Xu Ping didn't speak, and said after a while: "I know, you went to see the deputy envoy of the king, and followed him this month." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info remember to listen carefully to the instructions, don't miss things. ”

Seeing that Xu Ping didn't say anything, the two generals were relieved and agreed together.

Watching the two generals walk out of the small courtyard, Xu Ping sighed. Liu Xin will not lose his sense of proportion in doing things, and as soon as the two generals say it, he basically believes it. Thinking of Wang Yan's demeanor today, then you can be sure that the cause of the incident must be on him.

As soon as he entered the Third Division, he clashed with other officials because of such trivial things, and when he was in a hurry to leave the city with official business, this made Xu Ping's first impression of Wang Yan very bad. Of course, he is the deputy envoy of the third division like Wang Yan, although he is ranked first, he is not his boss, he can only be vigilant in his heart to avoid mistakes.

Patrolling is not a good errand, and there are often various strict restrictions in order to so-called non-harassment of the place. At the most severe time, the transit envoy inspected the states under his rule, and only allowed to bring two retinues, and all the others were arranged by the locality, not to mention the temporary envoys like him and Wang Yan. Except for the bridge road box army who was brought out to do things, the actual entourage of the two people was two, Xu Ping took Liu Xiaoyi with him, and seriously said that he was in charge of eating and living by himself.

According to Wang Yan's mentality, he didn't know what was going on when he arrived at the place. This way, although it is said to be in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but in fact, the land is sparsely populated, and the people's livelihood is withering, where can there be any good enjoyment.

Director Chen pulled Director Zheng into the inn, all the way into a small courtyard, and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, this is where we spend the night tonight, there are guards outside, and there are all our people living around, you can always rest assured." ”

Director Zheng looked left and right and asked in a low voice, "The surrounding yards are all our people?" ”

"Next door on the left is Liu Zhengjiang, next door to the right is Pang Kongmu, what are you worried about!"

Director Zheng listened, then patted his chest and put his heart back in his stomach: "This is foolproof." ”

After speaking, he said happily to the little guy behind: "You go and tell the store, get some water, and we will clean our faces." I was stuffy in the carriage all the way, and my body was so sticky and uncomfortable! ”

Festive responded to the promise and ran out.

Director Chen couldn't help but ask: "The carriage has windows, and there is also an air outlet on the top, how can it be stuffy?" ”

Director Zheng turned his head abruptly and said, "Ho, what did you say!" If you open the window and are looked at by people outside, you don't know what will happen. You don't know, those who are used to being thieves will send someone to watch the news before they start, and if they find a flaw, they will decide how to start. I closed the window so that they didn't know the details and didn't dare to attack me. Alas, your family is not an agent's family, and you don't know these tricks of doing business! ”

Director Chen shook his head secretly when he listened, and Director Zheng was too cautious. This time, the team of the three divisions was so large, and it was not for him to bring a large amount of money on the road alone, but Director Zheng felt that there were thieves everywhere. This Qingping world, the core area between the two capitals, if there are thieves everywhere, what will happen to this world?

After a while, Xiqing led the shopkeeper into the yard, found a basin and poured water, and let a few people wash it.

Director Zheng washed and wiped his face dry, only to feel refreshed, and his mood suddenly improved, and said to Director Chen: "There are two bedrooms here, how do you sleep tonight?" ”

Director Chen asked curiously: "Naturally, you and Xiqing are in one room, and I sleep in the other room, is it possible that you still want to occupy it together?" ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that. Xiqing is still a child, and he will die of sleep when he touches the pillow at night, and he will not wake up when the sky falls. In case of accidents, I still sleep with you, let Xiqing sleep on the other side, and I can't take care of us. ”

Director Chen listened to Director Zheng's words, his eyes were like lanterns, and he really wanted to ask him if he was crazy. Being able to have their own room is to give them the preferential treatment of these supervisors, and they want to have more people together to live in front of them and catch the car!

Xiqing hugged the burden on the side and didn't speak, but his heart was beautiful. I've grown so big, and I've never lived in a bedroom alone, so I didn't expect to have a chance tonight. Such a big room, such a big bed, you can sleep as you want, you can roll as you want, how comfortable! Even if you get up at night, you don't have to be light-hearted, so you don't have to wake up others and scold.

Seeing Director Zheng's serious face and unwilling to give in, Director Chen sighed: "Okay, I have to rely on you." ”

But he said in his heart, if you bring money on your body in the future, you will not go all the way with you no matter what, and you will be tormented to death.

Director Zheng sighed, took out dozens of copper coins from his body, and handed them to Xiqingdao: "Go to the room over there and put down your luggage, go out to the market to buy some food and come back." After walking for a long time, I was hungry and didn't know when the store would open. ”

Xiqing took the money, quickly entered his room, put down the salute, circled around the floor, and cheered contentedly. Remembering that Director Zheng was waiting to eat, he stuck out his tongue, opened the door and walked out again.

Seeing that the two directors had also entered the room, Xiqing said loudly in the courtyard: "Director, I'll go to the town, if there are no other instructions, I'll go out!" ”

Director Zheng's voice came from the room: "Go early and return early, don't play outside." ”

Festive agreed, and jumped out of the door.

Bajiao Town is not only located on the Liangjing Post Road, but also between the Bianhe River and the Jinshui River, the land and waterways are just rushing, it is the gateway to the capital, and it is particularly prosperous.

Festive walking on the streets, looking left and right, eyes full of curiosity. Since he entered the Sansi shop as an apprentice, he has to be cautious in every move, he is the age of playfulness, and he can't help but feel depressed. Now out of the capital, it is like a bird spreading its wings and flying to the sky, like a fish swimming to the sea, and the world suddenly opens up.

After walking a short distance, I suddenly smelled the aroma of wheat noodles in front of me, and my stomach suddenly gurgled. Swallowing his saliva, the festive followed the aroma and soon walked to a steamed bun stall.

Squeezed to the front three times and twice, festively raised his neck and asked, "Master, what kind of stuffing are you stuffing this steamed bun?" ”

The middle-aged man who sold steamed buns said in a sullen voice: "Chicken juice buns, the craft I learned in the capital when I was young, there is a famous place in the Qianzhou Bridge of Daxiangguo Temple, two pennies a penny." ”

Xiqing secretly swallowed his saliva and said loudly: "I'm from the capital, and the chicken buns in Zhouqiao know what it's like, don't make me young." ”

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, where are there so many words! I've been selling here for nearly ten years, and every day before it gets dark, where is the mood to coax you a child! ”

As if he hadn't heard the shopkeeper's words, he took out ten copper coins from his arms: "Then give me ten coins!" Master, if I buy you so much at once, you will spare me two more! ”

The shopkeeper took the copper coin, but he couldn't stand the children's entanglement, and said, "Seeing that you are young, I will give you one more." I'm here at a clear price, make an exception today, you get the benefit and go away! ”

Festive was not annoyed, took a bun of buns from the paper bag handed over by the bun seller, looked down and checked, sure enough, he gave himself one more, and turned around happily and walked away.

Out of the crowd, Xi Qing took the bun in his hand, took one out of it, and whispered: "Let's spare one in my stomach!" It's still early, and I have a lot of money left, so let's see what else to eat. ”

While muttering in a low voice, he took a hard bite of the bun in his hand, and the fragrant chicken juice squirted all over his mouth at once.

Xiqing was so hot that he stomped his feet, and smiled: "It's really delicious, the master didn't tell a lie!" ”

When he raised his head, he suddenly saw that five or six steps away from him, by the Jinshui River, a little boy of seven or eight years old was sitting under the big willow tree on the bank, looking at him with his eyes. In his hand he was holding a vegetable ball mixed with chaff, the tooth marks on it were extremely fine and tiny, and it was obvious that he was biting down on it in small bites, and he was reluctant to swallow it.

Festive and playful, he raised half of the bun in his hand, shook it at the little boy, demonstratively, and then giggled and turned away. I have my own buns, so I can eat them as much as I want, but the little boy is reluctant to eat the vegetable balls, which is really funny. Although the three divisions are a little depressed, they don't have to live that kind of hungry days.

After walking more than a dozen steps, the smile on the festive face gradually faded, and for no reason I felt empty for a while, and I couldn't be happy anymore. He didn't know why, his young mind couldn't think of any reason, but he felt that he was very bad now.

Turning around, he slowly walked to the little boy under the willow tree, and handed half of the bun in his hand to the little boy happily: "Let's eat this for you, it's more fragrant than the vegetable ball, fragrant and delicious!" ”

The little boy looked at the buns, then at the festive ones, and shook his head.

Xi Qing looked at the half of the bun in his hand strangely, and suddenly realized: "Do you think I have bitten it?" It's okay, I'll give you a new one to eat, take this half back, and tell Director Zheng that I was hungry on the road, so I ate one if I was greedy. ”

After speaking, he held the paper bag with the hand holding half of the bun, and took out another bun with the other hand.

The little boy still shook his head and said in a low voice: "Daddy said that we are not beggars and do not eat other people's things. ”

Xiqing was curious when she heard this, so she just took the bun and stuffed it into the little boy's hand, and said, "I invite you to eat, what does it have to do with what beggar?" When I was in the capital, I was so hungry that I almost starved to death on the side of the road in winter, and Director Zheng poured me a bowl of porridge to save my life. You see, I've grown tall and strong over the past few years! ”

The little boy couldn't help but smile when he saw the festivities, which were not much older than himself, but still shook his head firmly.

Xiqing couldn't help it, so he sat down next to the boy by the willow tree and sighed: "Listen to me, we are children, and there is no shame in eating other people's things." When you grow up, remember the person who gave you food, and give it back to him a thousand times. That's what Director Zheng told me back then, even though he never asked me to pay it back.
