Chapter 603: Beautiful scenery (3)
"You're right! Come to think of it, the life of the Ava tribe has been easier in the past two years. This Eldar must have been instigated by someone, so he asked to come here. It's just a small lesson from him. , but you are only an eighth-rank official, and you have no real power in your hands, how could you think that I will help you?"

Jingyi's face darkened, and she said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's the purpose of his coming, not to ask you to help, I'm afraid he has other plans!"

Yuan Xi's eyes were a little dark, "This Ava tribe, it seems that he has lived comfortably for too long! Since someone has started to be restless, then I don't have to show mercy anymore! Hmph! This person must have survived again. It is necessary to stir up the idea that the closure of the city is not peaceful."

At this time, Jingyi also understood that this city has changed too much. After many people from other places arrived in the city, they felt that they were two places compared to two years ago!I'm afraid that it will also attract the hatred of some people!

"Yuanxi, what are you going to do?"

"Simple, the reason why Elda was provoked is because his people have lived too peacefully for a while! If he wants to cause trouble for me, he must have the time and conditions himself! Let Ava It is necessary for the people of the clan to learn some lessons! Eldar is a smart person, and he will figure out the key soon!"

"That's fine, just play it well, but you have to grasp the severity."

"Don't worry! As for the instigator behind the scenes, if I don't find out, won't people think I'm incompetent?" Yuan Xi said with some disdain.

Jingyi lightly raised her eyebrows, are you incompetent?Who dares to say that?This city has been governed in an orderly manner in only two and a half years. Scholars, scholars, workers, farmers, and merchants, which one is not developing rapidly and steadily?Looking at Dayuan now, I am afraid that this city is not the most impoverished place anymore, is it?
Yuanxi talked with Jingyi for a while in the mansion, then got up and went to the Yizhengyuan, and Jingyi also returned to the Wenhuayuan.

Soon, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.In the early morning of this day, Yuan Xi and Jing Yi dressed neatly, took a carriage and went to the Charity Hall to pick up a few older children, and went to the bank of the Yang River together.

A lot of people gathered by the Yang River, most of them came from one family.Some women were still holding children in their arms, and when they looked from a distance, they could see something was smeared on the child's forehead.

It was the first time for some children to accompany Jing Yi to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, and they couldn't help being curious, "Your Highness, what are those children's foreheads?"

Jingyi smiled and said: "This is a custom! During the Dragon Boat Festival, realgar is used to smear children's foreheads to repel poisonous insects. The most common way is to use realgar wine to draw the character 'Wang' on children's foreheads. The forehead pattern of 'Wang' resembles a tiger. , and the tiger is the king of beasts, because it replaces the tiger! This custom uses the realgar to drive away poison, and the tiger to suppress evil."

The children nodded and said, "I see!"

"More than that, you see that many children wear a kind of kit called 'Longevity Thread' on their necks, which is the same as what you wear, and they are all made of five-color knots. But To avoid disasters and illnesses, to protect health, to prolong life. Of course, these are just folk customs.”

The children looked at the kits around their necks, and then looked at other people's bags, they were almost the same!

"You all sit quietly, the dragon boat race will start later. Don't run around."

"Yes! Your Highness."

Before the dragon boat race, a series of sacrificial activities such as inviting the dragon and offering sacrifices to the gods are nothing more than lighting joss sticks, burning paper money, and offering some cattle, sheep, rice dumplings, etc., in order to hope for a good harvest and good weather.In fact, Jingyi is not keen on this kind of activities, she doesn't like to be lively, but her identity is here, so it would be inappropriate for Princess Ping not to attend such a grand event!

The dragon boat race started, and Jingyi sat on a chair a little bored, watching the dozen or so dragon boats on the river competing to set sail, her thoughts had already flown thousands of miles away, wondering whether her mother and the others had already eaten rice dumplings ?Is grandfather in good health?How is her little nephew doing now?I don't know if I will be called aunt?
"What are you thinking?" Yuan Xi leaned over and asked with a smile on his face.

"It's nothing! I just miss them a little bit." Jing Yi only said "they", and Yuan Xi understood what she was thinking.

Yuan Xi gently held Jingyi's soft body, "How about I ask someone to arrange for my mother-in-law to come and seal the city?"

Jingyi shook her head, "Forget it! Now is the troubled season, so don't take any more risky actions! Now that the city is closed and prosperous, your reputation has spread all over the country. I don't know how many people there are. Waiting to catch your fault!"

"Don't be afraid! My husband doesn't plan to bear it any longer. Since we are determined to manage the closed city well, we will inevitably be prepared to be criticized or even missed! We are now in a stronger position than two years ago. Quite a lot! Not only in terms of money, but also in terms of military strength, we are exactly the same as King Ming and King Jin!"

Jingyi smiled lightly, "It's not only the same! I'm afraid it's even stronger than them?"

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, "Why does my lady always tell the truth? If they listened to it, wouldn't they be shocked to death by your words?"

"That's just right! It saves us another shot! Just one sentence cost them half their lives, so why not just send another sentence?"

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, "You! This sharp mouth really never wants to suffer!"

Jingyi stared at her beautiful eyes! "What? You really want me to suffer?"

"Where! As a husband, I naturally hope that my wife will never suffer! It is only right for my wife to let others suffer!"

"It's almost there!"

Jingyi glanced at it, lying on the edge of the corridor in another pavilion, looked at the children on the dragon boat with great anticipation and excitement, and said: "These children are all good! Although they don't have the talent to practice martial arts, they are still good at learning martial arts." All skills! I thought about letting them stay in the charity hall, mainly responsible for some guard work! Although their skills are not as good as those cultivated by your dark pavilion, they are trained by Huayang. It was trained by the monks in the temple. All kinds of reactions are much better than ordinary guards."

"It's up to you to arrange. These children are closer to you, but if there are some boys among them, you should pay more attention in the future."

Jing Yi glanced at him, "They're less than ten years old, okay?"

"That doesn't work either! Even one year old, that's still a boy!" A certain man said shamelessly and domineeringly.

Jing Yi rolled his eyes at him and stopped looking at him!Yuan Xi smiled softly. If someone saw that the always gentle, generous, noble and elegant Concubine Ping would make such a dignified expression, they would definitely fall down!
After a busy day, Jingyi was also extremely tired, lying down on the bed at night and didn't want to move.
