Early in the morning, Princess Lin'an woke up quietly, her body was warm and she stretched her waist comfortably, and her feet "kangdang" onto the legs of the table.
She opened her bewildered eyes blankly and saw the pale sky. At this time, the sun had not yet risen.
Mounting is like a hangover in a nightclub. My eyes change from confused to confused, wondering if I have read it wrong, and why I see not the beautiful bed curtains but the dawn sky.
There was a somewhat delicate "um" and a small moan.
The scenes from last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. She remembered it, and at night she had a boating and chatting with Xu Ning in the pool.
Xu has never had such an experience before, and she agreed to Xiao Tong Gong's proposal in one bite. For a princess who has not been out of the cabinet, such a bold behavior can be enough to ruin her reputation.
Later, she may have drunk some wine, she relaxed her vigilance more and more, according to his words, the ghost lay down on the ship board.
When I saw the sky full of stars, the whole heart was drunk, and my mind only had the artistic conception of "I don't know the sky is on the water after drunk, and the boat is full of clear dreams pressing the galaxy".
infatuated and drunk.
did not want to get up again, and fell into a deep sleep by the alcohol.
So warm, even in the midwinter season, sleeping on the boat, she did not feel cold, but there was a kind of warmth that returned to her mother.
But now I'm not in the mood to pay attention to this, she sat up in panic and found that she was covered with a brocade quilt. She subconsciously wanted to open it, and then paused. Tensedly, she touched her body in the quilt to make sure that she was in good condition. The body has no adverse reactions.
For example, the pain of breaking gua is often said in books.
Mounting took a sigh of relief, looking around, seeing the court lady standing by the shore, and changing from the hangover nightclub to the dignified Lin'an princess.
She called to the guard who was waiting on the shore, asked him to jump on the awning boat, help row to the shore, and asked casually: "When did Master Xu leave?"
"Leave before dawn." The court lady replied quietly.
Lin'an nodded in a daze, remembering the warm feeling yesterday. After careful comparison, he found that it was not brought by the bedding, and asked sternly:
"What did he do wrong last night?"
"Some and some."
With dark circles under her eyes, the palace maid who hadn't slept for a whole night took the opportunity to complain: "She is a thin princess."
"Huh?" Lin'an looked terrified.
"He has been holding the princess's hand." The maid said bitterly: "Before leaving this morning, she took a picture of the servant's...butt, threatening me not to tell the princess."
is so excessive? Lin'an Liu's eyebrows are erect, there is a kind of shame of misunderstanding.
"Second princess..." The guard stopped talking.
"Hesitating." Lin'an gave him an unhappy look.
"It's freezing cold. The princess sleeps on the boat. A bedding alone cannot withstand the severe cold." The guard explained:
"The humble post saw clearly last night, Master Xu stayed up all night, holding the princess's hand, he was crossing the aerator for you and dispelling the cold."
Crossing the aspirator.... I didn’t sleep all night... The mounting was stunned, remembering that I did sleep well last night, and said suspiciously:
"Why haven't my palace heard of this kind of thing, and no one has sent air machines to the palace."
"This..." The guard smiled bitterly: "It takes energy to cross the aspirator for a night, and who can hold it. Unless it is a middle-rank martial artist, or a high-rank martial artist.
"Furthermore, the princess does not need to be like this."
Biao Biao bit his lip, and tentatively said: "How tired?"
The guard replied: "Change to a humble position and die early on exhaustion."
Her watery peach blossom eyes suddenly rippled, soft and soft.
"Xu, when Mr. Xu left, he seemed...a tired face." The maid recalled, "Why didn't he let the slave and maid say it."
Lin'an did not answer this question, and suddenly walked out: "He is leaving Beijing for Yunzhou this morning. When is the time now, this palace is going to send him..."
I don't know why, she made an inexplicable wave in her heart, just wanting to see that dog minion.
"His Royal Highness, it's already over..." The maid chased her: "Besides, how can a princess send a gong, and it will be bad for you and him."
This sentence made the wayward Lin'an pause.
As far as I am concerned, at most I would be scolded by my father... But if it is my fame, he is a little gong, he must be smashed... Lin'an glanced at the palace maids and guards, round oval face Rarely reveals the majesty of heaven:
"It's about the reputation of this palace. What happened last night must not be passed on, otherwise it will be killed by a stick."
"Yes."
......
The journey from Beijing to Yunzhou is far away. In order to save time, this imperial delegation to Yunzhou chose to go by water instead of dry roads.
The official ship chopped through the waves, and the sails were strongly inspired.
Xu Qi'an stood on the deck, facing the wind blowing from the river, boats of all sizes sailed on the river. There are both official ships and merchant ships.
"You look bad and you are overworked." Jiang Luzhong came to the deck, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looked sideways at Xu Qi'an, and chuckled lightly.
"Went to Jiaofang Division yesterday?"
"...hmmm." Xu Qi'an was speechless.
He did go to Jiaofangsi, and had a pre-parting exchange with Fuxiang. But the reason for the real fatigue is that I was squeezed out of energy by mounting, but this kind of thing cannot be said.
"Look at you, you are still too young, with shallow eye sockets." Jiang Luzhong was holding the guardrail with both hands, an old driver's smile:
"Yunzhou also has a Jiaofang Division. The Jiangnan woman has a soft body and a soft voice, which is different from the Beijing woman. I will take you back to experience the experience."
"It's different." Xu Qi'an shook his head.
"Are you an infatuated person?" Jiang Luzhong was surprised.
This has nothing to do with infatuation, it has something to do with white prostitution... Xu Qi'an said solemnly: "Unless Jiang Jinluo treats you."
"What?" Jiang Luzhong was taken aback.
"You treat, it will be the same." Xu Qi'an looked serious.
Jiang Luzhong thought for a while, and pointed to the river surface: "What do you think of the water here?"
Xu Qi'an took the opportunity to overlook the river, and answered honestly: "Not very good, dirty."
Jiang Luzhong nodded: "It's fine if you know."
Xu Qi'an: "..."
After a while, Jiang Luzhong said, "Go down the canal and reach Qingzhou. We have to change to land. After a ten-year walk of land, we will almost reach Yunzhou."
"Master Jiang, tell me this secret route is wrong." Xu Qi'an said.
"It doesn't matter, with your talent, it will be a golden gong sooner or later." Jiang Luzhong smiled indifferently.
Friend is a friend, if you give me a flag, I will be angry... Xu Qi'an smiled back: "Thanks for granted, um, why change the dry road?"
"It's land." Jiang Luzhong corrected, and then explained: "Although Qingzhou is adjacent to Yunzhou, there is no connecting canal between the two states. If you want to go by water, you have to bypass the sandbank next door. It's better to go by land faster. "
In the previous dynasty, the Daxing waterway was used, the canal was dug, and two Grand Canals running through the north and south and east and west were built respectively. Among them, there are countless tributaries, and only the developed water transportation of Dafeng is now available. Qingzhou and Yunzhou are not connected by a canal?
"There is no waterway?" Xu Qi'an expressed doubts.
"It was originally there. Yunzhou and Qingzhou were connected by a tributary, but more than ten years ago, the river suddenly changed its course." Jiang Luzhong explained.
Changed course... Xu Qi'an nodded slowly.
Water conservancy projects have always been a headache for the court since ancient times, flooding from time to time, and changing routes from time to time. Even in previous lives, the floods still caused headaches. It's okay for this man to change his course, at most he has passed his bowels. Once the river is diverted, it will endanger thousands of miles and the people will suffer.
At this time, a black smoke rose in front of him. Xu Qi'an tried his best to look into the distance and found that a small boat was docked on the shore, and several people were burning goods.
"What's the matter? Why do you want to burn the goods?" Xu Qi'an said solemnly.
His first reaction was that someone did evil and destroyed the goods of the merchant.
Jiang Luzhong took a few glances and suddenly said, "In this case, the merchant does not plan to pass the customs and burns the goods and prepares to return."
"I will be in the capital soon, why is it like this?" Xu Qi'an didn't understand.
"Oh, the imperial court has set up a lot of checks on the canal, and every time you pass it, you will pay a tax. When you hand it over, many merchants will find that even at the destination, the money they earn is not enough to pay the tax. So simply burn the cargo and return to the voyage, because if you are carrying the cargo, you will have to pay the tax again when you return to the voyage. You don’t need an empty ship.
Jiang Lizhong said with emotion:
"It is common to burn goods along the river."
"Eating is so ugly." Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.
"There is even more ugly, because small businesses cannot afford the tariffs on water transportation, and they can only rely on the water transportation chambers of commerce. Those chambers of commerce will swallow the goods at a low price and sell them at a high price. Just take the saltpeter you took over in Taikang County. For example, the local ash households quarried and burned ash, and the capital could not eat such a large amount, so they could only be transported to various states for sale, but the tariffs were so heavy that they could not afford it.
"The Chamber of Commerce took the opportunity to purchase lime at a low price and transported it through its own channels. The gray households could only get 10% or even less profit. Reluctantly.
"The interests involved in this are unimaginable, even Wei Gong is worried."
Xu Qi'an was silent.
He thought of another thing. Emperor Yuan Jing practiced Taoism and made alchemy, which cost a lot of money. The money was not taken from the household department, but was provided by his own small vault.
Then, how can Emperor Yuan Jing have so much silver for him to throw coins like crazy?
He didn't ask this question, and went back to the cabin to regain his energy. Near noon, I was hungry and hungry.
I got out of the room and heard lively talks on the deck. It turned out that many plump river fishes came from the boatman's net and sprinkled on the deck, jumping alive.
Take the lead by Jiang Luzhong, Song Tingfeng and 20 other gongs join in the fun, glad to have fresh fish soup at noon.
The governor who led the team this time frowned.
He is the Yudu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a senior official of the fourth grade. In the Dafeng officialdom, the governor is usually held by Yushi and has great power.
The Duchayuan is controlled by Wei Yuan. Daqingyi also has an official title called Zuodu Yushi, the second grade.
This Yushi, who can be said to be his own, has been seasick all morning~EbookFREE.me~ dizzy and rested, being awakened by the group of martial artists, he is very unhappy.
"Pick some of the fattest river fish stew for the governor." Jiang Luzhong smiled.
With goat's whiskers, the elegant governor waved his hand, frowning: "The smell of river fish is too strong, and the official has no appetite."
After refusing Jiang Luzhong's kindness, he glanced at the gongs displeasedly, "Be quiet, yelling, how decent you are."
After finished speaking, he returned to the cabin with annoyance.
"Tsk, the scholar's bones are weak, so I can't stand it." A gong ridiculed, and Jiang Luzhong glared at him.
There is fresh fish soup to drink...just to add some chicken essence to taste...the hungry Xu Qi'an is full of longing for lunch.
......
PS: Thanks to the leader of "Lian Yan Wu Ye", and I will add more for you later. Well, 26 leaders, I have returned to the 20th.
There are six more chapters and it’s OK. As for the change of the Silver League, I calculated it, I started to add changes to the leader from the 11th. From the 1st to the 11th, I wrote a total of 33 chapters. Excluding the two daily chapters, there are 11 more chapters.
