Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

"My son is born to be a high-ranking official. How can he be in this village? Wu'er, hurry up and bring the silver, so that we can become officials. As long as you have money, you can win the election. Mother will enjoy the blessings with you in the future." of."

Yun Wu took Yunsun's hand and said, "Mother, don't be so stupid, everyone in the village will laugh at you if you do this every day."

"What are you joking about? They are jealous of you. You have to work hard to make them treat you differently."

Yun Wu had no choice but when he came out to look for Yun Er, he saw Yun Yun in the courtyard, escaped and went back to the house.

"Yunwu seems to have changed a lot."

"I'm not young anymore. His mother didn't teach me well since I was a child. Now I'm sensible."

"Uncle, can you help take care of Chutu, I'll go in and have a word with him."

Yun Er still wanted to stop him, but Yun Yun had already entered, so he had no choice but to stand up and wipe his hands, hugging Chu Tu who was looking at the vegetable field next to him, "Good grandson, Second Grandpa is looking at you."

When Yun Yun entered the room, Yun Wu was sitting in the room repairing the table. One leg of the table had been split, and he was driving an iron nail into it.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yun Wu raised his head to see the visitor, put down his tools and was about to go out, Yun Yun grabbed him, "Let's talk."

Yun Wu said indifferently, "There is nothing to talk about."

When Yun Yun heard this sentence, she knew that Yun Wu had really changed, he had never spoken in this tone before.

"After you returned from Baiyang, you are doing well."

"There's nothing good or bad about it, it's just like this."

Seeing him like this, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel distressed, completely different from the arrogance she had a few years ago, "It's fine to stay at home, I need someone to work there, one tael a month, do you want to go?"

Yun Wu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard about one tael of silver, but soon darkened, "You should find someone else."

"Yunwu, I can see that you have changed a lot. Now only your family and me are left in the Yun family. Now I really hope that we can become a family."

"I will think about it."

After Yun Yun had no choice but to go out, he didn't realize that the heat behind him had been looking at his back.

After Yun Yun left, Yun Wu went to the yard to help Yun Er make bamboo baskets, "Yun Yun wants me to help in the school."

"This is a good thing. You know the current situation of our family. If you can go there and save enough money, you can marry a wife for you."

"Father, do you think he has good intentions? I was a deadly enemy with him before."

"How did our family treat him before, and how he treats us now, Yun Yun has always been thinking about our family, how good it is for you to reconcile, you always played together when you were young, if you didn't take full power at that time Give your mother an education, and now our family will not be like this, alas."

Yun Wu had heard these words countless times, he got up and put on his clothes and said, "Father, I'm going to find Yun Yun, mother is still mad in the room, you go in and look at her."

Yun Yun was not surprised by Yun Wu's arrival, the two of them had business to do, and after finishing the work, Yun Yun said at the end, "If you want to come around in the future, come here."

"it is good."

Neither of them spoke, but they both understood what the other meant.

Time flies, and the days of peace in the village always pass quickly. Year after year, after the school is on the right track, more and more people come to study. At first, there are Yun Yun, Confucius and Yun Wu. Later, after the number increased to 80 people, Cheng Mu also joined them, and Tutu became a fan of everyone. Everyone in the school likes to take him to play around. Ever since he could walk, Yun Yun did not let him alone. At home, they are all brought directly to the school.

More and more people came to study, and because the school in the town could not receive students, the mayor finally decided to close the school, and those who wanted to study had only one choice.Yun Yun is divided into several classes according to different levels, so that it is convenient for teachers of different levels.

The Great Northern Dynasty has been implementing new reform measures since the new emperor ascended the throne. Three years after his ascension to the throne, the new emperor named Xuan Qing, which means clean and honest, and is deeply loved by the people. Temple fairs have also been formed among the people to praise the new emperor. Thanks to the emperor, there are many storytellers who tell the love story between the new emperor and the male empress. The Wind of Duanxiu also developed rapidly during this period.Men and women walking down the street holding hands will not be considered a eccentricity, and more people will look at it with an inclusive attitude.

There is no war, no natural disasters, and the people's life is happy and prosperous. The society that was only seen in story books in the past now really exists in real life.

After everyone had left, the sky was still dark, and standing at the door could still see the last gleam of light on the other side of the mountain. Yun Yun and Cheng Mu both consciously walked to the door, leaning on each other to look at the last gleam light.

"Is that good?"

Yun Yun leaned on Cheng Mu's shoulder, and the two of them were like a perfect painting.

"Daddy, eat fruit."

Yun Yun knelt down and asked Tutu, "Which one is your father?"

"Both are, one is the big daddy and the other is the second daddy."

"Then which father is better?"

"The big daddy looks scary, but he will buy jelly beans for Chutu to eat. The second daddy is gentle, but he will let Chutu study."

Yun Yun shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know who he learned from. What he said makes people laugh bitterly."

Cheng Mu said, "It's the one who taught him to read."

Yun Yun pretended to be angry when she heard that, "Okay, you two are bullying me together."

Chutu hugged Cheng Mu's thigh and said, "Eldest Daddy, Second Daddy is going to beat someone."

"Stinky boy, it's in vain for me to educate you every day, you are unfair to the second father."

With her little eyes aggrieved and tearful, Tutu said, "Where is it? Tutu likes the second daddy the most." While talking, she opened her arms to beg for a hug, Yun Yun still felt the same, "You have a bit of a conscience."

The figures of the three were pulled to the elder in the last gleam of light, and Tutu was playing under the willow tree at the door, Yun Yun and Cheng Mu sat together and looked at each other.

"God made me so lucky to meet you." Cheng Mu said affectionately.

"How could you take my words?" Yun Yun looked at him and said dissatisfied, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be concealed.

"Because I want you to understand my mind and let you know my change. It is you who changed me."

Although the two have been together for so many years, Yun Yun's heart was still touched, he held Cheng Mu's hand and said, "Thank you."

He has too much to thank, from a bullied child to today's school, with a child by his side, everything is so warm.

"Then am I spoiling your imperial examination?"

Yun Yun thought for a while, "It seems to be pushing me to take the imperial examination!"

Extra Story ([-])

The city walls of the Great Northern Dynasty Imperial Palace looked so magnificent under the bright sunlight. Just after the court was lowered, a group of officials in official uniforms poured out of the main hall. The man in the middle of the man wearing the yellow prince's costume had a deep expression on his face. What does out of the eyes mean.

"Hey, what do you mean by the emperor? The prince didn't make any mistakes. Why was he suddenly punished to go to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection, and he is not allowed to bring his entourage."

"You have to pay attention to what you say, you are in the limelight now."

"I know, this incident happened too suddenly. Letting the prince go to Jiangnan alone to deal with those officials in Jiangnan, I think it will almost kill him."

"The emperor's mind is very difficult to guess."

Nan Rong Zeyu walked in the front, and he didn't want to hear the whispers of the people behind him, but he heard them in his ears. When he walked out of the palace gate, Erjiu had already prepared the carriage and returned to the Prince's Mansion. The moment he was about to go up, he But changed his mind. "You guys go back first, I'll pay my respects to my concubine first, and I won't be going back at noon."

"Yes." Er Jiu replied, and drove the carriage towards the Prince's Mansion.

Walking on the bluestone brick road, Nanrong Zeyu always felt that all this was a bit unreal. Looking back on the past six years, he thought that there was no major mistake, but his father's words were like a sharp sword deeply rooted in his heart. It hurt his heart, was he blaming him for his incompetence, or was he saying that this position should not belong to him in the first place?He himself has no power to restrain the chicken, so going to the south of the Yangtze River alone, wouldn't it be an opportunity for others to take advantage of.

When they arrived at the Empress of the Central Palace, the little maid at the door saw the Prince from afar, and hurried in to report. The Empress also put down the books in her hand and went to the yard to welcome her only son.

"Greetings to my concubine." Nanrong Zeyu said respectfully.

"You and I don't need these etiquettes between mother and child, you all go down." After the servants next to me leaned down, the queen asked, "I have heard about what happened in the court today, why did the emperor suddenly let you Going to Jiangnan?"

"I am not sure as well."

"You haven't made any mistakes recently. There are laws and regulations from your ancestors. It is not a trivial matter for the prince to visit the south of the Yangtze River. Throughout the ages, he has personally sent troops to escort him."

How could Nanrong Zeyu not know these things, he just buried it in his heart, and still had a fantasy that his father still wanted him to be a good prince, instead of dying in the Jiangnan area. "Mother Concubine, since the imperial decree has been issued, all the ministers need to do is to obey, and the rest of the Concubine Mother should not worry."

The queen sighed, "I'm not just worried, it's not like you don't know what's going on in the palace."

Nan Rong Zeyu comforted, "My son will take good care of himself in Jiangnan, and he will write to convey anything, mother and concubine don't read it."

The queen knew in her heart that her son, even if she wasn't her own, had been raised by her side for more than ten years, and she still knew what kind of temperament she had. Zeyu had no major faults, but she always cared about the feelings between relatives.The most taboo thing in the royal family is to talk about feelings. The seven kings of the former emperor seized the throne, and there were few things about killing brothers and brothers. But he always believed in the little affection between brothers, and he didn't know who his temper followed. It is a good thing to emphasize feelings , it depends on where.

"How many times have I said those words before, I know you won't listen, but now the situation is not trivial, you must remember it firmly."

"Mother, please tell me."

"You have been sitting in this position for so many years, and your brothers are staring at you. You know the temperament of Nanrong Zehan and Concubine Liang. If there is any accident in Jiangnan, there is really no way to recover."

"Mother and concubine, my son has recorded it."

"Just remember it."

The meals cooked in the small kitchen at noon are Nanrong Zeyu's favorite food on weekdays, but what happened in the court hall is so unappetizing. He put down the bowl and chopsticks after eating less than half a bowl, and looked outside. There is no wave in the heart of the blooming lotus.

Before leaving, the queen still couldn't help telling, "When necessary, you still have to use what your mother left behind. You can discard power and so on, but you must keep this life. What your mother told me back then, I always keep it in my heart, if something really happens to you, I will have no face to see her when I go to hell."

"My son knows."

Concubine Shu secretly trained a group of hidden guards during her lifetime, which were distributed in various places throughout the Great Northern Dynasty. Before she died, she told Nanrong Zeyu about the joints of each dark guard.These hidden guards are like an organization, and Jiang's entire army rose up against Paul.Nan Rong Zeyu had never touched them. In his eyes, it was better not to touch things in the world in the palace, so as not to be caught by others.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, it was almost dark, and [-] waited anxiously at the door. Fortunately, Nan Rong Zeyu came back after a short wait.

"Master, you scared me to death, why did you come back now." Erjiu said anxiously.

"Sitting with concubine mother for a while longer, I forgot the time."

"Master, come in quickly, dinner is already being prepared, let's have some hot tea first."

Nan Rong Zeyu sat on the seat, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is Chu Qianqiu still in Jiangnan?"

After serving hot tea, Yijiu said, "Mr. Chu wrote back last month and said that he has been staying in Linchuan, Qingzhou. There just experienced a severe drought last year, and the situation is better this year. He also said that he plans to go to other places in a while. Look around, you can’t always stay in one place.”

"He just has a restless personality, and he can run around when opening a medical clinic."

Erjiu answered from the side, "Then Sanjiu will be happy to follow him, and he can go to many places to play."

Nan Rong Zeyu was teased and said, "I knew I should have let you follow him, but Sanjiu didn't want to go but was dragged away."

"Master, why did you suddenly think of Mr. Chu?" Yijiu asked following the original topic.

"After we go to the south of the Yangtze River, there will be many bad luck and bad luck. Everything must be prepared. What the concubine mother said today is correct. It is no safer than the palace. If there is an accident, no one will help me." Even if his heart is still against the brother Love has an extravagant hope, and dare not take his own life as a bet.

"What does the master want to do?"

Nan Rong Zeyu wrote a note casually and sent someone to deliver this thing, leaving the others alone.

"Yes."

Ten days later, it was the day when the crown prince set out to inspect Jiangnan. From the capital all the way south, Nanrong Zeyu took the initiative to choose the waterway, which was much safer than taking the official road.When seeing off, many ministers at the gate of the capital came in person, but the other side looked a little bleak. There were only Nanrong Zeyu [-], a coachman driving a carriage, and a handyman doing odd jobs. service.Such a lineup is hard to think that this is the prince's inspection.

Extra Story ([-])

Seeing this scene, Nan Rong Zehan was very happy. After planning for so long, he finally drove this bitch to Jiangnan. It was easy when he left, but not so easy when he came back.

"Brother, the journey is difficult. I begged my father, but he still won't let you lead the troops, saying that he is going to secretly visit the south of the Yangtze River. Don't bother me. You must be careful."

Nan Rong Zeyu could see that this sentence was half-truth, but it was not easy to say these words. He nodded and replied, "Thank you, fourth brother, for your concern."

Others said some congratulatory words behind the fourth prince, their faces were full of congratulations, but in fact they all had their own ghosts.When the time came, Nan Rong Zeyu got into the carriage and headed slowly towards the ferry without any hesitation.

Sitting on the carriage, Erjiu said, "I don't usually see anyone so considerate among those people, but now that our master is leaving, each one talks more than the other, wishing to use all the compliments, I feel annoyed when I see it. "

Nan Rong Zeyu patted Erjiu on the head and said, "Okay, maybe those officials really care about it, and they put so much effort into sending us off, so let's not think too much about it, let's think about what to do next .”

"Master, are we really going to be exiled? Second, I feel a little sad thinking about it."

"Don't think about it. It's July and August. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is just right. Why don't we go to the south of the Yangtze River together? You haven't left the capital since you were young. Now you finally have the opportunity to come out. Enjoy it."

The official road that takes nearly three days from the capital to the ferry is still under the jurisdiction of the capital, so naturally no one wants to expose it here.

Nanrong Zehan came back from the city gate and arrived at the prince's mansion. As soon as he entered the house, he felt a lot easier in his heart.

Seeing that his master was so happy, Mo Huai said in a low voice, "Master, our move is considered right."

"Our chess move is a big one. Even if Nan Rong Zeyu did not die in Jiangnan, wouldn't his father be suspicious when he returned to the capital? At that time, just come and secretly collude with the officials of the Jiangnan prefecture. , Father is such a suspicious person, wouldn't he be suspicious, this chess has to be played step by step to be fun."

in the Queen's Palace.

The queen was practicing calligraphy in the study, and the maid said after saluting, "Master, the prince is gone."

"How is the inquiry about what I asked you to inquire about?"

"The slave girl asked, and said that the emperor heard the rumor from nowhere. Qin Tianjian said that the prince has been in the capital all the time. From this year to the next year, there will be a conflict between the prince and the prince. It is better to keep the prince away from the capital. He also said This is a good opportunity for the prince to exercise. As for not being allowed to bring his entourage, it is said that the prince cannot bring people from the capital with him, for fear of offending someone."

The Queen's hand trembled, and a large black ink stain appeared on the entire rice paper. She put the pen away, and took the paper soaked in ink aside, "Qin Tianjian is so capable now, even this Everything is closed."

The servant girl hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, I don't understand, but the emperor did say so in the hall."

"Last winter, the emperor was seriously ill. I remember that Qin Tianjian told the emperor to go to Concubine Liang's public share for a period of time, and the emperor's illness suddenly recovered. This is really strange. For so many years, the palace has never I haven't believed in the Qin Tianjian, but it's really accurate."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Go and find someone outside the palace to investigate these two matters thoroughly. Also, this matter is not allowed to be told to outsiders."

"Yes."

The queen picked up the rice paper that had just been discarded on the table, looked at the large piece of ink and said, "Your Majesty, you are really old and useless now."

----

It happened to be night when we arrived at the ferry, so Yijiu found a hotel nearby, and the group packed up their things and checked into the inn.After leaving the capital, the conditions in other places are relatively poor, and the size of the room is not even comparable to the room of a servant in the Prince's Mansion.Nan Rong Zeyu quickly accepted after taking a look, "You two don't have to follow me, take turns, and the other should sleep well."

"Yes." [-] replied in unison.

I don't know if it's because the bed in this inn is uncomfortable, or because I feel uncomfortable in my heart, Nan Rong Zeyu lay down for a long time without feeling sleepy, and kept turning over on the bed, while Yijiu stood up and lit the lamp.

"If master can't sleep, let me talk to you."

"When Wuyu couldn't sleep in the prince's mansion, I felt uncomfortable on the first night when I came out."

On the [-]th, seeing Nanrong Zeyu's face was a little sad, he joked, "This person can't sleep, and when the master has a princess in the future, he must have a good dream every night."

Nan Rong Zeyu froze for a moment before saying, "Where did you hear that?"

Erjiu confessed honestly, "The coachman and the handyman often sat in front and chatted. Every time they talked about this topic, they both laughed. Erjiu thought that this must be understood by smart people. The master is so smart. , I’m sure you’ll laugh when you hear it.”

Nan Rong Zeyu shook his head, Erjiu is not much younger than Yijiu, how can he talk and act so much worse, one is mature and stable, and the other is always like a child. "Speak less of this in the future."

Erjiu scratched his head, "Master, you are 22 years old. At this age, you should marry a wife and have children. The empress told you a long time ago, and you seem to have never paid attention to it."

"It's not that I haven't noticed it, I just haven't met a person who can make me tempted."

"Master will definitely meet in the future. At that time, we will marry her home with honor, and give our prince's residence a good reputation."

Nanrong Zeyu laughed, scratched Erjiu's raised nose and said, "You, you know you have sweet dreams every day."

There were three or five big boats parked at the ferry. Nanrong Zeyu planned to build a big boat so that it wouldn't be too conspicuous among the crowd.Early in the morning of the [-]th, I went to the ferry to ask which boat would go first. When I arrived at the ferry, there were a lot of people waiting for the steward on board to come.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 30s. He was wearing fine silk and satin, and his whole body was thin, giving him a capable appearance.

"Don't make noise, the manager has something to say, if anyone makes noise, the boat won't leave!" A big man shouted at the side, and the crowd fell silent instantly.

"Ahem, let me say a few words. Our ship is going to leave today according to the plan. Now that there are water thieves in the Jiangnan area, we have sent more people on board. The cost is also high if there are more people, so one more person If you take one tael, you will be accepted for 25 taels, and if you don’t have 25 taels, then I’m sorry.”

Those who want to take a boat are just looking for a cheap way. This waterway is more than ten days slower than taking the official road, but it is much cheaper. Now that each person is paid a tael of silver, how can they bear the burden of the family.

Extra Story ([-])

"Boss, it's not this time that the increase is going to happen. We have all the money ready. You didn't notify me in advance. There are seven or eight people in my family. How can I have so much money?"

The steward said, "I didn't set the rules. I just spread the word. Do you like to sit or not? There are so many water thieves on the water. No one will protect you. Just wait and feed the fish in the water." After speaking, an egg was thrown on his face, and the entire head of the person in charge was covered with egg whites.

After Yijiu inquired about the ship's route, he bought breakfast before returning to the inn.When we arrived at the inn, Nanrong Zeyu just put on his clothes and sat by the bed to listen to what Yijiu inquired about.

"Master, since the protection of people has been strengthened on that ship, it seems to be good, we can sit on it."

"Well, I just hope there is nothing wrong on the way."

Although the price was increased by one tael, there were still many people who went to take the boat. Yijiu reserved three high-class rooms. They were all inexperienced in taking a boat for the first time, so they knew that the better the room, the less likely they would get seasick.

When the big ship was almost full of people, it started to head towards the south of the Yangtze River. When it slowly sailed out of the port, Nanrong Ze Yuou stood on the deck and looked at the crowds in the distance and the river below, knowing that this was a new beginning. .

There was nothing wrong with walking for more than ten days, and the seasickness at the beginning was not so obvious after getting used to it.The ship will stop at a port for one day every three to five days. The people on the ship can go down and wander around to sell daily necessities and local food, and the big ship will replenish food.

Yijiu stayed on the boat to look at things, Nanrong Zeyu took Erjiu off the boat to buy some food.This place is called Shenlin Town. Nanrong Zeyu wanted to ask the locals which state capital they had already arrived in, but people in this town had different opinions. Some said they were in Jingzhou, some said they were in Jinzhou, and some said they didn’t know. The accents of many people in the town are also different, which shows how messy it is.

"Well, I don't know how to buy more vegetables to eat on this boat. You can eat fresh vegetables and meat on the first day and the second day, but you can only eat some cured meat and seaweed in the next few days. After disembarking, I will never eat it again. If you don't eat kelp, the master will also suffer." Erjiu complained.

"It's really not like this in the palace, but those who don't have money can't even eat fresh food, so don't complain."

Shenlin Town is next to the port, and all households basically rely on the ships docked here to buy things to make money. There are many buyers and sellers, and the things inside are not expensive.The most difficult thing on the boat was the countless hours every day. Nanrong Zeyu asked Erjiu to buy a lot of pastries and miscellaneous books to pass the time when he was bored in bed.

Most of the people on the beach are wearing dark gray or black clothes. People in bright clothes are basically coming off the boat to buy things. The sellers judge the customers by their clothes.When I was buying nuts in a small shop, a touch of red in front of me made people have to pay attention.

"It's really rare to see people wearing bright red, could it be that they are married?" Erjiu asked while gnawing on a walnut while sticking his head out.

"I'm afraid not, it should be someone who disembarked to buy things."

Erjiu became even more curious, and took a few steps forward with the things in his arms, watching the back of the man approaching the front, staring fixedly for a few moments before running back.

"Master, that's a man!"

"What's so strange about men."

Erjiu made a big fuss and said, "There is no son in the capital who dares to dress like this, and bright red clothes are really rare. I just saw that person's appearance, he looks really good."

Nan Rong Zeyu turned his face to look in the direction of the man in red, just as the man in red also turned his head to look at him, their gazes met directly.

Although only half of his face was seen, Feng Lan smiled and left a deep impression on the man in white with a delicate white jade pendant pinned to his waist.

"My lord, your two catties of melon seeds are ready."

Seeing that his leader didn't respond, Lian Bo took the melon seeds and thanked him and said, "Master, we should go."

Feng Lan smiled and recovered, "There was someone looking at me just now."

Lian Bo knew his master's disposition, and said quickly, "Master, maybe it's just a coincidence, let's go quickly."

"Ah."

Back on the boat, the man in red appeared in Nanrong Zeyu's mind again, which was amazing, and his heart seemed to be stirred up.Even though I only looked at it from a distance, I seemed to feel something different.

"When will the manager pass by, give him some money and ask when he will arrive, and where he is now." Nan Rong Zeyu instructed.

The steward usually never comes to the cabin. If he hadn't seen him board the ship with his own eyes, everyone would have thought he was gone.Just in the evening, the steward passed by the door of their cabin, and Erjiu asked about the situation on board according to his master's instructions.

"The person in charge said that the place we went to today is because both Jingzhou and Jinzhou are vying for it, so it has not been determined who is in charge. After all, managing this port is a fat job."

"So those who want to belong to Jingzhou say they are from Jingzhou, and those who want to belong to Jinzhou say they are from Jinzhou. Doesn't the state government have jurisdiction over this kind of thing? Aren't the rules and regulations of the court clearly written? ?” Nanrong Zeyu questioned.

"It stands to reason that it should be like this, but who knows what will happen when it is actually implemented."

Nan Rong Zeyu didn't expect these things to happen during the time when he just set off, and the road going down might become more and more difficult.

"I also found out that the big ship will stop for three days when it arrives in Jinzhou. Master, do we want to go down? The emperor didn't say where you are going to Jiangnan. We can't just stay on the ship all the time."

Erjiu on the side patted him on the head quickly after hearing this, "You're tired of being on the boat, so you want to go down and have fun, don't you?"

Erjiu said aggrievedly, "Where is it? I just saw a pickle and a kelp on the left side of this boat. It's better to go down and walk around. It's better than suffering here. If you don't look at the master, his face is paler than before departure." A lot of them are caused by the bad food on this boat.”

Nan Rong Zeyu shook his head helplessly, "Don't talk about it, you two, let's get off the boat when we arrive in Jinzhou. It's not bad to ride a horse on the road."

Jinju is a very grand port in the eastern region, and it took a long time to find a place for the ship to dock.The person in charge of the ferry said that there were so many boats at this time that it was not easy to find a place to dock.After the boat was safely parked, Yijiujiu took his luggage and the three of them walked among the unremarkable crowd.Although the uneven road is a bit uncomfortable to walk on, it is still on land.The town in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous. Looking at this endless city, Nanrong Zeyu's mood also improved.

"You two have to remember, call me son from now on, we have enough silver, so don't disturb others."

"Yes."

Extra Story ([-])

The people in Jinzhou City were noisy, Nanrong Zeyu and his party found an inn near the small river to stay, and they could just see the small bridge and flowing water from the guest room.The places to the south are not as many dignitaries and dignitaries as in the capital, but they also appear to be wealthy.

As a newcomer, Nanrong Zeyu was on the way to inquire about the situation in Jinzhou, when the commotion ahead caught his attention.Erjiu was looking at the newly released fragrant fruits in a fruit shop, when he saw his master walking forward, he quickly threw his things and ran over.

"Oh, this little girl's family is so pitiful, she sold her body to bury her father."

"Who knows if it's true or a lie. I heard a few years ago that a weak little girl entered a rich family's house as a maid, and ended up stealing a lot of money and flying away. People on the side of the road are still unreliable after all."

"There is no such a coincidence in this matter. I think there should be nothing wrong with this girl's family."

Nanrong Zeyu waited for the uninterested people in front to walk away before carefully moving in. A girl in white filial piety was kneeling on the ground. A piece of white cloth next to her said that she lost her mother when she was young, and now she lost her father. I had no money to buy a coffin for my father, so I sold myself to bury my father.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the capital, people just look at it, and if they really want to be servants, they kindly spend some money to bring them back home.

Erjiu panted and squeezed to Nan Rong Zeyu's side, and saw that his master's face was a bit sad, and when he was about to take out the money, Nan Rong Zeyu blocked his hand, then turned and left.

Erjiu quickly squeezed out from the crowd again, "Master, why did you come out just now, didn't you want to buy a maid?"

"There are many such things in the world, and I can take care of a few. Besides, our trip is special this time. The fewer people there are, the better. You can find someone to watch and let the girl know when she arrives at a good place."

"Yes, I thought the master was going to accept it just now."

Nan Rong Zeyu said helplessly, "You miss women that much."

Erjiu was still regretting later, he shouldn't have guessed the master's mind casually, when he heard the word woman, he hurriedly ran after him to explain, "I...I didn't, I just said it casually."

Maps of several states in the south of the Yangtze River were already in hand, and when Nanrong Zeyu was considering where to go next, Yijiu knocked on the door and came in from the outside, standing aside with a heavy face.

"What's wrong?" Nan Rong Zeyu asked as he put down the map in his hand.

"Something happened. The girl you asked to follow last time was originally bought by a wealthy man to be a maid, but three days after taking it, she appeared in the trading market in the south of the city. I went to inquire, and it seems that Something not so good."

"What's not so good?"

"It is said that the area in the south of the city is secretly doing human trafficking."

"Human trafficking?"

"Yes."

Nan Rong Zeyu frowned subconsciously. Human trafficking was a thing when the country was founded. Now hundreds of years have passed, and it has long been forbidden. Why did it appear here again?

"Have you asked what human trafficking is?"

"After some inquiries, they said that they were middle-aged men fishing in the east. Because of the high risk of fishing, many men cannot marry a wife, and no one wants to be a widow. People there still want boys, so some people sell them from other places. The woman goes."

"Presumptuousness, the country expressly prohibits it, do those people ignore it?"

Yijiu noticed that the master's tone was unusual, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't know the rest. Those people saw that I am not a local, so they didn't dare to say more, they only said these in bits and pieces."

"Get up first, this matter is very important, and it won't be resolved in a while. In this way, you should find someone to continue to inquire, and you can't sit still."

After Yijiu retreated, Nanrong Zeyu sat by the window for a long time, and suddenly felt that many things were beyond his expectation, that is to say, there were still many things he didn't know.

In the end, he picked up a pen and wrote the characters 'Human Trafficking' on the rice paper. In his brain, a voice seemed to tell him that there was still a lot to write on this paper.

Walking on the street again, the yelling of vendors and the sounds of children playing were a little different. Nanrong Zeyu walked to a dumpling stand and said to the vendor, "Have a bowl of dumplings."

"Okay, what do you want?"

"It will be all right."

"Then our family will give you the most delicious stuffed pork and green onions. Guest officer, you can sit anywhere."

The dumpling stand is said to sell dumplings, but it’s actually just a stall set up on a shelf cart, with a few small benches and two wooden tables for customers to sit on. Nan Rong Zeyu looked at the stains on the stools, and was sweating profusely with his bare arms The man exuding the smell stood alone at the side.

Yijiu followed behind him and asked, "Master, if you want to eat, there is a restaurant in front of us, we want a room to eat, why do you have to be crowded by these people, standing on the road is so dusty and dirty. "

Nanrong Zeyu said in a low voice, "Since we want to check things, it's better to stay here. You go to the restaurant in front to pack some food and bring them back. Erjiu has to wait at the inn."

"Master, you can't be alone."

"Don't worry, this is a busy city with many people. Nothing will happen to me."

Yijiu knew this was the reason, but he still didn't want to leave. It was too dangerous for the master to be outside alone.

"You guys, always
