Although Zhao Chuandong received a deposit of two hundred taels of silver to go to Heyin County to pick up a batch of goods, Wujin was willing to give one thousand taels of silver, which made Zhao Chuandong immediately change his plan, give up the business in Heyin County, and directly send Wujin and the three of them to Luojing.

In addition, Wu Jin took out another three hundred taels of silver and rewarded the twenty crew members on the ship, and the crew members were all willing to work for him, giving up the tradition of going ashore to find women along the way, and he gave another two hundred taels of silver to the owner of Zhao as the food expenses of the three of them on the ship, which immediately allowed them to enjoy the top hospitality: living in the VIP cabin on the third floor, drinking the best wine, and tasting the most delicious food, this is the mysterious role of silver.

The ship was well supplied, did not stop along the way, and went all the way west, and after seven days, entered the territory of Heyin County, and in the early morning of this day, the ship gradually slowed down.

Wu Jin, as usual, sat in the window seat of the cabin reading a book, and the morning light shone into the room through the window, filling his cabin with a warm and peaceful feeling.

"Wu Jin!"

Chen Ying's silver bell-like voice came from outside the cabin, "Can I come in?" ”

"Come in!" Wu Jin said lazily.

The door opened, and Chen Ying, who was covered with cucumber slices on her face, walked in, her look of tilting her head for fear that the cucumber would fall made Wu Jin couldn't help but smile, she sat down cross-legged opposite Wu Jin, slowly lowered her head, and looked at him seriously, "Do you think this thing you invented called a mask can really make my skin whiter?" ”

Wu Jin's thick eyelashes lifted, and he stared at her face full of cucumber slices with a hint of mischief, "How do you feel?" ”

"I didn't have any effect on it, but my sister said that her effect was good, I'm really confused, you can see if it has any effect."

As she spoke, Chen Ying picked off the cucumber slices on her face, twisted her face to the left and then to the right, and stared at Wu Jin with her eyes, "How is it, does it have an effect?" ”

"Why do you have white pockmarks on your face?" Wu Jin found that there were milky white dots on her face, and she felt a little strange in her heart.

"Where?" Chen Ying hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe her face, and sure enough, there were a lot of white spots, she looked at them carefully in front of her, and suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly, "This is cucumber seeds." ”

"Nonsense! How can cucumber seeds be so white? ”

"No, it's just that I washed my face with milk just now and applied the cucumber directly."

Wu Jin finally couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, and he trembled with laughter.

"What are you laughing at!"

Chen Ying was a little angry, she came to Wujin in the hope that he could praise herself, well! Her skin turned white, she became pretty, and so on, but she didn't expect him to laugh, she felt that Wu Jin was laughing at her, her self-esteem was stabbed, she threw the cucumber to the ground, and turned around angrily, "Didn't you teach others to do this?" ”

Wu Jin couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart, Chen Ying wanted to make her skin whiter, which showed that she was very concerned about being dark-skinned, and she shouldn't laugh at her like this.

He suppressed his smile and said to her softly: "The mask is definitely effective, cucumber can keep the face moisturized, it is best to do it before going to bed, and washing your face with milk can make your skin whiter, many women in Luo Hanguo like to take milk baths, we don't need it here, you can wash your face once a morning, you don't have to do it many times a day, the key is to persevere, I heard Senior Sister Yu say that your skin was not dark when you were a child, it was blackened by the sea breeze for many years, in fact, pay attention to maintenance, I think it will slowly restore your complexion when you were a child." ”

Wu Jin's sincere words made the anger in Chen Ying's heart slowly dissipate, "That's pretty much it. ”

She turned around again and picked up the cucumbers on the floor one by one, "Forget it, I'll go cut a few more and stick them on." ”

She got up to go out, but Wu Jin stopped her again, "Ah Ying, why don't I give you my cup of milk in the future!" ”

"Forget it, Senior Sister has already given me her milk to wash my face, it's too wasteful to use yours again, you drink it yourself, I'll go paste the cucumber."

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps on the gangway outside, this was to deliver breakfast, Chen Ying didn't want outsiders to see the milk on her face, so she ran away in a panic.

"Childe, breakfast is coming!"

The door opened, and a thin figure walked in with a food box, he was the youngest crew member among them except for Wu Jin, only eighteen years old this year, named Zhen Xiaoqi, nicknamed 'really stingy', he was indeed stingy, he didn't pull out a dime, and he didn't spend a penny indiscriminately, although he was just a small crew member who did chores in the kitchen, but he was the one who saved the most money among the crew.

After the plane crash of Wujin, he floated on the sea for three days with a mast, and he was the first to find out, and he and Wujin have always had a good relationship.

"Childe! Your breakfast is here. ”

He smiled and put a red lacquered wood food box in front of Wu Jin, since Wu Jin wrapped the ship with a thousand taels of silver, Zhao Shipowner gave a strict order to the crew, not to call Wu Jin directly, to be called Wu Jin Gongzi, and Wu Jin also gave them a tip of fifteen taels of silver each, Mo said that it is called Wu Jin Gongzi, that is, it is called Wu Jin Uncle, many people are willing, at least Zhen Xiaoqi is willing.

Breakfast is very rich, a plate of soft cakes with minced meat, a plate of eight meat buns, three bowls of porridge, as well as a few fritters and a cup of fresh milk, a cow is raised in the livestock hold at the bottom of the boat, there is fresh milk every day, Zhao Shipowner has stomach problems, and he must drink milk every day to nourish his stomach, and now the three of them also share it together.

"Didn't the milk be delivered in the morning? How is it again? ”

Zhen Xiaoqi laughed quietly: "The shipowner heard that the two ladies were going to wash their faces with milk, so he asked me to squeeze another glass of milk for the son." ”

"It's not necessary, I don't give them milk, I want to drink it myself!"

Drinking a glass of milk in the morning was a habit that Wu Jin had developed in his previous life, he picked up the milk and drank it, and returned the cup to him, "You don't need to send more in the future, leave it to Zhao Chuandong!" ”

Zhen Xiaoqi hesitated, "I have one more thing, I want to ask my son for a small favor." ”

"What's the matter?"

Wu Jin asked with a smile, in fact, he didn't need to ask him to know what this Zhen Xiaoqi was looking for him to do? It must be borrowing money, he always excuses that he can't do something with a little money, and then asks him to borrow money, and then swears that he will pay it back next time, but he has never paid it back, and Wu Jin remembers that he still owes himself twenty taels of silver and hasn't paid it back! Seeing that he is working so hard these days, it is estimated that he wants to borrow money again.

Zhen Xiaoqi scratched his head and said with an embarrassed face: "That's the case, I have saved four hundred and ninety taels of silver in the past few years, and the difference is five hundred taels from ten taels, and it just so happens that the boat is going to stop in Heyin, so I want to go to the money village to exchange for a silver ticket of five hundred taels, can the son lend me ten taels of silver first, and when Luo Jing pays his wages, I promise to pay it back." ”

Sure enough, Wu Jin guessed it, no wonder this kid is called 'really stingy', when he is really stingy when he arrives at home, Wu Jin has always been more generous, for the sake of him serving himself these days, he doesn't care about him, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and threw it to him, "Together with the twenty taels of silver you owe me, a total of thirty taels of silver, even if it is rewarded to you, you don't have to pay it back." ”

Zhen Xiaoqi blushed and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Childe!" Thank you, Childe! ”

He turned to leave, but Wu Jin stopped him, "What did you just say?" The boat is going to stop in Heyin? ”

"Yes, just stop for more than an hour, Shipowner Zhao wants to return the deposit to others, won't he take the ticket business?"

"There you go!"

Wu Jin walked out of the cabin and came to the side of the ship, only to see that the ship was slowly heading towards the wharf, not far from the wharf is the towering city wall of Heyin County, and the wharf is full of people coming and going, which is particularly lively.

He also wanted to go ashore and walk away after sitting on the boat for a long time, he saw Chen Ying and Yu Hailan holding hands and coming over for breakfast, so he smiled at them: "You two watch things for me, I'll go ashore for a walk!" ”

．．．．．．．． Although the wharf of Heyin County can not be compared with the wharf of Weiyang County, it is one of the largest wharves along the Yellow River, mixed use of passengers and goods, people and vehicles on the wharf, particularly lively, in front of Wujin, a team of wharf coolies carrying marijuana bags are slowly walking by, through the dark arms of these dock workers, he saw several white wooden houses not far away, several businessmen are standing at the door waiting, there should be a port river inspection office, a group of people gathered in front of a notice board at the door, pointing and talking about something.

Wu Jin walked up, it turned out to be an announcement of the execution of the prisoners, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he thought it was a notice to arrest them, no, but after thinking about it again, they were the result of a power struggle, and they didn't dare to go to the official documents anyway.

"Look at those people, embroidered guards!" In the crowd reading the post, some people pointed to the south, and Wu Jin looked in the direction of their fingers, only to see several burly men in yellow brocade robes standing at the entrance of the dock and looking at the situation in the dock.

Since the last time his grandfather told him that he might be allowed to join the embroidered inner guard, he specially learned about this mysterious army, which is actually the spy organization of the Daning Dynasty, similar to the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, there are two such spy organizations in the Daning Dynasty, one is the Meihua Inner Guard, which was established to inherit the Wuzhou Dynasty and has existed since the establishment of the Daning Dynasty.

The embroidered guard was established forty years ago, it was originally just a branch of the plum blossom guard, but forty-one years ago the plum blossom guard general Jiang Hengtian died suddenly, the plum blossom guard began to split, the division of the third government became stronger and stronger, and then played an important role in the change of Jin'an, and finally able to read, the formation of today's embroidered guard, and as an emperor, the current emperor Huangfu Xuande will not tolerate the embroidery guard family dominance, under his deliberate support, plum blossom guard after twenty years of weakness, It was also rejuvenated by Shuo Fangjiedu's appointment of Bai Hao as the general of the Plum Blossom Guard.

Now the Daning Dynasty has formed a situation of confrontation between the two heroes of Meihuawei and Xiuyiwei, the two spy organizations are fighting openly and secretly, if divided from the faction, Meihuawei belongs to the Donggong faction, and Xiuyiwei belongs to the Chu Wang faction, of course, this is more rough, because whether it is Meihuawei or Xiuyiwei, in fact, they are loyal to the current emperor.

Today is the first time that Wu Jin saw the embroidered guard, the plum blossom guard and the embroidered guard are only distributed in the two capitals and the Yongzhou and Yuzhou where the two capitals are located, and other states do not, the legend is that the embroidered clothes are named because they are wearing a yellow brocade robe embroidered with animal patterns, and the plum blossom guard is wearing a brocade robe embroidered with white plum blossoms on a red background, and what he saw at this time was a few embroidered guards with knives in yellow brocade robes, and the ordinary soldiers in general were called Ti Cai.

The people around continued to discuss, "They are the embroidered guards of the Hanoi battalion, they are here every day, I don't know why, the entire Yellow River is covered with embroidery guards, I heard that who are being arrested?" ”

"Is that it?" Someone asked, pointing to a wanted notice at the far end of the bulletin board.

Wu Jin found that there was a small wanted notice that had just been posted on the edge, and he quickly read it and couldn't help but be surprised.
