Chapter 200: Falling Ill

Qin Bai is Yongjiahou, and when he travels under the banner, the scale of the Qin family's fleet will naturally not be small. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNot counting the few ships hired by the Huang family, there are six ships of different sizes under the name of the Qin family. Among them were the ones that the masters rode and the servants who carried, and there were those who carried heavy loads, such as thick quilts, charcoal, furniture, carriages, horses, and other things that were not needed for the time being, but which had to be prepared, and there was a ship dedicated to carrying oil, salt, rice, and grain, with a kitchen attached. There is an open fire on this ship, and the fire prevention facilities are particularly thorough, and every day the ship's cooks buy fresh vegetables and vegetables on the shore, and cook on the spot in this floating kitchen, and take the food box to other ships. There is no need to set up a stove on other ships, at most, in order to prevent the cold in autumn and winter, the food is easy to cool, and add a small tea stove or two in case of emergency.

After the master and servant of the Zhang family were rescued by the boatmen hired by the Qin family, they were sent to a ship to transport the baggage. The servants of the Qin family on the ship got the order conveyed by the steward, and they did not immediately change into dry clothes for the master and servant of the Zhang family, but weighed on their stomachs for half a day, squeezed out the water, and tossed around, seeing that their lives were no longer in danger, so they asked people to find dry quilts and put them on them, using them as cloaks to block the wind. As for dry clothes? No, of course. They were all rough servants on this boat, or they were grooms and coachmen, and how could their clothes be changed for this elegant boy who looked like he came from a big family? Isn't that too offensive?

Moreover, they are rough and do not know how to do this personal work. The son of the Zhang family was unconscious, and they didn't dare to move lightly, so they could only leave the messenger waiting to change clothes to his own little servant. But although the little guy fell into the water late, he was tossed by the master very lightly, and the order of rescue was also backward, so that he drank more river water, and his face became more ugly, and he is still unconscious. He couldn't wait for his son-in-law, so the son-in-law of the Zhang family had to lie on the deck wet, with only a layer of clips covering his body to block the wind, and he was treated the same as being a servant.

As for the boatman who was hired by him, he was just a fisherman begging for a living near the wharf, seeing that this son with an extraordinary background fell into the water, and because he hit his own oars, he almost drowned in the river, and he didn't dare to come out, so he secretly took the five taels of silver given by Zhang Gongzi, and ran away with his small sampan, still thinking in his heart that he would go to a relative's house to hide, so as not to find himself to settle accounts afterwards. Anyway, the five taels of silver were in the account, which was enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing for a while.

When Zhang Gongzi woke up from his coma, he found that the ship he was on turned around and returned to Jiangning Wharf. The servants of the Qin family on the boat also explained the name of their master very kindly and friendly, saying that they saw someone falling into the water on the Yangtze River, so they kindly rescued him, and they didn't have to thank him too much, and also reminded Zhang Gongzi not to swim the Yangtze River on a small sampan so rashly in the future, people who don't know how to water need to be more cautious, otherwise if they fall into the water, they are not so lucky every time, and they will meet well-wishers to save him.

Zhang Gongzi trembled and said words of thanks, while claiming that he and the Huang family were in-laws, and asked the servants of the Qin family to send him to the Huang family's ship. The servants of the Qin family said: "Our ship has already returned to the dock, how can we send Gongzi to another ship? We don't know what the Huang family is not the Huang family, I don't know which one it is?" Zhang Gongzi said Huang Jincheng's name, and the Qin family servants said: "It turned out to be his family, this is also easy." Our lord is familiar with Huang Yanshi, so the younger ones will send their sons to Huang Yanshi. ”

Zhang Gongzi was taken aback, and repeatedly tweeted that there was no need, he just needed to send it to the Huang family's fleet, and there was no need to alarm Huang Yan. Huang Yan is busy with official business, a little thing, how can he work well?

The servants of the Qin family lowered their faces at this time: "Huang Yan is busy with official business, Gongzi doesn't want to alarm him, is it possible that our Hou Ye is just idle and has nothing to do? You are embarrassed to work for our Hou Ye? You have all arrived at the shore, and you have to toss and go up to the river, isn't this embarrassing for us? Our Hou Ye has been in Jiangning for more than a year, and it is really the first time that we have met Gongzi so shameless, who do you think you are?!" ignored his request at all.

Zhang Gongzi thought to himself that he was at most a servant of Yongjiahou, so where could he worry about Yongjiahou himself? It's just a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and this wealthy servant is naturally not easy to mess with. He didn't dare to say anything, so he had to be careful: "I am the son of Zhang Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and in the past, I also admired the literary name of Yongjiahou in Beijing for a long time, but unfortunately I couldn't see him, and I didn't dare to be contemptuous in my heart." It's just that my family and the Huang family are world friends, and they are closer than other families, so now that I am in trouble, I only think of asking for help from the Huang family. Huang Lishi is in charge of military affairs and has a high and powerful position, so I don't dare to disturb easily, so I can only go to Huang Lishi's wife for help. My mother was good friends with the daughters of the Huang family, and when I was a child, I was often taken care of by Mrs. Huang. ”

The servant of the Qin family said with a smile: "It turns out that Gongzi and Huang Yanshi still have such a relationship, but we didn't know about it before. However, the son doesn't have to worry about disturbing Huang Yan's affairs today, because he came to the dock today for something, and happened to meet our Hou Ye, so the younger ones know that he has no official business to do today, and he just takes care of the son. "I insisted on sending a letter to Huang Yanshi.

Zhang Gongzi was so anxious that he wanted to get off the boat and leave, and he didn't even care about the scholar who was still unconscious, but how could the servants of the Qin family refuse to let him go? He stopped him with a smile, and said that he would ask him for a doctor, and at another time he said that he would bring him ginger soup, and then he said that he would give him some hot tea, but in the end, only the hot tea came to him. He was wet and cold, and a quilt on the deck didn't stop the wind, but no one let him in. He sneezed a few times, and his mind gradually became dizzy, and he knew that he must be sick. In this unfamiliar Jiangnan, he was sick, and he was about to fall into the hands of the resentful Huang Jincheng, and he was also terrified in his heart.

He had deceived the Huang family into agreeing to withdraw from the marriage by pretending to be seriously ill, and with Huang Jincheng's eyes, would he really be seriously ill? But he couldn't move now, and by the time the soldiers sent by Huang Jincheng came aboard, he was already unconscious. Whether he asked a doctor to catch the medicine, or was thrown to the government for rectification as Xiao Xiao, it all depends on Huang Jincheng's mood.

After sending the people away, the Qin family's baggage ship returned to shore and chased after the main fleet. Qin Bai's main ship didn't go fast, but it took a little more than half a day, and they returned to the team.

Qin Han really got the news of Zhou Xiangnian's return, so he told the Huang family's aunt and sister-in-law with a smile, and said: "Now Aunt Huang and Aunt Huang can rest assured? ”

Mrs. Huang Jincheng smiled and thanked the Niu family: "It's all the kindness of Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou who helped us a lot, otherwise I really don't know what to do." The one who killed a thousand knives just recklessly ruined our sister Fang's reputation in public, I really want to stab him with a knife!"

Niu said: "What is there to thank for this? With the friendship between our two families, if you say such things again, it will be a share. Our lord just said that the descendant surnamed Zhang played the piano badly, saying that he was asking your sister to forgive, but in fact, he didn't have any sincerity. Such a brazen villain, no one is used to him, give him a lesson, so that he can learn to be obedient and understand the truth of being a man in the future. ”

Speaking of which, Niu is the hostess of this ship, and some of the guests' actions may not be able to hide from her. The girl with her own power quietly reported the small actions of Huang Qingfang's master and servant to her, so she looked at Huang Qingfang's expression now, and felt very happy: "When I first saw Sister Fang, I only thought that you were too good-tempered, and I was afraid that you would only be bullied." Now I see that you are actually quite refreshing, so I am relieved. ”

Huang Qingfang's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, as if she was the gentle and silent daughter she was when she first met.

Mrs. Huang Jincheng complained to the Niu family: "Our sister Fang was originally a very cool girl, but she made a marriage with the bastard of the Zhang family at a young age. The Zhang family is a scholarly family, and the bastard also became a child at a young age, and his mouth is full of poems and articles. Although we are a family of military attaches for generations, it is not good to raise a girl too roughly, so that she will be instructed by her in-laws after marrying, so we have also invited a female gentleman to teach Sister Fang since she was a child, and invited the grandmother in the palace to teach etiquette, so that she is now so dignified and knowledgeable. The bastard surnamed Zhang used to be the most sweet-mouthed, and in the name of his fiancΓ© in three days, he sent poems and lyrics to Sister Fang, as well as fat powder flowers, clothing and jewelry. We only said that he was diligent and careful, and he was dedicated to Sister Fang'er, although we felt that he was frivolous, but I thought that Sister Fang would have a good life in the future, and we didn't say anything. For him, Sister Fang reined in her nature and restrained herself according to the appearance of the Sven lady he liked, how did she know that he would change when he said it?!"

I see. Qin Hanzhen looked at Huang Qingfang and said with a smile: "Aunt Huang doesn't have to suppress her nature anymore. It's nice to be yourself. ”

Huang Qingfang looked at her and smiled, and said softly, "Thank you today." If you hadn't sent him back to the docks and handed him over to my brother, I'm afraid he would have come back and pester. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled, and Zhengse said to her: "Aunt Huang, no matter how brazen that person is to pester you and persecute you, if you don't want to be wronged, don't force yourself." What's the reputation? Isn't it just that outside the capital, there is another Jinling that is difficult to say about the kinship? The world is so big that you can't go anywhere? Besides, I don't think you should stay away because of other people's mistakes. How can they blame you for this shameless thing? Those who care about such gossip are not your good match. If you are upright, you will know your benefits to those who have clear eyes and a clean family style. ”

Huang Qingfang's face was slightly red again, and she lowered her head. Mrs. Huang Jincheng was happy to hear it: "Yo, Miss Qin really deserves to be the granddaughter of Yongjiahou, what she said is really insightful!"

Qin Hanzhen grinned: "This is just a little insight of mine." If my aunt and aunt think they are listening, they will listen to me. Since the son of the Zhang family would have planted some bad charges on Aunt Huang for the sake of breaking the contract and marrying another, it can be seen that he is also embarrassed. He will actually come to Jinling to do shameless things now, it must be that something happened in Beijing that is not conducive to their Zhang family, he is desperate, and his face is naturally not as important as his life. In my opinion, Aunt Huang doesn't have to take him to heart, just play with us all the way. By the time we return to Jinling, maybe he's already out of luck. We don't have to worry about it, someone has solved him. ”
