"Master, you go slowly, go slowly!"

On the official road leading from Beijing to Luoyang Mansion in Henan, a middle-aged man is dressed in coarse cloth clothes, wearing a square scarf, and carrying a cloth bag on his shoulder.

This person is none other than Qu Shiyun, who has just been appointed by Zhu Jian as the auxiliary minister of Henan and Shanxi, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Behind him, a man who looked like a small guy kept shouting, but he was already out of breath.

"Hey, you little guy, how many times have you been told you, you have to exercise more on weekdays, look at it, how long has it been since you left the team, you are already so unbearable!"

Facing the call of the little guy behind him, Qu Shiyun finally slowed down a little, and when the little guy caught up, it was a burst of chowling.

Faced with the rebuke of his master, the little guy laughed and said.

"I said master, how can I compare to you, this from Nanzhili to Jingshi, you have been getting up earlier than our servants all these years, practicing every day, walking on these places, it is naturally very easy!"

Seeing that the little guy was quibbling on the side, Qu Shiyun was a little annoyed.

"Hmph, you little guy, still do such strong quibbles, I think I've really spoiled you over the years, I shouldn't have brought you to Jingshi in the first place, I should have stayed in my hometown Zhuangzi to cultivate the land!"

Facing his own master, he was a little stunned, but the little guy still said.

"Master, look at what you said, the little one naturally understands that the old man cares about the little one, but if you really leave the little one in the Zhuangzi, then who else will serve you, the master! You say no. ”

The so-called person who stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling face, facing his own little guy like this, Qu Shiyun also sighed, but he didn't say much anymore and continued to catch up.

But it was said that this master and servant traveled more than ten miles, and finally found a roadside tea shed to rest.

"Master, I really don't understand, there is a good sedan chair not to sit, you have to go by yourself!"

Faced with the little guy's complaints, Qu Shiyun took a piece of dry food that had been prepared before, took a bite, but ignored it.

Seeing that his master ignored him, the little guy was taking care of himself.

"Mr. Ai said that saints are generally very generous, and I never thought that the master would be such a small family!"

For this little guy's mouth, Qu Shiyun was amused for a while.

"I said you, Sage Kong, you don't say anything when you eat, you don't say anything when you sleep, do you know it!"

Hearing what his master said, the little guy smiled slyly, as if he had succeeded.

"Master, look, who said you ignored me!"

For his own little guy, Qu Shiyun was also speechless, but at this moment, for Mr. Ai mentioned in the little guy's mouth, Qu Shiyun sighed for a while.

"After a few years, I don't know how Mr. Ai has been recently, but when things have improved, I should visit Mr."

To say that this Mr. Ai, whose Chinese name is Julius, is a Jesuit missionary from Italy to China, with whom Qu Shiyun had earlier befriended, and Qu Shiyun had been baptized into the Church.

"Master, master, you haven't told the little one yet, why do you have to suffer this?"

Seeing that his master ignored him, this little guy was the way.

Hearing this, Qu Shiyun was also annoyed, but he said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty appointed me to come, is it possible that you want to hear these things too."

As for Qu Shiyun's words, the little guy immediately closed his mouth, stretched his neck and looked around, seeing that there were no other suspicious figures, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing, little?"

Seeing this, Qu Shiyun couldn't help but scold again.

"Shhhhh

Hearing this, Qu Shiyun said with a smile.

"You little guy, you still listen to those rumors, and you are talking nonsense here, when you stay in Luoyang, I don't care about you!"

For what his master said, the little guy stuck out his tongue unconsciously.

And a moment later, Qu Shiyun said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty has always had great ambitions, and he wants to turn the tide, but how big the world is, but it is full of hardships and dangers, the ministers of the DPRK and China are intertwined, and the road of reform is not easy, not to mention that Jinyi and Dongchang are notorious, and they have long been useless! If Your Majesty really has such an existence, it will be excellent! ”

And at this moment, in the face of his master's sigh, the little guy stopped talking, as if he was a little fascinated by it.

The rest was about half an hour, and it was about time before it was time to go, but Qu Shiyun had to set off again.

"I just heard the second brother of the tea shop say that there is a village not far away, you and I need to speed up our pace, otherwise, we will miss the hour!"

But it was said that the master and the servant set off again, but they arrived at a forest after a while, and at this moment, Qu Shiyun seemed to have thought of something, but he sighed heavily.

"Sir, what are you?"

"Oh, it's fine, it's just that I just thought of my teacher."

Speaking of this, Qu Shiyun stopped talking, and when he heard this, the little guy didn't speak.

The mentor that Qu Shiyun said in his mouth was none other than Qian Qianyi, the former leader of the Donglin Party.

Before leaving, the news that Qian Qianyi was assassinated by King Fu had already occupied most of the pages in the imperial capital newspapers directly under the Royal Newspaper Bureau.

Regarding the killing of Qian Qianyi, it was a storm in the city, and everyone knows it!

In addition to lamenting the passing away of a generation of Shilin leaders, it is more of a contempt for Qian Qianyi, a kind of ridicule!

Yes, as the leader of the Donglin Party and a generation of literary leaders, he was openly slandering the members of the imperial court, and after being spared imprisonment by the emperor's grace, he actually colluded with the vassal king, and even knelt outside the noon gate after the conspiracy failed, begging the emperor to forgive!

But here is to lose the face of scholars, the face of scholars, and what is even more ironic is that on the way to Henan to investigate King Fu on the way to Henan under Qian Qianyi's order, he was assassinated by King Fu!

And for Qian Qianyi, who has been wrong again and again, the emperor forgave again and again, and ended up like this, in the eyes of everyone, how can it not be a kind of irony!

"Master Qian's heart has already deteriorated, and he ended up like this, but he can't blame anyone!"

After a sigh, Qu Shiyun set off again.

The two continued to hurry, and finally at sunset, they found a small village and settled in an old man's house.

The old man's home here is destitute, the courtyard of the three rooms, the walls on the yellow mud masonry have long been peeled off, and the gray tiles on the beams are even more incomplete, once it rains, there is no place between the houses that can completely shelter the rain.

As for the arrival of this master and servant, although the old man did not refuse, there was a little sadness on his face, as if there was something unspeakable.

For a long time, the old man deflated his dry mouth, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Today's dinner was for my wife, but the two guests were."

At this moment, Qu Shiyun had already noticed a broken bowl on a broken table in this room, a pair of bamboo extravagances that he had cut at a glance, and a large lump of green and slimy things in the broken bowl was actually a boiled wild vegetable, and there was not even a trace of oil on it.

Seeing this, Qu Shiyun was sad for a while, because from the old man's words, he could hear that even such a so-called 'meal' was only enough for one person to eat!

"Old man, I'm waiting for dry food, come, old man, you can also have a piece!"

Seeing the piece of cake handed over by Qu Shiyun, although the old man subconsciously pursed his lips, he refused to accept anything.

In the end, it was under Qu Shiyun's good words that he took it, but it was also a burst of gratitude.

"Old man, passing by here in his later life, there is one thing that I don't understand, why such a big village is so sparsely populated?"

In response to Qu Shiyun's question, the old man sighed heavily.

"You don't know this showman!"

And just when the old man shouted out a show, the little guy on the side couldn't help but laugh 'poof', but because his master was born as a dignified jinshi, but in the old man's mouth, he became a showman!

As for the little guy's laughter, Qu Shiyun glared at him fiercely, but the little guy's mouth that was about to speak was immediately closed.

"Old man, you go on."
