Chapter 948 Trip to Mianzhou (4)

Qi Hao didn't live in the inn, and the group lived in the inn. It's not to save money, but the convenience of the station. There are more than twenty houses here, as well as sheds for livestock.

After checking the badges and official documents, Yi Cheng let everyone in, and then led Qi Hao to the best room.

Although there are many houses here, the rooms are not big. As soon as you open the door, you can see everything inside. On the left side of the wall is a kang that can accommodate only two people, with two quilts on the top of the kang; a table and four chairs are placed in the middle of the room, and a washbasin shelf stands on the right, with a wooden basin on it.

Qi Hao nodded and said: "Go and get hot water, I want to take a bath." In the wild, there are no conditions, so he can only take a bath. When he arrives at the inn, he must take a bath, from head to toe.

The people below were busy quickly. There are those who boil water, and those who go to buy vegetables and prepare to cook. There are special cooks among their people, and they don't want the people in the inn to cook. This is also for the sake of safety, who knows whether the people at this inn are reliable.

After taking a shower, Qi Hao changed into clean cotton clothes, leaned on the kang and let Yu Zhi wipe his hair.

Yi Kun walked in and said, "Master Shi, the magistrate of Jiangxian County is asking to see you. Master Shi, see you or not?" The county seat is so big, and the news of the magistrate is delayed, and they should know about it half an hour later.

Qi Hao sighed: "Let him wait outside." He had to tidy up his appearance.

Qihao met the county magistrate, asked about the situation in Xiajiang County, and then let him go back after a few compliments.

Yi Kun was a little puzzled and asked, "Master Shi, just let him go?" He thought that Qi Hao would chat with the magistrate for a long time!

Qi Hao originally said no, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Then go out and have a look after you eat something!"

At this time, the food is ready. After Qi Hao finished eating, he said to Qi Hao, "Let's go outside and have a look." What others say is false, what they have seen with their own eyes is true.

Jiang County was just hit by a disaster. Not to mention the market, there were no people walking on the streets, and the officers who saw the most were the patrolling officials. After turning around, Qi Hao smiled and said, "Let's go back."

Yi Kun asked: "Master Shizi, don't we want to go to the grass hut area?" He just walked around the street and looked at the flowers, he could see something.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for too long." To see the lives of the victims, one should also go to Mianzhou. The top is well done, and the people below don't dare to fool.

It was getting dark, and Qi Hao didn't sleep, but was practicing calligraphy. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were naturally provided by the county magistrate.

Just as he was writing, he heard Yi Kun say that Lu Bai was back: "Master Shizi, how will the two children be accommodated?" They will leave the county town early tomorrow, and it is impossible to take the two children with them. People settle down.

Qi Hao shook his head lightly as he looked at the discarded words, his mood was so easily affected, it was too far from her mother's unchanging appearance.

Putting the brush down, Qi Hao said lightly, "I'll bring them here later, and I'll ask their intentions."

Yi Kun said: "Sir, I think this child is a talented person. Back then, the princess took in the brother and sister of the shopkeeper Tian Da, and now the shopkeeper Tian Da is in charge of the entire Jiangnan business for the princess." The annual income is quite considerable, and Yi Kun is the cloud Qing's guard leader knows a lot.

Tian Ju got married five years ago, and the person to marry was chosen by Tian Yang himself.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "I'm not the same as my mother." His mother was in a difficult situation back then. The reason why he used Tian Yang and his sisters was because there were useless people around him, and he didn't have any talents he wanted.

Seeing this, Yi Kun stopped talking.

After half an hour, Qi Hao was going to sleep, and neither of the two children had come. Qi Hao frowned and said, "Why haven't you come over for so long?"

I have to go to bed early today.

Yi Kun also found it strange: "I'll let someone go and have a look." He and Yu Zhi couldn't leave Qihao even at night, even at night.

After a while, Lu Bai-collared two children in.

Yi Kun looked at the two children who came in, in shock. The big one was dressed in lotus green clothes and had a two-ring bun. He was very handsome, but there was fear in his eyes. The little boy was dressed in bright green clothes and had a bun. His facial features were very delicate, his skin was very fair, and his long hair was black and shiny. The only downside was that he was too thin.

Qi Hao was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect to look away. It seems that his persistence is right, and it should be more. There is only Yu Zhi, and the spirit does not fluctuate in the slightest.

Yi Kun asked, "Lu Bai, did you make a mistake?" They brought back a man and a woman, but now standing in front of them are two girls, one big and one small.

Lu Bai touched the back of his head: "This child is disguised as a man." He was also surprised at the time.

Qi Hao became interested at this time and asked, "You said that you went to school at the age of five, is this true?"

Yin Kangle nodded and said, "I miss studying. My grandfather and father love me so much, so they let me disguise as a man and go to school to study." It was her misfortune to be a woman, but it was her luck to meet such an enlightened elder.

Qi Hao thought a lot and asked, "You said that you were enlightened at the age of three? So your grandfather and father and mother are also literate?" In rural areas, people who can read are highly respected.

Yin Kangle nodded and said, "My grandfather and father can read, but my mother can't." After a pause, Yin Kangle said, "My mother was reluctant at first, saying that it would be difficult for people to tell others that I would disguise myself as a woman in the future. Grandpa said that now The world is different, the princess and the princess are both heroes in women's middle school, so it's good for me to learn more." As for Grandpa's words that she would not be allowed to go to school after the age of ten, Yin Kangle didn't say anything.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Qi Hao's face. In his mind, Yuxi and Zaozao were unique.

Yin Kangle dragged her sister to kneel on the ground: "I beg Shizi, as long as Shizi can take in our sisters, I will be a cow and a horse for Shizi."

Not to mention the disaster now, even during the peace period, the two motherless girls couldn't live in peace, not to mention that Tiantian was so beautiful. But if you enter the palace, even if you are a slave and a maid, you can live safely.

Qi Hao was silent and said, "I don't leave useless people around me." If you want to stay by his side, you must not only have the ability, but also be useful to him. Not to mention a few companions, only that the maids around him have their own strengths.

Yin Kangle said immediately, "I know how to read and arithmetic." When she said this, she had no confidence. No way, literacy will count as learning, it's not really a specialty.

Qi Hao said with a chuckle, "The maid next to me, you can pick out any one and know how to read." The overall quality of those who can serve by Qi Hao's side is unquestionable.

Yin Kangle had beads of sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, Tian Tian, ​​who had been shrinking behind Yin Kangle and had been trying to reduce her presence, suddenly said, "Master Shizi, I can sing, and I can sing to Master Shizi."

What a specialty this is.

A smile appeared on the corner of Qihao's mouth: "Oh, can sing? Then sing a song to listen to it." This little girl's voice is very nice, just like an oriole.

Although the little girl was a little scared, but she was willing to stay in order to stay, and immediately sang a ballad to Qi Hao: "Fat baby is chubby, ride a horse to Furong, Furong City is best to play, radish stewed quack... "

After singing, the little girl looked at Qi Hao nervously, holding the sweat in her hand.

Because it was a folk song, Qi Hao didn't know what she was singing, but the child's voice was clear and melodious.

Qi Hao didn't give an answer, just let Lu Bai take the person down. When he was picked up by Lu Bai, Yin Kangle raised his voice and said, "Master Shi, I will also make up grasshoppers..." For her and her younger sister, she could only do her best.

The corners of Qi Hao's mouth twitched, what kind of specialty is grasshopper editing.

Seeing that Qihao didn't want to take them in, Xiao Tiantian burst into tears: "Master Shizi, I don't want to be sold to the kiln, please take us in!" In fact, how could such a small child know what a kiln is? Know that someone told her.

Yi Kun's face turned dark, and he said, "It's all messed up, take it down quickly." Saying these swear words didn't contaminate Shizi's ears.

Seeing that Yin Kangle was still trying to struggle, Lu Bai said, "If you want to entangle any more, you will be sent to the outside of the city immediately." Shi Ziye didn't say to send him away, but in fact there is still hope. But if you dare to make trouble, maybe you will send it away, the princess will be soft-hearted, but the prince will not.

As soon as the words fell, Yin Kangle closed his mouth and did not dare to ask again.

After the people left, Qi Hao said with a smile: "This little girl is a little interesting."

Yi Kun's thoughts at this meeting were completely different from those just now: "Master Shizi, this child is very courageous. If it is a boy, he may have a good future, but unfortunately..." Unfortunately, it is a girl, no matter how brave and knowledgeable it is, it is useless. ah!

"My mother and eldest sister are also women." Under the influence of Yuxi, Qihao did not despise women. As Oak-hee said, the most important thing is to learn how to employ people. Used correctly, women play a bigger role than men.

Yi Kun was in a cold sweat, how could he forget these two ancestors at once.

Qi Hao didn't care about Yi Kun's gaffe, and turned his head to look at Yu Zhi who had been silent for a while and said, "Do you know that Yin Kangle is a girl?" When the two children came in just now, Yu Zhi's face didn't even waver.

Yu Zhi said, "I can tell." Unless he was raised as a boy like Zaozao, and his behavior is no different from that of a boy, then he may have misunderstood. A girl like Yin Kangle can only be seen as a girl from her behavior.

Yi Kun was a little ashamed, no wonder the princess wanted Yu Zhi to follow him, he was really not careful in some aspects.

Qi Hao said: "Go and check the details of these two little girls. If there is no problem, send two people to take them to the palace." He will not send people back to the palace until he has checked the details of the people.

Yu Zhi responded and went out.

I opposed it before, but now I agree. The prince's actions are as unpredictable as the princess. Yi Kun was a little puzzled: "Why did the eldest son agree to take them in?"

Qi Hao smiled and said, "I think my mother will like this little girl." His mother likes this kind of self-improvement and courageous girl.

Yi Kun was stunned.

The next morning, Yu Zhi told Qi Hao what he had found. Yin Kangle's grandfather was a top three jinshi. These top three jinshis were worthless in the capital, and he had no one in the court. It took two years to get an eighth-rank county magistrate. The county chief returned to his hometown of Jiang County after less than two years of service.

Yu Zhisuo: "Although I don't know why I resigned and returned to my hometown, this Master Yin is clean and he is very affectionate with Mrs. Yin. Since Mrs. Yin passed away ten years ago, he has been living in the countryside with his single son. Eight years ago, And let the only son marry the daughter of the Hejia village."

"Then Master Yin and his son and daughter-in-law are gone?" Seeing Yu Zhi nodding, Qi Hao asked again, "What is the reputation of that little girl in the country?"

Yu Zhidao: "This Yin Kangle is the king of the village. He often fights with boys of the same age, but because his grandfather and father are protecting him, no one dares to do anything to her." In short, Yin Kangle is a tomboy.

Qi Hao didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Zaozao also often fights with people, and basically never loses.

"Is the Yin family clean?" Seeing Yu Zhi nodding, Qi Hao said, "Since there is no problem, then arrange for someone to send them to the palace." The guards around him would definitely not be able to leave the team and send them to Haocheng.

Yu Zhi said, "I've already made arrangements." Let him go to check the details of Yin's family, indicating that the prince means to accept the two people.

Yi Kun couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhi one more time.

Qi Hao didn't find it surprising, a person who could be trusted and reused by her mother behaved normally and thoughtfully.

After knowing this, Lu Bai said, "Master Shizi, shouldn't the two dogs be solved?" When Lu Bai was young, he was often bullied and oppressed by those scoundrels, so he hated this kind of scoundrel who bullied orphans the most. .

Qi Hao glanced at Lu Bai and said, "We will leave for Mianzhou in two quarters of an hour." It takes about two and a half days to travel from Jiang County to Mianzhou.

Lu Bai said cheerfully: "Two quarters of an hour is enough." He already knew the whereabouts of this person, so it doesn't take much time to solve this person.

Yin Kangle was overjoyed knowing that Qi Hao was willing to take them in. Although they are slaves and maids, they can at least survive, and the two sisters do not need to be separated.

Lu Bai touched Yin Kangle's head and said, "Don't be too happy, the palace has many rules. When you get there, you must restrain your temper and listen to your mother. Otherwise, the palace will not tolerate it." , that is, they also have many rules.

Yin Kangle was very grateful: "Thank you Uncle Lu."

Thinking about the Ergouzi, Lu Bai thought for a while and said, "That Ergouzi, you can tell me what you want to do with it." Lu Bai began to want to hand this person over to the government, but looking at the two children, he felt that he should Ask [UU Reading 00kxs] for their opinions.

"Really?" Seeing Lu Bai nodding, Yin Kangle said, "He sold Ah Hua and the others. Uncle Lu, you also sold him to such a harsh family." Yin Kangle felt that it had fallen into the hands of human traffickers. , generally does not end well.

She remembered Lu Bai's kindness to their sisters. Given the chance, she will surely repay. (To be continued)
