You and I are nong, and there are many feelings; There are many feelings, hot as fire: twist a piece of mud, twist a you, and shape a me.

Break the two of us together and mix them with water; Twist another you, and shape another me. I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud: I am born with you in the same coffin, and I die in the same coffin.

Shen Mo and Ruohan are a pair of jade people, good workmanship, like heavenly beings. More joy is deep affection, you and me, men and women love each other, more than other couples. In addition to the night of the flower candle breaking the melon, because of pity for the lady and the shallow taste, after the three days of returning to the door, silently pushed but should be on official business, then the whole day and the lady into a pair of catch pairs, morning and evening fun, really sit and sit, dream soul as a companion.

It was only on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that Hu Zongxian sent three messengers to order him to go to Hangzhou for a meeting as soon as possible, saying that there was an emergency waiting for him to deal with.

Shen Mo originally planned to leave on the fifteenth day, but he was caught off guard, but he didn't dare to delay, and told the messenger that he would leave the next day, and then went to various places to leave. He estimated that no matter what he had to face, he would have to go to Suzhou to take office, and he had the intention to take Ruohan with him, but he didn't want to be laughed at by his colleagues, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to go alone.

When it was night, he discussed with Ruohan and asked her to stay at home first, and then pick her up when things settled down. Ruohan also agreed to the righteousness at the beginning, but later thought that he would not see each other for a few months, and the loving husband and wife, like glue and paint, it was the time for the honey to mix oil, how could he bear to separate for a while? Not to mention months? I didn't feel the two tears exchanged, and I was secretly sad. Shen Mo was also reluctant to part, and comforted softly, and tossed until the second half of the night before falling asleep.

By the time dawn came, Ruohan had already gotten up and was packing his luggage for him outside. Shen Mo got up quietly, hugged her tightly from behind and said, "I'm going this time, it's purely out of necessity, as soon as I settle down, I'll take you over." ”

After being obsessed all night, Ruohan has become much calmer, she said softly: "The business is important, don't worry about the concubine ......" said and looked at Rou Niang who was placing the dishes and chopsticks outside, and said softly: "You take Rou Niang with you, there is a good person to serve......"

"Let her stay with you." Shen Mo shook his head.

"Let her go with you," Ruohan secretly pinched him and said, "Duplicity." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "Look at you, who is duplicitous?" I think you're still doing nothing. Although he really wanted to take Rou Niang on the road with him, but now that he has eaten the marrow, he is afraid that he will not be able to control it, and it will be a big trouble to kill people. Suo simply didn't bring anyone with his surname, and he could still give Ruohan a good impression, so he reluctantly cut his love and decided to go on the road alone.

After eating, after saying goodbye to his wife in tears, he went to the main house to bid farewell to his father, and Shen Mo took his forty personal soldiers to the outside of the city to meet with the guards sent by Hu Zongxian to meet him, and went to Hangzhou.

In the past few years, Shen Mo has been to Hangzhou several times, either by boat, or on horseback, and has also taken a carriage like this time, but the pomp and circumstance everywhere is not as good as this time.

I saw a magnificent four-pitch-black carriage in front of a team of cavalrymen with big red cloaks and armor, neatly opening the road in front. There was also a cavalry escort in the back, and there were two teams of cavalry on both sides of the carriage, and the momentum was very strong.

This is the standard pomp of the governor, and if you silently discharge yourself, it is an arrogance. But this is the arrangement of Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is the governor Hu who leans towards the southeast, conveying the goodwill with the hot Shen Governor's Mansion!

Of course, among them, there is also Hu Zongxian's intention to show that he does not forget to dig wells and not forget to be an official and not forget to be a great benefactor.

The team ran all the way and arrived at Xiaoshan Station in the evening. The iron pillar, who had already put on the color of the seven-rank military general's uniform, arched his hand and said: "My lord, let's rest here tonight, and we will go to Hangzhou at noon tomorrow." ”

Shen Mo poked his head out of the carriage, looked ahead, and asked, "Why don't you go in?" ”

"Lord Hui, there seems to be some conflict at the door," Tie Zhu hurriedly reported: "I'm going to ask them to make way." ”

Silently pricked up his ears to listen, and sure enough, there was a quarrel. Holding Tie Zhu's arm, he got out of the carriage, moved his numb hands and feet, and walked over and said, "Look and see." ”

Tiezhu couldn't do it, so he had to order the team to stop temporarily, and he took two people to hurry up.

Walking over silently, I saw a fat man dressed as a post man, with a few post guards blocking the gate of the post station, confronting a middle-aged man in cloth clothes. Behind the middle-aged man, there was a shrunken old man in ragged clothes and a shivering thin child in his arms.

The men were silent at first and did not hear the argument, but the people of the inn who were facing him seemed to have lost their last trace of patience when they saw a large group of people coming. I only heard the fat Yicheng say to the middle-aged man: "Hurry up and flash to the side, don't be a noble official and enter the post!" ”

The middle-aged man wearing a coarse cotton coat and a cotton jacket with a hat on his back, when he heard this, he looked back at the magnificent guard of honor, and his cold gaze even interlaced with silence, and he turned his head as if nothing had happened: "You give the money to the old man, and we will naturally get out of the way." ”

Yi Cheng said angrily: "How many times have I told you, we are just running errands, if there is anything to go to Xiaoshan County, tell our county lord!" ”

"Okay, we'll stay tonight, and you can go to the county seat with me tomorrow." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Am you mistaken? This is an official post, and only court officials can move in with their qualifications! Saying that, he snorted fiercely: "You Diao Min, and this old man named Huazi, don't want to come in this life!" ”

The middle-aged man said coldly: "Isn't it Kanhe? I have! Then he took out a brown paper bag from his bosom, and saw in silence that it was a large envelope for the officials...... That's what my mandate is for.

Yi Chenghu suspiciously reached out to take the big envelope, but the middle-aged man shrank his hand, and he was empty, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you going to do?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man take out a piece of letterhead with words written on it from the envelope, and the big red gate on it was an inch square, which was the measure of the big seal of the officials. He carried the piece of paper with three fingers, and reached it in front of the post and said, "Open your dog's eyes and see." ”

Yi Cheng and a few of his subordinates approached and read: "Order Fujian Nanping to teach Hai Rui, move south to Suzhou Prefecture and Changzhou Governor ......" After reading it, he still doubted: "It won't be stolen, right?" I really didn't blame them for asking, but I saw that this benevolent brother was wearing a coarse cotton coat and stepping on mud-stained cloth shoes. In his hand, he held a large gray mule, and the mule carried a simple bamboo cage on its back, and there was nothing else.

"Dogs look at people's low things," the one named Hai Rui said coldly: "Anyway, I can't run, you will follow me to see your county honor, and you will know whether my Haigang Peak is true or not!" Although he was thin, his voice was majestic and powerful, and people involuntarily gave in.

Yi Cheng summed up with the people on the side and said, "Forget it, come in quickly, don't get in the way of the nobles." ”

Hai Rui snorted, turned sideways to the old man behind him and said, "Let's go in." This time, it was pleasant, as if it was a different person.

As soon as the words fell, the Yicheng stopped him again: "You can go in, but the two of them can't." Saying that, Pi Xiaorou didn't smile and said: "The people living in it are all adults, what kind of system is it to let this old man Hanako go in?" ”

"The old man is not called Hanako, he is a charcoal burner who supports himself!" Hai Rui said coldly: "He spent a winter, chopped thousands of catties of firewood, burned thousands of catties of charcoal, and all of them were counting on some money to spend the spring famine of the year!" Even if you give him half of the money, he will not be so hungry and cold! As he spoke, he became angry and approached the two and said, "But what about you? It's been two months and you haven't given money, but you can't bear to see their grandchildren begging outside for two days and two nights, neither letting them go in to escape the cold, nor giving them a water or a meal to satisfy their hunger, has your conscience let the dog eat?! ”

Several people were trained by him to stand unsteadily, how could they dare to let go? Yi Cheng secretly shouted bad luck and got out of the way: "Take them to the T-shaped room, and give them some rice and noodles for them to cook by themselves." Said to Hai Rui with a depressed face: "I am really unlucky to meet you, the god of mourning, during the Chinese New Year!" ”

Hai Rui also looked at the post man expressionlessly, then handed the reins to his hand, and helped the old man straight in.

Yi Cheng said: "Hey! What are you doing for me with this mule? ”

"Hey!" As he spoke, Hai Rui had already walked through the door and was nowhere to be seen.

Standing silently not far away, everything that had just happened was in his eyes. After Hai Rui entered, the post man ran over quickly, nodded and said, "Let the adults wait for a long time, please come inside." ”

Shen Mo looked at him funny and said, "Don't you look at my suitability?" ”

"Your old jade tree is in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth." Yi Cheng's head shook like a rattle, and he said with a flattering smile: "There are such high-standard guards, so small that you are blind, and you know who you are." ”

"Who am I?" asked with a silent smile.

"Your surname is Gu Yue." Yi Cheng lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "It's the son of our Southeast Governor, right?" Silence almost fell headlong to the ground.

"Bold! Dare to slander my family! Tie Zhu raised his horsewhip and whipped the post man and said: "It seems that you are not only a dog looking down on people, you are still old and dizzy!" ”

Yi Cheng hugged his head and begged for mercy: "Lord spare your life, you are so small that you don't know Mount Tai, may I ask whose son are you?" ”

Asked Tie Zhu to stop, and replied silently: "The son of the Shaoxing magistrate." And he took the guards and went in.

Looking at the fiercely armed guards who rushed in, the post man covered his hot cheeks, he really wanted to cry without tears, and his heart said that he really saw the god of mourning.

The post guard came over and asked in a low voice, "Boss, why are the sons of Hou Tuiguan so big?" "Xiaoshan is a county in Shaoxing Prefecture, and even the lowest-level officials are familiar with the adults in the mansion.

"No, Hou Tuiguan seems to have been transferred to Nanjing, and the current Tuiguan seems to be ......" Yi Cheng pondered vigorously: "The surname is Shen." Finally came to his senses, kicked away the men who were blocking the way, and chased after him: "Champion Gong, Champion Gong, please come here, the best cross-courtyard is here......"

It didn't matter what he said, the officials who stayed at the post station heard it, and naturally they would not let go of this opportunity to get acquainted with the famous Shen Liushou, and they all began to write famous posts, prepare for greeting gifts, and prepare to visit.

But there are also lonely and unheard, and they sent people everywhere to inquire about which champion the prince was, an old servant who seemed to be in whose family, so he asked for an understanding, and muttered repeatedly: "Shen Liushou, Suzhou Tongzhi, Shen Liushou, I can't be mistaken." ”

"Which one is this? Send an old fool out to inquire, and I'm not afraid of making a mistake. Amid the laughter of the crowd, the old servant bent his waist and slowly went back to the west across the courtyard.

Amazingly, the guards standing guard at the door looked at him with awe. More amazing is yet to come...... When the courtyard door was closed, the old man's waist-like waist was miraculously straightened, and several girls in strong suits with graceful figures and infinitely beautiful faces greeted them and said, "Son, are you back?" ”

The guy who became a son again, smiled and touched the crisp breasts of the girl next to him and said: "You should call Uncle ......" His disguise technique was like entering the realm, and even those eyes were cloudy and silent, like seventy or eighty.

"Uncle...... several girls said coquettishly together, but they laughed like a flower after speaking.

The boy hugged two beauties left and right, and entered the room in the middle of Yingying Yanyan, and a woman next to him wanted to remove the disguise on his face, but he reached out and held it down: "Forget it, I wore half an hour of makeup last time, it's too troublesome." ”

"Are you going out?" The smart girl understands at once.

"Hmm." The 'old man' nodded and said, "But not now, wait for the third watch, and I'll go again when the guests are gone." A glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy 'old eyes', and he only heard him say with a lot of urgency: "Let's see if I can scare Zhuang Yuanlang into peeing on the kang." ”

"Childe is really bad......" is another burst of warblers and swallows.

The words were divided into two ends, and when I returned to silence, when I arrived at the post house, I just changed into a swallow suit, and guests began to visit. Although he really wanted to rest, but there were many friends and many ways in the officialdom, at least he couldn't offend people casually, so he had to cheer up, take the trouble to receive every visitor, listen to their uniform compliments, and then use moderate compliments to ensure that everyone came with a smile on their faces and left happily, at least he would not say that he was arrogant and arrogant.

This toss was on the third watch, and the last visitor left, silently stretched his tired hands and feet, leaned on the kang and closed his eyes to recuperate, obviously exhausted his energy.

Tie Zhu came over with a copper basin and said, "My lord, I have washed my feet." ”

Hearing Shen Mo's nasal 'um', Tie Zhu took off the adult's shoes and socks and put his feet into the basin. All of a sudden, the sleepiness disappeared, and he blew both feet: "Do you want bald pig's trotters?" ”

Tie Zhu stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water and said, "It's not too hot......"

"You can practice a buffalo skin, then you still know the hot and cold ......" Shen Mo said angrily: "Quick, get me a cool towel to compress." "I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: 'Retribution, this is the retribution without Rou Niang.'"

Tie Zhu hurriedly ran out, didn't know how to take a towel, and came back with a basin of vinegar, and gave the adults a cold compress and vinegar soak.

That's how it was handled, Shen Mo was still in the pain of his feet, but seeing Tie Zhu's guilty look, he endured the pain, pretended to be relaxed, and said: "It seems that this vinegar really works, it almost doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Tie Zhu was finally relieved, and silently put his head on the pillow and said, "I'm sleepy, you can also go out to rest." ”

"Yes......" Tie Zhu wanted to take the vinegar basin out, but was silently stopped: "Put the vinegar here, this smell can prevent colds." ”

Adults have always called the headache and brain fever caused by the wind and cold 'cold', and the iron pillar is used to it, so he put down the vinegar basin, took the water basin up, blew out most of the lights, and left only an oil lamp against the wall, so that the adults can have a light when they get up at night, and go out.

Tie Zhu went out with a basin of water, opened the door and fell into the patio, looking at the sky outside, it was gloomy, there was no moon or stars, and he was still cold in his jacket, and he couldn't help muttering: "How can my lord say that I don't know hot and cold?" The water in that basin is hot, and it's cold outside, and I think I still know......" After saying that, he was about to pour water into the patio, but then he said to himself, 'If you don't get it right at night, it will freeze, and if you slip at night, it won't be good.' With a loud noise, he poured a basin of water into the holly bushes under the eaves, and then turned and closed the door and went into the house.

He didn't see a ghostly man in black lying quietly behind the holly bushes...... The quality of the man in black was extremely high, even if he was doused with foot-washing water, he was still motionless.

After the courtyard was quiet for a long time, the black-clothed man moved silently, flashing from the flowers to the root of the wall, who knew that it didn't matter if the soaked body didn't move, and it was cold to the bones when he moved, and he couldn't help but secretly say: 'I knew this, this son should have come ......by wearing sharkskin water' Thinking of this, he scolded himself for being a slut, and said in his heart: 'If you know that you will drink footwater, this son will still have a head.' ’
