In order to make things easier, Xie Yao changed into men's clothes and went to the Cao Gang with Chu Zhao.

It is already the first day of July, and there are still nineteen days before King Liang's birthday, and it will take seven days to arrive in the capital from Yanzhou at the earliest.

Xie Yao wanted to remind, but seeing the calm appearance of the person next to him, he stopped talking again.

Forget it, the main owner is not worried, she is worried about everything, just do her best.

Chu Zhao found an inconspicuous inn, and as soon as he stepped in, Xiao Er greeted him attentively, "Two sons, eat or stay in the hotel?" ”

"Eat ......"

Chu Zhao glanced at it, and Xie Yao stopped talking.

Chu Zhao said, "Look for the shopkeeper Zhao, and say that the prince of Chu from the capital is looking for him." ”

Xiao Er said, "Wait a minute, the two sons, the younger one will ask." ”

After waiting for a while, Xie Yao had already checked the inside and outside of this inn, the decoration of this inn was average, the passenger flow was also average, and it looked unremarkable, if it was usual, Xie Yao would definitely not have any interest, but at this moment, he was curious because Chu Zhao was standing here.

This must be an important point of contact for the Cao Gang.

Xiao Er quickly went and returned, and said with a smile, "Young Master Chu, please." ”

He made a gesture of please, as if he wasn't going to lead the way.

Chu Zhao took Xie Yao through the door of the hall in the backyard, went up the stairs on one side, and looked from the second floor, only to see a row of houses behind the courtyard, and a row of tall trees growing behind it, which seemed to hide a mystery.

Passing through the corridor on the second floor, going down the stairs, the road narrowed, Chu Zhao was in front and Xie Yao was behind, the two came to a small remote door, Chu Zhao opened the door familiarly, Xie Yao followed, and closed the door.

Behind the small door, there is another world.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the pavilions and water pavilions, the flowers and plants on both sides were clustered, and I couldn't see the end along the promenade, but in front of me was a cobblestone path, and the pink flowers she didn't know were planted on both sides of the road.

At the end of the path, inside the pavilion, a man and a woman were talking.

Hearing the movement, the woman turned around and said with a smile, "Why does Brother Chu have time to come to my little inn?"

Chu Zhao walked forward with her and replied, "Because I am on business, I am passing by." ”

When the middle-aged man next to the girl saw him, he bowed and said, "Young Master Chu." ”

He bowed slightly at Xie Yao, Xie Yao hurriedly returned the salute, and when he saw the girl looking at her, he also arched his hand.

This is the etiquette of the rivers and lakes.

The girl said, "This one looks at the eyes, and I don't know who his name is." ”

Xie Yao replied, "My surname is Xie Mingyao, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

Jiu Yang is naturally the name of the Cao Gang, and it seems that this girl is the daughter of Guo Lao's gang leader, Guo Bangyi.

Guo Lao Gang Leader only got such a daughter at the age of thirty-five, she is a daughter when she is old, and she loves Guo Wanyi very much, and this eldest lady of the Cao Gang, everyone in the world evaluates her: beautiful and intelligent, bold and generous, after Guo Lao Gang Leader is sick, she has been handling many things in the Cao Gang.

She is twenty-one years old this year, and she should have been innocent, but since Xie Yao saw her for the first time, she only felt that this woman was calm and steady, and there was a faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

Xie Yao sighed secretly, worthy of being the eldest lady of the Cao Gang!

Guo Wanyi said, "Gongzi Xie." ”

She felt that Xie Yao could come with Chu Zhao, if he was not from the government, then he would be his confidant and friend, after all, Chu Zhao didn't have many friends, so calling him a son like this is safe and polite.

Xie Yao is dressed in a man in green clothes, with a crown on his head, Xie Yao works as an errand in the Yamen, and the people he deals with on weekdays are men, and he has grown up with the two brothers of the Liu family since he was a child.

Guo Wanyi looked away.

Guo Wanyi said, "You go and get busy." ”

The middle-aged man should have retreated.

Xie Yao asked in a low voice, "My lord, should I avoid it too?"

The two of them are obviously old friends, and Xie Yao is a living person here, and he always feels that something is not appropriate.

Guo Wanyi's ears were amazing, she smiled slightly, and said, "If Gongzi Xie doesn't want to stay here, the scenery in my courtyard is good, you can walk around by yourself, and no one will stop you." ”

Xie Yao said, "That's very good, then I'll walk around." ”

Xie Yao also left.

She walked along the other side of the pavilion for a while, until the figures of the two people in the pavilion were a little blurred, then she stopped and found a random place to sit down.

Xie Yao is a very self-aware person, if she shouldn't listen, she will never stand there and make people suspicious.

I don't know if Chu Zhao and Miss Guo are possible? Maybe what the two are saying is not necessarily what you and I are talking about, just like the one in the play, the male talent and the female appearance, standing together, are matched and right, and the two have similarities, so there should be more topics.

She guessed wildly, and secretly looked, the two people in the pavilion were much closer, standing side by side, not knowing what they were talking about.

Xie Yao waited for a while, a little bored, looked around, but found that not far away, there was a lychee tree, it was summer, the fruit was abundant, bent many branches, and many had been naturally ripe and fell to the ground.

Xie Yao looked at it with a burst of pain, this is simply a tyrannical thing!

She walked over to the lychee tree, picked up the one that looked intact on the ground, and broke open the bright red peel to reveal the clear flesh.

Xie Yao was about to put it in his mouth, but he heard a voice and said, "Hey, everything on the ground is rotten, you pick the tree and eat it." ”

Xie Yao raised her head, and saw that in the corridor opposite the tree, someone was standing there, she was covered by the lychee tree, and she couldn't see clearly, and when she tilted her head, she saw that the person was also looking at her with a smile.

He was on crutches, about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in black and red, and wearing a fur hat, and it was not too hot in the summer.

Xie Yao smiled, "Old man, do you also like to eat lychees?" ”

The old man shook his head, walked with a stick, and said, "I'm old, I can't eat, I can't eat too much, it's easy to lose fire, and I can't sleep well at night." ”

He reached out and folded a large string directly.

"Hey, old man, don't ......"

The old man handed her the lychee and said, "Little girl, eat this, everything on the ground is rotten, and it is not delicious." ”

Xie Yao hurriedly said, "Old man, why did you pick it up, if someone investigates it this time, then I will be in trouble." ”

The old man said, "No, the people here are very easy-going, and there is no one who will be held accountable." ”

I picked them all, and what he said seemed to have some truth, this fruit has fallen so much, which means that no one has picked this lychee tree, so naturally no one has eaten it, she picked a few and tasted it, and it should be fine.

Xie Yao took it, sat on the ground, tasted one, and said with satisfaction, "Sweet, juicy and tender, delicious!" ”

She picked one of the largest ones and handed it to the old man, saying, "Old man, you can also taste it, just one, it's not in the way." ”

The old man took it with a smile, sat down next to her, tasted it, and sure enough, as Xie Yao said, the juice was sweet.
