Zhou Shaojin also found that someone was coming, and before the merchant woman came over, she had already pulled Jiying and said in a low voice: "Let's go back to the carriage!" I don't know who is coming? ”

Ji Ying didn't think so, but she is now Cheng Chi's maidservant, and since she came out with Mrs. Guo, she naturally has to respect her status and the people around her.

She smiled and nodded, and returned to Mrs. Guo's side with Zhou Shaojin.

The group walked towards the carriage where they had stopped at the embankment.

The carriage that came over stopped with a "whoosh", and a young man in his twenties jumped out of the carriage, and when he saw Zhou Shaojin and others, he was very surprised, and hurriedly turned around and talked to the people in the carriage in a low voice.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and an old man in Tsing Yi about sixty years old man got out of the carriage with the support of the young man, arched his hand towards Cheng Chi, and said, "I didn't expect to meet a son in such a remote place." The old man's surname is Song, a native of Changsha Mansion. I took my children and grandchildren out to play. It is fate to be able to meet when you go out, can you and I watch the tide here together? ”

Cheng Chi saw that the old Confucian was in good spirits, spoke elegantly, and looked like a baby, guessing that he was not a great Confucian or an elder of a family of poetry and books for generations, and saw that the young man was only in his early twenties, but he was polite and polite, and his gestures were natural and generous, and he affirmed his guess a few points.

"You're welcome, old gentleman." He smiled, "The beautiful scenery of a good day is appreciated by everyone." Feel free to do so, old gentleman! ”

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Song smiled and stroked the goatee under his forehead, and said to the young man: "Yijun, you invited your sister and nephew to come down!" This son must not be that pedantic person. ”

The man who was called Yijun smiled and jumped out of the carriage with several sturdy women, and a young woman who was serving a young woman with a footstool got out of the carriage, and carried a child about eight or nine years old into the carriage.

The boy got out of the carriage and ran out onto the beach.

The mother-in-law in the back exclaimed, "Goro, be careful" and chased after her.

The young man laughed.

But the young woman frowned, and said, "You will spoil him like this." ”

The young man laughed, "Sister is just too careful. Gorou has just been locked up for too long. When I was his age, I climbed up to the roof to catch swallows, and my father didn't say anything about me, so why was it that when I got to Goro, I would be spoiled? ”

"You always have a point." Hearing this, the young woman said helplessly, "I can't talk to you, so I won't tell you." Mother Huang, you go and chase Gorou back. In the last sentence, the young woman was a servant woman who commanded her side. It can also be seen that the relationship between the sister and brother is very good.

The young man touched his head and smiled, said a few words to Lao Ru, returned to the carriage and walked towards Cheng Chi with a gift box.

Cheng Chi didn't want to pay attention to it, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Mrs. Guo looking at him, thinking that if he walked away like this, his mother would definitely nag when he went back, so he simply nodded kindly at the man, and said, "My surname is Cheng, a person from Jinling, and I accompanied my mother and niece to watch the tide." ”

The young man hurriedly said, "My surname is Huang, and I came out with the elders of the family, my sister, and my nephew. This is the pastry of Wufangzhai, which disturbed your Yaxing, it is really a complaint, and please don't blame the old lady and young lady. As he spoke, he handed over the gift box.

Qin Ziping hurriedly came over to pick it up, turned around and took a bag of tea and handed it to Huang Yijun.

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "A few days ago, a friend brought over the rock tea from Fujian, please try it from the old gentleman and son." ”

Huang Yijun hurriedly thanked him.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang by the river.

The people on the embankment can't help but follow the prestige.

I saw a white wave roaring like a lightning speed, as if the river was flowing backwards and rushing down on the embankment, splashing several feet high, as if the water monster was about to swallow people with its big mouth, so that Zhou Shaojin, who was sitting in the carriage, screamed in panic and leaned back, as if he could avoid the huge waves.

"The tide is surging!" Cheng Chi's eyebrows didn't move, he watched the tide recede with his back hands, wetting the ground, and said lightly, "A few quarters of an hour earlier than I calculated." ”

Huang Yijun's face changed greatly, and he shouted "Oops" and hurriedly looked at the river beach.

The child was being held tightly in the arms of the woman who served her.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The child's face was pale, and when the tide receded, he reacted and cried "wow".

The old man surnamed Song walked over.

The boy immediately pounced, aggrievedly shouting "grandfather".

The old man surnamed Song smiled and said, "You usually don't listen to you, but now you know that it's amazing, right?" ”

The child nodded again and again, and the soybean-sized tears hung on the tender little face, which was very cute.

The young woman also walked over, and was about to say something, when another tide came rushing over.

The young woman and the old man protected the child and retreated again and again.

The splashing tide was even more fierce than just now, and it was blocked by the pond embankment, and it rumbled like an angry water beast and turned its head towards the hill next to it, and the water splashed like a dragon in the air.

Who still has the heart to think about the big deal with men and women at this time?

Zhou Shaojin exclaimed and opened the car curtain, grabbed Mrs. Guo's arm and said urgently: "Look at it, look at it!" ”

Old man Guo smiled and said, "I saw it, I saw it!" As he spoke, he held out his hand.

Mama Lu hurriedly helped Mrs. Guo get out of the car.

Zhou Shaojin and others also got out of the car.

Cheng Chi hurriedly said: "You guys stand back, be careful of being swept away by the tide." ”

Only then did the crowd believe that what he said was true.

The water of the lake came in one after another, roaring incessantly, washing and stirring between the pond embankment and the hills, making the air moist.

People suddenly became as small as ants.

The old man surnamed Song couldn't help but clapped his hands excitedly and said: "The sky is lined with clouds and thousands of thunders, and the earth rolls up the silver mountain and thousands of horses run." Great! Great! It is enough to see this magnificent scene in this life! That's enough! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh slightly.

In the middle of the night, the tide gradually lightened.

It's like a tired child who calms down for a while.

The pond embankment is wet.

The old Confucian surnamed Song was uncontrollable in his passion, and waved his hand to Huang Yijun and said, "Let's go, let's go to Xiaoshan Tide Tower." ”

Huang Yijun was embarrassed: "Sister ......"

The old man surnamed Song was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly in disappointment, and said, "Then let's go back to Hangzhou City!" ”

The young woman's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said, "Yijun, you accompany your father-in-law to Xiaoshan, and I will be escorted back to Hangzhou City by the servants." ”

The old man surnamed Song listened a little moved.

Huang Yijun hesitated.

The woman bit her lip, and suddenly saluted Mrs. Guo, and said, "Old lady, can you let me follow you." When my father-in-law and younger brother come back from Xiaoshan, they will come to pick me up. ”

Cheng Chi was silent.

Zhou Shaojin could feel his displeasure.

She couldn't help but look at Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo has smiled and said: "It is convenient for others and for yourself." The little lady doesn't have to be polite, if the old gentleman doesn't dislike it, you can follow us. She said, pointing in the direction of the Zong's courtyard, and said, "We live in the house of the richest man in Jiangnan, the old man's house." ”

Old Confucian Song was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "I think you might as well follow us to Xiaoshan to watch the tide, right?" It is said that the tide over there is a little different from here......"

Zhou Shaojin saw that Cheng Chi's eyes seemed to show a little gloom.

She whispered to Mrs. Guo: "There must be a lot of people over there, otherwise Mr. Song would not hesitate to take this lady over." Let's go back! Even if you go to Xiaoshan to watch the tide, it is just a glance at the tide tower from afar, where can it be compared to this, the waves seem to fly above our heads, if you don't come to the Qiantang River, not see it with your own eyes, I must think that what is written in those books is an exaggeration. ”

Zhou Shaojin's words made Mrs. Guo laugh.

She said, "Okay, just listen to you, let's go back to the other courtyard." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled sweetly, but the corner of his eye glanced towards Cheng Chi.

Cheng Chi still looked warm, but she inexplicably felt that his mood seemed to be much better.

Old Confucian Song and Huang Yijun were still not at ease in the end, so they personally sent the woman to the Zongjia Courtyard where they lived temporarily, and handed a post to Cheng Chi, saying, "My daughter-in-law will trouble you." Just find a room to house her. ”

Cheng Chi quietly took the big red gold-sprinkled name post that only the two Jinshi backgrounds can have, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The old Confucian surnamed Song turned out to be the name of Song Xu and Song Jingran, who were the scholars of the Hubu Academy, the scholars of Dongge University, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.

Cheng Chi smiled and asked people to take Zhang Chengjing's name card to the old Confucian surnamed Song.

The old man surnamed Song laughed and said, "It turned out to be Cheng Xiang's family." This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family anymore! ”

Cheng Chi smiled and exchanged a few words with the old Confucian surnamed Song, only then did he know that this old Confucian was Song Jingran's father Song Ming, Huang Yijun was Song Jingran's brother-in-law, the young woman was Song Jingran's successor Huang, and the child was Song Jingran's fifth son Song Sen.

With this relationship, Song Meng put his mind at ease and no longer had any scruples.

The two families greeted each other, Song Meng entrusted the Huang family to Cheng Chi, asked the coachman to untie the horse, gently stroked the horse's neck, except for the coachman, left the accompanying servants, and Huang Yijun rode the horse, and took Song Sen to Xiaoshan.

Cheng Chi's eyes flashed slightly.

It is said that Song Jingran was born in a businessman, so he is good at arithmetic.

Song's father, who was born in Lianghu but is good at riding horses, shows that the Song family is not an ordinary merchant who only knows about selling goods from the south to the north.

Over there, Mrs. Guo and the Huang family talked.

It turned out that Song's mother died more than ten years ago, and Song's father never continued the strings, living alone in his hometown in Changsha. In February this year, Song's father occasionally contracted a cold, and he was sick for more than a month. Song Jingran was very worried, and specially invited his wife and brother to accompany his wife and son to take Song's father to the capital to live in the future...... That's what we know today.

"This is fate!" Mrs. Guo paid attention to Song Jingran since she heard Cheng Chi mention Song Jingran, and when she actually met Mrs. Song Jingran at this time, she was naturally very enthusiastic, and said, "Madame just needs to wait here for Mr. Song and Huang Gongzi to come back." Although I live in the courtyard of the old man, I have brought my own people to serve, and my wife can only speak if she needs anything. ”
