Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

Let's say that Liufu and Jing Xi in Baidi City went to the Supervisor Zhongxing Temple.Reconstruction of the temple is a big project, and the number of migrant workers summoned at the moment is limited, so Liu Fu and Jing Ling discuss countermeasures.It turns out that Sichuan and Chongqing are sparsely populated, and the population reported to the imperial court is only [-] to [-], and a large area of ​​land is barren. Baidi is considered a densely populated area, and the residents in the city are much less than other state capitals.Thirty percent of the people in the official family are officers and soldiers dispatched from the capital and other places, and most of them are related to the palace.

Due to the lack of labor force, the number of craftsmen nearby was far from the required number. Liu Fu thought that there were not many casual workers in the city, and wondered whether it would be better to call some farmers outside the city or send some officers and soldiers to repair the ancestral hall.

Liu Fu and Jing Xi discussed for a long time after the on-site investigation, and they thought it was not appropriate to transfer officers and soldiers because it involved too much.It would be against the ancestral system to randomly deploy officers and soldiers to monitor the fiefdom princes, and it would be easy to fall into disrepute, and it would be difficult to dispatch these officers and soldiers without His Majesty's permission.After the two made up their minds, they planned to go outside the city to recruit some farmers to work in the city.

Liu Fu exempted Jing Xi from accompanying him, and walked back to the palace with a few attendants.Few people in Baidi recognized Liufu, unlike in the capital there are many Rongjin who come out to guard people from time to time, and it is difficult to drive them away when they meet, otherwise they will appear immodest and damage the face of the royal family, but it is inconvenient to let them follow. Because of the people's sentiments, I had to try my best to avoid them.

These days, Liu Fu walked back and forth on the street, only a few people looked at Liu Fu's beautiful appearance, and took a second look, but no one stopped to watch, Liu Fu felt uneasy, and walked openly The streets and alleys made him abandon his chariot and horse for many days.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Fu was returning home from Zhongxing Temple today, he met a group of women blocking the alley near the palace, Liu Fu was startled, thinking that some family's scarves were coming along the wind.

Most of the princes in the vassal land have no real power, and they are the targets of the court, so they are not allowed to set up private soldiers.The officers and soldiers of the Supervisory Bureau in the mansion change their defenses in the outer courtyard every day, and they will never be dispatched unless the palace is attacked.Officers and soldiers do not participate in the affairs of the palace, nor are they dispatched by the palace. Only some attendants can be mobilized in the palace.So there was no one to drive away the messy people outside, and some who couldn't stay still simply came out of the alley, moved a few chairs and sat at the gate of the palace, eating melon seeds and chatting.

Liu Fu wanted to sneak into the mansion through the side door, but it was more inconvenient to go through the alley, so he thought about it and quickly entered through the gate.A few attendants surrounded Liu Fu and passed by a few women who were in the Dragon Gate Formation. When the women saw Liu Fu, they all listened to the movements of their mouths and stared at Liu Fu.

"Bang, ye, prop, you want what you want."

"Well behaved, I wish we could have a good time with each other."

"Ba Shi is miserable old man, kidnapped, I can't bear it."

Those girls chattered non-stop, and the attendant Yao Ke glanced at them and muttered, "Suo Yezi, what are you doing messing about?"

Liu Fu heard the indescribable kindness in this dialect, saw those women surrounded him and praised him for his good looks, blushed a little, nodded with a smile, passed through the crowd and went up the steps.

Someone shouted from behind: "God rubs, the water collapses, you know whoever danced to death?"

"I don't know!" Yao Ke turned around and said.

"Tricking things up, pretending to be reckless." The woman curled her lips and wiped the melon seeds from her mouth.

Liu Fu entered the mansion, and said to Yao Ke, "Are they looking for someone?"

Yao Ke replied: "Go back to the lord, they are looking for someone who runs the rivers and lakes. It seems that this battle is probably looking for the little fairy, Mr. Si."

"Look at him, I didn't expect so many girls to favor him." Liu Fu said with a smile.

"Going back to the prince, they are all prostitutes. They are blocking the gate of the palace in broad daylight because they heard the wind saying that Mr. Si is here, and they insist on seeing him."

"What's the reason for this?"

"Damn, it's all a low-level business. When Mr. Si was down and out, he went to the Goulan Opera House and coached a few singers. Recently, they have become prosperous one after another. Now these businesses are not easy to do. I heard that Mr. Si is in the palace. The girl in the nearby Goulan courtyard is also idle, so she ran over to ask him for advice."

Liu Fu heard that this was the reason, so he wandered outside 44 Xiang's bedroom, and casually asked the boy next to him where 44 Xiang had gone.The boy said, Mister Si hasn't gotten up yet.Liu Fu looked up at the sun, it was past noon, and the boy was still sleeping soundly.Liu Fu shook his head, and went back to his dormitory with his hands behind his back.

Liu Fu went back to his own room to prepare dinner, Yao Ke went to the room to see how the medicine was cooking when it was almost time, the little girl said that the charcoal was not enough, Yao Ke asked her to continue cooking, and went out of the yard by himself Outer collar.

44Xiang's small courtyard is next to the Liufu courtyard. There is only one main house, which is not big, but it is enough to live in the rivers and lakes.Yaoke passed by the courtyard gate, just in time to see Elephant 44 getting up, standing in the courtyard twisting his neck and waist.Yao Kexin said that he was practicing some magical skills again, but he was ready to leave without answering.

44 Elephant saw Yao Ke and snapped his fingers twice. Yao Ke turned his head and looked at 44 Elephant, so he stopped at the door and struck a thousand. 44 Xiang beckoned him to come in, and Yao Ke reluctantly entered the courtyard.

44 Seeing that Yao Ke was speechless, Xiang said, "Hey, you're not happy about calling you here. I haven't moved the two pieces of glutinous rice cakes for breakfast. I'll keep them for you."

"What if I follow the second master to starve to death, what's the matter?" Yao Ke waved his hand.

"It's so domineering, our young lady is different, come, come, have a cup of tea before leaving." 44 Xiang grabbed Yao Ke's hand and went into the house.

"I have something to do at the top of the house, let's open it." Yaoke gave a "tsk" and pushed twice but failed to push it away, so he had to follow 44 Xiang into the house.

44 Xiang opened the door, stretched out his hand in front of Yao Ke, and said solemnly, "Give me the things."

"Do you want to be a Sazi?"

"Don't pretend to be with me, I'll give you three numbers, and give me the things quickly."

"I, I don't know, you are going to fuck!"

Yaoke backed away step by step, 44 seemed to push him against the wall, and his hand followed his clothes to dig inside.Yao Ke was cornered by the 44 bishops, he quickly waved his hand and told the 44 bishops not to grab it.

Yao Ke took out a bag of things from his bosom and wrapped it three layers inside and three layers outside. 44Xiang opened the paper bag, spread the powder inside in front of Yaoke and asked, "I've ordered you not to give this kind of thing to the second master, you don't want to die!"

Yaoke was embarrassed and embarrassed, and said for a long time: "Oh, it's very uncomfortable for us to see the second master. I discussed it with those in the capital. Why don't you prepare it on your body? I just got it. When the time comes, the second master can still use this as a substitute. Hey, we are not greedy for wealth and honor, but for the sake of the master."

"You talk about this, let me tell you, if you dare to give this to the second master, you will die, and others will find ways to pinpoint your fault, and you will send it up."

44 As he spoke, he poured the powder into a jar that had been prepared in advance. The jar had already been filled with lime. He scooped up a ladle of face wash water and poured it in, and the jar immediately started to react.

"Hey, this is precious, don't waste it!"

"Bah, is it worth the second master's body? Is it worth your own life? The colleagues around you have their own ghosts. Either they expect you to come out and hide behind them to reap benefits, or they are spying on the palace. It’s just that I’m expecting you to make mistakes so that I can replace you. You’re a fool to criticize you!”

"I don't know, besides, it's really expensive, Mr. Si, why don't you pay the villain?" Yao Ke squeezed out an embarrassed smile.

"Here, that's it." As he spoke, 44 Xiang gave the two glutinous rice cakes held by the square scarf to Yaoke, and said: "You have a snack, don't be tricked by others, give this harmful medicine to the front, the second master If something happens over there, you have to be the first to lose your head and see who is around, my God."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Yaoke nodded, took the two glutinous rice cakes in 44 Xiang's hands, put them in his mouth, and went out of the yard to get the charcoal fire.

People in the capital heard that the dishes here were all spicy before they arrived here, so when they arrived, the attendants told the kitchen not to prepare spicy dishes, Prince Xuan was not used to these.Unexpectedly, most of the dishes in the kitchen are non-spicy. The chef has learned traditional Sichuan-Chongqing cuisine and combined with Wangfuli's recipes. The dishes are mellow and delicious despite the tedious process.

Liu Fu sandwiched some hibiscus meat loaf, looking at the red sauce with a slightly crystal-clear color, he thought it should be sauce-flavored, but when he put it in his mouth, he found it was sweet, boiled with brown sugar.Although Liu Fu likes to eat sweets on weekdays, he is not used to sweet meat dishes, so he stops eating after one bite.So Liufu took another piece of salt and pepper liver roll, which was crispy and delicious, but he couldn't eat it after two bites, so he picked a few slices of sweet potato mats under the steamed pig bones, and finally ate some sunflower vegetables. Even if it's over.

After a full night's sleep, Liu Fu went to the yard next door to 44 Xiang, but he didn't meet him again. The servants said that Mr. Si had gone to the kitchen.Liu Fu went all the way to the kitchen, and when he stood at the door, he heard the sound of clay pots falling inside.

"What are you doing, Mr. Si? I'm afraid the house will be demolished." The servant pushed open the kitchen door, and Liu Fu joked at the door.

"Isn't this greedy? I want to eat Hechuan pork slices. I haven't found anyone who can cook this after I've been here for a year. Coincidentally, this master chef knows how to do it. Come and help me as soon as possible." 44 Xiang soaked his hands in a large Stirring back and forth in the earthen basin, a jar of cassava flour was smashed on the ground, and the girl who was burning the fire lay down on the ground to clean it up.

"It's all right, I'll clean it up later." 44 Xiang said to the girl.The girl lowered her head and did not speak, but continued to be busy with the work in hand.Liu Fu pointed to the ground, Yaoke bent over and went up to help the girl clean up, and even walked to the side of 44 elephant and stepped on him.

"Si, tomorrow the king will go out of the city to the countryside, you should go with me."

44 Elephant's hand stopped for a moment, and said: "Okay, no problem." Then he continued to stir the things in his hand.
