Chapter 103: A Treat

After Xuanzhou turned to the southwest, and after a few days, the two sides of the strait gradually ceased to be as prosperous as they had seen before, but the scenery was more strangely shown, the mountain peaks were extended, the mountain peaks were steep and straight, and the trees were lush and green.

Hu Shi was a little worried, and said to Xiaodong: "I am about to leave Yuanzhou, I heard that there are water bandits in front of me, and the road is not very smooth." ”

Qin Lie didn't talk about this, and Xiao Dong didn't feel very worried. Qin Lie must have walked this road more than once or twice, and their goods often pass by here, if there were really water bandits, how could Qin Lie choose to take this road?

"Mom, don't worry, it's just a rumor, it's not that serious."

Hu Shi nodded, and recognized Xiao Dong's words: "I don't know if I don't come out, it turns out that the world is so big." I used to think that the capital was very big, but what kind of thing in the world didn't have in the capital? But when we came out, we were really frogs at the bottom of the well. ”

Dong smiled and made a detour for Hu. Hu Shi is always idle, and she is used to doing some work in her hands, but her eyesight is not as good as before: "Mom ** has a lot more knowledge than me, since you say so, it must be right." ”

Shi whispered: "Uncle is really a capable person, you see that this road is proper, but I don't know how much better than the person who can only talk empty words." I've heard of it, the lord of Zhao Hui married a famous genius back then, but unfortunately he was not corrupt, although he found a noble position in the Hanlin Academy, he offended most of the people in a few days, and was sent to Siqi Pavilion to take care of the bibliography. As a result, he was unlucky, but the house leaked and damaged the book again, and he was assigned to Chang Yongsi to guard the empty yard. There is no one there, and there is nothing there, so he can finally stay, otherwise, he will have to be kicked out of the capital and exiled if he gets into trouble twice. ”

Well, Zhao Hui Xiaodong still has the impression that she studied together in Jiyutang for two years at that time, she married very early and gave birth to two children. However, Xiao Dong doesn't know much about her colt.

To be an official, you must first be able to be a person. Talent alone is not enough. If you don't know how to be a person, the more talented you are, the more you will be able to attract talent.

Unlike him, Shen Jing is too good at being a person.

Yes......

Xiao Dong felt like this about him.

I know how to deal with people too well, and I know too much to protect myself, although I ...... This is necessary, but as a relative, friend, and partner who grew up together, I always feel that he is not sincere enough.

Probably the only time Xiao Dong saw his true temperament twice, once when he hid in a rockery cave to watch chivalry, and once again...... Send that picture scroll to the fifth princess.

Xiao Dong was slightly distracted, and he didn't even care if the swallow pointed out to her a tree leaning out halfway up the mountain.

Somewhat...... Homesick.

It's nice to go out, but she's still homesick.

I have never left the capital so far, so long. She missed waking up every morning to the chirping of birds outside the window, and the magpies dragging their tails from tree branches to the sky. She missed that the incense in the room had burned out, and there was a faint afterglow left behind, and the fragrance seemed to be absent, lingering on the tip of her nose. She misses people even more.

I don't know how King An is? Are you alright? Are you still busy and tired? Did you add or subtract clothes on time? Is it that you can't sleep at night after drinking more tea?

And Zhao Lu, is he okay in Chengling? Every time I see him, I feel that he has changed, he has lost weight, he is strong, and the experience in the army seems to have erased all the soft things on his body, leaving only his strong bones.

Is this change good or bad?

Xiaodong misses Zhao Lu a little bit in the past, although he is a little childlike, mother-in-law **.

However, it should be a good thing. Zhao Lu will grow up after all, he is no better than Xiaodong, he used to rely on his father, and he will rely on his husband in the future. King An will eventually grow old, and he will have to support the lintel in the future......

Growing up is one thing that all people can't resist.

Although growing up is not so happy and smooth.

"County Lord, the wind is tight, close the window, right?"

"Okay."

Swallow continued to struggle with her messy thread, honing it for a few days, and her progress was limited to improving from a large mess of threads to a handful of messy threads. Hu said to Xiao Dong in private: "According to Miss Li's learning method, when she gets married, she is only afraid that she will be able to cut a veil, and she will still have plain noodles. ”

Xiao Dong couldn't help but smile and said, "Not necessarily, maybe she will suddenly open up one day." ”

Of course, this is too unlikely.

Hongfu came in from outside and whispered, "It's strange, when did we have several more ships behind the ship?" ”

Xiao Dong looked at it, and sure enough. There are seven or eight of them in the back. The draft of the ship is deep, and it looks like a ship with a lot of cargo.

The fog unconsciously rose on the surface of the river, and it gradually became thicker and thicker.

"This ...... It can't be a water bandit, right? ”

Xiao Dong burst out laughing: "The water bandits will definitely drive a small boat, come and escape quickly, who can they chase with such a big boat?" ”

"Oh yes." Hongfu smiled: "How does the county lord know that the bandits are all small boats?" You've never been out of the house either. ”

Xiao Dongxin said that there are no fewer water bandits and road bandits in modern times than in ancient times. But she just smiled, and Hongfu herself added: "I know, my uncle said it, right?" My uncle is really well-informed. ”

Why did these ships follow them? Don't know the way? It's impossible, a waterway goes straight from here to Shazhou.

Nor are they water bandits......

So, is it trying to take advantage of the situation?

It's possible.

If it's really not peaceful in this neighborhood, it's much better to walk together than to be alone. There are many people, and the water bandits will also weigh it.

When Qin Lie came into the cabin, Xiao Dong asked him. Qin Lie just smiled: "Don't worry, our ship has passed back from here, isn't it all too peaceful?" By the way, in half an hour, the boat will stop at Fenglindu, I have an acquaintance here, surnamed Hui, you ask someone to clean up some wine and food, I will invite him to drink two glasses. ”

Xiao Dong agreed, and his heart suddenly moved: "This surnamed Hui, do you know the water bandits?" ”

If everyone else says that there are water bandits here, and Qin Lie is fine when he returns, then he gets acquainted with the water bandits, even if this person surnamed Hui is not a water bandit, he must have some friendship with the water bandits, and this possibility is very great.

Qin Lie was slightly surprised, looking at Xiao Dong's gaze with a novel and appreciative look.

"Going out with friends, with the help of friends, everything is much easier."

This is a disguised acknowledgment.

Seeing that he smiled as if he was very loyal, Xiao Dong just wanted to scold: a traitor.

To be a man is to be loyal, and to do business is to be honest, but only loyalty and integrity are not enough. Qin Lieneng had such achievements at a young age - although he was on the right path, he couldn't just take the right path, and those other ways should also be connected.

Is a really loyal and honest person going to jump out of her window unremittingly for so many years?

Xiao Dong suddenly had a feeling of being fooled-no, in fact, Qin Lie didn't lie to her.

It's just that there are a lot of things she didn't think about before.

Besides, Qin Lie is really good to her.

Under the premise of not being careful, Qin Lie's little cunning, those are all small sections.

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll order someone to cook a few good dishes." ”

"The food should be spicy, and the wine should be good."

"Got it."

The wine and food are very rich, and Xiao Dong is comfortable with the arrangement of the kitchen, even if he has a temporary treat, he is not in a hurry. There are local ingredients, such as fish jelly, fried snails and fried shrimp, and there are also their own products, dried mushrooms, bamboo shoots, sliced vermicelli and ham. A table of dishes from north to south is mixed, and it is full of dazzling.

There is also a shift in the evening.
