Chapter 208: Suspicion Review
Chapter 208: Suspicion Review
The wharf here is not big, and more often than not, their own small fishing boats go to sea, and their children help them to drag them ashore, most of them are sent to taverns and inns, and a small part is sold in the street market, which is quite fresh. The townspeople like to come out and buy fish when it's dark, and they just catch it and it's fresh.
"Girl, you have to stay away, little old man, this net fish has a lot of strength, and it is not cost-effective to wait for the splash that will throw you off." Someone was calling her, she moved her ears, stepped aside, and then saw the unforgettable scene in her life.
The short brown on the old man's arm had been pulled up, and the green tendons that had exploded with the fishing net were winding on the skin, and even if the fish was trapped in the net, they were not willing to give in, twisting their bodies and turning around, splashing around the water, and the old man's clothes were already soaked.
Gu Lingge was amazed, she intuitively felt that this fish should be delicious, if she could catch it, she must have let the stall owner just now roast it for her, thinking of that fish, she was fragrant and comfortable.
Looking left and right, Gu Lingge didn't find anyone else to help this old man, seeing that his physical strength was almost unbearable, she also rolled up her sleeves, and landed on the boat with a cushion on her feet.
"Don't panic, uncle, I'm here to help you, you try to go over there, I'll help you pull the net up." As soon as Gu Lingge grabbed it with both hands, he knew that the net was really strong and heavy.
The old man didn't look like she was having fun, so he went with her, went to the other side, pulled up the fishing net and called her. Gu Lingge agreed, exerted force with both hands, and began to drag upwards vigorously. Because she hadn't done anything like that, she was just using brute force. Although the old man wants to stop it, after all, it is good to have more than one person, and he can save more effort. The grandfather and grandson didn't have much to toss before they pulled up.
At this time, the juniors of the old man were late, looking at Gu Lingge's face and the fishy smell that could not be erased from his body, and they were a little stunned. They had never seen a woman on the docks, and this man was richly dressed and calm, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
"Tell me about you, you can't help you all the time, what do you want you to do?" While taking the hook for the fish, the old man counted his own children with some disgust. Among the three or four people who came, the leader was a burly man, listening to his father's words, touching his head, and smiling at Gu Lingge with some embarrassment.
"Girl, you've done me a great favor to the old man. The old man doesn't have anything else valuable, which one you fancy this fish, take it casually. The old man looked at Gu Lingge, who was standing straight, with a kind face and a lovely smile.
Gu Lingge shook her head, she was just a gesture, and she didn't take food for nothing. She chose the silver carp she had been interested in before, and asked the old man to take a straw rope to put on her, and she still gave the money.
She carried the fish and continued to walk around the pier. On the other side, someone was selling oysters, took a sharp knife to pry open the shell, sprinkled some salt, sucked it into his mouth with a snort, and then smacked his lips, looking delicious in the world. It's just that she can't eat the fishy smell, so she just watches the excitement.
The fish in his hand was still out of breath, and he flicked his tail from time to time to remind Gu Lingge that he was still alive. Gu Lingge didn't care about it, and walked forward by himself.
The structure of the place near the sea here is really magical, the stilted building is like a bracket, the shelf made of thick wooden planks, from the water surface, the sparkling waves shine on the wood, like a string of top pearls, standing on the wooden board, the water surface is calm, the moonlight is sprinkled down, reflecting each other, gentle and spiritual.
Walking back to the previous stall, Gu Lingge took out the fish to the stall owner, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the daughter girl who had just come to pick up a fish that had rolled her eyes, and she was full of interest to help cook it herself. Sure enough, his cooking skills are the best. He went to make fish satisfied, Gu Lingge sat at the table, looked at the bustling crowd, and laughed silently.
She likes to watch fireworks in the world, but she doesn't like to mix in, and the warmth between strangers is better than the indifference of family.
"Girl, I'm afraid you're coming to us for the first time. It's a pity that in this winter, if you come a little earlier for a month or two, you will be able to see the tide of the Qiantang River. The stall owner is very proud, with a Sichuan-Chongqing accent in his words, but his enthusiasm is high.
"The boss isn't a local, is he?" Gu Lingge puffed up his cheeks and blew on the fish vigorously, while not forgetting to chat with the stall owner.
"The girl can also hear that my accent is wrong?" The boss scratched his head, not surprised at all, thinking that he had been recognized by many people, "My daughter-in-law is here, and I myself came to Yizhou to do business. Hearing his pride and satisfaction, Gu Lingge was also infected with the same hooked lips and laughed because of his happiness in the market.
"This Qiantang tide has always been spectacular, I didn't see it this year, and I will come back next year." Gu Lingge didn't care either, it was almost the same for her.
"Hey, then you have to remember to be early, the embankment is crowded a day or two in advance, and you may be able to have a good spot if you come early." Gu Lingge responded with a smile, her lips were already numb to the point that she was unconscious, and she didn't bother to speak, so she kept smiling.
When she was full of food and drink, she stood up and walked slowly back to the inn, not forgetting to tell the shopkeeper to cancel the room of the traveler before going upstairs. She felt that every time it was like this, everyone left in a hurry after accompanying her for a ride, and she didn't even sit on a hot chair, and she didn't even have time to leave the room.
The wind in winter is really strong, Gu Lingge suddenly regretted why he chose the window by the sea when he was nesting in the bed, this sea breeze blew in through the unrelated window, it really made people's hearts tremble.
But she slept peacefully, even in a dream. In the last dream, she was training, and the sweat of the winter soaked a thin layer of underwear; In the next dream, she was eating fish again, and the spicy and crispy feeling made her feel as if her tongue had fallen off; In the next dream, she dreamed that everyone in Liulizhuang was hanging on the wall of the imperial city, and Qing Ruifan took a bright scimitar and forced her to stand up by herself, otherwise she would be cut by a thousand knives......
She forgot how many dreams she had gone through, only knew that the last one was that she was standing on the tree in the imperial garden and looking at Qing Ruifan under the tree, under the dense and gentle warm sun, she lowered her head and looked up, crashing into each other's eyes, and the surging affection made people want goosebumps.
Early in the morning, the rooster in the back kitchen of the inn crowed, and Gu Lingge sat up listening to the voice, his body was dripping with sweat, and his pillow was covered with water stains. She shook her head, got up and cleaned herself up, today she wanted to go to the City God Temple, it is said that the prayer tree there is very good, she wants to see that there are many red ribbons on the tree.
Imperial City, Yongyuan Palace.
Qing Ruifan looked at his two brothers, not knowing whether to say that they were dull or that they were smart. Half a month has passed since the death of the Queen Mother, and it has been more than half a month since she pretended to be sick.
"Brother Huang, what is the illness of the queen mother, we have not been allowed to visit for so long, but the imperial sister-in-law has been allowed to serve her illness, which is a bit unreasonable." Qing Ruiyang is quite calm, and his speech is also discussed.
The more he thinks about it in the house these days, the more wrong it becomes, a few days ago on his birthday, no matter how seriously ill the Queen Mother used to be, she would carefully pick a gift for the Department of Internal Affairs to send, and what she sent this year was exactly the same as last year, which made him very suspicious.
Moreover, the Queen Mother is old, and she often summons the two of them into the palace to talk when she has nothing to do, and people with illnesses are bitter in their hearts, prone to gains and losses, impetuous and dreamy, and they should want to see them, but they have been sick for so long, and the Queen Mother has not seen anyone except for the queen who has always been at odds with herself, what is the reason?
Moreover, the emperor's attitude towards this matter is worth scrutinizing. For such a big matter, he neglected to visit them because of his busy state affairs, but why did they go to visit, and the blue-clothed guard was in Ci'an Hall to stop them from entering? Lan Yi easily did not leave Qing Ruifan's side, why was this arrangement?
The more Qing Ruiyang thought about it, the more wrong it became, and then he came to visit his wife and slave Qing Ruiting, and the two discussed, only to find that neither of them was much better. The emperor's side is prevaricating in every way, and the queen mother's side is dead and alive, which is really abnormal.
However, it was so late to find out that the two of them were indeed a little ashamed. Qing Ruiyang has been so comfortable recently because of Yunshuang's low and small that he can't do it, he mixes oil with his wife every day, and just after his birthday, the emperor let him take a routine vacation, and he has been more comfortable than anyone else these days.
This is even more true on Qing Ruiting's side. Before Gu Liangyue had no children, he spoiled her as a child, and now that she is finally pregnant, he can't wait to take a strap to carry her on her back, and take her with him wherever he goes. Qing Ruifan asked him to go to the director of the Gyeonggi camp, but he just went to take a picture and told the commander to let him send the case file to the Han Palace, and then like a ghost chasing him, he was in a hurry to shoot the horse home and take care of his little daughter-in-law.
The two of them have had a good time during this time, and the two families are not separated by many roads, and the sweet smell can be smelled on the whole street, some say that it is the newly transplanted flowers from the Nine Princes' Mansion, and some say that it is the aura coral ornaments bought by the Ten Princes' Mansion for fetal protection, and there are all kinds of things, neither of them have made an explanation, and the people are just watching the excitement.
"According to Brother Jiu's meaning, Brother Huang is hiding something from us?" Everyone is not stupid, everything will be spread out on the bright side, and it is natural to understand it when you think about it.
"Whether it's or not," Qing Ruiyang can't figure out Qing Ruifan's place is here, he always does some ambiguous things, making people think that this is not, that should not be misleading others, many officials who dismounted before were exposed like this, "Let's go see first, if there is really anything, this king will force him out." ”
That's why we have this one. As soon as Qing Ruifan changed out of his court clothes, he saw two brothers standing in front of him, just like he had borrowed usury from them, and they came to ask for the account, his face was more than owed, and what he said was also stubborn.
"The queen mother is fine, but her illness is recurrent and lingering, so I let the queen go to serve the sick." Qing Ruifan remembered to ask here for a while, so he didn't answer sincerely, just like dealing with other officials and concubines, thinking that it was okay to fool the past.
Qing Ruiyang is not easy to dismiss, his temper is the most irritable among the three people here, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Qing Ruifan had something in his mouth, and he was anxious, and his anger was almost uneasy: "Brother Huang, do we still use sloppy eyes between us?" Are you confused about dealing with courtiers? ”
Who is the Queen? In Qing Ruiyang's eyes, the queen can go into battle to kill the enemy and dominate the harem, but it is absolutely impossible to let her take care of people. It's good that Murong Zhi can learn to take care of herself, take care of others? It's unrealistic to think about. So he didn't believe it at all.
"Brother Huang, if some things are hidden for a long time and are poked out, it will make everyone's face look bad." Qing Ruiting seemed to understand the inside story, and followed Qing Ruiyang leisurely to make up a sentence. They just want to make it difficult for Qing Ruifan to ride a tiger, because this rearly close brother must be made clear when it comes to the queen mother.
"Huh? So what do you know, why don't you tell us about it? Qing Ruifan avoided talking about it and started a different conversation. His mind was spinning rapidly, how to get the Lingge out, and let these two people not be suspicious, he felt that he had a headache.
"It's impossible for the queen mother to give me the same birthday gift as last year, and it's impossible for more than half a month to pass without summoning us to meet, what happened, brother Huang, you can solve it together, right?" Qing Ruiyang was really lost temper by Qing Ruifan's silent attitude, so he could only slow down his voice and speak kindly.
"I naturally want to work with you to create Han and Qin, and because of this, I will not hide anything from you." Qing Ruifan sighed, drank the little tea left in the cup, and said, "The queen mother has passed away." ”
Qing Ruiyang and Qing Ruiting were dumbfounded, they looked like bull's eyes, although the two of them had thought about it in advance, but now they were still surprised, and they even forgot to close their open chins.
Qing Ruifan looked at the two of them like this, and his head hurt even more. How could he convince these two people that Ah Ling had nothing to do with this matter? In particular, Rui Ting still has an opinion on the owner of the glass village.
