The stall owner is an old man. He is slow in delivering tea and water. The old man is alone here.
Lin Shiyi looked at the poor man, looked for his money bag and put it into the old man''s clothes pocket secretly.
Just want to come, Jingzhou has become so, even if the money is what?
"Old man, why are you the only one here?" Lin Shiyi was puzzled and asked, "is there no one to help?"
The old man looked at them, half squinting, a pair of muddy eyes, looking up and down at Lin Shiyi and he Yuning, and said in a dumb voice, "I have a son, who is as old as you."
"Since you have a son, how can you rest assured that you are here alone?" Lin Shiyi asked in surprise.
The old man sighed and sat on the chair, slowly shaking the fan. His tan skin was wrinkled, dry and rough.
"My son died of plague a long time ago."
His voice is faint, but it seems to say a common thing.
Lin Shi was surprised and ashamed. Obviously, he should not talk about it.
However, the old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "well, my son is not the only one who is ill. If you go to see him in Jingzhou, you will know how terrible he is."
Then he looked at them with some doubts and said, "you two don''t look like refugees, but why are you here? You know, now Jingzhou is a sick city that can kill people! "
"We..."
"We passed by." He Yu rather light ground says, interrupted the words that Lin Shi one prepares to say.
Lin Shiyi is quite surprised. He Yuning is too careful. What does such an old man know?
The old man didn''t speak. He looked at the distance quietly. He didn''t know what he was thinking. When everyone was ready to leave, he slowly stood up and cleaned up the bowl on the table.
Lin Shi couldn''t bear it. As soon as he got on the carriage, he sighed and looked sad.
He Yu Ning raised his eyes to look at her, knew that she moved a bit of compassion, glanced at the scenery outside the window, and then said, "now it''s like this, when it''s time to enter Jingzhou, I''m afraid you don''t want to get off."
Lin Shi a frown, although don''t want to admit, just he Yu Ning said may be true.
At dusk, the carriage slowly drove into Jingzhou.
The magistrate and master of Jingzhou had known that the imperial court had sent people down and had been waiting at the gate of the city.
They were dressed luxuriantly, riding on big horses, and their faces were ruddy. They didn''t look like they were in famine.
He Yining told Lin Shiyi not to stick his head out, and Wu walked out of the carriage.
Zhizhou and shiye were a little surprised when they saw he Yuning. They thought that the officials from the capital should be older. They didn''t expect that they were so young.
Said, two people then smile to make Yi, respectfully way, "see adult."
"No need." He Yu rather light ground says, come today, he already concealed identity. These two officials only know that they are the officials sent by the imperial court to inspect, but they don''t know his real identity.
He looked around, only to find that it didn''t look like a famine. Although there were not many people, they were already decorated with silk, and the ground was covered with red silk, which looked extremely luxurious.
He Yu rather frowned, rather dissatisfied, cold voice way, "I heard Jingzhou drought and epidemic disease this year, so meet, in fact too extravagant."
"Don''t worry, sir. The epidemic in Jingzhou has been brought under control. Although there is a great famine, granaries have been opened for disaster relief." Zhizhou said with a smile, looking rather proud.
He Yu rather picks eyebrow, only feel funny, if not that prescription is oneself develop, fear still really some believe the words of Zhi Zhou.
But Jingzhou is still like this now. If you want to know it, you must have something to do with shiye.
He Yu rather detailed dress don''t know of appearance, slightly nod, light way, "the boat is tired, here can have a place to rest?"
After hearing what he Yu Ning said, they looked at each other and laughed. He Yu Ning should also be an excellent "handling" official.
Two people politely turn around, said already in the largest place of prefecture to Heyu Ning arranged a place.
But along the way, the road seems to be as usual, everywhere decorated, but also did not see a Jingzhou people.
Even though Lin Shiyi has been hiding in the car, he is aware that something is wrong.
See he Yu rather walk up carriage, just whispered, "what''s going on here?"? I don''t see anyone. "
"I think they should not be allowed to go out." He Yu Ning said faintly, looking coldly at the two high headed officials in front, sneered, "this is Jingzhou''s parents in the end."
"It must have been the two of them on purpose!" Lin Shiyi said angrily.
In the end, but some melancholy, worried to look at He Yu Ning way, "but they already know you want to come, must have been fully prepared, now it seems, Jingzhou is like normal."He Yu rather lightly sighs a, glances at Lin Shi one, seem to be calculating what matter.
Lin Shi raises an eye to look at He Yu rather to think, looking at her eyes, immediately feel a bit bad premonition.
Stare big eye, nervously looking at He Yu Ning, way, "what do you mean this?"? Why are you looking at me like this? "
"Didn''t you come to Jingzhou to help me with the disaster relief?" He Yu rather picks eyebrow, in the eyes flash a smile.
Lin Shiyi was silent and pondered for a long time. He was embarrassed and said with a smile, "really..."
"That''s not what you said in front of the king. Now that you are here, are you going to turn back?" He Yu rather raises an eye, a pair of eyes Mou quietly looking at Lin Shi one, take a few minutes to force.
Lin Shiyi was a little stunned, rather unconvinced, "I didn''t say that What are you going to do? "
In the heart, inexplicable hate oneself not by He Yu Ning a stir.
However, he Yu Ning laughs. Seeing Lin Shi Yi''s appearance of fear, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. He mysteriously lowers his voice and says, "well, I''ll tell you how to do this thing in the future. You should have a good rest today. I''m afraid that for today''s sake, the magistrate and master of Jingzhou should also spend a lot of" thinking. "
Everything is as expected.
On the first night in Jingzhou, the dinner was very rich.
I don''t know if it''s because Zhizhou and shiye deliberately bluff to let he Yuning know that he is in good condition, or they have half a mind to do something wrong with Xiaojiu. They are respectful to he Yuning.
At the banquet, Lin Shiyi pretends to be a little bodyguard, and stands behind with Qing Xian and others, watching he Yuning sitting alone on the high seat, tasting all the delicacies.
"I don''t know where you are, but you look young. I think you are young and promising." The master raised the glass glass with a smile, half complimenting and half testing.
Just he Yu rather smile not language, Wu from drink.
So, it''s a little more mysterious.
Lin Shiyi stood behind and turned his lips, but he listened to the master''s clever words. I''m afraid he didn''t come here, and Jingzhou was finished.
"The delicacies are better than the banquets in the imperial palace. I really don''t know how two little Zhizhou and shiye have such skills." One side of the green envy is a real goods, each dish must first try the poison to let people carry up.
At that time, it was just about time to carry a large plate of black burnt meat. It smelled delicious and looked fresh. It was cut from the burnt black pastry outside, and inside was the tender red meat.
"Oh, that''s a good thing." Another bodyguard on one side said in surprise, but there was no surprise in his words.
With Green Envy look at each other, two people is to show a bit meaningful look.
When Qingxian put the silver fork in his hand into the tender meat and cut it slightly, he saw that the fresh juice slipped from the meat, spreading a strong fragrance.
Lin Shiyi was greedy. Looking at the tender meat, he could not guess what it was. He was quite curious.
"It''s a white deer only found on the snow mountain in the north. It lives in the cold all the year round, so its meat is tender and delicious, and it has a lot of energy In the past, only ten of them were sent to the imperial palace. They all came at the end of the new year. Now it''s only a few months, but it''s Jingzhou. I don''t know where they got the White Deer! " Qingxian said in a low voice.
Lin Shi understood all kinds of reasons as soon as he got there. He looked at Zhizhou and his master, but he saw that Zhizhou had a fat head and a big stomach, so he didn''t worry about food and clothing.
It''s just that the master has a slender body and a sharp mouth, so he is a person who can manage the two.
At this time, in the hall singing and dancing, the dancing qiuniang is beautiful and slim, and the beautiful women in Jingzhou have their own customs.
In today''s situation, thanks to the fact that they can find these dancers.
Lin Shiyi looked at the white deer meat on the table, but he didn''t know what he felt in his heart.
I only saw that I put two pieces of chopsticks into the bowl, and then I said with a smile, "I heard that this is the last dish at the banquet. All the servants who want to accompany me all the way want to taste something fresh. I''m very happy for the first time today, so I''d better give them a reward."
Zhizhou a look at the back, standing a few bodyguards, looks ordinary, just think that although the white deer is a rare thing, but he Yu would rather speak, naturally don''t say much.
Chewing the meat in front of him, Zhizhou waved and motioned the maid to take it down.
Want to come, feel that he Yu Ning even white deer have never eaten, originally is a never seen the world.
Zhizhou made up his mind to treat him well these two days. When the time came, he would send him away respectfully. At that time, no one would come here to disturb him.
Lin Shiyi turned his lips, watched the maid bring the dish from above, and heard that the white deer was so precious that it was hard to eat.
But the maid seemed to be absent-minded. She served food for everyone, but she didn''t always look at the people on the table.In his eyes, there was a kind of sadness.
