fool from heaven

"Ma'am, I also want to eat a spicy shrimp." A Ling raised his red wet eyes and looked at Mrs. Man.

Mrs. Man frowned: "It's so spicy, why do you want to eat it?"

"But it's really delicious."

Mrs. Man thought that when she returned to Chuzhou, she would not be able to eat it, so she could just rely on him.

Here, Ah Jin took a look, and then stretched out her small hand to pat Mrs. Man: "Mom, I want it too."

Mrs. Man: "..."

The discussion over there was still going on, and Mrs. Man was bored, so she followed suit.

"...Don't you know, my brothers and I came from Suizhou Prefecture. Our home is in Lijia Town, not far from Chenxian County. I heard that Mr. Wen launched the Wenji Grain Store to transfer the food from the village last year. All the food has been taken out, half donated and half sold, and the price is much cheaper than usual."

"Not only that, Wen Ji also donated 5 taels of silver, 5 taels!"

"Hey, good guy, in addition to food and money, he also bought a lot of medicinal materials, sewed a lot of winter clothes in his embroidery workshop, and donated a lot of tents. Mr. Wen also led many wealthy businessmen to donate money. In short, this Mr. Wen is a very kind person!"

"You can see that the Rong family's business is also booming, but it's just to get in the way of the name of the imperial merchant, so they made a symbolic donation, but it's not as good as Mr. Wen's righteousness."

A Ling buried her head in eating the prawns while crying.

Mrs. Man glanced at him several times, but didn't say much.When the child was delivered to her, he must have been four years old.At that time, she felt that the child was strange.

Apart from looking at Ah Jin, who was still a baby at that time, all day long, he just walked around the yard. □□I don’t know how many times I have sewed it for him.

Later, I stopped walking and started climbing trees again.Don't look at this child's thinness, those radish legs are quite strong.

At first the child didn't like to eat, and Mrs. Man tried her best, but later found out that the child preferred to eat shrimp.As long as it is shrimp, no matter how it is cooked, he can eat a whole plate.

Seeing that his lips were swollen from the heat, he still didn't put down the shrimp in his hand, and wiped his tears while grilling the shrimp. I don't know, I thought he was being bullied.

Mrs. Man smiled and said, "If you really like to eat, I'll ask the shopkeeper later to see if I can buy a cook back."

A Ling nodded wildly.

"...In that case, Mr. Wen is really a philanthropist."

"No, we passed by Chenzhou, and heard that Mr. Wen is going to open an embroidery shop in Chenzhou. The merchants in Chenzhou are all boiling, scrambling to do business with Mr. Wen."

Ah Ling's tears flowed even more fiercely.

----

"My lord, our Rong family also contributed a lot to this disaster relief, but this reputation is all taken by Mr. Wen. You have been infamy for so many years, and Xiao Wu is really worthless for you."

On the official road back to Suizhou from Chuzhou, Rong Xiaowu was driving the carriage, muttering non-stop.

Holding a book, Rong Qi flipped through the pages casually, and said, "For the sake of the world, what is this kind of infamy? Merit and demerit, it's not something that can be settled by just a moment's criticism."

"But the rumors outside are not good. They also say that the young master deliberately harmed him in order to compete with the fool."

"The more vicious the rumor, the more reassured others will be. But..."

Rong Qi put down the book in her hand, raised the curtain and looked out the window.After the first snowfall, the air is extraordinarily fresh.

"But what?" Rong Xiaowu turned around and asked.

"Han Yijiang is too reassuring about Chuzhou. Don't you think this is a little abnormal?"

"There is a son in Chuzhou, and a master in the capital, so he has nothing to worry about. Once the son makes a mistake, the master will not be safe. Besides, he may wish for chaos in the north. Isn't his purpose just to make the world chaotic."

"If you really want the north to be in complete chaos, you will definitely not go to rescue Chuzhou, although we paid for the money. But after all, it bears the name of the imperial court." Rong Qi said.

Rong Xiaowu scratched his head: "Xiao Wu doesn't know anymore, anyway, that person is a lunatic, how can we normal people guess what a lunatic thinks."

"Madman..." Rong Qi chuckled, "He is indeed a lunatic."

Chenzhou Dayue Port.

It was Wen Yan's first time on a boat.

This is a merchant ship going from Dayue Port to Fufengkou.

Wen Yan was seasick and vomited all kinds of meat and eight vegetables.

"Coming from Chen County, I didn't stop all the way, and didn't take a good rest, so I went to deal with the business in Chenzhou. I wanted to ask someone to escort you back to Fengyu County, but who knew that the young wife of the Pei family wanted to see you. After such a toss, I'm going to lose weight again." Qin Li frowned, massaging Wen Yan's acupuncture points to relieve the symptoms of seasickness.

Wen Yan said weakly: "I didn't know that I would get seasick. Hey, anyway, I am like this. I can't gain weight or lose weight."

Qin Li smiled and said, "It's better to be fatter, to have a touch."

Wen Yan didn't even have the strength to beat him, so he rolled his eyes.

"I think that one of the forces that abducted Wen Lang and the others back then must have come from Jiangzhou. Although no useful clues were found afterwards. But in the past few years, people have often been watching me in the dark, ready to Sneak attack. It’s just that those people are too tyrannical, and every time their plans fail, they commit suicide by swallowing poison.”

"After a few years, there must be 800 to [-] people who died. I really don't understand who is behind this and how much hatred they have with me. Such behavior is no different from a lunatic!"

Qin Li sympathized with Wen Yan, and said: "Madam Pei Shao's request to see you this time may be related to the events of that year. However, we still don't know what this person's intentions are, and we will act with caution at that time."

In the evening, Wen Yan felt much refreshed, so he followed Qin Li to the deck for a while.The mighty river rises and falls, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, the waves are magnificent.

Wen Yan had been pent up in the cabin for two days, and now he was breathing the cool evening breeze, which relieved the boredom in his chest and made him feel extremely comfortable.

The territory of Great Chu is bounded by the Li River, dividing the north and the south.The Lijiang River is huge, and at the same time, it runs through the two major water systems of the Minjiang River and the Jiahe River, and connects the three major economic cities of Jinzhou, Luozhou and Huizhou, which has very important economic significance.

At the same time, Dayue Port and Fufeng Port, as the two major ports connecting Chenzhou and Jiangzhou, also have very important strategic significance.

There are many water systems in Dachu, and correspondingly, there are also many water bandits rampant.Therefore, there are water army guards in several important water systems.The members of the guards are all well-educated men recruited from various villages and towns. Although they are not as regular as the border guards, they are still a force that should not be underestimated.

However, the recent generations of emperors in Dachu had no grand plans and ambitions, and only cared about consolidating their imperial power.Coupled with the prevalence of government corruption in various places, the sergeants of the guards could not even pay their military salaries.In order to survive, he had no choice but to collude with the government, collude with pirates, and engage in private affairs, which the court repeatedly prohibited.

The most serious of them is Beihai. The Beihai Navy Guards have fornicated the barbarians and acted boldly. Because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one can control them.If it weren't for the people from Hopeful Sea Village, Beihai might have become the home of the barbarians.

On the Lijiang River, the most powerful force is undoubtedly the Jiangzhou Navy.

The commander-in-chief of the Jiangzhou Navy is named Zhang Da. This person acts in a low-key manner, does not participate in any party disputes, and only obeys orders from the imperial court.At the age of 42, he served as the commander of the Jiangzhou Navy for 13 years.

"A neutral faction, in Jiangzhou, where aristocratic families gather together, has survived many storms in the imperial court, and can still hold the position of navy commander. This Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary person." Qin Li looked at the vast sky and sighed. .

Wen Yan pinched his waist with both hands, raised his chin, and sneered: "It doesn't matter what ghosts and monsters, but if he meets our famous General Tianbao, he will definitely regret being reincarnated in this world."

Qin Li looked at Wen Yan in a daze. The experience of the past few years had made Wen Yan settle down a lot.However, he was very fortunate that in front of him, Yan Yan was still the same Yan Yan, weak, arrogant, and fond of blowing hair.

He was even more fortunate that he met Yanyan, so that after he woke up, he would not be dazzled by hatred.

"Speak."

"Ok?"

"Squeaky."

"..."

Late at night, the small fishing village was unusually quiet, with only a crescent moon hanging in mid-air.

In the dark shadows outside the courtyard wall, stood two men.

One of them was in his twenties, and the other was a young man of thirteen or fourteen.

"Young master, my subordinates found out today that the merchant ship that the master is on will arrive at Fufengkou Wharf in the day after tomorrow. Do we want...to contact the master."

Qingshi looked at the thin young man with gloomy eyes, and felt a slight pain in his heart.

When the incident happened, he tried his best to rescue Wen Lang. He was seriously injured and fell into the river. Fortunately, he was rescued.

Afterwards, he inquired about the news, and learned that except for Young Master Wen Yu, the other three young masters of the Wen family were all missing, and their lives and deaths were unknown.Knowing that he didn't protect the young master well, Qingshi felt guilty, and wandered alone in the rivers and lakes, looking for the traces of the young masters.

A month ago, when he traveled to Jiangzhou City, he heard someone mention Li County's special ingot shrimp by chance. His heart was moved and he rushed to Li County. He only smelled the smell at the door of the shop, and he knew that the shrimp must be from the young master. hand.

As a guard, Qingshi has always been cautious.Under the secret investigation, it was found that the young master was imprisoned and could not escape.It took a long time to figure it out before I seized the opportunity to meet the Eldest Young Master.

At that first glance, his whole heart seemed to be poured with hot oil. The young master Mingming who once aspired to be the best chef in the world turned into such a gloomy young man today.

Looking at the attitude of the Zhou family and thinking with their toes, they all know what kind of life the young master has lived these years.Qingshi wished he could rush into Zhou's house and light the sky lanterns for that wolf-hearted family.

"Master..."

Wen Lang remained silent for a long time, and Qingshi carefully reminded him.

"Qingshi, I heard that you contacted Qin Da that day. It seems that Uncle Bao has something urgent to find someone from the Gao family in Jiangzhou."

Qingshi nodded: "I don't know the specifics, I only know that Shengyuantang, which has always been hostile to us, has been active in Li County. The Fan family in Li County is the natal family of Aunt Fan in Gaofu. Aunt Fan is in charge of my son's affairs, it seems that Shengyuantang is going to join Aunt Fan's line."

"Qingshi, don't tell Second Uncle that you found me just yet." When Wen Lang spoke, his hands behind his back kept shaking.

"Why?"

Wen Lang frowned: "No reason, you just follow orders, and also, keep an eye on Fan's family."

As the young master's personal entourage, obeying orders is the basic principle.When he first found the young master, he wanted to send a message to the master, but was stopped by the young master.Now the master is about to arrive in Li County, yet the eldest young master has not yet met the master, this is too weird.

Looking at the young man's eyes that suddenly became dark, Qingshi's heart skipped a beat: "Eldest Young Master, what are you going to do?"

Wen Lang's black eyes looked directly at Qingshi: "I want to take the Fan family..." He paused every word, and said through gritted teeth: "Connect, root, pull, up!"
