There are not many pedestrians on the road......

Zhou Shaojin was heartbroken.

But Chinese New Year's Eve running out to play seems to be a little bit bad...... She couldn't help but hesitate.

Ji Hotaru saw her thoughts, pursed her lips and smiled, and kept encouraging her: "Go!" Here it goes! It's fun there. When I came from Cangzhou, I was on the shore of the Jiangdong Bridge. At that time, I was stopped by the big boats and boats coming and going on the Jiangdong Bridge. It's just that I was in a bad mood at that time, and I didn't bother to take a closer look. Later, I lived in the algae garden, and I couldn't figure out the way. I was finally able to come out this time, and the elders of your family are not at home, so we just happened to go over and have a look together...... I have heard that the food and drink of Jinling City are transported from the Jiangdong Bridge, and every spring and autumn when the goods are trafficked in the peak season, hundreds of boats compete for sails, and the scene is very spectacular. But at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to go out lightly, otherwise we will have to witness it. ”

Zhou Shaojin was still a little undecided.

It happened that Zhou Chujin came over to greet Ji Ying, and asked Ji Ying with a smile when he heard this: "Doesn't it matter if you run to Jiangdong Bridge like this?" ”

Ji Ying was a little relaxed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "What's so important about this-the fourth master wants to follow Old Mrs. Guo to listen to Yuxuan for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and keep the New Year." When I go back, I'm afraid that Yuxuan's side hasn't dispersed yet! ”

That's true.

Zhou Chujin thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay to go out, but you must rush back before Shen Chu (three o'clock in the afternoon)." ”

Zhou Shaojin was overjoyed and said in disbelief: "Sister, can I really go out?" ”

"Really." Zhou Chujin smiled, "However, if you can't come back on time, you won't be allowed to go out in the future." ”

Zhou Shaojin hugged her sister tightly.

Ji Hotaru also thanked him repeatedly, and said, "The eldest lady also went out for a walk with us, right?" ”

"I'm going to stay at home and prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Zhou Chujin said with a smile, "If it weren't for the rules on the other side of Jiuru Lane, I would have left you here for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" ”

The more people celebrate the New Year, the easier it is to get tired, and although the servant women who stay in Jiuru Lane for the New Year can get a considerable reward, they also have to stay in the house for twelve hours a day, and they are not allowed to go anywhere.

Ji Hotaru smiled and said, "One day I'll invite the eldest lady to eat roast pork neck!" ”

Zhou Chujin never ate these, but thanked her for her kindness, smiled and thanked her, and instructed Ma Fushan's family to arrange a sedan chair and a maid and a maid who accompanied the car to send Zhou Shaojin and Jiying to Jiangdong Bridge.

Ji Ying smiled: "Miss, you don't have to be so troublesome, I brought a carriage over." ”

Zhou Chujin was stunned.

People in Jinling City mostly use sedan chairs, and those who use horse-drawn carriages are very rare. Not to mention anything else, the horses themselves are controlled by the imperial court, and due to water and soil problems, they are very difficult to feed, and it is more expensive than raising a few palanquins.

Ji Ying smiled: "It's Chengfu's carriage." ”

Zhou Chujin was still a little uneasy, and said to Ma Fushan's family: "This is the New Year, and you have to trouble them to go to Jiangdong Bridge, you go and send some hot soup to the people who serve in the car, say hello, and reward a few dollars." ”

Ma Fushan's family left in response.

These are all etiquette, Ji Ying didn't take it to heart, but Zhou Shaojin knew that her sister was not at ease Ji Ying, and asked Ma Fushan's family to determine whether the carriage and the coachman were from the Cheng family.

After a while, Ma Fushan's family turned back with a smile, and gave Zhou Chujin a "reassured" look, and said: "It's a celebration, Uncle Xu's happy brother." I thought that his brother was served by Uncle Xu closely, so I rewarded him with a few taels of silver. ”

Zhou Chujin's heart fell to the ground and sent Zhou Shaojin and Ji Ying out.

The shops on the street have long been closed, and there is no one to be seen on the street, and occasionally I see a grocery store, and it is all a round boss or a shrewd and capable proprietress who stays alone in the shop, taking care of one or two orders. The once bustling downtown suddenly felt depressed.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but tighten the gray squirrel skin cloak on his body, and said, "Is there still a boat to see when you go to Jiangdong Bridge at this time?" ”

"Actually, I don't know." Ji Hotaru said honestly, "I mainly want to go out for a walk, stay in the Hanbi Mountain House all day and look at the green leaves, I can see that I am going to grow moss." ”

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help laughing.

Ji Hotaru sighed and said, "You don't know, Mrs. Yuan went to the capital after eating the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that she would not return until the birthday of Old Lady Jiu in early September, and as soon as I thought of staying in the Hanbi Mountain House for nine months, I felt that I had gone to half my life." I told your Uncle Chi yesterday that he would send me to the algae garden to sweep the floor, and your Uncle Chi said that he would talk about it then. She said, looking at Zhou Shaojin with a smile, "If I go to the algae garden, I will definitely invite you to come over as a guest." ”

"Is the view from the algae garden good?" Zhou Shaojin said curiously.

"At least it's better than the Hanbi Mountain House." Ji Hotaru said with a smile, "I have planted a lot of flowers and trees, and I feel like I am undefeated in all seasons......

The two of them talked, and soon arrived near the Koto Bridge.

The carriage stopped, and Huanqing said through the curtain: "Second cousin, Miss Jiying, the carriage can't go here, you wait a while, I'll hire a sedan chair." ”

Ji Yingqi said: "Why can't you go over?" Didn't Qin Ziping say that it was easy to go? ”

"Isn't this the New Year?" Huan Qing smiled, "There are a lot of porters and mules living near the Jiangdong Bridge, and I don't think I feel that I do it outside on weekdays, but at this time, I am resting at home, and the carts and baskets over there are all tied to the door, blocking the ......road."

"Can you call a sedan chair at this time?" Ji Hotaru said, "Do you want to go another way?" ”

"If you change the way, I'm afraid that after sending Miss Second Cousin back to the house, Jiuru Lane will drop the key," Huan Qing said with a smile, "This place lives a lot as coolies, so if you ask, you should be able to find it." In case we can't find it, it's not too late for us to go the other way. ”

Actually, it's a sue sù set fireflies, it's best to walk from this road, otherwise don't blame me for going back late.

Ji Hotaru originally came out to relax, but now he got angry. She couldn't help but whisper: "No wonder the people in the house say that although these celebrations and joys are siblings, they are like two people, happy and lazy, happy and sophisticated...... He can't even do this little thing! ”

Zhou Shaojin comforted her: "We don't have anything to do, just wait patiently." Big deal, we'll come back next time. ”

"That's all there is to it!" Set fireflies wilting and wilting on the chin.

After waiting for a while, I didn't come back from the happy bed.

She couldn't sit still and said, "Shall we meet at the station outside the car?" The air outside is better. ”

Zhou Shaojin was dressed very warmly and got out of the carriage with Ji Ying.

The place where they parked was an alley, with a lot of stuff piled up on both sides, and even a child's rocking cart, but the doors of every house were closed, and the smell of burning brine came out.

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a tall mast and a wide river.

"Where is that?" Zhou Shaojin asked a little excitedly, "Is it Jiangdong Bridge?" ”

"That's it." Ji Ying looked at it on tiptoe, and said, "It seems that Huanqing is on a small road, such a distance, let's walk over, wait for him to hire a sedan chair, I don't know when it will be?" ”

Zhou Shaojin saw that the alley was just a shot, and there was a stout mother-in-law and two little maids beside them, so he nodded in agreement.

Ji Ying took Zhou Shaojin with him, paying attention to the pit under his feet, and said, "It's a pity that I don't know where Tongyuan is?" I heard that the first emperor was sympathetic to the people and planted tens of millions of Zongtong lacquer trees in Jiangshan......"

"Look!" Zhou Shaojin, who was following her, suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said, "That person doesn't look like Uncle Chi?" ”

Ji Hotaru took the opportunity to look over.

Not far away, two men stood on the bow of a three-masted galleon. One of them was tall and jade, wearing a dark mink fur, and his hand wearing jasper plate fingers was leisurely on the side of the boat, and the winter sun shone warmly on his body, as if shining on a jade bottle, as smooth as jade, graceful and noble.

Ji Ying was startled, and said in a lost voice: "It's really Cheng Zichuan!" Why is he here at this time? Didn't he say that he was going to play chess with Mrs. Guo in the afternoon? ”

Zhou Shaojin poked his head over: "Is it really Uncle Chi?" ”

"It's really Cheng Zichuan." Ji Ying glanced at it again, then her expression tightened, and she dragged Zhou Shaojin back and said, "It's too cold, let's wait in the carriage to celebrate." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and said, "Are you afraid of being discovered by Uncle Chi?" As he spoke, he glanced back at the bow of the ship.

Standing beside Cheng Chi was a man about thirty years old. He is burly, wearing a lamb's wool jacket, inside is a brown cotton robe, his figure is straight and standing opposite Cheng Chi, like two broom-like thick black eyebrows, there are a pair of deep and indifferent eyes like a dry well and a cold pool, faintly revealing the domineering spirit of looking at the world, and the elegance of Cheng Chi is in stark contrast.

She couldn't help but mutter, "Strange! The man looked like a porter doing rough work, but his momentum was very strong, and he didn't look like a rough man, but like a ...... It's a bandit who calls for a ......."

Ji Hotaru gasped.

She suddenly wanted to tell Zhou Shaojin's words to Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi's expression will definitely be wonderful......

※

Because of a chance encounter with Cheng Chi, their trip to Jiangdong Bridge ended hastily.

Zhou Shaojin went back and told Zhou Chujin to listen.

Zhou Chujin covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "You are only allowed to run out to play secretly, but Uncle Chi is not allowed to secretly run out to meet friends!" You and the cocoon are a master and a servant, he and his friend are one and the other, what's so strange? ”

Zhou Shaojin grinned, sacrificed his ancestors with his sister, and had a reunion dinner.

The firecrackers outside were "crackling", making the small flower hall for two people even more quiet.

Zhou Shaojin didn't feel cold.

She served her sister a bowl of pork yin rice soup, and asked her sister with a smile: "What did you say when you just offered incense to your ancestors?" ”

Zhou Chujin ignored her, took a sip of soup and said, "If you say it, it won't work!" ”

Zhou Shaojin just laughed.

In a previous life, she heard it.

My sister said that she asked her ancestors to bless the Li family to have a son, support the court, glorify the ancestors, and be a celebrity in history.

This time, my sister was doomed to disappointment.

But at least their little sister will survive and grow up safely.

Sisters, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, today's plus is a little late, and suddenly there is a situation where I can't control it. The evening update was only postponed until about eleven o'clock...... Sweat......
