Chapter 180: Shipwreck
Master Shen stroked his beard and nodded: "It's good to go to Huaiyin City for a while, it is the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and the Dragon Boat Race will be held in Huaiyin City every year, which is very lively." β
"Really? Then I'm going to go! Lin Kite's eyes lit up when she heard this, she had encountered a lot of things one after another, and now she really wanted to have a good time.
"Let your brother come with you."
After getting the family's consent, Lin Yuan went to the county government to find Zhao Yun again, Zhao Yun has often run to the county government recently, because he feels that the new county order is really a material that can be made, and he has the intention to test and bring people under his command. Although he is an emperor, it is also important to have a few henchmen who really serve him.
The new county order is really a material that can be made, and it can be slowly promoted to more important official positions in the future.
Zhao Yun's matter was basically solved, and when he heard Lin Yuan say that he was going to Huaiyin City to play, he agreed without even thinking about it.
After deciding the travel goal, the departure time is set in the afternoon of the next day, the distance from Zheng'an City to Huaiyin City is not far, but the distance is quite complicated, because you have to take a carriage to the ferry outside the city, and then take a boat to walk down the Huaiyin River all night, after arriving at the ferry port of Huaiyin City, you also need to take a carriage into the city, after entering the city, the carriage will be abandoned, because there are few roads in the city, almost all the people in the city travel by boat or directly cross the bridge.
In the afternoon, Lin Yuan brought all kinds of snacks prepared by the restaurant to avoid starvation on the boat.
On this trip, Zhao Yun and Lin Yuan only brought General Guo, and the other guards stayed in Zheng'an City, and when the three of them came to the Shen Mansion, the Shen family also came out.
When Mrs. Shen and Master Shen saw Lin Yuan, they hurriedly pulled her and advised: "In the past few days of playing, you must pay attention to safety, and you must tell your brother if you encounter anything, if your brother can't solve it, send someone back to tell us." β
Shen Fu: "Dad, mother, don't worry, I will take care of my sister." β
Zhao Yun hasn't been on the door of the Shen family much in the past few days, but he hasn't thought about it yet, if the people of the Shen family ask about his identity, should he lie or tell the truth? If it were someone else, he would definitely lie, but Master Shen and Mrs. Shen were Lin Kite's father and mother, his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, if they really lied, it would not feel good.
But sooner or later, this problem will have to be faced.
"The son-in-law will definitely take care of the kite."
Master Shen and Mrs. Shen couldn't say how they felt about Zhao Yun, they only felt that although this person was extraordinary, the city government was too deep, and there was nothing about his background, and the answer they got from the new county order was "No one can afford to mess with this person."
Lin Yuan glanced at Zhao Yun and muttered in a low voice: "Whose son-in-law are you!" β
Her voice was quite small, but everyone still heard it, and at this moment, Mrs. Shen and Master Shen's expressions became more complicated, and they didn't know what the relationship between their baby daughter and this mysterious Zhao Gongzi was.
"This ...... Kites, ...... you?"
According to the news that came back, Mrs. Shen and Master Shen were very sure that Lin Yuan and Zhao Yun were not husband and wife, and Zhao Yun had not admitted it in person before, and Lin Yuan deliberately changed the topic every time she talked about it.
However, Shen Fu had already guessed Zhao Yun's identity, but he never said it.
Lin Yuan tugged at Mrs. Shen's sleeve and coquettishly said: "Mother, you just treat him as my fiancΓ©, the kind who may break up at any time." β
said that they could break up at any time, but their faces couldn't help but flush, obviously looking like a girl with a spring, break up? I guess it's not that easy.
"As for his identity...... Lin Yuan hesitated a little, "I really can't tell you now, in short, with him, no one can bully me." β
Zhao Yun glanced at General Guo, and General Guo intentionally or unintentionally showed the waist card on his waist, although he didn't know how to tell the Shen family his identity, but he could give them a hint, if the Shen family was smart, I believe they would definitely understand who he was.
If you knew who he was, you wouldn't have asked any more.
Sure enough, after Master Shen saw the waist card on General Guo's waist, his face immediately changed greatly, and he led Mrs. Shen together, respectfully bowing his hand to Zhao Yun: "Then there is Lao Zhao Gongzi to take care of Kite and Fu'er." β
"I'm going to take care of them."
After inspecting what they were to bring, they got into the carriage and set off.
Zhao Yun and Lin Kite only brought General Guo, but Shen Fu brought a maid and a small maid, the maid was specially brought to Lin Kite, I was afraid that Lin Kite needed someone to take care of him on the road, and as for the little guy, he was doing some rough work.
After getting on the boat, Lin Kite began to be drowsy, and it was not until the middle of the night that there was a sudden noise outside, and Lin Kite woke up.
When she woke up, she saw a red candle light lit in the house, swaying, and there was no wind in the house, and the reason why it was swaying was because the boat was shaking so much.
Through the window paper, you can see that there are also people outside, and the sound is noisy, as if something is wrong.
Lin Yuan was about to get up and go out to have a look, when he saw Zhao Yun coming in, with some moisture on his body.
"Are you awake, kite?"
"Well, what's going on out there?"
Zhao Yun walked over, took a cloak from the shelf next to him, and put it on Lin Kite: "It's raining heavily." β
Lin Yuan frowned, in ancient times this kind of underdeveloped place, the stability and firmness of the ship are not as good as the modern one, the boat encounters heavy rain, it is not a good thing, although this is not the sea, but the Huaiyin River is not a small river, the rain will cause the river to breathe, and the ship with poor quality may sink or be scattered by the flood.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's face suddenly turned bad: "Nothing happened to our ship, right?" β
Zhao Yun shook his head: "This ship is the Shen family's ship, it is very strong, so naturally nothing can happen." However, we came across a ship that had an accident, and the exact circumstances are not yet known. β
"Big boat, small boat?"
"It should be a government ship, it's not big, the details are not clear, and all the people on board have not been rescued."
The government boat, that is, the boat of the general rich and noble family, like Lin Kite, the boat they are sitting on now is the Shen family's house boat, but the business of the Shen Mansion is large, and the house boat is naturally a little larger than the boat of other mansions, and not all families have a government boat, generally only the people who enter the ferry port or those who do water business will have it.
Lin Kite listened anxiously, and after putting on her shoes, she decided to go out and have a look by herself.
At this time, there were many people standing on the deck of the ship, including the sailors on the ship, as well as Shen Fu and General Guo.
Zhao Yun took an umbrella out of nowhere, and walked to the deck with Lin Yuan to take a look.
The boat that was about to sink was not far in front of Lin Kite's boat, it was a little small, and it seemed that it might disappear into the wind and rain at any time, and there was a dark blue sail hanging on the boat, with a huge "Qiu" embroidered on it.
"It seems to be the ship of Qiu Mansion in Huaiyin City." Some sailors recognized the ship.
"It looks like it's going to sink, and I don't know what's going on."
"It's unlucky, too."
The people on the boat of Qiu Mansion saw Lin Kite and their boat and were calling for help in this direction.
Shen Fu had already ordered people to drive the boat that way, and not long after Lin Yuan came out, the two boats approached, and the sailors first fixed the distance between the two ships with ropes, and then used wooden planks to build a bridge, so that the people on the Qiu Mansion boat could be transferred from the planks one by one.
Fortunately, there are not many people on the boat in Qiufu, there are only eight people in total, and it is surprising that the young lady from Qiufu is also there!
It was a girl with a beautiful face and a wonderful figure, only seventeen or eighteen years old, with that baby face with some baby fat, she looked very cute.
The clothes on her body were soaked by the rain, and the already light clothes were only attached to the convex and backward body, which made everyone blush and heartbeat, and Lin Kite, who was a woman, couldn't take their eyes off it.
But the young lady of the Qiu family seemed to be quite frightened, her face was pale, and the whole person looked a little stunned, and the maid who followed her was even more frightened, crying vigorously, and even her own young lady was about to be looked at by outsiders.
Lin Yuan was about to take off the cloak on his body to cover up Miss Qiu's family, but Shen Fu, who had been helping to save people in front, took off his own cloak one step ahead of Lin Kite, and directly covered Miss Qiu from head to toe under the wide cloak.
The view was blocked, Miss Qiu couldn't see the road, and she didn't know what she stepped on, so she stumbled and fell forward.
Shen Fu quickly picked up the person horizontally, ignored the eyes of the people around him, and sent the person back to the house directly.
"Wow, my brother's boyfriend is max! Handsome! Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.
Zhao Yun was puzzled: "What boyfriend power?" β
Lin Yuan waved his hand, unable to explain: "It's nothing, it just means that my brother is doing well!" Very good! β
Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of one more thing, her brother carried a young lady who had not left the cabinet back to the room in front of so many people, and spread it out, wouldn't he marry a little girl?
But think about it, if you marry, you can marry it, look at the good-looking girl just now, if she has a good temperament, it is not bad to be her sister-in-law.
After a while, all the people on the Qiu Mansion ship were transferred, and the sailors removed the ropes and planks that connected the two ships, and it was not long before the Qiu Fu ship disappeared into the rain, and I don't know whether it was drifting away or having sunk.
The rescued people were all arranged in the hall inside the ship, and the clothes that should be changed were changed, and the people who should be frightened were shocked.
Lin Yuan went back to his room, found a clean dress that he brought out with him and sent it to Shen Fu's room, and happened to meet Shen Fu at the door.
"Brother, I'll send Miss Qiu a set of clean clothes."
"Well, go ahead, she...... It seems that she is frightened, and if it is convenient for my sister, I can accompany her in the house. Shen Fu dropped a sentence and left, his back looking like he had fled.
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and she shouted at Shen Fu's back: "Brother, why don't you accompany Miss Qiu in person?" β
Shen Fu ran faster.
"Haha." Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing, she felt that her brother was shy!
Pushing open the door, Lin Yuan saw Miss Qiu huddled on the bed, covered with a quilt, trembling, and seemed to be very scared.
