Hey, hey, hey", Zhao Xing laughed wildly: "Tong Guan is not so bold) 77 No one has the courage to start a war with me on the river, give the order to go down, let those two small boats be on the side, I want to see who is so bold to chase my gunboat on the river!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Xing comforted the three female actors as if they were fine: "What are you panicking about?" Zhao Laohu slaughtered countless people, and all of them were people who could be killed. I haven't done anything to a woman yet, so I took you away because I didn't want Tong Guanri to make trouble later.

If you want to get rid of your nationality (lowly), and then hide your name anonymously, I only need to hand it to the magistrate, you can change your name whatever you want, and the magistrate will give you the detailed procedures...... What do you mean? ”

The so-called "wash all the lead and marry into the family of ordinary people", not everyone has the courage to do it. The oirans usually enjoyed the flattery of the talented officials, drank the best wine, wore the most expensive silk and satin, ate the most famous delicacies, stretched out their hands when they ate their mouths, sang and danced all day long, and all they paid was the instinct to please and sell well.

Now, seeing that there is an opportunity to walk into the home of the first-class master of the current dynasty, spend the second half of their lives leisurely, give them another choice, let them choose to wash all the lead, marry an ordinary man, cook their own food, sew their own clothes, live by the pigsty, and use their hands to paint and dance every day, wash and cook and clean pig manure, and weave with their own hands, and personally go to the market to bargain with the vendors one by one...... Such an idyllic day is not what a woman who enjoys all the glory is willing to choose.

Two chased by the river. The boat is getting closer and closer, and the people on the boat can already be seen, and there are two gorgeous women standing at the bow of the boat, urging the boatman to speed up, while calling out to Zhao Xing's warship: "Xianggong, Zhao Xianggong, and go slowly, wait for the slave family, the slave has something to ask for!" ”

Yizhang Qing was surprised: "It's another. Two Yangzhou Oiran? ”

Autumn blurt. And out: "It's the two fox spirits in Kuaiyi Building and Linjiang Building, I'm still thinking about staying, these two fox spirits are chasing after them, what do you want to do?" It's infuriating! ”

Autumn forgets, in fact, it is also in the eyes of others. of vixens.

Chasing after are several current flowers in Yangzhou. Chief. That is, during Zhao Xing's time in Yangzhou, he ignored the Oiran.

Zhao Xing in Yangzhou with the five Oiran in front of him. The friendship was not deliberately chosen by him, just because these five were geisha who usually had close contacts with Hou Meng, and when Hou Meng and Zhao Xing met, he recommended them to Zhao Xing by the way.

Witnessed Liao's little wind. After love. Zhao Xing is no longer as curious and hazy about geisha as a first-time brother in love. To paraphrase a modern phrase: he is now hundreds of thousands of people up and down every second. Too lazy to put more thought into women. The existence of the female warrior is just a cover for him. At that time, the situation in the DPRK was turbulent. He also behaved militarily and out of line. It is necessary to use the beauty of the wind and snow to attract the hostile eyes of others. So Hou Mengyi recommended. He was too lazy to explore on his own. Those who came accepted these tricks without refusal.

There are a lot of things to deal with every day. The energy of people and land will inevitably be dispersed. Zhao Xing was paying close attention to the changes in the court situation at that time. And secretly plotting one conspiracy after another. On the bright side, he is fascinated by the flowers and sleeping in the moon every day. Hug and hug the women. But if you take a microscope to observe the movement of Zhao Xing's brain cells. He will be taken aback by the plans in his mind to turn the river and Haiti upside down.

Zhao Xing in this state of mind. There are already five female servants around. I don't have the energy to greet people anymore. And after the military admonition, Zhao Xing's authority became increasingly heavy. There are a large number of subordinates in and out. He didn't nod. It's hard for others to get close. So. A few Oirans were snubbed, although they were full of complaints. But they didn't have a chance to get close to Zhao Xingdi. Full of grievances, there is naturally no way to talk about it.

At this time. The boats on the river line up in a line and move one by one. This happens to be the only opportunity to get close to Zhao Xingdi. Two girls jumped on the boat urging the boatman to hurry. Next to him, Autumn raised an eyebrow. scolded and said, "Xianggong." Leave them alone. We go ourselves. ”

Zhao Xing asked again: "Have you decided?" ”

The elder Oiran suddenly knelt down. cried: "Captain Xing has mercy. We still have the hard-earned money in the past. That's a hundred thousand. If you use this money to get by. Find a small deal. You can also find a good man. Captain Tell the Rules. ”

The other two Oiran glanced at each other, knelt down as well, and pleaded, "Captain Wangtai is in charge." ”

At this time, the only green and autumn day did not move.

Zhao Xing pointed to the shore and replied: "I can call the shots in Tongzhou, Taizhou, I will give each of you a pair of name thorns, let the guards go to the state government with you, the magistrate will naturally arrange your departure, and then arrange a new identity for you, and the guards will help you buy a property in the local area to make you settle down, how about it?" If you decide, don't meet with the people in Kuaiyi Building and Linjiang Building, you will have to live a new life in the future, and it will be bad if you are known about your past identity! ”

The three female servants bowed their heads and replied: "It's up to the captain to decide!" ”

Zhao Xing asked Zhang Qing and Autumn again: "What are your plans?" I'm here today, and I'm the one in charge."

Autumn looked at Zhao Xing with big watery eyes and didn't speak. Yizhang Qing was simply and immediately replied: "The slave family can't pick up the shoulder and can't weave, the best thing is to dance in the palm of the hand, may the captain spread out his palm to care, and the slave is willing to dance in the palm of the captain for life." ”

Zhao Xing asked again: "Autumn, you also say something." ”

"Taiwei doesn't need to say", the autumn waves are tactful, looking at the passing water in the river: "The slave is a good girl, unfortunately into the dust, if the Taiwei is willing to be contained, the slave is willing to sing for the Taiwei; If the captain refuses, this river spring water is a safe place for slaves. ”

The three women who begged to leave scolded in unison: "Vixen." I knew that there was a trick to commit suicide by throwing ourselves into the river, and we also used it...... Repentance! ”

"Very good!" Zhao Xing nodded: "In this way, the three of you will get off the boat from the other side of the ship, and my guards will accompany you to settle down."

Command: Slow down the ship and let the incoming ship dock. ”

Zhao Xing's boat "Apple" is a 2,000-material ship, the hull is divided into three layers above the water, and there is also a gangway on the deck. The entire deck is nearly three feet above the water, and if the boat does not lower the suspension ladder, the people in the boat will not be able to get up to the boat at all.

Zhao Xing on the boat took a bite of the apple, then raised the apple in his hand to look at it carefully, and after a pause, he smacked his lips regretfully and sighed: "This uncultivated wild apple is really tasteless, no wonder it is only suitable for making wine and making fruit dan peel...... Lower the rope ladder

Coming here, what else can I do, let their boat chase all the way to TL

The first to climb onto the boat were two boatmen, these two boatmen were dressed in short clothes, and the shadow of the Suzaku Army's military uniform could be clearly seen in the costume, they had a short knife pinned to their waists, and a wooden stick in their hands, they boarded the boat, they struck the board with the wooden stick, put on a cool pose, and shouted: "Swift on the river, fast on the river, mail personnel and things, no difference, outstanding reputation...... Swift and hurried to greet the Captain, and to the two girls. ”

Zhao Xing sighed and looked the two anxious feet up and down. At this time, the heads of the two women poked their heads out of the side of the boat, and the anxious feet hurriedly turned around, stretched out the sticks in their hands for the women to pull, and helped the two girls climb up.

Seeing the person showing his head, he jumped into Zhao Xing's arms, unceremoniously took a bite of an apple in Zhao Xing's hand, and said coquettishly: "Where is it not delicious, crispy and sweet, slightly sour, delicious and tight!" ”

Yizhang Qing was not to be left behind, and hurriedly picked up the knife, and said with a smile: "Maybe the peel is a little astringent, Xianggong, the slave peeled the peel for you, okay?" ”

In the Song Dynasty, the "urgent foot line" was similar to the modern post office, but the "urgent foot line" in the Song Dynasty was even mailed by people. There is a story in modern legends that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin "sent a thousand miles to Jingniang", and modern people speculate that Song Taizu may have served as a courier for "urgent footwalking" when he was poor, and the parcel delivered by mail is the legendary "Jingniang".

In the early Song Dynasty, that thief. However, the Song Dynasty was a society that paid attention to etiquette, and if the anxious feet were escorting women, they could not touch the body of the guests on the way, otherwise it would be a violation of the rules of the trade - this is why the anxious feet stretched out their sticks to pull the two girls.

In modern legends, Zhao Kuangyin is in. In the process of escorting Jing Niang, he never accosted Jing Niang, and he always left the distance of a stick between walks - all these descriptions happened to be the industry constraints of the "anxious feet" in the Song Dynasty on the anxious feet.

Two girls. Climbing the stick and walking the deck, the soldiers on the deck were first amazed, and then looked at Zhao Xing with a smile, and Qiu Ri and Zhao Xing snuggled even tighter, and the two raised their eyebrows demonstratively, staring at the two Oiran who were chasing.

Zhao Xing looked these two oirans up and down, well, what does it mean to wash all the lead, maybe the current appearance of these two oirans is the best annotation of this word, they are dressed very elegantly, there is not too much jewelry on their heads, and there is no rouge on their faces, and they look plain and faced...... Even so, their beauty still made the sailors on the Apple dizzy.

It was the officer who first came to his senses and he. They raised their faces and reprimanded: "It is forbidden to watch, the soldiers are in place, stick to their posts...... Boatswain, our boat could not stop, threw down the suspension and dragged the boat away. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head and interjected: "Use a crane. Lift the boat up, and I'll see their oars. ”

The two anxious feet looked at each other. At a glance, before he could speak, Zhao Xing immediately said again: "Swift, this name seems to be a velociraptor that imitates me...... Sailing on the river, although my boat has to move in turn on the main channel, so the speed is controlled, but it is not easy for your boat to catch up with us. Lift the boat up, I'm going to see its oars. ”

After the two anxious feet looked at each other, one of them bowed down and reported: "Xianggong, we don't have oars on our boat, we use hydrofoils." ”

The so-called "hydrofoil" is the name of the Song people for the two big paddle wheels of the loach boat.

Before the new Oiran could speak, Zhao Xing was sideways, and they hurriedly stepped forward to greet Yizhangqing and Autumn with caution, while Zhao Xing let go of Yizhangqing and Autumn and paced to the side of the boat, leaning over to observe the hurried boat hanging from the side of the boat, and observing the three female dancers who left from the other side.

The Foot Rush was indeed a hydrofoil, with two miniature paddlewheels on either side of its hull, which were made of iron footnotes. Looking at its design ideas, it seems that the boatman sits on the boat, driving the hydrofoil forward by rocking the rocker, if it rocks fast, the boat speed is fast, and even catches up with Zhao Xing's boat.

Because of the deep draft, Zhao Xing's boat could only sail in the middle of the channel, and the center of the channel was generally busy, so although the warships in front had tried their best to drive away the ships to make way for Zhao Xing to open the waterway in the middle of the river, the "Apple" also had to control its speed and follow the ships in front of it slowly according to the navigation practice.

Although the speed has been controlled, the "Apple" is a ship, its one sail is larger than the area of two small boats combined, and the ship has three masts, a total of more than a dozen sails, even if it is half sail forward, it is still like a galloping horse. This speed also allowed the stilters to catch up, and you can imagine how fast the hydrofoils used by the stilts were. This is a constant speed, which means that shaking the runner to turn the hydrofoil must be more labor-saving than paddling, which makes the hydrofoil move like a fish scurrying on the water.

The hydrofoil in front of him already has the taste of a modern propeller, its blades are not straight like the paddle wheel, and they are arranged in an arc and curve, Zhao Xing studied it in surprise for a long time, and whispered: "Could it be that the Song Dynasty already has fluid dynamics, otherwise, how could this propeller suddenly appear...... Is it a traverser again? ”

The anxious feet watched Zhao Xing study the hydrofoil, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and heard Zhao Xing muttering in a low voice, shaking his head, although they didn't understand what Zhao Xing said, but they noticed Zhao Xing's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly confessed: "Tai Lieutenant, this hydrofoil has been registered, and it has been registered in the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, which is called ...... Patent! Our shipowner bought a patent to manufacture this kind of fast boat in Yangzhou......"

Zhao Xing shook his head, muttered something in a low voice, waved his hand and ordered the officer: "Okay, put the boat down and drag it behind the big boat...... When I go back, remember to remind me, look up the most recent patents, find out the inventor, and I want to talk to him. ”

The crane squeaked and began to move, and by the time the noise subsided, the four women were already talking hotly.

Women are strange animals, they call each other sisters intimately, and they are familiar like a family, but Zhao Xing clearly felt the tense hostility, and he asked the two oirans with a smile: "Two oiran ladies, what are you chasing after you?" I don't want to enjoy the same treatment as my teacher Po Gong, and come to the river to ask for poetry, and the poems written by this official are far inferior to those of the family teacher. ”

Autumn was about to report on the content of the conversation between them just now, and she opened her mouth, and the Oiran of the Happy Building had already grabbed the conversation smartly

Kuaiyu explained: "Xianggong, you don't know, since you left, Yangzhou T Li Yanfu Palace dismissed tens of thousands of palace maids, although most of the palace maids were taken back by their families, but there are many who have no family, they have gone south to Yangzhou, Yangzhou local rich businessmen compete to marry, some poor and helpless palace maids, simply enter the Taoist temple...... Hmph, now, the limelight of our Oiran has been stolen by those merry little Taoist aunts. ”

The Oiran of Linjiang Tower also took over the topic with a very good eye, and blocked the mouth of Yizhang Qing and Autumn with very fast words, she said: "Whoa, where is the Taoist aunt, who attracts bees and butterflies every day, and is even bolder than the Qinglou Tile House, and it is said in the industry that this is trained by His Majesty, and it is the charm of the palace, which attracts those idiots to spend a lot of money in order to see it."

Taiwei doesn't know, since you left, several of our neglected Oiran are no longer loved, and people say that Taiwei can't look down on it, there must be a reason. This day can't go on, so the sisters discussed, and simply took advantage of the fact that the wind had not yet made a big fuss and redeemed themselves. It just so happened that the palace maids came a lot, and the building didn't care about us waiting, but fortunately got out.

The other three sisters went south and north, all thinking of finding an ordinary family to marry. Only my sister is usually thrifty, with a little spare money on hand, thinking about the prosperity of Hangzhou, and planning to go to Hangzhou, or open a weaving factory, or open a teahouse, or open a wine shop, and earn three or five pension money casually. It's just that we are not familiar with life, and no one can take care of this kind of business, so I came to ask Lord Taiwei to go the same way. ”

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and agreed: "Why don't you ...... Wait, I'll introduce you to a person, it's my servant Yuan Yeping, and let him arrange what you ask for. ”

Genye Ping from the shadows. He whispered: "I need a lot of manpower to open teahouses and Goolan Washes in various places, and they came just in time - I came out of the territory, and I arranged the second child of the turtle slave running hall, just to train the female musicians, and to rely on the two Oiran."

Come on, come on, I'll wait here to discuss......"

Yuan Yeping greeted the two warmly. The maid entered the cabin to discuss his evil plan, and after a while, when he left the cabin, Zhao Xing had already set up a stove on the deck to roast the meat. Yuan Ye Ping Lu approached Zhao Xing's side, and said with a little annoyance: "Why didn't Changmen Hall think of this trick earlier, the three Oirans you dismissed are also the leaders in the industry, it's a pity to be idle, why don't I go ashore and find them?" ”

ZHAO Xingluoyi. Pondering, nodding in approval: "The rush boat is leaning on the side of the big boat, you go to ...... on this boat"

At this time, two anxious feet were leaning on the side of the boat. side, curiously looking around, observing this legendary warship. Legend has it that the giant boat that Zhao Xing sat on ran half the world, destroying countless countries along the way, supporting the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty everywhere, making the life of the Song people overseas extremely comfortable.

Legend has it that the Divine Sect Giant Boat is also three. A large ship of thousands to five thousand materials, but unfortunately this giant ship has disappeared without a trace after sailing once, but Zhao Xing's giant ship is in reality, two anxious and curious looking around, looking at the sailors on the ship under the command of the captain, one will raise the sail, one will lower the sail, and the mast will be turned for a while, so as to let the sail eat the wind.

As they watched, they muttered under their breath, and a faint sound in the wind indicated that they seemed to be discussing why the deck was so clean that there was not a single cannon in sight. In the oral legend of the Song people, Zhao Xing's ship was full of cannons, and once the warship fired, the whole hull was like a festival blooming flower, which was very dazzling.

Yuan Yeping walked towards the two. Walking in a hurry, Zhao Xing shook his head to stop: "It's useless, they won't leave the deck, because their 'package' hasn't been delivered to the destination Hangzhou yet...... I just tried, and they don't even eat the food that is handed to them, they only eat the dry food they carry with them in their packages. It's admirable.

You take a few sailors and let our sailors operate the hydrofoil, and as long as you drive the boat back to Hangzhou afterwards and return it to the two of them in good condition, presumably they will have no complaints. ”

Yuan Yeping agreed, and greeted the servant: "You, you, you, go with me, go out on a trip, leave now, you don't need to bring any luggage, just bring your weapons." ”

When Yuan Yeping led all the people and climbed onto the quick-footed hydrofoil, the two hurryers were not in a hurry, and they didn't mean to stop them at all from beginning to end, and when Yuanyeping drove away from their hydrofoil, they just lay on the side of the boat and looked around-just for a moment, and then, without any excesses, they returned to the side of the boat to nibble on steamed buns.

The captain brought over a bag of silver coins according to Zhao Xing's instructions, threw it to the two anxious feet, and explained: "My people have an urgent matter to use your boat, this is the charter fee, the ship will pay you back, when you arrive in Hangzhou, you can stay in the Xianggong Mansion and wait for them to send the ship back, so we will compensate you for the delay." We pay the daily pay for the time we wait, and we will never lose it. ”

The two hurriedly smiled, nodded and replied: "Thank you for the reward, but I don't wait, the people say that the Taiwei is a good person, a first-class good official, not only did not take a copper plate from the people, but also recovered the property that should be robbed by the Bureau for them. ”

Leaning slightly, the two chasing Oirans had already finished washing up and went up to the deck to meet Zhao Xing. The atmosphere of hostility between these four women is still strong, but on the surface it is more affectionate, Zhao Xing teased the Oiran who caught up with them in their mutual greetings: "When I saw your dress, I still felt simple, but if I looked closely, it was clearly an 'expensive simplicity' - the calico worn by the two of them was produced by my family's printing and dyeing factory, the shoes on the feet were made by Su, and the wooden hairpin on the head was dragon's blood, which was produced by my family and Sheng Xuan...... It's not a bargain. ”

Yizhang Qing and Autumn were stunned after hearing this, and immediately showed a proud look. The Oiran of Kuaiyi Lou shook the clothes on his body, and said, "That is, this kind of calico is more expensive than fine silk now, I really can't imagine why they are sold so expensive?" The price of this wooden hairpin is more than gold, and it scares people to death......"

These words caused the women to respond, and even Yizhang Qing and Qiu Ri joined in, accusing the Zhao Xing family of having expensive things that were unbearable. In this regard, Zhao Xing responded with a light smile: "Innovation, the original intention is to obtain high returns...... By the way, you just said that the palace maid of Yanfu Palace went south, what is going on? ”
