Molested Zulong at the beginning

Bai Su rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "It's lovely, it's a word."

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Bai Su in disbelief: "What... what!"

Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and she looked at Bai Su curiously: "Why is it a word?"

"Actually, the answer lies in this riddle. Whoever does business travels far away, and when he leaves, how can he get rid of the single person? The river rushes to disappear, but when the water runs out, it is okay to remove three points of water from the river. The white boat fights and the boat sinks. , the boat has sunk, and the rest is a disaster.”

Bai Su touched the clear water lightly with his fingers, and wrote each word on the table.

A look of amazement suddenly appeared on Sister Zheng's face. This topic seemed impossible to start with, but it was actually a simple word game.

After knowing the reason behind it, looking down again, it's not the same as what Bai Su said, it's a word of "ke".

Bai Su looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face: "How about the shopkeeper, am I right?"

The storekeeper stared blankly at Bai Su in front of him, and after a long time, he smiled wryly: "Young master is a great talent, the answer is just as you said."

what? !

All the people around looked at Bai Su with surprise, but they didn't expect to be hit by what he said.

What is the origin of this person?

Bai Su didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and looked at the store with a smile: "Now you can give me the things."

The shopkeeper shook his head with a wry smile: "Young master, please rest assured. I will let someone wrap it up for you. The small shop always pays attention to what you say, and you will never regret what you say."

After finishing speaking, he asked the shop assistant to carefully wrap up the hairpin, and respectfully delivered it to Bai Su's hands.

Surrounded by envious eyes, no one thought that the answer, worth a thousand dollars, was in the mystery.

Why didn't I think of it just now, otherwise the hairpin would be my own now.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions and the smile in the shopkeeper's eyes, Bai Su couldn't help thinking to himself, this shopkeeper is so shrewd.

To put it bluntly, it's just a propaganda of buying horse bones with a lot of money.

On the surface, he lost hundreds of pennies, but in fact, he made a big publicity for his store in the whole city.

What happened today will become the talk of the people after dinner, and slowly spread through the mouths of the people, making his shop famous, and will definitely attract a lot of ladies from aristocratic families, and rich men come here one after another, naturally it is not a loss.

Bai Su shook his head, thinking in his heart, businessmen are really smart people.

He picked up the hairpin in his hand, walked slowly towards Sister Zheng, and said with a smile on his face, "Fortunately, I brought it back for you."

"Look at his husband, how kind he is to his wife, I want it too..."

A young woman tugged at the young man next to her, and looked at Sister Zheng enviously.

Daxia's guards who were among the surrounding crowd heard that someone dared to slander His Majesty, so they reached for the dagger in their cuffs, ready to take it off.

Sister Zheng raised her slender eyebrows, and waved lightly to the guards outside. The guards paused, and then hid in the crowd again.

Her phoenix eyes looked at Bai Su in front of her again, and she was a little surprised: "This is...for me?"

Bai Su nodded with a smile: "Miss Zhao has been busy for so long, but she has nothing in her hands. It would be a bit impolite to go back here. Anyway, this hairpin was bought for nothing. If Miss Zhao doesn't dislike it, Just take it."

Sister Zheng was stunned for a moment, her phoenix eyes looked at the exquisite hairpin in her hand.

She grew up so big, and it was the first time someone gave her such a gift, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Although the material of this hairpin is quite ordinary, it is not so ingenious, but with the riddle just now, there is such a small episode, it seems quite interesting.

After all, she hasn't received any serious gifts since she took the throne.

The last time someone came to give a gift, it was Jing Ke who came to Xianyang to present her a map.

Sister Zheng came back to her phoenix eyes, smiled and said: "Then I will accept this thing."

The night is getting darker.

A small head protruded from the bedroom, its eyes of different colors blinked like two orange-blue gems.

"Mother hasn't come back yet."

The girl walked in generously, her delicate body spread out on the soft phoenix couch, and she let out a long sigh.

She was wearing a red skirt with a tight girdle, outlining a slender willow waist, a pair of white and slender jade legs, and exquisite jade feet, as if coated with pearl powder, exuding a pink halo, as if perfect like artwork.

People can't wait to play it in the palm of their hands, and they won't get bored after playing for a year.

The girl is none other than the current little princess Hu Yan.

For some reason, she secretly went to Bai Su for help, but was seen through by her mother, who said she was opportunistic, and punished her for copying "Five Beetles" a hundred times, and she was not allowed to go out if she didn't write it.

This made her, who has never liked reading, feel like dying for a while, and she has only written it sixty times until today, and she really can't bear it.

She wanted to come over and ask Sister Zheng to act like a baby, so she didn't write the rest, but Sister Zheng was not at home, which made her feel helpless.

"What are you thinking? I heard your sigh from a long distance away." A female voice came from afar.

Hu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and looked back, only to see Sister Zheng standing in the distance, looking at her with a funny face.

With a happy face, she ran over quickly, and threw herself into Sister Zheng's arms: "Mother, you are back, where have you been, and it has been so long since you came back."

Sister Zheng stroked her soft hair: "Some things need to be dealt with."

"Hey, I always feel that today's mother, there seems to be something different, mother has changed the hairpin?"

Hu Tan blinked his eyes with strange colors, and suddenly saw Sister Zheng's black hair rolled up high, with a delicate jade hairpin pinned to it that he had never seen before.

A strange look flashed across Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes, and then her expression returned to normal: "Well, how do you feel about changing your mood recently?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to be the same as the pattern in Xianyang Palace. It's very special. I want one too." Hu Yan said coquettishly, holding Sister Zheng's arm.

Sister Zheng thought for a while and said, "After two days, I will ask the craftsman to carve one for you."

There was a touch of joy on Hu Yan's face: "Mother is the best."

She put her arms around Sister Zheng's arm and walked towards the bedroom, muttering about what happened in the palace.

But she didn't notice that the delicate jade hairpin on Sister Zheng's head, reflected by the candlelight, reflected a faint green halo and landed on her head.

From a distance, it looks very unique.

Chapter 30 The son is really a wonderful person

After Zheng Jie returned to Xianyang, she began to reorganize the government affairs in a drastic manner. Through labor relief, cloth and food as compensation, people from the six countries were encouraged to serve.

In promoting the method of making tofu and brine, order fields in various counties and counties to alternately plant soybeans, corn, wheat and other crops for fertile land.

At the same time, an order was issued to let the local governments take the lead in casting a certain amount of stone mills every month, and temporarily lease them to the local people at a very low price, so as to facilitate the popularization of stone mills among the people.

For a time, there were much more government affairs than before.

Even the sister Zheng created a special review system. The imperial court formed a group of officials who would go to various counties and counties every once in a while to check the recent work of local officials.

Those who complete the goals assigned by the court will be rewarded heavily, and those who fail to complete will be punished in proportion.

For a while, officials from all over the world were dizzy by this combination of punches by Zheng Jie, and couldn't help cursing their mothers in their hearts.

I don't know which bastard came up with such a bad idea for His Majesty. After that, I won't have many chances to fish in water.

But even though they scolded their mothers in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything.

After all, even the present-day His Majesty reviews hundreds of catties of memorials every day, and they are courtiers, who would dare to say no to them.

What's more, Great Xia has always had the tradition of the military merit system. The common people produced more food and were rewarded with titles, and the soldiers who killed more enemies were rewarded with titles according to their military exploits, thus creating the fierce reputation of the country of tigers and wolves.

Now that civil servants are also starting to lead a thrilling life, it seems reasonable.

For a while, officials from all over the world were full of resentment, and they all cursed this guy who offered the idea of ​​"blessing system" to His Majesty, and he will die in the future.

It is best to be tortured day and night, like an old bamboo shoot, draining the last drop of water.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Oh, strange man?"

A woman in a white skirt paused her steps, and a trace of curiosity flashed across her rather pretty face: "Is there any strange people I don't know in this land of the Three Jins?"

"This strange man is not from aristocratic background, but a great talent among the people. Miss Ji Liang, please see, this is the strange thing that man made."

A burly man with a huge hammer on his back took out an exquisite box from his arms and handed it to the woman named Ji Liang in front of him.

Ji Liang turned the rocker lightly according to the other party's method.

"The prime of life never comes back, and it's hard to get a morning again..." A boy's voice came out of the box.

A hint of surprise flashed across her almond eyes, this little box could actually speak.

The brawny man smiled and said, "How about it? It's interesting. I bought it for [-] Wen."

Ji Liang nodded lightly, playing with the box with his white jade hands, and said with a smile: "It's the first time Liang has seen such an ingenious utensil, even the Mohists back then were nothing more than that."

The strong man shook his head: "Not only that, this person is not only good at tricks, but also has unique insights into the affairs of the world, and is very funny, really interesting."

"Oh, to hear what you said, I'm quite interested, and I want to meet the great talent you mentioned."

"Miss Ji Liang, please follow me..."

The strong man took Ji Liang all the way to a noisy street, and saw Bai Su reading a girl's palm from a distance.

"Miss, I'm afraid your relationship is not going very well."

The petite girl suddenly looked nervous, ignoring the blushing of her hand being held by the handsome man in front of her, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Bai, what do you think I should do."

"Actually, it's not difficult, you just need to..."

Bai Su approached the girl's ear and whispered a few instructions.

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, she nodded, dropped a penny with gratitude on her face, and immediately turned and left.

"Yes, another order has been completed."

Bai Su crossed his legs, picked up the copper coins on the table, and began to count them one by one, humming a ditty.

Ji Liang looked a little weird, why does this person look like a charlatan in front of him, is it really reliable?

The brawny man walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "Master Bai is selling this phantom sound treasure box, why is he counting people's fates all of a sudden?"

"Oh, it's a sledgehammer."

Bai Su raised his head and saw that the person who came was his regular customer, so he sighed helplessly: "I can't help it, business is difficult, the young lady who plays the piano in the restaurant next door, the clothes on her body are getting thinner and thinner recently."

"These days are so introverted, if I don't learn a few more crafts, how will I make a living in the future."

"Hey, did you come here with your friends today? This young lady is a stranger, is she a stranger?"

Bai Su collected the money on the table, and looked curiously at the woman in white in front of her.

"My surname is Han and my name is Liang. You can call me Miss Han."

Ji Liangxing rolled her eyes, and immediately asked with great interest: "How did you find out just now that the woman's marriage is not going well?"

Bai Su chuckled lightly: "That's not easy. Just now, the girl was well dressed, and she was born rich and noble at first glance. And if such a young lady has any troubles in her heart, it's nothing more than a bad marriage or family affairs."

"Since she is able to wander the streets, it means that there is nothing wrong with her family, her parents are in good health, and there is no disease. Then there is only one reason for her frowning face. It must be that she has encountered some emotional problems recently."

Ji Liang's pretty face froze for a moment, then she couldn't help but nodded: "So that's the case, then what did you tell her just now?"

After pondering for a while, Bai Su said: "Recently, a young master is pursuing her, and she is also very attracted to that man, but because the other party comes from a poor family, she is a little worried. Does the other party like her, or is it for her family's money?" You came here, so you want to ask me, what should I do?"

Ji Liang's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of interest on his face: "Then how did you help her?"

Bai Su smiled: "I asked her to go back and change into a commoner dress, and tell the young master that her parents did not approve of their marriage, and she was willing to give up her clothes, give up everything at home, and fly away with him. "

"If the other party is willing, it means that the other party is indeed sincere. After this, they will let go of their doubts about each other, and their relationship will become more pure."

Ji Liang nodded, this is a good idea.

She suddenly asked again: "What if the other party refuses?"

Bai Su chuckled, and said: "That means the other party is not sincere, but came here to seek family property. Faced with such a hypocrite, it is better to leave as soon as possible."

Ji Liang looked at Bai Su strangely: "Is this your way to let a young girl face the ugliness of human heart?"

But Bai Su shrugged: "It's not that I made him ugly, I just tore off the surface, that seemingly glamorous coat, and the reason why I see the ugliness is because it is ugly in the first place. "

"Emotions are like a sand dune. As the wind blows over the surface, those glamorous and bright, slowly reveal their true colors. If you treat them sincerely from the beginning, then the answer you get must be a sincere answer."

"But if you use hypocrisy from the beginning, you will definitely get a disappointed answer."

Ji Liang couldn't help but nodded: "To be able to say such profoundly insightful words, could it be...you also had a heart-wrenching story?"

She was touched by Bai Su's words for a moment, she looked over curiously, and couldn't help asking.
