Xie Muyu naturally didn't believe it and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are making fun of me."
But Gao Xiuer covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister, your husband's words are indeed true. When I first met him, sister, his hair couldn't grow more than a few inches for you."
At that time, Liu Ziqiu had just traveled through time and picked up Daniel's clothes. If it weren't for the headscarf wrapped around his head, that hairstyle would be really unusual. After all, in this era, people pay attention to the body, hair and skin, and who is influenced by their parents.
Don't shave off the hair easily either.
Liu Ziqiu also thought of his days in the army. Not because of his bald head, but because of his lack of integrity, he really missed it. He couldn't help but take off Xie Muyu's hat and gently touched the small bald head, which made Xie Muyu look ashamed.
Hong, I wish I could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Gao Xiuer had to cough again and asked: "Sir, are we going back to Changshan Village?"
Changshan Village can be said to be the birthplace of Liu Ziqiu. However, now that Liu Ziqiu has become the emperor, he naturally rewards the villagers very generously. Nowadays, those villagers no longer live in Changshan Village, and Changshan Village has also been transformed into Jiangnan Village.
It was a station for troops. Even the Changshan Car and Horse Company was disbanded, and all personnel were integrated into the newly established military post system. Many people became post officials in various places. Although Changshan Village has many memories of those years,
But without the villagers, Changshan Village can no longer be called the real Changshan Village, so Gao Xiuer doesn't really want to go back.
In fact, Liu Ziqiu had the same thought. He waved his hand gently and said, "I'm not going back. Let's just go to Piling County for a walk."
Of course, he could decree that the original people of Changshan Village should continue to live in Changshan Village to create an atmosphere of the past. But this decision is too selfish. After all, it is an eternal truth that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places.
, even if the current generation of people in Changshan Village still miss it, their next generation and the next two generations will eventually leave there. So what Liu Ziqiu has to do is to try his best to help these villagers arrange a good home, instead of imprisoning him in
That small village.
Gao Xiuer asked in surprise: "Husband, why are you going to Piling County?"
Indeed, the most memorable places for them in Jiangnan are Changshan Village, Yanguan County and Yuhang County, but they rarely come to Piling County, and even the opportunity to pass by is not right.
Xie Muyu has been living in the south of the Yangtze River. Although he has never been to Piling, he has heard about the local customs and customs here. He couldn't help but whisper: "Does the emperor want to visit Taihu Lake?"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "No! Let's go to Yixing County."
Although Yixing is also on the edge of Taihu Lake, it is just a small county town. Xie Muyu asked strangely: "Your Majesty, what are you doing in Yixing?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled: "It will be kept secret for now. We will know when we get there."
…
Because there were many carriages in the team, the speed was naturally slow. But Liu Ziqiu's original intention was to see the suffering of the people. If he walked slowly, he would be able to discover many things that could not be seen from the memorial, which is just right.
His thoughts. Only Yu Shinan had the task of persuading Liu Ziqiu to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, and he was a little anxious.
The team stopped and went and arrived at Yixing half a month later. Liu Ziqiu did not enter Yixing County. Instead, he set up camp outside the city like he did in Xiayi, and then ordered people to find the Yixing County Magistrate.
Zhou Chao, the magistrate of Xing County, is over 50 years old and is a legacy official of the Sui Dynasty. In Yixing County, Zhou Nai has a common surname and is said to be the queen of Zhou Chu, a famous general in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Chao saw the waist card shown by the imperial guard, and did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly came to the camp outside the city. Outside the camp, Daleng stopped him and revealed Liu Ziqiu's identity. Magistrate Zhou was shocked and hurriedly reorganized
Clothes and hats, once you enter the big tent, you will be greeted by a shout of long live the mountains.
Liu Ziqiu raised his hand and said: "Get down quickly. Magistrate Zhou, I am calling you here this time because I have something to help you with."
Zhou Chao couldn't help but feel flattered that the emperor could personally handle the matter, and he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict. I will not hesitate even to the death of you!"
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "It's not that serious. I just asked you to find something. However, I have a request. This time I go to Jiangnan for a private visit incognito. You are not allowed to reveal the fact that I came here to anyone. Just
Not even your wife and children!"
Zhou Chao bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will never dare to reveal a word! I wonder what your Majesty is looking for?"
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "What I ask you to look for this time is a kind of soil. This kind of soil is only found in your Yixing County. It comes in red, purple, black and other colors. The pottery pots made with this kind of mud have many pores.
.”
Zhou Chao thought about it carefully and said: "Your Majesty, I have been in Yixing for many years and I don't seem to have seen the kind of soil your Majesty mentioned."
Liu Ziqiu looked at the map and concluded that this is Yixing in later generations, and the name of Yixing County is also similar to the pronunciation of Yixing, so it must be unmistakable. Thinking of this, Liu Ziqiu added: "There must be this kind of soil in Yixing, but it has not been discovered yet.
It's just a discovery. Arrange more manpower and search, especially in the nearby mountains, and dig more. If it doesn't work, just dig deeper. I'm here waiting for your news!"
These last words were the greatest encouragement to Zhou Chao. He repeatedly said that even if Yixing County was turned upside down, he would still find the kind of soil Liu Ziqiu wanted. Of course, Liu Ziqiu revealed his identity in order to make Zhou Chao
Being able to do things with all his heart, so as not to be deliberately perfunctory. After all, if you want to find something locally, you still have to rely on the local government. However, Liu Ziqiu finally warned him not to affect the normal life of the local people, which also equaled a problem for Zhou Chaoyue
.
…
As soon as Zhou Chao left, Liu Ziqiu slowly walked back behind the screen. Behind the screen, only Xie Muyu, wearing a long gown, stood there, looking like a handsome young man. She could hear clearly what Liu Ziqiu and Zhou Chao said just now. Seeing Liu Ziqiu come in,
A blush appeared on Xie Muyu's face, and she was a little excited: "Your Majesty, are you looking for the purple clay pot?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, you don't need to call me the emperor. Either call me brother, or call me husband like Xiu'er."
Xie Muyu lowered her head and called softly: "Husband."
In fact, she and Liu Ziqiu were not officially married, and Liu Ziqiu did not canonize her. But ever since Liu Ziqiu rescued her from danger that day, she knew that she had been thinking about this guy who seemed to be a bit rogue. However, this rogue guy was very interested in her.
She is really nice. In order to help her find a purple clay pot, she went all the way to Yixing, and it seems that she will stay here for a long time. You know, this scoundrel is not an ordinary person, he is living today.
!The moment she heard the conversation between Liu Ziqiu and Zhou Chao, Xie Muyu completely opened her heart.
"Yu'er," Liu Ziqiu gently took Xie Muyu into his arms, "your tea ceremony is the best in the world, but you still lack a suitable tea set. When I find purple clay for my husband, I will definitely summon the best craftsmen to make it for me.
You refine a set of purple sand tea sets that is unique in the world."
Xie Muyu was suddenly startled and whispered: "I hope your husband will take state affairs as your top priority and never lose your mind by playing with things."
"Come, sit down and talk." Liu Ziqiu pointed to a couch behind the screen and said, "Don't worry, my husband knows what's appropriate. The country is not my country alone, and the country's major affairs cannot be entrusted to me alone.
Mr. Wei and the others have the final say in the court, so I just have to grasp the general direction. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and suitable for growing tea. If purple clay can be found, it will also be of great benefit to promote the tea ceremony and promote the development of tea.
It will bring huge wealth to the people in Jiangnan."
Xie Muyu hesitated for a while and finally sat next to Liu Ziqiu.
At that time, the Hu bed had already been introduced to the north, and many aristocratic families had such furniture. The so-called Hu bed was actually quite similar to a chair, but it was simpler. Some children of aristocratic families also liked to sit on this kind of Hu bed in their back houses, but
In front of outsiders, they always have to maintain a certain kind of foundation and must sit on the floor. The Xie family in Jiangnan seems to have even greater requirements for this kind of foundation. There is not even a Hu bed. However, Liu Ziqiu ordered it to be built
Those chairs are very different from Hu beds. You can still maintain an elegant posture while sitting on them. These new chairs can already be accepted by aristocratic families like the Xie family. Because Xie Muyu suffered from rheumatism, he was also willing to
Sitting on this kind of chair, but being squeezed onto the same sofa with Liu Ziqiu, so close to each other, still made her feel embarrassed.
Liu Ziqiu took off Xie Muyu's hat and couldn't help but sigh. For more than half a month, Xie Muyu's head was already a green color. This refreshing short hair was exactly what Liu Ziqiu longed for. In fact, he was full of envy in his heart.
.
Xie Muyu couldn't help but panic again: "Husband, is this slave's appearance ugly?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "What's so ugly? It's not too late for me to like you. Come here and give me a kiss."
Xie Muyu felt ashamed, lowered her head and muttered: "It would be bad if Sister Xiuer saw it."
Liu Ziqiu glanced at her and suddenly said: "Xiu'er is really your sister."
Xie Muyu said in surprise: "Husband, what do you mean?"
"Xiu'er is your cousin, and her mother is your aunt." Liu Ziqiu began to talk about Gao Xiu'er's life experience and various experiences. He was a little excited when he mentioned that he and Gao Xiu'er were together in life and death in Luoyang.
Finally, Liu Ziqiu said: "Xiu'er's experience is very painful. Don't mention it in front of her. From now on, get closer to her more."
This is the first time Xie Muyu has heard the story of Gao Xiuer. In the past, she only thought that Gao Xiuer was a villager in Changshan Village. She is the daughter of a wealthy family. Facing an ordinary villager, she naturally has a deep sense of superiority. Even if that villager
After becoming a queen, it was difficult to win her true respect. But after hearing this story, Xie Muyu's mind really changed. This was not because Gao Xiuer was also of noble birth, but because Gao Xiuer and Liu Ziqiu had been dependent on each other for life and death. This
This life-and-death dependence is much more touching than her act of becoming a monk to protect her innocence. After this comparison, Xie Muyu finally lowered her arrogant head and truly accepted Gao Xiuer from the bottom of her heart.
