It was hot and sultry, under the old willow tree, Xiao Man stretched out her hands, and the small bell on her wrist made a slight sound, she stretched out her little hand to the handle of the well wheel, clenched her silver teeth, and turned the wheel vigorously, and after a while, a bucket of cool water came up.

She raised her sleeves to wipe the fine sweat on her forehead, gritted her teeth, and carried the small wooden bucket to the small courtyard, the sun shone behind her, she was wearing a thin and light dress today, her back was already soaked, and her snow-white skin was looming.

At this time, a man with a rough expression suddenly walked up to her and called to her softly: "Little barbarian girl, Master Song asked you to go to Guanya."

"Hey! Got it! After Xiao Man glanced at Cao Bin gratefully, and saw that he turned around and left, he immediately put down the small wooden barrel on the spot, took a copper spoon to lock the door of the small courtyard, and ran out of the county government all the way happily.

The tooth shop is roughly equivalent to the current intermediary agency, which is an intermediary business between the buyer and the seller to introduce the transaction and evaluate the quality and price of the goods, while the "official tooth" refers to the tooth shop that holds the official tooth sticker, which is more formal than the "people's tooth".

There is only one tooth shop on the street in Yongtai County, that is, the official tooth diagonally opposite the Wang's butcher shop and the martial arts baked cake shop, Xiaoman often follows Song Ting to the martial arts baked cake shop to eat baked cakes, so the location of the official tooth is naturally known.

Xiaoman walked to the street, her steps were brisk, and she was in a happy mood, although she didn't know what the master wanted her to do in Yaxing, but as long as she knew that he was back, her heart was extremely happy.

Last night, without the sound of his gentle breathing, she couldn't sleep all night, looking at the dark room, the dissolved moonlight sprinkled in, some light and shadow were like ghosts and ghosts, which made people look frightened, causing her to wrap her tightly and tremble, which would let Qingzhu and Snow Goose know, and they would definitely laugh at her again......

I remember a few days ago, she went to clean up the miscellaneous room next to her, she wanted to move to the miscellaneous room to sleep, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the horse master, saying that it was so dirty that she could live in it, and asked her not to move. She had no choice but to listen to him and not move.

Passing through the alleys and alleys, the light and delicate figure was bathed in the oblique sunlight, and she was dressed in a light dress, like a butterfly, walking from the street.

"Sister Ghostsword!" At the door of Wu's baked cake shop, she saw a ghost sword with a long sword in her hand from a distance, pacing lotus steps at the door of the official tooth, her eyes looking towards the hall of the tooth shop from time to time, looking impatient. She screamed, but Ghostsword didn't seem to hear it.

Xiao Man walked quickly across the street and saw two carriages parked next to Youjian, so she deliberately bypassed the carriage and came to Youjian, and shouted happily: "Sister Youjian!"

Youjian looked her up and down, deliberately straightened his face, and said jokingly: "Yo! I haven't seen it for half a month, and Xiao Nizi has gained a lot of weight......"

"Nothing, everything!" Xiaoman was not happy, pursed her pink lips and spun around in place, like a dancing little fluttershy, after the turn, she flashed her long eyelashes and asked, "Sister Youjian, why are you here too?"

Youjian put away his serious look, suddenly stretched out his hand, deliberately pinched her cheek, and chuckled: "Look at you, is it too good to eat this half moon......" After rubbing enough oil, he replied to her: "We are all here, and we will live here in the future!"

"Is it true?" Xiao Man's big eyes widened, ignoring the two lumps of blush that were pinched out of his face, he squeezed his big eyes in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "So...... The princess is here too? ”

Seeing Youjian pointing at the carriage, she didn't wait for Youjian to speak, she couldn't wait to step into the carriage, and as the curtain was lowered, she heard a shock, and a gentle voice came out of the car, "Xiaoman, why are you here?" ”

Song Ting was discussing the matter of renting a house with Yalang in the Yahang hall, and Yalang recognized the "Master Song" in front of him, and he was quite respectful between his words.

Song Ting wanted to rent a private house, Yalang introduced three houses, Song Ting finally chose the one close to the Xiaoqinhuai River, and let Yalang lead the way, after crossing the Hongqiao, it was there in a blink of an eye.

The owner of this house is said to be a big tea merchant in Luzhou who did business here fifteen years ago, and later he went to Bianliang and listed the house for sale and rent. The previous tenant was a scholarly Xianggong and his family, who rented for three years, won the Yangzhou Mansion Xiucai, and also went to Bianliang to prepare for the provincial examination.

This set of houses is located in the northwest direction of the county government, sitting in the north and facing south, and the small Qinhuai River in front of the door is turbulent, which has the beautiful meaning of rolling wealth; On the small soil slope in front of the door, a big locust tree hugged by three people, like a huge parasol, sheltering the clouds and avoiding the sun, at this time, the sunset is still shining, the light and shadow hit the white locust flowers, refracting some dazzling glow; At the bottom of the small dirt slope, there are two rows of orange trees, which grow high and low because no one takes care of them, and they are green and beautiful.

The house is surrounded by walls on all sides, and when you enter the courtyard gate, it presents a semi-courtyard courtyard structure, with a courtyard in the center, the main house faces south from the north, the kitchen from the east, and two summer houses with no other miscellaneous houses. However, the main house is big enough and there are many rooms, which is more than enough for Song Ting and the women to stay.

After the group visited, Song Ting asked Zhao Yuanzhen's opinion, and when he saw her nodding, he and Yalang handed over the formalities and silver taels, and after a simple arrangement, they took this private house as their home. Tables, chairs, benches, etc., are available in the main house, which is also convenient.

It is very convenient to live here to get water, in addition to the patio, there is also the nearby small Qinhuai River; It is also very quiet, there is no other house within ten zhang next to it, except for the faint sound of the river flowing, there is no other sound, when night comes, you can clearly hear the barking insects in all parts of the distance.

That night, Song Ting went to Chunfeng Lou to call a few dishes, and asked the guys in the store to pack and send them, the guys in Chunfeng Lou naturally knew this Master Song, and they didn't dare to slack off, and after Song Ting's stewed crab roe lion head, boiled dried shreds, three sets of duck, crystal meat, squirrel fish and other dishes, they packed two plum red food boxes, and the two guys sent them to the door of the new house.

Song Ting and the women happily had dinner. At the banquet, Xiaoman's mouth kept telling what had happened in the past half a month, saying how the master of the horse solved the case, how the officials of the county government admired him, how he managed the villagers, how he won the hearts of the people, how she walked on the street and how she was honored, etc., she kept chattering, but she couldn't speak clearly, upside down, but Zhao Yuanzhen seemed to like to listen very much, when she heard her say this, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, her red lips were pursed, and her beautiful eyes looked at Song Ting with surprise, appreciation, and joy.

Youjian buried his head in eating by himself, didn't listen or listen, and when he stretched out his chopsticks, he bumped into Song Ting's chopsticks from time to time, and glared at him fiercely, because Zhao Yuanzhen was beside him, Song Ting just couldn't see her, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her; Xue Yan was only thirteen years old, as if she was curious about everything, no matter what others said, she stared at her stupidly and listened carefully, which made Song Ting wonder if this little girl would be more simple and easy to deceive than Xiaoman when she grew up......

On the table, only Qingzhu was stunned with chopsticks and chopsticks, and the whole person looked stunned, as if he was sleepwalking. The scar on the lower right side of her face was like a large, noticeable birthmark. I don't know what kind of means the gangsters who kidnapped her back then left this scar, even Ouyang and Huangfu, the two old doctors, were helpless. was originally a beautiful woman with a sense of antiquity, but because of the scar on her face, she had to live by wearing a veil to cover half of her face every day, no wonder she was so sentimental and silent.

After the dishes are wiped out like a whirlwind, the dishes are stuffed into the plum red food box, and they will be sent back to the Chunfeng Building tomorrow, but there is no need to wash the dishes and chopsticks, well, ordering is so convenient.

He didn't say anything all night, and the next day he got up early in the morning, and was just about to go out to the county office, when he walked under the big locust tree, he looked back at the door of the courtyard, and looked at the bare door, and always felt that something was wrong, as if it was ...... The residences of the literati should have a name, right?

After glancing at Xiao Qinhuaihe, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and when he had it, he went back to the house and took a pen and paper, and wrote down the three words "Linshui Xuan", which was quite in line with the artistic conception, and when he saw Xiaoman coming in, he showed her these three words, and instructed: "Go to make a sign today, engrave these three words, and hang them on the courtyard door."

Xiaoman looked at these three words, and when he saw that they were all words he knew, he clapped his hands and said yes!

After Song Ting's entrustment, he went out, and when he went to the county government office, he went to Chunfeng Building by the way, and asked the guys there to go to the new house to get the food box.

Song Ting just entered the signing room, raised his eyes and looked, yo, the sun is really coming out in the west today...... Wu Ruxiong, the magistrate of the county, actually arrived early, he kept rubbing his hands there, looking anxious, and when he saw Song Ting coming in, he immediately came over and said with a smile on his face: "Master Song, you are here!"

At this time, Master Ding, Shi County Lieutenant, and Ye Dianshi had just arrived, Wu Ruxiong immediately called them over, and several people gathered around a tea table, Wu Ruxiong's round face showed an anxious look, and said: "Now there is a very urgent matter, which requires all colleagues and this official to work together to do it, I hope you colleagues can help this official!"

Master Ding and the others hurriedly asked what was going on, and Song Ting also felt that it must be a big deal, otherwise Wu Ruxiong would not have been able to wait for everyone here early in the morning, and he would not have seen his shadow at all when it was not until the dawn of the day.

Wu Ruxiong showed a bitter look on his face, hehe, and sneered: "Everyone, this matter can be regarded as a great event, but it is not a happy event."

Master Ding and the others all asked, "Lord County, I don't know what the hell is going on?"

Wu Ruxiong's face was full of grievances, and he rubbed his hands in a panic and said: "Tomorrow the Dragon Boat Festival, the transfer of this road will make Master Dong come to this county......

"Huh? Lord Dong is coming to this county? ”

Hearing this, Master Ding and the others were all shocked.

Song Ting was also shocked, this transfer envoy, but a big official, the transfer envoy is in charge of the wealth of the road, and has the right to supervise local officials, the beginning of the founding of the Liang will set the country as 15 roads, and then added to the 28th road, Yangzhou Mansion belongs to the right road of Jianghuai, this transfer envoy is equivalent to the governor of the road, if the road is replaced by the province to count, then the post of the transfer envoy is equivalent to the governor of a province!!

This...... The dignified three-product transfer envoy wants to come to this small Yongtai County during the Dragon Boat Festival, I don't know what kind of famous hall he wants to do?

"Is there an official document?" Song Ting asked.

Wu Ruxiong woke up like a dream, hurriedly took out the official document, held it in both hands and handed it to Song Ting, Song Ting opened the official document, read it carefully, and the official document was roughly written: Jianghuai right road is transferred to Dong Cheng to Yongtai County during the Dragon Boat Festival to inspect the folk customs, and the county government is ready to greet him; In order to ensure the safety of Lord Dong, Wu Kui, the prefect of Yangzhou, led the tiger talisman to Jiangyou Camp to transfer 200 forbidden troops, and transferred 300 Xiang soldiers to the state capital.

Song Ting told Wu Ruxiong about the content of the official document, and then handed the official document to Ding Zhushu and others to see, and everyone knew the content of the official document, so they gathered to discuss.

"The official document just said, let us be ready to greet us, and cooperate to protect the safety of Lord Dong, we don't have to worry about other things, and the prefect is also responsible for the transfer of troops, and the rest ...... It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with us. Song Ting, Ding Zhushu and others came to the same conclusion.

But Wu Ruxiong patted his thigh and wailed: "I said that I was looking at folk customs, but what if Master Dong came to supervise me......"

Song Ting, Ding Zhushu and others all gave him a "you think too much" look. The official document clearly says that the investigation of folk customs is clear, to put it bluntly, it is just to come here for a Dragon Boat Festival.

However, there are actually three high-ranking officials who come to this small county, presumably this year's Dragon Boat Festival here will be much more lively than in previous years. It seems that something big is going to happen in this county......
