"But anyone?"

Kou Zhong and Ye Yongjia entered the village, he dismounted and looked into the wall, walked to the family that was still burning the lamp and asked.

"Someone." As soon as he finished speaking, a man flashed out of the door, about fifty or sixty years old, with a thin face, small eyes, white hair covering most of his head, and only a small black hair still on his sideburns.

"I'm sorry," Kou Zhong said with a smile, "If you don't mind, can you let the two of us spend the night for the night?" Naturally, the money will be given more, and it will leave tomorrow morning. Behind him, Ye Yongjia just arrived.

"I don't see outsiders here on weekdays, and I wish someone would come and say a few words!" The old man laughed.

Kou Zhong was a lot relieved, and when he turned around and saw Ye Yongjia stepping off the horse, he nodded and smiled at him.

"Then I'll be out for the night." Ye Yongjia stepped forward and waved at the old man.

"Hugh be polite, go in."

Ye Yongjia pulled the horse and went to the yard to find a shed for livestock, although the roof of the shed was still leaking, but it was okay, tied the reins tightly, and bent out with the trough.

"Where are you from?" The old man looked at Ye Yongjia who came out of the shed and asked.

While dusting off his body, he said: "We are all scholars from Jinan, and we have long admired the name of Nanjing, and we want to come here to appreciate the local characters." ”

"Scholars like you who have heard the wind and come here, I, a native of Nanjing, have seen a lot. Dare to ask the name of the foot? ”

"My name is Ye Yongjia, and his name is Kou Zhong."

"It's all a good name."

"May I ask the old man's name?" Kou Zhong asked respectfully.

"The old man's name is Zhuo Gaoyi, and he has been to private school for a few years, but he can't talk about much talent; I've been getting old lately, and I've probably forgotten everything I've learned. He smiled indifferently.

"Is there anyone else in the family?" Ye Yongjia saw that there was a room over there with the door closed, so he asked casually.

"Oh, there are also ladies and little daughters in the house, and I told them to go to bed early. Tomorrow, I can ask Clumsy Jing to cook you a meal to show your friendship! He said enthusiastically.

"Where to use. Caused trouble for the elderly. Ye Yongjia smiled slightly apologetically.

A few people said that when they saw that it was not too early, they all got up and said goodbye; Ye and Kou lived in the east room, made beds, and barely squeezed into sleep.

The next morning, the two woke up and went out of the house, and saw Zhuo Gaoyi coming out of the firewood room, holding a small bundle of firewood, and greeted them first

into the stove house; After a while, he came out empty-handed, approached the front and said, "You two get up early!" The lady and the little girl were preparing their meal, and it was not too late to leave when they were done. Don't let the old man fail in vain! ”

Before the two of them could speak, he immediately shouted to the stove room: "Leng Ping, you pour a pot of water for the two guests!" ”

"It'......s not necessary," said Kou Zhongzheng, when he saw a girl come out of the stove house, carrying a pot, wearing a turquoise jacket on her upper body, and an apricot-yellow Suluo skirt on her lower body, and her face was more upright, but it was a little yellow, perhaps because of the smoke and fire all day; But her figure looks delicate, and at a glance, she doesn't look like the kind of woman who lives a hard life and does rough work. Although it is not very dazzling, the pair of eyes are clear and clear, and the water is smart, and it can be compared with the mountain spring.

She came over, but she lowered her head, put the rag aside, poured water for the two of them, took the pot again, and walked back into the house. Kou Zhong slowly picked up the water and looked back at Ye Yongjia, he didn't drink the water, and he was turning his head to look at the door of the stove room in a daze, as if he was distracted. Kou Zhong then turned his head and smiled at the water in the bowl.

Zhuo Gaoyi pointed there: "What came out just now is a little girl, her name is Leng Ping, her age is seventeen, don't look quiet, but she is actually very smart." I wanted to teach her to read some books, but unfortunately I didn't have the knowledge, so I just knew some words. ”

"It's a pity ......" Ye Yongjia was still distracted, and he was talking to himself.

Mrs. Shaoqing Zhuo brought the rice, Kou Zhong ate a lot, and his master ate some roughly. After breakfast, the two went to the shed together to pull the horses, and at first they wanted to pay for the house, but he and his wife refused to do so, so they had to say goodbye.

Ye Yongjia flicked the whip, and the horses quickly left the village; But he was extremely reluctant, pulled the horse slowly, looked back a few times, and sometimes suddenly stopped to look back, refused to move, and was patted on the shoulder:

"This woman is only one side, and the master does not know what her heart is, if he sees the truth, I am afraid that he will be disappointed. There are many things, so why bother! The master still advanced to Nanjing City, and it was better to settle down. ”

"She has something in touch with me, maybe...... The end of this communal thing does not bring joy. He threw down this inexplicable sentence and walked towards the majestic urn city of Nanjing.

There is a wide moat around the city of Nanjing, and when you enter along the road, the broad city wall is condescending, as if you want to swallow people in one fell swoop, which is enough to make people tremble; After entering the city, more than 10 streets and alleys are intertwined, extending in all directions, and there are many people walking around during the day, shuttling back and forth, and the sound is full of ears and eyes. There is also the ten-mile-long Qinhuai, which runs straight from east to west, boats and boats are carried on the river, and several groups of boats are moored on the shore, and the sequence is distinct; Not to mention the vermilion towers, row upon row, and the plain white river houses are integrated, which is more pleasing to the eye than the blue tile and gray bricks of Jinan, not to mention five more colors!

In the past, Ye Yongjia, the heir of Ye Mansion, rested here, looking at the clear sky every day, and watching the boat tour, which can be described as the same color of water and sky.

"Master, it's been a pleasure these days!" Kou Zhong laughed and walked over.

"Yes," Ye Yongjia looked moisturized, "You have been out for the past few days, can you find out the news?" ”

"The master has really come to the right place in Nanjing!" Kou Zhong said and sat down, "There is an amazing actor here, surnamed Cai, named Xianqing, and the star of the play, forty-five years old. Because he sang in Nanjing when he was young, he was deeply popular, and he became a fan of Wang Wan and Shun of Jiankang County; Therefore, an opera troupe was opened in Nanjing, which covered a domain. The interesting team left Nanjing early, causing him to become bigger and bigger. ”

He took the tea, moistened his throat first, and replied: "It is said that this person is willing to accept bribes and help with things. ”

Ye Yongjia rubbed his eyebrow bones and groaned for a long time.

"You mean ......"

"Please ask him to go up to the king of the county, clear your grievances, and return to the name of Jinshi."

The two pairs of eyes suddenly touched each other.
