Chapter 6: The Boat Lady

"Our sleeves can't swim in the water, what do you say is good in water? What nonsense are you talking about, boat lady? Situ Ying's father, Situ Jianren, was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and glanced at the boat lady.

The girls of the big families in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom are all kept in the inner courtyard of the deep house, where can anyone swim?

Besides, the word "water-based" has another meaning, saying that the girl's family is water-based, that is the meaning of water-based poplars, is it quite good?

Situ Yingsleeve remembered that she didn't know how to swim, but she went to the capital in her previous life, that is, half a year later, and learned to swim with the mysterious master who came uninvited......

In a hurry, Situ Yingsleeve knew that she couldn't let this topic continue, and if she delved into why she suddenly knew how to swim, this question would be too difficult to answer. ――Then we have to divert attention with a more difficult topic......

Situ Ying's sleeves flashed lightly, glanced at the boat lady, and said indifferently: "My brother and I fell into the water just now, where did you go?" If you hadn't seen us on the water, you wouldn't have jumped off the boat, would you? ”

This is also a question that Situ Yingsleeve has been pondering.

Whether it was in this life or in the previous life, this boat lady did not immediately jump into the river to save their sister and brother.

And just now the Zhao Niang fell into the river, and the boat lady didn't need to be said, she jumped down immediately.

The difference is also too stark.

The boat lady didn't expect Situ Yingsleeve to talk about what happened just now, and hurriedly said: "I didn't know where the eldest lady and the eldest young master fell just now, so I didn't go into the water immediately." Then when I saw the eldest lady and the eldest young master floating up, I would immediately jump down to save you! ”

"Oh? You don't even know where we fell from? - Don't you know, and no one on this ship knows? Didn't anyone sue you? Situ Yingsleeve's gaze glanced over the faces of everyone in front of him.

The eyes like cold stars swept over everyone's faces, and everyone's hearts were full of joy. ――The eldest lady fell into the water once, and the momentum of the whole person changed......

Is the woman in front of you who can make everyone's legs weak just by looking at her is still the twelve-year-old lady who is gentle and kind and smiles at everyone?

Situ Jianren put his hands behind his back, frowned and glanced at the boat lady, and asked, "Yes, what happened just now?" When he turned around, he asked Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei's maids: "Picking celery, picking mulberry, little peach, little apricot, didn't you see where the eldest lady and the eldest young master fell from?" ”

The four maids hurriedly knelt down.

Cai Qin lowered her head and said, "The slaves and maids didn't see it with their own eyes, but they should have fallen from the fishing place." At that time, the eldest lady and the eldest young master were fishing by the boat, and later said that it was a little cold, and asked the slaves and maids to get the cloaks. The slave maid and Xiao Tao went to get the cloak, and Cai Sang and Xiao Xing were in the lady's room at that time to receive the eldest lady and the eldest young master's share of this month. ”

Situ Yingsleeve nodded secretly in her heart.

That's true.

She remembered that at this time in her last life, she was fishing with her younger brother on the side of the boat, because her father's birthday was tomorrow, and he loved to eat river fresh food the most.

They sat by the boat for a while, but the river breeze was too cold, so they asked the two maids to go to the cabin to get their cloaks.

Cai Sang and Xiao Xing did go to their stepmother Zhang's room to receive this month's share, and they haven't come back yet.

It didn't take long for her to feel a sudden jolt on the side of the boat, like a storm on the river, and the rod in front of her was sinking, and a big fish should have taken the bait.

She was overjoyed, and got up to pull the line, but the other end of the line was so heavy that she dragged herself into the river, and her brother fell with him......

Situ Yingsleeve closed his eyes.

The two sisters and brothers were obviously fishing on the front of the building boat, and when they fell, they were also on the front of the building boat.

By the time she sobered up, she had already reached the back of the building boat for some reason?

In the last life, she was pushed onto the water by her younger brother, and there was a big wave in the river, and she floated with the waves, and soon drifted to the front of the boat, only to be seen by the people who called her around, and the boat lady went into the water to catch her up.

And her brother's body surfaced the next day......

In this life, without the wind and waves of the previous life, she also learned to swim, so she was able to swim to the front of the boat with her younger brother and be seen.

Speaking of which, no matter in the past life or in this life, the boat lady who should have gone into the water to save people did not take the initiative to jump into the water to find them.

"We fell while fishing, won't you see it, boat lady?" After Situ Yingsleeve finished speaking, he remembered something again, "What about our fishing rods?" I remember catching a big fish. ”

"Fishing rod...... It's gone. Cai Qin glanced at Situ Yingsleeve, "When the slave maid and Xiao Tao came over with the cloak, they saw that the eldest lady and the eldest young master were gone, and the fishing rod was also gone, so the slaves and maids shouted......

Situ Yingsleeve looked at Cai Qin's eyes tightly, as if she wanted to see clues in her gaze.

But Cai Qin's eyes were black and white, and she had always been very calm, and she was a little puzzled by Situ Ying's long-standing gaze, and her eyes showed confusion.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with her.

Situ Yingsleeve smiled at Cai Qin, looked away, and looked at the boat lady again, "The master fell into the water, you actually had to wait for the master to surface before jumping down to save it." -- Do all of you who beg for a living on the ship do this? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Slaves...... The slave maid didn't know where the eldest lady and the eldest young master had fallen......" The boat lady was seen in a cold sweat by Situ Ying's eyes, her legs were weak, and she knelt down.

"Hehe, where else can you fall but in the river? Can you still fall to the shore? ――You think that the little girl is playing with her children, and you can see clearly where those children have fallen, right? Situ Ying's sleeves grabbed the boat lady and didn't let go.

In the previous life, if this boat lady had gone into the water to search for their brother and sister earlier, maybe her brother would not have died at all......

And in this life, this boat lady is still the same as me, and she did not actively rescue.

If she hadn't saved her younger brother by using the swimming she learned in her previous life, the tragedy of her previous life would have been repeated!

So what's the point of her living again!

Situ Yingsleeve felt a wave of anger gradually gathering in her chest, sank her face, and looked at her father Situ Jianren: "Dad, this boat girl can't be used, sell it." ”

The building that their family specially bought was in Beijing, because they were worried that when they were on the water, there would be bad people on the boat who would seek money and kill them.

It's not that they haven't heard of these black things on the river.

For example, a certain person who had just become a county official took his newlywed wife to take a boat to work, but he was murdered on the boat, and his wife was forcibly occupied by the boat boss, and even the identity of the county official was taken away.

The wife endured humiliation for 18 years, and finally succeeded in denounce it in one fell swoop when the emperor was touring Jiangnan.

The fake county magistrate was beheaded, and the woman who avenged her husband later committed suicide.

The emperor sighed with emotion, and deliberately presented her as a martyr, and gave the memorial arch to the woman's hometown.

Although women may seem weak, they are more tenacious and tenacious than many men.

The lesson that Situ Yingsleeve's family learned from this incident was that if the family was able to afford and needed to take a boat for a long time, they should buy their own boat and enter Beijing.

In this way, the captain, the ship's lady and the helmsman on the ship are all subordinates of the Situ family who have signed a death contract, and they know the roots, so it will be safer.
