The boat sailed smoothly and the wind was bright and sunny. After passing through Hongze Lake, it went north along the Bian River all the way.
As the section of Tongji Canal of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has not been seen in later generations, but at this time, it connects the north-south waterway and is still the most important shipping route in the Grand Canal. Although it was the flood season at this time, the water flow in the canal was not urgent, and many fishing boats and merchant ships occasionally passed by.
In the cabin room, a few pairs of eyes were rolling, and there was a strange feeling of big eyes staring at small eyes. This cabin is not small, but the lineup of three women and one man is still a bit strange at the moment. As for what Ning Yi said that everyone would sit together during the day and "office" by the way, Yunzhu, who knew about it last night, of course, had nothing to say, but when Ning Yi introduced Xiaochan and them to each other, Xiaochan and Jin'er The expression on Ning Yi's face seemed to be frightened. They had been connected in private before, but now they don't know how to say hello naturally. When Ning Yi was writing something on the desk near the window in the room, Xiaochan and Jin The child just sat on the side blankly, watching this scene, and could only make eye contact.
Ning Yi said a few nonsense words that everyone can meet like this, it's really fate, of course no one will believe it. But now believe it or not is not the subject of discussion. Based on what they knew about Ning Yi, they thought that this matter would be hidden from both sides before it was unnecessary to reveal it, but Jin'er and even Xiaochan might not have a little thought to scare him, but now they really don't know. What kind of medicine does he sell in the gourd.
As for Yunzhu, sitting over there with a book in his hand, he naturally couldn't stand it at first, his eyes wandered, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Ning Yi buried his head and wrote something, raised his head to look at them, then put his hands on the table and supported his chin: "What's wrong?"
Even though their mentality is mature, the four people in the room, after all, are only in their twenties, and they still look youthful and lively. Ning Yi's expression was funny, Jin'er stood up abruptly: "I'm going to make tea." After she said this, she turned and walked outside, and Xiaochan also quickly raised her hand: "I, I'll go help..."
The two went out in a hurry, Ning Yi touched his earlobe, and when his eyes turned to Yunzhu, he saw Yunzhu looking over from behind the book, and his eyes touched him, and he hurriedly lowered his head. After a while, she saw her simply put down the book with a smile: "I, I also went out to help..."
"Do you need three people to make a cup of tea?" Ning Yi laughed. Yunzhu lowered her head slightly, then glanced at him: "Then I'll go to the thatched hut..." If she had been in a relationship with Ning Yisheng, she might not have said such a thing, but at this time, her face was slightly red, and she pursed her lips and went out. , closed the door again, and Ning Yi shook his head and laughed.
In the cabin corridor outside the door, Jin'er and Xiaochan were indeed whispering, Jin'er pinched her chin with a thoughtful expression: "It's weird..." Xiaochan squeezed her fist and was a little embarrassed: "What should I do, uncle Don't you know..."
"What do you know?" Jin'er gave her a blank look, "How is that possible."
"Uncle is great."
"How powerful he can be, he's not an immortal." Jin'er pursed her lips and turned to look at Xiaochan again, "And... you're his woman now, why should you be afraid of him."
"I-I'm not afraid... I'm afraid of Xiang Gong, I don't want to make him angry."
"Has he ever been mad at you?"
"No, but I still don't want to make Xianggong angry... We should be self-conscious as maids..."
"You're not a maid anymore!"
"It's the same, so Xianggong will like it..."
"You're mad at me." Jin'er glared at her, "You're his woman, so you should show the coquettish coquettishness of a fox, so that he's obsessed with you in everything, I told you yesterday, and I also taught yours, you want to…”
She was probably instilling some weird things into Xiaochan in the past two days, but Xiaochan also looked at her with a blushing face. Seeing that this little girl can't be taught, Jin'er was also a little discouraged. When Yunzhu came from there, she frowned and said, "Sister Yunzhu, what's the matter with him?"
"I don't know either." Yunzhu himself was also strange.
"Why is he like this, Sister Yunzhu... and Xiao Chan... How could he let you meet? It's so messy..."
They didn't want to do messy things at first, at most they thought that Ning Yi would not let them meet, and they had been joking and wanted to see his jokes. When they do meet one day, to see how embarrassed Ning Yi will explain this matter, the person who proposed this idea is naturally Jin'er, who likes to mess around.
Thousands of years later, the man may be unreasonable, but it is not a big deal right now, especially after the experience of the Su family massacre, both parties have somewhat realized that things cannot be changed. By this time, it was they who were embarrassed.
Of course, even if it was embarrassing at this time, they couldn't do anything. Several people brewed tea and went in to decorate the peace. But Ning Yi has a good personality in front of his family. After all, he is not a cannibal. He was restrained for a while because of his attitude. The feeling of mutual pity between each other made it easier to get along with each other later. In front of Ning Yi, after all, it was the difference between the main room and the outer room that needed to be favored.
In this way, by this afternoon, Ning Yi was immersed in writing, and Yun Zhu was sitting there reading, and he was able to calm down. Xiaochan Bubble Tea took care of some trivial chores, and then sat there with a log stretcher to embroider. After a while, she was pulled by the active Jin'er and whispered, and then she was dragged to the next room for a while. Fan toss.
Ning Yi occasionally relaxes and listens carefully. The voices of Jin'er and Xiaochan over there are also low, and they can't hear clearly through a bulkhead. Only occasionally hear Xiaochan's "ah" call, and then listen to fragmentary voices, it seems that It was Yuan Jin'er who was teaching her how to lower her waist. In all fairness, even though he was too lively and offbeat on weekdays, and had no image in front of Ning Yi, but to be able to get the reputation of the oiran, classmate Jin'er was indeed a messed up beautiful girl with long legs, who danced very well. But after listening for a moment, Ning Yi naturally knew that the dance was not being taught over there. He was speechless for a while. Yun Zhu was sitting on the edge of the bed, also covering his mouth with a book and looking at him with interesting eyes.
Xiaochan was tossed for a while, and then ran away unbearably humiliated. Jin'er stretched her body and hummed a song, and came in triumphantly. Ning Yi guessed that most of what she thought in her mind was that she would be able to let her follow her after teaching Xiaochan's room technique. Tan'er competes for favor and makes the Su family restless.
It wasn't long before Xiaochan came in again. The big boat was moving all the way, and the sun was shining through the open window. Ning Yi occasionally wrote, occasionally thought, and occasionally said a few words to a few people. Yunzhu is also reading the popular romance book at this time. Occasionally, she will see some poems in it. If everyone is interested, she will sing it softly. Although the lyrics are unremarkable, but under the voice of Yunzhu, it is gentle and melodious, and Xiaochan sometimes listens to it.
In the evening, when the fleet stopped in the small town on the shore, Wen Ren Buer and others came to look for him. Everyone walked on the rocky beach near the pier and talked about the situation on the main ship. Sometimes Ning Yi looked over to the main ship, and he would see Zhou Pei, the little county master, looking down from the side of the ship, with a graceful expression and a natural gaze, but in the gaze that swept over Ning Yi's side, it was obvious that he had become a A spy-like sense of substitution.
As the sun sets in the west, there is a lively atmosphere on the pier and among the fleets. The residual warmth of the Dashuigang has not yet dissipated. At night, there is a celebration of singing and dancing. Chen Jingui's side has already been stunned when he thinks about it.
If you can get the appreciation of so many royal and official children, and even Zhou Pei can help flatter her, after entering Beijing, things like promotion and wealth are inevitable.
After that, there was nothing to say for a night, and when it was dawn, the fleet set off. In the next few days, the fleet passed most of the way safely. Every day seems to be leisurely and nothing to do, and Ning Yi mostly gets together with Yunzhu, Jin'er, Xiaochan and others, and everyone has their own things to do. Occasionally he would show off a song he knew, but he couldn't get approval as usual, Jin'er stuck out his tongue and made all kinds of weird faces, Xiaochan listened carefully, and Yunzhu wanted to help change it.
It's just a bit boring to take a boat every day. Yunzhu's temperament is indifferent, Xiaochan is used to being a maid, and can adapt to most situations, but Jin'er occasionally gets a little sullen, which is mostly Ning Yi's fault.
In fact, if only walking with Yunzhu, Jin'er would not necessarily feel stuffy. It's just that after Ning Yi and Xiaochan were inserted in the middle, the center of the crowd inevitably became Ning Yi. She wasn't necessarily uncomfortable with this in the past, but in the current situation, Ning Yi, Sister Yunzhu and Xiaochan are both. Having a skin-to-skin relationship, and sometimes inadvertently having a feeling of intimacy, made her feel like she was excluded. She could not lose her temper. Occasionally, when she quarreled with Ning Yi and lost, it was inevitable that she would be a little sullen. At this time, Yunzhu had no choice but to comfort her, or Ning Yi would go out and quarrel for a while. She was not a vengeful person. Sometimes Ning Yi deliberately tried to calm her down, but she would laugh when she was arguing.
This evening, when we reached the boundary of Xuzhou, when the fleet docked, the sky was overcast and the wind was strong. It seemed that it might rain soon. Jin'er and Ning Yi fought for a while, and they were in a fit of anger. After the boat stopped, they came down to relax, and when they walked to the river bank near the pier, they heard a conversation between a man and a woman in front of them.
In addition to a man and a woman walking in front, the woman was also followed by a maid and a servant. The two chatted, and the man seemed to be talking about someone punishing corrupt officials somewhere. The man said something interesting, Jin'er took a few glances, she probably knew both of them, and the woman with the two servants was Li Shishi, who is said to be known as the oiran of the capital. As for the man's tall and long back and profile Jun Lang is a young man named Wang Xian on the main ship. In the past few days, Ning Yi mentioned that there is such a person on the main ship. In Ning Yi's mouth, the other party is a handsome guy, comparable to the very beautiful and beautiful young handsome guy in Yangzhou she has seen before. Ning Yi even I joked that if she saw it, she might be moved.
Because of this, she had seen this man from a distance before, and at this time, she didn't hate the sound. He was talking about punishing corrupt officials, which was very interesting. Come on, the heroes of Liangshan are not killing innocent people indiscriminately."
That Wang Xian said: "I can't say this, after all, it is a rebellion, but these days, injustices are everywhere, and the folks in the countryside have indeed heard that the heroes of Liangshan are loyal and righteous people who act for the heavens... "
"I see… "
Master Li nodded. Jin'er, who was following behind, was angry for a while. She had heard that Li Shishi and Ning Yi were old acquaintances. Most of Ning Yi's family was about to be killed. She actually said that Liang Shanbo was a good person here. Unhappy in my heart, I immediately shouted: "It's all nonsense, nonsense, why do you say that the people in Liangshan are good people!"
She shouted like this, and the two in front turned around. That Wang Xian was stunned for a while, and said with a graceful hand, "This girl is..."
"You don't care who I am! Why are you here saying that the people in Liangshan are good people!"
"It's just hearsay, if the girl has anything..."
"The hearsay is that..."
Jin'er was shouting, when a figure suddenly came over, stretched out a hand and hugged her directly: "Jin'er what are you doing, do you know that Yunzhu has been looking for you for a long time, and you are still here with people quarrel."
It was Ning Yi who suddenly came over. For a while, he almost directly hugged Yuan Jin'er. Jin'er's body was frozen there, and he was stunned for a while, and Li Shishi was also stunned. In any case, this action is really too intimate, but Yuan Jin'er is still angry, then struggles, and points her finger: "They actually said that Liang Shan is a good person, you... uh—let me go—"
Before the words were finished, Ning Yi had already pulled her cheeks away and pulled them apart: "You are not a child anymore, you are still arguing with people all day long, lady, why don't you go back with me!" He put his arms around Jin'er Just leaving, Jin Er felt shy at this moment, her whole body was hot for a while and she didn't even know where to put her hands, she was hugged by Ning Yi and walked away like dough. After walking a few steps in this way, Ning Yi turned around and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the children are ignorant, the two continue to continue, as if they haven't seen us, go first and leave. "
After saying this, he hugged Jin'er again, and walked away in the direction of going back. Wang Xian watched the two disappear, and said with a smile, "What a strange person." Li Shishi frowned and thought for a while, but finally he didn't say anything.
It was a bit too much to hug Jin'er in public, but Ning Yi had nothing to do for a while, so he sent her back to comfort her a little, and handed it over to Yunzhu to settle it. He bumped into Wenren Buer, and that evening, the small pier in the Xuzhou boundary seemed quite lively. Originally, in the first battle of Hongze Lake, Chen Jingui's navy had more casualties, so he applied for reinforcements on the way, and when they got here, a team of more than 100 people came to join and complete the delivery and reporting ceremony. In this way, safety matters are even more secure, and the evening is a celebratory banquet as usual. Soon after, the torrential rain fell.
That night, the entire pier slept quite deeply, and occasionally there was the muffled sound of awake people being knocked out, which was also covered in the sudden heavy rain. It was not until after midnight, when the showers subsided, that the first cry came out. When most of the people woke up from the sequelae of **, they realized that one of the four ships had been sailed silently by the newly arrived more than 100 "sailors" in the heavy rain and darkness. gone.
After the incident in Hongze Lake, the real birth date was just transferred to that boat, and all of them were robbed at this time... .
