The fleet moved slowly along the river, and all the merchant ships it encountered retreated.

Slowly, some bold light boats approached, the small boats were full of fruits and food, and the fishermen who were holding the boat shouted softly, and looked up at the big boat.

This kind of peddling is not uncommon on the river. The small people have the wisdom of the small people, and the people who ride the big ships are either nobles in the sky or rich people on the ground, as long as they can sell the things bought at a low price on their own small boats, they don't have to worry about eating for ten days and a half months.

If you earn more money, you may be able to go to the cloth shop to pull two feet of cloth, make clothes for the baby at home, or buy a hairpin for the mother-in-law at home.

After all, those nobles don't care about the higher price, do they?

Besides, the people on these big ships are all dark-skinned, and they look like they have been sunbathed on the surface of the sea for a long time. What can you eat at sea? I am afraid that I am tired of eating only fish and shrimp every day, and at this time, eating a few Nantong pears with thin skin can not just relieve the greasy?

Liu Er's brain is flexible, he understands the thoughts of nobles, he bought several delicacies from Jukelou, and sold them on the river in food boxes, and was bought by nobles as soon as he came.

Regardless of the price, a piece of broken silver was thrown down directly, Liu Er happily caught the silver, and then bowed his hand to the big ship to thank him, seeing that the other people were full of thoughts, racking their brains to think about what to prepare in order to please the nobles.

The favorite thing of the fishermen was a swarthy young man on the big ship, I don't know if he was the steward or the sailor of the ship, who smiled and showed two rows of white teeth, and spoke in an easy-going manner, which made people approachable.

"Little brother, look at the old man's white melon, the white is red, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, and the melon must be fragrant and pleasant after being cut. This is the old man's own planting, and he just picked it from the ground this morning, so he can't miss it......"

The young man put down a bamboo basket with a smile and said, "That kid is blessed, when the kid was in Beijing in the past, he was greedy, so he often bought some white melons to eat at home, but some melons and fruits are not very fresh after being transported to Beijing from other places, this time you must taste them." ”

The old fisherman took out the silver money from the bamboo basket, then picked a few of the largest white melons and put them in, and after watching the young man pull the basket up, he said, "Little brother is from Jingshi?" ”

"No, the boy's hometown is in Yangzhou, and then the master's family transferred me to Beijing on an errand, and since then I have been in Beijing ......"

The old fisherman gave a thumbs up and said, "Little brother has a chance!" Jingshi is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the people who live in it are all nobles, and they can be on errands under the hands of nobles, not to mention the amount of money they earn, the key is to be decent.

A few years ago, an inspector came from the Beijing Division, and the old man took a look at it from a distance, but it was not like the song in the play, wearing a vermilion hat and a silk robe, which was unspeakably expensive......"

The young man praised: "My husband is knowledgeable! ”

The old fisherman looked proud, looking at the young man in front of him more and more pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for the fact that the daughter of the family had already had in-laws, it was not good to say that this person was also a good match.

A building boat stood on the river, blocking the front of the fleet, there were many people standing at the bow of the building boat, the old fisherman took a look, they were all officials in official uniforms, and hurriedly rowed away, this kind of big scene is not something that the small people can blindly mix.

"Xiaguan Nan informed the government that Zhu Zhiwen and his colleagues from Nantong visited Lord Qincha!" On the boat, the middle-aged man standing at the front shouted.

Cao Wei squatted on the ground, looked at the building boat in front of him, and said to himself: "Qincha? When did this official become a ...... of the Qin Mission?"

When he set out from Nanjing, he went to Songjiang Mansion to suppress the bandits, but due to the urgency of time, there were too many constraints on the transfer of troops from Nanjing, so Cao Wei led the mercenary guards to Songjiang Mansion to suppress the bandits.

Theoretically speaking, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, there is no one who can use force at will, even the emperor has to discuss with the six departments of the cabinet before deciding on the transfer of troops, but now there is such a person, he can take thousands of people to run around at will, where is the law of the imperial court? Where will the emperor's majesty go? Where will the face of the cabinet and the six ministries go?

Although Cao Wei and these people are no longer officers and soldiers, who doesn't know the details of these people? Upon closer examination, thousands of officers and soldiers who had already left the barracks still had weapons and swords in their hands, and no previous dynasties had ever heard of such a thing.

If the bigwigs of the imperial court were not in a hurry to improve the situation of redundant troops, they would not agree to this at all.

Qin Cha represents the emperor and the imperial court, and is the official representative, and now these officials in Nantong have come to visit Qin Cha for the sake of visiting Qin Cha, Cao Wei can't help but wonder if these local colleagues have drunk too much wine today and have caused a misunderstanding.

Cao Bin, Liu Zhu and other hundreds of households heard the movement and walked out of the cabin one after another and stood on the deck. When Zhu Zhiwen saw Cao Bin walking in the front, he thought he was Cao Wei and was about to salute, but he heard a respectful voice beside him: "Ma Jing, the eunuch of Nantong Mansion, has seen Master Hou!" ”

"Have you seen me?"

Zhu Zhiwen was taken aback when he saw that it was a young man who had been squatting on the ground who was speaking, although he had already seen this young man, he regarded him as a miscellaneous servant and his follower, but he didn't expect that this was the main master.

He was still a little unhappy just now, after all, he was the leader of this visit, and now a eunuch rushed to the front to speak, clearly wanting to take his face, but at this time he secretly said in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately this time the eunuch who guarded the town was also brought, otherwise he might have to make a joke.

This dead eunuch deserves to come from the palace, and he knows many nobles......

"The miscellaneous family was transferred to Nantong as an errand for more than a month, originally on duty in the Wenhua Palace, I have seen the Hou Ye a few times, although the Hou Ye is tanned, but the demeanor is graceful, the bearing is extraordinary, and the miscellaneous family will see you at a glance."

Ma Jing showed a flattering look on his face, he was on an errand in the palace, so he naturally knew Cao Wei's status in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty is in good health?"

Ma Jing said with a smile: "Hou Ye Lao is worried, the emperor is healthy and healthy, but he keeps talking about you." Not only the emperor, but also the crown prince is worried about you......"

Zhu Zhiwen stood aside and was secretly shocked, the origin of this Lord Qincha is really extraordinary, and the real Jane is in the emperor's heart.

Zhu Zhiwen exhaled deeply and said respectfully: "My lord passed by Nantong Mansion, my colleagues in Nantong are fortunate to be with me, please come to Nantong so that my colleagues in Nantong can do their best to be landlords, and the people of Nantong will be happy!" ”

Cao Wei was about to refuse, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a young man in a cyan official uniform standing at the back, his mind changed, and he smiled: "Since the Zhu Governor's Mansion invited, the official is very gracious and difficult to shirk, so let's live in Nantong for a few days and disturb the Zhu Governor's Mansion." ”

Answer... Promised?

Not only Zhu Zhiwen, but everyone who came to see this Lord Qincha was stunned, and they all felt that they had heard something.

According to the previous script, the Qincha passed by the place, and the local officials came to meet and greet him to show respect, and the Qincha represented the Son of Heaven and had a heavy power, so he could not make friends with the locality, otherwise he would easily fall into the handle and be criticized for forming a party for personal gain.

Therefore, the local officials casually invited, and the Qincha should casually refuse. But what's going on now? Does this young Qincha know how to be polite, or does he not understand the rules of the industry?

"What? Doesn't Lord Zhu welcome this official? ”

"Happy... Welcome ......" Zhu Zhiwen really wanted to slap his mouth, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for having nothing to do, he could really eat indiscriminately, and he couldn't talk nonsense.

Lou Chuan turned around and led the way, and returned to the cabin, Zhu Zhiwen's face was a little gloomy, he looked back at the big ship following behind, his face showed a hint of melancholy, and then he turned his head, closed his eyes expressionlessly and pretended to sleep.

Ma Jing sat on Zhu Zhiwen's side, glanced around lightly, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Zhiwen's face, revealing a shallow smile.
