Chapter 22:

Dim Sum couldn't be saved, the young man glanced regretfully and began to clean up the paper scattered on the ground.
Xie Zheng squinted his eyes, squatted down, and stretched out his hand--
"Ah, how did you bring it out..." the boy seemed to mumble. Just as Xie Zheng stretched out his hand, he hurriedly put the paper in front of him, "Xiongtai is polite, let Rong Xiaosheng clean up, and I will apologize to Xiongtai later."
In the blink of an eye, the familiar ink character was clipped into the paper.
Xie Zheng only hurriedly glanced at the other ink characters, and the boy had already picked up all the paper in order.
Xie Zheng got up.
Because he was holding something in his hand, the boy said awkwardly: "Sorry, didn't you bump into you just now?"
Xie Zheng shook his head: "Nothing." He glanced at the book and paper in his arms, "Are you going to participate in this year's child test?"
"Ah? Right." The boy was a little shy, "If Xiongtai is not a big problem, then Xiaosheng..."
"Don't worry." Xie Zheng glanced at the dim sum scattered on the ground, "Your dim sum is spilled, don't you buy another one?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, the family is waiting for the little student to go back and have a meal, so I will buy it next time." Then he said again, "If nothing else, the little student will leave."
At this point, Xie Zheng couldn't speak much, so he had to clear the way and watch him leave.
Seeing his unusual attitude, An Fu hurriedly lowered his voice when he walked away, "Master--" Is there a problem with that person?
Before he could ask, Xie Zheng's chin moved in the direction of the boy's departure: "Find someone to stare at him. I want to know which child he is from."
An Fu was surprised and bowed: "Yes." After looking at each other with An Rui, he turned and mixed into the crowd.
There was a small accident, but it did not affect Xie Zheng's itinerary, and even because of the clues of Peppa's identity, his mood was even better.
The dim sum that the teenager fell a moment ago was quickly cleaned up by the people in the shop.
Xie Zheng stepped into the shop and asked the shopkeeper who came up: "What kind of snack did that person buy?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, and An Rui, who followed behind, pointed to the cleaned door. He knew it immediately and hurriedly said: "That little brother bought jujube cake and bee sugar cake."
Xie Zheng nodded: "Three copies of each package."
"……Yes."

Not three moments.
Qin Shoubei Qin hurried home after receiving the news. It was a hot day, wearing an official uniform, and was already sweating when he returned home.
He wiped his neck casually, and then gave a general training to the welcoming steward: "Who is here? What's the matter with the person who spreads the message, can't even tell me?!"
The manager smiled bitterly, and whispered: "Master, the third hall is down."
"What kind of lightning—" The voice stopped abruptly, and Qin frowned again, "Who did you say is here?"
"His Royal Highness"
"Second Uncle, it's me." The voice that entered the voice change period has become a little hoarse.
Qin followed his reputation again.
The young and young boy wearing a straight robe was standing on the porch, looking at him calmly.
Qin was stunned again, and when he reacted, he lost his face in shock, strode over, and asked angrily and anxiously: "Why are you here? Who told you to come out?"
This boy is Xie Zheng. Seeing that his second uncle was so panicked, he actually smiled a little: "Don't panic, second uncle, I took my father's decree and left Beijing."
Qin breathed a sigh of relief again, and then raised a heart: "Okay, what are you doing in Beijing? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"It's far away from the capital after all. It's normal for the news to lag behind." Xie Zheng had a gentle expression, "I followed the Ministry of Industry to build a dam in Luzhou at the order of my father."
"Luzhou? Repair the dam?!" Qin was startled again, "Why are you doing this?"
Xie Zheng was about to answer, and Mrs. Xin, who was waiting by the side, smiled and interjected: "Why don't we go into the house and talk? If you stand in the sun, you won't be too hot to panic~"
"Ouch, look at me!" Qin patted his forehead again, "I'm too anxious, walk around, let's go into the house and talk." Hurrying to lead Xie Zheng into it.
Seated in order, the servants offered tea.
Qin poured another two cups of warm tea in one sigh, and when he finished pulling his collar to fan himself, he asked him while fanning, "That's good, why are you doing it in Luzhou? It's almost impossible to find the place in Luzhou. I’m missing a dike. It’s okay if you didn’t run into it. If something goes wrong, how can you afford it? Tell your second uncle, is there any shameless person who stumbled you?"
The more I speak, the more excited.
Xie Zheng took the tea cup to taste the tea in his spare time. When he saw that he had finished speaking, he put down the tea cup and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, no one will trouble me. This is the job I asked for my father."
"You asked for it yourself?!" Qin was shocked again, "Are you stupid—Aw!" Madam Xin, who was standing behind him, gave him a secret.
Xie Zheng lowered his eyes and pretended not to see, and thought to himself. Did your second uncle start to be scared so early?
On the other side, Mrs. Xin glared at Qin again, then smiled and said to Xie Zheng: "Your second uncle has nothing to stop talking, so don't worry about it."
Xie Zheng nodded to her: "Second uncle, don't worry, I can save my uncle's character."
Qin curled his lips again.
Xie Zheng turned back and explained to him: "I worked out with people from the Ministry of Engineering a few days ago a solid object that can be used to build dams, called cement..." He introduced the cement in a few words, and then said, "Front These days there was heavy rain and flooding in Luzhou, but the cement dam was as solid as a rock from beginning to end. So, this trip is not in vain."
Qin was surprised again: "It really is?"
Xie Zheng nodded.
Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately frowned: "Then why did you come here? Does anyone know if you are here?"
"It's okay, it's up to Luzhou, I'll take a step to see uncle, no one can blame it."
Qin Youfeng frowned even more tightly: "You must never do these things again. Although you call me uncle, you are the prince and I am a foreign minister in your identity. If it is the etiquette on weekdays, it will be fine. It's easy to be criticized if you come and go in private. Don't do it again in the future. Besides, how old are you, why don't you study hard in the palace and rush to play these things?"
Xie Zheng felt extremely ironed. In the past, he felt that his grandfather's family was too cautious and too mother-in-law, unbearable. After experiencing everything, he realized that these qualities are commendable.
"Second uncle rest assured, I know it in my heart."
"Don't worry--" Qin coughed again after another, and said with sincerity, "You are still young, and studying hard is your task at the moment. Don't mix up those messy things, know. do not know?"
Xie Zheng was helpless: "Second Uncle, I am fourteen." Not young.
"It's considered small before the crown!" Qin was angry again, and began to ask about his current situation, "When did you arrive, and are you planning to stay for a few days?"
"I arrived last night—"
"What? You who arrived last night came here now?"
"It's too late, so I won't bother you. The environment of the inn outside is also good, just staying for a few days, it's not a problem."
"How many days do you plan to stay?!" Qin was very upset again.
Even Madam Xin frowned in disapproval: "How can I live outside when I come here all the way? It's not that there is no place to live at home."
Xie Zheng shook his head: "No, there are guards by my father, so it's easier to live outside."
Qin You and his wife looked at each other, and then Qin could only stare at him: "That night, I have to stay for dinner and have a good drink with me!"
Xie Zheng nodded: "This is natural."
Qin went on to say: "It's rare for you to come to Luzhou. I will take a few days off tomorrow and take you around for a stroll. You can't come to Luzhou for nothing."
Mrs. Xin touched him quietly, and when he turned back, she pointed in a certain direction.
Qin was at a loss again, looking at her.
Mrs. Xin is angry. Didn’t you talk about this wooden fish bump a few days ago?
She was helpless, so she had to move over and whisper a few words.
Qin suddenly realized: "You said this..." Scratching his head and looking at Xie Zheng, the latter was looking down at the cup of tea, slowly sipping it. He lowered his voice, "Isn't it bad for us to pull the cord like this? He is the prince after all."
"What thread, can't you say that you happened to see you during dinner?"
"What about it? We can't control his marriage."
"Eh, then you say you see or not, the old man just said to let us pay attention to the front foot, is it possible to pay attention to the follow-up?"
Qin scratched his head again: "It seems to be..."
The two couples were talking and muttering, but Xie Zheng was sitting next door, how could it not be heard.
He concealed his helplessness with the help of the tea cup. At this time, did his grandparents show him the girl in a hurry? He is only fourteen...
There seemed to be a good discussion, and Qin coughed slightly.
Xie Zheng put down his cup and looked over.
"That, my lord~"
"Second Uncle, you're polite, we are not out there, just call me Ah Zheng." Don't ordinary people call it that way?
"Cough, it doesn't matter, I'll talk about it later." Qin waved his hand again, and coughed again when he finished, "Then what, come over for dinner tomorrow, I'll introduce a friend to you—"
Mrs. Xin cleared her throat for fear of his nonsense.
If Xie Zheng hadn't heard of it, he continued to look at Qin You.
Qin did not move even more. His mouth was still crackling, and he continued, "This kid is about the same age as you, and is about to take the exam this year. I have talked about it twice, and I feel that this kid is stable, although A bit dumb, but he is still quite pragmatic in his actions. Given time, it will become a big deal. You may be able to talk with him..."
Madam Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Qin changed his words again, winked at Xie Zheng and said, "The most important thing is that his sister is so good- oh!"
Xie Zheng:...
Mrs. Xin quickly retracted her hand and said with a strong smile to Xie Zheng: "Don't listen to your second uncle's nonsense, it's just a joke."
Qin curled his lips again and muttered, "Is it true that people are very watery..."
"To shut up!"
Xie Zheng:...
If I remember correctly, he was only fourteen years old. Show him, I'm afraid I have to get a ten-year-old doll out?
Ten years old...
Xie Zheng had a chill.

Having eaten in Qin Mansion, it is almost the end of the time to return to the inn.
Because he drank a little wine with Qin again, Xie Zheng asked An Fu after bathing and changing his clothes, "Is there any result?" He was referring to the young man he met at noon.
"Back to the master, it was found out that it was the eldest son of the county magistrate of Wuxian, whose surname was Zhu, and his name was Tingzhou. He was thirteen years old. I came to Luzhou and heard that I was going to participate in the child birth test here.
The son of Wuxian magistrate? It closed with the original copy of the county chronicles. Furthermore, in recent months, Page has indeed been working on content such as Scripture and Interpretation of History, which is exactly what the child student test must assess.
So, this Zhu Tingzhou is Peppa?
Xie Zheng pondered.
No, it's not very similar.
Nothing like Peppa's... escape? Crazy?
Zhu Yuan, who was nesting in the room racing against time to read, sneezed.
Xie Zheng looked at the sky.
In summer, the sun goes down in the evening, while the sun is still hanging to the west, and the room is very bright.
He thought for a while, and simply asked An Rui to prepare his pen and ink and stay to chat.
[Brother Peppa] According to Peppa's habits, he should be there at this point and this sky.
Sure enough, he just waited for a while, and a "?" sign slowly appeared on the page.
[Recommend some delicious pastries]
[...What are you doing? 】
【Visit and Gift】
【Oh. Ask me why, I don't know what is the specialty of Luzhou? 】
【See details】
All right, it's just a small effort. Zhu Yuan on the other side curled his lips and resignedly began to ask: [Who ate it? Old man or child? Sweet or salty? 】
[The Year of the Total Horn]
That is about ten years old. [There are so many choices. Most children don’t like salty mouths. Also, don’t trim those greasy pastries on this hot day. I recommend bee sugar cakes, glutinous rice cold cakes, and horseshoe cakes. It’s refreshing and not greasy in summer. If you can It's not bad to find wild jujube cake, sweet and sour, appetizing. 】
Two of them fell at the door of the pastry shop today.
[Su~ My brother's saliva is down! 】The opposite page complained.
Xie Zheng's lips curled up. If you don’t eat it, you have to drool...
Zhu Tingzhou...really?
