The concierge of the Jiang family is an old servant for many years, and Master Jiang treats him well. Now that the half-destroyed murderous mansion has no one to take over, the loyal old servant is still guarding it conscientiously.

The old servant saw that Zheng Haizhu, Yonghai, and Xu Yilong were all dusty servants but their faces were full of sincerity, and they heard Zheng Haizhu claim to be guided by the senior monks in the south and came to the door to ask for a look, but he did not refuse coldly, and talked to the guests.

Mr. Jiang is not one of the richest people in the two Huai salt merchants, but because he doesn't like to build gardens and raise powder, his savings are really considerable. Brothers, sisters-in-law, wives and children are all in their hometown, Yangzhou is the only small house, and the concubines who bought and accompanied him in Nanjing for many years take care of Master Jiang's daily life. This concubine plays the piano well, and Master Jiang also loves to listen to the piano, so he spent a huge amount of money to buy the "Songshi Interintention", not wanting to suffer this disaster for two years.

The old servant finally lamented: "When I came to my hometown to take care of the funeral, the salt merchants of the fellow villagers said when they mourned, that qin, what is the Wenqu star in the sky, fell into the hands of our traders, Wenqu Xing was not happy, so he took the qin back to the sky, and did not care that the thunder fire had lost the life of my master." ”

Zheng Haizhu comforted a few words on the spot, and saw that the main house in the backyard had burned to the ruins of a half-foot-high wooden stake, and he could see it at a glance, so he took Yonghai and the others to say goodbye and leave.

Back in Songjiang, Wang Yuesheng and Zheng Haizhufu met face-to-face, and what they talked earnestly about was the official affairs of the firearms factory and the school.

As for Zheng Haizhu's introduction to Yonghai, Wang Yuesheng heard that the Japanese monk had played a plane overseas, which was also Shao Shengnian's "turquoise meaning", and the slight disdain in his expression was fleeting, euphemistically suggesting that it was about a fake. I heard that the new owner of my turquoise stone was actually hit by a natural disaster, and the piano was also burned, and the Yuesheng girl, who had always been as quiet as an orchid, was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning, and then muttered, "That's Mr. Dongpo's piano, there is nothing in the world, I would rather be stolen by thieves", which provoked the Japanese monk Yonghai, a fan of Su Shi, also sighed.

Zheng Haizhu looked at Wang Yuesheng's reaction at that time, and there was no flaw, how could he have imagined that Liu Xiang, a maritime businessman, had a unique origin and could report the news.

A few days later, she went to ask Huang Zunsu again, but she still remembered that there were traces of repair at the crown and corner of "Turquoise Meaning", because when she was on Penghu Island, after Yan Siqi translated, Yonghai mentioned that when she saw the piano played by Mingren teacher, the head of the piano was just knocked out of a corner.

Huang Zunsu reminisced carefully and denied it.

Zheng Haizhu had to put aside his doubts for the time being.

In the past six months, Wang Yuesheng, as always, has been running hard in the classroom, cutting the piano in the workshop, and managing the firearms factory.

At this moment, Wang Yuesheng looked at the hour, picked up his piano, and said to Zheng Haizhu: "Miss Zheng, I'm going to Mrs. Miao." ”

Zheng Haizhu nodded: "Go ahead, Ah Tai's Fujian Sea Battle Map, without your piano sound, I'm afraid it won't be finished." ”

……

Gu Mansion, outside the Buddhist hall in the depths of the Luxiang Garden, at noon, the brightest sunlight of the day is sprinkled on the Hunan silk bottom specially used by Gu Xiu.

】

Miao Ruiyun sat in front of the embroidery, having just finished the reef outline of the rolling needle embroidery and the flame of the gold embroidery, and was about to start using the stitches of net embroidery to express the warships of the Ming army.

On the edges of the embroidery, there are two wooden shelves, one of which is a painting of Han Ximeng and Gu Shouqian, which is the warship under the command of Yan Siqi recorded by the couple with a brush when they traveled to Taiwan; The other hanging painting, but a sketch-style Western watercolor painting, records the scene of the naval battle of Luowan in the Ming Dynasty, the artillery attack of the Dutch Galen ship, and the encirclement and suppression of the fireships of the Fujian Navy Division of the Ming Army.

Zheng Haizhu was once among the Dutch captives in Kinmen, and was surprised to find that there were two painters who were rare to record the naval battle faithfully like later generations of war photojournalists. Zheng Haizhu asked two painters to make a copy, brought it back to Songjiang, and showed it to Miao Ruiyun and Han Ximeng.

Gu Xiu was born from the Danqing style, and the Battle of Liuluo Bay was a more fierce gunboat battle than the previous Dynasty's anti-Japanese naval battle, Miao Ruiyun and Han Ximeng were naturally itchy because of the novelty, and immediately decided to create such a magnificent embroidery according to their own ideas.

From autumn to spring, Miao Ruiyun is in Luxiang Garden, Han Ximeng is in Wenzhe Garden, and the embroidery of the two is gradually coming to an end.

Miao Ruiyun's maid Zhuxiang led Wang Yuesheng in from the front yard.

After Wang Yuesheng finished his salute, his eyes wandered between the paintings on the wooden frame and the embroidery under Miao Ruiyun's needle.

Miao Ruiyun stopped the needle, pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't say it, what kind of Hongyi watercolor painting Zheng Yatou brought back from Fujian, I really couldn't get used to it at first, but after an embroidery scene, I can't do without these paintings." ”

Wang Yuesheng said respectfully: "Then it also requires Ah Tai's eyes and magic skills to extract the essence from the rough, and turn this messy painting into an elegant and exquisite embroidery on silk silk." ”

Miao Ruiyun stared at the raging fire in the embroidery, and muttered: "I really didn't expect that the Danqing craftsman among the Hongyi people, when the two armies were fighting, was not scared, and he could also paint the reef and the ship. Yuesheng, take a look at our historians, what do they remember about reversing black and white. ”

Wang Yuesheng lowered his head and whispered: "Those who don't want to write against their will, destroy the clan, and escape from death The scattered bloodlines have to struggle in the lower ninth stream, and from then on, the word decent is like a chasm." ”

Miao Ruiyun's raised eyes were full of pity and pity.

"By the way, Yuesheng, almost half a year has passed, and Zheng Yatou hasn't bothered about that piano anymore, right?"

"It's supposed to be a soup, and when it's time to use me, she uses it as usual. It's just," Wang Yuesheng paused, and said hesitantly, "It's just that Yuesheng recently helped the Japanese monk chop the qin, and Xu had several nightmares because he frequently recalled the appearance of Songshi. ”

When Miao Ruiyun heard this, his face became more gentle and kind, as if it was more comforting than the warm sun in spring.

"Yuesheng, Ah Tai knows, you are the same as Master Fang, with hard bones and a good heart. The salt merchant and the concubine, fell in love with the pine stone, and asked them to leave without returning the price, you have some pity for them, but pity them for being wronged, isn't it? ”

Wang Yuesheng nodded.

Miao Ruiyun sighed: "Your mind is the heart of the scholar and the spirit of the Buddha. But what we want to stay in our chests now is ambition and decisiveness. At the beginning, the lord's anger suddenly arose, and after smashing the horn with the jade seal of the country, he went to the beach and met the monk of the Wa Kingdom, and the monk remembered that the horn was missing. Although the piano seems to be repaired and is unharmed, the salt merchant's concubine has been playing for more than two years, what if she notices? Even if you don't pay attention, Zheng Yatou takes a monk to visit the door, and those who know the piano will always find that the gray tire paint is wrong. Therefore, neither the human nor the piano can be kept. Yuesheng, Ah Tai doesn't hide it from you, if it weren't for the fact that Huang Zunsu hadn't touched the piano a few times, so he didn't know this section, otherwise, his life, Ah Tai wouldn't have been able to stay. ”

Wang Yuesheng felt a familiar creepy meaning, flashing and disappearing.

The corners of her mouth curled hard.

"Ah Tai, Yuesheng understands. Miss Zheng is suspicious, Yuesheng must not be kicked out of the firearms factory by her. Rest assured, Miss Zheng asked me to count 20 arquebuses out of the warehouse a while ago and send them to the Fujian Naval Division, which was the ship from the Liu Gonggong Weaving Bureau to Yuegang. Miss Zheng has instructed that what is the identity of Master Sun and Master Li, and the verification of the warehouse should be done by me. ”

Miao Ruiyun smiled with satisfaction: "How clever you are, how can I not be at ease." As for Miss Zheng, she has always tried her best to support women, and you are using this convenience well. There are more and more big ships in Shanghai County. ”

A few days later, after the Liaohai Sea froze in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, the first cargo ship from Dengzhou slowly entered the port, and settled between a large number of ships sailing from Zhejiang.

"The eldest son! Zheng is in charge! ”

Xu San shouted, walked quickly from the gangplank of the firewood boat, boarded the trestle, and went straight to Mao Chengbei and Zheng Haizhu.

Behind him is Zheng Haizhu's intelligence chief, Wu Bangde.
