When you come to the seaside wharf, there are few people in the desert, this is not the cargo wharf of Songjiang, only passenger ships carrying people will set sail from here.

Zhu Yousong jumped out of the carriage and spread his arms, Yue Yingying smiled and jumped into his arms. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette that suppressed human nature had developed to the peak of perfection, that is, these two people dared to do such an outrageous thing. The accompanying guards lowered their heads and pretended not to see it, Zhu Yousong didn't notice anything wrong, and said softly: "Look, this is the sea, how beautiful is it?" ”

Yue Yingying has lived inland for a long time, she has never seen this endless ocean, her beautiful big eyes blinked, and said: "When I was a child, my father took me to Weishan Lake, I thought it was the largest lake, but I didn't expect the sea to be more than there." ”

Zhu Yousong smiled dumbly, took her to board the boat that Zou Yi had already prepared, and instructed his subordinates: "You take these horses here by land and wait for the priest from Luoyang, and take them to Zou Mansion in Quanzhou to find us." Several of the guards led the way with their fists clenched.

This passenger ship is not very big, after anchoring and setting sail, Yue Yingying, who was standing at the bow of the ship, was chatting with Zhu Yousong about whether he had a ride or not, and suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Hey, look at that person, is he chasing us?" ”

Everyone looked at her fingers, and sure enough, there was a figure rushing towards here, waving the silk scarf in his hand as he ran.

Zhu Yousong said curiously: "We don't have any acquaintances in Jiangnan, Songjiang Mansion knows Xu Guangqi and Xu Erdou's ancestors and grandsons, they are now farming in Luoyang, who is this person?" ”

Zhang Yuanhua made a loud alarm bell, glared and said: "It's not a friend, Bacheng is an enemy, or a person with bad intentions, and he will be killed by a knife." ”

Zhu Yousong tilted his head, looked at him sideways, and said: "Yuanhua, you don't want to be bitten by a snake for ten years and be afraid of the well rope, the last time was purely an accident, and you are always so suspicious." I see that this person came alone, I don't think there is any malice, I might as well wait for her. ”

The boatman got the order, his movements slowed down, and when the figure was about to come in front of him, Yue Yingying relied on her eyesight and said, "I look like Sister Minmin." ”

"Who?"

"Fang Yimin, you forgot about her?"

After a while, when I ran to the front of me, everyone saw that it was really her. Miss Fang's sideburns were messy, her cheeks were red, and she panted with her waist: "Why don't you say goodbye, it's too unrighteous." ”

Zhu Yousong ordered someone to throw down a baffle, picked her up, and quipped: "Let's meet in Pingshui, and sending you a ride can be said to be benevolent and righteous. ”

Fang Yimin's short body and appearance are all good, and her background is high, and she is born with a rich and delicate temperament. Zhu Yousong's guards raised their heads and pricked up their ears when they heard this.

Fang Yimin's mind was pierced by him, and her pretty face turned red, but fortunately, she was already tired and couldn't see it. Zhu Yousong looked at her, became more determined, and said generously: "Fang Yimin, this son is not a stingy person, just open your mouth if you like anyone." ”

Fang Yimin looked at him hatefully, and said in his heart, I have taken a fancy to this in your arms, I don't know if you are willing to let go. Her mind was ashamed to be revealed, and she never wanted people to know, and said: "You don't talk nonsense here, I'm running away from marriage, do you understand about running away from marriage?" My uncle and my father are the same dog, embarrassed, if I am definitely betrayed by him here, it is better to go out with you for a while, and when I come back, my father will let go of this matter. ”

Zhu Yousong pouted and said: "How can anyone say this about his father and uncle, it's really unfilial, besides, we are not here to play in the mountains and rivers, we have big things to do, how can we bring you a drag oil bottle." I'll put you off the ship and fend for yourself. ”

Yue Yingying chuckled lightly and said, "Fuba, don't tease her, Min Min is so pitiful, let's take her with us." ”

Fang Yimin's heart was sweet, holding Yue Yingying's hand, Yue Yingying's waist was slender, her jade legs were slender, Fang Yimin was leaning on her shoulder, proudly sticking out the tip of her tongue, making a grimace. Zhu Yousong secretly hated in his heart, but he was helpless, and said: "For Yingying's sake, I'll take you this time." ”

When I arrived in Quanzhou, it was already the night of the second day, and the three carriages arranged by Zou Yi had been waiting here, carrying everyone to Zou Mansion. It's not far from the wharf, but it's deep and secluded, surrounded by small fishing villages, and at night, no one can afford a candle, and it's dark at a glance, and only a few thatched huts can be seen.

Zhu Yousong stroked his hands and sighed: "Good place, it's rare for you to find such a house." ”

Zou Yi said with a smile: "The master here was originally a businessman, and when he was in the Wanli Dynasty, he went to sea to be a thief, and later I heard that it was cleaned up by the Qi family's army. This house was taken over by the government, and no one dared to ask for it, for fear that he would have any sons and nephews who had not died for theft, and would come back to find trouble. In this way, it was cheaper for us, and we bought it for only a small amount of silver. ”

Zhu Yousong asked as he walked: "Are the people here so unbearable?" can afford to live in such a house, and even go to sea to be a thief. ”

"Gongzi doesn't know, this place is poor and bad, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and the nearby fishing villages are born, everyone is water-based, but they are peeled down layer by layer, and when they go to sea, they are lucky to meet pirates, and the gains are not enough for the government to claim, so they don't want the court. Often in groups of three or five, they go to sea to join the pirates they know well, and most of the pirates are fellow villagers, but they do not refuse to come. The rest of them, except for those who have old wives at home and refuse to go to sea, are those who are good by nature and do not want to be thieves. ”

Zhu Yousong nodded and said: "It's such a chaotic place that we have a chance, and you did a good job." What about the eldest cousin, why isn't he in the house? ”

"The eldest brother is in the city, and he is mainly responsible for trading silk, tea and the like with the wealthy merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I have always been taking care of this place alone."

It is rare for Zou Mansion to be so lively, and in the hall, the little maids hired from nearby are like butterflies wearing flowers, and stacks of exquisite side dishes are broken. Different from Luoyang, there are some seafood snacks here, and everyone is here for the first time, but they also eat with relish. Zhu Yousong waved his hand and said, "These guards escorted all the way, let's sit down and eat together, we don't have so many rules here." ”

Fang Yimin had silver teeth, gently biting a shrimp, and looked at Zhu Yousong, who was crooked with Yue Yingying, with angry eyebrows, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

After a full meal and a full meal, the maid who stood aside led everyone back to the room to rest. Zhu Yousong led Yue Yingying to the room, and found that the water had been heated, and two bright-eyed little maids stood aside with bath towels in their hands. Zhu Yousong laughed evilly and said, "You guys go out." ”
