Chapter 114: Ancestral Road (Monthly Pass 310+)
(Fifth Update!Thank you, Fifth Update!)
When Zheng Heng left Hedong, it was the third day of December.
This was only a few days after Zheng Min's letter arrived. The reason why I was in a hurry to set off was because I had to rush to Jingzhao before the Chinese New Year.
Steward He urged again and again, but Zheng Heng still arranged everything properly, and waited for the dart master of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau to arrive, so he ordered Steward He to set off.
Zheng Heng has seen too many people like Steward He. Zheng Heng's attitude towards this person is the same as Zhang's, and he is not very willing to pay attention to it.
Villains can indeed reach the sky, but it also depends on what kind of villain they are.
Like Steward He, she only thinks it's funny when she reveals the meaning of "my master is He's" all the time.
She hasn't gone to Jingzhao yet, and the He family wants to give her a horse?
Zheng Heng believed that he didn't have to make a move himself, just Yingzu was enough to deal with him.
She went to Jingzhao and brought four people, Yingzhi, Yingzu, Si Shen and Si Wu, all of whom were Zheng Heng's new maids later.
Originally, Zheng Heng wanted to take Si Ying to Jingzhao, but Ying Zhen and Ying Shi expressed their willingness to stay in Jingzhao to accompany Zhang.
"Girl, the slave really wants to stay in Hedong, and she doesn't want to go to Jingzhao. Yingzhen, who has always been a little timid, said very resolutely.
Maybe they like the tranquility of Hedong, maybe they are afraid of the unknown of Jingzhao, no matter what, they insist on staying in Hedong, and Zheng Heng is not reluctant.
It's just that at the moment of leaving Zheng's mansion, Zheng Heng still felt a sense of parting. - Zhang has been standing at the door of the Zheng Mansion, watching her leave.
Zhang, the former Mrs. Yongninghou, Zheng Heng's grandmother......
From her, Zheng Heng felt hesitation and ruthlessness, but no matter what she was, she wholeheartedly maintained Zheng Heng and Zheng Shi.
Zheng Heng thought that he was cold and hard-hearted, and he didn't want to go through nearly a year of companionship and wholehearted maintenance by the Zhang family. She has a slight reluctance to give up on Zhang.
I hope that Zhang's Qiē is all right......
At this moment, on the carriage leaving Hedong, Zheng Heng prayed silently.
Hedong, a place she had never set foot in her previous life. In this life, she was born in Hedong, where she grew up, and she is about to leave.
Except for Zhang, many things passed through Zheng Heng's mind, and the memory was not very profound, but it could not be forgotten lightly.
Over here. She entered Yudong to study, and in a different way of identity from her previous life, she once again saw the demeanor of Mr. Zhou Dian and Dou Rong;
At the same time, she also got to know the Pei family, the No. 1 in Hedong, whether it was the sick Pei Ding or the beautiful Pei Guang, it opened her eyes......
Nearly a year, it turns out that so much has been experienced. It wasn't good or bad, she just knew that she was going to get out of here. I'm going to Jingzhao.
Jingzhao, the imperial capital of Daxuan, the mourning family is coming back!
Half a day later, Yingzu came and said, "Girl, Steward He said that he would change the waterway tomorrow morning. The slave maid has already asked Sun Darttou, and it is the most time-saving to turn to the waterway. ”
Zheng Heng nodded and ordered, "I know." Instructed Sun Dart and others to be cautious and not to quarrel with others in Qishandu. ”
Yingzu obeyed the order and left, until she told Zheng Heng what she meant, and Yingzu remembered: How did the girl know that it was Qishandu?
She didn't know. In Zheng Heng's mind, there is a picture of Daxuan.
Although Zheng Heng had never crossed Hedong in the past, Zheng Heng was still clear about the route between Jingzhao and Hedong.
From Hedong to Jingzhao. The quickest way is to change to a boat at Qishandu on the border of Hedong, and go straight up the Yellow River to Liuyundu in Gyeonggi, which only takes half a month to reach Jingzhao.
It's just that Qishandu is the junction of the east of the river and Hanoi, and the people in this area are fierce. There are bandits from time to time, so Zheng Heng will specially tell Sun Dart.
I want to come to Sun Dart to dart around, and I also know the situation of Qishandu. The only thing Zheng Heng was worried about was the Zheng family's arrogant nursing home.
Most of these nursing homes are used to being stable at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and their voices are shouting loudly, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand any wind and waves.
Is this kind of nursing home really raised by the He family? It looks very arrogant, and the gaze they look at Zheng Heng is also extremely unpleasant.
Ying Zhi also noticed this, and he didn't dare to leave Zheng Heng for half a step, and firmly guarded Zheng Heng's side.
After a while, Yingzu came back and said, "Girl, Sun Darttou already knows, and let the girl rest assured that Steward He and the nursing home will also be watching." ”
Zheng Heng nodded, thinking that the Zhang family didn't know how much money it had spent, not only to make Weiyuan Dart Bureau produce so many dart masters, but also to make Sun Darthead so attentive. - How did she know that in addition to the Zhang family, there was also the fat shopkeeper of Qianhui Building who went to find Sun Darttou?
But...... Even if Sun Dart was watching, Zheng Heng was afraid that Steward He's people would make trouble, and she didn't want to make twists and turns on the road.
After thinking about it, Zheng Heng said: "Si Shen, when you get to Qishandu, take out those things and do what I say." ”
Si Shen nodded yes. Although she was puzzled in her heart, she would not show it on her face.
The girl ordered to carry these things on the road, which was originally used in Qishandu?
Because it is a junction of two roads, it is much larger than the ordinary ferry. After Zheng Heng and his entourage came to Qishandu, they saw an unusually noisy scene.
It was the beginning of Mao, and it was the busiest time for Kaishandu. As far as the eye can see, you can see boats of all sizes, approaching or leaving, and there are sturdy boatmen everywhere on the shore, constantly watching the carriages coming and going.
Changing horses and boats, Zheng Heng of course got out of the carriage.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw a man who looked like a shipwright coming up to her, and said with a smile: "The little one has saluted the girl!
"Don't worry, my girl still has something to do, wait a minute. It was Si Shen who replied on behalf of Zheng Heng.
After saying that, she took out a bag of things from the carriage, and then accompanied Zheng Heng, walked straight to the shore, and opened the bag of things.
This bag of things turned out to be incense candles, paper money, a full bag!
As soon as he saw the bag of things, the face of the shipwright who had greeted him changed slightly.
Zheng Heng ignored the eyes of the boatmen around him, and only instructed Si Shen to light the incense candles, then removed the hat curtains, and then respectfully kowtowed to the river twice.
It's two, not three!
Seeing Zheng Heng's actions, Steward He and Sun Dart didn't know why, but the surrounding boatmen all showed surprised looks.
Forgive me, this young girl, who knows all this!
After Zheng Heng kowtowed twice, he began to chant loudly and quickly: "Sink forward and raise back." Misfortune is the root of virtue, and worry is the blessing of the hall. Those who are mighty will perish, and those who obey will prosper......"
She read so fast that even Si Shen, who was very close, couldn't hear clearly, let alone Steward He, Sun Darttou and others.
After reading it, Zheng Heng knew that the road from Qishandu to Liuyundu would be safe and sound.
However, there was not much joy on her face, but a faint sadness.
If it weren't for the teacher telling her about the ancestral rules of Qishandu, how could she have been safe on this journey? Teacher, I'm about to return to Jingzhao, where are you?
With such mourning, Zheng Heng boarded the big ship to Jingzhao under the welcome of the shipwright.
As she expected, from Qishandu to Liuyundu, they were safe and sound on the way, and even received a lot of care from the boatmen.
When they arrived at Liuyundu, the shipwright respectfully sent Zheng Heng off the boat, and they refused even the reward money they had prepared.
Seeing this scene, even the well-informed Sun Darthead was deeply surprised.
He knew very well the temperament of these boatmen, and he didn't know how much waterway money he had to spend in the past, but now it's strange. Isn't it related to the incense candles and paper money that Miss Zheng burned?
In any case, this safe journey also made Sun Dart and others feel relaxed. But they didn't expect that on the first night they went ashore to rest, something happened. (To be continued.) )
