The most unlucky crossing in history

The night wind of Maojiang carried the faint salty smell of the sea. Zhong Qiyun's voice fell for a long time, and he never heard the answer from the other person in the same room. He was not in a hurry, and only looked at Xie Wenyuan's eyes with some novelty through the dim light This rare surprise.

"Words?" After an unknown amount of time, Xie Wenyuan spoke slowly.

Zhong Qiyun nodded, "Yes."

"Are you serious?"

"Naturally serious."

Xie Wenyuan saw that he didn't appear to be cheating at all. Thinking about it, this person probably didn't know the rules of naming names at all.

He looked at Zhong Qiyun, and said helplessly: "Do you know that I have rules in choosing characters in Daqing Dynasty? In Daqing men's [-] crowns, you are over [-] now. If you want to choose characters, there is no problem. It's just that men's characters must be given by the elders after reaching the crown, and people with high status, such as Tianhuang nobles, can get their own characters, but they can't let their friends get them anyway."

Therefore, Xie Wenyuan was a little surprised to hear Zhong Qiyun's request all of a sudden. Speaking of it, this should be the most absurd request Xie Wenyuan has ever heard.

"what?"

Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun meaningfully, and said again: "Brother Zhong, don't you know?"

This rule of naming and prefixing characters is like the rules of weddings and funerals in the Daqing Dynasty. It should be common sense for all adults, but Zhong Qiyun doesn't know...

Zhong Qiyun shook his head, and then laughed nonchalantly, "Actually, I don't think it is necessary to stick to these rules. Now that I have no relatives and elders around me, and I am not in the emperor's house, if I follow the rules, I will never be able to live up to them in this life." word?"

Xie Wenyuan smiled: "Elder, elder, not only the elders, if the world recognizes the elder, you can let him be named."

"But I don't know any venerables, and to put it bluntly, I have to recognize the venerables recognized by the world? I don't stick to these," Zhong Qiyun stared at Xie Wenyuan, and said, "It's up to me Among the people I know, I respect and respect Brother Xie for his knowledge, courage, character, etc. I can’t think of anyone else except you, and there is no one else.” Zhong Qiyun smiled when he said this, “I’m afraid of thanking you. Brother is not happy."

If Zhong Qiyun's words were flattering, it was indeed very good and very comforting.But Xie Wenyuan understood that what Zhong Qiyun said must be his sincere thoughts.

I can think of no one but you, and no one else...

Xie Wenyuan and Zhong Qiyun looked at each other, and then sighed after a while: "Brother Zhong, if you both

Don't mind, I'm not unhappy. "

Zhong Qiyun grinned, stood up and bowed to Xie Wenyuan: "Then I will have to worry about it, Brother Xie."

Seeing Zhong Qiyun being so polite and polite, Xie Wenyuan felt a little amused, and nodded, "Choosing words is a small thing, but it's not a small thing. I can't be in a hurry. I can't think of the most suitable method for a while... Just let me think about it."

Zhong Qiyun said cheerfully, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll wait for a day or two, and I'll wait for ten years."

"It won't take that long."

After solving one matter, Zhong Qiyun was quite happy in his heart, and asked again: "Speaking of which, has Brother Xie ever given someone a name or a name?"

"Never." Picking a name is something that only the closest relatives can do. He is not too old, so naturally he has never done it.

"So, I'm still the first?" Zhong Qiyun said cheerfully, "It seems that this is my honor."

Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows. "Are you not afraid that I will give you a vulgar word?"

"I think Brother Xie's taste should be a few grades higher than mine. I'm not afraid of vulgarity, but I'm afraid that Brother Xie himself won't be able to accept that word."

"Brother Zhong thinks highly of me." Xie Wenyuan looked at Zhong Qiyun with a hint of cunning in his eyes, "Since that's the case, why don't you just choose a word like Yazhong or Ercai?"

"Hey, hey, don't," Zhong Qiyun hurriedly stopped, "I'm wrong, I take back what I just said, and I beg you to thank me for your troubles."

"nature."

"Speaking of which, who took Brother Xie's character?"

"An old lady in the court has already retired and returned home."

"That....."

"Brother Zhong." Xie Wenyuan interrupted Zhong Qiyun who was about to talk endlessly.

"Ah? What?"

"It's getting late, you should go back and have a good rest, and you have to sail early tomorrow."

Xie Wenyuan chased people away, and Zhong Qiyun suddenly remembered that he would sail tomorrow. He still had one thing to tell Liu Wangcai in advance, and he couldn't delay the business, so he hurriedly stood up: "Yes, brother Xie is right, and You chatted so excitedly that you forgot the time."

Zhong Qiyun was never sloppy in knowing the seriousness of the matter in the sea trip, so he said goodbye to Xie Wenyuan and left without further delay.

Looking at the person who left in a hurry, he shook his head, then asked Xiaoer to fetch water to wash, turned off the lights and rested.

In the best Tianzi No. [-] room on the third floor of the inn, Tan Yuanjin's secret guard knelt in front of Tan Yuanjin on one knee, and described everything he saw and heard today to Tan Yuanjin.

"You mean, Zhong Qiyun was only leading Xie Wen today?

Yuan eating, drinking and playing around? "

"Yes, my lord."

"That's all the conversation you heard? Nothing else."

"No."

Tan Yuanjin frowned, Xie Wenyuan was familiar with Zhong Qiyun, he had known for a long time, from the very beginning, he had been followed by the dark guards secretly, and was afraid that Xie Wenyuan would use some tricks secretly, but it seemed that he hadn't found anything in the past few days , which is really puzzling.

"Then who did they meet today, and what did they talk about?"

"I met the young master of the Zhang family and Master Linghu." The secret guard told Tan Yuanjin in detail what the few people talked about, and then said: "When the two of them met Master Linghu, they were on the street. I didn’t dare to get close, I didn’t hear everything, I only heard Master Linghu say by accident that there seems to be a spy in the Prince’s house, which caused the Prince to be seriously ill.”

Tan Yuanjin squinted his eyes. When the prince was seriously ill recently, someone sent news to Wei Hechao last night when he was washing. Not shallow?

Few people don't know about the fact that the young master of the Zhang family loves masculinity and lives a chaotic life... Tan Yuanjin suddenly remembered what his subordinates had reported, that Zhong Qiyun sacrificed his life to save Xie Wenyuan in the Hu residence. .....

Tan Yuanjin frowned, could it be that these two...

But as far as he knew, Xie Wenyuan wasn't very masculine...and this time, the incompleteness was also a ruse deliberately set by Xie Wenyuan.

But no matter what the facts are, Xie Wenyuan and Zhong Qiyun still have to be careful.

"Okay, go down, follow Xie Wenyuan carefully, don't let him find out."

"Yes!"

Xie Wenyuan said that he asked Zhong Qiyun to rest, but Zhong Qiyun didn't rest all night.It was only dawn the next day, and the three huge treasure ships and six big ships were already ready. Although several of the people on the ship this time were rich and wealthy, the ancients had a good concept of time. At the end of the month and the beginning of the voyage, when the hour came, everyone boarded the ship, just waiting to untie the cable and lift the anchor to raise the sail.

At the beginning of Mao, after confirming that the goods and personnel were in place again, and that the repairs to the hull were completed correctly, Zhong Qiyun gave an order, and the fleet sailed out of the port in an orderly manner, and entered the wide Qiongyang. Go south with the wind and the current.

It's winter now, but after leaving Maojiang, the weather has become hotter and hotter.

The sun is shining brightly, the blue sky without any clouds is vast and calm, and the sky and water are the same color, which is magnificent and extraordinary.

Occasionally, two sand gulls flew by and landed on the mast. They lowered their heads and looked at the boatmen who had been busy for a long time before resting on the deck and the unbearable heat and enthusiasm.

irritable people.

Zhong Qiyun and his subordinates have long been accustomed to the humidity and heat at sea. Zhong Qiyun is particular about everything. On the second day away from Qiongzhou Island, he tied his hair up high like the boatman, took off his robe and brocade, and changed into the same short shorts as the boatman. sleeved shirt.

But the adults and sons on the other treasure ship couldn't stand it anymore.

"What kind of day is this? It's approaching deep winter, why is it so hot, even more sweltering than that summer day!" Pei Yan lives in a wealthy family, and although the summer heat in Jincheng is hot, the sweat on his body is easily blown by the wind. When it is dry, even when it is very hot, he will take out the ice cubes hidden in winter from the ice cellar at home to cool down the heat, and the sea is not only amazingly hot, but also very humid. His body is wet and hot day and night, how could he Can you stand it?

Under the bright sun, he was even more irritable and irritable, and he couldn't dress like the boatman. He could only wear a long robe and get angry. When is the head?!" He hadn't had a good night's sleep for two or three days. "It's hot in the room, and the deck boards are scalding, how can we survive?! There's not enough water, and I can't take a shower every day. How do you live!"

"Young master, young master, don't be angry, the more angry you are, the hotter you will be." The servant was also sweating profusely, pulling his collar and screaming, and he couldn't stop fanning Pei Yan with a fan in one hand. "I just asked Xiao Jia to ask, and he said that Boss Zhong said...that this is just the beginning..."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yan became even more furious, and slapped the servant, "The beginning?! Is this just the beginning?!"

"Young master, calm down, sit still and don't move, the more you move, the hotter it will be. Xiao Jia also said that Boss Zhong ordered the kitchen to boil mung bean soup and bring it over when it cools off."

Hearing the mung bean soup, Pei Yan calmed down a bit, sat down and gasped for breath, and hummed: "Since there are mung beans, why didn't you take them out a few days earlier? Why don't you want them?"

"This..." The servant couldn't answer, and could only fan his young master with a flattering smile, so as not to be beaten again.

Of course Zhong Qiyun knew that Pei Yan and Tan Yuanjin couldn't take it anymore, but Pei Yan's temper was so hot that he made a fuss, and Tan Yuanjin didn't say anything because he cared about the prince's face.These people are very particular, and they still abide by the "etiquette and shame" of literati, and they are disheveled like boatmen. , the one over there is even more impossible, Zhong Qiyun can understand it.

Simply wait for them to be bored for a few days, and the anger has been blown, and send mung beans

Only when the soup is there will you know how grateful you are.After all, cooking mung bean soup costs too much firewood and cooking too often, and the wood prepared on board cannot afford to be consumed.

In fact, Zhong Qiyun planned to take out the mung bean soup in two days...but how did he know that Xie Wenyuan didn't like the heat very much.

Zhong Qiyun knew that although this person was born in Jingzhao, he practiced martial arts when he was young, and he had followed General Xie Cheng to the Gobi border and Shendu, so he should be able to endure it for a few days, but he never thought that Xie Wenyuan could indeed bear it. Nothing was said, and the life on board continued as usual.If it wasn't for the approach of the two ships this morning, when Zhong Qiyun saw Xie Wenyuan's blushing face from a distance, he would have thought that this person was really fine.

At that time, Zhong Qiyun hurriedly called the kitchen to prepare mung beans and soup.

At night, when the sun was just setting and there was only a faint twilight in the sky, several large pots of cold mung bean soup were distributed out.

Zhong Qiyun stopped by Xie Wenyuan's room while carrying a toolbox for a routine ship inspection.

Seeing Xie Wenyuan sitting in front of the window facing the sea with no one on the other side, staring at Yu Hui in a daze, Zhong Qiyun quietly looked at the quiet people in the afterglow for a while, then called him after a while, and when someone looked over, he walked in After leaving the house, he closed the door and the window facing the aisle.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you think it's hot in such a tight place?"

Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan with a smile, "I brought you something good." Carrying the tool box, he walked to Xie Wenyuan's side, then put the box on the small table by the window, and opened the box.

Xie Wenyuan looked down and was stunned for a moment, "Sorbet? Where did you get it?" A thick bowl of smoothie was covered with syrup made from oranges, and there was a bowl of mung beans with ice cubes on the side Soup.

Looking at it is very cool.

The vast sea, scorching sun, where did Zhong Qiyun get the ice?

"Master Xie, have you forgotten that I am the owner of the fleet? Although the money earned this year is not as good as those of the five great families, it is considered rich now. How can you treat yourself badly if you have money and become a boss? ?”

As soon as Zhong Qiyun said this, Xie Wenyuan knew that this person must have brought ice onto the boat. The weather has not completely melted, so I am afraid that some boat is full of ice. ?

"You packed ice in Maojiang?"

"Master Xie is clever. On the night you asked me to go back early, I went to the ice cellar of Brother Zhu's house. It was wrapped in countless quilts and made many layers of heat insulation."

As Zhong Qiyun said, he brought the smoothie to Xie Wenyuan, "Try it quickly, the orange marmalade is made by me with honey oranges.

Made it, and there's a lot of jam, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. "

Xie Wenyuan looked at the smoothie in Zhong Qiyun's hand, and said slowly: "The second prince..."

"I don't have much ice, so I won't send it over there."
