Chapter Twenty-Three: The Boat Goes Too Fast
It is impossible for Yang Yuanfeng to know her, staring at her that day must have been because she shouldn't have been there at the time, and he was not the only one staring at her! She was uneasy, perhaps because she was too worried about the imminent departure. Li Qing shook his head slightly, as if to shake off these uneasiness, his brows furrowed slightly, and he changed the subject and asked:
"I heard that something happened in the house?"
Mama Zheng let out a long sigh, patted her hands gently, and said with emotion:
"It's only been a month's work, and that family looks like it's going to break up! In September, Aunt Yu had a miscarriage, and it was found out that the eldest young master put saffron in Aunt Yu's food, and the house was in trouble, and the lord beat the eldest young master, and made a heavy hand, until the tenth day of the first month of October, the second miss got married, and she didn't get out of bed, and it was also a disaster, the second miss got married was a happy event, but there was a big incident in the new house, and the girl knew that the king of Fukang County was dying, where did the second miss know? The second lady's temper made a fuss regardless of it, and she shouted that the one who worshiped the hall was her husband, and it was the fourth son of the palace who worshipped the king of Fukang County, and the bride in the house didn't know how to wait? ! actually let the second lady run out, grabbed the hand of the fourth prince and didn't let go, the palace was in chaos, the king of Fukang County disappeared that night, the lord and his wife knelt in the gatehouse of the palace for a day and a night, and no one paid attention. Yesterday I heard that the second lady was going to die alive, Mrs. fainted, woke up and made desperate trouble, to go to the palace to pick up the second miss, the lord said that she suffered from madness, let people tie her up and lock her in the house, Aunt Yu is also sick, and now, the house is presided over by Aunt Yan. ”
Li Qing was stunned, Yuhu had a miscarriage? Where did the second young master get the red flower? How did Li Minhua know who was in the church? Before she entered the new room and sat on the bed, she had to wear that heavy hijab, and she couldn't see anything but her toes! There must be four brides in the new house, Li Minhua is full of pearls and emeralds, wearing such a heavy dress, can he run out? You can also find the fourth son! What about the girls and grandmothers who accompany the marriage? The first word she shouts, and her mouth is gagged! How could she make such a big fuss?
Yuhu is a loyal person, if she is the one who presides over the middle feed in the house, Mrs. Li and the eldest young master can still get some care, but Yuhu has a miscarriage and is sick! Yinyan is in charge, Mrs. Li's madness is only afraid that it will not get better, what about the eldest young master? He is Li Yunsheng's only son, Li Yunsheng must always protect him!
Is Mrs. Moon satisfied?
Li Qing closed his eyes, how much hatred was there back then, and it could make Mrs. Wen not be able to eliminate even a little bit after ten years? To ruin her daughter, and then ruin her granddaughter! At the beginning, if Mrs. Li didn't intercept this family affair and married herself, Minhua, wouldn't it be better? ! If I hadn't planned to be a famous widow, wouldn't I be where I am today?
"Girl!"
Mama Zheng called her sternly, Li Qing came to her senses, she thought too much, and hurriedly stood up with her cotton clothes, stomped her feet gently, and said with a smile:
"Alright, alright! Mama, I'm fine. ”
Mama Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, the girl is too smart, she always thinks too much, which of these things is not their own fault!
The two talked for a while, and Mama Zheng reluctantly said goodbye and went out.
After a few days, a group of ten of them set off with the Korean mission, Yang Yuanfeng took care of them very much, went out every night and rested early, sent people to play the front station, rested as soon as the sun set, and arrived at the post station with hot water, hot food, clean bedding brought by themselves, everything was complete, and the arrangements along the way were extremely careful and thoughtful. The group didn't feel too hard, and after two or three days, they arrived at the Ping'an Wharf on the edge of Luoshui, where several big boats were already waiting.
Yang Yuanfeng took the main boat, Li Qing and the ten of them and a dozen or so mothers-in-law took another big boat. On the boat, the itinerary immediately tightened, along the way, when there is wind, it is to pull the sail day and night, when there is no wind, dozens of slender men take turns to pull the fiber, it is also dawn to start the boat, it is dark and you have to walk for a while before stopping the boat to rest, in addition to supplementing supplies along the way, passing by the dock market town, it is a non-stop.
After traveling for four days in a row, Li Qing was anxious, Lian Qing and they took the land route, how could they keep up like this?
On the fifth day, there was a grandmother on Li Qing's boat who was affected by the wind and was a little sick, and the heat started, and the guards on the ship were busy waving flags and reporting to the main ship, and the fleet was a little slower, and their boat leaned towards the main ship, and the boat board was set up on both sides, and an old man with a goatee followed an escort to Li Qing's boat, and carefully checked the pulse of the mother, and then let the woman carry the woman to the main ship, and then transferred from the main ship to the back boat.
The speed of the fleet hardly slowed down, and Li Qing couldn't sleep at night, looking at the little fishing fire sliding outside the window, pinching the jacket he was wearing, and secretly praying to the Bodhisattva:
"The Medicine King Bodhisattva forgives them and makes them suffer a little, but it is also a last resort, and Li Qing will definitely repay them heavily if he has the opportunity in the future."
The next day, some of the female officers on the ship also started to get hot, and the old man with a goatee came to check the pulse, saying that it was okay, but it was just a cold, and he was sent over with medicine to fry it.
The next day, the people with fever did not get better, but other people also started to heat one after another, and in the evening, more than half of them fell ill, and Li Qing was among them.
Yang Yuanfeng was a little anxious, so he stopped the boat, and stopped the boat to rest before the sun set for the first time in a few days. Yang Yuanfeng came over with a small servant to check, the old man with a goatee carefully explained the condition to him, it was an ordinary wind and cold, but the medicine was not very effective, Yang Yuanfeng frowned, the little guy next to him quietly pulled him, and said a few words in a low voice, Yang Yuanfeng nodded slightly, and called a mother-in-law to come over and order:
"Go in and ask them, have you ever been sick like this before? What kind of medicine do you remember? ”
The mother-in-law agreed to go in, and came back in a moment to report:
"They all said that they had given birth, and they all said that they couldn't remember the prescription, but two of them said that they used to take medicine while recuperating in a few days, and the other three said that sometimes they didn't take medicine, but only ate a lighter diet, and then recuperated quietly for ten days, but now they are too tired."
Yang Yuanfeng frowned, sitting on the big boat and walking, no matter how comfortable it was, he could be tired! Are you tired, or do you want to delay your trip? What do you want to do if you are delaying your trip? What's the scheme? Turning his head and looking at the little guy next to him, the little guy looked at him with a wry smile and said in a low voice:
"Qingren is weak, and she is a girl, she can't compare to us, and she is used to rapid marches. The master has instructed that not a single hair should be missing. ”
Yang Yuanfeng nodded helplessly, Qingren is a little weaker, this is another group of pampered girls, it's just that they can be tired when they sit on the boat! He really can't figure it out, what a bunch of headaches! Forget it, slow down, take it to Pingyang Mansion carefully, and hand it over to the prince for a headache.
From the next day, although it was still early and late to rest, it was almost half slower than the previous day and night, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and now Lian Qing and they were able to rush to the front.
The boat traveled for more than ten days, one day, at the end of the morning, the boat arrived at the Taoren Wharf, the end of the waterway of the trip, after the Taoren Wharf, Luoshui was divided into two, one was called Tsing Yi River, bent to Xi Di, one was called Baishui River, it was to Jindi. From Taoren Pier to Korea, there is only an overland route.
At their speed, it will take another seven or eight days to reach the Jinchuan Mansion adjacent to Qingguo and Handi, where the Jinchuan head people have led the mansion for generations, but the Jinchuan head people have changed it in three years and two years, so that the ownership of Jinchuan Mansion is chaotic, the order is changed every day, and almost all the places of all sizes are in their own ways, and it is not clear whether this is returned to Qingguo or belongs to Han Land. The place Li Qing chose was there, got out of Jinchuan Mansion, immediately returned to Taoren Wharf, and then took a boat along the Baishui River to Jindi. Taoren Pier was the first point where she and Lian Qing agreed to meet.
Out of the cabin, Li Qing lowered his head and straightened his cloak, here, all the rules can only be simple, they did not put up curtains when they got on and off the boat, the shore and the shore were clear on the boat, Li Qing walked slowly, hoping that Lian Qing and they could see themselves.
On the shore, everyone only felt that their feet were fluttering, their bodies seemed to be shaking, and they were a little unstable on their feet. There is no post station at Taoren Wharf, so Yang Yuanfeng ordered someone to charter a spacious and clean inn early, ready to let everyone rest for a day and go on the road tomorrow.
The guards escorted Li Qing and them into the backyard of the inn, into the innermost upper room, the mother-in-law was busy coming over to clean the room, and took out the futon to make the bed, took out the tea utensils, made tea and brought it up, ten people settled down in a room for each two, standing in the room still felt as if the body was still shaking, extremely uncomfortable, quickly lay down to rest, and did not get up to eat lunch.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Li Qing felt better, got up and sat on the chair, slowly drank tea, looked at Liu Xiuyu who was asleep on the bed next to her, frowned, and calculated the itinerary, as long as there were no accidents, Lian Qing and they must have arrived at this Taoren Wharf, Lian Qing is a careful person, as long as he arrives, he will definitely send someone to guard the wharf day and night, she should be able to see it when she gets off the boat just now, at this time, Lian Qing must be thinking about coming in to see her. While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone knocking lightly on the door outside the door, Li Qing pressed his hand on the table, but he didn't get up, he listened carefully with his ears sideways, the mother-in-law always knocked on the door and immediately pushed the door in, and the other people in the mission would not and should not come to their side.
