Chapter 511: Running away from home
The captain accompanied Li Shu's master and apprentice to board the ship together, he wanted to settle Li Shu and them personally, but Li Shu refused, "Since there are people from the government on the ship, it is better to avoid suspicion." ”
The captain had to order the deputy to arrange, and the deputy saw that the captain was good for the old man and his daughter, so in order to please their father and daughter, he specially arranged for them to live in the luxurious top cabin on the top floor, but Li Shu refused.
The reason is still the same, there are people from the government on the ship, he is not good at being special, and it is not good if he turns around and is targeted.
The deputy knew that he was an official of the dynasty, and when he heard him say this, he knew that he was not reluctant to avoid taboos, and only found another vacant room above the cabin where Li Qianqian lived to arrange them, and then settled and quit, and met another deputy, this person was tall and strong, and he laughed like Maitreya Buddha, but his body was like a blind bear in the mountains, he happened to be surnamed Xiong, and everyone joked that he was a bear blind behind his back, but he didn't dare to call him that in person, or he was greeted by a punch, and he had to lie down for ten days and half a month.
"Old Bear, why are you here?" he remembered that the blind bear had gone to arrange supplies.
"Sensei, as soon as I did my good deed, I was bumped into by two messengers, who ordered me to come back and say hello to the captain, and wanted to take a downwind boat to the lotus pond wharf. ”
Sweet Water Wharf is a day and a half away from the lotus pond wharf, it takes at least six days to take a car, but it can be reached in four days by boat, and there is no need to stop and rest along the way, everything is taken care of well, this weather is more comfortable and stable by boat than by car, but the boat fare is slightly higher.
Qin could have taken an official boat to travel, but he had to connect with the guards stationed there, as well as the parents and officials at all levels such as the prefectures and counties through which he passed, so he would inevitably have to quarrel.
"The captain agreed?" After asking, he slapped his forehead with a smile, the captain naturally agreed, the captain can personally invite a father and daughter who don't know the grade of the petty official to board the ship, how can he refuse the two Qincha who were born in Beijing?
"Lao Gao, who did you arrange to live on this floor?" Xiong Blind originally wanted to arrange the top floor for the two Qincha, but later heard that Lao Gao rushed to place the guests in front of him and asked for the top floor, so he retreated to this floor, but he didn't expect to come to check the cabin, and he met Lao Gao.
Lao Gao and the blind bear bit their ears, "I remember that the pampered official daughter before, the captain personally went to invite their father and daughter to board the ship, and originally wanted to arrange for them to live on the top floor, but the old man Cha refused, so I arranged them to this floor." Why, you also arranged for two Qincha to live on this floor?"
"Didn't you preempt it? That's why you arranged for them to live on this floor, and it seems that they can only be arranged to live on the top floor. ”
They are good at all, and they arrange for them to live on the same floor as a petty official who doesn't know the grade, if they are calculating, I am afraid that they will misunderstand that they deliberately buried the two Qincha.
Lao Gao asked when the two Qin would arrive, and when he learned that he would arrive soon, he hurriedly said, "Let's go, hurry up, send someone to the deck to wait, and when the people arrive, we will lead them to the top floor, and we will go up to the top floor to check." ”
The blind bear was worried that the workload was a bit heavy, and when he saw that Lao Gao volunteered to help, he grinned, and slapped Lao Gao's back hard with his big palm, "Okay! ”
As he spoke, he and Lao Gao hooked their shoulders and went to the top floor together.
Li Qianqian stood in the passage and sighed slightly, what kind of luck was she! She was surrounded by the officials of Zhao State.
After entering Li Shu's cabin, he couldn't help but say to Li Shu, "Just like this, he has recruited so many officials." "There are a lot of people around him!
Li Shu didn't care, "Just look at his ability." ”
"Are you going to transfer him to the pigeon guard?" asked after a pause.
"He's very capable. "Developing your own intelligence network without any help is really suitable for the nature of the pigeon guard's job.
"You're not afraid that the guards will crowd him out?"
"It's just a test of his leadership skills, isn't it?" Li Shu patted her on the head, "Don't worry about them, it's good to have competition." ”
Li Qianqian rolled his eyes at him, "Aren't you afraid that the pigeon guards will disobey him?" They want to clean up the protectors, but they can't let the pigeon guards and crane guards make trouble at this time.
"Don't worry, what do you say is the matter with you, where do you have so much thought about these at such a young age?"
"Or tell me, what should I think at my age?"
Li Shu was asked, to be honest, he didn't know much about women, and he didn't think about what he was thinking about a girl of Li Qianqian's age, and he didn't think about it, so he had to say that children don't think too much about the past.
Li Qianqian didn't hold on, and if he had the kung fu to rub his mouth with his cousin, it was better to find more things for the pigeon guards to do.
As soon as they got on the boat, there was hot water to bathe, hot tea and hot food to go cold and fill their stomachs, and the cabin was filled with charcoal basins early, so that the cabin was as warm as spring.
Wang Shaoqing changed out of his wet clothes, drank hot tea, and sighed with satisfaction, "Comfortable." ”
Huang Shilang washed up, put on his hot shoes, and came over with a thick cloak, just in time to see Wang Shaoqing's satisfied appearance.
"It's no wonder that Bai's shipbuilding business is booming. ”
"That's not necessarily the owner's fault. Wang Shaoqing said, "I've taken other ships of the Bai family, but I'm not so considerate." ”
Huang Shilang only laughed, didn't argue with him, and asked the little guy to take out the file, "Gongzi Xie's case has been solved, but the case of Hou Shizi of Qingguo has not yet been settled." ”
Wang Shaoqing touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "The prince is dead, the matter of the lord has failed, and the biggest beneficiary is the new concubine of the thirteenth princess, but the candidate has not been decided, and the beneficiary is difficult to determine." ”
"There is also a beneficiary. Huang Shilang reminded.
"You mean that Miss Zhang?"
Although she is a widow, in terms of her family background, it can be regarded as a good family affair. Huang Shilang poured a cup of tea and took a sip.
"But the secret marriage?" Wang Shaoqing shook his head, "For the sake of her son's future, Mrs. Zhang is really ruthless." ”
"So what? As long as Zhang Gongzi is in high school, Miss Zhang's position in the Qingguo Marquis Mansion can be stable, I don't know when the Qingguo Marquis will give the prince a stepchild to inherit the incense?"
The Zhu family did not dare to ask the princess to guard for the son for the rest of her life, but for the orphaned and widowed Zhang family, after a stepchild, Miss Zhang also had a hope.
Zhang Qinglu boudoir in Qingguohou Mansion, Zhang Qinglu only vomited once, the smell in the house was very bad, the maids were busy opening the window to burn incense to dispel the sour smell, and the summer breeze brought in the fragrance of flowers in the yard, which finally made Zhang Qinglu feel more comfortable, and the maids saw that her face was getting better, and they breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that this master is pregnant with the widow of the son.
Mrs. Hou lost her son, Hou Ye lost her son, this title will fall to that lord, no one can say, everyone was watching, to see that they were going to bet on that lord, who knew that Hou Ye would ask the emperor to give marriage, let Miss Biao hold the tablet to marry the son.
Everyone in the house said that the Hou Ye was crazy and would agree to this family business, and the lady was crazy and asked her niece to marry the dead son, and what was unexpected was that the wife of the prince was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the son in her belly.
Once a son is born, then this title must fall on the son of the son.
They are waiting for Mrs. Shizi, and Mrs. Shizi's position is stable, so they have a good future, and Madame may promise them that as long as they protect Mrs. Shizi and the child in her womb, they will prepare a generous dowry for each of them when they leave the cabinet in the future.
In view of this, they all worked hard to wait for Mrs. Hao Shizi.
It's just that......
"I think Mrs. Shizi seems to don't like the child in her belly very much?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" "Who would want to marry and enter the door, her husband is already dead, and everyone only cares about the child in your womb, and giving birth to a boy and a girl, but the future of her and her wife is at stake.
When a woman is pregnant, her mother-in-law, husband, and mother's family are all looking forward to getting a man in one fell swoop, so as to continue the inheritance, Zhang Qinglu's child in her belly is a man or a woman, and it has a greater impact than ordinary people's daughters-in-law giving birth to boys and girls, because he is related to the future of several grandfathers and their children and grandchildren.
Zhang Qinglu is suffering words, she is proud of her beauty, and she is torn between her cousin's son and her brother's outstanding classmates, thinking about choosing the best person to marry, picking and choosing, or the best conditions for the cousin's cousin, so she did not refuse her cousin's courtship, thinking that she would fly on the branches to be a phoenix from now on.
It's just that I didn't expect that my cousin's outstandingness attracted a real phoenix.
Shizi's cousin died unexpectedly, she thought she was going to choose a new son-in-law, but she knew that there was an extra piece of meat in her belly, and she was discovered by her mother before she could figure out how to solve it!
Without saying a word to her, he sold her to his aunt, which was to make her a widow for the rest of her life!
As a result of the whole day of tears, everyone praised her for her deep affection for Shizi's cousin.
Only she and her mother knew what was going on in her heart.
Knowing that her daughter threw up again, Mrs. Zhang soon came to visit her, and as soon as she entered the door, she sent everyone who was waiting in the house, Zhang Qinglu looked at her mother mockingly, and Mrs. Zhang turned a blind eye, "You vomited again?"
"Yes. Zhang Qinglu deserved it quickly, and Mrs. Zhang's hand was also very fast, and she slapped her daughter quickly and accurately.
"Do you want to die?"
"I don't want to die, but I don't want to defend my cousin. "She is only seventeen years old, she is still so young, why should she guard him? She was born with a beautiful face and a beautiful moon, can she only be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lights?
"I knew this was the case, so why did I have to do it in the first place?" said Mrs. Zhang, wringing her veil angrily.
"How did I know that the princess would fall in love with him?" Zhang Qinglu sneered, "At that flower party, my cousin knew that he was the princess's husband, but he still went, knowing that the princess would fall in love with him, and he would still be the master, but he coaxed me to commit to him, I had to know all this earlier, so I wouldn't fall for him." Zhang Qinglu pounded the bed board indignantly and roared in a low voice.
Mrs. Zhang was speechless by what her daughter said, isn't her daughter and the son in love? No...... Then she went to tell her sister that her daughter was pregnant...... No wonder, no wonder! She looked at her daughter who was half-leaning on the pillow on the bed.
"That's why I told your aunt that you were pregnant, so you were so angry?" so angry that she refused to talk to herself, so angry that she moved the fetal gas, and even didn't want to drink the fetal pills, because she didn't want the child from the beginning?
"Can I not be angry?" Zhang Qinglu wiped her eyes, "Originally, I had asked someone to prepare medicine for my fetus, but it was you who ruined my business." ”
Zhang Qingyun stood outside, the light in the room hit him from the window, it should have been warm, but he felt cold all the way up from the soles of his feet.
Like his mother, he thought that his sister and cousin were in love, so he would ...... I didn't expect that after her cousin was given marriage by the emperor, she wanted to find another high branch! Thinking of those days, her sister pestered her every day to attend the cultural meeting, especially the cultural meeting attended by dignitaries, she was even more active.
It turned out that he chuckled softly.
"You only think about your brother, you dare to say that when you went to tell your aunt that I was pregnant with my cousin's child, you didn't think about it, and you used this matter to help your brother?"
"Your uncle already appreciates your eldest brother. Mrs. Zhang said inwardly.
Zhang Qinglu sneered, "Just blow it! My uncle is a military general, what does he appreciate about his eldest brother? He knows how to appreciate poetry and writing? My cousin himself said that his father admired literati very much, but he didn't know what was good about other people's articles, so when he went to participate in literary meetings, he was always secretly ridiculed. ”
Zhang Qingyun felt that he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he turned around and left, but when he came out of the courtyard, he saw Qingguohou and his wife standing in the shadows.
He was a little embarrassed to the two of them, Qingguohou's face was a little ugly, but he didn't embarrass him, "Good boy, don't do your business, you can go!"
Zhang Qingyun opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and finally said goodbye to them hastily, after returning to the room, he asked the little guy to pack up his things, the twelve-year-old guy didn't know the reason, and asked curiously, "Uncle is about to take the exam, where are you going to pack your things?"
"I have something to go out, hurry up and pack up!"
"Oh. The little maid quickly packed up his things, Zhang Qingyun ran away overnight, and when Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter found out, he had already disappeared.
Before dawn, the passenger ship slowly set sail away from the Sweetwater Pier.
At the same time, Li Ye's people learned that Geng Protector's boat was moored at the Sweet Water Wharf, and hurried to the dock to inquire about it, only to know that there was a death case on the passenger ship, and the guests on the ship, some changed their itinerary to return to Beijing, and some changed ships to continue the journey.
I don't know what kind of Geng Protector and his party are, "Let's find an inn to settle down first, and then inquire carefully?" They were injured before and lost contact with Li Ye, so they didn't know what happened to the Geng family.
After staying at the inn, he tried to get in touch with Li Ye, and only then did he know what Li Ye had done to the Geng family, and the steward who led the team was worried.
It wasn't until he received a message from Li Ye that he asked them to meet Ling Protector and Shen Protector in the capital of Zhao State, and the steward knew that the two of them, like Geng Protector, were also people who supported Li Ye, but he didn't quite understand what Li Ye wanted to do when he asked him to see the two of them?
"Guest, there is a master who said that it is your old friend. ”
"Who?" asked the steward, somewhat defensively.
The guy scratched his head, "That man's surname is Li, and his name is a Shen character." ”
Li Shen? Is it the Li family's baby pimple? How could Li Ye let him out?
