Chapter 177: Not optimistic
This way, Ruan Jingxin and Dongfang Xu are familiar with the road. Dongfang Xu still maintains his local tyrant style. More than a dozen large boxes contain a variety of ingredients. The cook also brought several. One specializes in dim sum, one is good at Yangzhou cuisine, and the other is good at Beijing cuisine. Anyway, I guarantee that every meal is Ruan Jingxin's favorite dish.
Ruan Jingxin strongly suspected that she had become fat, and she couldn't let go of her activities on the boat, and she ate and slept every day, which was really a great imbalance between the energy intake and consumption.
Since that day, most of Jin Shijie has been sleeping in his room. Honestly, it was a great time for him. He doesn't have to think about how to calculate every day, and he doesn't have to worry about whether someone wants his life.
Dongfang Xu's people regard this ship to death, and famous guards and secret guards are everywhere. Jin Shijie didn't feel anything bad about being watched all the time, but felt that he was very safe. Under the comprehensive relaxation of his body and mind, his spirit actually felt better and better, and his mood was greatly improved.
On the day they went ashore, Ruan Jingxin and Dongfang Xu did not keep a low profile at all, and generously hired a car to live directly in the yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division. However, these two people are too tricky, and they killed them last time they assassinated Ming. I don't know how many people have suffered at their hands. So a lot of people are still on the sidelines.
This time, however, several big salt merchants were high-fived and celebrated their arrival! Yan Yuheng's visit to Beijing was not a secret, and these big salt merchants had always been linked by interests. In the past, most of them didn't look at the loss of small fights. Whether it is a pirate in their own country or other pirates, they are all similar in their cognition.
But gradually, the nature of things began to change! In the past, it was just to get some benefits, but now it is murder and robbery! You must know that although property is valuable, the experienced boatman is even more rare! The way finding at sea, the unpredictable weather, and the changeable wind and waves are not just anyone who can make a ship return safely from a long journey.
"The young master of the Yan family is here. Dongfang Xu had just had breakfast, and when he heard the wind, he came in with a blank face.
"Let him wait in the front hall!" Dongfang Xu stood up lazily, "He is an informed and interesting person, and he knows that he must have to eat the closed door when he came yesterday." ”
Listening to the wind, he didn't answer, so he asked Yan Yuheng to invite him first, and he quietly followed behind Dongfang Xu.
Dongfang Xu took two steps and suddenly turned around, "But did you inform Lady Ruan?"
Hearing the wind, she was stunned, shook her head and said, "Don't you have to take a good rest?"
Dongfang Xu nodded with satisfaction, "The journey is tiring, let Lady Ruan have a good rest." Order, prepare a cage of ten treasures soup dumplings for breakfast. ”
Listening to the wind, he nodded, turned around and went to order first, he only dared to think in his heart, is the master jealous......
Ruan Jingxin didn't sleep lazy, because the biological clock had already been formed. And during this time, I ate and slept well on the ship, and I didn't feel much tired.
"Miss, the kitchen said that Shizhen needs to wait for a while, please don't worry. Cui Luo replied with a smile.
Ruan Jingxin raised her eyebrows and asked, "But Yan Yuheng is here?"
Xiang Bo couldn't hold back his 'poof' laugh on the side, and gave a thumbs up, "Miss is decisive!"
Ruan Jingxin wanted to roll her eyes, Dongfang Xu and Yan Yuheng had an indescribable enthusiasm. Is it because they are all beautiful men, so they can't exclude each other?
"Then wait for that cage of ten treasures to fill soup dumplings!" Ruan Jingxin waved her hand indifferently, and asked again, "Jin Shijie is up over there?"
"Jin Gongzi dressed up early in the morning and went out. "Xiangbo's 'truthful' report.
Ruan Jingxin couldn't help but have a sense of the picture. Jin Shijie originally gave people the feeling that he was a little out of tune, if he was paired with that fancy dress, I am afraid it would be ...... It's better to get closer to the 'masses'.
Silently, Ruan Jingxin praised Jin Shijie's 'sacrifice'. I can't help but wonder if this guy went to the casino. After all, at this time, the Qinglou Chu Pavilion has not yet opened for business!
In fact, everything is exactly the opposite! Jin Shijie couldn't wait to go to one of the most famous green buildings in Yangzhou. The closed door slammed into the sky, and he squeezed in through the crack in the door with the silver ticket.
This kind of place is naturally a pastime at night. However, during the day, there are also many self-proclaimed literati and wealthy people who will ask a few to go out to swim in a lake or something. However, people are informed in advance, and they will not go out so early.
The old bustard yawned and welcomed the people into the door, and for the sake of the silver's face, he dragged a redder girl up to accompany the guests, and ordered the kitchen men to get up and work.
Ruan Jingxin and her entourage were naturally stared at by many people. Jin Shijie's 'monkey urgency' appearance naturally fell in the eyes of others. When the news came back, everyone didn't understand why this product would come to Yangzhou. But after a little inquiry, I knew that this golden boy himself was a person who liked to mess around, so some people moved their hearts.
Dongfang Xu sent Yan Yuheng away, and then ran to the study in Ruan Jingxin's courtyard to wait. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ruan Jingxin was late.
"But tired these past few days?" Dongfang Xu looked Ruan Jingxin up and down.
Ruan Jingxin smiled, "No, it's been a long time to wait for that cage of soup dumplings." ”
Dongfang Xu unconsciously touched the tip of his nose and changed the topic, "The little white face of the Yan family came over and briefly told me about the situation here." Yangzhou's suppression of Kou is not so smooth. ”
"I've thought of that. Ruan Jingxin nodded. The coastline is so long, but it is a bit difficult to wait for the rabbit to be pressed. What's more, these people are very mobile, and many times they 'shoot a shot to change places', their actions are unpredictable, and there is no law to follow.
"Now both the big fleets of salt merchants and ordinary fishermen have stopped going to sea. But if it continues, the salt merchants will only lose their money, but the fishermen will have no way to live. ”
As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, and the sea eats the sea. If fishermen can't go to sea, a large part of them really don't know how to live. Not everyone is always ready for any change.
"These would-be robbers can come and go whenever they want, and they must have a hiding place. Ruan Jingxin frowned, "I need a detailed chart of the neighborhood." It's not the kind of maritime yamen. "Since the shipping yamen has already been in contact with the Japanese invaders, it will inevitably do tricks.
"It's simple!" Dongfang Xu thought about it simply, and then had an idea, I will find someone to visit those old fishermen!
