Chapter 231: A Year Can't Wait a Year
Longjiangguan wharf outside the city of Beijing is the center of Daming water transportation, every day is people come and go, the post is endless, two major events have happened here in the past two years, one is that Sheng Yong organized soldiers and horses to resist the Yan army in Puzikou on the opposite side, the two sides fought extremely hot, and the corpses almost piled up to block the Yangtze River.
After Zhu Di entered Beijing, the imperial court began to expand the Longjiang Shipyard this year, expanding to the south from the original site, crossing the Qinhuai River, and directly reaching Xiabao, Zhongbao, Baobao Village and the Sanchao River area.
In today's words, the Ming Dynasty is under the guarantee, the middle is guaranteed, and the three villages of the report village are going to be demolished.
This village is probably located near Caochangmen Street in the later generations, and to the north of it is the new site of the expanded shipyard.
Early this morning, villager He Erniu pushed a cart of fresh fish into Nanjing City.
The He family has lived on the Yangtze River for generations, making a living from fishing, and his father He Tiezhu sometimes goes to the shipyard to help, because He Tiezhu can also build ships, but he is not a serious shipwright, and when the shipyard is busy, he will ask him to help.
This will not be able to go to the shipyard to do odd jobs, He Tiezhu has a clan brother who is in charge of the shipyard to do this.
The ancestors of the He family have lived on the edge of the Yangtze River for generations, but they didn't expect to encounter demolition, but this may not be able to be demolished and relocated like later generations, the demolition of the Ming Dynasty is basically a field for land, how much land do you have, how much land does the court give you elsewhere, and the house may also be a house for a house, so that you can move elsewhere, or lose some money, but it is impossible to give the lion a chance to open his mouth.
Because there are people in the shipyard, He Tiezhu's family encountered an opportunity this time, the He family will be recruited as a shipwright and transferred to the Fujian Changle Shipyard.
Originally, the imperial court also expanded the shipyard in Longjiang, and also drew more than 400 from the provinces to the shipyard, He Tiezhu originally wanted to enter the Longjiang shipyard nearby, but the clan brother said that Fujian was well treated, He Tiezhu thought about it, and decided to go to Fujian.
But He Erniu is not happy, he doesn't want to go to Fujian, and he doesn't deal with his father at home these days.
Because more than a year ago, they fished up a beautiful little lady in the long river.
He Erniu likes this little lady, but this little lady doesn't like him.
But it doesn't matter, He Erniu is willing to do anything for this little lady.
Early this morning, he pushed the fish from the Yangtze River in the early morning to Jingshi to sell, and as soon as he returned to the village, he saw a little lady watching from the entrance of the village from a distance.
This little lady is the yellow cherry that jumped the mountain and didn't die.
Huang Ying will be thin and dark, and she will look no different from an ordinary peasant girl.
She stood near He's house early in the morning, and when He Erniu came back, Huang Ying hurriedly greeted her.
"Chunxiao girl."
"Brother Erniu." Huang Ying said excitedly.
"Today, I have sold a lot, and the white strips are popular." He Erniu patted the bulging copper wallet on his back, which was full of copper coins.
Huang Ying was a little moved, if it weren't for the fact that she already had Zhu Gaoxu in her heart, the honest and honest He Erniu would actually be a husband.
"Brother Erniu, when are you leaving?" Huang Ying asked.
He Erniu showed reluctance on his face, and muttered: "There are probably three or four days, I see that in the past few days, many people have come to the shipyard to go around the village." β
Huang Ying nodded, she also saw it.
So she bit her lip and whispered, "I want to -ββ I want to leave today." β
He Erniu was stunned for a moment, his expression was even more reluctant, but he didn't say much, just stammered: "Don't wait a few more days -ββ-ββ I can still sell fish for a few days-ββ"
"No need, I-" Huang Ying didn't know what to say, but she felt a little sorry for He Erniu.
After she was rescued, He Erniu's father and son took good care of her, because He Tiezhu originally wanted his son to marry her as a daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect Huang Yingtie to leave, and He Tiezhu regretted it now.
"You wait, I'll go get the silver." He Erniu said and turned around and ran.
Huang Ying lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
He Erniu ran home and rummaged through the cabinets, and quickly turned out a box from under the bed, opened the box, and put a lot of broken silver in it, adding up to almost a dozen taels.
He packed them all, put them in a package with the usual copper coins on his back, and was ready to go out after he was ready.
"Stop." He Tiezhu's face was blue and blocked at the door: "You are an unfilial son, eat inside and out, put down the silver." β
"Dad, what are you doing?" He Erniu hugged the silver tightly: "Miss Chunxiao is very pitiful, she wants to find her husband." β
"Are you crazy and giving your money to others to find your husband? How did I give birth to such a stupid son of yours. He Tiezhu almost got angry with a mouthful of old blood.
Huang Ying wanted to stay and marry He Erniu, he smashed the pot and sold iron, and he was willing to give as much as the dowry, but now he actually wanted to find his husband, of course He Tiezhu didn't do it.
"Chunxiao is a good girl, Dad, you know."
Huang Ying was recuperated in their family for two months, and then her performance was quite good, not to mention the knowledge, and she was willing to go to the field to help, she did not have the coquettishness of an ordinary daughter, and the father and son of the He family saw it in their eyes, they all liked Huang Ying very much, and knew that she was a good girl.
"If the good girl is not from our family, she can leave, you can put down the silver." He Tiezhu said angrily.
"She's a girl's house, how can she get on the road without silver." He Erniu said.
He Tiezhu's eyes were full of stars, he looked left and right, and reached out to pick up a wooden stick from the side of the house: "Your special mother is sick in the brain, isn't it?" Lao Tzu wakes you up. β
rushed up to beat his son.
But he is old, and that is He Erniu's opponent.
He Erniu gently let go, pushed, avoided He Tiezhu, and rushed out of the house directly.
Outside, Huang Ying was stunned and watched the two fathers and sons run out one after the other.
He Erniu ran to her and delivered the package to her: "Miss Chunxiao, go quickly." β
There are always many copper coins in this bag, and before Huang Ying could speak, He Tiezhu rushed out: "If you want to go, you can leave the money, Chunxiao, you have a little conscience, we saved you, you can't harm us." β
"Daddy." He Erniu stepped forward and hugged his father and asked Huang Ying to leave quickly.
Huang Ying didn't leave, she didn't leave, she could only say with tears in her eyes: "Uncle He, your father and son helped me today, I will always remember it, if Chunxiao can survive, in the future, it will definitely be returned a hundred times and a thousand times." β
"Believe in you, you money-scammer." Of course He Tiezhu didn't believe it.
But it was useless not to believe it, his son hugged him tightly, and Huang Ying bowed deeply to them, turned around and walked away quickly with the package.
"Ahh He Tiezhu's eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
The money for his son's wife is gone.
Huang Ying left Xiabao Village quickly, and along the way, she saw people from the shipyard checking the terrain around, and many officials and officers appeared.
She was a little panicked, because she already knew that the men in her family had been punished, and the women had entered the education department.
She and He Erniu have been to Jingshi several times, and they are all selling fish, and now they are going to Jingshi along their memories.
After walking for a while, he suddenly found that there was a fishy smell on his body, and then he came back to his senses, He Erniu was with the fish all day long, and there was an unpleasant smell of fish belly in this package.
But Huang Ying didn't care, she still carried it on her back, and then suddenly bent down, found some wet dirt on the nearby ditch, wiped it on her face, and suddenly she became a stinky and dirty ugly girl.
After entering the Beijing Division, Huang Ying first found an inn to live in, but she didn't dare to wash her face too cleanly, and she always had to leave some mud on her face before she dared to go out.
She went to her hometown first to take a look and found that it had been occupied.
Zhu Di rewarded the Huangfu to Huo Zhen, Huo Zhen disliked the small house before, Zhu Di got the news and immediately rewarded Huo Zhen.
Nanjing City is so big, but Huang Ying can't find an acquaintance, and she doesn't dare to find an acquaintance.
After some hesitation, Huang Ying prepared to go to Yunnan the next day.
Because she already knew that Zhu Gaoxu was named the king of Han and became the king of Yunnan.
But she only has a dozen taels of silver on her, and she is another girl, whether she can go to Yunnan is a problem.
But she didn't hesitate, and still made up her mind to go to Yunnan to find Zhu Gaoxu.
The afternoon before departure, Huang Ying came to the cave shrine.
The cave shrine is the same as before, with people coming and going outside, and tourists everywhere.
Huang Ying stared blankly at everything outside the Cave God Palace, and her mind was full of pictures of Zhu Gaoxu accompanying her that day.
That day should be the happiest day since Huang Ying was born, Zhu Gaoxu accompanied her shopping, bought her pollen, rouge and pearl hairpins, and took her to tell fortunes.
Huang Ying was the happiest that day.
It's a pity that such a beautiful day may never come again.
Hey, just then, she saw a fortune-telling sign erected high.
"The two families are restrained by each other, destined for yin and yang, the original marriage path is unpredictable, and the sky is on each side, but if the two can insist on themselves and wish each other, they will definitely be able to achieve positive results in the future."
The fortune teller's words echoed in his mind again.
Huang Ying couldn't help but walk over, she wanted to see if it was still the previous fortune teller, and wanted to ask you if your fortune was accurate.
Unexpectedly, when she walked over and looked, she seemed to be a strange and familiar person.
She stared at the fortune teller, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
At this moment, the fortune teller also noticed her and stared at her deadly.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
The fortune teller suddenly became ecstatic: "Miss Huang." β
Huang Ying looked at him in horror.
"I'm Song Changlin, a subordinate of King Han." Song Changlin took off the fortune-telling hat and the beard under his chin.
The expression on Huang Ying's face went from frightened to joyful, and then she couldn't help it, wow, she cried directly on the spot.
In the past year or so, she has had a hard time by the Yangtze River, but the moment she saw Song Changlin, she felt that all the hard work was worth it.
"Yesβdid King Han tell you to wait for me here?" Huang Ying cried.
Song Changlin's expression was a little strange, but he immediately said: "King Han said that Miss Huang may not be dead, let me wait here, if Miss Huang is not dead, she will definitely come back, you can't wait a day, you can't wait a year." β
Huang Ying suddenly cried into tears.
Song Changlin hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Don't cry, this is the street, go, go." "Take Huang Ying and hurry away.
Song Changlin cleaned up and took Huang Ying to the house they bought.
There is a family of five people, some old and some young, living in the house.
The old man was very strange when he saw Song Changlin bring back a woman.
Song Changlin pulled the old man to the side and whispered, "It's Huang Zicheng's daughter Huang Ying." β
"Ah, she's not dead." The old man said happily.
This old man is none other than Chen Wen's father, Uncle Chen.
