Chapter 111

Everyone else has left, but Han Tao is still there. He obviously has something to say. Xu Yi turned around to look at him and invited him to the study room next door.

"If Han Guijie has something to say, you might as well say it directly." This time, Xu Yi did not follow him in circles.

It was only a few hundred miles away from Han Tao to Yanting County. It would not be a bad thing to find only one person at such a long distance.

I just don’t know whether Han Tao approached him because his surname was Xu, or for another reason.

The other party had something to say, but he didn't speak. Xu Yi waited and was not in a hurry.

He didn't have to attend a doctor's appointment today, so he ate a lot of oil and meat at the table, and now he was drinking tea slowly.

After a while, Han Tao seemed to have made up his mind and asked after careful consideration: "Doctor Xu, years ago, did you ever treat a pregnant woman?"

Lang Jun and Mrs. Jiang tacitly understood this matter and never mentioned it to the outside world. , only said that there was a doctor named Xu. But as a follower, he felt that this matter was caused by Mrs. Yang.

That day, Mrs. Jiang took a mule cart to Yinping County. Only Mrs. Yang was waiting on her on the way. No one else in the house knew it, but he knew some inside information.

Mrs. Yang has always regarded herself as the husband's nurse and half-master, taking the filial piety of the inferior girls and servants at will and making a lot of money. She had never been happy with her husband's bride, and she was often neglectful in private. It would be better if he didn't find out about this. If he knew about it...

thinking about Mrs. Yang being reduced to an ordinary rough mother-in-law, it must be Something happened that Lang Jun couldn't tolerate.

Pregnant? Is your status not low? ?

Xu Yi quickly thought of the mule cart blocking the ox cart that day on the outskirts of Yanting County, and the young woman with a flat tire in the carriage.

He could think of this person, so what else didn't he understand? The person the other party was looking for was actually him.

However, many unexpected things happened due to a combination of circumstances.

Xu Yi had a weird look on his face and said, "What's wrong with this?"

"No, there's nothing wrong." When Han Tao heard his answer, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He guessed correctly.

If Xu Yi answered "no", then the doctor named Xu was not Xu Yi, but Xu Yi did not deny it.

Since there is no denying it, the doctor Mrs. Jiang met at that time was actually Xu Yi.

After all the twists and turns, luckily he told what he knew, otherwise, there would still be no clue about the matter.

Han Tao sighed and said, "I finally found the person. Doctor Xu, don't blame me for hiding it. It's true that there was something inside that I couldn't tell."

Xu Yi shook his head. Since it's not a bad thing, there's nothing to blame.

"I wonder why Han Guijie came here this time?"

Han Tao said sincerely: "Firstly, I came here to send a thank you gift on behalf of your husband. Secondly, I wanted to ask Dr. Xu if he could go to Yinping County with me for a medical visit. ?"

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was a big deal. He raised his head and looked at Han Tao: "Looking at the time, Mrs. Jiang should be giving birth."

Han Tao's eyes gradually brightened, and Xu Yi was indeed pregnant. What's so awesome: "Yes, Madam is going to give birth next month. She just feels a lot of discomfort in recent days. She has asked several doctors to take a look, but they can't tell why."

"Isn't it worth the gain rather than the loss in favor of the far away at the expense of the near? "Xu Yi frowned.

Han Tao was stunned. The two counties were more than two hundred miles apart, but this job was ordered by Lang Jun. As a servant, he didn't dare to talk.

Xu Yi suddenly said: "Han Guijie, you know that I have just moved into a new home."

Han Guijie: "..." How could he not know? No one would want to travel far away in this situation.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Doctor Xu. If Doctor Xu is willing to go, I will definitely reward him heavily." Han Tao lowered his eyes, stood up and bowed.

The moving matters are all over, and Xu Yi doesn't need to spend much thought on the next thing. It's rare for him to have any free time during this period. He has nothing to do, but he has something on his mind.

I have always wanted to leave Yanting County and take a look outside.

Magistrate Han asked him to visit a doctor, which became an opportunity for him to go out. Xu Yi paced back and forth in the study, thinking a lot, and finally nodded.

Choosing to take this step will make the rest of the journey much easier. Han Tao said that he will be well prepared for everything needed during the trip, and Xu Yi only needs to bring a medicine box.

However, Xu Yi didn't want to leave with him in a hurry. He wanted to wait for his friends to leave for the state capital before making preparations.

Seeing this, Han Tao couldn't help but said, "Why don't we go a little further?"

"Huh?" Xu Yi was slightly stunned.

Han Tao said: "We are going back on this trip. One part of the trip is the same official road as going to the state capital. I see that Dr. Xu has a very good relationship with these friends, so I think he is willing to go."

Xu Yi only knew where to go. There are very long roads in Yinping County, more than 100 kilometers, and even by mule cart, it takes several days to travel.

Will you be able to make it in time when you arrive?

In fact, Han Tao himself didn't know it, but he had to act like this under orders.

The incident happened so fast that Xu Yi didn't even react. Today was the day for Xing Yuesen and the others to set off for the state capital.

Han Tao hired a spacious mule cart, which was enough for Xu Yi to travel with him for several days. In the carriage, Xu Yi sat cross-legged on a soft cushion. On his left side was a bamboo cage more than half a meter wide, which contained pills, powders and medicinal materials that Xu Yi thought might be used on the road.

He lifted the car curtains and looked at the houses that were gradually retreating.

As the car swayed slightly, his eyes moved and fell to the front.

The front is getting closer and closer to the gate of the county town, and there are more vehicles leaving the city than before.

Han Tao said next to him: "There are many students in Yanting County, and they will set off for the state capital in the past few days."

"Yes." Xu Yi responded softly, and did not look away until several mules appeared in front of him. Car, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

After a while, the vehicle stopped and Xu Yi came out and looked at his friends waiting for him.

Friends had been waiting for a while and were very happy when they saw Xu Yi.

As soon as everyone arrived, several cars drove out of the city side by side.

Xing Yuesen and the others brought several servants and guards. Xu Yi saw Wang Huyuan in the crowd.

They didn't speak. When the car stopped for a break and had a meal at noon, Wang Huwei came over with a piece of roasted rabbit meat and gave it to Xu Yi.

"Doctor Xu, I didn't expect to meet you during this trip." Wang Huyuan said, put down the barbecue and left.

Xu Yi asked him, "Are your scars still there?"

"It's all healed. With the ointment you gave me, there are almost no traces left." Wang Huyuan said, rolling up his sleeves to show him.

There were only a few faint marks left when the wild dog scratched him. The wounds were to the flesh and blood. It was impossible to be completely scar-free.

It's good to be able to return to this state.

After chatting for a few words, Wang Huyuan returned to the guard team.

They were walking on the official road, which was not difficult. After a long bumpy ride, Xu Yi would come down to get some air.

On the way, they also saw many students walking on foot carrying book boxes and luggage.

People like Xing Yuesen and others who travel with servants to protect them are just rare, and more often than not they endure hardships just for the sake of success.

When Xu Yi and Xing Yuesen communicated, they learned that in order to encourage Sichuan sergeants to take the imperial examination, the imperial court had not only issued edicts to increase the number of scholarships in Sichuan and increase the admission rate, but also provided examination funds.

"Those who go to take the exam on foot can pass the recommendation, and the government will give them public travel coupons. With this coupon, they can be exempted from the cost of food and accommodation along the way."

Xu Yi was confused: "You don't have a recommendation?"

Tao Qinghao said. Face laughed out loud: "If we all go to recommend, then the officials won't get more money?"

"Qinghao, be careful what you say." Xing Yuesen glared at him.

Tao Qinghao quickly closed his mouth.

Xing Yuesen said: "A gentleman has a right approach. The imperial court implements this policy for the sake of poor students. It is best for us merchants not to get involved."

It is more than a hundred miles away from Yanting County to Tongchuan Prefecture. They are very We hurriedly traveled, and it took us two days and one night to reach Tongchuan Prefecture.

Halfway through the journey, the mule cart Xu Yi was riding in had to part ways with them.

"The road to Yinping County is far away, not as good as going to Tongchuan Prefecture." Xing Yuesen said with concern, "I'm afraid you will have to work hard on this journey."

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. I'll sit in the carriage on the way. You still have to bear the burden of the hard work."

Xin Shengyuan said: "Xu Yi, when you arrive, remember to write to us."

Tao Qinghao said: "My family has a semicolon in Yinping County. If you want to write a letter, you can go to the storekeeper of the semicolon. , It will be faster if there are carriages and horses."

After he finished speaking, he took out the waist badge engraved with the Tao family seal from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xu Yi.

"I'll put this thing on you for now. The shopkeeper of Semicolon will treat you well when he sees this badge."

Xu Yi was very grateful, but did not take his badge. This thing that represents status should not be used as a token. Okay, but he still said: "I will write you a letter as soon as possible after I arrive in Yinping County."

Han Tao, who was listening to them talking, suddenly said: "There are still four days of travel, gentlemen, don't worry."

Xing Yuesen and others all looked at him without saying a word.

If it hadn't been for this person, Xu Yi wouldn't have suddenly traveled far.

They didn't speak, so Han Tao could naturally tell that these young men were dissatisfied with him. He turned his face and touched his nose. As servants, they could only bear the burden of being resented.

Xing Yuesen wanted to leave him a servant, but Xu Yi refused.

Xu Yi is not a young man, so he doesn't need these servants. Besides, Magistrate Han's invitation to see him this time is a secret. With the servants around, it's hard to say anything between him and Han Tao.

...

For the rest of the journey, the handlebars drove the mules and horses to the fork in the official road, and they continued to move in the other direction.

Han Tao cupped his hands to Xu Yi and said, "Thank you so much, Doctor Xu."

"What do you want to thank me for?" After a few days of getting along, Xu Yi felt better about him and was no longer as polite as when we first met.

Han Tao said: "Thank you very much, Dr. Xu, for not saying anything wrong about your husband in front of those gentlemen." Those young gentlemen are all students who participated in the interpretation test. One day, I am afraid that they will be officials in the same court as your husband. In the middle, it is better to make fewer enemies. Although this is not the case, caution is the best.

He has followed Lang Jun for many years and still understands this truth. Lang Jun was an official outside and acted in a flamboyant manner, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among some county officials.

They just wanted to find fault with Lang Jun. How could Lang Jun let these people succeed?

And as the husband's follower, he can't hold him back.

"Magistrate Han is an official, and I'm just a commoner, so I shouldn't dare to criticize him." Xu Yi lowered his eyelids and said softly.

Han Tao said: "There are no outsiders here. Doctor Xu can say anything he wants."

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and said "Oh", but did not really say anything.

He looked outside through the curtains, as if thinking of something, he said aloud: "Is there a river along the way?"

"Well, it's two miles away." Han Tao didn't know why he asked this, but he still answered.

Xu Yi sighed: "I want to eat fish."

They filled their stomachs with water and dried steamed buns for two days in a row. Xu Yi tasted bitter in his mouth. Before setting off in the morning, he made himself a pot of mint and chrysanthemum tea.

Han Tao had never drunk chrysanthemum tea with mint before, but it felt fresh after drinking it.

When he heard that Xu Yi wanted to eat fish, he didn't hesitate. He opened the heavy curtain of the carriage and shouted to the handlebar outside: "Go to the river."

"Okay." The handlebar shouted in response, grabbing the fish in his hand. Holding the rope, patting the backs of the mules and horses, driving the carriage toward the trail.

About a quarter of an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the river.

Several women who were starching and washing clothes heard the noise and looked up in panic.

Seeing the young husband emerging from the carriage, they looked at each other and continued to starch the clothes in their hands without much interruption.

Xu Yi didn't expect that women from the village would come here to wash clothes. He looked around and asked Han Tao, "Can you catch fish?"

"No." Han Tao answered truthfully.

Xu Yi's eyes widened: "You don't know how to catch fish, why did you ask the driver to stop?"

Han Tao said: "Although I don't know how to catch fish, Dr. Xu, if you want to eat fish, I will try it."

Xu Yi fell silent. .

What is it like to watch someone who can’t catch fish catch a fish? Xu Yi said that he did not want to watch it a second time.

Han Tao rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and went directly to the river. Before long, most of his clothes were wet.

Even the women who were washing clothes nearby came to watch curiously. They looked at Xu Yishan, a young man who had not yet reached his crown, and asked him what he was doing.

Xu Yi: "..." He also wants to know.

"Is this gentleman catching fish?" Finally, a woman saw the clue.

"Is this fishing? Is this how you catch fish? If you two gentlemen really want to eat fish, you can come to our village to buy it."

"There is a fish seller in our village, and the fish he catches are the fattest. "

When Xu Yi heard this, he felt it was very reasonable. He was waiting for Han Tao to catch fish or go to the fish farmer to buy fish. Xu Yi chose the latter without hesitation.

He walked to the river and shouted to Han Tao: "Han Guijie, the water is cold, you better get up first."

"I will catch the fish soon."

Han Guijie was very confident and felt that he would be able to catch it. to fish. Xu Yi gave him a few words of encouragement and told him to go and have a look at Yuhu.

Han Tao was half-immersed in the river, dazed. When he realized what he was doing, Xu Yi had already left with the women who had washed their clothes.

He quickly got up from the river and wanted to follow, but found that his clothes were soaked and clinging to his body, which was really unsightly, so he went back to the carriage to change clothes.

When he came out, he could no longer see Xu Yi.

...

Xu Yi followed the women to the village and looked at the simple thatched houses around them. The villagers here were poorer than those in Yanting County.

Halfway along, someone looked at Xu Yi curiously and asked the women who they were.

The women didn't know Xu Yi's identity, but they looked like a scholar wearing a decent plain robe with wide sleeves and a headscarf.

In recent days, many scholars have passed by their village, and the women don't find it strange.

However, Xu Yi still held up his hands and said, "I am a doctor from Youfang."

"A doctor? It's a doctor!" A child with a small bandage shouted.

Others also looked over.

"You are a doctor, can you treat our village chief?" A woman asked worriedly.

Xu Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet the patient halfway.

"Is your village chief sick?"

"We are far away from the county seat, and the doctors in the county are not willing to come. The village chief has been lying in the house for several days, unable to get out of bed."

"If I want to see a doctor, I have to go back and get it first. Medicine box."

"No hurry, I'll take you to buy fish first, and I'll go back to get the medicine box later."

Xu Yi nodded, really not in a hurry.

He followed the woman to the fish farmer's house. The fish farmer was drying dried fish in the yard, and there was a strong smell of fish floating around.

When the fish farmer heard that Xu Yi was coming to buy fish, he came over with a wooden bucket half filled with water, placed it in front of Xu Yi, and asked him how many fish he wanted to buy.

Xu Yi looked at the fish in the bucket and picked a plump carp. He weighed it two pounds and eighty taels. The fish farmer charged him five cents.

After returning with the fish, Xu Yi saw Han Tao anxiously waiting for him outside the carriage.

Seeing that he came back safe and sound, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and hurried over: "Doctor Xu, why did you leave without waiting for me? What should I do if there is an accident?"

"There will be no accidents . ." Xu Yi said firmly.

Han Tao thought he thought the folk customs were simple, so he whispered to him: "It's important to be on guard against others."

Xu Yi smiled, without further explanation, and gave him the fish he was carrying: "Can you cook fish?"

"..." Han Tao was stunned, and then said uncertainly, "Not really."

Xu Yi was stunned: "..." If not, what kind of fish would he buy?

Fortunately, Xu Yi and Han Tao couldn't cook fish, but the woman who came with them could.

Hearing that they wanted to eat fish, he volunteered to cook fish for Xu Yi and others.

The woman smiled and said, "I've cooked fish for you. Doctor, you have to see a doctor for the village chief."

"See a doctor?" Han Tao, who was confused after hearing this, looked at Xu Yi suspiciously.

Xu Yi told him what happened before buying the fish.

Han Tao said: "It's time to go see a doctor, Doctor Xu, let's go there now."

The village woman led them to a thatched house and asked them to wait for a while. She put the fish in the water, and then took Xu Yi and the others to the village. Long family.

The village chief's house was not much better than other houses. When the woman came with people, there were other people in the house.

"Ms. Chun, why did you bring someone here?" When the old woman inside saw her, she put down her work and stood up.

The woman called "Chun Lady" said: "Auntie, look who I brought you. It's a passing doctor. He's here to treat the village chief."

The old woman hurriedly led the way into the dark back room. Shaking his hands, he lit the only candle in the room.

A cluster of light lit up, illuminating the withered face of the old man lying on the bed. His eyes were deeply sunken, his chapped lips were tinged with lavender, and his mouth was trembling unconsciously. He was already in a semi-conscious state.

Xu Yi quickly stepped forward, opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, and quickly felt the pulse of the old village chief.

Soon, he concluded from his pulse that the old village chief had been poisoned.

"What have you eaten these days?" he asked the old woman next to him.

The old woman shook her body, shook her head and said, "I haven't eaten anything."

Thinking that the hibernating poisonous snakes in the mountains had all woken up to look for food, Xu Yi asked again, "Have you gone into the mountains?"

"If you have gone into the mountains a few days ago, you will not be able to do it after you come back." He has been lying down and can't wake up no matter how he screams." The old woman replied to him.

Xu Yi pondered, lifted the quilt covering the village chief, and checked his ankles and legs.

Then, when Xu Yi took off the socks on the old man's feet, he discovered that the toes were purple, red, swollen and deformed, with two vague blood bags bulging on them. Judging from the size of the blood bags, they looked like the teeth of a poisonous snake. print.

Xu Yi's brain was spinning rapidly, ruling out deadly venomous snakes such as Bamboo Leaf Green. The venom of this kind of venomous snake would be fatal within a few hours of being bitten.

If someone can be bitten by a venomous snake for four or five days and still not die, then it is a venomous snake that is not deadly enough, but as for what kind of snake it is, Xu Yi cannot tell.

He asked the old woman if there were non-lethal venomous snakes in the mountains in this village.

The old woman didn't know that there were people in their village who went up the mountain and came back unconscious or vomiting incessantly. In serious cases, the whole leg was rotten and the person died.

"Is this bitten by a poisonous snake?" Han Tao stood far away, but when he saw the wound, he still subconsciously thought of something.

Xu Yi nodded: "It's a venomous snake, but unfortunately I don't know what kind it is."

He didn't dare to delay, and told the old woman and Han Tao that he would go up the mountain to dig up herbs that could detoxify snakes.

"It's very dangerous." Han Tao was worried about him and wanted to go with him.

Xu Yi said: "I have snake repellent medicine on me."

Before leaving, Xu Yi debrided the village chief's wound, cut off the rotten and necrotic flesh inside with a knife, and stopped the pus flowing out. Crush garlic into garlic residue, apply it to the wound, and then wrap it with cotton cloth.

Han Tao was stunned when he saw such a scene. When he looked at Xu Yi's face, he didn't see any panic or fear.

But looking at Xu Yi's figure, Han Tao was worried that he would go up the mountain alone, so he still wanted to follow him.

"I am a doctor. I am more familiar with the terrain of the mountains than you. If you follow me, I will still take care of you." Xu Yi said directly and bluntly.

The corner of Han Tao's mouth twitched, but Xu Yi quickly left the house and went up the mountain with a machete.

Seeing him holding the knife, his aura suddenly changed, and his expression became a bit colder, which made him feel that if he punched, Xu Yi would catch it steadily.

How he could have such an idea is really strange.

...

Xu Yi did not go up the mountain blindly. He first went to the foot of the mountain closest to the village. At the foot of the mountain, he found several medicinal herbs that could detoxify.

When he entered the mountain, he could hear the chirping of birds from time to time in the quiet forest. Xu Yi looked around and ran straight in one direction. Halfway through, I encountered traces of a snake passing by, so I stopped and looked around. Soon I found the commelder plant.

Commelina can detoxify snake venom and cure coma. Xu Yi dug it up without saying a word and quickly went down the mountain.

After returning with the herbs, Xu Yi asked the old woman how the village chief was doing.

The old woman choked and replied: "I haven't woken up yet."

"Grandma, don't panic, I'll try to detoxify first." Xu Yi said calmly.

In fact, he was not sure. If he had been hit by the snake venom not long ago, he would have been 90% sure that he could successfully detoxify it. Now, he was only 30% sure.

Seeing that the old woman was already over fifty years old, he swallowed these words silently.

He borrowed the village chief's small stove to wash the whole Commelina plant and boil it in a clay pot, and then added other auxiliary medicines such as honeysuckle and isatis root.

Both honeysuckle and isatis root have detoxifying effects, so Xu Yi considered increasing the dosage.

After the medicinal soup was cooked, he took a silver needle to prick the village chief, stimulating his Baihui point and causing him to wake up briefly.

Xu Yi supported him and poured the medicinal soup down.

After the medicinal decoction is taken down, the next step is to wait for the medicine to take effect.

Xu Yi did not wait in the village chief's house. The woman who cooked the fish for them came to find them. The carp was cooked and turned into carp with sauce.

"Thank you, Mrs. Chun." Xu Yi took out five copper coins and gave them to her.

Mrs. Chun was unwilling to answer: "You have already treated the village chief, so I will make a fish. It won't take much effort."

Xu Yi frowned: "Ms. Chun, all the sauce and salt used to make the fish belong to you. "

It's not worth a lot of money." Mrs. Chun waved her hand.

After eating the fish, the children ran over and shouted happily: "The village chief is awake, the village chief is awake."

Hearing that the village chief was awake, many people in the village came to visit and saw that the village chief was really When I woke up, I took turns to express some concern, and then I was kicked out by Mrs. Chun.

"Don't block the doctor. Let the doctor take a look at the village chief."

"Oh, we were negligent. Come on, doctor, let the village chief take a look. Are everything okay?"

The villagers dispersed and asked Xu Yi gave up his position.

Xu Yi stepped forward and took the village chief's pulse again. Seeing that the village chief's pulse had stabilized a little, his face showed joy: "The poison has been resolved, but the remaining poison is still in the body. I need to take the medicinal soup for a few more days."

"Thank you, doctor, thank you very much . Doctor..." After hearing this, the old woman cried and wanted to kneel down.

Xu Yi quickly stopped her with quick eyes and hands: "Grandma, no, I'm just doing a little work, I can't bear it."

"Dr. Xu, thanks to you, if you hadn't stopped the car to buy fish, the village chief would have been saved." Mrs. Chun's eyes were slightly red, and she was choking. said.

Many people in the village were usually taken care of by the village chief. Now that the village chief was bitten by a venomous snake, they discussed privately to get some money for the medicine soup.

A family in the East and a family in the West collected a total of 130 Wen.

Xu Yi looked at the heavy bag of copper coins in front of him, took a deep breath and took it.

He poured out five cents and another ten cents. He took the fifteen cents and returned the rest to them.

Xu Yi looked at the villagers who were staring at him in disbelief, and said with a smile: "I charge for medical treatment. Considering each person, these fifteen yuan are enough for today's medical treatment and medicine."

Xu Yi and Han Tao returned to After leaving the carriage, many villagers in the village stood by the river to see him off.

Han Tao, who saw this scene in his eyes, turned around and said to Xu Yi: "I said that Lang Jun and I came to Yinping County to take office. At that time, we passed through the disaster-stricken villages. Lang Jun gave a lot of the food he brought out to the disaster-stricken villages. "Mr. Han is a good official, "

Xu Yi said. "

Although I have never seen him, I have heard a lot about him." The day before departure, Pang Boyi sent Uncle Pang to invite him over for a talk, so he knew that County Magistrate Han was Pang Boyi's nephew.

Not only that, Pang Boyi also wrote a letter to him, asking him to meet a man named Master Gou in Yinping County and say hello to him.

The surname Gou is a well-known surname in Sichuan. It only has three characters: "Master Gou". Xu Yi felt that the probability of him meeting this Master Gou would be very low.

Therefore, whether he can meet this Master Gou depends entirely on luck.

Three days later, Xu Yi and Han Tao, riding in a mule cart, finally saw the ancient city gate of Yinping County.

Han Tao lifted the car curtain and said with emotion: "We've finally arrived."

In the second half of the journey, in order to catch up with the journey, they used the handlebars to speed up. Han Tao felt that his limbs were about to fall apart. He rubbed his sore buttocks. , looked at the people next to him with a keen eye.

Xu Yi had a trace of exhaustion on his face, but he was in good condition and looked towards the city gate calmly.

Han Tao had doubts in his heart: "Aren't you tired?"

Xu Yi looked at him: "Not bad."

Han Tao: "..."

He was actually compared to a doctor.

After the mule cart entered the city gate, they rushed directly to the magistrate's mansion without stopping in the city.

Along the way, Xu Yi's eyes kept falling on the streets on both sides. Yinping County and Yanting County were almost the same. The markets were very lively, with vendors shouting and doing business going back and forth. You could see teahouses, restaurants, and restaurants everywhere... you could meet them in all kinds of ways. .

Han Tao said with a smile: "After a few days away, Yinping County is still lively."

In front of him, Xu Yi praised his husband for his good governance, but Xu Yi couldn't hear it.

He looked away with a smile, pretending not to know. Smelling the fragrance that floated into the carriage, Xu Yi moved his nose and sighed: "I have been running around for several days, only smelling the fragrance of food in this market, and I feel a little hungry."

Han Tao For a moment, he remembered that they had only eaten wheat cakes today and nothing else.

He said embarrassedly and apologetically: "Why don't we finish the noodles first and then go back to the house?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Okay."

Only after eating a full meal did he have the strength to see the Han County Magistrate.
