Putting aside these worries, she looked at the sky and said worriedly: "But it's already Shen Shi, Xiaolang's time to have a meal..."

Xu You shook his head and said, "This is unreasonable. You only need to eat when you are hungry, and it has nothing to do with the time."

In fact, from the perspective of the development of civilization, eating on time represents an important sign of human beings getting rid of the primitive era and entering a civilized society. From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the present, ordinary people have two meals a day, one in Chen, called "Chao Food" and the other in Shen, called "Qing Food". It cannot be broken, but princes and nobles enjoy the privilege of three meals. "Zhuangzi. Neizi" has a sentence that "Those who are suitable for the wild and the cuckoo will turn three meals, and their belly will still be true", which shows that the three meals system has a long history, but is limited to the privileged class.

But no matter how you say it, Xu You, who was used to lunch at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, has been hungry until now at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. So for him, the most urgent task in front of him was not Shen's threat, but how to fill his stomach.

After two generations of governance by the An family and son, the people now live in peace and live in a wealthy life. Unless they are lazy, it is not a problem to eat and wear well. However, Xu You is now seriously injured and has a sensitive identity, so he cannot rely on himself. He has been raised in the Xu family's mansion since childhood. Although he is a slave, he lives far more than ordinary farmers. Even compared to girls in rich and wealthy families. In addition, she is young and does not understand the world, so it is easier to kill her if she wants her to go out to make a living and make money.

Therefore, the simple problem of food and clothing seems to have become a dead end!

The two sat withered and till the sun set, and they didn't think of any way. The autumnal equinox suddenly stood up and said, "I am watery. Since others can catch it, I can catch it too. Xiaolang, wait a moment, and I will go to the riverside to catch a few fish and come back!"

Xu You learned his lesson this time and didn't reach out to pull it. Although he was young at the autumnal equinox, he was really strong enough, and scolded: "How can you catch fish so easy? Look at those old fishermen who have caught fish for a lifetime, sometimes they may not be able to catch a few. Besides, you, a little girl, why did you go into the water bare-handedly? Just this dress will wrap you up with water... These are the second best. Now it's late autumn, the weather is warm and cold. What if you get sick if you get sick after getting cold?"

The autumnal equinox said distressedly: "This is not possible, that is not possible, but the little husband is still hungry..."

Looking at the history of the country, for thousands of years, whenever you rebel with your head, you have been hungry and unable to survive, so you rise up. From this we can see that the most tragic thing in the world is the empty stomach. That feeling is like a terrible ghost hand stretching out from your stomach, shattering your internal organs inch by inch, and then sprinkling salt, and putting millions of ants on it, crawling back and forth. People who are not really hungry can't understand it at all.

The two of them had no food to eat that night, so they had to rest early. Xu You didn't know if he was hungry, so he slept until the next day when he woke up. The autumnal equinox was waiting beside the bed. When he saw him open his eyes, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Lang, the prefect's mansion has sent someone here and has been waiting outside for half an hour."

"Prince's Mansion? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

"The lord gave the order not to disturb the husband until he rested, and said he could not help him."

Xu You put on his clothes under the service of the autumnal equinox, put on his head crown, and put on high clogs. When he walked to the outside room, he saw the person who came was wearing a blue linen robe and stood facing the courtyard gate with his hands in his arms, looking very calm.

Xu You clasped his fists and said, "I don't know who is here in person. Xu You is in a position to welcome him. Please forgive me."

The visitor turned around, and his handsome face showed a firm look, and said, "Qilang's complexion has indeed improved a lot compared to the previous few days. Here is Li Zhi!"

The person who came was Li Zhi, the new prefect of Yixing County. During the turmoil that night, the former prefect Xu Meng, also Xu You's cousin, was killed by the riots. In order to calm the chaos as soon as possible, the master sent Li Zhi, who had always been famous and poor, to take over the position of prefect.

However, he claimed to be in the lower house and did not wear official uniforms, so he should have come to see Xu You in his private capacity.

Xu You bowed to the ground and said, "It turns out that he is the Lord of the Mansion. It's really rude to bother you for a long time!"

Li Zhi had no airs, so he reached out to help him with a hint and said, "Don't be too polite, I'm here to be abrupt. I'll leave after giving you a few words. I'll be spared even if I have a hint of politeness."

"Yes, Master of the Mansion, please sit down." Xu You looked at the house that was penniless and the only two cushions were collected by the autumnal equinox and smiled bitterly: "This place is simple, I'm waiting for Master of the Mansion."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, stand and talk." He signaled Xu You to take a few steps closer, his face was solemn, and said, "Xu suddenly encountered a major disaster, do you know the root cause?"

Xu You didn't understand why Li Zhi asked about this, but he still answered honestly: "The prince above is more suspicious, and the ancestor below is more injustice, and the Shen family fanned the flames, which eventually led to this disaster!"

Li Zhi looked at Xu You in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the Xu Qilang, who had never had such a reputation, would have such insights. However, he didn't say much. The Xu family suffered this disaster, and all the elites in the clan were killed and injured, and their scholarship was stripped of their disciples, becoming the most ordinary commoner. There was no possibility of resurrection. Only Xu Qilang was left. What if he had some knowledge?

"At the time when the prince and Shen were forced too quickly, the master had no choice but to give you only one month to recover from the injury, but I see that the master's original intention seems to have room for improvement, so I want to wait for the time limit in these few days to make excuses that your injury has not been cured, so it is not advisable to travel far and delay for a while, and then look for opportunities. Maybe I can ask the master to let you stay in this county... You don't have to thank you. I did this not for you, because the Xu clan made the contribution of the decisive master to my Great Chu, and I cannot let the Xu clan lose his bloodline... But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Yesterday, the matter you appeared in front of everyone has spread throughout Jinling City at this moment, and this plan has no effect. And there is nothing wrong with telling you. Just now, Wei Tianzhi, the prince's servant of the Eastern Palace, came to see me and conveyed the prince's teachings, and asked me to urge Qilang to set off for Qiantang within a time limit, and not to stay in Yixing..."

Generally, the emperor's decree is called "decree", and the prince's decree is called "cai". Since even the prince's servant has come forward, there is no need to say what he will say next. Xu You already understands Li Zhi's meaning. No matter how official he has, he is just a fifth-rank prefect, and he dare not disobey the prince in public. Therefore, regardless of whether the injuries on his body have been healed or not, he must leave Yixing after one month.

As for why he was rushing to leave, Xu You knew very well that Yixing was the place where the Xu family county was. After a hundred years of operation, he had already firmly linked the flesh and blood to this place. Although the rebel soldiers killed three consecutive days after that night, slaughtered all the Xu family Manchus, as long as one person did not die, the masterminds behind him would be unable to sleep or eat.

Especially when the emperor was hunting, he heard about this and hurried back to Jinling. He issued three imperial edicts, ordering Shen to gather his troops and return to Wuxing. He also ordered Li Zhi, who was neutral in his position, to calm the people's hearts, and search for the orphans of Xu's family and properly settled them. No mistakes must be made before the Huangsha Prison was finalized. It was the emperor's ambiguous attitude that made the murderers who created this genocide case frightened and tried every means to expel Xu You from Yixing to prevent another turmoil.

Xu You showed great calmness and bowed his hand to the courtesy, saying, "Xu You will never forget the kindness of the Lord of the House of Residents! Since the prince issued the teachings, I will not make the House of Residents embarrassed. I will give me another three days. At that time, I will leave Yixing and go to Qiantang County Government to settle down."

Li Zhi's eyes showed admiration and said, "Okay, if you break, you will break. A real man should do this! But you are relieved. The Lord did not send you to Fanyu, nor did he issue you to Wuxing, but instead confiscated Qiantang with his own hands. This is to protect you."

Panyu is Guangzhou, the first place for the exile of the Chu gentry, and Wuxing County is the county guard of the Shen family. If you really go there, Xu You may not be able to survive for a day.

After seeing Li Zhi away, Xu You thought about it carefully. Yixing is not a place to stay for a long time. The most important thing he is to keep a low profile now. The lower the key, the better. But as long as he is in Yixing, there will always be an old future leader who still exists in the world to come to him and try to make a comeback. After a while, Shen will definitely find out when he sues the prince and says that he has resentment. He is afraid that he will not have this opportunity and will still be able to save his life.

Therefore, leaving Yixing is a must. Qiantang County of Chu belongs to Wu County and is not within the sphere of influence of the Shen family. It also has a humid climate, fertile land, and a developed economy. It is a saying in the old days of the past, called "a city suitable for human habitation". The emperor placed him there, as Li Zhi said, and it really means good protection.

But the problem is that he is poor and can't afford to eat, so why did he move to Qiantang with the autumnal equinox? Yixing is more than 370 miles away from Qiantang, and the journey is long. There are often trail-sliding bandits, which is not very peaceful. The cost of hiring a ox cart is astronomical for him, let alone the expense of accommodation and food along the way? But if he walks on the water, although he goes downstream, he has to pass through Dujiang River, Tiaoxi River, and pass through Wuxing County, which is the territory of Shen family, not sheep and tiger mouth? But if he wants to go west to Lishui and walk on the Shuiyang River, he has to go around a big circle. It takes longer, and there are many boats and boats.

In the final analysis, it’s still one word: money!
