Chapter 15: First Meeting
Zheng Hao's entourage pointed to the big boat behind the Situ family's boat and said, "Childe is right! Today's five phases, there is indeed no Xie family, but the Zhang family occupies the position of two deputy ministers. Since the death of the lord and wife of the Xie family, the Xie family has not been as good as the next generation. The two brothers of the Xie family were not successful, and the old lady of the Xie family once gave birth to five sons, only three of whom grew up and died two of them. Uncle Xie and Second Master Xie both took the path of military generals, and they married girls from military generals' families, and they did not follow the literature. And the fifth master of the Xie family is only eighteen years old this year, and he is more than ten years behind his two elder brothers, and he was raised by his brother and sister-in-law since he was a child, so he can't see that it is good. β
Zheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief, walked in the direction of the fragrance with his hands behind his back, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, if it's the Xie family, then it's not a matter of worrying, it's probably just a pass." - Okay, ignore them, let's go eat! β
He rushed to Situ Ying's cabin, knocked on the door and said, "Hide and eat good things, and don't call me!" β
β¦β¦
After that, the Qingjiang River had a smooth journey, and the Situ family's building boat had some more slender men, and they went all the way to the port of the capital.
Situ Yingsleeve left the cabin with his younger brother, stood at the bow of the boat and looked, and saw that there was a high embankment on the horizontal line not far away, and the ships came and went near the pier, which was very lively.
In the open space near the shore, the carriages and small sedan chairs crowded the naan, and the little maids and maids in the clothes of servants shuttled back and forth, each demarcating a place, and at first glance they came to pick up people.
There is an octagonal pavilion in the higher place, and it seems that there are high-ranking officials waiting there, and I don't know who is waiting for them.
Because from such a distance, you can see the dark armor of those guards, and the bright light reflected by the sword soldiers, shining in the sunlight.
Situ Yingsleeve squinted his eyes and looked at the dock not far away, secretly recalling the situation when he entered Beijing in his previous life.
She only remembered that she was wrapped in a big cloak, with her stepmother on one side and her sister on the other, and the two of them supported her, who could barely walk, and got off the boat slowly, sat in a sedan chair on the shore, and carried it all the way back to Situ Mansion in the capital.
"Sleeves, pack your things, I'll be off the boat soon." Situ Jianren came over and ordered, and said with concern to Situ Darkincense, who was standing beside Situ Yingsleeve: "Darkincense, the river is windy here, don't catch a cold." β
Situ Darkincense hurriedly responded, and said to Situ Yingsleeve: "Sister, let's go in first." Xiao Lei had better not blow the wind. β
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, took Situ Chenlei's hand and turned around, just in time to see a big ship coming from behind their building boat, heading quickly ahead.
On the mast of the ship was a flag with the word "Xie" written on it, and a family emblem icon underneath, a black cheetah with sleek lines.
As soon as Situ Yingsleeve saw this family emblem, he knew that it was the Xie family in the five major families of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, "Shen, Wang, Xie, Lu, and Zhang".
Because the Eastern Yuan Kingdom has a family emblem, in addition to the Yuan royal family, there are only these three marquis and five phases.
Other families can only be regarded as the second echelon, and they cannot be compared with them.
Zheng Hao walked to Situ Yingsleeve's side, glanced at the big ship, and said to Situ Yingsleeve: "Go back quickly, go back quickly, wait for someone to pick us up, we will leave first." β
Situ Yingsleeve nodded with a smile, thinking that the octagonal pavilion on the high shore he saw just now should have come to pick up Zheng Hao. - The second prince of Nan Zhengguo, even if he is a proton, he is also a member of the royal family, not comparable to ordinary people.
Situ Yingsleeve saluted him, "Feng Gongzi take care." When we meet again in the future, Yingsleeve personally remediates the banquet and picks up the wind for Feng Gongzi! β
"Huh! Do you still cook? You made the cordyceps chicken soup that day, right?! Zheng Hao was surprised and delighted, and immediately thought of the bowl of fragrant cordyceps chicken soup.
He thought it was the chef of the Situ family!
Situ Yingsleeve couldn't help but smile and said, "Feng Gongzi's ability to draw inferences is too powerful. "I didn't admit it, but I didn't deny it either.
Zheng Hao laughed, stopped studying with her, and turned to leave.
The shore looked close, but in fact it walked, but it was far away.
In addition, they have come to the waters of the capital, and the number of ships coming and going has increased several times, and their building ships have gradually slowed down.
"Stop! What are you doing! β
"Ge Laozi! Good dogs don't get in the way, don't get out of the way! β
"Lao Tzu is pulling the boat of the Situ family in Jiangnan, where did you run out of the basket!?"
"Jiangnan Situ? - Cut, I've never heard of it! Lao Tzu is pulling the big boat of the Xie family! Xie family, have you heard of it?! Look at you hillbillies, it's the first time you've entered Beijing, right?! β
The slender man pulling the boat on the shore broke out into a violent quarrel, and even the boat was stopped.
"What's going on?" Situ Yingsleeve pushed open the window and looked towards the shore.
"Miss, this is the slender man of our ship and the slender man of other ships quarreling over the road......" Cai Qin's eyesight was good, stared at the situation on the shore for a long time, and said to Situ Yingsleeve, "Oh, it's the boat over there." β
Situ Yingsleeve saw the flag with the word "Xie" and the cheetah clan emblem floating, frowned, and ordered, "Let them live in peace." Our family is just an imperial merchant in Jiangnan, and when we arrive in the capital, we can't see it, how can we compete with the Xie family? Let our people make way for others. β
"Yes, Miss." Cai Qin hurriedly responded and went out to order.
As a result, it didn't take long for Cai Qin to run back and say in a bit of panic: "...... Eldest Miss, that Feng Gongzi sent someone off the boat and beat up the head of the Xie family. They made way for us......"
Situ Yingsleeve heard this, and his heart suddenly became angry.
Zheng Hao, isn't this giving them nothing to do to pull hatred!
He is the prince of Nan Zhengguo, and he will leave after patting his ass, and the Xie family will credit this account to them!
Their Situ family is just a businessman, they pay special attention to harmony and wealth, the people do not fight with the officials, and the rich do not fight with the officials, which is engraved in the bones, where do they dare to really compete with the officials? !
Situ Yingsleeve turned around and handed Xiao Lei into the hands of Dark Xiang, "You help me watch Xiao Lei, I'll come when I go." So saying, he took up his skirt and hurried out of the cabin, and came to the bow of the ship, where he found that their ship had docked.
Cai Qin and Cai Sang also hurriedly followed.
Zheng Hao and his party had actually gotten off the boat.
It seems that it can't be trained...... Situ Ying sighed and was about to turn back, but Zheng Hao had already seen her, beckoned to her, and asked her to get off the boat.
Situ Yingsleeve saw that Zheng Hao had changed into a luxurious thin coat, put on the purple and gold crown of the prince of Southern Zheng State, and stood on the shore with his hands in his hands, his expression was solemn, and he was no longer the lazy appearance of a hippie smile.
Seeing him like this, Situ Ying's reproach had to swallow it, so he had to nod and jump from their building boat to the barge, from where he could walk to the gangplank to the shore.
At this moment, a servant-looking man came over and said to Situ Yingsleeve: "This girl, please let go, our fifth son is going to get off the boat." β
Situ Yingsleeve glanced back at him, "Fifth son, what fifth son?" β
"Xie Wugongzi." The servant's voice took on a haughty tone, and there was no longer any hint of humility.
"Xie ......" Situ Yingsleeve suddenly thought of the big ship with the Xie family's flag and family emblem just now, and thought that his family had beaten up the slender man of the other family just now.
Although Zheng Hao sent someone to do it, Zheng Hao was in the name of the Situ family, so the Xie family must have counted this account on their Situ family.
"Ah, it turned out to be Fifth Prince Xie! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly smiled, hurriedly stepped aside, and made a way.
Cai Qin and Cai Sang followed and stood beside her, protecting her.
The servant on the other side pursed his lips and stepped aside.
Situ Yingsleeve stood on the edge of the barge near the gangplank, her head bowed, her eyes flashing, and she saw the corner of a royal blue robe gently slicing across the upper of her shoes, and moving forward.
She quietly looked up, only to see a tall back, casually draped in a royal blue cloak, walking calmly down the gangplank.
This is the fifth son of Xie?
Cut, the Xie family is broken, and it is still such a big shelf......
Situ Ying sneered, followed him onto the gangplank, got off the barge, came to Zheng Hao and his party, and said with a smile: "Feng Gongzi, this is about to get off the boat?" β
Zheng Hao glanced at her and snorted: "Still pretending to be stupid? β
Situ Yingsleeve pursed her lips tightly, pretending not to understand his words.
"Discipline you know, I am not Feng Gongzi, my surname is Zheng Minghao, but the second prince of Southern Zhengguo. Today...... Come to Dongyuan Kingdom as a guest, and when you are free in the future, you go to the Nanzheng Pavilion in the capital to find me. βSince you call me 'brother,' I can't help but take care of you. Zheng Hao spoke, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the footsteps of Xie Wugongzi, who had just walked past them, paused, and then stepped forward again.
Although I couldn't see the man's expression, just looking at the man's back, there was a sense of disdain and contempt coming to my face.
"Phew! The broken house is also pretending to be a big-tailed wolf! Zheng Hao was stunned by the momentum and scolded in a low voice.
Situ Yingsleeve felt like a confidant when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Feng ...... Zheng Gongzi, you are really outspoken! β
"Haha, that's nature!" Zheng Hao laughed, his beautiful smile shining like a lightning bolt piercing the sky and illuminating the riverbank.
Situ Yingsleeve heard a burst of gasping sounds around him.
Countless hot eyes shot from all directions and landed on Zheng Hao.
Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly took a step back, separating himself from Zheng Hao from a distance, so as not to be injured by mistake......
Zheng Hao still wanted to explain a few words to Situ Yingsleeve, but his entourage had already hugged him and turned his head, and said, "Second prince, there are people from the Ministry of Ceremonies of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, who are here to greet the second prince, let's go over." β
Situ Yingsleeve saw those people walking down from the octagonal pavilion on the high place and welcomed Zheng Hao away.
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and waved at Zheng Hao's back.
"Yingsleeve, isn't that Feng Gongzi? How could those guards come to pick him up? Situ Jianren also got off the boat and stood beside Situ Yingsleeve.
Situ Yingsleeve said in a low voice: "Dad, that Feng Gongzi is actually the second prince of Nanzheng Kingdom, and he came to our Dongyuan Kingdom to be a proton." β
Situ Jianren was taken aback, "It's actually the second prince of Nan Zhengguo......" He quickly calculated in his heart.
Situ Yingsleeve turned around and saw Situ Chenlei getting off the boat safely under the support of Situ Darkincense and Zhang's family, and ran towards her with a smile, she also opened her arms and hugged Situ Chenlei.
ββ¦β¦ Is it Uncle Szeto? A warm male voice sounded beside Situ Yingsleeve.
She turned around and saw a handsome man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, standing in front of her father with a smile on his face, and asked him.
This person is her fiancΓ©, Murong Changqing, the son of the Marquis of Changxing.
