I wish for a long time

"My lord, I don't know what is the important matter of visiting the village this time?"

The village chief bowed his hands to the man on horseback, and just as he finished speaking, two portraits suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Have you seen these two?"

The village chief looked at it carefully, and then smiled silly: "Who are these two, the official, they look a little similar..."

Xiao Lanfeng scanned the surrounding area, and said: "These two are brother and sister, and there is a little maid by their side, have you seen it?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Where can we find someone who looks like a fairy like this in our backcountry."

"Village Chief, you have to watch carefully. These two people have a lot of background. If you see them and don't report them, you will be in big trouble."

The person beside Xiao Lanfeng waved a folding fan, frowning to scare him.

The village chief rubbed his fists together and laughed, "You two officials, I really didn't see this. If you don't believe me, you can search around the village, or ask the villagers, and you will know if the little old man is lying."

Xiao Lanfeng saw the village chief's face was open, he looked at the simple villagers around, turned his head and said: "It seems that we are not here, Mr. Du, let's go."

Du Zhihang nodded when he heard the words, and followed Xiao Lanfeng on a horse.

Xiao Lanfeng hadn't had a good rest for more than ten days. At this time, he was riding his horse slowly with all his energy, and a shadow suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision.

"Who!"

There was no one in the narrow alley, only the fallen leaves were blown by the breeze and kept beating.

"What's wrong, Xiao Shoubei?"

Du Zhihang looked over his head and found nothing wrong, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be that Xiao Defense is too tired, why not take a rest in front?"

However, as soon as the words were finished, a white figure quickly passed by, and a fierce one plunged into the grass nest next to it.

Before the two could see what it was, they saw a sudden creaking in the small shed, and suddenly the sky was covered with withered grass and feathers.

"goose--"

A big white goose fluttered its wings and flew towards the vast sky, and then was choked by the throat of fate in the next second.

Xiao Lanfeng looked at the dumb goose struggling in his hand, his face turned blue and then pale.

"Uh...Xiao Shoubei..."

Du Zhihang smiled awkwardly, pointed to the village head and others who rushed over after hearing the sound, and whispered: "Look, why don't we withdraw first..."

Xiao Lanfeng glanced coldly, afraid of causing another commotion, he threw the goose back casually, "Let's go."

Before leaving, he took another look at the alley.

Behind the low earthen wall in the distance, Wei Yu blinked anxiously, looking at the person beside her who insisted on covering her, there was a hint of despair in her eyes.

Feeling the violent struggle of the woman beside him, Qi Zhuxi finally came back to his senses, looked at the movements of the two of them, and then reacted, and let go of his hand.

"call--"

Wei Yu gasped for breath, recovered her breath, and said softly, "Brother Qi, what's going on."

Qi Zhuxi looked at the end of the alley, pursed his lips, "It's nothing, just officers and soldiers."

Wei Yu glanced at him suspiciously, then picked up the wet clothes that fell by her side, and sighed softly: "Okay, it's for nothing."

The two went back to Mrs. Lin's small courtyard from the side, and the courtyard was already in a mess.

Aunt Lin and Shitou worked so hard to hold down the last jubilant goose.

Wei Yu looked at the white hair on Aunt Lin's head, and said hesitantly, "Ma'am, isn't it chicken tonight? Goose instead?"

Aunt Lin waved her hand, "This goose is so precious, if it weren't for these stupid guys just now, those officials would still come in for tea."

Qi Zhuxi was silent for a while when he heard the words, walked to the side of the earth wall in the back room, and pulled away the wooden boards on the ground.

"Whoa-"

The sun illuminated a small area, Qi Zhuxi stretched out his hand into the darkness, "Shaoer, come out."

A human figure slowly appeared in the dark, and then a cool hand rested on Qi Zhuxi's palm.

Qi Shao'an carefully climbed up from the cellar, the lotus-coloured sackcloth was stained with a lot of mud, and even the scarf on his forehead was rubbed with a piece of mud.

Aunt Lin came over, looked at Qi Shaoan's appearance, and couldn't help smiling: "This is just like Nier in the village, it's much more pleasing to the eye."

Qi Shao'an smiled helplessly, brushed off the loose dirt on the coarse cloth, turned his head and asked, "Everyone is gone?"

Qi Zhuxi sat on the long stone by the wall, nodded, "Just now that little bastard disturbed the aunt's geese, and scared them away with two strokes, which is very easy."

Qi Shaoan saw that although Qi Zhuxi was smiling, but the loneliness in her eyes was hard to hide, she frowned and said softly: "Brother, you can actually go back..."

"You are... Mrs. Ye??"

There was a surprised voice in front of him, Qi Shaoan couldn't raise his eyes, his whole body trembled.

……

Chaoyuan Hall.

"The leader of the Tal tribe sent someone to repair me with Kang Sheng, and he also paid tribute to thousands of good horses every year. He only asked me to open the trading places in Shuique, Jisu and other places. I am really angry."

Chu Shishen closed the memorial with force, and let out a long breath, his face could not hide his joy.

He turned around and looked at the person in front of the case, his smile paused for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth twitched even wider, "This time Kang Sheng is elated, all thanks to your ingenious plan, we bought a large number of cattle and sheep, and let them earn a lot of money." Money, and distracted their energy to fight, wonderful ah ha ha."

"Ha ha……"

It stands to reason that when the emperor talks about this, every courtier should salute and thank his majesty, say a word of His Majesty's ridiculous praise, and then "turn in" all the credit.

However, after Chu Shishen spoke for a while, the person in front of him was still standing quietly in front of the table with a faint smile on his face, as if he was not interested in what he said at all.

Chu Shishen laughed dryly, his eyes were a little erratic, he pinched the bones of his hand, and stammered, "Well, Marquis Zhenyuan..."

"Can I sit for a while?"

Ye Jiu wore a sapphire blue robe, a silver crown on his head, and a belt inlaid with agate that glowed moist in the sun, making him extremely soft.

She interrupted Chu Shishen's awkward opening remarks, and tilted her head to the side.

Chu Shishen was slightly distracted, and almost subconsciously said: "Yes, of course!"

After speaking, he himself was also stunned, his eyes moved slowly following the royal blue color, and he didn't come back to his senses until Ye Jiu sat firmly at the small table.

He couldn't understand this person more and more.

When he felt that Ye Jiu should be relaxed and unscrupulous, this person was rigid and polite without leaving any omissions, and when he felt that Ye Jiu should be alienated and indifferent, this person was very casual.

Just like now.

This person not only sat down in front of him majestically, but also unceremoniously took a teacup and drank tea.

He never expected such a relaxed scene.

Chu Shishen hesitated for a moment, walked around the desk, and walked in front of Ye Jiu. Seeing him enjoying the tea, he smiled stiffly, and sat silently opposite Ye Jiu.

"Good tea."

Ye Jiu put down his teacup and sipped it carefully.Gong Gong's August eyebrow red is different from the ones in ordinary stores.

"Do you like it? That's easy to say. The harvest in Weinan is good this year, and a lot of tribute has come from Yanzhou. If you like it, take it!"

Ye Jiu raised his lips slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This tea is clean and soft in the mouth, slightly bitter but sweet, after one sip, the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks.

Shao'er must like it.

Seeing that Ye Jiu opened his head, Chu Shishen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and inadvertently his palms were already sweating.

He frowned, and he was not as nervous as he is now when he was arguing with more than a dozen officials in the hall.

"Zhen... I, that, last time your restaurant did a great job in helping me quell the rebellious party. I thought about it, and you are not short of money. It would be more beautiful if you hang up the name of the royal restaurant."

Hearing this, Ye Jiu raised his eyes, seeing Chu Shishen's uncomfortable look, his eyes were slightly surprised.

Chu Shishen didn't settle accounts with her, but instead advertised for her?

"Your Majesty is kind and considerate, but my hot pot restaurant is a small business, and I take the civilian route, so I can't afford the noodles and can't afford it."

She paused, and then said: "Furthermore, Kang Sheng's opening up a trade route with Thar is already a great benefit to me. I don't have such big ambitions. What is the people not the people, the country is not the country, my previous strategy is just It’s just to make me buy cheaper.”

Chu Shishen was stunned for a long time when he heard the words, looking at Ye Jiuchun's pure eyes, the smile on his face collapsed a bit.

He thought that Ye Jiu opened his mouth and accepted his kindness, which meant reconciliation, but in the end it was because of his overthinking.

The reason why this person is so uninhibited is that he has been pushed beyond the sky.

There was pain in Chu Shishen's eyes, he clenched his fists, and said: "It's okay, the word 'Queen' doesn't sound good, so let's change it to 'Jingzhou No. [-] Restaurant', it's easier to remember."

Ye Jiu rubbed the rim of the teacup with his fingertips, and a banner was instantly formed in his mind: Nanniwan hot pot, selected imported lamb meat, the emperor said it was good after eating it!The kid next door is crying!

The corner of her lips twitched, if one day Chu Shishen knew that the world's No. [-] Mizhuang was also his own, would he want to kill his current boldness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ye Jiu agreed without hesitation this time, as if it should be taken for granted, and he didn't show any gratitude at all.

The corners of Chu Shishen's mouth relaxed a little. Looking at Ye Jiu's calm and indifferent appearance, his throat was choked and choked, and finally he spoke slowly:

"At the banquet that day..."

"I do not remember."

Ye Jiu raised his head, there seemed to be stars in his eyes, and he bent his lips and said, "I woke up after sleeping, and I can't remember anything."

Chu Shishen didn't say a word, so Ye Jiu blocked him back, as if he mustered up the courage to shout, but was instantly covered with a bronze bell, his ears buzzed and his brain buzzed.

The most exasperating thing was the incomparable sincerity in that person's eyes, as if that was the truth.

Chu Shishen held his breath for a long time, staring at Ye Jiu without blinking.

Obviously this person knew it, obviously he hadn't forgotten it at all, but he just opened his eyes and told nonsense like this, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After all, it was his fault, after all, this person refused to forgive.

"There are always differences in what people think and think when they are in their positions."

"Sitting in this seat, enjoying endless glory and supreme power, yet unknowingly, I was swallowed by these emptiness."

"If you step on the vanity, you will eventually be eaten away by the vanity."

Ye Jiu nodded his head slowly, and replied flatly: "Even though they know that they will be swallowed up eventually, people still flock to it."

"Holding a rose, pain and joy."

Chu Shishen didn't understand, "What the hell?"

Ye Jiu smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I want to resign."

Her words without warning completely fooled the stern man opposite, Chu Shishen's complexion changed suddenly, and he frowned when he saw Ye Jiu.

"Are you joking?"

Ye Jiu raised his eyes and looked straight into his eyes, "Every word is sincere."

Every single word is sincere.

The corners of Chu Shishen's mouth gradually cracked, and he couldn't help trembling.

All the concessions can't change this person's turmoil.

It turns out that all the sincerity is placed here.

"I don't allow it."

Seemingly expecting such a reaction from Chu Shishen, Ye Jiu was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly, "Could it be possible that Your Majesty wants to raise a useless person?"

Chu Shishen gradually clenched his fists, he understood what Ye Jiu meant, even if he stayed in the court, this person would not help him any more.

He gritted his teeth: "It's just a Marquis, and my Kangsheng treasury will still be able to support it."

Ye Jiu's brows twitched, he had already reached this point, and he didn't know why Chu Shishen was so obsessed.

"It's dangerous to keep such a person, Your Majesty should know."

Chu Shishen's eyes froze.

After all, he picked up the topic of heart attack.

He not only relies on Ye Jiu's intelligence, but also fears that she is too intelligent.

Such a person is dangerous.

Water can carry a boat and capsize it, and this man occupies half of the ocean.

Seeing that he was silent, Ye Jiu already had the answer in her heart, even though it was similar to what she expected, but when it happened, she couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Half of being kind to others is fulfillment, and full of affection becomes a burden.

"Wei Chen retire."

She suddenly remembered a famous saying.

The minister's retreat is for a lifetime.

It's quite appropriate.

Ye Jiu drank a full stomach of clear tea, just like the first time he came here, he came here empty-handed and left empty-handed again.

Stepping out of the nanmu threshold of the Chaoyuan Hall, I heard a low voice behind me:

"You're looking for the remnants of the Qi family, aren't you?"

The author has something to say: Chu Shishen: I lose face.

Ye Jiu: It's too late.

Morning morning, as long as my house is still lit, it is morning!

Good morning everyone... ok... (hugs head)
