Chapter 116: Merry Debt (1)
But it was the first time he had revealed it so bluntly. Su Yuming felt a little embarrassed, she didn't dare to look directly at his resolute eyes, her eyes drifted around, "Don't laugh at Gongzi Cao, you are the prince of the king, and after returning to Changxing, there are many famous ladies waiting for you to propose." Besides, the Houmen family...... Yu Ming...... Don't dare to covet it. ”
"Don't dare or don't want to? Scold...... Forget it, you have to go back to the Central Plains, don't you? Cao Yingze changed the topic self-deprecatingly, "Oh, I just don't know if Uncle Xiao, a gentleman, will stay in Binzhou and wait for me, isn't it greedy for the prosperity of Luo'an, I jumped into the river with my front foot, and he drove the painting boat away with his back foot, leaving me alone to go back by land." ”
Su Yuming couldn't help but be amused by him, "Don't worry, if Xiao Gongzi goes back on his own, we will buy a small boat and go up the river, and we will definitely not let Cao Gongzi suffer from the bumps in the carriage and horses." Speaking of which, it's still Yu Ming who has troubled you...... And if it weren't for Cao Gongzi who had been taking care of him after falling into the water, Yu Ming would have died in Beijiang. ”
"Don't, don't, I'm ashamed, I can't imagine that Yu Ming is a woman, and your water nature is so good, I have to be ashamed. But Yu Ming, with your net worth, you can buy a painting boat, you just want to buy a boat to send away half of my life-saving benefactor? ”
Su Yuming was slightly surprised, "Gongzi Cao, you ......"
"Even if I realized it later, I have been thinking about it carefully these days, and I was surprised to realize that Tai Xiangsheng, who is in the limelight, is afraid that it is inseparable from you, even so, you are afraid that your casual fulcrum of silver in Tai Xiangsheng is enough to be worth a year's worth of my Jingyang Hou Mansion."
Su Yuming didn't answer, just lowered his head and pondered, Cao Yingze is a smart person, and he can't hide this matter if he wants to, but he doesn't know how much he knows, so it's better to probe him. After making up her mind, Su Yuming raised her head and said, "It's not that Yu Ming intends to hide it, it's just that Yu Ming is a woman, and it is inconvenient to come forward to do business, so I cover it up a lot." ”
"I didn't know that you were Ye Cizhun's widow Su Yuming, forget it, after knowing it, you will know the clues, a widowed woman can live in a good place like Binyunju, and her background is not low, and you were still in Luo'an before, this will be Binzhou, you come to Binzhou, Binzhou will have this Taixiangsheng, and it is not difficult to think about it."
"Cao Gongzi is really a smart ......", Su Yuming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, he was a "widow" and a "widow", it seemed that he didn't know the news that Ye Cizhun was still alive, even so, it didn't matter if he knew a little bit of these details.
"Ahem, let's stop praising each other here, it's just the two of us on the left and right, no matter how good the blow is, no one will listen! Ha ha...... Drink this rice soup, and I'll go to the forest to see if I have caught some small beasts in the trap I laid yesterday, and if we do, we can open meat again!" Cao Yingze stuffed the rice soup that night into Su Yuming's hand, turned around and walked away.
Su Yuming knew that there was not much rice left, and Cao Yingze had always been taking care of her by herself, so no matter how hard-hearted she was, she was moved to tears when she looked at the bowl of rice soup now.
In the afternoon, Cao Yingze really came back with a wild yellow monkey in a hurry, and after cleaning up, he set up a fire and roasted it. Su Yuming sat opposite him, exuding a burst of feminine warmth against the backdrop of the firelight, which complemented her own tranquility, which was intoxicating. Cao Yingze was a little stunned, and forgot the wild yellow monkey in his hand......
"Master Cao, isn't it time to flip it over?"
Su Yuming's reminder Cao Yingze came to his senses, and hurriedly flipped over the stick in his hand, "Yes, yes, look at me...... Hehe......"
The scorching firelight directly baked Su Yuming's cheeks red, and realized that Cao Yingze's face blushed a little more after staring at him, and the two phases superimposed more and more that his face was hot, so he got up and walked away, and went to the head of the continent to blow the river breeze.
Today's sound of the river seems to be louder than in the past, and there is a muffled roar, which sounds like the flood season is coming, but the flood season is slowly rising, and there is no such sudden change.
"Cao Gongzi, come and listen, is this voice wrong?"
Cao Yingze heard Yu Ming shouting at him, so he hurriedly left the yellow man and walked over, and after listening carefully for a while, he was shocked, "Run back!" It's a flash flood! As he spoke, he pulled Su Yuming's legs and ran to the thatched hut, which was built on the commanding heights of the center of the continent, and the water could not reach it no matter how much it rose.
"Boom", sure enough, the two of them walked on the front foot, and a huge roar was heard on the back foot! The torrent carrying a large amount of mud came suddenly, and the fire just now was swallowed up by the torrent in an instant!
The roar of this landslide frightened Su Yuming, I don't know if this position is safe, my body is trembling, Cao Yingze saw that she was unstable on her feet, and mustered up the courage to hug her into her arms, Su Yuming couldn't think much at this time, she could only hold on to Cao Yingze's clothes, as if grasping a steady sense of security.
The torrent roared past, and there was a muffled roar outside the hut all night, and the two of them stayed awake all night.
Early the next morning, Cao Yingze pushed open the door of the house, and was taken aback, only to see that the thatched hut was surrounded by a piece of Zeguo, and the turbid and reddened mountain flood had spread all over the Jilongzhou, and this thatched hut had become the only land hanging alone in the torrent! Cao Yingze had to admire the wisdom of the fishermen, and after several generations of experience accumulation, he finally affirmed this absolutely safe commanding height, and set up camp here with peace of mind.
Su Yuming also walked out, looking at the turbid torrent without worrying, "It seems that we can only rely on a little food in the house to survive the flood season." ”
Unexpectedly, Cao Yingze laughed and said, "What are you waiting for the flood season!" Flash floods are better than flood season! This flash flood is menacing, not only washed away a lot of houses, but also washed away the fish and shrimp in the fish pond, so there are a lot of treasures in this turbid flood, look at it, soon there will be fishermen to pick up the goods! ”
As Cao Yingze said, but in just an hour or two, fishing boats gradually appeared around! Some of the people on the fishing boat hold iron forks more than a foot long to fork the wooden planks in the water, some hold fishing nets, nets and fish in the water and good things floating in the water, there are clay pots, jars, clothes and quilts, treasure chests, etc., which are very lively.
Su Yuming suddenly jumped up, pulled Cao Yingze and said, "Young Master Cao, you are really well-informed!" We can go back to Binzhou! As he spoke, he shouted for help to the fishing boat, "The boatman ...... There's someone over here! Come and save us! ”。
Cao Yingze looked at the cheering Su Yuming, but his mood was very complicated, and he muttered to himself, "Yes, we are going back to Binzhou......"
Ye Qinyu rushed to Binzhou as soon as Ye Cizhun and Wei Zhiyu's marriage ended, and has now been stationed by the Beijiang River for several days. Xuecheng and the others have been searching for more than a month, and everyone is afraid of missing any news from the river, so they are reluctant to leave the Beijiang, so they simply live on the painting boat, waiting for the news to adjust the plan at any time.
Du Juan firmly believes that her young lady is still alive, because Su Yuming has been running around with Master Su since she was a child, the water is not bad, and the waves on the sea can still be controlled, and the river channel in this area should not be difficult for her. Zhang Ji led Tai Xiangsheng to set up a search and rescue team with his familiarity with Beijiang, so that the relationship between Tai Xiangsheng and Ye Qinyu could not be hidden, she focused on the search and rescue of Su Yuming, while thinking about finding a convincing "master" for Tai Xiangxing and Tai Xiangsheng, after all, Xue Chunyue and Ye Cizhun could not be implicated, after all, these two people are now in the limelight, and the slightest wind and grass can be held by King Xi, and they are caught off guard.
The boat that Xiao Tingxiu bought is quite spacious, the boat is two floors high, there are three or five rooms on each floor, the Xiao family brothers and sisters live on the second floor, Ye Qinyu and others live on the first floor, Xiao Tingchu wanted to give the more comfortable second floor to Ye Qinyu, but Ye Qinyu insisted that it was more convenient to communicate with the search and rescue team by living on the first floor, so Xiao Chuxiu didn't say anything and let her go.
On this day, Xiao Tingchu was drinking tea in the cabin, and the maid Xining muttered while making tea for her, "It turns out that this is the legendary Miss Ye family who makes Lord Yin Xue of Luo'an Mansion unforgettable, and it is nothing to look at with the slave maid, where can I compare with Miss You." ”
"Where did these 'legends' come from, Xi Ning, you like to chew the root of your tongue more and more, beware that I will go back to your father and send you to the deserted grange forest to guard the village, and see who else you chew the root of your tongue."
"Miss is reluctant to send Xi Ning out, otherwise who will listen to Miss nag Lord Xue in the future, right? Hee-hee......"
Xiao Chuxiu blushed suddenly, and when she stood up, she was about to beat Xi Ning, and the master and servant made a mess.
Listening to the footsteps of chasing each other upstairs, Xinyan was a little angry, and said to himself while adding tea to Ye Qinyu, "When we are anxious, we don't say that we will send more people, and we are still laughing and scolding like this, and I don't know how to take care of others." ”
Ye Qinyu is carefully looking at the distribution map of the tributaries of the Beijiang Basin, which is densely packed with annotations made by Xuecheng, which ones have been searched and which ones have not been searched, Ye Qinyu checked one by one, and marked which ones need to be searched again, and when he heard the grumbling of Xinyan, he did not raise his head and said, "Be cautious in words and deeds, we are now living in someone else's place, don't point fingers at the master's family, besides, this matter is not related to the Xiao family, but they still sent a lot of people to assist, and they have been very gracious." ”
"Xinyan is just angry...... Besides, Na Xi Ning doesn't know if she was born with an enmity with us, and she looks like she doesn't answer us, where did we offend her? When I was in Luo'an, I heard Uncle Wen talk about the second master's close relationship with the Xiao family, and I don't know if the second master did something wrong to offend the Xiao family, but no matter what, it is a grudge between the second master and the Xiao family, and it shouldn't be counted on our heads. ”
Listening to Xinyan, the more he spoke, the more out of tune, Ye Qinyu had to put down what he was doing and turned to his heart and said, "You are not allowed to arrange the second master again, and carefully pass it to the ears of your young master." "Xue Chunyue is already annoyed enough about how to round the absurd matter of Xue Peiqi and Yi'an, but now there is such a daughter of the Duke of Chu suddenly, and I don't know how to end it. I don't know if he can collect these romantic debts owed by Xue Peiqi.
