The fleet is drifting away, but there are constant storms on the Huangpu River.
I saw the inspection department's boats going back and forth, forcing passing ships to stop from time to time, and then boarding and searching them.
Of course, no one would dare to harass the Xu family's ship without opening their eyes.
"Xu, is there some big case?"
Xu Ruolin stared at the river and guessed.
The happiest person to be able to leave the humid Jiangnan and go home is Wang Siyi.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm here. No matter who the big robber is, if he dares to attack, he will be called... wow..."
Oh my god, I vomited again.
Xu Ruoxin and Wang Siyi are about the same age and have become good friends during this time. While patting Wang Siyi, he sneered.
"You're a landlubber, why do you want to protect others? Take care of yourself first."
Wang Siyi's face turned blue and her eyes were blurred.
"Hmph, as long as you get to land and give me a war horse, no one will be my opponent."
Xu Ruoxin just didn't believe it, but she wasn't sarcastic at all.
The fleet sailed out of the Huangpu River and began to swim up the Yangtze River. Not far away, there was a sudden noise in the cabin.
"Who? Come out!"
The soldiers of the guard company rushed over quickly and stood ready, forcing themselves into a dark corner.
Everyone on the boat was alerted and rushed over.
I saw a faint cry coming from the corner where the goods were piled, and then a thin figure slowly moved out.
When they came to the sun, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The Yangtze River runs like a jade belt, and this woman should wear beads on her belt.
Although he was dripping wet and very embarrassed, he could not hide the beauty of the country, which was full of elegance and elegance.
But there was one person who couldn't be happy, and that was Fu Yusun.
He glanced at the guard company with sinister eyes and shouted: "Who is responsible for guarding this ship?"
A squad leader stood up, looking downcast, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Fu Yusun's voice was cold and very scary.
"Everyone in the third class will receive a major demerit, and everyone will write a letter of apology when they return home."
He couldn't help getting angry.
Zuo Mengeng's ship was unexpectedly touched by a stranger. Fortunately, she is a thin little girl. If this were an enemy...
Fu Yusun's entire back was covered in cold sweat.
Zuo Mengeng looked at this and did not intercede for the guard squad.
To make a mistake is to make a mistake, and to make a mistake is to accept punishment. This is the rule.
Being recorded a serious demerit, and his future promotions would be affected, which made the third squad leader feel angry and had no place to vent his anger. He really hated that little girl.
"Take her away and interrogate her carefully."
It is conceivable that if the little girl falls into their hands, she will lose half of her life.
Zuo Mengeng hurriedly stepped forward.
"Go down, you don't need to take care of this matter anymore."
The guard squad had no choice but to retreat to the periphery.
But Zuo Mengeng became the focus, and everyone looked at him meaningfully. Especially Xu Ruolin's gaze is really subtle.
Zuo Mengeng suddenly realized that he had been misunderstood.
"A little girl, no need to make a fuss."
Xu Ruoxin helped her sister speak out.
"The little girl is very beautiful."
At the critical moment, it is the brothers who have to step forward.
Zhang Haogu decided to share Zuo Mengeng's worries.
"Second left, please don't disturb me. Brother, I am quite accomplished in interrogation. Just hand this girl over to me and I will make sure she has nowhere to hide."
Zuo Mengeng looked over with complicated eyes, very suspicious.
Zhang Haogu quickly patted his chest.
"Don't worry, brother, gambling and drug addiction are incompatible with each other."
Pooh!
Zuo Mengeng was too lazy to talk to him and asked in public: "Who are you? Why did you get on our ship? Those patrolmen and gangsters want to arrest you, right?"
Without the menacing soldiers, the little girl actually calmed down, didn't have stage fright at all, and spoke in a coherent manner.
"General Zuo, you are polite. My little girl, Yang Chao, has admired the general for a long time."
Good guy, the atmosphere is even weirder.
Zuo Mengeng clearly knew that he had done nothing, but he couldn't help but feel hot all over.
The most urgent task is to prove one's innocence.
"Have I seen you? I'm warning you, if you don't tell me clearly, you will die today."
The little girl raised her head, looking more and more pitiful, with a hint of Jiangnan mist.
"On that day, General Zuo and his wife got married, and the little girl attended the ceremony with her mother. In this world, men are superior to women, and there is no other man who respects, respects and loves my woman like General Zuo. Yang Chao wants nothing more than to be able to serve the general. Die without regrets."
Zuo Mengeng never expected that he would get a crush after getting married.
But what Yang Chao said made him dumbfounded.
"Since you said that I respect and love women, you should understand what you mean. And if you also say that you want to serve me, isn't it that you are looking down on yourself?"
Using his spear and attacking his shield, Yang Chao was stunned.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed your own fault.
But through her words, others heard the mystery.
Huang Zongxi looked at her and asked, "Are you from Zhangtai?"
Yang Chao lowered his head in humiliation and admitted it instead of denying it.
Seeing that Zuo Mengeng was confused, Xu Ruolin explained softly in his ear.
"Zhangtai is the brothel."
It turns out that the title "mother" was commonly used in Qinlou and Chuguan in the Ming Dynasty, and was rarely seen by ordinary people. Therefore, as soon as Yang Chao opened his mouth, his identity was recognized.
Knowing this, Zuo Mengeng quickly thought of something else.
"Did you escape?"
Yang Chao flinched, he was not a liar after all.
"That day, I witnessed the wedding of the general and his wife, and the little girl was filled with envy. She wanted nothing more in this life than to find a true love. After telling her mother, she agreed in person. But who knew that the little girl later overheard her? Then, she still wanted to sell the little girl into an official's home as a slave. The little girl was unwilling, so... she ran away. "
After saying that, she fell to her knees and begged again and again.
"I beg the general for mercy and don't send the little girl back. The old man in the Zhou Pavilion is old, but he is greedy for sex and lust. He committed himself to this person, which will ruin his life."
While others were still doing nothing, Huang Zongxi snorted: "The bitch is heartless and the actor is unrighteous. You really can't deceive me. That mother of yours is so vicious and insidious, she deserves to die."
Yang Chao was speechless, obviously not wanting to speak directly to his elders.
Li Banghua heard something else.
"Mr. Zhou Ge? Which Mr. Zhou Ge?"
Yang Chao cheered up and said, "It's Mr. Zhou Ge from Wujiang who has just returned to his hometown after serving as an official. I met this little girl a few years ago. She is very old, but she has a romantic nature and is disrespectful to her old age."
Li Banghua suddenly realized.
"Zhou Wen'an is stupid and incompetent. He invited God to serve as a member of the cabinet, but he said nothing was accomplished, and yet he behaved like this."
Zuo Mengeng also found out that this Zhou Ge was always Zhou Daodeng. At the beginning, Chongzhen held the Golden Vase lottery and took this opportunity to become the elder of the pavilion.
But this guy has no talent or ability, accomplishes nothing in his job, and never gets ahead.
Later, seeing that he was really incompetent, Chongzhen simply dismissed him, so he returned to Wujiang to live happily, and even set his sights on cardamom girls like Yang Chao.
When I think of Zhou Daodeng, he might be able to kick his legs someday. A cute little girl like Yang Chao was really spoiled if she followed him.
Even out of sympathy, Zuo Mengeng would not let such a thing happen.
"If there is enough for you to eat, just follow."
Yang Chao was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him. His face was filled with tears of happiness as he was freed from the sea of suffering.
Zuo Mengeng shook his head and didn't care. He pointed at Xu Ruolin and said: "From now on, you will follow my wife. I see you are smart. Learn more so that you can support yourself in the future."
Yang Chao was stunned and tried his best to say: "The little girl is involved in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In the future, she will serve the general and will not dare to make any mistakes."
Zuo Mengeng laughed loudly.
"What are you thinking about? I don't need a maid by my side, and neither does my wife. It is because you are literate that you can study hard with her. Remember, as a human being, you should respect yourself and love yourself. You are not anyone's vassal, nor It’s not anyone’s plaything. Work hard and live your own wonderful life.”
Yang Chao was stunned, his mind was filled with Zuo Mengeng's words.
From a young age, she has learned how to please men.
Although he is noble at heart, he is conceited and wants to live a vigorous life. But she also knows that as a daughter, in this world, she is just needlessly deceiving herself and others.
But today, there was a man she admired who treated her as an equal.
For a moment, Yang Chao seemed to see the light he had been waiting for, approaching from far to near, coming to his side.
In a daze, Xu Ruolin slowly approached and took her hand.
"Get up quickly, we don't want to kneel down here. Since he handed you over to me, from now on, you will be my disciple. You are a smart girl, study hard, and you will definitely shine in the future."
Yang Chao suddenly noticed something and couldn't help but ask: "Madam, your hair..."
When a woman gets married, she needs her hair tied. But the Xu Ruolin in front of her had waterfall-like hair, natural and natural, like a girl.
Xu Ruolin didn't think anything of it. She pointed at Zuo Mengeng and said with a smile: "He doesn't care about this. Besides, our hair grows on us, so naturally we have the final say."
Yang Chao's eyes were full of energy. He looked at Zuo Mengeng who was calm and composed, and then looked at Xu Ruolin who was free and easy and self-respecting. He was completely impressed by this couple.
