When I went back, it was late at night, and there were many guests in the lobby on the first floor. They asked for food as usual and went upstairs, and Yun Xi looked around, his eyes fixed on a corner. There was a person with his back to them, as if he was drinking tea and looking at something, hidden in the midst of a full house, inconspicuous.

Scarlet followed his eyes, and also saw that the person's clothes were extraordinary, although the color was blue-gray, but for her, who often wore gorgeous clothes, from the softness of the clothing, she knew that it was not fake satin, but real silk, and it was not ordinary silk, it was ice silk brocade.

The two of them didn't show their faces, they still read the book at the counter, and then held hands, and went upstairs like ordinary intimate men and women, passing by the stairs and glancing again. When he went upstairs, Scarlet whispered: "The person on the corner of the stairs just now, dressed in Huajin, is expected to be from the official gate, but he has a steward card on his body, which is really weird." ”

Yun Xi smiled: "You can see it too, I glanced at it when I passed by, and the person was looking at the account book." He is the boss here, a slave among officials, who dares to open such a big deal here, and he is dressed in brocade clothes, and he is very arrogant! No wonder a pot of tea dares to offer more than two taels, and there is an official to protect him! ”

The two of them spoke softly, but their expressions seemed to be laughing and grinding until they entered the house. Yun Xi said to Pang Xin in a blink of an eye: "You let Chong'an stare at the one downstairs." ”

Scarlet listened to this, and suddenly reached out and pulled the hem of Yunxi's clothes: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." Yun Xi stroked her hand, "Tomorrow morning, I will go out of the city first by taking a boat cruise with that girl, and I will talk about it when I come back." The eighth day of the first month was launched, and the pioneer camp arrived in the past two days. ”

Scarlet nodded and said softly: "If he is from the high-ranking official's family, he must be heavily guarded." Although Pang Xin's subordinates are masters, after all, they are unfamiliar with the environment, and it is difficult to keep them complete. ”

Yun Xi smiled slightly, only she could understand her thoughts in this regard. He just wanted to probe the other party's portal, and he didn't plan to scan the evidence right now. Having this kind of harvest when he first arrived in Pingzhou is not a good thing for him, it will only make his heart ache.

They came by water instead of by land, just to avoid the checkpoints. Although there is a pass in hand, it can be less than one layer. What Scarlet thought about was exactly what he thought, although his subordinates were all elites, but he couldn't hide that figure, and he was born in a family and walked more high-spirited than others. So just look at where he belongs from a distance, and it's not too late to find out more.

What Yun Xi cares about is not that the official slaves are dressed in gorgeous clothes and open luxury shops in the downtown area, but from this slave and the official car trampling rampantly, the prices here are high, and the people's livelihood must be more difficult than Jiangdu, which shows that the officials here are in a state of darkness. If he came with a show, he would not be able to see these things at all, but let them be easily deceived in the past.

That night, two of Pang Xin's subordinates, Zheng Huai and Guo Chong'an, came back separately and said that the carriage had finally driven into Pingzhou Taishou Mansion. And the man in the brocade robe turned a few streets, and finally entered a garden, with no plaque outside, and I don't know which one it is.

Scarlet had seen the map of Pingzhou in advance, and she prepared a map showing the various prefectures in Pingzhou and the location of the wealthy industries in Pingzhou. She was so prepared at that time because she was afraid that there would be a need, and the government would be the greatest protection for them at that time, and now, this thing is just in use.

Guo Chong'an has the nickname of the old horse, because he has a specialty, and he can remember it clearly after walking once. He sketched out a rough map from memory, and a pair prepared by Scarlet Heart in advance, showing that the garden was one of the properties of the famous and wealthy families in Pingzhou. This rich man's surname is Chen, he is a big landowner in Pingzhou, his family has 100 hectares of fertile land, and he also runs a pawnshop in Pingzhou. And this inn is also one of the properties recorded in his name.

These details were connected by clouds, and his face became darker. It may be difficult for others to understand and fail to see the key points from these details. But Scarlet can understand that her family is a businessman, and the inextricable relationship between officials and businessmen is not clear and inextricably linked, and she understands it best. Another point is that she went deep into the palace and knew the mystery. Of course, it is also inseparable from her understanding of some of Yun Xi's ideas, maybe sometimes, she can't understand Yun Xi's heart, but many times, they do have a heart.

Take the map as an example, Yun Xi was very busy before traveling, because he had to patrol around and accompany the Queen Mother. He has very little time to arrange his micro-clothes, and Wang Chenghai can think about the details of his life for him, but Wang Chenghai is not as meticulous as his scarlet heart. Yun Xi had thought about it before, but he didn't tell him, he estimated that Scarlet would do it, and sure enough, Scarlet thought of it.

That night, both of them were a little sleepy. Seeing that he couldn't sleep, he couldn't help but persuade softly: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the world is so big, it is difficult to keep a villain who makes profits." The emperor sits on the family and the country, and the only one who benefits the people is the Ming monarch. It is useless that these scum are greedy and disturb the emperor's southward movement. ”

Yun Xi glanced at her and whispered, "You don't have to worry, I won't be tired of ten, so I doubt the loyalty of the Le Zheng family." ”

Both of them were in the same sentence, and their eyes met for a while. He stretched out his hand to caress her face: "You can understand me, but you can't understand my heart." ”

Seeing that his two self-proclaimed names were being used at the same time, for a while, for some reason, his heart began to beat wildly again. He turned sideways and hugged her over: "Your heart is beating so fast, what are you afraid of?" ”

Scarlet eyes flickered, scared? Or she was really afraid, she couldn't tell what she was afraid of. He got closer and closer, and his lips almost touched her forehead: "If you don't want to sleep, just do something serious." He chuckled suddenly, his body restless, and hugged him tighter, his lips moving over her face, making her tremble slightly.

Early the next morning, Pang Xin had already hired the carriage and horses. They arrived in Pingzhou at noon on the fifth day of the first month, slept for a while and went shopping at night, but when they went back, they let Yunxi toss together, making the whole person feel like they were about to fall apart.

I slept very deeply, until there was a laugh in my ears, and the chirping was like a finch jumping on the tip of the branch, and then I woke up with my eyes open. When he woke up, he was startled, and his body swayed, and he clearly got into the carriage, and when did he get it completely unconscious. Yun Xi was sitting next to her, joking and chatting with the two children opposite.

The girl was the same as last night, still dressed like that, with her hair combed in two buns, her forehead bangs finely broken, and her eyebrows and smiles. Next to him was a boy, I think it was the brother she had spoken about yesterday. Eight or nine years old, her eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to her, a gray cloth gown, with a few patches between her elbows, but also clean. The boy grew up late, sat down beside the girl, a big chunk shorter, and was not as eloquent as the girl, and looked a little restrained, but he kept smiling. Unexpectedly, they really came, and Yun Xi actually brought the two of them into the car.

The girl's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Scarlet opened her eyes, she smiled softly and said, "Grandma is awake." ”

Scarlet Heart is very embarrassed, she has never slept so aggressively in front of people. I secretly hated myself for being sluggish for a while, no matter how tired I was, I couldn't be unconscious.

Unfortunately, the child didn't have so many ideas, and the little girl said with envy: "Uncle is really good to grandma, grandma is very blessed." ”

Scarlet Heart's face is even redder, this little girl is doing small business outside all day long, and her mouth is really like a finch, and she will say good things when she meets people. Yun Xi smiled when she heard this, and looked back at Scarlet Heart: "Lian Hua'er was afraid that we would talk back yesterday, so she called her younger brother over, and the two of them actually squatted outside all night." If you don't go with her now, it's really ours. ”

Lotus? It's tacky to listen to this name, but in order to make a living, small families usually call it a random name. Scarlet quietly looked down, she was wrapped in a thin sheet, and through the gap, she saw that the clothes were all on, and she breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time had a little indescribable taste. Yun Xi reached out and dragged her up, and her body was slightly wrong to block her, so that she could tidy up her hair and clothes. He looked as usual, and continued to hang out with the two children. I really don't know that he can talk and laugh with a child. But this is just right, the little girl is busy talking to Yun Xi, and the scarlet heart makes a tight block, which also relieves her sleepiness. Scarlet shrank behind him, and listened to the little girl blowing how good the East River was for a while.

After chatting for a while, I realized it. It turns out that this girl's surname is Lian, so she is called Lianhua, and her younger brother is called Lian Peng. For a while, I thought that this family was also interesting, and the lotus lotus, one blossom and one fruit, was really worthy of its name. My sister is 12 years old and my younger brother is 10 years old. However, the southerners are delicate and appear to be younger than they are. The family lives in Lianjiazhuang in Donghewan, where the river bay is connected to the tributaries of the Huai River, and there are rhombic flowers. Every family digs ponds to raise fish, picks lings, and sometimes comes out to do something else on the occasion of festivals.

Scarlet listened to the surprise, she had seen the map, there are large paddy fields in Donghe Bay, and the osmanthus balls produced here are famous rice in the country, why don't you farm and raise fish? There is Qingyang Lake in this area, and there is the Huai River, and there are special fishing villages and towns on both sides.

Although Scarlet Heart thought in her heart, she didn't say anything, and listened to them chatting quietly. Hearing Yun Xi praise her for her good fan face, Lianhua replied that her father was a student, and he failed to pass the exam for many years, but he couldn't support his wife and children, so he gave up his books and worked as a farmer. Sometimes, when she was free, her mother would make up some mat fans, and he would paint them, and the price would go up. For a while, I may have the idea that I am useless and a scholar, and I teach my children to see that they are mixed in the wilderness, and it doesn't matter if they are illiterate or not.

Yun Xi listened to her keep talking, and looked back at Scarlet Heart with a smile for a while: "When will you also give me a pair of children, it will be interesting for such a family to come out." ”

Scarlet Xin's face was as red as blood when he heard this, and he shrunk his feet and covered his skirt, and the whole person was about to shrink behind him. Before she could speak, Lianhua had already taken it quickly: "Grandma is blessed, and she will have a hundred children and grandchildren in the future." ”

Scarlet really can't wait to plug the girl's mouth with steamed buns, and even the flowers over there are chattering: "Uncle was born very handsome, and the child will be good-looking in the future." ”

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand back casually, and was holding her feet through her skirt: "My lady is not in good health, I don't want a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, I just want to have a son and a half daughter, and it is not in vain that I look forward to it." ”

Scarlet heart was shocked when she heard it, Mrs. Ninghua gave birth to a daughter for him last year, and now Jun Concubine Ye is already pregnant, why do you want her? She has a cold deficiency disease, and even she herself is disheartened, so what is there to look forward to?

Yun Xi suddenly turned her face to look at her expression, her eyes were unpredictable, and her smile was deep: "The lady works hard at home, and it is difficult to comfort her mind when she comes out. Now that I think about it, it looks like a lady is talking to people. ”

Scarlet Heart tightened when she heard this, of course she understood what it meant. On the boat that day, she used Zuo Hanqing's incident to dissect her own opinions with him. At that time, she also admitted that she was very envious when she saw that the sisters got along well with him. But envy is envy, and she also confesses her heart to him. Now he doesn't care about anything else, just stabbing her for this matter, but he is still looking for this opportunity, and there are two and a half children opposite.

Thinking about it these days, she has gone according to his wishes, and her face has been lost countless times, so that's it. Now I know that she is difficult to give birth to, and I want to point her sore spots, but I say these things in front of the child. He is the emperor, so he plays with her casually. also blamed himself for being burdened by fame, and he wanted to go home to the scenery, so he endured everything. But Rao is like this, she also added pain in her heart, and she slept dead and ugly just now, so she became more and more annoyed and angry. But no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to yell at him, but lowered her head and muttered very quietly: "Where dare to ridicule you, you can't get tired of living!" ”

Yun Xi's eyebrows rose suddenly, but there was a smile in his eyes. He never expected that Scarlet would dare to break his thoughts, and sometimes she would argue with him based on scriptures on weekdays, and the words she said were extremely unpleasant, but they were usually big truths. Now there is no big reason, it's like making a small child, obviously not happy with his words, and embarrassed, so he can only shrink his head and move his lips. Her voice was so low that he couldn't hear it even if he was close. But he could guess anything, so he simply turned around and pinched her completely: "You are reasonable, am I wrong?" ”

As soon as Scarlet saw him start to move his hands and feet again, he twisted his face and reached out to push him for a while, and said very quietly: "Don't mind, it hurts." ”

As he spoke, his face was already burned.

Two little people on the opposite side, four big eyes stared at them without blinking. Suddenly, Lian Peng poked Lianhua on the side: "Sister, they are like our father." ”

Lianhua glared: ", uncle and grandma are rich and noble!" ”

Lian Peng shrank his neck, and was glared back by his sister and was speechless. Here Yun Xi and Scarlet were stunned. Scarlet was so ashamed that she had nowhere to hide, so she shrank behind Yun Xi's back, Yun Xi's hand pressed her feet, turned back to Lian Hua and smiled: "You girl, how can you open your mouth to say such nonsense?" ”

Lian Hua smiled and quietly pinched her brother, still with a flattering smile on her face: "The little father and mother are all countrymen, where can they compare to the uncle and grandmother?" ”

"Where did you learn this?" Yun Xi sighed, this time, the car has already arrived at the east gate. Today is already the sixth day of the first month, and the pioneer battalion and some advance officials are estimated to have arrived in Pingzhou in advance, so when they go out of the city, they are very strict, that is, there is a pass order, and the guards still lift the curtain to take a look, and see that there are big and small, men and women, so they don't say anything. And the car is also a common track in the city. They hired two cars, and they didn't ask for a driver, Pang Xin drove this one, and followed Zheng Huai to drive another car loaded with things. Scarlet was worried about what they turned over, but Wang Chenghai pulled them and said something, and estimated that he had ordered some silver, which took a while, and then slowly set off.

Lian Hua looked outside, and waited for the car to leave before saying, "Uncle sounds like a northerner with an accent, did you come to see the emperor?" ”

Yun Xi knew that she was a child, and no matter how early she came out to make a living, she couldn't understand too much, so she smiled: "You heard it accurately, I heard that the emperor was touring the south and wanted to come over to see the battle." ”

"The little ones want to see it too, but the city will be closed tonight, so they won't be allowed in." Lian Hua rubbed her hands, "Yesterday, my mother said, let the small one sell the fan and go back quickly, so as to save the soldiers from bombing and fine." But I was really reluctant to make a big deal, so I stayed one more night. ”

"Why? The emperor patrols the emperor, you live yours, and you don't let people live? Yun Xi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he said softly.

"I think we are embarrassed by Pingzhou." Lian Peng sat still, suddenly interjected, and immediately looked at his sister after speaking, and saw that she didn't roll her eyes at him, and laughed twice for a while.

"What do you mean?" Yun Xi listened to the question, and his scarlet heart was a little stunned for a while.

"I posted a notice a few days ago, but now it's all unveiled." Lian Hua said, and Lian Peng stabbed her: "Sister, my mother won't let me talk about this, and I will be locked up if I say too much." ”

"Uncle asked, do you still want fruit?" Lian Hua glared at him, looked at Yun Xi for a while, and suddenly came over and said, "Uncle, if the little one is right, Uncle will give him a reward, right?" Suddenly, he was silenced again, and looked him up and down, "Is the uncle an official?" ”

Scarlet couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, in the end, it was from a small family, Rao was clever and limited, and the family didn't teach him ideas. Yun Xi smiled: "Naturally reward, won't you go to fish and pick water chestnuts for a while?" If you speak well on the road, how about I give ten taels of silver? ”

"Really!" At the same time, the eyes of the two living treasures showed the appearance of ingots, and their eyes were straight. After a while, Lianhua stammered and confirmed, "No, it's not exciting." ”

"I'm an adult, how can I deceive a child?" Yun Xi smiled, "Let's talk about it first, what do you mean to be embarrassed by Pingzhou?" ”

"You think, the emperor is here, if you see how ugly it is for the poor people in Pingzhou. If the emperor is not happy, Pingzhou will be unlucky. Lianhua said, "A few days ago, a notice was issued, and those who live in the city are not allowed to go out these days." The official said that the street was too chaotic, and if you wanted to do small business and set up a stall these days, you had to go to the street designated by the government to manage it in a unified manner. But the stall fee is so expensive, if you don't rent it, you won't be allowed to come out, and you can save it from being ashamed! ”

"It's only more than 100 miles away from Jiangdu, have you ever been to Jiangdu? Isn't that the case? Yun Xi asked suddenly.

"Jiangdu is under the control of the province, but Pingzhou is not. It seems to be a ...... of what it is" Lian Hua scratched her head, a little unclear, and continued, "Anyway, this place is different from Jiangdu, and the little one has never been to Jiangdu." But I heard from the people in the village that things over there are very cheap. ”

"When did you hear it?"

"It's always been very cheap, and some people in the village have been to it and said that things are very cheap."

"Why is it so expensive here?"

"If you want to do business upside down, it will be expensive, you will need money on the road, and you will need money to cross the checkpoint, and it will be expensive when you add up."

After listening to it, I already understood it in my heart. Pingzhou is a directly subordinate state, which is directly under the government and does not belong to any province in Huaidong and Huainan. But it is located in the south, far away from the capital, and here is far away from the emperor by the mountain, and the provincial governors can't control here, as if they are on their own, and the local officials have become the emperor of the soil. The road is set up at checkpoints and fees are charged, which leads to high prices and high prices. But I can't figure it out a little, why don't you put the paddy fields and dig ponds to raise fish? The rice fields here are concentrated, and the amount of rice supplied to the royal family every year is huge, and there is never a shortage, so it stands to reason that at least the price of rice will not be very expensive, but everything is expensive here, and some do not make sense.

She was thinking about it, but Yun Xi had already asked: "The rice here is very good, and the osmanthus balls are only here, how can it be very expensive?" ”

"The good fields are all owned by the Chen family, and they have to be rented in 30%. Where can I afford it? Lian Hua said, "In our village, only ten families can afford to rent and plant, and the others are raising fish in the bay." Originally, no one was in charge of Wanzi here, but now we have to pay taxes to see us raise fish. ”

Yun Xi squinted, the Chen family, and the previous branches were all connected, he understood everything! Thirty percent rent, very good! The imperial court clearly ordered that the rent in various places should not exceed fifteen taxes, and he actually offered thirty percent!

"Uncle, if you touch my mother for a while, don't say it's small." Lianhua stuck out her tongue.

"No, it won't." Yun Xi smiled. He glanced back at Scarlet Heart, who tugged at the hem of his shirt and gave him a small reassuring smile. Although his face was as usual at this time, Scarlet knew that he was about to explode!

The car walked slowly, and saw that the green and lush area could not be seen, and the area of Huaidong and Huainan had a very high rice yield in recent years. At this time, the rice has been tasseled, and some of them have bloomed, and they are fragrant. Since the Changlong Dynasty, Jintai attaches great importance to water conservancy, and the imperial court encloses the lake and cultivates fields, and the east and west corners of Qingyang Lake have large fields. In some hilly places, there are also kapok and tea leaves, which are full of gloom and full of comfort.

Pang Xin followed the direction of Lianhua and passed this rice field and a Zhuangzi. Listening to Lianhua, this is Chenjiazhuang, and the good fields in this area are all Chenjiazhuang. The owner also has several pawnshops in Pingzhou, and he is a wealthy gentleman in Pingzhou. Yun Xi had heard about this before. After Chenjiazhuang, after a while, it is the place where the Huai River and the southeast corner of Qingyang Lake are connected. People here are called Dongwanzi, the surrounding begins to rise and fall, there are hills and hills, the fields are also open to the east and the west, there are many ponds in the basin and depression, I think this is the area of Lianjiazhuang. Although there is no large area of fertile land here, the scenery is good, the so-called bay is a zigzag ditch, one side is a mountain bag, the other side of the gentle land has a field, there are also fields on the mountain bag, there are a family in between. The ground became more and more difficult to walk, and the carriage moved very slowly.

"The small home is almost here, and there is a small family pond with such a big herring at the bottom. After a while, I asked my friend to take out one for the uncle to eat wine. Lianhua said while comparing the paintings, "I will go to the field to touch the snails in the small time, and my mother will fry them so fragrantly!" Lianhua suddenly bent her eyes again, and said with a smile, "Pingzhou will be closed tonight, so it's better not to go back." Stay in a small home, right? It's cheap. ”

Scarlet stared at her, this little girl's mind to do business is really not ordinary, she got them into such a poor ravine, and now she even wants to buy and sell the inn.

"What are the sheds doing here?" Yun Xi saw that everything was fresh, and for a while pointed to the clusters of small grass huts and asked, "There are also people living here?" ”

"Watching the pond is used, there are naughty children who hate it. It's okay to touch the fish, go through the pond, and put all the fish in their house. So get this all now! Lianhua said, and for a while her butt left her seat and leaned over here.

"You've done it too, haven't you?" Yun Xi chuckled and quipped.

"The little ones don't do that." Lian Hua's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, "Chenjiazhuang keeps the good land, raises crabs in the field, refuses to release big fish from the estuary, and stops outside our village, and the fish collectors don't come here." It's not reconciled like this, they made it. This mountain used to be the ditch in the east corner of Qingyang Lake, and the scenery was good. The North doesn't see that. ”

Scarlet listened silently, Chenjiazhuang occupies fertile land, and fish and crabs must be a hundred times stronger than here. Although there are mountains and rivers here, Mingxiu is very. But looking at the house, I already know that I don't know how much poorer than the Zhuangzi just now.

For a time, there were traces of people in the river, and I saw a woman stepping on a black red basin with her feet in her hand, holding a long artemisia in her hand, and very skillfully drilling in the curved narrowness. Dense wild water chestnuts grew in the river, and from time to time she picked up the whole plant, turned out the red water chestnut and threw it into the pot. After a while, the basin has been covered with a layer.

She has a lotus leaf on her head as a hat, a handful of black hair behind her, and her slender figure looks extremely handsome. Seeing the car on the shore for a while, even Hua saw her, and poked her head out and shouted: "Sister Jinzi, have you seen my mother?" ”

The woman who was called gold raised her head and waved her hand: "I didn't see the eldest lady coming." Flowers, into the city again? ”

"Yes, it's a big deal!" Scarlet couldn't see her face, but she was quite proud when she heard her voice, and she patted the carved car window with one hand to show it to others, "Tell her, I'll take my brother back later." ”

"Got it!" And the woman said, and the man had gone away with the water.

Yun Xi looked at the scene with a surprised face, and suddenly said, "You said to take me to fish, but this river can't swing a boat." "It's a ditch at all, and it's very narrow, and it's full of aquatic plants, where can you hold up a boat. Besides, looking at the way it looks here, it doesn't look like someone can afford to hold up a boat.

"If you go any further, you'll be able to swing the boat." Lian Hua's face was flushed, afraid that Yun Xi would say that she was a fool, so her voice was not so firm for a while, and she peeked at Yun Xi, "I can really afford it." ”

"What's going on with this?" Yun Xi watched the man wander away, and was itchy for a while, "I'm tired of sitting on the boat, how about you teach me how to fiddle with this pot?" ”

"Good. I have a big pot at home, and two people can afford it! When Lianhua heard this, she immediately came to the momentum, and began to blow again, raising her voice and saying, "Uncle who is driving the car, stop, it's here." ”

As soon as Scarlet Xin got out of the car, the fragrance on her face made her feel refreshed. The river ditch in front of me meanders, fading into the greenery. Opposite the green hills, there are fish ponds on the side, and there are several houses scattered in the hills and bags in the distance. From time to time, there are villagers wearing hats and trousers, seeing that there are carriages and horses, all of them are looking at them from a distance, and they are not close to the front, until they see Lianhua, they hang their heads and are busy, thinking that it is not the first time that she has done such a business.

"This is my family's pond, you can fish or touch it for a while, and it's all yours if you get it." Lianhua got out of the car, even took off her shoes, pinned them to her waist, and led them to the pond barefoot, so that they could see the fish inside: "Look, there are fish, big fish, don't fool people!" ”

Lian Peng jumped down, a head shorter than Lian Hua, and pulled up his pants twice, looking like he would jump down just as Yunxi said to touch it!

The fish pond is not very big, more than a dozen zhang square, a small grass shed is built on the side, and a broken lantern is picked on it. There was also a very small boat by the pond. After a while, Wang Chenghai came over with one foot deeper, looked around and whispered, "Childe, where is this car?" ”

"Let's go inside, just stop at the edge of the pond, right?" Yun Xi pointed to the small shed, "Lianhua, how about you rent this shed to me?" I'll even help you see the pond at night. ”

"What? How dare this? Lianhua looked at the small shed, stretched out her hand and pointed forward, "My house is in front of me, there is an empty house, it's better than here!" The frogs are loud at night, and I can't sleep. ”

When Scarlet looked at this, his face turned half green first. Not to mention that the shed is small, there is not even a door, and a straw mat is broken. And it's black and mushy, I don't know how much it's stained. Let's not talk about dirty or not, the insects can't stand it, plus when you get close to the village, the temperature is lower than in the city, and after a night, half of the people will die first!

"Master, it's just a matter of playing here, why don't you go back at night? There is a pass, and you can't even let in with an order, right? Scarlet held back for a long time, pulled his shirt and whispered.

Yun Xi smiled back, and said to Lian Hua with a scarlet heart: "You can also get a big pot to teach me how to row first, and you leave the shed to me and don't care." If you lose it, I'll pay for it! As he spoke, he gave Wang Chenghai a look, and walked to the river with his scarlet heart, "Let's go around first, not far away!" ”

The scarlet heart let Yun Xi pull it, the branches and grass here are dense, her skirt is long and the sleeves are wide, and it is very inconvenient to hook and pull. As soon as Lian Hua raised his head, Lian Peng immediately came over to lead the way, and had a great insight to step on the grass in front of him. Pang Xinling's subordinates helped Wang Chenghai get carriages and horses, and he kept up with them far away. Seeing that there is no division between the fields and farms here, the farmers are scattered, and there are people coming and going from time to time. When I saw them, I smiled kindly, and the more I walked, the narrower the road, and some of them dug the pond only a path away from the ditch, and there was no way for a car to come here.

They walked for a while, and a river came out of their sight, meeting the ditch before them. It's said that it's a river, but in fact, it's not a little wider. I can't see the bridge from side to side, and I guess it's the deepest and it's sad to go waist. When Scarlet Heart approached, a man was about to go ashore, but he was naked, with his shirt and pants and shoes on his head. When Scarlet saw it, he was so frightened that he whispered in his throat and shrank his head behind Yunxi.

Yun Xi was also slightly stunned at first, the man looked up for a while, saw Lian Peng, and then looked, there were several people looking this way, and they were also a little embarrassed, busy holding their shirts and pants to block, slightly turned sideways and moved to the deep grass, and shouted in his mouth: "Oh, stinky friends, go to the silver when you die, bring people here!" ”

Lian Peng jumped to his feet and shouted: "I am bare-chested, I won't be naked, I will scare your grandmother, my sister will beat you to death!" ”

Yun Xi suddenly turned her head to look at Scarlet Heart, and when she saw her frightened look, she couldn't help but smile on her lips. After all, he has excellent cultivation and is unwilling to laugh at people in front of him, so that smile does not unfold until he is scarlet. He stroked her eyebrows and whispered: "Let's follow the customs, we scared him!" ”

After a while the man came out, and ran away, his face flushed. The scarlet heart bowed his head and didn't dare to look at half a minute, his heart was beating wildly, and he was even more ashamed. In fact, she didn't see anything, but Yun Xi's explanation made her feel a little calmer, indeed, they scared him. People here are poorer, and they are always afraid of trampling their clothes, so the transition is always like this.

After a while, Lianhua ran with a large pot on top of it, and there was a woman who came with it. At the age of thirty-four or five, he wore a coarse cloth shirt, his hair was tied with a blue and white cloth belt, and an apron was tied around his waist, and he kept rubbing his hands against the apron as he walked. The woman was born petite, and her facial features were also delicate, and when she saw them from a distance, she was already grinning and smiling: "Good uncle and grandma!" Her voice was slightly hoarse, with a strong southern accent, "It's fun here, there is a field behind you, come back and touch the snails to eat." Late to live here, there is a big house, bright and clean. ”

"Excuse me, we're just looking at the scenery. I have already told Lianhua just now, and I will live in the shed of your house to see the pond. Yun Xi smiled slightly and returned the salute, although Lian Hua did not introduce it, but when she saw this posture, eighty percent of it was her mother.

When the woman saw him, her eyes lit up, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Uncle is so handsome." ”

Seeing her rudeness, Scarlet frowned slightly. When the woman saw the scarlet expression, she hurriedly added: "Grandma is also a handsome person." ”

Scarlet was speechless, but Yun Xi smiled: "The insider's face is thin-skinned, and he laughs." ”

The woman smiled and waved her hand, and pointed to the pot of Lianhua: "This thing is not something that can be held casually, uncle will be careful in a while." Saying that, he called Lian Peng again, "Look at it carefully for a while, don't just play around." ”

Scarlet took a look at this thing, and a basin was thrown in the ditch for a while. Look at people are comfortable, but you can play anywhere. kept pulling the hem of Yunxi's clothes, trying to persuade him, but seeing that he was in high spirits, and Pang Xin on the side didn't say a word at all, she didn't know how to persuade him.

The edge of this winding ditch was full of people at this time, giggling and jogging, which was even more lively than watching a big show. No, these people are simply in the play, and the people who follow the actors share joy and sorrow, shouting and sighing for a while, and shouting and reminding for a while. And the one who acts...... It's Yunxi and Scarlet Heart!

Yun Xi was already sweating profusely, her sleeves were rolled up to the crook of her elbows, she was standing in the basin with her bare feet and trouser legs, swaying and twisting her waist, the long pole in her hand was messy from side to side, dancing like a big knife on the stage, waving left and right for a while, shaking extremely scary. Scarlet sat in a basin, it was shameful enough to sit in such a basin, and what was even more terrifying was that the shore was full of bystanders. Scarlet felt that this was a catastrophe at all, and this was no longer a shame that could be described.

At first, it was just a matter of passing by and felt fresh, and then I began to call friends to come over and see, and for a while, men and women were crowded. Lian Hua held a small black pot in front of him to guide, and Lian Peng was immersed in the water, so he showed his little head behind them to protect and push the pot. In fact, there are no two people in this pot, but Lianhua only wants to satisfy customers, and he is to let his younger brother push it behind.

Not only them, but Wang Chenghai has become a mud monkey, rolling all over the mud, dragging behind him. The culprit is him! At first, not so many people watched, but then he had to come down to help, but after a while, the grass in the ditch became entangled, and he began to cry and wail, and there were water ghosts dragging him in the straight! was so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits of the scarlet heart were scattered, attracting a group of onlookers, and Yun Xi laughed so much that he couldn't wait to knock him to death with a pole!

People are like that, when you break through the final bottom line, you are also a little fearless. At the beginning of the scarlet heart, I really felt that I couldn't bear the pain, not only my face was like fire, but it was simply heartbreaking. Where has she ever been so instructed, let alone any face, it just made her completely collapse!

However, when this psychological vigilance was completely destroyed, when people began to change from watching the excitement to enthusiastically instructing, when Yunxi made small progress, and people shouted "so good", Scarlet Heart also began to focus on this game, because she no longer had any face to keep, and she no longer needed to have any reserve.

She also slowly let go of her hands and feet, trying not to make obstacles for him anymore, and when she stretched her body and slowly swayed with the movement of the basin, Yunxi gradually mastered the trick.

So, when she followed Lian Peng's instructions, she succeeded in fishing for a clump of turquoise, pulled them up with great force, and successfully found the red water chestnut from the roots. She was filled with a sense of joy, and she couldn't wait to pull them down, ignoring the muddy water on her hands, and cried out loudly: "There you have it, you have found one!" ”

Everyone on the shore should be in harmony: "There you have it!" Yun Xi wiped the sweat all over his head, and looked down at the ecstasy in Scarlet Heart's eyes, it was really ecstasy. Even if she promised to let her come with Nan, she didn't have such obvious ecstasy in her eyes!

To be honest, he was laughed at a lot just now, and even he was a little anxious. I don't know what these villagers are looking at, is it so ridiculous? Lianhua doesn't often bring outsiders here to play, they should see more in this scene. He came over to look at them, which made him even more nervous.

At one point, the whole person was nested in the basin, as if he would be pumped at any time, and his face was terrifyingly pale. But she relieved, and he knew that she was not cornered and helpless, which was different from before. She was rushing through! Although the process may have been a catastrophe for her, her will was tested the most. This is nothing to others, but for her, it is the biggest test, more important than facing life and death!

So at this moment, she has an amazing beauty. Her innocence of being detained for 20 years, at this moment, broke out of the cocoon into a butterfly!
