Judging by the old, dilapidated appearance of the painting. I guess it's been some years.

What is drawn above, is not the place. It is the South Lake of Yancheng.

On a lonely boat, a fisherwoman with long hair fluttering slowly approached with an oar.

Although the appearance of the woman in the painting has long been blurred and unclear, Sima Liang feels that this should be Xu Wangshan's wife. And the painter should be Xu Wangshan himself.

I didn't expect this ordinary couple to have such a romantic past. That's good.

Sima Liang has met for the first time so far, and it may be a free marriage couple. So he was a little curious.

"Xu Wangshan, you and your wife. Wasn't it introduced by an elder or someone else? ”

"Huh? Why did the prince ask that? Xu Wangshan, who was busy on the stove, heard a puzzled voice.

"Ask, you say. There are so many problems. ”

"Oh, in Xia and Madame, it is indeed a meeting in Pingshui. Then they came together inexplicably. ......" Xu Wangshan replied.

I'm just asking, not what I've experienced. How can Xu Wangshan talk so energetically.

Sima Liang was just curious, but he didn't expect Xu Wangshan to come hard. Began to talk about the past.

"Xu ......" Sima Liang planned to say something to stop him.

Crunch.

The door was pushed open. Madame walked in. The other party seemed to be frozen outside, so he stomped his feet as soon as he came in.

Seeing that the hostess of the story was coming, Sima Liang was embarrassed to say it again. He looked at Qin Xian Ling and smiled awkwardly. Then the other person smiled in response.

"Xu Wangshan, what are you talking about? Shame on you, don't talk about it, shut up. As soon as she heard what Xu Wangshan said, Mrs. was extremely ashamed and angry.

"What's bad to say, it's all ......"

Xu Wangshan replied disappreliantly, but before he finished speaking, he was covered by his wife. Then she leaned into Xu Wangshan's ear and whispered something.

Faced with this situation, Sima Liang and Qin Xianling looked at each other silently.

Since his wife returned, Xu Wangshan left the stove and sat down at the table.

"Laughing." Xu Wangshan scratched his head in embarrassment, and his eyes still peeked at his busy wife.

"It doesn't matter. If you have anything to say, say it. I'll have to go back early after dinner. Otherwise, the family will be worried. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it below." Xu Wangshan put away his embarrassment and became serious.

"Recently, Yanming Beach has been docked, and I have encountered some things. Some of them are rather strange, so I want to talk to the prince. ”

"First of all, there are a lot of fresh faces on Yanming Beach. Most of them are from Surabaya country. In terms of time, it is estimated that it is calculated. I arrived in the two days of docking. There are also some people from the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River who also come to Yanming Beach. As for what to do, it is not clear. ”

"Secondly, the Shi family seems to be a little wrong. It remains to be seen what they load on the ships not trade goods, but more valuable goods. ”

"Finally, those smugglers that you asked to let go before. Recently, I've been a little presumptuous.,I want to punish it in the next place.。 Otherwise, some smugglers who are high and restrained may be rampant again. ”

Hear so much and don't know the information. Sima Liang's face was solemn. He pondered for a while, then looked at Xu Wangshan.

"This information is really important. The first two things, you just leave it alone for the time being. Just observe for yourself. If there's any change, tell me again. As for the last thing, let's knock it out. After all, this is my realm, and everything must have a degree. ”

"Okay. I know it under it. Xu Wangshan nodded.

……

After Sima Liang and Xu Wangshan chatted for a few words, the meal was almost ready. So Xu Wangshan helped his wife to deliver food.

Even if Xu Wangshan specially ordered. In the end, there was still not much food on the table. Most of the ingredients are also pickled.

It can be said that it is far from the king's mansion.

"Lord Wang, the hospitality is not good, so let's barely eat some." Madame was a little embarrassed, but she still beckoned Sima Liang to move the chopsticks first.

"It's good that it's okay. I haven't eaten a lot of it. Sima Liang picked up a piece of food and brought it to his mouth.

Ordinary ingredients, monotonous seasonings. The dishes that come out of this way are really average. But Sima Liang is not very picky, so he thinks it's okay.

"It's not bad, it's not bad. Mrs. Xu, sit down and eat together. It's time to talk, we're all talking. The weather is cold, the food is cold quickly, and it is estimated that it will not taste good when we leave. Sima Liang motioned for Mrs. Xu, who was about to leave, to sit back.

When Sima Liang and Xu Wangshan were chatting. I noticed that Mrs. Xu had been evasive. Obviously, I thought that what Sima Liang and Xu Wangshan said was a secret.

"That's not good." Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Wangshan.

"Sit down, the prince has said so." Xu Wangshan, who knew Sima Liang's personality, knew the other party's personality and grabbed Mrs. Xu and let her sit beside him.

"Don't pull it. The two adults watched. ”

"It's a nuisance."

……

watched Xu Wangshan communicate with his wife. Sima Liang and Qin Xianling were a little embarrassed, so that when they ate next, the four of them didn't say a word.

After a full meal, Sima Liang stood up.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xu for your hospitality. It was getting late, and Qin Xianling and I left first. You don't have to send it. ”

"Lord Wang, Qin County Order, go slowly."

……

Xu Wangshan and Mrs. Xu were sent to the door.

It was time to eat, and it was completely dark.

Since the snow was still falling, it wasn't very bright outside.

"This couple is quite compatible." On the way back to the carriage, Sima Liang complained.

"Yes, I've only heard about it before. Looking at it now, the relationship between Xu Wangshan and Mrs. Xu is indeed very good. It's really envious of others. Qin Xian Ling sighed, looking like this person was himself.

It seems that Qin Xianling is also a person with a story. It doesn't seem like a good thing, though. I won't ask any more.

I have to go back quickly, Bao'er should be worried. Thinking of his wife and children at home, Sima Liang smiled.

"Lord Wang, are you going to leave?" A person sprang out of the darkness and walked in front of Sima Liang.

"Coachman. You're scared the hell out of me. By the way, I forgot about you. I'm sorry. Sima Liang looked at the driver who was frozen and felt very guilty.

"It's okay, lord. Let's go, it's going to be snowing heavily, and there's a lot of accumulation on the road. If it's late, it's not easy to go. The coachman trembled and walked to the carriage.

Being reminded like this, Sima Liang stretched out his hand and caught the snowflake. With a faint light. He saw the sparkle in his palm.

It's a lot bigger than it was in the morning. If this is the next night, it is estimated that it will accumulate a lot again.

Sima Liang exhaled and looked up at the sky. Subsequently, he took Qin County's order and got into the carriage.

The way back is much slower. And it's a lot of stop-and-go.

When Sima Liang returned to the palace, there were few shops around that were still open.

"Send the county order, and you can go back. I've worked hard for you today, and I'll let Fufeng reward you when I get back. Sima Liang instructed the coachman.

"Thank you, goodbye, prince."

……

"Lord Wang, you can count it back. Bao'er Niangniang was in a hurry. She's still sitting in the antechamber waiting for you. ”
