After taking a bath in the twelfth lunar month in the east, my whole body was refreshed. Yang Qiuchi came to the corridor and looked at a bright moon hanging on the eaves opposite the yard. He thought, if he had martial arts skills, he would leap gently, jump onto the roof, and sit on the roof to watch the moon, it would be so poetic and picturesque.

I was enjoying the moonlight. A gust of cold wind blew, and I felt a little cool. When I felt warm, it turned out that the little maid Yuechan put the cloak on Yang Qiuchi's shoulders.

Yuechan asked, "Young Master, what are you looking at?"

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the round moon on the eaves: "Your name is Yuechan. Since you are Chang'e on the moon, then tell me, what is on the moon?"

"I'm just a little girl, what about Chang'e? Master, don't laugh at me, I don't know what's on the moon."

"Do you want to know?" Yang Qiuchi took a hot bath and was in a good mood.

Yue Chan said, "Young Master, do you know what is on the moon?" He paused and smiled: "Yue Chan knows, the young master must be Wu Gang on the moon, and he uses an axe to cut down the osmanthus tree every day."

"You are Chang'e, I am Wu Gang, then aren't we the same as each other? Hehehe." Yang Qiuchi joked.

"You are the master, I am the little maid, I don't have that blessing." Yuechan said with her head down, but her heart was sweet.

Yang Qiuchi felt that it was not good to joke like this, so he coughed and said, "There is actually no Chang'e, no Wu Gang on the moon, no osmanthus trees, no water, no rivers, no flowers, birds, fish and insects. You can't hear others' words. It's a dead world."

Yuechan had a cold war: "Really? Young Master, you are so afraid of people."

"The moon is so beautiful, how come there are no flowers, birds, fish and insects?" A girl's voice came from behind. Yang Qiuchi looked back and saw that it was Bai Sumei.

"Miss Bai, are you not asleep yet?" Yang Qiuchi's heart beat for a moment.

"Not yet." Bai Sumei walked to Yang Qiuchi and looked up at the moon, "Young Master Yang, I heard from the old people that the black shadow on the moon is a osmanthus tree, why is there no flowers?"

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to talk to them about the story of the moon on the spacecraft, and immediately smiled: "I'm talking nonsense and playing with Yuechan."

Bai Sumei had obviously just washed up. She changed into a clean plain robe, and the bright moonlight shone on her thin face, making her look particularly simple and elegant.

Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to look at her again, for fear of reminding her of the feeling of giving her artificial respiration, so he looked up at the moon and sighed: "The moon is so beautiful and full. The moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival is just like this."

"Yes." Bai Sumei said leisurely, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father would prepare fruits and vegetables in the garden. The whole family ate while watching the moon, wanting to be beautiful on the moon, imagining the osmanthus tree, Chang'e, and Wu Gang. By the way, there is Chang'e's little white rabbit-I really want to fly to the moon to see Guanghan Palace."

Yang Qiuchi said: "I am not as romantic as you. When I was a child, we stole pumpkins from other people's fields and set up a pot in the yard to cook pumpkin soup. A group of children jumped and smiled and watched the moon rise."

Bai Sumei pursed her lips and said, "Young Master Yang must have been very naughty when she was a child."

"Yes, every time I go to the field to steal pumpkins during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I take the lead. Once, a lump of soil was smashed on my forehead by the melon-looking guy, and it was so swollen that it was so big."

Bai Sumei asked curiously: "Why do you want to steal? Do you have no money to buy it?"

"This is a custom in our place. I only use the pumpkin stolen from the ground to taste good when I cook pumpkin soup on the Mid-Autumn Festival. So that day, many ordinary people have to guard the ground, but when there are really children who steal, they can just drive them away. I usually don't move thickly. I deserved to be unlucky. I stole it once and then ran to the same piece of land to help others steal it for the second time, but I ended up getting a lump of soil."

Yuechan was joking and listening: "Young Master, you were so naughty when you were a child!"

"What's this? I have many naughty things," Yang Qiuchi said happily, trembling with all the embarrassing things he had when he was a child: "For example, secretly putting a four-legged snake in the chalk box for the teacher on the podium, being the class monitor in elementary school, quarreling with a female classmate, and in anger, locking the female classmate in the classroom and running home by himself, causing the principal to come to the door..."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi felt that Bai Sumei and Yue Chan looked at him strangely, and suddenly realized that he was in the Ming Dynasty and of course they didn't understand the modern campus life they were talking about, so he said, "Okay, it's too late, go back to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow to rush."

Bai Sumei nodded: "Young Master Yang, you have worked hard to take care of us along the way, so you can go to bed early."

Qiu Chi watched Bai Sumei enter her own room, smiled slightly at him and closed the door before returning to her room.

Yuechan had already laid the quilt and served Yang Qiuchi to sleep. After putting the curtains on, she blew out the lamp and went to sleep outside.

Early the next morning, I got up and rushed to the road. The five of them sat in Yang Qiuchi's luxury carriage.

When Yang Qiuchi saw that Song Yuner was depressed, he was a little surprised: "Yun'er, what's wrong with you? Haven't you been sleeping well?"

"What are you sleeping? Three little mice were chirping in the corridor and talking about the moon, how can they sleep?"

Yang Qiuchi knew that she was talking about Bai Sumei and the other three, and smiled and looked at each other. Yang Qiuchi said, "Then why didn't you, a little mouse, come out to see the moon?"

"I don't have so much poetry and painting," Song Yuner's words were a little sour. For a moment, Song Yuner was also reminded of childhood memories by the past stories she said by Yang Qiuchi, and she said: "Brother, why are you naughty when you use a four-legged snake to scare others? That's naughty when I was a child!"

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, I can guess the glorious deeds of you tomboy. You knew it from the time you robbed my money, but he still asked curiously: "Why are you naughty?"

Speaking of interesting things when he was a child, Song Yuner suddenly became interested and started talking about it.

Bai Sumei was relished and couldn't help but talk about her childhood. Mrs. Bai interrupted and replenished from time to time, talking and laughing, and the whole room was full of spring.

If you have something, you will be long. If you have nothing, you will be short. A few days later, Yang Qiuchi and his party passed Anqing Prefecture, left the capital and entered Huguang.

After entering Huguang, they found that there were gradually more beggars on both sides of the official road, and some were carrying their families with their families, as if they were escaping the famine. Song Yuner asked casually, and then she realized that Huguang had a locust plague last autumn, and the crops were eaten up by the locusts. In winter, there was heavy snow for several days, and the people could not live. After the New Year, the food accumulated at home was almost gone, so she dragged her son and daughter to escape from the famine.

Walking further, you can already see hungry people starving to death on the road, and those who fled to famine were all pale and thin, and they were dying.

Yang Qiuchi bought as much dry food as possible to distribute it to these victims, but once it was distributed, the other victims came to hear the news and kowtowed and begged around Yang Qiuchi and his carriage. All the dry food was distributed, and some hungry people who had not been distributed followed pitifully.

This is not possible. Even if he has mountains of gold and silver, he cannot help so many victims, and instead delays his trip. So Yang Qiuchi had to decide to save only the hungry people who were about to starve to death. Just like that, stop and walk around, and on this day, they finally arrived at Wuchang, the capital of Huguang Province.

After entering Wuchang, I found that the city was full of famine fleeing, and the streets were covered with weak hungry people. The patrol officers and soldiers galloped past, and occasionally they could hear the news that hungry people were killed by the patrol officers and soldiers in the street because of robbing food.

While Yang Qiuchi sighed at the fragility of life, he really hoped that God could help these victims.

Those who sell children and girls also appeared, with a grass mark on their heads all over their hair, and were dressed in rags, shaking in the cold wind.

I used to see the old society that the people could not survive and sold their children. Now I really saw the real thing. Yang Qiuchi sighed very much. Thinking about it, the people who sell their children to sell their children are just to help their children find a wealthy family. There is no way to survive.

Yang Qiuchi and his friends came to Wuchang Post Station, which was located next to the yamen of the governor.

After Yang Qiuchi and the others settled down, according to Master Jin's suggestion, Yang Qiuchi prepared two generous gifts and went to visit the left and right governors of Huguang.

Yang Qiuchi solved the case like a god, but it was only famous in Guangde County and Ningguo Mansion. The Ming Dynasty had underdeveloped communication and information were blocked, so no one in Huguang knew about him.

The governor was a second-rank high-ranking official in the court, equivalent to the current governor or provincial party secretary. Yang Qiuchi, a seventh-rank county magistrate, would never meet him. However, considering Yang Qiuchi's two generous gifts, the governors Qian and Quan met him separately.

However, these two governors were both worried. After a few greetings, they served tea to see the guests.

Yang Qiuchi was so angry that his nose was crooked, but Master Jin was very happy and comforted Yang Qiuchi, saying, "Take it slowly, with this foundation, it will be much easier to visit the door next time. This is the case in the officialdom. There is no money to break the door, and no money to understand it."

Yang Qiuchi has no ambitions and does not expect to be a successful official career. Of course, he does not reject being an official. To use a saying, "It is not surprising that you are favored or disgraced, and you are unintentional to stay or leave."

Mr. Jin also arranged for him to visit Mr. Shi, the chief of the Censor of Huguang. Although the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the
