"Eh, Prime Minister, would you like to try my foal? It's handsome! ”

Ye Fu laughed: "I'll still take the carriage." ”

"By the way, Prime Minister, did that group of people just rob you of your things?"

"Hmm. The money that had been placed in the wagon was taken away by them. ”

"I'm! Waiting for me to chase it back! ”

"No need." Ye Fu smiled faintly, "Those are the silver that I have marked, once it appears in Ancheng, I will be able to know, and I will find the traces of those mountain bandits by the way." ”

"Haha, the prime minister is so smart!"

Saying that, Jing Ruyi got on the horse, and Ye Fu also sat in the carriage, and the two rushed back to the house.

The mansion of King Jingyang is called Yunju.

"Sister Wen, you're here too!"

Entering the hall, Wen Yi was wearing a light blue dress and was talking to Jin Ruoze about something.

The two of them handed Ye Fu in, and they all got up and saluted.

"Courtiers see prime minister."

"The lower official has seen the prime minister."

I don't know why, seeing someone enter the room, Ye Fu was a little unhappy in his heart, swept the two, said lightly, "no courtesy", and then entered the backyard.

Because of Ye Fu's sudden little temper, Jin Ruo was puzzled, and asked Jing Ruyi on the side: "Why did Miss Jing come back with the prime minister?" ”

Jing Ruyi took off his helmet and put the spear aside, before turning around and explaining to the two: "I met a group of robbers in the suburbs and rescued the prime minister. Those mountain bandits are really arrogant, see that I don't take anyone to level his nest another day! ”

Jin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, his nervous mood calmed down, and he smiled faintly: "Blame the official for negligence, and from tomorrow onwards, I will equip the prime minister with guards." Miss Jing must be tired when she goes out, and she wants to eat whatever she wants, and the official will tell the kitchen to do it. If the two young ladies need anything, you can tell my concubine Yuan'er, and she will take care of you thoughtfully. ”

"Then thank you King." Wen Yi replied politely.

"Thanks, thanks." Jing Ruyi smiled, and really went to the kitchen with Jin Ruoze to order.

During the banquet, Ye Fu sat above, while Jin Ruo and Yuan'er sat on the left, and Wen Yi and Jing Ruyi were on the right.

"It is a blessing for the officials to be able to eat at the same table with the three influential figures in the capital!" As he spoke, Jin Ruo drank a drink.

Ye Fu with tea instead of wine, polite on the face.

Jing Ruyi pinched the cup, took a sip like a child who was secretly drinking, and stuck out his tongue after being spicy, and his little face was wrinkled, so cute.

Wen Yi was dignified and polite, and raised a toast.

"It is said that the color of wine is misleading, but it is actually a great slander against wine, just like smearing mud on the original humble gentleman for no reason. When one person falls after drinking, and two of them also fall, they accuse it of drinking, but they don't know that it is all because of their own weak heart. ”

After speaking, Wen Yi was quite poetic, and improvised a few famous sayings about wine.

Jin Ruoze's eyes showed appreciation: "This official salutes Miss Wen again!" ”

"Hey, Wen Xuan, I really can't stand the pity of you literati." Jing Ruyi shook the goosebumps on her body, "Sister Wen is the number one talented woman in the capital, if Jin Junshou is so excited when she sees this, then you can't blow up your heart when you work together in the future!" ”

At this time, Ye Fu showed a little smile on his face.

"Hehe, Prime Minister, I finally made you laugh."

"Hmm." When the meal was almost finished, Ye Fu dropped the chopsticks and left the table.

Jing Ruyi also caught up from behind and went to the West Courtyard with Ye Fu.

Yunju has a main courtyard, an east and west courtyard, and a reception room in the south.

"Miss Jing, how long will you stay in Ancheng this time?"

"It's good for the prime minister to call me wishful. We, General Qin Qing went to the east, and Sister Wen Yi asked me to go to the west, and I will leave in two days. Rujun will be handed over to her, and the bandits in Anying Mountain should not leave until they are resolved. ”

"Hmm."

"King Jingyang is really good to the prime minister. As soon as you get here, he brought you reinforcements. ”

"Really?"

"No, Sister Wen said when she was on the road, she is here to help you with all her might."

Ye Fu heard the words, did not say a word.

The next day, Ye Fu went to a low house outside the city.

Walking inside, the quiet wind and smoke slowly dissipated, a few people saw someone visiting, they packed up their own things, waiting for Ye Fu's family to come over.

Ye Fu, who came from the microservice, did not expect to cause such a big sensation, but seeing that everyone was ready, he also took the plunge and finished one by one.

Tidying up and living a simple life is the overall feeling for them.

Because they are craftsmen, everyone has some tools and unfinished work in their room.

The last one covers an area of a little wide, is a papermaker, Ye Fu walked over, vaguely can see Bai Xuan who is about to dry.

"Master, you have a good piece of paper here."

"Childe has won the award, Xiaomin's craftsmanship is rough, and he is purely a mixed meal."

Ye Fu smiled and looked around.

The low house is built under a sheltered hillside, and it is comfortable for a group of people to live here.

In the evening, a few small fires were lit in the big dam, and the people sat in a group of seven or eight and chatted.

Ye Fu was also invited to sit in a place and gossip.

The man who made the paper came over with a bundle of firewood, Ye Fu had a little impression of this person, and beckoned him to sit down.

"Childe is still here, I won't be able to enter the city after a while, and there will be a curfew after the end of the day."

"Then can I go to the master's house tonight to make do with it? Let's see if you can sleep better in the place where the ink paper is fragrant. ”

"Eh, that's really a blessing for the little people."

The papermaker's surname is Zhao, and he has lived here for a few years.

Master Zhao took firewood to add firewood to the dam, and everyone chattered around.

"Master Zhao, where did all this firewood come from?"

"The brothers from all over the country sent it. Food, firewood and so on, are being delivered, and we just need to pay. ”

"Then they ......"

"Come here and listen to the excitement. There are small gatherings every half month, right in this dam. Sometimes the students from the opposite academy will also come over, and everyone will sing and harmonize, and there will be a scene and excitement. ”

Ye Fu listened, reached out and took a split firewood stick into the fire to ignite, occasionally crackling sound, is the firewood burning, the flame is like the dancing girl demon dance, the sound is like the singer's special and beautiful singing voice, in this dark night cut the mouth to release their own light.

Burning, a strange and warm embrace of the night.

"If Childe stays tonight, you can see them setting up a stage here during the day tomorrow, it's really lively!"

Master Zhao's earnest voice and smile made Ye Fu not refuse.

"Then I really have to trouble Master Zhao to take him in for one night."

"It's okay, it's okay." Master Zhao smiled innocently and gave Ye Fu two more pieces of firewood.

When he finished distributing it and then walked to Ye Fu's side, the fire had already been ignited, warm and warm, dispelling the bursts of autumn.

"The crops are almost ripe these days, and we all said that we want to help the villagers harvest!"

Cicadas chirp and rice are fragrant, it's the autumn harvest season.

"I don't think there are any children here, are they all in the township?"

"Hmm. Some people think that dragging their children to do work is troublesome, and they can't go to the city, they can't do scientific research, so they simply don't give birth, and they just care about the family's existing four-season rations. The most important ......" Master Zhao scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "A poor and sour person like us, if there is no girl who is willing to follow us, he will find someone in the city to marry, and it is okay to be a concubine." However, our Jin Junshou does not advocate the atmosphere of three wives and four concubines. After that, Master Zhao smiled.

"Our Jin Junshou, although the only concubine in the house is from a prostitute in Qinglou, he also loves this one, and he disdains those three wives and four concubines, and even hates them."

"Hehe, that's right. Not to mention that Kim County guarded. Ye Fu glanced at Master Zhao leisurely and said seriously, "I think Master Zhao is very good." ”

"Childe is really good at talking, we are all used to it, there are no parents and brothers, and the neighbors are a family. Glory and wealth do not bring death and do not bring away, look down on it. ”

"Huh?"

"Childe doesn't know, we used to live in the city, we have seen everything we eat and wear, and then we were sent out, but Jin Junshou gave us a house and a lot of money, enough to turn around for a while. Now everyone's work has stabilized, and they can eat enough for a lifetime. ”

"You guys, will you have any complaints against Jin Junshou?"

Ye Fu speculated on the minds of this group of people and boldly tested.

But all physical and mental fatigue have some suffering, and the wind and waves on the surface of Ancheng are calm, who knows if there is a storm in the secret.

"I complained, but we complained even more about the group of bandits in An Yingshan! We are all very grateful that the Golden Guards send a large number of men and horses to protect us every year, and they often patrol the mountains to guard against the arrogant behavior of the bandits. ”

"What kind of place is An Yingshan?"

"Originally, it was to assign some unscrupulous and unscrupulous people from Ru County, but later they gathered and became large and small forces, and began to compete with the government. We hated them so much that they were absorbing more and more wicked people, and often went down the mountain to extort the people and extort passers-by! ”

In the middle of the night, the firewood gradually burned out, and the lanterns around showed the power of a glimmer of light.

The brilliance is sprinkled in the dam, with a faint warmth.

Ye Fu picked up a piece of charcoal from the fire, and watched it transform from fiery red and red gold to black charcoal with a layer of gray and white crumbs.

The temperature also dissipated, leaving a faint residual temperature.

Ye Fu picked up in the palm of his hand, and scribbled and painted in the dam by the light of the light.

"He who forsaken me shall not remain in the day of yesterday;

Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today.

Gao Tang Mingjing's sad white hair,

Morning like green silk turning into snow at dusk......"

Ye Fu wrote fluently from the poetry in his memory.

Seeing this, Master Zhao's eyes lit up, looking at those ink words muttering in his mouth.

Ye Fu could tell from his subtle voice that it was a few words in the poem.

"Can Master Zhao read it?"

"I don't know much, I know a few, the people here are illiterate and blind, and it is absolutely impossible to write it down like Childe. Childe's handwriting is really beautiful, and he is about to catch up with the old master of the academy opposite. ”

Ye Fu was praised but did not have a trace of joy, but because of Master Zhao's words in front of him, he felt a faint sadness in his heart.

"I can see that Master Zhao likes poetry, otherwise he wouldn't have cherished and made white paper like that. I guessed a few points about the reason why you didn't study. ”

Master Zhao seems to know that Ye Fu is a big man, and he has important things to do here, and it will even have a huge impact on his life. In the silence, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Childe, Xiaomin doesn't want that." ”

"I see."

Ye Fu knows that sometimes, loneliness and mediocrity are just a habit, not a real like.

And the mediocrity of Master Zhao and others stems from the fact that they did not climb the steps to the interesting.

She couldn't take the liberty of breaking the rules.

Ye Fu stayed at Master Zhao's house for one night, silent, and had a good night's sleep.

The next morning I was screamed by a loud voice.

When I washed and went out, I saw a lot of people surrounded in the center of the dam, who were building a high platform, some were still wearing clothes, stepping on stilts, with long beards and white robes, and all kinds of gods and goddesses showed their powers.

Ye Fu watched a long-haired eight immortals walk in front of him, babbling as if he was recruiting blessings and incense, his face was painted with blush and eyebrows, festive and pious.

Ye Fu was also put on the stage by the hospitable Master Zhao, and was forced to sing a song with a smile, catering to everyone's joy in the simplest tune, and going around and around.

In the loud and noisy, Master Zhao shouted at the top of his voice: "Son, when there is a temple fair in the village community in two months, I will definitely let you see the real excitement!" ”

"Okay."

Ye Fu smiled and said goodbye to Master Zhao.

When returning to Yunju and passing by Wen Yi's east courtyard, Ye Fu saw that there were heavy soldiers guarding the far gate, and many soldiers were stationed inside.

Ye Fu was stopped when he wanted to go in, so he simply returned to the main courtyard.

It happened that Jing Ruyi came to visit the door, and Ye Fu asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Why are there so many soldiers and horses in Miss Wen's courtyard?"

"That's the one she brought." Jing Ruyi gnawed on the jujube, "King Jingyang's soldiers." ”

Not long after Jing Ruyi left, Wen Yi also came to the main courtyard, and hurriedly saluted after seeing Ye Fu: "The courtier, please forgive the prime minister." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I heard from Commander Shi that the prime minister entered the east courtyard this afternoon, but was stopped by the soldiers."

"Well, that's the thing."

"They were all sent by King Jingyang to assist and protect the courtiers, and they stopped you from the gate of the courtyard without asking the prime minister for a while, and the courtiers are willing to accept it on their behalf."

Ye Fu twisted his eyebrows when he heard this, but still said indifferently: "It's okay." ”

"Prime Minister......

"Am I such a stingy person? It's just that I don't understand the origin of these people, and I asked Jing Ruyi about it just now. Since it is King Jingyang's heart for you, I understand it. ”

As soon as Ye Fu finished speaking, she saw a shy smile on Wen Yi's face, and it seemed that she was too shy to mention the name of King Jingyang.

"Prime Minister's official business, can you finish it and return to Beijing this year?"

"How?"

"Courtier, courtier, I heard from my father that King Jingyang intends to marry after next year, and it would be good if the prime minister could come. If you can't come, King Jingyang is afraid that he will have some regrets. ”

"Get married after the year!" Ye Fu was a little excited, and picked up his hand, but after realizing it, he gently put it on his lap, and felt the blood in his meridians tumbling through the long shirt.

He wants to get married, he really wants to marry Wen Yi......
