Chapter 4: The Night

"It's winter, it's getting dark so fast!" The official's mother rubbed her hands, and saw Tan Sheng standing on the bow of the boat and didn't know what she was thinking, so she hurriedly went out and handed a stove to Tan Sheng, thinking that Ming'er would be able to go to Jiangxi Mansion, her voice was unconsciously happy, "There is still one night... Girl, it's cold outside, let's go into the cabin for a while?"

It's a long night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tan Sheng clearly remembers that in the previous life, oh no, in the dream, they were attacked by water bandits this night, and three thieves came menacingly, entered from the port side, ransacked the ship, and killed her. The blade was cold, she couldn't dodge, the official's mother showed her fierceness, injured a leg and jumped into the water with her, and then swam to the shore with her, and it took three days to return to Nanchang Mansion unkempt.

Thanks to the blessings of those thieves, all the silver they saved was fed to the fish, and after returning to Nanchang Mansion after all the hard work, they were still under suspicion - I don't know who started first, and everyone in the mansion suspected that her innocence was not there.

The gossip made her unable to raise her head and be a man, so she had to reluctantly please everyone who could please her, even Grandma Li, who poured water in the kitchen, accepted the sachet embroidered by her, the key is that Grandma Li still thinks the stitches are too thick!

When Tan Sheng thought of these things, he couldn't wait to cover his face immediately, his face was hot and painful!

Why is she so stupid to say so much...

Did she do whatever others said? Did she really lose her virginity when others said that she had lost her virginity? She had obviously done nothing, but because of the doubts and ridicule of others, she felt guilty, embarrassed, and wrong...

What the hell was wrong with her?

It's already unfortunate to encounter water bandits, she's frightened, she's injured, and she's still struggling with gossip?

Why?

Tan Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, and it seemed that the big boat was full of red wine and green, prosperous and lively, and it was inevitably a little wooden. She is not very smart, even sometimes a little stupid, very blind in doing things, often very confused about the situation she is in, not dexterous and not exquisite, when she is pushed away, she is fine, if others let her go by herself, she can walk into a dead end and can't get out, her sense of smell is not sensitive, her eyes are also a little blind, the only thing that is desirable is to treat people well, not to be reckless.

What is the use of such a useless her, doing it all over again?

Even if she did it again, she still wouldn't have anything to rely on.

The pride and ambition that had just been stirred up with the river were suddenly overturned by the sweeping waves.

Tan Sheng took a deep breath and insisted on not letting himself go down.

The official's mother called again, "Girl, it's dark", and Tan Sheng came back to his senses, oh yes, it was dark, Tan Sheng got into the cabin, and the official's mother followed.

Tan Sheng found herself walking at a fork in the road and followed the road ahead, then she had experience, she could hide the private silver in her arms, jump ashore in advance, rent a carriage, find a closer road, and get to Nanchang safely.

Or...

She can say goodbye to her mother's eldest girl, go to her mother's sender's fence, and go to her mother's second wife! She and the official's mother have hands, feet, silver, and identity documents, and rent a small portal to open an embroidery workshop or a tofu shop with their own craftsmanship. By the way, she can also tell fortunes, and when her sister-in-law followed the female crown to cheat money everywhere in the past few years, oh no, she got married everywhere. Three courts and five eyes, she can always say a few words, they will definitely be able to live!

When the time comes, she will give the official mother a good day, marry a hunter or a teacher next door, give birth to a few cubs, and can also pass one to the official mother as a little grandchild, and never call the official mother out of the house...

She must live well and live for herself!

Tan Sheng's brain was chaotic, and there seemed to be hundreds of voices rolling and shouting inside, and the blood in his body was surging, boiling with a poof.

It's just that the official's mother has always looked forward to going to Nanchang. The official's mother felt that when she arrived in Nanchang, she Zhao Tansheng would become an official lady, and she would never live a life of worrying about food and clothing again...

"Mother Guan," Tan Sheng forced his voice to calm down, "what time is it?"

"It's almost time. The official's mother looked at it and leaked even more.

Tan Sheng nodded, she wasn't smart in the first place, and there was little hope for her to remember what time one night more than ten years ago. When it is ugly, it is gold, gold is profit, and gold sees water as blood, so maybe the water bandit came when it was ugly?

Tan Sheng looked at it, and the captain was facing the river, showing his back. The cabin was lit with three old porcelain oil lamps, and the captain was reluctant to light more, and the whole cabin was black, with only a few clusters of shimmering light crumbling, so that people could just see within an arm's arm.

The canopy and the old wooden hull were terrifyingly dark in the night.

Tan Sheng whispered to the official's mother, "Is there still lamp oil in the boat?"

"I guess there is. The official's mother was not sure, "The lamp oil burns fast, and there is no light, why is it a boat?"

Tan Sheng touched a silver ingot the size of a fingernail from his bosom, "Mom, go talk to the boat boss, please bring him another oil lamp and a bottle of lamp oil, I want to read a book." ”

The official's mother whispered, "An oil lamp is less than ten coppers!"

Tan Sheng shoved the silver ingot into the official's mother's hand, "Mom, listen to me, you can make more money when the money is gone." ”

The opportunity is missed, the life is gone, but there is really nothing.

Tan Sheng had a rare and resolute attitude, although the official's mother felt strange, she couldn't do it, so she took her skirt and went to find the boss of the boat. Far away, Tan Sheng couldn't see clearly, only to see the boss of the boat collect the money, and then pry open the side of the boat and take things out of the dark compartment. The official's mother came back with a blue face, Xu was angry with the boss of the boat again, and handed the lamp oil and lamp to Tan Sheng, seeing Tan Sheng holding the oil bottle in his hand, he didn't understand what she was doing.

The official's mother opened her mouth to ask, but Tan Sheng quickly shook his head and made a silent gesture, and heard the little girl lower her voice, "Mom, if I tell you that there will be water bandits robbing the ship later, do you believe it?"

The official's mother was shocked.

Tan Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, in the dim light, the silhouette of the little girl was softened by the light, like crow sideburns honestly scattered behind her, for the convenience of hurrying, hastily pulled a low bun. Although she was wearing old cotton clothes, she couldn't stand up to her tall figure, and the little girl laughed like a beautiful banana outside the old house in Guangyang, very gorgeous, beautiful, very bright, and no light could suppress it.

The official's mother was shaken and lost her mind for a while, and quickly shook her head, learning to lower her voice as Tan Sheng learned, "That... What should I do?"

The official's mother is not even curious about why she said that!

It has always been what she says, and the official's mother will do it. The only person in the world who thinks she's smart is the official's mother, and now that I think about it, it's just two stupid people comforting each other.

Do it again, and the official's mother is still like this.

Tan Sheng really raised his eyebrows and smiled this time, and it would be good to do it again. Tan Sheng whispered, and the official's mother nodded again and again, and held back for a long time before saying, "Then what if there are no thieves..."

"Isn't it better if there isn't?" Tan Sheng was surprised, "There are no water bandits, do we still have to come to the door to invite us?"

The official's mother pondered for a moment, and felt that what her girl said was quite reasonable, and couldn't help but nod sincerely.

The night is dark and windy, the cold is pressing, and a thin curtain shelters the wind.

Tan Sheng lay in the cabin, listening to the wind whistling in his ears. Tan Sheng held the half-empty lamp oil bottle in his arms, there was a faint smell of seed oil on the tip of his nose, and there were dry old clothes piled up at his feet, and the cool silver was placed close to his body through the dirty clothes. The official mother next to her was not asleep, panting unevenly, flipping back and forth.

Tan Sheng clasped his hands on his chest and listened to his heartbeat.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Full of life.
