"The donkey meat is on fire." At this time, Xiaoer also took the plate and put the vegetables and donkey meat on the table.

The skin of the freshly baked donkey is light golden yellow, with red donkey meat sandwiched inside, which is bright in color and makes people look appetizing.

"Our shop's fire is the best for miles around. Ours is more bulging, crisper, and more fragrant." Xiao Er still boasted after serving the dishes.

"Oh?" Xiao Yi smiled, "Why didn't I see it?"

"It looks like you are from other places. The fire depends on the color. Not only the face turns yellow, but also the edges turn yellow." Xiaoer introduced, "Guest officer, you will know after eating a piece."

"Wei Ming, this one is really good, you should try it quickly." Shen Jia picked up one and handed it to Xiao Yi, looking at him expectantly, like a big dog waiting for praise from its owner.

Xiao Yi took it, took a sip, savored it carefully, and said after a while: "As expected, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, delicious."

Having received Xiao Yi's praise, Shen Jia was even more proud, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone should try it too."

So everyone was no longer polite, and one person took one and gnawed, and the three big dishes were quickly divided.

Everyone ate the donkey offal soup while gnawing on the fire, and everyone ate very deliciously.Especially Doctor Fan, who ate the most.After eating one after another, he seemed really hungry.

Du Huan and Kapok are both gentle and gentle, eating bit by bit.Wei Hanming also ate one after another, maybe people in the army eat very quickly.

Shen Jia couldn't help but think of the way Xiao Yi and Jin Yiwei sat at the stall in the past, pawing noodles.However, this time, Shen Jia finished eating two donkey meats and burned them. He turned his head and saw that Xiao Yi hadn't even finished eating one.

"You don't have a good appetite recently, are you sick?" Shen Jia frowned. In recent days, Xiao Yi not only eats slowly, but also eats less.

Xiao Yi whispered: "It's okay, it's hot, I just eat less."

Hearing this, Shen Jia asked Xiao Er for another bowl of sour plum soup, and handed it to Xiao Yi to relieve the heat.

Sour plum soup not only reduces heat, but also appetizers.Xiao Yi took a few sips and felt much better, so he picked up the fire and continued to eat.

After eating and drinking, the group left the shop.Du Huan and Dr. Fan were attracted by the shops on the street. One went to the jewelry store to pick out gifts for the hibiscus, and the other went to the medicine store to find good herbs to prepare for His Majesty.But Mu Mian and Wei Hanming followed Xiao Yi and Shen Jia conscientiously and did not leave a single step.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi said to the two of them: "Shen Jia and I will go to the tea house and sit down. You can go wherever you want."

After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Mu Mian knew that they wanted to be alone and didn't want to be disturbed, so she said, "The servant girl goes to the jewelry shop next door to have a look."

"Go." Xiao Yi waved his hand, "Remember to get on the boat before dark, otherwise you can stay here when the boat leaves."

Mu Mian was amused, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Your servant knows."

After Kapok left, Wei Hanming was a little worried and said uneasy: "Your subordinates and Jin Yiwei should guard outside the teahouse. What should we do if something happens to Hangzhou again."

"Alright." Xiao Yi agreed.

Shen Jia patted Wei Hanming on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."

After everyone left, Shen Jia and Xiao Yi went to the private room on the second floor, drinking tea while watching the scenery outside the window.

"Whenever I go to a new place, my favorite thing is to go to the local teahouse and listen to books and music." Shen Jia remembered that when she first entered the capital, she gradually got to know His Majesty through the storytellers.

Unfortunately, now it seems that the storyteller's words may not be accurate.

"Coincidentally, I also like to come to teahouses, but I don't listen to books, I only read people." Xiao Yi said, turning his head to look at the people coming and going in the market below.

There are small vendors selling goods, women with children, drunkards, and poor scholars... You can observe all kinds of people in the teahouse. They are living people, no longer cold words in memorials.

"No wonder you chose a seat by the window." Shen Jia suddenly realized, so he could observe better.

"Actually, I'm quite lucky. Unlike the emperors of past dynasties, who were born and raised in the palace, they never left the palace in their whole life, let alone saw the rivers and mountains of Daliang with their own eyes." Xiao Yi said with quite a feeling, "I left Beijing when I was 12 years old. I have seen the vast grasslands in the northwest, and now I can go to the water village in the south with you."

Indeed, many emperors can only govern the country from the early days and memorials.Among them, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be officials who whitewash the peace and deceive the upper and lower.So the emperor couldn't really understand the sufferings of the people at all, and could only see a scene of singing and dancing in the memorials.

A palace wall separates the inside and the outside.Is this the sorrow of the people, or the sorrow of the emperor?

"You have done a good job." Shen Jia said to Xiao Yi, "You see, since the reform, there has been no barren land, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all thanks to His Majesty."

"Old Shen Ge, have you learned how to flatter?" Xiao Yi asked in surprise.

"This is not flattery. What I say comes from the bottom of my heart and is all sincere."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Changqing, do you know why I have to put in so much effort to bring about the reform?"

"Why?" Shen Jia asked.

Shen Jia has never figured this out. He didn't understand why Xiao Yi was so obsessed with the reform since he had no desires or desires at that time, and even died soon.

"This... can be regarded as a kind of compensation." Xiao Yi looked into the distance and said lightly, "It was the flames of war that I set off first, and took away the world of my eldest brother, so that the people could not suffer from the chaos of war. If you don't do anything after you ascend the throne , in the eyes of the common people, everyone has the surname Xiao, so it doesn’t matter who is in the country?”

"If you hadn't raised an army, perhaps the lives of the people would have been even worse." Shen Jia knew that the deposed emperor's ability was not enough to govern this great river and mountain, and he would only seek pleasure and ruin the Liang Dynasty.

Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.Dynasties have changed and wars continue.Between rise and fall, the people suffer the most.

"If I..." Xiao Yi paused, didn't say that word, and said vaguely, "You must insist on the reform, assist King Su, and don't let the new deal be destroyed."

Why does this sound like an account of the funeral?Shen Jia held the tea tray in both hands, trembling slightly.He looked up at Xiao Yi, and said angrily in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Although Doctor Fan got the cold poison formula, how to detoxify is still a hurdle.Dr. Fan has tried many kinds of herbal medicine, but there is no new progress.

However, the ten-year deadline is getting closer and closer.

"Changqing, this day will always come." Xiao Yu looked at it calmly, "Doctor Fan has tried his best, and I don't want to force him. If that day really comes, you must be well."

Shen Jiaqiang held back his tears and said angrily: "Man will conquer nature, I don't believe in evil. Wei Ming, don't say such depressing words again."

"Okay, I won't say anything." Xiao Yi nodded his teacup, "Drink tea, drink tea!"
