Located in the northwest of Shengxian County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Huiji Mountain, thousands of rocks are showy, ten thousand ravines compete for the stream, the grass and trees are caged, since the Han Dynasty is the Buddhist road resort, the Yangming Cave in the mountain, for the Ming Dynasty mind study master Wang Shouren to build a room to read quietly, admirers flock to it, the incense burner peak is a Buddhist resort, attract visitors like weaving, it is the incense vigorous.

At the foot of Huiji Mountain, under several giant trees, a tea shop is full of smoke, the kettle on the stove is steaming, and the aroma of scones is very attractive.

A group of people stopped in front of the tea shop, three men and two women, silver saddle horses, brocade clothes, at first glance it is a rich and noble family.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any good tea?"

The young man who asked the question hung a long knife from his waist, his figure was straight, and he was dressed in black and full of heroism.

The other two men looked like guards, dressed similarly to the men in black.

"Guest officer, the villain has high-quality cloud tea, boiled in a clear spring, but the price is more expensive."

The shopkeeper is about forty years old, and he watches people cook, and his face is full of smiles.

Today's harvest is on these people.

"Make two pots of good tea, and bring them all the delicious food, not bad for your silver." However, if the tea is not good, my eldest lady is not satisfied, and I will lift your shop! ”

After the man in black finished speaking, he put a small piece of silver on the table.

"Uncle, don't worry, you will definitely satisfy the eldest lady!"

The shopkeeper's eyebrows widened, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes opened, and he shouted loudly at the woman beside him.

"Old woman, you go get some food, I'll make tea!"

The shopkeeper and his wife were busy with their work, and the young man quickly wiped the table himself to make way out.

"Miss, Miss Gao, please!"

Two young women came in, graceful and beautiful, and sat down at the table, while the other two young men stood behind the two women.

The diners in the tea shop all raised their heads in surprise.

Such a beautiful woman, dressed in black, with a straight figure and heroic spirit; Another woman is dressed in green and plain skirt, tender as water, and her eyes are charming. Both of them are tall, with white skin and red skin, black sideburns, straight as gods in the sky, stunners in the world.

Among the diners, some people looked at them with straight eyes and drooled unconsciously.

"Is this a fairy in the sky?"

"God, how can there be such a beautiful woman?"

The prodigal looked at Gao Qing and Li Ruonan in a daze, turning his head around, not knowing which one to look at.

"Look at what, look at the dog's eyes that gouged out you!"

The man in black sat down at another table, just in front of the swingers, blocking their view.

The man in black frowned and looked at each other coldly, and the swingers and diners hurriedly lowered their heads, drank tea each, and secretly glanced at each other from time to time.

"Gao Qing, the scenery of this mountain is really good!"

Li Ruonan, who was dressed in black, looked at the clear water and green trees around him, still full of interest. She looked at the two men behind her and frowned.

"You go eat with Li Shou! The pestle is here, how can you eat? ”

Two men in black went over and sat at a table with a man named Li Shou.

"The view is good, but I'm too tired!"

Gao Qing, who was dressed in green, glanced at the dilapidated table and chair, frowned slightly, and had a look of hatred in his eyes.

However, she quickly returned to normal, and she disguised it well, so that no one could see it.

"Second Prince Qiu didn't come, are you a little disappointed?"

The tea was brought up, the fragrance was curling, Li Ruonan took a sip of the teacup, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This tea, it's really good!"

"Second Prince Qiu is just a scholar. He doesn't have much interest in sightseeing! ”

Gao Qing was slightly embarrassed.

Qiu Ergongzi is the second son of Qiu Qing, the governor of Shaoxing Prefecture, a nerd who is frail and sickly. Originally, they made an appointment to travel to the mountains together, but last night they suffered a cold and were bedridden, so the two of them had to go out together.

Her father and Qiu Qing are both officials in Shaoxing Mansion, both parties are interested in marrying, the family is right, both parents are satisfied, and she also feels that she will be compromised.

"The daughter of Yuyao County, the son of the prefect of Shaoxing Prefecture, a talented woman, a match made in heaven."

Li Ruonan looked at Gao Qing and smiled softly.

"Not interested? Wait for your family affairs to be decided, and when the time comes, how many babies will come out, see if you are still picky? ”

"You can say such a shameful thing!"

Gao Qing's face flushed, she looked around, leaned forward, and lowered her voice.

"You were delayed on the road for a few days, saying that you were in Jiangning. To be honest, are you and that Zhenguo Gong a few degrees of spring breeze? You have to take it easy, if you haven't married yet, you have that, be careful that you can't get married when the time comes. ”

Gao Qing's words made Li Ruonan's heart panic, and his face was flushed.

She looked at Gao Qing and finally held back.

"Gao Qing, have you ever had that? Who is that man? ”

Li Ruonan's panic was in his eyes, and Gao Qing secretly shook his head.

Men and women in Beijing get along openly, unlike Zhejiang, where the literary style is strong, and men and women are not kissed.

Gao Qing smiled and said nothing, Li Ruonan also became calm, and began to eat meatloaf, eating and drinking at the same time, very happy.

"This cake is good, delicious!"

"You, a young lady from the Zhejiang Governor's Mansion, haven't eaten anything, and you still care about these things?"

Gao Qing said softly and laughed.

"Delicious is delicious, everyone in the world is the same, and what are the big officials and the small officials!"

Li Ruonan took a sip of tea, turned his eyes to the outside of the tea shop, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

On the grass, under the shade of the trees, the beggar-like people, especially the young children, sat on the ground, their clothes were tattered, their faces yellow and thin, and they looked into the tea shop with wide eyes......

Tourists bypassed them in disgust, covering their noses or spitting in disdain, and the refugees swallowed their anger with heartbreaking expressions on their faces.

Li Ruonan's heart was inexplicably sour.

All the way south, all I saw was the withering of people's livelihood, and the tragic situation in front of me was just a glimpse of the leopard.

"Miss, do you want the villain to drive them away?"

The man in black named Li Shou observed his words and looked at the refugees outside the tea shop and asked.

"Forget it! Let the shopkeeper make more cakes, one for each person. ”

Li Ruonan shook his head, his expression a little gloomy.

"Ruonan, you weren't like this before. You never seem to look down on these poor ...... Person. ”

Li Shou walked away, Gao Qing looked at Li Ruonan in surprise, and the word "poor ghost" almost blurted out.

When did this willful and straightforward Miss Li change her sex?

"It's nothing, I just think they're pitiful."

Li Ruonan said embarrassedly, his expression was a little unnatural.

Seeing the difficulties of people's livelihood, she felt compassion in the south. This is a world of difference from her happy days in the capital, who were drunk and golden.

"Ruonan, there are so many suffering people in the world, you can't help them!"

Gao Qing whispered softly, his eyes swept over the refugees, and his eyebrows could not hide his disgust.

"How many can be saved, count as few. Let's have peace of mind. ”

Li Ruonan was embarrassed to finish speaking, but felt a lot more relaxed.

In the past, she was in no mood to mingle with those flagmen in the capital.

"Thank you, Miss!"

"Miss Bodhisattva heart! Live a long life! ”

The meatloaf was sent out, and dozens of refugees outside came over to kowtow and thank you, kneeling on the ground.

"Get up!"

Li Ruonan stood up and waved to the refugees outside.

She didn't go out, though. She couldn't stand the smell of those refugees.

The refugees walked away and began to eat, and some of them were so eager that they choked and coughed.

"The shopkeeper, patronizing to earn silver, doesn't give the people bread, forget it, don't know how to send some hot porridge out? Believe it or not, I asked my dad to seal your tea shop? ”

Li Ruonan, whose self-esteem was greatly satisfied, couldn't help but stare at him and reprimanded the shopkeeper of the tea shop.

"Yes, yes, Miss, come right away!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the porridge bowl and went out to give porridge to the refugees one by one.

The diners in the tea shop are shaking their heads.

This kind-hearted beauty, although her heart is kind, is too domineering.

"These slick profiteers!"

Seeing that the refugees ate porridge and kowtowed to himself frequently, Li Ruonan was satisfied, sat down, and continued to eat and drink.

"Ruonan, if you shout like this, everyone knows that we are eunuchs."

Gao Qing said helplessly. She looked around nervously and saw that there was no movement, so she was relieved a little.

"Afraid of what? Geng Jingzhong's traitors are still in southern Zhejiang, which is still under the rule of the Qing court. If anyone dares to make a mistake, I will let my father send a large army to destroy them! ”

Li Ruonan's voice was unconsciously a little louder.

"My Miss Li, be quiet!"

Gao Qing was helpless, so he only whispered:

"Hurry up and eat and drink, when we go back to Shaoxing Mansion, let's rest for one night, and then go to Yuyao tomorrow, and I'll take you to eat delicious food."

"It's a deal! I'm looking forward to going to Yuyao, and by the way, I will meet my uncle and aunt! ”

Li Ruonan drank a few cups of tea, and unconsciously his head became heavy, and he wanted to raise the teacup in his hand, but he couldn't do it.

"Ruonan, what are you ...... What's up? ”

Li Ruonan lay on the table, Gao Qing shouted anxiously, and when he spoke, he fell on the table with the whirlwind in front of him.

In a blur, the smiling faces of the shopkeeper and his wife shook in front of them, and Li Shou and the three of them were lying on the table, also unconscious.

Gao Qing and Li Ruonan fell, and the diners inside and outside the tea shop were shocked, and they took out the silver taels on their bodies and squatted on the ground.

No one thought that this tea shop would be a black shop.

"Guys, this girl is a good person, you can't hurt her!"

Some of the refugees were emboldened and shouted.

The grace of a meal, there are still people among the people who know how to repay the kindness and speak up.

"Fellow villagers, rest assured, these two girls are from the government, and we are heroes under the head of Hu Shuangqi Hu in Siming Mountain, and we only exchange them and the government for silver and food, and will not touch them at all, everyone can be a witness!"

The shopkeeper's fist salute is full of flavor of the rivers and lakes, but the silver on the table is correct.

"Take these two women away. Throw those three guys on the side of the official road, don't let the wolves eat them, and rely on them to go back and report the news! ”

The shopkeeper quickly gave orders, and the bandits began to get busy.

"Guy, tap!"

"Tap, don't hurt the two beauties!"

Among the diners, several merry people shouted in distress when they saw Gao Qing and Li Ruonan being tied hand and foot with thick ropes

What can I do if such a beautiful person is rubbed into my skin?

"Why don't you let the two of them go and take you up the mountain?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and several merry people were frightened and quickly retreated, with a smile on their faces.

"That's not good, my wife and children are still waiting for me to go home!"

"We are ordinary people, but we can't break the cottage rules of Hu Da's family to rob the rich and help the poor!"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Several horses were led out, and Gao Qing and Li Ruonan were put on the table. The bandits hurried away, and the refugees and diners rushed into the tea shops, grabbing the east and the west, and they were very happy.

As for Li Ruonan and Gao Qing being kidnapped, no one cared about them. Or rather, they don't have time to pay attention.

Only those few merry people, where are they sighing, shaking their heads and sighing.

Such a big beauty, I don't know if I have a chance to see it?
