Proton Consort Continued

The sun was so busy that King Huli and his party needed to rest, and the palace banquet in the evening was considered a formal entertainment.Xiang Jing returned to the Eastern Palace, sat at the desk and drank tea.Although I heard that the imperial sister Xiang Yan has returned to the palace, but Xiang Jing knows Xiang Yan too well, it is better to let her find Xiang Yan by herself than to find Xiang Yan.

He casually took the book in his hand, and before he opened it, that figure appeared in Xiang Jing's mind again, so he raised his head and looked at the ears of wheat standing silently on the table.

"Your Highness, the Empress asked me to bring you over for lunch. The princess is returning to the palace today, and the empress has ordered the imperial chef to prepare the dishes that you and the princess like..."

The people outside the hall clearly said that Xiang Jing had returned to the East Palace, but Xiao Wu saw no one in the whole room, "His Royal Highness..."

"Xiao Wu, I have something to go out of the palace." Xiang Jing walked out from behind the screen and changed into the prince's fine clothes. He was dressed in a white robe, like a scholarly student. If you don’t come back, you don’t have to wait for me for lunch.”

"Your Highness, are you alone?"

Xiao Wu couldn't be more surprised, Xiang Jing had already strode away.Looking back at the ears of wheat on the table, Xiao Wu understood.But Xiao Wu also agreed to Xiang Jing, temporarily keeping Xiang Jing a secret.

Relying on my memory, I came to the street that I met that day. I never noticed it at first, and it was an inconspicuous shop. If I pass by it in the future, maybe Xiang Jing will pay attention to see if there is Su He at the door.Like today, the place in front of Qingfeng rice shop, the people at that time are not there at the moment.

Xiang Jing, who has always been smart and quick-witted, has no idea. He met by chance and met once. It seems inappropriate to ask the shopkeeper of the rice shop, but Xiang Jing is not willing to leave like this.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go!"

Just when Xiang Jing was distressed, Su He ran forward with a white cloth bag in his hands.Looking at Su He's back, Xiang Jing unconsciously followed her footsteps.

In front of several small and dilapidated wooden houses, it was the first time that Xiang Jing came to such a messy and dark place, but Su He got into one of them without hesitation, came out again after a while, and continued to the next one.Approaching the diameter, he bent over and watched what Su He was doing in the house through a small window.Su He was distributing rice, carefully pouring the rice from the white rice bag in his arms into the clay pots of each family.It can be seen that those people are not unfamiliar with Su He, which also shows that the Su family's rice distribution behavior is not a day or two.

Xiang Jing didn't bother Su He, but followed Su He silently, sweating from running, and Su He, who was immersed in it, didn't notice that Xiang Jing was following him all the way.After more than half of the rice in his arms had been distributed successfully, Su He was visibly relieved, and it didn't take that much effort to pick it up.Seeing Su He's relaxed smile, Xiang Jing curled the corners of his lips, not knowing whether he was happy for Su He, or making fun of his sudden move.

"Hey, stop!"

A ball of mud hit Su He's feet, and the splashed mud hit Su He's face, causing Su He to stop in place.Looking at the three children who were slightly older than Su He standing in front of Su He, Xiang Jing clenched the folding fan in his hand.

"Why are you here again? This is our territory, you rich people, don't think that if you give a little rice, we will be bribed!"

The headed boy was the tallest and yelled at Su He angrily. The other two children raised the mud in their hands and threw it towards Su He. Holding the bag of rice in her arms tightly.

"Stop it!" Xiang Jing wrapped Su He's shoulder with one hand, and spread out the folding fan with the other, blocking Su He from the menacing mud, but his white robe was not spared from the mud.Su He raised his head and saw that Xiang Jing was frowning tightly, yelling at the three arrogant children in front of him.

"Who are you? The helper she found? What's your business?"

There was no way for the two of them to be passively beaten like this. Xiang Jing pulled Su He behind him, and began to use his folding fan to wave away the thrown mud balls.Amidst the triumphant laughter of the three children, Xiang Jing hugged Su He's waist angrily, used Shang Qing Gong to get behind the tall boy, kicked him to the ground with his legs raised.

"Don't! They're not bad people!" As soon as Su He stopped, Xiang Jing stopped and didn't teach the other two.But they were caught off guard, and in order to vent their anger for their partners, the two threw the mud in their hands towards Xiang Jing involuntarily. A puddle of mud slapped Xiang Jing's face like that, and even the collar of Xiang Jing's shirt was stained. It became muddy.

Su He opened his mouth, looked at the three unreasonable children in surprise, and looked at Xiang Jing whose cheeks were covered with mud, and raised his sleeve to wipe Xiang Jing.

Seeing Xiang Jing's kung fu skills, the tall boy kicked himself again. Knowing that he would suffer, the three of them ran away without looking back.

Xiang Jing was relieved, noticing Su He's meticulous movements, Xiang Jing was about to raise his hand to wipe himself, but Su He stopped him immediately.

"Don't rub it indiscriminately, be careful to get it in your eyes." The mud was mixed with sand, and Su He didn't dare to use too much force. Looking at the mud on Xiang Jing's face, he suggested, "Come with me, I'll take you to the river Wash while you're at it."

Su He also had mud spots on his face, so he nodded to Jing and walked side by side with Su He.

The river was not far away, and the two walked there in silence.Because Su He walked too fast, the atmosphere was not suitable for chatting along the way.

"Stand here and don't move." Su He said, put down the rice bag, carefully went to the river, squatted down, wet his sleeves, and turned to wipe Xiang Jing's face.

Xiang Jing looked at Su He's serious expression, and then at Su He's drenched sleeves, not caring about his own face, Xiang Jing grabbed Su He's hand and said with a smile, "What kind of woman is that?" Don’t you even have a silk scarf with you?”

Su He stared blankly at Xiang Jing's eyes full of smiles, just when he felt a little angry, Xiang Jing led Su He to the river and wet his silk handkerchief.Xiang Jing held up Su He's face with one hand, and quickly and gently wiped off the mud spots on Su He's face.

"All right!"

Xiang Jing smiled to himself, Su He raised his hand, wiped the area where Xiang Jing had brushed with the back of his hand, and retorted unconvinced, "What kind of man would be as delicate and tender as you, and be spotless?"

He still choked with Xiang Jing, which was beyond Xiang Jing's expectation, but his mood became better, "Skin and tender meat, I don't deny it, and I can't choose, but I'm not weak, so let's count it. Looks good. As for being spotless..."

Xiang Jing lowered his head to look at himself, and laughed at himself, "It doesn't count right now..."

Su He looked at the mud stains on Xiang Jing's white robe, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You deserve it!"

"I became like this to help you." Xiang Jing pretended to be unbelievable, and handed the silk handkerchief to Su He, "I'll wipe it for you instead."

Su He put away his smile, took the silk handkerchief with his lips pursed, and after Xiang Jing slightly bowed his head, he silently wiped away the mud on Xiang Jing's face.For example, in the quieter surroundings just now, it seems that the river is no longer flowing, and the air is no longer floating, because everything is out of sight of Xiang Jing and Su He.

Taking off his shoes and socks on the grass by the bank, Xiang Jing and Su He sat side by side by the river, rolled up their trouser legs, and the clear water reached their calves, feeling cool and leisurely, and their mood was extraordinarily clean.

"He'er, He'er..."

Su He looked at Xiang Jing who was talking to himself, "Are you calling me?"

Xiang Jing smiled, "Apart from this river, you are the only He'er here."

Su He lowered his head and stared at the ripples on the water surface. After a while, he remembered to ask, "Then what's your name? I don't know who you are..."

"what do you like the most?"

"Wheat ears!" After Su He finished answering, he realized that Xiang Jing was answering an irrelevant question, and looked at Xiang Jing suspiciously, wanting to answer Xiang Jing.

"Then you can call me Maisui. Anyway, the name is just a code name. If you recognize me, just remember me."

Su He avoided Xiang Jing's gaze, "The name is chosen by the parents, how can it be so casual? How can I like it?"

Xiang Jing was stunned for the second half of Su He's sentence, and then suddenly realized that a silent smile spread across his face.

Su He had doubts about Xiang Jing's sudden silence, "What are you laughing at?"

"No, I was thinking," Xiang Jing frowned, "Why did those kids target you just now? You obviously came to do good deeds."

Su He sighed, "In their view, I am making up for what they lost, and that's why they are hostile to me..."

"How? Is there something hidden in it?"

"En", Su He nodded, "Do you know Boss Chen who is rich and rich? He almost monopolizes the grain and salt business in the capital. In order to expand the scale of the salt farm, he finally collected the land where those people lived, saying that the wind direction there is good." ..."

"Did people who live a good life become homeless refugees overnight?" Xiang Jing asked in surprise, "It's illegal for them to demolish houses, so the government doesn't care? Is there still a king's law?"

"The merchants in the market have their own set of rules. I also heard from my father. If Boss Chen wants to do that, he must obtain the consent of other rice merchants and salt merchants in the market before reporting it to the government. However," As Su He said, his voice became lower, "Father said that he can't fight against Boss Chen, otherwise it will be difficult to make a living in the capital, so he agreed with everyone. I don't know what happened to the government, anyway, Boss Chen will soon A new saltworks was built, and my father often found time to deliver rice because he felt sorry, and sometimes I would come here instead of him when he was too busy."

There must be tricks in this, rice and salt are the foundation of people's livelihood, and they are also the industries with the largest amount of oil and water. The world is bright and bright, and such a thing happened under the feet of the emperor, Xiang Zhi will never allow it.

"It's too risky for you to do this. You know that the people here are hostile to you." Knowing the ins and outs, Xiang Jing felt sorry for the thankless Su He, "Well, I'll teach you two ways to defend yourself. If I'm not by your side, No one else can bully you."

Xiang Jing did what he said, stood up, and stretched out his hand to Su He, "Come on, it's very simple, don't worry."

Although Su He was a little confused, he still held Xiang Jing's hand and believed in Xiang Jing.
