"Mostly this matter works from top to bottom." Song Zhi thought for a while, "The king of Jing may like women who are obedient and obedient, and requires loyalty, but the officials below him are like the ancient "King of Chu is so thin waisted", and they also demand women in the same way. Further down, the aristocratic families and scholars all demand women, and women have no power and power and cannot resist, resulting in the current situation where everyone despises women."

Ji praised and said, "That's right. You're smart enough to think of this." She changed the subject again, "King Jing wiped out the country and restored Jingzhou. The governor of Jingzhou is happy to see the success of this situation, so of course he will follow suit."

Song Zhi sighed, really powerless to deal with this situation.

Chapter 43 Taking Xinye

Soon, under Ji and Song Zhi's hard and soft tactics, the bartender cleared the room and let Ji, Song Zhi and others go upstairs for dinner.Ji took a seat first, and Song Zhi sat down next to her. The bartender served wine and food, and politely explained: "This is our famous local plum blossom wine. It's just in season. I'll give you a plate of green plums, and the dishes will be served immediately. Come on, please wait a moment, young lady."

Ji snorted, and the bartender retreated awkwardly.Song Zhi casually picked up a pickled green plum, and put it in his mouth, the sour taste immediately burst in his mouth, the sweetness of the soaked honey enveloped the taste buds, the sweet and sour alternated, and the frozen cold air softened the teeth.With each bite, the sweet and sour plum juice seeped into the mouth, and Song Zhi, who was too late to react, spit out the core in surprise and swallowed the plum meat in his mouth.

"This is so delicious!" Song Zhi sighed, "I haven't eaten this for a long time."

The green plums in Luoyang are probably also pickled with salt, or they are normal without adding anything.The sweet plums in the south are still delicious. Before she was reborn, she dismissed this kind of thing, but now she craves it very much.

"Their sour plums in honey sauce are not the best." Ji is used to eating southern food and is not interested in these. "Our state-owned tofu in Changsha is the best, tender and delicious, and white as jade."

Song Zhi hadn't tasted ancient tofu yet, so he hurriedly said, "If you have a chance, you must go to Changsha to taste the local delicacies!"

"Okay, welcome!" Ji nodded.

After having a full meal in the wine shop, Song Zhi paid the money generously after tasting the famous local delicacies in Jiangling.Ji was not happy that Song Zhi wouldn't let her pay the bill. To Ji, an authentic Jingchu native, Song Zhi is a guest, and she is the host. How can a guest pay for the meal with the host?But Song Zhi said that she could go to Changsha to eat and drink with peace of mind only after she was asked to pay, which is called "reciprocity".

After hearing this, Ji had no choice but to give up, and told her repeatedly that she must come to find her when she came to Changsha.

After parting with Ji, Song Zhi found a guesthouse in the south of the city with his burden on his back, paid a deposit for a room, and ordered someone to bring water to her.

After checking whether the environment is safe and whether there is any place to peep, she waited for the hot water to be delivered to her room, then she locked the door and soaked comfortably in the bathtub.

After half a month of exhaustion and fear, after arriving in Jiangling County, she finally felt at ease.Unless this inn is a human butler shop opened by Sun Erniang in "Water Margin", otherwise she will hardly encounter any disasters in Jiangling.

Seeing that the knife wound on her body had scabbed over, she didn't dare to touch the water too much. After washing and changing into pajamas, her eyelids became dizzy, and she lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up the next day, she found that she had a fever and couldn't help feeling a headache.I am not acclimatized to the environment, or my mind is tense for a long time, and I suddenly relax. In short, I suddenly have a fever in the middle of the night.

She reluctantly opened the door and called the maid who came to the guest house, and asked him to call for a doctor. After the doctor came, he took her pulse and said that she was depressed, panicked, and that she was too tired to acclimatize to the weather. With a heavy tone and a serious face, Song Zhi thought it was terminally ill.He took a lot of money to send the doctor away, and then asked the maid in the guest house to fetch medicine and decoct it for her. After eating and drinking the medicine, she continued to lie down and sleep, and the fever did not subside until the next day.

In this way, she was too weak to take good care of her body, and after she was going to report to the county magistrate's mansion, she would find a way to raise money to buy a small house outside the city.

After resting for a day, she changed into men's clothes on the third day and went to the county magistrate's office with the documents to go through the formalities.The county magistrate was not there, only the county magistrate was there, he didn't know Song Zhi, and he didn't know that the court sent such a person to Jiangling, which was unprecedented in ancient times.However, he knew that Song Zhi was the son-in-law of the Song family, and he was once the prefect of Yingchuan.

Logically speaking, since it was allotment, Song Zhi should be allowed to do hard work, repair the city wall, or do chores.But I don't know if Song Zhi's character has finally exploded, the previous bad luck has gone, and good luck has come, this county magistrate is actually a former student of the Song family.In fact, it doesn’t count as a former official of a disciple. His sponsor was an introductory disciple who had studied under Song Qian’s sect, and he was favored by that host to enter an official career, so these crutches and crutches are considered to be related to the Song family. .Among the disciples of the Song family purged by the imperial court, he was pardoned for being too distant, and his status was not even considered as a small shrimp.

When he heard that Song Fang himself had come, the county magistrate not only didn't make things difficult, but also treated Song Zhi like a guest.He hooked up the documents and put them back in the file, then called the thief Cao, and picked someone from prison to repair the city wall for Song Zhi.Song Zhi was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and thanked the county magistrate again and again.

The county magistrate wiped away tears, held Song Zhi's hand, filled with emotion, and asked Song Zhi to come to him directly if he had anything to do in Jiangling.

After Song Zhi was sent out of the county magistrate's mansion by the county magistrate's hand, he put away his grateful expression and looked up at the county magistrate's mansion without any emotion in his heart.If it was changed to before, she might indeed be moved, but she has experienced so much, and she has doubts about the kindness of people to some extent.These people are all wearing masks. If there is any etiquette, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness, why did the people who were attached to the Song family immediately collapse and disperse when the Song family fell?

She walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the lively crowd, but felt extremely lonely.At this time, she thought of Princess Xianning who was far away in Luoyang, and on the second day of the Double Ninth Festival, Princess Xianning treated her directly and used her very directly. She was able to escape the vortex of struggle in Luoyang, and she was really grateful Princess Xianning.

"Forget it, let's think about how to earn money and settle down." Song Zhi shook his head, trying to get rid of the figure of Princess Xianning in his mind.

Walking in front of the stalls, Song Zhi had the idea of ​​going shopping, and began to look around at the stalls in Jiangling.I bought some snacks with the money I had on my body, wandered around the city a few times, and remembered some important things in my heart. I couldn't hold it anymore and went back to the inn to rest.

Just when she finished shopping, Xinye County, located north of Jiangling, ushered in a group of unexpected and unexpected guests.Xinye County belonged to the State of Deng in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, belonged to the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was occupied by South Korea during the Warring States Period. It belonged to Rang County, Nanyang County in the Qin Dynasty.In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, it was established as a county, first named Xinye, belonging to Nanyang County, and then Qingyang County.Henkel was placed behind Xindu County, with Jiunvcheng as the county government, and it was under the jurisdiction of Nanyang County.In the first year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the new capital was abolished and entered Xinye County.

Xinye is adjacent to Nanyang and Luoyang in the north, and Jingmen and Xiangyang in the south.From Xinye, you can go south to Jingzhou, and go north to Luoyang.Any military and political important place must be prosperous.

A simple and unpretentious carriage surrounded by a group of majestic soldiers entered the gate of Xinye County, and went straight to the direction of the county government in a low-key manner.The common people are used to seeing elite soldiers, so they couldn't help but take a second look at this army that didn't play the banner like a private soldier, and then went their own way without any delay.

Although the world is full of chaos and people, the court is still the court. As long as those chaotic officials and thieves don't spread to Xinye, even if they bring tens of thousands of elite soldiers into the city, it's nothing to do with them.

The carriage entered from the north gate and turned to the east of the city. The team was neat and silent, all dressed in black armor, with expressionless faces.When they arrived at the county government, the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and others opened the middle door. The county magistrate personally bowed down the street to greet him, and bowed deeply to the carriage with his hands clasped.

The general who had accepted the county magistrate's salutation on horseback calmly got off his horse, went to the county magistrate to help him up, and said in a low voice, "There are too many people here, so it's not suitable to talk. Please Liang Xinye find a secluded place."

"Here!" The county magistrate surnamed Liang stood up straight, led the carriage and the general into the county mansion, and went straight into the backyard.

In the backyard, the general ordered everyone to be surrounded: "Come on! Take Liang Xinye down!"
