In the middle of June, there was a rainstorm in the capital, which lasted for five days. Many fertile fields and houses were flooded. The Ministry of work was busy dredging the sewers in the capital, and even the residence of Empress Dowager Zhuang was temporarily suspended. Marquis Gu was recalled and ordered.

The Ministry of household is busy helping the people to resume farming.

Some of the academicians who knew agronomy were also transferred to the countryside, and Xiao LIULANG was among the candidates.

The day before departure, he went to Renshou palace to say goodbye to empress dowager Zhuang.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang in the study looked at the fold and hummed: "it's not how far to go. It's only a day's drive. It's a crime to say goodbye!"

As soon as the words were over, Duke Qin came in with his baggage: "Xiao Xiuzhuan, I have collected all the things for you. The Empress Dowager chose them personally. The slave is going to send them to Bishui Hutong, but it happens that you are here by yourself!"

Xiao LIULANG looked at the two bags full of things and then looked at his aunt.

Oh, what about saying goodbye?

Empress Dowager Zhuang glared at Duke Qin!

Duke Qin angrily touched his nose: "Oh, I remember that I still have several books to read! I'll go first! "

Then he ran away!

"When will we start?" Asked empress dowager Zhuang.

"Tomorrow morning." Xiao LIULANG said.

"Who else is there besides you?" asked empress dowager Zhuang

Xiao LIULANG said: "Wang Xiuzhuan, Li Xiuzhuan, Yang Shidu."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "come here."

Duke Qin stepped in and said, "what do you want, Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "there are several volumes of scriptures to be copied here. Go to the Imperial Academy and ask Mr. Yang to read them."

"No, auntie." Xiao LIULANG said, "how can you kill a chicken with an ox knife? I can handle it. "

Empress Dowager Zhuang thought about it. She really couldn't protect him too much. It's the nature of the other side to use this kind of fish and shrimp to practice for this boy.

"Is dinner ready?" Empress Dowager Zhuang asked Duke Qin.

Duke Qin said with a smile: "I'm waiting for the Empress Dowager to pass on your meal!"

Xiao LIULANG had dinner with empress dowager Zhuang at Renshou palace, and then he planned to leave.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "I've been sitting at home all day. I'm just going out for a walk."

Duke Qin is sincere. Just say that you want to see Lord Xiao off!

Xiao LIULANG lips slightly hook: "good."

They went out of Renshou palace.

A rainstorm not only flooded half of the capital, but also flooded many parts of the imperial palace. Fortunately, Renshou palace is the most powerful one. All the water has been dredged, and the roads have been filled up. All the way to the gate of the imperial palace is smooth.

The Huaqing Palace is also open.

Today, the setting sun is beautiful and the weather is cool. Princess Jing is sitting on a sedan chair with a canopy. She is wearing nun's clothes and hat, which is out of place with this gorgeous sedan chair.

Princess Dajing has been resting in Huaqing Palace since she was injured. After a rainstorm for several days, the imperial doctor said that she could not stay in the bedroom all the time. She should go out for a breath.

So the emperor had her carried out in a sedan chair.

In order to accompany Xiao LIULANG, Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't sit in her own Phoenix.

The two sides met unexpectedly. On the contrary, imperial concubine Jing was superior.

"Big"

The Duke of Qin just wanted to scold. Why didn't he get off the sedan chair when he saw the princess?

Xiao LIULANG opened his mouth before him. He gave a ceremony to meet a monk: "abbess Jing'an."

The face of the palace people around Princess Jing Shua changed.

What is abbess Jing'an? This is Princess Jing!

Even his majesty called her consonant princess!

Static Princess look unchanged.

Xiao LIULANG said: "Princess Jing has been away from the palace for a long time. After becoming a monk, she must have forgotten the past. This is the Empress Dowager."

Speaking of this, no one can help but salute empress dowager Zhuang.

"Get out of the sedan chair." Princess Jing raised her hand and looked at empress dowager Zhuang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang also looked at her.

Their eyes were so calm that no one could guess what they were thinking.

Mammy Cai stretched out her hand and helped Princess Jing.

Princess Jing took mammy Cai's hand and came slowly to empress dowager Zhuang. She made a Buddhist ceremony: "poor nun..."

Before she finished, Empress Dowager Zhuang left without looking back.

The body of static too imperial concubine salute is rigid over there, all palace people all saw her this instant of embarrassed and embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's aura is undoubtedly powerful and shocking. She doesn't have to despise anyone. She is born with the aura of being the best in the world.

"The princess..." the little maid of honor came up to help her.

Jingtaifei's eyelashes trembled: "I'm ok."

Empress Dowager Zhuang accompanied Xiao LIULANG to the royal garden. Xiao LIULANG stopped and said to her, "please go back, aunt. It's getting late."

"Well." Empress Dowager Zhuang answered faintly, looked into his eyes and said, "be careful in everything."

"I understand." Xiao LIULANG nodded, looked at the direction of Huaqing Palace and said, "Jiaojiao, please take care of her aunt."

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes and said, "I'm a lovely girl. I'll take care of her. I need you to tell me."

Xiao LIULANG chuckled: "then I'll go first."

"Well." Empress Dowager Zhuang watched Xiao LIULANG disappear at the end of the path before she turned around and planned to go back to Renshou palace. She found that Duke Qin was in a trance and glared at him! Let's go

Duke Qin sighed: "Xiao Xiuzhuan laughs... It's very beautiful..."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, of course, it's pretty. How beautiful is the little Marquis who was crowned zhaodu at the age of 13?

It's this kid who doesn't laugh.

It seems not right to say that. He used to laugh. When he was a child, he giggled so much that the whole royal garden was his voice.

It was the fire in the imperial college that burned his smile away.

Was the fire really an accident?

If Xiao Heng survives, who is the burnt corpse who died in the fire?

-

When Xiao LIULANG got up the next day, Gu Jiao had packed up his luggage. This was not the first time he had been away from home. It used to be an exam, but now it's an exam.

"Mosquito repellent incense is in this bag. Mosquito medicine, diarrhea medicine and carsickness medicine are in this sachet. There are also some fruits and dry food on the road."

Gu Jiao knows that he doesn't have much money on him. What he earns is either to pay rent or to do household work for her.

Gu Jiao had a hundred taels of silver bills, a bag of broken silver and copper plates in the innermost part.

Xiao LIULANG took over the burden: "the fastest half a month can be back, the latest will not exceed next month."

"Take care." Gu Jiao sent him to the carriage.

Liu Quanxian sent him to the Imperial Academy, and all the imperial officials went to the countryside in a carriage.

Xiaojingkong went to school and missed the farewell.

After Xiao LIULANG left, Gu Jiao went to the medical school and stayed all morning. Then she changed into a man's dress and put on a mask and went to Tai'an martial arts school.

I'm very busy these days. I haven't been here for a long time.

She has to recover as soon as possible. She doesn't want to run away from the dead man next time!

She's going to sack him!

Today did not encounter too difficult opponents, Gu Jiao played a few games will be out of the lack of interest.

She rubbed her wrist and went back.

Because some of the streets in the city are still flooded, she did not take the same road as before, but made a big circle. On the way back, she met the beggar who had set up the chessboard last time.

The beggar still covered his face with books as if he were asleep.

He had a different chess game in front of him.

Gu Jiao looked curiously, this time's chess game obviously has some difficulty, she did not like last time such quick solution.

She began to deduce in her mind. There are more than ten moves in this game, and each move will produce dozens of faces. Ordinary people can't deduce such huge data in their mind.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiao opened her eyes, picked up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard.

Just as she was about to leave, a thin old hand suddenly grabbed her by the wrist.

It's the old beggar.

Just now she concentrated on the chess game, did not realize that the other side has awakened.

The old beggar grabbed her by the wrist and said, "eh? Do you want to go after playing my chess? Don't you see what the sign says? "

It's a broken wooden sign that Gu Jiao once saw. It says ten Liang for a game.

"Oh." Gu Jiao reaches out her hand.

Looking at the empty hand, the old beggar was stunned: "what are you doing?"

"Don't you want to give me silver?" Gu Jiao pointed to the wooden plate, "twelve."

The old beggar gasped: "you gave me ten Liang!"

No, listen to the voice... Is this baby a girl?

Oh, it's not a chess game.

Gu Jiao misunderstood. She thought about it and said strangely, "but is this kind of broken chess worth ten liang?"

The old beggar almost choked to death. He pointed to the chess game on the ground: "what do you say? Break the chess game? Do you call this a broken chess game

Gu Jiao said innocently: "ten Liang silver is the living expenses of a family of ten in the countryside for two years. If you charge so much, at least you have to have something difficult?"
