The fleet is getting further and further away, but there are constant storms on the Huangpu River.
I saw the inspection department's boats going back and forth, forcing passing ships to stop from time to time, and then boarding and searching them.
Of course, no one would dare to harass the Xu family's ship without opening their eyes.
"Xu, what big case happened?"
Xu Ruolin stared at the river and guessed.
The happiest person to be able to leave the humid Jiangnan and go home is Wang Siyi.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm here. No matter who the big robber is, if he dares to attack, he will be called... wow..."
Oh my god, I vomited again.
Xu Ruoxin and Wang Siyi are about the same age, and they have become good friends during this period. They slapped Wang Siyi and laughed at them.
"You're a landlubber, why do you want to protect others? Take care of yourself first."
Wang Siyi's face turned blue and her eyes were blurry.
"Hmph, as long as you get to land and give me a war horse, no one will be my opponent."
Xu Ruoxin just didn't believe it, but she didn't ridicule it.
The fleet sailed out of the Huangpu River and began to sail upstream along the Yangtze River. Before they got very far, there was a sudden noise in the cabin.
"Who? Come out!"
The soldiers of the guard company rushed over quickly, stood ready, and cornered a dark corner.
Everyone on the boat was alerted and rushed over one after another.
I saw a faint cry coming from the corner where the goods were piled, and then a thin figure slowly moved out.
When they came under the sun, everyone's eyes couldn't help but shine.
The Yangtze River runs like a jade belt, so this woman should be wearing beads.
Even though he was dripping wet and very embarrassed, he could not hide the beauty of the country, which was full of elegance and fragrance.
But there was one person who couldn't be happy, and that was Fu Yusun.
He glanced at the guard company with sinister eyes and shouted: "Who is responsible for guarding this ship?"
A squad leader stood up, dejected, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Fu Yusun's voice was cold and very scary.
"Everyone in the third class will receive a major demerit, and everyone will write a letter of apology when they return home."
He couldn't help getting angry.
As Zuo Mengeng's ship, a stranger actually boarded the ship. Fortunately, she was a thin little girl. If this was an enemy...
Fu Yusun's entire back was covered in cold sweat.
Zuo Mengeng looked at this and did not intercede for the guard squad.
To make a mistake is to make a mistake, and to make a mistake is to accept punishment. This is the rule.
Being given a serious demerit, and his future promotions would be affected, the third squad leader felt so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he really hated that little girl.
"Take her away and interrogate her carefully."
It is conceivable that if the little girl fell into their hands, she would lose half her life.
Zuo Mengeng hurriedly stepped forward.
"Go down, you don't need to take care of this matter anymore."
The security squad had no choice but to retreat to the perimeter.
But Zuo Mengeng became the center of attention, and everyone looked at him meaningfully. Especially Xu Ruolin's eyes, which were really subtle.
Zuo Mengeng suddenly realized that he had been misunderstood.
"A little girl, nothing to make a fuss about."
Xu Ruoxin helped her sister speak out.
"The little girl is very beautiful."
At critical moments, brothers have to step forward.
Zhang Haogu decided to share Zuo Mengeng's worries.
"Second left, please don't disturb me. Brother, I am quite accomplished in interrogation. Just hand this girl over to me and I will make sure she has nowhere to hide."
Zuo Mengeng looked over with complicated eyes, very suspicious.
Zhang Haogu quickly patted his chest.
"Don't worry, brother, gambling and drug addiction are incompatible with each other."
Pooh!
Zuo Mengeng was too lazy to talk to him, and asked in public: "Who are you? Why did you get on our ship? Those patrolmen and gangsters are trying to arrest you, right?"
Without the menacing soldiers, the little girl actually calmed down, didn't have stage fright at all, and spoke in a coherent manner.
"General Zuo, you are polite. My little girl, Yang Chao, has admired the general for a long time."
Good guy, the atmosphere is getting even weirder.
Zuo Mengeng knew clearly that he had done nothing, but he couldn't help but feel hot all over.
The most urgent task is to prove one's innocence.
"Have I seen you? I'm warning you, if you don't tell me clearly, you will die today."
The little girl raised her head, looking more and more pitiful, with a hint of Jiangnan mist.
"On that day, General Zuo and his wife got married, and the little girl attended the ceremony with her mother. In this world, men are superior to women, and there is no other man who respects and loves my daughter like General Zuo. Yang Chao has nothing to ask for, and he can serve the general.
I will die without regrets."
Zuo Mengeng never expected that he would get a crush after getting married.
But what Yang Chao said made him dumbfounded.
"Since you said that I respect and love women, you should understand what you mean. And if you also said that you want to serve me, wouldn't you be belittling yourself?"
Using his spear and attacking his shield, Yang Chao was stunned.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed your own fault.
But through her words, others heard the mystery.
Huang Zongxi looked at her and asked, "Are you from Zhangtai?"
Yang Chao lowered his head in humiliation, not denying it, but admitting it.
Seeing that Zuo Mengeng was confused, Xu Ruolin explained softly in his ear.
"Zhangtai is the brothel."
It turns out that the title "Mom" was commonly used in the Qin Lou and Chu Palaces in the Ming Dynasty, and was rarely seen by ordinary people. Therefore, Yang Chao was recognized as soon as he opened his mouth.
Knowing this, Zuo Mengeng quickly thought of something else.
"Did you escape?"
Yang Chao flinched, he was not a liar after all.
"That day, I witnessed the wedding of the general and his wife, and the little girl was filled with envy. She wanted nothing more in this life, she just wanted to find a true love. After telling her mother, she agreed in person. But who knew that the little girl later overheard her?
Then, she still wanted to sell the little girl into an official's home as a slave. The little girl was unwilling, so... she ran away."
After saying that, she fell to her knees and begged again and again.
"I beg the general for mercy and don't send the little girl back. The old man in the Zhou Pavilion is old, but he is greedy for sex and lust. He committed himself to this person, which will ruin his life."
Others had not done anything, but Huang Zongxi snorted: "The bitch is ruthless, the actor is unrighteous, you really can't deceive me. Your mother is so vicious and insidious, she deserves to die."
Yang Chao was speechless, obviously not wanting to speak directly to his elders.
Li Banghua heard something else.
"Mr. Zhou Ge? Which Mr. Zhou Ge?"
Yang Chao cheered up and said, "This is Mr. Zhou Ge from Wujiang, who has just returned to his hometown after serving as an official. The little girl met him once a few years ago. She is old, but she has a romantic nature and is disrespectful to her old age."
Li Banghua suddenly realized.
"Zhou Wen'an is stupid and incompetent. He invited heaven to serve as a member of the cabinet, but he said nothing was accomplished, and yet he behaved like this."
Zuo Mengeng also knew that it turned out that the Zhou Pavilion Boss was Zhou Daodeng. When Chongzhen held the Golden Vase lottery, he took this opportunity to become the Pavilion Boss.
But this guy has no talent or ability, accomplishes nothing in his job, and never gets ahead.
Later, seeing that he was really incompetent, Chongzhen simply dismissed him, so he returned to Wujiang to live happily, and even set his sights on cardamom girls like Yang Chao.
When I think of Zhou Daodeng, he might be able to kick his legs someday. A pretty little girl like Yang Chao was really spoiled if she followed him.
Even out of sympathy, Zuo Mengeng would not let such a thing happen.
"If there is enough for you to eat, just follow."
Yang Chao was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him. His face was filled with tears of happiness as he was freed from the sea of suffering.
Zuo Mengeng shook his head and didn't care. He pointed at Xu Ruolin and said, "From now on, you will just follow my wife. I see you are so smart. Learn more so that you can support yourself in the future."
Yang Chao was stunned and tried his best to say: "The little girl is involved in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the future, she will serve the general and she will not dare to make any mistakes."
Zuo Mengeng laughed loudly.
"What are you thinking about? I don't need a maid by my side, and neither does my wife. It is precisely because you are literate that you can study hard with her. Remember, as a human being, you should respect yourself and love yourself. You are not anyone's vassal, nor
You are not anyone’s plaything. Work hard and live your own wonderful life.”
Yang Chao was stunned, his mind was filled with Zuo Mengeng's words.
From childhood to adulthood, she has learned the art of pleasing men.
Although she is noble at heart, pretentious and wants to live a vigorous life, she also knows that as a daughter, in this world, she is just needlessly deceiving herself.
But today, there was a man she admired who treated her as an equal.
For a moment, Yang Chao seemed to see the light he had always been looking forward to, approaching from far to near, coming to his side.
In a daze, Xu Ruolin slowly approached and took her hand.
"Get up quickly, we don't want to kneel down here. Since he handed you over to me, from now on, you will be my disciple. You are a smart girl, study hard, and you will definitely shine in the future."
Yang Chao suddenly noticed something and couldn't help asking: "Madam, your hair..."
When a woman gets married, her hair needs to be tied up. But the Xu Ruolin in front of her has waterfall-like hair, natural and natural, like a girl.
Xu Ruolin didn't think anything of it. She pointed at Zuo Mengeng and said with a smile: "He doesn't care about this. Besides, if our hair grows on our bodies, naturally we have the final say."
Yang Chao's eyes were full of energy. He looked at Zuo Mengeng who was calm and composed, and then looked at Xu Ruolin who was free and easy and self-respecting. He was completely impressed by this couple.
