Chapter 327: Experiences on the Canal (1)
The old general coughed: "Gonggong Lu--"
Lu Yueding grabbed a handful of cards and raised his head: "Ah, it's Manager Xue Zhi who is here, you group of killers, don't report it, give Manager Xue a stool and hand over a cup of herbal tea?"
The little eunuchs who accompanied the playing cards got up and handed tea on the stool, the old general was Xue Zhi, the number one henchman of the Shengshang, who was famous in Beijing, and the children could stop crying at night when they heard his name, but because of the disadvantage of reconnoitring Mr. Houlong in Houlong Village, he was directly demoted to a big-headed soldier by the Shengshang, and was on duty on the official ship.

Xue Zhi didn't sit down, he still kept a straight face, and handed over the name sticker: "Suzhou Mansion Daotai invites the adults to a private banquet, and the villain waits for the father-in-law to give a good reply." ”
Lu Yueding laughed: "Lao Xue, you have to come to this set in front of me, the emperor and his old man are just tempering you, and they don't really hate you, when you go to the door of Mr. Houlong in Houlong Village, you will benefit from it in the future, and the emperor will definitely reward you greatly, don't say that the official will be reinstated, and you can't say that you can still be knighted, unlike people like me who are left over from prison, there is no way to glorify your ancestors." ”
Lu Yueding took the sticker casually and handed it to the little eunuch next to him: "Tell the person who gave the gift, just say that our emperor's life is in your body, don't dare to make a mistake, thank him for his kindness, this shore will not be served, and the wine will not be drunk." Taking advantage of the wind tonight, it is cool, and I want to sail at night and arrive in Yinxian County one day earlier. ”
The little eunuch went, came back after a while, threw a small silver ingot in his hand, and said with a smile: "This is the small reward silver given to the door of the Daotai, he said that the adults are busy with official business, and dare not disturb, the Daotai adults have prepared some local products, not anything valuable, just some Su embroidery, red japonica rice, peach and plum and other fruits, and please smile." ”
Lu Yueding waved his hand: "Then take it." Give him a sticker of my name and send him away. These magistrates all want to befriend the Beijing officials and internal envoys, they are really like flies, and they can't drive them away, so let them be, if they really don't accept these gifts, they will hold a grudge against them. ”
Xue Zhi was drinking tea, and suddenly said: "Slow, Gonggong Lu, I just heard you say that you want to sail at night, although there are archers from Sixiang patrolling back and forth in this Grand Canal, there are still some lawless strongmen, even demons and monsters, doing that evil thing, although the official ship has its own generals to guard, but it is also unbearable." However, I also know that when I just left Beijing, my father-in-law had to do some personal affairs, so I was a little delayed, and now I want to take advantage of the wind to travel more, so I won't stop you. It's just that it's best to let the local officials send a few people who are familiar with the water conditions of this section of the canal to give some pointers on the boat, so as not to be caught off guard when there are any accidents. ”
Lu Yueding nodded again and again: "Chief Officer Xue is no longer right, do you hear it, go and reply." ”
After a while, the little eunuch led a person into the cabin, it was the Qingke of the platform, he saluted Lu Yueding: "I have seen this adult, I heard that the adult should be familiar with the water conditions in this area, the villain happened to grow up by this canal since he was a child, and he is familiar with it, and he is willing to serve the adult." ”
Lu Yue saw that this Qingke smiled amiably, and nodded: "Then you can follow our family, come here, replenish the water diet, and drive the boat." ”
After a while, the official ship sailed slowly and straight, taking advantage of the night breeze to spread its sails, Lu Yueding hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, and pulled Xue Zhi and the little eunuch to play mahjong, the Qingke smiled: "I didn't expect the things of the Yinxian big world to have been transmitted to the capital so quickly, and you adults also like to play this mahjong?"
A little eunuch next to him said: "This mahjong has not yet reached the capital, we saw a merchant playing on the canal, so we learned it, and this domino is still temporarily made of bamboo." ”
The doorman smiled: "This is a coincidence, among the specialties sent by the small proprietor, there is a jade mahjong, which is very delicate and warm to the touch." ”
Lu Yueding hurriedly said: "Hurry up, bring the jade mahjong, this bamboo is too rough, and there are bamboo thorns on it." ”
The jade mahjong was quickly served, and sure enough, as the Qingke said, the tentacles were warm, and Lu Yue was so happy that he was reluctant to let go, and he praised again and again, and beckoned to the Qingke: "Do you know how to play mahjong?"
Qingke smiled: "This mahjong has just come out of the big world of Yinxian County, but there is an old mother in the villain's house, and she also likes to play mahjong for self-entertainment, so the little one has also worked mahjong, so that it is convenient to do filial piety in front of the old mother, although it is not proficient, but also know a little about it." ”
Lu Yueding kicked the little eunuch next to him: "Let a seat come out, who is that, come on, come on, accompany my father-in-law and I will touch it twice." ”
As soon as the Qingke came to the table, he immediately knew that Gonggong Lu and Manager Xue were two big sheep, but they could barely paste a card.
In fact, this Qingke does not need to do much mundane affairs, only two words "can play", can accompany the proprietor to have fun, and forget the troubles of mundane affairs, this is a good Qingke.
That Qingke is a hearted, when he first saw the mahjong that came out of the big world, he decided at a glance that in the future, the mahjong of the Great Li Dynasty will be popular, and if he wants to please the proprietor's boss, he can't play mahjong and there is no room to come forward and speak.
So the Qing Ke in mahjong on a lot of effort, and even ran to the big world to study hard, and finally became the master of the Great Wall, the master of the master, a hand to touch the cards to recognize the cards and listen to the cards of the kung fu even in the mahjong inventor Guo Da Road, at this time to show the kung fu, sure enough to let the angels from the capital have fun, laughing, not yin and yang laughter far to both sides of the canal.
Lu Yueding touched a few handfuls of self-touching, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but he Xue Zhi off, how could he not see that this Qingke was a complete snob, seeing that Lu Yueding was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was an internal envoy, he deliberately stammered, seeing that he was a big-headed soldier, he deliberately cut off his own beard, causing himself to lose several handfuls in a row, and he was really not a man!
Xue Zhi suddenly pushed the card and shouted: "Don't play!" I heard that this mahjong is one of the gambling equipment in the big world, although Mr. Long offered the god bean, and the merit is immeasurable, but this temptation of the children of the good family to gamble is very undeserved. ”
Qing Ke listened to it next to him, and was so shocked that he almost swallowed his tongue in his stomach - this big-headed soldier is so bold that even Mr. Houlong, who had just been canonized by the Danshu Iron Coupon, dared to accuse!
He didn't know that Xue Zhi was originally the number one henchman under the current saint, and the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, and he didn't know how many ministers and famous generals knelt at his feet, begging for mercy just to spare his life.
Lu Yueding smiled and said: "Old Xue, this mahjong is just a plaything, there is no good or evil, but it is just used as a gambling device." (To be continued.) )
