Chapter 335 Did You Do Something Wrong
A few fishermen sat not far away talking loudly about the kidnapper's capital crime, perhaps one of them had lost a child in his family, and was especially excited, cursing loudly that the kidnapper should die, and at the end he praised the empress for her kindness.The emperor should marry such a peasant girl as his queen. Compared with those rich and noble girls like golden birds, such a queen understands the thoughts of the people better and is more willing to see the suffering of the people.

After listening for a while, Qin Rui sighed helplessly.He went to Quanzhou with the boat that day. Apart from wanting to see the different cultural scenery, he also wanted to stay away from that woman. After all, she was already married as a wife. No matter how much he admired him, it was hard to compete for a wife.What's more, she has the emperor's pampering by her side, so naturally everything goes well.As for him, a bastard who didn't even know who his parents were, he was thrown in the Dai Viet Palace for 20 years, pretending to be crazy, and finally managed to escape with his life.

But he has been hiding so far away, separated by the whole Donghao, why can't he avoid the news about her?

He stretched out his hand to take off the straw hat on his face, and turned over. Perhaps the movement was too big, causing the gossiping fishermen to turn their heads to look.

One of them laughed and said, "We're too loud, disturbing Brother Qin's sleep?"

The other also said, "The imperial court has a decree, everyone is happy, and said a few more words. Brother Qin, go back to sleep, we should go home."

Although these fishermen didn't know Qin Rui's background, he usually bought wine for everyone to eat and drink, and he had servants to serve him, so he must not be an ordinary person, so everyone spoke more politely.

Qin Rui yawned, Danfeng's eyes slanted, he waved his hands and smiled, "I slept too much, and my body is so sore. What are the old brothers talking about? Why do I listen to the word "Queen"? Could it be that the Queen's meddling in politics has angered everyone?" gone?"

"Oh, I dare not say that!" One of the old fishermen was afraid that Qin Rui would say something nasty, so he hurriedly explained, "Brother Qin, please be merciful, the empress in Beijing is a good person. The emperor just ascended the throne earlier, She wrote a letter to arrange tasks for the wounded soldiers, but she has accumulated great virtue. My natal nephew has a disabled arm, and now he is in charge of the mail route with a radius of twenty miles. Life is richer than ordinary young people, and a daughter-in-law is also beautiful and virtuous, and the family always thinks of the queen as a good person. Now the empress has discussed with the emperor and made a decree to convict the kidnapper to death. In the future, the children of the family will not have to go out to play I'm taking care of it with trepidation. This is a great kindness, and everyone is very happy."

The rest of the people also nodded, and another person echoed, "Yes, even if you don't talk about it, our Quanzhou was remote before. Last year, the empress and the Fang family first came to build a dock and build a big ship, and now they are going to the big island in the south to transport fruit and sell it. Seafood. How many people benefit from this seaside, as long as they are willing to work hard, even vegetables in the sea can be sold for a few pennies, not to mention the craftsmen in the dock. The ship’s boatmen are earning a lot of money, and everyone’s life has improved.”

Everyone was chattering, all praising the empress's merits and virtues, but Qin Rui couldn't laugh or cry, as if he was a "wicked person" who disliked the empress.

He didn't even bother to argue with the crowd, so he said, "I just made a slip of the tongue, my brother said first, I'll go back. I'll go to the city to buy half a pig's head, two jars of good wine, and make amends to my brother."

"Brother Qin is being polite, and it's getting late, hurry back!"

When everyone heard that there was wine to drink, they were all happy, and waved their hands to send Qin Rui away.In the end, I couldn't help guessing his identity, but I didn't have a clue, so I threw it to the back of my mind and continued to pack the fishing nets and other things in my hand.

The setting sun in the distance is sprinkled on the sea, and the reflected sea is sparkling and dazzlingly beautiful. Countless small fishing boats returning home are struggling to break through the waves and drive towards the shore.Xu is that the old wife of the family is setting up the food and drinks, and the children and grandchildren are standing on the courtyard wall and watching...

Qin Rui looked at the quiet courtyard not far away, the dilapidated fishing boats in front of the gate, and the smoke from the cooking in the courtyard, and couldn't help sighing.

Qin Quan came out of the stove, his face was black with smoke, and when he saw his master pushed the courtyard door in, he apologized with a wry smile, "Well, master, I'm going to drink porridge again tonight..."

He wasn't good at cooking, he really didn't have any talent, even though he was facing the stove every day these days, his cooking skills didn't improve much.Occasionally, I think of the days in Dingjiazhuang, it was like heaven, with delicious food and laughter every day...

Now only their master and servant are looking at the burnt food. No, there is also a landlord, an old fisherman who knows how to drink all day long. He didn't know what he heard outside today, so he just plunged into the room without showing his face.

Qin Rui waved his hand to signal Qin Quan not to worry, and finally went to the water tank to scoop up water to wash his feet.Qin Quan felt distressed when he saw it, and hurried forward to help, and finally persuaded cautiously, "Master, why don't we go for a walk?"

Qin Rui shook his head and said with a smile, "The Chu family are desperately refusing to take me out to sea, but I want to see what good things they can bring when they come back."

Qin Quan made a bitter face, and replied, "I heard that Miss Ding pointed out the sea route and whereabouts again. Does she really have a mountain god as her teacher? Why does she know everything?"

Qin Rui raised his eyebrows and glanced at it, Qin Quan immediately shut his mouth, the master and the servant have lived together for many years, he can guess what the master is thinking, but it is a pity that they are already married and have children.It was too late to meet, and all that was left was a sigh.

Soon, burnt white rice porridge and a stewed sea fish with unclear bones and flesh were brought to the table. Qin Quan rubbed his hands in shame, and whispered, "Master, there is a shop in the town whose sauced meat can barely be eaten, why not eat it?" I'll go and buy some back, and you take a bite."

Qin Rui really didn't have any appetite, so after thinking about it, he said, "Go ahead and buy another jug ​​of good wine."

Qin Quan hurriedly agreed, and finally ran very fast, and within a quarter of an hour, he returned with a jug of wine and a large oiled paper bag.

As a result, as soon as the meat was placed on the table, the wine jar was slammed open, and the door of the main room was also opened.

A thin old fisherman with messy hair came out, sat down at the table and filled himself a bowl of wine.

Qin Quan stared and was about to speak, but was stopped by Qin Rui.

The old fisherman took a big gulp of his drink, and finally looked at Qin Rui. His scorched eyes seemed to have gained some focus, and he raised his hand to pour him a bowl as well.The two of them just like that, they didn't talk, the wine was dry, and soon they were all drunk, and finally each hugged a pig's trotter and gnawed carelessly.

The old fisherman hiccupped and asked in a low voice, "Boy, I was drunk all day long because I did something wrong. What about you, the son of a wealthy family, you don't need money and you come to the beach to dry yourself with charcoal?" generally?"

Qin Rui played with the pig bone in his hand, and replied in a daze, "A son of a rich family? How does uncle know that I am a son of a rich family? Maybe I am the son of a farmer's family? I would rather run by the seaside from an early age and grow up Go fishing and sell money to marry a daughter-in-law, at least what is the surname of the ancestors!"

"You don't even know who your parents are? Nonsense, did you pop out of a rock?"

The old fisherman didn't believe it, so he picked up the wine jar and stuffed it into his mouth.

Qin Rui smiled bitterly, threw the bone in his hand, and replied, "I was kidnapped since I was a child, how do I know who my parents are?"

"Bah!"

As soon as he spoke, the wine jar in the old fisherman's hand shattered, and a few drops of wine spilled out of the broken jar and seeped into the sand under his feet.

"Old fish, are you drunk?"

A look of doubt flashed in Qin Rui's half-drunk eyes, and he persuaded, "Go into the room and sleep."

The fisherman named Lao Yu looked at him with extremely complicated expression, seven parts guilty and seven parts frightened.

"You were also kidnapped by kidnappers?"

Qin Rui nodded and lay back on the chair.On such a night, at such a seaside, facing such fishermen, when he was half drunk, it was rare for him to utter a few truths.

"I was abducted to Yuedu since I was a child. I thought my biological parents were from Dayue, but the more I checked, the more I found out that it was not. Maybe I am from Donghao like you. Unfortunately, 20 years have passed, and there is no way to find out. I Are you afraid that you will never know the face of your parents for the rest of your life?"

"Dayue? Donghao?" Old Yu's complexion was even paler, his old eyes were as big as bull's eyes, and he asked again with trembling lips, "You are not very old, but you are 20 years old, and your birthday is in June?"

"Hey, how did you guess it?" Qin Rui smiled miserably, "The age is right, but I don't know if the date of birth is true or not. Maybe the enemy who raised me said it casually, so it can't be true."

Lao Yu suddenly stood up and was about to go into the house, but he didn't know whether he was very drunk or frightened, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground and gnawed his mouth full of sand.

Qin Rui got up to help, but he struggled and refused, lying on the ground for a long time but said, "I have never been to Yuedu in my life, I heard that Yuedu has six city gates, isn't it?"

"Who do you listen to nonsense, there are seven city gates, because when the capital was established, the Emperor Wu practiced seven, happened to be drunk and listened to the Ministry of Industry's inquiry about the construction of the city, so he casually reported seven, so seven gates were built. a city gate."

Qin Rui simply sat cross-legged beside Lao Yu, smiled and answered a few words, and finally asked like a joke, "Old Yu, something seems wrong with you today. Did you also hear about the death penalty for kidnappers? Are you young?" Did you do something wrong back then? Come on, tell me, are you abducting a child, or selling your child?"

Old Yu's body trembled like autumn leaves, and he simply buried his face in the sand.

"No, no, I'm just drunk."

After a long while, perhaps the coolness of the sand finally woke him up a bit, so he struggled to get up, and staggered back to the house.

Qin Rui glanced at Qin Quan and nodded slightly.

Qin Quan understood, quietly followed, and stood in front of the door to listen to the movement inside. There was a faint cry, and it seemed to be a low voice, but he couldn't hear it clearly...

The night was getting darker and darker, and this night there was a full moon hanging in the night sky, illuminating the tranquility in the small courtyard.In the middle of the night, Qin Rui, who was sleeping in the East Wing, turned over suddenly, sat by the bed and watched the moonlight shining in through the window for a long while before getting up and pushing the door and going out.
