......

Wang Shouzhe's face is almost dark, this big girl is so weak and afraid of becoming this virtue, she must be not working hard in ordinary days, and she still has the face and courage to say in front of him that she reads and cultivates every day?

"Shouzhe, don't scare the big girl, you see that this child is scared and crying. Seeing her like that, Xu Zhirou, who had a gentle personality, took her in her arms and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, big girl, don't be afraid, your fourth uncle is teasing you." Think about it, if he really did his school homework, how could he just ask you to come alone?"

I see.

Wang Lici patted her chest and relaxed. It really scared me to death, so I quickly ate a piece of candied fruit to suppress the shock. Immediately, she picked up a piece of candied fruit and ate it deliciously.

Seeing this, Wang Shouzhe's face darkened, this broken girl's speed from the rest of her life to a foodie is too fast, right?

Just like her, what else is there to get into school?

He originally wanted to find two clansmen and daughters from his family, and accompany him all the way to serve the diet and daily life of Longyan Ancestor, one should be older, mature and stable, and the other should be younger, energetic and physically strong.

Wang Shouzhe is naturally quite satisfied with the fourth aunt Xu, but Wang Lici is a big girl......

Headache!

Among the younger clansmen's daughters, that is, his sister-in-law Wang Luoyi, his fourth sister Wang Luotong, and his eldest nephew Queen Lici. Because this trip is going to pass through Donggang, and my sister Wang Luoyi and the young master of the Chen family in Donggang have a marriage contract, it is not good to take her to Donggang to show up at this time.

And Luo Tong was busy with the last transportation line of grain, and after she completed the task, Wang Shouzhe also wanted her to follow the eldest lady Sun Hui to deal with the follow-up affairs and exercise more.

Therefore, I will not interrupt Wang Luotong's original arrangement plan.

After thinking about it, the only suitable candidate who is idle and has nothing to do is Wang Lici. Looking at her iron-hearted appearance, I have a feeling of wanting to replace her and find a smart and clever maid.

But this thought is only fleeting, since this girl refuses to study her homework well, it is better to take it with her to train her, and give her a good spell.

And now it is a common practice for girls in the family not to study their homework well, and the same is true for Luotong, Luojing and other girls. Presumably, most of the other little girls are not much better. Boys will be better somewhat, after all, there is a lot of pressure from the elders.

With such a bad family style, you must rectify it when you turn back.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Shouzhe temporarily returned to the topic and said: "Fourth aunt." This time, I need you to go on a long trip, which is about ten days away. You go back to prepare first, and we will set off the next day, I wonder if there is a problem with the fourth aunt?"

Although Xu Zhirou had some doubts, she still got up and nodded: "There is no problem, it is all up to Shouzhe's arrangement." ”

Wang Lici's little head was full of doubts and curiosity, and there was excitement, when she went far away, did the fourth uncle want to take her to Changningwei to play? In her mind, Changningwei was already far enough, and she hadn't been there twice when she was so old.

Time passed in such a hurry.

In the wee hours of the morning, when it was just getting dark.

A four- or five-zhang long canopy boat sailed from the dock in the backyard of Wang's main house into Zhuwei Lake, and then headed all the way to Fenggu Farm.

This is the route arranged by Wang Shouzhe, and when Longyan Ancestor travels, he naturally has to act in secret. If you take a carriage to Dingpu Ferry to take a boat, it must be too ostentatious.

It's better to take a big boat through the Fenggu Gate like the grain transportation route, which is your own territory after all.

There were not many people who accompanied Longyan Ancestor this time, so Wang Shouzhe brought Wang Zhong and Wang Yong, two generals, as well as the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou and the big girl Wang Lici, a total of six people, including the ancestor.

Wang Zhong and Wang Yong were in charge of driving the boat outside, although they were not professional, but it was very simple to control this kind of small and medium-sized awning boat with the means of a Xuanwu, and the speed of the pole and the rocking boat was quite fast.

Inside the canopy boat.

Wang Lici's eyes widened, her hands clutched the burden, and she didn't even dare to breathe more. The fourth uncle didn't tell him in advance, this is to accompany Longyan Ancestor on a trip.

That's the ancestor of the family, an existence that is even more terrifying than the fourth uncle.

The surprise given by the fourth uncle was too big to digest.

"Ancestor, the itinerary and arrangement are like this, the fourth aunt and Lici are responsible for taking care of your daily life. Wang Shouzhe respectfully introduced the various arrangements for this trip to Longyan Ancestor.

"Shouzhe does things, I can rest assured. Longyan Ancestor was still very satisfied with Wang Shouzhe's thoughtful arrangement, and then said to Xu Zhirou, "Zhirou, this trip needs to work hard for you." ”

Xu Zhirou hurriedly and humbly said: "It is Zhirou's duty and honor to serve the ancestor. ”

After that, Longyan Ancestor looked at Wang Lici again, and there was a rare softness in his eyes: "You kid, I haven't called you to meet for two years." It's a big girl in a blink of an eye, how have you been studying your homework lately?"

For the juniors in the family, Longyan ancestors are usually more kind. Especially Longyan Ancestor, she is the third-generation granddaughter of Zhouxuan's ancestor, and Wang Lici is already the eighth generation of the family's bloodline.

"Scared?" Wang Lici was stunned for a moment, and asked about homework again?

Fortunately, with the experience of the fourth uncle's school homework, she has been prepared.

Wang Lici's eyes rolled and she hurriedly said: "I've been working hard lately, I'll recite some articles to my ancestors......" As she spoke, she couldn't wait to recite an article - "Ascending to the Sky and Watching the Sky at Night", which was written by a strong man in the realm of heaven and man and a literary master thousands of years ago.

Literature is an extremely important layer in any civilization, and it has the effect of cultivating sentiment and increasing cultural heritage. If human beings only know how to fight, kill, and kill, and do not cultivate their self-cultivation and temperament, and only know the pursuit of strength and killing all their lives, what is the difference between them and savage beasts?

Wang Shouzhe listened to her recite fluently, and there was some emotion, and he was helpless and funny, your so-called recent hard work, recently refers to the temporary Buddha's feet in the past two days, right? I'm afraid you can recite this article fluently, right?

However, she didn't expose her details, anyway, the ancestor seemed to be very pleased, and praised and encouraged her.

The canopy boat meandered all the way to Fenggu Farm, and after arriving at the farm, it did not stop, shuttled to the [Fenggu Gate], everyone left the canopy boat and turned over the gate, where a medium-sized river boat was already waiting.

This river boat is a medium-sized sailing ship, even if it is an empty carriage, it can be safe, and I don't know where Wang Dinghai borrowed it.

"Shouzhe, do as you command. Sixth Uncle Wang Dinghai greeted him, "The cabin has been slightly renovated, and a rest room has been set up temporarily. Thou mysterious, thou shalt prepare...... Huh?"

Wang Dinghai suddenly noticed the Longyan Ancestor behind Wang Shouzhe, and immediately his eyes almost popped out, are you kidding? The Ancestor actually traveled......

He was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, and when he just wanted to salute, he was stopped by Wang Shouzhe: "Sixth uncle, stop, you can take the helm and drive to Donggang." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll take the helm. Wang Dinghai's face turned weak, and he hurriedly invited Wang Shouzhe and others into the temporary rest room in the cabin, and then went to drive the ship without saying a word.

When the ancestor travels, it must be a big deal.

But big things are not as important as the safety of Longyan Ancestor. Therefore, under his control and command, the ship slowly left the deep water area outside the Fenggu Gate and steadily arrived at the center of the Anjiang River.

In the center of the river, the wind and waves gradually increased, the sails opened in an orderly manner, the dense canvas bulged and swelled, and the speed of the ship gradually increased.

On Earth, the speed of a ship is measured in knots.

However, in this world's great dry country, it is still calculated in terms of the number of miles per hour. Today it was a southeast wind, and the water was flowing eastward and rapid, and the speed had reached fifty or sixty miles in an hour before I knew it.

It sounds fast, but it is only equivalent to a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour, two or three times the walking speed of a normal person.

The sixth uncle, Wang Dinghai, is worthy of being a master of begging for a life on the Anjiang River all the year round, and he is as steady as flowing water. Wang Shouzhe and others were in the rest room of the cabin, and the shaking discomfort was small.

However, Wang Shouzhe was young and strong, and it was inevitable that he would be bored in the cabin. So he confessed to his ancestor and went to the deck to enjoy the scenery. Seeing that Wang Dinghai was at the helm, he immediately ran to take a look.

"Sixth uncle, this ship seems to be good. It looks like a merchant ship, where did you borrow it from?" Wang Shouzhe looked at the ship, and the boatmen on board were obviously not those of the Wang family's fishing fleet.

Wang Dinghai said while taking the helm: "You sent someone to tell me to find a better ship, so I borrowed one from a friend from the Changning branch of Jiaolong Commercial Bank. That old boy owes me a favor, last time the fleet he was in charge of had an accident on our family's territory, and it was the sixth uncle who took the risk to save him. ”

Jiaolong Firm?

Of course, Wang Shouzhe had also heard of this trading house, and their way of doing business was to walk along the entire Anjiang River, from the westernmost Dahuang County to Longzuo County, which spanned several counties, as long as there were branches in the cities along the river.

This is a trading house whose overall strength is not inferior to that of the Qian firm, but they only trade along the river by water, and they do not conflict with the local forces in each county on the surface, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

"Shouzhe, don't even think about running by water. Wang Dinghai solemnly reminded, "Jiaolong Firm is not easy to mess with, you must know that they used to be called Jiaolong Gang, which was secretly supported by several powerful families. In recent decades, the business has become bigger and bigger, and it has changed to the name of a commercial house. They signed non-infringement clauses with local families. ”

It turned out to be a trading house laundered by the underworld forces, and it is no wonder that they have the strength to occupy the Anjiang River, an important waterway.

However, Wang Shouzhe doesn't know whether to be funny or feel tragic, when reading fantasy novels on the earth, what Jiaolong Gang and Angry Dragon Club are all unpopular forces, and they are all places for the protagonist to brush up on experience in the early stage.

How did he get here, and suddenly became a behemoth that is not easy to provoke!
