146. Who can stop you?
Early the next morning, as soon as Cheng Linghui got up, she heard Xiao Er say that someone was looking for her outside. When I came out www.biquge.info the pen fun pavilion, I saw that it was a girl I didn't know. Fourteen or fifteen years old, she looks like a maid from a big family.
Cheng Linghui was thinking, she didn't know this girl. Suddenly, I saw a carriage parked outside the inn. Chu Qingyan was looking out of the car window. Seeing her come over, he arched his hand at her. made a drinking gesture. Cheng Linghui remembered that he had said yesterday that he would invite himself to drink. He waved his hand and refused, turning around and going back to the inn. The little girl had no choice but to go back to the carriage and shake her head at the owner of the carriage.
Cheng Linghui was eating breakfast while pondering about Lu Jiawu. After I went to find Huang Gu yesterday, I didn't have that dream again at night. It is better to believe in the things of ghosts and gods than to believe in them. Even if you don't do anything, those unjust souls can't stand idly by when they ask for their heads.
Thinking of Huang Gu's appearance, it is estimated that she will be raised for a while. I didn't do my job yesterday, and I have to go to Lujiawu today.
Lujiawu is a taboo word in Yangzhou, everyone talks about it, and people who want to find a guide can't find it. Cheng Linghui can only explore by herself. It is convenient to take the waterway, but no one supports Cheng Linghui, and she can only look at the river and sigh.
After breakfast, Cheng Linghui didn't plan to come back at noon, so she went out with dry food and water. After walking out of the city for a while, I suddenly heard a melodious flute. Following the prestige, Chu Qing leaned on a tall tree branch, blowing a green jade flute.
Cheng Linghui knew that he was waiting for him, so he stopped at the horse and asked, "I didn't go, why are you here again?" ”
Chu Qing stopped the sound of the flute, looked at Cheng Linghui and said, "I'm just curious, you are a woman who always drills into the woods, what do you want to do?" ”
Cheng Linghui thought to herself, what she did was not something unseemly, how could she say it from his mouth, so dirty? said: "I want to build a road to Lujiawu." ”
"Lu Jiawu?" Chu jumped down from the tree lightly, tiptoed a little, and fell to the ground. The dust is not surprised, which probably means that he looks like this: "Do you know what Lujiawu is?" ”
Cheng Linghui nodded: "Sleepy Dragon Land." ”
Chu said lightly: "I haven't heard of this. All I know is that Lujiawu is haunted. In the Yangzhou area, few people go there. What are you doing there to build a road for? ”
Cheng Linghui said: "I want to build a granary there." There is no way to do it. ”
Chu Qing was surprised: "You are really a bold woman." Lujiawu has been abandoned for more than 30 years, and there are so many rich businessmen and magnates in Yangzhou City, no one dares to fight the idea there. Even if you're not afraid of ghosts, don't you think it's bad there? It was the place where 600 lives were burned. ”
Cheng Linghui thought for a while: "This is probably a coincidence, destiny." ”
Chu shook his head lightly: "I really don't know what kind of person can stop a woman like you." ”
Thinking of Chang Jiwen, Cheng Linghui was full of sweetness. The tone couldn't help but become brisk, and he didn't feel so annoyed when he saw Chu Qingyi, and said, "You'll know when you see it." ”
Chu was stunned for a moment: "Is there really such a person?" ”
Cheng Linghui was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Chu said lightly: "If you have a chance, I really have to know that person." Let's go, you don't want to find the way, I'll accompany you. In Yangzhou City, except for me, I'm afraid you won't find anyone who can lead the way. ”
Cheng Linghui clenched his fists: "So, there is labor." ”
Chu lightly snapped his fingers and whistled, summoning his mount. The two hit the road one after the other.
With Chu Qingfang's local pass, it is much easier to find a path. Cheng Linghui sketched the topography of Lujiawu simply.
Chu Fengsheng has shares in Changji, and now she has entered the palace. Naturally, her shares were taken care of by her brother. Therefore, Chu Qingyan can't be said to be helping Cheng Linghui. Cheng Linghui didn't expect that going around and around would become a partner with Chu Qingfang. However, this is much better than being an enemy of Chu Qingyi.
Chu Qingmad is young and golden, so he is naturally capable. After surveying the path, it was arranged for people to start cutting down trees and repairing the road. is also fortunate to have him, otherwise Cheng Linghui would not even be able to hire a working man. As soon as they heard about Lujiawu, the common people were afraid of it, and no one went to give them any money.
Moreover, if Chu Qingfang came forward to do this, there was also a lot less discussion on the streets. He was notoriously uninhibited, and it was not surprising that he would do anything. At most, a few more opponents are waiting to see him laugh.
Chu Qingyan didn't care about any of this. After arranging the road construction, he took Cheng Linghui to walk around Yangzhou, and said that he was his sister-in-law.
Cheng Linghui also met the old man of the Chu family, the former scholar of Wenhua Pavilion. The old man has a good body and bones, and his spirit is shining. It's just a little old-fashioned. When he saw Chu Qingfang, he made a straight face. Chu Qingyan didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his old man.
But this old man is good to Cheng Linghui. One old and one young, drinking tea, talking, quite able to talk. Although the old man was relegated to Yangzhou, he had the world in his heart, which made Cheng Linghui very respectful. Although Cheng Linghui is a woman, she still has some knowledge. The old man also liked to hear her talk about the sufferings of the people.
Old man Chu has been a lifelong scholar, and he likes to write and play chess when he has nothing to do. Cheng Linghui didn't learn to read, she learned to write first. A good word does not lose to a man. The old man sighed: "I was born as a daughter." "That regretful look, I can't wait to bring Cheng Linghui back to the furnace to rebuild.
Cheng Linghui is no longer surprised by such an exclamation. When she was a child, she was also worried that she was not a boy, but since she married Chang Jiwen, that idea has faded unconsciously. Now I think it's not bad to be a woman.
A month later, the inspector finally arrived in Yangzhou. Cheng Linghui couldn't be happier to hear the news. Get up before dawn and get dressed.
Chang Jiwen's inspection of the imperial history is majestic. Everywhere I went, there was a sensation. Cheng Linghui was crowded in the middle of a large group of ordinary people, and her neck was stretched before she saw the honor guard of the imperial history. You said that a five-grade official made it bigger than the movement of the emperor's relatives and relatives going out of Beijing, and Su Tong was able to do such a thing.
Cheng Linghui was stretching her neck to look into the team, looking for Chang Jiwen's figure. Suddenly, two hands fell on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. Cheng Linghui looked back and saw that it was Zhang Qian. Anyway, I haven't seen him in a few days. Just as he was about to say hello, he suddenly felt the hand on the other shoulder squeeze him hard. Turning his head, he saw Chu Qingfang standing on the other side.
Chu Qingfang couldn't help but pull her out of the crowd, and Zhang Qian took Cheng Linghui's other hand without showing weakness. At this time, a gaze shot towards this side like an arrow. Cheng Linghui subconsciously looked over and saw Chang Jiwen's jade face sinking like the bottom of a black pot. She wanted to call 'Jiwen', but there were people on the street, and some couldn't scream.
Chu Qingfang had already dragged her out of the crowd. followed by Zhang Qian. Cheng Linghui broke away from their hands and hurriedly turned around to chase Chang Jiwen. Chu Qingyan and Zhang Qian almost simultaneously intervened to block it.
Cheng Linghui was anxious: "What are you doing here?" ”
Chu said lightly: "The old man is in the teahouse opposite, I saw you below, let me call you." ”
Zhang Qian said: "I heard that the inspection of the imperial history is coming, so I set a position in the Guanhai Pavilion. And when I saw you passing by, I came and called you to come with me. I heard that the prefect of Yangzhou was going to be there to pick up the wind and dust for the inspection of the imperial history. ”
After the two finished speaking, they looked at Cheng Linghui at the same time.
Cheng Linghui's heart had already flown away with Chang Jiwen. Hearing that Chang Jiwen was going to Guanhai Pavilion, he did not hesitate to say to Zhang Qian: "I will go with you." ”
Chu scolded lightly: "What I said to you, did you forget?" ”
Cheng Linghui said: "I just went to see the imperial history." ”
Chu Qingfang had already found out that she had been dressed up very carefully today, and said, "You are dressed like this just to see the imperial history of the patrol?" ”
Cheng Linghui nodded.
"Hush." Chu sneered lightly: "It's just a fifth-grade official, do you need to be so attentive?" Our old man has also been a second-class master. ”
Cheng Linghui hurriedly went to see Chang Jiwen and said, "How is that the same." Please tell the old man and thank him for his kindness. He turned around and walked towards the Sea Pavilion. Zhang Qian glanced at Chu lightly and meaningfully, and arched his hand: "Brother Chu, I'll go first?" "Turn around and chase Cheng Linghui.
In the Guanhai Pavilion, almost all the characters with heads and faces in Yangzhou have gathered. When Cheng Linghui arrived, he learned that Zhang Qian did not book a seat here, but had his share in the banquet for Chang Jiwen.
Although the Cao Gang is a gang in the rivers and lakes, there are two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, but whoever walks on the water, which one does not deal with him. Chang Jiwen, the inspector of the imperial history, is different from other officials. The patrol of the imperial history itself is a generation of heavenly patrol ribbons, and there are certain privileges. Chang Jiwen also has three bronze seals covered with jade seals. It was an extraordinary deterrent. To entertain such an official, the Cao Gang is indispensable.
