Fulu Rubik's Cube

Chapter 626 Ding Xiuqing

'Qingshui County' is located on the south side of Dapenglai Island. The terrain is oval-shaped.

Ding Xiuqing and her relatives left the pier and walked towards the nearest town.

The road under his feet should be paved with the legendary cement, as hard as a slate, as smooth as a mirror.

The road is wide and the ground is cleaner than her own home. Ding Xiuqing glanced at it casually.

Road width: five feet one foot three inches

This is his gift, his extreme sensitivity to colour, distance and numbers.

All kinds of flowers, plants and trees are planted on both sides of the road. The green trees and colorful flowers give off bursts of fragrance of flowers and plants.

Seeing this fresh and beautiful scene, Ding Xiuqing was refreshed, and even felt a lot better.

This is completely unimaginable in Kunzhu Mountain, where, apart from the fishy smell of sea water, there is the smell of fish and shrimp.

"smell good!"

The younger sister Ding Xiulian let out a low cry, flaring her nostrils from time to time, breathing heavily.

"What a beautiful place!"

"That's right! I've heard that Penglai Island is like a fairyland, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

"Tch, what is this place? You won't understand what a fairyland is until you get to the county."

There were exclamations and some people's proud words not far away.

Ding Xiuqing turned his head and took a look. His eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary people so that he could see the bee flapping its wings hundreds of meters away.

He could clearly see the astonished expressions of those dozens of people.

Ding Xiuqing turned her head and saw that her grandmother was exhausted, so she turned the bookcase on her chest, carried her on her back and continued walking.

Along the way, Ding Xiulian let out repeated exclamations from time to time.

"Look! Brother, why is the rice there red?"

"Wow! Brother, look, there are wooden men working in the field?"

"Hey, what is that, such a big windmill, why does it turn without wind?"

"."

Ding Xiuqing didn't answer his sister's question, because he didn't understand these things either.

After walking more than two miles, Ding Xiuqing's nose and temples were soaked with sweat.

There were many pedestrians on the road, and a large number of carriages and riders drove past the three of them from time to time.

Only then did Ding Xiuqing realize that the middle section of the road was used by vehicles and horses.

"Jinglingling~~!"

Another crisp bell rang, and a carriage quickly passed by Ding Xiuqing and the three of them.

"Woo~~~!"

With a shout, the horses pulling the carriage were stopped by the driver a few steps in front of Ding Xiuqing, and the carriage stopped by the side of the road.

A guy in his 20s jumped out of the car.

After a few steps, he came up to the three of them, and glanced at the ropes that bound them.

He cupped his hands and said to Ding Xiuqing:

"Sanshui Town Geng Zi Liu Bao San Jia Chang Shi Kaiying is polite, I don't know how many people are related?"

Ding Xiuqing hurriedly put her grandmother down, cupped her hands and was about to speak when Shi Kaiying said:

"Let the little girl answer!"

Ding Xiuqing was stunned, seeing Shi Kaiying's hands hanging down, holding a bell in his left hand, and a four-foot-long iron whip around his waist, his right hand was holding the iron whip guard.

Ding Xiuqing couldn't help raising her vigilance and secretly guarded.

'Isn't it said that Penglai Jiujun Road doesn't close the door at night if you don't pick up things? How can you meet bad people here? '

Ding Xiulian was a little frightened, and stuck close to Ding Xiuqing's side, not daring to speak nonsense.

Ding Xiuqing's grandmother saw some clues, and said with a strong spirit:
"Old man Ding Huang, this is the grandson Xiuqing, and this is the granddaughter Xiulian, who met Chief Shi Jia."

Shi Kaiying's expression softened a lot, and he moved his right hand away from his waist.

"Do you have proof?"

Ding Xiuqing opened the bookcase without saying a word, took out the identity certificate and handed it to Shi Kaiying.

Although this is a thing from Kunzhu Mountain, it can also prove its identity.

Shi Kaiying took the voucher, glanced at it a few times, and asked:

"It turns out that the three are from Kunzhu Mountain. Shi was rude."

After finishing speaking, he returned the Ding family's identity certificate to Ding Xiuqing. Seeing that his face was not very good, he was obviously a little bit worried about his behavior of blocking the way.

Arched explained:
"Ding Xianggong does not know that the status of women in the nine counties of Penglai is very high, so outsiders often abduct girls to come here.

I have offended my husband this time, I have offended you so much, I am sorry. "

Ding Xiuqing felt strange, but didn't say anything.

Shi Kaiying looked at the appearance of the three and asked:

"The three of you are going to Sanshui Town. I wonder if you would like to ride with Shi?"

Ding Xiuqing had the unique arrogance of scholars in his bones, and he didn't want to go with such traffickers.

But looking at the elderly grandmother and young sister, she was silent for a moment, then cupped her hands and said:
"Thank you, Chief Shijia!"

"Hehe! It's nothing, a certain family is also on the same road, please!"

Pulling aside the low stool, Ding Xiuqing helped her grandmother and younger sister into the carriage, but she saw a woman in her 20s with two children, a boy and a girl, in the carriage.

Immediately he hesitated, this was obviously a relative of Chief Shi Jia, but he was a little reckless this time.

Just about to get out of the car, I heard the woman in the car say:

"Sister-in-law's help is in hand, power is also, Mr. Ding doesn't need to care about it."

Ding Xiuqing's heart skipped a beat, she bowed her hands and sat down slowly.

Ding Xiulian gently grabbed Ding Xiuqing's lapel with her hands, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, I don't understand what this sister is talking about."

Ding Xiuqing looked up at the woman, and saw that she had a handsome appearance, her waist was straightened, her hands were crossed in front of her body, and her posture was very dignified.

I can't help but feel sorry for her secretly, how did such a well-educated woman find a boss.

The younger sister's question was difficult to answer in front of the woman.

At this moment, the carriage moved slightly, and then moved quickly.

"Wow! What a stable carriage!"

"Hey! Brother, look, you can see the outside from this window."

Ding Xiuqing turned her head involuntarily, and saw that there were small windows on both sides of the carriage, which were blocked by curtains, and the curtains were opened by a swing of the carriage after it started.

Ding Xiulian's sharp eyes immediately noticed the difference.

Pulling open the curtain, I saw a piece of transparent colored glass inlaid on the window, allowing a clear view of the outside.

Ding Xiuqing was secretly startled, could it be that Shi Jiachang was born in a wealthy family, and he actually ground such precious colored glaze into windows.

"Hee hee! Sister, they must be from other places, they don't even know glass, haha!"

Among the two children beside the woman in the car, one of the boys whispered to the girl beside him.

The two children have similar eyebrows and eyes, and they are obviously twins of the same mother.

The girl looked up at Ding Xiulian, then turned to the boy and said:
"Say no evil!"

The boy blushed, turned to Ding Xiulian and said:

"The boy is rude, and his words are Meng Lang, please forgive me."

This time, Ding Xiuqing was really taken aback. He had never seen a child of how old with a certain degree of speech and behavior in his life.

"It's okay, I'm new here, so I don't have much knowledge, no wonder the young man."

The woman in the car waited for the boy to apologize before saying:
"Speech without words, what your heart thinks, go home and recite ten times."

The boy's face turned bitter, but he didn't dare to argue, and said in a low voice:
"Yes! I know I made a mistake, so I must correct it!"

Ding Xiuqing's grandmother, Ding Huangshi, has recovered a bit at this time, as a person who has experienced the ups and downs of the Ding family.

She knows what a good wife can bring to the family.

Although the woman in the car was nice, she was already someone else's wife, so she naturally wouldn't have any thoughts.

But the boy in front of her caught her attention, and she was greatly surprised that such a young child could say such words.

In Kunzhu Mountain, children of the same age are either chasing chickens and beating dogs or making a fuss. I have never seen such a polite child.

Harmony asked:

"Is the little lady a local?"

The woman in the car said softly:
"My name is Yu Zhongxiu, from Sanshui Township, my humble husband Shi Kaiying is outside, and these are my two children, Ziyu and Zihui."

Ding Xiuqing felt a little embarrassed, how could a woman's boudoir name be freely disclosed to others.

Yu Zhongxiu saw that he was unwell, and said with a smile:

"Nine counties of Penglai are not other places. Here, women can also go out and do things dignifiedly."

Ding Xiuqing looked at Yu Zhongxiu who behaved generously, her heart couldn't help being moved, even though she knew that her thought was wrong, she couldn't help being moved by it.

Ding Huang was also a little surprised, just a short contact, she found that the people in the nine counties of Penglai seem to be very different from the people in other places.

But she couldn't tell exactly what was different.

"Then I will call you Zhongxiu if I rely on the old to sell the old."

Yu Zhongxiu smiled and said:

"Old age is respected, as it should be."

Ding Huang felt sorry for herself, why did she meet such a good girl by herself, if she met earlier, it would be great to be a daughter-in-law for herself.

Putting aside the thoughts in his head, he asked:
"We are from Kunzhu Mountain. We are new here and don't know what to pay attention to. Could Zhongxiu give me some pointers?"

Yu Zhongxiu glanced at the three of them, but his attention was on Ding Xiulian.

"Are the three permanent residents or temporary residents?"

Ding Huang laughed 'hehe' and said:
"There are villains in Kunzhu Mountain who are provoking trouble, but they are planning to live here for a long time."

Her words slightly clarified the situation of the three of them, and she wanted to see Yu Zhongxiu's attitude when she heard these words.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhongxiu didn't care about it, but her eyes lit up, and she seemed to be more interested.

"It is very difficult for outsiders to settle in the Nine Counties of Penglai, at least they need to refrain from committing crimes within ten years before they can settle down."

Then Yu Zhongxiu changed the subject and said:

"What do you think of my child?"

Ding Huang praised:
"The dragon and phoenix among people are nothing more than this."

Yu Zhongxiu chuckled and explained:
"As you may not know, children over the age of seven from the nine prefectures of Penglai will be admitted to the palace for free for ten years.

In addition, certain subsidies will be given to the families of the children entering school. "

Ding Xiuqing lost her voice and said:

"Ten years of free admission, can both men and women be accepted?"

Yu Zhongxiu nodded.

"Regardless of gender, this is a qualification that only the people of the Nine Counties of Penglai, the territory of the Southern Sect, can have.

In the academy, all kinds of knowledge will be imparted, including writing, arithmetic, etiquette, and all kinds of craftsmanship. "

Ding Xiuqing exclaimed in disbelief:

"This is impossible. There are so many people in the nine counties of Penglai. If all boys can go to school, how much will it cost?"

Yu Zhongxiu's eyes sparkled, her expression was indifferent, her voice was not high, but she was confident and proud from the bottom of her heart.

"Earlier this month, the latest report of Jiusan Water Town announced that the nine counties of Penglai now have a population of 760 million.

The number of illiterate people is."

Ding Xiuqing held her breath, fixed her eyes on Yu Zhongxiu's face, and only heard Yu Zhongxiu say:
"420 seven people!"
