Qin Zhao's carriage swayed into Qizhou City.
Cui Zhizhou and Mrs. Cui were waiting at the gate of the city together. The wind was a bit strong that day, and Mrs. Cui's hair was messy. She did not dare to open her mouth, otherwise her mouth would be filled with sand.
The soldiers guarding the city and the people on the street were all curious as to why Mr. Zhizhou and his wife had been standing here until a carriage slowly came.
Cui Zhizhou dragged Mrs. Cui and rushed to greet him. What kind of big shot was he? He asked Lord Zhizhou to pick him up in person. Many people didn't leave because they wanted to see what happened.
Cui Zhizhou's stomach was pounding. He saluted the carriage and said, "It's the Qin Zhuangyuan carriage."
The people were in an uproar. Cui Zhizhou actually saluted a champion.
Banli stabilized the carriage, Qin Zhao lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see Cui Zhizhou and Mrs. Cui, their faces were covered with dirt and their lips were dry.
"Cui Zhizhou?"
"Oh, he is really the champion of Qin. Look at my mouth, he should be called Qin Zhizhou."
Cui Zhizhou deliberately emphasized the word "zhizhou". Luzhou Zhizhou is not a good position. It is lower than the previous number one scholar. What is Cui Zhizhou doing?
Qin Zhao frowned, "Is there something wrong with Cui Zhizhou?"
"Hey, my family is unfortunate. Who would have thought that my wife would go behind my back and force us to divorce."
After saying this, he motioned for Mrs. Cui to come forward. Mrs. Cui was humble and polite, and apologized to Qin Zhao.
"Qin Zhizhou, I apologize for any offence."
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, looked at Mrs. Cui and then at the people gathered around.
Qin Zhao called Cao Xi out. Qin Zhao helped Cao Xi get out of the carriage. The two stood in front of Cui Zhizhou and Mrs. Cui.
Qin Zhao smiled and asked Mrs. Cui, "Mrs. Cui, please say it again."
Cao Xi understood clearly in the carriage that now that Cui Zhizhou and Mrs. Cui were causing trouble, they might not be sincerely apologizing.
Mrs. Cui clenched her back teeth and saluted sideways.
"I sincerely ask Qin Zhizhou and Mrs. Qin to forgive me."
Wow, there was another uproar among the people. I think the new champion does not look like a good person, and he actually forced Cui Zhizhou and Mrs. Cui to apologize in public.
But not? He deserves to be sent to Luzhou.
Qin Zhao ignored everyone and helped Cao Xi into the carriage.
"Cui Zhizhou, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
Qin Zhao ordered Banli to drive away.
Cui Zhizhou saluted the carriage and said, "Qin Zhizhou, go slowly."
.............................
Cao Xi and Qin Zhao returned home. The jujube tree is still the same jujube tree, and the small courtyard is as neat and tidy as when I left.
Cao Xi and Qin Zhao walked around the small courtyard before going back to the house to tidy up their things.
Because they only stayed for two days, the two of them didn't cook at home, so they went to the Malatang shop arm in arm that night.
“Dude, please give me two bowls of Malatang.”
I don't recognize Cao Xi, the shop assistant, but her voice is very penetrating.
The buffalo vaguely heard a voice that sounded like Cao Xi's, so he put down what he was doing and hurried out to confirm.
"Sister Xi, Qin Zhao is really you"
The buffalo were very excited. They didn't expect that Qin Zhao would come back to see them if he won the first prize.
Cao Xi smiled and joked, "Everyone is standing in front of you, how can you still be fake?"
"Come in, come in"
The buffalo led them to the backyard and said, "Xiao Rui, look who's here."
Xiaorui walked out of the warehouse after hearing the sound, and her eyes widened when she saw the person coming.
"Sister Xi, why is Brother Qin Zhao you?"
Xiaorui happily ran over and wanted to hug Cao Xi, but before she could get close, Cao Xi was pulled away by Qin Zhao.
Seeing Qin Zhao's expressionless face, Xiaorui curled her lips and said, "You're a stingy man, you can't even hug me."
Cao Xi smiled and patted Qin Zhao, and then said to Buffalo and Xiaorui: "Qin Zhao was granted the title of magistrate of Luzhou, and we can only stay in Qizhou for two days. We don't know when we will see each other again, so I want to get together with everyone. "
When he learned that Cao Xi was passing by, Xiu Niu hurriedly asked the waiter to gather everyone, have dinner together in the evening, and give Cao Xi and Qin Zhao a farewell by the way.
Li Feng came the fastest. Due to his hurry, his forehead was covered with fine sweat. He asked hurriedly as soon as he entered the house.
"Cao Xi, I heard that you are going to Luzhou City?"
Cao Xi: "Well, we'll leave the day after tomorrow."
"Can you not go? That place is always war-torn."
Li Feng was so anxious that he took a step towards Cao Xi, but was blocked by Qin Zhao.
The sight of Qin Zhao in front of him reminded him that he had crossed the line. Li Feng retreated silently and looked at Cao Xi for answers.
Cao Xi: "We have to go, Qin Zhao is the magistrate of Luzhou"
Li Feng's heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave, and it was completely cold.
Seeing his desperate look, Qin Zhao felt panicked in his heart.
Qin Zhao's eyes flashed with anger: "Li Feng, are you running so fast just to persuade me and my husband to separate?"
Li Feng: "Master Zhizhou is joking."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the others quickly made jokes.
Dayong and Dazhuang led their wives and came over to greet Cao Xi.
Cao Xi held the hands of the two wives and said, "It's a pity that we couldn't catch up with you when you got married."
The two lovely wives heard from their husbands that at such a young age, he took his fiancé out to make a living. They admire them from the bottom of their hearts for achieving today's results.
Da Zhuang smiled honestly, "Just because they didn't participate, did you bring them here to recognize them?"
Cao Xi: "I'm so happy for you"
Among the people in the Tutu Temple, only Li Feng and Xiaochuan were not married. I heard that Xiaochuan had already started preparing for the wedding.
Now that everyone has a smooth life and no longer worries about money, Cao Xi is really happy for them.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone had tears in their eyes and tried not to let them fall.
Cao Xi: "Dayong, Da Zhuang, you have always been in charge of the charcoal business. From this month on, you no longer need to give me the commission. Just treat it as a gift from me."
Dayong said hurriedly: "How can this be done? Without you, my two brothers would still be begging for food."
Cao Xi: "Don't talk nonsense, you are very good."
Cao Xi said to Li Feng again: "The Malatang shop's commission should also stop this month."
A tear fell from the corner of Li Feng's eye. He quickly turned his head to the other side and wiped it before looking back.
"Have a good party and talk about what to do."
Everyone knows that the departure of Cao Xi and Qin Zhao is probably a disaster. It's okay not to mention it, but Cao Xi's actions made everyone panic.
I don’t know if we will see each other again this time. Everyone was very sad when we parted, but life will not stop because of sadness.
Before Cao Xi left, he bought an old man from Renya, who was responsible for cleaning the house every day to ensure that the courtyard house was not damaged.
After explaining everything, Cao Xi and Qin Zhao got up and went to Luzhou.
.............................
The road becomes more and more bleak as we go, the fields turn into hillsides, and the canals turn into rivers.
Qin Zhao felt a little distressed when he saw Cao Xi stretching his legs and putting his hands on his waist.
"But tired?"
Cao Xi: "A little bit"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao asked Banli to pull over and tie up the carriage. He helped Cao Xi sit outside the carriage.
"You'll be walking after taking a break. Straighten your legs and I'll give you some pressure." He squatted down, lifted up Cao Xi's left leg, and pressed it with his fingers.
Cao Xi smiled as she watched Qin Zhao massaging her, "My arms are tired too."
Qin Zhao suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, after pressing your legs, I will press your arms."
"My shoulders and lower back are also tired."
"Press them all, don't miss any one."
Cao Xi reached out and rubbed Qin Zhao's head, "Why are you so nice?"
"Your hair is messed up," Qin Zhao complained, but didn't move his head at all.
