Chapter 222: Senior Sister Arrives
Qin Lin got what he wanted from Liu's mansion, not gold and silver treasures, but letters exchanged between Liu Yiru and his colleagues.
In recent years, officials who were born on the right path in the imperial examination have formed an intricate network of relationships through the relationship between the same rank and fellow villagers in the same year, and there will naturally be a lot of interesting content in the letters exchanged between a senior member of the ministry at the level of Liu Yiru and his confidants, colleagues, and protΓ©gΓ©s.
Lu Yuanzhi, Han Feilian and the others didn't know what Qin Lin had discovered, anyway, in the next two days, this deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard had been in a good mood, humming songs from time to time, as if he was looking forward to something.
Above the river, the spring tide is surging, and the cold wind blowing from the north is still cold from the neckline, but it is no longer like the bone-chilling in the middle of winter, and the trees on the south bank of the Yangtze River have been carefully looked at the tender green sprouting from the branches.
Jia Fugui's white boat went down the river, and a girl with a temperament like an empty valley orchid stood at the bow of the boat, holding her cheeks with both hands, and her wrists exposed by the cuffs were as white as snow lotus, which made people feel excited.
However, all kinds of people on the boat who came and went didn't dare to look at this beautiful girl, what Poyang Gang and Chaohu Thirteen Taibao who were rampant and domineering across the Yangtze River, and quickly avoided it at a glance, better behaved than a domestic white rabbit.
There is no other reason, just because the bow of the white boat raised four lanterns with the rank of big official, one is written "Deputy Thousand Households in Brocade", one is "General Wu Liu", the third is "Military Merit Plus Level 3", and the fourth is "Special Purpose Riding Captain", in addition, there are several captains in brocade clothes who are not like good ones on the side of the gunwale, all wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives, fierce and evil.
Those gangs of rivers and lakes up and down the Yangtze River, which one dares to provoke the deputy thousand households of Jinyiwei?
Those gentlemen who passed by, seeing this majesty, also shrank their necks and stretched out their tongues: amazing, such fanfare, the power of this thousand households is extraordinary! Seeing that this ship is coming from the upstream direction, could it be that Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu is just a pretense, but it actually came out of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion?
Of course not, Zhang Zixuan is beautiful and fragrant, but her expression is a little witty and indifferent, her eyes are as deep as a mysterious starry sky, and her clothes are also luxurious and elegant, showing the powerful position of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion.
The girl at the bow of the boat is charming and moving, her expression is innocent, her clear eyes seem to go straight to the bottom of her heart, her joys, sorrows and sorrows are written on her face, and her clothes are Jingchai cloth skirts, which have a natural charm, it is none other than the granddaughter of Li Shizhen, the divine doctor of Qizhou, and Li Qingdai, the female doctor who has recently become famous in the Jinghu area.
Standing at the bow of the boat for a while, Qingdai was about to go back to the cabin, and when she turned around, she saw several Jinyi lieutenants standing outside the cabin waiting, she was very embarrassed: "Brother Zhou, Brother Shang, I just came out to stand for a while, I didn't expect to bring you ...... tired"
"What did the young lady say?" Six or seven lieutenants bowed down and clasped their fists in unison: "Chief Shi said, Chief Qin is his lifelong friend, and he is also a hero who went out from our Huguang Thousand Households. Therefore, the lower officials all came after making a military order, and they talked about some Xu Jiangfeng, even if the knife fell from the sky, they would never dodge. β
Qing Dai grinned: stuck out her little tongue: "Chief Shi is really kind, but he is too polite." β
At this time, Li Shizhen also finished the routine five-bird drama (traditional Chinese medicine health care body) every morning, and stretched out of the cabin door.
Qing Dai grimaced at her grandfather, rushed over and pulled him by the arm: "Grandpa is up?" Hehe, I heard you say that what kind of bandits are when you go out, and there are a lot of bad people on the rivers and lakes, and what are the Yangtze River water thieves, Qingdai thought it was true, this time I went out and walked thousands of miles, and I didn't even see the shadow of a thief, so I knew that my grandfather was bragging! β
Li Shizhen's old face turned red, and she said in her heart, what do you know about this little girl? The old man practiced medicine in his early years, and he didn't know how many ghosts and ghosts he saw on the rivers and lakes, but now, he sat on a big official boat, hanging the lantern of the official title of the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi guard, and the deputy Qianhu also sent a large group of captains in the brocade clothes to escort the boat.
However, Qingdai's heart is as clear and transparent as crystal glass, Li Shizhen is reluctant to tell her those sensational things, while stroking her granddaughter's hair, she smiled lovingly: "Yes, grandpa bragging, we are almost in Nanjing, luck is good along the way, no one bullies us ......"
Jia Fugui just laughed when he heard it in the back, there is the official title lantern of the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard, and there is a group of wolf-like Jinyi captains to escort him, no matter where he goes, he will have good luck, not to mention being stolen, robbed and bullied, if you don't bully others, you will be kind.
Of course, Boss Jia pulled a lot of valuable goods this time, escaped the taxes and common practices along the way again, and made another profit.
Not only that, Jia Fugui also knew that Qin Lin was kind to a group of general businessmen led by Jia Tian Qiye, the head of the Cao Gang, and in the future, he Jia alone could be regarded as finding a backer for his business up and down the Yangtze River and north and south of the canal, waiting for the wealth to roll in!
A, B, C and D just got up, yawning out of the cabin, Qing Dai's grooming and other things are done by themselves, they have done this girl in name only, fortunately, before Qin Lin left Qizhou, Li Shizhen set up a new medical center in Xuan Miaoguan, which contains a female medical hall dedicated to patients with female surnames, they assisted Qing Dai in treating patients, but they were not idle.
"Ha-" The female soldier armor yawned loudly, her chest was turbulent, and the captain in brocade clothes who was escorted by her eyes was dry and her throat was dry, and she quickly lowered her head and looked away.
"Anyway, the surname Qin has already achieved the deputy thousand households, and the promotion is quite fast!" The female soldier A pursed her lips and said hatefully: "Compared to it, that nasty dead fat man is a general banner rank, hum, it is really good and good are rewarded with evil and evil are rewarded." β
Female soldier B quipped: "Look, our eldest sister is Lu Fatzi when she mentions it." β
"Three sentences are not on the lips, is there no other reason?" Female soldier C smiled meaningfully.
"Could it be ......" Xiao Ding's eyes widened in disbelief, and just when everyone was waiting for her to say the long-awaited next and give the female soldier a frontal blow, Xiao Ding asked with a serious face: "He owes the eldest sister a lot of money?" β
Uh~ A, B, and C all have a feeling of weakness and powerlessness, and they don't want to say anything to this dumb guy anymore.
"But I'm a little worried about the surname Qin, this guy is actually quite good to us," the female soldier blinked her eyes, and her eyebrows twisted: "The eldest lady won't make him too ruthless, right?" β
The mouths of B and C are crooked, do you still need to ask? Our wise and martial eldest lady is determined to make Qin Lin die and live, and she wants to die and want to die!
To some extent, they actually guessed correctly...... "Poor Chief Qin," Xiao Ding pouted regretfully.
The conversation of the four women, Qing Dai heard it word in her ears, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was also worried about Qin Lin, because the letter sent by Xu Xinyi a few days ago was very powerful, and it can be seen that she was full of anger when she mentioned Qin Lin! I wonder what she's going to do?
On the other hand, Qing Dai's little heart is also a little worried: he has been separated from Brother Qin for a few months, and the daughter of so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Nanjing, will he know other sisters and forget about Qing Dai? Xu Xinyi's letter, but intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the fairy daughter of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion!
"Qing Dai is just a wild girl running around the mountains," Thinking of this, Xiao Qing Dai pursed her mouth in distress, but she quickly squeezed her little fist to cheer herself up: No, Brother Qin will not forget me, he said it! He's kissed Qingdai!
In Li Qingdai's crystal-transparent heart, the kiss between men and women is the most loyal promise, and there is absolutely no doubt.
Thinking that Brother Qin had gently pecked his face, Xiao Qingdai's heart was as sweet as honey, but her face was a little hot.
The ship is about to arrive in Nanjing, and a large battle ship of the Yangtze River Navy Division in the distance greeted it together, and a thousand households of the Admiral's Mansion of the Governor of the Yangtze River looked at the lantern of the official title hung on the white boat, and immediately knelt down on one leg to report his official rank resume: "Mark the Thousand Zong Huang of the Nanjing River Defense Battalion of the Admiral's Mansion of the Commander's Mansion, and the Wanli five-year reward plus the trial of the title of a thousand households, and the order of Miss Xu of the Gongfu Mansion is here to welcome Doctor Li and Miss Li!" β
Wanli Nian's military system collapsed, even if he raised people, he could also call soldiers privately, not to mention that Xu Xinyi was the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, she said that these officers were all treated as urgent military orders, and Huang Desheng was ordered to lead the way, that is, he took out the system to greet the officials, and did not dare to slack off.
If it is an officer in the army, he will shout as usual, and Huang Desheng can stand up again, but where do Li Shizhen and Li Qingdai's grandchildren understand this? One hugged his fists and bowed, and the other said good fortune to this military master, but he didn't shout that sentence.
Huang Desheng sweat beads on his head, I don't know what to do, fortunately, the four female soldiers of A, B, C, and D understand the market, and shouted in unison, Huang Desheng got up from the deck, and respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, and then commanded the big warship to lead in front.
After walking a short distance, there were ten brand-new boats lined up in front of me, all of which were tied with red lanterns, colored satin, and colored flags.
Huang Desheng was not polite this time, and shouted arrogantly: "Let go, get out of the way, block the way of the master, violate the decree of the Guogong Mansion, and ask you to kill your heads one by one!" β
The leader of the big boat ignored Huang Desheng, and a person who looked like a scribe shouted at the white boat: "But the Qizhou Divine Doctor Li and the female doctor fairy have arrived?" The Cao Gang brothers are waiting for you here! β
Li Shizhen looked at her granddaughter, and then at the Cao Gang, the soldier still knew that it was sent by Xu Xinyi, whose face is this Cao Gang? In the Yangtze River basin and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Cao Gang is the largest gang.
I can't care about it, Li Shizhen nodded.
Ten Cao boats cheered at the same time, and when they boarded, the gongs and drums danced loudly, and hundreds of strong men stood on the deck in red, shouting in unison: "The Cao Gang and others greet the senior sister for Qin Engong, and wish Doctor Li a long life than Nanshan, and the female doctor fairy and Engong flowers a good moon!" β
