Qin Ban

He came up and said, "Young master, the father-in-law from the palace came just now and said that if you return, young master, he will go directly to the palace and His Majesty wants to see you."

"..."

Putting Liu An and the others down at the gate of the mansion, Qin Ban who entered the palace by himself stood at the gate of the imperial study.Some hesitantly, he took a few steps left and right, glanced at the door of the Imperial Study Room, wondering if he should continue forward.

"Excuse me, father-in-law, why did your majesty call Qin Ban into the palace today?" He didn't do anything wrong, but he was announced for no reason, and he had the experience of being demoted before, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was not a good thing.

The father-in-law was a little funny when he saw Qin Ban's appearance, and said in a thin voice that most people couldn't say: "Qin servant, don't worry, you don't know how much your majesty loves you?"

"..." Good, good, love, in short, what you said is all right.

Adhering to the belief that he had to go in anyway, Qin Ban gritted his teeth, pulled up the hem of his clothes and walked in boldly.

"Chen, see Your Majesty." After saluting, Qin Ban unexpectedly said another sentence: "Your Majesty, are you calling me to enter the palace?"

"..." Even Emperor Sui, who dotes on Qin Ban, felt helpless when he asked Qin Ban's brainless question, and twitched the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.After holding back for a long time, he asked, "Did Zixian go to the suburbs today?"

Qin Ban straightened his body and replied, "Yes."

"Get up first, and take a seat." Sui Emperor saw that Qin Ban was so tired that he was bending over, so he was very considerate and asked someone to move a chair and put it aside.

Sitting on that chair, Qin Ban kept thinking whether he should go to the outskirts of the city?Could it be that His Majesty doesn't want the ministers to pay too much attention to this matter?Did His Majesty send someone to watch me because he was wary of what I did?

"Don't think about it alone. You and Zhang Ji are using the guards who guard the city, of course I will know." Sui Emperor looked at Qin Ban sitting there, but his eyes were dripping non-stop. I know that his heart is torn apart.He didn't care what Qin Ban thought, so he said, "I asked you to enter the palace, just to ask what you saw when you went to the outskirts of the city this time? What do you think of this incident?"

As the emperor, he couldn't absolve himself of the blame for such a big incident.I have always wanted to see the suffering people in the outskirts of the city, but after all, I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so I can't joke easily.If he really went, if something went wrong, it would not be about his life alone, but a major event for Da Sui.

So when I heard that Qin Ban actually went to the outskirts of the city and brought a lot of food with him.On the one hand, he was relieved that Qin Ban cared about the common people and was willing to use the Qin family's financial resources to do things for the country.At the same time, I can't wait to learn from my close relatives, nephews and nephews, what the ministers who are used to beautifying the people's experience now feel are facing the hardships of the suburban refugees.

The Qin family is not Qin Ban's first official. Naturally, he knows that those ministers will often beautify the suffering of the people many times in order to make the emperor feel that they have done something.Now that Emperor Sui asked, he considered it for a while, but in the end he still couldn't bear to let Emperor Sui continue to be kept in the dark.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the people in the outskirts of the city can't eat enough to wear and keep warm. When they are sick, no one sees myrrh. In the outskirts of the city, a hundred quantities of gold are probably not as popular as a mouthful of white rice porridge." Eyes, went on to say: "Although the people along the Yellow River were not rich, they were self-sufficient enough. But this catastrophe forced the simple and honest people to fight for a bite of coarse grain cake. Respect the old and love the young These are all things that survive in their memories, but those memories are all under heavy shackles."

"Is that so..." Emperor Sui clenched his hands into fists, and his heart was not as calm as it looked: "It's my fault for making them homeless."

Qin Ban didn't speak. As a courtier, he could only point out some things, but he couldn't do anything else.Emperor Sui's self-examination is wise, but if they followed the words of Emperor Sui, it would be treasonous.

"Zixian, among the ministers, I trust you the most. This time the embankment in the Yellow River Basin was breached, can I let you investigate secretly?" It was proposed by those people in the Ministry, and it was also built by those people.Now that something goes wrong, it's hard to guarantee that the people in the Ministry of Industry will be in the same boat.

Qin Ban looked at Emperor Sui in embarrassment, and wanted to refuse, but couldn't say no.After a long time, he sighed and said, "I accept the order."

To be honest, he is a member of the household department, so it's hard to justify meddling in this nosy business.But probably His Majesty saw that he had nothing to do in the Ministry of Households. Shouldn't the previous birthday banquet be a matter of the Ministry of Rites?For a reason, taking over this matter is probably more troublesome and dangerous than receiving envoys at birthday banquets.

On the way out of the palace, Qin Ban thought for a long time how he should tell his parents about this matter.It seems that he has not been back for a long time. Last time he came back from the frontier, he promised his mother that his parents would not travel far after that.

☆, 110

During dinner, Qin Ban didn't know how to speak to his parents about this matter.No matter how you look at it, the way you look at it with your head down and eat hard is suspicious.

Liu An saw that Qin Ban had already eaten several mouthfuls of white rice in a row, but he didn't pick up a single chopstick of food.Considerately picked up a chopstick for Qin Ban, the people in the house went to the fish market to buy braised fish with fresh fish this morning.In the end, because Qin Ban was in a hurry to eat, he just swallowed it without looking at it. He was stuck by the fishbone and could only swallow the food anxiously, trying to slow down.

"Eat as soon as you eat. You look so out of your mind because the food in our Qin family is not good. Do you feel aggrieved or something?" Qin Wei looked at Qin Ban who had been restless since serving the table, and now he was caught by the fishbone again. Throat, anxious, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt angry.

Fortunately, the fish that Qin Ban ate just now was thorned by Liu An, but a small thorn was not found, so it got stuck in his throat.After being instructed by Mrs. Qin to swallow a big mouthful of unchewed rice, the fishbone went down quickly.It's just that I eat finely in normal times, and my throat is not tortured.At this moment, I don't know whether it is the fault of the fishbone or the scratch from eating too much food, but I feel a tingling in my throat.

"It's my fault, I didn't pick out the thorns." Liu An used to not see Qin Ban's grievances.Now that Qin Ban's eyes are watery because of the fishbone, even though he knows that he is not wronged because of Qin Wei's words, he still feels distressed.Without even thinking about it, he jumped out to help Qin Ban offend him.

Qin Wei is this person, it's fine if you follow him in everything, but once someone jumps out to question his authority.The official who had lived in the officialdom for a long time jumped out of his temper.Blowing his beard and glaring at Liu An, who was obviously protecting Qin Ban, he said, "You are a general after all. Although you don't have real power, you're not going to help others choose fishbone! If you think he's right about what happened today, Then you might as well just resign from the office and serve him in the mansion every day!"

These words were harsh, let alone Qin Ban and Xun Xia, even Qin Wei frowned for his own wife.

Mrs. Qin tugged on Qin Wei's sleeve, wanting to tell him to discipline the children, but don't overdo it, that would be boring.Unexpectedly, Qin Wei pushed her hand away with a flick of his sleeve.That stubborn look made his teeth itch.

"Why are you fierce? The old man doesn't care if you are violent against your own son, why should you be violent against my apprentice?" Xun Xia himself is not a good-tempered person, especially after these years of wandering clouds and wild cranes.Not only did he not look down on life at all, but his bad temper became even more unreasonable because of the lack of rules.

Seeing Qin Wei say that about Liu An now, he would definitely not do it.My apprentice can fight whatever he wants, but if someone else treats him as dead?

"My Xun Xia's apprentices are all people who do great things! Even the old man, I have never enjoyed the treatment that this kid picks fishbone. He loves his wife. Could it be that there is something wrong?" feel angry.This apprentice who was fortunate enough to be brought up turned out to be a wife who forgot his mother, cough, no no no, he forgot his master: "I tell you, you old man, don't put your nose on your face!"

old!match!husband! ! !

Qin Wei was so angry that he waited for his eyes, only to feel that his breath would not go well and he would soon be unable to breathe.If it were someone else, he would have rolled up his sleeves to tell others right and wrong, but this person is Xun Xia!

Even if some things can be swallowed in the stomach, it still feels like holding back internal injuries.

"Hmph!" He couldn't be as knowledgeable as Xun Xia, so he had no choice but to turn the cannonballs back on Qin Ban: "So, why are you so out of your mind? It's just a trip to the palace. Is there a lack of it on weekdays or something? ? Could it be that you have provoked something again, and His Majesty demoted you? Hiss!"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Qin's hand twisted hard on his arm.It's not easy to make a joke. If the son is really demoted again, is it possible that she is the only one who can't cry?

Qin Ban took a complicated look at Qin Wei, who was not far from what he said, but in fact he was pretty much inseparable.The person who looked at him panicked.Even Qin Wei regretted it, don't let his crow's mouth make it right?

"Actually... His Majesty announced me to enter the palace today because he knew about my going to the outskirts of the city." After thinking about it, I still didn't know how to say it, so I had to start with the easy-to-accept and explain in detail.Qin Ban took a deep breath, and continued, "Your Majesty cares about the people in the suburbs, so he asked me to enter the palace to ask about the specific situation."

"This is a good thing. Your Majesty has those people in mind, so he will definitely take the relief of the victims into his heart. Then those people will be better off." Qin Wei didn't understand if it was because of this that he did it. Is your son restless?It's not a big deal, it's normal.Besides, His Majesty summoned him, which meant that His Majesty really trusted Qin Ban, which was a great thing for Qin Ban in any way.

Poking the rice with chopsticks, this kind of behavior would never be done by ordinary Qin Ban.Because of the number of faux pas.It's just that he cooked it very smoothly today, and between poking and prodding, the good bowl of rice was almost turned into a honeycomb: "It's good, but... Your Majesty trusts me too much."

"..." Looking at Qin Ban's awkward look, I don't know why, although he didn't say anything, but the people at the table, even Xun Xia, who is the most unfamiliar with Qin Ban, felt that what he was about to say next was not what a good thing.Lao Gao was raised with all his heart, but the person concerned still looked slow, which made people feel anxious and uncomfortable.In the end, it was Qin Wei who relied on being his own son, and couldn't restrain his temper: "I have something to say! I gave birth to a son and not a girl. What does it look like to hesitate?"

In fact, if it wasn't for the fear that his father would be angry if he said this, otherwise he really wanted to tell his father, "That's probably because my father gave birth to the wrong gender for me."

"Hey, Your Majesty wants me to go to Tianshui to secretly investigate what happened to the flood."

"Don't go, go back!" Qin Wei slapped the table almost without thinking.Indeed, although this matter represents His Majesty's trust in Qin Ban, let alone the fact that there is still a flood in Tianshui and everyone has gone out, how can anyone go in?Just thinking about what Qin Ban will face if something is really found out after this, he firmly disagrees with his son to face these.

Mrs. Qin is a woman after all, since her husband has already expressed her thoughts, she naturally doesn't say much.It's just that her eyes clearly indicated her position.

Not to mention Liu An, he cared about Qin Ban no less than Qin's parents.The moment Qin Ban said this, he already understood the power of it.Back then when he joined the army with the second prince, he wanted to make a career out of his own strength.So that Qin Ban doesn't have to worry about getting scared.If Qin Ban wanted to, he could display his talents and ambitions unscrupulously. If he didn't want to, then he could afford to stay in the mansion and Qin Ban wouldn't be too different from being in the Qin mansion.

Although he is not successful now, he still has a bit of a bad reputation.If he was asked to do it instead at this time, he would happily accept the order and go to Tianshui.But if it was Qin Ban, he was absolutely unwilling.

"But... I have already accepted it." Qin Ban was also helpless about this matter. Under the circumstances at that time, Emperor Sui trusted him so much and entrusted him with this important task.Even if he didn't want to, he couldn't refuse: "Your Majesty always just talks to us, rather than seeking our opinions."Now don't just ask him to do something that benefits the Sui Dynasty and the people, even if it is meaningless to ask him to die, he can only go to the guillotine, right?

Qin Wei was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he ate a little of the food at the table at the beginning. Once this happened, no one could eat.

It was late at night, Qin Cai and Fuman waited for him to change clothes and rest.Qin Ban just felt that it had been a long time since he had a proper conversation with Qin Cai.Seeing that Liu An didn't intend to come to him tonight, he naturally pulled Qin Cai to sit at the table: "Cousin, do you also think that I shouldn't take this job from His Majesty?"

When Qin Ban was young, he always liked to call him Cousin Qin Cai, no matter what he said, it didn't work.I still remember that at that time, Qin Ban acted like a grown-up and retorted to others, "Fat Cai was originally my distant elder brother, and now even though he entered the mansion and became my school boy, there is nothing wrong with being called cousin"!

It's just that as the two of them got older, although Qin Ban treated Qin Cai as well as before, the word cousin was called less because of the boy's shyness.

Now, after a long time, Qin Cai's heart trembled when he heard Qin Ban call his cousin again.He raised his head and looked seriously at Qin Ban's face and said, "Young master must have a reason for doing this. There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. If you want to do it, then do it. This is right." No matter what the young master wants to do, Qin Cai will stand by your side, but can you stop telling me to wait for you in the mansion?"

He is Qin Ban's personal book boy, to put it more bluntly, he is a servant with status.It's just that Qin Ban regards him as a family member, so he should naturally return his sincerity.

Whether it was public or private, he felt that as long as Qin Ban made the choice, it must be right.It's just that he doesn't want to be tied down in the Qin Mansion for reasons like Qin Ban went to the frontier last time.He couldn't see when Qin Ban needed help, and he didn't know whether Qin Ban was in danger.

Qin Ban didn't expect Qin Cai to say that.He has long known that Qin Cai is loyal to him and obeys orders.In fact, he felt that even if Qin Cai was in high school, he was not suitable to be an official.After all, to be an official is to obey His Majesty, but in Qin Cai's eyes, he will definitely regard himself as his only master.

"Okay, this time you go to Tianshui with me." Qin Ban picked out the candle that was about to fall, and said, "Actually, I don't think there is any danger this time. Parents and the others are thinking too much."

☆, 111

Originally thought that Liu An was not going to look for him tonight because he was angry with him.Unexpectedly, not long after Qin Cai left, he saw Liu An standing at his door silently hugging his pillow.

Qin Banjue was amused, waved at the man and said, "General Liu, what are you doing standing in front of my door with your pillow in your arms at night when the dew is heavy? If you want to talk at night by candlelight, you can go to bed and talk with the door closed. If you just pass by, you should go back to the house to rest earlier, so as not to catch the cold. Then the gain will not be worth the loss." Knowing that Liu An was suffocating, Qin Ban deliberately pretended not to know.The pretty eyebrows were stretched, and the body leaned on the table in a comfortable manner.He turned his head slightly towards Liu An's direction. It looks good that way, but no matter how you look at it, it makes your teeth itch.

Liu An is also stubborn, clearly wearing a single shirt.Although the weather is not felt during the day, it is still unbearable at night.He just stood there motionless like a rock.

He just came back from the master.Xun Xia didn't object to Qin Ban's going to Tianshui.As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are found in danger, Qin Ban said that the opportunity is far greater than the danger.It's just a bit of trouble, but whenever he came back from Tianshui to check or didn't find anything, the trust of Emperor Sui in him would be multiplied day by day.

Today, Emperor Sui is in good health, seeing that he doesn't even have a cold and abdominal pain very often, so it's not surprising that he will still be in power for a long time.Like this kind of world, you are not as direct as the most noble one.It's just that the most difficult to curry favor with is also that one.

What Qin Ban will face is an excellent opportunity.As long as you can do it, you must stand out and have a bright future.Coupled with the good relationship with the crown prince and the second prince, there is no need to worry about it for the rest of his life.Living here in Qin Ban is like a pie that fell from the sky.If it is according to his intention, it is also advocating that Qin Ban seize the opportunity well.

He couldn't get comfort from his master, so he ran to his room in a full stomach.The result was good, and I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time.I had no choice but to look for Qin Ban with the pillow in my arms.But when people really got to the door, they found that they didn't know what to say.It was hard to muster up the courage to open the door.As a result, the person who made him unable to sleep was still smiling.In normal times, he must be happy to see Qin Ban happy every day, but now he thinks that he is in a hurry to get angry, but Qin Ban doesn't care at all, and feels wronged for some reason.

Qin Ban had just suddenly become playful, and he didn't want to make the atmosphere so embarrassing.That's why I made such a joke.But looking at Liu An's state now, it is obviously wrong.He sighed, got up and pulled the person standing at the door in.When closing the door, he even complained: "Don't you know if it's cold? This hand is almost turning into a lump of ice, and it's still there."

It's fine if Qin Ban doesn't say anything, but Liu An feels even more wronged when he mentions it.Withdrawing his hand, he didn't even know that he could still be so petty.

"What? Could it be that I said something wrong?" Qin Ban couldn't bear to be let go of Liu An's hand for the first time, so he just said blindly: "Look at you, what a big deal you are. Angry, it hurts my heart to still think about freezing myself. Even the Hubu Shangshu you often laugh at is more masculine than you."

"I don't want you to go to Tianshui." Liu An did not refute Qin Ban's "defamation" of him, but just fixed his eyes on Qin Ban's face, and then conveyed his simplest idea to him.Sometimes, when encountering some things that he doesn't know how to say, he will choose the most straightforward words to express.

Qin Ban was choked up by this sudden uprightness, and he sighed for a long time: "But as a minister, I should solve the monarch's worries and problems. Besides, if I can really find out something this time, it will also benefit the people. It's a good deed. It's not easy for me to refuse, whether it's public or private." He also understood why Liu An and his parents didn't want him to go.But in fact, he is not a treasure that can only be held in the palm of their hands.He has long been a person who can stand alone and hold up a sky for them.

Liu An understood that what Qin Ban said was correct, and of course he knew that this kind of thing could not be changed.He was just sticking the needle at the end: "I am afraid that you will encounter danger and that you will suffer. When I went out with the second prince, my only belief was to be a person comparable to you in the future. It is best to support you. God. I want you to do what you like to do under my protection. I don't want you to risk yourself, even for the people of Li. I am not your majesty, and neither are you. There is no one in the world that is important to you .”

Qin Ban felt that even his fingertips began to tremble with excitement.Liu An usually doesn't know how to speak, he is stupid.But if it is really said, it can make people feel heart-wrenching.

"Then you go with me, and I will tell His Majesty that this trip is dangerous and needs someone to help." Liu An is now an official, no more than Qin Cai who said he wanted to take him away.It's just that if you really want to talk about it, His Majesty should not disagree.After all, this request is reasonable.

Qin Ban comforted Liu An's emotions, and finally seeing Liu An's eyebrows relaxed a little, he directly sent himself up.If he had time to think so much, he believed that he could make Liu An understand what was in front of him and not think too much about it.Just like Qin Cai, he felt that every decision he made was right, wouldn't it be fine?

Although Qin Ban said from the beginning that he must be in the lower position.But in fact, who is the proud son of heaven, who is used to giving orders from birth, how can he not be strong?For Liu An he loves, who said that only those in the upper ranks are conquered?

☆, 112

Not many people knew about Qin Ban's going out this time.Even Cao Qi just knew not to come to Qin Ban in the near future, and he probably won't see anyone.But when asked why, Qin Ban only got an ambiguous answer.

It's not that Qin Ban thinks Cao Qi is unreliable and doesn't trust him, it's just that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.What's more, if something really happened, it wouldn't hurt Cao Qi and the others.Like the prince and the others because they couldn't hide it, besides, not many people dared to attack the prince and the others.As for Cao Qi and Lin Xi, they wisely chose not to speak.

Rejecting his mother's suggestion to bring a servant and guard, Qin Ban only brought Liu An and Qin Cai, and at most a coachman.

"Master, how should we investigate when we go to Tianshui?" Even though Qin Cai has been with Qin Ban for so long, he doesn't know much about these aspects.Qin Ban even laughed at him once.

Under normal circumstances, going out with Qin Ban means that the young master will go and do whatever the young master says, and he will do it without hesitation.But this time, for some reason, he didn't want to just follow the young master, but wanted to be a person who could help the young master like Liu An.When the young master has omissions, he will make up in time, and when he is confused, he will express his humble opinion.The most important point is that he feels that compared to the young master and Liu An, who have official positions, it is inevitable that the people from the Ministry of Industry will recognize them if they are also officials in the same dynasty here.It is most appropriate for him to inquire about a lot of news.

Qin Ban smiled slightly: "You said that I must tell why the dam collapsed, and I am not a person who is proficient in related books such as "Water Construction Classic" and "Zao Zao Shi" in the Ministry of Industry. I am afraid that the three of us will be rooted. I can't see the reason behind the river basin. As for those local officials, they have always been more protective of each other. In my opinion, if we really want to start, we should start with the people.

Building the embankment was a big project at that time, and many migrant workers were recruited.I believe that no one knows what is going on with this dam better than those who participated in its construction.Now, although everyone is running away, there will be people who don't want to or can't escape.We'll start there when the time comes. "

Qin Cai looked at Qin Ban with blinking eyes, and sure enough their young master is the most powerful person!

As for Liu An, he kept frowning as if he didn't know what he was thinking.Qin Ban said: "You look preoccupied when you come out of the capital, what's wrong?"

Liu An was sitting well, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the side poked his waist.Because of the itching, I immediately came back to my senses: "Huh?"

"The young master asked you what's wrong? I'm worried. You haven't arrived in Tianshui yet, you just set off from the capital. When you arrive in Tianshui, you're so worried that you can't even sleep?" Qin Cai and Liu An have a good relationship. Liu An's identity has changed, but the way he talks to Liu An cannot be changed for a while.It just so happened that neither of them felt that there was anything wrong, so they maintained this situation.

Qin Ban raised his eyebrows, and turned his gaze to Liu An.

"I'm just worried, where should we live when we get to Tianshui?" Liu An's frown just revealed that the deepest worry in his heart is this tricky but actually the most common problem.

Qin Ban and Qin Cai, who had never been worried about food and lodging before, were stunned for a moment.Now that the Yellow River basin is flooded, many houses have been washed away, and the people themselves can only stay in the few surviving houses far from the river bank.Like them, they are still thinking about concealing their identities: "This is a problem..." He pondered for a while, and then said simply: "Anyway, there are still a few days until we arrive, so let's talk about it then. It's really not possible Just find some common people's clothes and put them on, and go squeeze the houses of the people."

"..." Let alone Liu An, even Qin Cai stared at Qin Ban with a special gaze.

Not to mention anything else, just Qin Ban's temperament, no one would think that he would be an ordinary citizen.Even if you believe it, what about this face that is thousands of times more prominent than your temperament?

Qin Ban turned his head and smiled, ignoring the strange faces of the two.

In this way, within a few days, the group of four arrived in Tianshui.In the previous county, the four of them changed into ordinary people's clothes.Probably figured out that he couldn't pretend to be an ordinary person anymore, so Qin Ban was very self-aware and only bought some clothes that looked a little plain.In fact, the material is still good.Thinking of himself as a merchant, anyway, he got along with Chen Qian and the others a lot when he was in Xiushui.I also understand the general behavior of words and deeds, and there should be no mistakes.

It is said that after a catastrophe, what is more terrifying than not having food and drink is the plague.Fortunately, the people in Tianshui have years of experience in fighting disasters, so they don't have to make the place they live in so dirty.But don't expect a group of people who have problems eating and drinking to have the leisure to think about such trivial things as bathing and changing clothes every day.

After Qin Cai passed by a person, he couldn't bear to cover his mouth and nose.Frowning expressed his discomfort.Not to mention after being with Qin Ban, even before being with Qin Ban, although their family is not considered rich, they are not poor.Like the smell on that person just now, it will never be able to be suppressed for seven or eight days.Most of the days when the water is flooded are in autumn, and the smell of the previous day has not been washed away, and the smell of the next day has piled up again.Coupled with the heat, the whole person feels unbearable as if he was fished out of a bucket of soaked water.

"Tsk tsk, Fa Cai, I didn't see how delicate you are." Qin Ban himself felt that the smell was unpleasant, but he didn't directly cover his mouth and nose because he wanted to put on a show.This gave him a chance to make fun of Qin Cai.He patted Qin Cai's head with the handle of his fan, smiling happily.In order to express his "rich and rich" atmosphere belonging to merchants, he also specially changed his favorite landscape painting fan, and replaced it with an ordinary white-faced fan with an ebony handle.What made people feel powerless to complain was that Qin Ban drew a huge gold ingot on the originally plain white fan.There are also a lot of copper coins around, and the fish swimming is obviously a sign of asking for money.

After Qin Cai was laughed at, he couldn't help but blushed and puffed his cheeks and said, "Master!" After thinking about it, he and Qin Ban couldn't explain why, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The environment here is too It’s bad, you said, even if you can live in a house that hasn’t been washed away, what if there are so many people in that house that everyone smells like this?”

Qin Ban's face also froze.The smell just now was really not pleasant.He thought about it, and felt itchy all over his body.

Liu An hilariously stopped Qin Ban's waist from behind, and then said to Qin Cai: "Go to the village first to check the situation, as long as you can avoid the people from the Ministry of Industry. We will say that we are passing by here for business." They shouldn't be in trouble."

Qin Cai's face is vivid, and he can go into the village to find out where Shang Shu and the others live, and they can bypass it.

Seeing the scene of Qin Cai walking away, even Qin Ban felt helpless and wanted to sigh.How do you walk and jump?Looking more and more like a child.

"Brother, I followed our young master. I happened to come to Tianshui. I also learned that there was a flood here, and there is no place to rest. Please tell me where I can teach us to rest. Are you resting?" Qin Cai also saw a lot in Xiushui.After really leaving their young master, he still speaks a little bit.Although he spoke in a calmer tone and did a little more work, isn't this a sign that even the servants of rich and noble families feel superior to others?

The elder brother who was held back by Qin Cai was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously: "It's the goods?" Then his eyes lit up: "Then do you have bronze mirrors for sale in your family?"

"……"What?What the hell?Bronze mirror? !Qin Cai felt baffled. I was talking to you about business and asking you questions, but if I didn't find them, I would have to hide in the wild or sleep on the carriage!As a result, the elder brother asked if they had bronze mirrors for sale?Taking ten thousand steps back, in the face of such a catastrophe, even food and clothing are a problem, who still thinks about whether the mirror is bronze or not?This thing can't be eaten or worn, and it's not even as practical as half a steamed bun.

The eldest brother seemed to feel that his words were too abrupt and unreasonable, and immediately waved his hands and explained: "If you can give me the bronze mirror, I can ask you to live in my house. My house is not far ahead. One of the few provincial houses that was not affected by the flood this time. Although my house is not as good as the Zhizhou Mansion where the high officials live, it is not bad for ordinary people."

"Oh?" Qin Cai was a little surprised by this unexpected joy.

The elder brother seemed to be afraid that Qin Cai would not believe him, so he even asked Qin Cai to go to his house to see: "There are not many people living in my house. Because the little girl is sick, if it weren't for people's fearful words, I wouldn't even know these few families." I will accept it. When my daughter was seven years old, I gave her a bronze mirror. It was accidentally broken two days ago. Because of this, my daughter was really heartbroken. I had no choice but to comfort her and say that there will be a new one. Yes. But at this time, where is there any bronze mirror seller? I also want to look for it, but after all, I don’t feel at ease leaving the little girl alone at home. I was worried about what to do, and I met... um... Mr. you."

Only then did Liu An realize that he was almost at home with someone, but the two of them hadn't exchanged names yet.

"I'm under Qin Cai, and I can't talk about a son. He's just a book boy of my young master. If the elder brother doesn't mind asking me to get rich, it's okay.

This year, the dam originally built by the imperial court stopped the water, but suddenly the dam collapsed.

It would have been fine if it hadn't been stopped at the beginning, but if it was stopped, the water accumulated much more than before.Then rushing over would be terrifying.It is said that there are several houses that did not suffer.But in fact, it just didn't fall. "

Qin Cai couldn't say much after hearing this explanation: "Brother Zhang, don't be nervous, I will come to you when I go back and ask our young master. Now it is really unrealistic to say that we are going to the next best place. Let's Although I have never encountered... um, like this, but I am used to suffering when I go out."

Qin Cai went to the county, leaving behind Qin Ban and Liu An.The fatigue of the carriages and horses on this road makes people feel bone
