Chapter 1 The East China Sea Boy
In the early morning, the weather was clear, there were a few white clouds floating faintly on the horizon, the sea water was as blue and clear as the sky, and the brocade shone with silver brilliance, and in the distance, on this calm and sleepy sea, a large sea ship sailed with the wind.
This is a 3,000 stone sea ship, more than 20 zhang long, it is a common six-masted passenger ship in the near sea, the sea ship is extremely wide, the ship building is divided into three floors, the second and third floors are all covered by the guests, the top of the ship is inserted with a purple pennant, the guests on the ship are the new assassins who went to Donghai County to take up their posts.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man standing in the bow of the ship on the third floor, wearing a gauze hat, wearing a plain white robe, and three long whiskers floating on his chest, quite elegant, he was the new assassin of Donghai County, Su Hanzhen, seeing that he was about to go to the place of duty, he had a more timid uneasiness about his hometown.
Su Hanzhen is a native of Donglai County, Qizhou, a famous family, fifteen years ago he was admitted to the Jinshi, was assigned to the East Palace to accompany the prince to study, step by step to achieve the five products of the East Palace Zuo Zanshan Doctor, this time he was appointed as the Donghai County Assassin History, is the first time to be released as an official.
He set off from Yongjing, first went back to the ancestral hall of Donglai County to worship the ancestors, and went directly to the post by sea boat from there, the trip has passed half a month, and it seems that he will arrive in Donghai County tomorrow.
Su Hanzhen looked at the sea and sky in front of him, there was no excitement in his eyes, but a faint sense of worry, and the words that the prince said to him before leaving still lingered in his ears.
"When you go to Donghai County, you should try your best to grab the financial power of Donghai for Gu, this matter is related to whether Gu can finally ascend the throne and become unified......
Su Hanzhen is very aware of the burden she shoulders as the assassin of Donghai County, since the death of the prince's biological mother, Empress Yang, three months ago, the prince's position has become less solid.
In particular, Shen Guifei was canonized as the queen, and the call for the change of the prince in the court was rising, and the saint also liked the king of Chu born to Queen Shen, and he said publicly in the court more than once that the king of Chu was similar to me and was the most suitable for inheriting the unification.
And several ambitious princes are also ready to move behind, trying to get involved in the East Palace, and the pressure on the prince can be imagined.
This time, in order to let Su Hanzhen serve as Donghai County, the crown prince did not hesitate to move out of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, who had long been out of the world, and only at the last moment defeated the candidate recommended by Uncle Shen Guo and won the right to recommend the assassin of Donghai County.
Donghai County, especially Weiyang County, has been the most prosperous commercial city in the Daning Dynasty for two hundred years, with ten riches in the world, and Weiyang has one-third of it.
In order to compete for the position of Donghai County's assassin, all the forces fought behind the scenes for three months, and finally ended with the victory of the crown prince.
No one will give up easily, Su Hanzhen knows very well in her heart that his trip to the East China Sea is just the beginning of the competition.
The sea breeze was very strong, Su Hanzhen felt a little cool, and turned around to go back to the cabin, at this moment, he suddenly saw a slender figure, sneaking towards the back boat, still holding a small bag in his hand.
"This dead girl, when is it now, I still want to listen to the story."
Su Hanzhen shook her head with a smile, and walked downstairs along the boat ladder.
........
Seeing that they were about to arrive in Tokai County, the people on the ship became extremely excited, and a group of crew members sat at the stern of the ship discussing where to go after they reached the shore, and a bearded crew member was like a bell, and his hearty laughter was heard all over the ship.
"His grandmother's, finally coming to the shore, the first thing to do when you arrive on the shore is to go to the Parkway Restaurant for a big meal, and then go to the Baihualou to sleep beautifully, Baihualou! Lao Tzu dreams of a white flower. ”
"Boss Hong, don't talk nonsense, there are officials on the ship!" Another crew member hurriedly whispered to stop him.
The bearded crew was so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, and then a crisp voice came from the side, "Uncle Hong, what kind of good place is Baihualou?" ”
Everyone turned around, only to see a little girl standing next to her, wearing a water silk green Luo skirt, the sea wind is strong, and a short undergarment, she is only in her early tens, her body is not enough, slightly thin, a precious hosta through the black braid, her skin is white and red, a pair of big black eyes, the nose is well-behaved, the lips are full and ruddy, although she is young, but she is already a full beauty fetus, she holds a blue silk bag in her hand, and looks at the crew with a smile.
When the crew saw her suddenly appear, they all stood up in fright, and the bearded crew member scratched the back of his head and explained embarrassedly: "Baihualou is an inn, and every time I go ashore in Huaiyang County, I go there to rest and sleep." ”
The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, and two sweet dimples appeared on her face, "Oh! It turned out to be an inn, what is good about the inn, it is dirty and messy, it seems that the uncle is tired of staying on the boat. ”
"That's right! Right! I'm really tired. ”
All the crew members responded, and the bearded crew glanced up, scratched their heads and smiled: "Miss is here to find Wu Jin!" ”
"Yes! Where is Saburo's brother? ”
"That kid is sleeping on the mast!"
The bearded crew shouted at the mast with a broken gong in their voices: "Wu Jin, Miss Su has come to tell you a story, come down quickly!" ”
I only heard a lazy voice from the top of the mast, "It's about to come to shore, what story do you want to tell?" ”
The bearded crew member shrugged his shoulders helplessly at the little girl, indicating that he had no choice, and the little girl walked to the mast, raised her little white jade face, and shouted in a crisp voice: "Brother San Lang, I'm not here to listen to the story, I brought you a gift." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a person jumping from the mast lightly and skillfully, although he was very tall, he looked like a young man.
He wore a cardigan, his bare arms, his shoulders were tanned, his muscles were extremely strong, and he looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old.
His eyebrows and eyes are very distinctive, with slender eyes, beautiful eyebrows, especially long eyebrows, flying into the temples, quite a bit of the effect of Peking Opera masks in later generations, but what impresses people the most is the lazy look in his eyes.
It should be said that he is a combination of two people, one is from the later generations, named Zhao Tao, is a reading advertising planner, he went to overseas vacation, the plane was hit by a lightning storm, the plane crashed into the vast sea, only his soul is not separated, and he came to this strange historical dynasty.
And the other person is the original owner of this body, is the son of the Donghai Huangfu clan, called Huangfu Wujin, nicknamed Saburo, only seventeen years old this year, he was in a big accident when he was ten years old, his grandfather was angry and sent him to his old friend in Qizhou to be strictly disciplined, and he was not allowed to go home for seven years.
Half a year ago, Huangfu Wujin encountered a thunderstorm at sea, in the lightning and thunder, and the storm was combined, the ship was smashed by a huge object falling from the sky, and the whole ship died, but Zhao Tao's soul was possessed by Huangfu Wujin, which gave him a new life.
What's even more amazing is that Zhao Tao also retains part of the memory of Huangfu Wujin, so that he knows who he is and where his home is?
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grinned and said, "What gift?" Show me first! ”
The little girl's name is Su Yi, her father is the new Donghai County Thorn Shi Su Hanzhen, although Su Hanzhen is a county thorn history, but his surname is easy-going, approachable, usually has nothing to do and often comes to chat with the crew about local customs, the youngest daughter Su Yi met Wu Jin when she chatted with the crew with her father.
Once bored on a boat, Wu Jin told the crew a story about Tianlong Babu, but he didn't expect to attract the little girl Sue, and since then he has been pestering him every day to tell stories.
Su Yi stretched out a white and tender little finger, shaved his face and laughed at him, "I came down when I heard that there was a gift, is Brother San Lang ashamed?" ”
"You give me the gift, and I will tell you the ending of the little dragon girl, and whether she was with Yang in the end."
"Okay!"
Su Yi clapped her hands with joy, and she handed him the blue silk bag in her hand, "Didn't Brother San Lang always want a bag?" I secretly sewed it. ”
Her hand suddenly shrank, her little face flushed, and there was a hint of twitching in her eyes, "It's not good sewing, don't laugh at me." ”
When Wu Jin heard that it was her craft, he took it curiously, but he couldn't help but smile in his heart, only to see that the stitches of the blue silk bag were sewn crookedly, and a small flower was embroidered on the side.
"You..... Do you like it? Su Yi looked at him timidly, his big eyes blinking and blinking, clearly with a hint of anticipation.
"It's pretty strong! Yes, I love it. ”
"Really?"
Wu Jin knew that he had to coax the little girl more, say a few good words, and didn't have to pay taxes.
He pointed to the little flower on the bag and smiled: "Of course it's true, your little flower is the best embroidered, just like the finishing touch." ”
Su Yi smiled with joy, and her big eyes smiled into a crescent moon.
"Hmm!"
She shook her head with her hands behind her back, a little triumphant, "If you like it, I'll embroider another one for you next time, but what!" I'm conditional, and I'll tell me a story next time. ”
"Definitely! Certain! ”
Wu Jin yawned, I don't know when it will be next time!
"I don't want to wait for next time, I'm going to say it now, I'm going to say it!"
Su Yi pursed her lips, pulled Wuji's arm and coquettishly said: "Brother San Lang, the gift is for you, just tell me a little more!" Did Rong'er marry Brother Jing in the end; Zhang Wuji married Zhao Min, so what should Zhou Zhiruo do? Ah Zi is blind, does Qiao Feng take care of her all her life? You didn't tell me any of this, so tell me about it! ”
"Yi'er! It's messing around again. ”
Suddenly there was a sound of stabbing Shi Su Hanzhen behind him, and the crew members stood up one after another, Su Yi was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, and quickly let go of Wu Jin's hand.
"Daddy, why are you here?"
"It's about to get to the shore, your mother is packing her things, go and have a look! Don't throw away the bits and pieces you bought along the way. ”
Su Yi exclaimed, those things were her treasures, and she didn't care about listening to the story anymore, so she ran to her cabin in a panic......
The crew didn't dare to be lazy, and went to work in front one after another, Su Hanzhen stepped forward and smiled at Wu Jin, "I heard from the shipowner, you will also get off the ship after you arrive in Weiyang County, right?" ”
Although Wu Jin is nominally seventeen years old, his later life is already thirty years old, and he has worked hard in the shopping mall for nearly ten years, and he has become a human spirit early.
There is no need to kneel down to salute, but you must be respectful in your attitude, and you must bow down without Jin, "Back to the history of Su Thorn, Xiaomin is from Weiyang County, and he has been away from home for seven years, and it is time to go home." ”
"Hmm!"
Su Hanzhen nodded, he was very satisfied with Wu Jin's modest attitude, during this time he told his daughter a lot of stories to relieve her boredom of the journey, as a father, as a county parent official, he couldn't laugh at it.
Su Hanzhen took out a famous card and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "If you have anything difficult, you might as well come to me." ”
Wu Jin took the name post, saw that the name post was simple and elegant, and wrote with an ink pen 'Donghai County Thorn Shi Su Hanzhen', the handwriting was elegant and handsome, this is the business card of later generations, which is equivalent to a new mayor handing a business card to himself.
Of course Wu Jin knows its significance, saying that it is useful, it may not be worth a penny, saying that it is useless, maybe it will help itself at a critical time, it depends on who hands over the business card, as the saying goes, 'look at a woman is like looking at a father', as long as you look at Su Yi, a little girl, you can know that this Su Hanzhen's official character is not much worse.
He accepted the name post, and hurriedly returned the salute with a fist, "Thank you for your love!" ”
Su Hanzhen smiled and walked away with her hands behind her back.
.........
In the morning, the wharf of Weiyang County was noisy and lively, with people coming and going, and in the welcome pavilion to the east, more than 20 local officials of Donghai County stood to welcome the new Donghai County Assassin Su Hanzhen.
Behind the officials and officials were more than 100 local celebrities from all walks of life, as well as lion dance teams, music and dance singers, and other performers.
"Look! Su Thornshi's ship has arrived. An official pointed to a large ship in the distance and shouted.
I saw a purple official flag planted on the big boat, fluttering in the wind, indicating that there were high-ranking officials of more than four grades on the ship, and the officials who greeted them at the wharf suddenly became excited, and walked towards the ferry platform together, the drum music sounded on the wharf, and a team of lion dancers tossed up and down, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
The big ship that slowly approached the shore was the ship of the new Donghai County Thorn Shi Su Hanzhen, and the journey lasted thousands of miles, which lasted half a month, and the ship finally arrived at its destination.
The bow of the boat was full of people preparing to get off the boat, Su Hanzhen stood first in the bow of the boat, followed by his family members, as well as several of his staff, as well as maids and servants and a few palanquin men, there were more than 20 people.
Little Lori Sue sat in the sedan chair with her mother, but her eyes looked around through the sedan curtain, and suddenly, she found it, only to see Saburo's brother carrying a wooden box, also ready to get off the boat.
Arrived in Weiyang County, Huangfu Wujin also ended his career as a sailor, and was ready to go ashore to find his eldest brother, he had no relatives and no reason in this world, fortunately, the Huangfu Wujin family he possessed was in Weiyang County, and he had a brother, that is, his home, his relatives.
Wu Jin's eyes are staring at a big banyan tree, not far from the pier, the banyan tree is about 100 zhang high, after tens of millions of years of vicissitudes, it is still lush, like a giant umbrella covering the sky, this should be the king of trees outside Weiyang County, it is said that it is 1,200 years old.
The palm of her hand suddenly became hot, and a slippery little hand had quietly entered the palm, it turned out that Su Yi had sneaked in, she shook Wujin's hand and pouted her red little mouth, "Brother Sanlang, you have promised, you want to continue to tell me the story, you only told me a story about making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and nothing else has been told, the story of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo, and what happened to Ah Zi in the end, you have only told half of it, and you have no one to forget!" ”
Although it was a bit big for Wu Jin to tell the story to the little girl all the way, but now that he really wants to separate, he is also a little reluctant, this little girl is smart and cute, he likes it very much.
Wu Jin was held by her slippery and soft little hand, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for her in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Brother San Lang is a good talker, when I have time, I will definitely come to tell you a story, Brother San Lang has a good story, I promise you to listen to enough." ”
Su Yi was so happy that her face bloomed with a smile, she stretched out a white and tender little finger, tilted her head and winked mischievously, "Okay, let's pull a hook and promise!" ”
Wu Jin also stretched out his little finger to hook her tender little finger and smiled: "Is it a hook and hanging, is it not allowed to rely on it for a hundred years?" ”
Su Yi's eyes lit up, she had never heard of this kind of fresh assurance? She pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay! We will hook and hang, and we will not be allowed to rely on it for a hundred years! ”
"Miss!"
The maid walked over quickly, grabbed Su Yi and complained to her, "I was looking for you everywhere, and Madame was angry and told you to go back quickly." ”
"You're so annoyed, you don't give me any time, I always have to say goodbye to my friends!"
"I've got off the boat, everyone is waiting for you, let's go!"
The maid and the moon ignored Wujin, pulled Su Yi and left, Su Yi turned back three times, her eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.
The boat began to slowly dock, only to hear the gongs and drums on the shore, very lively, a person who ran forward and asked loudly: "Excuse me, this is Su Tingshi's boat?" ”
Staff member Yang Er replied at the bow of the ship: "This is the ship of my family's Su Thorn History, who is coming?" ”
"Please tell Lord Su that the chief officials of Donghai County are here to greet Lord Thorn Shi."
Su Hanzhen was not far behind him, he heard it, he couldn't help but smile, and ordered everyone: "Get off the boat!" ”
He disembarked in the first sedan chair, and the second sedan followed, Sue and her mother.
Wu Jin saw Su Yi open the corner of the sedan curtain and wave goodbye to him, so he smiled and hooked his little finger to her, Su Yi's beautiful big eyes suddenly lit up, and he also hooked his little finger, just now he was depressed, but now he has become bright.
