Chapter 72
Feng Wenwen and Qiqi brought enough silver to his master and servant, disguised as a man, and wanted to take a boat from Tongzhou. On the way, he heard from the coachman that the northern canal had not thawed yet, and that the boat would not be available to take a boat when he arrived in Dezhou. So he added silver to the coachman and asked him to
The two were sent to Texas.
The coachman is a strong man in his forties. He has been through the world for a long time and has pulled two people from the door of Yinglian's mansion. Seeing them dressed up, he guessed their identities at a glance and was curious. In addition, Feng Wenwen gave enough money, so he was naturally willing to do so.
He turned around and headed straight for Texas. He took care of the two girls along the way, and he was familiar with the journey, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Don’t look at Feng Wenwen as a lady from a family, but she is actually smart. After arriving in Texas, she knew that although she and Qiqi changed into men’s clothing, they still couldn’t hide their beauty. They would not be happy to see the hunting.
He spent two taels of silver to buy two sets of normal clothes worn by a man with the woman near the dock, and then applied them with coal ash and other objects, dressed himself and Qiqi up, and looked in the mirror and found that no one could see it.
After the two were pretty girls, they thanked the woman who sold clothes and rushed to the dock to find a boat.
As Qiqi wanted to hire a boat alone, Feng Wenwen felt that she and Qiqi were dressed like this. If they hired a boat alone, they would not agree. While looking around, they suddenly saw Qiqi staring behind her.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but look back strangely and found a very handsome young man leading a group of subordinates to his direction.
But I saw this man wearing a melon-skin hat, a black whip with a red rope, floating behind him in the wind, his nose was hanging like a gallbladder, his eyes were like vague paint, but his face turned pale, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, and his body was thin.
After walking a few steps, I coughed with a veil, as if I had some disease.
A gorgeous sailboat parked next to the dock near Feng Wenwen and his men. A big flag was hung on the top of the mast, and a big word "Fan" was written on it. The young master walked straight towards the ship and passed by the two men.
At that time, Feng Wenwen suddenly had an idea and pulled the other party's sleeve and begged: "Young master, that boat is yours. Can you take a walk and take us a ride? We won't sit in vain, give us money!"
The young master was startled by Feng Wenwen who rushed up suddenly, coughed a few times, waved his hand to signal his subordinates behind him to silence. He looked at Feng Wenwen and Qiqi and found that they were thin, wearing coarse cloth robes, and had dirty faces.
Yes, frowned in disgust, and was about to instruct his subordinates to bomb the two of them, but suddenly he found that the part of Feng Wenwen's collar showed a trace of snow-whiteness. He couldn't help but move. He looked at the two of them carefully, and smiled faintly and said:
"Take a boat? Where do you want to go?"
"Suzhou!" Qiqi snatched quickly, his eyes shyly and silently, and he remained the young master's face.
Feng Wenwen turned around and glared at her, and said to the young master in a thick voice: "He is right. We want to go to Suzhou, but I wonder if the young master can do it?"
"What about Suzhou? It's a good way, but I have never carried strangers on my boat. Look at you two, you might as well make a mistake today. Each person costs fifty taels of silver. I'll take you to Suzhou to go to Suzhou.
,how?"
She was wearing such a torn dress, and she had a hundred taels of silver. The subordinates who were beside the young master complained in his heart, but were shocked by the silver notes that Feng Wenwen took out, and her eyes were all over the ground.
"Here, one hundred taels, see if it's true?" Feng Wenwen said with a smile.
The young master took the silver notes without any surprise, and put them in his arms without even reading them. He smiled and said, "I believe you, okay, get on the boat!"
"My name is Feng Wen. This is my younger brother Feng Qi. Haven't you asked the young master for his name Gao?" Feng Wenwen asked the young master while boarding the ship.
"My surname is Fan, his name is Tong, Wutong, his name is Mujin, and his name is Mujin, and his Shanxi Jiexiu people answered politely. He did not have the accent from Shanxi, but was soft, not like a masculine man, but like a weak female romance.
.
Feng Wenwen didn't notice it just now, and now she got closer. She couldn't help looking at Fan Tong's neck and found it smooth and delicate. She couldn't help laughing secretly. She thought she didn't expect that Li Gui would touch Li Gui, all of which were fakes, and she couldn't help but explore.
He grabbed the other person's hand and wanted to tease her.
Seeing Feng Wenwen's movements, Fan Tong knew that he had seen through them, so he was not panicked. He let him catch them generously, held them with his backhand, held Feng Wenwen's hand and stepped onto the deck, and asked while walking towards the cabin, "Listen to you."
Audio and video are from Beijing. I know many people there. It’s better to talk about your family background. Maybe I know you even if I know you!"
The two of them were shocked by the intimate actions of the people behind them. Fan Tong's subordinates all thought: Could the lady be ill and confused? How could she let the ragged and dirty boy hold hands? That boy would not be confused.
Is the heart art? Is the lady's soul fascinated by the eyes?
Qiqi thought: The lady is so bad. She lost all day long and Shanbao was hanging on her mouth. Now, seeing that her parents are beautiful, she immediately threw Shanbao behind her head. Humph, it's so hateful
Now!
Feng Wenwen knew that her identity had been seen through when she caught the opponent without resisting. At this moment, she noticed that everyone's expressions were different, but she did not expose them. Instead, she felt quite interesting. She looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
A feeling of mutual appreciation arises.
"My family in Beijing is a small family. My father works as a choreer in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he is a good meal. He doesn't know him even after he talks." Feng Wenwen became more sensible and did not tell her identity, but asked:
"It's you, seeing how beautiful you are on the boat, you said that you are from Jiexiu, Shanxi, and I don't know what Fan Qinghong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
"It's my father!" Fan Tong said solemnly, knowing that Feng Wenwen must have concealed her life experience, otherwise, with a small servant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she probably wouldn't have the chance to know her father who specializes in buying copper pounds for the Qing government, but she didn't
He pointed it out and asked, "I am bluntly, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If you are not staying in Beijing, why should you go to Suzhou?"
"It's a long story!" Feng Wenwen thought of Heshen and couldn't help but sighed sadly: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I told you. I ran out of it. My father didn't agree to my marriage with him. He was not in Beijing, so I wanted to learn
Hongfu ran to Suzhou to find him. When he arrived here, he was worried and didn't want to meet you. It was a fate. Don't look down on me."
Having entered the cabin at this moment, Fan Tong waved his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat, leaving only a maid and Qiqi in the cabin, looking at Feng Wenwen with a smile and asked, "Good sister, who is 'he'?"
At this moment, Qiqi also figured out the situation. Thinking of the thoughts that came to her heart when she first saw Fan Tong, she couldn't help but blush and complained to Feng Wenwen: "Miss, you are so bad. You have long seen that the young master is a daughter, but you didn't tell Qi that he didn't tell Qi
Sigh 1, it hurt me..."
Fan Tong was stunned, burst into laughter, and coughed violently. The maid was so scared that she quickly stepped forward to pound her back. Feng Wenwen was also busy stroking her chest. Qiqi looked at the teapot placed by the table and picked it up and found that there was water inside.
, quickly poured a cup and brought it over.
After a lot of trouble, Fan Tong then came to his anger and waved to Feng Wenwen and others, "Okay, OK, I'm fine. I just laughed out loud. In addition, I've been overworking recently and have some internal illness. Now I'm drinking a tea.
, it feels much better!”
"That's it!" Feng Wenwen nodded and said, "I'm about to ask you, during the Chinese New Year, you are a weak woman who is not at home, so why are you going out for? Besides, your family is a big businessman in Shanxi, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing.
What do you need to work hard for a weak woman?"
"I know my own affairs," Fan Tong thought of his troubles and couldn't help but sigh: "Who can know the hardships outsiders look at our scenery?" He said, shook his head and rushed to the side of him
The maid ordered, "Take the two girls down and change into clean clothes, then wash them. Now on my boat, no one dares to make a decision about you. I feel uncomfortable when I look at it."
Seeing that Fan Tong didn't want to say much, Feng Wenwen knew that it was a secret, so she stopped asking. As the maid went out, only Fan Tong was left in the cabin.
Fan Tong looked out of the boat blankly until someone came in and asked, "Everything is done, will you set sail now?" He woke up from his chaotic thoughts, nodded, and after the man left, he walked to the bed.
At the desk, grind ink with plain hands, pulled out the letter paper and suppressed it. He took out a pen from the drawer, but it was the graphite pen that Heshen and Fu Kang'an tinkered with fine golden fur, which looked particularly delicate.
.
Frowning and pondering for a moment, holding a pen and writing on the letter paper:
"My father is so happy! When I saw this letter, my daughter probably came to Yangzhou! Before leaving, my uncle entrusted my daughter to investigate the salt affairs and asked to visit Lord You and the prefect of Yangzhou Xie Qikun. The two of them had a friendship with us, so the matter of salt was decided.
No errors. The accounts in various places are clear and accurate. The total number of silver is 130,000 taels of silver is collected. Only the shopkeeper of Zhangde Mansion Qian Sanduo is greedy for 3,000 taels of silver. All of them have been verified.
After returning to the silver liang, I sent it to the official for investigation. The copper jin matter has accumulated a long time, and it has not been a day and night
I can make contributions, I hope my father will give me time. After I arrive in Suzhou, I will work hard and do my best to make up for the shortcomings I have owed in previous years. The future is bleak, and my father should put his health first in Beijing, so don’t worry about his daughter! Also: Dezhou
A woman met at the pier, calling her father a servant in the Internal Affairs Office and a lover, and ran out of the house. Her daughter observed her actions, but she looked like a daughter from a famous family. She knew her father's name and hoped that her father would visit her. If she was really caught by her daughter's information, she
, In the future, my father may get some help in the capital."
After writing the signature, I put the pen, fold the letter paper and put it in the envelope and seal it with fire paint, and call it into a subordinate: "Immediately board the boat and go ashore, hand this letter to our people in Texas, and send a quick horse to my father's office in Beijing.
, no mistakes are allowed!”
After he went down, Fan Tong heard someone knock on the door and ordered him to come in. He saw Feng Wenwen wearing a soapy robe, a purple melon-skin hat, and her big black braids hanging behind her, and her eyes were curved like crescent moons.
, Qiao Shengsheng stood at the door, and couldn't help but lit up. He hurriedly stood up and smiled, "What a handsome young man, come on, let my sister see, tsk, such a handsome girl, I don't know the lover you are thinking about at that time
What kind of person should I be worthy of my sister? Tell me, let me help you with your advice. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give it up early and I’ll introduce you to you one more time!”
Feng Wenwen's face turned slightly red, and she pounded Fan Tong's shoulder lightly: "Sister will make fun of me!" As she said that, she walked into the door and sat on the bed, pulled Fan Tong to sit next to her, and suddenly showed a look of depression on her face:
"Sister, you said, will I make him angry if I ran out so secretly to find him?"
"Who is it that makes my sister miss her? Tell me quickly, don't keep it a secret, it makes me feel itchy!" After seeing Feng Wenwen's true face, Fan Tong became more sure of her judgment of her life experience, and said in his heart
