[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

The person who came was Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu. When Xia Anran and Feng Yuan followed the sound, they saw a young man in armor, with some guards, leading a horse and talking to Xue Pan.

The man said a few words to Xue Pan, and saw Xue Pan pointing his finger in Xia Anran's direction, and saw him raise his eyebrows, with a look of surprise, then he led the horse and stepped on the fallen leaves to Xia Anran's side, making a gesture. Yi Yi.

He has fair skin and looks more like a son-in-law than a soldier, but his demeanor is very straightforward, which makes people feel comfortable just by looking at him. .I also ask the county magistrate to make it easier."

So not long after Shen Qi fell asleep, Xia Anran woke him up.

But when they heard the reason for Feng Ziying's search, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

It turned out that Feng Ziying and his party were going to join the army. Although he was the son of General Shenwu, he had to start as a soldier. Young people don't want to serve as soldiers under their own father, for fear of being said that they have relied on their father's shadow. There is another weekday in the north. Liu Xianglian, who was not used to it, was doing well there, so he changed his mind and came to the south.

The governor of Fujian can be regarded as his uncle, but the relationship between the two is quite far away. He even met once when he was a child, so he came to join him. He knew that he had encountered a thief when he first arrived in southern Fujian. According to reports, he joined the battle circle first and participated in killing the enemy with his own soldiers.

If he didn't look like his own with all the equipment, this small force that suddenly joined the battlefield would probably be hacked together as a Japanese pirate.

When the matter was over, he went to the governor of Fujian and told him that he wanted to join the army. Joining the army is not that simple. Now that the vacancies in the military are full, the governor is also very troubled by the sudden surrender, but he immediately Thinking about it, Shen Qi was also considered a descendant of heaven, so he still lacked a deputy under his name, so he quickly threw him over to find Shen Qi.

Feng Ziying is also innocent in this matter, how could he know that his new boss fell asleep so early.

He is also very desperate to wake up his immediate superior from the gentle township before taking office.

However, Shen Qi didn't have any special reaction to this, after making sure it wasn't because of the urgent military situation, he washed his face and looked at Feng Ziying's paperwork, then he nodded and accepted the deputy.

That night, Feng Ziying went to share a house with Xue Pan and Feng Yuan. Xia Anran rented this house for them after receiving Xue Pan's letter, and the next day he asked to live in the county government, not to share with him. Those two crooked people live together, and the martial arts practitioners have good hearing and sharp ears.

He found a good-tempered little brother who lived in the county government office to discuss whether he could borrow a floor shop today, but he saw Shen Qi enter Xia Anran's house that night.

Feng Ziying: Oh well...

The next day he saw Shen Qi getting up early to practice martial arts refreshed and refreshed, and Xia Anran sleeping until he was about to go to the office before getting up, and he realized that he understood something.

Feng Ziying felt that her straight man's soul had been tested: Southern Fujian...is a terrible place, Lord...how about going back to the north?

Naturally, Xia Anran didn't know what this military master was thinking. He was busy distilling alcohol recently. The wine that Xue Pan sent this time was Shanxi Fenjiu. Xia Anran was not sure about the alcohol content, but he vaguely remembered Fenjiu. The degree is quite high, and the alcohol distilled from Fenjiu is much higher than the last time just by the smell.

But he still couldn't measure the alcohol concentration.

I dare not let people taste it. People here don't drink strong alcohol. If you get alcohol poisoning at first, there is no rule of law here.

He could only rely on his feeling, count the time, mark the bottle body, and tell Shen Qi the difference between these bottles, he made a record, let Dr. Li try it out, and, don't drink alcohol all at once. Just pour it on the wound and just dab it on. This time the alcohol is stronger than last time, it will hurt people to death.

Shen Qi responded one by one, he looked at Xia Anran's chin that was much sharper than the last time he met, and couldn't help pinching it, which made Xia Anran's eyes widen immediately, Shen Qi was obviously also affected by this Shocked by the sudden action, he paused, retracted his hand a little stiffly, pinched it on his side, felt his fingertips start to get hot, and looked at Xia Anran who was looking at him with open black eyes, He hesitated a little, but still couldn't hold back, he reached out and squeezed Xia Anran's hand.

Xia Anran was a nerd in her previous life, and she felt a little numb when her hand was suddenly held.

The two of them sat blankly, with paper and pens and a few bottles on the table, Xia Anran only felt that Shen Qi's dry hands were slowly getting wet, and he didn't know which of the two of them was sweating, or maybe both. Both.

He murmured.

He bit his lip again.

"Jingxi..."

"Brother Shen."

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

Hearing Shen Qi's voice, Xia Anran immediately lost the courage to continue speaking, this, this is the first time in his life that he was held by a man's hand.

Shen Qi was silent for a moment, then spoke with a hoarse voice, "My name is Shen Qi, I am from the capital, I am twenty-two years old, I belong to the rabbit, and I am currently serving as Secretary Tongzhi of Fujian Xuanfu envoy, and I will receive 90 taels of silver every year."

Following his words, Xia Anran clasped the other hand tighter and tighter. He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked. He couldn't say a word, and could only listen to the man speaking slowly. "There is only one younger brother in the family, and the family has two or three real estate properties and four or five shops in the capital."

"Jingxi, I am pleased with you."

Xia Anran suddenly took a deep breath, his heart thumped even more, his eyes were instantly sore, his free hand clasped the wooden stool below him heavily, he didn't dare to raise his head, he was afraid that he would agree if he raised his head.

Can he agree?This is just a dream of his, as long as Lin Daiyu gets married, he will go back to his dream!

Then he heard the man say again slowly, "Jingxi, I am a soldier."

Xia Anran didn't understand what he meant at first, but when she understood, she suddenly turned her head to look at him, Shen Qi's expression was very gentle, he had never seen Shen Qi's expression like this before, looking at his black eyes were soft and sincere, like It was this person who exposed his weakest inner self to Xia Anran.

They have known each other for eight years, and they have held each other for four months, and they know each other well about the things before.

Is Shen Qi telling him that he is a soldier, and he may die in the line of duty at some point?

Xia Anran's eyes wandered over his face in a panic, trying to see that this man was joking.

But he also knew this person, Shen Qi never joked.

"Brother Shen..." He spoke with some difficulty.The voice was so loud that he didn't even recognize himself. "Don't, don't talk nonsense!"

He didn't know whether he was refuting the previous sentence or the last sentence, but he said to Shen Qi extremely seriously, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Qi looked at him for a moment, and slowly revealed a smile. He usually doesn't have much expression, but when he smiles, he looks very pretty. He turned sideways, and gently rubbed Xia Anran's head with his other free hand. "Okay, I was talking nonsense."

The moment he pressed his head, Xia Anran almost couldn't resist grabbing the man's neck and kissing him.

But in the end, the man could only let go of his hand slowly.

"Brother Shen." Xia Anran suddenly lowered her head and said, "You, you have to be good."

"I know." Xia Anran could feel the person beside him standing up, gathering up the bottle on the table and the materials Xia Anran had sorted out.Then the man walked out slowly, and after a while, he heard the neighing of horses outside, and the sound of horseshoes going away.

He sat there blankly, as if he still had in his ears the gentle voice of "Don't be afraid."

Xia Anran pressed her red mole with her hand.

He is not afraid of him, he is afraid of himself, afraid that he will be unable to help himself.

The system was activated, and softly said [The host... this is a dream. 】

I know.

Xia Anran thought, I can't agree, but if I agree, it will be harmful.

... really hurt people.

After Shen Qi, Feng Ziying and others left, Xia Anran locked herself in the house for an afternoon, and when she came out the next day, he was the county magistrate of Yongchun again.

Xue Pan and Feng Yuan have been wandering around for the past few days. When they saw the threshing machine, they were so curious that they stepped on it several times. Unfortunately, there are no ears of rice for them to play with, so they can only step on it.

When they came back, Xia Anran had calmed down and greeted them with a smile to have dinner.

When Xue Pan and the others returned to Beijing with a full load, they brought Yongchun vinegar and tea with them. Xia Anran also wrote several family letters and entrusted them with presents to bring back to the Lin family and Xia family. He will definitely not be able to go back this year. The ceremony of the year.

Ten days after the caravan left, the wind brought a chill, but the chill was still incomparable compared to the north. Xia Anran adapted well to this, and he is very busy now.

The wall near the edge of the mountain has been built, and the local forest households are unprecedentedly supportive of the government's actions. When Xia Anran asked them if it would cause any inconvenience, they all waved their hands and said that it was just a detour. Xia Anran responded to such a cooperative His attitude was a little maladaptive, and he almost thought that Li had picked up a good one while he was translating for him, but seeing the smiles on their faces, it didn't look like it.

He smacked his lips, lamenting that the official authority of this era is so effective, but he didn't say much. After all, the purpose of encircling the mountain is to protect these forest households who rely on the mountain. Naturally, it is best for forest households to be considerate.

One month later, Xia Anran received a letter from Xue Pan. From the speed of receiving the letter this time, Xia Anran judged that Xue Pan had arrived halfway there before writing the letter and sending it back. When she opened it, it turned out that they had only arrived in Zhejiang Middle School. So I tried to sell some Yongchun vinegar in bulk through a small local market. As soon as the jar was opened and smelled the aroma of vinegar, someone came to ask. It's over, after all, in autumn and winter, people's tastes will become stronger, this vinegar... is really, too fragrant, Xue Pan stood upwind and opened the jar, and the sour taste drools.

Seeing that it could be sold, Xue Pan hurriedly protected the other jars and prepared to try them in the north, but immediately wrote to Xia Anran to tell Xia Anran that selling vinegar would work, and asked him to hurry up and prepare it.

Xia Anran immediately went to discuss the matter with the Zhizhou upon hearing the words, and the Zhizhou also strongly agreed.

It’s just that the output in the past few years will definitely not increase. After all, the vinegar made this year will take three or four years before it can be released. Now the ones that can be sold are all made in the past two years. Another thing can be put on the agenda first. --paving.

One of the achievements of the former Qin county magistrate was to pave a road from Yongchun Prefecture to Fuzhou Prefecture, but this road is just a dirt road, and once it comes to the rainy season, it will become potholes.

Xia Anran didn't have any better materials, so he could only use a layer of composite soil to cover the top. After tamping it down, it was more or less waterproof. When the carriage passed by, it would not be easy to get wheel marks on it.

Now it is the eleventh month of the lunar calendar and the twelfth month of the Gregorian calendar. Farmers’ work in the fields has basically ended. Some people have tried to use fire dung as base fertilizer when planting wheat this year. So far, the situation is still good. , the people are in a good mood. They heard that Xia Anran was going to build the road, and they were very active to help. At this time, they are free. Although they are about to prepare for the New Year, the women at home can also see these things. I don't mind coming out to work at this time. For paving the road, the state government pays a lot of money, and it's not a lot of hard work. The money seems to be falling from the sky.

Yes, the money came from the government again. This is one of the benefits of being together. Although the roads in Yongchun County are actually being built, it doesn’t matter if they are built for the sake of the Yongchun government. Question, after a little work, Zhizhou, for the sake of this merit, sent another memorial before the capital was sealed, and then happily waited for Xia Anran to finish paving the road.

Um?You ask why the prefect is so confident?

Because Xia Anran tried to pave the central street in Yongchun County with composite soil.Although it is the central street, it turned out to be nothing more than compacted soil, which is really annoying when it rains.

This care, although it is indeed inconvenient to wait for it to dry at the beginning, but the effect is also visible to the naked eye.

It looked clean and tidy. After the road was just paved, many people in the county came to watch the excitement. Some people deliberately poured water to imitate the rain. Finally, they found that the road was really convenient to walk.

With the full support of the county government, not only the three roads from Yongchun County to Xinghua Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture were paved with Sanhe soil.

This is thanks to the clay and lime produced in Yongchun. The clay is made from local materials. The soil on the road is directly used, and it can be used after being turned over. The lime is refined from the limestone in Yongchun County. The sandy soil is a bit annoying. It needs to be transported from the north to the south, but now that the farming is slack, the cattle are useless, so they are used to transport sand and gravel. Although the cattle move slowly, the farmers are afraid of hurting the cattle and dare not let them carry too much, but Overall, it is still able to keep up with the project.

Basically, except for labor costs, all materials are obtained locally.

At this time, labor costs can be said to not be considered costs at all.

One month later, the three neighboring prefectures all discovered the big move in Yongchun Prefecture.

For this matter, Zhizhou was called by the Fujian chief envoy to question him, but he built his own road and spent his own money, so the chief envoy praised him at the end and said nothing of.

Other magistrates are also very popular. Yongchun Prefecture will become very embarrassed when they do this. Although the people in the jurisdiction don’t talk about it, they often go to visit. They are not afraid of the rain. In fact, they are not afraid of heavy objects. of the road.

Tell me, everyone was the same at the beginning. If you use dirt roads, you will use dirt roads. This year Yongchun Prefecture paved three three-way dirt roads at once. Do the people have any ideas?

But soon the magistrates stopped being angry. The magistrate of Yongchun Prefecture was so good at being a man that he sent over the formula, along with the blueprint of the threshing machine.

Threshing machine! !

In fact, other mansions have heard that Yongchun has made a sharp weapon for a long time, but because Yongchun has either built walls or roads recently, the traffic is quite inconvenient, except for a few scattered farmers who came back and said something about it when they visited relatives. No, no one else has actually seen it. They originally planned to wait for Yongchun to finish their tossing before going to have a look, but they didn't expect that this blueprint was generously sent over by the people of Yongchun.

...It's better to say, it's a bit too generous, right?

Naturally, they didn't know that the Lord Zhizhou of Yongchun had already presented the blueprint. Since he had presented it, he planned to make it public.

Even if we don't say it now, there will be news in the capital after the new year, so it's better to use it to sell personal favors now, it's not a secret that can't be said.

Another reason is that Yongchun Prefecture plans to make vinegar on a large scale in the future. Vinegar, like wine, needs grain as raw materials. Naturally, Yongchun cannot supply these grains. At that time, it will have to buy them from surrounding counties, but the surrounding counties will also The tax collectors of Yongchun Prefecture!For Mr. Zhizhou, it was just two pockets back and forth.

The best way is to ask other provinces to buy.

Xia Anran did the math for Master Zhizhou, he and Xue Pan also did the math, the difference in profit between selling raw materials and selling processed products.

Master Zhizhou naturally knew this truth when he was the county magistrate in Gusu. After thinking about it for a while, he still made a decision.

Yongchun also grows grain locally, after all, to guard against natural disasters, but the grain for vinegar production, in addition to purchasing from local farmers, must also be purchased from other prefectures. Risks encountered in the event of a disaster.

Earning more and earning less is always profitable, be careful, there is nothing wrong with it.

Another piece of news that is also very popular among the prefects is about the county magistrate of Yongchun County.

Everyone knows that Xia Anran, the county magistrate of Yongchun County, is a student of Lin Ruhai, the censor who inspects salt in Yangzhou, and everyone knows that he was favored by the emperor and bestowed letters, but everyone doesn't know that this girl has a good relationship with the head of the imperial merchant Xue's family!

I heard that the Patriarch of the Xue family even came here to visit his friends!They also transported a lot of goods from the Northland, and brought back a lot of special products from Yongchun County!

Xue!Home!

Ziwei's descendants!

This is what the prefects of various prefectures have suffered from the lack of information circulation.

Of course they didn't know that although the head of the Xue family was Xue Pan in name, he didn't have enough rights.

Originally, the north-south trade was all close to ocean trade. Although the trade volume was large and the expenses were high, it wasn’t that the big merchants couldn’t get the right to go to sea. Ordinary merchants had to hand over money to the big merchants and pay business taxes to the government if they wanted to take the boat. It would be extremely uneconomical if the goods with relatively low prices were to go away like this. In addition, the sea trade is not very safe now, and pirates are rampant, and several seagoing ships have been robbed.

According to maritime trade regulations, if the ship is robbed, the ship owner and the merchant will not pay any compensation.

In the end, the merchants said that it is more convenient to go by land, but it is slower. If you leave Fujian, you will go to Zhejiang, whether it is land or river transportation. Although it is not as convenient as Nantai Port to go to sea, it is not too bad.

It's just that there may still be threats of bandits along the way, so it is naturally safer if several caravans travel together.

This idea was born at the beginning of this year, but although there were people who took the lead at the time, the combination of commercial banks must have a leader, and no one can convince the crowd.

But if it is the Xue family firm, the descendants of Ziwei Sheren, the royal merchant Xue family will take the lead...

The leaders of several commercial firms held several meetings together. If the Xue family is willing to do business here, it will largely be due to Xia Anran's face. These businessmen are somewhat disdainful of Yongchun County's special products. Rather, Yongchun County really doesn't have any special products. If Yongchun Prefecture has some tea produced in Anxi County, what can Yongchun County have?Carrying coal?Or lime?

But they all heard some news that people in Yongchun County started making vinegar.

Some people who knew it showed a look of surprise. Indeed, Yongchun vinegar is still somewhat famous. They have all heard that Yongchun vinegar can cure diseases... Eh?Wait, isn't that a rumor?

They always thought it was a rumor from poor people, like washing clothes with boiler ash can make them cleaner than using soap!

But the Xue family all came to buy this vinegar!

Could it really cure diseases?

All of a sudden, Yongchun vinegar became inexplicably sought after, and the idea of ​​self-defense and self-defense made people in Yongchun who had relatives in other counties frequently harassed.

Everyone is here to buy vinegar.

Their vinegar is not for sale, the county magistrate has said that their vinegar will be sold in Beijing.

A naughty Yongchun native told the story to his relatives who came to join in the fun, and his relatives were also naughty, and news that Yongchun vinegar was going to be sold in Beijing to be drunk by high officials was rampant.

...Should we be glad that they didn't have the guts to tell the emperor to drink it?

Xia Anran also felt helpless when he heard the rumors, he hurriedly took advantage of the exaggeration before it intensified, and stopped it in time, although generally people in the court would not care about the villagers, but the merit of enlightenment is also the responsibility of the county magistrate. Yongchun's limelight is a little bit bigger, it's not good to be a rafter in the first place, a big tree attracts the wind, so one should keep a low profile.

Xia Anran said in an old master's tone with her hands behind her back.

With the memories of later generations, he naturally knew that Yongchun old vinegar would become famous, and it could also be exported to earn foreign exchange, but this group of villagers took their confidence!

The confidence was naturally given by Xia Anran.

Since he settled in Yongchun County, he has improved the soil quality, taught new methods of fertilizers, and produced a relatively cheap but strong material called Sanhe soil. The threshing machine has lightened the burden on the people, and the corvee service has been extremely easy. The man was fat when he came back, and his upright old father often scolded him for being lazy.

Even this year's autumn harvest is smooth and the weather is smooth, which is attributed to Xia Anran.

Farmers, as long as the yield can go up, they are very happy.

And now, the wheat that uses the new fertilizer as the base fertilizer grows exceptionally well, and the stalks are green and hard. The veterans who have seen it all say that the harvest is excellent.

The farmers are not happy for the wheat, but for the availability of fire dung!

How did fire dung come from? Weeds, rice stalks, soil, and dead leaves are all simple and easy-to-get things. It can be said that this fire dung is all dropped from the sky except for lighting a fire.

As for the things that fell from the sky, the effect of fertilizing the field is really good.

Many farmers have already set their sights on next year's spring plowing.

It's a pity that the supply of fire dung is limited. A village is burned together and divided according to the weight of the raw materials provided. It's not that no one wants to burn it by themselves. After that, he was thrown into the Zongtang and knelt for three days. In this era, the clan is more binding than the government, and no one dares to commit crimes if there are too many times.

Everything is going in the right direction.

At this moment, Xia Anran's system suddenly issued a notification.

[Completion of main mission: 43%]

Xia Anran was taken aback for a moment, his pen dipped in ink was fixed in the air for a long time, and a drop of ink slowly landed on the white paper, splashing an ink mark.

It was like the calm surface of water that was broken in his heart.

He slowly put down his pen, without dealing with the stained paper, and asked slowly, "System, can I know what happened to Lin Daiyu?"

[After systematic investigation, it was discovered that Lin Ruhai has already decided to make an appointment for Lin Daiyu, and they will get married in two years. 】

"Engaged?" Xia Anran was taken aback, although her heart was a little heavy, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Who is engaged to?"

Then he heard a familiar name - editor of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Xun.

This person is Tan Hualang from Xia Anran's department, from Guangdong Province.

The reason why Xia Anran remembered him was because this person asked him where he bought the sauce the first time they met, and he was completely worthy of his identity as a Cantonese native.

Cantonese people just love to eat, there is nothing wrong with it.

Of course, this person has a good literary talent, his personality is also very friendly, and he likes to make friends. Xia Anran also knew a little bit about this person's temper when interacting with him.

Various thoughts turned around in his mind, and after a while, he showed a smile, which was considered a good match.

Is there another two years?It just happened to allow him to reach the end of his term, or he could try to bring some changes to Yongchun.

At the moment, he is not interested in gossip about why Lin Ruhai suddenly betrothed Daiyu, nor does he want to know how Lin Ruhai fell in love with that person because they are separated by thousands of miles. Xun didn't go home either. After all, Guangdong Province was too far away, so the two met in the capital.

All he has in mind now is two years.

Fortunately, fortunately, just when he faintly loosened, the system turned on the countdown for him.

"Lord Xia." Just when he was a little downcast, he heard the voice of his personal guard calling him, Xia Anran quickly pulled himself together and asked someone to come in.

The guard who came was one of the three that Shen Qi lent him, and he came in with a wooden box in his hand, and said to Xia Anran who was a little puzzled, "Master Tong Zhi sent someone to send it, and said it was It’s a New Year’s present for Lord Xia.”

Annual ceremony?But it's not Chinese New Year yet.Why did Shen Qi give him an annual gift?

Xia Anran took it inexplicably, and before asking, the personal guard had already rushed out, running faster than a goose.

Xia Anran was even more puzzled, and he slowly opened the box.

There were nine kittens inside.

Clay kitten.

Or fluttering butterflies, or eating fish, or reading books, or sleeping on belly, or playing chess with other cats, or... or cuddling with a black rabbit.

He quickly covered the box, put it on the top of the bookshelf, and pushed it inside, where he couldn't see it.

Once you have made up your mind, don't regret it.

he told himself.

It's just that his heart was on fire, and he was really sad. He forced himself to be calm and lowered his head to deal with the official documents.

After burning a stick of incense, he took the box down, opened it and examined it carefully.

Shen Qi's workmanship is actually very bad. Although he tried his best, both the cat and the rabbit are out of shape.

But Xia Anran felt that this might be the most beautiful cat and rabbit he had ever seen.

If he is in modern times, post a post: If you know that you can only love your lover for two years, will you still fall in love with him?

He thinks that 1% of the answers he got are similar to as long as there is love, every minute is happiness.Or if you don’t try, how do you know that reality cannot be broken?

In the real world, if you can love each other for two years, you can be sure that the two of you will be together for the rest of your life in the third year.

There are too many temptations in modern times, and the world is too big. No matter how painful it is when you fall out of love, but there are so many things you love, life must go on. After the first three months, you will almost be able to recover.

But here, no.

Xia's mother and Xia's father are the words of a matchmaker and the orders of their parents. The two may have met a few times before, but they must not have had an in-depth exchange.

Xia's father may think Xia's mother is gentle and cute, Xia's mother thinks Xia's father is kind and caring.

Just holding hands, the two held hands for a lifetime.

When Xia's father passed away, Xia's mother was only in her early twenties at that time. Although she had a son, she could remarry, but she survived like this, and took Xia Anran alone for 11 years.

Even now, 11 years later, Xia's mother still smiles tenderly and sadly when she thinks of Xia's father.

If you ask her if she loves her, she doesn't know. She may just think that my husband is very good, very, very good.

I don't want to accept another man anymore, no one can be better than him, I just want him alone in my heart.

It's just such a simple and simple idea.

This is the thinking mode of this era, as Mu Xin later wrote in "Once Upon a Time Slowly", in this world, everything is slow, so emotions are also slow.

Slow to fall in love with you, slow to forget you.

Slow down, I closed my eyes, and I haven't forgotten you yet.

The system says that this world is just a dream.

But the people here are not human, are the feelings fake?

He lives here and doesn't feel any different from the real world.

So he couldn't accept Shen Qi even more.

He was afraid that when he left, Shen Qi would be like Mother Xia, struggling to survive, and being dragged to death by him for the rest of his life.

Shen Qi can devote his whole life to him, what about me?Can I remember him forever?

If not, is that unfair to him?

Xia Anran is a very active person, and now it is approaching the end of the new year, which will soon be the only short holiday period for officials in this dynasty. For this kind of time, the advantage of being in the same county with the immediate boss comes again.

Xia Anran ran directly to the opposite side of the street, told Lord Zhizhou for a leave, and rode with two personal guards, heading straight for the Fuzhou mansion.

He wanted to find an answer.

When Shen Qi raised his eyes slightly from the official document to look at the man from the government office, and what he saw was Xia Anran who was wrapped in a cloak and his cheeks were flushed red from the cold, he couldn't help but stare slightly, then dropped the document and stepped forward. The man drew closer to the house and pressed against the stove.

"Jingxi?"

Apparently, Xia Anran's behavior surprised this person who had always been quite calm. He looked at the person who was obviously frozen and hurried to warm him up.

The winter in the south is much warmer than that in the north, but Xia Anran galloped all the way, and he was not prepared enough, and encountered snow on the way.

The crackling snow made his face hurt.

Xia Anran felt extremely embarrassed.

He took the hot water from Shen Qi, moistened his lips, calmed down, and then suddenly grabbed Shen Qi's hand that was handing him the heater. "Shen, Qi Shen."

Since we met, this is the first time he called someone by name, such a sudden solemn attitude, coupled with Xia Anran's extremely serious expression.Shen Qi also became nervous.

He slowly put down the stove, and held Xia Anran's hand back. He knew that Xia Anran rushed over like this, and was going to give him an answer.

The uneasiness after giving the gift slowly turned into a calm heart, and he was even a little happy.

If Jingxi really had no intentions, why did he come to see him in such a hurry?

He seemed to be able to hear Xia Anran's nervous and rapid heartbeat and breathing.

Shen Qi squeezed the hands that they held, comforting him silently.

Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, it's okay, just say it.

I'm waiting for you.

An Ran, I will wait for you, don't be afraid.

Xia Anran's lips trembled a little, but her eyes were extremely bright, just like the lamp he left for Shen Qi back then.

That lamp back then led Shen Qi to find the Xia family.

Can the current lamp allow him to find his own home?

"I... I may not live to be 20 years old." Xia Anran's voice was extremely dry, "I, I have encountered orders, one monk and one, and the orders are very accurate."

He watched Shen Qi's expression gradually turn from tenderness to seriousness.Seeing his reaction, Xia Anran calmed down instead, and he slowly said, "There is a monk with a strange appearance, who comes and goes without a trace. It is very miraculous. I met them one day, and they told me that I will die when I am 20 years old." , extremely difficult to break."

He slowly held Shen Qi's hand back, "If I can't make it through, I'll be folded there. If I make it through, it's just a fluke, that's a few years of life."

"After all, my destiny is to die young." He looked at Shen Qi seriously. They were the ones who rescued Lin Jue, even before, before Lin Jue got lost, they also came to the door to call the police, but the cutting head used at that time was Miss Lin, so the teacher did not alert."

He paused, then sighed softly, "That's why I asked my mother not to say goodbye to me, just because I was afraid of delaying other girls."

He looked at Shen Qi quietly, "Ruo, I can only live for two years, you...are you still willing?"

Shen Qi sighed softly, he squeezed Xia Anran's hand, "Jingxi, if you have no accidents, you can live for two years, I am a soldier, licking blood from the knife edge, shrouded in horse leather, how long I can live, there is no definite number. After all, I'm the greedy one."

He quietly looked into Xia Anran's eyes, saw his own reflection in those black eyes, and said softly, "If you go first, I will take care of your widow mother. If I go first..." He frowned , thought for a while, "My younger brother is already established, so you don't need to bother...Jingxi will take care of Duoduo. If we go together one after another, then we will sleep together with Qiu."

"Okay?"

"Then, if I were reincarnated, I would soon forget about you...and find someone else..."

Shen Qi chuckled, as if amused by his assumption, "Jingxi, our life is not over yet." Seeing Xia Anran's round eyes slowly widening and eyebrows raised as if very angry, he quickly put The person hugged her lightly, in a place Xia Anran couldn't see, her eyes darkened, "If you forget me in your next life, it must be because I'm not good enough to match Meng Po Tang."

"If I'm fine, fine, how can you be willing to forget me?"

"If I didn't treat you well enough, what's wrong with you finding someone else."

Xia Anran was shocked by this theory, but after thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that it was quite reasonable.

With some hesitation, he hugged Shen Qi's back, and then felt the man pat him on the back, and Xia Anran quickly narrowed his eyes due to the comfortable feeling of being patted down.

In his mind, the system's warnings flashed again and again, warning him that this was a dream mission world.

I know.

Xia Anran comforted his system, but, but he just likes this person.

I like it so much that I want to try it with him even if I know this is a dream mission world. I like it so much that I know the ending is sad, but I can't help but want to hold his hand back.

Xia Anran whispered to the system, "Thank you, system, but I want to give it a try."

The system suddenly quieted down.

There is no way to have the best of both worlds, but as Shen Qi said, he is licking blood, and he doesn't know how long he can live. Even Xia Anran, the situation is the same now, both of them are at the forefront, and the strongest enemy is yet to come , No one knows how long his life span is.

Because life is short, when you meet someone you like, you still have to hold his hand quickly, and you will be very happy if you can be together for one more day.

Xia Anran was on the road in the snow and didn't sleep all night. Naturally, she was cold and tired. She held on to it because of a moment of passion. Until now, she was embraced by someone. The familiar smell and the familiar voice lingered around her body, and Xia Anran soon let her go. Anran fell asleep, but he wanted to sleep, but Shen Qi didn't dare to let him sleep. Although Xia Anran was wearing a cloak, it was obvious that he didn't have much experience in driving in the snow. It is wide, but it can't block much wind and snow for the owner.

Shen Qi sighed softly, and said softly, "Jingxi, don't sleep, and go take a bath and change clothes first, okay? I've asked someone to prepare bath soup."

His voice was gentle, but it was a pity that it was useless at this time, Xia Anran fell asleep more and more deeply in his rare soft voice of comfort.

Seeing this, Shen Qi leaned over and whispered in his ear: "If you leave me early in this life, and go to the poor and the green, and go to the bottom of the world, I will definitely find you. If you forget me in the next life, I will always be there." By your side, let your next life's memory be all about me."

"If you find someone else in your next life..."

The dusk was deep, and the man in the room didn't continue talking, but just smiled lightly.

The author has something to say: I think I am really a conscientious author, and the emotional scenes are all abused to the point of entanglement. I will handle all the chapters for you, and I will not leave you any suspense.

Well, I hope it doesn't give you the feeling that their relationship is going to be abrupt... I'm not very good at this.

Wang Yiseng, the best backer in this article: I have something to say...

The next one...the next one has...um...(smile.jpg)

Let me talk about the timeline. At this time, it was about the middle and late December of the lunar calendar. In the original timeline, Xia Anran had just left Beijing when Baoyu was trapped, and the monks rescued people together.

Then this article goes back to the beginning, and Lin Daiyu’s order is also very accurate, because she never shed tears (in the original book, she must have cried when her brother died, and Jia Min also cried after his death, so she agreed The words of monks and Taoists) When I was young, I never met relatives and friends with other surnames (the original book was that she entered Rongguo Mansion at the age of six)

The two monks and Taoists in this article are not villains. In fact, they are not villains in the original work. They really want to save people (although they want to increase their merits)

So when Shen Qi went to investigate behind his back...um...it was scary.

In fact, in the end, I was a little handsome by Gong, and I silently looked at my label without blackening Gong... Is my aesthetics bad?

You guys, can you find out how many tactics Shen Gong used for this card?
