Looking at Chen Yaozuo, Xu Ping was silent for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I first arrived at Jingxi Road and had not handed over the errands with Wang Yong yet. It is too early to say these things. After a few days, I will take over the Caosi Department of Jingxi Road and meet with the people from the Taizheng Department and the Shuai Department. I will then invite the guards along the river to discuss. What will happen then?"

Chen Yaozuo said: "It is natural to be like this. I will come to Luoyang in person to discuss matters!"

According to conventional rules, if a magistrate like Chen Yaozuo does not participate in ordinary civil affairs, it is Lu Ge who wants to discuss it. However, he took the initiative to stand up and could not help but give him this face.

Xu Ping really didn't want these big men to be involved in his administration. Whether they were not allowed to do so, they would be difficult to control the degree of their relationship, so they would offend people if they were not careful. Chen Yaozuo from Zhengzhou, Li Di from Mengzhou, Zhang Qi from Xiangzhou, and Xu Ping only hoped that these three people would enjoy their lives when they were on Jingxi Road, and all the political affairs were left to the magistrate to deal with. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Jingxi Road, Chen Yaozuo jumped out, which was really uneasy.

Finally, Chen Yaozuo introduced to Xu Ping the Liaozuo in Zhengzhou and the magistrates of the counties below, and there was no major event.

At this time, the bright moon rose, and was shrouded in silver light everywhere, like a dream.

Xu Ping said goodbye to Chen Yaozuo, led by Liu Dujian of the state, left Zhengzhou City, and returned to the inn to rest. He had not officially taken office at this time, so according to the rules, Xu Ping had to live in the inn, so of course it depends on whether he abides by the rules or not.

When she returned to the inn, Xiuxiu was reading a book under the lamp. When she saw Xu Ping coming in, she hurriedly put the book down and came up to help with the official robe. She said, "The official scent is so good, are you a little drunk?"

Xu Ping took off his official robe, took a cup of tea on the table and drank it in one sip, and said to Xiuxiu: "What is your nose? I mainly talked about business affairs with Mr. Chen. I didn't drink a few glasses of wine at all, so I got drunk? By the way, what book did you read just now?"

" "Huajian Ji". Didn't you say that I want to read more? The girl's family will naturally study these things. Do you still read the scriptures and history?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Huajian Ci. Although the words and sentences are weak and mostly written about the feelings of a boudoir, the words "Da Xing" starts with Huajian Ci. If you don't listen to the lyrics, Huajian Ci is the most authentic and the essence of the lyrics."

Xiuxiu shook her head: "Why did I pay attention to this when you say this? I just looked interesting."

Xu Ping leaned against the table and thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. Xiuxiu just passed the time to relieve her boredom. Could it be that she would study the history of literary development? As long as she could see it, she could see whatever she wanted.

Sitting at the table, Xu Ping watched Xiuxiu tidy up her official robe, fetch water and clean her face, and was busy, and couldn't help but say, "Xiuxiu, you are different from your previous status. Are you looking for someone around to do these chores?"

"What's the difference? The wife asked me to be with the official, but I just did these things? I could change someone and let me go home when I left the capital. Why do I have to follow the official again and travel far away?"

Xu Ping thought about it and it seemed that what Xiuxiu said made sense, but did she work hard for the rest of her life?

Xiuxiu fed water, asked Xu Ping to clean the noodles, and then went out to burn hot water to prepare to wash his feet.

After busy work, the night was already dark. A round and large moon outside hung in the sky, smearing the night color, and the whole world seemed to be covered with silver makeup, which looked particularly different.

Xiuxiu had just cleaned up, wiped her hands and said to Xu Ping: "Officials, it's dark, so it's better to rest early. I don't know what to do tomorrow. If you get up late, it will be ridiculous."

Xu Ping grabbed Xiuxiu's hand and said, "There is nothing to do tomorrow, but Uncle Li came to see us from the original martial arts supervisor in the afternoon. In the morning, I will take you to see the scenery of Zhengzhou. There is a Pushe Pond not far from the city. There is a Lingxian King Temple next to the pond. It is very effective. We went there to burn some incense and candles. I heard that when Hu Yan Tuan Lian was young, he once worshipped King Lingxian in the temple as his uncle. Later, he was noble. It can be seen that he was a spiritual god who could be blessed. When Emperor Zhenzong was the emperor, he went there to sacrifice himself."

Xiuxiu smiled and held her hand, but Xu Ping tightly grabbed it. She said with a smile: "It's all about asking the gods to ask for the gods, so she went to the temple to burn incense and candles. It's okay, who will spend the spare money? Let's go, why should we ask for the King of Lingxian?"

"You and I are husband and wife now. When we go there, we are naturally praying for children. What else can we ask for?"

Xiuxiu lowered her head and didn't say anything, but just held her hand, her face full of shyness. Seeing that Xu Ping didn't let go, she said angrily: "That Pushepi is near our Zhuangzi, what is the rare place? What is the Lingxian King? I have heard people say that God has worshipped wrongly, so what's the difference? Those who know that worshipping have made the Lord of God wrong, so the gods shouldn't be angry and broken! "

Xu Ping smiled and said, "What is the divine lord you worship? As long as it is effective, you will be able to bear the incense!"

The Pushebei area was originally the fiefdom of Pushe Li Chong of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The land was named after him, and this temple was named after the place. However, during the Five Dynasties, Pushe Li Chong was falsely reported to be Li Jing, Duke of Pushe of the Tang Dynasty. Later Jin posthumously named Li Jing as King Lingxian, and this temple was renamed Lingxian King Temple. Zhenzong returned to the capital in the west and went to sacrifice himself when he passed by. The sacrifice was also praised by Li Jing's merits, and from then on he made mistakes.

Xiuxiu is a local native, but she still remembers that the temple worshiped the wrong god. However, Hu Yanzan is not a local. Because his mother's surname is Li, she recognized the gods in the temple as her uncle and came to worship for him.

Xu Ping just found an excuse to go out for a walk with Xiuxiu, and didn't care about the gods in the temple.

Xiuxiu was not strong enough. Seeing Xu Ping holding his hand, she stopped and said, "It's time to rest late at night. What does the official do when he holds my hand? You are not sleepy, but I am already sleepy."

"We will sleep when we are sleepy. Now that we are husband and wife, we should sleep together. Haven't you noticed that we only arranged one room for us in the inn? And there is only one bed in this room."

Xiuxiu lowered her head and whispered: "I first arrived at your house, but I just sat outside the house all night. I didn't sleep with a bed, so what happened? I wasn't afraid when I was a child, but now I'm not afraid!"

Xu Ping looked down at Xiuxiu and said to her: "We were not husband and wife back then, so we naturally didn't sleep together. I don't know if you sleep outside. Didn't you arrange a place for you to live the next day? Now that we are husband and wife, we have to sleep together. We were going to be together after we left the city, but in Baisha Town you went back to your home, which made me lonely all night."

"What's the loneliness? In Yongzhou, officials have been here for several years?"

Xiuxiu's voice was very small, and the mosquitoes were humming, and she could hardly hear it.

Xu Ping exerted force on his hand, hugged Xiuxiu in his arms, and whispered to her: "How old were you then? I have to guard the officials even if I don't guard it. Now it's different. With you, why do I have to sleep alone?"

Xiuxiu's head was buried in Xu Ping's arms, her body was motionless and she didn't speak.

Xu Ping hugged Xiuxiu, looked out the window, and whispered to her: "The moonlight is just right tonight, and it's clear again. We should go out to enjoy the moon with you. But, it's better to rest early. It's important to have children early after being a couple."

Xiuxiu spat: "If you don't have seriousness, you can have a baby sooner!"

Xu Ping laughed, hugged Xiuxiu in his arms, and walked into the bedroom.

Officials in Zhengzhou, including the postmaster of the inn, only knew that Xu Ping brought a concubine to the post. They didn't know that the two had not yet completed the house, and the room was not arranged, and they were still in normal shape. Xu Ping looked at it and couldn't help feeling disappointed. He whispered to Xiuxiu in his arms: "There is no new house in this room, but you have been wronged."

Xiuxiu said "um" and didn't know what it meant, so she didn't say anything anymore.

The two of them have been together for nearly ten years and are very familiar with each other. At this time, somehow they feel a little unfamiliar. At this time, they seem to have changed into the same person.

Xiuxiu was mixed feelings, a little happy, a little frightened, and a little didn't know how to deal with it. Many of the maids and concubines in other people's houses have been taken away by the male owner, and some were even kicked out of the house after they became pregnant. Xiuxiu also knew about these, so she often secretly glad that she met a good person like Xu Ping.

However, after tonight, the relationship between the two was a different person, and Xiuxiu didn't know whether it was good or bad.

There was no incense in the room. The moonlight passed through the window, like mercury pouring down the ground, looking a little cold.

Xu Ping lowered his head and asked Xiuxiu in his arms: "Xiuxiu, why don't you speak? Is it a bit cold when it's windy at night?"

Xiuxiu shook her head and nodded again, not knowing what it means.

Xu Ping sighed: "Why are you so weird tonight? I can't guess what you think. Forget it, let's go to the bed and cover it with a quilt and it won't be cold."

While talking, he hugged Xiuxiu to the bed.

When he arrived in front of the bed, Xu Ping put Xiuxiu on the bed. He thought Xiuxiu would pounce on the quilt, so he was so embarrassed that he buried his face and did not dare to look at him. Unexpectedly, Xiuxiu sat quietly on the bed and looked at him calmly.

Xu Ping was surprised by Xiuxiu. He looked left and right, thinking that something was wrong with him. But after looking at him, he didn't find anything wrong, so he couldn't help but ask Xiuxiu: "What is Xiuxiu looking at? Could it be that there is something strange about me?"

Xiuxiu said calmly: "No. I have been with the official for ten years and have never seen the official take care of himself. I just look at it. If the official takes off his clothes, he will fold it up and put it on his own."

Xu Ping laughed loudly after hearing this: "I can take off my clothes, but I can't put them on! By the way, Xiuxiu, I will not only take off my night shirt, but also take off my own ones. Do you want to see it?"

Xiuxiu's face suddenly turned red, she turned her head and ignored Xu Ping.

Xu Ping gently took off his coat and hung it up on the side. He bulged his mouth and blew out the red candle next to him.

"The warm wind blows the willows and ice breaks, the snow on the small building has just melted, and the golden wind and jade dew meets. The peach blossoms are just blooming, and the color is tender and the new red color is broken.

The delicate flowers are not like grass on the left, the lingering places move the flowers, the moon and stars are faint and the eyes are blurred. The dew drops the flowers and jade stamens, and the duck pillow is in the spring breeze."
