Chapter 2: The Boy in Black

County Lieutenant Liu was a neat man, and put me in a cage and took me out early the next morning.

Lieutenant Liu took me all the way to the river, only to see that a big boat had been parked on the river, and there were servants on the side of the boat who were carrying some supplies, but there was no sound to be made, and I felt that the owner's tutor seemed to be very strict.

"It's all degraded, and it's such a big formation." The county officials next to him began to discuss.

"After all, he is a Taishi, and he has been operating in the capital for so many years, and the emaciated camel is stronger than the horse."

"But at such an old age, it will definitely be difficult to make a comeback."

"That's for sure, people who could have spent the past few years in peace and could have returned to their hometowns, who knows why they have to get involved in such a thing."

"Do you think the capital is a mess? This royal thing..."

"Shh County Lieutenant Liu made a look.

I saw a black-clothed young man walking down the boat, standing with a sword in his hand, and when he saw the official here, he turned around and went back.

Half a day later, a person who looked like a housekeeper walked down and said to several officials: "Hello adults, my lord is old, and his body is really a little unbearable, and he can't get off the boat, but he heard that you came to see him off, and he is very happy, so let me thank you, and send a set of books annotated by my lord himself to you, to express my gratitude." ”

"Mrs. Liu is highly respected, and we all admire him, please tell him to take care of his health." County Lieutenant Liu said.

Everyone took the book, gave their gifts, and watched the butler leave.

"I can't go down, and the score is too big." One complained.

"What do you think? People are masters, and in the past, we might not be able to send them in. ”

"But now it's all degraded, why is it still so big?"

As he spoke, a dart flew out of the boat and landed in a tree next to the group.

Everyone was shocked, did not dare to say anything more, and immediately dispersed.

As a rational cat, I still struggled a little when I was brought on the boat by the housekeeper, after all, I couldn't swim, and the boat was still not as stable as land.

Taking advantage of the crowd, I escaped through the crack in the cage and jumped to the ground, intending to escape.

But before I could come to my senses, a strong hand grabbed me, and I was hung by the neck, and when I looked up, I saw a handsome young man in black staring at me with an expressionless face.

"Qingyue." A voice came from not far away.

"Hmm." The boy agreed and carried me into the cabin.

An old man in the cabin was sitting on the couch writing something, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler was standing beside him.

"Teacher, we can set off in half an hour, and the next stop will arrive tomorrow afternoon, so you can rest assured." The man said respectfully to the old man: "As I saw just now, the officials of Yanzhou County are under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhi, and they still respect you very much, but the newly appointed county official did not come..."

The old man said without raising his head: "Okay, what does it matter if you come or not, now we are in this situation, it is also troublesome to come, people live a lifetime worthy of their conscience, why do you care so much?" ”

"The teacher is taught." The man said.

"And old man, when I leave Beijing this time, I don't want to pay attention to the affairs of officialdom anymore." The old man said nonchalantly.

The man seemed to be a little surprised, and continued a little unwillingly: "Teacher, let's leave the capital, the eldest prince is alone in the capital, I think he will be very difficult now, right?" Do you need someone to help him? ”

The old man stopped writing and said: "You said that you are not too young, you are not yet alive, since he chooses to stay, he must have his own way, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, no one will do anything to him, you just need to arrange this side." ”

"Yes." The man said quickly.

The old man looked at him and said, "I don't blame you, you are also a talented person, for so many years, staying in the Liu family has delayed you." ”

"Teacher...", the man said anxiously, "the student didn't mean that, the student was just worried about ......"

"Okay, let's talk about it when you get to Qianzhou Mansion, if you have a place to go, the old man will never stop you." The old man paused, seemed to feel that what he said was a little excessive, and added: "Ziwen, your junior brothers and sisters, there are some good developments in Beijing now, if you want to enter the officialdom, the old man is willing to repair the book to them, let me take care of you, after all, there are still many opportunities for young people, you have been by my side for many years, the old man is now dying, in the final analysis, I will delay you." ”

"Teacher, that's really not what I meant." Liu Ziwen said and knelt on the ground: "Teacher, it is my blessing that my Ziwen can follow you, I have never thought about him, and I hope you don't misunderstand." ”

The old man looked at him, got off the bed for a long time, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Ziwen, the old man knows your mind, so you don't need to say more." ”

Liu Ziwen stood up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ziwen helped the old man sit back on the couch, the old man just picked up the book, but he seemed to suddenly remember Qingyue, looked up at Qingyue, and saw that he was holding a cat in his hand, and became interested.

"Where did this cat come from?"

"It was sent by Liu Zhi, the county lieutenant." Qingyue said and carried me to Taishi Liu's eyes.

Mrs. Liu squinted his eyes and said, "It's a little interesting, such cats are rare in the capital, Liu Zhi has a heart, you have a relationship with it, it's not bad, if Yan'er sees it, she will like it very much." ”

I looked at the kind gaze of Master Liu, and somehow, I felt a little familiar.

Liu Ziwen stopped talking after hearing this, looked at Qingyue, and hesitated.

A few more gossips, Qingyue went out of the cabin first, I struggled to hold his sleeve, along the sleeve into his arms, he seemed a little reluctant, wanted to get rid of me, but I firmly hugged his placket, helpless, he had to reach out to support me, standing in the bow of the boat.

The ship has set sail, the wind is constantly blowing, I got into the arms of the breeze, looked up, Yanzhou has been far behind, suddenly felt a comfortable mood, Wangcai is afraid that there will be no way to chase me and bite it.

"Qingyue." Liu Ziwen suddenly appeared behind him and said, "Why are you still holding this cat?" ”

Qingyue stroked the cat in her hand and ignored him.

"Do you say that the teacher is confused, this sister Yan has been dead for a few years, why does he still seem to be unconscious." Liu Ziwen complained: "Is it as if this sister Yan can still come back to life." ”

Saying that, Liu Ziwen looked at Qingyue with an inquiring attitude.

Qingyue didn't even look at him.

Seeing this, Liu Ziwen continued: "And this time, the Taishi is old, and he has to get along with the emperor for that naming thing, so he was relegated to his hometown, and I don't know what it is for." ”

Qingyue was still indifferent, and I poked my head out of Qingyue's arm to look at the man, and felt that he was really annoying.

Seeing that he ignored him, the man was about to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he looked at me lying in Qingyue's arms, seemed to hesitate, and said, "This cat... Do you really want to keep it? ”

Qingyue still ignored him.

He had no choice but to leave.

I stayed in Qingyue's arms, looking at the receding mountains on both sides, blowing the cool river breeze, and felt that with such a cold shovel officer, my future life seemed to be good.
