After the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qi Shi and Sun Shao set off for Lujiang County. Accompanying him were Cui Lin, the captain of Qishi's personal guard, and Ma Long, the captain of Lujiang Shangjia, and Li Yu also got on the boat when he left, and asked him, he said that he was going to Lujiang County to purchase books.

"The construction of our Chaisang has come to an end for the time being, and the rest is to improve the level of our school. I've inquired about Yuzhangjun's books, but it's not much. Lujiang is an outstanding person, and the north and south are connected, so I can just purchase a batch of books to come back. If you can, you can coax ...... No, hire a few teachers to come to Chaisang. ”

Since Li Yu said so, and Sun Shao also echoed it, Qi Shi naturally had no reason to object. She asked Cui Lin: "Cui Lin, do you want to bring Li Mengxi?" ”

Cui Lin's face turned red for a moment, and he said, "This boat belongs to Ah Shi, how can I decide whether he wants to get on the boat or not?" ”

"Okay, Meng Xi will go with us, and take Cui Lin around Lujiang County when the time comes."

"Ahh Ah Shi ...... "Cui Lin didn't expect Qi Shi to arrange it like this, and she was very embarrassed.

The boat traveled for half a day, and the wind and water were smooth, and they arrived at the wharf in Lujiang County. Because Sun Shao had already gone to the news, there were people waiting on the dock.

I thought it would be a guard who guarded the mansion, but I didn't expect it to be Zhu Xin and Zhu Zifan.

Qi Shi understood what it meant to be happy and angry, but his face was extremely ugly now, so much so that Sun Shao was stunned. Sun Shao said in a low voice: "Ah Shi, are you seasick?" ”

"Nope. I saw Zhu Xin. ”

Although Sun Shao didn't know what happened at that time, looking at Qishi's tone, he had already taken strict precautions against Zhu Xin in his heart.

"Ah Shi, if there is anything, you must tell me first. I will protect you from anyone. Sun Shao held Qishi's hand and said in a deep voice.

Qi Shi nodded, and also shook Sun Shao back vigorously, "Childe, when have I ever been bullied?" Rest assured. ”

Lujiang County sent the young lord of the Zhu family to greet him, and it seems that the attitude of the Jiangdong Hao clan towards Sun Shao has changed. In the past, they may have been laissez-faire, or even contemptuous, but now with Sun Shao's successive contributions, they have attached importance to Sun Shao.

"Zhu Zifan is waiting here, the weather is still cold, please get in the car and talk." After a few months, Zhu Zifan's size has grown taller again, and his appearance has become a little more mature than before. He just faced Qishi with an ordinary attitude, as if he had never threatened Qishi in the water prison.

Qishi did not follow Sun Shao and Zhu Zifan in the same car, she and Cui Lin were in the same car behind. Compared to the previous one, this car has significantly less space and less luxurious decoration.

Cui Lin closed the car door and said, "Ah Shi, aren't you angry?" It's obvious that you're in charge, why do you want Childe to sit in the first car. I look at that Zhu Gongzi, and I also despise you very much. They are still prejudiced and think that we women can't make it! ”

Qi Shi smiled: "Cui Lin, are you a little overly sensitive now?" But your feeling is very right, this era is indeed despising us women, in fact, if you think about it, women can only be attached to men, and her credit has become common to both people. This is really unfair, and we must change this situation in the future. ”

"Ah, how do you change it?"

"There are many ways to do this, such as letting women study, do business, etc., but these are all palliative. The point is that women themselves can't look down on themselves, and if they think they can't do it, then who can respect you? ”

Cui Lin didn't seem to understand, but she remembered it all in her heart. "Ah Shi, then Childe is not like this, right?"

"Well, he's not. He is one of the few men in his era who respects women. However, that was after meeting me, when my faith was shattered by reality and I was shaken. ”

Qi Shi told the truth, Sun Shao was a little machismo before, but after repeated setbacks in reality, he realized that Qi Shi's ability was actually higher than him. Generally, men will have two reactions, one is not believing that they are weaker than women, and then treating women roughly. The other is to think that they are inferior to women, and then they sink.

But Sun Shao is not in these two situations, he is learning from Qishi and trying to catch up with Qishi.

The carriage started and headed for Lujiang County. After the Jiangxia Campaign years ago, Jiangdong obtained a large number of people and materials, and it was once a wasteland from the riverside to the city. Now, some land has been reclaimed and is waiting for planting in the spring of next year.

Not only the Cao family in the north is promoting Tuntian, but also here in Jiangdong. It's just that the tuntian brings military rations, and sometimes it does not pay the cultivators enough. But now in this world, between having food to eat and starving to death, it seems that the former can only be chosen.

Kiyo gradually realizes that she has chosen a very difficult path. The road is long, so long that there is no end in sight. I used to think that it could be easily achieved with strategy and the Yellow Dragon Treasure House, but now it seems that the road is long.

It's easy to get old, and when you get the world, can you still maintain your current appearance?

When the carriage entered the Lujiang City Gate, Cui Lin directly lifted the curtains. Compared with Chaisang City, Lujiang County has a more festive atmosphere. Not only are lanterns hanging on every house on the street, but businesses everywhere are also exhibiting even more colorful lanterns.

The pedestrians who come and go are also more interesting than those in Chaisang City, and with Li Yu's encouragement, the people in Chaisang City are in a hurry to walk and go directly to the destination. And Lujiang City has not experienced war for ten years, and after winning the war a year ago, many soldiers have been rewarded, so there are more people who come out to play.

Cui Lin looked at it for a while, then sat back and said, "At first, it looked quite novel, but it was not as good as Chang'an." ”

"Of course, how many Chang'ans are there in the world?"

"Ah Shi, you haven't been to Chang'an, have you? But I think you have a lot of confidence in Chang'an! ”

Qi Shi said with a smile: "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." She had memorized it before, and now she blurted it out, which was a small plagiarism of the future poet.

Cui Lin's face was full of admiration, she had read a book and could understand the meaning of the poems. "It's the first time I've heard this kind of phrase, and it feels close to the spoken language and has a profound meaning."

Qi Shixiao's face turned red, and he quickly changed the topic, "Cui Lin, there is something I want to tell you." It's not safe in this Lujiang County, and you have to be careful everywhere you talk and do. Especially in matters related to the Zhou family and the Zhu family, you must be careful. It is not uncommon to have open guns and hidden arrows here, and the means of abduction and deception have also been done. Do you know what to do if something is urgent? ”

Cui Linjun's face was cold, he pulled out the sword, and said, "Understood!" ”
