[Crossing Books] The author is trying to clean up every day

In the teahouse, the old man talked about interesting things that happened recently.

The guests drinking tea around laughed and clapped their hands and said hello.

Yan An just sat in the private room upstairs not long ago, only heard the end, but not the beginning.

However, he probably also knew the content of the story. Recently, some snarky maids in the yard were talking about it, and he happened to overhear it.

There is no such thing as forcing a sister-in-law in the real world. He deeply sympathizes with the victim, and at the same time feels shameful for the perpetrator's behavior.

He didn't understand why those so-called 'literati' clapped their hands and said hello. Sure enough, the world is not a phenomenon unique to an era.

After sighing in my heart, the old man downstairs also told a different story.

This time he was telling the story of the fox demon and the scholar. The old man's voice was loud and clear, and the story was told sonorously and forcefully, and the guests were fascinated by it.

Yan Anxin thought that the ending would be nothing more than getting a title on the scholar's gold list, marrying a lady from the official family, and abandoning the fox demon.

Unexpectedly, what the old man was talking about was that the scholar turned his back on the official lady, and the suspense of the story fell.

The story was novel, and everyone was fascinated by it, but the old man stopped to drink a cup of tea.

Yan An was also curious, took some silver taels to the attendant at the side, and motioned him to hand the silver taels to the old man so that he could continue the story.

The old man received the silver taels, so he continued to talk naturally with a smile on his face.

The scholar married the fox demon, but in the end, the fox demon got tired of the scholar and sucked up the scholar's yang energy in one gulp. The scholar died because of this, and the fox demon found a handsome man again.

For such an ending, everyone sighed, and Yan An also clicked his tongue.

Well, it can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect. In the past, the fox demon was let down by the scholar, but now the fox demon has exhausted the scholar's yang energy, which is not unacceptable.

After hearing this story, Yan An didn't stay in the restaurant any longer.

The old woman outside the window is pulling the child and weeping bitterly in front of the cash counter.

Yan An stayed in the teahouse for the past few days, so that he could personally supervise the grain collection.

Now that there is something going on outside, he naturally has to check it out.

The years have left a lot of marks on the old woman. The wrinkled face is like a broken chrysanthemum, and even the waist has been crushed. The child who is holding her hand is also yellow and thin. It looks like a poor family.

Yan An had just listened to the story seriously and didn't know what happened.

He lowered his head slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Old man, what happened?"

The old woman stopped crying and sighed: "Hey! The government is oppressing us ordinary people. I only have one-third of an acre of land, and I pay land rent and grain. How can there be so much surplus grain.

The son of the family is useless, I exchanged some food for eggs to nourish my grandson's health, how can I hand over so much food now, and now I hand over the only food left in the family, but the officials say that I have not paid enough food , the subsidized silver will be halved. "

After finishing speaking, the old woman wailed again: "God! You still let people live!"

Yan An frowned, although he was responsible for the food, but his people were only responsible for collecting it, and it was the court people who distributed the money.

The official who issued the silver wanted to say hello when he saw Yan An coming, but Yan An was talking, and he didn't dare to interrupt. Hearing what the old woman said, his face changed slightly, thinking that Yan An would be dissatisfied .

He guessed right, Yan An did look at him coldly and said, "What's going on?"

Seeing the respectful manner of the officials towards Yan An, and seeing Yan An's attire, the old woman immediately knew that she had met a nobleman.

Without waiting for the official to speak, the old woman grabbed Yan An's clothes like a life-saving straw, "My lord, you have to decide for the grass people!"

The attendant beside Yan An got up and was about to draw his sword, Yan An said, "Old man, you don't have to be nervous, as long as you are reasonable, I will naturally seek justice for you."

The old man thanked him again and again, but he didn't hold Yan An's clothes any longer.

Compared with Yan An, the official's status can be said to be low. He is afraid of Yan An's punishment, and he must not let Yan An know that he wants to make money from it.

He was very witty, he just didn't mention his fault, but said: "Wang Shizi clearly found out that the lower officials did not give the old woman a penny or two of silver. It's impossible for the lower officials to pay the money one by one..."

Speaking of the latter, the official's tone was a bit aggrieved, and Yan An didn't guess him too badly, it was just that the emperor changed his mind temporarily, and not everyone subsidized so much.

In fact, the food in the treasury was sufficient, and the emperor was reluctant to part with the food in the treasury. In the end, it was the people who suffered.

However, if I paid less food, I deducted half of the silver taels, which is also very stingy.

Yan An said: "Let's do this, you will pay the money as usual, and if you mention it, you will say that I ordered it."

"Yes." The official tried his best to maintain a respectful expression, and the white money was gone!

He originally thought that he would be able to deal with Yan An in the name of the emperor, but he didn't expect Yan An to reply him with such a sentence.

The old woman finally felt at ease when she got the silver taels. You must know that she could survive the winter only after getting half of the silver taels. Otherwise, the whole family might starve to death.

She thanked her repeatedly, Yan An waved her hand and left, it was just a matter of little effort for him.

In such a peaceful and prosperous age, there are such people who are not full and not warm, and it is unknown how many people will starve to death in a war.

However, there should be no wars in the next few years. He and the Hu people have already signed a peace agreement. In the spring of next year, Prince Xi will not have to go to the battlefield.

Now it is a situation where the three kingdoms stand at the same time, and the Yan Kingdom is considered the most powerful country among them. Except for the barbarians who are not afraid of death, no country dares to start a war at will.

The world is impermanent, what Yan'an did not expect is that not only will there be wars in the spring of the coming year, but Yan'an will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

Of course, these are all for later.

……

The emperor's order cannot be violated, even if the common people don't want to pay the food, they have to hand it over.

They didn't bother so much this time. After all, there was a subsidy to get. If the officers and soldiers went to the house to dig three feet to find food, they might not even be able to get the subsidy at that time, and there would be no need to cry.

It took Yan'an three days to collect all the grain.

Although the food was collected quickly, it was only the day before the Hu people entered Beijing.

Early the next morning, Yan'an heard the news that the Hu people had entered Beijing.

Naturally, Yan'an's mental outlook could not be too bad as he was welcoming the barbarians, so he changed into formal clothes.

He was dressed in a silver unicorn bright satin robe, making him handsome and handsome, and the white jade crown on his head made him a bit more dignified.

Yan An looked at the man in the mirror expressionlessly, at this moment he truly felt that he was Yan An himself.

Yan An's face is relatively soft, with a pair of long and narrow peach eyes, she is especially affectionate when she smiles at people, but when she is cold or expressionless, she is fierce.

He looks like his mother, the only thing that looks like his father is his eyes.

Yan An's setting didn't follow his own appearance. At this time, he couldn't tell whether he was this Yan An or that Yan An.

Zi Yan on the side looked at Yan An who was in a daze, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, don't miss the hour."

Yan An came back to his senses, he let out an oh, straightened his unwrinkled clothes, got up and walked out.

Yan An led people to the gate of the city in advance. Yan An has been wearing books for almost a year. During this time, he has done a lot of things to help others, but he has never done anything to beat people unreasonably.

As the saying goes, once a bad person does good deeds, he is no longer so bad in the eyes of others.

The common people's definition of Yan'an has changed.

From the girls' point of view, good-looking people generally have no bad heart. Although Yan An was notorious before, he has changed now.

Who hasn't done anything wrong yet, what's more, in their opinion, Shizi was raised spoiled since he was a child, and it's okay to have a bad temper.

Yan'an was riding a white horse, dressed in a unicorn bright satin brocade robe, handsome and handsome.

Under the howling autumn wind, it exaggerated a bit of cold breath.

That lofty appearance has provoked the hearts of many peeping girls in the attic. They blushed and thought that it would be a rare blessing if they were favored by the crown prince.

In one of the attics, the servant girl who heard from the market that the prince has a habit of cutting sleeves looked at her young lady and wanted to stick her eyes on the prince, and couldn't help but say: "Miss, don't open it, there is no result... ..."

The short-tempered lady immediately got annoyed, "What did you say?"

The servant girl told the young lady the news she heard outside, and the young lady looked at Yan An's eyes completely changed, "Impossible?"

The servant girl nodded and shattered her illusion.

The young lady clutched her chest in grief. Could it be that all good-looking men have broken sleeves?

I think the first few men she fancy also have that hobby.

This is also the reason why she has not married for a long time. She is a business lady, and her family is not short of money. There are many people who want to marry her, but she always wants to marry a man she likes. Now it seems that, Still can't escape that fate.

……

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Yan'an finally got the envoy of Hu State.

The leading man's complexion is not fair, and the victory lies in his handsome face and extraordinary temperament.

Yan An guessed that Yas would come in person, but he was not surprised.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and from a distance, Yan An saw Zi Jin who was dressed as a barbarian behind him and smiled at him.

Although Yan An didn't have any feelings for Zijin, after all, he had stayed by his side for so long, was considerate to him, and was able to do things efficiently. Naturally, it was impossible for him to completely forget about him in half a year.

Now is not the time to reminisce, he can only respond, and then lead Yas and others into the palace to face the saint.

The Hu people brought a lot of things this time, including furs of cattle and sheep, fresh kumiss, and beef and mutton.

The emperor originally thought that he must have lost food, a huge loss, but he didn't expect the barbarian to come up with so many things, but he treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

He was very happy and threw a big banquet.
