Bypass Bi Fei. Li Xiujing's slender legs crossed the threshold majestically and walked into the house.

Bi Fei's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Don't go in! Come out!"

Stopping next to the screen, Li Xiujing raised her lips. He gave Bi Fei a helpless look and walked generously behind the screen.

Holding down the aggrieved Bi Fei, Pei Jiaoran shook his head at her, "Be obedient and stop making trouble."

Although Bi Fei was very unhappy, she lost all her temper after being gently coaxed by Pei Jiaoran. He made a face at Li Xiujing who was standing by the window, snorted and ran back to his room.

Turn around and enter the house, closing the door. Standing next to the screen, looking at Li Xiujing.

"The censor is coming soon," Pei Jiaoran said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Li Xiujing looked at her with a calm tone, "I received news just after I returned to Zhoushe. It was said that the supervisory censor is still one day away from Guazhou."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded, walked to the table and poured two cups of tea.

He handed one to Li Xiujing. She held one in her hands and took a sip. "Counting the days, he will arrive in just one or two days."

The tea soup where the fog had dispersed revealed a pair of calm eyes.

"Li Qian, what are you going to do? Once the censor finds out the clues, you..." Li Xiujing looked at her, with complex emotions in his deep eyes.

He believed that Pei Jiaoran had the ability to handle the matter, but he was also worried that there would be other changes.

"It's the same as before. According to the law, I am at most a poor supervisor. I reported it immediately after learning about it. The most the court can do is fine me a salary." Pei Jiaoran looked at the ray of light on the desk and said in a tepid voice, "Anyway, the censor If you want to submit a memorial, you must follow the rules. As long as my mentor is still in the political affairs hall, the Yushitai will not do anything to me."

Although the central government is currently fighting fiercely and cannot take care of her, it is still possible to provide convenience in the slightest. So she thought that the censor who came this time might bring her the central meaning.

After taking a sip of the cold tea in his hand, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly.

She missed the old guys in the political hall. I want to see how cool they can be.

Seeing the confidence flashing in Pei Jiaoran's eyes, Li Xiujing frowned and said, "It seems like you know which censor is here?"

"I don't know." Pei Jiaoran frowned and shook his head, "How can a censor come to Daozhou for inspection and let people know his name in advance?"

The censor left Beijing to inspect various prefectures, but was not allowed to reveal his name in advance. The purpose is to prevent the state officials from colluding with the censor, failing to report the situation truthfully, and deceiving the emperor, so that the emperor does not know the suffering of the people.

Although there are occasional censors who secretly deliver news, these are still a minority. Most people in Yushitai still followed the rules and did not dare to send messages to others at will.

While talking, Li Xiujing had already walked to the desk. He leaned over and looked at the white deer paper on the table.

"You're really fast. Start painting now..." Li Xiujing smiled.

"President Cui County has already gone to conduct on-the-spot investigation. In addition, I asked Master Gao to take people to recruit civilian men, promising a reward of thirty cash per person per day." Looking up at Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "What does the governor think?" "

Li Xiu Jingying frowned, "Thirty trophies per person, at least 900 trophies per person per month. If you want thirty people, that's at least 27,000 trophies per month. We still don't know how long the fortifications will take. Are you sure about the county? Do you have enough money?"

Although he had previously lent Pei Jiaoran a sum of money privately, and the money was used by Pei Jiaoran in various places, he made a rough calculation and estimated that there would be very little money left. I want to maintain it until the end of the fortification, unless I don't do anything else.

After hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled like a crescent moon, "Isn't there still a governor? The construction of water conservancy in the county is also within the scope of the governor's responsibilities. If the county has no money in the future, it will have to rely on the governor."

Seeing her eyes full of sarcasm and calculation, Li Xiujing's mouth twitched slightly. Although he was not angry inside, there was still no sullen look on his face.

"You are very calculating. Okay, if I have something to do in Zhousan, I will go back first." Li Xiujing stood up and walked towards the door, stopping halfway and turning back, "Don't follow Cui Xiancheng on inspections recently. In case the censor comes, I I have to send people everywhere to look for you.”

"Here."

Li Xiujing had just brushed the curtain and left. Pei Jiaoran saw Bi Fei running past the window out of the corner of his eye and frowned slightly.

There was a "clang", and Bi Fei's exclamation and the sound of Li Xiujing's breathing reached his ears.

Hearing the sound, Pei Jiaoran quickly walked towards the door and saw a wooden basin lying quietly on the ground, with a pool of water gathering on the ground. What happened is obvious.

Looking up at Bi Fei with an innocent face, Pei Jiaoran took a deep breath.

"Pei Jiaoran!" Li Xiujing turned around and stared at her.

Catching the sadness on the other party's face, Pei Jiaoran's eyes flashed narrowly, and a serious look appeared on his face, "What's going on?"

"I just finished washing my feet and was about to throw them out. Who knew the governor would suddenly rush out!" Bi Fei's eyes were full of anger, "Girl, you can't blame me for this."

After hearing that this was foot-washing water, Li Xiujing immediately grimaced, and the sadness in her eyes became heavier.

Li Xiujing seemed to have an air of, "You see your people are bullying me, you don't care." Pei Jiaoran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, wondering why this man was so petty.

"The governor also heard it. Bi Fei didn't do it on purpose." Pei Jiaoran leaned on the door and said lazily: "The governor is a tall, seven-foot-tall man. He is magnanimous and has a benevolent heart. I'm sure he won't care about a little girl. ?”

Li Xiujing stared at Pei Jiaoran, feeling amused. The two masters and servants seemed to be colluding, singing and singing in harmony. In particular, this master is even more hateful. He and Bi Fei have never interacted with each other, but she hates him so much. It can be seen that I often hear someone say bad things about him.

Now he puts the name of benevolence on his head and holds it up to the sky against his will.

Knowing that the person in front of him was more protective and had no intention of apologizing, Li Xiujing raised her eyebrows and said, "Damp clothes can easily make you sick. I wonder if the Ming government will allow me to bake clothes in the house?"

"I still have the governor's coat here. Just wrap it up and go back to the state." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran walked in, took off the coat hanging on the clothes rail, and threw it into Li Xiujing's arms. "Thank you very much for the gift of the governor the day before yesterday." With me, everything now returns to its original owner."

After being choked for a while, Li Xiujing frowned. Looking at the wrinkled coat in his arms, he wrapped it around his body and left without looking back.

When Li Xiujing's figure completely disappeared from sight, Bi Fei came to her senses, pointed at the courtyard door and said loudly: "My girl is famous for her wisdom, she will almost be deceived by a stubborn man like you!"

After listening to Bi Fei's words, Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips. He reached out and pinched her face.

"Girl!"

"What books have you read recently?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile.

"It's just the books you gave me...why do you ask me so suddenly?" Bi Fei picked up the wooden basin on the ground and held it in front of her face. He said with a ghost in his heart.

Instead of exposing Bi Fei, Pei Jiaoran walked into the house and took out a wooden box.

Bi Fei said in surprise: "What is this?"

"Each dynasty has its own legends, and there are also some scripts."

The sun came out in the west. Bi Fei thought that Pei Jiaoran never liked her reading these words.

"Although it is indeed boring, since there is an audience, it proves that it does have merit. Anyway, if you like to watch it, I will teach you the tricks. Once you understand the tricks, you will find it uninteresting, so you might as well not watch it."

"You're so outrageous! I don't want to know what kind of tricks it has? But..." she said in surprise: "What kind of tricks are there? Isn't that how it should be?"

"Of course there is a storybook." Pei Jiaoran looked at her and slightly curled his lips, "The world likes to see talented and beautiful women in front of the flowers and under the moon, loving the daughter of a wealthy family and running away with the husband of a poor family, so they write whatever they want. But a woman born in a high family, How could they elope from a poor family? Most of the epic love stories in storybooks were made up by men to comfort them from the pain of not being able to get rich families. What's more, they even made up stories about falling in love with fairies, ghosts and monsters. . If a woman is extraordinary, why would she still fall in love with a mortal? Is it worth it to ruin your years of practice?"

"You actually know so much?" Bi Fei felt that she had been deceived by Pei Jiaoran and said in a deep voice, "What about the high-level struggles some people wrote about?"

"That is even more fabricated. The high sect has always been in the same spirit, and even if it has secrets, it will not be easily known to outsiders. Otherwise, foreign enemies can find flaws and disintegrate the family from within." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

Listening to Pei Jiaoran's words, Bi Fei nodded thoughtfully. He picked up the wooden box and ran to his house.

"Girl, you can take care of today's meal yourself."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his forehead. Did she shoot herself in the foot?

However, she showed Bi Fei those books in the hope that she would not be deceived by men with ill intentions in the future.
