Chapter 1361 Little Soul Boy, Where Are Your Parents?

The rain in Linhai County is particularly long.

The cold wind blew on people with rain foam, the feeling was not to mention uncomfortable.

Cheng Qi is a civil servant, and his body is weak all the year round. He needs long johns to wear in early October.

At this moment, it was raining heavily outside, and he had already wrapped up the clay hand stove and huddled in the cabin to warm up the fire.

Beside him was the master who was accompanying him, the two of them were talking small things, and eating two bites of cakes from time to time, feeling very happy.

Just as they were chatting vigorously, the guards outside pushed the door in and said to them, "My lord, we are about to dock."

Cheng Qi waved his hand indifferently, stuffed the last bite of pastry into his mouth, and asked casually, "Where is Mr. Ji?"

The guard pointed in the direction of the board: "It's been almost an hour outside the station."

Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment, poked his head out to look outside, and sure enough, he saw a tall man in black robe standing in front of the ship plank.

He was a little speechless: "What are you doing standing there? The rain is so heavy."

The guard didn't understand either: "Ask Mr. Ji, he said the sound of rain is nice, please listen for a while."

"This hobby..." Cheng Qi was speechless, but he thought that everyone belonged to his colleagues, and this time he happened to take a boat trip again, so he said to the guards: "You go and inform Mr. Ji that you are going to dock. He packed up his things, don't miss anything."

After the guards took the order to leave, the master smacked his lips and said to Cheng Qi: "Master, why do you think Mr. Ji came to Xijin County with us this time? He is not a spectator. "

Cheng Qi laughed: "Is this someone else's excitement? This is that bastard Wan Li. Don't mention us. The fast-moving people in Beijing have already rushed to occupy their seats."

The master was silent for a while, but he still had doubts in his heart: "Keep Master Ji stayed in Tingjiang Prefecture before, so it doesn't mean that he will follow suit?"

"Then who knows." Cheng Qi snorted, "That old man Wan Li is very unpopular, and he might have offended him before. Let me tell you, generals hold grudges and they are small-minded."

That being said, but...

The master didn't say much anymore, it has nothing to do with me, so there's no need to worry about it.

Half an hour later, the boat docked at the pier of Xijin County. The rain outside hadn't stopped, and the sky and the earth seemed to be getting wet.

Cheng Qi has been the governor of Yuanzhou for many years, and he has been spoiled for a long time. He has been blown by cold wind and drenched in cold rain. Now that he is going to disembark, there are naturally many people around him holding umbrellas to cover him.

He himself was protected from water and fire, and he even took the time to talk to Mr. Ji who was holding an umbrella over there: "If Chundong doesn't come here to squeeze, it's very windy and cold in your place."

The tall man dressed in pitch black turned his head, with a short beard on his heroic face, he said to the gentle Cheng Fu Yin in a soft voice: "Master Cheng avoids himself, I am not in the way here. "

Cheng Qi was just being polite, he didn't think he would come here, the pier is simple, the road boards are small, and Ji Chundong is big, it would be embarrassing for everyone to squeeze in.

When you get out of the pier, you can see the people coming from the government to pick you up.

Cheng Qi's master, Ma Liu's past contact person, was placed in the carriage after some communication.

It was the magistrate of Xijin County who came to pick him up, Cheng Qi didn't speak to the little magistrate, he just got into the carriage after being bowed by the man.

But he didn't know until he got into the carriage that this poor county had only arranged for two cars to pick him up, which meant that he, Ji Chundong, and the small county magistrate could squeeze into one car?
Cheng Qi was quite depressed, especially the magistrate Song was old, and Ji Chundong was wide, so the three of them squeezed the thin figure to the side immediately.

The county magistrate of Song saw his difficulty, and took the initiative to move towards the door to make room for him. At the same time, he kept apologizing, saying that three cars were originally arranged, but one of them was temporarily going to the post. , it was too late, so I could only bring two cars over here first.

Cheng Qi listened without embarrassment, and didn't want to say anything, and seeing that the magistrate Song was so old, but half of his body was hanging out of the car door, he took the initiative to say: "Come in, the curtain is open."

County magistrate Song thought he meant that the curtain was opened and the wind was blowing in, so he hurriedly sat inside again, but he didn't dare to sit too far in.

The carriage drove for about two quarters of an hour, and the car stopped outside the gate of a big house.

County magistrate Song got out of the car first, opened his umbrella, and welcomed Cheng Qi down, explaining: "Many adults have come to the county these days. The official found the local gentry and lent them a house for the adults to live in temporarily. This house is named Rong, and it is owned by a friend of the lower official. The lonely east courtyard in the house is empty. , the people in the mansion will not disturb the two adults."

As soon as he heard that there were no posthouses and he wanted to live in a residential house, Cheng Qi's coquettishness couldn't resist immediately. Fortunately, his master quickly followed him, held down his lord, and said to County Magistrate Song with a smile: "Then It bothered me."

Song County Magistrate repeatedly said, "Don't dare."

The Rong Mansion had already opened the door, and when they walked in, Cheng Qi kept pulling his face.

The master said to him beside him: "You are the one who insisted on coming. If you come late and have no place to stay, what can you do?"

Cheng Qi was angrily angry, and finally gritted his teeth and said to the master: "It's all because of that old bastard Wan Li for harming people."

The master can only say "yes", let's coax him over first.

Ji Chundong walked behind the two, listened to what the two had said, and shook his head slightly at the same time, their military officers have always looked down on this kind of civil servant who has a lot of problems with eating and drinking.

This Rong Mansion is quite big, with many courtyards, but there are many people living there, and it is also noisy.

On the way from the main courtyard to the east courtyard, Cheng Qi actually saw a black bird flying over his head. On a heavy rainy day, the bird was wet and shiny black, flying far away, it was shocking to watch. .

The bird finally left, and after a while, another little boy ran out. The kid didn't hold up an umbrella, and ran towards this side stepping on the spray. When he saw them, he was stunned for a moment, and stood still.

Cheng Qi watched the rain dripping from the top of the child's head into his collar, and his hair stood on end for a moment, as if the rain was flowing on his neck.

Ji Chundong, who was about to take a step forward, has already rushed over, and put his umbrella on the child's head, covering him from the rain.

The child hesitated for a moment, looked up at the adults beside him, his dark eyes sparkled, and said, "Thank you."

Ji Chundong laughed, and covered the child's head with his big rough palm, rubbing his drooping hair into a mess.

The little boy also felt the rainwater on his head. After his hair was messed up, he shook his head like a puppy who just took a bath. There were water droplets everywhere, and then he grinned.

Cheng Qi felt that the child was sick. Isn't it cold under such heavy rain?what's so funny?

Ji Chundong thinks this kid is very funny, but if it rains heavily, will the adults in the family not care?

As soon as he was thinking about it, County Magistrate Song beside him said, "Little Lingtong, where are your parents?"

The short boy said: "Mother went to the yamen to find Mr. Zhuang, and said that there is something important... Uncle Rong has been invited to Li's residence."

County Magistrate Song asked again: "Then where are you going?"

The little boy said: "I was looking for pearls, and the pearls just came back and flew away again. They refused to answer, and they became wilder and wilder!"
