Yangzhou, Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

A passenger boat moves slowly on the canal. This passenger ship is not big, although it is only a two-story building, but the decoration is chic and elegant, especially on the top of the ship, there is a layer of red glazed tiles, which is even more distinctive.

In the cabin of the passenger ship, a young man is sitting at a table, enjoying the scenery of the riverbank while drinking alone.

At this moment, a man who looked like a butler walked in from outside the passenger ship.

The man walked straight up to the seated young man and placed a wooden box in front of him. "My lord, a little politeness is not a respect, please..."

"Hmmm! What do you mean by that? The official immediately looked annoyed. I am incorruptible, how can I be greedy for money and immoral! After Zhou Fu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the cabin.

"Ahh

A woman in her twenties, dressed in a blue light veil, happened to enter the cabin from outside the cabin and collided with Zhou Fu. The woman was knocked to the deck, and she was about to fall heavily on the deck, Zhou Fu's hands were quick, and he reached out to wrap his arms around the woman's waist, and suddenly felt that the waist in his hand was soft and boneless, warm and silky.

Looking at each other, Zhou Fu couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw this woman's willow eyebrows, melon seed face, small nose, ruddy lips, and delicate skin, especially against the background of a blue light gauze, which looked even more delicate and feminine.

"Girl, you, are you alright?" After a while, Zhou Fu asked. "Hmm. Fortunately, the adults are quick-eyed, otherwise, the little girl would be in danger. The woman stroked her chest, her face full of gratitude.

"Sister, what are you and Lord Zhou doing?" At this time, a woman dressed in white light gauze appeared next to the two, staring at them curiously.

"Ah, nothing." The woman in blue looked panicked, and Zhou Fu hurriedly helped the woman in blue up.

"Steward Wang, what did you do, why were you so angry just now?" The woman in blue didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, while holding Zhou Fu's arm, she slowly lifted the golden lotus, and led Zhou Fu to the cabin. Zhou Fu didn't want to go back, but after hesitating, he was still reluctant to withdraw his arm.

"Hey, eldest miss, second miss, they're all small, aren't they." Steward Wang slapped himself in both mouths. "I was so anxious that I only took out the school qualifications, and I forgot to explain my intentions to the adults."

"Scholarship?" Zhou Fu listened to it and looked puzzled.

"Your Excellency is angry." The woman in blue smiled sweetly at Zhou Yi. "The adult is the leader of the undergraduate, and our sisters have admired it for a long time, so I begged my father to invite the adult to play on the lake today, and we have a good opportunity to visit the adult."

"yes." The woman in white also leaned over and looked at Zhou Fu with affection. "We were wishful thinking, thinking that adults would be willing to be our teachers, so we directly offered the scholarship, but we didn't expect the adults to disagree." The woman in white pursed her lips after speaking, with a sad and aggrieved face.

Zhou Fu heard the voice of the woman in white like a lark, and couldn't help but look up, and found that the woman in white was even more beautiful.

This woman should only look fourteen or fifteen years old, but she has a graceful figure and a myriad of manners, especially a pair of eyes, which seem to have some blue in the dark, which makes people feel addicted to them and can't extricate themselves.

Charming! How can there be such a charming woman in the world!

"My lord, do you really disagree?" Seeing Zhou Fu looking at her stupidly, the woman in white deliberately winked at him, revealing a complaining gaze.

"Ahh I see! "Zhou Fu found out about his gaffe and hurriedly started haha." It turned out that the official had misunderstood. Two girls, how can I be a teacher for the two girls. ”

"My lord, do you dislike us?" The woman in blue bit her lip lightly and raised her eyes to look at Zhou Fu.

"Your Excellency must have disliked us." The woman in white lowered her head and whispered.

"How so?" Zhou Fu hurriedly expressed his attitude. "This official is honored!"

"Really?" "Great!" The woman in blue was overjoyed, and the woman in white was even more overjoyed.

"Then we have to give a good toast to the teacher."

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

………

Pingsheng Wharf in Shengtang County.

It was the height of summer, and the scorching sun was shining on people like a furnace, burning like a needle.

However, for some reason, three large ships were docked on the dock that was supposed to be the off-season, and the boats were full of various items, and a group of people who looked like Taoist priests were standing on the boats, pointing fingers at the workers who were resisting the contract.

Although the sun is blazing, it does not affect the enthusiasm of the workers at all, and they are scrambling one by one, for fear that they will not be able to grab business when it is too late.

At the entrance to the trestle, a trolley was parked, on which were tied four large jars, to which were covered with thick burlap lids.

Next to the cart stood a man dressed in coarse cloth and wearing a hat. The man hung his head, as if unwilling to let anyone see his face, occasionally looking up to see what was going on on the docks.

"Here's a bowl of water!" A sweaty worker ran up to him and handed the man a copper coin.

"Okay." The man took out a large bowl and filled it with a bowl full of water. The worker took the bowl and drank it in a few clicks.

"Good tea! Thirst! The worker wiped his mouth, handed the bowl back, and then looked at the water seller and couldn't help frowning. Why is this person so familiar? The worker felt as if he had seen the man somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"It's an ancestral recipe that's guaranteed to quench your thirst!" The water seller smiled at the workers. The worker scratched his head, looked at the water seller again with a confused expression, and finally turned and ran towards the cargo ship. A big bag of ten copper coins, this job today is really rare, but you can't miss it.

After the workers left, the water seller couldn't help but laugh. This person turned out to be Li You, the county magistrate of Shengtang County.

After a while, a little man named Hanako in tattered clothes walked in front of Li You. "Okay, okay, give a bowl of water to drink."

"There's no one else now, don't pretend." Li You said with a smile while holding water.

Needless to say, this little flower is Wang Miao.

Wang Miao took the water bowl, drank it all, and then wiped her mouth with a sigh of relief. "One more bowl."

Li You waved his hand at Wang Miao. "This is medicinal tea, it is extremely cold, and it should not be drunk more."

"Learn and sell now, hum!" Wang Miao looked disdainful. "Miss Wei is really amazing, this tea is bright and delicious when you drink it. Childe, it's better for us to sell tea full-time, and pass it on to future generations in the future, maybe we can also have an industry. ”

"Traditional herbal tea? This is certainly a good drink in a pot of gold. ”

"Childe, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, nothing." Li You shook his head, looking inexplicable. "But what did you find?"

"The people around me are all recent, and they don't know anything about what happened before." Wang Miao replied.

"All recently?" Li You frowned.

"Childe, how long will we stay longer?" Wang Miao asked with a pout.

"It won't be long." Li You looked ahead and smiled meaningfully.

At this time, a chicly decorated passenger ship sailed into the harbor and stopped at the northernmost trestle.

"Whoever sells water, bring a bowl of water." A man who looked like a butler walked over.

"Okay." Li You took a bowl of water and handed it over.

The man took the water, looked at it with a frown, and sniffed it again. "Why is it black and smells of medicine?"

"Ancestral secret recipe, clear heat and relieve heat." Li You looked at each other with a smile.

"Oh?" The other party looked suspicious and raised his eyes to look at Li You. This didn't matter, and a panicked look immediately appeared on his face. "Great, sir!"

"Shhhhh Li You motioned to the other party to be quiet.

"My lord, what are you..."The other party hurriedly lowered his voice and looked at Li You with a humble expression.

"Subsidize the household, subsidize the household." Li You replied with a smile.

This reason will be believed by the ghost.

"Oh, oh." The other party nodded thoughtfully.

"Drink it." Li You urged.

"Uh-huh." The man took the bowl of water and drank it all. "Good tea!"

"I didn't lie to you, authentic herbal tea..."

"It's okay, my lord, it's tea money." When the man had finished drinking, he handed over five taels of silver.

"What are you doing here!" Li You immediately frowned. "I have a small business, but I don't have so much money to look for you."

"Adult, this tea is moderately sweet and bitter, cool and relieves the heat, and the villain was originally going to suffer from heat stroke, so go down in a bowl..."

"Come on." Although Li You looked unhappy, he still reached out and took the silver. "Whose housekeeper are you?"

"The villain Wang You, but Yao is not Yao Wei's housekeeper." Wang You hurriedly replied.

"Where are you from?" Li You continued to ask.

"Accompanied the two young ladies of our family to Yangzhou..."Wang You turned around and pointed to the boat next to the northernmost trestle.

Li You followed Wang You's fingers and looked up, and found that a boat with a roof inlaid with red glazed tiles was docked on the shore, and he could vaguely see two young women sitting in the cabin, looking lazy.

"Yangzhou? I've never been there. Li You muttered to himself.

"What did you just say, my lord?" A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Wang You's eyes.

"No, nothing." Li You craned his neck, as if trying to see the people in the boat. "By the way, two years ago, two boys from the Miao family fell into the water and died while resisting your family..."Suddenly, Li You turned to Wang You and said such a sentence coldly.

Wang You's face changed suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. "It was a complete accident..."

"Well, now the old woman of the Miao family has already filed a complaint with the official." Li You said this, lowered his head and tidied up the jug, and no longer paid attention to Wang You.

"My lord, this is a deliberate frame-up by her..." Wang You was just about to defend himself, but Li You immediately showed displeasure, but immediately eased up. "This official thinks so too, but..."Li You said here, and took the silver that Wang You had just given into his arms.

"Adults, the little ones understand, the little ones understand." After Wang You finished speaking, he clasped his fists at Li You and saluted, turned around and ran towards the passenger boat.

After Li You waited for Wang You to leave, he took out the silver that he had put in his arms, put it in his hand and rubbed it back and forth, and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, two sedan chairs came from the passenger ship opposite, and two young women stepped down from the boat and sat in the sedan chairs. The two-seater sedan chair did not return the same way, but along the trestle, through the busy workers, and went around to Li You's waterwheel.

When passing by Li You's waterwheel, the curtain of the two-way sedan chair was raised, and two youthful and delicate faces were revealed, all of them smiling and looking at Li You with affection.

Li You didn't hide it, he looked at the two of them directly, but his heart was as calm as water.

"Yao Lan and Yao Jin, it's really the two of you!"
