Wu Wa'er gave the order, and the boat left the dock and sailed forward. Wu Wa'er sat down in the cabin, looked at Yan Yan up and down, and gradually showed sympathy in her eyes, and then asked: "Young lady, you boarded the boat rashly" , I am alone, and I don’t know my details, so aren’t I afraid that I will have evil intentions and do something detrimental to my wife?”
Tang Yanyan laughed and said: "How old are you for a little kid to say such a thing? Huh? Look at you, you look like a pampered young man from a wealthy family. How come you dare to travel a long distance with only one maid?"
Wu Wa'er smiled slightly and said: "My lord... my surname is Yang, Yang Gui. I am a son of Huaizhong. I came to Beijing to take the exam. Because I didn't pass, I was studying in Beijing to prepare for the autumn exam. My father accidentally fell ill. Yang I was worried about it, so I gave up the autumn test and took my maid home. Yang's family has always had business dealings with this shipyard, and they are already familiar with each other, so what else is there to worry about?"
Tang Yanyan suddenly said: "It's no wonder. Let me tell you, looking at your pink and tender body, it is more delicate than a girl's. You are the son of a wealthy family, so... the slave family has nothing to worry about. "
Wu Wa'er's eyes flickered and she asked, "What's the important thing for Madam to rush to Jianghuai in such a hurry?"
Tang Yanyan was dressed in coarse blue clothes. He didn't look like a wealthy family, so he had to make up nonsense and sighed quietly: "To be honest, young master, my husband is a businessman who travels between Jianghuai and Bianjing, doing business to support his family." Seeing how hard he worked, the slave family felt pity for him, so he ran the house diligently and thriftily, spent his days carefully, and took great care of his enemy.
Who would have thought... he actually took a concubine in Huaizhong, and kept it secret from me when he traveled back and forth between the two places. It was only after the slave family heard what the second brother next door told him that he took a concubine. The official was seduced by that shameless vixen. How can the Nu family feel at ease after Hun'er is gone? In this rush to go south, the Nu family just wants to find that heartless official. Alas, to be honest with the young master, the Nu family was originally from a wealthy family. Although they encountered a sudden disaster, their family and family He is ruined, and when he asks himself about his character and status, there is no one who is not worthy of him. I didn’t expect him..."
When Wu Wa'er heard that they were both girls, she couldn't help but feel sympathy. At the same time, she herself was a concubine. When Tang Yanyan called the concubines taken by her husband a shameless vixen, she instinctively He felt protective and advised softly: "Madam, don't worry too much. Your husband still travels between the two places and sees you all the time. It is obvious that he still respects and loves you as a lady in his heart. It is normal for men to have concubines. , in this case, he is unwilling to tell the truth, probably because he is afraid that you will be jealous and sad. It is also possible to do stupid things out of love and fear."
Tang Yanyan was born into a wealthy family. The men in the family had three wives and six concubines, and they were accustomed to the scene of beautiful maids. When Qin Yiyun expressed his love to her, he went to a brothel with his third brother and others to have a romantic relationship. Although she Pursuing him with a sword was mainly due to his pampering, not because Ben thought it was a treasonous act. When she fell in love with Yang Hao and went through all kinds of troubles to win his favor, she no longer had the majesty of her aunt. He had the ability to control his man so that he would not take a concubine, but when he took a concubine, he really should ask his wife for her opinion. Yang Hao didn't say anything about it, so she felt a little dissatisfied.
At this time, after being persuaded by Wu Wa'er, I thought to myself: "I thought he was hiding it from me, or he was fascinated by the vixen and couldn't wait to accept her, but he didn't have time to tell me. Now that I think about it, What this young master said makes sense."
Wu Wa'er felt sympathy for the vixen in Tang Yanyan's mouth. Seeing that she was silent and seemed to be moved, she persuaded her again: "It's okay for the lady to go find her husband, but after seeing him and that concubine
I think it’s foolish to think that you are in a concubine, but you shouldn’t get angry in a hurry. You have to observe carefully to see if your husband has transferred all his emotions to that concubine, or is it like I said. The lady’s character and appearance are both excellent.
, I hope your husband will not lose his love for you."
At this time, Miss Xing'er from Yebang Tanhua came in with tea. Wu Wa'er smiled and said, "Madam, please give me tea."
Tang Yanyan took the cup in his hand, but looked out of the cabin, frowned slightly and said, "This boat doesn't move very fast."
Miss Xing'er heard that she, a boat rider, was so particular, so she put the tea tray on the table and said angrily: "The water in the Bianhe River is slow, and our boat has neither a big sail nor so many oarsmen.
Rowing is naturally slower, if you are in a hurry, you can go find a fast boat."
"Xing'er is rude!" Wu Wa'er glared at her angrily, then smiled at Tang Yanyan and said, "This boat can't be too slow. Madam is going to Huaizhong, so she's not in a hurry to wait a day or two in the morning.
, since you have boarded my boat, I will not leave you alone with accommodation and food. Please come with me to Huaizhong, just to think about countermeasures along the way."
She dexterously turned the tea cup in her hand, licked her lips and blew the tea leaves in the cup, watching the rise and fall, and said with a smile: "The man's family enjoys the blessings of the whole family, with groups of wives and concubines, red flowers and green leaves, and endless blessings. It has been like this since ancient times. Then,
It became a rule. This teapot is equipped with six cups. Everyone thinks it is normal. If you insist on a teapot with only one cup, it is okay, but everyone in the world regards a pot with more than one cup.
Normally, if you want to drink a pot and a cup, it will be regarded as absurd, so what can you do?"
Although Tang Yanyan was moved in his heart, he was very unconvinced and said coldly: "You young master knows very well. You are also a man, so of course you share the same nostrils with him."
Wu Wa'er smiled and said: "Yang was born in a wealthy family and grew up with women's hands. He is used to seeing this kind of thing. It's hard to understand." (Note: Feminists don't flatter me. From Wa'er's identity and perspective,
, it can only be this kind of knowledge. In that era, even the women in the neighborhood would despise a jealous wife. Such customs and ideas have nothing to do with me. It would be unrealistic if I wrote her as a modern new woman.
.)
Wu Wa'er put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile: "A man's affection is different from that of a woman. If you are in a bad relationship, then the affection of the man's family is just this cup of tea. If she drinks it, you will not have it. Only one person can
Enjoy. If you maintain it skillfully, then his love will be like a well of water, and the lady can think about it carefully."
Tang Yanyan felt irritated and said bitterly: "In the next life, I will also be a man!"
Wu Wa'er thought of Yang Hao's various behaviors in Tokyo. He was cautious and cautious, walking on thin ice, and devoted himself to taking care of his family. Now he is running around and is still careful everywhere. He couldn't help sighing: "You only see the beauty of men, but you don't know the beauty of men."
How can the daughter’s family know about the hardships that men bear?”
Turning her beautiful eyes, she saw Tang Yanyan's bored look. Wu Wa'er suddenly smiled and said, "It's a long trip, but it's too boring. I have a card game that's very interesting. Madam, would you like to spend time together?"
Tang Yanyan was stunned and said: "What kind of leaf card? Is it a leaf card?"
Wu Wa'er smiled and said: "It's more interesting than leaf tiles. This card game is called mahjong, and the rules are pretty simple. Myolie, call Zhang Niu'er in and get my jade mahjong set."
Tang Yanyan is a card fan. She grew up in a wealthy family and is familiar with all kinds of card games. She immediately became interested when she heard it. Wu Wa'er explained the rules to her. Tang Yanyan understood it as soon as she heard it. She felt that this kind of card games The various combinations of the play are full of fun, and I can't help but be eager to try it: "This card play is really interesting. I didn't expect that there is such a fun thing in Kaifeng."
Xing'er came in carrying the mahjong box. When she heard this, she said proudly: "This kind of card game is for us..." After receiving a glare from Wu Wa'er, she changed her words: "Uh... we are in the Nanya District of Kaifeng Prefecture. Created by Mr. Yang, the envoy of the court, it was only popular in brothels and brothels at first. Nowadays, many wealthy families and ordinary people like this card game."
"Is it created by Yang Hao?" Tang Yanyan thought to himself: "The chess moves that guy taught me were very interesting. I wonder what interesting things he has come up with now?"
The boat was sailing leisurely, a stone's throw ahead, and a small boat was sailing leisurely. The young master Zhe, the young boy Wu, and the village woman Tang were in two boats, but no one noticed that they were interacting with each other. Is there any connection...
The Bianhe River transportation was originally a day and night boat trip, and it was very lively. Now that Bianjing is short of food, the old method is stepping up the transportation of food. There is an endless stream of ships on the river. There are two small boats in front of the big ship of Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao, and the flags are flying. Everywhere, all merchant ships and cargo ships sailed to the shore, waiting for the imperial ship to pass by, and then they spread out like fish on the entire river. With the giant sail and two rows of oarsmen, the journey was fast.
Murong Qiuzui and Fang Zhengnan were standing on the bow of the ship. Two of Chu Zhaofu's followers were accompanying Li Jin. Wu Gaofei was standing two or three steps away on the left. Cheng Yu, Yang Hao and Cheng Dexuan were standing on the right, each talking to himself. Talking and laughing, there is a clear distinction between each other.
Murong Qiuzui whispered something to Fang Zhengnan, then turned to look at Yang Hao and said, "Envoy Yang, you are the deputy imperial envoy. I don't know how to proceed south this time. Do you have a plan in mind?"
Yang Haodao: "All the envoys have been sent down. Chitose is patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky. He is just supervising the local government. Therefore, there is no need to have a definite place to go. You can just go all the way, stop wherever you go, and deal with various difficulties at any time." ."
"ridiculous!"
Murong Qiu smiled brightly: "If you want to be aimless for a thousand years, walking and stopping, how much time will it take? In my opinion, I will set sail and go straight to the southernmost point, then return from the end, starting from the farthest point , supervising and supervising the purchase and transportation of grain everywhere, just like building a net to coax fish, driving them with their lives, and transporting grain northward with all their heart."
Yang Hao explained: "Mr. Murong's words are wrong. Time waits for no one. If we follow the law step by step, it will still be too late. There are good and bad local officials. Some are willing to work wholeheartedly, and some can't help but prevaricate and profit from it. We are on this trip. , just prescribe the right medicine to the case, and if you deal with one area, it will have the effect of killing one and serving as a warning to others, so that one point can lead to others..."
"ignorance!"
Murong Qiuzui raised his beard and sneered: "Looking at what you did in Nanya, I know your character. Hey! It turns out that you are deliberately looking for trouble in others and trying to use cruel methods to scare chickens and monkeys. The Song Dynasty has always treated its scholars and officials favorably and never governed the country with tyranny and tyranny. If you use the method of forcibly demolishing the buildings in Bianjing to deal with the officials in Jianghuai, you will undoubtedly destroy the Great Wall."
Yang Hao was very unhappy, but knowing that he was Zhao Pu's confidant, he still patiently explained: "Mr. Murong, you must be aware that in troubled times, you must obey the authority in urgent matters. Now in Kaifeng..."
"Confused!"
Murong Qiuzui said impassionedly: "You are setting His Highness the King of Wei up for injustice. In this way, how will the officials and scholars in the world view King Wei Qiansui? You are a reckless person who does things recklessly and does not care about the benefits..."
Murong Qiu was drunk, his saliva was flying, and he was talking about many truths like a bilge river. Li Jin and Wu Gaofei, who were the third envoys, looked at the excitement, Cheng Yu and Cheng Dexuan had sullen expressions on their faces, and Cheng Dexuan asked several times.
They all came forward to argue, but were held back by Cheng Yu, leaving Yang Hao standing there with a bloody head being berated by Murong Qiu Zui.
Yang Hao finally got angry and changed his expression: "Mr. Murong, when we go south this time, His Royal Highness the King of Wei will be the imperial envoy, and Yang and the Third Chief of Staff Chu will be the deputy envoys. Mr. Murong is just an aide and can only make suggestions. Yang is young
I have little knowledge and need guidance from my husband, but I don’t need your guidance. Please respect yourself, sir!”
After Yang Hao said this, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave. Although Murong Qiuzui was not an official, as a close aide to the prime minister of the dynasty, even if any of the officials in the dynasty disrespected him, Yang Hao would not give him any respect now.
He was so angry that Murong Qiuzui's face turned blue and red. Fang Zhengnan on the side quickly tried to persuade him: "Haha, forget it, brother Qiu Zui, why should I be the same as him? Officer Bang Chui, forcibly demolishing Yang, all over Bianliang City
It's just such a one-size-fits-all meal, even Wang Xianggong has eaten his guts, please don't mind, Brother Zui."
Qiurong Qiuzui, who was behind the scenes, took advantage of the slope to get off the stage and sneered: "Ignorant boy, you don't know how high the sky is!" He also flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Cheng Yu saw the conflict between the two, and with a smile, he took Cheng Dexuan to the cabin to have a drink with Yang Hao.
When Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao got on the boat, he changed into ordinary casual clothes. Because he left in a hurry in the morning and had not eaten, he asked the dining room to prepare porridge and vegetables. After eating, he washed his face, changed into a set of soft and comfortable Taoist clothes and a pair of
Wearing soft-soled silk shoes, he left his room and went to the cabin of the old man who had been helped aboard by him, and gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" An old voice came from the door.
"The time has come, student Dezhao, come and listen to the teacher's lecture."
The door creaked open, and the white-bearded old man stood at the door. Zhao Dezhao bowed hurriedly and respectfully. The old man looked left and right outside the cabin, smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, please come in."
When Zhao Dezhao entered, the old man closed the cabin door, returned to the case and sat down. Zhao Dezhao also sat on the side seat. The old man stretched out his sleeves, glanced at him, and said: "There are many things to do when we go south this time."
Yes, Your Highness, do you still want to listen?"
Zhao Dezhao cupped his hands and said: "There is no way to delay your studies during the journey. This is the meaning of students asking their teachers to go with them."
This old man's name is Zong Jiezhou, a learned scholar who was invited by Zhao Kuangyin to teach his eldest son's studies. Zhao Dezhao respects teachers and has a close relationship with this master. Zong Jiezhou laughed, stroked his beard and said: "Your Highness
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You must read books along the way, and you should not miss any homework, but your master should not be me."
Zhao Dezhao was slightly surprised and said respectfully: "My disciple is ignorant and doesn't know what he means. Please ask my teacher for advice."
Zong Jiezhou grabbed the folding fan on the desk, unfolded it on the floor, fanned it slowly, and said slowly: "On this journey, the books your Highness wants to read are among the mountains and rivers, and the lessons you want to learn are among the human world. Your mentor is also
It’s not me, but Prime Minister Zhao, King Jin, and the three envoys. His Highness should step out of the cabin...go among them and taste and understand it, it will definitely be beneficial."
