(Four thousand) Volume 10, Chapter 40: Thanks
Jiang Xiaoshu wanted to hurry up, but as soon as he made this suggestion, he was denied by everyone at the same time.
Xiaoyu complained: "The injury is so serious, and you are in such a hurry, I don't think you want to get better!" Wang Jinwei also echoed: "Yes, Jiang Gongzi, you have just recovered from your serious injury, and it is better to pass it slowly." Seeing that Sheng Yuyan, who was driving the car, let go of the reins, Jiang Xiaoshu smiled bitterly: "What's the matter with you?" Sheng Yu Shen wrapped his arms around him: "Let's talk about it first, the car is running too fast, if you accidentally beg for it, you can't rely on me." Seeing that everyone was crusading against him together, Jiang Xiaoshu had no choice but to smile: "Cheng Chengcheng, I'm afraid of you, just slow down...... The car slowly got on the road, and traveled smoothly and steadily for a day and a night, and then arrived in Wuling County early this morning...... At this time, outside the city of Wuling County.
As soon as the sky was bright, the car drove from the west avenue, and with one hand pulling the curtain, Jiang Xiaoshu's head poked out: "Whew, it's finally here, and my waist is almost folded when I sit in the car...... Hey? The little fish on the side woke up faintly: "Hmm...... Laughing bookboy, what's wrong? Jiang Xiaoshu rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully: "What kind of thing is that?" Ahead, Sheng Yu's voice came: "Welcome to your place." Jiang Xiaoshu was very puzzled: "Position? β
"Well, there's a cursive word on it."
"Is there a possibility," Jiang Xiaoshu tugged at the corner of his mouth: "That word is pronounced L, and the strength of strength and the beauty of beauty are pronounced." β
"Oh?" Sheng Yuyan turned his head: "But Liu Lingwei told me that Xiucai can read and read half of it, how can he read l." β
"Then if you want to say that, do you want to read chuaichuai uneasy? Jaw-dropping to be pronounced as jaw-dropping? The year of old age is the year of mozh......"
"Gegou Rile, I don't know how to play ball," listening to Jiang Xiaoshu babble a lot, Sheng Yuyan shook his head: "It's really tiring to read." β
"You guy usually practice martial arts, and a dozen is a few hours, but you are afraid of getting tired?"
"It's different, practicing martial arts is tired, and the more you practice your brain, the more energetic you are; When I was studying, my body was not tired, but my brain hurt a lot. β
"Take your time," Jiang Xiaoshu shrugged, "At least I've learned something, and I'm much better than the previous state of a stupid man." β
"I wasn't a fool before." Jiang Xiaoshu smiled, then looked at the banner that was hung in the most conspicuous place of the city gate, and said to himself: "Welcome to the ......" Xiao Yu also poked his head out to look at it, and then asked: "Does this distinguished guest mean us?" Who hangs this? Jiang Xiaoshu nodded: "It refers to us, this is most likely the banner hung by the Wuling County Government." Xiao Yu said suspiciously: "There is nothing else on it except for this line of words, how does the laughing scholar know?" Jiang Xiaoshu smiled mysteriously, but didn't talk, Xiao Yu glared at him, and was about to ask, but the cart was stopped at the city gate.
"It's Jiang Gongzi in the car? Laughing at the book? β
"It's me." Jiang Xiaoshu poked his head out. The official guarding the door respectfully clenched his fists: "My family has been waiting for the prince for a long time, please ask the prince to go to the government for a while, and enter the city along the main road, and you can get there." β
"It's embarrassing to let Lord Zhou wait for a long time." Jiang Xiaoshu smiled, and then the cart moved, and when he passed by the guard, Jiang Xiaoshu smiled: "This big brother, thank you for the banner you hung for me, thank you for your hard work." The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down and said, "Gongzi Jiang is too polite." The city gate opened, the cart slowly drove in, Jiang Xiaoshu sat back in his position, and stretched his waist: "Whew...... It's finally over, I'm done, master, I must have a good night's sleep. β
"Wow, smiling scholar, you're a liar." Xiaoyu poked Jiang Xiaoshu: "You are obviously very familiar with Wuling County, but you pretend to be here for the first time." Jiang Xiaoshuqi said: "It's the first time I've come, why do you say that?" Xiao Yu pouted: "If it's really the first time to come, how do you know that it is the banner hanging by the government to greet you, and how can you even know which official is hanging the banner?" β
"Ha, that's what you're talking about," Jiang Xiaoshu smiled, and then said, "Look at the city wall, if there are a lot of traces of water stains left." Xiaoyu poked out to take a look, and sure enough, she didn't understand: "What if there are water stains?" β
"The relationship is big - there are water stains left, I think it was a lot of rain on the Wuling County side last night, but the banner was dry and new, obviously just hung up after the rain stopped, it rained heavily last night, the road is mostly muddy, and today is not the day to catch the market, except for our party, no one will enter the city from the West City Gate so early, so this banner is prepared for us."
"I see, I didn't expect you to be so careful...... So how do you know that the person hanging the banner is a gatekeeper? β
"This is even simpler - today is September 14th, it is late autumn, and it is the coldest morning, but the coat of the official has been taken off and thrown aside, speaking slightly gasp, unconsciously fanning the wind with his hands, standing guard normally, where will it be hot like this? So that banner must have been hung up by them when they received the order. Seeing that Xiaoyu was stunned, Jiang Xiaoshu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, raising his eyebrows: "How is it?" Pretty chic, right? Xiao Yu sighed when he heard this: "Even if I deny it, you won't believe it." Jiang Xiaoshu laughed, very proud.
The sound of laughter resounded in the car, and Wang Jinwei couldn't help but cover his ears: "Jiang Gongzi, Jiang Gongzi, make a quieter voice......
"Impossible!" Jiang Xiaoshu flatly refused, grinning and said:
"Life is already like this - countless troubles and endless sorrows, finally have the opportunity to laugh, of course, laugh endlessly, laugh happily......" Wang Jinwei said helplessly:
"But will the neighbors think you're crazy?" Jiang Xiaoshu gritted his teeth:
"So I pulled the curtains so they thought they were going crazy." Sheng Yu Ember in front of him shook his head:
"Idiot."
"Hahahaha......" The car had not taken two steps into the city before it was stopped:
"The one laughing in the car, but is there a Jiang Xiaoshu boy?"
"Your Excellency?"
"The villain is selling rice noodles next to him, and I heard that Jiang Gongzi has just arrived, so he specially came to greet him on behalf of the neighbors."
"Greeting?"
"We are all honored to have come from afar, and we have sent you some gifts."
"We don't know each other, how can this be?" But the rice noodle seller shook his head with a smile, put the big box in his hand to the wheel, and left.
"Eh, brother, ...... wait" Jiang Xiaoshu called out to the man, but the man smiled back and left by himself.
The little fish next to him opened the box, and then smiled:
"It's all souvenirs, cloth and silk, and two small jars of wine...... It turns out that the laughing book boy is so popular. Jiang Xiaoshu quipped:
"The government greeted in advance, the people ate pot pulp, and welcomed them, I don't know, I thought it was the minister of the Qincha who came......" Sheng Yuyan turned his head and said:
"How so?"
"Naturally, it's because I'm more handsome and chic."
"Speak human words."
"If I knew, I'd still tell you this nonsense?"
"That's right." As the two were talking, they passed by a street in front of them, and another woman stopped the car, she seemed a little shy, bowed to the cart, put down the bamboo basket in her hand and left.
"Bacon sausages and preserved fish, as well as ......" Xiaoyu counted and was also suspicious:
"Yes, the laughing scholar and these people don't know each other, how can they ......" Jiang Xiaoshu didn't answer, but fell back:
"I'll make up for it again, and call me when it's time." The cart continued to drive towards the government, and every time it crossed a street, a common man would come and deliver something, and when everyone asked why, they just shook their heads, which made everyone baffled.
After receiving more than ten gifts, the cart was full, and finally arrived at the mansion, Sheng Yu Ember turned his head:
"The middle door is wide open."
"Get the car in." Jiang Xiaoshu said lazily. The carriage drove through the middle gate of the government and stopped at the courtyard of the courtyard, when a sound of brushing sounded from outside the car:
"Welcome!" This unison was good, at least from hundreds of people, and the scream was deafening, Wang Jinwei was startled, and almost jumped up and hit the roof of the car.
Xiao Yu whispered in Jiang Xiaoshu's ear:
"It's like going into a big kiln." Jiang Xiaoshu let out a long laugh, his figure flashed, and he was already outside the car, he pulled out his long sword and shouted:
"Jiang Xiaoshu is here!" Everyone around the cart was stunned, and the man holding the child in the lead was stunned:
"What does Jiang Gongzi mean by this?" Jiang Xiaoshu stared at the man up and down, only to see that the man was long and jade, although he was over the age and was not confused, he still had a long beard fluttering, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the little girl in his arms was only afraid that she was not yet ten years old, and she was even more pink, cute and exquisite.
Jiang Xiaoshu frowned and said:
"Dog thief! Blind you with this good skin, put the child down, and do it! The person was angrily reprimanded by Jiang Xiaoshu, and couldn't help opening his mouth wide, just about to justify something, the child in her arms spoke:
"You're so fierce! Why are you yelling at Uncle Zhou......"
"Ahh
"Xiaolan! Xiaolan! Sister is here to pick you up......" The child was also very happy, and hugged Xiaoyu's head with his backhand:
"Sister, why did you come, I'm so bored." It turned out that this child was Yu Xiaolan, after she was captured by Wang Kui, she was secretly sent to Brother Dulong, who guarded Wuling County all the year round, and Brother Dulong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Yu Xiaolan born so standard:
"Such a beautiful little girl, who doesn't want to sell it to be a child daughter-in-law? Push 10,000 steps, and the people over there in Yangzhou can buy them as thin horses, and they can also earn a few thousand taels of silver casually......" He immediately squeezed Yu Xiaolan from smelly and squeezed
The "pickled fish jar" was brought out, delicious and delicious was offered, and Yu Xiaolan was dressed up beautifully, hoping to sell it at a good price.
It can be said that it is lucky, although Yu Xiaolan was abducted, in addition to being very disgusted with Wang Kui, who killed Grandpa Guard, she was always quiet and never cried when facing other people's teeth, so she was not treated harshly from beginning to end.
Not long after staying here with Brother Dulong, the letter from Jiangyue's gang leader Chen Qiaochu arrived, although Brother Dulong regarded wealth as his life, but how dare he disobey the will of the gang leader, and immediately sent Yu Xiaolan to the Wuling County Mansion, but he was very puzzled in his heart:
"The whole of Xiangzhou knows that Zhou Zide of Wuling County is the most difficult to deal with me, and our Jiangyue Gang can't buy him with more silver, let me send such a beautiful fish to him, I really don't know what the helper thinks......" Yu Xiaolan arrived at the Wuling County Mansion, and Zhou Zide, the prefect of Wuling County, was personally responsible for taking care of her, and took care of her meticulously, it was only a few days, her originally thin little face became rounded, and she was clothed and fed every day, and she didn't know how many pounds she had gained, Zhou Zide himself was the prefect, But in addition to working and talking with people, he will come to the backyard to accompany Yu Xiaolan, accompany her to play games, tell stories, and be considerate.
Yu Xiaolan felt that since her father and mother traveled away from home, these were the happiest days she had lived, and the only fly in the ointment was that she did not have her sister Yu Xiaozhi......
ββ¦β¦ But now it's okay," Xiaolan grinned and wrapped her arms around Xiaoyu's neck:
"Sister is also here, let's go play together in a while, okay? Sister, let me tell you, Uncle Zhou has a lot of beautiful birds in the backyard, and they are chirping, which is interesting......" Xiaoyu hugged Xiaolan tightly and said gently:
"Okay, Xiaolan will listen to your sister whatever she wants......" Then she picked up Xiaolan and bowed deeply to the elegant middle-aged man:
"Thanks to Lord Zhou for taking care of her sister, Yu Xiaozhi, a folk girl, is grateful."
"Hurry up, hurry up," Zhou Zide smiled, picked up Xiaoyu, and then rubbed Xiaolan's head:
"This child is very clever, I don't have a wife and children, I have her as a companion, I am very happy these days, it seems that my withered heart has been nourished, if I want to say thank you, it should be me who thank Xiaolan is ......"
"Your Excellency is serious." When he learned that the child was Xiaolan who he wanted to rescue, Jiang Xiaoshu was shocked, and when he heard the conversation between the sisters and Zhou Zide, he was even more suspicious:
"What's going on?" Zhou Zide arched his hand, and just as he was about to speak, a small hand reached over and grabbed his sleeve:
"Uncle Zhou, don't talk to him, he's fierce, he won't be a good person at first glance......" Zhou Zide was stunned, and then smiled embarrassedly.
Xiao Yu hurriedly grabbed his sister's hand and reproached:
"Xiaolan, it's rude, this is Jiang Xiaoshu, Brother Jiang, and it's my sister's good friend." Xiaolan glared at Jiang Xiaoshu:
"He's a murderer, I don't like him......"
"The child is not sensible, I'm really sorry......" Xiaoyu was helpless, and as soon as he bowed to everyone, he hugged Xiaolan back to the car, and the voice faintly came from the car:
"Xiaolan, you can't say that about Brother Jiang, he has worked hard to find you......
"Huh?"
"Anyway, you can't talk about people like that, you have to apologize to people......"
"Excuse me," Jiang Xiaoshu rushed to the big lane, and then said:
"Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, the little girl who wants to beat me has gone to the sea, and there is no shortage of Xiaolan...... Bloom in the ashes! β
"Hmm." Sheng Yu Ash agreed in a deep voice.
"Take them first."
"Phewβ" The cart drove slowly, circled the patio, and then drove back the way it came, unhindered.
Looking at the cart disappearing into the corner of the street, Jiang Xiaoshu turned his head and said to himself:
"You are Zhou Zide, the prefect of Wuling County?" Zhou Zide arched his hand:
"Exactly, but I don't know ...... Gongzi Jiang is" Seeing the other party staring at his long sword, Jiang Xiaoshu did not shy away from it:
"We don't know each other, but you are pulling banners, and you are asking the neighbors to send me this and that, what are you thinking?" Zhou Zide was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"Naturally, I am grateful to Mr. Jiang for his great kindness." Jiang Xiaoshu sneered:
"I've done a lot of bad things, and of course I've done a lot of good things, but they have nothing to do with you, which one do you repay?" Zhou Zide shook his head, and then said to the hundreds of people around:
"Why don't you thank Gongzi Jiang soon?" Hundreds of people gave a big gift at the same time, and shouted in unison:
"Gongzi Xie Jiang shocked the Jiang Yue Gang and made a way to survive for us!"
