"If you want to make porridge, you need to soak the rice in clean water for one night, then mix the rice and porridge evenly into the pot. After making this porridge, it will not only be soft and smooth, but also be fragrant and refreshing, and condition your body..." Pei Bei said this. He laughed, shook his head and said, "I can't remember much, either."

There was a bowl of porridge porridge in front of Xiao Buyi, which was fragrant. He couldn't believe that this bowl of porridge was made from Pei Bei.

Pei Bei really doesn't look like a woman who makes a pot of porridge, she looks more like a woman who makes a pot of porridge, but these days, she has changed so much that Xiao Buyi can hardly recognize her.

She still didn't remove her makeup, but she became a normal outfit. She was still a man, but she was not that annoying after all. Although she knew that Xiao Buyi was not the kind of man who focused on the appearance of a woman. But she still didn't want Xiao Buyi to see her haggard appearance.

"Why don't you drink?" Pei Bei asked anxiously: "But do you think my skills are not good?"

"I, I'm just smelling the smell." Xiao Buyi picked up the spoon and took a sip of the porridge. He smiled and said, "I have never drunk such delicious porridge in my life."

Pei Bei smiled as bright as the flowers, "Brother Xiao. I never knew before that there were so many ways to make porridge, and I never thought that I was happy to cook porridge."

After Xiao Buyi slowly finished drinking the bowl of porridge, he nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know if you want a bowl of porridge to prepare since yesterday. I never thought that I was also very happy to drink the porridge."

After seeing Xiao Buyi finish drinking the porridge, Pei Bei served another bowl for him. Xiao Buyi did not refuse and drank it again. Pei Bei did not serve the third bowl. He looked at Xiao Buyi and said, "It's good to eat at most 80% full. Overeating is not good for your health. You must remember it in the future."

"I really can't tell. If you don't become a killer in the future, you can also be a chef." Xiao Buyi patted his stomach and smiled.

"Although the weather is warm, I'm still a little shocked at night. You look careful and always careless about yourself," Pei Bei said again: "You need to pay more attention to this."

Xiao Buyi smiled a little reluctantly. Pei Bei ignored his smile and thought for a while. He smiled bitterly: "I don't know what else to tell you. I have never cared about others. I will go out to dig medicinal materials with Doctor Le in a while. Although the root of the disease has not been removed, I feel better recently and can do something simple. Doctor Le cares about me very much. Doctor Le has been teaching me the principles of health preservation. Step by step. I still can't climb mountains now, but the journey is getting farther and farther. I am no longer soft and have no strength. He asked me to collect herbs along. It is to exercise and enhance my physical fitness. I will go out to collect herbs this time. I will not come back at noon."

"I'll wait for you." Xiao Buyi finally said.

There was tears in Pei Bei's eyes. A smile was hanging on the corner of her mouth, "You don't have to wait for me, you should set off."

Xiao Buyi was silent. Pei Bei walked over to help Xiao Buyi tidy up her collar and looked left and right for a while. "You have been with me for too long. Now it's April. You must arrive in Jiangdu in early May. You can't delay any more."

"Maybe I can stay for a few more days." Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I can't bear to leave you."

Pei Bei raised her head and sighed quietly. When she lowered her head again, she finally suppressed her tears.

"I can't bear to leave you either. After I knew I was terminally ill, I just wanted to be with you all the time." Pei Bei whispered: "I know I'm very selfish. Because you have too many things to do. But I really can't bear to leave you. I'm just thinking, this is my last selfishness."

Xiao Buyi held Pei Bei's hand. "No one is not selfish, so do I, but things happen every day. If you want to do it, you will never be able to finish it."

Pei Bei also held Xiao Buyi's hand tightly. "But it's different now. I eat simple food every day. I cook trivial things in my daily eyes, but I can feel that my health is better day by day. I believe I will be better. So I can't pretend to be nothing but keep you by my side. I told myself that Pei Bei won't cry today. Brother Xiao, this bowl of porridge was prepared by me last night. I cooked for you today. There are some things that I know only you can do. I wish you a good journey."

When she said this, she still looked at Xiao Buyi. Although she was reluctant to leave her eyes, she had Juexiao. She didn't like to drag her back.

Xiao Buyi stood up slowly. "Then take care of yourself. Remember, I won the bet. I said I wanted to marry you. You are not allowed to be slapped."

Pei Bei jumped into Xiao Buyi's arms, hugged Xiao Buyi tightly, and whispered: "It's definitely not bad."

Xiao Buyi hugged Pei Bei's delicate body and sighed in his heart. He had been in this Taiping Village for more than half a month and had to leave. But he did not think that it was Pei Bei who proposed to let him go. Pei Bei said that she would not care about people, but he knew that she was more careful than anyone else.

I don’t know how long it took, Pei Bei gently left Xiao Buyi’s arms and whispered: “Brother Xiao. It’s time for me to leave.”

She didn't say that Xiao Buyi left, but just carried a small basket of herbs on her body and turned around and left the yard. But at the moment she left, she couldn't help but look back. Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at her, Pei Beiyanran smiled and said, "Brother Xiao. When you see me again, it's time for you to marry me."

When Xiao Buyi saw Pei Bei finally disappeared, he walked out of the yard and returned to his residence. He found that Sun Shaofang and others were all cleaning up and going on a long trip.

"What to do?" Xiao Buyi asked strangely.

"Brother Bei said yesterday that we will set off today." Sun Shaofang also said with some regret. "Sir Xiao, we should have set off."

"Boss Xiao, everything is ready." A Su said on the side.

Xiao Buyi already understood. Pei Bei did not say parting on a whim, but was prepared for it, "Let's go. It's time to leave."

"Boss Xiao, don't worry too much." Sun Shaofang comforted: "Although I don't know how to see a doctor, in the past half month, Brother Bei has seemed to be visible to all day long. Now he can recover from the illness with peace of mind. When we turn back from Jiangdu, Guanbao was a lively brother Bei."

Xiao Buyi sighed and said lightly: "Thank you for comforting me. Shao Fang, let's go."

Zhou Munu and Asu had already prepared everything, and everyone rode out of Taiping Village. Xiao Bunong was on the road and subconsciously turned back to look at the hill not far away. It was where Pei Bei and Doctor Le often collected herbs. He had a sharp eye and saw a person standing on the hillside. He looked at this side.

Xiao Buyi circled the horses and turned around. He just waved his hand and continued to move forward. Sun Shaofang and others were puzzled, but Xiao Buyi knew what it meant to climbing the mountainside for Pei Bei!

From the hillside of Pei Bei, everyone left the village. Finally disappeared. Then she sat down. Although there was sweat on her forehead, her expression felt joy and relaxed.

"You shouldn't actually climb so high today. You shouldn't be anxious to recover." Doctor Le looked at Pei Bei with a smile.

Pei Bei didn't look back, but just asked, "Doctor Le. You can be my grandfather, but have you tried to love someone and cannot be curbed?"

Doctor Le smiled and gently beat the soil at the root of a medicinal herb. He murmured: "Everyone has ever been young, and of course I am the same, so I am just persuading you, not dissuading you..."

Xiao Buyi stayed in Taiping Village for a while. Anyway, he was doing things cheaply. No one understood what he was going to do. He fulfilled his wish for Yang Guang. After all, few people knew about it. More people thought he was just going south to fight for the autumn wind.

After turning back to Liangjun, Xiao Buyi did not delay and continued to take a boat to the southeast.

Xiao Buyi did not see Yang Guang often toured south from the Grand Canal, but he knew that the opening of the canal greatly facilitated his land to move south.

The opening of the Grand Canal uses natural rivers and old channels, just like the Great Wall of Qin Shihuang. It inherits some of the previous land foundation. The canal is centered on Luoyang. It leads to Zhuojun to the northeast and extends to Yuhang to the southwest.

The Tongji Canal starts from the Xiyuan of Luoyang. It leads to the Yellow River. Then it dredges the former route of the Chidang Canal into the Huai River. It passes through Xingyang, Yongqiu and Liangjun. Xiao Buyi and his group go from Tongji Canal to Shanyang on both sides of the Huai River. However, they do not dismount and go down the Huai River directly. They turn into Hangou, one of the four sections of the canal. It was originally opened by Fuchai, Wu King in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yang Guang guides and expands it directly, connecting the Huai River and the Yangtze River. Xiao Buyi goes south and goes south to the Hangou at the end of the Jiangdu. However, the canal has not yet been completed when it reaches the Jiangdu. It continues to lead the Yangtze River from Jingkou to Yuhang. It is only after entering the Qiantang River that it is completed.

Xiao Buyi looked at the Yangzhou city blocks from afar, and felt that he was walking along the way. He was quite moved.

The canal from Luoyang to Jiangdu is more than 2,000 miles long. The length of the Yongji Canal is similar, plus the Hangou and Jiangnan River. The Grand Canal can be said to be a spectacular miracle that has never been seen since ancient times. The fourth section of the canal connects the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River. Through the six major regions of today's Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anwei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at this time, it was really a major artery of north-south transportation.

Xiao Buyi traveled southward along the main artery to Yangzhou City in Jiangdu County.

Yangzhou City stands beside the river, silently watching the busyness outside the city and the prosperity inside the city. Yangzhou City belongs to Jiangdu County. It is actually the most prosperous city outside the Sui Dynasty except Luoyang and Chang'an.

Because you go down the Yangtze River from Yangzhou, you can go to Ryukyu, Japan, and Nanyang overseas. You can bring back rare treasures in the Central Plains, such as rhinoceros horns, pearls, and ivory. Boli and other things, and the profit is quite high. The places used by merchants to exchange are just ordinary things in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, this place has always been like Zhangye. It is also a place where merchants gather.

Yang Guang has always attached great importance to overseas trade. After the early years of Daye, he often sent envoys to visit the terracotta and Nanyang, and traded with ordinary things from the Sui Dynasty such as silk, silk, silk, silk and cotton to exchange with overseas countries, and encouraged countries to visit and trade. Yangzhou is convenient for water conservancy. It is the most important trade frontier for the Sui Dynasty to overseas.

When Xiao Buyi arrived at the Guan Ferry outside Yangzhou City, the pier by the river was already full of ships of all sizes. There were officials and private individuals. In the prosperous and busy people could not feel any signs of war.

After the three large ships stopped, there was a dock receiving officials coming forward to inquire. Although the officials were arrogant, they checked the ships coming and going on the river very strictly. When they saw the size of the large ship, they knew that the arrival was extraordinary, and they had already changed into respectful faces.

When he learned that it was the Taipu Shaoqing who came to Kyoto, the receptionist was not enough to lick Xiao Buyi's big toe. Xiao Buyi didn't want to disturb too many people in the country and thought that he was a private visit. It was not necessary for everyone to know about the feng shui of a cemetery, just keep a low profile. Since he heard that Chen Xuanhua was frugal, he also persuaded Yang Guang to be frugal. He respected her very much.

In this era of men being superior to women being inferior to women, many women are just gifts. Even women in the gentry are no exception. Otherwise, Changsun Wugui, Li Caiyu, Li Meier and his loli’s prospective wife Yuan Qiaoxi would not be a bargaining chip to win over young talents. Although Chen Xuanhua was unfortunate, he did a good thing for the people of the world. Even if he was benefited, he could not help but be a rare woman.

Xiao Buyi felt that it would be better to do things according to the rules. Chen Xuanhua didn’t like extravagance, so he did so. He immediately said a few words to the reception officials. He quietly entered Yangzhou City with Sun Shaofang, Asu and others early.

He followed a lot of guards, all of which were restricted by Sun Shaofang. He went to the official Yangzhou City site to settle down first. But Xiao Buyi gave them some pocket money early, telling them not to alarm the people, otherwise he would be powerless if the emperor got angry.

Xiao Buyi was considerate and the guards said it was true. Everyone said that if someone was going to make trouble for Lord Xiao, there was no need to ask about it. Everyone would throw him into the Yangtze River to feed the turtles. Xiao Buyi knew that the guards were also ruthless and asked Sun Shaofang to take the guards out to play. But he brought Zhou Munou and Asu to travel to this capital of all ages.

‘Ten miles long streets and streets are connected. Look at the gods on the moon bridge’. ‘The 24 bridges are bright moonlit nights, where can the jade man teaches to play the flute? Thinking of these famous quotes that have been passed down through the ages, Xiao Buyi was full of yearning for this place with two-part bright moon land in ancient times.

The two-part bright moon is the praise of Yangzhou. The fate comes from Xu Ningdi in the Tang Dynasty. Xu Ning praised Yangzhou in a poem that recalled Yangzhou. Xu Ning praised Zhou. Then he said, "The world has three-part bright moon night. The two-part rogue is Yangzhou." Later generations yearned for Yangzhou as dreams and illusions, and often replaced Yangzhou with the two-part bright moon.

When I arrived in the city, Xiao Buyi discovered that most of the ancients liked nightlife. Therefore, I highly praised the bright moon. When I came to see it during the day, I saw traffic. The sun was hanging high, and there were no gods on the bridge. I was full of ordinary people who wanted to see the gods like me. The bright moon was not there, and the jade man didn't know where to teach who to play the flute. There was no trace of shadow.

However, Yangzhou and Xiao Buyi have a connection between them in the east for a long time, which is that the rivers in the city are crisscrossing and the water system is quite developed.

The twenty-four bridges are just empty fingers. There are no less than a hundred stone arch bridges on the river channel. I stay at home and have a jade flower on both sides of the river. Xiao Buyi suddenly appeared. Although the people are still ordinary people, the flowers are fairy flowers.

He was rushing for a good time. It was the romantic season for Qionghua in Yangzhou.

The eternal famous flowers are not charming with their colors or intoxicating with their strong fragrance, but they bloom on both sides of the river. They are elegant and unique.

As the breeze blows, the warm air blows over the face. The flowers sway, like a pure girl's graceful and elegant appearance.

The jade flowers are as white as jade, and the beauty of the lily looks beautiful in the jasmine. Smile roses in the dust and ordinary, but the daffodils can be as quiet as it is, while the plum blossoms in the river seem to be as pure as it is,'

Xiao Buyi looked at the swaying flowers on both sides of the shore, dancing like butterflies. For a moment, she was also intoxicated and couldn't extricate herself.

He had seen the snow in the east capital, but he did not expect to see another snow in Yangzhou.

The trees on the high ground are covered with white jade flowers. At first glance, the sky looks like auspicious snow, but at closer glance, it is more shiny than auspicious snow. It is better than crystal clear.

Xiao Buyi sniffed and sighed for no reason. He was immersed in the beautiful scenery. He temporarily forgot everything. Asu and Zhou Munou were also immersed in the surroundings of the verdant flowers and clear water. It was silent for a long time.

But even in the fairyland, in the eyes of some people, after seeing it for a long time, it is no different from thatched huts.

The three of them were all looking at the Qionghua on both sides of the shore. The people in the market were just noisy and noisy. They looked at the goods in my hands. The copper coins in your hands were already strange for the beautiful scenery around you, and most of them wished that the Qionghua would turn into flour and be better.

Suddenly, there were several gongs in the city. Suddenly, there were "cooling" sounds on the streets and alleys, and everyone was attracted by an invisible gravity to rush towards the east.

Xiao Buyi and the other two temporarily left the fairyland and looked at the world. They were unclear.

"Boss Xiao, what's the matter?" A Rue asked in a low voice. "Is it the people's riot?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "Do you think I am a god and know everything." He walked a few steps away and came to a vendor in the street and asked, "Dare you ask them what they are going to do?"

"Buy something?" The vendor is looking forward to it.

Xiao Buyi thought to himself that the two sides of the river were covered with flowers. The endless river water seemed to be unable to cleanse your urban atmosphere. What is close to Zhuzhechi may not seem to be correct. He took out a few cents and threw it on the street stall. He picked up a child's whistle-like handicraft. Then he asked, "You can tell me now."

The vendor finally smiled, "I'm going to kill someone."

Xiao Buyi frowned, "What's so good about killing people?"

"Why isn't it good to kill people?" The vendor's eyes shined, "Guest. If I were guarding this stall, I was afraid of losing things. I would also go and see the murder. You don't know. The executioner's ground knife is sharper than the butcher's ground machete, and the back of the knife is thicker than the palm. A knife can be at least a few dozen kilograms. If you cut down with one knife, the head fell to the ground, and blood splashed out suddenly, and even the ground could reach several feet away..."

"There is nothing good to kill. We are killing people all day long." Ah Su said, "Boss Xiao, why not eat."

When the vendor heard Ah Su's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't dare to say anything as if he was silent as a cicada. He looked at Ah Su carefully. Seeing that his face was rusty, it seemed as if the remaining blood had condensed after the killing, he even regretted boasting.

Many people have too ordinary lives. When they show off their own uniqueness, they will certainly show off. The vendor just saw three people coming from other places. They wanted to brag about murder, but they didn't expect to meet a murderer.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Although we kill people all day long, it is the first time we have encountered so many people who are watching. I don't know who is going to kill."

When the vendor saw Xiao Buyi looking at him with a smile, he seemed to be thinking about where to cut the knife, and said verbally. "Yes, if you want to kill the land, you are the former general manager of the land, and now the underground palace supervisor Zhang Street."

Xiao Buyi was slightly surprised and murmured: "It turned out to be him."
To be continued...
