Baozhu was jogging in front, mumbling, "...chop the lean meat, soak the Poria cocos in warm water, and cover your hands with a layer of gauze when cutting the yam, otherwise your hands will itch..."
Xianjin said loudly, "Slow down! We are not familiar with the road and it is dark, be careful not to fall!"
Baozhu waved her hands behind her back, "If I don't run faster, I will forget everything that Mother Zhang said!" Then she began to mutter, "You can't cover your hands with gauze when cutting yam, otherwise your hands will itch... You can't cover your hands with gauze... You can't cover them..."
Xianjin laughed.
Qiao Hui lowered his head slightly. Even if he didn't look, he could imagine in his mind the girl's carefree and beautiful face and how beautiful her smile was.
Xianjin and Qiao Hui walked side by side behind.
"What's wrong with Master Qiao's leg?" Xian Jinfa asked.
Qiao Hui withdrew his gaze from the shadowy pine forest and said succinctly, "His ankles were shackled and soaked in dirty water in the dungeon. His skin, flesh and bones were all rotten. Now I can only take good care of him and hope he can stand up soon."
Xianjin clenched his fists tightly and didn't speak for a long time.
"The man from Yingtian Prefecture is seeking your father's forgiveness and understanding regardless of his attitude. You must be confused, right?" Qiao Hui didn't want to dwell on the pain of the past, and broke the silence with a hoarse voice.
Xianjin smiled and looked up, "Did you find out?"
Qiao Hui smiled, "Your eyebrows are almost twisted into a straight line. It's very funny. It's hard not to notice."
Xianjin: ...A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory, and a Hui mouth can only eat hairtail.
Which teenage girl would like to hear that she is described as "funny"?
Even if this young girl is a dung beetle that has transformed into a spirit, she does not want to be a comedian.
"Thank you." Xianjin rolled his eyes in the same way as Chen Fu did, "Next time, I'll try to be more serious and not so funny."
Qiao Hui smiled, her long eyelashes hitting the shadow of her nose, the two shadows merged into one, "The position of the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is vacant, and the fourth-rank officials who have the potential to compete are all eyeing it covetously. Yingtian Prefecture has a tradition of internal promotion, which means that the current fourth-rank prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is the strongest competitor for the next prefect."
Since Qiao Hui's voice became hoarse, he rarely spoke such long sentences continuously.
He thought his voice was awful.
Like a piece of torn paper in a storm, it makes a buzzing sound.
Qiao Hui paused, deliberately cleared his throat, and then continued, "But as long as father does not accept Yingtian Prefecture's favor, none of Yingtian Prefecture's current fourth-rank officials will have a chance to take up the position."
"Why?" Xianjin frowned.
This was an area she had absolutely no knowledge of.
The officialdom and the business world are different.
Officials are accustomed to stabbing people while wearing masks, and shopping malls are accustomed to laying out lights and laying mines.
It is much harder to get into the officialdom than in the business world.
Qiao Hui lowered his head involuntarily, slightly sideways, and got closer to Xianjin, "Don't forget, the original team of Yingtian Prefecture that made my father's life worse than death, now all of them have remained the same except for the prefect - when Yingtian Prefecture tortured my father with water, were these people unaware? Is it possible? If they knew, why didn't they advise? Why didn't they report it? Why didn't they rectify the situation in time?"
"The current rulers respect my father as a person and advocate the study of the mind. Although the original group of officials in Yingtian Prefecture are not all in danger, it is impossible for them to make any progress without my father's understanding."
Qiao Hui explained it in detail.
Xianjin nodded thoughtfully, and to sum it up: You and I have not yet forgotten our grudges, so now that I have returned home in glory, and you, as someone who has offended me, have not received my forgiveness, how can you possibly make any progress? !
Therefore, today, whether in public or in private, Wen Fucheng forced, begged, and guided Qiao Fangzhi to show the side that was close to Yingtian Prefecture.
Xianjin sneered, "The former prefect was exiled thousands of miles away. Although he suffered, he still had all his limbs intact and acted properly..."
Qiao Huiyi sneered and shook his head gently, "No, no—"
Xianjin looked up at him and realized, when did this guy grow so tall? !
A whole head taller than her!
She is not short. According to her estimation, she must be at least 1.65 or 1.66 meters tall. This guy must be 1.9 meters tall, right?
Qiao Hui tilted his head and made an arrow shooting gesture with both hands in the air. He pulled his right hand back and gently hooked and released his index finger.
"Swish——" Qiao Hui simulated the sound of an arrow piercing the sky.
"On the tenth day of his exile, I caught up with the group, hid in a valley, and shot an arrow through both of his ankles."
The young man had a cold look in his eyes. He tilted his head and looked as cold as a torch. He stepped on the pine forest. The pine needles rustled softly, and there was a different kind of coolness like frost.
Xianjin was slightly stunned and opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.
