Chapter 194: Out to Sea

"Not me." Tan is said, "It's you Lord Zhan and the young man of Zhantai." ”

The silver screen "tsk" a few times, and said with a clear face: "They are really, they go out to play, why are they still sneaking around like this, and we don't tell Mrs. Su to go." ”

Dou Miaojing couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth. Yinping thought that Dou Zhan was going out to have fun!

Since there were no suspicious people, they could go back to sleep with peace of mind. Dou Miaojing was blessed with Tan and walked back.

Tan Shi stopped him: "Second Miss." ”

Dou Miaojing looked back in surprise.

Kazufeng often says that Tan is a freak. In Zhu Jingyan's place, he is not afraid of scolding, even the kneeling brick that Heming is most afraid of, and he can kneel for several days without blinking, as if he wants to break the brick under his knee. He never took the initiative to negotiate with anyone, except for Zhu Jingyan. He had many sins on his hands, and he was a man with blood on his back. Compared to Heming, he is a completely different existence.

She never thought that Tan would take the initiative to talk to her. She thought that even if Tan obeyed Zhu Jingyan's order to protect her, she would only be a silent gourd.

"You call me?" She walked back.

Tan was a little cramped, squeezed his fist under his sleeve, and squeezed out a sentence: "What you asked Miss Yunshang to give me is very suitable." Thank you, Miss Two. ”

It turned out to be this way.

As soon as she returned to the tea garden from Zhuangzi two days ago, she instructed Zhou Yunshang to prepare a few changes of clothes, shoes and socks for Tan, she thought it was just to show her heart, but she didn't think Tan cared so much.

She smiled and said, "I bought it from a ready-to-wear store, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it." ”

"Good, really good." Tan blushed and smiled embarrassedly.

Although Dou Miaojing hasn't seen Tan is a few times. But I've never seen him smile. I can't help but ask, "Hasn't anyone ever made you clothes, shoes and socks, or given you anything?" ”

Tan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned even redder, like an orange in the flickering candlelight.

"When I was young, Zephyr gave me a handkerchief." He said abruptly.

Dou Miaojing swore with two lifetimes of life, and she understood. I can't help but sweat for the sandalwood. Japanese wind is "talking about sandalwood color change". I'm afraid Tan is going to be sad. She didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Hefeng is a good girl." ”

Tan agrees with this, and grinning much more honestly than before.

"Uncle Zhan and Uncle Yu are not here. This courtyard will ask Tan is son to bother more. Dou Miaojing skillfully opened the topic of Japanese wind.

Tan is actually a simple person, and when he heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "Miss calls me Tan Yes." Tan is originally on the order of the prince of the county to protect the young lady, please rest assured, even if the old man Zhan and the young master of the Tai are here. I'm going to be exhausted too. ”

Dou Miaojing smiled and went back to the house.

Uncle Zhan and Uncle Yu were really not in the courtyard. Where will they go? It's definitely not like the silver screen thinks, to have fun.

With something in his heart, coupled with the recognition of the bed, Dou Miaojing did not sleep well this night. I woke up in the morning with two dark circles under my eyes. startled Zhou Yunsheng, who came to serve her to wash, and Yinping took white eggs to her while muttering and counting her.

Dou Miaojing's head also swelled. He asked in a daze, "Is Uncle Zhan back?" ”

"I don't know when the slave and maid will come back, but when the slave and maid get up. I saw Master Zhan and Yu Gongzi boxing in the courtyard. Yinping said.

Come and go without a trace, it's too insincere for the two of them to bring themselves over, right?

Dou Miaojing was a little angry. Waiting for Zhou Yunshang to comb her hair, she went out, and sure enough, she saw Dou Zhan only wearing a single coat, boxing in the sparse morning mist, while Taiyu was sitting under the osmanthus tree drinking tea. Seeing her go out, Dou Zhan exhaled, strode over with a smile, and rubbed Dou Miaojing's freshly combed head with his big hand, teasing her: "Little lazy worm, get up so late." Hey? Didn't sleep well last night? Seeing the green shadow under her eyes, Dou Zhan was surprised.

was asked like this, Dou Miaojing's temper suddenly disappeared, and he said angrily: "The wind is so strong, the tiles are swishing, and I can't sleep." ”

"Can't sleep?" Dou Zhan's eyebrows jumped.

Dou Miaojing took the opportunity to ask, "Where did you and Uncle Yu go last night?" Don't lie to me that I didn't go out, I didn't fall asleep and saw you fly out. And don't lie to me about going shopping, I won't believe it. ”

"You stinky girl!" Dou Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, and said mysteriously, "I'm going to the ancestral house." ”

"Huh?" Dou Miaojing's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What can you find?" ”

Yu Taiyu shook his head in front of the tea table: "I haven't found anything." ”

"Oh......" Dou Miaojing was a little stunned, although she had already guessed this result in her heart. But strangely, there is always a feeling that if you can't find something, you don't necessarily have nothing. The more this is the case, the more difficult it is to feel at ease.

She frowned and said, "Uncle Zhan, why do we live here and not go to the ancestral house?" Then maybe we can look more closely. If you're afraid that they're suspicious of something, then I'll go alone, and I'll be able to wander around alone, maybe I'll know more, and they won't be wary of a little girl like me. What's more, there is Tan Yes who has come and gone without a trace, she is very relieved.

Dou Zhan flicked on her forehead: "Silly girl, now is not the time." ”

"Why?" Dou Miaojing was puzzled.

"You follow us out, there are always people in Lin'an City who are worried about you. At that time, it is also possible to go to the ancestral house and ask about your current situation. We just need to go to the ancestral house before that, and now that we have free time, we can naturally catch up from wherever we want, and we don't have to be tied. This is called the enemy in the dark, and we are in the dark. Dou Zhan said, as if he was confident, "Don't be idle today, go to the sea with us!" ”

"To the sea?" Dou Miaojing was surprised.

Dou Zhan's face turned straight: "You don't want to go?" There are many fishermen who make a living from fishing, and you can fish and eat grilled fish from the sea. ”

“…… Uncle Zhan, I want to ask, what are we going to sea for? ”

Dou Zhan threw her a knowingly asked look: "Sea fishing!" ”

Sea Fishing ...... in the Big Winter Also, this is not the right thing to come to Ningbo to watch Haiwei at all! Dou Miaojing felt that she was following the wrong person, and Dou Zhan was too out of tune.

She was about to ask Taiyu, but Dou Zhan patted her head: "Eat breakfast, eat breakfast." ”

Dou Miaojing had no choice but to sigh in her heart, and after eating breakfast slowly. So he changed his clothes and took a carriage, and followed Dou Zhan and them to a small fishing village by the sea. Dou Zhan somewhere got a large fishing boat that could accommodate more than a dozen people, and there were a few fishermen with very strong bodies in cloaks. Not long after they got on the boat, an old man in his fifties came from the village. Xiang Dou Zhan and Yu Taiyu arched their hands: "I don't know where the two sons are going?" What kind of seafood do you want to eat and how to eat it? The daughter-in-law of the old family is a good cook. ”

You're really here to eat seafood...... Dou Miaojing couldn't help but slander.

It turns out that the fishermen of this fishing village occasionally do other businesses. For example, this old man. It is the head of this fishing village. The rich merchant in the city liked to play something fresh, so he rented a fishing boat in the village and went out to sea with the fishermen, and the fish caught came to the village to cook. That's what makes a living. Every year, you can also earn a lot of silver taels for the village. So the few prime men on the boat were all villagers in the village, probably working separately from the old man. And sea fishing will be different because of the different sea areas, the fish caught are different. Therefore, the old man asked this question before sailing, so as not to take the wrong road.

Dou Zhan thought for a while: "My little niece only likes to eat octopus. Can you catch it? ”

Who loves octopus anymore!

Dou Miaojing couldn't help muttering, she hated octopus the most. It's so ugly. It's also slippery and sticky.

"Are you cold?" Yu Taiyu asked with concern, and took off his big coat and draped it over her shoulder.

Dou Miaojing suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders, and a heat with a lot of heat in her body penetrated into her muscles and bones along the big cloud. Her heart was warm, and she glanced at Dou Zhan: Look at others. This is called elders! How can there be elders who pull juniors to come to the beach to blow cold winds in winter. Obviously, I want to play, but I have to set up a righteous and awe-inspiring reason. Dislike!

The old man's face changed when he heard this: "Miss wants to eat octopus?" ”

"yes." Dou Miaojing had no choice but to answer stiffly.

The old man was anxious to get off the boat, and as he walked, he beckoned the strong men to pull the boat away: "The three old men are incompetent. We don't allow octopus fishing here, so let's ask another smart one. ”

"Huh?" Dou Zhan hurriedly pulled him down. "Then you've got to tell me why, right? I've got all the money ready, and if you can make a bid, I'll be able to pay it." ”

looks like a dumb kid and a scoundrel.

The old man broke out in a cold sweat: "Son, let's let the old man go, no matter how much money it is, we won't go." ”

That's weird!

Dou Miaojing couldn't help but look at Dou Zhan. Uncle Zhan is not a vexatious person, let alone a person who will embarrass people for no reason. Why did he hold on to the octopus? Or is it something else? Her eyes rolled and she asked the old man, "Is it difficult to catch octopus?" ”

The old man was pulled by Dou Zhan, he couldn't break it no matter how he earned it, and his face turned red in a hurry. Seeing that Dou Zhan was unrelenting, he had no choice but to beg Dou Miaojing for mercy: "Wherever there are octopuses in our area, there are often ships from the Black Flag Alliance. Do you know about the Black Flag Alliance? They don't blink an eye when they kill. We're not going, um~~~ We're not going. Several young men in our village have died under the sword of the Black Flag Alliance, they are the devil! ”

Black Flag?!

Sure enough, Uncle Zhan brought them here not for no reason. Hum! Don't tell her yet.

"Black Flag Alliance......" Dou Zhan scratched his neck, "Is it really so terrifying?" Have any of you here seen anyone from the Black Flag League? ”

The old man looked at him with a dark face: "Childe said that he was joking, but anyone who has seen the Black Flag Alliance, will they still have the life to come back alive?" ”

"Oh...... It's really a rush to kill. Dou Zhan touched his chin.

Yu Taiyu said, "Why don't you eat something else?" Octopus isn't necessarily tasty either. ”

"Hmm...... Little niece, don't cry if you don't eat octopus! Dou Zhan grinned and touched Dou Miaojing's nose a little.

Dou Miaojing frowned in disgust, and after he let go, he wiped his nose with a roll. The old man can't ask anything here for the time being, so it's better to take his time and let the old man speak slowly.

Her gaze pulled from the golden shore to the blue sea, where the ups and downs seemed peaceful and serene, but there was a ruthless Black Flag League, stirring the peace.

Dou Miaojing's mind couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light, and asked the old man: "Do you know where the Black Flag Alliance is entrenched?" ”

"In the southern part of the sea, there are more than a dozen rich islands, all of which belong to the Black Flag Alliance. In addition, I am afraid that above the East China Sea, there are people from the Black Flag Alliance everywhere. The old man said.

"Does the court not care?" Dou Miaojing was curious.

The old man sighed helplessly, as if he didn't want to say.

Dou Miaojing understood, but he was afraid that it was the collusion of officials and bandits. It's a shame that this is the place where the cavalry general swept the thieves on the East Island, but I didn't expect that in less than a hundred years, the local parents and officials would forget all about such a backbone. But that's fine, since the Black Flag Alliance has collusion with the official family, this at least provides them with another way to investigate.

She smiled and said, "I still want to eat octopus, Uncle Zhan, let's go to other fishermen's houses and ask?" ”

Dou Zhan gave her an appreciative look and nodded: "It's okay, it's good if you're happy." But he still took a few heavy ingots of silver out of his purse, stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said apologetically, "My niece is very willful, and she must not give up if she can't eat octopus today, so I, as an uncle, have to take a risk." I don't know if these few taels of silver are enough to buy this ship? ”

"Buying a boat?" The old man was dumbfounded.

Dou Zhan added another ingot: "Is it enough?" ”

Of course it's enough, it's enough to buy a house.

Dou Miaojing silently slandered.

The old man took the silver tremblingly and looked at Dou Zhan incredulously. Is this young man in front of him stupid? That's enough money to buy ten big ships. These are the fortune boys, right?

"Uncle Zhan, presumably they won't sell, so forget it!" Seeing that Dou Zhan was working so hard, Dou Miaojing decided to add fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, the old man hugged the silver in his arms and held it tightly, as if he was afraid that they would go back again.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, as soon as the old man took the strong man away, the three of them were left when they put them on, and they were a few maids and girls on the silver screen.

Tan walked silently from the bow to the stern, and seemed to check the boat inside and out, and was relieved to see that it was okay. However, when he walked to Dou Zhan's side, he still glanced at Dou Zhan with the eyes of an idiot. Spending so much money to buy a broken ship, the Dou family's money is really too much.

Dou Zhan didn't care, and asked Taiyu: "Do you know how to sail?" ”

Yu Taiyu chuckled: "Brother Zhan didn't entertain me, did he?" Have you forgotten what business my family is? ”

Is it okay for people to drive boats?

Dou Miaojing shook his head, picked a more comfortable position in the boat, put the silver screen on a soft cushion, and sat down.

With Taiyu at the helm, his servants held the oars in the bilge, and as soon as the small sails were retracted, they staggered slowly and slowly sailed towards the sea. (To be continued)
