"Where has Brother Zhang been on the boat?" Chen Yuan began to ask the main question, and this was obviously a topic that Zhang Kuangzheng was very willing to talk about, and he talked about it endlessly.

The Song Dynasty's name for the sea was very different from now, and in some places after Zhang Kuangzheng said it, Chen Yuan didn't know where it was, and only from the customs and customs on the island where he landed could he judge that this guy had at least been to Yuben and went to Nanyang.

None of this is unusual, Zhang Kuangzheng finally told Chen Yuan that on the other side of the Great East China Sea, there is a country called Maya. He had never been to this country, but he only knew about it from the mouths of the local natives on an island tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty.

He really had been to Hawaii! It may be just one step short, and the first to discover the new continent is the Chinese!

Zhang Kuangzheng said that there was no way to go east that time, the materials were seriously insufficient, and the crew did not agree to continue the adventure, he regretted his life, and if he had the opportunity, he wanted to go again.

Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Kuangzheng very excitedly: "Brother Zhang, I am not satisfied with you, my brother is also very interested in running boats, and he also has the dream of making a voyage, I wonder if Brother Zhang can help me?" ”

When Zhang Kuangzheng heard this, his face first showed joy, and then it dimmed: "Brother Chen, sailing and running a boat for business are two different concepts, running a boat for business, walking in a familiar sea area, there is generally no danger, and it is profitable. But the voyage is different, it is completely a loss-making transaction, and it is very likely that it will never return. I think my father also left me a lot of family wealth, but after going to sea a few times, it was already empty, and if I didn't have a group of friends to help me now, eating would be a problem. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "I understand this, I just want to know, if I really want to organize a voyage, if Brother Zhang is willing to help me." ”

Zhang Kuangzheng immediately said: "I'd rather die at sea!" ”

Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm relieved to have this, I'll start preparing after a while, Brother Zhang don't shirk." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Yang Yi. From the moment he entered the door to the present, Chen Yuan has always been talking about things with Zhang Kuangzheng, leaving Yang Yi aside. If it were an ordinary person, it would have been unbearable for a long time. But Yang Yi is different, he is used to loneliness, and he is used to sitting quietly next to others when they are talking.

"Escort Yang, in fact, I have always had a very strange thing, can you answer me?" Chen Yuan looked at Yang Yi with a smile on his face, Yang Yi could really understand the shape of his mouth, he made a gesture of please say one by one, this gesture was very simple, Chen Yuan could understand it without a translator.

At the moment, he asked: "Since you can read the lip shape, then let me save Brother Zhang, why do you want me to write to you?" ”

Yang Yi smiled and made a series of gestures, and Zhang Kuangzheng smiled: "Brother Chen, he asked you if you understood the gesture just now?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Kuangzheng said: "That gesture is to tell you that he can look at the shape of his mouth, and you don't have to write." ”

After Zhang Kuangzheng finished speaking, the two laughed at the same time, and Yang Yi also split his mouth on the side, and made a series of gestures.

Zhang Kuangzheng nodded: "Brother Chen, it's not too early, we won't disturb your rest." Brother Yang asked you to remember that in the future, you will have a friend of him in Bianjing, and if there is anything he can help with, you can just ask. ”

Chen Yuan realized that he and Zhang Kuangzheng had been talking for nearly two hours unconsciously, and immediately got up to see off the guests: "The two of you treat each other like this, so that I am very moved, Brother Yang rest assured, I am a businessman, if I have something to find you in the future, I will not be polite!" Also, Brother Zhang, I hope you can stay in Bianjing during this time, because I have to go to my hometown and will be back soon. When I get back, I'm going to start preparing for the voyage! There will be many places to rely on when the time comes. ”

When Chen Yuan said this again, Zhang Kuangzheng finally believed that Chen Yuan really wanted to make a voyage, and his eyes changed when he looked at Chen Yuan, and there was quite a bit of a confidant in it.

After sending them away, Linghua brought Chen Yuan a bowl of hot sweet soup. Hu Jing's craftsmanship is very good, and Linghua's craftsmanship is indeed better than Hu Jing's.

Chen Yuan is a man who likes to eat the food cooked by his wife, so he drank a bowl of sweet soup with relish, and before the soup cooled down, it all entered his stomach.

In fact, the conversation between Hu Jing and that man was always entangled in Chen Yuan's heart, and in the process of drinking the soup, he was thinking about what he should do.

Now kill the past and ask clearly? Something seems inappropriate. After all, that man was Hu Jing's past, even if they had some kind of ambiguous relationship before, he had no reason to ask. What's more, it was the first time for Hu Jing to be with him, and they had at least not crossed the line.

If you don't ask, you really can't put it down, so she asked Linghua at the moment: "When did the two guests next to me come?" ”

Linghua replied casually: "I only arrived this morning, it looks like two brothers, what is the name of the little one." I don't know if it's big. They only bet on the house for one day, and they think they will leave tomorrow, what? Any questions? ”

Chen Yuan finally let go of half of his heart, he only arrived this morning, so he was on his own feet? Maybe Hu Jing was thinking about something between them. Or what dangerous thing is he going to do, and he temporarily thought of Hu Jing's "ex-girlfriend"? Moreover, judging the relationship between them based on that half of the dialogue seems to be a bit arbitrary.

If it wasn't for what she thought, Hu Jing wouldn't be too embarrassed, she hid it from herself, thinking that she was afraid that she would be suspicious.

Let's talk to Hu Jing.

Just thinking about it, Hu Jing also walked in from outside the door: "Brother Chen, Yang Yi, are they gone?" ”

Chen Yuan glanced at Linghua: "Sister, go wash the dishes." ”

Linghua nodded, took the dishes and chopsticks and went out, Chen Yuan hurriedly added: "Come up later!" ”

Now that it's time to go to bed, Linghua of course knows what to do when she comes up again, her head is lowered, and her steps are running fast.

Hu Jing smiled: "Brother Chen, I want to talk to you about something." ”

Chen Yuan nodded, secretly thinking in his heart that it would be best if she took the initiative to tell herself.

Hu Jing sat down beside Chen Yuan: "I want to take some money from you, two hundred yuan is enough." ”

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "You don't want to do such a thing in the future, if you need money, you can take it yourself, and then just talk to me." ”

Seeing that Chen Yuan agreed so happily, Hu Jing finally let go of a stone in his heart. She is really short of money now, because when the man came this time, he was already penniless, and Hu Jing had to help him so that he could live in Bianjing without having to do some high-end business for his livelihood.

But Hu Jing had just put her heart down, but Chen Yuan's words made her confused: "Can the matter between you and him really be solved with money?" ”

Chen Yuan saw that when he finished saying this, Hu Jing's face had turned pale: "You, what did you hear?" ”

Of course, Chen Yuan wouldn't tell her how much he heard, and he also knew that with the two dialogues he heard, he really couldn't explain things clearly, so he decided to call Hu Jing at the moment: "I just heard some things that should be heard, and some things that shouldn't be heard." ”

He didn't notice at all that Hu Jing's hand had subconsciously placed on the short sword behind him when he said what he said just now, and he held the hilt of the sword, but slowly let go: "Brother Chen, since you know everything, what are you going to do?" ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while: "It's not what I'm going to do, sister, you are my person, I can leave your past alone, because I know that you are the only man I am." I hope it will be the same in the future! I want to live with you for the rest of my life, and let the other men go away, okay? He asked for money, I gave it to him, 300 guan is not enough for me to give 3,000! If money doesn't work out, I want you to tell me. Now that you are my woman, it is my responsibility to solve some troubles for you that you cannot afford. Don't do anything for him, that would be a disservice to me. ”

Hu Jing's face suddenly relaxed, and she let out a long breath, she knew that Chen Yuan must have misunderstood. The reason for the misunderstanding was because Chen Yuan did not hear the most crucial part. This is good news for her, there are some things, the truth is still known as little as possible.

smiled at the moment, and said in a gentle tone that she rarely had: "Big brother, don't worry, I will take care of it." I remember what you said, and I won't do anything to be sorry for you. Linghua's footsteps sounded outside the house, and Chen Yuan took Hu Jing's hand: "I believe in you!" Don't say it again, let Linghua hear it badly. ”

Hu Jing was very grateful that Chen Yuan didn't say such a misunderstanding in front of others, even Linghua. After Linghua came in, Hu Jing raised her head and wanted to find a topic to talk about, but found that there was nothing to say for a while.

However, Chen Yuan was very experienced, stood up and plugged in the door, hugged Linghua and walked to the edge of the bed, but when he walked halfway, he glanced back at Hu Jing: "Woman? Do you want me to hug you? ”

Hu Jing remembered the absurdity of the afternoon, her face couldn't help but flush, and she really didn't stand up. Chen Yuan could only come over again and hugged her into his arms: "Old husband and wife, what are you still shy!" ”

Early the next morning, when Chen Yuan pushed open the door of the Chase bunk where they slept in Tie'anli, Su Tu was trying on a padded jacket.

Su Tu's size is very strong, this kind of Song people generally wear a cotton jacket outside, he can only wear it as underwear, it looks still tightly wrapped, obviously a few sizes smaller.

However, Sutu was very satisfied, and said to Tie Anli behind him: "You take a knife and make a cut in my back to put it on!" This thing is so warm, it can keep out the cold better than a tiger's skin! ”

Tie Anli really took a knife and prepared to cut the back of the padded jacket. Chen Yuan hurriedly stopped: "Don't row!" ”

Tie Anli turned around and saw Chen Yuan, hurriedly put down the knife in his hand, and respectfully knelt down and kowtowed: "Lord Chen!" ”

Chen Yuan helped him up: "How is it?" Are you still used to staying here yesterday? ”

Sutu immediately said: "Get used to it! Habit! My lord, this Song people's bed is comfortable to sleep on, we used to sleep in a cave on Changbai Mountain, even if we lit a few bonfires, we were woken up in the middle of the night! It's the first time I've slept so soundly when I've grown so big. ”

Changbai Mountain is really not a suitable place for people to live, it is terrible cold in winter, and when you sleep in other seasons, you have to worry about the attack of wild beasts, so these raw Jurchens all laughed after Su Tu finished speaking, they are basically the same as Su Tu, they are sleeping so peacefully for the first time.

Chen Yuan touched Su Tu's jacket with his hand, and looked at a child next to him who was obviously not yet fourteen years old: "Take off the jacket and give it to him, you are too small." ”

Su Tu's eyes were a little nostalgic, and he was reluctant. The Jurchens do not have the habit of respecting the old and loving the young, survival of the fittest is their principle, and with a hard fist, they can take what they want at will, even if this thing is not their own.

But he was really grateful to Chen Yuan in his heart. Since entering the Great Song Dynasty border pass, they have never worried about eating and drinking. Especially last night, Sutu had never thought that he would be able to eat so much in one meal before! Pork, chicken, mutton, and the aroma of the roast is overflowing, and the table is full, and you can eat whatever you want until you can't eat it anymore.

Tie Anli whispered, "Sutu, take it off!" ”

Su Tu thought for a while, and immediately took off the jacket and handed it to the child, and the child put it on his body with a smile on his face, just right!

The eyes of all the Jurchens leaked with envy.
