The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 160 Waterway
"You remind her, let her be less careful. After all, the Wen family is the founding hero. Even if the descendants are disgraced and downcast, they will not allow her to be bullied by a little girl."

Lu Ningya saluted and said yes. Thinking back to the time when Lu Ningxin fought with her every day in the Zhipu county government, now that she has won and can marry Wen Yan, why is she not happy again?

As for her, she is now the famous concubine Ya in Ming Dynasty, the changes in this world are really funny.

An Xu and the others boarded the big boat that had been prepared long ago outside the capital. She still remembered that the second concubine had something to take along, so she ordered the boat to stop for a while, but no one came.

Zong Che looked at the bustling pier with his hands behind his back, and said to An Xu: "Let's go, it seems that the things from the Second Prince's family will not be delivered in the capital."

At noon, the boat sailed to Fusong Port, which is only more than 100 miles away from the capital, and it can be counted as within the scope of Gyeonggi. Ships of all sizes docked at the port and came in, and it was quite prosperous.

Zong Che didn't let the boat take the main river, but deviated from the main river to a small river more than ten feet wide.

The two sides of the bank are covered with all kinds of country weeds. Their boat is relatively large, and the dense flowers and plants on both sides of the bank will be brushed when passing by. The rustling sound can be heard even in the cabin.

She opened the small window, sat under the window, leaned on the window with her arms pillowed, sniffing the fragrance of grass and trees that came in with the wind, and fell asleep.

The most blazing sunshine in June and July seems to be covered with a layer of cool cover here, and the sunlight covering the water surface through layers of green leaves is also cool.

The withered and fallen leaves that were knocked off by the bow of the boat floated along the two sides, some of them were rotten, but they did not have a decadent and beautiful feeling.

Feeling hot behind him, An Xu turned his head to meet Zong Che's gaze.

During the boat trip, the gentle and cool sunlight hit Zong Che's face, his eyes were like soft water, clear and soft, and fell on An Xu's slightly pink lips.

Zong Che lowered his head and tried a little bit on her lips, like a superficial touch, and occasionally licked her lips lightly with the tip of his tongue.

An Xu felt itchy from his lips to his heart, and stretched out his hands to wrap around the back of his neck and regained the initiative.

The sound of intimate kisses was intertwined with the rustling of the boat. After a while, An Xu smiled and avoided his continued pursuit.

Zong Che sat down beside her, looked out of the window together around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "It should be interesting to have a turnaround here."

I know that if you take this path, it is not so simple.

Looking at the passing scenery outside, An Xu thought to himself that this place is really suitable for dating, and it is really easy to confuse people's hearts.

"How did you find out here?"

Zong Che stretched out his long arms and grabbed a handful of small light blue trumpets from outside.

This is the morning glory. While picking it up, he twisted his fingers flexibly, and said lightly: "I went to Beijing three years ago, and I took a small boat in the country, and this is where I left."

At that time, sitting in the cabin where time seemed to have settled down, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, he thought about her until his heart was dry.

Rushing away, he was not without worries and fears, but he was afraid that when they met again, she would already be "full of green trees and full of branches".

Every day, this kind of inexplicable fear would arise in his heart at an occasional moment.

Fortunately, all of this is still under his control.

"Didn't I give you several hundred taels of silver?" An Xu asked, "Why do you still take the boat?"

When the man went out, she repeatedly told him not to live in a small country shop, or to take a small boat that could only carry one or two guests.

Nowadays, when people go out, there is a high chance of encountering black shops and black boats.

Zong Che smiled, put a garland of morning glory flowers on An Xu's head, then stood up and brought a bright glass mirror to show her.

"How is your husband's craftsmanship?"

The face of the person in the mirror was still full of anger, his lips were ruddy, and it seemed that his eyes were full of anger. Zong Che looked at the person in the mirror from behind her, and whispered with his ear in his mouth: "Xu'er, you Don't always seduce me inappropriately."

An Xu clenched his fist and punched her back, but missed, Zong Che grabbed her wrist, kissed her five fingers, turned her around, his legs squeezed her both Sitting on him with legs tied behind his waist.

"What do you want to do?" An Xu struggled.

Zong Che smiled and said, "Nothing. You didn't sleep at noon, so I'll take a nap with you in my arms."

An Xu thought in his heart that if he could fall asleep, I'll take your last name.

While the two were arguing, the ship suddenly shook slightly.

"My lord," a guard came to the door to ask for instructions, "the Dai family's boat is ahead."

Behind layers of curtains and bead curtains, An Xu quickly got up from Zong Che and sat down.

Looking out of the window, I found that the boat had already passed the quiet small channel and reached the wide main channel.

"The Dai family is waiting for me here?" Zong Che said, stood up, brushed aside layers of curtains, and walked to the front deck.

Sure enough, a huge boat with pavilions much bigger than theirs was parked in front, occupying almost half of the river.

The Dai family is really rich and powerful.

"Lord Zong, I have been waiting here for a long time." A man walked to the stern from the side. He was wearing a general's armor, eight feet tall and handsome.

This is the eldest son of the Dai family, Dai Ji, who was 27 at the time. At this time a year ago, he was still in the southwest to quell the chaos of the barbarians.

The Dai family is one of the few families of military generals that has been passed down to this day. Their life-saving talisman is to be loyal to the emperor all their lives.

Zong Che was not surprised at this undetermined adjutant who had just met today.

In today's court, Emperor Shuntai can use it with confidence, except for those courtiers who follow him in everything, there are only loyal people like the Dai family.

"Lord Dai, I seldom meet, please take care of me in the future." Zong Che bowed his fist, and gave a salute that seemed to be welcoming.

Dai Ji returned the salute with a smile, and said, "Lord Zong's ship is too slow, why not take our ship instead."

Zong Che refused with a smile: "No need, it's very inconvenient to bring a female relative."

Dai Ji said: "What's the matter, I also have female relatives on board, and they can still talk when they get together."

Zong Che figured it out with his toes, it was impossible for Dai Ji to take his regular wife with him when he went out of Beijing, the rules in the capital, the husband went out, and the wife stayed at home to guard the door.

He took Xu'er with him to the post, and two days ago, the censor used to say something about him, saying that he was not filial.

I don't believe that this person surnamed Dai doesn't know that the female family member he is talking about is a regular wife, and she is not a woman with several concubines. What is there to talk about?
Zong Che sneered, Emperor Shuntai gave Dai Ji a lot of confidence to control him.

"No need." He said again.

Dai Ji, dressed in a reckless manner, laughed and said: "Why are you polite, you literati sometimes have too many things."

Before the words were finished, a woman ran over from behind clutching her collar. When she saw Dai Ji, she rushed over and knelt down, hugged his leg, and cried, "Master, I don't want to drink with the third master."

Dai Ji lost his face in an instant, he called the woman up in a low voice, before he had time to laugh at Zong Che, he fisted and left.

The Dai family's boat was in front, but its speed slowed down. Zong Che looked at the channel ahead, and ordered the rudder: "Speed ​​up, and pass from the side."

When Dai Ji was still reprimanding his younger brother in the cabin, he saw a boat speeding past next door.

Dai Lun said: "I don't want to go to the north, brother, let me go back."

"Go back, why go back?" Dai Ji patted this little boy on the head, pointing to the stern of the boat, "Look at that Zong Che, he is about the same age as you, I have been in the officialdom for many years, this Don't you feel ashamed that you have to beat him every time?"

"What are you ashamed of?" Dai Lun didn't care at all, "He's just a moment of glory, no one can see it! If he marries a noble family, maybe he can be turned around. Now, I'm afraid that the northern border will be leveled, and he will be of no use. gone."

Dai Ji looked at his younger brother's unscrupulous appearance, and hated that iron could not become steel.

If he can, then it is useless, the emperor will send himself to go too?

Zong Che's boat overtook Dai's boat and maintained a relatively steady speed.

Until the evening, in the afterglow of the red river reflected on the river, the boat docked and stopped.

An Xu sat on the boat for a whole day, and was so depressed that he disembarked with partridge and Daoxiang as soon as the boat stopped.

This is a river with no back and forth, and there are no villages in sight.

The Dai family's boat stopped behind, and Dai Ji stood at the bow and asked, "Lord Zong, there is a market town and port two or three miles away, why don't we stop there?"

Zong Che had already disembarked with An Xu, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dai, I like the field scenery. If you are not used to it, you can go ahead."

Dai Ji: - - -
Dai Ji asked: "There is no shop in front of the village or back. What do you eat and drink?"

Zong Che shook his head, asking me too?I still have to ask Xuer.

Dai Lun didn't want to stay in this barren mountain and wild place, and shouted for the rudder to steer the boat. Dai Ji came up, kicked his calf, and said in a low voice: "Mother is not here, so don't make trouble, otherwise, I will throw you directly into the river." inside."

Dai Lun immediately became honest. Since he was a child, he was afraid that this elder brother would be better than his father, so he could only secretly scold Zong Che and his wife in front of him.

Riding the sunset, a carriage ran on a country road, and finally drove into a village with walls outside.

After entering the village, there are greetings all the way.

"Chong'er is back, Xu'er is really the official wife now?"

"Boy of the Zong family, oh no, what an official is Mr. Zong now!"

"Will no one be able to bully the business in our village in the future."

An Chong, uncle, and uncle returned home in these dialects. At this time, the house they lived in had already changed into a grand and majestic new style like other houses in the village.

If it weren't for the imperial court's regulations on housing, the entire Linhe Village would now be flying tiles and carvings.

An Chong didn't go back to his home first, it happened to be meal time, so his aunt asked him to have dinner at home before going back.

In fact, after his sister came to the capital, his aunt and sister-in-law had repeatedly advised him to live with them, saying that it would be more appropriate.

But he is still not used to "living under the fence", even though his aunt's family is really good to him now, he also wants to live a comfortable life at home.

But at first, he still thought that after August, he would go to the capital to live with his sister after finishing the provincial examination. Now that his sister and brother-in-law have gone to the north, even if he goes to the capital three years later, he will still be alone.

When An Ao's wife saw An Chong come back, she was a little unhappy, and brought out a basket of white apricots the size of peaches from the kitchen, "The big white apricots in the garden are fruiting. There is less rain this year, and it is very sweet. Try it."

"My sister loves this the most." An Chong looked at the white apricots in the basket, and said, "I don't know where my sister and the others are now, can they be in time to send a basket of intact ones?"

An Ao's wife: There is no other brother-in-law who loves his sister so much.

"Anyway, our family and Fang's business often have to go to the Huitong River in the north, and they will come to collect the canned food tomorrow, just ask them to bring a basket." On the side, An Ao answered.
