Chapter 5 The East Wind Comes to Come
Ruri is still sick in the end.
No matter how strong the heart is, it can't stand the normal physiological reaction. Anyone who falls into the ice water covered in hot sweat will not be safe and sound.
The purpose of autumn frost was achieved, and the joy was indescribable. But she was worried on the surface, and deliberately came to visit twice in a row, and she was not afraid of being sick. Moreover, although Shengsheng did not have a good face for their master and servant, and Qingdai was also bedridden, she acted as if she didn't see it, and her face was really not ordinarily thick.
When she saw Liuli's red face, the person who was usually so angry was so unhappy to speak, and then saw that Shui Shiqiao couldn't sleep in a hurry for a few days and nights, her eyes were bloodshot, although Qiu Shuanghua was jealous and hateful, she was really relieved.
Shui Liuli fell, with an excuse to attract someone back to Beijing, and there was no obstacle in the way, many things were easy to do.
Liuli's illness was stuffy in the house for ten days. During this period, Qiu Shuanghua went out twice because of the "Mercy Society", and there seemed to be nothing abnormal, and she did not have contact with strangers. But then, far away in Dongjin Mansion, there were maritime merchants who began to talk about the news that the future princess of Jin, the living phoenix of the Cao Gang, and Miss Shui was seriously ill.
"Seeing that the monsoon is rising, the ships moored on the dock can make a lot of money in the blink of an eye." Someone said enviously, "It's a pity that the official licenses for going to sea every year are limited, and if you go to sea by private boat, it is a capital crime for the whole family to be caught." We don't have a background, we don't have connections, and we don't have a lot of money, so we really can't squeeze in. ”
"yes, yes, I can only watch others make a lot of money." The other sighed with a sigh.
"If you want me to say, we're good. At least I can squat on the edge of the table, and I can pick up some scraps to eat. "This person is contented and happy, not ambitious, and old-fashioned.
"Haven't you heard? The future princess of Jin, the eldest lady of the Shui family, fell ill and seemed to be quite serious. Already bedridden and staying at home. A tall, thin man suddenly interjected.
He was not good-looking, had a long horse face, was dressed in ordinary clothes, and had a light diet on the table. It looks like a shabby small businessman. Only people with good eyesight can see that he has a straight waist and an official temperament that no one can despise. He sat alone at a table, not facing the window, but next to the merchants.
At this point, he spoke. The others shifted their gaze to him with some contempt.
"What is this brother talking about?" The man frowned and said, "Shipping is a state affair, a major event, and only the women in the house pay attention to which young lady is sick, which daughter-in-law has a child, and other trivial matters, right?" ”
"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." The horse's face was not annoyed, but took the wine glass and his two side dishes, brought them to the table, and said, "Little brother, I am from Tokyo." I know some inside stories. ”
The man who sighed just now was angry on the spot, and wanted to get angry, and wanted to drive the horse away immediately. This kind of behavior is like kicking your nose in the face. No one invited him over. Isn't it too self-cooked? It looks like he's taking the opportunity to come over to eat and drink.
However, the old man among the three hurriedly stopped the firefighter and asked Ma Face. "Miss Shui, you say? But the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness, who is in charge of the capital water supervisor? He noticed the key words: Metropolitan Water Supervisor, Fiancée, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and Insider.
"Exactly." Ma Yan unceremoniously took a mouthful of sauce elbow and put it in his mouth, chewing it very fragrantly and said, "Little brother heard that you also want to do shipping business." But there was no official photo, so I couldn't help but say more. ”
"It's better to meet by chance, since there is a fate to eat at the same table, brother Tai might as well say it clearly." The old man poured a glass of wine for Ma Yan and said tentatively, "Who doesn't want to meddle in such a fat deal?" To tell the truth, we have a source of goods, and we can get it by sea ships, that's it...... It really doesn't matter. If Brother Tai is willing to point out a clear path, everyone will naturally get rich together. "Words, beautifully spoken, with bait.
The horseface drank the wine from the cup, and no one saw the contempt and calculation in his eyes before he lowered his gaze.
"In fact, the little brother doesn't have a relationship that he can't get along, otherwise how could he be like this? However, the younger brother does have a clear way. If it's right, it's done, and you can just pull the little brother. The horse's face bluntly stated his purpose.
People, as long as they put on the appearance of greed, others will be reassured. Sure enough, although the three merchants were skeptical, they exchanged glances with each other and nodded secretly.
"You're going to be straight." The man was impatient.
Ma Yan didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, pointed at the old adult, lowered his voice and said, "Didn't this brother Tai say it?" His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the heaven of the capital water supervisor! The official photo of going to sea is in his hand. The thing he raised his hand was our livelihood. And who is Miss Shui, there is no need to repeat it, right? People all over Tokyo know that although Miss Shui has not yet passed the door, she has won the favor and love of His Royal Highness King Jin. In other words, as long as you can sell well with His Royal Highness King Jin, will next year's official photo still be missing? ”
"You!" The other sneered, "It's lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious, who doesn't understand?" But His Royal Highness the King of Jin is very difficult to stammer, although he is a prince, he is not greedy for money, nor is he lustful, everything goes according to the rules, and when issuing official licenses, he must decide according to the quality of what qualifications, and he must not be opportunistic. I tried bribery with a flexible eye before, but the result was not only not good, but also ended up with a never-ending license. His Royal Highness the King of Jin clearly said that shipping is related to the fortune of the Great Zhao Dynasty, he is the son of the Emperor of the Great Zhao, and others can profit from it, but he cannot, because to harm the national fortune is to harm himself. How so? Our Ninth Highness can be regarded as a ...... It's a ......," he couldn't hold back, and muttered in a low voice, "It's okay to not get in the oil and salt." I don't know what to say about others, anyway, I don't have a trick. ”
"Don't you know that Qianyan has a 'rest of everything'?" The horse-faced man said mysteriously, "That Emperor Yan loves his young son the most, no matter how unpleasant and unwilling he encounters, as long as he sees this lovely son, he will smile and nod his head in agreement." His subordinates figured out his temper, and when they encountered something that could not be solved, they tried to start with the youngest son of Emperor Yan and ensure the smooth success. Therefore, the ministers of Qianyan called the young son 'everything is off'. ”
"You mean...... Miss Babmy Water? The old adult's eyes lit up, and he asked without saying anything.
Several people looked at each other, and instantly felt that this matter was reliable! Everyone is a man, and there are some lovely people around him, so they naturally know which woman a man loves, especially when it is hot. That's really anything to do for her.
"Don't make it so obvious, our Royal Highness King Jin doesn't rub sand in his eyes." Ma Yan said, "But Miss Shui is sick, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Everyone should pay attention to it at the right time, after all, ten points in the world, nine points are in Cao, and the connections of the Cao Gang are easier to borrow than those of the prince. As long as His Royal Highness the King of Jin knows that everyone has a heart, needless to say, next year's qualifications will definitely be strong. Even if you line up when you issue an official photo, you will be in front. ”
"Justified, justified!" The more the three merchants listened, the more feasible they felt. Unconsciously became excited, and immediately studied how to make this thing beautiful, and could not bury the meat in the rice, so that His Royal Highness the King of Jin would know it. They were too excited to pay attention to the smugness in the horse-faced man's expression.
On November 15 of another year, Huo Honglian's sacrifice day arrived.
Two days ago, Ruri's illness was finally cured, although the whole person didn't seem to have fully recovered, and he was still shaking when he walked. The complexion was very bad, his face was as white as transparent, and he had two dark circles under his eyes, but he was out of the house after all.
Still in mourning. She shouldn't have been involved in outside affairs, but as the righteous daughter of Ning Anhou, Wen Ningzhi held a big ceremony every year, and she had to help no matter what. It's just that she's in poor health. I couldn't do anything else, so I took the initiative to invite Ying to the temple outside the city to help the Guan Guan troupe sing Huo Honglian's heroic deeds.
Wen Ningzhi "loves" the righteous daughter. At first, he refused to agree, but Liuli said that the Shui family had accidents recently, and he was afraid that there would be a disaster, so it was better to go to the temple to eat vegetarian, and then go to Baiyun Temple to do a magic service. With the blessing of Buddhism and Taoism, there will always be good luck. Wen Ningyi pondered, this kind of thing that shows the filial piety of the father and daughter, and the benevolence and courtesy of the righteous relatives is very good for the reputation, so he agreed. Of course, it is inevitable that I will go to the temple to take care of it, and that kind of care is not much better than my father.
So Ruri left the city on the afternoon of the fourteenth day to make some preparations in advance. Shui Shi Qiao didn't worry about her, but she had something to do, so she had to send Ling Hongdie and Tang Chun and his wife to wait. However, Liuli said that after all, it was a sacrifice and should not be too ostentatious, so although she was accompanied by the three big girls who had always been powerful, Yiqiu, Lime and Weiwei, and countless Cao Gang people, she was still very low-key and left the Water General's Mansion almost quietly.
Qiu Shuanghua personally and diligently sent it to the gate of the city, and when he returned home, he sat in the carriage, and the smile on his face and eyes could hardly be suppressed.
"Look, Miss is happy." Shi'er couldn't help but tease.
"Time, luck." Qiu Shuanghua did not hide his complacency, "When everything is ready, there will naturally be an east wind to make up." ”
"The slave doesn't understand the learned words of the young lady." Shi'er patted her ass, waved her hand and said, "The slave only knows the way, and when someone is sleepy, someone hands a pillow and wants to eat ice, and there is hail in the sky, which is really a good thing." ”
"You know." Qiu Shuanghua snorted, but there was no reproach.
"Originally, Miss wanted to secretly leave the house, and she had to bother to arrange it. That is, it cannot be trapped, nor can it be discovered. But now that Shui Liuli is out of the city, the eagle-like Ling Hongdie follows. Although the water gang leader is here, he is in the other courtyard, and his eyes can't be fixed on the side of Jumingtang, isn't it much more convenient for us to act? The slave maid thought, this is a sign from heaven, indicating that the young lady's great event will be accomplished! ”
"Before the last moment, didn't you say that some of these things were done?" Qiu Shuanghua tried to cool his expression, "People have to have a long memory." This time, you can't make a mistake in eagerness to say anything. As he spoke, doubts surged up in his heart for some reason.
To be honest, everything went too smoothly and too coincidentally, which always made her feel unsteady. However, she is confident that no one can crack her arrangement. So, what else is she afraid of?

……… 66 Have something to say............
In fact, the allusion to Wanshi Xiu comes from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the story of Wang Gao Congzhi and his son Gao Baomian in Jingnan literature, and the history after the Tang Dynasty. Although this book is set in the Tang Dynasty, it is an empty book after all, so it uses a small story from the Later Dynasty and puts it on Qianyan's body. It's good for everyone to look happy, and you don't have to dig into it.
