Nightwatcher Chapter 178: Leaving Beijing
Early in the morning, Princess Lin'an woke up quietly, her body was warm and she stretched her waist comfortably, and her feet slammed on the legs of the table.
She opened her misty 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, why I see not the beautiful bed curtains, but the dawn sky.
There was a somewhat delicate "um" and a small moan.
The scenes of last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, she remembered, and at night she and Xu Ning feasted on a boating pond, drinking and chatting.
Xu has never had such an experience before, and she agreed to Xiaotong Gong’s proposal in one go. 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 became more relaxed and vigilant, and according to his words, the ghost lay down on the board.
After seeing the sky full of stars, the whole heart is drunk, and there is only the artistic conception of "I don't know the sky is on the water after drunk, and the boat is full of clear dreams and the galaxy".
is crazy and drunk.
didn't want to get up again, and fell into a deep sleep by drinking.
is so warm, even in the midwinter season, sleeping on the boat, she did not feel cold, but there was a kind of warmth returning to the mother's body.
But now I’m not in the mood to pay attention to this. She sat up in a panic and found that she was covered with a brocade quilt. She subconsciously wanted to open it, then paused, and nervously touched her body in the quilt to confirm The clothes are intact, and the body has no adverse reactions.
Such as the pain of breaking gua often mentioned in the book.
Mounting took a sigh of relief, looking around, seeing the court lady standing by the shore, and changing from the nightclub after the hangover to the dignified Lin'an Princess.
She called 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 of yesterday. After careful comparison, I 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 maid who hadn’t slept all 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, and a bedding alone cannot withstand the cold." The guard explained:
"The humble post saw clearly last night, Master Xu stayed up all night, holding the princess's hand, is crossing the aerator for you and dispelling the cold."
Crossing the aspirator.... I didn’t sleep all night... The mounting was stunned, thinking that I did sleep well last night, suspiciously:
"Why haven't my palace heard of this kind of thing, and no one has sent air to the palace."
"This..." The guard smiled bitterly: "The aspiration machine is spent all night, consumes energy, who can hold it. Unless it is a middle-rank martial artist, or a high-rank martial artist.
"Furthermore, the princess is beautiful, she doesn't need this."
Mounting bites his lip, and tentatively said: "How tired?"
The guard replied: "Change to a humble position and die early on exhaustion."
Her watery peach eyes suddenly rippled, soft and soft.
"Xu, when Mr. Xu left, it seemed...a tired face." The maid recalled, "Why didn't he let the slave and maid speak."
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, she wanted to see the dog minion very much.
"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 Linan stop.
As far as I am concerned, at most I was scolded by the emperor.... But if it’s my fame, his little gong must be overwhelmed... Lin'an glanced at the maids and guards. The rounded goose-egg 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 with a stick."
"Yes."
......
The journey from Beijing to Yunzhou is a long way. In order to save time, this imperial delegation to Yunzhou chose to use water instead of dry roads.
The official ship chopped through the waves, and the sails were invigorated.
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 Lizhong came to the deck, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looked at Xu Qi'an sideways, and chuckled.
"Went to Jiaofang Division yesterday?"
"...um." 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 held 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 a lover?" Jiang Luzhong asked in surprise.
This has nothing to do with infatuation, it has something to do with the white prostitute...Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "Unless Jiang Jinluo treats you."
"What?" Jiang Luzhong was taken aback.
"You treat, it's 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 Lizhong nodded: "It's fine if you know."
Xu Qi'an: "..."
After a while, Jiang Luzhong said: "Along the canal south to Qingzhou, we have to change to land. After a ten-year walk by 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.
Friends are friends, you plant me a flag and I'm just as angry... Xu Qi'an smiled: "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 use the waterway, you have to bypass the sandbank next door instead of land. Come quickly."
In the previous period, the Daxing waterway was used to excavate the canals, 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?
"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 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 in 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: "Generally, in this situation, 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. After handing it over, many businesses will find that even if they reach the destination, they will not earn enough money by selling goods. Pay tax. So simply burn the goods and return to the voyage, because if you carry the goods, you will have to pay the tax again when you return to the voyage. Empty ships don’t need it." Jiang Lizhong said with emotion:
"It is common to burn goods along the river."
"Eating is so ugly." Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.
"It’s even more ugly, because small businesses can’t afford the tariffs on water transportation and 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. Take you once in Taikang County. For example, the saltpeter mines in the past, the local ash households quarried and burned the ash, and the capital could not eat such a large amount, so they could only be transported to the states for sale, but the tariff was 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 benefits involved are unimaginable, and even Wei Gong is worried."
Xu Qi'an was silent.
He thought of another thing. Emperor Yuanjing 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?
He didn't ask the question, he went back to the cabin and regained his energy. Near noon, I was hungry and hungry.
went out of the room and heard lively talks on the deck. It turned out that there were many plump river fish on the boater’s net, sprinkled on the deck, jumping around.
Leaded by Jiang Luzhong, Song Tingfeng and 20 other gongs joined in the fun, delighted 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. He is a fourth-rank official. In the Dafeng officialdom, the governor is usually held by Yushi and has great power.
The Duchayuan is controlled by Wei Yuan, and Daqingyi also has an official title called Zuodu Yushi, the second grade.
This yushi, who can be said to be his own person, has been seasick all morning~IndoMTL.com~ dizzy and resting, being awakened by this 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 rejecting 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 anxiously.
"Tsk, the scholar's bones are weak, so I can't stand it." Jiang Luzhong glared at a gong teasing.
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.
......
