Chapter 19: The Dumb Lady Has Secrets
Such a beautiful lady like a flower can't speak!
I'm sure everyone is sighing in their hearts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw the maidservant beside her interpreting to us: "Madame said that when she saw this girl, she was shocked and lost her temper for a while, I hope you will not be surprised." ”
I don't believe it, her look is quite the same as when Min Qiu saw me, could it be that it is Yueniang's old acquaintance?
I glanced at Min Qiu, and he looked at the Dragon Lady equally thoughtfully.
Everyone sat down, I picked a long couch by the window and sat down, while sipping the tea brought by the maidservant, while enjoying the scenery outside the river.
Gu Yinqi said: "I don't know what the relationship between Mrs. and my Gu family is?" ”
The dragon lady made another comparison.
It turned out that this Mrs. Long was originally the daughter of the right Cheng of Shu, and the right Cheng bent the law for personal gain, and the king of Shu personally tried the court and sentenced him to behead his family, and all the members of the family were exiled.
It's just that seeing that she is young and mute, and that she was born in the outer room, Kai graciously exempted her from the sin of exile of her mother and daughter, and personally inscribed poems on the fan and gave it to her, hoping that she would not forget her ancestral sins and live a good life.
Gu Yin nodded silently, thinking that he had heard about it.
Mrs. Nalong continued to gesture, she has always been grateful for the grace of the king of Shu, this time I heard that the prince escaped, was rewarded by the king of Liang, I expected that we would take a boat down the river, will come to Luzhou, so here to marquis.
Today, I heard that the prince had appeared, so I hurriedly sent people to look around, guessing that we would go to the docks, and sure enough, the people of the Dragon Head Gang found them in time.
According to what she said, Juyuan Commercial Bank has bet its heavy treasure on King Meng, and the Li family's main residence has also moved north, this time to set a trap to seize the "Heavenly Soldier Chronicles" and dedicate it to Meng.
And Li Yuhuai is the biggest force in the rivers and lakes that the Meng Dynasty relies on - a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and he is very treacherous.
Min Qiu waited for the maid to finish relaying, and said, "Didn't Xiaoyao Sect support the former King Meng?" It is said that he is not on the side of Prime Minister Yoo Cheng, who is currently in power. ”
Mrs. Long explained that at this time and that time, Xiaoyao Sect originally supported the former crown prince of Meng, and Prime Minister Liu supported the current king of Meng.
After the independence of the vassal states, the former prince was killed for treason, and Xiaoyaozong eliminated the suspicion with Prime Minister Liu Cheng and reunited to support the current King Meng.
It turns out that there is such a deep connection between the power of the rivers and lakes and the court, I secretly thought. No wonder Gu Yin will worship under the real people of Guiyang, it seems that behind every ruling family, there is a great master of the rivers and lakes.
I only heard Min Qiu snort coldly and said disdainfully: "It's just a puppet." ”
I glanced at him, he was quite familiar with these court affairs.
Gu Yin thanked for his kindness first, and then said: "That lady is like this, aren't you afraid that King Liang will retaliate against the Dragon Head Gang?" ”
When Mrs. Long heard this, she changed her shy look, and became proud, tilting her pretty chin slightly, and her ten slender onion fingers flew and gestured:
The Longtou Gang is the actual controller of the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River, from the source of the middle of the Sichuan to the Three Gorges of Badong, each wharf is the territory of the Longtou Gang, and there are more than 10,000 sons and daughters under him, all of whom are good at water in the wind and waves.
King Liang's march into Padang this time must first take care of the dragon head gang and not interfere before he dares to let the sailors enter the river. They don't dare to guarantee that we will go to Hunan country, but this part of the road to Padang will keep us safe.
This is equivalent to tens of thousands of professional water army! I let out a cool breath. If Gu Yin had the help of these people and united with Xiang, who would be able to break through the Yangtze River defense line?
I looked at Mrs. Long's pretty face, inexplicably full of affection for her, and seemed to be extremely familiar, this person should be trustworthy.
I walked away for a while, and when I listened closely, they were already talking about how to act.
The Dragons will arrange for us to board a regular passenger ship, which, of course, is theirs. Mixed in with the ordinary customer group, it arrived in Patong safely.
This is the most ideal, avoiding the interrogation of the officers and soldiers, and slipping away without knowing it.
Gu Yin looked at me, and I nodded slightly.
He then said to Mrs. Long: "Then thank Mrs. for your help, and the great favor will be repaid in the future." ”
Madame Long shook her head with a smile, pointed at me and gestured, "This girl, but the crown princess?" Is it a Sichuan Shu person? ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and explained: "The slave family is just a maid of His Royal Highness, who grew up in Sichuan and Shu since childhood. ”
Madame Long stopped asking, and her eyes stopped on me thoughtfully.
Finally, we will be put on a passenger ship bound for Patong early the next morning.
The reception dinner for Gu Yin began in this riverside courtyard, and Mrs. Long arranged the most famous whole fish banquet by the riverside.
Steamed, boiled, spicy roasted, fried, soured, and all kinds of fatty fish from the river were placed on a table, which greatly satisfied my empty appetite for several days.
As soon as I was eighty percent full, I saw Min Qiu glaring at me across the table, and then walked to the corridor outside the dining room.
I saw that Gu Yin and Mrs. Long were chatting happily, and Wufeng and Sanxing were also chatting while eating, so I put down my chopsticks and quietly came to the hall.
This dining room promenade, like a terrace jutting out of the river, is one step closer to the water than the indoor riverside windows. The simple wooden platform extends out without a railing.
I ran over and sat on the edge of the wooden platform, my feet dangling, swaying, "bang, bang, bang", layers of waves gently lapping along the soles of my shoes.
"Be careful of falling." Min Qiu appeared next to him.
"Qingjiang fishing Mars is full of sparks, and the night breeze blows the pillow without sleeping. When you have enough to eat and drink, go to sleep, and escape tomorrow to be born. "I'm a big poet and a chapter of exports.
Min Qiu made a vomiting expression, tugged at my bun, and said, "Seriously, do you think Madam Long is reliable?" ”
"What if it's unreliable, there's no other way, let's talk about it when we get on the boat. It's a big deal to grab the boat and drive to Padang by himself, Liang Jun can't seal up the entire river for a reason. ”
Min Qiu's face was heavy, and he also sat down like me, and said, "She seems to know Yueniang." ”
"Do you think too?" It seemed that I was not mistaken, and I said, "She was just as surprised when she saw me just now as she was when you first saw me." ”
Min Qiu nodded, and said along his train of thought: "I think too, but I haven't heard Yueniang say that she knows the lady of the Dragon Head Gang." And she has been in the deep palace, how can she have a chance to get acquainted with people in the rivers and lakes? ”
"Deep Palace?" I was surprised.
Min Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Look at me, Shenshan, it is said to be a deep palace." ”
"Deep in the mountains? Yueniang also lives in seclusion in the mountains? ”
"Almost, anyway, she doesn't have a chance to make a strong person." Min Qiu said with certainty.
I looked at him suspiciously, and the deep mountains were said to be deep palaces? What logic?
Min Qiu was still thinking, "Then what are the intentions of Lady Long?" ”
I said how I felt: "For some reason, I had a gut feeling that she could be trusted, but I felt that she was hiding a lot from us. ”
"Before you get on the boat tomorrow, you should make a hexagram to see if there is anything to pay extra attention to, and after you get on the boat, you should also be careful everywhere."
"Hmm." I nodded.
After Min Qiu finished speaking, I went to the house first, and I sat alone by the water, listening to the waves of the river and enjoying the river breeze.
Suddenly, I heard a gentle voice in the night shouting: "Yueniang." ”
Who? I looked around, and when I looked back, I saw that Mrs. Long, supported by her maidservant, was going out towards me.
She can't speak, who was calling Yueniang just now? Am I hallucinating?
I shook my head.
Mrs. Long came to my side, sat down cross-legged, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Madame said, I have never seen such a good-looking person as the girl, I don't know if the girl has a sister, Madame wants to be a matchmaker." ”
Sister? This is an excuse to find out my details.
I replied frankly: "There are no sisters and sisters, so Madame might as well be a matchmaker for me." ”
The maid covered her mouth and chuckled, for example, although today's customs are relatively open, the woman takes the initiative to be a matchmaker, which is still quite shameless.
Mrs. Long was also stunned, and then smiled brightly, revealing two rows of shell teeth, and made a comparison, and the maidservant said: "Madam said, a straightforward and atmospheric woman like a girl is just a match for His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is no need for others to be a matchmaker." ”
My face was slightly hot, but fortunately I couldn't see it clearly in the night, so I went straight to the point: "Does Madame know a woman named Yueniang?" ”
Seeing that Mrs. Long's smile froze, she shook her head slightly, and asked me why she asked me like this.
I said, "It's just because someone said that I looked like a person named Yueniang, and I thought my wife knew me, so I was so surprised to see me." ”
I saw her mouth open, and the shape of her mouth was clearly a "who".
She gestured again, and the maidservant said, "Who said that?" ”
I scratched my head, pretended to be thinking hard, and said, "I can't remember, I've heard it a long time ago." ”
She had a disappointed look on her face.
At this time, Gu Yin also came, and Mrs. Long got up and bowed, and went into the house first.
As soon as Gu Yin sat down, I said, "She's not dumb. ”
