Any county government in the world has a certain number of public houses for people of a certain level in the county to live in. These public houses are generally enclosed within the scope of the county government, in the euphemistic name of preventing public officials from being in close contact with outsiders from hindering judicial justice.
In fact, if an official wants to connect with outsiders, there are countless ways to do it. What can a wall prevent? It's just a benefit in disguise.
Although the funds in Huxian County were tight, the imperial court still allocated a sum of money at the beginning of the opening of the Yamen. At that time, it also covered some public houses.
Meng Xiancheng has his own house, and he doesn't want to live in a public house. His public house has been empty all the time, and now Ye Xiaotian lives in it. This house Meng Xiancheng doesn't like it, but for Ye Xiaotian, it is luxurious enough, but it is not qualified enough to command his servants.
Ye Xiaotian returned to the residence, boiled some water to take a bath and changed clothes, when he was lying in the bathtub humming a little song and wiping the soap horns, he heard the sound of rain outside the window, after he finished bathing and changed his clothes, he pushed the door open, Sure enough, it started to rain, and when the door opened, the fresh air rushed in, refreshing one's mind.
Ye Xiaotian saw the rainwater flowing in the yard, and the raindrops splashed on the water surface like rolling beads, falling one after another. When he returned to the room, he poured the bath water into the yard, and flowed away with the muddy rainwater. Straw sandals, took an umbrella, tucked up the robe and went out the door.
The public house of Meng County Prime Minister is not far from the back house of the county government office, and is connected by a corner door, which is of course unreachable, and these officials whose ranks are only half a level apart, except when dealing with necessary official affairs, have always adhered to the principle that the king does not see the king. In principle, it is even more impossible to communicate in private, so this corner door has never been opened since the establishment of the official residence.
But Ye Xiaotian lived here, so he didn't care about the rules. Ye Xiaotian called to open the corner door, and the old man who opened the door knew him a long time ago. When he saw him, he didn't say much. , went back to the ear room under the umbrella. Ye Xiaotian turned to the corridor, closed the umbrella and put it on the side of the pillar, then walked forward.
After walking not far, they turned around a rockery and arrived at the residence of Shui Wu and Le Yao. This is already the deepest small courtyard of the county government. This courtyard is separated from the courtyard where the magistrate and his wife lived by a high wall. It is a long and narrow space, the residence of the servants who serve in the back house.
Ye Xiaotian walked down the corridor and saw Xue Shuiwu and Leyao watching the rain at a glance. They sat on the threshold, Shui Wu put her hands on her knees and held her pink cheeks, and Le Yao, who was next to her with pink make-up, was also in the same posture, the difference was that the big beauty's actions revealed a kind of tranquility and grace, as quiet as spring lake. But the little girl's posture made people feel cute from the bottom of their hearts.
Such a difficult movement is impossible for Panda Fuwa, but it also sits on the threshold. Although it is still young, when it sits with its fat buttocks, one third of the threshold is occupied, and two Holding a bamboo shoot in its front paws, it lowered its head and chewed, probably not interested in such tricks as watching the rain.
As soon as Ye Xiaotian's footsteps sounded, Fuwa, who had sharp ears and eyes, was the first to notice it. When she looked up, she saw Ye Xiaotian. Fuwa was overjoyed. Did not come to visit them. Now seeing Ye Xiaotian, Fuwaer is overjoyed.
Fuwa threw away half of the bamboo shoot, made a baby-like cry, and jumped on all fours to Ye Xiaotian joyfully. Ye Xiaotian didn't expect it to move so fast with such a fat and clumsy body. The savage charge knocked him down.
"Hey hey... ouch..."
Fu Wa'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, she jumped to Ye Xiaotian's side, stomped hard twice, then stuck out her big tongue like a puppy to lick Ye Xiaotian.
"Let go... go away... I'm crushing someone, help me..."
Ye Xiaotian screamed miserably under Fuwa, Fuwa was jumping on Ye Xiaotian's body happily, and Le Yao slapped her ass: "Get up! Stupid Fuwa, you are hurting Brother Xiaotian."
Fuwa jumped off Ye Xiaotian inexplicably, Le Yao and Shui Wu hurriedly helped Ye Xiaotian up, Ye Xiaotian moaned and said: "What's wrong with Fuwa, I've never seen it so twitchy."
Shui Wu suppressed a smile and said: "I miss you so much. These days, it always sees that the rhubarb raised in this yard is so affectionate with Father Lu who watches over the corner door. It probably wants to imitate it and give you some surprise."
Ye Xiaotian sat down on the threshold, smiled wryly and said: "It's a surprise, fortunately it's not that big, if it was bigger, it would break my ribs if it jumped on me like this."
Le Yao sat down obediently beside Ye Xiaotian, and asked, "Brother Xiaotian, what have you been up to these two days, I haven't seen you come to see me, Yaoyao misses you so much."
Ye Xiaotian scratched her nose, smiled and said, "Brother misses you too. But there are a lot of things these two days, so I can't come to see you every day."
Shui Wu sat down on the other side of Ye Xiaotian, and asked in a low voice: "Have you found a way to leave?"
Only Shui Wu knew about Ye Xiaotian's plan to hang up his seal and run away. Yaoyao was still naive, so they didn't even talk about her because they were afraid that she would accidentally say something wrong.
Ye Xiaotian also lowered his voice, and said: "I run around all day. Of course, I have to deal with errands, but also to get familiar with the internal and external routes of Hu County. Don't worry, I will be familiar with everything in a few days, but now The surveillance still hasn’t relaxed, let’s wait for a few days until they relax their vigilance.”
Fuwa imitated the way rhubarb was having fun in front of its master, bouncing on its hind legs, but unfortunately its tail was too short to wag back and forth. Ye Xiaotian sat on the threshold, and didn't give it a chance to circle around its master to show off its cuteness. Seeing that the master was only talking to the hostess and didn't watch its performance at all, he walked over discouraged, twisted his buttocks, and squeezed on the threshold. Sit down, and pick up its bamboo shoots…
When Fuwaer sat down, the three people who were originally sitting on the threshold were squeezed a bit. Yaoyao was still a child, so he didn't think there was anything wrong. Ye Xiaotian and Shui Wu were too close together, but he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling . Every little touch made him emotional.
Ye Xiaotian could smell Shui Wu's good smell, and when he moved his body occasionally, his thigh could touch her knee, and when the wind picked up, her hair would touch his face. So, his face was itchy, and his heart was also itchy, just like the water under the eaves in front of him, blossoming.
Everyone has the first youth sprouting in his life, no matter how he reads all kinds of worlds, his heart is like still water, it is the same when his love first sprouts. Men will never understand what a woman's state of mind is when she first falls in love, just as women will never understand a boy's mood at that time.
The man at that time was like the second senior brother holding a ginseng fruit in his hand. He was full of joy before eating it, and he was still full of joy after eating it. Knowing it is good, but not knowing how good it is, this is only one time in life.
Shui Wu seems a little uncomfortable. You can feel that there are some things that others have not done. This kind of artistic conception that silence is better than sound at this time is most likely to appear in love affairs.
She raised her hand unnaturally, brushed the hair on her sideburns lightly, and said in a low voice, "Did you report to the family?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes! I sent a letter back through the post station. Hehe, the current status is not without benefits, at least the postman dare not accept even a big son."
Yaoyao asked curiously: "Brother Xiaotian, what does your house look like?"
Ye Xiaotian heard the sound of the rain, his eyes seemed to gradually pass through the white mist, and he said leisurely: "My family lives in Quzi Hutong west of Xuanwu Street in the capital, and that area is also called Xingbu Street, because the Xingbu Street Nearby, many people who work in the Criminal Ministry also live there.
As soon as I entered my house, there was a long and narrow alleyway. There were two families on the left and right sides of the alleyway. That's my home... ”
Yaoyao rested her chin, looking confused, she couldn't imagine what a courtyard in the north looked like. But when Ye Xiaotian was talking to her, a pair of eyes slipped past Shui Wu from time to time.
Ye Xiaotian likes to look at the tender and delicate skin that is exposed when her beautiful neck is slightly raised, likes to look at the graceful curve of her chest when she is in a small shirt and short jacket, and the slender waist especially sets off the greatness there, even if it is separated from her. Wearing a light blue shirt, Ye Xiaotian can also imagine how ecstasy those two round and full balls are.
The two of them were sitting like this, Ye Xiaotian could even feel the heat from her body passing through the humid air to himself.
Xue Shuiwu was not unaware, even though she didn't turn her head to look, she could even see Ye Xiaotian's possessive and domineering like a lion patrolling its territory, but she could only pretend not to know, so her My heart beat faster and faster, and my face became more and more red.
Love is a wonderful thing.
Ye Xiaotian also learned the water dance, just like Leyao raised his chin to look at the rain, and said quietly in his heart: "My daughter-in-law, she is so beautiful!"
In the back house of the county government office, there is a small red building, the windows are supported by bamboo poles, the rainwater hits the banana leaves outside the window, and the sound of "porphyrin" comes into the room, which makes people listen to it with a sense of despondency. Feel. The county magistrate Hua Qingfeng was sitting in front of the window, listening to the sound of rain, with a lonely expression on his face.
Su Ya was wearing a small dress, sitting sideways on the side of the couch, her waist was slightly twisted, and the slender waist set off a round silhouette, which was tempting to think about. She folded several clothes, looked up at her husband who was sitting by the window listening to the rain, sighed leisurely, and said softly: "Ask mynah to make you something to eat, you haven't eaten at noon."
Starling was a cook brought from the Central Plains by Hua Qingfeng when he took office. He was not used to the local food and always only ate food made by starlings.
Hua Qingfeng shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Now that there is Ye Xiaotianding tank, the danger of resignation is supposed to be relieved. But if you can't resign, you still have to continue to sit in this Hu County. Meng Xiancheng and Wang Master, these two landowners are so easy to get along with each other? I worry about leaving, and I worry about staying, when will it end... "
