The sea route from Qiongya Island to Dongbin Port is not long, that is, the shortest channel is not taken, as long as there is the help of wind and waves, you can reach it in half an hour.

A laborer unloaded a bag of grain, and saw a beast-like warship sailing at the junction of the sea and the sky, and when the ship got closer, he could see the Xuanse Lu Zi flag, and inform everyone that this was the ship of the owner's family on the southern island.

Nine shades are thirty zhang long and fifteen zhang wide, and it is a rare big ship in the world, and the strongest iron wood is used, the hull strength is extremely high, and some of them are wrapped with copper and iron sheets.

Knowledgeable people understand that the fleet of the Lu family on Qiongya Island has hundreds of large ships, and the large ships of more than 30 zhang can only be driven so fast by the Lu family.

A maritime merchant hugged his chest and said to his companions: "According to legend, the boat of the head of the Lu family was made of teak, and this big ship of iron power wood should be driven by the junior of the Lu family." ”

There was also an old laborer pressing the young man next to him: "Bow your head quickly, this boat is a real fairy!" ”

When the ship docked, the people on board had no intention of interfering with the rest of the people's business, nor did they send guards to drive away passers-by.

Lu Ying asked the crew to be optimistic about Jiuyou, and asked the ship's deputy to take care of these people.

"Don't be a prostitute, drink in moderation." He was stern, "Violators get off the boat."

Harvest said solemnly: "Yes! ”

After arranging the crew, Lu Ying rode the old donkey off the boat, and Jiang Ping led the rabbit to follow.

Many people looked at this child who was dressed like a snow ball in surprise, and those who had good eyes and were close, only felt that Lu Ying looked like a fairy child.

The Lu family's tallness, longevity, and beauty have been passed down from generation to generation, making the statement that they have "divine blood" flowing in their bodies very convincing, although the rain god is not a god with a wide range of believers like the Bodhisattva Jade Emperor, but only the god will leave such a powerful and magical bloodline.

Riding a donkey out of two hundred meters, there is a cargo ship slightly smaller than Jiuyou by the harbor, which is the most common sand ship along the coast, although the ability to break the waves is poor, and the speed is not comparable with the lucky ship like Jiuyou, but the cargo capacity is large, and the cost is cheaper, so it has been the most favored ship type in the Central Plains since the sugar generation, and even occupies the mainstream position in the warship.

One-on-one, it is naturally more powerful to ship like Jiuyou.

Several of the family members got out of the big sand boat and raised their hands to signal the people in front of the road to get out of the way and make way for the master's house.

A young man in a royal blue shirt got off the boat, with a faint arrogance on his face, and his style was much more than Lu Ying's.

Lu Ying asked casually: "Who is that?" ”

Jiang Ping said with a smile: "It's the Li family's little showman, it looks like the age is right, I heard that he won the fourth place in Binzhou in the Tong test in April last year, and the fourteen-year-old young man is not bad." ”

Lu Ying sighed, and she didn't take it seriously.

The Li family is one of the famous merchants in Guangfu, if it is said that the Yun, Song, Zheng, and Qiu of Huguang monopolized the rivers and private salt there, circled a large area of land, and colluded with the martial arts sect, they are the strongest of the heroes, but the status of the Li family in Guangfu is not worse than the four families.

The Li family does not sell smuggled salt, but guards Dongbin Port, and the fat sea trade business not only feeds the Li family, but also feeds the Liao family, the Xiong family, and the Xie family, but in the final analysis, all maritime merchants have to rely on the routes opened up and guarded by the Lu family to make money.

What's more, the big head of the sea trade was also eaten by the Lu family, all the ports on Qiongya Island are surnamed Lu, and they are more authoritative than the government on the island, Li, Liao, Xiong, and Xie are just eating leftovers, and Lu Ying has accounts at home, so she naturally knows that these families are only shrimp compared to their family.

Sure enough, when Li Jiaxiu saw Lu Ying and Jiang Ping, his eyes stayed on Jiang Ping for a moment, and he recognized that this was the guard next to Lu Fang, hesitated for a while, and then bowed to Lu Ying.

"Lu Gongzi."

Lu Ying rode on a donkey and bowed to him: "Li Gongzi." ”

Li Guangjun wanted to be polite, and if he could, he also wanted to have a friendship with this descendant of the rain god, but unexpectedly, Lu Ying had already ridden away on a donkey.

As the only son of the prefect, Qiu Yu is also the first Yanai in Binzhou, but he is not interested in bullying men and women, and usually has a cold face, and the little adults are generally busy with the coconut oil business to make money for the family.

Only when she heard that Lu Ying came to the door did Qiu Yu be willing to put down the account book and go to open the door of Qiu Mansion in person.

"Yingying." Qiu Yu picked up the fragrant and soft Lu Ying from the donkey's back, and said with concern, "Are you well?" I think

Your face is ruddy, Granny Yue is really good at raising children. ”

Lu Ying pinched his face and said dissatisfiedly: "I almost vomited when I ate blood tonic medicinal food at home, didn't you say that you would take me for the New Year?" Why do you want me to come looking for you? ”

Qiu Yu was pinched and spoke slurredly: "I'm busy with the things I need to prepare in the countryside, and I really can't squeeze out time." ”

Lu Ying: "You also want to go to the countryside?" ”

"Also?" Qiu Yu and Lu Ying looked at each other.

Lu Ying raised her small chin: "I'm done." ”

Qiu Yu straightened his sideburns: "That's really good." ”

Saying that, he took Lu Ying to visit the Qiu Governor's Mansion.

Qiu Zhifu was busy chanting poems with Qing Ke, knowing that Qiu Yu was not even good enough to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, so he only waved his hand impatiently and asked his son to get out.

Treating this child who was unwilling to take the road of the imperial examination and was driven down the mountain to learn martial arts, the Qiu Governor's pain must be painful, but he was not happy to let him come out and be embarrassed on this beautiful day.

Lu Ying saw something, and when she was pulled away by Qiu Yu, she said lightly: "The people in the study today are all lacking a little aura, no one can have a masterpiece, and it's okay not to listen to their nagging." ”

&

nbsp; Qiu Yu: "Poof, you don't have to be harsh, in fact, in Binzhou City, they are already the top batch of readers......

Compared with Qin Zhanying's calligraphy and painting SSR, his old man and the literati in Binzhou must not have enough aura!

Then Qiu Yu said: "I really don't want to listen to them, I want to see if the old people in the countryside are freezing and hungry than that, it's almost the New Year, I want to help them make this New Year better." ”

Since Lu Ying is here, it is natural to go to the countryside to give gifts together, Qiu Yu's Hakka dialect is not fluent enough, and she has to count on her friends when communicating with uncles and grandmothers in the south.

Lu Ying agreed to help, and said, "These words are not difficult to learn, why haven't you learned them yet?" ”

Qiu Yu was full of confidence: "Give me another month, I will definitely be done, I still have to turn the accent of English and Dongying, and the progress of so many languages has to be promoted, so it is a little slower." ”

Lu Ying's eyes widened, if Qiu Yu could learn Hakka, Min and Cantonese in just one month, and twist his foreign accent, then his language talent would be very powerful.

Qiu Yu took him into the kitchen: "When it comes to the imperial examination of calligraphy and painting, I am not as good as a person, I think, but if you want to talk about language talent, no one can compare with me." ”

Because she helped Lu Xiaoxuan take in some refugees, Qiu Yu didn't have much money on hand, and the materials she could send out were relatively limited, only 1,000 catties of miscellaneous grain steamed buns.

The kitchen was full of steamers, and the steam carried the aroma of grain into the nose, Qiu Yu personally picked up the steamer, took the steamed buns with tongs, bagged them in the car, and drove to the countryside.

Lu Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and asked someone to transfer a batch of estimated clothes from the cloth village, these second-hand clothes look undecent, but there are hundreds of them, and in the south of Guangfu, it is enough to keep out the cold.

"Most of those who are really poor do not have strong men at home who can guard the house, even if they are given good clothes to wear, they are easy to be robbed."

Qiu Yu was curious: "This is the experience you gained from going to the countryside?" ”

Lu Ying bowed: "Yes, if I don't go to the countryside, I won't know these things, it can be seen that there are many benefits to going to the countryside, and I will go to the fields more in the future." ”

Qiu Yu gave a thumbs up: "Very good, very energetic!" ”

Considering the profession that Eiko will be engaged in in the future, it is also a good thing for the common people that he can light up the skill of field research now.

This is about the happiest New Year Lu Ying has ever had in her life, although the villain's family has not spent a few New Year's Eve in total.

Qiu Yu took the servants and drove several carriages to the countryside to distribute steamed buns and clothes, and Lu Ying rode a donkey to follow the side, and saw Qiu Yu picking up steamed buns with a flat pole to knock on the house of the uncle and grandmother.

After sending the steamed buns and clothes, they walked around Binzhou hand in hand, and when the Lu family couldn't bear it and wanted to come to them, they learned from the mouth of the Qiu Governor that Qiu Yu had gone to the Mazu Temple with Lu Ying, the most incense nearby.

They're going to rob! Head! Fragrant!

People by the sea believe in Mazu, and every child who grows up by the sea is protected by Mazu Niangniang.

Qiu Yu just wanted to take Lu Ying to enjoy the excitement of the New Year, but unexpectedly, Yingying's children were super energetic, and the child got up on time at zero o'clock, changed into festive red clothes, pulled Qiu Yu, and put on a red dress for him.

Qiu Yu covered it

The face, crumbling, has to lie back in bed at any moment.

"Yingying, why do you get up so early? It's not dawn yet! ”

"When it's dawn, what kind of incense are you grabbing!" Lu Ying said, "It's too late to go now." ”

Qiu Yu: "Huh? ”

Until she was pulled outside the Mazu Temple by Lu Ying, Qiu Yu was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Under the dark night sky, countless lanterns hung on the eaves and propped up on bamboo trellises, illuminating the entire street, and the streets were full of people!

People gathered in one place, and the sound of their conversation formed a huge wave that spread to half of the East Shore City.

And at the end of the road, there is the Mazu Temple.

Qiu Yu: "This, is this the enthusiasm of Mazu believers?" ”

Lu Ying smiled proudly: "We are all Mazu's children, as long as you go to sea, Niangniang will look at us." ”

He held Qiu Yu's hand and nodded his palm: "I'm okay, I'll go anywhere when I get to sea, the wind and rain will only be my help, as for you, when you go to sea in the future, you have to ask Mazu Niangniang to bless you." ”

Qiu Yu joked: "Bless me not to fall into the sea when I go to sea?" ”

Lu Ying said seriously: "It is to bless you that you will not encounter danger at sea in the future, and if you do, I can come to catch you in time." ”

In the midst of countless voices, Yingying's words fell on Qiu Yu's ears, he squatted down and held Lu Ying's hand: "Then thank you for reassuring me, Yingying, thank you very much." ”

Thank you, who are cold and ruthless in the history books, so vivid and beautiful in front of me, and give me friendship with sincere words.

Qiu Yu looked in the direction of the Mazu Temple: "It seems that I have to grab this incense tonight." ”

Lu Ying reminded: "It's difficult. ”

Qiu Yu picked him up: "But the head incense is the most effective, I have to use this magic incense to tell Mazu Niangniang, let her love Yingying more, bless you with good health and longevity." ”

After saying this, Qiu Yu was angry and dantian, his feet were strong, and he rose into the air with light skills.

"Let's go!"

Lu Ying snorted softly, hugged Qiu Yu's neck, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
