The streets of Nanpi are wide, the ground is paved with craggy stone bricks, and the floor is very clean. Pedestrians and vendors echo the sounds of the market, and the whole market is very lively.

Yuan Xi and Tian Chou walked down the street, pointing at the shops on both sides.

"The way the roadside vendors are still a little too primitive, and we have a whole big mall there."

"Mall?"

"It's about having all the stores in one place, so that the flow of people is pooled, and the transactions are more frequent. However, there is not much practical value here, after all, the common people are so poor that they don't have spare money to buy things. ”

"Hmm......" Tian Chou fell into deep thought.

Yuan Xi grabbed a thief who was stealing with his backhand, this guy reached into a busy pedestrian bag, trying to get something, Yuan Xi grabbed him quickly.

"Brother, stealing things also depends on the object, do you think this uncle looks like a rich man?"

The uncle who was stolen looked back at the two of them and slipped away in a hurry.

The thief saw that Yuan Xi was not good-looking and short, so he became fierce and said, "Don't be nosy!" ”

He raised his fist and was about to exert his might, but Lou Jingshu behind Yuan Xi had already flown up with a kick and hit him between his legs.

"Ahh

Yuan Xi clapped his hands, looked at the crowd of onlookers, and said, "Disperse, a little episode." ”

He turned his head and said to Tian Chou as if nothing had happened: "The population of Youzhou is a big problem, I have never seen such a lively place in Ji County. Even a thief has never seen it. ”

The two walked around again, and Lou Jingshu still followed behind Yuan Xi, but everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Tian Chou said: "The people in Youzhou have all gone south, and there are many civilians in Nanpi who came from Youzhou, I don't believe you can catch one and ask." ”

He grabbed a passer-by and asked, "Brother, where is your ancestral home?" ”

The man was questioned by him, felt inexplicable, and said casually: "Liucheng's, what's wrong?" ”

Sure enough, it's from Youzhou. Tian Chou let go of his sleeves and said to Yuan Xi: "Look, Youzhou people." If it weren't for years of war and displacement, these people would not have left their homes. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the biggest impact was Jizhou, because Zhang Jiao was a native of Jizhou, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jizhou was the most stable, and Jizhou Mu had a lot of credit. ”

Jizhou Mu is Yuan Shao. Yuan Xi said: "It's rare to hear you praise my father." ”

Tian Chou said: "I have one thing to say, Jizhou pastor has a good governance, but at best, he is a state pastor, and he wants to be the master of the world, and his instrument is not big enough." ”

Yuan Xi smiled, and didn't care about his words, but said, "Let's think of a way to let the people of Youzhou return to their homeland." ”

Tian Chou asked, "What method is used?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Publicity! Publicize new policies, new atmosphere, and attract them back to their original places. People always prefer to stay in their hometown, and who would go to a strange place if they have the ability? ”

He called Lu Fang and said, "You go and draft a proclamation to tell you about the changes that have taken place in Youzhou...... You have to use spring and autumn penmanship, you know. ”

Lu Fang said: "Uh...... Could this be a suspicion of deception? ”

Yuan Xi said: "Don't be so sincere. Besides, there are still changes, but they are a little slower, and by the time these people pack their bags and return to their hometowns, they will almost be effective. ”

Lu Fang sighed.

Tian Chou said: "Unrestrained, unrestrained, it seems that there is nothing impossible in your eyes." Second son, I'm really convinced by you now. ”

Yuan Xi said proudly: "Hehe, it depends on the effect." I've just read a few more books than you...... "and two thousand more years of knowledge." In fact, in this way, among the traversers, he can be regarded as ordinary. He couldn't help but compare it horizontally, with more than 2,000 years of experience, he could neither fly an airplane nor build a cannon, and he couldn't even get gunpowder, which really embarrassed the traverser. Forget it, anyway, he is the only one in this world, and no one knows. How can anyone cross every day, and it is not written.

When they returned to the Taishou Mansion, Yuan Shang set aside a few rooms for them to live in, located in the southwest corner of the entire courtyard, the environment was good, and there was a small garden around it, with a pond.

Yuan Xi went to the room and washed his face, and then walked to the small garden and sat quietly. Suddenly, the sound of the piano sounded, and a crisp song sounded.

The singing voice matches the voice, which looks very good, and a few of the lyrics seem to be sentences in the Book of Poetry, Yuan Xi only heard the sentence "When I see a gentleman, my heart is happy", which is considered to be a little impression. Now his literary level has also improved a lot, and he knows that this is the expression of a woman's feelings when she meets the man she likes. When he heard the other party sing this song, he faintly compared himself to a gentleman, and he couldn't help but be happy, thinking to himself which girl this was.

Seeing no one, it was even more itchy, Yuan Xi couldn't help but stand up, followed the sound, walked around a tree, but found a woman sitting on a stone, stroking the piano and singing at the same time. When he saw his face clearly, it turned out to be the singer Shi'er that Yuan Shang had introduced before.

Yuan Xi said in his heart that it was a pity, it was his brother's woman.

When she finished singing, Yuan Xi clapped her hands and praised: "It's really good to sing." ”

Shi'er stood up, bowed slightly to Yuan Xi, and said, "But I didn't know that the second son was coming, it was rude." ”

Yuan Xi said: "I'm just wondering, what made the poet girl sing this song?" The elite is in the middle of it. Seeing a gentleman, happy and ceremonial. There's no one around here. ”

Shi'er turned her head away and whispered, "Isn't there a second son here?" ”

Yuan Xi's head was hot, and he thought: "There is a play." So he continued: "My third brother is good-looking, and he can speak well, and he is a recognized beautiful man in Yecheng, is he not worthy of the title of gentleman in the girl's heart?" ”

Shi'er turned around, gently stroked the strings, and said slightly: "The second son mentioned the third son at this time, isn't it a bad scenery?" ”

"How?"

"I've only been in Taishou Mansion for two days, and there are a total of eight sentences that I have said with the third prince, and I don't know each other at all."

Yuan Xi smiled: "But what we have said between us is only three sentences so far." ”

Shi'er bit her lip and said: "Pan Yang Zhou, carrying sinking and floating." When I see a gentleman, my heart rests. He actually sang the poem just now, which was full of twists and turns, which made Yuan Xi feel a little pity.

In this era, I have never seen a woman who takes the initiative to confess. Yuan Xi thought to himself, so he took two steps and gently put his hands on her fragrant shoulders.

Shi'er's body was shocked, and she couldn't imagine that this second son was so bold and direct.

But for Yuan Xi, a modern person, it seems very normal.

"Let's go, go to my room and talk to ......" Yuan Xi took her hand and was about to leave.

"But now it's daytime, and it's very inconvenient for men and women to ......be alone."

"What's going on during the day? You can see clearly when the light is good. At night, it is easy to kill people. ”

Shi'er was a little confused, thinking why this person was so anxious, but with the orders of the third prince, she didn't dare to refuse Yuan Xi, so she stepped on the lotus step and followed suit.

When I got past the tree, a man came up and blocked the way.

"Oh, the Lou Guard......"

Lou Jingshu saw Yuan Xi holding the hand of a beautiful woman, her face couldn't help but change, and she arched her hand and said, "Mr. Tian has something to discuss with the second son." ”

Yuan Xi let go of Shi'er's hand and said, "Let him come over in another hour." Don't you see that I have a guest now? ”

Lou Jingshu said: "Mr. Tian said that the matter is very urgent, and now he wants the second son to go over." ”

Yuan Xi's eyes rolled, and he said angrily: "What is so urgent, such a ...... at such a juncture" He turned to Shi'er and said: "Miss Shi'er, it's really unfortunate that something happens today, or let's talk about it another day." ”

Shi'er had no choice but to laugh, she couldn't help but be very embarrassed when she saw that the guard on the opposite side of the building turned out to be a woman. When Yuan Xi hurriedly went with Lou Jingshu, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
