In fact, there were four men, two women, and six people in this exquisitely made boat, which was rented a finger a day. Of course, the various servants in the front and rear cabins are not counted.

Among these six people, Wang Yu's little lady is the most beautiful one, so she is naturally the focus of the crowd. She froze and immediately attracted the attention of others.

Following the gaze of Little Lady Wang, she saw a young man wearing a half-new green robe sitting on the small grasshopper boat below. It looks like a scholar, and his appearance is good, and he is also looking at this side frequently.

"Who is this person? Did Miss Wang know him? Someone immediately asked. Wang Yu replied with mixed feelings: "It's an old friend." ”

The man asked, "Do you want to come up and talk to him?" Wang Yu nodded lightly.

So the painting boat stopped next to the little grasshopper, and several servants worked together to move out of the pedal and shouted to Fang Yingwu: "My master told you to come up and talk!" ”

Fang Yingwu sat still, facing Wang Xiaoniang through the water and said loudly: "Please Miss Wang come down." ”

Wang Yu saw Fang Yingwu's indifferent demeanor, his heart shrank suddenly, and somehow subconsciously got up and stood up, and he really wanted to get out of the cabin and get off the boat, but was pulled by the female companion next to him, "Sister Yu, are you confused?" ”

Fang Yingwu smiled dumbly, it can be seen from this small action that Little Lady Wang is not as ruthless as her father.

However, the painting boat is full of righteous indignation, and the poor acid below is simply too rampant! Someone poked his head out, and the other party scolded: "You don't know anything about it, and it is your three lives lucky to spare you to come up!" The woman is delicate and weak. How easy to move? ”

Fang Yingwu snorted lightly, if it weren't for the little lady Wang on the painting boat. I want to say a few words to Little Lady Wang, otherwise he will disdain to swim in the same boat with this group of people who don't seem to be literate.

The pedals are up. Fang Yingwu went to the opposite painting boat. The middle cabin is quite spacious, and it is more than enough for ten people, but now there are only six people, so the space is much larger, and there is no need to crowd people.

But Fang Yingwu was unceremonious, and sat beside Wang Xiaoniang as if no one was around, which made the rest of the men angry. But Little Lady Wang didn't dodge, and let this poor sour squeeze her to sit one by one.

The two have been accustomed to each other since childhood, and Little Lady Wang doesn't have any special feelings about her next to her. Naturally, it was different for other men.

Fang Yingwu didn't bother to deal with other people, and he didn't see the courtesy, so he only turned his head sideways and talked to Wang Xiaoniang: "I went to your house last night, do you know?" ”

"The slave family heard about it."

Fang Yingwu asked: "Then you didn't come out?" I wanted to ask you how you're doing. ”

Wang Yu said helplessly: "Father doesn't allow it." ”

Fang Yingwu sneered a few times, looked around and said, "Then you are traveling with these people today, is Ling Zun allowed?" ”

Little Lady Wang hung her head for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "This father knows and does not stop it." ”

Fang Yingwu felt very meaningful when he heard this, in today's social environment. What does it mean for an unmarried woman to travel with other men of the same age?

Although the Wang family is not a high-ranking family, Wang Xiaoniang grew up in a mountain village and is used to running outside. Now she is the only daughter of a businessman who may need to show her face, but after all, she still lives in this world, and she is still affected by the hearts of the world.

Think about it. Fang Yingwu raised his hand and casually pointed at a few men around him. "These are your father's candidates for the East Bed?"

"What do you mean by the east bed?" Wang Xiaoniang was puzzled. Fang Yingwu explained: "It's the fast son-in-law of Chenglong!" ”

"Brother Qiu, don't talk nonsense!" Little Lady Wang's face turned slightly red and she felt very embarrassed. Her mind was chaotic for a while, and she didn't know how to talk to Fang Yingwu.

Fang Yingwu didn't seem to see the embarrassment of Little Lady Wang, and said with a smile: "It seems that Sister Yu is very popular, when you and I had a three-year appointment in Huaxi, and now there is still a year, but we met in advance, do you say that this agreement is still counted?" ”

Originally, others saw that Fang Yingwu was talking endlessly with Wang Xiaoniang, and was about to interrupt the conversation, but suddenly heard this ambiguous "three-year covenant", so they closed their mouths again and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

Mrs. Wang replied sadly: "The slave family really doesn't know how to get better, my father said that I am eighteen."

Fang Yingwu always kept smiling, and it could be seen that Little Lady Wang had not completely forgotten herself, but she replied like this, indicating that her mood was still shaken, no matter what the reason.

After two years of separation from a young girl who has not yet developed psychologically, it is not surprising that there will always be some alienation in her heart. The human heart is never fixed, and the age of sixteen to eighteen is one of the most rapid stages of mental and physical growth.

Under the strong pressure of his father, it is actually commendable that he can stick to the agreement until now and only waver slightly.

Wang Xiaoniang was somehow a little ashamed in the face of Fang Yingwu at this time, and said separately: "These are all friends who have dealings with our Wang family on weekdays, and all of them are local handsome figures, and the slave family will help you introduce them, which is also good for you." ”

I don't care what their identity is, what big people can they make friends with the level of the Wang family and Wang De's vision?

So Fang Yingwu only sighed to himself: "Sister Yu, do you know what your father or you missed?" ”

Wang Yu couldn't understand Fang Yingwu's words, but his movements did not stop, and he pointed to the young man in Chinese clothes on Fang Yingwu's right hand and introduced: "This is the son of Zheng Inspector of the Beixinguan Inspection Division, if you encounter any inconvenience locally, you can ask him for help." ”

It seems to be the one who came out to curse just now? Fang Yingwu pouted, under normal circumstances, the first one to be introduced must be the most valuable.

Hangzhou Beixinguan is one of the eight major banknote (tax) customs in the world, located outside the Wulin Gate of Hangzhou City. Although the Beixinguan Inspection Department is not the person in charge of the banknote customs, it can be regarded as a very powerful snake in the Wulinmen Canal Business District, and its real power is not small. It's no wonder that Wang Dahu has an idea, and he is indeed a very affordable son-in-law candidate.

But this kind of identity is still too much in Fang Yingwu's eyes, and the most valuable ones are only this grade. Others can imagine. Mrs. Wang is really long-haired and short-sighted, and she is similar to his father. However, women can be forgiven for being short-sighted.

Fang Yingwu waved his hand impatiently at Little Lady Wang, and shouted softly: "No need to introduce!" But Erl. Waste of time. ”

Little Lady Wang finally discovered that the Qiu brother in front of her was very different from the Qiu brother in her memory, her appearance was still the same look, just a little more wind and frost, but her inner temperament was completely different from before.

If it is someone else who may not be able to distinguish this difference, but Wang Xiaoniang can feel it, but she can't describe it in words.

No one in Fang Yingwu's eyes finally provoked others again, and the son of the inspector suddenly slapped the case and shouted: "You poor sour." I don't know what to do, haven't you learned a lesson! ”

The other three men scolded together, and the house slaves outside the cabin were eager to try, and they could do it just after their young master spoke.

Fang Yingwu frowned and said coldly: "Your surname is Zheng?" If you want your father to continue to do the inspection, be quiet! ”

The tone of this statement was too loud, causing an uproar. Wang Xiaoniang was very strange, Fang Yingwu didn't like to brag in the past. How did Zaijian learn to pretend to be this kind of tune?

She has also witnessed the majesty of Master Zheng of the Inspection Division, and she can decide big and small things on one acre and three points of land from Beiguan to the canal, which can be called the overlord, who doesn't respect three points for thousands of merchants? Even the county and the government also have Mr. Zheng's backers. It's still talkative.

Other bystanders watched the excitement, but this Young Master Zheng, as the party concerned, was shocked, and he couldn't figure out the depth of the poor scholar in front of him for a while.

But if it's a bluff. And he was frightened again, so it would be a big talk. Come and think about it. Zheng Gongzi said with a smile: "When you get to the shore, invite Friend Fang to drink a few glasses of wine." I also hope to enjoy the light. ”

He didn't want to be too rude in front of Wang Xiaoniang's sweetheart, so he still waited on the shore to find out the details before deciding, seeing that Fang Yingwu was dressed shabby, and he didn't even have an entourage, and most of them wouldn't be an important role.

Fang Yingwu didn't care about Young Master Zheng's little abacus, he suddenly thought of something, "Please also ask Sister Yu to continue to introduce, who are these people?" ”

Little Lady Wang didn't understand why Fang Yingwu was suddenly interested in these identities again, but it would be a good thing if she could use this to expose the bad atmosphere just now.

She still didn't want to see Fang Yingwu suffer in her heart, so she hurriedly introduced them one by one: "This is the Jiang family of Beiguan Silk Line"

Gradually, the evening approaches, the cruise ships on the West Lake have leaned towards the wharf, and the visitors go ashore to enter the city, and the wharf is crowded and messy for a while.

The painting boat where Fang Yingwu was located easily aimed at a vacancy, and was about to sail in, but the other painting boat forcibly inserted into the channel, and the house slaves on the two painting boats were angry and scolded each other.

When he stumbled ashore, Young Master Zheng, who was in charge today, felt a great loss of face, and saw that the number of servants over there was slightly smaller, not like a wealthy family, so he rushed up and scolded a person: "The thief kills talent, don't you have eyes on the ship!" ”

Someone over there immediately shouted, "The political envoy Yamen is here, who dares to be rude!" ”

Young Master Zheng was immediately dumbfounded, the political envoy Si Yanei should be the son of the provincial political envoy Ning Liangning.

This dynasty dismissed the governor of Zhejiang three years ago, so this Zuobu political envoy can be called the highest magistrate. What's more, Mr. Ning has been a political envoy in Zhejiang for fifteen years, and his actual authority is not much smaller than that of the governor.

He is not even as good as an ant compared to Ning Gongzi, and today is really unfavorable, why did he commit the crime of the biggest prince in this province?

There was a scholar in Chinese costumes in his thirties, who walked up to Young Master Zheng and said unhappily: "I'm Ning Shigu, why don't I have eyes?" ”

Ning Gongzi was like a celestial figure to Young Master Zheng and the others, and he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Fang Yingwu was standing behind, and he took the initiative to walk forward, wanting to stand out from the crowd and say a few words. Sun Xiaoniang pulled Fang Yingwu tightly, and whispered with concern: "Be careful not to step forward, so as not to suffer from the seedlings." ”

Fang Yingwu patted Sun Xiaoniang's hand and soothed: "But rest assured." Then he walked out of the crowd and saluted Ning Shigu with a fist: "In Xia Chun'an, Fang Yingwu, a member of the Sheng, has seen Senior Ning. ”

Seeing that it was a scholar, Ning Shigu also returned the salute lightly. Fang Yingwu continued: "In the next substitute business, Shang Su'an Gong greets Uncle Fang. ”

Hearing the words "Shang Su'an Gong", Ning Shigu's eyes tightened, his expression became serious, and he saluted Fang Yingwu again: "It turned out to be Brother Fang Xian." ”

The people who painted the same boat with Fang Yingwu were all inexplicable, although they understood that this was a scholar's trick, but they still couldn't understand what these two were saying. I just felt that the two of them had a few dumb riddles, and then they began to call each other brothers, as if it was another shijie thing entirely.

Little Lady Wang covered her mouth and couldn't believe it, in her heart, she was more likely to be a poor student, but at this time she suddenly became very unfamiliar.

Hearing the name of the merchant, Ning Shigu did not dare to be disrespectful. Because Shang Liang was the champion of the orthodox decade, and Ning Liang was the Jinshi of the orthodox decade, the two had a very close relationship in the same year. Moreover, Ning Liangguan was the political envoy of Zhejiang, and he was also arranged by Shang Shi when he was in the court, so Fang Yingwu had no fear.

Then Ning Shigu pointed to Young Master Zheng and the others and asked, "These people and you"

"They have nothing to do with me, you can dispose of it casually, it doesn't matter if you break your legs and feet, just don't touch them." Fang Yingwu suddenly pointed at Wang Yu and said, "By the way, and that little lady also let go, don't touch her." ”

Ning Shigu smiled dumbly, this Fang Yingwu is a very interesting person. His words are clearly implying that "if you want to see my face, you must clean them up".

The amount is small and not a gentleman, just on the grasshopper and on the painting boat, Fang Yingwu didn't know how many times he was scolded, if he wanted to be able to spit lightly and dry himself, it would be too cowardly.

Of course, Fang Yingwu can also be regarded as indirectly letting Wang Dewang block his heart. He didn't like Wang De out of affection, but it was also very interesting to clean up the "young talents" in Wang Dexiang's picture one by one.

Fang Yingwu said to himself: "I originally wanted to write down their names and make plans in the future." I didn't expect to meet Buzheng Yanai here, what a coincidence. ”

The little lady Wang, who had been pulled to her side, suddenly understood, no wonder Fang Yingwu was dismissive at first, but later changed her mind, remembering the names and origins of these people one by one, it turned out to be this thought

She remembered Fang Yingwu's words again—do you know what you're missing? At this time, I also faintly woke up.

Today's Brother Qiu is no longer the poor man in the countryside who bends his waist for a few taels of silver, he looks like a big man, and he is already an unimaginable status, and even the son of the old man's family has to call him a brother and sister. Is she still worthy of Brother Qiu now?

If two years ago, my father was not so snobbish, or my father was not so shallow last night, or he was more resolute, then he was still expected to become a bad wife with his old feelings.

But now? Little lady Wang covered her heart and felt very painful. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)

PS: It's not that I'm lazy, the more I write, the more I write, the more I write, and I tinker with it, but I have been writing until now, and I have made a big chapter, which is equivalent to a normal chapter and a half.
