Chapter 239
Xiao Yi "heard" the smell of jealousy, so he smiled, but Sun Chengfu couldn't laugh, "It's such a long way from here to Daming Mansion, it's really not safe to walk this way."

Siqing smiled and said: "Didn't I just say that it's not safe to go back to the boat, and now it's a knife if you stretch your head or shrink your head, let's see what your majesty chooses."

Xiao Yi thought for a while, then insisted: "Let's go by ourselves."

Si Qing said: "I can do it, I won't cause you any trouble."

Sun Chengfu couldn't find any reason to object, but his expression became even uglier.Si Qing then looked around, "Why is this house like this? There is no one in the Lan family?"

Xiao Yi said: "We only came in the afternoon, and it is said that Xining's shopkeeper died of a sudden illness in 13 years, and the family was defeated. Two family members went back to the countryside and never came back. I don't know if they are gone. Then this alley has accidents every now and then for some reason, originally all the alleys were sculptors, and they all moved away one after another, so the alley is like this."

Siqing sighed, "Xining hasn't been there for 13 years, did he get killed by the Ye family? The timing is too coincidental."

Xiao Yi said: "Maybe it's a coincidence? But fortunately, before I left Beijing, you told me to come here to have a look, otherwise it would be even more troublesome if we got sidetracked."

Siqing said: "I went astray and went back to Daming Mansion before the August Festival. I insisted on coming to Weiyang before the [-]th, and I bet that you would come here. Even if you don't come, I should send someone here."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Since it's decided, let's go north tomorrow morning, whether by water or land to see the weather, and try to arrive at Daming Mansion two days early to listen to the wind."

Sun Chengfu said yes, and Siqing said: "It's best to keep the imperial capital calm."

Siqing settled down, only to find that Xiao Yi shrank on a small brick, looking around with fear and disgust.

Siqing understood that the jade-like Xiao Yi was most afraid of getting dirty.

In the palace, Xiyuan, Nannei, Tantai, Xijing palace, and Liudu palace, there are attendants to clean the residences spotlessly.Xiao Yi's clothes are rarely laundered, and they are basically thrown away after being worn.After she entered the palace, Xiao Yi always disliked the tent and pillowcase of Ninghua Palace. Siqing thought that after using it for a long time, it would have her own smell and sleep more fragrantly, but Xiao Yi often held the tent and pillowcase with two fingers behind Siqing's back. , and gave it to Yunchu for her to throw it away.

Every time Siqing sees it, she silently recites a sentence in her heart: As for what, as for what, is it easy for a silkworm to spit silk?
In addition, the focus of the conflict between the two is whether to bathe the raccoon slave.This cat was adopted by Siqing Xining on the Lantern Festival in 16. Siqing loves it like a treasure.Xiao Yi didn't like cats before, but since Siqing raised a raccoon slave, and the raccoon slave waved her tender paws and acted like a baby to him, Xiao Yi gradually fell into a trap, but the prerequisite for Xiao Yi to hold a cat is to bathe the cat first.

Siqing said, "It even licked its fur, yet you still despise it."

Xiao Yi retorted, "If you don't take a bath, it will get sick if it licks itself!"

However, the raccoon slave is afraid of water. Every time he takes a bath, his pupils become dilated and he is terrified. The two often quarrel over whether to bathe the raccoon slave.

Siqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yi, wondering if Xiao Yi changed his clothes in the past few days under Yuzhou?I don't know if this beautiful woman dislikes her clothes?Xiao Yi knew that he was seen through by Siqing, and annoyed: "Why are you looking at me?"

Siqing hadn't spoken yet, and she didn't know if it was a big flea or some kind of bug that jumped up and landed on Xiao Yi's knee, so frightened that Xiao Yi jumped up and nearly fell down.

Siqing couldn't hold back, and laughed.Xiao Yi shook his clothes in disgust, "Hey, don't laugh at me."

Siqing said: "Make do with it, bear with it, ah." She took out her handkerchief and gave it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took it and carefully spread it on a brick, put his arms around his clothes and slowly sat on the handkerchief, took out a small packet of incense from his arms, found a crack in the brick to catch the incense pills, and used fire to The booklet was lit, and I was about to take a nap.

Siqing couldn't help but rolled her eyes, thinking how did this great fairy with fluttering robes gallop thousands of miles from Jinling, the capital, to the front line in Hunan?Could it be that leading an army on a crusade must also bring enough clothes, blankets, incense sticks and incense sticks?It's not important to go out by yourself. It's no wonder that the officials objected to this beautiful woman going to the front line. If a trouble is not good, I don't know whether it will boost morale or affect morale.

Xiao Yi couldn't fall asleep, so he asked, "What are you thinking?"

Siqing said: "I want to ask you how you felt when you went to Huxiang, did you get hurt?"

Xiao Yi felt a little lonely when he heard the words, "The dead bones are all over the mountain, and the blood flows like a river."

Siqing said: "'Thousands of miles of smoke and frost will return to the green temples, and ten years of soldiers will miss the common people'. The words are not good, and the truth is the truth."

But Xiao Yi said: "But no matter what, the battle in the northern border must be fought and won." He was serious about making contributions, and Siqing stopped talking after hearing this.

The next day the rain stopped, and Siqing walked around the dilapidated house twice, not knowing what she was thinking.Xiao Yi asked: "The back is very dirty, it's muddy when it rains, what are you looking for?"

Siqing said: "I was scolding the Ye family, wondering if the Ye family silenced the family because of my life experience. But a voice questioned myself again, why do I always think of the Ye family so badly, maybe this blue Dude is sick."

Xiao Yi froze, forced a smile and said, "Let's go back, and I'll send someone to find out where their family moved to the countryside."

Siqing shook her head, "No need, don't bother them anymore."

The sky was still gray, Xiao Yi asked: "Did you come to Weiyang when you were young?"

Siqing said: "No, I have been to Jinling, Xinwu several times, and Xijin, but I have never crossed the river to Weiyang."

The three of them tidied up, walked out of the alley, and saw the gate of Jianlong Temple from a distance. The vines of silver vines wrapped around the gate of the temple. The gate of the temple looked very low, which made people feel depressed.

Xiao Yi said: "I forgot where I read a poem before, 'Bie Qu finds a famous temple, and the fragrance is full of Buddha's sky. I am compiling it with joy in my eyes, and I feel ashamed and feel ashamed. The view of Qionghua on the first day, and the chapter on Yushu in the wind. This is not an accident. , Wash your eyes and start a feast. 'It's a pity that it's not the flowering season."

Siqing smiled, "There are also the peony in Zhichan Temple and the Qionghua in Qionghua Temple are so famous. Weiyang is really a beautiful place. It's a pity that I don't have the leisure to appreciate it this time."

The three of them walked against the water system in the city to a high ground. From the high place, they looked at the Ersi Bridge on the Baobao River. It started to rain again, and they couldn't see clearly in the rain.

The three of them headed west all the way, passing through Wanzi Street and Datong Lane. Sure enough, Xiao Yi saw the shops along the street and went to buy ready-made clothes to change into. Made a burden.

At noon, I ate crabs on the side of the street, and then went to the ferry of Baobao River to find a boat.This patchwork of gardens of merchants was half hidden in the mist and rain, Siqing said: "It's not the time for the rainy season, but it's raining like this."

It is humane that "Huaihai maintains Yangzhou", "wrap a hundred thousand guan in your waist, and ride down to Yangzhou on a crane".Guarantee that the boats on the river are not aware of the comings and goings, the smoke of willows and willows on the embankment, and the curtains are countless.There is a faint singing voice:

The stars are divided into bulls, Xinjiang is connected to Huaihai, and Yangzhou Wanjing is sealed off.Flowers send out fragrance of the road, warblers sing and people rise, and the vermilion curtain is full of spring breeze.Heroes are like a rainbow.Dragging the spring, gold and purple, the flying cover follows.The alley enters the weeping willow, and the north and south of the painted bridge are surrounded by green smoke.

The three of them had a light meal by the Baobao River. Xiao Yi asked the shopkeeper for boiling water to scald all the tableware, but the shopkeeper just rolled his eyes.In the meal, there is a golden orange fish gratin, which is made of finely sliced ​​fresh sea bass and wild vegetables seasoned in the sun. The sea bass is as white as jade, the wild vegetables are as tender as gold, and the golden oranges are fresh and sweet.Xiao Yi poked around with his chopsticks, looking like he couldn't eat.

Siqing then joked: "It's not like eating golden and jade carp and becoming Sui Yang Emperor, eat it quickly."

Xiao Yi said: "You always want to hurt me when you find an opportunity."

Sun Chengfu failed to find the boat, and Siqing spoke Wu dialect, so she should still negotiate the price of the boat.

This time there are Xiao Yi and Sun Chengfu, she is no longer alone, and it is much easier to find a boat.Siqing asked how many boats were available, and some were fully booked, and some were full of people, all unsatisfactory.Finally, there is a small boat with only two husband and wife on board. It is said that the boat can only take four people to Pengcheng.The husband and wife looked evasively, saying that they were transporting rations to Pengcheng.Siqing knew at a glance that it was a small boat evading the customs and tax, so she made an agreement with the couple that only the three of them would be taken, and they would pay the money for the four of them.

Xiao Yi asked softly, "Why are you looking for this kind of boat?"

Siqing said in a low voice: "It looks like a small boat hiding from money checkpoints. This kind of small road walks fast and knows how to hide from checkpoints. Let's go with the big boat. There are too many people on the boat. It's easy to expose."

Siqing made an agreement with the boatman that the three of them would board the boat. There were many "grain bags" piled up at the bottom of the boat, and there were only two narrow cabins above. Siqing could only live with her wife, while Xiao Yi and Sun Chengfu lived with the boat owner.No matter how dirty this time, Xiao Yi has no other choice but to be patient.He stood on the bow of the boat, watching Weiyang's city wall go away.I came here in a hurry, but I couldn't help but feel a little regretful that I didn't see Jinfen Weiyang.

Sure enough, the boat sailed quickly as soon as it left Weiyang as Siqing said.Siqing could speak Wu dialect, and chatted with the bastard. Xiao Yi and Sun Chengfu were really alike, but Siqing changed the official dialect and said with a smile: "So this sister is also from Jiahe." Just talking to the other party Said that he is also from Jiahe, and this time he was going to visit relatives in the north.

When Siqing asked, she realized that the boat did not belong to the husband and wife, but to their owner.Because food was in short supply during the war with Dingfan, the boss asked Shang Weiyang to buy food.The wife can say it, but the man who punted the boat looked like a dull man.In addition, Xiao Yi did not understand Sun Chengfu's accent, and he had nothing to say to the man who punted the boat, so he just sat there and listened to Siqing and his wife continue to talk about the scriptures.

The boat sailed fast, passing Zhuhu Lake, Fanshui, and Anyi. At the beginning, the boatman disembarked for supplies on the way. Xiao Yisiqing and Sun Chengfu only sat on the boat.The boat stopped in the river branch in the wilderness, and the boatman ran to the nearby market to buy baked dry biscuits, and Xiao Yi and the three were wandering nearby.

This place is no more charming than the chaotic flowers in Yangzhou city, but a place where a large number of peasant households gather, the market is dusty, there are not many vendors, but there are many beggars, men, women, old and young.Xiao Yi covered his face with his sleeves, looked at the dusty market and the beggars in disorder, and said nothing.

In the fall of his 21st year, Xining submissively returned Xijing to the imperial capital, and on the way he saw all businesses withering.No matter how much those loyal ministers of Sanjun touted him as the Holy Master Mingjun, it could not compare to what he saw with his own eyes.It is said that Jiangnan is a land of prosperity, but this time he got off the boat quietly, and the scene he saw was different from what he imagined.Hearing flattery and reprimanding the army in the sky is certainly a pleasure, but seeing the miserable scene with one's own eyes is even more painful.

He asked Si Qing in a low voice: "There is no war here, how can they live like this?"

Siqing grew up with Fu Linchuan in the south, and was used to this scene, "There is a market here, which is not bad. When every family is so hungry that their faces turn green, where can you see vendors coming out to sell things."

The two lived in very different places since they were young, and often did not understand each other.Siqing thought to herself, where did the military expenditures for fighting against Dingfan come from, and Xiao Yi didn't even think about it?She was beginning to slander why she didn't eat minced meat, and Xiao Yi said without knowing what to think: "Forget it, don't count the accounts of the Weaving Bureau and the Shibo Department. After all the calculations, it's not because of arbitrariness."

Siqing just laughed, Xiao Yi said: "What are you laughing at? You use ten Wutai to describe a hundred sceneries, and Xining spent 14 years on the four divisions and six bureaus to keep it low every year. Why don't you agree with the reduction of tribute at this time? "

"It's useless if you don't pursue it," Siqing said. "The wool comes from the sheep. If you don't pursue it, the third brother just won't get it into your hands. Unless you abolish the Municipal Shipbuilding Department of the Weaving Bureau. I don't even think it's useless to cut it off. If you get it, you can turn it into salary, so as to prevent things like Fuzhou from happening again, and the people below don’t know if they got it and rolled it to Qinhuai River or Firework Lane.”

Xiao Yi frowned, and said in a very small voice: "I think I'm fine, and you're fine, in fact, I'm already very self-denying."

He has always claimed to be diligent and thrifty, and now that he has concubines in the palace, his expenditure is far lower than that of several emperor ancestors.

Siqing giggled, "Third brother, if you are frugal, you can get a good name, which is not bad. If you are frugal, you can't change the way of court circulation. In the end, silverfish will get benefits. What do you think? The original intention is good, and the subordinates will definitely listen to you and work hard. In fact, they don’t care about your original intention of the Sacred Heart. Civil servants have eight hands and military officers have four legs.

The jade man's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Siqing was abandoned by Ye Xiufeng in the folk when she was a child, grew up in the folk, looked up from the folk, and saw the big from the folk, married into the royal family after she became an adult, and jumped into the high pavilion, she could see clearly, Xiao Yi sat on the shrine and saw it with Siqing s difference.

At this time, a little dirty hand pulled the corner of Xiao Yi's robe, and asked the customer to buy something.Xiao Yi and Si Qing saw a little child wearing a shabby robe dragging a huge basket, selling fresh persimmons and persimmons covered with frost.

This child looked younger than Xiao Huan, the youngest son of Xiao Yi and his wife, his face was tanned and red, but his eyes were clear.Xiao Yi's heart softened, he knelt down and patted his head, and bought a basket of persimmons.
