The place where Sikongrui lived was called Wangxijiao, the place was a little off, and there were many undercurrents around, so there were not many caravans passing by on weekdays. The fleet set sail at the same time, and it was not a long journey, but after detouring, it arrived in the afternoon of the next day.
"Wow." Duan Yao looked forward on tiptoe, "It's so prosperous."
"Sikong was originally a person who likes luxury and pleasure. If Wangxijiao is not prosperous, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep him." Duan Baiyue said, "This place is known as Xiaojiangnan, if you like it, we will stay for two more days. "
"Yao'er can stay as long as you want, can you leave quickly?" Si Kongrui interrupted after hearing this.
Duan Baiyue said: "No."
Sikong Rui tried to reason with him: "This is my home."
Duan Baiyue said: "Tossing and turning, sleepless all night."
Sikong Rui walked to the other side full of anger.
Duan Yao pouted, wondering if she wanted to memorize these words, it seemed to be quite useful.
On the boulder of the pier, a woman in a yellow shirt held a little boy in her hand and was waving to this side from a distance.
"Miss!" Sikong Rui hung on the railing and responded enthusiastically.
Duan Baiyue said: "Look at your hungry face."
"For the last time, after going ashore, don't mention any more love letters!" Si Kongrui lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.
Duan Baiyue nodded friendly.
Sikong Rui volleyed across the sea and landed firmly on the shore.
The woman in the yellow shirt smiled and straightened his clothes for him, and then shoved his son over. The family talked and laughed very happily.
Duan Yao sighed in her heart, what does it mean to compare people? It seems that except for her unfortunate brother, everyone in this arena is happily married and has both children.
Duan Baiyue picked up his arm and jumped onto the dock.
"Lord Duan." Xiu Xiufu bowed, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I'm fine."
"Family, why don't you see outside." Duan Baiyue said, "If my younger brother and sister don't dislike it, just call me big brother."
"Big Brother Duan." Xiuxiu smiled, "Yesterday, Brother Rui said he was going to pick up Big Brother and Yao'er, and he would be back in the morning, but he didn't expect to arrive at this time."
"That lady stayed here all morning?" Si Kongrui was concerned.
Xiuxiu said, "Just look at the seascape."
"Come on, come home quickly and say." Sikong Rui helped her down the reef and walked back together.
Duan Yao held the little doll in her hand and said dumbfounded, "Is your son no more?"
Duan Baiyue said: "You are here."
Duan Yao: "Huh?"
Duan Baiyue knocked on his head: "I just said it, why does the family need to see outside." Just hold it.
Duan Yao: "..."
What parents ah this is all.
Wangxijiao is the ancestral property of Sikong's family. After hundreds of years of development, it has reached the same size as the prosperous Chu country town. The market is bustling and lively, and the streets are full of barbecue fragrance. Looking further forward, a tall mansion is resplendent, and even the tiles seem to glow under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Young Master, Young Madam." The butler greeted me cheerfully at the door, saying that the table was ready and a banquet could be held at any time.
"Don't worry, I'll take my eldest brother and Yao'er to see the guest room first." Xiuxiu handed her son to Si Kongrui and asked Duan Yao, "Do you like a quieter place, or a more lively one?"
Duan Yao said, "Quiet."
"How about living in Longyue?" Xiuxiu said, "Except for the sound of the waves, there is no sound at all."
"Well." Duan Yao was respectful, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xiuxiu smiled at Duan Baiyue and said, "Time flies really fast. In the blink of an eye, Yao'er is already so old, does she ever have a favorite girl?"
Before Duan Baiyue had time to speak, Duan Yao took the initiative to say: "Yes!" Don't make another match.
"With such a loud voice, it seems that I like it very much." Xiuxiu joked, "Whose young lady is so blessed?"
Duan Yao smiled calmly: "Huh?"
"Brother and younger sister, don't ask any more." Duan Baiyue rescued the field. "Even I, the eldest brother, can't ask who is his sweetheart. Children's family, don't worry about it."
"Yes, I'm not in a hurry." Duan Yao touched her nose and changed the subject, "Is Wangxijiao doing business with Baixiangguo?"
"White Elephant Country? Naturally there is." Xiuxiu pushed open the courtyard door for them, "Besides Da Chu, Baixiang Country is one of the most prosperous island countries in the South China Sea. If you want to do business, you can't avoid them. Why do you suddenly ask this? ?"
"This time we are going to the White Elephant Country." Duan Yao said, "Find someone."
"I see." Xiuxiu said cheerfully, "How can you go to the White Elephant Country without a guide, just because Brother Rui has been in a panic recently, why don't you just go out to sea together, or have someone to take care of you."
Duan Baiyue readily agreed: "Sikong can marry a reasonable wife like his younger brother and sister, and he really has accumulated virtue in his previous life."
After the reception, Xiuxiu took Duan Yao to go around the island, Si Kongrui sat on the study chair, stared straight at Duan Baiyue, his eyes were angry and angry.
The king of the southwest said: "This is wrong. It is the younger brother and sister who took the initiative to ask you to go to the White Elephant Country with me."
Sikong Rui said firmly: "It must be you who gushed my wife."
Duan Baiyue said: "Then let it be, in short, you don't want to run this time."
Sikong Rui fell on the table.
Duan Baiyue put a cup of tea in front of him: "Tell me, how is the situation in Baixiangguo?"
"What about the White Elephant Kingdom?" Si Kongrui sat up, "First, what's wrong with your face and your hands? You cover it so tightly, for fear of losing your virginity and ruining your boudoir reputation?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Yes."
Si Kongrui: "..."
Duan Baiyue shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, I was poisoned in practice, and it's just disfigured."
Sikong Rui hooked his fingers: "Take it off, let me take a look."
Duan Baiyue sighed with emotion: "You are really a bastard."
Sikong Rui's shot was as fast as lightning, hitting him in the face.
Duan Baiyue grabbed his wrist and threw it aside.
He hit the table with a bang, and Si Kongrui hugged his head and yelled, "Bastard!"
Duan Baiyue said: "The skills are not as good as others, so you can do it yourself."
Si Kongrui had tears in his eyes and was unwilling to sit back in his chair: "Master Nan wrote a letter to ask Tianchensha before, can it be related to it?"
Duan Baiyue said: "The Tianchensha incident is here to turn. I went to Nanyang this time, not to find medicine, but to find someone."
Sima Rui said, "Who are you looking for?"
Duan Baiyue replied: "Chu Xiang."
"Chu surname, royal family?" Sima Rui said, "Why are you looking for him, are you still secretly helping that little emperor?"
Duan Baiyue nodded.
"What benefit did it give you? After all these years, the chief of the house is not busy with you." Sima Rui was extremely puzzled.
Duan Baiyue said: "In one sentence, can you help?"
"Help help." Sima Rui had a headache, and only asked not to hear "Tossing and turning and weeping in the morning" again.
Duan Baiyue was very satisfied: "Yes, I will leave in three days."
Sima Rui stretched out a finger: "Let's talk about it first. After this is done, return those letters to me."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "It's good to discuss."
Sima Rui was alert: "Let's make a statement."
Duan Baiyue asked: "Useful?"
Sima Rui thought for a while and became discouraged.
Useless.
According to the level of shamelessness of this person, not to mention establishing a written evidence, even if it is to post a bulletin on the street, beating gongs and drums and shouting, there will be no pressure to regret it at that time.
When you are young and ignorant and make friends carelessly, you will only suffer the consequences. Every time I think about it, it brings bitter tears.
Three days later, the fleet set sail again, and Sikong Rui reluctantly bid farewell to his wife. For the next half month, he maintained a sigh of nostalgia.
Duan Baiyue said: "The scholar who writes the pair on the street is not as sour as you."
Sikong Rui said, "Shut up Lao Tzu."
Duan Yao was sitting on the observation deck, eating red fruit while watching the two of them quarrel, guessing when the fight would start.
In Chu King City, Ye Jin was sitting in the side hall of the Imperial Hospital, looking at the group of ministers in front of him.
It was really a group, and the mighty poured in. Those who didn't know it thought it was going to be a group fight.
Tao Rende smiled and his eyes were full of anticipation.
"Master Tao." Ye Jin was exhausted, "Why don't you go to the imperial study if you want the emperor to draft the draft?" What are you doing? what am I doing? what am I doing
Tao Rende sighed: "I said, I have been talking about it for so many years, but the emperor has always refused."
Ye Jin's head is buzzing, it's right if you don't want to, if you don't want you to find me useful
Tao Rende said: "The emperor loves the ninth prince so much that he may hear it. The first emperor already had three sons and one daughter at this age, but the current sage is not to mention heirs, and even a concubine is not willing to accept it. If he is so stubborn, he will never be a problem."
Ye Jin asked back, "Is the heir really so important?"
"Jiu Wangye is a person in the world, so naturally you don't need to care about it." Tao Rende said without leaking, "But behind the emperor is the society and the people of the world. Even if you don't want to do it, you have to do it for the people, and you can't do it."
With such a big hat buttoned down, Ye Jin was exhausted and waved: "Alright, alright, I'll go talk."
All the ministers were overjoyed: "Thank you Ninth Prince."
Ye Jin dragged soft steps and went to the imperial study.
"Why is it here, the sun is still shining outside." Chu Yuan asked Sixi to serve the sour plum soup, "Where's Qianfeng?"
"It's a lunch break." Ye Jin sat beside him, "Don't look at the book for now, I have something to say."
Chu Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"
Ye Jin said bluntly: "Let's stand behind."
Chu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who is looking for you again, Tao Rende?"
Ye Jin pouted: "This time, seventeen people came at a time, and they knelt when they entered the door."
"It's embarrassing for you." Chu Yuan straightened his hair for him. "If you find it annoying in the palace, you can go back to Jiangnan. Without the noise of these people, you can be cleaner."
I do want to go back. Ye Jin glanced at the book on the table, and said curiously, "Huh? Are you planning to recruit Lord Wen back?"
"If you go out for four or five years, it should be enough to stay outside." Chu Yuan said, "After another year and a half, I will probably come back. There are too many empty spaces in this dynasty. With him here, I can feel at ease. Some."
Ye Jin nodded and asked again, "Well, are you really okay lately?"
Chu Yuan laughed: "Where did this come from, what can I do?"
"From the way from the southwest to the return to the king's city, it seems to be a lot more worried than before." Ye Jin said, "It is said that Duan Baiyue is not in the southwest mansion, and he has drawn an army and I don't know where to go, but is it related? "
Chu Yuan frowned when he heard the words: "He's not in the Southwest Mansion?"
Ye Jin nodded: "It's been a while, I'll take it as you know."
Chu Yuan gritted his teeth: "I, no, know, Tao."
Ye Jin looked at him suspiciously. If he didn't know, he didn't know. What was he doing so fiercely? Could it be that the King of Southwest owed money and ran away
