Xuanwei didn't understand clearly.

"Since the treasure has been pledged to Mr. Ju, why do you still say that Fu Zhuangyuan owes a sum of money to repair?"

Chu Yanmei glanced at her sideways, "Because the old guy followed these two disciples to the capital. As soon as Fu Suifang won the first prize, he immediately returned the treasure. But who would have expected... Only then did he return it to Fu Suifang. To make it easier to be reported for fraud.”

Xuanwei pondered for a moment and asked: "Ju Lao was also in the capital at that time? How did he react to his disciple being accused of fraud?"

"Then how do I know? Anyway, looking at his appearance, I've probably concluded that Fu Suifang committed fraud from back then." Chu Yanmei sneered, "You want to go back to the Criminal Division? Then I'll take you back. I want to go somewhere else. , calm down."

She is such a girl who is easy to sympathize with. Xuan smiled and said, "Then I want to go too. I wonder if Miss Chu would be willing to be my guide?"

Chu Yanmei wanted to say that she must not be happy, but she didn't know why, so she spoke reluctantly, "If I don't go to any fun place, I will go back to my hometown, Shuicun, and take a boat ride."

"That's great, I want to go too." Xuan Wei was extremely happy, "I've never experienced it before."

Chu Yanmei turned her head in a low voice, "Are you all so arrogant that you never leave the house?"

"It should be so." Xuan said with a smile, "That's why I usually climb over the wall when I go out, instead of going through the main gate."

"?" Chu Yanmei turned her head and looked at Xuan Wei behind her, who was still graceful even though she was riding a horse with her legs apart, with a ghostly look in her eyes, "Climb over the wall - you?"

"Yes." Xuan smiled playfully, "How else would I learn these things needed to handle cases?"

Recalling that when I was still at home, on the surface I was still the model of a well-behaved girl, who only read poems and poems, and only learned the female red harp. But secretly, I secretly climbed over the wall and left home, studying autopsy and solving crimes, and secretly studying medical classics. Prison journal, recalling and writing down the autopsy experience.

That’s right! How did a noble lady learn these things? Chu Yanmei immediately asked: “How did you learn these things? Who did you learn them from?”

"Study if you need it." Xuan Wei said with a rare arrogance, "You have an older brother to take you to the Criminal Division as a trainee, and I also have an older brother to lead me over the wall to see strange cases."

Huh? Chu Yanmei wanted to ask again, but when she saw that she was very close to the river, there happened to be a small boat that was about to row across the shore, so she hurriedly urged her horse to speed up.

"Lin Bo Lin Bo!" She jumped off her horse and greeted loudly, "It's me! Can I sit on your boat and enjoy the river breeze?"

The boatman yelled and tied the rope to the wooden railing on the shore, "It's Xiaomei? Come up, come up."

Chu Yanmei shouted "Okay" and was about to run over. Suddenly she remembered that there was someone else on the horse and hurriedly went back and pulled Xuanwei off the horse.

"Did you bring a friend?" Boatman Lin Bo wiped his sweat and smiled as he watched the two girls board the boat hand in hand, "Xiaomei has made a friend, very good, very good."

Sitting firmly on the boat, Chu Yanmei released her hold on Xuanwei's hand and did not deny it. She curled her lips and said, "Uncle Lin, you are talking as if I had no friends before."

Lin Bo's simple face smiled kindly: "No, it's just that our Xiaomei is more like her name, like a plum blossom. Ordinary girls don't dare to be friends with you for fear of being compared to you."

Xuan Wei felt strange when he heard the two talking and asked Uncle Lin: "Old man, are you literate in reading?"

It's not that she looks down on people, it's that it's surprising that a boatman who is out rowing and fishing every day has such a rude tone in his words.

"I know a few and have read a few." Uncle Lin looked at her with a smile, "In our water village, every household will know a few of them and recite a few sentences. Girl, you may not know that the scholars who came out of our village are all famous.

It has the most number of villages among all the villages in Taozhou."

Xuan Wei was surprised, "It turns out that your village is still a bookish village on the water."

Chu Yanmei proudly hugged her chest: "That's not true! My brother is still the first in the village. He won the ninth place in the Asian Yuan in the provincial examination and the top two in the palace examination! He is also good at both civil and military affairs, and he is an upright and honest official——

It’s the pride of Shuicun!”

So that’s it. Xuanwei nodded in surprise, sitting on the edge of the boat and enjoying the river breeze, looking around with twinkling eyes.

This is the Jiangnan water town.

This is a relatively peaceful narrow river, probably a small branch of a larger river. There are two rows of wooden houses with raised roofs neatly built on both sides of the river bank, close to the water bank. When you go out and go down a few stone steps or wooden ladders, you can get water for washing and cooking.

meal.

There are red couplets with writing on the doors and windows of every house. The writing may not be very beautiful, but it can be seen that it is neat and orderly. In the small windows set up in many houses, the sound of reading aloud and clear can be heard.

It seems that the reading atmosphere is really good.

"What is that courtyard?"

When they reached a place, Xuanwei pointed to a house with Hui style walls on the bank that was different from a wooden house.

"It's the school in our village." Lin Bo looked over and replied happily:

"Every year, dignitaries come to the school to provide books or improve facilities, or invite village magistrates to teach and answer questions. Occasionally, students from the village who have passed the exam come back to teach."

It's so good. Xuanwei sighed, it is really a very warm village.

"My brother is one of the people who comes back often!" Chu Yanmei was proud, "In recent years, my brother has been taking the lead in funding school reconstruction and other things!"

Xuan Wei was a little enlightened - before going out to the banquet in the morning, she and Luo Yihe wondered why Chu Su lived so frugally when his salary should be quite high... So that's it.

Others returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, but Chu Su brought the way of fine clothes back to his hometown.

Get out of the mud without forgetting your roots in the mud, and feed back with your own body.

He is worthy of being the fifth among the seven guards selected by Luo Yihe.

Xuanwei stopped talking, just quietly feeling the slightly cool spring breeze of the river, looking at the mundane fireworks but beautiful and pure scenery on both sides of the river bank.

Later, Lin Bo and Chu Yanmei were rowing leisurely and humming songs.

"The birds are chirping early in the morning, and I am chewing the words while turning the book;

"The sparrows flying over the eaves chattered and asked, "Why can't Xiao Lang stop thinking about it?"

“The reeds are swaying in the wind, and the sweet-scented osmanthus branches are falling!

"Auspicious clouds surround the countryside, and crabs have hairpins on their heads!"

Xuan Wei smiled leisurely and swayed slightly to the tune of the chant.

It is really full of simple and sunny country folk atmosphere. I never thought that one day, she would sit on such a simple boat, listen to such unpretentious songs, pass through the reed beaches, and the breeze will bring waves of light fragrance.

The scent of cinnamon in spring. I just don’t know if she has a chance to see the auspicious clouds in the countryside and the crabs in the water...

…

…

Crab?

Xuanwei's smile gradually stopped.

Reeds, osmanthus, auspicious clouds.

Reeds, osmanthus, auspicious clouds.

besides……

Crab?

"Uncle Lin." She suddenly turned around, stared at Uncle Lin and asked, "How did this second ballad come about?"
