"The three of them must have just arrived in Zangnan Town. They said they were here to do business in sea fish and sea salt. But I don't think He Qingxuan looks like a businessman." Su Lin recalled.
"He Qingxuan has been in business for generations, don't get it wrong." Su Yiyi heard Xie Zhiyuan mention that He's Cloth Shop is the largest cloth shop in Qianzhou, and now He Qingxuan has taken over as the owner.
"How could I be wrong? He said it himself!" Su Lin said confidently.
"Then He Qingxuan, Ye Chongwen and Chen Ping have a very good relationship. Why do they tell you that they are not familiar with Chen Ping and are just classmates?" Su Yiyi was a little confused.
"I promise you don't want to talk too much to strangers."
"That makes sense. But why doesn't Chen Ping go with him?"
"Maybe Chen Ping wants to study."
"He's not a nerd." Su Yiyi muttered and continued: "Chen Ping wrote in a letter before that the vast sea is boundless, and it makes me feel empty when looking at it. If I can take a look at it, I might be able to survey the past and present..."
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he stood up and asked hurriedly: "What do they look like?"
"The boy He Qing chose was a handsome young man, and his brows could not hide his righteousness. Ye Chongwen spoke freely and freely, and he was also a forthright person. As for the last Xue Ren, although he did not speak a word, he had an amazing momentum, like a man walking in the world. ”
"Then how old is He Qingxuan?"
"I can't tell my exact age, but I should be a little younger than Ye Chongwen."
Su Yiyi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Smaller than Ye Chongwen! Chen Ping is the youngest among the three!"
Su Lin reacted and asked in surprise, "Sister, are you saying that He Qingxuan is Chen Ping?"
Su Yiyi was excited, and she felt an inexplicable certainty in her heart that Chen Ping was in Zangnan Town.
She never thought that the two of them would appear in the same place at the same time.
Maybe at this moment, they are less than ten miles apart.
Is there really such a wonderful fate in the world?
"That's him," Su Yiyi pursed her lips, "Do you really think others can't find him? Humph."
"So that's Chen Ping," Su Lin rolled his eyes and joked: "That's weird. Why did my brother-in-law give me a fake name to fool me?"
When Su Yiyi's face became hot, she raised her hand and hit her.
"What are you talking about? What kind of brother-in-law is not a brother-in-law? Why don't you try talking nonsense again?"
"Wait a minute!" Su Lin howled, "You've been telling me about Chen Ping, haven't you? You've been talking about him all day long, and now you blame me?"
"Anyway, let's talk nonsense first!" Su Yiyi stopped making trouble and calmed down, "He keeps his name anonymously, so he has his reasons."
Now is the time to worship ancestors, so it’s not easy to be distracted.
She looked at the high courtyard wall and pressed the matter aside.
A few days later, at the ancestor worship ceremony in Su Mansion.
The mistress of the Su family and her family members kowtowed devoutly, praying to their ancestors while kneeling to ensure that their daughter would find a husband as she wished, etc.
After worshiping for an hour, the prayer lasted for more than half an hour.
Su Yiyi, one head and two big, managed to survive until the end and said immediately.
"Mom, I want to go back to the room and rest first."
The face of the Su family's mistress changed slightly, "I think you are just afraid that I will be verbose!"
"No, mother, it's just the wind here that gives me a headache."
Su Yiyi blinked pitifully, the mistress of the Su family was soft-hearted after all.
"Okay, go down and rest, don't catch a cold."
"Okay, mother."
Su Yiyi blinked her eyes, smiled happily, turned back to the room, and began to pack her bags.
Seeing that she couldn't stop her, the maid had no choice but to ask, "Miss, what should I do if Madam blames me?"
"Shh, pack up quickly. Just treat it like the capital, let's play for a while secretly and then come back."
Su Yiyi took out a few banknotes from the money box and stuffed them into the bag.
The maid knew that she had her own opinion and could not change the things she had decided, so she could only sigh.
The master and servant changed their clothes, turned around and slipped out through the back door.
At this moment, there was a mute sound from the wooden door behind him.
"My good sister," Su Lin popped up with a half-smile, "Where are you going?"
The master and servant were stunned. Su Yiyi reacted and immediately puffed up her chest and put her hands on her hips, "What are you going to do!"
Su Lin leaned against the door and smiled, "Sister, isn't it appropriate to sneak out to play alone?"
"Why are you going out to play! Your sister and I are going to do something big?" Su Yiyi said with a righteous voice.
"Then I have to do something important," Su Lin narrowed his eyes, "to protect you."
Su Yiyi saw that he was not getting enough, so she had to say: "I left a letter for my mother. I will return to Beijing first. You..."
"I'm keeping it too. Besides, my brother-in-law dares to lie to me, which I can't bear!" Su Lin interrupted directly.
After finishing speaking, the two men who followed Su Lin yesterday immediately walked out of the door.
Each of them carried two big bags, and they were even more prepared than Su Yiyi.
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled together.
Su Lin waved his hand, "Let's go!"
"Where to go first?"
"Xiaodong Village, isn't he looking for a salt farm?"
……
A few days ago, Chen Ping and the others came to Xiaodong Village.
Fishing nets hanging to dry can be seen everywhere here, broken shells on the ground, and fish bones piled up in corners all carry a fishy smell.
This is indeed a place where fishermen gather. It seems that many people are drying salt, but there are also people from the government watching.
"It's not here," Zhao Jin walked around, "let's look elsewhere."
"Most of these salt farms have people from the government."
Zhao Jin gave instructions to the people in Jiulongtang beside him.
"Let everyone go to the surrounding villages and towns to inquire and say that they want to cooperate in doing business."
The person who was responsible for inquiring about the Jiulong Hall had been waiting for Chen Ping and the others in Jianzhou, and after meeting up, they came to Xiaodong Village.
But now it seems that private salt farms are not that easy to find, so we have to disperse people again to see if we can gain anything.
Chen Ping, Ye Chongwen, and Zhao Jin boarded the carriage again. If they want to find clues, they still have to go to hidden places and look for inconspicuous places.
After almost arranging the fishing villages for dozens of miles along the coast, a few people came to a rather dilapidated small fishing village.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is not even a village, just a dozen stone houses next to each other.
Unlike other villages where fishermen still gather, there seems to be no one living here.
"This place is somewhat similar to those delivery points in Qianzhou." Zhao Jin lowered his voice and said.
Chen Ping looked around and thought, "But, there is no one here."
Ye Chongwen touched his chin, "Not only is there no one, there's not even any fireworks."
The three of them walked around the small fishing village twice and found nothing unusual.
The wind on the sea surface became more and more violent, and the salty smell blew for a long time, making Chen Ping feel a little nauseous.
He couldn't hold on any longer and said to Zhao Jin: "Let's go..."
"Stop!"
Rustling footsteps quickly approached, and dozens of rough-faced men in shorts suddenly ran out from behind the rocks on the coast.
They surrounded the three of them without any explanation.
Zhao Jin immediately drew out his long knife, his eyes filled with desperate ferocity.
I saw a man jumping out and yelling viciously.
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road!"
Looking at the surrounding stone houses and rocky beaches, there was not even a palm tree, and everyone fell silent.
"Go away, what are you yelling about!"
The rough and arrogant man in the lead kicked the man away. He felt that he was embarrassed and his lines did not fit the scene at all.
When Chen Ping saw the leader coming out, he took a step forward, cupped his hands in greeting and asked.
"We are passing by this place, so I'm sorry for entering rashly. Don't you know the name of this good man?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The big man shouted loudly: "I am the ancestor of pirates in this area!"
Everyone was silent again.
(PS: Shuyouquan’s suggestions have been received, and they are indeed reasonable. I will adjust them as soon as possible. The other symptoms have disappeared, except for the severe cough, which makes my head hurt, and it is really difficult to code. I strive to be the best in Jianzhou
In a large part of the plot, the problem is solved.)
