And so it was.

Xue Jinyi gave Ma Zhong next to him a look.

She said: "The farm is in front, and the time to speak is there, so why endure the wind, rain and cold, and entangle with the people of the palace for a long time?" ”

Immediately, someone chimed in loudly: "That is, if someone takes advantage of this matter to complain to the inspector of the imperial history, or even play the emperor, saying that we do not keep our duty and break into the palace without permission, their hearts can be punished, and we will not only lose our official position, but even lose our lives!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt even colder.

For the sake of a night's comfort, is it worth losing your official position and life?

Coupled with Ma Zhong's secret instructions, more people said that they should not live in the Royal Palace.

"We went to Liangzhou to negotiate peace, but we didn't come out to enjoy and enjoy the mountains and rivers!"

"Whether we are courtiers, it is better to remember our own duties."

"Just one night, just make do with it, I just want to have a shelter from the wind and rain and drink hot water."

Xue Jinyi listened, smiled slightly, and pointed to the house in the distance, "Everyone, it's almost there." ”

The crowd was filled with cheers.

Those few troublemakers wilted in an instant, and they didn't dare to continue shouting.

Xue Jinyi nodded to Ma Zhong again, and then returned to the carriage.

Those few people wanted to encourage everyone to make trouble, but they forgot that most of these people were personally selected by Ah Xuan, Liu Shi and others, how could it go against the will of His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

This small wave will be submerged when it encounters a large wave.

Moreover, they also easily reveal their identities, and it is much easier to find them in trouble.

Pu Yangxuan wrapped Xue Jinyi's somewhat cold little hands with his palms, rubbed them lightly, and then took the person into his arms and warmed her with his body temperature.

Xue Jinyi nestled in his arms with peace of mind.

After a short time, the convoy stopped in front of the farm, and the owner of the farm went out with his family to greet him.

Ma Zhong commanded the soldiers and horses to guard around the farm, and when Xue Jinyi got out of the car, he looked at the two dozen people at the gate of the farm, their age, dress and appearance were like ordinary people, and they looked respectful and a little afraid of the arrival of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

Pu Yangxuan was still pretending to be cold in front of people, and Xue Jinyi said with a kind face: "The owner of the village doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly, I'm waiting to bother you." ”

The owner of the village said: "The grass people's surname is Lou, welcome His Royal Highness the King of Chu to the cold house, it is windy and rainy outside, and it is very cold, Your Highness, please come in." ”

Pu Yangxuan then spoke, "Thank you." ”

Under the leadership of the owner of Lou Zhuang, everyone entered the farm in an orderly manner, because someone had been sent before, so the owner of Lou Zhuang had arranged for manpower, and first took most of the people to the guest room or farmhouse to rest.

Lou Zhuang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu rest assured, the Zhuangzi of the grass people is handed down from the ancestors, and the surrounding area is exquisite and good, and it is used for dignitaries and wealthy businessmen to stay and eat when they come here to play, so the place is enough to live." ”

Pu Yangxuan nodded and did not speak.

Everyone sat down in the Zhuangzi Hall, and immediately someone brought hot tea and snacks.

Xue Jinyi asked, "I'm sorry, Master Lou, is there ginger in the Zhuangzi?" I want to borrow your place and cook some ginger soup. ”

"Everyone, why don't you have a good rest?" Lord Lou Zhuang pointed to his daughters, "It's better to hand it over to the wives and daughters-in-law of the grass people, they are the best at doing this." ”

Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu cares about the hearts of his subordinates, and he also asks Lord Lou Zhuang to fulfill it." ”

When the owner of Lou Zhuang heard this, he was no longer polite, "The grass people asked someone to bring Xiao Langjun over." ”

He waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward and motioned for Xue Jinyi to go with him.

Xue Jinyi winked at Pu Yangxuan, took Qinglan with her, and left with her subordinates.

Coming out of the hall, after passing through a small door, walk along the path, on both sides are walls more than one person high, and the moss marks on the mottled stone walls show that this Zhuangzi has a lot of years.

Xue Jinyi asked as if chatting casually, "Do you usually have a lot of people who come to play here?" ”

The subordinate said proudly: "Even His Royal Highness King Feng also likes to come here to sit in Zhuangzi when the weather is good, and watch people hunting, there are many hares and deer in the large forest over there." You can also go to the river behind for fishing, kite flying, swinging, and there is also a field for playing polo. ”

Xue Jinyi saw that he was like a treasure, smiled, and asked again: "It seems that living here must be very comfortable." ”

The subordinate said: "After all, this is Gyeongju, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a rich life, so the emperor and the royal family also have a glorious face." ”

"Is there a Zhuangzi like you around?" Xue Jinyi naturally knew if there was one, but in order not to reveal that she was familiar with the surroundings of Gyeongju, she deliberately pretended to be so.

The next person said: "More than ten miles to the southeast, there is a big Zhuangzi, but ......" he snorted coldly and sneered, "That Zhuangzi is not as good as ours, and the residence is not as comfortable as ours, but because there is a girl in the family who is a concubine with a long history, she is very arrogant and has robbed us of a lot of business." ”

Xue Jinyi asked puzzledly, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Feng also going to play with you?" ”

The subordinate shook his head and said helplessly: "His Royal Highness King Feng and our old owner are old friends, so they often come here, but who let most of the big and small affairs of Gyeongju be managed by Chang Changshi?" ”

Xue Jinyi smiled at him comfortingly.

The subordinates only felt that this little servant of the king of Chu was very kind to his relatives, and he couldn't help but feel good, and he said more.

Xue Jinyi listened to the anecdotes about how many children he had from Lou Zhuang to Zhuangzi, and talked endlessly, and when her big pot of brown sugar and ginger water was boiled, he was still unsatisfied.

"Wow!" The subordinate took a deep breath and asked, "Xiao Langjun, this ginger soup you cooked is so fragrant, can I taste it?" ”

Xue Jinyi neatly filled a small bowl for him.

After thanking him, he blew a few breaths and drank them one by one.

"Drink well!" The next person's eyes lit up, and he smacked his tongue, and there was a spicy taste of ginger, mixed with a faint sweetness, just right to make people not feel spicy or too sweet.

"It's good to drink." Xue Jinyi also drank a small bowl, "Drinking such a bowl after the rain is the best for the body." ”

The subordinate rolled up his sleeves and volunteered: "I am familiar with the terrain in Zhuangzi, can I help you distribute it?" ”

"Then I'm bothering you." Xue Jinyi smiled, "However, can you point to a place for me to pack my clothes first?" ”

"Okay." The housekeeper ran out of the kitchen, looked left and right, and pointed to a firewood room embarrassedly, "Is it okay here?" If it's too dirty, I'll take you to the nearby yard where we live. ”

Xue Jinyi said: "It's okay, it's here, you get busy first." ”

"Okay." The servant returned to the kitchen, took out the pots and pans, and prepared to distribute the ginger soup.

Xue Jinyi and Qinglan came to the demolition house and commanded in a low voice: "Wait for that person to go out, you follow and see." ”

"Yes, slave understands." Qinglan nodded, untied one of the bags she brought, and shook off the clothes inside.

Xue Jinyi took the clothes and heard the movement outside, "You go, I'll just come by myself." ”

"Yes." Qinglan came to the door, looked through the crack in the door, and then followed.

The subordinate put on a hat, carried a bamboo basket with dishes and chopsticks, held a large pot in his arms, and walked out of the courtyard unhurriedly, Qinglan followed cautiously, watching him pass through the two courtyard gates, came to a road with small doors on both sides, and knocked on the first one.

"This is the brown sugar ginger soup ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Chu to be boiled, it is the best to drink after the rain, try it, it tastes very good!"

Although the little guy next to King Chu didn't explain anything, he was a smart person, so he naturally understood that he had to say something clearly at this time!
