The boat that Zhou Xuan took was eight zhang long, it was a new building ship with watertight compartments and nail joints in Fenghua Duhufu, which was sturdy and stable, even if it hit the reef and was hit hard, it was not easy to sink, hanging four sails, and it could sail against the wind, there were more than 30 sailors, divisions, and boats, and the boat was quite comfortable, similar to a small mansion, and there were stables, two horses, and the white-nosed mule of the four idiots was also brought on board.

Zhou Xuan looked at the two little wives who saw him off in the cold wind on the riverbank, and felt very reluctant, but now he can't bring them all to the capital, he must have a foothold first, at most half a year, at least four months, he should be able to break out of the world in the capital, and then take the finch and the needle to the capital, the needle is naturally running the "cloud dress women's clothing", as for the finch, I have to give her a job in the capital imperial medical department.

The sails are blowing, driving faster and faster, the send-off person on the shore is already unrecognizable, Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that Yang Xiao did not come to see him off, this taciturn young beauty really made him unpredictable!

The big ship goes down the river to the east, and can sail nearly two or three hundred miles in one day and one night, which is much faster than going to Jinling by land, but on the third day of the first lunar month, the fleet sails out more than 40 miles along the river and the wind, and just after the mouth of Poyang Lake, the leading big boat slowly moored at the riverside, and the boat shouted. The rest of the ships also stopped.

The big boat in which Judge Fan and the Lin sisters were riding put down a small sampan, and the two boats rowed towards the boat where Zhou Xuan was riding, and came to the bottom of the boat and shouted: "Zhou Gongzi - Zhou Gongzi - Master Fan, please go over and discuss important matters." ”

Zhou Xuan went down to the small sampan, rowed to the side of the big boat, and took the hanging basket to the big boat, Lin Heishan and Judge Fan greeted him, and Judge Fan said: "Gongzi Zhou, the lower official is not thoughtful. I didn't expect the eldest lady to get seasick. Originally, this kind of big ship was as stable as the ground. Generally, there will be no seasickness, the eldest lady usually comes and goes by carriage, and I didn't see her motion sickness, I didn't expect to be so dizzy as soon as I got on the boat, some boats said that fried ginger soup can cure seasickness, and the next official urgently ordered the cook to fry ginger soup to serve, but the eldest lady doesn't like to eat ginger. refuses to eat, Zhou Gongzi's wife is a goddess doctor, Zhou Gongzi is familiar with it, there must be another good way. ”

In fact, this Judge Fan knew that Miss Lin had a good eye for Zhou Xuanqing, and asked him to persuade Miss Lin to drink ginger soup, and this trip could not be delayed.

The big ship of the Metropolitan Protectorate is even more luxurious, more than 20 zhang long. Seven feet wide. The ship is arranged like a street and alley, divided into four houses, and the house where the two Lin sisters live is the most luxurious. Carved beams and painted buildings, red felt paved floors, servants come and go, just like the scene of the city.

The two pretty maids of the "Nine Difficulties Mountain House", Jianyue and Mingfeng, stepped forward, frowned and said, "Gongzi Zhou came to see, my fairy is suffering, and Gongzi wants to find a way." ”

The two pretty maids took Zhou Xuan straight into the boudoir, the boudoir was warm, faintly sweet, the Jingyi fairy was half sitting and half lying on a Hunan concubine couch, Lin Hanyun was rubbing her vest lightly, seeing Zhou Xuan coming in, she quickly sat up straight, and shouted: "Zhou Gongzi-" felt like vomiting again, and quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

Lin Hanyun pouted and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, you see that my sister is so uncomfortable, and she refuses to drink ginger soup, you can persuade her." ”

Zhou Xuan looked at the delicate appearance of Fairy Jingyi, and couldn't help but think of the needle that was pregnant, and his thoughts were a little evil: "Who made the fairy pregnant?" This playful thought flashed through him, and he knew in his heart that Fairy Jingyi must be seasick, and said: "Sister Daoyun, seasickness and drinking ginger soup is the most effective, if you don't drink it, it's very uncomfortable-"

When the boat stopped, Fairy Jingyi became more comfortable, and said, "I really can't drink it, Nudao hasn't eaten any ginger since she was a child, and she wants to vomit when she smells it." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Open the window to try it, breathe, and look at the scenery on the riverbank." ”

The maid pushed open the wooden window, and a cold wind poured in, and Lin Hanyun's neck shrank: "Wow, it's so cold!" "Hurry up and put on the mink fur, and the maid Mingfeng also hurriedly put on the fur for the Jingyi fairy.

Fairy Jingyi leaned against the window railing, looked at the snow on the riverbank, and said, "Well, this is more comfortable." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "But on this cold day, the old wind can't do it, the boat is not dizzy, but it is cold again." ”

Fairy Jingyi heard Zhou Xuan's tone as if she had a complaint, and her mood suddenly became very gloomy, and she said lightly: "That woman goes ashore and takes the car back to Jiangzhou, don't delay your trip." ”

Lin Hanyun shouted: "How can this work, my sister must accompany me to Xijing, I heard that Xijing is very fun, and there are all kinds of things to play." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "What Sister Daoyun said, isn't it a Lantern Festival chess battle, can't catch up with the chess battle, the younger brother doesn't participate, why do you have to go with your sister and go to Jinling together, but the younger brother has a way to cure seasickness without eating ginger, I saw it in my father-in-law's medical book, I don't know if my sister is willing to try?" ”

Fairy Jingyi was ashamed of the negative words just now, and hurriedly said: "That's great, the female Taoist is naturally willing to try." ”

Zhou Xuan asked the two maids to close the window and exit first, leaving only Lin Hanyun here, and then said, "This is."

Induction, massaging the two acupoints of 'dovetail' and 'Lidui' can cure motion sickness, and the sister of the dizzy sister presses these two acupoints to try it. I thought: "The ancients are too ambiguous, massage it, massage it, you have to call it hand induction, hehe, hand induction, buddy is easy to think crooked." ”

The ignorant Lin Hanyun said: "I don't know how to recognize the acupoint, Brother Zhou Xuan, you should come." ”

Fairy Jingyi hurriedly said: "Hanyun, you come." ”

Lin Hanyun saw that her sister was anxious, and suddenly opened her mind, and said with a smile: "Sister, Zhou Xuan is also your brother, he is now a doctor, and doctors don't need to be taboo for patients to treat diseases, it's not good to avoid medical treatment, sister." ”

Fairy Jingyi was shy and anxious, and said, "Look at you, my sister will beat you." ”

Lin Hanyun smiled: "Okay, I'll give my sister a hand guide - Brother Zhou Xuan said, where are the two acupuncture points?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Press the 'Li Hui Acupoint' first. Half an inch outside the base of the second toe, hold it with your thumb and forefinger, and repeat 10 times for about one breath at a time. ”

Lin Hanyun listened, and without saying anything, she took off her sister's embroidered shoes, and took off her white cloth socks-

Zhou Xuan moved the brazier closer, so as not to make the fairy Jingyi cold.

Fairy Jingyi's two snow-white slender feet were exposed under Zhou Xuan's nose, and she was too ashamed. But it's not good to let Zhou Xuan out. He's a doctor!

Lin Hanyun pinched her sister's toes. deliberately didn't pinch the right part, tilted his head and asked, "Is Brother Zhou Xuan here?" What, it's not! Is that here? It's not, why is this hand guide so difficult, let's Brother Zhou Xuan come and help my sister hand lead. ”

Fairy Jingyi hurriedly shrunk her feet and curled up her legs. Like a mermaid's posture, he said: "Don't work hard to do it, the female Tao will lead it herself." ”

Fairy Jingyi is no longer called "Zhou Gongzi", but changed her name to "Brother Xuan", which is subtle and psychological, and it is really difficult to ponder.

Zhou Xuan looked at Fairy Jingyi's beautiful feet, and had the urge to play, and said, "I can't lead it myself." This requires lying flat. Breathe slowly, let's let the little brother come. ”

Zhou Xuan took the lead and put his hands together. Accurately pinched the "Li Di Acupoint" of the second toe of Fairy Jingyi's left and right feet, and rubbed it gently, Fairy Jingyi only felt that the blood rushed to her brain, and her ears "buzzed", almost fainting, if it wasn't for the veil to cover it, you could see her face as bright as the morning glow.

Lin Hanyun praised: "Brother Zhou Xuan, you really have two sons, worthy of your father-in-law and wife are both famous doctors of the State Medical Department, as soon as your hand arrived, my sister's whole body trembled, it was very effective, isn't it sister?" ”

The women of the Tang Kingdom have not yet bound their feet, and they do not think that slender feet are more precious than chastity, nor do they have the deformed chastity of being touched by a man who will cut off her hands and commit suicide if she touches her feet, but in any case, the two toes were pinched by Zhou Xuan like this, and the sense of shame was also very strong, and there was an unprecedented stimulating feeling that spread from her toes to her whole body in an instant, making her tremble uncontrollably-

Zhou Xuan said with a serious face: "Sister Daoyun, relax your body, breathe calmly, breathe-relax-", the thumbs and index fingers of both hands pinched the slender bony toes and rubbed them one by one, and his eyes looked at the delicate and soft feet, feet.+[The pale cyan slender blood vessels looked so fresh and active, making Zhou Xuan really want to hold and kiss.

Far more than ten strokes, Fairy Jingyi's two toes were rubbed red and hot, where could she breathe calmly, her chest rose and fell violently, and she stretched out under the veil with one hand, as if she was covering her mouth.

Zhou Xuan finally stopped and said, "The Li Dui acupoint is almost massaged, I can't massage my sister this dove tail acupoint, my sister will massage it herself." ”

Lin Hanyun said: "Where is the dove tail hole? Brother Zhou Xuan, don't be lazy, you have a good hand, look at my sister, she looks very useful. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The dove tail point is just below the heart socket, a little below the bottom ribs, it is easy to find, this part of the little brother is not good for Sister Daoyun to massage, the sister comes by herself, while rubbing and adjusting the breath, to breathe long, this acupoint to treat motion sickness and seasickness is immediate." ”

Fairy Jingyi moaned as if she was sick: "Zhou Gong-Brother Xuan, can you go out for a while, the female Dao rubs it herself." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll come to visit my sister later." "Walking out of the boudoir of Fairy Jingyi, I went straight out of the small courtyard, I felt sorry in my heart, I don't know what Fairy Jingyi looks like when he rubs his chest, Xi Shi is heartbroken?

Judge Fan has been waiting outside the gate of the courtyard, he doesn't dare to enter without the two young ladies calling him, how can he raise his feet and enter like Zhou Xuan!

"Gongzi Zhou, how is the eldest lady?"

"It should be fine, I'll go in and have a look later, and I'll be ready to set sail again."

Judge Fan flattered: "Zhou Gongzi is really incompetent, any difficult matter can be solved in the hands of Zhou Gongzi!" By the way, Zhou Gongzi should move to this big boat, this side is still very spacious, isn't Zhou Gongzi just a maid and a servant, and the two third and fourth gentlemen, they can live there. ”

Lin Heishan also said: "Yes, Brother Xuan, move here, it's convenient for my brother to find you for a drink." ”

Zhou Xuan is a lively person, and he will not be lonely if he can travel with Brother Montenegro and the Lin sisters, otherwise, although the two ships are dozens of feet away, it is difficult to say a word, it is really "Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent"

Judge Fan immediately ordered Zhouzi to use a small sampan to transport Zhou Xuandi's servants over, while instructing the government servants to clean out five rooms, which were opposite the Lin sisters' land.

The maid Mingfeng came out and said, "Master Zhou." My fairy invites you in. ”

Zhou Xuan asked as he walked, "The fairy is better, isn't it?" ”

Mingfeng replied: "Yes".

As soon as Fairy Jingyi saw Zhou Xuan, she said, "Brother Xuan, let them drive the boat, the female Dao felt that her chest was not stuffy." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll go and tell Master Fan, let him order the boatman to collect the sails, don't sail too fast, Sister Daoyun will definitely be fine if she adapts to it for a while." ”

Laifu, Xiaoxiang, the three idiots, and the four idiots all arrived on the big ship, and the fleet set sail again. The speed of the voyage has been much slower than before.

Zhou Xuan has been staying in the Jingyi fairy room. Ready to rub Sister Daoyun's "Li Dui Acupoint" at any time.

It's really strange. The boat sailed out for more than ten miles, and Fairy Jingyi showed no signs of seasickness.

*****************************

Qin Que sent six family members to pursue Yang Xiaofeng, two of them asked a lot of boatmen at the riverside wharf, and they all said that they did not see a beautiful woman who hired a boat owner alone, and the other four family members chased thirty miles in the direction of Jinling, but there was no trace, and it seemed that Yang Xiaofeng disappeared as soon as he left the Zhou Mansion.

Night. The six family members came back with their tired bodies, and Qin Que and Needle saw that they didn't find any news of Yang Xiao, and they were very anxious.

Dr. Qin frowned and said: "What the virtuous son-in-law said when he left, if we have difficulties, we will go to Lord Du Hulin, and when we saw him off before, Lord Lin also said that if there is anything difficult, just go to him, Yang Xiaofeng is lost." If the Metropolitan Protectorate comes forward to send someone to search. Then you will definitely find it. ”

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and Qin Que said, "Early tomorrow morning, Que Er will go to see Uncle Lin with Sister Zhen'er." ”

The next day. Dr. Qin, Qin Que, and Needle went to Chaoyang Fang, and the government officials went in to report that it was the Spring Festival of the first month that was freezing on this day, and Lord Du Hu was still lying down and had not gotten up, and I heard that the two wives of Xuan's nephew asked to see him, but I didn't know what was going on, so I got up and hurried to see him.

After Qin Que and Needle Shi Li explained their intentions, Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It turned out that she lost a little prostitute, maybe she wanted to run away for a long time, and many people in the house went to the river to see her off yesterday, so she took advantage of the chaos to run away, where is she going to chase after Xuan's nephew." said: "Don't worry, my uncle immediately asked someone to inform Xu Tingshi, and asked him to send a quick arrester and a servant to track him down, and he must find out that sheep Xiaofeng!" In addition, I will repair another letter, send fast horses to chase after them by land, stop in front of Xuan's nephew's fleet, and tell Xuannephew about this, maybe the prostitute is really on the ship. ”

Xu Tingshi heard that the Zhou Mansion had lost a small prostitute, but he did not slack off, and sent a quick arrester and a messenger to the counties of Jiangzhou to investigate, but there was no news.

Qin Que said to the needle in private: "Sister needle, that sheep Xiaoqi is the land that her husband won from Hongzhou, will she secretly run back to Hongzhou?" ”

The needle nodded and said: "It is very likely that this sheep Xiaofeng is too ungrateful, and she is so grateful to her husband for treating her like this, and her husband will run away on her back feet when she walks on the front foot!" ”

********************************

Yang Xiaofeng held a small baggage, some broken silver and clothes in it, wore a hat, and a veil hung down to cover her beautiful face, and walked out of the workshop, she had already noticed that there were many carriages parked in front of the Suzaku Square to solicit guests, and found a coachman who looked kind, and without saying a word, she lifted the curtain and sat in the coachman's carriage.

The coachman felt strange and asked, "Where is the girl?" ”

Yang Xiaofeng said: "Pengze County." She knew that Pengze County was the only place to go to Jinling, and she wanted to get there first and wait for Gongzi's big ship to arrive by the river.

The coachman said: "Girl, Peng Ze has more than a hundred miles to travel, and the commission in this icy and snowy land in the first month has to be doubled, three taels of silver." ”

The carriage responded: "Okay! ”

The coachman was not at ease, afraid that when he got to Peng Ze, the girl had no money for him, so he asked, "Which old man's mansion is the girl from Suzaku Fang?" ”

The carriage responded: "Zhou Mansion." ”

The coachman said happily: "It turned out to be from the mansion of Zhou Qicha Gongzi, the villain will set off the horse and set off immediately." ”

The coachman is a sincere person, and he didn't have any bad intentions because Yang Xiaofeng was a lone woman, and he knew that it was Zhou Qicha Gongzi's mansion on the ground, and Zhou Qicha Gongzi was the nephew of the Duhu Adult, so he was very respectful to Yang Xiaofeng along the way, and drove more than 100 miles to Pengze County in the early afternoon.

Yang Xiaofeng let the coachman not have to go into the city, but went directly to the riverside wharf.

The coachman received three taels of silver at the riverside wharf and turned the carriage to prepare to go back to Jiangzhou, to see that it was late, and remembered that there was a distant cousin in Pengze County, who usually came and went less, this time since he arrived here, he bought some gifts for the right to come to the door for New Year's greetings, just when the cousin's eldest son married, he stayed and drank wine for three days, and when he returned to Jiangzhou, the official sent by Xu Tingshi had searched the whole city, and it was over without hearing the news, and no one asked whether the coachman had a lone woman to hire the car to go.
