Chapter 111 Affection
A crescent moon is like a hook, and the stars in the sky cast a dappled clear light, embellishing the river surface at night like a dream.
Standing alone in the bow of the boat, I reached out and untied my bun, letting the cool night breeze blow through my hair, feeling that I hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time.
The girl in my previous life had a good family background, and I had never been wronged in terms of food and clothing since I was a child, and I had the urge to die when I first traveled to the Ming Dynasty, looking at the impoverished Leng family.
Typical from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult.
Now that I am on this five-star luxury cruise ship of the Ming Dynasty, I am tired of running for my livelihood all day long, and I can't help but give birth to some rotten thoughts of arrogance and comfort.
In fact, with the girl's current age, finding a solid family to marry, and ending up with no worries about food and clothing, is much better than the ups and downs of the limelight today.
Even, as Xiaoshu said, it is not impossible to cling to a royal family and nobles.
But, forget about the fat man, the drama of the house fight first and the harem fight is too stressful.
Thinking of this, a handsome figure in a green shirt crossed his mind.
If I can confirm it, Pan Gongzi is the Yunqi who has crossed over......
In my previous life, I also had a white-headed appointment with Yunqi, if I could really awaken his memories of his previous life, and he chanted poems in the Ming Dynasty, admired the moon and made plums, and spent this life in leisure and comfort, then there should be......
How boring that must be!
I sighed in my heart: Leng Xinyue, Leng Xinyue, you are a nosy natural toiler, admit it.
I yawned, only to feel a hint of fatigue hit me, and I was about to go back to sleep.
turned around, but unexpectedly saw a long and cold figure.
At this moment, Qin Lang changed into an ink-colored robe and stood quietly behind me, almost melting into the deep night.
I raised my eyelashes and easily met his pair of watery phoenix eyes, enveloped in a layer of dissolved mist, rippling with cold moonlight.
I don't know how long he's been standing behind me, and he's even a little distracted, until I take two steps closer to him that he suddenly comes to his senses, coughs lightly, and lowers his eyes.
In the awkward silence of relative silence, I opened my mouth and felt like I needed to say something.
But what do you want to say?
Thank him for his righteous relief today, or do you want to ask, "It's always been well"?
In fact, since I saw him again today, I have felt that many words have come out of my heart.
I want to tell him a lot of things, about the painful struggles I have experienced in the past two months, the deep despair that has been on the verge of collapse several times, and the helplessness of being a mole ant who has lost all dignity......
But if he cared about this, how could he be like this, bowing his head and being silent, indifferent?
For a while, my heart was full of grievances and sourness, and I surged up into my eyes together.
The night breeze lifted my hair and brushed his cheeks and his neck.
In front of him, he took a step back a little uncomfortably. I felt the alienation keenly from the fingertips that were deliberately clenched at his side.
It's a stone's throw away, but that's it.
I sneered at myself again and again in my heart, sniffed hard, forcibly repatriated the sourness, and turned around him.
But I heard the familiar clear and glutinous tone behind my ears: "Has the residual poison in Miss Leng's body melted away?" ”
My body froze, and my eardrum was pierced by his clear "cold girl".
Qin Lang and I, since when did we become the most familiar strangers?
I took a deep breath, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth: "Lord Xie cares, I'm fine." ”
My lowered eyes caught a glimpse of his clenched fingertips twitching slightly, apparently struck by my detached and polite "grown-up".
I thought about it and felt that if I didn't ask some things tonight, I was afraid that I would lose the opportunity and courage in the future, "Was it you, my lord, who went to save me in the Three Princes' Village that day?" ”
He did not hesitate: "I have been in the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day. The one who went to save the girl was the dead man arranged by His Highness. ”
"I see." I bit my lip and squeezed out a polite smile, "I was very poisoned that day, and I wounded a dead soldier very badly. If you meet him in the future, please apologize for me. ”
He teased a little: "Okay." ”
"By the way, I heard that Shen Zheng was plotted against in his own house, and he was beaten and didn't say anything, but he ...... It's really scared, and it's naturally the cause of the dead. ”
There was a wry smile in his clear voice, "Only people who are extremely boring will do such a boring thing." ”
talked with Qin Lang in just two or three sentences, but in exchange for the girl, I tossed and turned and had no sleep all night, which was very not cost-effective.
The next morning, with heavy dark circles under my eyes, I enjoyed a five-star breakfast on a luxury cruise ship while listening to Mr. Pan explain our itinerary in detail.
According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty on the transportation and marketing of official salt, our "four brothers of the Bai family" need to first transport a boatload of grain along the Yangtze River to the Grand Canal to the Huai'an granary, and then go to the salt transportation department in Huai'an to exchange for salt with the receipt and signature of the granary, and then go to the official salt field to purchase salt with salt and transport it back to Jinling.
Obviously, the fat man wanted to thoroughly investigate the shortcomings of the official salt distribution of the Ming Dynasty through this complete trip.
"The high post section of the canal is a hidden danger." I recounted in detail what I heard from the boatman Lao Zhao a few days ago about the Gaoyou Lake Monster, the ghost boat, and the Lying Pit Flag.
"It's kind of interesting." The fat man squinted and thought about it, "It's not so much a Taoist temple asking for peace, but more like sending money to the lake monster to buy a road, and this matter is very mysterious." ”
Pan Gongzi said cautiously, "Whether it is evil or evil, we should not take it lightly, and it is better to send capable people to Gaoyou Lake to investigate first." ”
I suddenly remembered a question: "The boat workers on the canal know about the robbery of ships and murder by demons in Gaoyou Lake, why did it become a serious flood when they arrived at the governor of Caoyun?" ”
The fat man said: "In order to encourage Cao Yun, I implemented a subsidy law for canal merchants, if the cargo ship capsized due to unfavorable weather, the owner of the ship can apply to the Cao Yun Yamen for a certain amount of compensation silver; However, if the goods are lost due to bad luck or theft on the way, they will be responsible for their own responsibility. ”
I immediately realized: "Therefore, in order to apply for compensation, the businessman will not tell the evil thing about Gaoyou Lake, but only say that the flood is serious and the boat capsizes, and the Caoyun Yamen will also accept all the orders." "Typical yamen style!
The fat man sneered, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes: "When I come back from this trip, the Salt Division of the Household Department and the Caoyun Yamen should move their muscles and bones!" ”
The fat man sent someone to Gaoyou Lake to investigate, and we took a boat along the Yangtze River to the east, and two days later we reached Zhenjiang, and then turned north along the Grand Canal.
I saw that the fat man had nothing to do, so I made up a few math problems of pursuit problems and engineering problems for him to relieve his boredom, so the poor fat man shrank in his room and basically did not come out again, and did not even move a few chopsticks to the food he was sent, so that his personal maid, Miss Fuyuan, spoke to me coldly.
When she heard that the chickens and rabbits in the same cage and the drain pipe were also from my hands, she simply stopped talking to me.
And Pan Gongzi saw that I had nothing to do, so he taught me to play Go for two days.
Playing chess, once you learn it, you will be addicted, so I immersed myself in the game with Pan Gongzi for two days in a row, but I didn't feel very boring and depressed.
However, in the early morning of the third day, the chessboard and chess pieces were missing, and they could not be found.
I don't know which boring person did such a boring thing. Before I could solve the mystery of the disappearance of Go, our ship finally docked in Yangzhou Mansion.
"Finally down to earth!" When I got off the boat and stood on the dock in Yangzhou, I was very comfortable and relaxed.
Finally solved the math problem, and the fat man who regained confidence in his IQ was also in a good mood, "Although it is not fireworks in March, the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou is also suitable for all four times." We settled here for a while, walked around the Slender West Lake and listened to the songs, and waited for the news of Gaoyou Lake by the way. ”
I thought it was a bloody adventure, but here it turned into a sightseeing tour, which is really ...... It's delightful.
"Fourth brother, have you heard Yangzhou Qingqu?"
I shook my head, "No, isn't that good?" ”
An hour later, I sat on the second floor of the Miaoyin Pavilion and looked around excitedly like a silly boy who had really left home for the first time and followed my brothers out to see each other.
"Yangzhou locals say that listening to the song must be Miaoyin Pavilion, which can be seen that this place should be authentic." Pan Gongzi's green shirt and white fan complement each other with the carved beams and paintings, elegant and exquisite interior.
"No wonder there are so many of them." I looked downstairs by the railing, but I saw that the huge teahouse was full of all kinds of men: there were those who looked like scholars, there were those who looked like merchants, and even greasy middle-aged men, obscene old men, and so on. ”
"It's not like that on weekdays." The guests in the private room on the side accommodated themselves with their own stubble, "Many people today are here from the girl of Chongyunyu." ”
"Oh? This girl is so popular? ”
"The little boy looks like a foreigner. Yun Song girl is the most popular singer in Yangzhou City, not only born as beautiful as a fairy, playing the pipa in one hand exquisitely, singing a clear song is like a natural sound, no one in the whole Yangzhou City can compare. ”
"I see." A popular starlet. I was curious about what the concert of the Ming Dynasty was, when I suddenly heard a shout downstairs and a low sigh: "The girl is out!" ”
I saw that on the stage downstairs, in a plain gauze curtain, a few red lanterns suddenly lit up.
A hazy and graceful figure was reflected in the bright lights, looming and real.
The beautiful woman behind the gauze curtain got up gracefully, and looked at the official Yingying through the gauze curtain, and then hugged the piano with her jade arm, gently pulled it with her bare hands, and pulled out a string of crisp notes like jade beads falling on the plate, and the audience was instantly silent.
This cloud ballad girl can be said to have performed the sentence "Coming out after a long time, still holding the pipa and half-covering her face", which satisfies the appetite of the men present.
