Chapter 30: Meet Again
85_85797In the blink of an eye, the snow melted and the willow branches budded.
Almost as soon as the weather warmed up, Ji Ji received the news that the Zhou brothers had left Jing County.
After sending off the Zhou brothers, Ji Ji and Zhou Yu did not have a marriage contract, and it also spread all over Jingzhou unconsciously. Then overnight, the people of Jifu found themselves in a difficult situation. Not to mention Ji Ji, the maidservants in the house will be deliberately embarrassed if they go to the street to buy a few taels of salt.
And this is only the beginning, one night, Ji Ji suddenly found that there were many strange footprints inside and outside the walls of her manor......
Ji Ji remembered the big clans in Jingzhou City who were offended by her, although Xie Lang let go of the words, but people have never gone to tea and cool, Xie Lang has been away from Jingzhou for so long, those people made some small moves in private, where can they find out?
Then, Ji Ji thought of the floods that would be starving all over Jingzhou for the next two consecutive years, and finally made a decision to move to Jiankang as soon as possible.
Originally, everyone thought that as soon as the sky was clear, they would go to deal with the fields in Qingshui County and the shops in Qushui County. Who knows, Ji Ji thought about it, but vetoed it. In Ji Ji's opinion, there are thousands of miles from Jingxian to Jiankang, and there are so many robbers in this era, it is really inappropriate to bring all the belongings with him.
Ji Ji finally decided that all the existing industries would not be moved, and Zhuangzi would also keep them, and she would only take Uncle Li and Sun Fu and other subordinates, and Yuehong and other handmaidens to Jiankang.
At this time, Ji Ji didn't know that her safe idea came from her family's genetics. The story of her family's more than 20 hidden treasure plots comes from this.
Before leaving, Ji told the tenant farmers that there might be a natural disaster in Jingzhou in the next two years, and she asked the tenant farmers to keep all the grain they had harvested for their own use. and repeatedly instructed them not to take outsiders into the manor, no matter what the situation they were in.
It was the spring of April, it was a good weather for travel, Ji Ji and the servants sacrificed to the Taoist god together, and after choosing the auspicious day of the zodiac, they went on the road.
In the evening of the same day, Ji Ji came to Jingzhou.
Ji Ji and his entourage stayed in Jingzhou for ten days. In the past ten days, Ji Ji replaced the jewelry obtained from Luo Datou, those fragile and difficult to keep corals and other things, as well as some jade or strange wood, and the statues of gods that were only respected and welcomed by the locals of Xiangchu, with good horses.
Jingzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and by the time of the Three Kingdoms, it had become an important city among the military cities. Correspondingly, the armaments and materials here are also more and better than those of Jiankang, such as horses. The price of horses of the same grade in Jingzhou is less than three-quarters of that of Jiankang.
Ji Ji used up half a cart of jewelry, and after getting eight good horses, she specially invited a stableman to teach her the skills of dressing a good horse as an inferior horse. The horseman's craftsmanship was very good, and after three or two clicks, Ji Ji's new good horses became old and ugly bad horses.
Tools like horses are most divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the price between each class is a world of difference. For example, the price of an ordinary inferior horse is not much more than that of a donkey, while a high-quality horse is worth thousands of gold or even ten thousand gold. Ji Ji turned a good horse into a bad horse, although it could not completely prevent thieves, at least it could reduce the birth of others.
After spending a day coming to Chibi, Ji Ji and others got on one of the largest passenger boats.
Such passenger ships are gorgeously shaped and loaded with a lot, and many times, the gold salts of the Yangtze River basin will be carried by them.
After placing the donkeys and horses on the lower floor, Ji Ji and the others, like the other guests, lived in the cabin on the upper floor.
The upper cabin is large, with about two hundred guests. As soon as Ji Ji walked into the cabin, she heard a sound of piano and chirping, and she turned her head to see that she was facing more than a dozen high-crowned and majestic warriors.
Seeing Ji Ji looking at those scholars, Uncle Li leaned close to her and whispered, "Girl, I have inquired, those dozen people are from the big clan of Shu. ”
Ji Ji nodded.
Just as she turned to enter the cabin, the delicate and crisp voice of a noble girl dressed as a sister-in-law came, "My brother said that whoever can point out the mistakes in his piano sound will be compensated with a thousand gold......"
The woman's voice was still ringing out loud behind, and Ji Ji had already led everyone back to her cabin.
By the time Ji and the others were settled, it was already evening.
The sunset on the bank of the Yangtze River has a stunning beauty, Ji Ji changed into a men's robe, wore a gauze hat, and came to the bow of the boat.
Like her, standing on the bow of the boat and watching the sunset over the long river, there are many guests who are lonely and smoked, and in the noise, there are still people who are interested in making loud contributions.
The person who made the endowment was a tall and good-looking Shudi scholar, his face was covered with powder, and his clothes were hunting and flying in the evening breeze.
Just when Ji Ji glanced away, the noble girl dressed as a sister-in-law shouted delicately and crisply again: "With such a beautiful scenery, how can you be endowed without song?" If anyone can close a flute for my brother, so that we are satisfied, I will pay for it......"
The corners of Ji Ji's lips twitched, and on one side, Yuehong's low-pitched snickering voice came, "Girl, if you are willing to show your hand, you have already earned two thousand gold." ”
Ji Ji couldn't help laughing.
On one side, Uncle Li was also laughing, and he asked puzzledly, "Girl, what are these people doing?" ”
Ji Ji laughed softly: "These people are building momentum, well, that is, they want to create a celebrity." ”
Yuehong's muttering voice came, "It's really not ashamed to promote yourself like this." She said to Ji Ji, "Girl, let's stay away from them." ”
Ji Ji shook her head, "Quite the opposite! Since these people love their names, it means that they still have a heart of shame. There are enough wicked people who have no limit, and it is our blessing to be able to meet companions who still have shame. She turned to Sun Fu on the side and ordered, "You send someone to inquire to see if they are going to Jiankang, if so, we will go with them all the way." ”
"Yes."
After a while, Sun Fu came back, and he said with a happy face: "Girl, you expected it, they really went to Jiankang." I just said what I wanted, and they agreed. ”
"Great!" Ji Ji smiled, she looked at the group of Shu people who were not weak, and her heart was relieved.
In such a sunset, in the blink of an eye, Ji Ji and his party have spent a month in the boat.
In this month, because of the storage of this group of Shu guests, the boat is constantly singing and dancing, and the music is endless, which also feasts Ji Ji's ears.
On this day, the ship entered the boundary of Yangzhou.
Ji Dao and others live in Jing County all the year round, how have they ever been out of Jingzhou City? Along the way, they stayed by the hatch window almost day and night, watching the Yangtze River sunset, watching the green mountains on both sides of the river galloping by, and now they saw the legendary Yangzhou, and they were overjoyed for a while.
Ji Ji was dressed in men's clothes and walked to the bow of the boat again.
Together with the others, she looked ahead with her head held high as the sun was setting. Although they still saw green mountains and fields, and they didn't even see the shadow of Yangzhou, everyone was still excited.
Just when Ji Ji was looking at the mountain peak in front of her, suddenly, from behind a mountain peak in front, a flat boat floated in!
This man who operates the boat is obviously a master, and a leaf boat is as fast and free as an arrow in his hand.
The boat came quickly, and in a blink of an eye it floated to the side of the passenger ship, and far away, the young man wearing a hat on the boat crossed his hands, and only heard him say aloud: "The captain of the boat is here?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The chubby boat boss came jogging over with a few boatmen.
On the boat, the young man said politely: "That's right, my lord has just set up an ambush in the waters in front of him to rob and kill the water bandits. I also asked my husband to take the boat in this nearby bay. He looked up at the sun and said, "At most three quarters in the morning, you can go." On the passenger ship, a Shudi clan sneered loudly, "If you let us stop, we will stop?" It's ridiculous! ”
Unexpectedly, almost as soon as the voice of this scholar fell, more than a dozen voices sounded on the passenger ship at the same time, "Guests must not talk nonsense!" The captain of the ship hurriedly said: "The guest has misunderstood, this little man is well-intentioned." Speaking of this, the boss of the boat turned his head, he looked at the young man on the boat with a smile, and praised loudly while saluting with his hands crossed: "As early as in Jingzhou, the villain heard that there was a big man from Jiankang, who swept away countless robbers along the way, so that the common people such as me had a chance to breathe. I am fortunate to meet today, it is really a blessing for the little old man to live three lives! ”
The voice of the captain of the boat fell, and suddenly, there was a rapid drum beat in the water ahead!
"Knock-knock!" The powerful sound of the drums seemed to break through the evening calm and make the whole water boil.
Just when the drum was just rising, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing accompanied by the sound of the wind, Ji Ji and everyone together, raised their toes in unison, and looked up.
Ji Ji's eyes were extremely sharp, and she could see at a glance that on the water area of several hundred meters, a light boat carrying a Xuanyi Langjun galloped by!
Even though the light boat floated fast, Ji Ji still recognized it at a glance, the Lang Jun who stood at the stern of the boat with a tall posture and a mask on his face, but still had a suffocating brilliance!
That's Xie Lang!
I really didn't expect that when I came here, I could still see him
