The water of the Bianhe River is also much shallower, the water level is only the depth of previous winters, and many large ships cannot reach the shore; today it is even more obvious, the two large boats parked in the center of the river are painted with beams and carved buildings, the three-story cabins are majestic and magnificent, and the decoration is splendid, and several medium-sized official boats are shuttling back and forth, connecting people from the dock to the big boats. The wharf was full of people, who were just watching the excitement, all gathered a hundred paces away, pointing and talking, and the twenty or so people who saw them off were all in the circle, and the first six were only ten paces away from the place where they got on the boat.

  Li Bangyan, a scholar from Hanlin in the crowd, couldn't help frowning, one of the six people led by him was slender and elongated, and he was Yu Shen, who had just been driven out of the court and was about to be a bachelor from the Imperial Palace; Both of them are people with Cai Dang's label on their foreheads, and after sending Cai Jing off, they will leave for their posts tomorrow; Ye Mengde and Cai Wei below are not surprised, they are all dead friends who are attached to Cai Jing, Cai Wei has been from the position of Hangzhou prefect for almost a year, and has escaped the Fang La Rebellion.

  Huang Jingchen was arranged by Song Huizong to see him off, only the person standing in front of Cai Wei had never seen it, that person was nine feet tall, wearing a green shirt, standing with a majestic posture, Ye Mengde and Cai Wei Even if they were the same age, they were a little inferior in comparison. The man stood there motionless, but his cyan figure was full of vitality, like spring water in the sun, containing indescribable flexibility, not at all like Ye Cai's dullness. Li Bangyan was familiar with folk affairs and immediately understood, that was a person who practiced martial arts, but a cloth cloth, how could the Cai family rank him in front of Cai Wei?

  The chamberlain Huang Jingchen was also thinking about this problem, and Song Huizong asked him to send Cai Jing, not only to show that the emperor's grace was vast, but also to show which ministers dared to blatantly stand on Cai Jing's side. Yu Shen and the four of them are not surprised, they and Cai Jing have both losses and glory, and coming to see them off can only increase their weight in Cai Jing's eyes; the rest of the officials, Huang Jingchen snorted secretly in his heart, it is said that in the past half a month, Cai Jing's house has been visiting at night, but it is still a little timid to come forward blatantly. Huang Jingchen glanced at that person, and the person who came was just right to smile humbly.

  Cai Wei and Cai Qian walked up to the dock with smiles on their faces, walked quickly to the six people, and saluted Yu Shen, Song Qiaonian, and Huang Jingchen, "Uncle Jia occasionally felt a cold last night, and he was really inconvenient to move, so he couldn't get off the boat to meet you, and entrusted the villain to ask a few adults for guilt." "Cai Wei is Cai Jing's favorite nephew, and Cai Jing's adopted son, he wears Taoist clothes all day long, and only when he is an official in the court, he will wear official clothes in a regular manner;

  The two spoke respectfully, and Yu Shen said haha after listening to it, "It's okay, Cai Xiang is the pillar of the country, and he must take care of his body." ”

  Huang Jingchen understood that Yu Shen's words were for himself and Song Huizong, so he smiled perfunctorily. After the five of them finished their polite words, Cai Qian greeted Ye Mengde and Cai Wei, Cai Wei walked in front of the young man, took out a stack of silver tickets and said, "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for ten years, is Uncle Zhou okay?" Uncle Jia thanked you for sending things as promised, this is not a reward, it is a travel fee for Brother Lu. ”

  Brother Lu stretched out his hand to block the silver ticket with a serious expression and said, "The family teacher has passed away, so he asked me to send the box to Bianliang and hand it to Cai Xiang." Cai Xiang didn't have an order, the little brother's matter was over, so he said goodbye. ”

  Cai Wei put the silver ticket into his sleeve and said, "It's okay, Brother Lu is running around all day and is in need of rest, and Uncle Zhou Shi's affairs are mourning." ”

  Yu Shen and Huang Jingchen were shocked when they heard this, Cai Jing's family was driven out of the capital, and with this influence, Zhou Dong sent someone to see him off, and couldn't help but glance at the surname Lu again. Brother Lu didn't change his face when he heard this, he saluted everyone, turned around and walked towards the outside of the dock, Yu Shen looked at Brother Lu's back, and said seemingly casually, "People are old, they feel familiar when they look at it, and they can't remember the name." ”

  Cai Qian nodded and said, "You have really seen him, he is Zhou Dong's apprentice, Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, the richest man in the Daimyo Mansion." ”

  Huang Jingchen's heart hung suddenly, Zhou Tong is not an ordinary person, the first master of the Central Plains, after the five dynasties of Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, Zhezong, and Huizong, and Wang Anshi and Sima Guang worked together under Bao Zheng. Huang Jingchen wanted to ask what Lu Junyi sent, and wanted to swallow his heart, at this moment Cai Qian could only listen to what he said, and could not confirm it; Cai Wei suddenly hugged his fists towards a few people, and hurriedly walked towards the back, and the little eunuch behind Huang Jingchen whispered to Yang Zhi that Yang Zhi was coming.

  Yang Zhi saw Cai Wei and said, "Brother Cai, I'm busy with official business, I'm late." ”

  Cai Wei and Yang Zhi have always been called according to Liang Xun's relationship, and Cai Wei returned the salute and said, "Brother Yang, it's not too late, you just returned to Bianliang, and it's the time when you are entangled in everything, and you have a heart." Lu Junyi has been here, and Mr. Zhou Tong has passed away. ”

  Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going over now, it's the problem for Master Zhou, now that Lu Junyi has arrived, everything must have been done." Brother Cai, bring a message to your teacher and wish him a smooth journey. ”

  Cai Wei and Yang Zhi didn't want to attract too much attention, as soon as the two hugged their fists, Yang Zhi turned around and left; Cai Wei urged the speed of getting on the boat, and after half an hour, all the people of the Cai family finally got on the big boat in the middle of the river, the two boats raised their sails and sailed eastward, Huang Jingchen put his mind at ease, and Cai Jing, the minister of power, did not play tricks, and finally left Kaifeng.

  Cai Jing was not sick, he had been sitting in the cabin at the bow of the ship, looking at the scene on the dock through the window, and heard the housekeeper Xu Ruogu bring tea in, and asked, "Ruogu, the comet did not appear last night, which was a fatal blow to the old man." What are we going to do next?"

  A few days ago, the comet had been appearing in the sky, and yesterday Cai Jing decided to leave, and the comet was gone that night, which is really an indescribable coincidence. Xu Ruogu is one year older than Cai Wei, Cai Jing's nephew, he is forty-two years old this year, he followed Cai Jing after reading, he has never been an official in his life, and he doesn't want to be an official; Cai Jing has proposed to hang a false official title several times, but Xu Ruogu has no request, but Xu Ruogu's status in the rivers and lakes is respected, and he is the head of the Xuzhou Shendaomen.

  Xu Ruogu muttered, "Uncle, it's not the first time that a comet has appeared, so you don't have to take it seriously. We can stop and go, take advantage of the trend, as long as we finally arrive in Sizhou, even if we have fulfilled the emperor's wish. If the uncle kept to himself, I am afraid that some people would be more worried; when the Huang Bu rebellion, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, drove the expedition in person, and did not worry about Xiao He, Xiao He acted according to the plan of the door, robbed the people's fields, and Liu Bang spared his life. "I like the dragon, please collect the dragon.
