There is never any efficiency in grooming girls before they go out. Although Lu Xiuer had neither cosmetics nor beautiful clothes in the whole wardrobe, it took a quarter of an hour to just change into a slightly new-looking flower dress.

By the time the brother and sister finally walked out of the house with a small burden, Zheng Chun and Li Xing had already waited until their spirits were about to collapse.

"Oh, Su Xiucai, you've finally come out." Zheng Chun said with a bitter face.

"The two officials, I'm really embarrassed, since I was summoned by the magistrate, I always have to bathe and change clothes, and look solemn, so I delayed a little time, forgive me, forgive me." Su Hao ran the train with his mouth full, in fact, he just washed his face just now, and the rest of the time, he sat there drinking tea and waiting for Lu Xiu'er to dress up.

Bathe and change clothes, you just pull it! Li Xing scolded in his heart, you don't even have wet hair, could it be dry cleaning?

"Xiucai, Sister Ling, this is ......" Zheng Chun looked at the beaming Lu Xiu'er and asked in surprise. A few days ago, when sacrificing the Dragon King, Zheng Chun and Lu Xiu'er had a conflict, so he recognized Lu Xiu'er as Su Hao's sister. Looking at Lu Xiu'er's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to go out with Su Hao, so he couldn't help but ask more.

"My sister, I'll take her into the city with me." Su Hao said.

"But ......, well, let's go quickly." Zheng Chun was speechless, in the face of such a bullish talent, he could only compromise.

From Zhegui Township to the county seat, there are more than ten miles of road, and with Su Hao's physique, it is estimated that it will be dark when he walks to the county seat. The governor Su Zhong specially arranged an ox cart for Su Hao and the others to take the cart into the city. The one who was sent by Su Zhong to catch the car was Su Hao's neighbor Su Xiaohu, who was one year younger than Su Hao, five big and three thick, and had a very good relationship with Su Hao's family on weekdays.

The ox cart was winding along the dirt road in the countryside, Su Xiaohu sat in the front row to catch the car, and Su Hao and Lu Xiu'er sat side by side in the middle of the ox cart. Behind them, Zheng Chun and Li Xing sat in the back of the car with their backs to them.

Among the people in the car, the most excited is Lu Xiuer. In her 15-year-old career, the number of times she went to the county seat could be counted with a slap, and now she can go to the county seat in an ox cart, in her opinion, this is even happier than the New Year.

"Brother, you just told my mother, let me remind you something, how do you want me to remind you?" Lu Xiu'er asked Su Hao in a low voice.

There were people before and after, Lu Xiu'er was embarrassed to let others hear what she said, so she could only put her mouth to Su Hao's ear and muttered quietly. Between the bumps of the ox cart, Lu Xiu'er's lips touched Su Hao's ears from time to time, but she didn't feel anything herself, Su Hao only felt her heart swaying.

Lu Xiuer is the adopted daughter of the Su family in name, and in Jiangxi dialect, she is a girl who was "dialed" to the Su family since she was a child. In the rural areas of the south of the Yangtze River, this practice of adopting girls is very popular, and when these girls grow up, they are often directly married to the elder brother of the adoptive parents, so they are actually child daughters-in-law.

Raising a child bride is good for both the male and female families. For the girl's mother's family, it can reduce the population burden of the family, especially the kind of family with a lot of girls, and they are willing to give the girl to someone else's family to raise. For the family who adopts a girl, it is also very cost-effective to set a daughter-in-law for their son in advance and save a lot of money as a dowry. And the girls who have been raised by their side since they were children will have a more harmonious relationship with their mother-in-law in the future, at least they will not secretly take their mother-in-law's things back to their parents' house in three days.

When Lu Xiuer was "dialed" to Su Hao's house, she had just turned one year old, and Su Hao was only 3 years old at that time. When I was a child, two people played together and slept in the same bed, and this kind of skin-to-skin blind date was nothing at all. In the past few years, the two of them have grown up, so they naturally slept separately, but in Lu Xiuer's heart, there is really no concept of male and female defense.

Su Hao's situation is different, in the past, the nerd may not have noticed anything, but now this Su Hao has the soul of a later life. Think of a 15-year-old, youthful girl snuggling up to you, whispering in your ear, her soft lips gently touching your cheek from time to time.

"If I don't say that, can Mom let you go?" Su Hao resisted the thought of reaching out to grab Lu Xiu'er's slender waist, pretending to be casual, and replied.

"Ha, so you lied to your mother?" Lu Xiu'er felt a sense of relief in her heart, what she was most worried about was what major task she had to undertake when she went to the county seat, and this task was completely impossible for her to complete. Now it seems that her brother didn't expect her to do anything at all.

Su Hao said: "I just want to take you to see the world, have you never seen Zhixian?" ”

"You've seen it?" Lu Xiu'er asked unconvinced.

Su Hao said: "Of course I've seen it, when the boy took the exam, the magistrate was the examiner." ”

"Isn't the magistrate very fierce?" Lu Xiu'er asked.

Su Hao thought about it vigorously, and the impression of Zhixian in his mind seemed to have nothing left except for the two hat wings. Back then, that talent Su Hao was an otaku at all, trembling and sweating in front of the magistrate, where did he dare to stare at the magistrate carefully. However, he wouldn't say this to Lu Xiu'er, he just smiled and said: "Zhixian is also a person, he must be fierce sometimes, and sometimes he is quite kind." ”

"Brother, am I going to see Zhixian too?" Lu Xiu'er asked timidly.

"Of course, what are you going to do with me?" Su Hao asked rhetorically.

"I don't dare." Lu Xiu'er said in a voice that was almost so faint that she couldn't hear clearly, "Brother, the magistrate didn't say he wanted to see me, Xiaohu and I will wait for you outside." ”

"We'll talk about it then." Su Hao waved his hand and said, in fact, he didn't plan to take Lu Xiu'er to see Zhi County, he asked Lu Xiu'er to go to the county seat with him, just to take this poor country girl to relax.

Talking and laughing all the way, in the middle of the morning, the group finally came to the county seat. Su Hao's memory only had some shadows of the county seat, and when he came to the county seat, these shadows gradually became clear.

Fengcheng County is located on the south bank of the Ganjiang River, with a total of four large city gates in the southeast and northwest, as well as 6 small gates such as Zhegui Gate, Guangfeng Gate, Dengxian Gate, Gaosheng Gate, Wangxian Gate and Xiaodong Gate. From the east gate to the west gate, it is a wide main street, and there are more than a dozen arches along the way, such as Fangyue Fang, Fu Lu Fang, Jinshi Fang, Zhongyi Fang, etc. Perpendicular to the main street, there are a number of alleys, according to the people living in the alleys and related allusions, respectively called Lanjia Lane, Caojia Lane, Zhilin Lane, Taiping Lane, Chengtou Lane and so on.

The county town is covered with a dense water network, and the place where the water surface is slightly expanded, it is called a small lake, such as Yanjia Lake, Zengjia Lake, Nanchan Lake, Sand Lake, Lianhu Lake and so on. Along the edge of the lake, there are houses with blue bricks and green tiles. Fengcheng is also the most affluent place in Jiangxi, known as Jinfeng City and Silver Poyang, and the people in the county are well-off, and the houses they live in are also particularly exquisite.

Fengcheng County Ya is located in the north of the county seat, there is a small lake in front of the county Ya, there is a small stone bridge in the middle, the small lake is divided into two halves, called two crab eyes, I don't know what the reason is. After crossing the stone bridge, there is an open space, and then there is the gate of the county office. A few servants stood at the door with ruthless sticks, quite majestic.

"This is the Zhixian Yamen!" Lu Xiu'er looked at the mighty and domineering county government gate, covered her mouth in surprise, and asked Su Hao.

"Haven't you been to the county seat?" Su Hao asked.

Lu Xiu'er said: "I came with the adults in the village a few years ago, and they didn't let me run around, I remember eating a bowl of fried noodles in a place called Nantou Lane, and it was delicious." ”

"Hehe, I'll take you to eat again in a while, so that you can get back the memories of your childhood." Su Hao said happily.

"Mom only gave us 50 yuan...... Lu Xiu'er reminded in a low voice.

"Don't worry, follow my brother, there is meat to eat." Su Haoniu patted his chest coaxingly and promised.
