This goes to Shezhou, several days in a row are sunny and good weather, Xinzhou Houfu convoy every morning and overnight, a day to catch more than 100 miles away, in the afternoon of April 17 to the north bank of Qingyi water, after the Qingyi water is the boundary of Shezhou.
Qingyi water was called "Qingshui" or "Jingshui" in ancient times, it is a big river in Anhui, the water surface is wide, the water potential is soup, there is no bridge on this section of the river, there is a waterway post station to provide a boat to cross the river, the water post has a five-zhang big boat, four small boats, all used at this time, but the Xinzhou Houfu convoy is many, and the boat is also going back and forth several times.
Zhou Xuan and the Lin sisters all got out of the car and stood on the riverbank to watch the water post boatman busy setting the pedals, letting the car get on board, and the horses wearing blindfolds and being led on the boat by the coachman to avoid the horses being frightened.
The water post ship carried six double-wheeled carriages across the river at a time, unloaded them on the opposite bank and returned to transport the remaining four carriages.
Zhou Xuandao: "It's really good, food and accommodation are free all the way, and you don't need money to cross the river, ordinary people don't have such treatment, right?" ”
Fairy Jingyi said: "The four people, scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, only the scholars do not have to pay for the ferry. ”
Judge Fan on the side said: "Master Hou, Tang used to pay for the ferry, why was it exempted later?" There is an allusion here, there is a Fujian man named Zhou Kuangwu in the Yuan and period, went to Chang'an to catch the exam, the family was poor and could not afford to buy cars and horses, all relied on two legs to walk, the wind and food slept in the open, its suffering can be known, when he arrived at the Qiantang River, because there was no money for the boat, the owner refused to take him across the river, and asked several boats to be like this, Zhou Kuangwu inscribed a poem in the pavilion and said, "Thousands of miles of vast moats, Qin Huang is uneasy about the bridge?" There is no money at the mouth of the Qiantang River. It also blocked the tide of Xiling's two letters. When the magistrate saw this poem, he severely reprimanded the little official in charge of the ferry, and sent Zhou Kuangwu across the river for free, and the poem was widely recited by boatmen in various places, and from then on the ferries did not dare to ask the scholars for money. ”
Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Being able to recite poetry is a lot of benefits, and you are not afraid to go all over the world." ”
Laifu said: "My uncle still earns silver by chanting poetry, and he won three thousand taels of poetry in Xuanzhou's 'Xie Guanlou'." ”
Lin Hanyun said: "Brother Zhou Xuan is a good gamble. Gambling wherever I go, I'm in a hurry these days. It's not much fun. ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said to Fairy Jingyi: "Sister Daoyun has worked hard to follow me in such a hurry, go to Shezhou to accompany my sister to have a good game for two days, tomorrow, April 18 is the new tea party in Shezhou, my sister must like it." ”
Fairy Jingyi smiled and said, "It's the first time that the female road has traveled so far by car, and I don't feel hard at all, huh." Shezhou new tea party is the largest tea party in the Tang Dynasty, the tea merchants of the Song Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, the Southern Han Dynasty, and Wu Yue gathered, and even the Xi Kingdom, Tubo, Dali will have tea merchants from afar, just five days of tea party, the tea trade will reach hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and every year there will be several kinds of new tea that was not famous before, enter the ranks of famous tea, and stand out in the famous tea of Shezhou Tea Party. Immediately, the price of tea doubled, and the tea party was very lively. ”
Lin Hanyun said happily: "That sister can show her skills." ”
Fairy Jingyi smiled: "I'm not a tea merchant and a tea farmer, what kind of skills do I have, just watch the excitement and buy some new tea." ”
Zhou Xuandao: "Sister Daoyun can pretend to be a tea merchant, don't I pretend to be a salt merchant in Xuanzhou!" ”
Fairy Jingyi smiled silently.
In about an hour, ten wagons, fifty soldiers and their mounts crossed the Qingyi River. The convoy continued to Shezhou, arriving at Jixi County, 30 miles away from Shezhou City, in the evening.
Zhou Xuan didn't want to be disturbed by the local officials, so he still went to the county town with the Lin sisters and others, and General Qi and fifty government soldiers stayed in the pavilion.
As soon as I entered Jixi County, the air seemed to be floating with the fragrance of tea.
Fairy Jingyi said: "Brother Xuan said that the summer breeze is like tea, which is really a wonderful saying. ”
Lin Hanyun said with a smile: "That Mingfeng can be renamed Xia Feng." ”
The pretty maid Mingfeng hurriedly said: "Don't, the summer breeze is too vulgar." ”
The two maids of Mingfeng and Jianyue are influenced by the Jingyi fairy, and they are also very elegant in their speech and demeanor.
Everyone found a hotel called "Xinming Inn" to stay, compared with the last time they stayed in "Yuelai Inn". There are two more Xiahou tassels and fish masters.
Xiahou tassel has been a man with a fox's tail in between them these days. wants to get close to Zhou Xuan, and there are too many people around Zhou Xuan. When she stayed overnight, she either played chess with the three idiots, or discussed tea with Fairy Jingyi, she couldn't get in at all, and she couldn't hear anything about Qingyuan Duhufu from everyone's conversation.
Xiahou Tassel thought to himself: "Since it is a secret decree, there must be very few people who know it, and it is estimated that only Zhou Xuan and his personal guard, known as Mr. San, know about these two people, but Mr. San's martial arts are unfathomable, and that third sister-in-law is also a very powerful character." ”
The day before yesterday, a carriage was stuck in a mud puddle, and the two horses driving couldn't struggle, so the three idiots walked over and pulled it on the wheel, and he easily pulled it up with a thousand pounds of goods.
That third sister-in-law, yesterday with a small pebble killed a mountain beaver jumping in the bushes on the side of the road, it was really terrible, and it was not something that her Xiahou tassel could deal with.
Xiahou Tassel knows her own situation, and she can only get close to Zhou Xuan by using her own female color, but she is a virgin, and she is also afraid of serving Zhou Xuan, she came to Xuanzhou from Quanzhou to be a famous ji, and she is a performer who does not sell her body, and now Lian Chang Gongzi asked her to follow Zhou Xuan to investigate the secret matter, Zhou Xuan is her master, the master wants to pamper her and ask her to sleep, can she refuse?
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't call her to sleep for a few days, Xiahou Tassel was both relieved and disappointed, and he was very confused about the future, the progress and turning point of things were not something she could control and influence, and Zhou Xuan's lukewarm attitude towards her made her a little resentful.
Xiahou Tassel is conceited and beautiful, and can be literate and martial, but Zhou Xuan is not very surprised by her, once mentioned a woman with a little feather, it seems that the look and rhythm of the little finch are above her, that is, the Lin sisters who are commensurate with Zhou Xuan's sisters and brothers and sisters, are also first-class beauties, it seems that Zhou Xuan is a lot of beauties, so he doesn't care much about Xiahou tassels, which makes Xiahou Tassels quite frustrated.
After dinner in the "Xinming Inn", they bathed and rested, Xiahou tassels and fish slept in one, Xiahou tassels where to sleep, seeing a round of the moon rising, the moon of the seventeenth night was still as round and white as a silver plate, so he took a jade flute and whined, it was really like a complaint, such as crying.
The little maid Yu'er also sat worried, not knowing where to go along the way? With a weak heart, he whispered: "Miss, it seems that it is not necessary for Gongzi Lianchang to let Miss elope with Gongzi Zhou, what kind of secret order Gongzi Zhou is serving, he will naturally know it when he arrives at Qingyuan, if it is fake, Gongzi Zhou will not go to Qingyuan at all, then we——"
There was footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the sound of Xiahou's tassel flute did not stop, and he stretched out his foot and gently kicked the fish's leg, and the fish immediately shut up.
Cumin knocked on the door and said, "Sister Tassel, my uncle invites you to speak." ”
Xiahou Tassel's heart jumped, put down the jade flute, and responded: "Just come." "I heard cumin's footsteps and walked back.
The little maid Yu'er said, "Miss, does Gongzi Zhou want you to sleep?" ”
Xiahou Tassel was uneasy in his heart and said, "I, what should I do?" ”
Although the little maid Yu'er is only thirteen years old, she has been in "Minglou Yu" for half a year, she is well-informed, and she doesn't think there is a big deal in the waiter's bed, so she persuaded: "Miss, this is a good opportunity, Zhou Gongzi is willing to get close to you and let you wait for you, you can take the opportunity to find out his secret decree and see, and then we will leave here." ”
Xiahou tassel glanced at her: "You said it lightly, hum!" "I got a haircut on my sideburns and went out to Zhou Xuan's room.
Zhou Xuan was drinking in the room, and cumin was yawning while pouring wine.
Seeing Xiahou Tassel coming in, Zhou Xuan asked Cumin to go back to the room to rest, and said to Xiahou Tassel: "Tassel, I heard you play the flute, and I know that you haven't slept, so I asked you to come over and have a drink with me and sit." ”
Xiahou Tassel blushed and said, "Tassel is really too strong to drink." ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you get drunk, tassel, sleep with me tonight, right?" ”
Zhou Hou Ye really came directly, Xiahou Tassel was flustered, and said: "Tassel is a little unwell today. ”
Zhou Xuan let out an "oh" and said, "Then you accompany me to drink two glasses, by the way, do you remember the words I filled in the last time I fought with you, and sang to me." ”
Xiahou Tassel saw that Zhou Xuan did not force her to sleep, and put her mind at ease, so she sang the two "Dream Order" and one "One Cut Plum" to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan poured himself a drink while listening, and praised: "Good words, when you float a lot!" After a few big whites, he gradually got drunk, stood up and staggered to the bed, stretched out his legs, fell on his back on the bed, and fell asleep.
Xiahou Tassel walked to the side of the bed, called "Hou Ye", took off Zhou Xuan's boots, and moved his legs to the bed to sleep properly, seeing Zhou Xuan's sleeping appearance, his heart was "pounding", to find the secret decree of the Tang Emperor, this is a great opportunity.
