It was also the first time for Xie Xun to visit Jinzhou City. The city was full of high-rise buildings and business gatherings, and it was extremely lively. The clans in Jinzhou were not comparable to those in Kyoto, but they were not in the minority.The clan surnames are Zhou, Li, Lin, and Zhang.Shopkeeper Cheng has been entrenched in Jinzhou for more than [-] years, and the wealthy party can only be regarded as a wealthy gentry.In addition to having land in the clan, most of the sons of the clan are officials in the court. Yanyang allows merchants to take the imperial examination. Many wealthy merchants want to donate officials to obtain titles. It was very popular more than ten years ago.

It costs about 8000 taels of silver to buy a county magistrate in a small county, but the salary is actually only 50 taels, but there are still many wealthy gentry donating officials to seek titles.After Emperor Jianming ascended the throne, the entire Yanyang officialdom was suppressed by the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the official donation system was abolished. The officials who had donated officials a few years ago were expelled from the officialdom.Otherwise, there will be a flood of titles, and officials will protect each other, and a group of rich children who have no real talents will serve as court officials. They will only collect money and will not do practical things.

Official donations are most prevalent in Jiangnan and Kyoto. When Zhenbei Hou abolished the official donation system, wealthy businessmen once protested collectively. For two years, Jiangnan was difficult to collect taxes, Ningzhou was in a hurry, and a group of conscientious wealthy merchants in Jiangnan united. Know it with reason, move it with emotion, and gradually improve.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars are respected and have a high status. After obtaining fame and fame, they leap into the dragon's gate and shine on the lintel. Even a nine-rank sesame official has a lot of power than ordinary people.

Most of the clans had ancestors who had served as high officials in the imperial court, and gradually formed ethnic groups under the shadow of their ancestors, just like the Lin family.Within three generations, there must be a star of Wenqu, and each generation holds an important position.Such a family can easily gain a firm foothold in Yanyang, and most clans are like this.

The clan's children are well-educated to ensure the prosperity of the family for a hundred years. The clans of the twelve states have been entrenched in the local area for many years and have their own set of survival rules. They really don't care who is the emperor. Who, they don't care.

When Xie Xun first arrived in Jinzhou, the four major clans in Jinzhou sent invitations to Xie Xun one after another, inviting Xie Xun to come and be a guest.

Xie Xun declined one by one.

"After you suppressed the bandits, all of Yanyang can see your ambitions for the Twelve States. The next step is to see how Yu Wenjing responds. These clans also want to know your plans for the Twelve States. You are new here, so don't pay attention to them If someone invites you, you rush to the door, and you will inevitably be looked down upon." Feng Yu was very relieved, "You understand it very well now, and you don't need anyone to teach you."

Xie Xun looked at the excited third girl delicately, hesitant to speak.

In fact, he only stayed in Jinzhou for two days, and the silver and grain were being loaded, and he wanted to transport them back to Ningzhou as soon as possible.He and Feng Yu were about to say goodbye, and he felt very sad. He only wanted to be by Feng Yu's side during the two days when Baiyin grain and grass were loaded into the car.After parting, I don't know when I will see you again.

He is different from Feng Yu, Feng Yu has a clear goal after leaving the capital, she just wants to come to Twelve States, he is not willing to leave Feng Yu by his side, and stubbornly wants to hold her tightly.

When he was in Ningzhou, his second elder brother was so angry that his eye disease relapsed, and he suffered a lot. He promised Xie Jue to keep her in Twelve States, but now it is hard to get off.

He agreed with his mouth, but he didn't agree in his heart.

He accepted the second brother, but he couldn't be a treacherous person, and he was still worried about Xie Jue's eyes. His body and mind were severely split in two, half flew back to Ningzhou, and half wanted to stay in Jinzhou.

It was only two days, and he thought it was too little to accompany Feng Yu, let alone bother to socialize with the clan.

Feng Yu knew that Xie Xun hadn't come out of the rainy night in the capital, and when she saw him practicing sword in the courtyard late at night, she was heartbroken and dejected.But Xie Xun's inner demon needs him to come out alone, and if she stays by Xie Xun's side, it will only aggravate Xie Xun's obsession, and he will grab her, making him even crazier.

Parting is for a better reunion!
She kept her reluctance and longing in her heart.

About to leave, Xie Xun didn't go crazy, nor did he lose control, Feng Yu was already very satisfied.

"Chunlu, when I first returned to Ningzhou when I was seven years old, I always had nightmares at night, what kind of incense did you light for me?" Feng Yu asked, she would sleep much better when those incense were lit.

"It's the Qiushui incense made by the second girl. Later, the second girl went to the south of the Yangtze River and taught me how to make it. The incense that the girl used later was made by me." Chunlu asked, "The girl has been out of incense since April this year. , and rarely have nightmares at night."

Qiuxiang and Chunlu are very concerned about her daily life.

"My lord can't sleep well at night, you can adjust some and let him take it with you."

Even if it's an extra hour of sleep.

"it is good!"

Although Xie Xun didn't go crazy, he didn't lose control, Feng Yu also felt his anxiety and closeness, no matter where she went, he followed her, never leaving her.

There is no military affairs to deal with in Jinzhou City, Feiying is in charge of loading silver and grain, and Xie Xun is like the shadow of the third girl when he is free.

Feng Yu arrived in Jinzhou after Xie Xun, knowing that she was about to leave, she specially spared her time to accompany Xie Xun, never leaving each other, the two stayed at home, and Xie Xun taught Feng Yu how to practice Xie's swordsmanship.In the afternoon, Feng Yu took Xie Xun to plant pomegranate trees in the courtyard. Xie Xun knew that he would leave tomorrow, so he couldn't be interested in doing anything.Feng Yu asked him, but he didn't say anything.

Feng Yu thought to herself, the prince is more difficult to serve than the young master!

"Let me make longevity noodles for you."

Coincidentally, both Feng Yu and Xie Xun's birthdays are in October, Feng Yu is at the beginning of October, and Xie Xun is at the end of October.In October last year, they still hated each other, Furong Curie had a fight, and he almost killed her.

This year's birthday, most of them can't celebrate together.

"You know how to make longevity noodles?" Xie Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at her playfully, with slender fingers and soft hands, he really didn't look like a girl who could cook.

"I just know how to make longevity noodles."

The third girl makes longevity noodles, except that she does not light the stove herself, and does not need to add firewood herself. She really does it herself. She makes longevity noodles every year, and she already has quite a lot of experience.

Knead the dough, add salt and knead it into a ball, wake up the dough, brush it with cooking oil, knead the dough into the thickness of a forearm, wake up the dough again, knead it into a small stick shape, wake up the dough repeatedly, knead it finely, and brush it with oil , Knead the noodles into the thickness of your index finger and make them together.Xie Xun watched as her palms turned red, and said distressedly, "Let Qiuxiang do it, as long as it makes sense."

"Qiuxiang's cooking is not as delicious as mine."

Qiu Xiang bravely retorted, "Girl,...you seem to be lying."

Xie Xun, "..."

Should he still have expectations for this bowl of longevity noodles?
Feng Yu stretched the long-lived noodles with the thickness of her index finger, and slowly lowered them after the water was boiled. She pulled the noodles until they were as thick as ordinary noodles, and they were not broken. When they were cooked, there was only one root noodles.Feng Yu seasoned the noodles with the water in which they were cooked, blanched a little green vegetables, and a bowl of longevity noodles was ready.

Xie Xun is still keeping his filial piety, and he will not touch meat for a year. She doesn't even fry eggs for him, and simply puts a little seasoning. Green vegetables.

Qiuxiang and Chunlu looked at each other, the clear soup lacked water, it was unpalatable at first sight.

"Even if we celebrate our birthday together earlier."

Xie Xun looked at the longevity noodles with clear soup and little water, his expression was difficult to distinguish, it seemed gloomy and sad.He felt that the Liangma Road should be repaired before October, and he wanted to come to Jinzhou to spend Fengyu's birthday with her.

What Feng Yu said was that she didn't intend to live with him.

When he was anxious, Feng Yu said, "When it's your birthday, I'll go to Ningzhou to accompany you."

"Really?" Xie Xun's eyes were shattered, and he was deeply pleased by Feng Yu's words, "Are you coming to Ningzhou?"

"Yes, I'm coming to Ningzhou!"

If nothing else.

Feng Yu raised the soul-suppressing bead on her wrist, "Zhixu, we have the soul-suppressing bead, and we will meet every now and then."

"It doesn't count!"

"Why doesn't it count?" Feng Yu said, "You are in my body, when you look in the mirror, don't you see me?"

Xie Xun, "..."

He couldn't refute it!

Changshou noodles imply longevity, and the way to eat them is also very particular. Both of them ate the whole noodles in one sitting. Fengyu asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

"I think it's delicious too!"

Xie Xun saw her smiling face, and the anxiety in her heart was eased inch by inch. She became cheerful and loved to smile.The longevity noodles are not delicious, but they are not unpalatable, at least they are cooked.

When Xie Xun led the left-wing army in ambush, they ate dry food with rainwater, so they were not picky about food.

Dinner is longevity noodles. Feng Yu asked the kitchen to use tofu and other ingredients to cook a table of vegetarian dishes. It looks like pork ribs and beef, and the taste is similar. In fact, the ingredients are all vegetarian.

Xie Xun had never eaten a dish that tasted so meaty but not meaty.

He was in mourning, Feng Yu would not trick him into eating meat.

Fengyu said, "You don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and you don't go to temples very often. Xiangguo Temple has a lot of dishes like this, and the variety is very rich. Vegetarians don't just eat boiled vegetables."

"Long experience."

Xie Xun had a full meal, Jinzhou City was extremely lively tonight, after dinner, Xie Xun wanted to take Feng Yu out for a walk, but Nuan Yang came in with a strange expression.

"Master, those clans..." Nuan Yang carefully looked at the third girl beside him, then gritted his teeth and said, "I sent four young and beautiful women here, saying they are here to serve the prince."

Xie Xun, "..."

Feng Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing the kind of smile that Xie Xun was very familiar with when they first met, "Wow... the prince is so blessed."

I'm about to say goodbye, I'm going to start my own business, and I'm going to write two love stories
