Chapter 369
The boat sailed steadily and the weather was sunny. After passing Hongze Lake, we headed north along the Bianshui River.
As the section of the Tongji Canal of the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it will no longer be seen in later generations, but at this time, connecting the north and south waterways, it is still the most important route in the Grand Canal.Although it was the flood season at this time, the current in the canal was not too urgent, and many fishing boats and merchant ships occasionally passed by within sight.
In the room of the cabin, several pairs of eyes rolled around, and there was a strange feeling of staring.This cabin is not small, but the lineup of three women and one man still looks a bit strange at the moment.Regarding what Ning Yi said about everyone sitting together during the day and "office" by the way, Yun Zhu, who knew about it last night, of course had nothing to say, but when Ning Yi introduced Xiao Chan to them, Xiao Chan and Jin'er The expression on her face seemed to be frightened. They had connected in private before, but now they don’t know how to greet naturally. When Ning Yi was writing something on the desk near the window in the room, Xiaochan and Jin Sitting on one side blankly, watching this scene, he could only make eye contact.
Ning Yi said a few words that everyone can meet like this, it is really destined and other nonsense, of course no one believes it.Believe it or not is not the subject of discussion right now.Based on their understanding of Ning Yi, they thought that this matter would be hidden from both sides before it was necessary to reveal it. Jin'er and even Xiao Chan may not have little thoughts in their hearts to scare him, and now they really don't know. What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd.
As for Yunzhu, sitting over there with a book in his hand, he naturally couldn't read it at first, his eyes rolled around, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.Ning Yi buried his head and wrote something, looked up at them, then put his hands on the table, holding his chin: "What's wrong?"
Even though their mentality is mature, the four people in the room are all in their 20s after all, and they still look youthful and lively.Ning Yi had an interesting expression, and Jin'er stood up suddenly: "I'm going to make tea." After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked outside, Xiao Chan also quickly raised her hand: "I, I'm going to help..."
The two went out in a panic, Ning Yi touched his earlobe, and when he turned his gaze to Yunzhu, he saw Yunzhu looking over from behind the book, met his gaze, and quickly dropped it.After a while, she put down the book with a smile and said, "I, I also go out to help..."
"Do you need three people to make a cup of tea?" Ning Yi laughed.Yunzhu lowered her head slightly, and then glanced at him: "Then I'll go to the hut..." If she had had a relationship with Ning Yi, she might not have said such a thing, but now her face was slightly red, and she pursed her lips After going out and closing the door again, Ning Yi shook his head and laughed.
In the cabin corridor outside the door, Jin'er and Xiao Chan were indeed whispering, Jin'er pinched his chin with a pensive expression: "It's weird..." Xiao Chan pinched her fist and was a little embarrassed: "What should I do? Uncle, don't you know..."
"Know what?" Jin'er gave her a white look, "How is it possible?"
"Uncle is very powerful."
"How powerful he can be, he's not a god." Jin'er pursed her lips, then turned her head to look at Xiao Chan, "And... you are his woman now, why are you afraid of him?"
"I, I'm not afraid... I'm afraid of my husband, I don't want to make him angry."
"Has he ever been angry with you?"
"No, but I still don't want to make my husband angry... We as maids have to be conscious..."
"You are no longer a maid!"
"It's the same, so my husband will like it..."
"You're mad at me." Jin'er glared at her, "You are his woman, so you should show off your vixen's coquettishness, and make him follow you for everything. I told you yesterday, and I taught you Yours, you want to..."
She was probably instilling some weird things into Xiao Chan for the past two days, but Xiao Chan also looked at her with a blushing face.Seeing that this little girl is unteachable, Jin'er was a little discouraged, and when Yunzhu came over from there, she frowned and said, "Sister Yunzhu, what's the matter with him?"
"I don't know either." Yun Zhu was also strange.
"Why is he like this, Sister Yunzhu, you...and Xiaochan...how could he let you meet, it's too messy..."
They didn't want to do messy things at first, at most they thought that Ning Yi would not let them meet, so they had a joke before and wanted to see his jokes.When they really meet one day, see how Ning Yi will explain this matter in embarrassment. The person who proposed this idea is naturally Jin'er who likes to make a fuss.
What might be unreasonable for the man after a thousand years is really not a big deal right now, especially after the experience of the Su family massacre, both parties have more or less realized that things cannot be changed.At this time, they were actually embarrassed.
Of course, at this time, even if it was difficult, there was nothing they could do. Several people made tea and went in, each whitewashing the peace.But Ning Yi has a good personality in front of his family. After all, he is not a man-eating guy. He was restrained for a while because of his attitude, and the feeling of sympathy between each other made it easier to get along later. No matter what the relationship was in private before, In front of Ning Yi, after all, it is still the difference between the main room and the outer room that need to compete for favor.
In this way, until this afternoon, Ning Yi buried his head in writing, and Yunzhu sat over there reading, and he was able to calm down.Xiaochan bubbled tea to deal with some trivial chores, and then took a log and sat there to embroider. After embroidering for a while, she was dragged by the active Jin'er and whispered, and then dragged her to the next room for a while. After a lot of tossing.
Occasionally, Ning Yi was free and listened carefully. The voices of Jin'er and Xiao Chan over there were also quiet, and they couldn't hear clearly through a bulkhead, but occasionally heard Xiao Chan's call of "ahhh", and then listened to fragmentary voices. It seemed that Yuan Jin'er was teaching her to lower her waist or something.In all fairness, even though she is too lively on weekdays and has no image in front of Ning Yi, but she can get the reputation of an oiran, classmate Jin'er is indeed a beautiful messy long-legged handsome girl, and she dances very well.But after listening for a while, Ning Yi naturally knew that he was not teaching dance, and was speechless for a while. Yunzhu sat on the edge of the bed, also covered his mouth with a book, and looked at him with interesting eyes.
Xiaochan was tossed for a while, and ran away unbearably humiliated. Jin'er stretched her body and came in humming, triumphantly. Ning Yi guessed that most of what she thought in her heart was that teaching Xiaochan the art of the room would allow her to follow her. Tan'er's scheming to fight for favor and make the Su family restless.
It wasn't long before Xiao Chan came in again. The big ship was moving forward, and the sun shone in from the open window. Ning Yi occasionally wrote, occasionally thought, and occasionally said a few words to a few people.What Yunzhu was reading was also the popular romance script at this time, and she would occasionally see some poems in it, and if everyone was interested, she would sing it softly.Although the lyrics are mediocre, under Yunzhu's singing voice, they are mellow and melodious, and sometimes Xiao Chan will be fascinated by them.
In the evening, when the fleet stopped in a small town on the shore, Wenren Buer and others came to look for him. They 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 would see the little princess Zhou Pei looking down from the ship's side, with a graceful expression and generous and natural eyes, but in the eyes that glanced over Ning Yi's side, it was obvious that something had become Super spy-like sense of substitution.
The sun was setting, and there was a lively atmosphere on the pier and among the fleets. The lingering warmth of the water-breaking bandits was still there, and the celebration of peace and prosperity at night. Sometimes singing came from the main ship, and there were intertwined cups of wine. Although the defense was not relaxed, the Thinking about it, Chen Jingui was overwhelmed with praise.
If he can get the appreciation of so many royal families and officials' children, and even Zhou Pei can help flatter him, after entering Beijing, things like getting promoted and making a fortune are indispensable.
After that, there was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, the fleet set off.In the next few days, the fleet passed most of the journey safely.It seems that there is nothing to do every day, and Ning Yi mostly gathers with Yunzhu, Jin'er, Xiaochan and others, and everyone has their own things to do.Occasionally he would show off the songs he knew, but as usual, he didn't get approval, Jin'er stuck out his tongue and made all kinds of strange faces, Xiaochan listened carefully, and Yunzhu would think of helping to change it.
It's just that it's a bit boring to take a boat every day.Yun Zhu is indifferent, Xiao Chan is also used to being a maid, and can adapt to most situations, Jin'er occasionally feels a little depressed, which is mostly Ning Yi's fault.
In fact, if she only walked with Yunzhu, Jin'er might not feel depressed.It's just that after Ning Yi and Xiao Chan were inserted in the middle, the center of everyone inevitably became Ning Yi. She didn't have any displeasure about this in the past, but in the current situation, Ning Yi, Sister Yunzhu and Xiao Chan are both There are skin relatives, and sometimes there is a feeling of intimacy inadvertently, which makes her feel like she is excluded. She can't lose her temper, and occasionally loses a fight with Ning Yi, and it is inevitable that she will be a little sulky.At this time, Yunzhu had no choice but to comfort her, or Ning Yi went out and quarreled for a while. She is not a person who holds grudges. Sometimes Ning Yi deliberately calms her down, but she will laugh when she is arguing.
That evening, when the fleet arrived at the boundary of Xuzhou, the sky was gloomy and the wind was strong. It seemed that it might rain soon.Jin'er and Ning Yi had a fight, and they were angry. After the boat stopped, they came down to relax. When they walked to the embankment 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 ahead, the woman was accompanied by a servant girl and servants. The two chatted. 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 the two of them, the woman with the two servants was Li Shishi, who is said to be known as the king of the capital, and the man was tall and tall, and his back and profile were also different Handsome, he is the 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 handsome guy she has seen in Yangzhou before. Just kidding, if she saw it, she might be moved.
Because of this incident, she had seen this man from a distance before, and she didn't hate the voice she heard at this time. He was talking about punishing corrupt officials, which was full of wit and wit. After he finished speaking, Li Shishi next to him asked softly: "So Come on, the heroes of Liangshan are not killing innocent people indiscriminately."
That Wang Xian said: "It's hard for me to say this, after all, I am rebelling, but in these years, injustices have happened everywhere, and the folks in the countryside have indeed heard that the heroes of Liangshan are loyal people who do justice for the heavens... ..."
"I see……"
Master Li nodded.Jin'er, who was following behind, was out of breath 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, and she actually said here that Liang Shanbo is a good person.Feeling upset, Dang even yelled out: "It's all nonsense, nonsense, why do you say that people in Liangshan are good people!"
When she shouted like this, the two people in front turned their heads.That Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands gracefully and said, "This girl is..."
"You don't care who I am! Why do you say that Liangshan people are good people here!"
"It's just hearsay, if the girl has something..."
"From hearsay, that's..."
Jin'er was yelling, when a figure suddenly walked 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 talking to others?" quarrel."
It was Ning Yi who came over suddenly. For a while, he almost hugged Yuan Jin'er directly. Jin'er's body was stiff there, and he was stunned for a while, and Li Shishi was also stunned.In any case, this gesture was really too intimate, but Yuan Jiner was still angry, then struggled a bit, and pointed his finger over: "They actually said that Liang Shan is a good person, you... um—let me go—"
Before she finished speaking, Ning Yi had already grabbed her cheeks on both sides and pulled them away: "You are not a child anymore, and you are still arguing with people all day long, lady, please go back with me!" He hugged Jin'er Just leaving, Jin'er felt shy at this time, her whole body was hot for a while, and she didn't even know where to put her hands, and she was hugged by Ning Yi like dough and left.After walking a few steps in this way, Ning Yi turned around and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, children are ignorant, the two continue, the two continue, just pretend that you 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 about it, but finally he didn't say anything.
Hugging Jin'er in public is a bit too much, but Ning Yi has no choice but to send her back to comfort her a little, and hand it over to Yunzhu to settle.He bumped into Wenren Buer, and it was also in the evening that this small pier in the boundary of Xuzhou seemed quite lively.Originally, in the battle of Hongze Lake, Chen Jingui's navy suffered a lot of casualties, so he applied for reinforcements on the way. When they arrived here, a team of more than a hundred people came to meet up and completed the delivery and reporting ceremony.In this way, safety matters were even more secure, and as usual, there was a celebration banquet in the evening, and soon after, heavy rain fell.
That night, the entire pier was in a deep sleep, and there were occasional muffled sounds of awake people being knocked out, which were also covered by the sudden heavy rain.It was not until after midnight, when the shower gradually subsided, that the first cry came out.When most of the people woke up from the aftereffects of the sweat medicine, they discovered that one of the four ships had been driven away silently by more than 100 new "sailors" taking advantage of the heavy rain and darkness .
And after the Hongze Lake incident, the real birthday card was just transferred to that boat, and it was all taken away by people at this time...
