Siniang returned to the temple fair and found Xiao Huan'er, who was waiting for her obediently in the most conspicuous place with the most people at the temple fair, and then took the little girl who was a little frightened back to the inn with satisfaction. Comforting the little girl to go, this time Huan'er was so frightened that the little girl hated going to the street when she arrived in the capital in the future, which is a later story.

In fact, Xie Siniang was not sure whether it would be good to take Huan'er to the capital at first, a little girl who didn't know anything was sent back to the Ye family even if she was bullied, at least there would be no big danger, but she and Ye Sheng were obviously from the past life to the present, one was a mercenary who fought bloodily in the jungle of North Africa, and the other was a professor who acted recklessly and dared in the academic field. Although they have traveled to such a conservative dynasty, neither of them is a person who likes to live in peace.

Before leaving, Xie Siniang also told Huan'er about this, and even mentioned that he could be sent to the Ye family to be with Shen Qingjun and Miss Shen, but Huan'er refused anything. Among them, there is also a little bit of sensitivity to survival as a maid. reminded her that she must not return to the Ye family first.

So Xie Siniang had no choice but to teach her some ways to save her life, such as not thinking about how to save her or help in this situation tonight. No matter how hard it takes to save her, it's just a matter of getting into it more, and it's important to run to a safe place where there are many people as soon as possible. Fortunately, although Huan'er is small, she is very obedient, which makes Xie Siniang feel a little more at ease.

Back at the inn, Ye Sheng had also just come back, and the two of them looked at each other and saw a feeling similar to the dissipation of depression in each other's eyes.

The group stayed in Yanshi for another two days before starting again, and they didn't see the brother and sister again for two days. Neither Ye Sheng nor Xie Siniang asked anything more, two days later, Lao Yuan drove the carriage with Huan'er and their salute from the land to the direction of Bianliang in the capital, while Ye Sheng took Xie Siniang and Yang Zhi from the dock outside Xijiang City to get on the boat and prepare to go all the way down the river.

The canal wharf is full of people, and dozens of boats, large and small, are moored on the lake outside the wharf. This is the largest wharf in the entire Yanshi, and its bustling and prosperous scenery is naturally not comparable to other places. Following Ye Sheng onto a passenger boat parked by the river, Xie Siniang asked with some surprise, "We are the only ones on this boat?" ”

This boat is not big compared to other boats on the riverside, but it is very clean and chic. The side of the ship is depicted with a delicate rolling thunder dragon pattern, and there are several boatman-like men on the deck who are busy preparing, but they are also very clean and neatly dressed, completely different from those who have been begging for a living on the river all year round.

"Young Master Ye, Mrs. Ye." A middle-aged man who looked like a steward walked over and said with a smile: "If you need anything, just ask." Gongzi ordered to send two to Kaifeng Mansion, if there is a poor waiting, Gongzi will not let go of his subordinates. ”

Lu Siniang raised her eyebrows slightly and looked sideways at Ye Sheng: It's only been two days, where did you hook up with a stupid guy with a lot of money?

Ye Sheng ignored her at all, nodded lightly and said, "There is Lao Xue in charge." He turned his head sideways and introduced to Lu Siniang: "This is the manager of the Luoyang Branch of the Caoyun Gang, Wei Warring States."

"Mr. Wei." Lu Siniang nodded with a smile and greeted.

Rao is Wei Zhan Guo has seen a lot of the world, and he was dazzled by such a bright face, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "My old Wei is a rough person, Mrs. Lu just calls me Lao Wei." ”

Lu Siniang smiled faintly and did not speak.

The boatman came up and said, "Steward, it's time to sail." ”

Wei Zhan Guo nodded and smiled at the two: "Please rest in the cabin first, let's leave." ”

"There is labor."

Entering the cabin, Yang Zhi stayed outside to guard the door. Lu Siniang leisurely looked at the cabin in front of her, which had obviously been decorated, and asked, "What the hell is this Caoyun Gang?" ”

Ye Sheng sat down and said, "The Caoyun Gang is not a ghost, it is one of the top three commercial organizations in the Great Song Dynasty, and all kinds of big rivers are their sphere of influence. ”

Lu Siniang touched her chin and thought for a moment, isn't that probably similar to the existence of the Qing Dynasty Red Flower Society in the previous life? Maybe a little bigger?

"The people of the Caoyun Gang are so generous?" Lu Siniang was a little unconvinced.

Ye Sheng raised his eyes to look at her and gave her a sneer, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

"Then how did you fool people?" Lu Siniang was even more curious, she would not be a fool to be the head of any branch, how did Young Master Ye make that son willing to greet Ye Sheng, a scholar who obviously had no net worth background, so warmly? And looking at the attitude of the Warring States, it is no longer compatible with enthusiasm, it can be called courtesy.

Ye Sheng said: "I promised to help him get rid of the control of the reign of the dynasty." ”

"Poof!" The best green tea sprayed all over the ground, and Lu Siniang coughed again and again, and did not forget to raise her hand and give Ye Sheng a thumbs up.

Ye Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her without speaking, Lu Siniang put the teacup back on the table and pushed it far away, before saying, "It's really amazing, my master, Uncle Ye, Professor Ye... Do you remember that you were a weak chicken scholar who was helpless? , no, did you make a pistol or other weapon in private? Ye Sheng gave the woman a big roll of his eyes and said, "Guns and ammunition should be so easy to make, I have already done self-defense, and I can wait until today." ”

Do you remember that we just offended the Cao family's daughter-in-law and the Zhao family's son-in-law? Do you remember that there is still a group of people in the Shen family who regard you as a thorn in their side? So when you arrive in the capital, don't expect the Ye family in the capital to be in the officialdom, and because Fan Zhongyan will be reproached by the officials. And now, you're going to provoke that Caoyun gang again? ”

Lu Siniang has always felt that she was a freewheeling person in her previous life, except for when she was on a mission, but now she knows that compared to Young Master Ye, she is simply as if she was cut from the books of women's rules and women's rings. This is what people call doing what they want, doing whatever they want, and this is what people call being willful.

"I don't have a bad memory." Ye Sheng said.

"So?" Lu Siniang raised her eyebrows, your memory is not bad, it must be that you have a brain disease. Could it be that you are the one who was prepared to cross before the crossing, and your old man is the hero of the YY upgrade stream? Am I ready to be cannon fodder? Of course, you and I have always crossed over. So... Who is the pig's foot? That's a problem.

Maybe it was because the boat was boring, Ye Sheng was rarely interested in explaining in detail.

Leaning on the chair and calmly looking at the woman sitting in front of him, the woman lying on the chair at will, Ye Sheng spoke: "I was blocked by the people of the Caoyun Gang last night, and if you don't promise him, you won't be able to see me now." It was the hand of the eldest lady of the Cao family. ”

"Huh? It turns out that those two guys will still buy murder? Lu Siniang raised her eyebrows, "So I told you a long time ago, don't hang around outside if you can't do it." This world is dangerous, boy. ”

Ye Sheng glanced at him lightly and said, "It has nothing to do with skills, it has to do with power." I don't have anyone in my hands, that's why this kind of thing happens. ”

Lu Siniang held her chin and nodded, okay, in the previous life, some people believed in skills and some people believed in brains. She is the former, and Ye Sheng is obviously the latter.

"So, you were forced?" Lu Siniang raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Sheng, and almost wrote two big words of disbelief on her face.

Ye Sheng shook his head slightly, "By chance, take advantage of the situation." ”

"I knew it." Lu Siniang looked at the top of the cabin and rolled her eyes.

Pulled a chair and sat down in front of Ye Sheng, pillowed his shoulder and said with a smile: "Come, let's talk about it, do you have a grudge against that Caoyun gang?" ”

Ye Sheng shook his head, "No." ”

Not all people in this world are antagonistic to each other because of hatred. If so, many things are much simpler. Lu Siniang was surprised, "So, this time you really want to go to someone for trouble?" ”

Ye Sheng looked at her calmly, and only then did he say softly, "There are no permanent friends in the world. ”

"...... "So there are no eternal enemies either?" Do you mean that if you're in a good mood, you can also help the Caoyun gang for free? Your canal ticket number and others are natural enemies, aren't you afraid? Do you remember when you're on someone's boat?

Traveling by boat is actually quite a boring thing, although there are places on both sides of the strait that have good scenery, although it feels more stable and comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage. But after staying on the boat for a long time, they were very bored, because they did not stop like the carriage that could stop if they wanted to, and they had enough supplies to make sure that they did not need to dock along the way, so the boat kept sailing on the river.

"Haha! Yang Zhi, your young master is fine, you are so big and seasick?! On the deck, Lu Siniang looked at Yang Zhi who was squatting on the bow of the boat with a languishing face, and couldn't help laughing.

Yang Zhi raised his head and looked aggrievedly at the woman in front of him who was smiling forward and backwards. Seasickness is not something he wants, he grew up in Shaanxi since he was a child, and he has never been far away except for coming to Luoyang. And the last time he came to Luoyang, he also took the land route, who knew that he would get seasick.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Lu Siniang was a little embarrassed to laugh at him anymore. Looking sideways at Wei Zhanguo, who was standing on the side of the boat on the other side, he asked, "Steward Wei, you have been on the river for many years, what can you do?" ”

Wei Zhan Guo naturally saw a lot of seasick people, so he smiled strangely: "The boatmen do have some earthwork, and they have already let people boil medicine, Brother Yang and so on." ”

Yang Zhi said thank you listlessly, and continued to lie on the bow of the boat with his churning stomach and pretended to be dead.

Seeing him like this, Lu Siniang didn't bother to laugh at him anymore, and turned around and walked towards Ye Sheng, who was sitting on the bed reading a book. Don't look at Lu Si Shaosheng's weakness, sitting on the deck flipping through the book, but his body is not moving at all. Even the ups and downs that the boat must have had no effect on him.

deliberately walked behind Ye Sheng with a light step, and Ye Sheng, who had not yet moved and lowered his head, asked lightly, "Something?" ”

"Boring!" Lu Siniang said boringly.

"Madame seems to be bored all the time." Ye Sheng raised his head and said.

Lu Siniang shrugged, "Because it's really boring." "What a sad era this is, Lu Siniang feels that she is actually quite a lazy person, and she usually doesn't like to toss, and when she was on vacation in her previous life, she slept and slept more than buying. But in this ghost place, I feel uncomfortable when I don't be a demon for three days.

Ye Sheng nodded to indicate that he understood, and then continued to look down at the book.
