"Look, what's that?"

Anne pointed to the strings of dhows by the river, and suddenly shouted in surprise as she pointed to the riverbank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For her, she is accustomed to seeing the vast sea, and she feels very new to the narrow waterways in the rivers and the clear fiber cables. The strings of dhows, led by the portrays, wriggled and moved along the canals by the river, like children's plays; The group of stiff bodies, a majestic "slender song", but it made people feel infinitely heavy, she had never seen a boat pulled by people, if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe it.

In the sea, people are so small. But in the small river by the river, the greatness of manpower is everywhere.

"It's just a slender man!"

Lazily looking towards the canal by the river, Linus said in a calm tone.

"There's no need for them to continue using the canal, they just need to expand the dock and build a railway to the city......

Despite being an army officer, Linus was also an engineer, so it was natural to see at a glance that the river on the banks of the river was an artificially excavated canal, and that the reason for the excavation of the canal was apparently to bring the port closer to the city.

"If you want to use it, you can buy a steam tugboat, there is no need to use a slender man at all, these Chinese......"

After taking a sip of wine, he did not continue, he had served as a military adviser in Ottoman Turkey, naturally he was very aware of the conservative of the East, but in comparison, these Chinese seemed to be more conservative than the Turks - until now, the Chinese army actually used cold weapons!

You know, more than ten years ago, they were beaten by the British. As a result, they do not seem to react, they are still intoxicated with their dreams, which are even inferior to the Turks, at least the Turks know how to carry out military changes after being "beaten".

And those slender men who shout the trumpet, to some extent, the existence of these slender men is a symbol of the ignorance and conservatism of the Chinese!

"There are even cannons!"

Strings of salt boats were dragged by slender men to the Xinhe wharf near the city, Chen Fangnan, who was standing in the bow of the boat, looked at the wharf a little nervously, not far from the wharf, you could see a stone fort, and a dark and shiny iron cannon could be seen faintly on the fort.

The discovery of the cannon only made Chen Fangnan's heart chill, and he became more and more nervous about the upcoming transaction.

"Avalokiteshvara blesses, bless the disciple with all the best......"

When he prayed to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, he looked at the Xinhe wharf that was getting closer and closer, and his heart became a small handful, and then when he looked at the soldiers who occasionally passed by in a procession, his heart became even more nervous, and even the sweat came out, which would make him regret that he had taken this errand, in case, if these thieves killed people and took goods...... That's all in it.

No, no, these thieves definitely need salt, it must be so, besides, isn't the young master's letter clearly written......

Those thieves need salt!

Did the salt ship from Shaanxi come over?

Almost every day for Zhao Ziyu, the first thing she cares about is the price of salt in Wuchang City, when she sees the price of salt falling by more than ten yuan, her heart is entangled into a small handful, is it not that person dredged the salt road of the Yangtze River again, Zhao Ziyu, who was born in a businessman, knows very well that all those people in the government are black-eyed and can't see the lord of silver, as long as they are willing to spend silver, they will naturally turn a blind eye to the salt boat.

Again, Zhao Ziyu closed her eyes and savored the yellow and white salt from the market, compared to the bitter and muddy Huai salt that is often eaten in Hubei, these yellow salts are not even saltier, that is, they do not contain any sand, and they have already explained the origin of salt.

Sichuan salt!

"It must be Chuanyan!"

Zhao Ziyu, who has a salt well in the artesian well, is no stranger to the salt of the artesian well, but after tasting it slightly, her mind sank.

If that person has opened up the salt road from Sichuan to Hubei now, then how can he value the salt road in Shaanxi, if they don't value it, what if even the salt belt people are robbed at that time?

She is not worried about the other party robbing salt, what she is most worried about is that the person grabbed the boat, since the Guangdong bandits eroded the place, from Hunan to Jiangning, all the boats and boats along the river have been seized by the Cantonese bandits, in contrast, now the boats and boats along the river are naturally extremely important, although this rebel army has always had a good reputation, and has never robbed other people's property, but if they want to see the wealth......

"It seems that I am a little too eager for quick success......"

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Ziyu secretly reflected on it, but also had a trace of luck.

"Now, I can only bet that his gaze is by no means comparable to that of ordinary thieves......"

Yes, now you can only bet on his vision!

Thinking of the experience that the man almost didn't strangle himself that day, Zhao Ziyu's heart was a burst of anger, she had never been angry with others since she was a child, and the trace of coquettishness in her heart immediately came to her heart.

"Hmph, your surname Zhu just wait and see, when the ship comes, let's count the new account and the old account together......"

Thinking of his own plan, Zhao Ziyu's heart was a burst of pride, not to mention pride, there was so much elation at all, thinking that the man wanted to kill himself in the front, and then "forced" himself to be a cow and a horse to serve him, and in addition to being secretly annoyed, he was even more worried about how to calculate this "new hatred and old hatred" one by one.

"Hmph, ...... then"

The corners of his lips raised slightly, and Zhao Ziyu walked towards the back house, and when he walked over, he only felt that his legs were a little fluttering...... In the back house, when the laughter dissipated, looking at the second lady who was smiling and smiling, suddenly Zhao Ziyu lowered her voice and whispered to Zhang Jieyu.

"When the time comes, sister, you will also leave here with me, leaving that wicked man......"

"What? Leave ......"

Zhang Jieyu looked at Zhao Ziyu in surprise, as soon as she mentioned leaving, she was a little upset, and she hurriedly stroked her lower abdomen, she hadn't been in red for two months.

"Sister, although the eldest lady is kind, what if you let the eldest lady know that you have a body?"

Looking at her sister's lower abdomen, Zhao Zi said seriously.

"At that time, what should you do, sister? Will the eldest lady still be as amiable as she is now? If the eldest lady can't tolerate you at that time, my sister and the child in her belly will be difficult to protect. ”

Zhao Ziyu's words only made Zhang Jieyu panic in her heart, and she suddenly thought of the drama in the play.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Zhao Ziyu continued to persuade.

"As long as the caravan comes down the river, my sister and I will hide in the boat, and when the person finds out that you are gone, we are afraid that we will have already left the boundary of Wuchang, and when we arrive at the hometown of Weinan, my sister will live in the Zhao family, and then my sister will only have to give birth to children ......with peace of mind."

When she spoke, Zhao Ziyu's smart eyes flashed a hint of pride, this is her means of revenge, but how can she repay the hatred of being a servant and a servant for several months after leaving Wuchang, thinking about it, and finally she hit the abacus on Zhang Jieyu's body, including the child in her belly.

For outsiders, she Zhao Ziyu is Zhao Ziyu, the only son of the Zhao family's sixth room, who is over eighteen years old, and even forced to book a family affair - the young lady of the Li family in the eighth woman's well, but he is a "Xibei goods", and he is also a woman. But this matter must not be known to others, if it is known by others, the family business of several generations of the Zhao family's six rooms will definitely be lost.

So, she needs a daughter-in-law and even a child!

And Zhang Jieyu and the child in her belly are the best choice, after she returns to Weinan without support, her identity will no longer be her sister who married Jin Lan, but Zhao Ziyu's daughter-in-law who is in trouble, and the child in her womb is naturally the child of the Zhao family's sixth room.

Of course, in her opinion, she did this to save her sister-like second lady from fire and water, after all, the "wicked man" is a thief! How can my sister end well with him.

As long as she leaves Wuchang with her and arrives in Shaanxi, how can she be as frightened as she is now, and then she will be the lady of the main house that "he" Zhao Ziyu is marrying, as for Miss Li...... Well, the marriage can naturally be withdrawn.

This kind of method of the best of both worlds, I'm afraid only she, Zhao Ziyu, can think of it.

Looking at her sister's hesitation, Zhao Ziyu hurriedly persuaded again.

"Sister......

"Yes, yes, ......"

Just when Zhang Jieyu was flustered because of Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhao Ziyu hurriedly grabbed her hand and comforted her.

"Sister, do you believe me?"

"Ziyu, my sister naturally believes in you, but ......"

"Sister, you don't have to think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly, after all, he is just a thief! In case in the future...... It's okay for my sister to leave a trace of blood and bones for him, isn't it? ”

Pressing her hand on her lower abdomen, although she didn't want to admit it, Zhang Jieyu knew that Zhao Ziyu's words were very reasonable, in case he was defeated in the future, when the time came, don't say that it is his own life, it is the life of the child in this womb, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect it in the end, what should I do when the time comes?

Call......

When she walked out of the second lady's room, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but take a long breath, and finally made her clear, as long as she left with her, she stayed until she left Wuchang, no, after entering Shaanxi, she would repair another book and humiliate him well, and naturally it was "Zhao Ziyu" who humiliated him at that time.

At that time, no matter what you are the so-called "Governor of the Han Righteous Army", or a thief, you will wear that green turban...... I was so proud in my heart, and when the whole person was floating, there was suddenly good news over there - the salt ship from Shaanxi was coming!

"The salt ship is coming!"

Looking at the salt boat on the Xinhe wharf from a distance, when he got closer, listening to the thick hometown accent with a Shaanxi accent, Zhao Ziyu not only did not have the slightest excitement about going home, but secretly begged.

"Hmph, your surname is Zhu, and you also have today!" (To be continued.) )
