The prince went south and the journey was vast. It was a month in a blink of an eye, and it was still safe and sound.

Xiao Ren's heart that had been hanging since leaving the capital was finally let go. This day came to Qingxu. Qingxu was just a small town. The reason why Zhou Zheng wanted to settle in Qingxu was because of the news he received a few days ago.

The Qingxu official belonged to Jiaoyang County, and above Jiaoyang County was Jiaoyang Prefecture. Therefore, the government office and county office were both in Jiaoyang City.

Jiaoyang is the only place for the prince to go south. Therefore, when the prince came out of the capital, the prefect of Jiaoyang ordered the overhaul of civil engineering to be the prince's administrative office.

In fact, since leaving the capital, Zhou Zheng has ordered that he should not disturb the local governments as much as possible. He wants to see what he wants to see, not what others see.

But things in the world often fail to go well.

Zhou Zheng is the crown prince and the crown prince, not to mention that he is not alone, but is led by a large number of officials and a large group of people. It is impossible not to disturb the local government.

Therefore, everywhere along the way, there were crowds of flowers and flowers. In desperation, Zhou Zheng had to send someone out to check in secret.

This is how the matter of the prefect of Jiaoyang was found out.

Jiaoyang knew that the garden where the place we were staying was prepared for Zhou Zheng was named Feng Yuan. It is very famous in the local area and was built by the Feng family more than 200 years ago.

The Feng family had several Jinshis in the previous dynasty, and the highest official position was once accused of being a Tongzheng decree of the Tongzhengsi and ranked as the Xiaojiuqing.

When the dynasty was in decline, the Feng family gradually declined and no one was appointed to office again. Most of the children had left their hometown in Jiaoyang. Now the only one who stayed in Jiaoyang was the eldest wife. The old man gave birth to a son of the eldest wife, and the eldest wife had only one daughter. A few years ago, Mr. Feng passed away. Mr. Feng was sent to the black-haired man. His old man had a miserable evening and lived in Fengyuan with his only granddaughter.

The largest and most beautiful place in Jiaoyang City is Fengyuan.

When he learned that the prince was heading south and passing by Jiaoyang, the prefect immediately thought of Feng Yuan.

Old Master Feng was as stubborn as a donkey. Two years ago, someone wanted to pay for Feng Yuan. Not only did he refuse to agree, he also scolded Tooth.

The prefect came to Fengyuan in person and asked the Feng family to immediately repair the garden. He also asked the old master Feng and Miss Feng to move out and gave Fengyuan to the prince and his party as a palace.

In the eyes of the prefect, this is the supreme grace, and it is a blessing like the Feng family who has cultivated for several lifetimes. He gave the Feng family a great face, which made this good thing come to the Feng family.

He thought Mr. Feng would be grateful, but he didn't expect Mr. Feng to refuse flatly.

No one knew what happened in Fengyuan that day, but he knew that the prefect left. After an hour, he asked the arresters and yamen runners in the yamen to block the front and back doors of Fengyuan, and the Feng family was not allowed to enter and exit.

In Fengyuan, except for Old Master Feng and Miss Feng, there are only a dozen old servants. They argue with the yamen runners, but they are not good at trying to break through.

Old Master Feng was furious and fell ill the next day.

The old servant of the Feng family wanted to go out to hire a doctor, but the yamen runners refused to let go.

It took a few days to delay like this. Seeing that Mr. Feng's condition was getting worse day by day, Miss Feng had no choice but to move out of Feng Garden, but the Feng family could not afford to spend money to repair the garden, so all she could do was to move out with her grandfather.

The prefect had already calculated that the Feng family would move, and that the Feng family had no money to build the garden. He found a big merchant to pay for the garden, but the merchant's money was not in vain. The prefect agreed to him and asked the Feng family to sell the garden to him at a low price.

The garden where the prince lived was a hundred times the value, which was a great deal.

But no one expected that the garden had not been repaired yet, Old Master Feng passed away and could not die at his own home until he died.

This incident soon spread in Jiaoyang City. Before Zhou Zheng arrived in Jiaoyang, he heard about it. He was furious and immediately decided not to go to Jiaoyang. He stayed at Qingxu, fifty miles away from Jiaoyang, and ordered the prefect of Jiaoyang and the county magistrate to come to Qingxu to see him.

Compared to the towns I passed along the way, Qingxu is not only small, but also broken.

Zhou Tong took Fangfei and Yancui and walked wherever he went. When he arrived at Qingxu, Yancui asked someone to ask what delicious food and fun it was in Qingxu.

Because the prince had no intention of living in Qingxu, Qingxu had no preparations. The prince lived in the only official post in Qingxu. The official post was too small and there were too many people following the prince, so he could not live in the official post. The officers and soldiers set up camp outside the official post. The officials and Shujishi who were accompanying the Hanlin Academy and the students of the Imperial College lived in the Qingxu Building, the only inn in Qingxu Town.

Zhou Tong and Xiao Ren must be living in Guanyi with Zhou Zheng.

Yan Cui asked someone to inquire, but no one knew that she was following the prince, but instead enthusiastically told her the Qingxu customs and culture.

When Yan Cui ran back, Zhou Cheng happened to be there too.

Yan Cui said, "The reason why Qingxu Town is called Qingxu Town is because there is a Qingxu Temple nearby, which has a history of thousands of years. Although Qingxu Town is as poor as it is, Qingxu Temple is rich. Good men and women in a radius of hundreds of miles all went to Qingxu Temple to burn incense, and Qingxu Temple is so popular. When I inquired with people, people thought that I came to Qingxu Temple to burn incense. By the way, Qingxu Temple's cakes are delicious, and Qingxu Temple's spices are sold for twenty taels of silver per box, which is so expensive that it is so scary."

Fangfei can make incense. When she heard that Qingxuguan’s spices cost ten taels of silver per box, she curled her lips and said, “They really dare to ask for the price. There are only Magnolia Pavilion in the capital that has twenty taels of silver per box. That’s because it is the prescription passed down by Empress Dowager Rong. We have never heard of the sacred place of Qingxuguan in the capital.”

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "There are many things I have never heard of in the capital. You have only been to a few places. Bu Erfeichen from Qixia Temple in Jinling, which is something that you can't buy even if you have money. Things that can be bought with money are not rare."

Yan Cui smiled and slapped her thighs, saying, "Fangfei, listen, what the girl said is the most wise saying, but it's not just that. Twenty taels of silver per box of spices are just a gimmick. Those who can buy them for money are not rare things, and those who are rare are all things that cannot be bought even if they have money, such as the prince's calligraphy, right?"

Zhou Cheng grinned: "The prince's calligraphy? I have it. Last time the prince asked me to write a memorial. After I finished writing it, he revised it on it and asked me to copy it. The one that was ruined was thrown under the bed in my room. It was full of the prince's calligraphy, Yancui. If you want to buy it, I will sell it to you."

Fangfei was so happy that she leaned back and forth. Yan Cui also laughed and pointed at Zhou Cheng and said, "General Zhou, aren't you using us as servants for fun? If I spent money to buy the prince's calligraphy from you, it would be strange if the prince knew about it and didn't snatch the servant's calligraphy back."
