Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Ji is on the big ship.

    While serving Zhao Liben's meal, Mrs. Ye chuckled and said, "Since you miss your grandson, why don't you just call him on the boat to see him?"

    "You want to be troublesome?!" Zhao Liben's face sank and he said displeasedly: "I said that in order to temper them, you have to make them suffer more. If we meet like this, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"

    "Yes, what you are saying is the kindness of a concubine." Ms. Ye was reprimanded but said happily: "They are able to go through such hardships, it is really a blessing from their previous life."

    "I don't expect them to be successful. As long as they know that life is not easy, they will have achieved their goal." Zhao Liben stood up, looked at the small cargo ship upstream with his hands behind his back, and said with a pleased smile: "Lao Er's house  This kid is something I never expected."

    "Yes, the young master is really a genius. He can actually make this 'frost turns into snow' out of thin air."

    Ye stood up quickly, walked behind Zhao Lipen, put a brocade cloak on him, then took out an exquisite small porcelain cup from his sleeve and said, "Why haven't you heard from your Excellency that he has this ability before?"  ?¡±

    "Humph, Guangxing, you have a good granddaughter, so why don't I have a powerful grandson?" Zhao Liben raised his head slightly and said proudly: "In the past, there was an old man, who was like a sword in a box. Who could recognize my grandson Fengrui?"  ? Now that his Qingfeng is unsheathed, he will eventually bring light to Jiuzhou!"

    "You are truly worthy of your lord, even the grandson he gave birth to is so outstanding!" Mrs. Ye looked at Zhao Liben with confusion on her face for a long time. Then she remembered something and said: "By the way, I haven't reported it to you yet. I just received the news that he had an affair with a man the day before yesterday.  With the army, the former censor Zhao Jin recognized Zong and took him home."

    "Eh" Zhao Liben, who always had a majestic image in front of this woman, showed a look of surprise when he heard this and said, "How could this kid think of this?"

    "Sir, is it inappropriate for the young master to do this?" Ye's expression tightened when he heard this, and he made a faint scratch on his neck with his palm, and said softly: "Do you want to take advantage of the young master to go out and take advantage of that Zhao Jin"

    "Bullshit!" Zhao Liben shook his head categorically and said, "My grandson's move is a stroke of genius! Your Wu Ji has eyes and ears all over the two capitals. Even the imperial court is about to revolt, and the officials who were convicted for their speeches in the previous dynasty don't even know? You still have  Worse than a child!"

    "Yes, I am too short-sighted" Mrs. Ye lowered her head in shame and said, "I have been paying attention to the adults these days, and I have indeed been negligent."

    "Alas" Zhao Liben then gently put his arm around Ye's shoulders, reached out to lift her chin, and said sternly: "What did I teach you back then? A woman is in charge and cannot bow her head."

    "I will never forget you for a moment."

    Ye looked at Zhao Liben with moist eyes, happily nestled in his arms and said, "I only bow my head for you"

    "Oh, what a bad fate" Zhao Liben shook his head and asked helplessly: "Did you not completely forget what I told you?"

    "How could it be? That person surnamed Zhou dared to add insult to injury and break off the engagement to humiliate you. I wish I could skin him!" Ye raised her eyebrows and said in a hateful voice: "My identity was found out, and he is actually the same person as Shao Fang.  The charlatans got together, and even secretly hooked up with a famous Qinhuai prostitute. Report these things to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I'm sure he won't be able to bear the consequences."

    "These are just trivial matters, and they cannot bring down a fourth-grade official." Zhao Liben shook his head and thought with some self-pity, if it weren't for Gao Suqing, how could I have suffered a mere loss?

    Seeing the gloomy expression on the Lord's face, Ye knew that he was secretly feeling sad again.

    After Zhao Liben resigned from office, he had been in a bad mood, so Ye always accompanied him on his sightseeing tours.  For two months, the two of them took a boat down the Yangtze River and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.  It's a pity that Zhao Liben still couldn't show off his face even if he couldn't get out of this tone.

    After thinking for a moment, Zhao Liben said in a deep voice: "Please pass all the collected information to my dear grandson. He may be able to use it."

    "Yes, sir." Ye naturally agreed.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao never expected that his grandfather, who should have been suffering from poverty in his hometown, would actually take a big boat with Wu Ji's mistress and enjoy themselves on the river. They were so happy!

    He finished the entire second crop of shad with great satisfaction, and felt that it was no big deal to spend the night on the boat.

    In fact, it was no big deal. The water in Chunjiang was warm at this time, and Zhao Hao brought his own bedding.  At night, I wrapped my head in a thick quilt and huddled up in the cabin sheltered from the wind, listening to the sound of the river water lapping against the side of the ship, and fell asleep soon after.

    By the time he was woken up by Gao Wu, the cargo ship had already docked.

    Zhao Hao climbed out of the cabin and stood on the deck to stretch.

    The sun is shining brightly outside the cabin and there are no clouds in the sky.

    Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes,After getting used to the sunlight, I saw that the sky was empty and blue.  The rapeseed flowers blooming on both sides are as golden as brocade, and there are flocks of chickens and ducks foraging among them.

    A few native dogs lying lazily on the pier started barking at strangers, attracting nearby villagers.

    "Hey, isn't this Boss Tang? I haven't seen him for many years!" The villagers actually knew Fatty Tang and hurriedly helped to tie up the boat.

    Boss Tang knew that Zhao Hao was suspicious, so he hurriedly explained with a smile: "When I was an apprentice, I followed the master to work as a vegetable oil collector. It has been thirty years."

    "Oh." Zhao Hao nodded, thinking to himself, am I that scary?  Then he turned around and told Yu Peng: "Don't leave the dock, everyone. Just you and Brother Gao come with me."

    Yu Peng also knew that he did not do his job well this time. He was afraid that the richest man in Caijiaxiang would have objections to him, so he was naturally more careful at this moment and hurriedly followed the order.

    ¡°This country ferry doesn¡¯t even have a step to get off the boat.  Tang Youde jumped directly from the boat to the shore.

    He staggered and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, he was supported by a villager.

    "Hey, I've been sitting on the boat for too long, and I can't stand still." Boss Tang smiled awkwardly.

    "Have you gained weight?" The villager patted his bulging belly and said with a smile: "There is little rain this year and the rapeseed has just bloomed. I'm afraid Boss Tang's trip was in vain."

    "I'm not here to collect oil." Boss Tang slapped the villager's hand away. He is now also the owner of a "century-old shop" with "semicolons all over Jinling", so naturally he doesn't want to get involved with the mud-legged man anymore.

    "Then you are?" The villagers, regardless of their appearance, still smiled and joked: "Coming from Nanjing to see the rapeseed flowers?"

    "I'm here to collect silk." Tang Youde said calmly.

    "Huh?" Several villagers were stunned when they heard this, and asked in disbelief: "What you said is true, do you really want to collect silk?"

    "Yes, go and tell the people at the Silk Club, I want as much as I want!" Tang Youde said gruffly.

    "Why don't you go and tell the head of the society that a distinguished guest is coming to collect silk threads!" The villagers immediately exploded.

    Some people ran eastward, others ran westward, and each returned to the village to report the news.  Someone else grabbed Tang Youde's arm on the spot and tried to drag him to his village.

    Tang Youde let several villagers talk here and there, and he was almost quartered by five horses.

    "Let me go. If anyone dares to lay a finger on me again, I'll turn around and get on the boat. I don't want a single thread!"

    Tang Youde roared angrily, not to mention it really worked.  The villagers immediately let go of their hands and wanted to help him smooth out his wrinkled robe.

    "Go away" Tang Youde gave an angry kick and stood at the dock and said, "I'm not going anywhere. Let the leaders of your villages come to see me."

    "Oh, good" The villagers, fearing to offend him, hurriedly stood aside from a distance, but no one was willing to really leave.  Lest he be taken away from another village.

    "This is a pier shared by several nearby villages, so people from all villages have it." Tang Youde originally wanted to show off in front of Zhao Hao, but if the crowd of mud-legged people were tossing their legs like this, how could they be pretentious?  He straightened his jade-inlaid black silk Liuhe hat that was crooked, and said to Zhao Hao with a wry smile: "The news has almost spread to all the villages now, and the leader of their silk society will come to beg us soon."

    Zhao Hao saw that as expected, it was a buyer's market for raw silk, so he nodded and felt relieved.
