Ten stone rice, two baskets of green seasonal vegetables, ten kilograms of mutton, two fat rabbits, two pieces of silk, and two silk clothes. When the Dengfeng County Bureau sent these things to the thatched house, Du Shisanniang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard the bamboo shadow's return. In particular, she was even more annoyed when she learned that only two servants were coming to deliver the things. However, before she could speak, another sound came from outside the house.

"Is this here to sell rice, or vegetables, meat and cloth? They are so embarrassed!" After a sneer, the voice suddenly increased a little, "Du Shijiu, are you here? If you don't say anything, I won't sue you!"

Du Shisanniang heard a movement in the inner room, and then saw her brother walking out from behind the plaid fan, and walked straight to the door and tucked the bamboo curtain high. She followed Du Shiyi's raising her hand and looked up, and saw the boy in the yard wearing a thin knot robe. Although she had seen Cui Shiyilang several times before, every time she saw the face that was more beautiful than herself and her phoenix eyes, she always had the illusion of looking at a woman, and it was no exception at this moment.

"What a rare guest. Brother Eleven has found this place!"

"Why, it's not welcome? Don't forget that you still owe me more than a dozen chunks of money to collect ducks. I don't care whether it's related to the county bureau, I just know to ask you for it!"

"Brother Eleven is a rare guest, why would I not welcome it? Please come in, the house is simple and negligent." Hearing these words as if Cui Jianxuan was a little unreasonable, Du Shiyi smiled and immediately turned sideways and asked him to come in.

As soon as Cui Jianxuan entered the door, he swept the various bamboo furniture in the room, and his eyebrows were raised. When he saw Du Shisanniang who had no time to retreat, he was stunned. He was a boy and a girl, so a few days ago, he saw Du Shisanniang dressed in men following Du Shiyi. He thought that the Du family also had a handsome servant, but now Du Shisanniang dressed in women's clothes, but naturally there was only one answer.

"This is the sister-in-law Thirteenth Lady. She was worried about being around because I was traveling outside before, so I couldn't resist her and could only let her dress up in men's clothes. Brother Eleven must not show off."

Du Shisanniang was uncomfortable by Cui Jianxuan's eyes. After bowing, she stepped straight to the inner room. However, just a thin paper lattice fan, Cui Jianxuan's words from the outside were still inevitably transmitted: "Is this the sister who kneeled down and begged to Songyang Temple in order to cure you? No wonder she could touch the King of the Underworld. It was really a sincere heart. If it were the daughters of other families who did not leave their homes, they would not be stunned for the moment, because they were afraid that they would burn their skin like snow! If they were brothers and sisters, they would be good!"

He looked at the paper plaid fan thoughtfully. Although he couldn't see what Du Shisanniang looked like at the moment, Du Shiyi thought that the little girl would never feel happy about being praised. Maybe she was just worried because Cui Shiyilang was so quick. Thinking that the servant sent by Dengfeng County Bureau outside just now seemed to escape from a snake and scorpion when he saw Cui Jianxuan, he raised his eyebrows and immediately invited Cui Jianxuan to sit down. Then he sat cross-legged in the main seat, and then asked, "Why did Brother Eleven come today?"

"Can't you come if you're fine?"

Cui Jianxuan snorted lightly, and saw a beautiful young maid sending water to him. He glanced casually, took Tao Zhan and took a sip to his mouth, and then said, "You are the prodigy who is famous for writing poems and essays in Fanchuan. I am too lazy to go this trip today. Du Shijiu, tell you the truth, do you know why the county magistrate Qian Lu had to drive you back to the thatched hut to recuperate?

These days, the debate on locust plague in the court has finally settled. Yao Gong won a great victory. Even the envoy of Ni Bianzhou, who had once resisted the most fiercely, could not stand it, and he had to lead the crowd to catch locusts himself after receiving the article from the Political Affairs Hall. In the past two days, a censor sent by the court was about to arrive in Dengfeng. At this moment, my seventh uncle and the county magistrates and chief clerks of the county office were all accompanying him around in all villages and eight miles. Otherwise, when the censor personally inspected the fields, if someone was busy in front of you, the contribution they had to fight against locusts would be gone!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Shisanniang suddenly heard an uncontrollable low exclamation from the back of the slap. Du Shiyi was not surprised when facing this reasonable answer: "So that's it. Since the court is working hard to cure locusts, it seems that there should be no hunger this year."

Cui Jianxuan stared at Du Shiyi for a moment. Seeing that he looked back calmly, he couldn't help but ask in disbelief: "Aren't you angry?"

"If it were the Eleventh Brother, I would ignore it and take the villagers to show their power in front of the censor, so that people can see that Dengfeng's destruction of locusts is all due to my own contribution?"

Seeing Cui Jianxuan nodding without thinking, Du Shiyi immediately knew that he had asked the wrong person. Cui Shiyilang obviously had this kind of temperament. So he couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Brother Eleven has followed me these days, and I must have seen the difficulty of catching locusts and killing locusts.

Even if I have worn out my mouth, there are still people who are reluctant to do so. I was ordered by Ming Gong to lead the county office. If I rely solely on my own, no one will listen to me. Now that the court has sent a censor like this, there will inevitably be more people who respond, and the result will naturally be better than our meager power. If you do good things, you do not necessarily need to be praised and rewarded, not to mention that there are eleven brothers who come to stand up for the wrongdoing. This is already an unexpected surprise!"

"Who said I'm here to defend you?" Cui Jianxuan raised his phoenix eyes and eyebrows, but in Du Shiyi's smile, he finally said with a stern look, "I'm just watching you do your best these days, so I'm here to remind you. Since you don't care, what do you have to do with me?"

Although he was a little disgusted with Cui Jianxuan at first, when he saw such a noble young man from a noble family who looked like a girl, he ran with him in all neighborhoods. Even though he was unforgivable, Du Shiyi's impression of him had already changed. Seeing that he was still in the same old habit, he couldn't help but laugh and said in silence: "That's what I'm saying. By the way, Brother Eleven seems not a native of Dengfeng, and I don't know how long it will take to stay in Dengfeng?"

"What, may you, Du Shijiu, think I'm reluctant to leave and want to issue an order to expel the guest?"

"Brother Eleven, has anyone ever said that your mouth is too mean?" Seeing Cui Jianxuan's angry face turned blue, Du Shiyi sighed, "Forget it, I'm not good enough, I have to beat around the bush with you, a straightforward person. Should I ask you, are you here to travel around the mountains and rivers in Dengfeng or visit old people? Why do you have so much spare time to fight with me to destroy locusts? Now that someone has taken over this matter, what are your plans?"

Cui Jianxuan was about to get angry, but when he heard Du Shiyi's later words, his sudden fire suddenly came to an end without a trace, and said in a muffled voice: "I am not from Dengfeng, I come from Dongdu, but I am temporarily sent to the county office. My grandmother asked me to study at Lu Haoran, the place of Xuanlianfeng, but I was not interested in writing poetry and essays at all. I followed you around, but I just passed the time! I heard that Lu Haoran was very strict with his disciples. If I couldn't stay and was driven back, it wouldn't be a shame for the Cui family..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly told the biggest concern in his heart. He was very upset and couldn't help but stand up and said, "Okay, I came to see you today to tell you what the censor came to Dengfeng. Since you don't care, I will have a chance. Du Shijiu, we will have a date later!"

"Hey, come on, go on, go on, you think of me as a place!" Du Shiyi suddenly stood up and stopped Cui Jianxuan before he could turn around and go out, and then said with a smile, "It would be fine if you don't mention the Lord Lu of Xuan Lianfeng. Since I mentioned it, I happened to find someone to discuss. Brother Eleven, I'm just recommending you, and I'm hesitating whether to go to Xuan Lianfeng to see the Lord Lu of Xuan Lianfeng. However, studying is of course my wish, but first, my sister and I depend on each other for life and don't want to leave her behind. Secondly, my temperament... is just like you, and I can't stand it."

"What you said seriously?" Cui Jianxuan looked at Du Shiyi suspiciously, and saw that he pressed himself on the seat just now. Then he came to the bookcase in the corner. After bent down for a moment, he walked over and handed it to him. Seeing that the ink mark on the bamboo tube clearly showed the ink on the bamboo tube, Brother Lu Haoran personally opened it, and the signature was Sima Ziwei worshipped two lines, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Is it the recommendation of Master Sima of Shangqing Sect?" After receiving Du Shiyi's nodding reply, Cui Jianxuan's expression was extremely strange, "It's such a coincidence... My grandmother persuaded me to ask for it for me. It was the recommendation of Master Puji of Songyue Temple in Songshan. Our recommendation is one monk and one Taoist, one is the Zen ancestor, and the other is the Taoist sect leader. We are neither monks nor Taoist. It seems that we are brothers and brothers in difficulty!"

Speaking of this, Cui Jianxuan was full of spirits: "Go, why don't you go? If I were really alone, I would go out and visit various prefectures and counties in Henan Province, and then go back to Dongdu. At worst, I would have to eat the family rules of my grandmother and grandmother. But since you have you, let's just go and see the charm of the Lu Gong's indifferent nobleman tomorrow! If it's not right, we'll come back quietly. At that time, I will also build a thatched house near you, and we live next to each other. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

If you really live next to you, wouldn’t you be clamored to death by you?

When Du Shiyi saw Cui Jianxuan make a decision without authorization, she couldn't help but get angry. However, thinking about not letting Sima Chengzhen down on his recommendation letter, he nodded and said, "Well, then let's go tomorrow. I happened to take Thirteen Niang to relax."

"Then it's decided!" Cui Jianxuan stood up with a smile, flicked the corner of his vest and said, "I'll let someone drive here tomorrow morning. By the way, no matter how far apart the noble girl on the streets is, she doesn't even have a veil, and she takes her maid to play around. There is no difference between men and women at all. Your Thirteenth Lady doesn't have to be so restrained. The 72 peaks of Songshan are all summer resorts, so you just take the opportunity to have enough fun!"
