"Adult ......"

Lou Da cautiously followed behind him, not knowing what he wanted to do with Ji Chenhu, but he stood at the bow of the boat for a long time, looking at the vast and boundless sea, and the waves surging at the end of the sky, as if they were continuous mountains.

After a while, Lou Da laughed when he heard him, and saw him suddenly point to the two towering arrow towers that emerged from the waves in the distance, and said:

"Look, doesn't it look like an arrow tree outside our stockade?"

"Brother Yun, the Iron Arrow Tree outside our stockade is even higher than this—"

It was rare for Lou Da to hear him talk about the old things in the southwest mountains in the past, and he suddenly smiled.

"Brother Yun, since you found out what kind of family tree you have at home, and you have to leave the village and go outside to look for relatives, I thought you had forgotten everything we did when we were children——"

Lou Da chattered about his childhood past, Lou Yun smiled, and picked up a sentence or two from time to time, but his eyes stared calmly at the wide sea.

The wind blew the blue waves, dyed red by the setting sun, and flashed with a mottled purple-green color, just like the undulating dark green mountains in the southwest Yi Mountain, and he still remembered the broken family tree, which recorded the past of the Mingzhou eunuch Lou.

The Lou family, during the Jingkang Revolution a hundred years ago, fled to Jiangnan with the Zhao royal family and settled in Mingzhou, but before that, they were originally rough people north of the Yellow River and the northwest of the Yellow River, and the name of their ancestors was also Lou Da.

Thinking of this, he glanced sideways at Lou Da beside him, which made him confused for a while, and could only smirk.

The ancestor Lou Da, after settling down in Tuntian in the northwest, spread branches and leaves for four or five generations, because Fan Zhongyan Fan Wenzheng built a school in the northwest when he was on the border, so that one of the Knowles had the opportunity to let the children study, and then relied on the accumulation of several generations to enter the scientific field, and finally was able to ascend to the top in the imperial examination at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this way, the future Jiangnan scholarly family, Mingzhou Knowles.

More of the children of the Lou clan were all from the military, such as his ancestor of Lou Yun, who participated in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Army, who had gone south with the famous general Di Qing two hundred years ago to suppress the rebellion of the Southwest Tong tribe.

After General Di's victory, he divided his troops and garrisoned them, and his branch of the Lou clan stayed in the southwest mountains, married a naturalized Yi girl, and multiplied in the local area.

In the southwest mountains, the naturalization, rebellion, suppression, pacification, internal attachment, and relocation of the Han people and the Yi people are always in an endless cycle.

Only the ancestral surname, which has not been discarded.

And when he came to Louyun, because his parents died early and his fields were lost, before he was ten years old, he was just a small slave in the Tusi cottage on the southwest border.

Lou Da saw that he was silently staring at the sea of Tangfang fifty years away, and he could actually grasp his thoughts, so he couldn't help but persuade:

"Brother Yun, I don't want to go back to the village to be a slave, so do my brothers, what's the good of being able to wait for the leaders all my life? Even our descendants can only be slaves! I just want to rely on my own skills to make a future like Brother Yun, and when I become an official and have a group of wives and concubines, I will go back and let them see——"

Hearing this, Lou Yun couldn't help but smile, the depression on his face disappeared, and he turned his head and reprimanded:

"What nonsense? Loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, serving the official family, and seeking stability for the people, we naturally have a future, what wives and concubines do you have in mind? What kind of system? The stockade has its own rules of the stockade, and the toast and priest haven't been like this for hundreds or thousands of years? They may not be willing in their hearts, and we don't need to go back and bother them......"

"I'm not going back to teach them a lesson, I just want the seven sisters of the Zonazha family in the western village to know what I'm capable of! Brother Yun, you went to the east forest to find a good friend on the festival day, and she didn't stay with us, you don't know that she fell in love with the kid of the little head family, and refused to sing duets with our brothers, and refused to spend the night in the forest with our brothers to pay God, I just want them to know that now my Lou Zaji has more wives than their seven sisters, and they are still beautiful! ”

Zaji means "big" in the Yu language.

"Shut up!"

Lou Yun listened to him and still remembered the past in the southwest mountains, and missed the group-marriage custom of "staying overnight to reward the gods" between young men and women of the Yi tribe every spring and autumn, but his face was even heavier, and he only felt that hatred of iron was not steel.

"The son is silent, and the power is confused! Didn't you forget all those lewd-vulgar things in the stockade?! Tomorrow, remember to copy the Analects a hundred times and show it to me before the hour! ”

Lou Da suddenly shut up, afraid that if he talked more, not only would he be punished for copying books, but Lou Yun would even deprive him of the fun of visiting a brothel.

In his heart, everything outside the mountain is good, for example, Brother Yun, a slave, can rely on himself to study and take the imperial examination and become a big official, which is much better than the hereditary toasts and priests in the village from generation to generation.

But the people outside this mountain, there is just a little bit of a bad thing, they don't know how to fear the gods, they don't understand that men and women, brothers and sisters, go to the forest together to be happy and happy, so that the children born can be protected by the gods, so that they can be strong and live a long life?

It's so strange to have to care whose kind that child is, aren't they all brothers' children? Who raises it or not?

Lou Yun only looked at his eyes rolling, and knew what he was thinking in his heart, and he was too lazy to teach him the upbringing and etiquette system of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, it was that Ji Chenhu, who knew something about the weapons, armor and even the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, should have been teaching himself to read Hanshu, and it was a pity to leave him here in the island country and become a beast that does not know etiquette and righteousness.

"Go and tell Ji Chenhu, I'll give him three days, if he can take Tangfang in one fell swoop, let's mention the matter of Fusang."

As he spoke, he turned around, looked at Lou Da, and smiled,

"A husband should have great ambitions in the world, how can he be like a woman and a woman, only looking at the present?"

Lou Da couldn't move in front of the woman, thinking that there were groups of wives and concubines, but when he used means to deal with the enemy, he was able to understand it at all, and suddenly smiled:

"Yes, my lord, the villain is going to ask him, is it possible that he still wants to hide under his sister's skirt forever?"

In the lobby of Ji's Inn, Fangzhong Street, on the east side is the God of Wealth at the counter, the screen in the middle is empty, and the tables and chairs in the guest room on the west side are all made by the villagers who know how to carpenter in the workshop according to her oral drawings and the style in the Song paintings.

Two chairs and one table, neatly arranged, each high table is placed a pot of white porcelain pots of spring orchids transported from the Great Song Dynasty.

On the wall of the Sanwei Hall behind, there is also a long imitation painting of "Qingming Riverside Picture", which is a congratulatory gift from Wang Shiqiang when the workshop was opened, so Ji's Warehouse has won the favor of Song merchants with an all-Chinese style from the beginning.

"Big lady, the old man is ready for today's account checking—"

Mr. Li, the big tent room of Ji's Inn, is Ji Chenlong's adoptive father, and he is one of the very few people in the workshop who are already literate.

She didn't wait for him to finish, and said:

"What's in the store, you're in charge, I'll go back and rest for a while."

"Yes, eldest lady, the old man will take care of the ransom's goods as soon as he understands it, and then he will give the list to the eldest lady for a look."

Mr. Li wears a curved head on his head, his figure is extraordinarily tall, his long black beard is thick under his lips, and his face is full of red light.

Not to mention that he is rare in Tang Fang and is not a real scholar who came out of the Fang School, even if he is allowed to stand in Lou Yun's public hall cabin, mixed with a three-rank jinshi like Qin Congyun, as well as those subordinate officials from the city and the boys, he also has a somewhat capable appearance.

He was wearing a dark silk robe, with a string of jade hanging from his waist, and he was already fifty years old.

With Ji Erlang Chenlong as his adopted son, he is no one disrespectful in the workshop, and the three daughters raised by his knees as a father and a mother are even more Lan Xinhui, all of whom are filial to their fathers, of course he is comfortable and comfortable.

Fang Ding's trouble, he only regarded it as a child's anger.

Seeing that Ji Qingchen didn't look at the accounts, he raised his feet and was about to go all the way to the backyard, so he hurriedly caught up with him and said:

"Big lady, after Wang Xiaogang and Huang Dongzhu left the Ji family, they went out of the workshop to Dazaifu. From the old man's point of view, the Shikibe Cheng who escaped from Heian Capital should have entered the East China Sea from the Seto Inland Sea, and found an opportunity to get on the ship to meet the Song envoy, and he may also have the letter of the lord of Fuso with him, so Wang Xiaogang will go to Dazaifu to check it out. ”

"Where is the lord of Fuso? Isn't it just the so-called Kanbai Regent Heida Xiangguo? I heard that the rumor spread in the capital of Heian is that except for the people of the Ping clan, all of them are not human ......"

She smiled indifferently, and he said no more.

Although he also knew that the Ping clan in power in the capital of Fusang was already boiling with resentment in Fusang, and the Ping clan people in the world were boasting of "except for the Ping clan, the rest are not people", he also shook his head when he heard it, but after all, it had nothing to do with Tang Fang.

The people of Tangfang are not Fusang people.

Her vigilance against the merchants of Fusang in Xifang was clear to everyone in the workshop, so before he was sure of her thoughts, he didn't want to talk about the civil strife in Fusang indiscriminately, lest she mistake it for Erlang Ji Chenlong.

As for the reason why she came to Ji's Warehouse at this time, of course he understood.

First, she came to relieve the siege of the warehouse and scare Wang Baoer's little bastards away, and secondly, in order to wait for Sanlang's news, she went to the backyard, which also said that after giving Ji's warehouse to Erlang, the public account in the workshop would no longer be openly inquired by her.

Of course, he rejoiced for Jiro.

Although he is not a brother and sister, Ji Chenlong has been assisting this cousin wholeheartedly in the past ten years, repaying her kindness for upbringing, and making great contributions to the opening of the workshop, who said that the position of the owner of the workshop should not be inherited by him?

Only Mrs. Wang's foolish old ladies dare to mess around!

She's too greedy!

He squinted his eyes and watched Mrs. Wang lift her skirt and step into the door of the warehouse.

Bow and thank the old book friends Xiao Ju Deng and Tang Jing 1982 for their rewards!
