Chapter 836: The same road to the south
Hu Qing'er took the master ashore, and after a while, two women in palace clothes walked down from the carriage, it was Emperor Ande Zhao Jinluo and Emperor Demao Zhao Fujin, the master said a few words to them, pointed to the big boat, and Zhao Jinluo took his sister to follow the two on the boat.
Hu Qing'er took Zhao Fujin to the side cabin to rest first, and Zhao Jinluo followed the master to the main cabin, at this time, Cao Yun greeted him, and said with a smile: "Cao Yun gave the sixth aunt a gift!" ”
Zhao Jinluo is Cao Sheng's wife, when she first arrived at Cao Mansion, it was Cao Yun who accompanied her for several days, and the relationship between the two was very good, she stepped forward and took Cao Yun's hand and smiled: "I'm afraid I will not only be your sixth aunt in the future, you still call me second sister!" ”
"What if Uncle Six is here?"
"Don't pay attention to him, we call us, it has nothing to do with him, besides, you are the daughter-in-law of the Li family, you can't always think about your mother's family, right?"
"Alright! The second sister came in and sat down. ”
Cao Yun invited Zhao Jinluo into the cabin and sat down, the master also sat aside, and a maid came in to serve tea, Cao Yun smiled slightly: "Second sister, I heard that there is a war in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't know what the situation is recently?" ”
"It should be over, I heard from the horse that the army has entered Qiantang County, Xiang family has fled overseas, the Zheng family and the Zhu family are under house arrest, and it doesn't hurt Yun Niang to go to Qiantang County now."
"Second sister, do you want to come with us?" Cao Yun smiled and invited Zhao Jinluo to go with him.
Zhao Jinluo just planned to hand over her sister to Cao Yun today, and then she went back to Jiangdu by herself, but now Cao Yun invited her to go to Qiantang County together, Zhao Jinluo was also tempted, she went to Jiangnan this time to go to Qiantang County to buy a house, but her husband was appointed as the general judge of Yangzhou, it was inconvenient for her to go south alone, but now she has a chance, Zhao Jinluo thought about it and smiled: "Of course I want to go to Hangzhou, or I will write a letter to the horse, and then we will go south together?" ”
Cao Yun nodded and told the maid to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Zhao Jinluo immediately wrote a letter to her husband and handed it to the maid to take back to the city.
The big ship turned around and set off along the canal towards the Yangtze River.......
"Yun Niang, my sister is actually a hard-working person, she was going to marry Cai Jing's son, but the man was bitten to death by a snake before she passed the door, she became a widow, and she has always liked Yanqing, this time she was almost sent to Jinying, and it was Yanqing who rescued her, she wanted to marry Yanqing, even if she was a concubine, she was willing, you just accept her!"
In the cabin, Zhao Jinluo finally found an opportunity to mention the marriage to Cao Yun.
Cao Yun shook his head and smiled: "You guys! First Qing'er persuaded me, and now you also come to persuade me, as if I am an unreasonable person, besides, the dignified emperor wants to marry, do I dare not agree? ”
"Isn't this to give you face? You are an eldest woman, if you don't nod, Fujin won't be able to enter the door of the Li family! ”
Zhao Jinluo was willing to curry favor with Cao Yun, and Cao Yun also understood in her heart that this little aunt was arrogant by nature and rarely had contact with the Cao family.
"Since the second sister has already said this, it is unrealistic for me not to agree, but there are a few words I want to make clear."
Zhao Jinluo was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yun Niang, please speak!" ”
Cao Yun pondered for a while and said slowly: "She is the emperor, she will be special to the outside world, and the canonization and etiquette are equivalent to the princess, I can understand this, and I don't care about it, but in the Li family, she is my sister, she must obey my arrangement, and she must not forget to be respectful and orderly, otherwise I have the right to divorce her." ”
Zhao Jinluo secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, Cao Yun is really a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she will not give in at all on the issue of principle, she nodded hurriedly, "I'll tell her." ”
Cao Yun said again: "If Fujin agrees, then I can take her tea, if she refuses to agree, then I will send her back to Yangzhou, I will explain to the king of the county, it is really not good, I Cao Yun Hufu will go back to her mother's house!" ”
Zhao Jinluo held Cao Yun's hand, "Yun Niang, don't say that, Fujin is a supple person, and he will never ignore the rules, even the official family has made it clear that Fujin is a flat wife, she won't be ignorant, don't worry, I'll make this guarantee!" ”
Cao Yun smiled, "Second sister, I just said it clearly and thoroughly, and everyone will get along well in the future, which is actually for her good, as long as everyone knows the etiquette, we will respect and love each other and get along well." ”
"I understand, I'm going to tell her."
Zhao Jinluo patted Cao Yun's hand, got up and left.
In the cabin next door, Zhao Fujin was chatting with Li Yanqing's two-year-old son Li Pu in his arms, and his daughter Ah Lian was also in his arms, and the two little guys were busy fiddling with the palace toys that Zhao Fujin gave them.
"I really can't imagine that there will be so many people from Tangyin County over there in Jiangxia, so wouldn't it be necessary to set up a new Nantang County?"
"It's really like this, since the second half of last year, a large number of Tangyin people have come in, and even their county has fled, Tangyin is only 300,000 people, and half of them have fled to Jiangxia, many of them are from the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that the hometown people live in Jiangxia, but everyone is playing Jiangxia to catch, there are already more than 100,000 people living there, and everyone says that Nantang County is going to be established."
"Then Senior Sister still wants to go back to Jiangxia?"
"I don't know about this, let's see how the officials arrange it!"
While chatting, Zhao Jinluo appeared at the door of the cabin and beckoned to Zhao Fujin, "Fourth sister, come over for a while." ”
Zhao Fujin handed Xiao Baolang to the nurse, smiled apologetically at the teacher, got up and walked out of the cabin.
"Second sister, what's the matter?"
"Don't ask, come with me!"
The two sisters walked to the other cabin and sat down, Zhao Jinluo asked with a smile: "Is the child you held just now Li Yanqing's son?" ”
"Yes, his name is Li Pu, his name is Baolang, and he is only two years old this year."
Zhao Fujin suddenly remembered something, and lowered his voice and said, "Second sister, do you know who the teacher who talked to me just now?" ”
"Who is it?"
"It's Master Li who disappeared back then."
Zhao Jinluo was taken aback, "Isn't Master Li dead?" ”
"It was just a fake death, she actually left with Yanqing and married Yanqing as a concubine, after I recognized her, she herself admitted that she was the former Master Li, but she didn't want to mention the past."
Zhao Jinluo waved his hand, "You and my sister know about this matter, and I can't even say it, it's never good to spread it." ”
"I know, I'm just talking to you, I won't mention it to anyone else."
Zhao Jinluo pondered for a moment and said: "I talked to Yun Niang just now, we are very frank, and we can be regarded as reaching a consensus, but there are a few words I want to explain to you." ”
Zhao Jinluo told her sister in detail about the conversation between her and Cao Yun, and finally said: "Yun Niang is a typical person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, if she doesn't touch her bottom line, it's easy to say anything, once she touches the bottom line, she will really turn her face, so I have to tell you again and again, when you enter the Li family, the first thing you have to do is to forget your identity as the emperor, only in this way can you get along with them happily, otherwise they will join forces to deal with you, and your life will be sad." ”
Zhao Fujin nodded lightly, "Second sister, don't worry, I understand in my heart!" ”
"Since you understand, then serve tea today, and I will hand you over."
Of course, the emperor has to go through some processes to get married, and handle it in a beautiful way, but these are just etiquette, the premise of all etiquette is that Cao Yun accepts Zhao Fujin's entry, and only when Cao Yun accepts Zhao Fujin's tea, the emperor can marry Li Yanqing, otherwise everything is empty talk.
When the passenger ship arrived in Runzhou, under the witness of a group of sisters, Cao Yun accepted Zhao Fujin's tea, which was regarded as acknowledging the entry of the new sisters.
After this pass, the next voyage is much easier, everyone has to talk and laugh, or tease the children to play, when they are about to arrive in Qiantang County, Zhao Fujin feels that he has become one with the new family, she sincerely loves this new family, gave her the ease and happiness she has never had, she no longer wants to live the boring and dull life in the palace.
Early in the morning, the passenger boat has passed the Huantang River, is slowly moving south along the east moat, Zhao Fujin got up early, stood alone in front of the window of the boat and looked at the Qiantang River in the distance, in the distance is a white river fog, making the Qiantang River as wide as a trumpet.
"It's been a great few days, right?" Zhao Jinluo slowly walked to his sister's side and said with a smile.
Zhao Fujin nodded, "I now know why the second sister always likes to go out to play, and she also wants to get rid of the depression in the palace!" ”
Zhao Jinluo sighed softly, "We were born in the emperor's family, which is not only our luck, but also our misfortune, luck is that we are pampered and will not worry about the hardships of life, but the misfortune is that we can't help ourselves, just like a bird living in a cage, we tasted the melancholy and depression of the palace prematurely, but we were lucky in the end, married the man we liked, fourth sister, today's luck is not easy to come by, you must cherish it!" ”
Zhao Fujin smiled slightly, "I have already agreed with Yun Niang, after arriving in Qiantang County, I will still live with them, and I will leave on the day of the wedding." ”
"Then what kind of troublesome rituals are there, just marry quietly and forget it."
"I want to too! The key is that the royal brother may not agree. ”
Zhao Jinluo suddenly smiled slyly, "I'll go and tell the imperial brother that now there are a lot of things to do to move the capital, and it costs money everywhere, so let the imperial brother be simpler, don't be so extravagant." ”
As the two were talking, the boat shook, only to hear the boatman shouting at the bow of the boat: "Docked!" ”
