(I just came back, I will start first for full attendance, I will modify it later)
…
Of course, a hundred years later, these things will still have to be handed over to the big house and have nothing to do with He Hongwen's lineage.
And the eldest uncle of the He family had no objection to this either.
Although, according to the established rules, the eldest son should occupy 90% of the family property, so the eldest uncle of the He family actually suffered a bit, but he didn't care.
After all, as an elder, he felt pity for his nephew. What's more, this matter was decided by Mr. He and Mrs. He. As a son, he couldn't object even if he wanted to.
Unless he wants to be accused of "unfilial piety"!
However, the eldest uncle of the He family is an official. How can he not care about reputation when he is an official?
If there was an uproar over the separation of the family, it would not only make the He family a joke to outsiders, but even his own official career would definitely be affected.
Although he is reasonable, it doesn't sound good to tell people. It is easy for people to think that he is too lonely, values money more than family, and should not be deeply friends!
Therefore, the eldest uncle of the He family will accept this result in terms of emotion and reason, and in terms of others and himself.
Then again, the young and old of the He family came to Youyang this time. In addition to being invited to be guests of the Sheng family, they also wanted to take the waterway to Beijing with Mrs. Sheng and her family.
And this involves the current situation.
Because the official family is getting older, the battle for heirs in the court has become more and more serious.
Among them, especially the popular candidates, the battle between King Yong and King Yan is even more fierce!
However, let’s not mention those matters in the court for the time being, but the battle for the right to inherit the throne has really affected the lives of the people.
As for the Han River, as the two kings competed, the local yamen became somewhat lax, which led to wars and water bandits.
Especially on the waterway leading to the capital, it is even more uneven.
On top of it, bandits often appear, such as the Cao Gang, the Boat Gang, the Yulong Gang... These gangs are basically underworld during the day and act as robbers at night, specializing in major areas along the Han River, causing the situation to become even more chaotic.
It is precisely because this section of the road is so confusing and chaotic that the He family and the others are worried about their safety and want to rely on the strength of the Sheng family to survive safely.
As for the reason why the He family did not choose to take the land route, as mentioned before, the old man was too old to walk.
Taking a boat is more suitable for them and beneficial to their physical and mental health.
Speaking of which, this old lady Sheng is the daughter of Marquis Yongyi. Although she has fallen out with Marquis Yongyi, she still has some capable guards of the Marquis around her, who were left by the old Marquis Yongyi to protect his daughter. means.
For example, Sheng Changquan's martial arts enlightenment master, Mr. Xu Erxu, stayed in the Sheng family for this reason.
Therefore, in terms of safety, the Sheng family is much stronger and safer than the He family.
…
After that day.
After Mrs. Sheng finished dealing with the second bedroom's affairs at her hometown, she met with Sheng Yun in private and talked with her in the house for most of the day.
However, Minglan and others did not know what the two of them said. They only knew that judging from the expressions of the two of them afterwards, there seemed to be no change, and it was still the scene that should be seen between relatives.
A few days later, under the reluctant eyes of everyone in Dongfu, Mrs. Sheng and the others finally bid farewell to their relatives and boarded a big boat bound for Bianjing City.
now.
On the pier of Youyang, there are two large boats that are not much different, both of them are in the style of painted boats.
Both of these two painted boats are more than ten feet long, and are divided into three floors: upper and lower. One part of the bottom floor is hollowed out for storage, while the other part is used to make some mechanical tools for the painted boats to facilitate the movement and maintenance of the boats. Wait for the task.
The middle floor has the largest area and the most separated rooms. It is used for the daily life of boatmen and servants.
After all, there are quite a few of them, and they still need enough space to accommodate them.
As for the top floor, there are only two or three independent small rooms above the stern, while there is a pavilion at the bow.
This pavilion has upturned eaves and corners, is exquisite, but has the shape of a four-cornered pavilion. It stands on the bow of the ship. On it, the beauty's back, floating cloud pillars, colorful paintings... are all clearly visible.
Especially the auspicious cloud reliefs on the pillars are layered one on top of another, layer by layer, making the whole ship luxurious and classic.
After everyone came up, the boatmen slowly raised the sails and used the wind to move the boat.
However, because they were afraid that everyone who had just boarded the boat would not be used to the bumps in the water, the boat did not dare to drive too fast. It just walked slowly upstream of the Han River like an old man, so that everyone could gradually become familiar with the waterway. , by the way, let them see the elegance of the Han River.
At this time, the Minglan siblings, Xiaotao, and Danju were standing under the three-story four-corner pavilion of the painted boat, looking into the distance and feeling the beautiful scenery of the water and the sky between the sky and the earth.
"So beautiful!"
Looking at everything in front of her, Minglan not only murmured quietly in her mouth.
"Well, it's so beautiful!"
Danju beside Minglan also sighed.
Not only Ming Lan and Dan Ju, but even Xiao Tao, who has never had any artistic talent, suddenly appeared behind everyone and exclaimed!
"Girl, this place is indeed extraordinary!"
"Um?"
"Unusual?"
Thinking that Xiao Tao, who usually only remembers eating and drinking, had such a reaction, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Sister Xiao Tao, what are you talking about that is unusual?"
Although Xiao Tao once told Sheng Changquan not to call her sister, just call her by her name Xiao Tao, just like he calls Cuiming and others.
However, the relationship between Xiao Tao and Ming Lan is indeed very different. For Sheng Changquan, she is also somewhat different from Cuiming and others. After all, he could be regarded as being delivered by Xiao Tao back then.
Therefore, Xiao Tao is equivalent to Sheng Changquan's other sister. He treats her and she treats him differently from others.
"Gulu!"
Xiao Tao did not answer Sheng Changquan's question immediately. Instead, she swallowed her saliva first, and then said with difficulty: "Brother Quan, did you see it?"
"there!"
"That's it!"
Xiaotao stretched out her finger, pointed to a piece of water not far in front of the bow, and shouted loudly: "There is a white carp there!"
"Where's the Han River white carp!"
"..."
Xiaotao is immersed in her own world and can't extricate herself!
After hearing Xiao Tao's words, Sheng Changquan, Ming Lan, and Dan Ju suddenly had black lines all over their heads. They felt that Xiao Tao was still the same Xiao Tao and had not changed at all.
By the way, there is a lyric that goes like this - "I am still the same boy, without any change..."
At this moment, Sheng Changquan Wei wanted to give it to Xiao Tao: "You are still the same greedy girl, without any change..."
While the three of them were secretly reflecting on how they could imagine Xiao Tao to be so mature, they also turned to look in the direction Xiao Tao was pointing.
The Hanjiang white carp presented by He Hongwen was not actually cooked as he said and made into a medicinal diet. Instead, Minglan cooked it himself and made it into a pot of carp that was fragrant, smooth, delicious and tempting. Soup.
Although the medicated diet was not made according to the method mentioned by He Hongwen, so that part of the nutritional value could not be brought out, the fish soup made by Minglan's kitchen was also excellent.
She transformed these nutrients into taste, which can be regarded as a moment of excellence and not falling behind.
Even Mrs. He couldn't help but praise Minglan after drinking the fish soup, thinking that Minglan's skill was really amazing.
In the words of Mrs. He, that is - "Even if there is no medicinal effect in this fish soup, it is still worth it! There is no way, who told me to like this!"
By the way, in addition to the several masters and guests at home, as the most proud people around Minglan, Dan Ju and Xiao Tao naturally also tasted the carp soup.
However, it is precisely because they tasted such a delicious food that they have never forgotten it.
Especially Xiaotao, she was even more greedy, almost to the point of being hungry!
In fact, if she hadn't really had time to come to the Han River, I'm afraid she would have caught a few of them herself, and then asked Minglan to help her drink this bowl of fish soup.
Of course, Xiao Tao obviously forgot one thing, that is, she didn't know how to swim at all, let alone how to catch fish.
"Plop!"
really!
As the sound of falling waves sounded, Sheng Changquan could see the white carp leaping from time to time on the river in the distance.
“Haha, it’s really a white carp from the Han River!”
Sheng Changquan affirmed to Xiao Tao happily.
To be honest, Sheng Changquan's vision was not comparable to Xiao Tao's. Moreover, there were some things that Xiao Tao didn't know, but he understood.
The white carp in the Han River are not all Han River white carp. The so-called "Han River white carp" actually refers to those white carps that have lived in the deep waters of the Han River since childhood, rather than those that grew up in other waters. white carp.
It was precisely because of this that Sheng Changquan was a little happy when he saw those white carps.
"Brother Quan, let's go over there quickly and catch some Hanjiang white carp, shall we?"
Xiao Tao's eyes seemed to have a light that was incomprehensible.
"hehe!"
Sheng Changquan was speechless, but turned his head to Minglan and asked: "Sister, if that's the case, let's just go over there and try it!"
"By the way, let's see if we can catch some white carp?"
As for Sheng Changquan's suggestion, Minglan did not intend to refuse. After all, everyone had just boarded the boat, and for a while, they could not control their excitement. Therefore, Minglan simply prepared to follow her brother. "Go crazy!"
"OK!"
Minglan smiled and agreed.
"ah!"
"Very good!"
"Then let's go quickly!"
Upon hearing Minglan's promise, Xiao Tao immediately ran over happily, hugged her and prepared to walk to the deck with the fish.
However, at this moment, a gentle voice sounded.
"Sixth sister, what are you doing?"
…
(I just came back, I will start first for full attendance, I will modify it later)
…
No one looked back, but they all already guessed who this person was.
Without him, the one who could come here must be He Hongwen.
After all, apart from him, no one else could go to the third deck.
really!
When Minglan and others stopped and looked back at the visitor, what caught their eyes was He Hongwen with a smile on his face.
"Sixth sister, seventh brother, what are you doing?"
Because the two families are family friends, and in the past few days, He Hongwen had had many interactions with the Minglan siblings. Therefore, at this time, He Hongwen had become quite close to Sheng Changquan and the others verbally. Despite the distance, both parties refer to each other as brothers and sisters.
"Minglan has met brother Hongwen!"
Minglan bent down and gave He Hongwen a blessing, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Brother Hongwen, we are going to go fishing on the deck over there!"
Sheng Changquan took a step forward calmly and covered Minglan behind him. Then he smiled leisurely at He Hongwen and explained slowly: "Because we just saw that there happened to be Yue Hongwen." I passed a few Hanjiang white carps, so I was wondering if I could catch a few fish so that the old lady and the others could have a taste."
"Huh? Really?"
He Hongwen didn't notice Sheng Changquan's little move, but thought that the other party did it unintentionally. Therefore, after feeling slightly disappointed in his heart, he didn't take it seriously.
"In that case, can I go with you?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on He Hongwen's face, and he said rather helplessly: "However, I'm afraid my craftsmanship is not very good, and I rarely catch fish in the past!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter!"
Sheng Changquan did not refuse He Hongwen's request unkindly.
After all, although he was a little dissatisfied with He Hongwen's "wolfish ambition", Sheng Changquan would not act haphazardly.
Not to mention the friendship between the two families, He Hongwen's character is quite good. For this reason, he will not go too far.
"If Brother Hongwen is interested in coming, that would be great!"
After all, He Hongwen was a foreigner, so at this moment, the one talking and communicating with He Hongwen was naturally Sheng Changquan himself.
"Actually, no one in our group has this skill!"
Sheng Changquan comforted He Hongwen with a smile and continued: "We are just here for the first time. We want to get familiar with the life on the ship and want to kill time!"
"Brother Hongwen, don't worry too much!"
"Ah? Really?"
Hearing this, He Hongwen's expression slowly relaxed.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
He Hongwen smiled softly, as if he had finally let go of some of his worries.
