The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On the first day of June in the 13th year of Hongwu, it has been ten days since I returned to Peiping. During this period, Yan Wang Zhu Di summoned Cui Miao once. Zhu Di praised Cui Miao greatly. He not only killed the generals of the Yuan army, but also defended Shen Qing. The more Zhu Di looked at Cui Miao, the more satisfied he was , And promoted Cui Miao to a hundred households.Reward one hundred banknotes, ten bolts of cloth, and some grain.

Only then did Cui Miao learn that the cavalryman of the Yuan army in the crimson robe was actually a thousand households, and he was also a pioneer officer who was out of fire, so even if Zhu Di didn't say anything, as long as Mu Ying didn't greedy for merit and reported the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely criticize him. Reward for meritorious deeds.

Cui Miao thanked him a thousand times, her chest slapped, and she swears allegiance to death. This time, Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction, and Cui Miao also smiled with satisfaction.

Ever since Xue Lu heard about Cui Miao's injury from Ma Qiang, his brows hadn't been relaxed. Except for going to the toilet, he couldn't do it for him. Xue Lu never asked him to do any work. It was Xue Lu who managed it, which made Cui Miao both helpless and moved.

Apart from Xue Lu, it is probably Shen Qing who gave Cui Miao the most headache. After returning to the palace for ten days, Shen Qing called him to the Green Bamboo Garden every day. He went there early in the morning and returned in the evening. The food was delicious, but when he thought of the black Chinese medicine that gave off a strange smell after the meal, he suddenly didn't like eating anything.In fact, Cui Miao can bear all these, no matter how bad the medicine is, that is, the moment of suffering, the most unbearable thing for Cui Miao is that Shen Qing has no idea where he wants to teach him to play chess, for him who has intensive phobia , It is simply a kind of mental torture!

Woke up early this morning, Cui Miao didn't wait for Shen Qing to call someone to invite, and went out early in the morning. Before the expedition, she made an appointment with Lang Ping and five people to go outside the city to find old man Yao for advice on farming. After all, she had already missed the spring plowing. If it was later, This year's harvest is gone.

Although the trauma was almost healed, Cui Miao still didn't dare to ride a horse, and walked out of the city with Ma Qiang and five people. The five talked and laughed, and arrived at the destination - Wangzhuang without knowing it.

Under the guidance of Ma Qiang, a group of six people stopped in front of a small courtyard, surrounded by a wall of more than one meter, and everything in the courtyard could be seen from outside the wall.A thick locust tree was planted in the center of the small courtyard, and several hens were walking under the shade of the tree.

Ma Qiang turned to look at Cui Miao, and said, "Baihu, this is the home of Old Man Yao."

Cui Miao quickly waved her hands when she heard the words, and said, "Ma Xiaoqi, the appointment document hasn't been issued yet, so don't dare to shout, call me Zongqi."

Ma Qiang said with a nonchalant smile, "Your Highness has already spoken, it's only a matter of time before your lord takes office, why be so careful?"

Lang Ping said disapprovingly: "Old Matou, you don't understand the principle of 'Be careful sailing for thousands of years'? If you want to survive in the officialdom for a long time, you must be cautious, cautious in your words and deeds!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Cui Miao quickly said: "Okay, Lang Xiaoqi is right. If you are careful, you will never go wrong. Let's go, it's getting late, let's hurry up."

Everyone stood in front of the wooden fence less than one person high, and Ma Qiang raised his voice and called out: "Old Yaotou, is old Yaotou at home?"

After waiting for a while, the half-closed door was pulled open from the inside, and an old man with an old face appeared at the door, looked towards the courtyard door, and replied, "Here, here, who is it?"

"I, Ma Qiang, old Yaotou, open the door quickly, our lord has something to do with you."

Hearing the words, old man Yao quickly quickened his pace, came to the door, moved the wooden stick blocking the door, looked at the crowd in fear, bowed and said: "I see you, my lords."

Cui Miao quickly helped old man Yao up, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, old man, we are here to ask for advice, so don't bother me rashly, please don't blame the old man."

Old man Yao said quickly: "My lord is serious, please come in quickly, please come in!"

When everyone entered the yard, old man Yao hurriedly took a few stools from the house, and said embarrassingly, "My lords, forgive me, the family is poor and there are not many stools, so I can only squeeze a few people and sit on this bench. above."

Cui Miao said indifferently: "You don't need to be so polite, we are also from poor families, so we don't pay much attention to it. You sit down, old man. People often say that 'an old man is like a treasure'. If you live so long, you are a treasure." Bao, we should respect it."

After everyone was courteous, everyone took their seats. Cui Miao directly explained the purpose of coming. When the old man heard that they wanted to ask about farming, he couldn't help talking eloquently, which was completely different from the previous sincere fear.Cui Miao kept asking questions, old man Yao answered patiently, everyone listened carefully, before noon passed.

Suddenly a rumbling sound from the stomach interrupted Old Man Yao's words, and everyone couldn't help looking for the sound, only to see Chen Hu blushing and saying: "It's past noon, I'm hungry."

Everyone burst into laughter, old man Yao left everyone to eat at home, Cui Miao politely declined, and said: "Old man, although you have described it in detail, I have never practiced it, and I don't know how much I can remember. I hope that when I am farming, I can invite The old man is there to guide. Don't worry, the old man, I will reward you well after the plowing is over."

The old man Yao waved his hand and said, "My lord, I don't need any rewards. As long as the old man can help me, my lord will let me know."

Cui Miao and the old man Yao agreed on the time for farming, and left behind a banknote that was always the same, and brought everyone back to the city.In order to connect with each other, Cui Miao was the host. In a small tavern in the city, he ordered some food and wine, a large bowl of rice, and twenty pancakes. have fun.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and went away separately. When Cui Miao returned to the palace, it was past Shen Shi, and she saw a figure standing at the gate of the compound from a distance. When she walked in, she turned out to be Shen Qing. Some guilty conscience.He smiled mischievously and said, "Biaoxia has met Qianhu."

Shen Qing asked lightly: "Where did you go?"

Cui Miao replied: "Going back to Qianhu, I was so loved by the lord, I rewarded the bidder with [-] acres of farmland, but the bidder didn't know about farming, and I was afraid of disappointing the good intentions of the lord, so I asked someone who knew about farming to ask for advice. It was after noon. , I didn’t want to trouble others, so I turned around.”

"Ever had lunch?"

Cui Miao nodded honestly, and said, "Go back to Qianhu, I've already had lunch under the bid."

"Have you been drinking?"

Seeing Shen Qing frowning, Cui Miao quickly explained: "Biaoxia didn't drink alcohol, but Chen Hu accidentally spilled wine on him, so there was a slight smell of alcohol."

Shen Qing looked at Cui Miao silently for a while, and said, "Let's go."

Cui Miao subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"

"Today's medicine hasn't been taken yet." Shen Qing lowered his eyes, turned and left.

"Qianhu!" Cui Miao stopped Shen Qing, hesitated for a while, and said, "Qianhu, the wound under the mark is no longer serious, can the medicine be stopped?"

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't respond, Cui Miao explained cautiously: "Qianhu, the bid is to not waste medicinal materials, those medicinal materials should be reserved for those who need them more."

Cui Miao really missed the small modern pills, and he was afraid of the weird taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

"No!" Shen Qing suddenly turned around and looked at Cui Miao. His eyes were full of emotions that Cui Miao could not understand, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly recovered. He lowered his eyes and said lightly: "When will you recover? stop."

Seeing the back of Shen Qing leaving, Cui Miao was a little dazed, he always felt that Shen Qing seemed to be sad just now, but why, Cui Miao couldn't figure it out.After hesitating for a while, Cui Miao gritted her teeth and followed.

Chang An looked at Shen Qing, then at Cui Miao, a little confused, he didn't understand why Shen Qing cared so much about Cui Miao, but he seemed to understand why Shen Qing was sad.He followed Cui Miao in two or three steps, and said in a low voice: "Cui Zongqi, I dare to say a few words for Qianhu, you have indeed gone too far today."

Cui Miao was startled, and then asked, "How do you start?"

Chang An glanced at Shen Qing's back, and said in a low voice: "President Cui, you must at least inform me when you leave the house. You know that Qianhu hasn't had any rice since early morning. The medicine you drink has been heating on the stove. , Ao has cooked several pots, and Qianhu can drink it just because you come back, but what you said just now makes me feel sad when I hear it."

Cui Miao paused, looking at Shen Qing's straight back, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, now thinking about what she said just now, it seems that it was really too much.He muttered to himself: "Why do you do this? I did it just to repay your maintenance. You don't owe me anything!"

Seeing that Cui Miao didn't keep up, Shen Qing stopped, turned around and looked, Cui Miao was standing among the flowers, smiled brightly, and quickly walked a few steps to follow.Shen Qing lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and his footsteps seemed to be a little lighter.

Sitting at the dining table, Cui Miao looked at the two bowls of black Chinese medicine in front of him. He couldn't help but feel a little trembling. He took a deep breath, picked up the bowl, squeezed his nose and drank it down.After finishing the two bowls of medicine, his tongue was already numb.

Shen Qing got up and went out for a while, and when he came back, he held a small plate in his hand, put it in front of Cui Miao, and said lightly: "Hold it."

Shen Qing's physical fitness was not good when he was a child, and he was able to have a strong body today, which was completely regulated by traditional Chinese medicine, so Shen Qing had no feeling for drinking medicine. He subconsciously felt that Cui Miao should be the same as him, and before that, Cui Miao also never He didn't show any rejection of taking medicine, so Shen Qing didn't notice it at all.Cui Miao mentioned it today, and he just noticed Cui Miao's rejection of taking medicine. Just now, he asked Chang An to buy some candied fruit on the street.

The indescribable taste in his mouth made Cui Miao not in the mood to be pretentious. He pinched one and put it in his mouth. After chewing, the sweetness spread in his mouth instantly, dispelling the important and strange taste. After eating one, Cui Miao immediately took another one, and before she knew it, a small plate of candied fruit was eaten.

"Can you be more comfortable?"

Then Cui Miao said shyly, "Thank you Qianhu, it's much better."

"Why don't you tell me?"

Cui Miao was taken aback, and asked, "What?"

"I don't like the smell of medicine."

Cui Miao felt her old face turn red, and said embarrassingly, "Many people are sick and there is no cure, and the bidder really has no face to speak."

Shen Qing looked at Cui Miao seriously, "You don't have to be like this with me, we are friendship by fate."

Cui Miao said stupidly, "Oh, good."
