Chapter 263: Arriving in Cangzhou
On the second day, he entered Cangzhou.
Zhong Xiaoshu immediately felt the harsh environment that was not as bad as the jungle where he slept last night, there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, not to mention that there were still people selling and lounging on the streets, and there were hungry people squatting everywhere.
However, although there are many hungry people, they are basically still eating a sweet potato and a half in their hands, but they will not starve to death.
It's just that their expressions are numb, most of them are also dusty, and their bodies are still in tatters, and there are scarred wounds on the exposed wounds, and even some are lame and broken, and the situation is indeed very bad.
Yin Zhige only glanced at it, his face was very serious, and the whole person exuded a strong aura, which was the general's compassion for the suffering people and shame on the status quo.
The group came to the door of the Cangzhou prefect with an indescribable look, handed the sign in, and soon the Cangzhou prefect Hong and the adults came out to greet them.
His face was full of smiles, "Xiaguan Hong Weixian, I didn't know that General Yin was so fast, he actually rushed here today, it's really slack, the general is slack, please come into the mansion!" ”
Yin Zhige glanced at him lightly, didn't answer his words, but reached out and pulled Zhong Xiaoshu over, and walked inside.
Only then did Lord Hong react, and hurriedly chased after him and smiled at Zhong Xiaoshu and said, "The little official is clumsy, I didn't see that the general's wife is also here, please come in, please come in." ”
The overly enthusiastic greeting made Zhong Xiaoshu frown slightly, turned his head sideways, and was about to say to this Lord Hong and Lord Don't be so polite.
I don't want to look at the beams that happened to be put on, and the beams of the dignified Cangzhou prefect were broken several miserable times, Xu was informed that the court sent someone to temporarily repair it, and it looked like it was still half new and half old, which was very conspicuous and awkward.
Hong Weixian followed Zhong Xiaoshu's gaze for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Mrs. General, please understand, go inside, everything is good inside, and the wing room prepared for the two of them is even more intact, please rest assured, rest assured!" ”
Zhong Xiaoshu said in her heart, where did she care about whether she lived well or not, but after thinking about it, this adult thought like this, no wonder the people of Cangzhou were casually instigated by the people of the third prince.
On weekdays, it can be seen that life is not good, and the resentment has been accumulated for a long time, so it can be easily provoked to anger in the bottom of the heart.
Zhong Xiaoshu silently gave the Cangzhou prefect a low score in his heart, and looked back at Yin Zhige, which showed that he was also not very satisfied.
Hey, it's really not a simple thing to come to Cangzhou.
Who knew that this was not over, and it was still behind that Yin Zhige had a cold face.
As soon as Hong Weixian welcomed Yin Zhige and his wife into the mansion, he immediately greeted the people below, "Hurry up, General Yin will come to our Cangzhou in person to serve wine and food!" You have to take care of the dust for the general and his wife! ”
After that, a group of little maids came up, serving tea to those who served tea, those who led to sit down, and even those who wanted to bring water to Zhong Xiaoshu and wash their hands.
The little maid was just about to reach out to touch Zhong Xiaoshu, but she was stopped by two shouts.
One was Nian Wu who was standing behind Zhong Xiaoshu, and the other was Yin Zhige, who was sitting next to Zhong Xiaoshu, so frightened that the little girl froze on the spot, and was almost so frightened that she knocked down the basin in her hand.
The prefect, who wanted to entertain them, immediately waved his hand, "Go, go!" ”
Then he said with a flattering smile, "The subordinate doesn't understand the rules, which frightened the general's wife, and please don't be angry, come, the subordinate specially asked people to prepare the meal for the two, please taste the local characteristics!" ”
Looking at the table, it is still very rich, chicken, duck and fish are all available, and there is even a jar of good osmanthus wine, just smelling it is a good product.
As soon as Hong Weixian came, he first poured a glass of wine for Yin Zhige, raised the glass and said, "Xia Guan has long heard of General Yin's martial deeds, went into battle to kill the enemy, and never lost the record, and even had a person go to the enemy camp to obtain the prestige of the enemy's general's head!" I really admire it! ”
Yin Zhige was flattered and praised for such a meal, but there was not much expression on his face, he looked serious, and only said lightly, "The prefect is polite." ”
Hong Weixian choked up, but he was not discouraged, glanced at Zhong Xiaoshu who was sitting next to him, changed his direction and said, "Xia Guan has also heard that General Yin and the general's wife have a deep relationship, like a drum and a piano. ”
Not only was Yin Zhige's face solemn, but even Zhong Xiaoshu made a straight face, the two glanced at each other, and after exchanging their disdain for this sycophant, Zhong Xiaoshu said lightly, "The prefect praised it falsely." ”
Who knows if this Hong Weixian doesn't know if he is a person who doesn't know how to look at his face, or if he did it on purpose, he didn't get angry at all and gave up the praise of Yin Zhige and Zhong Xiaoshu, even if the two of them didn't accept the invitation at all, they still talked about the whole meal.
In the end, the jar of osmanthus wine was drunk, and he ended this flattery trick a little reluctantly.
Zhong Xiaoshu looked at Yin Zhige who was already holding back his temper, although he didn't move anything between her eyebrows, she could feel that he was very angry, and took the opportunity to hurriedly say, "I'm also very tired all the way here, Lord Hong, let's get here first today." ”
The general's wife said so, Hong Weixian naturally nodded and said, "Yes, it is the lower official who has not thought it through, the wing room has already been prepared, the general and his wife can go to bed and rest early, let's talk about everything tomorrow." ”
This thing naturally refers to violence and chaos.
Thanks to the fact that this prefect who seems to only be a sycophant still remembers such a thing, Zhong Xiaoshu thought with a pout.
"Tomorrow, the Japanese general will come again to talk to the prefect in detail." Yin Zhige stood up directly, his tone was calm, and then he pulled Zhong Xiaoshu and left the table.
It can be seen that he is really angry.
As soon as he returned to the room and closed the door, Yin Zhige's face immediately changed, revealing all the emotions he had endured all night.
"The people of Cangzhou have to eat sweet potatoes, this prefect still has wine and meat, and they eat happily, they are really not worthy of being parents and officials!"
Zhong Xiaoshu stepped forward to comfort him, "Zhige, don't be angry." In fact, the more problematic this Cangzhou prefect is, the better it is. ”
They were originally here to find fault, if the Cangzhou prefect was a person who was normal in all aspects, hid everything, and was almost perfect, then there was nothing to be done.
As far as they are concerned, the more problems exist in the entire Cangzhou, the more the grievances of the second prince can be resolved.
