Chapter 6 The old love has been broken
"Qing Niang!"
Wang Shiqiang didn't wait for her to turn around, he stopped categorically, saw her footsteps pause, and looked at her calmly.
"There are some things I want to ask you......"
He was about to signal to Huang Qilang to let the boatmen and servants around him withdraw from the courtyard, so that he could say some old things to her in private, and explain clearly the various unspeakable reasons for the destruction of the marriage three years ago.
"If Wang Gangshou still has business to discuss, go and ask Ji's Warehouse to find Mr. Li, and now I don't care."
She just glanced at him, no longer coping, turned her head to lift her skirt, and walked straight out of the small courtyard door.
“……”
As a last resort, he had to follow and steadily followed her out of the courtyard.
She didn't stop, and outside the courtyard was a two-person wide stone-paved old street, and her green tent ox cart was parked at the entrance of the street, but it was only a dozen steps long to go downhill, and at the end of the slope you could see the water of the Chikumae River flowing through.
Because this area also belongs to the remnants of Yazhu Mountain, the terrain is the highest in the workshop, the road side is short and pine, the sea breeze blows the dark green pine waves, walking in the street, you can see the endless blue sea when you raise your eyes.
Twenty miles away on the boundless surface of the East China Sea, a little bit of snow-white gull shadows, from the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo, Okinawa and other places Maihai sailing from the sea, in the blue and white skyline from time to time into the eyes of the Tangfang port.
From here, the huge fleet of ships a hundred miles overseas is not yet visible.
"Is Wang Gangshou going to go with me to greet Chen Wenchang and Chen Gongzi outside the East Water Gate?"
She finally frowned, stopped in the middle of the street, and looked at Wang Shiqiang, who was following her unhurriedly.
Although the old neighbors here have all moved to the new streets on both sides of the Tangfang River below, she is the only one living alone in the old house, and the neighboring residents on the left and right are all her cronies, and now it is also the time for them to work in the workshop, but Wang Shiqiang is chasing her so closely, after all, it is a little ugly.
He wasn't originally a pestering person.
"Qing Niang doesn't have to go anymore."
How could he be willing to lose face, his footsteps stopped, his eyes retracted from the sea to look at her, he put one hand on his waist, and sighed, "When I got off the ship, the fleet was about to stop, and it would not advance to fifty miles above the sea of Tangfang at most, so you don't have to meet it." ”
When she heard this, she was not surprised, but smiled and said:
"Listen to Wang Gangshou's meaning, the order to stop the ship and not enter should not have been given by you, could it be that the ninety-eight Jiangsu-Zhejiang sea ships and five Fujian ships outside don't take Wang Gangshou's words seriously now?"
"Why ask knowingly? What is Tang Fang still unclear about this sea matter? The official of the Shibu in the capital of Fuso and Ping'an had already taken a boat out of the lower pass and entered the East China Sea, and when I left, he had already boarded the Song ship to greet the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Although he was unwilling, he still had to calmly narrate and tell the reason why their huge fleet sailed into the East China Sea, "You also have a branch in Mingzhou City, half a year ago, the official family has decided to send an envoy to Goryeo to deliver the letter of state to the king of Goryeo, of course you will not be unaware." ”
Of course she knew that she knew such a big thing, since she heard many years ago that the current emperor's surname in Middle-earth was Zhao, and the capital was in Lin'an, and it had been passed down for more than a hundred years, she knew that she had come to the Southern Song Dynasty.
What is disturbing is that although she can memorize the memorabilia of the junior high school history textbook clearly, the record of the Southern Song Dynasty in the history textbook is too simple.
She just knew that after Mongolia went south, the Southern Song Dynasty perished, and the last little emperor was carried by loyal ministers and jumped into the sea to die.
I don't know anything else.
"Shikibe?"
She couldn't help frowning a little, "How could it be Shibu Cheng from Heian Capital to greet her?" ”
As the lord of the Tang Fang, of course, I have also heard of the official position of Shikibe Cheng in Heian Castle, he is a royal official in charge of state guest etiquette, usually Goryeo, Okinawa, and even the East China Sea Jurchen on the coast of Liaodong When an envoy arrives at the port of Fuso, although it is received by Dazaifu on Kyushu Island, the letter of state is passed to Heian Beijing, and it is Shikibu Cheng who is responsible for handling this kind of affairs.
However, without the appearance of Dazaifu, Yukibu Cheng went directly to the East China Sea to meet the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, which is still the exception among the exceptions.
"It turns out that Wang Gangshou's fleet went to sea with the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and I thought that after the envoy's ship left Goryeo, it had already turned back to Lin'an City-"
"Isn't the envoy's ship the five Fujian ships of the Chen family in Quanzhou?"
He didn't go around in circles anymore, if it weren't for the fact that Lou Yun, the envoy personally ordered by the official family this time, was the promotion supervisor of the Quanzhou City Shipping Division, how could Chen Hong, the head of the Fujian Maritime Business Program, sail the ship to the East China Sea?
You must know that since the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty sent envoys to visit Goryeo in the 35th year, and wanted to unite Goryeo to attack Liao and Jin, and the envoys all went to sea from Mingzhou Port, and the ships requisitioned and transferred were all ships of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and maritime merchants.
Seven or eight of them are on the merchant ship of his Siming Wang's family, and now the dignity of this envoy was actually snatched away by Fujian!
"I just don't know, is it the Chen family father and son that Qingniang is going to greet today, or the envoy?"
He was calm, his unpredictable gaze narrowly distinguishing her expression.
However, she has always had a gentle smile that has not changed, as if she has not continuously provided Huang Qilang with gold and sea pearls in the past three years, and Huang Qilang has connections in Lin'an City to contact the court, and like him, she wants to push the official family to send envoys to the East China Sea.
Although she knew that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty did not come to Fuso, she also wanted to ask the envoy to pass by the sea of Fusang on the way back after visiting Goryeo.
Whether she went to the ship to meet her, or invited the envoy to come to the land of Tangfang, of course, it would be beneficial to Tangfang.
"Since Wang Gangshou also knows that it is the envoy who is a hundred miles away from the fang, even if there is a Fusang official who goes to the sea to greet him, so the envoy ordered the ship to stop and not enter, but can I still be lazy?"
She raised her hand and pointed to the sea on the edge of the sky, where the sails of the fleet could not be seen, and the bright red sun had begun to set westward.
"A hundred miles of sea outside Tangfang is the fishing ground of my people, and I have also received a message from the fisherwoman in the fang, isn't it common sense to be cautious to greet it? As for whether I greet the Chen family or the envoy—"
She also looked at Wang Shiqiang with interest, although he was known as a city government, she was too familiar with him, and she could see that he was not only secretly angry with the Chen family in Quanzhou, but also with this envoy, she smiled,
"No matter which one of them is my honored guest of Tangfang, not to mention that the envoy is an official in Quanzhou City, he naturally has some friendship with Chen Gangshou, of course, I can't help but write a letter to Chen Gangshou, asking him to persuade the envoy to come to my Tangfang, although I don't know whether it will be successful or not, I will not go to greet it is also to show loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty?"
In this life, she was introduced to him by Huang Qilang at the age of fourteen, fell in love at the age of sixteen, heard the news that he got married in the Great Song Dynasty at the age of seventeen, and now she is over twenty years old, three years have passed since the past, and she finally waited for the time to wait for a long time.
"Qingniang, it seems that what you are really waiting for today is not Chen Wenchang, and you are not even showing loyalty to this envoy, right?"
Wang Shiqiang endured his anger, remembering that she not only said goodbye to the Chen family, but the blind date portrait she exchanged with Chen Wenchang actually fell into Lou Yun's hands, and then thought that this time he hurriedly got off the boat, but because the little guy Zuo Ping got the opportunity by chance, he spied on Lou Yun in recent days and had been hanging her portrait on the head of the bed in the cabin, and he really couldn't bear it.
"I also know about the construction of ships in your Tangfang, Dazaifu does not allow foreigners to build ships, you have always had the intention of inviting the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to Fusang to negotiate for Tangfang, I also asked my uncle Wang Lao to protect the Mingzhou Tongju Qin as the envoy in front of the official family, and I was going to pass by Tangfang when I came back from Goryeo, and I did my best for you, but Lou Yun broke the matter and robbed the envoy halfway——"
At this, his tone deepened.
He knew that she was now openly inviting Fujian maritime merchants to enter the East China Sea, and all the words were just to leave a good impression on this Master Lou who was born in Quanzhou City.
Moreover, her purpose was not only to build a ship, but also to drive him Wang Shiqiang out of Tangfang.
