Chapter Ninety-Nine: The scenery is not the same as the four seasons
Back in the house, Huo Roufeng did not enter the house, and stood under the wisteria trellis in a daze.
Cai Qin hurriedly walked over and called the Ninth Master, Huo Roufeng came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Cai Qin lowered her voice and said: "Hua Sanniang asked the little maid to go to Mama Fang to ask for a pair of cards, saying that she was going out to buy something, you see if you want people to follow." ”
Since Hua Sanniang came to Hangzhou, she has been living in the depths, except for the old man who came to her last time, she has not seen anyone else.
Huo Roufeng became interested and said to Cai Qin: "You tell Zhang Shengping to be careful." ”
Hua Sanniang is not an ordinary woman, the last time Huang Ling followed her, she still let her send the news out under her nose.
The last time the news was sent out by Huo Roufeng, and this time, Huo Roufeng wanted to know who Hua Sanniang was.
She's definitely not just an entourage.
It wasn't until Zhang Shengping left that Huo Roufeng remembered that she was standing under the wisteria trellis just now because she was feeling that she was about to leave Hangzhou.
Moreover, she just learned to fish with Xie Sicheng......
It turns out that the sad wind and autumn are like this.
She squatted down and scribbled on the bluestone slab with a branch, she liked to see Xie Sicheng, and she also liked to listen to Xie Sicheng, Xie Sicheng had a sense of familiarity from her bones, she always felt that they knew each other, and they had known each other for a long time.
But why did Xie Sicheng take the initiative to approach her?
Could it be that he also has a sense of familiarity with her, could it be that she is his long-lost brother?
No, she's a woman, Xie Sicheng won't know that she's a woman.
Huo Roufeng was thinking wildly, as if she had thousands of thoughts in her head, but she couldn't figure it out.
She scribbled on the ground alone, until her calves were numb, then she stood up, staggered to the stone drum, picked a pine nut candy and chewed it.
The little girl ran in and was glared at by Cai Qin, the little girl hurriedly slowed down and walked over cautiously: "Ninth Master, there is a Yang Gongzi ......"
Before the little girl finished speaking, Huo Rou stood up suddenly, her legs were numb, and she sat back with an ouch: "Hurry up, let him come in." ”
The little girl ran out, Cai Qin rolled her eyes at her back, this haunting Yang Gongzi found Hangzhou, and the ninth master was about to be taught by him.
A moment later, Zhang Ting led Zhanhuai in,
He wore a straight jacket in the color of Hulan, his black hair was tied up with a few southern pearls, and he didn't see it for a few days, Zhanhuai lost a little weight, and his bronzed skin was much whiter, but his eyes were brighter.
There was a smile on his lips, and when he saw Huo Roufeng, this smile spread.
"Xiao Jiu, did you miss me?" As he spoke, he honestly and unceremoniously sat down on the stone drum opposite Huo Roufeng.
Huo Roufeng had no choice but to say to Cai Qin, who had already cooled down: "You all retreat." ”
Up and down the Huo family, only Mrs. Huo and her know Zhanhuai's true identity, and it is not the time for others to know for the time being.
The little maid came up with the iced mung bean soup, and Cai Qin retreated with everyone.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, Huo Roufeng angrily threw a cherry towards Zhanhuai: "I thought you were going to pay the bill." ”
Zhanhuai caught the cherry, ate it in one bite, spit out the core, and said to Huo Roufeng: "I don't pay the bill?" I'm afraid you'll pay the bill, don't forget, you still owe me three thousand taels of silver. ”
Huo Roufeng snorted coldly, and stretched out her little hand as smooth as jade: "What about the name of the Duke of Min?" ”
Three thousand taels of silver is nothing, even thirty thousand taels can't be exchanged for the name of the Duke of Min.
"Where's my jade pendant?" Not to be outdone, Zhanhuai also stretched out a hand.
His hands were twice as big as Huo Roufeng's, and there were thick calluses on his fingers, which looked like they were left over from years of martial arts practice.
Huo Roufeng asked, "Did you bring the name post?" You take out the name card, and I will return the jade pendant to you. ”
Last time in Wuxi, the reason why Zhanhuai wanted to press the jade pendant to her was because he didn't carry the name of the Duke of Min with him.
He is in Wuxi these days, and it is impossible to return to Fujian, unless the name is obtained from other places, he will not be able to get it now.
This is also something that Huo Roufeng can't rest assured, before that, she was also worried that she would go to the capital and show her money for it.
Zhan Huai laughed, glanced at Huo Roufeng, and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, do you miss me?" ”
Huo Roufeng gave him a roll of his eyes: "I miss your father's name, what do you want you to do?" ”
Zhanhuai laughed again, laughing inexplicably Huo Roufeng, is it so funny?
"Xiao Jiu, I thought you must miss me very much, otherwise why did you keep Hua Sanniangqiang by your side, didn't you just want to lure me into the bait?"
Huo Roufeng was dumbfounded, this person is really thick-skinned, how could Mrs. Gao have such a descendant as a dignified person.
Huo Roufeng didn't want to pay attention to him, and said to him: "You should have heard about it, our family is going to move to the capital, so the accounts are going to be settled, I owe you three thousand taels in full, what do you owe me?" ”
Zhanhuai sighed, the loneliness in his eyes flashed, but in an instant, he got up again: "What's so fun in the capital, if you really don't want to stay in Jiangnan, you can go to Fujian with me, when you get to Fujian, you will know that the sea you saw before is not the sea, the boat you have been on before, it is not a boat, I will take you out to sea, teach you to shoot artillery, our warship, one cannon can hit thirty miles, the Japanese people saw my flag from a distance, so they were so frightened that they turned around and ran, once they ran in front, I led the boat to chase after me, and guess what, they ran to the pirate's waterhouse for help, and that's how they coaxed. ”
"Pirates? Are the pirates in collusion? "Huo Roufeng is very curious.
"I have been colluding for a long time, before the pirates wanted to buy weapons and warships from the Japanese, and they colluded like this, sometimes the Japanese went ashore to loot, and there were Japanese and pirates in eight or nine out of ten."
Huo Roufeng's face turned cold: "How can that be, isn't this a traitor to the enemy?" ”
Zhanhuai nodded: "At first, the pirates were also forced, in order to reduce my family's military power, the imperial court issued a ban on the sea, after the ban on the sea, the fishermen can no longer go to sea, as long as there are ships at sea, they are the Japanese people, in this way, the Japanese people do not dare to act rashly, and the imperial court has set up a sea ban to hold our family hostage." From that time on, in order to survive, the fishermen were bold enough to build private boats and become pirates, and later fought repeatedly with the sea ban, and finally the imperial court ordered our family to fight pirates. The pirates were beaten and ran away to Dongying, and later started a sea business, and made a lot of money, and when the fishermen who could not go to sea learned about it, more people quietly went to them, and some fishing villages only had women, and all the men went to be pirates. ”
"Our ancestors gave the court a fold, asking for the cancellation of the sea ban, so that the coastal fishermen can live and work in peace and contentment, but the court has not been willing to agree, our family has no choice, they have a fold, and ask the court to set up yamen at all levels in Fujian, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, and send officials, the court has canceled the sea ban, but after so many years, whether it is pirates or widows, it has also grown stronger day by day."
