I want to be a good minister

Chapter 58

The knock on the door was hurried and flustered, as if it would not stop until the door was opened.

"Who?" Xiaoer's voice was impatient, but his pace was still a little faster, followed by a squeak, and a gust of cool wind came in from the door.

"Second brother, please do me a favor and take us in—" only an old voice was heard, mixed with the faint panting of a young woman.

"Guests, we are open for business, and there are no vacant rooms now—" Xiao Er glanced at the visitor, as if he was not dressed like he had the money to stay in the hotel, and refused politely.

"Little brother, please do me a favor, we can just sleep in the stable—" The old man pulled the little brother, who was anxious.

"Unfortunately, our stable is also full—" He said, and was about to close the door.

"Wait—wait—" followed by a woman's panicked voice, "Little brother, look, is this worth the rent?"

As if handing something over, Helian Jianxiu put down the teacup and walked towards the couch.

Cen Xi was taken aback, Lord, where should I sleep?

"It's a bit stuffy on the bunk, and it's cooler on the couch—" He said and already lay down.

Cen Xi opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound. Seeing the favorability he had just gained with great difficulty, I endured it.

"Sure, there's still one room that's vacant, but it's been a long time since I've lived in it. Let me clean it up first." Xiao Er seemed quite satisfied, and said, after the sound of footsteps, the inn returned to calm.

When Cen Xi woke up to dawn, he didn't feel stuffy or hot, but he looked refreshed. When he got up together, he saw that everyone else had already woken up, waiting for the door of His Highness the Prince's room to open.

Cen Xi realized that he was getting up late, and quickly opened the door to get hot water. The elder Ge's silent eyes condemned her for not fulfilling her duties as a courtier.

No, Mr. Ge, you were woken up in the middle of the night by fright, and you were dragged up by your highness to talk about life?
When Cen Xi returned to the room, Helian Jianxiu had finished dressing, then washed his face with the basin in Cen Xi's hand, and walked out, the atmosphere around the inn returned to normal.

After eating, Cen Xi and his party did not stop, they got into the car and were about to set off, but they heard Yuan Zhen's angry shout from inside the room.

Cen Xi was taken aback, what happened, a servant had already gone to check, and saw Yuan Zhen coming out of the inn cursing, followed by an old man.

"You, you are so rude, since you bumped into my son, how could you just turn your head and walk away—" The old man made a sound, and Cen Xi recognized that it was the old man who came in in the middle of the night.

Following behind the old man, came out a limping, pretty woman whose appearance could not be ignored, tears glistening, pulling the old man while walking.

"Father, I accidentally—"

Yuan Zhen snorted coldly, it was because she accidentally bumped into him.

Qiliang County has the habit of rushing to the morning market, and a group of people has already gathered around, seeing the poor woman, she suddenly feels uneasy.

"Even if you're not careful, there's no reason to leave when you bump into someone." Everyone pointed at Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Zhen's face turned red in a panic, and he wanted to raise his hand.

"Boy Yuan, why don't you apologize to the girl—" Elder Ge said.

Yuan Zhen put down his hand, took two steps towards the girl, and gave the old man a few small pieces of silver immediately brought by the servants.

When the old man saw it, he simply sat down on the ground.

"What should we do? Our father and daughter traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge with our relatives. Now we have used up all our money. We can only walk on two legs. Now we can't walk. What can we do with the money? We are still going to starve to death." Here in the street—”

"Father, I, we're fine, just keep going—" As she spoke, the woman groaned, only to hear the passers-by who were watching were surprised. It was a small injury. Although the ankle was wrapped, it was high and swollen. Pick up a piece, where can I still walk.

"It's so serious, I just want to throw two bad money and leave—" Immediately, the crowd started to discuss again, Helian Jianxiu frowned slightly, Cen Xi was taken aback, reached out and opened the curtain of the car to look quietly, and then jumped off The carriage entered the woman.

Cen Xi squatted down and took a look at the woman's injury. It was indeed serious. Yuan Zhen said he was not careful, but he was probably too serious. Moreover, such a serious ankle dispelled Cen Xi's doubts, so he walked over to the Elder Ge stepped forward and told about the woman's injuries.

Now there are more and more people onlookers, Ge Lao and the others were unintentionally exposed to the crowd, seeing this, they gave Cen Xi a wink, Cen Xi had no choice but to turn around.

"Old man, tell me, what should we do now, how much money should we pay to settle the matter--" Cen Xi sighed, naturally Yuan Zhen can't let Yuan Zhen solve this matter by himself, and if he doesn't say a few words, he might be about to do it.

"Here, here, we are going to Helu County, if you drop by, you can take us along the way, and my son will recover from his injuries without delaying the trip. For this journey, you only need to pay for the medicine money for my son's treatment—" the old man Glancing at Cen Xi, his voice was a little timid, but the request was indeed not excessive and reasonable.

Cen Xi turned his head to look at Elder Ge, and upon seeing this, Elder Ge nodded indiscriminately, so the "domestic servants" let the woman into the carriage and joined Wen Sheng in the carriage.

The crowd dispersed slowly, and the carriage continued on its way. Although Cen Xi felt that this was a bit of a coincidence, the hidden guard came to report it in time, and there was nothing suspicious about the father and daughter.

After walking for two hours on this road, at noon, it was already at the border between Qiliang County and Helu County, in the wilderness, there was only this official road, which was said to be an official road, but it was also a dirt road paved with white sand and gravel. The potholes on the road are all mud puddles left after the rain, which is very difficult to walk.

Elder Ge found a shady place, and the carriage stopped to rest. At this time, the people in the carriage were not very different from ordinary merchants. Elder Ge arrogantly ordered the servants to do this and that. The son is very caring, and he ridicules and complains to the second son, which is a family farce.

Cen Xi was at leisure, watching the servants light the fire and start cooking, no matter whether it was Beichang or Dajing, there would always be inconveniences on the road, so it was quite normal to bring a pot, right on the side of the road, The simple stove built with earthen embryos, the servants are busy neatly.

Cen Xi walked around outside the car, brought back a pot of hot tea, rolled the teacup in hot water again, and then brought it to his lord, he was very careful and prudent.

"This water is sweet and delicious." Helian Jianxiu said seeing this, the atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant along the way with his smooth hair, Cen Xi slept whenever he wanted, and the other party would never ask.

Cen Xi smiled first, she didn't advertise, this Nongfu Spring is a bit sweet, but she didn't say it, the advertisement says you, and the half pot of water in the system is genuine Nongfu Spring.

But Cen Xi naturally couldn't say that, and poured another glass for the man.

"Yes, master, I just boiled the water and made tea because I saw the water was clean and clear." Then I poured myself a cup. Fortunately, the system still had such a bug, so she would not get lost in ancient times. In the middle, as long as you drink this water, you will have the feeling of returning to the present in a trance.

The man remained silent, but glanced at the woman. The water tasted the same as the water Cen Xi had sent in the past. Since the woman appeared and brought out water, it was different from the salty water in the sea. The inn had a muddy smell. Naturally, Helian Jianxiu didn't believe that there would be such sweet water in this remote ditch after it rained again two days ago.

He didn't know how the woman did it, but he didn't worry about her intentions. If he could, he would rather have such sweet water to drink from now on.

Helian Jianxiu was taken aback for a moment, and was stunned by his sudden intention, what did he want to do.
