After getting along with Xu Qingqing for a few days, Shui Er not only had a more ruddy face, but also returned to his original cheerful and agile appearance, Xu Qing shared a boat with her, Liang Qingcheng and them went to Suzhou in the front boat, along the canal south to Suzhou, the new seedlings on both sides of the river were green, and the clear stream was like a net.

Shui'er was lying on his tuǐ, holding a small group of fans to help Xu Qing cool for a while, saying that women are made of water, and maybe only Shui'er deserves to say this, Xu Qing's hand left the page, seemingly unintentionally sliding from her fragrant shoulder, mō to her earlobe, and then did not move away, Shui'er's earlobe was very sensitive, and he couldn't bear his caressing, so he had to hug his arm and take it to his waist, but Xu Qing's hand still slid 'unconsciously', and soon fell on her incense.

Shui'er's body trembled, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "Adults don't feel at ease to read, don't make a mistake again, otherwise the slave family won't help you cool down." ”

"There's water, don't read this book!" Xu Qing picked her up and hugged her into his arms, Shui'er's body was extremely light, and feeling this, Xu Qing said: "By the way, Shui'er, I heard that Zhao Feiyan can dance in the palm of his hand, I don't know if Shui'er can do it?" Why don't we try it? ”

"Hehe, as long as the adults can afford the slave family, the slave family will be able to dance!"

"What are you, I think I once lifted a big copper tripod of three hundred catties and broke a big stone at the mouth of xiōng...... Forget it, forget it, as long as the water can dance on the chuáng, I don't want you to really dance in the palm of your hand. ”

"My lord! You're necrotic! ”

"Well, I have to admit, I never said I was a good person."

Shui'er wanted to escape, but he was reluctant to leave his arms, the two of them were in love with me, the boat passed through the state all the way, and entered Suzhou at dusk, Xu Qing liked this city very much, more than Yangzhou.

Each city has its own characteristics, Yangzhou is more flamboyant, extravagant, and rippling than Suzhou, and Suzhou is more quiet, tranquil, and connotative than Yangzhou, which is more like a lady raised in the depths of the boudoir.

The kind of indisputable charm it exudes, just like the clear water alleys of the city, flowing in veins, the quiet courtyard, the ancient pink walls and green tiles, walking into it, make you feel that time seems to stand still here, nothing is worth worrying about, there is no ambition worth persevering, all the wind and dust, all the joys and sorrows, will dissolve in the glutinous Wu Nong's soft words, the flowing water and sunset of the veins.

Xu Qing and their boat passed through the dense river and directly leaned to the port of the Liang family, Xu Qing only brought a few guards from Jing Liulang's family this time, the movement was very small, and it was not as much as the Liang family who stood at the port to greet them, and Liang Sixun, who received the news, took the family out to wait.

Xu Qing took Liang Qingcheng, who went home together, to give a salute, Liang Sixun didn't dare to accept it, but Liang Yu's second brother Liang Qingyun called his brother-in-law sweetly, which was very pleasing and relieved the slight embarrassment of both parties.

Liang Yu rarely put on a paddy field coat, the paddy field coat is more eye-catching, it is made of pieces of cloth of different sizes, different faces, like the boundary painting of rice fields, hence the name. Liang Yu put on this beautiful paddy field clothes, and it felt as if she was standing among the flowers; She left the capital after Xu Qing, Xu Qing rode a horse all the way, afraid that she would be affected, so he asked her to take a boat and go back to Jiangnan first.

A group of people entered Liang's house, and Liang Yu took them back to the room to freshen up first, Xu Qing was suddenly startled by a pretty figure.

"Xi'er, why are you here?"

Who is the county lord of Qingping who turned out from the door? Qing Ping saw his eyes staring in disbelief, he smiled happily, and the small fan in his hand shook in front of his eyes before saying, "Husband, I'm not happy when I see people coming to Jiangnan, isn't it?" ”

"Don't talk about those useless things, say, why did you come to Jiangnan?"

Qingping stepped forward and grabbed his arm and replied, "Can't people come?" Sister Hongling has been here with you, Nan Nan also came here last time, the parents are so old, they haven't been to Jiangnan yet, it's rare to have Sister Yu'er as a companion this time, people are naturally coming, if the husband is unhappy, people will go back immediately. ”

"Oh, His Royal Highness the county lord, please forgive me, the lower official never meant that, which lower official you fall in love with only serve wholeheartedly, how dare you say that you are unhappy!"

"Husband! Hugh wants to make fun of people again, by the way, husband, I knew that people would go with you, do you know, now your Yueyang Lou Ji is being recited everywhere, and the husband is so well written! It's a pity that people couldn't follow their husband to Dongting Cave to have a look. ”

As soon as he entered the room, Qingping brought the topic to the sensational Yueyang Lou Chronicle, with a deep regret on his face, and his bright eyes were full of yearning.

"Xi'er, it's polite for outsiders to praise me, but we are a family, isn't it a bit too much for you to praise me like this? If we are heard, we can't laugh at it, let's brag about it. Okay, this matter should not be mentioned again, for the husband is sleepy in the shoulders, you can help pinch it, husband, I still have some dust brought by Baling on my shoulders, you dip it, you should have been to Baling! ”

"Hee-hee, no! Sister Yu'er is the master, and Hou Fujun, a noble person, is naturally Sister Yu'er's business, I want to pinch you and find her! ”

Xu Qing stretched her hand and gently scratched her nose, this girl came to Jiangnan to relax, and people became naughty.

"Say, where did you go?"

"I didn't go much to my husband, my sister and I came all the way south along the river, and we also played Yangzhou, Runzhou, and Suzhou, and there is not, and Gaoyou, where my husband pacified Wang Lun's rebellion, people naturally want to go and see it! Husband, do you still want to go on patrol? Why don't we go to Hangzhou together! There is our family's tea garden there, and it is not easy for my husband to come to Jiangnan now, don't you want to take a look? ”

The county lord of Qingping really talked a lot, which made Xu Qing feel that tǐng was fun, and there were no outsiders in the room, Xu Qing hugged her to his lap and sat down, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the county lord came all the way to enjoy the scenery, so what masterpieces have come out?" ”

"As soon as the husband's Yueyang Tower comes out, where do others dare to take out their clumsy work and be embarrassed! Originally, people also made two poems, but they were compared to the husband's Yueyang Lou Ji without shame, so don't mention it! ”

Xu Qing leaned into her ear and teased softly: "We are husband and wife, we are not afraid to show our eyes, is it okay for His Royal Highness the County Lord to chant to her husband again tonight?" ”

"Husband, you...... Hmph, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and my husband has become bad, shouldn't I be messing with flowers and grass everywhere along the way? ”

"That's not true, Xi'er forgot to murmur what to call me now? Husband, I'm a good person now, and I haven't messed with any flowers and plants, but this's it! Really count it, for my husband...... Cough! Three thousand weak water, I took a scoop of drink for my husband, this is ......"

"Hee-hee, my husband also blushes sometimes! It's so fun, in fact, husband, you don't say it, people have also heard Sister Yu'er talk about water! ”

Xu Qing hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Shui'er, why don't you come and meet His Royal Highness the county lord of our family, well, there are also women who don't let their eyebrows go, and they are also the Liang God of Wealth of our Xu family!" In the future, we will have to rely on her to pay for our meals! ”

Under Xu Qing's frolic, the three women finally met the ceremony smoothly and did not provoke the sword light and sword shadow.

After dinner, Xu Qing and Liang Sixun talked about Liang Qingcheng's marriage in detail, and learned from Wei Lingyun that although Mo Zhaoping, the governor of the state, was keen on fame and fortune, there were no bad deeds, and the people who were mixed in the officialdom were not necessarily bad to be keen on fame and fortune, so they might be able to make more political achievements, but it was the kind of official who pretended to be high, only knew how to feast and drink the mountains and forests every day, and chanted the wind and the moon was not beneficial to the people.

After the matter was settled, the two talked about it in detail, the Liang family's business is getting bigger and bigger, the invention of the water-powered loom, so that the Liang family's workshop suddenly expanded by two times, and the sales are not limited to the mainland and overseas of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that the Hexi Corridor has been recovered, the land Silk Road is smooth again, the Liang family will naturally not let go of a trade route, and now it is Di Qing who guards the Yumen Pass, and the Liang family merchants have been taken care of to some extent, Liang Qingcheng in Lanzhou in addition to setting up shops, in addition to contacting Hu Shang, also set up a caravan with 500 camels, ready to go to Xizhou Uighurs, the Black Khanate and other places.

Not only Di Qing, but now almost all the garrisons in the northwest are brought out by Xu Qing, in addition, it is estimated that the Liang family caravan is on the territory of the Uighurs and the Black Khanate in Xizhou, and it is as effective as playing Xu Qing's signboard, the Hu people advocate force, and Xu Qing's destruction of the remnants of Western Xia in one fell swoop can definitely give these neighbors a full deterrent!

Early the next morning, the prefect of Suzhou rushed to Liang's house in person, Xu Qing came to Suzhou as a sī person, he didn't dare to make too much pomp, only brought a few domestic servants, came in civilian clothes, for the Liang family, Xu Qing gave him enough face, personally greeted at the second gate, and was so shocked that he bowed down again and again.

The Liang family held a banquet, invited Xu Qing as a matchmaker, and the two sides officially exchanged wedding stickers, even if this family affair was so decided, just wait for the Liang family to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, and then they can marry the door.

Mo Zhaoping also recognized Xu Qing's name in disguise through this marriage of his children.

Xu Qing doesn't have much in the local area now, and he also intends to cultivate some local officials to be branches and leaves, along the way, he always plays a red face, and he has collected a few local officials with good political performance!

As soon as the dust settles on the reform of the DPRK and China, many new policies will also be launched, and if there is no local root system and branches, it will have to be like the backlash caused by the last green seedling payment, all of which have to rely on Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan, but they can only resign themselves to fate, which is too dangerous!

"Bao Zheng is an upright and resolute person, when Mo Zhizhou lays off redundant personnel this time, I hope that all interference can be eliminated and those mediocre talents will be cut, so as not to be entangled by Bao Zhizhi, otherwise it will be difficult to say anything even if it is the official at that time, and besides, the imperial court will soon carry out a performance assessment, if Mo Zhizhou can't keep some officials down, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any outstanding political achievements."

Since he was under the door, Xu Qing couldn't help but remind him of two sentences, Mo Zhaoping got up and replied respectfully: "Under the publicity of the country, the lower officials must do it, and they will never dare to live up to the teachings of the national prince, the national government's governance and financial management are second to none in my Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what the national government thinks of Suzhou, can you ask the national government for some advice, if the lower officials have a gain, they will never dare to forget the great kindness of the national prince." ”

Xu Qing smiled secretly, the example of Runzhou is there, because of Xu Qing's order, Runzhou has changed a year, Wei Lingyun and Yan Zhixing have become dazzling political figures, it is impossible to say that Mo Zhaoping is not a little envious.

"In fact, each place has its characteristics and strengths, as long as the strengths of Suzhou are found out, guided, and supported as much as possible, the same can have no worse than Runzhou's political achievements, Suzhou textile industry has a good foundation, Suzhou embroidery is famous all over the world, Mo Zhizhou as long as this aspect purifies the management of the government, to avoid workshop merchants from being exploited by illegal officials, and within their own capabilities, to provide some policy convenience, the official believes that not only Suzhou's local textile industry can develop rapidly, Even some workshops from other places will rush to Suzhou to settle down;

You and I are officials in the same dynasty, in fact, there is no need to deny that the exploitation of merchants and handicraft workshops by officials at all levels is extremely serious, in this case, if Mo Zhizhou can turn Suzhou into a pure land, what kind of results will it be, there is no need to say more about it! ”

"What the national government says is reasonable, but it is just ......"

"Okay, you don't have to be afraid of offending anyone, as long as you act right, this official will help you eliminate some unnecessary interference!"

"Xie Guogong, the lower official ......"

In fact, many local officials do not want to display their talents and make some unusual political achievements, but the interests involved in them are often not something they can deal with, just like Xu Qing said, if Mo Zhaoping really wants to turn Suzhou into a pure land without exploitation, it will definitely offend a lot of vested interests, if there is no strong support from the top, it is estimated that he has not yet purified the Suzhou officialdom, and he will be given a clean house by others first!。
