"Zhang Niu'er, let's start the boat."

Wu Wa'er gave the order, and the boat left the dock and sailed forward. Wu Wa'er sat down in the cabin, looked Yan Yan up and down, and gradually showed pity in her eyes, and then asked: "The little lady rushed to board the boat, alone, and I don't know my details, aren't you afraid that my son will have bad intentions and be unfavorable to the lady?" ”

Tang Yanyan smiled and said, "How old are you, a little hairy boy, you also say such things." Well? Look at your appearance, like a pampered little boy from a big family, how can you dare to travel a long distance with only one maid? ”

Wu Wa'er smiled slightly: "My son...... The surname is Yang, Yang Gui, is a child of Huaizhong, entered Beijing to catch the exam, because he was not in the middle school, he was originally studying in Beijing to prepare for the autumn exam, his father was occasionally infected with a small illness, Yang was worried in his heart, so he abandoned the autumn exam and took the maid home. Yang's house has always had business dealings with this ship, and they are already familiar with each other, so what else is there to worry about? ”

Tang Yanyan suddenly said: "It's no wonder, I said, look at your pink and tender body, it is more delicate than a girl's family." You're the son of a big family, so ...... Slaves don't have to worry about it. ”

Wu Wa'er's eyes rolled and asked, "What's the important thing for the lady to rush to Jianghuai?" ”

Tang Yanyan was dressed in coarse cloth and green clothes, not like a rich and noble family, so he had to make nonsense, and sighed faintly: "Don't hide it from the son, the husband of the slave family, but a merchant who travels back and forth with Jianghuai and Bianjing, doing some business to support his family." Look at his hard work, the slave family has pity in his heart, he is diligent and thrifty, he is careful to spend the day, and he takes good care of the enemy.

Behold...... He actually took a concubine privately in Huaizhong, but he always kept it from me when he went back and forth between the two places, or the slave family only knew when he heard the second brother next door say that he left. The official was hooked by the shameless vixen, how could the slave family rest assured, this time they were in a hurry to go south, and the slave family just wanted to find the unconscionable official. Alas, don't hide it from the little boy, the slave family is also from a rich and noble family, although he suddenly encountered a big disaster, the door was dilapidated, and he asked about his character and identity, and there was no one who was not worthy of him, but I didn't expect him to ......"

When Wu Wa'er heard this, she was also a daughter, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy. At the same time, she herself was a concubine, and when she heard Tang Yanyan call her husband's concubine a shameless vixen, she instinctively wanted to defend it, so she persuaded softly: "Don't worry too much, your husband is still running between the two places, seeing you from time to time, it shows that I still love you in my heart." It is common for men to have concubines, but even so, he refuses to tell the truth, presumably because he is afraid that you will be jealous and sad. Because of love and fear, there are also people who do some foolish things. ”

Tang Yanyan was born in a wealthy family, and the scene of the three wives and six concubines of the men in the family was used to seeing them since childhood, when Qin Yiyun showed her love to her, and went to the brothel of the Qinglou with the third brother and others, although she chased and killed with a sword, the main thing was to indulge in the blame, but it was not that she felt that this was a big rebellion. When she fell in love with Yang Hao and tried her best to win his favor, she didn't have the majesty of her aunt, and she had the ability to lower her own man, so that he would not accept a concubine, but when the concubine entered the door, she should indeed ask his wife's opinion, Yang Hao didn't show her tone at all, and she was a little dissatisfied in her heart.

At this time, I was persuaded by Wu Wa'er, and I thought in my heart: "I originally said that he was hiding from me, or he was fascinated by the fox spirit, and he couldn't wait to admit her to the door, but he didn't have time to tell me, but now that I think about it, what this little boy said is reasonable." ”

Wu Wa'er felt sympathy for the fox spirit in Tang Yanyan's mouth, and when she saw that she was silent, she seemed to have moved, so she persuaded again: "It's okay for the lady to go to find her husband Junyuan, but when she saw him and the concubine, she foolishly thought, but she should not be in a hurry to be angry, and you must observe carefully to see if your husband is transferring all his thoughts to the concubine, or as I said." The lady's character and appearance are all excellent, and I expect that your husband will not lose his love for you. ”

At this time, the girl Ye Bang Tanhua Xing'er came in with fragrant tea, and Wu Wa'er smiled and said, "The lady asks for tea." ”

Tang Yanyan took the cup in his hand, but looked out of the cabin, frowned slightly, and said, "This ship is not happy." ”

The apricot girl listened to her rubbing the boat and was so particular, put the tea tray on the table, and said angrily: "The water of the Bianhe River is slow, our boat has no big sails to borrow, and there are not so many oarsmen rowing, so it is naturally slower, if the lady is in a hurry, you can go to find the fast boat." ”

"Apricot is rude!" Wu Wa'er glared at her with disgust, and smiled at Tang Yanyan: "This boat is not slow, the lady is going to Huaizhong, and she is not in a hurry for one day or two in the morning. ”

She turned the teacup in her hand dexterously, pursed her lips and blew the tea leaves in the cup, watched its ups and downs, and said with a smile: "The man's family enjoys the blessings of all people, the wives and concubines are in groups, the red flowers and green leaves, and the blessings are boundless, which has been the case since ancient times, and that has become the rule." This teapot, with six cups, everyone thinks it's normal, if you insist on a teapot with only one cup, you might as well, but everyone in the world regards a pot of multiple cups as a common thing, you want a pot of cups, then it will be seen as absurd, what? ”

Although Tang Yanyan was moved in his heart, he was very unconvinced, and said coldly: "You little boy knows very well, you are also a man, of course you breathe out with him in the same nostril." ”

Wu Wa'er smiled and said: "Yang was born in a wealthy mansion and grew up in the hands of women, so he is used to seeing this kind of thing, and it is difficult to understand it." (Note: Feminists don't want to be flattened, with the identity and perspective of a baby, it can only be this kind of insight, in that era, a jealous wife and even the women of the neighbors had to despise her, and the customs and concepts were like this, and it had nothing to do with me.) It would be unrealistic for me to write her as a modern new woman. Wu Wa'er put the teacup on the table and said with a smile: "Men's affection is different from women's. If you are clumsy, the affection of the man's family is this cup of tea, and if she drinks it, you don't have it, and only one person can enjoy it. If you maintain it skillfully, then his love is like a well of water, and the lady can think about it. ”

Tang Yanyan was sullen when he heard it, and said hatefully: "In the next life, I will also be a man!" ”

Wu Wa'er remembered Yang Hao's various behaviors in Tokyo City, trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice, worrying about the family, maintaining care, and now running around, or being careful everywhere, couldn't help but sigh leisurely: "You only see the scenery of men, but you don't know that men have their own men's suffering, they are shouldered, how can the daughter's family know?" ”

With a turn of her eyes, seeing Tang Yanyan's boring appearance, Wu Wa'er suddenly smiled and said: "The itinerary is long, it's too boring, I have a card game, it's very interesting, can the lady spend time together?" ”

Tang Yanyan was stunned: "What is the leaf? Leaf cards? ”

Wu Wa'er smiled: "It's more interesting than the leaf card, this kind of card game is called mahjong, the rules are simple, Xing'er, call Zhang Niu'er in, take my jade mahjong." ”

Tang Yanyan is a card fan, she grew up in a large family, all kinds of card games are familiar, when I heard the interest, Wu Waer explained the rules to her, Tang Yanyan understood as soon as he heard it, only to feel that this kind of card game is all kinds of combinations, full of fun, can't help but want to try: "This card game is also interesting, I can't imagine that there is such a fun thing in Kaifeng." ”

Xing'er came in with a mahjong box, and when she heard this, she said proudly: "This kind of card game is our ......" was glared at by Wu Wa'er, and she changed her words: "Uh...... We Kaifeng Mansion South Yayuan made Yang Daren create, originally only in the brothel of the Qinglou, now many wealthy families, the common people, all like this kind of card game. ”

"It was created by Yang Hao?" Tang Yanyan said in his heart: "That guy taught me a very interesting way to move chess, I wonder what interesting things he has made now?" ”

The boat was moving leisurely, and a stone's throw ahead, a small boat was moving unhurriedly. Gongzi Zhe, Tong Zi Wu, village woman Tang, two boats between the three of them, but no one has paid attention to what relationship there will be between each other......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Bianhe River transportation was originally a day and night boat, lively and extraordinary, now Bianjing is short of grain, is making the old method to step up the transportation of grain, the river boats are endless. There are two small boats in front of the big ship of Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and the flags are placed, and the ordinary merchant ships and cargo ships are all sailing to the shore. Strengthened with the big sails and the two rows of oarsmen, the journey is also fast.

Murong Qiudrunk and Fang Zhengnan stood at the bow of the boat, the two personal entourages of Chu Zhaofu and Li Jin and Wu Xufei stood two or three steps away from the left, and Cheng Yu, Yang Hao, and Cheng Dexuan stood on the right side, talking and laughing in their own voices, and they were clearly distinguishing from each other.

Murong Qiu drunk and Fang Zhengnan whispered a few words, turned his head to look at Yang Hao and said: "Envoy Yang, you are the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, I don't know how to go south this time, how to stop, do you have a plan in your heart?" ”

Yang Hao said: "All the messengers have been dispatched, and the thousand-year-old Heavenly Patrol Hunting, just urging the local people to use their lives, so there is no need to have a certain place to go, you can go all the way, stop as you go, and deal with all kinds of difficulties at any time." ”

"Ridiculous!"

Murong Qiu smiled drunkly: "If you want a thousand years old to be aimless, stop and go, how much time will it take?" According to the old man's opinion, we should sail straight to the southernmost point, return from the tail, start from the farthest end, supervise the purchase and transportation of grain everywhere, such as making a net and coaxing fish, driving them with their lives, and wholeheartedly transporting them north. ”

Yang Hao explained: "Mr. Murong's words are wrong, time is not waiting, if you follow this method step by step, it will still be too late." The local officials are uneven, some are willing to work wholeheartedly, and some are inevitably prevaricating and prevaricating to profit from them. In this trip, we only need to prescribe the right medicine and deal with one place, which will have the effect of killing one and setting an example, and we will bring the ...... to the surface."

"Ignorance!"

Murong Qiu cocked his beard and sneered: "Looking at what you do in Nanya, the old man will know your character, hey!" It turns out that you are deliberately looking for people, trying to use harsh punishment to kill chickens and monkeys, my Great Song Dynasty has always treated scholars and officials preferentially, and never governed the country with harsh government and tyrannical laws, and you used the method of forcibly demolishing buildings in Bianjing to deal with Jianghuai officials, and there is no doubt that self-destruction is the Great Wall. ”

Yang Hao was very unhappy in his heart, but knowing that he was Zhao Pu's confidant, he still patiently explained: "Mr. Murong, you must know that the troubled times are heavy, and things are in a hurry, and now Kaifeng ......"

"Confused!"

Murong Qiu said impassionedly: "You are trapping His Royal Highness the King of Wei for injustice, in this way, how will the officials and scholars in the world view the King of Wei Chitose?" You are a reckless man who does not care about the interests ......"

Murong Qiu was drunk and spittle, and like the bilge river, he kept telling a lot of truths, Li Jin and Wu Xufei of the three envoys looked lively, Cheng Yu and Cheng Dexuan had a gloomy face, Cheng Dexuan wanted to come forward to theorize several times, but Cheng Yu was pulled, leaving only Yang Hao standing there and being drunk and belittled by Murong Qiu.

Yang Hao finally became angry, and changed color and said: "Mr. Murong, this time I went south, with His Royal Highness King Wei as the envoy, Yang and the third envoy Master Chu as the deputy envoy, Mr. Murong is just a staff member, I can only suggest, Yang is young and knowledgeable, and I need the guidance of Mr., but I don't need your guidance." Please also respect yourself! ”

Yang Hao said, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, although Murong Qiu was not an official, but as a confidant of the prime minister of the court, even if any of the hundred officials in the court did not respect him for three points, now Yang Hao did not give him face at all, and he was so angry that Murong Qiu was drunk and his face was blue and red for a while. On the side, Fang Zhengnan hurriedly persuaded him: "Haha, forget it, why should you ask the drunken brother to have the same knowledge as him, the mallet official, the forced demolition of Yang, there is such a unique one in the city of Bianliang, even the prince has eaten his deflated, and the drunken brother doesn't have to mind." ”

Mu Rong begged to get drunk and borrowed the slope to step down, and sneered: "Ignorant child, I don't know how thick the sky is!" He flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Cheng Yu saw the conflict between the two in his eyes, and with a smile, he pulled Cheng Dexuan to go to the cabin to find Yang Hao to drink.

Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, got on the boat and changed into ordinary civilian clothes, because he was in a hurry in the morning, he had not eaten, and asked the dining room to prepare porridge and dishes, and after eating, he washed and cleaned his face, and changed into a set of soft and comfortable Taoist clothes and a pair of soft-soled silk shoes, and then left his room, and went to the old man's cabin that he carried on the boat, and knocked lightly.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from the door.

"The time has come, student Dezhao, come to listen to the teacher's lecture."

The door squeaked open, the white-bearded old man stood at the door, Zhao Dezhao hurriedly bowed respectfully, the old man looked left and right outside the cabin, and said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, please come in." ”

When Zhao Dezhao entered the door, the old man closed the hatch and sat down behind the case, Zhao Dezhao also sat on the side, the old man stretched out his sleeves, glanced at him, and said: "This time I went south, there are many things to do, does Your Highness still want to listen?" ”

Zhao Dezhao arched his hand and said: "All the way, the study is still not delayed, and the students ask the teacher to go with them, which is what it means." ”

This old man's name is Zong Jiezhou, he is a learned Confucian, who was invited by Zhao Kuangyin to teach his eldest son's studies. Zong Jiezhou smiled, brushed his beard and said: "Your Highness, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, you have to read books along the way, and your schoolwork should not be left behind, but your master should not be an old man." ”

Zhao Dezhao was slightly surprised, and said respectfully: "The disciple is ignorant and doesn't know what he means, please ask the teacher for advice." ”

Zong Jiezhou grabbed the folding fan on the case, brushed the ground and unfolded it, slowly fanned it, and said slowly: "Along the way, the books that His Highness wants to read are between the mountains and rivers, and the lessons he wants to learn are in the world, and your mentor is not an old man, but Zhao Xiang, King Jin, and the three envoys, Your Highness should walk out of the cabin...... It will be beneficial to go among them and savor and figure it out. ”
