The county yamen has changed a lot. It used to look like a dilapidated one, but now it has been reformed. The yamen gate has been repaired, the uniforms of the guards at the gate have been changed, and the plaque has been changed, which says "the mirror is hanging high".
Ye Xiaoxian went in with Xiao Baoshan. When they got to the backyard, they only smelled the smell of stewed duck.
Yao county magistrate said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao Hou has been in Beiqing for a long time. I heard that Beiqing people only eat all kinds of beef and mutton, and there are few chickens and ducks, so the officer ordered people to stew chickens and ducks."
Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile, "Yao county magistrate is very thoughtful."
"That's right. I wish Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao would give me a reward."
After sitting down, ye Xiaoxian sat next to Xiaobao mountain. Yao county magistrate poured them tea. Ye Xiaoxian took a sip of local mountain flower tea, which she proposed to the villagers to plant in large quantities.
Ye Xiaoxian chatted with Yao county magistrate: "just walking in the county, I found that there are obviously more people on the street. Presumably, under the management of Yao county magistrate, the people in Mobei city have had a good life?"
County Magistrate Yao said humbly: "In the final analysis, it's Mrs. Xiao Hou's credit. I'm also a villager who manages it in your way. The first batch of crops were produced a while ago. Good guy, the output is four or five times higher than that in previous years. People say that planting their own land is hard work, so they receive a lot of public food. Mobei county has lived a day when everyone has food."
Ye Xiaoxian nodded and then said, "the crops have improved. Next, we need to develop other things, such as fruits, camellia and livestock, so that the people's life can be better."
Yao county magistrate agreed.
After a while, the dishes came up.
Yao county magistrate warmly greeted Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian to eat. Yao county magistrate also asked Ye Xiaoxian hesitantly: "Mrs. Xiao Hou, you must have suffered a lot in Beiqing..."
While eating, ye Xiaoxian said, "I didn't suffer much. After I was captured, I was taken to the capital, and then went into the palace to cook for their little emperor and Empress Dowager Xiao."
"That... That's OK." County Magistrate Yao seemed to be sweating.
Ye Xiaoxian always thought his performance was strange.
But now she was hungry and had no mind to ask any more, so she didn't bother to delve into it.
……
Halfway through the meal, ye Xiaoxian wanted to go to urinate, so she told Xiao Baoshan and Yao county magistrate that she wanted to go for convenience.
She used to come to Yamen and knew where the toilet was, so she didn't need company.
This is the county yamen, and there will be no danger.
However, when I was about to come out, I only heard two women talking outside:
"Mrs. Xiao Hou really came back."
"She still has the face to come back. She has been captured by Beiqing people for so long. I don't know if she is innocent?"
"Xiao Hou is simple and honest. He actually brought her back. If he replaced her with another man, I'm afraid he'll kill her there."
"Alas, a woman who has lost her virginity is the most disgusting. I don't know how long Hou Xiao can bear her."
“……”
After listening for a while, ye Xiaoxian originally wanted to rush out to argue with them, but she suddenly thought that if she really rushed out, the matter would be magnified. It was equal to that there was no silver three hundred Liang here.
No wonder Yao county magistrate asked her how she was doing in Beiqing just yesterday. It turned out that she was worried that she had been insulted there and slept with other men. If so, she would be wearing a green hat for xiaobaoshan.
She felt a chill at the thought.
She almost forgot that this was ancient times. The most important thing for women was not morality, not knowledge, but chastity.
She has been arrested for so long. She is still a woman. Anyone will speculate.
……
It was night that ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan returned to their house. The Mammy and housekeepers were surprised to see her back, but only surprised.
They are still respectful to Ye Xiaoxian, but they are less close and more sympathetic.
When ye Xiaoxian thought of the words of those people in the yamen, she had guessed a little. Presumably, they all thought the same and thought she was "dirty".
She asked her servants to take bath water, took off the clothes she had worn back from Beiqing, took a bath, changed back to her previous clothes, put on her previous jewelry, and then waited for xiaobaoshan in the house.
Xiao Baoshan also took a bath next door and shaved. When he returned to the house, he looked very energetic.
"Aren't the leaves cold?" Xiao Baoshan asked, "do you want someone to add a basin of charcoal?"
Ye Xiaoxian shook her head and said with a smile, "no, I've been in Beiqing for a long time. I'm not afraid of the cold before“
Xiao Baoshan sat down and caressed her hair with pity. His eyes were very affectionate.
Ye Xiaoxian's heart was gradually softened by his eyes. She couldn't help leaning against him and hugging him tightly.
They were on their way, and they had no time to talk.
Xiao Baoshan just hugged her.
Maybe they haven't been alone for too long. They both need some time to digest the strangeness in recent months, so they don't do anything now, just hug.
After a while, ye Xiaoxian asked Xiao Baoshan, "Baoshan, why don't you ask me what I experienced in Beiqing?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "no matter what you experienced there, you are incompetent for your husband and failed to protect you."
Ye Xiaoxian smiled and thought, what a fool.
She added: "today, when I was in the county yamen, I heard two people talking about me and saying that I was innocent. I'm afraid I've lost my virginity after being arrested for so long."
Xiao Baoshan immediately said, "don't listen to the nonsense of those people. You will always be an innocent woman in my heart."
Ye Xiaoxian looked at him: "do you really not doubt it? Or don't you mind at all?"
Xiao Baoshan stroked her face and remembered that before Jing Feng died, he talked about ye Xiaoxian's experience and said that she
In this moment of hesitation, ye Xiaoxian was a little sensitive. She disdained to explain, but now she also explained: "I was caught by Jing Feng's people that day, one named Qin Ming and the other named..."
She said about her experience in Beiqing. The key point was that she had not been defiled. She was innocent.
Xiao Baoshan also listened carefully all the time. At last, he took her in his arms with heartache.
If he really cares, he won't go all the way to find her, and he won't risk his life to save her.
They said they were tired, so they lay down and said. At last, they slept in bed with each other, but they didn't do anything.
