(one hundred and thirty-nine) southward
This question was not understood until Song Mier got on the boat heading south and personally arranged the respective residences of the other three. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the southern tour was a long one, and she had time to figure it out.
Duan Zhaoyi's question didn't understand why she would bring Yuan Wanyou and ask Liu Shuxing to guard the palace, but she seemed to have a little frown.
Naturally, he wouldn't believe it, Shen Zhan simply wanted to find someone who matched his fate to tour the south together.
"How much turmoil and turmoil has there been in the northwest in recent days?"
Song Mier looked at the note in his hand and frowned in thought.
"Yes." Qinghe on the side said in a low voice, "This is the news from someone in our house before the slave maid left the palace." The master asked the slave and the maid to go down to inquire, and the slave and maid passed the news and returned home, and fortunately received the news before leaving the palace, which was this one. ”
"Well done." Song Mier nodded, and a happy smile appeared on Qinghe's face, and his cheeks were slightly red because of excitement.
"The slave maid also got news from the second lady, saying that there have been several small-scale battles in the northwest since the beginning of spring, and King Liang asked for reinforcements from the imperial court, and His Majesty sent General Yuan and General Yuan to go with him."
Zhu Lu on the side also added.
Unlike Qinghe, Zhu Lu Yulan's news was naturally obtained from the rivers and lakes and from Song Miqing.
Qinghe sent the news to the Song Mansion, this news was naturally sent back by Song Mier's father and brother, focusing on the overall situation, outlining the situation at the border in a few words, and the rest of the affairs of the court's harem were guessed by Song Mier, who they trusted.
Zhu Lu Yulan sent the news to Song Miqing, Song Miqing has her own news network, which of her restaurants, tea shops, commercial houses, and money houses is not a good place to inquire about the news? is a ranger running around, although his tone is tight, but in the face of Song Miqing, he is also willing to say a thing or two. The news they got was, of course, more detailed, starting from the details, and correcting the news of the Song Mansion from the side.
Song Mier carefully digested the news obtained from the two places, and naturally understood the reason that Shen Zhan would order Yuan Wanyou to tour the south together.
It's okay to say it's a hostage, it's okay to say it's a king, and it's not wrong to understand it as a king's grace.
Yuan Wanyou followed Shen Zhan on a southern tour, with several meanings, and General Yuan, who wanted to come to the northwest for an expedition, could also understand that there was naturally no reason not to fight to kill the enemy.
However, why did you want Liu Shuxing to sit in the harem? Although the phoenix seal was given to the Queen Mother, and Qin Shuya watched from the side, there should be no big mess, but he left the palace for many days and asked Liu Shuxing to be alone, this is the first time, and Song Mier always has some suspense in his heart.
Besides, Duan Zhaoyi, many people were talking about it before leaving the palace, and Duan Zhaoyi actually climbed on everyone's head silently.
I didn't see Shen Zhan treat her more favorably on weekdays, when did she fall into his eyes again?
Song Mier didn't know about Shen Zhan's private transaction with Liu Shuxing, and he didn't know that Shen Zhan already had a problem when Liu Shuxing recommended Mei Yurong, who looked similar to his old friend, for no reason, and he had a speculation in his heart.
And Duan Zhaoyi, Song Mier's impression of her is still in the impression that she was good friends with He Mengjie, and later parted ways for some reason.
In Song Mier's impression, Duan Zhaoyi will always be a little resolute and light, and she has a good impression of her, she does not compete for favor, nor does she rely on her position to bully others, and she is really a clear stream among the palace concubines, but this time she quietly followed Shen Zhan to the south tour. These few of them, all of them have backgrounds, just one Duan Zhaoyi, who is not favored and has no proud identity, Shen Zhan called her, why is it?
Song Mier frowned, his fingers tapped on the edge of the window, but his thoughts were surging rapidly, the room was silent, Qinghe and Zhu Lu stood on both sides, because the atmosphere was dull, Qinghe's dissatisfaction with Zhu Lu stealing his limelight disappeared instantly, for fear that he would accidentally make a sound, which would make the master who was thinking unhappy, and make the master disgusted with himself, but the gain outweighed the loss.
Comforting the spring and touring the south, it was originally a matter of not running around, and Song Mier was the queen again, so this trip naturally brought his closest four people, Qinghe, Zhu Lu, Yulan, and Chukong. Zhu Lu Yulan will be good at martial arts and poison, it must not be thrown aside and not taken out of the palace, the beginning of the hollow is simple, leaving her in the palace Song Mier is not at ease, Qinghe has always done things properly, although it has been a little too much, but also because of himself and cares about chaos, in general, she is still a good maid, and she is used to being taken care of, and she is not used to it. There are no first-class palace maids in the palace, but Dexiu stays in the palace, and there is Shujie Mama guarding her, so she is naturally impregnable, and she is very relieved.
Song Mier thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of a name, but the tip of her nose smelled the aroma of food, and then diverted her attention. Song Mier raised his head and was about to speak, when the door in front of the small hall was pushed open.
"Master, come and try it, the steamed mandarin fish and milk soup crucian carp made by Sister Yulan, this crucian carp today is amazing, with the best spices and flower carvings, and the storage is even more delicious than the previous two days!" Chu Kong held a large square wooden plate in his hand, and a plate and cup were placed on the wooden plate, all of which were steaming hot, and the fragrance also emitted with the heat, and slowly filled the whole room.
"Tell you to talk fast! Don't say anything to you, so that the master can guess what spices are used in this fish, you are good, you haven't served it to the master's table yet, you have said everything in one go, what about the promise you just gave me? "It was Yulan who followed behind, because she had to study all kinds of poisonous materials, and she had to prevent others from poisoning the ingredients. She walked behind Chukong, reached out and pulled Chukong's fleshy face, stretched out her hand and turned around, and easily walked away from Chukong holding a somewhat struggling wooden plate, "Tell you to run fast!" As soon as his footsteps were raised, he was placed in front of Song Mier's case in a blink of an eye.
"Ouch, good sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, my subordinates are merciful!" As early as when Yu Lan grabbed her cheeks, Chu Kong begged for mercy, her hand relaxed, she immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled, jumped forward, and hugged Yu Lan who had just put the wooden plate away, and the whole person was about to rely on Yu Lan's body, "The master is so smart, where do you still need to guess, just smell it like this, you will know it immediately, sister, if I sell a good job in the master first, this journey is long, the master is happy, and I will reward me with more delicious food!" ”
"Hey! Call you stupid, you're really not bad! You want to please your master, why did you forget that you are the one who makes food, but you Sister Yulan and I, I won't do it for you when the time comes, see if you are in a hurry! Yu Lan pretended to be angry, crossed her waist with one hand, and was about to twist Chukong's ears with one hand.
"Oops! Forget about this stubble! Chukong also pretended to be frightened, hiding behind Qinghe.
After some laughter, he finally stopped, and the two fish meat in front of Song Mier's eyes were not so hot, just enough to eat.
"Master, let's try it, today we have walked the boundary of Yongzhou, docked along the river bank in the morning, the slave saw that there were already fresh mandarin fish on the shore of this port, so they bought more, let's eat all the way, wait until we arrive in Xiangzhou and other places, and then taste the authentic mandarin fish raised in Xiangdi Xiangshui!"
This southern tour, walking is most of the southeast and small half of the Jiangnan area, along the canal straight downstream, through Liaozhou, Jingzhou, Luozhou, north and south, through Yongzhou, Huizhou, and then down is the destination of the southern tour. At that time, the first stop is Xiangzhou, dock in Xiangzhou, change to take a carriage, pass through Xiangzhou, Jinzhou, Liuzhou, and then go to Jiangnan Qing, Yu Erzhou, and then take a boat to return to the capital, which is the southern tour.
Qingzhou and Yuzhou have the reputation of "12 Prefectures in the South of the Yangtze River" since ancient times, "the Vermilion Bird Palace in the sky, the 12 Mansions in the South of the Yangtze River", this "12 Mansions in the South of the Yangtze River" refers to the 12 large states in the south of the Yangtze River, with superior geographical location, fertile land, abundant products, many talented and beautiful women, and many delicious wines and delicacies. The Song family is the invisible master of the twelve mansions in Jiangnan, as long as you are in Jiangnan, even if you are a low-level slave of the Song family, others are respectful, as if they are worshipping their masters. Fortunately, the Song family has been inherited for a hundred years, the family style is rigorous, the vision is broad, and there has never been the intention of selling fame and fame to win fame and profit.
There are not many beauties in Qingzhou and Yuzhou, but there are a lot of students, the Song family has set up a private school here, originally wanted to educate those who went out and came to Qingzhou and Yuzhou, but there are too many people who come to admire, and the Song family also understands the truth of the tree, so they simply gave this private school belonging to the Song family to the royal family, and the Song family is willing to be a gentleman, so they go to class inside, so that the reputation of the Song family is more prosperous, and the royal family also feels that the Song family is a person who understands current affairs, and he does not dare to act without permission, so he is also safe. Private school became a public school, and there were people from the Song family to teach, and more people came. In addition, Qingzhou and Yuzhou are close to the southeastern states, and the other ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, because of the Song family, each state basically has a public school with the royal family, or a small private school, and there is no shortage of other universities and universities to sit here; Basically, they will not all flock to Qingzhou and Yuzhou, but the southeast is different, and those who want to get a good education and are unwilling to go too far from home to Beijing to study will basically choose Qingzhou and Yuzhou's public schools, therefore, Qingzhou and Yuzhou have become the last two destinations of Shen Zhan's southern tour.
And Xiangzhou, Jinzhou and Liuzhou in the southeast are naturally full of talents. Only food and clothing can know honor and disgrace, the same, only the material conditions are abundant, only have the energy to read and reason, the southeast and south of the Yangtze River since ancient times because of geographical reasons, have the reputation of "the land of fish and rice" and "golden waterway", and the three states in the southeast selected by the southern tour are the southeast focus of the spring care. It is also logical for Shen Zhan to choose these three states.
In Shen Zhan's plan, counting the time that has passed in the journey, this southern tour will take about a month, from the beginning of the spring festival to the end of the spring festival, the time is just right, and what Shen Zhan wants to do is not only to be inspiring, but more importantly, he wants to use Song Mier and others as an excuse to make those people in the shadows think that they are just for the southern part of the spring to inspect, and he also has the opportunity to secretly inspect, in this southeast area, who is hindering the reform of the spring festival, Shen Zhan has never felt, Just by the casual shouting of those old bones in the court, it really can't be reformed.
They came down from the north, because of the spring flood, and sat on a specially modified big boat, and went very fast, Liaozhou, Jingzhou, Luozhou three states have not stopped, today to Yongzhou, it is already the fifth day of sailing, and in two days, you can enter the boundary of Xiangzhou.
The first stop is Xiangzhou, with Zhang Nanguang, Lord Zhang must also weigh it well, whether to be a local snake to get off the horse, or for the sake of his granddaughter, he will honestly be the gatekeeper of the first stop in Xiangzhou?
The boat that Song Mier is sitting on now is also exquisite, the boat has five floors, showing the royal style everywhere, the top floor is the residence of Shen Zhan and Song Mier, two large wings, the slightly larger one occupies the left side, naturally Shen Zhan's wing room and study, Song Mier's is slightly smaller, but it is also big enough, closely attached to the side of Shen Zhan's wing, half a head lower, and the area is less than a study.
The second floor is the residence of Yuan Wanyou, Duan Zhaoyi and Zhang Concubine, which is still in order according to their position, and the third floor is the residence of several masters and palace people, the chief eunuch and the young attendant are separated from the palace maids, and the palace maids who do not retreat in the master's wing room or rest on the front bed all live here; On weekdays, the two sides of the ship go upstairs separately, separated by a wall in between. The fourth floor is the guard's quarters, and the fifth floor of the ship is equipped with a galley, a storehouse for the master's utensils, etc., and in the cabin, in addition to the necessary sailing equipment, the servants' quarters and the ship's warehouse are also located here. In addition, there are loyal Shen Zhan's guard handles at all levels to ensure safety, and there are Nobunaga, urgent and major letters will be passed through the fast horse and the eagle respectively, and will be handed over to Shen Zhan's hands in the fastest time, and then passed back in the fastest time. And when they arrive in Xiangzhou, there will be a carriage to answer them.
Shen Zhan arranged all the links properly, the southern tour was important, and the lives of himself and others were naturally important.
The boat traveled for two more days and had arrived in Xiangzhou.
