Ji Qingling gritted her teeth in shame, and couldn't help but reach to Gu Yanzhang's waist and pinch him hard.

Gu Yanzhang screamed contrivedly, took Ji Qingling into his arms, grabbed her hand and touched his waist, looked aggrieved, and said pitifully: "Be careful, don't pinch the kidney, if you hurt that place, I won't be useful in the future, where are you going to cry?" ”

It took Ji Qingling a while before she figured out what this "kidney" had to do with "uselessness", and she was simply dumbfounded.

In terms of shamelessness, she has always been inferior to the one in front of her, but the longer she gets along, his skin seems to be getting thicker and thicker, and she doesn't know who she learned it from.

Gu Yanzhang hugged the person in his arms, and saw that her eyes were round, as if she hadn't reacted for a long time, and her eyelashes were still trembling slightly, fluttering, because she had only been pestered by herself to study hard once a moment ago, and her eyes were full of color.

He couldn't help but bow his head, choke the plump lips and kiss for a while, and then rubbed his slightly reddened cheek and kissed it, and then whispered to the one on the right who was having a hot cochlear implant: "Really annoyed me?" ”

Ji Qingling breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the mattress with his right hand, and couldn't help but sneer: "You are talking nonsense like this again......"

Before she could finish her words of condemnation, there was a knock on the door outside, and then Qiu Yue was heard calling softly, "Madam." ”

It was the people below who heard the bell and came over to help clean up their things.

She didn't care about it anymore, so she quickly straightened up and hurriedly put away the things on the bed.

Gu Yanzhang was obedient this time, and when he saw her go to clean up those bottles and cans, he reached out to take over the matter, and did not forget to mutter: "I told them to see them left and right, and I don't know it......"

Ji Qingling glared at him with a red face, took two steps back, and saw that the conspicuous things were almost all right, before letting Qiu Yue and the others in.

When he had to pack his luggage, because he was not in a hurry, Gu Yanzhang didn't even ride a horse, he didn't want any face, he just squeezed a carriage with Ji Qingling, although he couldn't do anything, he was talking next to each other.

It took a long time for the group to come, and when they went back, it was slow, but they walked for almost a whole day.

Seriously calculated, this time it was only seven or eight days to go out, and when he returned to Yongzhou, Ji Qingling actually had a feeling of being in a different world.

She snuggled in Gu Yanzhang's arms, lifted the curtain and looked at the street scene outside the carriage, inexplicably, she always felt lost.

This feeling has actually been there since a few days ago, but he has always been led by him to learn, and the two have a lot of love words to say day and night, so she ignored the past intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, when I returned to Yongzhou, the feeling came up again, and I couldn't tell what it was like.

She couldn't help but shudder.

Gu Yanzhang immediately noticed it, held her hands and rubbed them for a while, and asked softly, "What's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" ”

Ji Qingling shook his head, but his face was sad.

She didn't know why she was so empty.

Gu Yanzhang frowned, and said softly: "Did you make trouble at night?" If that's the case, let's take a break tonight, and I'll go get a doctor, okay? ”

Ji Qingling couldn't help but take a sip of him.

Although the night is a little too frequent, it is only for a few days, and it is time to ask for a doctor.

was interrupted by him like this, and she was half-detached from that emotion.

Gu Yanzhang saw it in his eyes, thought about it in his heart, thought about it, turned her half-around, sat down face to face with him, kissed her forehead again, and asked softly, "Qingling, are you afraid of me?" ”

Ji Qingling was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it, he was stunned.

Gu Yanzhang said again: "Between you and me, is there anything else that can't be said?" ”

Ji Qingling thought about it for a long time before he nodded and admitted, "I'm a little afraid." ”

Gu Yanzhang asked, "What are you afraid of me?" ”

Seeing that Ji Qingling was still a little reluctant to speak, he asked again: "When did you start to be afraid of me?" ”

Again: "Is it the day of the round house?" ”

Ji Qingling hesitated, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It wasn't that day, it was later...... Fifth brother, don't pay attention to me, I can't turn around if I want to. ”

She didn't know what she was afraid of, but there was nothing in the round house the next day, and when she got to the end, she always felt that she had done something bad, and every time she looked at the fifth brother, she felt that he was a bad person.

Even though I always comfort myself with the reason that the two are husband and wife, sometimes that thought always lingers.

Gu Yanzhang sighed softly, hugged her tightly, and said softly, "It's me who didn't do a good job." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that I'm acting a little fiercely, and sometimes I can't control it, it's very different from what I do on weekdays, so you can see it...... I was afraid" After a pause, he proposed softly, "The day of the round house...... Qingling, why don't you come in the future......"

Ji Qingling didn't understand for a while.

He added: "The first time it was all up to you, and I don't see you afraid of me...... In this case, I will not be so fierce in the future, just follow your temperament, you can do what you want, I just lie down honestly, as long as you don't speak, I won't come nonsense, okay? ”

Ji Qingling was stunned, not knowing whether he was going to nod or shake his head.

She always felt as if this was indeed a solution, but there seemed to be something wrong, and she was still pondering in her heart, the carriage had slowly stopped, and she could only hear the coachman say outside: "Official, madam, let's go home." ”

In a hurry, Ji Qingling only nodded indiscriminately, "um", and revealed the matter, only to go back to the house to take care of his bags, and it was important to pack up and return to Beijing.

Gu Yanzhang didn't embarrass her, jumped out of the carriage first, and took people's hands into the courtyard.

The two of them didn't eat much seriously along the way, and when they returned home at this time, they hurriedly asked the kitchen to send the food over to cushion their stomachs first.

Kankan finished dinner, and before the two of them could say a few words, Songjie flew in from outside, and said to Gu Yanzhang: "Official, Li Tongju called someone to interrogate, just said that he wanted to come to visit, and it is not cheap to inquire about you at the moment." ”

Gu and Ji were stunned for a moment at the same time.

Ji Qingling said curiously: "What is so anxious? ”

When the talent came back, the chair was not hot, but he hurriedly came to visit.

Gu Yanzhang only shook his head.

He wasn't sure what he wanted, so he had to stand up, explain a few words to Ji Qingling, and go to the side hall to meet the guests.

He saw Gu Yanzhang come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and when the greetings were finished, he didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Yanzhang, I don't know when you will leave for Beijing?" ”

This is straightforward, and it sounds like it is a bit urging people to go faster.

Gu Yanzhang was a little puzzled when he heard this, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to return to Beijing within sixty days from the date of receiving the order, and I originally calculated the time and prepared to leave on the eighth day of the next month...... However, this matter is not only for me, but also depends on when the officials who come to take over will complete the audit and collect the accounts, and after the handover, it will be settled. ”

Li Bojian hurriedly said: "I have already asked, they have all counted and checked the accounts yesterday, and there is no problem." ”

He also said: "If this is the case, have you decided to set off on the eighth day of the next month?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded.

It's not something to hide.

The time left by the Son of Heaven for him is quite generous, not to mention that he also has some beginnings to deal with here, and then he will return to Beijing with Ji Qingling, so he must prepare well on the road, set off on the twenty-eighth, walk slowly on the road, and wait until he has to go to the capital to become famous, and then wait for the Son of Heaven to summon him, and the arrangement is just right.

Hearing his reply, Li Bojian's face had turned from blue to black, which was simply blind.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and turned back and forth in front of Gu Yanzhang several times, and finally became ruthless, raised his head and said, "Yanzhang, there is a matter, I really don't know how to tell you." ”

When he said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind again, and said: "Yanzhang, the matter of your handover is already in place, and when you return to the yamen tomorrow, you will be able to clean up the beginning and end in half a day at most, this matter is completed, there are still three days to pick this month, I don't know which one you like?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a page from his sleeve, and wrote three days on it, and copied all the things that were appropriate and taboo.

That Li Bojian handed the page to Gu Yanzhang and looked at him, as if he was anxiously waiting for a reply.

Gu Yanzhang took it and glanced at it.

Sure enough, the three days were not mentioned in the same month, and each one was closer than the other, and the nearest one was actually six days later.

In such a hurry, although it is not impossible to set off, Gu Yanzhang is not perfunctory at will, he put down the paper, raised his eyebrows, and waited for Li Bo to answer briefly.

The two have been working together for a long time, and he knows very well that although the one in front of him has limited ability, he is not messy, and at this time, the other party has come to find himself and do such a strange thing, there must be a reason for it.

Sure enough, Li Bojian saw him looking at him, and hurriedly said: "Yanzhang, I won't say anything in front of you, this matter should be a favor for me!" If you don't have time to clean up, you want a girl here, a small girl, even if it is an errand soldier or a soldier, as long as you say it, I will help you send it over, I just hope that you don't want to leave on the eighth day of the next month! ”

He saw Gu Yanzhang's face full of puzzlement, and the expression on his face was very strange for a while, which seemed to have six or seven points of envy, and one or two points of jealousy, and a little bit of indescribable complexity, and after a long while, he said: "I don't know which place in the yamen is poked out, saying that you are going to leave on the eighth day of the next month, and it has been spread all over the city, men, women and children, everyone is privately clamoring to send it - at present, you also know the manpower in the city, whether it is a soldier or an errand soldier, everyone has something important, but if there are fewer people in any place, it will not be able to operate." If you really go that day, up and down the city, you will be dispatched to three or four out of ten people, where can you find so many people to maintain stability? ”

He also said: "When something really happens, I have a mess in my hands, I am already struggling, and the patrol shop is still in my hands now, you know, once the people are in chaos, who knows if there will be a stampede, or there will be other chaos, for the sake of stability, Yanzhang, please pity your poor brother and me, for the sake of our friendship for most of the year, I have been wronged, let's go for a few days!" ”

is actually here to call brothers and sisters, and to start friendships.

Even if Li Bojian is not reliable, but at this time, he is reduced to acting like this, and he really doesn't want any face.

Gu Yanzhang heard his explanation like this, and he didn't need to say more, so he already agreed.

In the past, the situation in Ganzhou is still vivid, there are many people, it is easy to be chaotic, although I don't know what Yongzhou is like, but the situation in Ganzhou and Yongzhou is different, not to mention the lack of manpower, the temper of the people is also very different, even if there are only half of the people that day, I am afraid that it will not be controlled.

This time, even if it turns out afterwards that he is self-inflicted, it doesn't matter if there are not a few people to send it, he will also leave cautiously and cautiously, so as not to be known by the people, so as not to breed trouble.

***

Not to mention that in this place, Li Bojian spread his thoughts in front of Gu Yanzhang, just begging him to leave a few days early, so as not to make the people in the city crowd to see each other, and in another place, in a small wine shop in the west of Yongzhou City, there are also many people talking about it.

I don't know who started first, but everyone has already started to talk about it with you and I at the beginning.

"It's useless for us Yongzhou people to say this, in the end there is no name and no point, and it is not hard to speak! But you might as well ask the people of Qinzhou to sign a petition and send a petition to the capital - where in the world have you heard of such a thing! How long has this trip to Zhizhou been in office? From the beginning to the end, it was only two months! shouted that the people of Qinzhou wrote a book of all the people, and everyone pooled the money to buy a horse for the messenger, three or four horses are not too much! Didn't someone say that the person who delivered a letter to the Son of Heaven had to change three or four horses all the way? From Yongzhou to the capital like this, it will take ten days at most to arrive, and once you come and go, you can't say that you can catch up! ”

As soon as this person's words fell, someone continued to shout: "Let's also ask the four horses that sent the letter to be ridden differently, if not enough, five horses will do, all the way to the capital, knocking on the drum of grievances at the entrance of the Kyoto Prefecture, so that the Son of Heaven also knows that our Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou are one, which is really pitiful!" I have suffered from Jiaozhi, not only the money is important, but the relief is important, so we have to keep a useful official for us? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.

Someone shouted, "Yes! Could it be that only the people in the capital are people, but our people in Yongzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou are not people? The strange old man said that the surname was not the white surname, so he gave a surname 'mistaken' to come, and sure enough, it was a mistake, and it hurt so much in the state, but he also sat in the seat for more than a year, and it was easy to find a surname 'Gu', everything was taken care of, but it was only one or two months, and the ass was not hot, so he was going to snatch people away, where is such a truth in the world! Bullying us far away, no one listens? ”

For a while, someone next to him frowned at him and scolded: "If you scold that dog official, you will scold, how can you get your surname!" Our surname is Wu, all of us are good, only that one bastard came out, and I don't know how he was born, we refuse to call him this surname, and we have tarnished the reputation of our surname Wu in vain! ”
