Jiaohua

All the way to Zhufengfang, Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie were chatting all the way.

Starting from Wenchao, we talked about more cultures, and finally involved education, politics, geography, industry, agriculture, ideology, economy, urban construction, military...

How long will the longest thread be placed, and how far can the biggest step be taken? Xia Zhaoyi used to always say ten years, 20 years or 100 years. In fact, she thinks that with the vision and knowledge of these people now, maybe 200 years will be very long. hanging.

Xia Zhaoyi joked: "I think, why don't I buy Tang Xiangsi, Wei Xingchuan, Feng Qingang, etc., their immortality comes from somewhere, and let them look after it for me, maybe it's ok. "

Shen Lie smiled lightly: "If they look at it, they may steal the country."

"Will it? I always feel that if I can achieve longevity, I don't need power anymore. Longevity is already boring enough."

"But do you think Wei Xingchuan is boring?"

Xia Zhaoyi paused, then smiled: "That's right, why is he so boring? He has to deal with the Qiao family every day, and he has to control the Fang family, the Jin family, and the Chen family, and he is still trying to find Tang Xiangsi. He is busy Very much."

"If he is busy, he has intentions. If he is so busy, he must have a lot of plans behind him."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't just say that casually, I was thinking earlier, if longevity is really so boring, they should yearn for a new world with a new face. "

As she spoke, she stopped slowly and looked at the bustling night market across the bridge: "Look, from now on, this place will take on a completely new look."

It is said to be prosperous, but it is not a long street like Hengxiang where fish and dragons dance, with all kinds of stalls lined up, and there are endless shouts.Instead, there are people everywhere who are busy, beating, pushing carts or delivering water.

In front of these crowds, brand-new houses are being built, and children are bouncing around and playing around, and will be chased away by the annoying craftsmen from time to time.

"It's from the Ministry of Industry," Xia Zhaoyi said, "And those beggars are building houses for them."

"Covered here?"

"Well, this is a very good location," Xia Zhaoyi looked around, "It's also lively, and beggars are the most vulnerable to being abused. If they are kept in a busy city, there will be fewer people who dare to use knives. But..."

Xia Zhaoyi looked to the south. Her big warehouse in Hejing was just south of the bridge across the city river.

There is more than one warehouse there, and there are also hoards of other merchants or officials. Going all the way from the Yanshui River across the city is the largest ferry of Hejing.

"I hope these beggars will behave themselves in the future, and don't be thieves or robbers." Xia Zhaoyi said, stepping onto the stone bridge.

The stone bridge is an old bluestone slab, and a lot of green moss grows in the gaps between the platform and the steps.

Shen Lie stepped up to keep up: "Even if you give them a livelihood, those who should steal will still steal. They may not be beggars, there are many ordinary people who are good at stealing."

"So the legislation should be strict, and it should be handed over to those officials in the Ministry of Officials who are still arguing."

Thinking of the officials who had heard so much noise in the past few days that they tore up their books, Shen Lie said casually: "They have established the law, can you read it?"

Xia Zhaoyi's steps were light, and she had already climbed a few times. Hearing this, she looked back at the highest point of the stone bridge, and said with a smile: "This method must be judged in the end. Isn't my master sitting in charge? If he doesn't want to take care of it, why not?" With me, you can also help me as a reference."

Shen Lie raised his eyes and looked at her. It is rare to look at her from such an angle. The river is windy, and the girl is wearing a light yellow shirt fluttering in the wind. Her condescending smile is playful, and the trust in her eyes is warm. Like smoke and rain, but also bright because of the lights in the distance.

Shen Lie smiled slightly: "Okay, I must also have a lot of incomplete thoughts and shallowness, but I will read more."

Xia Zhaoyi's smile deepened, and a hint of naughtiness suddenly appeared in her eyes. With her hands behind her back, she bent down and looked into Shen Lie's eyes without blinking. Looking down at him, she suddenly became flustered and quickly pretended to be calm. black eyes.

Under the light of the starry night, the clean and stern outline is softened by the soft light, the brows and eyes are clear and bright, and the Fengshen is handsome, and the frivolity of the spear is invisible. It is still as cold as a snow mountain, but it is a snow mountain illuminated by the moonlight .

There was another gust of wind, and the girl's ponytail was blown from behind, and the hem of her skirt flew up. Her eyes were shining with a sly brilliance, dewy and clean.

Shen Lie's lips parted slightly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a very low voice: "...Ali?"

No matter how calm he was, Xia Zhaoyi could clearly see a faint blush creeping up his cheeks and ears, Xia Zhaoyi pursed his lips and smiled softly: "Mmm..."

She turned around and said with a bright face: "It is indeed good to read more, but some books are unreadable, and the more you read, the more pedantic you become."

Shen Lie's chaotic heartbeat was finally able to suspend, and he followed and said: "A few days ago, your master gave me some gifts, some of which I have never seen before, and he said, I want to ask you."

"Huh?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him curiously, "My master? Isn't it Old Sect Master Gu?"

"Well, it's your master."

"It's strange..." Xia Zhaoyi muttered, "My master doesn't like to show off, and usually says what he has, so why beat around the bush."

"I do not know either."

"Okay then, I'll take a look when I get back."

"Ah."

There is a flat area on the stone bridge, and there is a stone step going down through this flat area.

A bunch of children were running around, several holding candied haws.When passing by Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie, almost every child would slow down and look up at them.

The overly eye-catching two got off the bridge, and the directors of the Ministry of Industry over there noticed it. They were not sure before, but when the two got closer and closer, a few people finally couldn't hold back, and came to ask if it was Miss Ali and Shen. General.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Don't worry about us, we're here for sightseeing and looking for something to eat."

"Miss Ali, I heard that there will be fireworks tonight, are there really?"

The other person also hurriedly said: "That's right! It is said that it is here in Zhufengfang. Originally, I was resting tonight, so I came to see it specially!"

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the sky and said, "There's still a while, it's Xu time."

"Really!"

"some."

"Okay, then I'll go tell my brothers!"

The others also said their goodbyes and left one after another. After a few steps, one of them suddenly turned around and gave Shen Lie a thumbs up: "General Shen, you are so beautiful!!"

Shen Lie: "..."

Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and chuckled lightly.

Seeing her in such a happy mood, Shen Lie smiled and said, "I've been praised."

Xia Zhaoyi said: "Even if they are your enemies, no matter how much they hate you, they won't dare to call you ugly. Because you are really good-looking, and you can't tolerate doubts about your beauty."

Shen Lie's cheeks flushed again, and he said with a smile: "... I was praised again, thank you, Li."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and lightly cupped his fists: "Today you still praised me for being extremely beautiful, thank you Mr. Shen!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes fell on a riverside inn on the right side of Shen Lie. On the second floor stood a man leaning on the railing. He was dressed in a black long gown, neat and sassy, ​​and his dark eyes met hers.
