Xie Muyu naturally didn't believe it, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you make fun of your concubines." ”

Gao Xiu'er covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister, what my husband said is indeed true. When my sister and I first met him, his hair didn't grow a few inches for you. ”

At that time, Liu Ziqiu had just crossed over and picked up a big cow's clothes, if it weren't for the headscarf wrapped around his head, that kind of hairstyle would be very unusual. After all, in this era, people pay attention to the hair and skin of the body, and no one can easily shave their hair by their parents.

Liu Ziqiu also thought of his rì in the army, not bald and said that he was a bancun, but he was really a little nostalgic, so he couldn't help but take off Xie Muyu's hat and gently touched it on that small bald head, which made Xie Muyu's face blush, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Gao Xiu'er had to cough dry again and asked, "Husband, are we going back to Changshan Village?" ”

Changshan Village can be said to be the birthplace of Liu Ziqiu. However, now that Liu Ziqiu is the emperor, he naturally rewards the villagers very much. Today, those villagers no longer live in Changshan Village, which has also been converted into a garrison in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the Changshan Carriage and Horse Company was disbanded, and all the personnel were merged into the newly established military post system, and many people became post leaders in various places. Although Changshan Village has many memories of the past, Changshan Village can no longer be called a real Changshan Village without the villagers, so Gao Xiuer doesn't really want to go back.

In fact, Liu Ziqiu also had the same thought, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Don't go back." Let's go for a walk in Piling County. ”

Of course, he could have decreed that the people of Changshan Village should continue to live in Changshan Village and create an atmosphere of the past. But this kind of decision is too selfish, after all, it is an eternal truth that people go to higher places and water flows lower places, and even if the current generation of people in Changshan Village will still miss it, their next generation and the next two generations will still leave there after all. So what Liu Ziqiu has to do is just try to help these villagers arrange a good home, instead of imprisoning him in that small village.

Gao Xiu'er was surprised: "Husband, what are you doing in Piling County?" ”

Indeed, the most memorable places in the south of the Yangtze River are Changshan Village, Yanguan County and Yuhang County, but they rarely come to Piling County, and even the opportunity to pass by is not right.

Xie Muyu has always lived in Jiangnan, although he has never been to Biling, he has heard a little about the customs here, and he can't help but say softly: "Does the emperor want to visit Taihu Lake?" ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "No! Let's go to Yixing County. ”

Although Yixing is also on the edge of Taihu Lake, it is only a small county town, Xie Muyu didn't feel strange: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do in Yixing?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being, and you'll know when you get there." ”

……

Because there were many carriages in the procession, the speed was naturally not fast. It's just that Liu Ziqiu came out this time, his original intention was to take a look at the people's suffering, and if he walked slowly, he could find many things that could not be seen from the music, which was exactly what he wanted. Only Yu Shinan was tasked with persuading Liu Ziqiu to return to Luoyang early, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The team stopped and stopped, and it was half a month after arriving in Yixing. Liu Ziqiu did not enter Yixing County, but set up camp outside the city as he did in Xiayi, and then ordered someone to find the Yixing County Order. Yixing County Ling Zhou Chao is over fifty years old and is a relict of the Great Sui. In Yixing County, Zhou is a big surname, and according to legend, he is the famous general Zhou of the Jin Dynasty.

Zhou Chao saw the waist card shown by the imperial guard, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly came to the camp outside the city. Outside the camp, Da stunned stopped him and revealed Liu Ziqiu's identity. Zhou Xianling was taken aback, hurriedly redressed and entered the big tent.

Liu Ziqiu raised his hand and said, "Hurry up and flatten down." Zhou County Order, I called you this time because I want you to help with something. ”

Zhou Chao couldn't help but be flattered to be able to get the emperor to do things personally, and said repeatedly: "Please Your Majesty make a decree, and the ministers will never give up!" ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "It's not that serious, I just asked you to find something." However, I have a request, this time I went to Jiangnan for a private visit to Weifu, and you are not allowed to disclose the matter of my coming here to anyone, not even your wife and children! ”

Zhou Chao bowed again: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will never dare to say a word!" I wonder what Your Majesty is looking for? ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "What I ask you to look for this time is a kind of soil, this kind of soil is only available in your Yixing County, such as red, purple, and black. Clay pots fired with this clay have many fine holes. ”

Zhou Chao thought about it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has been in Yixing for many years, and it seems that he has not seen the kind of soil that His Majesty said. ”

Liu Ziqiu looked at the map and judged that this was the Yixing of the later generations, and the name of Yixing County was also similar to the pronunciation of Yixing, so it must not be wrong. Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu said again: "Yixing must have this kind of soil, but it hasn't been discovered yet. You arrange more manpower and look for it, especially in the nearby mountains, and dig more. If you can't do it, just dig deeper, I'm here waiting for your news! ”

The last words are the biggest encouragement for Zhou Chao, and he has repeatedly said that even if Yixing County is turned upside down, he must find out the kind of soil that Liu Ziqiu wants. Of course, Liu Ziqiu revealed his identity so that Zhou Chao could do his best so that he would not be deliberately perfunctory. After all, if you want to find something in the local area, you still have to rely on the local government. However, Liu Ziqiu finally told him that he must not affect the normal life of the local people, which is equivalent to giving Zhou Chao a difficult problem.

……

As soon as Zhou Chao left, Liu Ziqiu slowly paced back behind the screen. Behind the screen, only Xie Muyu, who was dressed in a long shirt, stood there, living like a handsome offspring, and she could hear what Liu Ziqiu and Zhou Chao said just now. Seeing Liu Ziqiu come in, Xie Muyu's face flushed with a hint of blush, and he was a little excited: "Your Majesty, are you looking for a purple clay pot?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to call me the emperor." Either call me brother, or call me husband like Xiu'er. ”

Xie Muyu lowered his head and called softly: "Husband." ”

In fact, she and Liu Ziqiu did not officially marry, and Liu Ziqiu did not canonize her. But since Liu Ziqiu rescued her from danger that day, she knew that she had been thinking about this scoundrel-looking guy in her heart. However, this scoundrel guy is really good to her, and he actually ran all the way to Yixing to help her find a purple clay pot, and it seems that he will stay here for a long time. You know, this scoundrel is not an ordinary person, he is today! At the moment when he heard the conversation between Liu Ziqiu and Zhou Chao, Xie Muyu completely opened his heart.

"Yu'er," Liu Ziqiu gently took Xie Muyu into his arms, "Your tea ceremony can be the first person in the world, but you still lack a suitable set of tea sets." When you find the purple sand mud for your husband, you must gather the best craftsmen to refine a set of unparalleled purple sand tea sets for you. ”

Xie Muyu was suddenly startled, and said in a low voice: "I still hope that my husband will put state affairs first, and he must not lose his mind as a plaything." ”

"Come, sit down and talk." Liu Ziqiu pointed to a couch behind the screen, and said, "Don't worry, your husband knows how to measure." The country is not my country alone, and the country's major affairs cannot be pinned on me alone. The DPRK and China have their own Mr. Wei and they are in charge, and I only need to grasp the general direction. Gangnam has a humid climate, which is suitable for growing tea. If you can find purple sand mud, it will also have great benefits for the promotion of tea ceremony, can promote the development of tea, and will also bring great wealth to the people of Jiangnan. ”

Xie Muyu hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down next to Liu Ziqiu.

At that time, Hu bed had already been introduced to the north, and many families had such furniture. The so-called Hu bed is actually quite similar to a chair, but it is simpler. Some children of the family also like to sit on this kind of bed in their own back house, but in front of outsiders, they always have to maintain a kind of heritage and must sit on the ground. And the Xie family in Jiangnan seems to have even more requirements for this kind of heritage, and they can't even see a Hu bed. However, the chairs that Liu Ziqiu ordered to build were very different from the Hu bed, and they could still maintain an elegant posture when sitting on them, and these new-style chairs could already be accepted by a family like the Xie family. Xie Muyu is also willing to sit on this chair because of rheumatism. But huddled on a sofa with Liu Ziqiu, being so close still made her feel ashamed.

Liu Ziqiu took off Xie Muyu's hat and couldn't help but sigh. For more than half a month, Xie Muyu's head was already green. And this refreshing short hair is exactly the hairstyle that Liu Ziqiu longs for, in fact, his heart is full of envy.

Xie Muyu couldn't help but panic again: "Husband, is the slave family ugly?" ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled: "Where is ugly, it's too late for me to like it." Come here, kiss one. ”

Xie Muyu didn't feel ashamed, lowered his head and said, "It wouldn't be good if Sister Xiu'er saw it." ”

Liu Ziqiu glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Xiu'er is really your sister." ”

Xie Muyu was surprised: "What do you mean, husband?" ”

"Xiu'er is your cousin, and her mother is your aunt." Liu Ziqiu began to talk about Gao Xiuer's life experience and various encounters, and mentioned that he and Gao Xiu'er lived and died together in Luoyang, and he was a little excited. At the end, Liu Ziqiu said again: "Xiu'er's experience is very bitter, don't mention it in front of her." In the future, I will be close to her. ”

Xie Muyu heard Gao Xiuer's story for the first time. In the past, she only thought that Gao Xiuer was a villager in Changshan Village. She is the daughter of a big family, and in the face of an ordinary villager, she naturally has a sense of superiority from the bottom of her bones, even if that villager becomes the queen, it is difficult to win the true respect in her heart. But after listening to this story, Xie Muyu's mind really changed. This is not because Gao Xiuer is also noble, but because Gao Xiuer and Liu Ziqiu have lived and died together. This kind of life-and-death dependence is much more touching than her act of leaving home in order to protect her innocence. After this comparison, Xie Muyu finally lowered his arrogant head and truly accepted Gao Xiu'er from the bottom of his heart.
