The rebirth of the son-in-law

Xi Ji was blushing when she said it, she didn't know these truths, she just thought it was easy to say.

"Thank you, thank you." She liked Qu He even more in her heart, secretly delighted that Qu He was so outstanding and talented.

"Okay, okay, don't chat at the door, let's go on our way." Song Zhi couldn't stand it any longer, and winked at Dou Tu frequently, asking him to stop the weird atmosphere. Dou Tu fulfilled his mission and smiled at him Xie Ji said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk on the road."

Xi Ji nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes." Turning to Qing Nu, she said, "Qing Nu, pull the horse over."

Qingnu pulled three horses from the herd, a black-maned horse, a yellow puma, and a white Dawan horse named Yuzhao Lion.Song Zhi was familiar with the black-maned horse, so he naturally took the black-maned horse, but he saw that Ji Ji took the Yuzhao lion from Qingnu and handed it to Princess Xianning, saying: "This Yuzhao lion is a Western domain horse, nine feet tall, is It's a rare horse, but it has a weak temper and is very suitable for Naruto to ride."

Princess Xianning declined with a smile: "Since it is a divine horse, how can He ride it? Let's ask Xi Ji to borrow an ordinary horse."

Ji Ji persuaded again, but Princess Xianning refused to accept it.Xi Ji had no choice but to give up, and asked someone to pull out a better white horse, and rode the Yuzhao lion herself.That Yuzhao lion was originally her mount, Song Zhi of course recognized it.

After some concessions and horse selection, they finally set off.Slowly reaching the gate of the city, the gatekeepers wanted to stop them again. The Qing Nu threw the money bag away, and the soldiers stepped aside, letting the group of women and two men leave the city.

The outside of the city was empty, not as restrictive as the inside of the city. Everyone picked up their horse speed and rushed towards the direction of Changsha Kingdom.

Xi Ji's horse was fast and ran all the way ahead, Song Zhi was poor in equestrian skills and couldn't run at high speed, Princess Xianning kept the same speed as the two of them in order to take care of Song Zhi and Dou Tu who was hollowed out by wine.When Ji Ji turned her head and saw that none of them were in a hurry, she stopped urging the horse to run and waited for a while for them to catch up.

"Ji Ji, you are from Changsha, can you tell us about the fun places in Changsha?" Song Zhi asked her excitedly as he drove through the wilderness, his depression dissipated.

Xi Ji turned around, laughed, and chatted with her: "Changsha has 22 counties under its jurisdiction: Linxiang, Luo, Yiyang, Liandao, Chengyang, Hao, Zhaoling, Rongling, Chaling, Xiangan, Hui, Chen, Yingpu, Nanping, Chongling, Lingdao, Ancheng, Guiyang, Guanyang, Taoyang, Lingdao, Xiajun. Changsha is in Linxiang, and we are going to Linxiang. The most interesting things in Linxiang Quite a few, the mansion of Jia Yi, the former Grand Tutor of Changsha, was kept by the king, as well as the Wang'an Terrace built by Changsha King Liu Fa of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Tongque Terrace built by the King. Of course, if you have time, you can go to Liandao County to see it. The local conditions and customs are not inferior to Linxiang. Last year, the king merged Liandao County and Yiyang County into Liancheng County, and when he played the Son of Heaven, His Majesty named the king's younger sister Princess Liancheng to show his favor."

It turns out that the Changsha State jurisdiction at this time is not just Changsha County, but also includes Guiyang County and Lingling County in the south.Last year, the emperor conferred the title of Princess Liancheng on the sister of the Changsha king, but the actual enfeoffment was only two counties. He said that the reward was not generous, but Liancheng had two counties with [-] households, and Princess Xianning's feudal cities were only Xianning, Jiayu, Puqi, and Chongyang. , Tongcheng, Yangxin, and Wuchang counties only.Ordinary people desperately want to be a Marquis of Wanhu, but in fact they are talking about a Marquis of Wanhu County, while the owner of Liancheng County enjoys the tax of [-] households.

It is said to be too heavy, but it is called the princess, only two counties are not one county, there is too much water, and the gold content is not very high.But in Changsha Kingdom, besides the Queen Mother, the King of Changsha, the Taifu, and the Prime Minister, he is almost the fifth person.

Song Zhi was envious when he heard it, but Princess Xianning was indifferent.

"I heard that there is a mausoleum of the prime minister of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty in the eastern suburbs of Linxiang City. I wonder if this is true?" Song Zhi suddenly remembered that a famous prime minister's tomb was dug up in Changsha City in his previous life. "Mawangdui", there is also a thousand-year-old female corpse in it. The female corpse is the wife of the prime minister of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty, and her name is Xin Zhui.

I almost forgot that my job is archaeology.In this life, it is impossible for her to go to the tomb again, otherwise she will be beaten to death by the ancient natives, digging up the grave and digging up the corpse is a wicked thing.

Xi Ji asked strangely: "Is there such a thing? I don't know."

Song Zhi also felt that this question was embarrassing, no one cared about the graves of the great figures in the previous dynasty, as if they were touching Captain Jin.She lowered her head, kicked the horse's belly, and rushed out.

In this way, Ji Ji became side by side with Princess Xianning, she couldn't help secretly happy, she only thought that Song Zhi understood her mind too well.But Princess Xianning seemed to have no intention of opening her mouth to chat, so Xi Ji began to think about the topic.

"Mingzhi, is there anything important for you to go to Changsha? Do you want to stay for a while and leave, or do you want to stay?"

Princess Xianning looked back at Xi Ji while riding the horse, and said with a light smile, "I'm going to Changsha, and I should stay for a while." After a pause, she said, "Azhi and I are going to find some work in Changsha. , or as a servant, or as a teacher, it's fine."

Dou Tu, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two, saw that Princess Xianning had started throwing bait, and hurriedly said loudly: "My lord must not! My lord is a dragon and phoenix among people, full of knowledge, although she is not a son of a family, but she is also a descendant of an eunuch. As an official, how can you be willing to degenerate?"

Princess Xianning sighed: "There is no need to say this again. I don't want to bribe an official with money. A scholar must not do this! As a servant, I can support my family and make Ah Zhi's life better. I can also feel at ease."

"But my lord has been studying for ten years, and the Sangong's mansion once hired him to be a servant. How can I be worthy of my lord?"

Xi Ji was even more surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that this person who looked like a descendant of an aristocratic family was actually a celebrity who refused to be hired by the Sangong.She was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "The consultant is right! Mingzhi, you have a scholarly family and a celebrity, how can you work as a servant for others? What a man should think about is serving the government and the people. You have great ambitions." If you have the ambition, Changsha Kingdom will definitely allow you to make great achievements."

"It's easy to say, but it's a pity that I have nowhere to go, how can I be favored by the king." Princess Xianning shook her head and sighed sadly.

"It's easy!" Ji Ji said anxiously, "To become an official, you only need to be recommended by someone. If you are interested, I can recommend it for you!"

Princess Xianning kept her expression on her face, and said with a sense of loss: "You and I met by chance, and I am grateful for your care all the way. How can I use you? Well, I really wanted to flex my muscles in the imperial court. A role model, it's a pity that time is not with me." After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and chased after Song Zhi.

Ji Ji didn't know who Qu He was talking about, so she humbly asked Dou Tu for advice, "Who is Guo Zhongsun?"

Dou Tu explained: "Guo Zhongsun, named Gong, styled Zhongsun. He was an official of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a native of Yangzhai, Yingchuan. His father, Guo Hong, was a celebrity after being out of prison for 30 years. When he was young, he passed on his father's career, taught law, and had hundreds of disciples. People. Later, he became a county official and levied the government. He advocated that the trial and sentencing should be lenient and lighter. Two brothers committed a crime. The Han Emperor ordered one to die and the other to commute the sentence. The emperor asked Guo Zhongsun if he could execute the envoy, Guo Zhongsun said that the envoy was a slip of the tongue, and in the law there is a distinction between intentional homicide and manslaughter, since it is a slip of the tongue, it should be punished as manslaughter, and the Emperor of Han naturally pardoned the envoy." Turned, "My lord likes to judge cases in prisons. He wants to put an end to the injustice of the world. That's why he offends the dignitaries in the court and damages their interests, so that he is hunted down."

Unexpectedly, Qu He was hunted down because he was too upright!Looking at Qu He's back, Xie Ji made up the image of a hero in his brain, strong and strong, mighty and unyielding, a celebrity with real talents and real learning!Xi Ji was almost moved to tears, and almost yelled out such shameful words as "Sansheng is lucky to meet Qulang".She made up her mind that such a talent must not be missed, and must be recommended to the king!

Seeing her excited and complacent look, Dou Tu shuddered in his heart, and silently compared Song Zhi with Xie Ji—very good, the son-in-law is cuter.

A group of people went to Linxiang City, the capital of Changsha, and slept in the open air all the way. When it got dark, they would camp in the wild, or find a place to live when they encountered a village.

Song Zhi had been driving for a whole day, and the flesh of her inner thigh was almost worn out, and the pain was so painful that she almost couldn't stand still when she went down to the ground.Among the group of people, only Dou Tu was as hard-working as her. They were not like Princess Xianning, who had been trained since childhood, and they were not like Xi Ji and her maid, who were so strong that they could catch up with soldiers in the army.In the past, Song Zhi was weak and could only be laughed at, but now with Dou Tu, she laughed at Dou Tu first, and then was limped and half-supported by Princess Xianning to the hut.

They settled down in a small village one day's journey from Jiangling. The owners of the thatched hut were an old woman and a little girl. water for them to drink.Song Zhi didn't have the heart to drink water, so he was sent to sit on the straw bed while panting.

The old woman came in tremblingly with a cane, stood at the door and looked at Song Zhi's situation, her old voice was full of kindness: "Miss, are you injured?"

Princess Xianning got up, turned her head and smiled at the old woman: "My lord, my cousin was injured while riding a horse. Is there any place in this village that sells medicine?"

The old woman thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, showing her toothless gums: "Yes! Yes! You wait!" She turned and walked out, calling the little girl's name outside the door, "Son, go get the first two The medicine that has been dried in the sun is here, hurry up!"

Princess Xianning heard the shouts of children outside and the sound of fast running footsteps, and the old woman turned and came in again. Princess Xianning went up to meet her, and quickly took the herbs handed by the old woman, saying: "Thank you, sir." She took out a handful from her bosom Five plants of money were handed to her, "This is the boy's wish."

The old woman refused, and Princess Xianning coaxed: "I will buy some food for the children. If the old man refuses to accept it, the boy will not accept your herbs."

The old lady frowned, thought about it, accepted it, thanked her, and withdrew.Princess Xianning walked in front of Song Zhi and was stunned.

Her face was tangled, and she hesitated to speak.
