Chapter 424: The Road Is Difficult

In August and September, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is a good day to go out and travel far away.

But at that time, when Zhang You left Beijing, the weather changed early, first the wind blew, the autumn clouds were long, the sky was dyed into a piece of blue gray, the green gauze tent in the area of Jingshi Zhili had already been cut, the west wind raged on the empty and lonely endless fields, and the yellow sand and floating soil came to the face for a while, choking people couldn't breathe, but it was somewhat similar to the sandstorms of later generations, Zhang You and Li Yan Liu Xudong Mo Rigen were better, but Li Hailong was the first time to suffer this kind of hardship, if he didn't know that Zhang You was in a bad mood and couldn't be provoked, he would have retreated and turned back.

On the night of the wedding, he received a message from Xing Shangzhi Feige, not only the shipyard was burned, Zhang Yunxiu was also seriously injured, life and death were uncertain, Zhang You was angry and rushed to the crown, without a moment's delay, he went out of the city overnight, and he couldn't even wait to enter the palace and say a word to Zhu Yijun.

However, Zhang Juzheng promised to explain to him in person, and the shipyard also pinned on Zhu Yijun's high hopes, and if such a big incident happened, he would definitely not be blamed for saying goodbye.

Mo Rigen is on behalf of Xin Ai Huang Taiji and Princess Sumya (Zhu Yijun Feng) to congratulate Zhang You, Su Miya had said that he wanted to enter Beijing to thank him, Zhu Yijun was also ready to let Zhang You be in charge of the reception, but later Altan Khan suddenly fell seriously ill and had to rush back to Daqingcheng before the trip was completed.

The reason why Mo Rigen followed was to help Zhang You repay his kindness, and secondly, he also had a plan to have a long insight. As for Li Hailong, he was hard-brought by Zhang You, this kid was used to lawlessness by Li Quanfu's family, and the lesson from the last time was obviously not enough.

After Baoding Mansion, the wind finally became smaller, but it rained, at the beginning of Zhejiang, Zhejiang, intermittently, and then simply splashed, like a big friendless sieve in the sky unhurriedly downward "sifting water".

Zhang You was walking in the cold rain of this cold autumn, he was already on his mind, his mood was getting worse and worse, his face was more cloudy than the sky, and even Li Yan ignored him when he talked to him, and others did not dare to touch his moldy head. The rain fell intermittently for several days, but the group did not stop, staying overnight every day, fighting against the muddy official road.

When we arrived at Xinle, the rain finally stopped, but the weather did not improve, and it was still gloomy like the bottom of a black pot.

The front is the border of Luxian County, where the well trail road leads to the west and reaches the water transport wharf of Dezhou Prefecture in the east, and the north and south post roads run through it, the population is becoming more and more dense, and the merchants on the official road are gradually increasing.

"Zicheng, it's really not good, let's go to Texas and take the waterway, look at this sky, I'm afraid that it won't be sunny for a while, and if it rains again, it's still not a way out."

When he was about to go to the intersection of Dezhou Mansion, Li Yan suggested, and Li Hailong next to him endured a few endurances, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and said sourly: "Originally, I said, take the waterway, how good the waterway is, take a boat to watch the scenery, if you are tired, you can still walk around on the shore." If you don't listen, you can walk on a horseback and on a rainy day, this is not human. ”

Zhang You frowned and said: "You know a fart, now Caoyun is busy, the canal is full of ships transporting grain to the north, a wall is half a day, when and what month can you get to Nanjing?" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that these words seemed to be aimed at Li Yan, and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, I'm not targeting you...... If you want to make any more noise, you will take away your horse, and you will not give you a penny, and let you walk back by yourself. ”

Parents and Li Quanfu and his wife were not around, and there was no support, Li Hailong didn't dare to rap anymore, and muttered in a low voice, don't go over his head.

"Zicheng, it's not me talking about you, no matter how anxious you are, you can't plug in your wings, the weather is getting colder and colder, let's brave the rain and hurry, in case of a good freeze, won't it delay the work even more? If you rush to Texas to take a boat, you can also take a good rest by the way, and when the weather is really good, it is not too late to abandon the boat and go ashore. ”

As soon as Li Yan said this, Zhang You could no longer refute: "Okay, I'm also worried about Yun Xiu's safety...... Resign yourself to fate, if the sky dies him, I can't help it! ”

When I arrived at the Texas Mansion Wharf, it was already dark, but the wharf was brightly lit and hot.

Zhang You got off the horse and told Liu Xiangdong to find a fast boat, and while he was talking, he saw a group of people coming over with lanterns, and asked everyone who passed by: "This master, do you want to take a boat?" ”

It turned out that they were soliciting passengers to take the boat, and when they saw Zhang You and his entourage leading horses, unlike ordinary people, they immediately hugged them and surrounded them, and greeted Zhang You and them on the boat, noisy and noisy.

Zhang You was noisy, angry and funny, and casually pointed to the little guy in Tsing Yi next to him who had not spoken: "It's him, let's disperse, let's take his boat!" Seeing this, the rest of the people enviously joked a few words about the little guy in Tsing Yi, and scattered in a hurry, and went to find other guests.

Zhang You and others followed the little guy all the way to the depths of the wharf, and after arriving at the canal, they walked south along the river bank for a mile, and the little guy pointed to the behemoth not far away and said proudly: "Arrived, the lords opened their eyes, our old Ji family's boat dare not say that the canal is the largest, but it is definitely not small, made of authentic Nanmu, with the three-masted sail, if it is downwind, at most ten days can reach Nanjing." ”

More than 20 meters long hull, in today's era is definitely not small, along the direction of the Tsing Yi Xiao's fingers, Zhang Youguo saw that there were a large two small and three masts standing on the ship, on the main mast, a large lantern was held high, and the word "Ji" was written on it.

He asked, "Where are you merchants?" What do you buy and sell? ”

"If you go back to the grandfather's platform, don't look at your extraordinary instruments, don't underestimate us, our owner is in the silk business, and he is a frequent visitor to the Zhang family in the capital......"

"Which Zhang family"? Zhang You asked curiously.

"Listening to your accent, it looks like the Jingshi generation, has Zhang Renren, the commander of the Heavenly Guard, heard of it? His wife is a business wizard, and people give the nickname Chang Niangzi, Daming Silver knows, right? There are many places with their semicolons, and there are countless possessions. ”

Li Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard it next to her, Zhang You and Liu Xiangdong also laughed secretly, Li Hailong was just about to speak, but Zhang You grabbed his arm, and he was in pain, and he hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, secretly slandering, what is there to hide? Look at this guy's smug look, is it awesome? If you tell him that you are Zhang Rang's own aunt, you won't scare him to death?

The little girl in Tsing Yi didn't notice the strangeness of everyone, and led everyone onto the boat with nagging, and before he got off the boat to lead the horse, he heard a strange voice of yin and yang: "Why did you bring guests again?" I have brought back one, the new governor of Shaoxing, Lord Liu...... Lord Liu loves to be quiet, let them get off the boat! ”

"Why are you driving us? Try one and see if Lao Tzu doesn't burn your broken boat! Li Hailong was furious and suddenly attacked...... (Once Literature Network,)
