Chapter 0218: Returning to the hometown to worship the ancestors

When he went home in the afternoon, Zhang Yue asked Steward Meng and Zhang Tent to explain, and asked them to find craftsmen to repair the new house, and one of the two was responsible for taking care of the affairs, and the other was responsible for supervising the work and managing the accounts.

Just after dealing with these, Yang Shouzhen came to ask for a meeting, saying that he had bought a house on Xingxingzi Street, and was going to take his wife back to his hometown in Hebei tomorrow, and rush to worship his ancestors during the Midyear Festival, and go directly south to Yuezhou after the festival.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yue suddenly remembered that he was about to get married, and he didn't have any relatives around him, and the second brother was still following Xuan Chongwen in Huizhou, so he could return with the Bian family caravan. And my dad ran back to Hebei last year, and he never came to Tokyo again, so he happened to go back to Hebei to worship his ancestors together, and took him over by the way.

"It's just right for the general to go back too, if there are so many people, we can hire a boat in Tokyo and go north to Xindu by the Yellow River, which will save a lot of trouble!" Yang Shouzhen was overjoyed when he heard this.

"That's good! That's it, you bring your lady over early tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry about hiring a boat, I'll go to Bianlou later. Zhang Yue decided to send Yang Shouzhen out, and by the way, he called the porter to bring the horses, and stepped on the horse to go to the Junyi Bridge.

The building is still deserted, but the front hall shopkeeper led the way to the middle courtyard, and it was lively inside, with a team of men carrying bags and carrying goods, and they were busy in and out. Zhang Yue was a little surprised to see this situation, and walked to the side door of the middle courtyard to see that the courtyard wall was facing the Bianhe River, and the goods were unloaded from the boat.

"General Zhang! The proprietor is in the back house, not on the ship! When the shopkeeper saw that he had not followed, he turned and shouted.

Zhang Yue smiled, turned around and walked back, and followed the shopkeeper to the middle hall, which was empty. The shopkeeper told him to sit and wait, and retired on his own. Zhang Yue doesn't have much time, and he has to prepare his luggage when he goes back, but he doesn't have the time to sit here. Seeing that the shopkeeper was leaving, he got up and went to the back door of the main hall to look inside, but there was no one in sight, so he simply went into the back house to look for it.

The courtyard was quiet, the doors were closed on both sides, and the back hall was a two-story building, Zhang Yue broke into the back hall directly, but there was still no one, and no one answered after shouting twice, but he suddenly heard a woman's laughter from upstairs.

Zhang Yue hesitated, thinking that it might be Bian Yu upstairs, so he went out of the main hall, went to the stairs at the end of the corridor, leaned on the railing to go up, there was no one in the corridor, and when he arrived in the middle hall, the main door was not closed, and he immediately saw a ******** scene on the table in the hall, and he almost dropped his jaw, and quickly ran back to the middle hall to sit and wait.

Half an hour later, Bian Ji was dressed in a cyan robe, with a leather belt around his waist, and came out with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Zhang Yue sipping tea for a long time, he couldn't help but snort, sat down lazily and said with a smile: "Hehe...... Don't be serious, this time the concubine in Huainan Xinna is still beautiful, right? ”

"Poof......" Zhang Yue almost choked his throat, squirted a mouthful of tea, and said with a strange smile: "You don't even close the door during the day, pay attention to the impact!" ”

"Cut! She couldn't hear it from so far away! Bian Ji smiled indifferently, turned his head and asked, "Let's get down to business!" Now that I'm back in Beijing, what are you going to do in your spare time? ”

"Haven't thought about it yet! I plan to go back to Hebei tomorrow, if you have a boat, arrange it for me, and bring more than 100 people with you. Zhang Yue thought about it and said with some reservations that his own financial resources were not strong enough, and it was a bit too early to talk about the merger of the commercial bank's industry.

"No problem! I also have a batch of goods to send to Cangzhou, let the girl go, so as not to get in the way at home, with your help to hold the goods, it is much safer! Bian Ji laughed heartlessly and said.

After the matter was discussed, Zhang Yue went home and told Yang Junping and Cheng Yachan, asked them to prepare clothes and luggage, and waited for Yang Shouzhen to come over with his wife the next morning, Zhang Yue called Du Ximi to lead fifty personal soldiers to accompany him, and took a carriage to Bianlou, Bian Yu heard about it and greeted them, and took them outside the courtyard wall to go around to the Bianhe River.

Fifteen cargo ships were parked under the riverside trestle, Bian Ji counted the goods on the boat and went up to the trestle back to the shore, beckoned Zhang Yue to follow, the two walked away from the distance, Bian Ji said: "Take Xingyang into the Yellow River to the north, to the section of Ping'en and Qinghe in Beizhou, you have to be careful, there is nothing wrong with other waterways." ”

"Why? Aren't those two places under the jurisdiction of An **** and Tianxiong Army? Is there a water robber haunting? Zhang Yue asked in surprise.

"It's good to know! You are also an old soldier, as long as you calculate the accommodation, be vigilant at night, and moored at the pier ferry is generally fine. Bian Ji reminded.

"Okay! Then I'm leaving! Zhang Yue said goodbye, turned around and instructed the soldiers to get on the boat first, and waited at the head of the trestle for a while, Bian Yu changed into a big red arrow shirt with narrow sleeves, and a short sword hanging on his waist. The maid behind her was dressed in green clothes, carrying a long sword and a package, like a pair of traveling heroines.

"What are you laughing at?" Bian Yu saw Zhang Yue staring at him, and he was a little mistaken, so he pursed his lips embarrassedly and smiled: "There's nothing wrong with it...... Doesn't I look good in this? ”

"Nope! It's so beautiful! Zhang Yue took her hand and got on the trestle, the two seesaws in front of the big boat were very narrow and thin, just now a personal soldier fell into the water, Zhang Yue avoided letting them go first.

Bian Yu chuckled lightly, walked leisurely, his red boots swayed up and down the seesaw, but his steps were very steady, and he got on the boat quickly. The handmaid too, a few steps away.

Zhang Yue was big, as soon as he went up to the seesaw, he looked at the upturned parts at both ends, and saw that the board could still bear it, and got on the boat calmly, Bian Yu laughed in surprise, took his arm and asked: "Haven't you ever been on a boat, you are so indifferent to the seesaw." ”

"How...... Do you want to see me make a fool of myself? Zhang Yue walked into the cabin with his arms around Bian Yu's little waist, and the little maid frowned at the back, greatly surprised.

"Where? It's not as bad as you......" Bian Yu pursed his lips, but he didn't resist, and followed Zhang Yue into the cabin.

This big ship is a two-deck passenger ship converted from a cargo ship of 600 materials, which is the car of Zhang Yue and Yang Shouzhen, and there are 50 personal soldiers who can live in the aft cabin, and 50 sailors. Behind them were fourteen cargo ships, accompanied by two hundred people escorted by Gao Chengwang, Bian Ji's subordinate steward.

The number of people is all up, the sailors are in place, the sail ropes are ready, Gao Chengwang rushed over, asked Zhang Yue outside the cabin whether to set off, Zhang Yue agreed, and he went to wave the red flag to give the order.

It is early in the morning, there are a lot of small cargo ships on the Bianhe River, the waterway is not very smooth, the fleet goes slowly, from the Bianhe water gate out of the inner city, after crossing the Jinliang Bridge for a section, it goes out of the west water gate of the outer city, there are a lot fewer boats on the river, the water surface is wide after entering the canal, and the east wind is rising.

Zhang Yue and Bian Yu watched the scenery on both sides of the strait on the bow deck, and then ordered to pull up the sails, and the speed was fast, and they entered Zhengzhou at noon that day, and did not stop all the way, and arrived at the north wharf of Xingze City in the evening. In addition to sending people ashore to buy food and drink, Zhang Yue forbade soldiers and sailors to disembark and lead by example. (To be continued.) )
