In the early morning, there is wind.

A man in white stood in the yard with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the sky and let the breeze blow his clothes. The man was not old and had a tall figure. He stood with his hands behind his back and didn't say anything, and always felt that he had a special attraction.

This feeling is very special and strange. It seems that he has been standing there since eternity, as if there are only white clouds, the earth and himself between heaven and earth.

Standing with your hands behind your back is a very ordinary standing posture, but the man in white seems to be mixed with some differences in the ordinary standing. It is undeniable that the man in white is a very attractive man. Of course, the so-called attraction must be based on...he does not have that pair of panda eyes.

"The eagle that has been playing for a lifetime was finally pecked by a little sparrow. My handsome face, my eyes as bright as stars. God, the earth, send a thundering dog to take away that damn crazy girl."

"Brother Jiang, you have been standing there for a long time. The dew is heavy in the morning. It's okay if you stand like that?" Han Yu, who was practicing knife in the yard, couldn't help asking.

Jiang Xia shook her head and said, "You don't understand. Looking at the sky in the morning can help the blood circulation of the eyes. Do you think I'm circulating in place?"

Jiang Xia lowered his head, and Han Yu shouted as soon as he saw it, "Oh, you were beaten, right? Who hurts you? Tell me, I'll help you revenge."

Jiang Xia waved her hand and sighed, "Forget it, let me forgive you if you have to forgive me, and she hasn't left anything."

After saying that, Jiang Xia turned around and left.

Han Yu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Jiang Xia's back as he left: "Brother Jiang is good at everything, but he is too kind."

After breakfast, Jiang Xia took some food with a plate and returned to her room. When she opened the room, she saw a woman on the bed tied with her hands and feet, a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and a turtle painted on her face. This person is none other than Yang Jingjing.

When Yang Jingjing heard someone open the door, she immediately turned around and wanted to ask for help, but when she saw that it was Jiang Xia, her hopeful gaze immediately became fierce and fierce.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I originally wanted to give you some breakfast to eat with kindness, but now I may not want to eat it when you look like this. Whether it is good, I will feed you another thing."

After saying that, Jiang Xia took out a pill from her arms and walked to Yang Jingjing. He pulled the cloth from Yang Jingjing's mouth open, and Yang Jingjing immediately scolded loudly: "Jiang Xia, I must kill... Cough cough..."

Yang Jingjing felt that Jiang Xia seemed to throw something into her mouth. She asked nervously: "What did you eat for me, you bastard."

"Hmph!" Jiang Xia's eyes were gloomy. At this moment, he looked exactly the same as the perverted murderous maniac seen on TV in later generations. Jiang Xia lowered his voice and said gloomyly: "What I just gave you is the carrot bone pill secretly passed down by our Jiang family."

"Corrosive bone pill?" Yang Jingjing was so scared that her face was pale. Her beautiful eyes blinked and she burst into tears. She cried, "Give me poison, woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

"Cry, cry..." Jiang Xia's voice became even more gloomy.

"Just cry as much as you want. Once this rotten bone pill encounters tears, it will start to attack. First of all, you will feel extremely itchy all over your body. Then small red spots will grow on your body, and when the color of the small spots becomes darker, it will start to turn. Then your flesh and blood will ulcerate, your bones will be corroded, and you will turn into a pool of blood in 49 days, hahahaha..."

"Ah!!! I don't want to turn into blood, I don't want to die of ulceration, it's so disgusting." Yang Jingjing shouted but never dared to cry again.

I don’t know whether the psychological effect is true or the medicine is effective. She felt that her body had begun to itch and the itch became heavier and heavier. Yang Jingjing said in a crying voice: “I was wrong, I never dared to do it again. Please give me an antidote.”

Jiang Xia smiled proudly, and he took out another pill from his arms and threw it into Yang Jingjing's mouth and said, "This pill can ensure that you will not get sick for seven days. If you are obedient in these seven days, I will give you a complete antidote and completely eradicate the poison in your body. If you are disobedient..."

"Be obedient, I will be obedient." Yang Jingjing promised confidently.

Jiang Xia curled a smile of a successful treacherous plan on the corner of her mouth, thinking that this silly girl is also easy to cheat. He helped untie the rope on Yang Jingjing, then crossed her legs and said, "Come on, hammer the legs first."

Yang Jingjing glared at Jiang Xia angrily, and a syllable came out of Jiang Xia’s nostrils: “Hmm?”

Yang Jingjing immediately squatted down and began to beat Jiang Xia's legs.

While beating Jiangxia, he praised, "Well, the craftsmanship is pretty good."

After hammering for a while, Jiang Xia said, "Okay, go and eat breakfast by yourself, and then clean up and go out with me to buy medicine."

"Buy medicine? Is it poison again?" Yang Jingjing was nervous when she heard the medicine.

Jiang Xia pointed to his two panda eyes and roared: "Removing blood stasis medicine! Look at the good things you did yourself!"

Jiang Xia's face was pale, and the purple-black bruise seemed particularly eye-catching. Even Yang Jingjing couldn't help but smile when she saw it. It seemed that she was very satisfied with her masterpiece.

When Jiang Xia took Yang Jingjing to the street to buy medicine, Yang Jingjing's father Yang Yiqing also happened to enter the palace. In the palace, Li Dongyang was discussing matters with Zhu Houzhao. There were many things recently. Zhu Houzhao was worried that the locust plague that Jiang Xia predicted would happen, and at the same time, he was worried that there would be no money to build a border defense for Yang Yiqing.

The Ming Dynasty itself was recaptured from the Mongolians, and the Mongolians never gave up on the Central Plains. After so many years, the Mongolians have recovered a lot of vitality and their strength is getting stronger and stronger. If you say that Zhu Houzhao doesn't understand these, he is not afraid of these things. Zhu Houzhao's martial habits are famous in history.

After discussing with Li Dongyang for a long time, Zhu Houzhao could not get a suitable solution to the issue of the Shaanxi City Defense Construction Fund. At this moment, Zhang Yong suddenly entered the Qianqing Palace to report: "Emperor, the Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, Lord Yang Yiqing and Yang, came. He said that there was a method for the Shaanxi City Defense Construction Fund. I want to discuss it with the Emperor."

"Have Yang Yiqing got a solution?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll announce that he's coming in immediately."

"Abide by the order."

Zhang Yong withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and soon Yang Yiqing walked in. After entering the house and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Yang Aiqing doesn't have to be too polite. I just heard Zhang Yong say that you have already thought of a solution to the problem of the Shaanxi City defense construction fund?"

"If you go back to the emperor, I have already found a way. You only need the court to allocate 300,000 taels of silver to achieve it."

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver." Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and nodded, "This treasury can still be used to pay out, so tell me how."

"I obey the order." Yang Yiqing began to explain his method. He almost copied Jiang Xia's words to Zhu Houzhao. After listening to it, Zhu Houzhao nodded repeatedly and said, "This method is very wonderful. I feel that this is bound to be feasible. What do you think the tutor?"

Zhu Houzhao asked Li Dongyang, and Li Dongyang also nodded and said, "I also think it is feasible."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, then it's decided. I will issue an imperial edict to you later, Yang Aiqing, you must do this for me this time. If you do it, I will have a lot of rewards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Yiqing said excitedly, "I will do my best to do my best, even if I die, I will do this."

"Yeah." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and he said with a smile: "For some reason, I always feel that what you said just now is not very similar to your own tone, but very much like... Another person in my impression. By the way, Yang Aiqing, how did you think of such a wonderful method in less than a day?"

"This..." Yang Yiqing was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao could tell the difference just by his tone. This made Yang Yiqing dare not deceive Zhu Houzhao. It was called deceiving the emperor. In terms of severity, he would have to be beheaded.

Yang Yiqing secretly glanced at Li Dongyang and had to bite the bullet and said, "When you come back to the emperor, the method I just said was not what I thought of, but a master I asked for advice."

"Expert?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt something was wrong. He frowned slightly and said, "Which expert is so powerful?"

Yang Yiqing sighed in his heart: "I heard that someone had held a disaster relief charity dinner a few days ago, which attracted many wealthy businessmen in the capital to donate a large amount of money, and donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one fell swoop. So I went to this master to ask for advice, and this person is..."

"The owner of Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia!" Zhu Houzhao took on the second half of the sentence for Yang Yiqing before he could finish his words.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no sound in the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Yiqing and then looked at Li Dongyang. After being silent for a while, Zhu Houzhao said: "Since I was born in the palace, I have not followed the eunuchs and have become palace maids. After ascending the throne, I walked around and worshipped all the people and surrendered. Although I am rich in the world, I am very pitiful.

You all have friends of all kinds and that, and what about me? There is no one who can say a close word. I also want to try what it feels like to make friends. If someone reveals my identity and makes me lose my friends, I can guarantee that I will definitely make him lose my head!"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yiqing immediately knelt on the ground and said nervously: "I am afraid."

Yang Yiqing knelt down but Li Dongyang did not kneel. After thinking about it, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. What is a king? The king is the lord of the world. He turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain. For the king, the mountains, rivers, seas, wasteland and fertile fields are all their things. For the king, birds, beasts, farmers, industry and commerce are all their control. For the king, no one in the world can be friends with him, only ministers. The ministers cannot be close to him, but they cannot show their hearts. The king's way is the way of loneliness."

Li Dongyang's words meant very straightforward and simple. He said that the land and rivers in the world belong to the emperor. For the emperor, the people in the world can only be ministers, but not friends. The emperor can be closer to his ministers, but he cannot give him his heart. The king's path is very lonely.

After Li Dongyang said this, Zhu Houzhao was silent. He looked at Li Dongyang, and his calm eyes always made people feel endless anger hidden. After a long time, Zhu Houzhao said four words lightly: "All nonsense."

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao got up and walked out of the Ganqing Palace.

Yang Yiqing, who was kneeling on the ground, could only shout loudly: "I respectfully send you to the emperor."

After the emperor had already left, Li Dongyang sat back on his chair weakly. He murmured to himself: "Mr. Xie, Mr. Liu has retired because of the emperor's evil. Now the torrent has arrived. I'm afraid it's time for me to retreat. I can protect myself if I'm late..."

Li Dongyang's voice was very low, and Yang Yiqing didn't hear what he was saying clearly. Yang Yiqing stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "I didn't expect that Jiang Xia's status in the emperor's heart is so heavy that he has been regarded as a friend by the emperor."

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster." Li Dongyang sighed and asked Yang Yiqing: "You have seen Jiang Xia, what do you think of this person?"

After thinking about it, Yang Yiqing said, "This person is good at judging the situation and being good at speaking. He has extremely wonderful ideas and seems to be completely unrestrained by the world. However, what is certain is that this person must be a kind-hearted and courageous person, which can be seen from his words."

After saying that, Yang Yiqing took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Dongyang.

After taking a look, Li Dongyang looked at Yang Yiqing with a strange look: "IOU?"

Yang Yiqing's old face turned red and he coughed twice, "Uh... I will explain this to the adult later, so he will read his words."

The IOU was written by Jiang Xia. At first, Yang Yiqing didn't pay attention. After he got home, he took out the IOU and was about to tear it off. Yang Yiqing himself was called a child prodigy when he was young. He participated in the provincial examination at the age of fourteen and was recommended as a Hanlin scholar. Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty once ordered the cabinet to select a teacher to teach him. In the eighth year of Chenghua, he became a Jinshi in the Renchen examination and was appointed as a Zhongshu Sheren.

When it comes to literary cultivation, Yang Yiqing was also among the top in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially Yang Yiqing is a man who loves calligraphy. He has almost copied and learned the calligraphy of the ancients, but he has never seen the characters written by Jiang Xia before. It should be the calligraphy style created by Jiang Xia himself. This style is straight and stable, with a strong force passing through the back of the paper, and a sense of grandeur and righteousness is everywhere.

People who like calligraphy think that people are as good as their characters, so Yang Yiqing then thinks that Jiang Xia is a good person.

Like Jiang Xia, Li Dongyang is also a person who likes calligraphy. After reading Jiang Xia's calligraphy, he resisted nodded and said, "If this person is really a person with great intelligence and kind heart, then we must be well trained. In the future, this person will definitely be blessed by the country and the country."

The blessing of the country and the country mentioned by Li Dongyang was singing a small song in front of him empty-handedly, while Yang Jingjing was following him carrying two large medicinal herbs, which seemed to be of great weight.

Yang Jingjing looked at Jiang Xia fiercely, but in fact, Jiang Xia was also guilty.

Last night, he almost had a skin relationship with Yang Jingjing. But he had a skin relationship with him. Even the little white rabbit was touched by him for a long time.

Jiang Xia was afraid that Yang Jingjing would rely on her and would not marry her if she had no choice but to marry her.

Fortunately, it seems that Yang Jingjing was not affected by the chastity of women with three or four virtues. From last night to now, she has not talked about this topic except for being angry with herself. Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Qingyun, the third son of the Muyang Hou Mansion, was wandering on the street with more than a dozen servants. When he saw his beautiful little wife, he would whistle and tease him. It seems that from ancient times to the present, the behavior of hooligans is almost the same.

Suddenly, Liu Qingyun saw Yang Jingjing holding two large herbs in her hand alone.
