271 Return to Hubei
All the ships follow these ancient customs and rules, whether in Weishui Hanshui or the big rivers, everything runs so naturally and smoothly.
This light white-sailed pleasure boat was originally shuttling fast in the middle of the channel, but at this moment, there is a large boat with a deep draft going straight downstream. The ships on both sides avoided one after another, not for anything else, but for the plain white mourning flag tied on the bow of the ship, which was clearly a mourning ship used to receive spirits. If you don't want to get into trouble, you have to avoid it.
The owner of the pleasure boat hurriedly pulled out the red flag to make way for the main channel, and the white sailboat had just swung out of the middle stream, and the sailors on the funeral ship roared in unison like thunder: "Thank you—" The roar echoed, and the big mourning ship pressed over like a hill------
Half an hour later, the white sail cruise ship and the funeral boat both docked at Weiyang Wharf. Yang, northward also, Weiyang wharf is the most important material and personnel distribution center for goods transported in and out of Wangji by water, and the throughput of goods and tourists is huge. All the goods entering and leaving Wangji by waterway must be inspected at Weiyang Wharf, and then they can be traded in and out, or out of Weishui and into the big river, or into Weiyang and into Hojing.
On the wharf, a group of white-clothed mourning processions were already waiting, all with solemn expressions and solemn eyes, watching the mourning boat with white flags slowly approaching the shore. Seeing the ship rumbling and dropping the stone anchor, three sets of large and heavy wooden planks stretched out from the side of the ship and rested on the large rocks on the shore. A white-clothed deacon slowly stepped down from the plank on the side of the ship, bowed deeply to the hearse, and shouted a long time: "I respectfully invite the second princess to return to China—"
With a wave of his hand, Bo Yan quickly got into the hearse and quietly tinkered with the coffin for a while, and the coffin board on the top was unloaded. A petite woman crawled out panting, her beautiful face was slightly pale because she had not seen the light of day for a long time, Rao was so, at this moment of seeing the light of day again, she immediately expressed her gratitude to Bo Yan: "Thank you Zhuangshi, please return to summon Gong and General Ziliang. Great kindness, uncle is unforgettable!"
It turns out that this coffin board is double-layered, and it is not a problem for a petite woman to hide in the middle of the mezzanine. There is no problem in the cat for a day or two, this is the ingenuity of Zhao Bohu, and only Mi Bo and Boyan know the mystery in the coffin in the funeral procession. Using this method to send herself out of the city, the uncle is grateful.
Boyan sighed and asked, "Uncle girl, the big ship of the Fan Kingdom has arrived. You can put on filial piety clothes and act as the second lady's maid and follow to Fanguo, anyway, the two countries are not far apart, how about it?"
Shu Yu shook her head firmly: "No, the two countries of Fanhu have become enemies because of the matter of the queen, and they are separated by a big river, which is not very convenient. Besides----" She lifted the corner of the curtain slightly and glanced at the water, and her eyes suddenly showed a look of joy: "The boat that came to pick me up has come, and the slave and maid will not dare to disturb the spirit of the second lady of your mansion anymore!"
"Oh?" Boyan was taken aback: "Where?"
"The white sail on the water, with a small red flag embroidered with copper grass flowers on it, is the agreed signal. Ehou sent someone to pick me up!"
Bo Yan turned his face to look, and sure enough, he saw a white sailing boat parked on one side, with a red flag on the bow of the boat, faintly embroidered with some pattern, but it was too far away to see clearly, and he couldn't help but admire: "It turns out that the uncle and the girl have already arranged it, so I will escort you while they go to unload the rear car!"
"Thank you, little family!"
The white-sailed boat with the red flag planted in the Weishui channel sped up. It was not until twilight that we finally arrived at the confluence of Weishui and the Great River (Yellow River). There was a faint fog on the water, shrouding a painting boat.
The master of Bai Fan arched his hand: "Uncle girl, the lord has been waiting on the boat for a few days."
Uncle Concubine raised her eyes and saw a person walking out of the painting boat, freshly dressed and picturesque, beckoning from afar: "Uncle Concubine, you have worked hard for my country, and the widow is here to welcome you back——"
Before she could finish her words, her uncle's eyes were already filled with tears. The sparkling water surface and the magnificent painting boat have all become the background of this man, and he is the only one in the world. And he was smiling at her and waving to her, which had never been done before------ for a while, she was a little stunned, and she was stunned for a long time before she was helped into the painting boat by the servants.
As soon as you enter the cabin,
The uncle immediately knelt on the ground and wept and pleaded: "Please surrender to the lord." Uncle Concubine failed to help the lord recapture the Copper Green Mountain, and failed to take care of the princess, so that she was young and went away. The slave and maid are sorry for the weight entrusted by the lord, please surrender the lord!"
"What sin thou hast sins?" E Yufang's deep voice echoed in the cabin: "You are just a little palace maid, how much can you contribute to such a military event?" Don't cry any more, and tell me the princess in detail. Remember, no detail is left out."
"No!"
Uncle Yu wiped away her tears, brushed away her chaotic thoughts, and told in detail what happened to Eyao after she entered the palace, especially what happened after the second prince Shang's father left the palace.
When he heard King Zhou's order to throw E Yao's body into the mass grave of Xuanning Palace, he finally couldn't help but have a seizure, he pushed down the table in front of him, stood up proudly, and said angrily: "Zhou is so mean and unkind? Thinking that my ancestors offended Chu Man in order to follow King Xianmu, my father was beheaded, and the country of Hubei was almost destroyed. But the king of Yi had no mercy at all, and took my Tonglu Mountain and handed it over to Suiguo. The widow kindly sent his sister into the palace to serve, but King Yi poured safflower on her and sterilized her, and Jihu Xiao'er was even more ruthless, intent on taking her life with ginkgo poison juice."
"Okay," he muttered, "You are unkind, I am unjust, from today onwards, my country will no longer be stupid and at the mercy of the Zhou royal family!" The widow will take back everything that belongs to my country with the sword in his hand!"
In the willow forest by the pond in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is a summer afternoon, and the sound of cicadas is continuous, and ordinary people are the most unbearable to such undulating noise. But Zhao Bohu is not, only feel the cool breeze, do not hear the harsh cicadas, only feel that this quiet willow forest is the most comfortable place to cool off, every time there is a major event, or when the mind is restless, will come to the willow forest to wander around and then break.
What's more, what Boyan came to perform today is not enough for outsiders, and it is most suitable for talking in this willow forest. The cacophony of cicadas is also a special cover color, isn't it?
"In this way, when that uncle lived in Sima Mansion, she communicated with the outside world. In this way, Ehou will send someone to pick her up at the Weiyang Ferry?" Zhao Bohu said to himself in a low voice, this shows that Eguo has its own intelligence sources and systems in Haojing, but there is a deep meaning behind this? But what can be said? It is not uncommon for the vassal states to have their own eyes and ears in Ho Kyoto.
"The villain thinks so." Boyan paused and whispered, "I don't want my uncle to look delicate and weak, but she is so hidden when she does things. There are notices everywhere in the pickaxe capital, and I don't know how she got the news?"
Uncle Mi on the side couldn't help but interject, "What's so strange about this? Who in the pickaxe capital doesn't know that Sima Mansion is a place where wind leaks on all sides, and peddlers and pawns come and go at will, so is it difficult for the spies of the Hubei State to go in and get the news?"
Zhao Bohu's eyes glanced at him slightly, and Uncle Mi quickly shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak again. Zhao Bohu was quite sympathetic and said to Boyan: "This road is full of wind and dust, and I am afraid that people are sleepy and tired. Let's go back and rest!"
"No!"
Seeing Boyan's thin figure disappear from the willow forest, Zhao Bohu said with a slight dismay: "Boyan is capable and capable, don't always target him because of his background!"
"Yes, the old slave understands." Rao is boss in his heart was unhappy, and Uncle Mi still didn't dare to say more.
When Boyan came out of the willow forest, he did not go back to rest as Zhao Bohu had instructed, but went to the stable to take out his white horse, jumped on it and hurried to another block. Hokyo was not allowed to gallop in the market, and no matter how anxious he was, he had to walk slowly.
The reason why this is so is because he has a huge mystery in his heart, and if he does not solve it, he will be restless. The place where he took over the task of returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion to restore his life, instead of coming back with the funeral procession, was to come back as soon as possible to determine that one thing - whether the woman's voice coming from the carriage of the third prince Ji Ci was his own mother Suifei?
Speaking of the surname of the concubine, nine out of ten people in the world will think of Chen Guo. Because Chen was not only a descendant of Emperor Shun, but also became one of the major vassal states of the Central Plains at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty because King Wu of Zhou married his eldest daughter Daji to Marquis Chen.
When King Zhou Xiao proposed marriage to his sister-in-law Ji Hui, the first choice was naturally the Jiang princess of Qi State, but it was unfortunate
At that time, the Marquis of Qi was old, and there was no one of the right age to marry. If you don't choose the daughter of the clan or the daughter of the side branch, the Zhou royal family doesn't look down on it, so they pick and choose, and they finalize the princess of Chen Guo. The reason why she is called Sui Concubine is because her mother is from Sui Kingdom. Zhou Xiaowang Ji Pifang had a calculation in his heart for a while, Chen is a big country, and he is a concubine, how can he be worthy of his son, so he solemnly made a dowry and asked Chen Guo for marriage.
After the concubine got married, she gave birth to two sons in a row, and it was smooth sailing. I didn't want Ji Hui to lose in the battle for the throne and left the Qi country, and I never came back. Not only was the queen's dream shattered, but her own life also plummeted, and once upon a time, there was no corn to satisfy her hunger for several days. And Chen Guo is the younger brother born to her stepmother, where will he help her? Then the concubine called the heavens should not be, and the earth and the earth were not spiritual.
At this time, the Zhou Mansion reached out to her, and when a woman came to this point, what else could she rely on except for the few remaining two points of beauty? Then the concubine married into the Zhou Mansion as the second son's concubine, and since then she has also cut off contact with her eldest son Ji Boyan.
