Looking to Chang'an from the North

"That's not what I mean, you are not squeamish at all." Xia Yizheng quickly explained.

What Lin Chuhuai looked down on the most in the past were those who liked to mess around, put on airs and be unreasonable, they were too petty.But he suddenly found that when he did such a thing to Xia Yizheng, he didn't feel any psychological burden, and that person would always give in and compromise.

Being pampered and spoiled is probably what he said.His nonsense was only for Xia Yizheng to see after he closed the door, and when he left the room, he was still the refined and respectable Mr. Lin.From a certain level, this is more like a kind of fun between their husband and wife, Xia Yizheng is also happy to be used to him.

"You clearly meant that just now." This is just nonsense.

Although Xia Yizheng said that he was helpless because he was caught by him as a "handle", but he also knew in his heart what Lin Chuhuai wanted.

"Okay, I will follow the doctor's arrangement from now on." In these words, there is not only compromise, but also indulgence.

Only then did Lin Chuhuai curl the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and he no longer cared about his unintentional words just now.

Seeing Chang Yun smiling like a kitten that stole the smell, Xia Yizheng suddenly felt that this Chang Yun was more lively than the one he had known before, and this was why he looked a bit like a young man, instead of just being so young at a young age. Be mature and prudent.

In the next two days, Xia Yizheng lived a fairy life when his daughter-in-law warmed the bed for him. He spent half of the day lying on the bed, chatting and joking, or doing something not out of the ordinary. The relationship between them has not yet come to an end. At that step, out of respect, Xia Yizheng would definitely not force his Chang Yun.

It's a pity that there is still one child missing, but it's okay, his Chang Yun is enough.

Two days are too short and fleeting, Xia Yizheng and Lin Chuhuai went to the door of Xie's mansion.The concierge of Xie's mansion gave a pass and led the two of them in.

Ever since he came back from Xia Mansion that day, Qin Ke seemed to be in a better mood than before. Xie Qing originally planned to invite Lin Chuhuai to the mansion to accompany that person.It was surprising that they had come uninvited, but it was not unwelcome.

"Sit down for a while, both of you, and have some hot tea. My lord is in the backyard accompanying Mr. Qin to take medicine, and he will be here in a while." The housekeeper poured tea for them himself.

It took about half a stick of incense before Xie Qing arrived at the front yard. His body was still covered with water stains and a strong smell of medicine. It seemed that the process of accompanying Mr. Qin with the medicine was not smooth.

"I kept you two waiting for a long time. I wonder if Mrs. Xia can go to the backyard to see Xiao Ke." Xie Qing went to the front yard before he had time to change into his robes. It was extremely difficult to coax Qin Ke to take the medicine every day. That person was afraid of suffering. He doesn't care about his own life, he really has nothing to do, it would be great if someone can help him persuade Qin Ke.

"Of course I can, but Mr. Xie, I have something important to discuss with you." Lin Chuhuai would not refuse such a request, but now that the matter is at hand, this matter has to be postponed for a while.

Xie Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, "But it's okay to say."

"Then let's get to know each other again first. My surname is Lin, my name is Chuhuai, and my character is Changyun. I was the servant of the household department at that time, so I think he is also a colleague of your lord." Strictly speaking, Lin Chuhuai's official title is higher than that of Xie Qing.After saying this, he took out a token that could prove his identity.

Xie Qing had heard the name of the young son of the Lin family who was the number one scholar in the scientific examination, but Madam Xia had always called him that and forgot to ask his name, "Lord Lin, it was rude to be a low official earlier. "

Since the other party is an official in the same dynasty as him, it must be inappropriate to use the title of Mrs. XX.

"Master Xie, you are polite. Now that we have spoken, I won't go around in circles with you. I came to Jizhou this time because of the floods." Lin Chuhuai chose to get straight to the point.

"I think I have found a reason to come to Master Lin." Xie Qing is a smart man, after hearing this, he knew that the banquet held by the Xia Mansion was for the purpose of testing, not only to test him, but to test all the officials in Jizhou.As for going to the door today, it must be rewarding.

"Huaishui in the west of the city." You don't need to talk to a smart person, just click on it.

Sure enough, even though Fu Tingke was messing around with Huai Shui, Xie Qing would definitely not let him take this responsibility.

"Knowing the consequences but indulging the common people, the lower officials cannot absolve themselves of the blame, and are willing to accept the punishment." Lin Chuhuai never thought that this person would be unapologetic.

After a moment of silence, he said, "It's not that I don't know what happened. Who is responsible is not the most important thing. The original sin is the court's exorbitant taxes."

To criticize the imperial court so unscrupulously, probably only Lin Chuhuai dared to be so outspoken.

Xie Qing looked at Lin Chuhuai and said nothing. This man said what countless people wanted to say but dared not.

It was Xia Yizheng who blocked his sight that Xie Qing came to his senses.

He withdrew his gaze, "I'm sorry. Then what should Master Yilin do now?"

Lin Chuhuai also thought about the most suitable solution in the past two days. It is impossible to conceal the truth and not report it, but how to report it is optional.

"Use the shortest time to restore the Huai River to its original state. I will pick a suitable time to report the truth in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. I can also take the opportunity to ask for tax relief for the people." The latter sentence is the key, Lin Chu Huai has been worrying about not having a chance, and this time can be regarded as an opportunity.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"I still have some people in my house, if you need them, I will take them with you." Sitting on the side, Xia Yizheng spoke the first words after entering Xie's house.

Xie Qing glanced at him, "Thank you."

Lin Chuhuai's identities are different, so Xia Yizheng probably won't be just a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, but this person won't ask Xie Qing unless he takes the initiative to say so.

"That's all for now. I'll go to see Qin Ke to explain it to you." There is no rush to return the land to the lake, and Xia Yizheng's time should be about half a month.

"Huh?" Explain, explain what, Xie Qing's doubts were almost written on his face.

"The last time Qin Ke chatted with me, he said that you would smell of makeup on the fifteenth of every month." Lin Chuhuai was a little helpless at this person's carelessness and slowness, and also sympathized with Qin Ke.

This is really wronging Xie Qing, he has never contaminated a woman, and Qin Ke is sensitive to rouge and gouache.

Xie Qing's complexion suddenly changed, and he walked quickly to the backyard without thinking about talking to them.

Lin Chuhuai looked at the man's flustered footsteps, and shook his head, "It seems that I don't need to explain it for him, let's go back."

"it is good."

After Xie Qing explained clearly and didn't know when they would get it, the two of them informed the housekeeper of Xie Mansion and left first.

But after leaving Xie's mansion, Xia Yizheng didn't rush back to the mansion, but took Lin Chuhuai to the street, "I said before, I will accompany you out for a stroll when you are well. The streets in the south of the Yangtze River have always been very lively. Don't lose to Shangjing."

"Okay." Lin Chuhuai was just joking at the time, but he didn't expect this person to really take it to heart.But it's good to lie in bed for a few days and go out for a walk.

Although it was still early, the street market was already full of people's voices.

The hawkers along the street are loudly hawking, the chasing children are singing nursery rhymes, and the common people are talking and laughing at their parents.

Although it is noisy, it is unexpectedly calming. This kind of fireworks is the most soothing.

Lin Chuhuai is like an outsider watching the people coming and going on the street. When he was in the capital, he liked to sit in the highest teahouse and watch the world frolicking downstairs. Apart from books and family, only the common people in the street could fall into his heart. .

He was watching quietly, but suddenly a candied haws was stuffed into his hand.

It is impossible for him to stay out of the dust, because someone will always lead him into this world of fireworks.

"Try it and see if it tastes better than the ones in Shangjing." Xia Yizheng gave the peddler some money and took two. When he was young, he liked the candied haws at the street corner the most. Mother will take out one like a magic trick.After A Niang left, he never tasted it again.It happened that Chang Yun was also there, so he bought it regardless of what other people would think of the two big men who still eat children's stuff.

Lin Chuhuai took a small bite, it was sour and sweet but not greasy, "Mmm, it's delicious."

Hearing this, Xia Yizheng smiled, "Right, you eat first, and I'll take you to try other things."

He took a big bite off a candied haws and chewed it in his mouth. It was very sour and not sweet. It was different, not the same taste as before. Let's buy it again when we return to Shangjing.

But I don't know that the difference in taste is not because of the region but because of the different people who buy it.

He was just about to eat the rest, but someone took the skewer from his hand and handed him another skewer.

Lin Chuhuai was very sensitive to the fact that the man's expression was a little off after he took a bite. Is this, sour?

"Try mine, I'll eat your skewer." My own skewer is quite sweet, so give it to him.

Although Xia Yizheng didn't know why Changyun did this, he still accepted it obediently.

Lin Chuhuai bit the skewer in his hand but found that it tasted the same, so he looked at him suspiciously.

Xia Yizheng quickly sorted out his emotions, and pulled Lin Chuhuai into the crowd.Although there were many people, it wasn't too crowded. He held Chang Yun's hand tightly so that he wouldn't get lost.

They walked past fan shops, jewelry shops, and finally stopped at a sugar figurine shop surrounded by many children.

The sugar figurine was made by an old man, and the sugar figurines he made were lifelike and very beautiful.

The children around cherished the pinched candy figurines, but were dragged away by their parents nodding their heads and laughingly calling them "little greedy ghosts". Then the old man looked at the two of them, "You two want to make sugar figurines too? "

Lin Chuhuai nodded, "Old man, according to our appearance, we only need two, it's troublesome."

It was Lin Chuhuai's idea to make a candy figure, and it was a sudden idea. He wanted to keep a silhouette of the two of them.

The old man smiled and agreed, and not long after, the two villains appeared in their field of vision, with a similar charm.

Lin Chuhuai took the money from Xia Yizheng and handed it to the old man, took the two villains, and handed the one that resembled him to the other.

Xia Yizheng looked carefully, and licked the sugar man's face, Lin Chuhuai hurriedly stopped him, "What are you doing licking it?"

"Huh? Isn't sugar man just bought to eat?" Xia Yizheng didn't understand what Chang Yun meant.

"I wanted to..." I wanted to buy it for collection, but Lin Chuhuai didn't say that.

It was the old man who saw something and said with a big smile, "Young master, this sugar figurine will melt in a short time, you should eat it now."

So, Chang Yun wanted to buy it and hide it, so did he hold his own in order to face him day and night?

The author has something to say: Mou Tang: I know you want to lick more than sugar people

Lao Xia: I was actually seen through by you

Kobayashi: ...

"The smoke and fire in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals." I have always liked this sentence written by Mr. Wang Zengqi in "The Vegetation and Trees in the World".
