Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Meng Qi used his hands as pillows and leaned comfortably against the wall of the car.

Although with their lightness skills, they can walk much faster than a horse-drawn carriage, but this kind of people don't need to work hard on their own, as long as they control the reins and let the horse go along a path, the days of being surrounded by someone they like, and having sugar-fried chestnuts in their hands are really happy.

As for the disadvantage, it is probably that he and the doctor must always have one person outside, otherwise the horse will run around and go wherever it wants to go, and once if they are not pulled fast, it will rush into the farmland.

Along the way, Meng Qi taught it a lot.

"How do you know that there are code words in that book of The Golden Lotus?"

The ink carp sat on the rickety shaft, still a little unbelievable.

He only read the beginning of that book, and roughly skipped over the details that he didn't want to read carefully.Love novels actually contain mystery?The only strange thing in the script seems to be——

"The flower shop whose name is mentioned repeatedly?"

"How obvious... unless the author of this script is the owner of the flower shop, and his lotus flowers are out of stock and can't be sold at all, so he made this bad plan."

Mo Li thought to himself, he really thought so.

Meng Qi rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "The doctor is not familiar with the streets of Taijing, so naturally he won't be too suspicious. Everyone who reads this book can't help but go to that address when they go to Dongshi Going around, you may not necessarily buy Lao Shi Zi Jin Lian, but you can't hold back your curiosity."

"So you went?" Mo Li was quite surprised, he wouldn't think of this aspect specially, now that Meng Qi said that, he couldn't help but think about the way of "ordinary people".

If he can understand these things better, does it mean that he is more "human"?

Old Mr. Qin only taught Mo Li how to behave in the world, how to uphold the way of a gentleman, simply put, all the "correct" things, no matter it is beautiful.Love stories or stirring up trouble and watching the excitement are not among them, but Meng Qi has brought these novel experiences.

Zhushan County is too small, and people are too familiar with each other, so it is difficult for major events to happen.

It is also difficult for complex events involving the interests of several parties to occur.

The so-called traveling around the world is precisely to see these things that can never be learned in books-that is, there is an extra Meng Qi that was not planned.

They have many things in common, but also many differences, Mo Li is getting to know each other.

He likes Fat Mouse's complacent look, and Meng Qi's self-confidence when he narrates the pros and cons of things, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.Mo Li regretted that he could not see the heroic posture of Meng Qi leading the army to play with the enemy on top of applause in the last years of the Chen Dynasty.

Thinking about it, the ink carp stuffed another peeled chestnut.

I don't know what Mo Li was thinking, but Meng Qi, who was confident in his own charm, happily opened his mouth to accept.

He was lying upside down, with his head leaning against the side of the curtain, the bump of the carriage and the effect of the wind, the curtain was always fluttering back and forth, which made Mo Li able to see Meng Qi with his head turned.

Doctor Mo glanced at the car curtain and thought it was time to wash it.

He reached out and opened the curtain a little to avoid sweeping Meng Qi's face.

Meng Qi thought it was because Mo Li wanted to see him all the time, thinking that the doctor didn't say anything, but actually liked him very much, look at his every move!

It's like eating a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days, from head to toe, there is not a single pore that is not loose.

Happy to be happy, but Meng Qi decided not to show it, the doctor is very thin-skinned, he has to restrain himself, he can't tell the truth!

Mo Li, who saw all the changes in his expression: "..."

There is only one chestnut, is it worth being so happy?You have to suppress your overjoyed emotions. Is it because you are afraid that you will laugh at him?

So Doctor Mo considerately pretended he didn't see it, and continued with the topic just now.

"Did you visit that flower shop?"

"There is no flower shop. As far as I know, it should be an insole shop in Dongshi."

Mo Li paused when he heard the words. He followed Meng Qi to the East Market in Taijing, which was really an eye-opener. Before that, he never thought that the shops could be divided into such finer details. The shoe shops alone could be divided into seven or eight categories. , and one family will never sell another kind of goods.There are also a lot of insoles, with a variety of patterns, including auspicious pictures of many sons with melons and vines, and patterns of attracting wealth and wealth step by step.

"That shop is called Yuanbaoji." Meng Qi knew that Mo Li couldn't think of the connection, so he said directly, "There is a poem in the previous dynasty, which said that the three-inch golden lotus is like Yuanbao. Although it doesn't sell shoes, it can barely follow The word "Golden Lotus" hangs on the spectrum."

Mo Li frowned slightly, and asked in puzzlement, "Is there something strange about this shop?"

"When I was in Taijing, I couldn't figure out what kind of mystery the person who wrote the story book was playing with. If it was completely irrelevant, he repeated the place name so many times. It couldn't be someone who read the story book and followed the address to find it. Seeing the name of the store, I smiled knowingly."

"Brother Meng, don't be joking." Mo Li was very disgusted with the word Jinlian.

When Qin Lu taught him in his early years, he said that the one who is not ashamed to mutilate young girls as a parent and is prevalent in the north and south of the river is footbinding.There is no such bad habit in Zhushan County. It's not that the people know the truth, but that everyone in the poor family has to work, and it is impossible to bind their feet.

"...the Chu Dynasty once explicitly prohibited women's foot binding, but the implementation did not go smoothly." Meng Qi looked at the roof of the carriage, sat up and said, "The government can't search every house from house to house. Where the emperor is far away, the magistrates are also perfunctory. This problem has been going on for many years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The Jinlianji is originally Yan. The love story book, using this as a hint, probably wants people to find it."

He paused, and then said: "Because I didn't know about the fraud case when I stayed in Taijing, so I didn't think much about the meaning of this hint in the script. It is impossible to know the strangeness of this shop, it depends on the ability of Deputy Commander Gong."

"How did you know that Lu Jie would hand over this matter to Gong Jun?" Mo Li asked suspiciously.

It seems that Gong Jun already has an errand to investigate the crimes of Prime Minister Zhang's cronies. This is not an easy task. Another fraud case, can you be busy?

"Do you still remember how the identity of the abbot of Liuhe Temple on Longzhao Peak was exposed? Gong Jun is probably the best at peeling cocoons and finding threads from a mess. If it were me, I would use him again." Meng Qi hugged Holding his arms, he sneered and said, "I guess he won't have time to go home to hold the raccoon slave. He wants to be a high official and a rich salary, but also wants to live a leisurely life. How is that possible?"

Mo Li felt Meng Qi's unfriendliness to the Deputy Commander Gong, and he wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, he has already left Taijing, and he doesn't need to witness the impact brought by the eight cats with his own eyes.

"He's not an official, but he's also the world's number one master of swordsmanship." Mo Li reminded.

"He became an official to raise raccoon slaves." Meng Qi snorted coldly.

Mo Li suppressed a smile and said, "In the world, everyone has different ambitions. It's not necessary to think about saving the country and the people. As long as you fulfill your duties and don't become an official for the sake of sex and wealth, why not?"

Meng Qi admitted that Doctor Mo was right, but he was still unhappy, so he simply lay back in the car.

"Don't press the medicine bag!" Mo Li turned around and told him worriedly.

Hearing this, Meng Qi moved to the side, looked at the medicine bag and thought, it might not be as important to the doctor as death to him. After all, herbal medicine can cure diseases and save lives, but he can't.

——Wake up, herbs are consumed at any time.

Pushing his knee against the wall of the carriage, Meng Qi angered the carriage angrily, and muttered, "This carriage is still too small, no matter what, I have to put down a low table so that the doctor can sit and read and write."

"It's best to let you lie down completely?" Mo Li added.

Meng Qi blinked, swallowed all the words he had just said, pretending nothing happened, and vetoed: "No, no, how could it be? The size of an ordinary carriage is the most convenient, and a larger one will be cumbersome , a horse pulls hard."

Mo Li said casually: "As long as you become a gerbil, the horse will definitely run faster."

Meng Qi: "..."

What's wrong with the gerbil, the gerbil is not light.

Mo Li took Meng Qi's silence as an objection, and continued: "But I am different. If you put a tank of water in the carriage, whether the horse can drag it is another matter. The carriage probably won't go far before it breaks down. .”

Meng Qi thought to himself, we can't just prepare a water basin, what tank do we need?

Feeling the bumps and shakes of the carriage, Meng Guoshi had no choice but to correct his thoughts. It really must be a water tank, otherwise the fish and water in the basin would be thrown out.

"The road in Yuzhou is really steeper than the mountain road." Meng Qi hurriedly put away the candied chestnuts and the book the doctor had just read.

The carriage cannot run fast on the mountain road, but it is different on the flat road.

The faster the wooden wheel turns, the harder it bumps.

They can't go to the official road. This kind of caravan travels too many lanes, and there are some unsatisfactory things.

"There are people in front." Mo Li lowered the curtain of the carriage, looked ahead, and saw a long motorcade, and there seemed to be a small flag fluttering in front.

Both the flag and the flag are strictly regulated in the etiquette system, and they are a kind of guard of honor. Civilian darts can only use small pennant flags, and the colors are also restricted.

Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and has many big cities.

There is no desolation in Yongzhou here. There are large and small farms connected to each other, with traffic on the rice paddies, and chickens and dogs hearing each other. It seems that the people live and work in peace and contentment in peacetime.On the road, you can often see scattered caravans and dart runners. There are still more than ten miles away from the next city, which is nothing to Mo Li. It's here, but for ordinary people, they need to hurry up to arrive before the city gate closes at sunset.

The cargo was heavy and the movement was slow, the caravan was gradually overtaken by the carriage of the two Moli.

The bodyguard and the tripper looked towards this side vigilantly.

Mo Li has been scrutinized many times along the way, and he is used to it. For this reason, he changed his attire specially, dressed as a traveling scholar, chose taupe clothes, and wore a cloak that could not see the original color, and then went A bamboo hat is buckled on the head.

Although it looks a little cleaner, it doesn't look like you're on your way, but it's not too eye-catching, after all, scholars like to be poor.

The ruts are not deep, which means that there are no heavy things on the car, at most it is a person or a box of books.

If it is really unusual, it is probably the horse of the trailer.

It looks much more energetic than the average poor horse. Although there are many mud spots on the four hooves, it can still be seen that it has a good physique. It is a well-bred horse. Hoofprints are complete and clear.

Anyone whose eyes light up at the sight of this gallant horse will soon be disappointed.

Because it is absolutely a nasty horse.

No matter how well a poor horse is raised, it is still a poor horse that cannot run fast.

Looking at the spirit now, it may be because it is young or the owner is willing to spend money to buy good fodder. Once there is no supply, this horse will disappear.Maybe its owner was cheated by a horse dealer!This kind of thing is also very common. The horse market often has this kind of brighter goods, which are specially used to deceive those inexperienced buyers, and can often call out several times the high price.

The bodyguard shook his head, feeling that he was being deceived again.

There are those who know the goods, and naturally there are those who don't.

"Hey, your horse is not bad, what kind?"

A young man with a frivolous behavior stretched his head to look this way, with a smile on his face, like a son-in-law who came out to see the world.He felt that Mo Li had an unusual aura, not like a poor scholar.

In fact, Mo Li had already tried very hard to sit in the most casual posture. He looked up at the young man, and found that the man was in good health and there was no need to seek medical treatment, so he ignored the conversation.

The curtain of the carriage was hanging down, and there was no movement inside. The young man was a little embarrassed when he saw that no one answered.

He didn't continue to yell at this side, but he seemed to be interested in this seemingly ordinary carriage, so he just followed beside him leisurely, looking at the "driver" from time to time.

Now it was Meng Qi's turn to be upset. Through the gap in the curtain, he could see the young man riding a horse, getting closer and closer.

"Bah!"

young hips.The dismounted horse suddenly raised its head and neighed, as if it sensed something terrible, and ran away, no matter how much the owner urged it, it refused to approach the carriage.

"Brother Meng, restrain yourself." Mo Li reminded helplessly.

Horses are sharper than humans, and they can quickly detect any breath released by the inner masters.

"It's his horse who is timid, don't you think our horse is fine?" Meng Qi said plausibly.

Mo Li mercilessly exposed: "It was because you scared me all the way, I'm used to it, at first it didn't even dare to board the boat."

He was so frightened that the horse ran around and took several wrong paths. If he hadn't asked the way, he would probably be squatting in the wilderness at this moment!
