Chapter 714: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust Ning Palace
It is said that in the middle of the night, at the time of the third watch, a "bang" suddenly came, only to feel a shock in the hull, and everyone woke up from their sleep.
Songbai walked quickly to the bow of the boat, and saw that there were torches on both sides of the riverbank, so he called the boatman and asked what it was!
"I don't know who it is? I didn't see it last time I turned back to Kyoto, but I'm afraid it's a nearby villager, right? This boat seems to have hit a reef, but I'm afraid that it can't move forward for the time being, and I've sent someone to check it, hoping that it hasn't broken the bottom of the boat. The boss of the boat came over with a bamboo pole in his hand, shook his head and sighed.
"Then you go and get busy! This midnight third watch gathers here, shouldn't it be a riverside party? I'll go over and see! They'll be handed over to you!" Songbai turned around and instructed Chen Yuejing, and then jumped up and flew towards the riverbank.
The pine and cypress somersaulted forward and fell into the weeds by the river, and only then did they see clearly when they looked at the torches by the river.
It turned out that on the bank of the river, a group of people were busy unloading things, and then went to the shore overnight, which attracted the attention of the pine and cypress.
I saw the man with torches in his hand, carrying the sack on his shoulder, and he didn't care about the sweat droplets rolling off his face, so he hurried to the carriage by the river, put the sack on the plank, and turned back quickly.
"What are these people doing? Even if they are doing business, they don't need to watch three watches in the middle of the night? Is it ......" Songbai saw Chen Yuejing waving and shouting on this boat, so he flew back one by one.
"What's going on? They don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are they busy doing?" Chen Yuejing watched Songbai come back, and then stepped forward to inquire.
"Hmph! It's just a matter of chickens and dogs stealing, I didn't expect that as soon as I came to Bashu, the first thing I would do was ......" Songbai whispered in his ear for a moment, and Chen Yuejing was taken aback after hearing it.
This Bashan ferry, at this moment the crowd is surging, all kinds of merchant ships are endless, for a time the wharf is full of people, a lively scene.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers came over, wielding spears and steel knives to drive the people aside, and for a while the noise finally quieted down.
I saw that this soldier came over carrying an official sedan chair and stopped on the dock, and the master shook the goose feather fan and bent down to open the door curtain.
"My lord, King Qingning's ship is almost here!" the master bent down and whispered with a smile on his face.
"Well, I know!" The official sedan chair answered, only to see an arm stretched out, the master hurriedly came up to help, and the future greeted him.
I saw that this person was fat and big-eared, short and fat, not to mention, the fingers were also very stubby, and there was always a smile on his face, this person was Zeng Canghai, the prefect of Bashan!
"It's all ready, right? When King Qingning landed on the boat, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the lions danced, so that the princess had the kindness of home, if you messed up, don't blame the lord for being ruthless." This prefect Zeng Canghai was full of smiles, but everyone always bowed their heads.
"Lord Zeng? Are you here? I brought the squire from here to greet me, I heard that this King of Qingning is a child in his twenties, is this true?"
"It turned out to be Li Yuanwai, disrespectful and disrespectful! With your great help, I believe that King Qingning will feel our sincerity, this new official has three fires, everyone has to take it easy, don't make it difficult for this official?" Zeng Canghai kept nodding and smiling, and whispered to Li Yuanwai next to him.
Thank you Lord Zeng for your kind reminder, today is a good day for King Qingning, let's drink wine and eat meat and listen to the play, and talk about the rest later. This Li Yuanwai kept echoing, so he took out a bag of things from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of this Zeng adult.
At noon, when the sun was shining, everyone was still waiting at this pier, and all the merchant ships were docked on the shore, waiting for the arrival of the king of Qingning.
I saw that on the surface of the river, the official ship of Songbai slowly came over, Zeng Canghai waved his right hand, and suddenly firecrackers rang out in unison, gongs and drums made a noise.
Songbai came to the bow of the boat, looked at the crowd on the wharf, and then looked at the railing, looking at the churning river, and was silent for a while.
"What's the matter? Are they too noisy and want to come out quietly alone, you look at the people and officials on the dock, this formation is indeed a bit grand! Are you here to welcome you, the master of the horse, or are you the king of Qingning who went to the fiefdom?" Chen Yue quietly came to her side and whispered softly.
"It's all good! It's finally time to go to the shore, and they're really noisy, not only have they not felt tired for half a month, but they're more energetic than the other, let's call them out! We're about to go ashore. Pine Cypress turned around and leaned against the pole of the boat.
As soon as the ship docked, Zeng Canghai bent down with officials at all levels to greet him, and everyone came out of the boat with their support, and went to the Qingning Palace.
This Qingning palace is a little shabby, because this incident happened suddenly, it is just a simple renovation and transformation, plus it is this southwest border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is naturally not as grand as the Beijing Division.
The banquet has already been set up in the Qingning Palace, and even the maids and prefects Zeng Canghai have arranged them one by one, which can be described as painstaking!
After a long time of half a month, Songbai had long felt tired, and after three rounds of drinking, he sneaked back to his room and fell asleep.
Chen Yuejing managed the inside and outside, but fortunately, the girls in Chunlan helped to not feel that there was no etiquette, and after sending off the guests, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
Chen Yuejing instructed her subordinates to close the door of the house, turned around and took the girls back to the room, but saw a figure outside the door, so she went to the corner of the house.
It turned out that this was Zhu Shuwen, Chen Yuejing looked at her blushing face, kept twisting the corner of her clothes, and then stepped forward.
"It turned out to be a princess! Xianggong had already fallen asleep, why don't we go in and drink tea and chat! It's rare to have time now, let's go!" Chen Yuejing hugged Zhu Shuwen, and the two pushed open the door and entered.
Chen Yuejing closed the door back, waved her hand to sit down at the table, then lifted the teapot and poured it into the cup, and handed it to Zhu Shuwen.
"Princess, now that we are all uprooted from home, we will inevitably have a trace of ties, and we will forgive me more in the future, so that we will have less troubles. Chen Yuejing picked up the teacup and said as soon as she drank it.
"You're all back, there are too many socials in this officialdom, it seems that Chunlan is right, I'm really not suitable for these, let's go to this barracks tomorrow!"
"They made a special trip to congratulate, this prefect is really hearted, everything has been taken care of, no wonder this official word is two-mouthed, but it has suffered these Li people!" Chen Yuejing turned around and said helplessly.
A "whoosh" sounded when I saw a hole in the window paper, and a black thing ran towards Zhu Shuwen, and she suddenly screamed......
