After all, drifting on the sea, although Xu Hai has been perfect, this house is ordinary, far from being comparable to Jiangnan, and even because the house is built on the peak, there are often strong winds, and the safety is difficult to guarantee.

Facing the coquettishness of a pair of sisters, Xu Hai, who was dressed in soft armor, smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, what the two ladies said is that they will move back and choose a good place to start a new house." ”

"Look at how smart Mr. Fang is, he found a recessed flat land on the mountainside, it doesn't matter how big the wind and waves are." Wang Lushu smiled and said: "You can still grow flowers when you have nothing to do." ”

"He's not planting flowers." Xu Hai sneered: "Do you remember the golden rod that was sent some time ago?" It tastes soft and glutinous. ”

"Mr. Fang used to be a scholar, and he studied and read heirlooms." Wang Cuiqiao, who was tidying up by the bookshelf, said casually: "The general will send troops in the next few days, remember to bring some bricklayers back, and ...... another."

"Remember, remember, bring back more calligraphy and paintings, you said it many times." Xu Hai nodded again and again, "Let Lao Tan do this, he is very slippery in battle, but he is a good hand at robbing money...... Didn't you say last night that you would meet him and teach him what is valuable, I already had people call him. ”

Xu Hai was born poor and did not have so many rules, and the Wang sisters have also appeared with him in public several times in recent years.

Wang Lushu coaxed on the side: "Sister, I'll go too, let him bring some lake pens and Huimo back!" ”

"Okay, okay, you all go." Xu Hai knows that among the two sisters, the elder sister is good at writing and the younger sister is good at painting.

The group chatted and went out, Wang Cuiqiao carefully hung the long knife on Xu Hai's waist, Wang Lushu sorted out Xu Hai's clothes, and someone on the side praised him: "The general is so blessed!" ”

Xu Hai scolded with a smile: "Don't follow me to the army this time? Maybe I can bring a few beautiful girls back! ”

Qian Hong spread his hands, "I don't have such a blessing as a general, so I just have a full meal and a hungry meal, and I am half full." ”

"Don't marry a mother-in-law and start a family, Mr. Fang has been talking a few times, saying that you are ambitious." Xu Hai pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and explained: "Guard your house during this time, don't go out to make trouble, although Wufeng should go down, maybe his subordinates will not be obedient." ”

"Obey the orders of the Great General." Qian Hong bent down and sent the group to the steps, only to straighten up and squint at the back of the woman who was swaying in the wind like a willow.

It wasn't until Xu Hai went down the mountain that the Wang sisters sat down in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and Qian Hong went back from another way.

The small house only has two entrances in front and back, the left and back are stone walls, the front is fenced with a fence, two men are picking hoes, there is a reclining chair at the door of the house, Qian Rui, who is over half a hundred years old, drank a few sips of water and lay down comfortably.

"Father." Qian Hong moved a small bench and sat on the edge of the rattan chair, and said softly: "Go down and take a look, if there is no strong wind, the troops should be sent tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Qian Rui is fifty-two this year, and he has not retired in the future at this age, but in this era, he is already born to die, plus he has been running at sea for the past few years, and his heart has been bitter, most of his hair is gray, and his face is wrinkled.

"Yuan'er sent two people, but they are both familiar with farming." Qian Rui smiled, "I remember that they mentioned it a few days ago, it turned out to be a tenant of the Qian family?" ”

"Well, my family is in Hangzhou now."

Qian Rui nodded, "Be very cautious, don't ask or say, Yuan'er is well trained." ”

"Father." Qian Hong was a little anxious, "Do you want to let them go out secretly......

"What's the hurry!" Qian Rui reprimanded: "It's not stable at all, otherwise I wouldn't have been captured in Huangyan County." ”

"Zhang San's ......"

"That's your brother's tutelage." Qian Rui sat up, took the teacup and took another sip, "There is a chance for them to go back and send the seeds from the vegetable garden." ”

"That ......"

"If you go out now, you're looking for death." Qian Rui snorted, "Xu Hai is cunning and suspicious, he has long suspected that someone is secretly communicating with Wang Zhi, and it is estimated that he will have a back hand, and you will send someone out...... I'm afraid that I will step into the pit. ”

Qian Hong's forehead was a little sweaty, he licked his lips and asked in a low voice, "You didn't suspect that you were on my father's side, right?" ”

"Not yet." The corners of Qian Rui's mouth hooked an arc, and he smiled: "The biggest doubt...... Naturally, it was Chen Dong and Ye Ma, who discussed with Xu Hai yesterday, and both of them stayed, which is why I said that Xu Hai is likely to have a back hand. ”

With a low laugh, Qian Rui lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there is really someone secretly communicating with Wang Zhi, it is really possible that it is Chen Dong or Ye Ma." ”

Seeing his son's anxious look, Qian Rui shook his fan lightly and said, "We can't go out, but your second uncle is out." ”

"But the second uncle doesn't know where Xu Hai chooses......"

"Yesterday I was discussing the war in the study, and Wang Cuiqiao said that he wanted to meet Tan Wei and teach him what things are worth grabbing." Qian Rui said softly: "That's why I refused to go out today, in case I bumped into ......."

Qian Hong hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "What is the relationship between the little brother and that Wang Cuiqiao?" ”

"You don't care so much." Qian Rui reprimanded, and he was also thinking in his heart, Wang Cuiqiao hadn't gone out since he was snatched back by Xu Hai, it could only be arranged by Yuan'er in advance...... For this reason, he also held all Wang Cuiqiao's family members in his hands.

For a famous prostitute who was abducted and trafficked at a young age and trained to be proficient in writing and ink, Wang Cuiqiao was unwilling to follow a pirate to wander away from the sea.

Wang Cuiqiao in history has a vague face, and can only find traces from wild history and romance, perhaps in the original time and space, Xu Hai let Wang Cuiqiao taste the taste of love, which made this woman die, after all, as a famous prostitute, a small family will not be hired as a wife.

But in this time and space, Wang Cuiqiao, who had a ghost in her heart in advance, was jealous of Xu Hai, and she was thinking about her family with her head and neck hanging from the knife.

In the pavilion halfway up the mountainside, Wang Lushu was talking eloquently about all kinds of lake pens, Hui inkstones, rice paper and other stationery utensils he wanted, and Tan Wei respectfully responded to them one by one.

"By the way, I still need some Confucian classics, you can memorize them." Wang Lushu said several books and five classics in a row, they have been in Qinhuai Hezhu City for a long time, and next door is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and they can discuss the eight shares with the exam-taking Xiucai.

Tan Wei knew that Xu Hai's two concubines in the backyard were pregnant, so he rolled his eyes and smiled: "There is a teaching from the eldest lady, and the little general will ...... in the future." It's hard to say the rest, but a student is stable. ”

Even at sea, scholars still have a special status, which is determined by China's thousands of miles of history.

Wang Cuiqiao's breathing suddenly disappeared, and she held her breath and looked at Wang Lushu, who she hadn't noticed, before she nodded with a reluctant smile.

Tan Wei's words are very pointed, according to the time calculation, Wang Cuiqiao knows that his nephew should go to the examination institute this year, and he will be a student after passing this level.

"All said and done?" Wang Cuiqiao got up and looked at his sister, and said softly: "Then please, Shaoxing Xu Wenchang's words, Huating Sun Yunzhi's paintings, of course, the best is the Tianlai Pavilion of the first Xiang family in Jiaxing." ”

Tan Wei responded repeatedly, bowed with a smile, and waited for the two sisters to go up the mountain with the maid, and then turned to leave.

The last sentence has a very clear point, because of Qian Yuan's relationship, most of the calligraphy and paintings sent by Tan Wei before were the handwriting of Qian Yuan's acquaintances, including two pairs of Xu Wei's characters and two pictures of Sun Kehong's flowers and birds, but they have nothing to do with the Xiang family's Tianlai Pavilion.

In other words, what Wang Cuiqiao wants to say should be Jiaxing Mansion.

Tan Wei walked back to his courtyard quickly, took out the fifteen books from the corner, and carefully flipped through them for a while before summoning his cronies.

"I can't leave now, Xu Hai should leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the fleet is slightly offset, you go for a trip, this is the number."

"If you don't leave early, I'm afraid it's too late." Zhou Ji hesitated: "And there may not be anyone on the island, so it's delayed...... I'm afraid that all the widows have gone ashore, and the news will not be delivered to the young master. ”

"Break out? It's impossible, Xu Hai has been hovering around on various islands for the past few days, and once he finds it, a ship will immediately catch up, and he can't run away. Tan Wei shook his head, "Then you can only resign yourself to fate." ”

Zhou Ji nodded, remembering the string of numbers. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
