After the salted fish is married

Xiao Ling was arrested

Wu Zhu is a frail scholar, except for his knowledge, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he doesn't hear anything outside the window.For Ji Yin, he gave up everything and came to Chu Liao, what a courage.

Ji Yin was even worse, she was just a little girl who had just reached Ji.In modern times, a girl of her age still goes to school acting like a spoiled child at home with her parents, but she has already suffered a lot with the peace of the two countries on her back.

Wuzhu and the others brought eight followers with them when they set off from the Liaoxia King's Capital, but when they arrived in Liangzhou, there were only three left.From this we can see how difficult the journey is, and it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to survive to Liangzhou.

Fortunately, all the hardships are rewarding, and they finally don't have to hide.After eating a simple meal, Wu Zhu and his party were taken by the servants of the mansion to rest.The group of people were physically and mentally exhausted from running around for several days. After entering the room of the palace, they quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Yan Xining walked around the courtyard where these people lived and then returned to the main hall: "Rong Chuan, we need to find some maids." Ji Yin is a daughter, and the palace is full of clumsy servants, so there will inevitably be some inconvenience.

Ji Song nodded slightly: "Well, you can figure out what to do." He turned his head and looked out the window, his eyes dim.

Yan Xining hugged him from behind: "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"

Ji Song sighed, and rubbed his head against Aning's cheek: "It's not a problem, it's just that I feel panicked." For the fragile peace, the court sacrificed a little girl's happiness, it's ridiculous to say it.

According to the rules of Chu Liao, if the princess who is sent out for marriage escapes without permission, she will be expelled from the royal family.The royal family will not allow such a princess who tarnishes the dignity of the royal family to exist, so even if the princesses are in a bad life, they can only bite their teeth and swallow them alive.Since the establishment of the Chu Liao Dynasty, more than a dozen princesses have endured humiliation and died in foreign countries.Girls can't even control their own destiny, so how can they maintain peace between the two countries?

"As a son of Chu Liao and a member of the royal family, I watched Xiaoliu go to the fire pit, but there was nothing I could do. Aning, I hate this world where there is no right and wrong, and I hate the so-called overall situation."

Yan Xining hugged Ji Song tightly, and gently patted Ji Song's heart with his hand: "Rong Chuan, if you have a chance to change the world, you can do it boldly. It doesn't matter even if you poke a hole in the sky, I will accompany you." looking at you."

Ji Song's heart softened: "Yes."

Now not only the situation in Liaoxia is chaotic, but also the situation in Chu and Liao. The struggle for power among the princes is more intense than the dispute between the two countries.In contrast, the disappearance of a married princess is not a big deal.

Ji Song sent someone to inquire, but Liao Xia suppressed the news that the princess was missing.Thinking about it, now is the critical moment when the princes are vying for the throne. The princess that Dunba worked so hard to bring back was mainly lost, so he couldn't hold his head up in front of his two younger brothers.

Ji Yin and Wu Zhu lived in the palace, and after several days of intensive care, their bodies finally recovered.As soon as Wu Zhu recovered, he immediately came to look for Yan Xining.

As soon as he saw Wu Zhu, Yan Xining's scalp became numb, especially when he saw the booklet in Wu Zhu's hand, he thought of the fear of being dominated by the examination paper.

Yan Xining felt bitter, Wu Zhu was from Liaoxia in the past, no matter how troublesome he was, at least Wu Zhu didn't stay in the capital for long.It's all over now, he settled down in Liangzhou and became his brother-in-law.As soon as he thought of being caught by Wu Zhu doing the quiz every day in the future, he would have nothing to love.

However, Wu Zhu didn't come here for arithmetic problems. As soon as he saw Yan Xining, he went straight in: "Yan Xining, I want to find something to do."

Yan Xining:? ? ?

Isn't it enough to do the questions?Still looking for something?

When facing Yan Xining, Wu Zhu was always extraordinarily frank.He said seriously: "Thank you and King Rong for saving me. I've thought about it these days. I can't go back to Liaoxia anymore, and I can't reveal my previous identity. It's fine if I'm alone. Now I have Ah Yin, as a man, I always have to find a job to make a living."

When he left Liaoxia, Wu Zhu had some money with him, but after traveling all the way, the money was almost spent.Although Prince Rong's mansion would not cut short their food and drink, but as a man with self-respect, Uju did not allow himself to be justified and let others support him.

What's more, he wants to marry Ah Yin, and wants to have his own small family, so he can't always live in Prince Rong's Mansion.So after thinking about it, Uju felt that he urgently needed to find an errand to do.

However, he also knows that he has a bad temper, and he is not very good at other things except arithmetic.So he said sincerely: "I heard that you are recruiting people here, and I can calculate things. If you need to do arithmetic, you can let me do it."

Yan Xining stared at Wu Zhu for a moment, then he smiled: "I understand. Follow me."

There are a lot of errands in Pingchang City that require arithmetic talents. Take the North Commercial Street as an example. How many goods are sold on the street every day needs to be calculated and reviewed by a special person.Yan Xining felt that with Wu Zhu's ability, it was really overkill to be a small statistics official.

He has an errand that is more suitable for Uju, and this errand is close to home, pays a lot, and is not busy and has a sense of accomplishment.That is to be an official school's arithmetic teacher.

Almost all the courses offered by government schools today are teaching children to read and write, and there is nothing in the area of ​​arithmetic.If Uju can teach the children of Liangzhou to learn arithmetic, with his ability, he will surely bring out many excellent students.

Yan Xining had contact with Wu Zhu before, although Wu Zhu was not good at words most of the time, but when it came to arithmetic, he could quote from the classics.Listening to Wu Zhu's lecture was a very happy thing. At least in Yan Xining's opinion, he thought that Wu Zhu would be a very good math teacher.

Moreover, people like Uju can not only teach children to learn arithmetic, but also teach adults to learn.In today's Liangzhou, apart from wealthy families and officials who can read and write, there are not many ordinary people who can read and write, and even fewer can do arithmetic.

Yan Xining has already made arrangements for Wu Zhu: "The official school has a rest every five and ten days, and one or two arithmetic classes every day, one class lasts an hour, and you are free for the rest of the time. Now we in Liangzhou have a lot of waste. Xing, many civil servants have theories, if you have time, you can open a remedial class, and I will encourage Liangzhou officials to come to you to make up lessons..."

Wu Zhu was taken aback by Yan Xining, but he understood: "I understand, just let me teach people academically? It's easy." As a great Confucian scholar in Liaoxia, Wu Zhu's students spread all over the surrounding countries , he has rich teaching experience.

Immediately doing what he said, Yan Xining led Wu Zhu straight to the official school.It was time for the children to go to class, and the sound of reading aloud floated through the courtyard wall to the street.After entering the official school, Uju was very satisfied with the environment inside: "It's a good place."

Small is small, but full of the aroma of books, it is the environment and atmosphere he likes.But there is still an important question: Is Master's Shu Xiu high?

Wu Zhu hesitated and said: "It's fine if I'm alone, you know Ah Yin's identity. Although I can't let her live the previous life, I can't make her suffer."

Yan Xining was delighted when she heard it: "You come with me."

Under the blue sky and broad daylight, Yan Xining dragged Wu Zhuliang to squat on the long street outside the official school.These two hands are holding the lumps of soil and painting on the bluestone board.Yan Xining analyzed: "The monthly salary of being a teacher in a government school is [-] copper coins, and that's [-] year..."

Wu Zhu licked his chapped lips and said, "Six taels!"

You must know that the annual salary of the county magistrate in Pingchang City is only ten taels of silver, and six taels of silver for a teacher is already a lot.

Yan Xining nodded: "Yes, although these salaries are incomparable with your previous treatment, but the housing prices in Pingchang City are cheap and the prices are low. Six taels can buy three tile-roofed houses."

This is not over yet, Yan Xining continued to analyze: "If you give supplementary lessons to officials, one official charges two hundred copper coins, and Pingchang City's current officials, large and small, are several hundred, even if you can only give supplementary lessons to two hundred officials a year ..."

Wu Zhu's tone rose excitedly: "40 taels!" What is the concept of 40 taels, that is, 40 taels of silver, plus the income of being an official teacher, there are 46 taels of silver a year.

In less than two years, he will be able to buy a good house, and get together the dowry to marry Ah Yin... The dirt in Wu Zhu's hands is writing faster and faster, and the light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter.

The big fish took the bait, and Yan Xining frowned: "How is it? Would you like to be the official teacher?"

Wu Zhu suddenly raised his head: "Do it! Yan Xining, thank you. Not only did you save me, but you also found me such a good job." Such a good job is one of the best in the entire Pingchang City.

Wu Zhu knew very well that if it wasn't for Yan Xining, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.So he touched his pocket: "To express my gratitude, I will treat you to ice cream."

Yan Xining loves to eat ice cream, whenever he comes to him with arithmetic problems when he is in the capital, he will always take himself to a small shop to order a pot of ice cream.However, there is no ice cream in Liangzhou this season, so Wu Zhu changed his words: "Let's eat almond milk."

Yan Xining threw away the lump in her hand, and her guilty conscience was quickly replaced by excitement: "Don't eat almond milk for now, without further ado, let's go to the prince and ask him to give you the Liangzhou household registration and the eligibility to enter the official school. "

Wu Zhu was in trouble, so he took advantage of him. If he was still the famous Confucian, the conditions offered by the Imperial College would be several times higher than what he offered.

Yan Xining grinned happily, listening to the sound of children reading in the courtyard, he was in a good mood.He got up and thought for a while: "The prince should be on the side of North Street at this point, shall we go together?"

Wu Zhu nodded seriously, and said seriously, "Yan Xining, you are so kind to me, I will repay you."

Yan Xining's body trembled and his back went numb. At this moment, he had hallucinations. He clearly saw Wu Zhu holding a stack of books and handing them to him: "Come on, let's do the questions together."

He couldn't help shivering, and then he broke into a smile: "If you marry Ah Yin, we are a family. If a family doesn't speak two different languages, I don't need your thanks. As long as you can teach the children to count well, it will be It is the greatest reward for Ji Song and me."

Wu Zhu turned his head to look at the high walls of the official academy, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will pass on what I have learned all my life to them."

When walking towards North Street, Wu Zhu was a little annoyed: "Yan Xining, what do you think I should be called?" In order to avoid suspicion, it is best to change my name.

Yan Xining thought it didn't matter: "Chu Liao is so big, there are so many people with the same name and surname. Besides, the Wu surname is also one of hundreds of surnames, and you should be more than one person named Wu Zhu." As long as Ji Song stays in Liangzhou for a day, there shouldn't be any. Someone came to check Uju's identity.

Wu Zhu was a little uneasy: "If you are not afraid of [-], you should be more cautious."

Yan Xining scratched her cheek: "That's fine, why don't you ask the prince for his opinion later?" Ji Song is familiar with Liangzhou, and it's not difficult to establish an identity for Wu Zhu based on his contacts.

Only then did Wu Zhu feel relieved: "It's fine." Anyway, the name is just a title, and it's fine if you get used to it.

Just as the two were walking along the long street, Yan Xining heard a gasp of "haha" coming from behind.Turning his head, he saw Xiaosong squinting and following behind him.Yan Xining was overjoyed: "Xiao Song, when did you follow me?"

Xiaosong's big fluffy tail wagged out an afterimage, and it put its big head in Yan Xining's hand, begging to stroke it.Yan Xining rubbed its head: "Be careful you slip out and get caught."

Xiao Song shouted happily, and then ran ahead quickly.Yan Xining knew that it took her to find Ji Song.

Yan Xining pointed to Xiao Song and said to Wu Zhu, "Follow Xiao Song and you will find Rong Chuan."

Wu Zhu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This dog is so smart?" Yan Xining boasted: "Yes, Xiao Song has been smart since he was a child." When he was a puppy, he knew how to watch the house.

As Yan Xining said, under the leadership of Xiao Song, he quickly found Ji Song.

Knowing the purpose of Wu Zhu's visit, Ji Song took out two identity documents from his sleeve.Looking through the document, Wu Zhu's name is Wu Chengzhu, and Ji Yin is Ji Ying from Jijia Village, Rongchang County.

Ji Song said slowly: "I have a subordinate named Wu Chengkai, and there is no one in his family anymore. You don't mind if I arrange you to be part of his family?"

Wu Zhu looked at the two identity documents again and again, his eyes gradually became moist.Hearing what Ji Song said, he quickly turned around, raised his sleeve and pressed the corners of his eyes.Then he turned his head and expressed gratitude: "Thank you, my lord!"

Ji Song said softly: "You're welcome, I'll greet you at the official school, and you can teach well there. I'll help you look out for a suitable house, and when the conditions are ripe, you can come to the house to propose marriage."

Wu Zhu's throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he looked at Yan Xining gratefully.Today's joy is really thanks to Yan Xining, if he hadn't made friends with Yan Xining, he and A Yin would have died.

He obviously had so many disciples, but when something happened, it was Yan Xining, who had not been in contact with him for a long time, who extended a helping hand.Of course, there is also a reason for Ah Yin that they are willing to help.But he believed that if he was the only one in trouble, Yan Xining and his wife would still help him.

When Wu Zhu was full of emotions, Ji Song was talking about today's interesting things with Yan Xining: "Today there is a caravan from Persia. I heard that there are many new things. Do you want to go and see?"

Persia?That was truly exotic.Yan Xining's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's go together."

Ji Song was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, Ah Ning, I still have some things to deal with here."

Yan Xining understood: "It's okay, it's okay, Wu Zhu and I...Wu Chengzhu will go and have a look first."

With the intensive construction of the Pingchang City government, two long streets have been opened on North Street today.When North Street first opened, many people thought that there would not be too many caravans coming. However, after a period of time, the caravans crowded the long street, and some of them could not even squeeze in and had to set up stalls on other streets. .

The people nearby also transported their own agricultural products to North Street. Standing on the street and looking around, they can see people walking shoulder to shoulder, and there are a variety of commodities.Shouting and hawking were heard endlessly, and Yan Xining felt dazzled after turning around.

Wu Chengzhu was amazed: "These two streets alone are more lively than the capital city." Wu Chengzhu has walked through many places, and there are not many streets as lively as North Street.

Yan Xining smiled and said, "It's not finished yet. It will be better when it's finished." In the blueprint planned by him and Ji Song, Pingchang City North Street has to be expanded, and by then the largest trade complex in the entire Liangzhou area will be built. city.Here you can buy special products from all over the country and meet all kinds of people.

Wu Chengzhu was full of praise: "It's already very good, and it's very safe here." If it was any other place, there must be thieves on such a lively street, and he has not heard any quarrels caused by missing things until now. Voice.

In the early stage of the construction of the bazaar, Yan Xining and the others took public security into consideration.Ji Song is a person who can't get the sand out of his eyes. He doesn't allow the market he built with hard work to have dark things, so every ten feet, he will see Chi Ling soldiers in armor standing guard.

If anyone who does not obey the rules is found, they will be punished in the street at least, and their heads will be lost at worst.Although the method is a bit drastic, the effect is excellent.There are soldiers guarding, and even the caravan has a lot of rules.

The Persian caravan lived in Wanbao Building on North Street, and they set up a stall near Wanbao Building.Before getting close to the stall, Yan Xining heard the sound of exotic musical instruments.The stall was full of people, and everyone was enthusiastic, as if they were buying something.

At this time, a blond Persian boy walked up to the two of them with a clay pot in his hand. He introduced in his half-baked Chu-Liao language: "Welcome to taste our dates—our dates are sweet and cheap!"

As he spoke, he took out two dates from the jar and handed them to Yan Xining and Wu Zhu. In modern times, Yan Xining had only seen dates on TV, but had never eaten them in real life.He took the date palm with a smile. The date palm in front of him had been cut off, only the size of a fingernail.

The date palm has a hard texture, dark red skin, and a white layer on it, which looks like dust.However, Yan Xining has seen the introduction of dates before, and heard that dates are a kind of fruit with high sweetness, and a layer of icing sugar will appear on the surface after natural drying.

Throwing half a date palm into his mouth and chewing carefully, the flesh on the outer layer of the date palm is soft and rustling, a bit like the candied dates he has eaten before, and it has more milky taste than the candied dates.The thick sweet taste permeated the entire mouth, and he was a little stunned for a while.

He lives in the palace without worrying about food and drink, so he doesn't have much demand for sweets.But for the people of Liangzhou, such sweet things are quite rare.In addition, a catty of dates only costs [-] copper coins. Although it is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary fruits, one date can last for a long time, and it is good to buy some to coax the children.

After Wu Chengzhu ate half a jujube, he made up his mind: "A Yin should like this taste, I'll go buy some."

Yan Xining nodded with a smile: "Okay, you can go." He didn't want to join in the fun. There are too many sweet fruits in Zhuangzi this season, and dates don't have much attraction for him.

Seeing Wu Chengzhu trying to squeeze into the crowd, he felt a little emotional.Who could have seen that the dull man could change so much for Ji Yin?One of them is the aloof princess of Chu Liao, and the other is a world-renowned master of arithmetic. If there is no marriage, they will never meet in their lifetime.

However, fate is so magical that these two people miraculously saw each other.Just like him and Ji Song, if it wasn't for the substitute marriage, he and Ji Song wouldn't be where they are today.

Seeing that the master ate something delicious, Xiao Song became a little anxious, and wanted to taste everything the master ate.So it rubbed against Yan Xining's thigh with its body, humming in its mouth.

Yan Xining patted its head and said solemnly: "Puppy can't eat sweets, it will cause stomach pain." Xiao Song's body tilted on the ground and his feet were in the air, and he beeped louder. Isn't this bullying the dog?

At this moment, a tall man passed by Yan Xining's side.Since the opening of North Street, he can often see all kinds of people on the street, including many tall and tall ethnic minorities.

Yan Xining didn't take this person seriously at first, but Xiao Song, who was still begging for food just now, got up all at once.It whimpered softly at the person who just walked past, it bared its teeth with a hideous face, and all the hair on its neck exploded.

Xiao Song is an optimistic dog, he rarely sees it like this.Yan Xining looked over suspiciously, what's wrong with this person?

This man was wearing a veiled hat and a cloak and was carrying a long thing wrapped in black cloth on his back. Horses were not allowed on North Street, so he was leading the horse and walking eastward.There were several cloth bags on the horses, the most conspicuous of which looked like a bird cage covered with black cloth.

There are many people like this on North Street, but no one has ever caused Xiaosong to be so abnormal when passing by him.In addition, he lost Blue Wind recently, so he couldn't help but look at the cage a few more times.Cang Feng's body is big, and ordinary bird cages can't fit it, but this man's cage can easily fit Cang Feng.

Yan Xining's expression froze, he stepped forward quickly, and while the man was not paying attention, he lifted the black cloth from the birdcage.In an instant, he could see the almost pure white Haidongqing in the cage. The pattern on Haidongqing's neck was very conspicuous like a necklace.

It's Blue Wind!

The movement behind him caused the person to turn his head, and the moment the two eyes met, Yan Xining saw a pair of shocked eyes.There is a bean-sized mole on the left eyelid of this pair of eyes.

All the hairs on Yan Xining's back stood up. He had heard from Yan Ke that Xiao Ling had a mole on his left eyelid.In an instant, he understood the identity of this person, he must be Xiao Ling!

It was too late and then soon, Yan Xining's face was concentrating and he shouted at the Chi Ling Army soldiers next to him: "Take him down!" At the same time, he grabbed the cage that locked Cangfeng: "Where can I escape!"

Xiao Ling turned pale with fright, and in a panic, he kicked Yan Xining's chest.

Xiao Ling is a general, and a general with supernatural power. If his kick falls on Yan Xining, Yan Xining will either die or be injured.At the critical moment, Yan Xining remembered the trick to save his life that the guards taught him, and he stepped back suddenly with both feet.

Xiao Ling's feet swept across his chest with great force, and the strong wind made the hairs on his neck count down, and he was covered in cold sweat for a while.

Xiao Ling didn't care about fighting, seeing Yan Xining let go of Cang Feng's cage, he got on his horse and wanted to gallop.However, the next moment his ass was in sharp pain, and then the horse under him raised its front hooves and neighed in pain.Looking back, I saw a small iron arrow on both his butt and the horse's butt.

The iron arrow sank deeply into the body, and the pain was excruciating.If the arrow landed on an important part, Xiao Ling's life would be gone.The horse was also severely injured, let alone galloping the horse at this time, the horse didn't listen to him at all!

In an instant Xiao Ling lost his advantage, and the next moment he was pulled off his horse by the soldiers of Chi Ling Army and knocked to the ground.

Yan Xining slowly put down his right hand, and the long robe covered the sleeve arrow on his arm: "Take it back."
