The old garden is now willow-colored, and the Lingge sings the first spring.

Early spring is the season when everything begins to recover.

At this time, Jia Qing and Daiyu are leaving Suzhou, an ancient city with a reputation as paradise.

"Let's go up."

Looking at Daiyu standing in the cold spring breeze and looking back, Jia Qing said softly.

So, Daiyu took one last look at the vague ancient city and turned to board the ship.

"Second master, Lord Zheng sent someone to ask if the anchor is going to be lifted?" Wang Shun walked up to Jia Qing and asked.

"Not busy."

Jia Qing looked at a boat next to him, walked slowly over there, and walked up.

Wang Shun hurriedly followed.

"Why did you bring this thing too?"

Looking at the sedan chair on the deck, Jia Qingdao said.

This boat is a flower boat built by the Faculty Department with a lot of money and specially used for the water performance of the Twelve Le Ji. Since taking over, Jia Qing has not come up to see it, and it is all arranged by Wang Shun.

What was on the deck at this time was the luxurious soft sedan chair that he sat on from the Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen to the Slender West Lake that day.

Wang Shun said with a smile: "Boss Wu said that the sedan chair you have sat on, he doesn't dare to let others use it anymore." It's a pity to put it in vain, it's better to let the second master take it back, and you can use it when you're free, it's more comfortable than a carriage. ”

Why do literati like to sit in sedan chairs? There is only one benefit, smooth, no bumps, comfortable!

Jia Qing didn't feel much about the sedan chair, and said: "This thing is comfortable to sit on, but it's too public, and it is estimated that it will not be used when you go back to Beijing." However, it's a pity to throw it away in vain, take it back, and let the ancestors sit and sit when you have to be idle. ”

After saying that, he ignored this stubble and continued to move forward. At this time, five or six people came forward to say goodbye, all women and mothers-in-law. Wang Shun hurriedly said: "These are all the teaching grandmothers in the Teaching Workshop Division, who are in charge of Murong Yanran's teachings and other matters. ”

Then he pointed to the person who was the leader: "This is the chief manager Rong Mama......"

What? Jia Qing took a deep look at the famous figure with a smile on his face in front of him, and couldn't help but take a breath for Murong Yanran and the others! With such a murderous teaching on the stall, I'm afraid it's not easy to live.

Mama Rong didn't understand why Jia Qing was staring at her, and she was a little uneasy. Wang Shun said: "The second master wants to go in and see Miss Murong Yanran?" ”

Mama Rong immediately said, "I'll arrange for them to come out to see the adults." As he spoke, he turned around and called for someone.

Jia Qing's eyebrows widened, and Wang Shun immediately drank Rong Mama and said: "Bastard thing, the master hasn't spoken yet, how can you be in charge, don't get back!" ”

Rong Mama paused, Nuo Nuo turned around, her face was embarrassed, but she didn't dare to have a trace of dissatisfaction, and slowly stood aside.

Jia Qing was happy when he saw it, Wang Shun, this kid has more and more potential to be a dog's leg! However, it is indeed a worry-free thing to have a dog leg who can know his mind at any time.

"I heard, any of you here are sick?"

With Fang Cai's lesson, Mama Rong was much more stable, and after making sure that Jia Qing was asking her, she said respectfully: "It's not a big deal, it's just that one of the girls is suffering from the cold, and this child is taking medicine." I didn't expect it to alarm the adults, if the girls knew that the adults cared about them so much, and they didn't know how happy they were, even if they practiced dancing, they would be able to do their best more! ”

Jia Qing said secretly, no wonder. On such a cold day, I still practice dancing, so it's no wonder if I don't get sick! Moreover, most of the time there is also this reason for Mama Rong's persecution, so that she can use it to please herself in time!

"Okay, you don't have to think in vain, this official has not been prepared to enjoy the dance recently, you just have to take care of them.

Not a big deal? I can tell you, whoever has an accident with them, the officer will ask for you. ”

Mama Rong's face changed, and she hurriedly said, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Jia Qing took one last look at the roofless cabin erected in the center, turned around and got off the boat.

Jia Qing never doubted that he had a heart of pity and cherishment, so he didn't want the beauty to be humiliated. However, he also doesn't take the initiative to make trouble for himself!

These twelve women are all people with outstanding appearances, and they have experienced twists and turns, and it is inevitable that there are no people who are unwilling to be normal, and if they live well, they will inevitably cause trouble, and Jia Qing himself can't bear to deal with it at that time. These teachers and grandmothers are all unapproachable, but the value of their existence is to remind them of their identity at any time and be safe and normal.

To put it vulgarly, let these teaching grandmothers train them well, so as not to block him and make him unhappy!

Therefore, although Jia Qing himself doesn't like these teaching grandmothers, he still has to let them take care of and teach these dancing girls.

If Wang Shun is let this kid take care of it, he will be confused by keeping himself. In the original book, Jia Qiang was responsible for disciplining the few small dramas that didn't grow all the hair, and they were eaten to death by the Ling Guan, even Yuanchun asked for a play, Jia Qiang asked her to sing this one, and the Ling Guan wanted to sing another play, Jia Qiang had no way at all......

Change this Rong Mama to discipline and try?

From this point of view, Jia Qing can be regarded as a ruthless person!

......

On the other side of the boat, in a small wing, several women gathered here to visit the people on the sickbed.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

The woman on the sickbed looked very weak, and nodded when she heard the words: "I'm much better, thank you sisters for your concern...... By the way, what happened outside just now, how did I hear the commotion? ”

One of them replied, "I heard that Lord Qincha came on board." ”

When the woman heard this, she said with some guilt: "I'm sorry...... It's all my fault, you can't show the best dance for adults to watch......"

A woman said with relief: "Don't say that, Lord Qincha didn't mean to see us at all, and he didn't stay for a while and went down." ”

"How so?"

The woman was puzzled.

Since knowing that the others were transferred to Jia Qing, everyone can be said to be mixed. I am happy that I don't have to serve a vulgar profiteer like Wu Qi anymore, but I am worried that I don't know what the fate of myself and others will be......

For this reason, they have been rehearsing the dance for more than half a month, and she is also sick because of this. However, Jia Qing ignored them before, it can be said that he was too busy and had no time!

But now that they are all on the boat, how can they go down without even seeing them?

If he doesn't care about them at all, but he's obviously on the boat again?

She was not the only one who had this question, and one of them suddenly looked at Murong Yanran, who had been pondering beside him, and said, "Sister Yanran, what kind of person do you say this Lord Qincha is?" ”

"Yes, only my sister has seen him here, sister, tell us, why doesn't he see us?" The other is also the same.

Their only honor guard is their posture and talent, and they also rely on this to win attention. If Jia Qing, who is now in control of them, really doesn't care about this, there is no doubt that their life will be very difficult.

This has to worry them.

At this time, Murong Yanran was also thinking about it, and all that turned in her mind was the bits and pieces when she saw Jia Qing that day, and used this to speculate what kind of person Jia Qing was.

Although he still can't see through it, he can be sure of it, so he said: "I don't know what kind of person he is, but the sisters don't have to worry too much, he shouldn't be a person with few desires......"

Although it was a dusty woman, hearing Murong Yanran's words so frankly, the two of them couldn't help but blush a little and their hearts beat a little.

After a long time, a woman suddenly said: "I said that you don't have to guess at all, no matter what kind of person this young Qincha is, it is better for us to follow him now than to follow that salt merchant!" I don't believe that a young nobleman can be even worse in virtue than those salt merchants! ”

Yes, what those salt merchants treated women like them, they had heard of it, it was not even as good as a plaything, and they didn't know when it was gone!

These are all told to them by those seniors who have finally gone out and then returned to the Teaching Division.

When I heard that they were bought by the big salt merchant Wu Qi, it wasn't one or two people who wanted to die! Fortunately, within two days, I heard that this Wu Qi was buying them out to please the big man from the capital in order to curry favor with them.

Later, I heard that this big man was a young nobleman, and I didn't hear that he had bad deeds, so I changed my fearful mind when I came out of the Teaching Workshop Division, and followed him from Yangzhou to Suzhou......

"Sister Yuluo is right, since there is such a day sooner or later, there is nothing to be afraid of! Even if the real person's character is even more unbearable, it is fate that our sister is destined to have this catastrophe...... It's a big deal, it's over with a knife! There's nothing to worry about! ”

At this time, a woman suddenly said loudly, full of spirit. Speaking of which, although their lives are not good, they are quite valued in the Teaching Workshop Division because of their outstanding appearance, so in addition to the endless practice of their skills, it can be said that it is the safest and calmest place in it!

What they are most worried about is the day of "leaving the cabinet", also known as combing, which is the day when the teacher sells them on their first night. Since then, they have lived up to their status as "misses" and become normal.

If their fate is good, before that, they can find a good home, that is their greatest luxury!

Of course, this is for normal women, for the kind of strange women who have the great and noble artistic idea of "being the queen mother is better than being a prostitute", maybe the latter is the torment......

"Sister Hosta, ...... you?" The woman on the sickbed called out in some shock when she heard this.

However, she was the only one who was surprised, and everyone else hung their heads for a while.

Sometimes, it's really more frightening to live than to die!

......

At night, on the wide Grand Canal, several brightly lit boats sailed on the river.

"Where have you arrived?"

On an official ship led by Feng Tang, Chu Yan, who was in charge of escorting them back to Beijing, said.

"Lord Hui, now that the boundary of Ping'an Prefecture has passed, there are two days at most, and you can get to Beijing."

"Okay."

"Knock~!"

Feng Tang nodded, and was about to look around again, when suddenly, with the sound of tapping on the plank, the entire ship shook.

Chu Yan was shocked, and immediately pulled out his waist knife, guarded Feng Tang's side, and said: "Alert!" ”

Feng Tang pushed him away and said, "Don't worry about me, go and see what happened!" ”

"Oh no, sir, someone is digging the bottom of the boat!" He didn't have to go down to look at it, there was a boatman in the cabin who shouted loudly.

Feng Tang's face changed, and he said decisively: "Quick, quickly send people into the water and kill them!" ”

"Yes!"

Almost at the same time, there was a commotion on all ships. Hundreds of soldiers of the Jinyi Army were ready for battle, familiar with the water, and they didn't care about the cold and cold water, and the more they took their weapons, the more they entered the water.

Others, all standing on the side of the boat, some holding torches aloft so that they could see the river clearly. Some of them have bows and arrows, as long as they are not companions, if they dare to show their heads, they will shoot them immediately!

Feng Tang also walked to the side of the boat and stopped to look at it, just in case there was another attack.

"Sir!"

Several of Feng Tang's guards also rushed to Feng Tang's side.

"Go and get the boat out, get your men out, and see if there's any enemy in the distance! Also, give me the order to set up the guns on the ship in case of contingency! ”

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and left, and Feng Tang continued to watch the battlefield!

Soon, there was a hidden sound of swords and soldiers on the surface of the river, and occasionally there were screams one after another, obviously there were many commits.

Feng Tang turned a deaf ear, staring straight at the distance and both sides of the strait, fortunately, after a long time, there was no shouting of killing, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Xindao: Fortunately, I listened to Lin Ruhai's advice when I left, and brought enough Jinyi army escorts with me, otherwise......

"Oh no, the ship is sinking!"

Suddenly there was a rush of water throughout the ship, and many of the boatmen began to run to the deck, shouting.

A guard hurriedly walked up to Feng Tang and said, "Master, almost all the cabins have been chiseled through, and they can't be blocked at all. This ship is about to sink, so sir, you should hurry up and leave in a small boat! ”

Feng Tang was taken aback, you must know that this is a standard official ship, the bottom plate is quite thick and sturdy, it can be chiseled through the bottom of the water so quickly, or several people chisel through it together, and the other party's preparation can be seen.

"What's the panic? Is it that you don't know how to water or do you think I can't? ”

"But ......"

"But what, don't go and be on guard yet!"

“...... Be! ”

The battle continues. The official ship is also sinking at a visible speed.

The principals of several other ships found that the main ship was about to sink, and hurriedly released their own boats as well.

There is even the nearest one, hurry up and drive to the main ship!

Seeing that the ship was really sinking, Feng Tang turned around suddenly, but instead of preparing to escape, he climbed to the second floor.

After a while, a few soldiers in brocade clothes came out with a few boxes. These are the most important things of this trip.

Physical evidence and confessions!

This is something that the emperor wants, and there must be no loss.

The boat next to him had also arrived, quickly put down the plank, and set up between the two boats, wanting to let Feng Tang pass.

At this time, the deck was only two feet above the water, and the men in black had already begun to attack the people on board. For Feng Tang's safety, dozens of soldiers of the Jinyi Army entered the water and cleared out a safe area near the wooden plank.

"You guys, move things over!"

"Yes."

Several soldiers of the brocade army hurriedly moved their hands and carried things up to the boat over there.

Woohoo

Several sharp arrows suddenly shot at the plank, and although most missed, two people were still hit.

One of them was already unsteady because of the pain, so he rolled down the plank. Seeing that the box was about to roll into the water, the others couldn't stop it at all, but they saw a sturdy figure rushing out, able to stabilize it before it fell into the water, and then dragged it up and quickly went to the boat over there.

Fortunately, the people who released the arrows showed their heads and only had time to release one arrow, and they were shot into the water by the ensuing rain of arrows, so they carried all the boxes to another ship without danger.

The night battle continues.
