Xie Yu was afraid that Pei Heng would notice her abnormality, so she deliberately asked, "What did the adults say?" ”

Pei Heng really shook his head, and then changed the conversation and asked, "What about you Master Fu?" ”

"The little one let the adults and the lady go in to rest, why did Master Pei come?"

"I remembered that you first said that the food in Kangping County is a must, and I want to try it while I am in Kangping County."

Xie Yu hurriedly said: "Master Pei wait for a while, the little one will send the books to the study room for us adults, and I will personally introduce them to you one by one." ”

She knew that Pei Heng not only had a good memory, but was also extremely cautious. If she shirked it, what if she put small shoes on Master Fu.

So she sent Master Fu's books to the study non-stop, and then changed into clean clothes and came to report to Pei Heng.

Pei Heng also changed into civilian clothes, and the two walked side by side on the street.

Xie Yu introduced Pei Heng one by one all the way, from folk customs to market gossip.

Passing by a tea stall, I heard Pei Heng ask, "How did you know that I was a court inspector that day?" ”

Xie Yu's mouth was like a river, and she talked endlessly, but she never thought that Pei Heng would ask her coldly.

She reacted when she saw the tea stall, and said very doggedly: "Master Pei, Long Zhang, Fengzi, you can know at a glance that it is not something in the pool." ”

After getting along with Xie Yu for a long time, Pei Heng gradually knew Xie Yu's temperament.

On weekdays, he is safe and careful, but he is not in a proper shape other than that, seeing that Fu Lin is very important to him, I don't know if he relied on these to get Fu Lin's love in the past.

After thinking about it, he remembered Xie Yu's words of repaying his kindness with him, and he was afraid that he was extremely flattering to himself because of this.

It was he who tapped the handle of the fan on her head and sneered, "Slippery head!" ”

Since Pei Heng said that the imperial court order is coming soon, then Master Fu's promotion is a certainty. She remembered the vacancy in the Taiyuan prefect, but she didn't dare to ask openly, so she only knocked on the side and asked: "I heard that the official performance of Taiyuan Mansion and Lord Zhou has always been good, and now Lord Zhao of the prefect has moved to Yangzhou to be the prefect, presumably Lord Zhou will be promoted to the next level." ”

After that, she added a few more words, seemingly thinking about Master Fu's official career: "Our family rarely interacts with Taiyuan officialdom, and Master Pei is from Taiyuan Mansion, I don't know if I think Lord Zhou can get along well." ”

Pei Heng heard Xie Yu's extraneous meaning.

"Whether Zhou Chengyan is good or not, don't you know if your family goes to Taiyuan Mansion."

Xie Yu heard her avoid talking about the position of prefect, and she couldn't figure out who this official position was going to be for a while, so she had to follow the flattery: "What Master Pei said is very true. ”

She knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to pry any news from Pei Heng's mouth, so she took a long breath and followed his steps, and took out a pack of still hot baked cakes from her arms and presented them, "Master Pei taste this baked cake, which is made on the stove of our county government." The stove is from Xiyang County, and this hanging oven bakes cakes are authentic. ”

Pei Heng glanced at the baked cake handed to him, and saw that it was golden and crispy, and it was carefully wrapped in oiled paper, which should be quite clean. So he reached out and took a piece, and slowly and methodically broke it with his hands and ate it.

This cake looked good, but I didn't think it tasted good.

Pei Heng ate a few more bites and said: "The Qin and Jin areas have always been very good at pasta, this cake is crispy but not burnt, and the county government stove is not bad. ”

"This is natural, the stove was originally used in my hometown of Xiyang County to make food for generations. In the early years, the only son of the head of the family sold the flowers to Kangping County, and the Zaotou family followed all the way here, and they couldn't even get the money for the lawsuit. The lady knew about this, and followed the adults to do their best to get the only son of the stove family back. I knew that the county government was still cooked by my wife herself, and the stove family stayed in Kangping County in order to repay the favor. ”

"First or Mrs. Fu cooking by herself?" Pei Heng asked.

Xie Yu nodded, "Kangping County is not a rich place, the adults pay five stones per month, if there is a disaster year, Mrs. will also give good porridge, so most of the county officials are adults and Mrs. themselves." ”

There are indeed not many people to serve in the yali of Kangping County, and Pei Heng is noncommittal.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Although Kangping County is not as good as the government, if Fu Lin is courageous, the income next to him is not known to be higher than the monthly income of the imperial court.

Acting so honestly, Pei Heng only thought of the owner of the idle seal of "Yan Wenzhai".

He stuffed the last piece of baked cake in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it, and Xie Yu took out a sweat towel from his sleeve with great insight and handed it over.

Pei Heng lowered his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a few green bamboo embroidery patterns, and he frowned slightly and asked Xie Yu, "Are you still using this sweat towel?" ”

Xie Yu said as a matter of course: "This sweat towel is made of high-quality materials, the embroidery is excellent, and it is half a tael of silver in the world, so where is it willing to throw it." After saying that, she mistakenly thought that Pei Heng was not clean, and hurriedly added: "Don't worry, my lord, I have washed it with soap powder every day, and I haven't used it today, it is absolutely clean." ”

Pei Heng rolled his eyes in his heart.

I saw Xie Yu's clear eyes again, and the bottom of her eyes was real. He paused, and finally took the sweat towel from Xie Yu's hand and wiped his hands clean.

"Jiangnan is prosperous, and the double-sided embroidery in Suzhou embroidery is even more light and delicate. Only I returned to Beijing from Lingnan this time, all the way back by water, but I didn't have time to go to Suzhou. ”

Pei Heng was born in Gyeonggi, and he has never seen any good things since he was a child, even if he does not go to Suzhou, Suzhou's high-quality embroidery will still be sent to Beijing.

Xie Yu was excited by Pei Heng's words.

She hurriedly asked, "Master Pei is going to Lingnan?" ”

Lingnan, that is where the Xie family was exiled ten years ago.

"Actually, my purpose this time is Lingnan, but it coincided with Lord Zhao's transfer to Yangzhou, so His Majesty sent me to set off in advance and come to Shanxi." The news of Pei Heng's trip to Lingnan is not a secret, so he doesn't have to hide it from Xie Yu.

Xie Yu felt a fire suddenly rise in her chest, igniting and boiling the blood between her limbs and hundreds of bones.

A bold thought arose in my heart.

She wants to go to Lingnan with Pei Heng.

This was too bold, but Xie Yu felt that it was her only chance. It's been ten years, and she has almost forgotten what her brothers look like.

Follow Master Pei to Lingnan to find the whereabouts of the Xie family.

Xie Yu's hand hidden in the cuff clenched, as if she had made a great determination, she looked at Pei Heng and called, "Master Pei." ”

Pei Heng heard her call more formal than usual, so he also stopped and looked back at her and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Can you take me to Lingnan too?"

Pei Heng patiently asked her, "Why?" Doesn't Master Fu value you very much? ”

Xie Yu bit her lip, she knew that her own actions were too risky. is as smart as Pei Heng, when she goes to Lingnan, it will be difficult for her to find the Xie family under his nose without being noticed.

Once her identity is discovered, the ending speaks for itself.

But in her heart, she still hopes that the Xie family is still alive in Lingnan, so she feels that her belief in overturning the case for the Xie family is still there. She thought that she had been dressed as a man in the past ten years, and her temperament had also been hardened, but she never thought about it or didn't dare to think about what would happen if the Xie family was the only one left.

Instead of relying on speculation so much, it is better to go to Lingnan to see in person, if the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, it can be regarded as making her die.

"My family should be in Lingnan." Xie Yu was afraid that Pei Heng would find out, so she lied again, "My family is well-off, and my family is a businessman who does business. If nothing else, I thought that my family should still go to Lingnan, originally relying on me alone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but if I go with Master Pei ......"

Because Pei Heng understood it at a point, he took the initiative to add the following words for Xie Yu, "So you want to follow me to Lingnan and want to borrow the government to help you find your family?" ”

Xie Yu nodded hurriedly, for fear that Pei Heng would see the clues on the side.

It is not difficult for Pei Heng to bring a Xie Yu, but this child is appreciated by Fu Lin, if he takes Xie Yu to Lingnan, it will be popular.

Xie Yu saw Pei Heng hesitating and knew that he was thinking about this.

"Master Pei rest assured, the villain will personally report to Lord Fu about this matter. If the adult is willing to take the villain to Lingnan, the villain will not be rewarded in this life, and the adult will send him alone. ”

Originally, he could have returned to Taiyuan after Pei Heng took her to Lingnan to find her brother, but she couldn't say this, otherwise it would seem that she would cross the river and tear down the bridge, and with Pei Heng going to Lingnan to find her parents, he turned around and ran back to Master Fu's arms.

What Xie Yu thought was that Pei Heng would never bring her back to the capital, so he would still part ways afterwards.

Pei Heng was much taller than her, so she couldn't see the thoughts in his eyes.

Xie Yu was a little anxious in her heart, but she heard Pei Heng groaning: "It's not impossible. ”

She knew that Pei Heng meant to agree, so she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Pei Heng and said, "Thank you, Master Pei." ”

Pei Heng wanted to laugh a little, and his eyes met Xie Yu, who just raised his head to look at him.

The sun was warm, and there were many scorching spots of light scattered on her shoulders.

It was the first time for Pei Heng to see Xie Yu's face so clearly, and he found that this child's eyes were extremely good-looking, as translucent as amber. Under the red lips, because of joy, a mouthful of white shell teeth was exposed.

It's a pity that he is too short, and he is more than a head shorter than him.

Thinking of Xie Yu saying that her family is well-off, Pei Heng is rarely sorry for him, if it weren't for the loss of his family at a young age, where would he have suffered so much, a good boy was born so thin, and he didn't know how to rely on such a body to control the people on weekdays.

Xie Yu didn't know what Pei Heng was thinking, but now she was happy in her heart, and Pei Heng's posture was lower than before, "Do you want to taste cold powder or yellow cake again?" It's a good day today, so why don't we go and eat jelly first? ”

Pei Heng was amused by Xie Yu's slippery behavior, and he slapped his palm and said, "It's up to you." ”

Xie Yuyan stepped forward to lead the way, but what she was thinking about in her heart was how to tell Master Fu about this when she returned to the county government later.

She knew the temperament of Lord Fu and Mrs., and she would not let her go, but she had been in Kangping County for ten years, and she had already made this place her home, and if she left Kangping County with Pei Heng, Xie Yu was afraid that she would not be able to get used to it.
