Tongzhou, the end of the Grand Canal, is the place where ships from the south dock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tongzhou wharf is mostly post stations, inns, boats from the south, and merchant ships dock at the wharf.

Two boats from the south docked at the Tongzhou wharf.

"Mrs. Qiyu, let's go to Tongzhou." Two soldiers outside the passenger ship spoke into the cabin.

The curtain opened in the cabin, but I saw a woman walking out of the passenger boat, supported by two personal maids. It's not that this woman is weak, it's just that the boats come and go on the dock, and it is common for several ships to collide with each other, so she will fall into the water without beware of touching it.

The water of the canal rises and falls, and the hull of the boat sways slightly with the waves.

The woman asked the two soldiers, "How long will this Tongzhou be under the capital division?" ”

The soldiers ran the ropes to the shore, and the coolies at their own docks tied the boats.

The soldier wiped his sweat and said, "Mrs. Lao asked, it's not far, it's only a half-day dry road, if you take a carriage, it's faster." ”

"Half a day is coming? Madame, it's not like you'll be able to see the master right away. The two maids couldn't help but jump for joy.

Another soldier said: "Yes, that being said, but we have been walking for five months, and it is not bad for a while, this day is about to change, I am afraid it is going to rain heavily, Madame might as well stay at the post station for a day, and then go to the master's mansion tomorrow." ”

The woman frowned slightly, but when she raised her head and looked at the sky, it was indeed cloudy, and she did look like a little wind and rain were coming.

The woman nodded and said, "It's okay, then settle down at the post station first, and there will be two big brothers along the way." ”

The two soldiers smiled together and said: "Where is it, Ling Xianggong is the champion today, and it is our blessing that the two of us can escort our wife all the way north." The lord of the clan repeatedly advised. asked me to wait for the good student to escort my wife to Jingshi to see the champion Yuanlang, and we were also relieved to see that it was done. ”

The woman couldn't help but smile when she heard the two soldiers praise him.

This woman is Lin Qianqian, who has traveled thousands of miles from Fujian to Beijing to gather with Lin Yanchao.

They've come all the way. Holding the survey card of Lao Kan, the political secretary of Fujian Zuobu, he lived all the way to the water and land station. In the end, he also sent a team of officers and soldiers from the Yamen of the Political Secretary to escort him, so Lin Qianqian arrived in Beijing smoothly.

The sampan was set up, everyone disembarked, and the batons got on board to carry their luggage to the boatman.

At this moment, the heavy rain fell, and the two Upong boats on the left and right, the bow of the boat was splashed by the rain and crackled.

Heavy rain poured down and rain splashed. The water surface of the entire canal is constantly beating.

Lin Qianqian held an umbrella and looked at the heavy rain and couldn't help worrying, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a man on the dock looking at him with a smile.

Lin Qianqian's lake-green cloak rolled up a corner for the wind, and the oil-paper umbrella in her hand also floated out along the wind, leaving her alone in the rain.

Seeing this scene, the man hurriedly took a few steps forward anxiously, and raised an umbrella to cover Lin Qianqian's head. Blocked the wind and rain.

But seeing the heavy rain falling all over the sky, people came and went on the dock. It's noisy.

The man was wearing an ordinary blue shirt, sharing the same umbrella as Lin Qianqian, with a gentle smile on his face.

Lin Qianqian stood in place, but the two maids on the side, but when they saw the man, they all exclaimed in surprise: "Master, it's master." ”

A voice came out. Several other descendants of the Lin family in the cabin also walked out, and when they saw this scene, they all said: "It's really a master, the villain has seen the master." ”

The voices of the slaves and servants rang out, and the man smiled and said, "Oh. It's Zhucui, Xiaogui, you all came to Beijing with your wife. ”

This blue-shirted man is Lin Yanchao.

Seeing that the subordinates of the Lin family were all excited, the officers and soldiers on the ship didn't know that this was Lin Yanchao, the new champion, and immediately the officers and soldiers bowed down and said: "The villain has seen the champion." ”

Then the boat boss, the boatman, the oarsman, the helmsman and others also understood, and bowed down with a puff: "The villain has seen the champion." ”

"I've seen Master Hanlin."

As for the coolies moving goods on the dock, they also knew that the big men had come, and they also bowed down at the moment.

Suddenly, on the dock, a large piece of black pressure fell on the bow of the ship.

"This official is not wearing official uniforms, you don't need to make this big salute, get up!" Lin Yanchao said with a smile.

Although Lin Yanchao ordered everyone to get up, they also stood aside tremblingly.

After Lin Yanchao finished giving the order, he looked down at Lin Qianqian, but saw that she was already in tears.

The husband and wife reunited after a long absence, and Lin Yanchao didn't know what to say for a while.

"The color sleeves are diligently holding the jade bell. Back then, it was difficult to ******. Dance low willow building heart moon, singing peach blossom fan shadow wind.

After parting, memories meet. A few soul dreams with you. There is a silver red photo left tonight, and I am afraid that the meeting is in a dream. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think of this word, this was made by Yan Jidao, and it was said that men and women reunited after a long absence.

Lin Qianqian picked up the silk cloth and dusted the raindrops on Lin Yanchao's shoulders, just like when they were children, when Lin Yanchao came back from playing or reading, Lin Qianqian always had to take the cloth and dust him off, which has not changed for more than ten years.

Lin Qianqian stopped her tears and said, "Brother Chao, why are you here for such a heavy rain?" I'll go to your house. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "I have been asking Jichuan to keep an eye on the past inn, I found out your news two days ago, and I will pick you up in advance if I calculate the date." ”

Lin Qianqian was a little happy when he heard this, and said with some blame in his tone: "But what if you delay your business, will the Son of Heaven blame?" ”

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "No, today is Xiu Mu!" Besides, if you want to blame, it's not the Son of Heaven who blames me. ”

At this time, a platoon of officials and soldiers arrived in the distance. The boatmen thought that these officials and soldiers were going to be driven away, and the merchant ships docked on the docks were making room for the boats, and they couldn't help but panic.

I didn't know that these officials and soldiers came, but they didn't have the slightest fierce look.

At that moment, the two officials of Yiwen and Wuwu bowed down in front of Lin Yanchao and said: "The lower officials sit in the Tongzhou Cangsi Cangwang pot in the grain hall, and the total money of Tongzhou Weiqian moves to see the revision, I don't know that the doctor went to the Tongzhou wharf in person, and he missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Lin Yanchao said calmly: "The official is so obedient that he doesn't want to alarm others, so the two of you don't need to be polite." ”

Lin Qianqian stood beside Lin Yanchao, seeing that he answered calmly, he was very sophisticated, and he was obviously familiar with officialdom.

Lin Qianqian couldn't help but think to himself when he saw this scene, the two had been separated for a year, and his father-in-law had become so awe-inspiring, and he was a little unfamiliar with him.

"Since this is the case, let the lower officials clear the way for the doctor."

Lin Yanchao nodded, it was a tacit agreement, and when he lowered his head, he saw that Lin Qianqian's clothes were slightly wet, so he took off his robe and put it on Lin Qianqian: "It's cold outside, wear it first." ”

Lin Qianqian saw Lin Yanchao dressing himself, and couldn't help but think, yes, no matter how outsiders change him, he has never changed to me. (To be continued.) )
