"Yingying, I did it. After half a year, I was promoted to the fourth rank, and now I am... Huxian county magistrate, the eighth rank official!"
Ye Xiaotian cleared his throat, his voice was still hoarse, but he was extremely proud. In the past six months, he didn't say what he did or how many dangers he experienced. He just told Yingying that he did it. He did have this qualification to be proud of, except for some lucky ministers in a special period, there was no one else in the entire Ming Dynasty who was promoted so quickly.
"It's really you! I thought..."
Yingying didn't listen to Ye Xiaotian's promotion at all, all she could think about was "Brother Xiaotian is here!" Before she could say the word "dream", her eyes were blurred by tears. She rushed over, hugged Ye Xiaotian tightly, and listened to his heartbeat, as if a tired bird had returned to its nest, her mind was extremely peaceful.
"Why… "
Mr. Xia stood at the gate of the courtyard and shook his head lightly. The female university is not going to stay. If you stay, you will become enemies. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. Then he turned and left. Yingying didn't notice him, she just hugged Ye Xiaotian tightly, she didn't want to say anything at this moment, even if she hugged him forever, she was willing.
In the courtyard, the lights are as bright as day. Xia Yingying sat cross-legged on the floor, wearing spotless white clothes, she looked as clear as jade, like a bright lotus emerging from the water. The dusty Ye Xiaotian was lying on her lap, his green fingers were picking up the soft and sweet pastries, watching him eat was happier than eating by himself.
Ye Xiaotian said vaguely: "I have to go back early tomorrow morning."
Yingying's smile faded, and she said reluctantly, "So fast?"
Ye Xiaotian let out a "huh" and forced his exhaustion to say: "The county magistrate allowed me to rest for only ten days, so I can't delay too long. I'm here to tell you that I'm working hard, Yingying, I won't let you Disappointed."
"I trust you… "
Yingying said softly, her heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and kept trembling.
There is a round trip every ten days, and there are thousands of miles from Huxian County to Hongfeng Lake, and the journey is by no means smooth. Yingying has been to Hu County from Hongfeng Lake, so she naturally knows how difficult the road is, but Ye Xiaotian arrived here in less than five days, how did he come here
It wasn't until this time that Yingying noticed that Ye Xiaotian's chin was full of hard mustaches, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair had already smelled, his face was extremely haggard, and his clothes were stained with dust. It could be seen that he was originally wearing a new dress, but it became much worn out due to the dust.
Yingying hugged Ye Xiaotian's head tenderly. She is a lively and naive woman who is ignorant of the world, but at this moment, the soft motherhood in her nature is completely radiated. Ye Xiaotian is pillowed on her lap, feeling heavy. , her restless heart also became extremely steadfast and peaceful.
Ye Xiaotian snored softly, he was sleeping soundly on Yingying's lap.
"Miss?"
Xiaolu and Xiaowei walked in on tiptoe, Yingying immediately raised her fingers and let out a soft "shh".
Xiao Wei stuck out her tongue, and glanced at Ye Xiaotian who was pillowed on Yingying's lap, feeling a little envious in her heart. She envied Yingying, envied that thigh, she always felt that Ye Xiaotian's ability to win Yingying's heart was a blessing he had cultivated in several lifetimes, but now, she only envied Yingying who could serve Ye Xiaotian tenderly.
Twelve people, thirty-six horses, changing horses without changing people, five days and four nights, over thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, just to seek a side, just to say a word! This man is worthy of Yingying.
Xiaowei put a thin quilt on Ye Xiaotian's body, her movements were light and gentle. Xiaolu put three big pillows on Yingying's back, and gestured to Xiaowei who was stealing Ye Xiaotian from time to time, and the two of them quietly backed out with their snow-white feet bare.
At this time, even if there is a universe, four people are too many, so it should be a world of two people.

A quiet room with empty walls. Only the ink-stained word "Tao" hangs in front of it. But Li Xuancheng, who had always sought, sought, and realized the Tao, was now fully focused on the piece of beautiful jade in front of him.
The beautiful jade is pure and clear. This is the piece of uncut jade that is as tall as a person that he bought in Jinling. When he cut open the stone skin, there was a large piece of white jade that was as tall as a person. Below, is gradually becoming a person, a very beautiful woman.
Anyone who has seen Yingying before, seeing this white jade beauty at this time, must be able to recognize that what Li Xuancheng is carving is exactly Yingying's appearance. Li Xuancheng was extremely serious, his movements were gentle and focused, just like Yingying who was gently stroking Ye Xiaotian's cheek at this time.
Even if it's just a wrinkle in the corner of his clothes, he has devoted all his efforts to making it perfect. The beauty gradually became delicate and realistic under his knife, and the stunning beauty of the country and city gradually appeared.
Human beings, the spirit of all things, have too many temptations, so a persistent heart becomes very valuable. However, sometimes if you are too persistent when you should not be persistent, you can only walk into the abyss of pain. It is a rare attachment for an uncle who has enjoyed fine clothes, food, wealth and splendor since he was a child to always stick to the Tao, and when this attachment is transformed into love for a woman, it will become even more indestructible.
But attachment can be a blessing or a curse, and attachments that should not be persisted are the root of suffering. The Buddha said: Perseverance is suffering. All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot be proved because of delusion and persistence. Li Xuancheng, who was devoted to seeking the Tao, seemed to enjoy it.
However, is he really unable to extricate himself? If he doesn't abandon this skin for a day, he will inevitably suffer from many disturbances in this world. Li Xuancheng was obsessively stroking that smooth, soft and flawless face, when suddenly he frowned, and an uncontrollable itching came from his lower body.
Not long after he returned to Beijing, he suffered from a strange disease. When the disease occurred, his lower body was extremely itchy. It couldn't be stopped until it was scratched. Now it has begun to fester. Because it was a hidden disease, Li Xuancheng was ashamed to seek medical treatment at first, but later he was really unbearable in pain, so he sought help from some famous doctors.
However, most doctors have never seen this kind of strange disease, so they can only speculate and prescribe some prescriptions based on the reaction when the disease occurs, which is effective in relieving the pain, but it does not cure the symptoms. The itching came again, Li Xuancheng couldn't stand it anymore, the carving knife in his hand fell to the ground with a jingle, and he rushed out staggeringly.

"The mountain is high, and the moon is small. The moon is small, He Jiaojiao! My thoughts are far away. I don't see each other for a day, and my heart is quiet. Picking bitterness, picking bitterness, in the south of the mountain. Worrying, how can it be..."
The sky turned white, the crescent moon gradually disappeared, Ye Xiaotian was still sleeping in Yingying's arms, Yingying held him in her arms, but her heart drifted far away, because she knew that when the day was bright, her lover would be On the way home, her thoughts will still be tied to that distant place.
Outside, the brothers of the Xia family yawned, gestured to each other, and quietly retreated. Mr. Xia knew that his daughter was willful and bold, and he was afraid that she would do something irreversible. If she was married, she would have to marry, or if she didn’t marry, she would have to marry, so he sent all his sons to watch over him. If there is a change, it will inevitably be a bitter meal. I feel sorry for these brothers, sleeping in the open for the sake of the little girl.
In fact, Mr. Xia has gradually begun to accept Ye Xiaotian from the bottom of his heart. Even if Ye Xiaotian can't go any further, he will still be the county magistrate when the two-year period comes. He has shown his ability and determination, such a man is worthy of his baby.
But since that promise has not yet expired, he really wants to read on and see where Ye Xiaotian will go. Maybe, Ye Xiaotian will give him a surprise.
Ye Xiaotian woke up leisurely when the rooster crowed. Yingying bit her lip, wishing she could rush out and slaughter that big rooster right away, if it didn't wake up Brother Xiaotian, he could still sleep for a while.
"Yingying, you... just sat there all night?"
Ye Xiaotian was so exhausted, he managed to reach Hongfeng Lake in one breath, his body seemed to be falling apart, lying on the soft and firm thighs, smelling the faint fragrance of virgins on Yingying's body, unconsciously He fell asleep, but he didn't want to open his eyes and it was dawn, and Yingying still maintained the posture when he fell asleep.
Yingying's legs were already numb, but she was very satisfied and happy in her heart. This night was long and short, but no matter what, it left an unforgettable memory in her life.
Ye Xiaotian still left early in the morning, like yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday. But this time he had a hot breakfast, and it was served by Miss Xia herself.
When he got on the horse, his hips immediately felt sore. After riding the horse for several days, the pain in his hip bones was unbearable, and the skin on the inside of his thigh was worn out. Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed, he didn't want Yingying to worry about him.
"I'm leaving!" Ye Xiaotian said brightly, and Xiang Yingying raised his horsewhip handsomely: "Wait for me, I will be back, sixth grade official, eighth sedan chair, I will pick you up!" Yingying was elated, He smiled brightly at Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian whipped his horse and led his eleven guard knights on the way home. Yingying watched her man gallop away with his horse and whip, and her heart blossomed. Every woman who is in love will have flowers blooming in her heart, and before she knows it, her clothes will be covered with the fragrance of flowers.
Hu County, in Master Wang's house, a man in Tsing Yi stood respectfully in a dark study room, there was the sound of rain outside the window.
Master Wang held a volume of books, and said indifferently: "Xie Chuanfeng's chariot and horse shop has a large number of mules, horses, and vehicles sold by the government in order to pay the money of the merchants and the wages of the hired workers. How much money can you buy by taking this opportunity?" , as much as you can grab, this road is our cornucopia."
The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head and said: "Yes! But Luo Ligao's car dealership is also robbing, do you think..."
Master Wang shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention to them. We do what we do and what we earn is the most important thing. Therefore, it is not appropriate to conflict with them now."
The man in Tsing Yi said worriedly: "Ke Tian's over there..."
Master Wang frowned lightly, and said: "It's a last resort to be attached to the Tian family, and with Miss Tian's move, even if I have been branded by the Tian family, I can't even admit it, I can only bite the bullet Go on. But now is not the time to fight Ye Xiaotian, we have to wait until he makes a mistake! Hit a snake for seven inches, if you don't make a move, it's enough, if you make a move, you will put him to death!"
"yes!"
The man in Tsing Yi bowed and agreed, and when he saw Master Wang lowered his head to read the book, he retreated quietly. The sound of rain outside the door suddenly rushed into the study, and he was pushed out again. The figure propped up an oil-paper umbrella and floated into the vast rain and fog.
