Chapter 020: Departure to Beijing
After two or three days, the ladies of the Feng Mansion were all in order, carrying boxes of He Yi Tuyi and preparing to go north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Beijing. Feng Zhengze, with the approval of the old lady, detained the two young masters in Hangzhou in order to raise his career. Feng Ming didn't have anything, he just suffered Feng Duo, who had always been unable to sit still, he originally thought that he could go to Yanjing in Tianhua, where he could fight, and live happily, but in the end, he thought too much.
When he arrived at the wharf, Yongning got off the sedan chair and saw two big boats moored on the shore, connected by wooden planks. The one in front of it was a serious official ship, and there was a group of people standing on the deck, and if you looked closely, it was the escort she saw in the mansion that day.
Yongning chuckled in his heart, could it be that the person also went with him? To be honest, Yongning didn't want to see him at all, because every time he met him, he was doing something inconsequential, which made him very embarrassed.
The women's box cage is much thinner and softer, and it took a whole morning to move it.
Yongning stood on the boat and looked at the turbulent river, only praying that the captain could drive the boat steadilyβshe was seasick!
It's a pity that she is very back, and not long after she set off, she began to feel dizzy and swelling with stomach acid; It's not sitting, it's not standing, and even lying down feels like the world is spinning.
Luo took care of her on the side, and Yun Chan went to invite Ma. Ma Shi looked at Yongning's half-dead appearance, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go and ask the doctor on Master Cheng's boat to come and have a look." β
After a while, the doctor came, and ordered Yun Chan to boil a few decoctions, and seeing that Yongning's symptoms were more serious, he immediately suggested: "Why don't you ask Miss Feng to go to Lord Cheng's boat?" The one is bigger, and it is more stable. β
Yongning still has a little consciousness, and when he says this, he just wants to roar angrily, "Don't go!" A breath of air came out of his throat but turned into a painful moan.
Fortunately, Ma Shi was a little hesitant: "This is a bit disturbing, besides, Lord Cheng's ship is full of big men, and it is not very convenient." β
The doctor said again: "It's okay, Master Cheng has ordered, since we are peers, we should naturally help if we have any difficulties." If the lady is not at ease, she can call someone to go with her. β
At this time, Ma had no reason to refuse, so he called Yun Chan to carry Yongning and Luo over together.
Yongning was lying on a strange bed, dreaming of her parents who she hadn't seen for a long time, and her long-loved neighbor brother, crying and laughing, Yun Chan thought she was insane and scared.
When she woke up, it had been two days and two nights, and she only felt hungry, so Luo quickly ordered the cook to cook and come up.
After eating, Yongning began to walk around, and put on his cloak and went out of the cabin, and the guards on that deck saw her, and all turned their backs in unison.
Yongning: "......"
There is no other fun to be found on the boat, Yongning usually either plays horse tags with a few maids, or chats with Yun Toad about life, and then simply moves a chair to go out to bask in the sun.
On this day, she was enjoying the sunshine, and when she was about to miss a pair of sunglasses, she saw a little guy with a corrugated hat carrying a bunch of books over.
"What is this?"
"Our lord said that if the young lady is bored, you can flip through these idle books."
ββ¦β¦β
Yongning couldn't help but look at the cabin at the top, and after taking the pile of books, she looked at it - it was all obscure literature and history books, but fortunately, it was not the Four Books and Five Classics, and she was already very satisfied.
She sat on the chair and took the book, and the wind was slow, and the book was really boring, so she simply spread out the book and covered her face to block the sun, and after a while, she was too empty.
I don't know how long it took, she felt that the white light in front of her eyes flickered, and the book on her face was taken away, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Master Cheng was standing with her hands on the side looking at herself, so frightened that she bounced up from the chair, hurriedly adjusted her clothes, coughed, and said a blessing to him.
"What, don't like it?"
Although it was indeed boring, Yongning couldn't say it directly, so he had to say euphemistically: "The adult is Bo Gu and the present, and he is only eight buckets high, and the books he reads are naturally Yangchun and Baixue, which can be understood by people like Riba like Xiaonu." β
"Clever tongue." How could Master Cheng not know that she was playing haha.
She had no choice but to smile.
"Do you know how to play chess?"
"What?" Yongning was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "It will be a little." β
Her father in her previous life was inspired to train her into a talented girl who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sent her to various interest classes early, but unfortunately she only mixed a Go section in the end.
"Then let's talk with me for a game." He set aside the book in his hand, and although it was in a nonchalant tone, it became an irresistible command with his identity.
βοΌβ Yongning didn't expect the direction of things at all, and stood stupidly in place, until Master Cheng, who was walking in front, looked back at her, and she followed as if she had just woken up from a dream.
After the two sat down in the study, the little maid brought the chessboard. The chess pieces are all made of fine ink jade and mutton fat jade, and the tentacles are warm.
At first, Yongning was quite uncomfortable in front of such big people, but then gradually threw himself into the chess game.
She was so engrossed in her mind that she didn't know that the person sitting across from her was actually only three points on the chessboard, and the rest of the time was all watching her.
Although Yongning is a rookie, he can still feel that this brother Tai is a master among masters, he can obviously solve the game quickly, but he wants to delay time, as if he intends to tease her.
After a few rounds, the person she was killed turned on his back, crying and begging for mercy.
Master Cheng also seemed to have abused the vegetables, nodded and let her go. Yongning was pardoned, and he went back to his cabin.
The cabins are separated by wooden planks and are poorly soundproofed. Lying on the bed, she could faintly hear Roche and Yun Toad chatting outside.
"Aunt Luo, what are you doing here, you are so angry, you charter such a big ship by yourself."
Luo Shi has been in the capital in the end, and he has never seen any big man, so he knocked on Yun Toad's skull with a pu fan: "You little hooves who have no eyesight, haven't you seen the guards of this ship?" If it weren't for the top three grades, how many people could follow? With his identity, not to mention one, ten ships are also worthy! β
"Sanpin?" Yun Chan's eyes widened, and he compared his fingers to three, "Bigger than our old man?" In Yun Chan's worldview, Feng Zhengze is already the biggest official she has ever seen.
Roche rolled his eyes.
Yun Chan leaned up again: "Then you say, what kind of official is this master?" β
"How do I know this, Sanpin is the emperor/emperor in the local area, but in the capital where there are many high-ranking officials, he grabs a lot of them."
"That's amazing!" Yun Chan sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but yearn for the meteorologically diverse capital more and more.
Yongning pondered after listening to it, this benevolent brother has such a high rank, and he is good friends with Feng Zhengze, there will definitely be no mention in the book. After thinking about it, she only thought of the number one person, whose scientific name is Cheng Tingxi, who is Cheng Minxing's uncle and teacher.
This brother Tai was originally a courtier of King Rong. After King Rong defeated King Yong and ascended to the throne, this person became a political enemy with his master (that is, the first assistant in the Yongtai period) Tang Cong, and fought against each other. Soon after, King Rong, who had just sat on the dragon chair, went to see Marx because of excessive drinking, leaving the queen and the crown prince as a pair of orphans and widows. Compared with Tang Cong, the mother and son obviously relied more on Cheng Tingxi, so this brother Tai and the eunuch Liu Yanlu often smeared Tang Cong in front of the crown prince, so that later Old Man Tang was forced to cause a bleak evening. Cheng Tingxi succeeded as the first assistant, and the officials pressed hundreds of bureaucrats, and he held great power.
Why does Yongning memorize this person's career history? Because after King Rong ascended the throne, Feng Zhengze, a clever opportunist, blindly curried favor with Old Man Tang (and even wanted to marry his original body to his son at first), but within a few days of good life, Tang Cong fell. Cheng Tingxi was strong and cleared the wilderness, beheading the former Tang Cong and his party, and exiled him. You must know that this ruthless man doesn't even let go of his own teacher, let alone a Feng family. Even if the Feng family has a queen, it will be difficult to escape the fate of being liquidated.
So except for Feng Yongying, who was lucky enough to marry Cheng Minxing, the Feng family was exiled to Ningguta.
Yongning hugged the futon tightly and wanted to cry without tears, she really got on the thief ship!
