Zhejiang and eastern Guangdong can be very close to each other - if the sea route is smooth sailing; It can also be very far away – if you trek by road.

The grand occasion of Yuyao Xie's family's recruitment of 'son-in-law' was spread in the local area, but the news was filtered through space and faded by layers of thousands of miles, and the impact on the eastern part of Guangdong was negligible, and basically no one would know about it if there was no special reason.

At this time, the trade route between Nanyang and China had reached the busy season, Xu Dong and his son were busy with the business outside, Zhang Yue'e mother and 'daughter' were waiting in the village with their own purposes, Zhang Yue'e was waiting for her husband to pick her up, and Mrs. Xu was waiting for an opportunity for revenge - two 'women', one persisted because of love, and the other was persistent because of hatred.

On this day, a sailing ship suddenly ran aground nearby, and pirates in South Australia hijacked the passengers, only to discover that the owner of the ship was a monk.

Even if the man on the sea doesn't believe in Buddhism, at least he has some taboos, not to mention that this monk's bag doesn't have much oil and water, so he doesn't feel too embarrassed about him. The monk found a few fishermen on the island to help him repair the boat, and the people of Nanao Village saw that he seemed to be a person from a big place, so they asked him for some news, and after asking, they learned that it was the Mingshan monk of Hangzhou Hupao Temple.

"Hangzhou! Great place! There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou downstream. ”

The fame of heaven on earth, the fishermen and pirates in eastern Guangdong have also heard of it, and when Gu Qing opened in Nanao that day, he also told a lot of stories related to Hangzhou, but unfortunately Gu Qing ran to Japan to make a fortune.

"Hehe, talk about the ancients." One of the shipwrecked boats pointed to the monk Mingshan and said, "This little master will too!" ”

"Ahh Are you sure? Listen to that! ”

The boat has not been repaired, at night, the monk Mingshan told some stories of Buddhist scriptures to the fishermen on the seashore, Xu Hai's eloquence is good, but unfortunately the story in the Buddhist scriptures is not enough compared with the story told by Wang Qing.

"Little Master, the story you tell is not good!" There were protests.

"But monk, I won't tell anything other than the stories in these scriptures."

Someone said: "If you come from a place like Hangzhou, don't you have some ready-made stories to tell?" ”

"Ready-made story...... Monk Mingshan thought for a while and said, "That's some, speaking of which, a strange thing happened in Zhejiang recently." ”

"Oh, wonders? Is that true? ”

Even in the same plot, the real story is always more attractive than the story, so some fishermen are interested: "What is it?" ”

"We have a pavilion in Zhejiang, and there is a daughter in the pavilion mansion, who was hijacked by thieves twice in a row in a few days, and was rescued twice by the same son, everyone said, is this news? Is it a coincidence? ”

"Ahh There is such a thing, monk, tell us about it! ”

Monk Mingshan began to tell the news of the daughter of the old mansion and the son of the tour, and the "beautiful" encounter in the news was heard with relish by all the fishermen, and they were all speculating that after the son saved the young lady, there was no good thing in the cabin.

"Probably." Monk Mingshan 'revealed' a smile that a monk should not have: "Later, this young lady married this son." ”

"Ahh Sounds so fake. Someone shouted: "Just like the one who talked about Gu Qing, they are all talented and beautiful." Monk, you must have made it up when you couldn't stay in the temple and wanted to be a 'woman'. ”

"Amitabha, good, good!" The monk of Mingshan called the Buddha and said: "The monk does not speak, and he does not dare to have 'lewd' thoughts." It's true. And their wedding was still a big hit. Strange to say, I heard that this son is very famous in the East China Sea, and you also have sailors, right? Why haven't you heard of this? ”

Someone asked what the name of the prince was, and the monk Mingshan said: "I heard that this prince is from Fujian, surnamed Wang, called Wang Qing, is the general owner of a large fleet in the East China Sea, or the owner of the village in Penghu." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people shouted at the same time, saying, "Wang Qing? Monk! You're not mistaken, are you? ”

Monk Mingshan said: "No, no, this matter is true. Foshan went to Putuo Mountain to worship Guanyin, and passed through Shuangyu on the way, which I heard in Shuangyu. I also saw the wedding boat of the general owner of the king, and I saw the boy sitting in the boat from a distance. As he spoke, he described the face of the son.

Then some of the pirates who recognized the East Gate Qing shouted: "Something happened! It's really about Guqing! ”

The next day, the rumor spread in South Australia. The left-behind manager, Zhou Baldzi, said to the deputy of finance, Li Coconut Shell: "Something big is going to happen!" If Wang Qing abandons his wife, he will no longer have scruples about holding Zhang Yue'e with us, and maybe he will come to plot against South Australia! ”

Li Coconut Shell was also a little worried: "Then what should I do?" ”

"What's the solution!" Zhou Bald said: "Their East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is powerful, and we can't fight them." ”

Li Coconut Shell said: "Their Donghai Chamber of Commerce is just a ball of wet sand pinched together, saying that it is a family, but in fact, there is a lot of fighting!" Wang Qing wants to do something to us, and the rest of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce may not be able to help, maybe for fear that his power will grow, but it will restrain him! ”

"Even if there is no help from others, in the long run, the owner of the village will only be Wang Qing's." Zhou Bald said: "Think about it, we have been eating our old books in the past few years, and we don't necessarily have the opportunity to grow, but Wang Qing's side is the same day by day!" I think it will be a year and a half in the short term, or three or five years in the long, and Qinghuaxiang's side will be big enough to pinch us to death at any time! ”

"Even then, it will be three or five years from now." Li Coconut Shell said.

"It's not immediate, but it's guarded!" Zhou Bald said: "You have to wait until the fire burns your eyebrows and 'hairs' to find water, and then it will be too late!" ”

When Li Coconut Shell heard this, he said suspiciously, "What do you want to do?" Trouble, or go to secretly vote for Wang Qing? ”

"It's not good. The incident is too dangerous, Xu Dong grasps the power too tightly, and even his son is guarded, so we don't have much success; As for taking refuge with outsiders, we don't have a deep relationship with Wang Qing, I don't know if we can climb him! Zhou Bald said: "I have a third way, which is safer than these two, will you follow me?" Li Coconut Shell couldn't think of it, Zhou Bald said: "Do you remember, when Wang Qingcai set off from Daxiaogan Island, it was really no one and no money, how could he go to sea?" ”

Li Coconut said: "I heard that it was the little tail who helped him. ”

"That's not all." Zhou Bald said: "I have carefully investigated it afterwards, and the young owner of the village also secretly funded him a lot, but the young owner of the village has never told us, or even mentioned it to the owner of the village!" ”

Li Yeke was a little surprised when he heard this, and faintly thought of something: "You mean, the young master has always been 'fornicating' with Wang Qing?" But why did he do it? ”

Zhou Bald sneered: "Have you forgotten what happened back then? Xu Dong is not Xu Chaoguang's biological son! ”

"You mean......" Li Coconut Shell lowered his voice: "He knows?" ”

Zhou Bald said: "I look like it! ”

Li Cocon's eyes narrowed, if Xu Chaoguang already knew his life experience, then all this was worth savoring. If Xu Chaoguang and Wang Qing had reached a secret alliance before, then Wang Qing would not be Xu Chaoguang's foreign enemy but a strong reinforcement. And Li Coconut also understood Zhou Bald's third way: not to cause trouble, not to collaborate with the enemy, but to assist Xu Chaoguang. This path is much larger in terms of both success and safety.

The open and secret struggle in the sea of eastern Guangdong continued, and Zhang Yue, who was originally one of the focal points of the struggle, was gradually eliminated from the ranks of important chess pieces because of this news.

But for Zhang Yue, she doesn't care if she is important to the heroes on the sea, what she cares about is whether she is important to Wang Qing!

When someone with a lot of things came to tell her about Yuyao's marriage, Zhang Yue'e felt that the sky had fallen!

In the past, although she was a hostage, everyone was afraid that she had a powerful husband outside, and she would give three points of face to everything, but now her husband doesn't want her, this 'woman' who was abandoned by her husband is like an old dress that has been thrown away in the eyes of everyone. The eyes of the people around her and the words of her talked about her like needles from her ears and eyes to her heart! At this time, the only one who was still good to her was Mrs. Xu!

Although Mrs. Xu was also shocked, when she saw the 'girl's lost soul, she still cheered up her 'spirit' and persuaded her: "Don't believe this! The gossip of a passing monk! There are many such rumors on the sea! Even more absurd than this, I have heard tens of thousands of things in the past 20 years! ”

But for a 'woman', the absence of her husband for a long time is a danger signal in itself! What's more, Zhang Yue's husband is so romantic and outstanding! When he was still very depressed, Zhang Yue'e also felt that her husband was such a charming four-'shot', not to mention that now he is developed!

She remembered the words of her husband on the eve of his departure to sea:

"Our family is big!"

Yes, he is a son of a big family, will his family admit that he is a weak 'girl' on the sea who is 'waved' and 'swinging' and helpless?

Zhang Yue'e 'touched' her stomach and cried bitterly. If she can keep this child, if she can give birth to a son for Dongmen, then she will be more sure of her future, but now......

Now she can only hope that the news is fake!

But soon she despaired. Someone confirmed that this rumor was true, this person was Xu Dong!

Xu Dong didn't get anything out of "fishing" this time, but he brought back a piece of news: Wang Qing really got married in Yuyao!

This incident is a happy event for Qinghuaxiang, and the Penghu side and the Yuegang side have been notified a long time ago, although there is no hype, but friendly forces like Niujiapu still know about it. What's more, the relationship between Penghu and Nanao is far-reaching, and there are many 'private' connections between the pirates on the two islands.

"This ...... Is this true? Mrs. Xu still held on to the hope of what happened, but when she looked at Xu Chaoguang, she saw her son nodding.

Zhang Yue'e shook her whole body twice, and finally fell to the ground.
