The world is heavy and late

Chapter 309
Perhaps the happy time with the sweetheart is always short.

Xia Qing didn't feel boring along the way, not even the feeling of anxiety when he just left Beijing.

Because they had already done everything they had to do, Xu Zhong was going to Xuzhou, the person she was looking for, their only hope now was not to be interrupted suddenly.

Although this wish is sometimes broken by Cheng Dalang or Zhu Bahou, in general, Xia Qing and Xu Zhong really have their own private time and private space during the short journey from Xuzhou to Yizhou .

Stickiness has also become the norm. When Cheng Dalang called them outside, Xia Qing had already twisted her body to an unbelievable degree, but her head had to rest on Xu Zhong's leg.

Both of them were holding a book. Even if Xia Qing expanded her world view, her understanding of the world was still too shallow.

She stayed in the village when she was a child, and stayed in the palace when she grew up. Of course, the most important thing is that Xia Qing in the past didn't bother to pay attention to these things at all.

After all, what does this world have to do with her? Even she doesn't worry about food and clothing, not because she doesn't have it, but because she doesn't care.

But it turns out that the debt owed will eventually need to be repaid.

Xu Zhong also held a book, but he took a book on water conservancy construction. This time he went to Xuzhou, Xu Zhong gained the most from the Xuzhou county annals. This kind of thing is useless if it is useless, but it is useful , but it can also benefit Xu Zhong endlessly.

The county annals is to record the customs of a place, including the history of the place, but a place has never been smooth, maybe it is the migration of the population?A disaster and epidemic as big as this one may simply be the customs of every small ethnic group.

People with a heart can get what they want from every natural and man-made disaster in the county annals, even every big event, and Xu Zhong is obviously such a person.

This is the two people's favorite thing to do when they stay in the car, and it's really because there is nothing else to do.

Cheng Dalang looked at the city gate not far away and took a deep breath, then turned his head and said: "Master, madam, we have arrived."

Xia Qing threw down the book all at once, and opened the curtain of the carriage, seemingly relieved, but also a little worried. To be honest, Xia Qing himself didn't know whether he should be happy that the journey was over, or whether he should be happy for the end of the journey. The next thing is sad.

Xu Zhong also slowly put down the things in his hands, glanced at the big Yizhou City in the distance and sighed, this was his third visit.

Cheng Dalang stopped the carriage, and looked at the gate of Yizhou City with a complicated expression. This was the second time he came back since he fled, and it was the burial place of everyone in his family.

Xu Zhong watched Xia Qing pull the curtain of the car, looked out blankly, looking relaxed and confused, he reached out his hand to stroke Xia Qing's hair worriedly.

Feeling Xu Zhong's strength, Xia Qing turned her head, looked at Xu Zhongping's calm and peaceful expression, and reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Actually, this is my first time in Yizhou, how is this place?"

Xu Zhong's eyes moved with Xia Qing's eyes, and also focused on the three words Yizhou City Da Da, with a soothing voice: "You may feel hot and humid, but the food in Yizhou City is still very different from the capital city. Yes, I think you can try more."

Xia Qing thought to himself, no matter how big the difference is, what's the difference?She is a person who grew up in modern times, so why must she have eaten all eight major cuisines?

Xia Qing, who was a little disdainful in his heart, quietly rolled his eyes. Xu Zhong saw it but smiled and said nothing. He had to try some things by himself.

But seeing Xia Qing's expression still not very happy, Xu Zhong asked: "Where do you expect us to go first?"

Neither of them is relaxed, and they are even very busy. They are fundamentally different from those who go on study tours and vacations, so they will not change their plans because of other things.

Even what to do every day, the two wanted to think about it in their heads in the morning, so when they first arrived at the gate of Yizhou City, what they thought about was how to do their own things and return to Beijing as soon as possible. As for other things, they really didn't have the mental energy.

The two people who valued efficiency were standing in front of Prince An's Mansion in Yizhou, looking at each other. The three carriages lined up. They didn't even go to the post station or the inn to rest first, or to freshen up first. Instead, they came directly to the gate of Prince An's Mansion. .

Xia Qing looked at the tall gate of King An's Mansion and sighed: "No wonder those people like to impeach King An for disobedience. Who wouldn't be confused by such a tall door?"

Xu Zhong took a look at the door which had been purposely raised and enlarged by two inches, and said in silence for a moment: "Your Majesty knows about this."

Xia Qing glanced at Xu Zhong and said, "The emperor was not unhappy when you came last time?"

Xu Zhong was silent for a while before he said: "Your Majesty likes this style very much, and he circled around the gate and the stone lion at the gate twice, saying that if it wasn't for Mr. Zhang in the court, his Qinzheng Palace should also be so grand. .”

Xia Qing nodded, expressing something: "Does that mean that without Mr. Zhang, no one can say for sure what kind of emperor this emperor would be?"

Cheng Dalang, Zhu Ba and Hou San who were behind were dripping cold sweat from their foreheads, they were really worried about the two masters.

First they talked about King An's rebellion at the gate of King An's mansion, and now they started talking about the emperor's issue in public.

Hou San took a careful look at the two masters who seemed to be angry in his eyes, and then took a careful look at Zhu Ba, and twitched his eyebrows to signal Zhu Ba to pay attention to what they said.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ba gave him a hard stare. He is not deaf, so he needs to show some kindness.

Accustomed to being stared at, Hou San shrank his neck reflexively, and lowered his head carefully.

Cheng Dalang has been tempered by the "nonsense" incident of the two masters' frequent human feelings for too long, so that now he is only afraid on a daily basis, but he is not surprised at all.

Xu Zhong glanced at Xia Qing, who was speaking wildly, but did not answer, and Xia Qing did not continue to ask.

But both of them knew that this would not be the case. Even without Master Zhang Zhi, there were still many people around the emperor pushing him and restraining him.

Even if those adults are not as dedicated to the public as Mr. Zhang Zhizhang, and they feel straightforward, but no one will take the matter of persuading His Majesty lightly.

Thinking of Zhang Zhi, Xia Qing sighed again: "Death is really the last parting."

As soon as the words were finished, the servant who had just been sent in to report appeared behind a person. The person looked at Xu Zhong intently, walked out quickly and saluted, and said, "I have seen Mr. Xu, but I didn't expect you to come. Just now The servants reported that the grassroots could not believe it."

The words were very intimate and familiar, Xia Qing glanced up and down at the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt, and probably had some guesses about his identity in his heart.

Xu Zhongexit confirmed what he thought in his heart: "Mr. Chen, quickly excuse me, I am not here on official business, so there is really no need for more courtesy, sir."

Mr. Chen, that is, King An's confidant and staff, has been traveling with King An all the time, and he is very familiar with Xu Zhong.

Even communicated a lot, and admired them very much.

If Wang An and Xu Zhong are more like close partners with many emotional interests mixed together, Mr. Chen and Xu Zhongcai are more like close friends.

Xu Zhong didn't mind Mr. Chen's saying that he was ineffective and mediocre, and Mr. Chen didn't mind Xu Zhong's most criticized background as a servant, so everything seemed to make sense.

Xu Zhong exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Chen, and immediately introduced Xia Qing who was next to him with a smile, "Mr. Chen, this is my wife; Qingniang, this is Mr. Chen, the staff member of Prince An's Mansion."

Xia Qing, who had guessed it right earlier, was not a little surprised, and bowed his head very simply and generously as a salute.

But apparently Mr. Chen is not the case.
