The county seat of Yanzhi County is close to Qingan County. Xu Fengnian, the next county lord, Bo, didn't visit the prefect Hongshan Dong, but this time he rushed to the county town, he still had other plans. Now he doesn't even have a groom by his side. Xu Yanbing went to You Hulukou in Zhouzhou, who is overqualified and underserved, served as one of the eight captains at the border pass of Beiliang. One point, it is very scary, not to mention that he was Xu Xiao's confidant, in the Spring and Autumn Period, as a master, it is very common to give surnames to his confidantes, especially those who are reckless, but there are only a handful of them on Xu Xiao's side. , Liu Yanbing back then was one of them. It is said that Xu Yanbing was trusted by the king of Beiliang as his confidant in the two dynasties of Beiliang. In the eyes of outsiders, even Yan Wenluan, the commander of the infantry, should sell some face to Captain Xu. Now the king of Xinliang, the sixth in the world, is said to be two thousand horses for one person, who else needs to escort him? When Xu Fengnian led his horse into the city, he used Xu Qi's household certificate and his official identity on record, so it was unimpeded. When Xu Fengnian entered the county town, he saw many young men and women in brocade clothes, and they were all honest and honest. Shi Shi got off his horse and walked through the city gate. Even if he got back on his horse after passing through the city cave, he would not dare to ride his horse and run wildly. He no longer had the arrogance and wantonness of the past, and no one dared to wear the Beiliang knife privately. It must be the bloody smell of the whole Youzhou , The reason why it has not dissipated so far. The angry horse in fresh clothes that the heroes of Beiliang have had since ancient times has been cut off half of it abruptly. After Xu Fengnian entered the city, he still led the horse and walked slowly towards a rare house with mountains and water. In Beiliang, the only thing to look at is the level of the family, just look at the amount of water, the number of wells, and the winter snow. Being able to face the lake is even more remarkable. , As for Qingliang Mountain sitting on Tingchao Lake, since the owner's surname is Xu, there is no need to say anything.
In Yanzhi County, Hu Bo is a spy, he is still very young, but he has high hopes from his predecessors as early as his youth. It is not common for Beiliang to change from a spy to an official, but logically speaking, it must not be difficult. Hu Bo is very handsome. , who doesn't read much, but is born with a bookish atmosphere. The soft-shelled turtle spy in Rouge County used to be his master's subordinate, and he took care of Hu Bo silently, so he sent him a good job that didn't require much effort, but was very pleasing and beneficial to the future. At first, Hu Bo Hearing that he was a stalking eyeliner for a woman, he was not happy. He just obeyed others, which is his job as a spy. However, when Huber became the young and rich new shopkeeper of the silk shop on this street, when he saw that with his own eyes. After seeing the woman, he, who had no complaints at all, didn't even have any grievances. Hu Bo has seen many beautiful women, some are as coquettish as peony, or as clear as white lotus. The ancient well is not disturbed, but he has never seen such a soul-stirring woman, and there are things other than her appearance that Hu Bo can't let go of. There are very few appearances on the street. It is only a door away from the silk and satin shop to its disappearance. Huber doesn't even look up, and can only look at that moment from the corner of his eyes. In that dark courtyard, and knowing that she lived there, she was content. Huber has never explored her details, and only wants to be able to guard her like this, neither far nor near, day by day, and it is best to have a lifetime. He only knew that the woman's surname was Pei, and she lived reclusively. She had never had a social occasion with the dignitaries of Yanzhi County. There are many mansions of powerful people in Yanzhi County, and it’s not that the guy with a keen sense of smell moves on hearing the wind. On a dark and windy night, Huber personally knocked out more than a dozen people including the master and his servants. He strangled his neck, lifted it a foot off the ground, slammed his head against the wall of the alley, and passed out on the spot. That night, the county guard Hong Shandong got up in a hurry when he heard about it, and jumped into a rage in annoyance. Thirty soldiers in armor and holding crossbows in the city dragged away those dozen guys. The next day, the military sacrificial wine master lost his official position, and the whole family was expelled from the county. After that, no one dared to "fight" Yes, there are still some guys who want to "Wen Dou" to win the beauty's smile, but I haven't seen that door opened, and then I don't know what the county guard said, and the sluts who like arty in the rich and noble families also fell overnight There was no figure in the room, and the alley returned to cleanliness, still without a trace of smoke.
Today, Hu Bo skillfully deals with those rich women who wear gold and silver in the silk shop, earning the best money in the world. During the transaction, he does not know who is taking advantage of whom. The woman at the age of a wolf like a tiger teased, and suddenly caught a glimpse of someone leading a horse passing by outside the door. In the blink of an eye, she looked at that person from head to toe, not even missing the quality of the horse and the material of the saddle, and did not notice any abnormalities , Hu Bo was about to look back, but the man looked sideways at the shop intentionally or unintentionally, and happened to look at Hu Bo, the two smiled almost at the same time, and Hu Bo waited for the man to ride past and disappeared from sight. In the middle, he frowned, but thinking that there are many hidden hidden troubles on this street, and there are many masters who are more skilled in martial arts than him, so he stopped worrying, and raised the corners of his mouth, thinking that the young man is very good-looking. Rouge County, which is rich in beautiful women and men but sloppy, is indeed rare. Seeing the smile on Hu Bo's face, the women in the shop became more willing to spend a lot of money, but when they grasped the satin material, the palms that brushed the back of Hu Bo's arms became slightly heavier.
After Pei Nanwei moved into this courtyard, she left behind two hard-working young maidservants who served her personally, but they were not considerate. She only joked with them when she was in a good mood. As a woman, she said teasing words, asking them if they have a sweetheart, and if they need her to be a matchmaker, they always blushed and murmured, not knowing how to answer, Pei Nanwei laughed and turned around and forgot, it was not true Wanting to be the old man who tied the thread, over time, the two maids got a rough idea of the temperament of the mistress of the courtyard. At first they thought it was the golden house of some official in Yanzhi County. Later, they didn't see any man who could walk in In the yard, there is no such speculation, even their women can't take their eyes off the big beauties, if someone really falls in love with them and raises them here, how can they be willing to throw them away if they don't come to pamper and love them for a few months? Today, the maid Zhuhai heard a tireless knock on the door. At first, she didn't want to pay attention to it. She just regarded it as a blind guy who would soon be dragged away like a dead dog. Without stopping, Zhu Hai wondered, is there really such a hero who is not afraid of death in the county? She hesitated for a while, thinking that anyway, the hostess was in the backyard and couldn't hear anything, so she went to see who Sheng Sheng was so reckless. It was the scholar in the novel of wits and beautiful ladies who walked out of the book, and after he opened the door, he also smiled at Zhuhai, a maid who was separated by a threshold. And gentle and handsome.
Xu Fengnian said softly: "My name is Xu Qi, and I'm the boss of Bishan County. You, Miss Pei, know each other well. Please tell me, Miss Pei."
The servant girl was in a bit of a dilemma, she knew about Bishan County, and she also knew the size of an official like Yixian County Master Bo, but if he said that he knew her young lady, she would beat him to death. Mr. Xu, no matter how good-looking you are, that's not the reason for you to enter the yard ostentatiously. How dare she really bother Ms. Pei for this? If everyone registers themselves, they will have to report, the courtyard has already been broken by the gangsters in Yanzhi County, and the bluestone bricks on the floor of the alley have to be replaced. It was changed last time. Zhu Hai had doubts and doubts on his face, but he was unwilling to move, so he stared wide-eyed and refused to turn around. Xu Fengnian was also a little helpless with this conscientious little maid, thought for a while, and said: "The county guard Hong Dongdong asked me to come, if after you tell Miss Pei, if she still says she doesn't see any guests, girl, you can beat her with a broom." Me, okay?"
In Yanzhi County, Hong Dongdong is already the biggest official. To be able to work in this courtyard, the maid Zhuhai also knows the pros and cons. After thinking about it for a moment, she said earnestly: "My maidservant, go and tell the lady, and don't close the courtyard door. But you are not allowed to enter the courtyard without authorization."
Xu Fengnian nodded.
The servant girl turned and left with suspicion, not forgetting to turn her head to see if the young man was really honest, seeing that he was not moving at all, so she quickened her pace and boldly went to the backyard to inform the young lady. Xu Fengnian sat on the threshold, with his back to the house, looking at the horse on the street, which was neither a good horse nor a bad horse. As for the cold eyes with excellent patience in the hiding place, it should be ordered by the head of the county spy. Xu Fengnian can feel their heartbeats easily and clearly. Xu Fengnian has some feelings about their obedience to their duty. When outsiders mention Beiliang, the first impression must be the iron cavalry that is invincible in the world, and the one who rides Juechen. The white horse scout, but he is not familiar with the Beiliang spy soldiers created by Chu Lushan. In fact, over the years, there have been few deadly battles between the two armies on the battlefield. , but has never been interrupted. Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, turned his head and looked around, he couldn't laugh or cry, the maid actually carried a broom, and ran towards him angrily, she really wanted to kick him out of the house before giving up, no need to guess, she knew that Pei Nanwei was lying to him stumbled.
Xu Fengnian stood up, watched the maid stretch her teeth and claws and use a broom to use the long-lost dog-beating stick technique, and hurriedly left the courtyard gate, retreated to the steps, and smiled angrily at the courtyard gate: "Your surname is Pei, you are so cruel!" .”
The servant girl stood aggressively at the door, waved the broom, turned her head suddenly, and saw her young lady standing on the steps in the yard, with a smile like a flower that she had never seen before, without the coldness she had when she listened to her report. It was only then that Zhuhai realized that he had probably made a big mistake. He turned his head, with a sad face, and looked pitifully at the young man named Xu Qi at the foot of the steps. The young man who was almost hit by a broom walked up the steps with a smile. She took the broom in her hand, stepped over the threshold, and glared at Pei Nanwei who was gloating, "It's fun?"
The charming woman who lost her status as Concubine Jing'an before, and now doesn't even have a place as a rouge commentator, has a cold face again.
The servant girl Zhu Hai stood timidly behind Xu Fengnian, at a loss what to do. Another servant girl stood behind Pei Nanwei, looking at the young man who was not well-dressed, she felt as weird as Zhu Hai. Their ladies had casually refused the visit of the county magistrate in Yanzhi County. Master Hong heard that Afterwards, not to mention being furious, he didn't even fart, and waited for the answer at the gate of the courtyard, then turned around and left. That being the case, I am afraid that only the governor of Youzhou, who is a feudal official like the governor of Youzhou, is qualified, but where did such a young and high-ranking figure come from? The eldest son of the dignified economic envoy, Li Hanlin, the number one official in Beiliang Dao, Mr. Li, a prodigal son who won't change his money, has made great achievements on the border, but I heard that he is also a leader of the crossbow cavalry? Pei Nanwei sneered softly and said with a sarcasm: "Zhuhai, Meishao, you still haven't paid a visit to our Northern Liang King who visited Yanzhi County privately in a micro-clothes. After this village, there will be no such shop. Liyang Dynasty is the youngest Lord Shangzhu Kingdom, not everyone can see it if they want to."
The two maids didn't care about distinguishing the truth from the fake, and they knelt down in a daze with a plop in fright, especially the maid Zhuhai, who was just holding a broom to show off, burst into tears all at once.
Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Get up, don't listen to your young lady's nonsense."
The maids dare not get up when they are beaten to death, they would rather believe in something than in nothing, who would dare to take their own lives as a joke. Really, if that newcomer, King Tu Beiliang, who kills without batting an eyelid, killing their two maids is not as easy as exhaling? Besides, the whole of Beiliang is admiring the sixth expert in the world, the king of Xinliang. Wouldn't it be happy to let his cavalry kill people, and not happy to do it himself? Xu Fengnian put away the broom and said to Pei Nanwei: "I am the owner of Bishan County now, and I need a cook. Do you have any ideas?"
Pei Nanwei said firmly: "No!"
Xu Fengnian laughed it off, walked over to pick up the girl, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Pei Nanwei feared that the world would not be chaotic, and screamed: "Come on, someone is robbing the girl!"
No one paid any attention to her fanning the flames. The two servant girls raised their heads secretly, watching their cold-tempered young lady screaming like a madman. No matter how young they are, they are not familiar with things, but after all, they are both women, and they also feel some smells, so they dare not get up. He watched helplessly as the young lady was kidnapped by that young man who might really be the King of Beiliang.
When they got outside, Xu Fengnian threw her on the horse and led the horse out of the alley.
The spy Huber walked through the alley, then glanced lightly at the silent woman sitting on horseback, lowered his head, and continued on his way.
May the words start in the heart, and die in the heart in an instant.
Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the back that could not conceal his loneliness, and did not speak.
After leading the horse out of the city, he got on the horse, sat behind Pei Nanwei, galloped all the way, and returned to Bishan County overnight, and soon everyone in the county knew that Master Bo had a daughter-in-law who was so beautiful. I can't stop this grown-up from being proud of himself in love. Zuo Jing, the county magistrate, heard that everyone in the county government was talking about this matter, and finally couldn't restrain himself. It was the first time he took the initiative to bring wine to the humble house, and he was really shocked. Xu Qi, who is a poor family, has harmed the seed brother, and if he is Mr. Zuo, why not serve him as a female Bodhisattva? It's just that the woman who looked like a new wife didn't pay attention to anyone. After arriving in Bishan County, she just took Xu Zhubo to buy a lot of tea, rice, oil, salt bottles and jars in the first two days, and took care of the house with peace of mind. When encountering visitors who don't want to drink, she only makes a slight appearance as the hostess of the small courtyard, barely breaking the etiquette, and there is no more enthusiasm, only to see her handling those worthless potted flowers and plants , and feeding a cage of chickens and ducks in the corner. How slippery Zuo Jing was, he played a small game and deliberately asked Bo Xuqi to deal with some irrelevant old backlogs in the county government. That woman would also come slowly with a food box, and when Xu Qi had eaten the steaming hot Meals, and then bring back the food box, it's as simple as that, it can hook the eyeballs of the people in the county government to the ground, and I wish I could be stepped on by her a few times. Even the county magistrate Feng Guan, who had always had an eye above his head, began to chat with Xu Qi, a subordinate official, on time at noon, but when the woman showed up, he left voluntarily. As for the county Wei Bai Shangyu, these days are still not close to Xu Qi, but the clothes are changed every day. I don't know who started it, and called the woman Mrs. Xu. After she nodded and smiled, the name of Mrs. Xu was gradually repeated in the county government. He looked like an official, and when people invited him to drink every three days, Xu Qi would not refuse any of them, and he would go home reeking of alcohol every time.
On this day, it was the summer solstice. In the twilight, Xu Fengnian returned to the courtyard seemingly drunk but with clear eyes, and sat at the table. Even if he had already eaten, he still ate simple meals with her at the same table, which contained more vegetarian food than meat. God, it's always like this. During the day, we don't talk much to each other, and at night, we don't share the same bed that outsiders envy. Xu Fengnian is on the floor. If it is spread, it will definitely be a joy to the hearts of the people, and let those elders who have lost their souls feel relieved .
Xu Fengnian sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, Pei Nanwei cleaned up the dishes, and lay on the cool bamboo bench beside Xu Fengnian, gently shaking a reed fan.
Pei Nanwei said, "Is it the summer solstice?"
Xu Fengnian hummed.
Pei Nanwei stopped his fan and asked, "Are many people going to die in Guangling?"
Xu Fengnian remained silent.
Pei Nanwei raised his head, looked at the twilight, and said with a soft smile: "The good people in the history books are all perfect without flaws. As for the bad people, it seems impossible to do a good thing. If you die someday, Will no one write a good word for you?"
Xu Fengnian squatted on the small bench, still silent. He just took the fan in her hand, he is not as stingy as her, after shaking the fan, both of them can feel refreshed.
Pei Nanwei turned sideways, stared at him, and said, "Aren't you number six in the world? If you can conjure me up an acre or two of reeds, I'll let you sleep in bed at night."
Xu Fengnian said flatly: "Even if I'm a land god, I don't have this ability. Besides, let me sleep on the bed, and you sleep on the floor, what's the difference?"
Pei Nanwei laughed loudly, then winked and said: "You, you are the sixth best in the world for nothing."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Who says it's not."
