"If you die, I can't serve the court anymore, and the glory of Anyuan Houfu will be taken away by you."

"Whatever you want, I don't know anything when I'm dead."

Han Ji turned around and walked into the rain curtain.

Chapter 109: You can't talk to your eldest sister

The sound of the rain outside the window became smaller, but the sound of the wind was not weaker at all, the knocker slapped on the wooden door, and the window paper was blown by the wind that was squeezed in the cracks of the wooden planks, like a mouse pulling in a rice tank, which sounded very disturbing. Haizhu walked over and pulled down the damp window paper, walked to the door and moved the table, the deadbolt was removed, the two wooden doors suddenly opened, and the cool wind poured in, She subconsciously squinted.

"It's cool." Dongzhu put down the sand table and ran over, stood at the door and watched the rain dripping in the tile ditch, the bucket that received the rain under the eaves was overflowing, and the water flowed into the fine sand, disappearing silently.

"When the rain stops, are we going to go to the beach to catch fish?" Dongzhu asked, "I don't know if any big fish have been pushed to the beach by the tide this time."

Feng Ping came out of Grandma Qi's house, he wore a straw hat and ran barefoot to the yard, Shiohei followed closely behind him, and the brothers stepped on the sand on the ground barefoot.

After three days of rain, the sand and gravel in the yard were washed away, the fishy smell disappeared, and the mint, onion and garlic in the corner of the wall smelled particularly strong and fragrant after the rain.

"Huh?" Haizhu shouted, "Milk, Chaoping took off his pants and wanted to go down to the old turtle's puddle to tread water."

As soon as Grandma Qi heard this, she immediately pinched the flat bamboo piece and came out, Chaoping ran away with her pants when she saw it, and ran around the yard with her bare butt and a big straw hat.

"If you are naughty again, I will call your third uncle to beat you." Grandma Qi took the flat bamboo pieces and walked to the eaves, muttering: "The bigger it is, the more noisy it is, I haven't been sensible when I was a child." ”

Chaoping squinted his eyes and stuck out his tongue, standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking at Haizhu, "Sue the essence." ”

"Hit him." Haizhu makes the wind and fights on behalf of the peace.

Feng Ping immediately ran over, hugged Chaoping and slapped him loudly on the buttocks, and Chaoping hugged him with his backhand and screamed.

"Don't talk to your eldest sister." Fengping patted him again.

Haizhu smiled, "Do you still say that I am a complainant?" ”

Shiohei shook his head knowingly.

Grandma Qi smiled, "You are the youngest in this family, and if you don't learn to be obedient, you will be beaten if you thorn in your mouth." ”

"Beat whom?" Qi Laosan knocked on the door outside, "Come here and open the door for me." ”

He entered the door to see that Chaoping had a bare ass, glared at him and asked him to put on his pants, "Are you ashamed?" Who is running around with a bare ass when you're your age? ”

After saying that, he went into the kitchen to fetch water into his second brother's house, and after a while, he pushed the person out refreshingly, "It's cool after the rain, you sit under the eaves and blow the wind." ”

It was already evening, but the sky was brighter than the rainstorm in the morning, and looking at the sky through the fine rain threads, the sky was clear, and a few thin flocculent clouds were floating in the wind.

"Go to the beach? We'll take your third aunt with us. Qi Laosan said.

Haizhu said okay and asked him to push the wooden cart out of the house, she and Dongzhu tied their hair in a bun and wrapped it in a headscarf, went out and took a straw hat and left.

Feng Ping also wanted to go, he followed out with his eyes, and followed him to the mouth of the alley.

Haizhu couldn't stand him like this, and waved him to follow, "When you get to the beach, don't walk around, just sit on the wooden cart and guard the car." ”

"Okay." Fengping was happy.

When Chaoping put on his pants and shoes and ran out of the door, he couldn't see anyone, so he hurried to the mouth of the alley and shouted to the people who walked away.

Qi Laosan glanced back and saw that his mother was also there, so he didn't care, turned his head and strode away.

"What howl? Who made your legs short. Grandma Qi pulled her little grandson back, "It's not that they won't come back, you howl like your brother and sister sold you to me." ”

Chaoping wiped his tears, he also wanted to grow up.

"Big fish on the beach?" The people in the alley opened the door and asked, "Why didn't I hear the guard's notice?" ”

"I didn't notice, my third child brought a few small ones over to take a look." Grandma Qi said.

"Junko, you also go to the beach to have a look." The old grandmother called out to her son, "You can't sleep enough during the day, you can't sleep at night, you can't wake up in the morning, you live like a mouse in a hole." ”

Chaoping was amused, and the yawning man came out with the basket, and he smiled and called Uncle Mouse.

Grandma Qi gave him a slap, this kid is quite underbeaten now, and it is less than eight times a day.

……

When Haizhu and the others arrived at the beach, they found that someone had already come over, and there were two or three dead fish in the big bamboo basket they were carrying.

"No big fish?" She asked.

"The east wind blows on the sea, and the tide swells eastward, not toward the shore." There is no high tide or low tide, and naturally there are no big fish stranded.

In the distance came a few men, who had come and gone back, carrying fishing nets, and when they came to the beach, they wrapped ropes around their waists, and two of them went into the water with their nets on their backs, and the remaining three dragged the ropes.

The people of the seashore gathered around, and the fishing nets were cast and the ropes were stretched to the west, and the people who watched the bustle dispersed in a hurry, and each went home to get his net.

"Haizhu, I'll go back and get the net, you watch here and don't go into the water." Qi Laosan also strode back.

"Pull the net—" shouted the man in the water.

The rope was tied to the reef and watched by one man, and two men jumped into the sea, and the four of them pulled a net of fish to the shore together, and after three steps, they were dragged back two steps by the struggling fish, and a wave came over, and the four were dragged to the sea.

The few remaining onlookers on the shore hurriedly ran over and pulled the rope to drag the person back. A net of fish was finally dragged up, and there were only two leg-long fish and three herring fish in the net, and the rest of the shrimp and crabs and smaller fish slipped out of the net.

The two men with ropes tied around their waists lifted the hem of their clothes, dragging them forward and backward with all their might, and their waists were strangled with terrible red marks.

Bei Niang waved her hand to Haizhu, she felt that it was too dangerous, so she should not go into the water.

Haizhu understood the meaning, nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to eat fish, let's buy two and go back." ”

The people who took the nets came one after another, and these people came as soon as they came, and they were all of the same clan, some of them went down to the sea to cast nets, and some dragged ropes to pull people on the shore. Qi Laosan walked over with a fishing net on his back, he looked at the people scattered on the beach, and he didn't need Bei Niang to say more, he himself was not obsessed with going to the sea. He took his daughter-in-law and nieces and nephews to cast a net in the shallow water, and luckily caught a pomfret that escaped from the previous net, but was unlucky enough to be covered by the net again, and the fins were dragged ashore on the fishing net line.

"The dishes for the evening are here." Haizhu took the fish and threw it into the bucket.

"Sister, look at the dark clouds on the sea, it's raining heavily on the sea." Winter bead fingers.

The clouds were so low that from the shore to the shore, the clouds were only a foot away from the sea.

"Let's go back, it's going to rain tomorrow." Qi Laosan packed up the fishing nets and put them on the wooden cart, and said: "If the north wind blows at night, and the dark clouds blow over, it will rain for a few days, so let's blow south, hurry up and get out of the sun, the mattress on the bed will smell musty." ”

…

In the middle of the night, Haizhu got up to drink water, she opened the door and went out to find that there were stars in the sky, the east wind turned into a south wind, and the sky was about to be clear.

The rain stopped, the sun came out, the fishermen by the sea came out of their houses and walked out into the street, and the people in Fucheng saw the convoy leaving the city, thinking that it was Admiral Han going to the island. The porter who unloaded the goods on the wharf and the guard who repaired the pavilion saw that the group boarded the ship and headed north along the river after a while, and after a moment of stunned reaction, they put down the work at hand and looked at each other in a daze, and someone hesitated to ask the guard: "Admiral Han and the major general are going back to Kyoto?" ”

The guard shook his head, "I'm a patrolling ......"

Then the news of Admiral Han's father and son leaving Guangzhou spread far and wide.

The boat traveled until mid-afternoon, and after docking, the people on the boat changed boats and left by car, and Han Ji got off the boat with a gloomy face.

"That's it, you go back, for the fishermen who live on this land for your father." Admiral Han got into the carriage, he raised his eyes to look at his son, who was taller than him, remembered what he said on a rainy night, and admonished: "Our ancestors earned glory and wealth with blood and life, so they enjoy fame and fortune, and can be loved and worshiped by the people. Think about it and don't do anything wrong. ”

Han Ji gritted his teeth and squeezed out a dry voice from his throat.

"Let's go." Admiral Han lowered the curtain.

A group of carriages meandered away from the river, and Han Ji watched the carriages and horses go away, and stood in place until the sunset to board the boat and turn back.

"The Major General is back!" In the middle of the night, the guards on the dock were overjoyed, "Major General, we thought you were going back to Kyoto with the Admiral." ”

"The Admiral is gone, and I will guard Quang Nam on his behalf."

……

When the news reached Yongning two days later, Haizhu heard the diners who came to eat discuss the matter, so she ran out with a spoon and asked, "But is it true?" Admiral Han stepped down and returned to Beijing? When was this? ”

"Just two days ago, the news was brought by a merchant ship coming and going, and it shouldn't be wrong. Don't you know? Admiral Han is your stepfather, didn't tell you? ”

Haizhu didn't speak, she took off her apron and went to the street to call her third aunt to come back to cook wontons, she hired a boat from the dock to find Shen Sui, and the two discussed and took a boat to Fucheng that day.

When they arrived at the dock in Fucheng, it was already evening, Haizhu and Shen Sui bought a bunch of oysters at the stall to fill their stomachs, and spent a lot of money to hire a donkey cart to go to Fucheng overnight.

Late at night, the side door of the General's Mansion was slammed, and the porter asked loudly, "Who?" ”

"Haizhu, Admiral Han's righteous daughter." Haizhu replied.

The porter came to open the door, and the lantern was raised high to look closely, and his face matched his memory, and he let the man in, and said, "The admiral has left three days ago, and only the major general is in the house." ”

The subordinate went to the backyard to report, and after a while, he said: "The young general is drunk, can you two rest in the side yard?" ”

can only be like this, Haizhu and Shen Sui were led to the side courtyard by their subordinates with a body of ash and sweat.

At dawn, Han Ji woke up, and the old housekeeper heard the movement coming in from the outside and said, "Miss Qi and Shen Gongzi came over last night, they should have heard the news of the admiral's departure." ”

Han Ji raised his forehead and sighed, took the bowl handed over to drink, lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the face reflected in the bowl, he walked to the bronze mirror, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, his eyes were dark blue, his beard was unkempt, and he looked like a stranger to himself.

"Clean." He spoke up.

"Hey." The old housekeeper brought the basin and took out the knife box to shave Han Ji personally. He served the old master, and when the old master died, he followed him to serve the master, and now he is left to serve the young master.

"Is the Major General awake?" Shen Sui came over and asked.

Han Ji sat up, wiped off his stubble and walked out, seeing that Haizhu and Shen Sui were both outside the door, he walked over and said, "Think I won't say goodbye?" ”

Shen Sui punched him, "Which turtle son opened his mouth and shit indiscriminately, now most of the people in Guangnan think that you have left with the Admiral Guijing." ”

He was angry and opened his mouth full of swearing.

Han Ji pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I will go on a patrol in two days, and the rumors will naturally be broken." ”

Haizhu stared at his face, it had only been ten days since he left Yongning, he had a lot of vicissitudes, his eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, as if he had changed people.

Han Ji came to cover her eyes with his backhand, he thought she would hide, but he didn't expect to cover it, his eyes rolled under the warm eyelids, his palms were hot, and he subconsciously lowered his hands behind his back.

"What are you doing staring at me? Don't know each other? He clutched the hand behind his back.

"I'm a teenager, I almost didn't recognize it." Haizhu opened her mouth and said nonsense, "I'm going to eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”

The three of them went to the dining room, and the kitchen brought baked cakes and herbal tea, as well as shredded meat noodles, Shen Sui drank a bowl of herbal tea first, and asked, "Why did Admiral Han leave?" Is he coming back? ”

"There was a war in the northwest, and he passed." Han Ji said flatly.

There was silence in the house, Haizhu and Shen Sui glanced at each other, no wonder they were in such a hurry, and Han Ji could understand that he was drunk late at night.

"The stepfather will be triumphant." Haizhu comforted dryly, "When the time comes, we will go with you to Kyoto to meet him." ”

Han Ji took a strong breath, pulled the corners of his mouth and couldn't laugh, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay." ”

At noon, the old housekeeper found Haizhu and asked her to stay in the mansion with Shen Sui for a few more days, "The second young master is in a bad mood, and he doesn't have any good friends in the mansion, so you two should accompany him more." ”

Haizhu agreed to come down.
