Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Small Town

Pingqiu is in the southernmost part of Chenliu County, and it will take two days to speed up and three days to slow down, and the newly appointed prefect of Pingqiu will arrive.

"Miss, the four princes are in the palace to clean up the mess for the Hou prefect, you might as well go to the mansion, and when the new prefect arrives, then go outside the city with the four princes."

Hou Yi followed Su Zijin's side, saw her get on the horse, and came over to persuade her.

Su Zijin was strange, Hou Yi was not a person without a target, and looked at Hou Yi at the moment, "What's wrong?" ”

Hou Yi's eyes glanced at the Hou Prefect's Mansion at the entrance of the post station, and his intention was self-evident, he was afraid that the Hou Prefect would be angry and do something out of the ordinary.

Su Zijin's eyes followed Hou Yi's past, and then saw the prefect who was like a female grasshopper. He no longer had the spirit to accompany everyone to the field on the first day, the uncoordinated long hair on his face became messy, his face was red and black, and when he saw Su Zijin's gaze, he suddenly got up and stood up to look at Su Zijin, his eyes were full of condemnation and hostility.

"It's her, right, this little slut, she actually has a black hand behind her back, see how I clean her up!"

Suddenly, a person appeared on the side of the Hou Governor's Mansion, and rushed in the direction of Su Zijin with his teeth and claws, and Hou Yi stood in front of Su Zijin, facing this spicy woman.

This woman looks the same as the appearance of the Hou Governor's Mansion, revealing sloppiness, as if she has not slept well in the past few days, her eyes are tired and dull, and there is a bubble at the corner of her mouth, only when she faces the enemy, this little girl who is sitting on a horse and comes from nowhere, her eyes are full of malice.

Governor Hou didn't seem to know how this woman suddenly appeared, and when he saw her pounce on Su Zijin, he hurriedly ran over to stop her, but was thrown away by the woman, but fortunately, her elastic stomach was on the ground and she was not injured. When he got up again and wanted to stop the woman, but saw that the woman had already run to Su Zijin's horse, he watched the woman stretch out her hands, and the well-maintained nails on her ten fingers seemed to be shining with cold light, but she was kicked away by Hou Yi, who was guarding the horse.

The woman covered her stomach, lying on the ground and moaning with an ugly face, Governor Hou's face changed, and she hurriedly helped the woman up, "Cuifang, how are you?" Didn't you want to come! ”

The woman struggled to sit up, and the stomach that looked like Hou Zhifu was not too much to fold with difficulty, and the shining nails reached Hou Zhifu's face, "You are a wreck, the officials are going to be robbed by the family, and you won't let me come, if I don't come, can you snatch our officials back?" ”

Governor Hou inhaled slightly, covered his scratched face, and didn't dare to say anything under the woman's strength, the woman turned to look at Su Zijin, "Why are you robbing my man's official?" What did he do badly, you don't know, for this official, my man gets up early and is greedy for darkness, and others come over with silver, but he doesn't accept it, and he doesn't let our family accept it, just this point, I dare to say, no one can do it in the whole Pingqiu! It's just a servant who still has to collect three taels of silver from others, why don't you go to those greedy troubles, why do you have to find our family? ”

The woman's roaring movements, although this is a post station outside Pingqiu City, it is very deserted on weekdays, but at this moment, there is also a person watching from afar, listening to the woman's grievances. also recognized that the embarrassed couple turned out to be the prefect of Pingqiu, and they were even more excited to discuss it at the moment.

Su Zijin looked at the people discussing in the distance, and then looked at the two couples on the ground, and spoke patiently, "Lord Hou, don't you think this prefect is reluctant?" The fourth prince wrote a book and asked you to be a big Sinong again, and in the future, you only need to do what you are good at, and you don't have to worry about the decisions on the side, isn't it also good? ”

Governor Hou listened to Su Zijin's words, his face was much better, but he was a little unwilling, dissatisfaction and joy were intertwined on his face, making his face twisted, but his hand firmly grabbed his daughter-in-law Cuifang, who was about to get up again to provoke, and was silent.

Seeing this, Su Zijin didn't say anything more, and took Hou Yi out of the city.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the pond on the side of the road has been covered with a thin layer of ice at this time, and the work of clearing the zhang outside Pingqiu City is nearing completion.

Hou Yi rode a horse and followed behind his own young lady, seeing that she originally wanted to go to the village last time, maybe she remembered the little girl last time and wanted to go and see it, right? Walked to the head of the village and turned a corner, and rode aimlessly in the fields. In this early winter weather, the grass and trees are withering, and there are still old eagles crying from time to time in uninhabited places, which makes it more and more desolate.

The young lady was dressed in pink fur and shoulders, and was inlaid with fluffy fur edges, and she was not yet fifteen years old, and the noble girl next to her was probably in front of the fire at this time, laughing around the fireplace, but her own noble girl was alone, and she could only ride a horse in the desolate wilderness to relax. But looking at the comfortable appearance on the young lady's face, Hou Yi was entangled in his heart, whether to stay in Kyoto, drink tea and enjoy flowers in the inner courtyard, or be more comfortable wandering freely in the wild.

Su Zijin didn't know that she was extremely lonely in Hou Yi's eyes, she only felt the slightly cool air inhaled into her lungs at this time, and she was very happy. There is no one in the wilderness, only herself, and she can beat the horse fast or slowly, this kind of environment is what she likes.

After beating the horse and turning around, although Pingqiu is a small city and thousands of miles of plains, where there is water, there are also reed flowers by the elderly, which can be regarded as the scenery in Su Zijin's eyes. The scenery here is very simple, even the prefect is a straight person who will splash if she doesn't agree, Su Zijin thought, if she lived here in the future, it would be very good. Kyoto is just a little bigger, more prosperous, and really simple and livable, but it has to be such a small town.

"Miss, someone from Kyoto should be able to arrive today, should we go back first, after all, didn't you still make a bet with the fourth prince?"

Hou Yi looked at Su Zijin, who was happily picking reeds, and then looked at the sky and reminded.

Su Zijin couldn't finish his hand, looked at the reed flowers in his hand, and said with some disgust, "These reed flowers look good one by one, and when they are picked in their hands, they are like chicken feet, and they have to be a big handful to barely look good." ”

After complaining, Su Zijin took out a handkerchief and tied up a handful of reed flowers in his hand, pinned it to the saddle, and beat the horse back to the city. The wind blew the reed flowers away, and Su Zijin's hairy shoulders stuck to some fine pieces of reed flowers.

"Who's coming?"

Riding all the way to the yamen, sure enough, on the horse-tethered stake at the yamen, a new county horse appeared, and Su Zijin knew that someone from Kyoto had arrived.

Dismounted, plucked his reed flowers, Su Zijin ran two steps up the steps of the yamen and went up to the main hall.
