Chapter 138 It's Only Different (Part 2)
.When you walk along the road in summer, you can only walk through the shade of trees and wait for the sweat on your forehead to dry up before walking.
Because after experiencing heavy water, the dirt road was bumpy and was trampled by the cattle, horses and livestock, and then dried and formed. At this time, under the scorching sun, each of them was strange, but there was a short road that was relatively flat and continued to extend. This was what everyone stepped on after the rain. It was extremely conspicuous on this avenue.
Although the road is difficult to walk and hot, there are still many people coming and going. These farmers are busy making a living. Although there are shades of trees on both sides of the road, no one rests.
Wang Xian was also walking on this road. Although he was very hot, he did not stop after coming out of the county government. He immediately walked here even though there was a cool breeze today, but he was so anxious that he was sweating all over his face.
"Is anyone here?" Wang Xian finally walked under the big willow tree again. The big tree looked nothing changed, but the shade was very big and it attracted the wind. Standing below, it suddenly became colder.
Wang Xian shouted twice but didn't see anyone. He couldn't help but look around strangely and then approached the hut but saw that the door was locked. Obviously, the woman in white, Hong Ya was not at home.
"Where did you go?" Wang Xian murmured to himself while sitting under the big tree.
It’s great to enjoy the cool under the big tree.
This place is indeed a good place to enjoy the cool air. Wang Xian stretched out his legs and feet, then wiped his forehead and sweat, looking around.
When I was recovering from the injury here, I could see the growing crops from here, but now there is no green. Only some busy farmers are scattered like stars in the fields.
It won’t take long to get green again, although it can’t stop the heavy rain, but the heavy rain can’t stop the living people.
Wang Xianqing breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed the breeze, but thought of Li Qingzhao again.
In fact, whether Li Qingzhao's mother is sick or not, she should go back. After all, she was angry and now that she has been so long, she is also very worried about her family. It is extremely rare for Lord Li to write a letter to her. If Li Qingzhao doesn't go back, she will be a very rebellious person. In the future, she will be guilty.
But this time I don't know if I will meet again.
Although there was no scolding in Lord Li's letter, Wang Xian knew that he must be extremely angry. He received a letter from Wang Deming two months ago and mentioned slightly that Lord Li's moving was the case because of this incident that the two families were incompatible.
He shook his head suddenly and then shouted loudly as if he wanted to shout out all his depression.
"What are you calling me!" A sudden voice shouted that Wang Xian immediately shut up.
"Uh, Miss Hong, where have you been? I just didn't want to find you, so I'll wait for you to come back under this big tree." Wang Xian turned around and saw the woman in white Hong Ya, who was standing beside her, wearing plain clothes and long hanging shoulders. Although it was a hot summer, she didn't sweat.
"I just came out and heard you screaming here when I came out." Hong Yaqing frowned and said, "You won't come here if you have nothing to do, what's going on?"
"Oh, I am here to thank you Miss Hong. Last time, because of your help, we have money to buy food, and the people have food to eat. Everything has been settled down. Thanks to you all this." Wang Xian said quickly.
"Is this the case?" Hong Ya asked.
Wang Xian nodded unconsciously but saw Hong Ya walking towards the room and shouting, "Ah, Miss Hong."
"What's wrong? Something else is wrong?" Hong Ya said impatiently.
"Uh yes, actually I want to ask Miss Hong, you do me a favor." Wang Xian said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to repay you for helping me last time. Now I'm so sorry for the girl."
Hong Ya said: "Since you know I'm sorry, you should go back and be your county magistrate. Don't come over to ask someone if you have any problems!"
"If Miss Hong is something else, I will naturally solve it myself, but I really need your help. Hey, listen to me first." Wang Xian was just saying this, but Hong Ya ignored it and hurriedly chased after him, "I really need Miss Hong, help in this matter, I hope you can listen to me first."
"Well, tell me." Hong Ya pushed open the door and walked into the dirt house. She said slowly after coming in: "What's the matter?"
"Oh, that's it." Although Wang Xian was surprised that Hong Ya was not angry, he didn't think too much about it and quickly told Li Qingzhao that she wanted to escort her for a while. Then he said aloofly: "I know it must be a bit ridiculous to say this, but after thinking about it, I still think that the best way is Miss Hong, please help."
Hong Ya suddenly smiled like a warm flower and said calmly: "Mr. Wang values affection and righteousness and despise it for a woman, how could I feel ridiculous?"
"Ah? Did you agree?" Wang Xian didn't expect Hong Ya to answer like this and suddenly felt a big surprise and said with a look of surprise: "Thank you Miss Hong!"
"When did I say that I agreed?" Hong Ya stood up and said coldly: "I thought why the matter was so serious, but I didn't expect that it was a confidante of Lord Wang. If I helped you last time, I could also be for the sake of the people of Changhua County. Then tell me why I wanted to escort this woman for you?"
Wang Xian was stunned and then heard Hong Ya snorting loudly: "It's better to beg for yourself than begging others. If you really care about her, I will send her back by myself. I don't owe you anything. I've given you enough face. Do you still have to think I'm your servant?"
"It's not that I never meant this." Wang Xian waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Miss Hong's grace for saving his life several times is unrequited, but because he was really worried about her safety, he came to ask the girl for help. If the girl doesn't want to be with her, she will take back this sentence and hope that Miss Hong will not be angry."
"I'm not angry." Hong Ya said indifferently: "Don't come to find me again. I have done enough. Even if my uncle comes, there is nothing to say. Go back quickly."
Wang Xian sighed slightly and saw Hong Ya tidying up the table by herself, so he had no hope, so he had to say, "Then I'm going to say goodbye."
Hong Ya ignored Wang Xian and made him extremely depressed, so he wanted to go out, but suddenly saw someone coming here and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huh, why haven't you left yet?" Hong Ya was a little unhappy when she saw Wang Xian standing here, saying, "Do you have something to do?"
"What's wrong?" A voice came and then an old man walked into.
"Master!" Hong Ya immediately reacted and hurriedly approached and said respectfully: "Disciple, please see Master."
The old man waved his hand gently and looked at Wang Xian and said, "I heard that the Jiangnan disaster has been handled well. Other prefectures and counties have been reported from time to time. But everything in this small county is in order, which is really good."
Wang Xian was stunned and hurriedly said, "This is because the people know the truth, everything is not as important as farming, so Changhua County has such a situation."
"Don't be humble, it's your credit." The old man seemed very happy to walk into the house and sit down and said, "Sit down and talk too, I'm too busy for this period of time until today."
"Oh? Where have you been?" Wang Xian sat opposite the old man and smiled and said, "The old man must be on the road if he is on the road because of heavy rainstorms."
"Yes, there is water everywhere." The old man sighed and then turned to Hong Ya and said, "Go and make two cups of tea."
"Disciple, please obey the order." Hong Ya looked at Wang Xian who was sitting, bowed and walked out.
"I didn't actually go too far, but I just walked around the Jiangnan area for a while, but I didn't expect that the heavy rain would come unexpectedly for several days, which delayed a little bit of the trip." The old man sighed and said, "The power of this natural disaster is indeed extremely heavy, so heavy rain is probably only the disaster in the Xining year. I'm afraid that only the great disaster in the Xining year can be compared. Although I have seen too much along the way, I really sighed one after another and couldn't bear to see it."
Wang Xian sighed when he heard what he said: "Yes, this most painful person is still an ordinary person who is still killed and injured by this flood. The power of countless mortals can only sigh in front of this heavenly power."
"No, that's not the case." The old man shook his head and said, "Although the heavy rain is heavy, if it is handled properly, how could there be so many casualties? In Huzhou, I heard from people that there is a small county in Huzhou called Changxing. The terrain is low and the rainstorms are continuous. The people are extremely panicked and their families are fleeing. However, the confused officials in that small county thought that the rain was safe and ordered them to leave. They also sent to look at the yamen runners. As a result, two days later, the water in Taihu Lake broke through and the flood rushed straight to the small county and killed hundreds and thousands of lives in vain! Do you think if the people were arranged in advance, they could die in the flood?"
Wang Xianfang wanted to speak but saw Hong Ya take over the tea and put the teacup in front of them and left directly.
"I saw a lot of crying from the people along the way. I thought Changhua was the same, but unexpectedly it looked the same again. It seemed that I underestimated you before." The old man drank a few sips of tea and said slowly: "This generation in Jiangnan knows how to stabilize the people's hearts, but no one thinks about how to truly stabilize. You are doing well. I am worth learning from those people."
"I am ashamed," Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Actually, these days I have been thinking about how to calm the people down. Only this disaster has lost half of their wealth, and they have shortage of clothes and food. This is a difficult situation. It is still necessary to get through it. Fortunately, several wealthy and kind people helped to raise some money to buy grain from Fujian and get peace."
"Oh? There is such a good person?" The old man was stunned when he heard this and sighed: "Now there are not many good people, but there are many snobbish people, which is considered a blessing for Changhua."
Wang Xian smiled slightly and picked up the tea and took a sip. But the tea was too hot. His mouth was so hot that it let go as soon as he touched it. He looked up but saw the old man drinking on his own, and he couldn't help but wonder if this old man is a master in the martial arts world who is not afraid of the high temperature and boiling water that can penetrate into his stomach?
"I took some roads in Jiangnan and found that people's hearts were even more volatile than in previous years. The Ming Cult took this opportunity to win people's hearts and spread the doctrines in some large prefectures and counties in Jiangnan. People are more convinced because of this disaster. It seems that the Ming Cult really has to do something." If the old man had a deep meaning, "This court's internal and external troubles are really worrying."
Wang Xian blurted out and said, "Mingjiao?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the Ming Cult is indeed too ostentatious. The more and more people there are, there is no need to be underestimated."
"Oh." Wang Xian smiled slightly and said as if he was careless: "They are also doing good deeds. The people are displaced and have no place to rely on, so this is normal."
The old man sneered and said, "After underestimating the Ming Cult, it will naturally be a day to regret it."
Wang Xian just smiled and said, "No one can tell whether it is a disaster or a blessing."
The old man shook his head and suddenly felt as if he remembered something, and said strangely: "By the way, why did you come here? What did you say to Hong Ya just now?"
"Oh, when it comes to this, I want to ask the old man for help." He suddenly remembered his purpose of coming here and quickly told the matter. Then he said aloofly: "I really don't feel at ease with her, so I wanted to ask Miss Hong for help, but unexpectedly, Miss Hong said that there was something important and had no choice but to go back but met you, Mr. Hong."
"So this is the matter." The old man smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with. I will tell Hong Ya a few words to ask her to escort the girl back to Bianjing and go to Bianjing to do something."
Wang Xian was very surprised to hear this and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
The old man shook his head and said, "There is nothing that happened now that you have settled in Changhua County. I don't think there will be any danger. We will leave. We will meet again when you transfer to the office in the future."
"Huh?" Wang Xian was stunned and then said in surprise: "Brother, are you leaving too?"
The old man nodded and said, "I still have some accumulated instruments that I haven't sold, so I have to go to a place to sell these things."
"Sell musical instruments?" Wang Xianwei thought about it and knew that the old man didn't want to explain the reason, and he didn't know how to ask, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll see you again in the future."
The old man smiled and stood up and said to Wang Xian: "You are a county magistrate and know the suffering of the people. You must also take care of yourself after you are a good official."
Wang Xian nodded and became more and more surprised at their identities. Who should this old man be? What exactly should he do?
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and talk to Hong Ya and sit here and wait."
Wang Xian nodded quickly and let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, these people helped him a lot, they were considered their benefactors. Although they were mysterious, they did not treat him until they would naturally confess their confession in the future.
As he thought about it, he saw the old man walking in and quickly got up and heard the old man say, "I have already told Hong Ya when that girl is about to leave?"
Wang Xian was stunned and hesitated: "I will set off tomorrow."
The old man nodded and said, "Then I'll let Hong Ya go over tomorrow and you can go back and prepare for one or two."
Wang Xian thanked him again and then walked out and waited to the willow tree but heard Hong Ya say coldly: "I'm going to help you get lucky again. This is the last time."
After she said that, she turned around and left, which made Wang Xian startled. It seemed that Hong Ya was a little more resentful towards her.
But this is also impossible. Li Qingzhao's safe return to Beijing was the key. He suddenly sighed and murmured: "I'm leaving tomorrow."
When the morning light first appears, the east is dyed a red world bathed in the sun.
The summer birds yelled in the early morning Changhua County also began to break the silence and became bustling.
On the side outside the city, Wang Xian was standing under the tree and Li Qingzhao whispered beside him.
He talked to Li Qingzhao at the pavilion in the yard last night. He didn't separate until Dawn. Then he washed up and didn't lie for a while. He hurriedly prepared to hire a carriage outside to wait and send Li Qingzhao out.
Because they had to wait for Hong Ya, the two of them said these nagging words were originally very boring, but they didn't feel tired even if they parted.
It was not until a long time since Wang Xian could hardly find what to say that he came back to his senses and looked around strangely and said depressedly: "Why haven't she come yet?"
"I've been here for a long time, but I'm so happy to see you guys, so I didn't come to disturb you." Suddenly, a voice came from my ears and then I saw Hong Ya walking over with a wooden box in her arms.
