Lu Yan suddenly came back to his senses, thanked the little chamberlain, and confessed to his colleagues, and then hurriedly walked outside the palace.

Outside the palace gate, Qingyuan was walking along the palace wall with an anxious face, and when he saw Lu Yan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Childe......" Qingyuan hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Yan raised his hand slightly, signaling him not to speak yet.

Qingyuan understood, immediately shut up, hurriedly followed behind Lu Yan, and walked to a remote corner where no one was around, only then did he hear Lu Yan ask unhurriedly, "But what happened at home?" ”

Qingyuan shook his head: "Don't worry, Childe, everything is fine at home, but something happened in the shop." ”

Lu Yan heard that there was nothing to do at home, and the expression on his face was even more relaxed: "What can be the matter on the shop, you just look at it, and you have to run to the palace to find me." ”

"Childe, something happened on the ship." Qingyuan didn't dare to hide anything, and without waiting for Lu Yan to ask, he made things clear.

"This time the fleet went to sea for a long time, and the subordinates were a little worried, so they sent people to wait at the Tongzhou wharf, but they waited for them to come back, but only two cargo ships came back."

The fleet in Lu Yan's hands is not large, with a total of only seven or eight cargo ships, but every time he goes to sea, only half of them travel with other fleets.

This time it was the same, their fleet and several other familiar caravans, a total of more than 20 cargo ships, headed for the South Seas together.

In the past, although there would be some wind and waves along the way, it was better because there were many people on the boat, so there was always no danger and returned to the capital smoothly.

But the loss of half of the ships in this trip has never happened before.

"What the hell is going on, is it like this in the others?" Lu Yan frowned slightly, but his voice was still calm.

"It's all like this, the subordinates have liquidated it, we are good, but half of the seven or eight boats of the Cui family have not returned."

Lu Yan's brows furrowed even deeper: "There was such a heavy loss." ”

"Yes, my subordinates inquired about the returning crew, and they said that they had encountered a Japanese coward."

When Lu Yan heard the word "倯寇", his fingers were tightly clenched together.

In his previous life, the Japanese invaders frequently harassed Dachen's borders, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress them many times, but there was no good effect.

Previously, when he formed a fleet and wanted to go out to the South Sea, he also considered the matter of the Japanese invaders. However, their fleet reached Canton via the canal and then sailed to the South Seas, and the area where the Japanese were active was only on the Shandong side.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan turned his head to look at Qingyuan and asked again, "Can the casualties be serious?" Where did they meet the Wakos? ”

Qingyuan thought for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "The casualties of our business are not large, but a lot of goods have been lost, and according to the crew members who have returned, they are the Japanese who met in the area of Guangzhou. ”

It has already arrived in Guangzhou, but the funny thing is that there is not half of the fold that has been transmitted to the capital.

"I know," Lu Yan's expression didn't change much, "The cargo is a trivial matter, you go back to comfort the families of the crew members who were killed, and compensate some more money." ”

"As for this matter of going to sea," Lu Yan pursed his thin lips slightly, "Let's let it go for a while." ”

"Yes." Qing Yuan got the order, arched his hand to Lu Yan, and turned around to leave, but heard Lu Yan call him again.

"At home," Lu Yan hesitated a little, "Is the eldest girl okay?" ”

Qingyuan remembered what Tang Niangzi had said to him today, so he nodded and said, "Girl, everything is fine, and now I want to open some more." ”

"That's fine." Lu Yan sighed lightly, "Then you go back first." ”

……

Su Man was all right at home, although Xie forbade her feet, but he didn't shorten her food. After yesterday's persuasion from Tang Niangzi, she also wanted to open it, so she returned to her previous heartless appearance.

However, this idea only lasted until Mama Feng came.

Mama Feng has a special status, so she will go back to her yard after arranging Yiranzhai on weekdays. Her small courtyard is not very far from Yiranzhai, so if the little girls have something to ask, they will take two more steps and go directly to Mama Feng's courtyard.

So since Su Man talked back to Xie yesterday and was punished and grounded, Su Man has not seen Mama Feng.

"Girl, Mama Feng is here." Su Man was reclining on the big kang near the window in the west room, looking at a miscellaneous book that he didn't know where to get it.

Hearing Hongmei say this, Su Man hurriedly sat up and looked out of the window sash.

Mama Feng was held by the little girl and was coming along the hand-copying verandah to the main house.

Su Man hurriedly stuffed the miscellaneous notes under the pillow, and beckoned Hongmei to throw it aside and copy the general Diamond Sutra and bring it over, and put it on the couch, while he grabbed a pen at random and looked like he was repenting.

Mama Feng asked the little girl to wait at the bottom of the corridor, and she pushed the door into the main room.

Hongmei greeted her with a smile, opened the curtain for Mama Feng with her own hands, and said, "The girl is copying scriptures in the house at this time." ”

Mama Feng hummed lightly with a straight face, and then lowered her head and entered the western room.

Su Man made a look that he had just heard the movement, and hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, jumped off the kang, and saluted Mama Feng: "Mama is here." ”

Mama Feng leaned over slightly, received Su Man's half-salute, and sat on the edge of the kang.

Su Man thought that Mama Feng was angry and ignored her because of what she talked to Xie yesterday, so she laughed dryly, got up and went back to sit on the kang.

Mama Feng stretched out her hand and took the scriptures on the couch, looked at them for a while, and then said lightly: "Girl, this scripture is copied for Mrs.?" ”

Su Man looked at the untidy regular script on the rice paper, and laughed twice: "Yesterday's incident must have been known to my grandmother, it was my fault that I upset my mother, but I didn't know what to do, so I had to copy the scriptures and pray for my mother and unborn brother." ”

Mama Feng hummed lightly, turned two more pages, and said slowly: "Yesterday's incident, the old body listened to the girl with a broken mouth. ”

Su Man knew that Mama Feng came out of the palace, and the rules were the most important. Contradicting her mother like this, in her opinion, this can be regarded as a great crime of disobedience.

She laughed dryly for a while, and was about to explain a few sentences, but she heard Mama Feng continue: "Although Mrs. Bo is a little anxious, she has a heart of love for her daughter after all. Even if you don't want to, you should try it slowly, why bother to directly confront her, and it didn't hurt the love of the mother and daughter. ”

Su Man couldn't help but widen his eyes when he said this, and looked at Mama Feng with some incredulity: "Mama doesn't think that I contradict my mother, and I don't know how to be polite when I ask about family affairs, and I am disobedient and unfilial?" ”

Mama Feng slowly put the scriptures in her hand on the couch, and then raised her eyes to look at Su Man, and the words in her mouth were still heavy and emotionless.

"The old body has been with the girl for many years, and the old body thinks that he still knows something about what kind of character the girl is."

"It's just a girl, you are now in Bofu, and no one will blame you because of your temperament, but if you become a relative in the future, it is better to restrain yourself."
