Chapter 624: Arriving in Hangzhou

The princess of Shu didn't see Wang Shu outside the window, she was talking to Xu Yuan beside her, asking about the situation outside, when she learned that Wang Shu was deliberately making things difficult to prevent them from leaving, her face also showed a little annoyance, in her heart, she had no relationship with Wang Shu for a long time, but the other party deliberately made it difficult this time, which made her a little angry.

It's a pity that the princess of Shu didn't know that her angry appearance happened to fall into Wang Xu's eyes outside the window, which made Wang Shu stunned there for a while, and his face also showed a very complicated look.

Regarding the change in the expression on Wang Xu's face, Zhao Yan, Cao Song and others next to him also saw it, among them, Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to him at all, turned over and left, but Cao Song deliberately fell to the end, as if he had said something to Wang Xu, and as a result, Wang Xu's whole body trembled, but he laughed and caught up with Zhao Yan and them.

"Hey, what did you say to Wang Xu, why did you make him angry like that?" Hu Yanping had been paying attention to Cao Song's movements, and asked very curiously.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm just telling him that the second sister is pregnant, and if he has the opportunity to go to the south in the future, he can invite him to drink the child's full moon wine." Cao Song said with an evil smile on his face.

"I'll rub it, you're too damaged, no wonder you make Wang Shu angry like that, but I like it." Hu Yanping also laughed at the end, but soon he thought of one more thing, and said to Cao Song at the moment, "Brother Jiu'er, you and Princess Weiguo already have two children, but why haven't Princess Shu and Xu Yuan had children yet?" ”

"It's not that the second sister doesn't want it, but she hasn't been able to conceive, but it's nothing, Ying'er and I have been married for several years before we conceived a child. So this kind of thing can't be rushed at all. Zhao Yan suddenly interjected at this time, Zhao Yan was also very anxious about the fact that Xu Yuan and the princess of Shu had no children, and he had asked his second sister in private, but the princess of Shu sued him, and the couple was also very anxious. For this reason, he also asked Cao Tong to help the two of them check the pulse, but they didn't find any problems, so this qiē can only be explained by bad luck.

"That's true, but the third brother, you have been so good in the past few years, and now you have ten children, more than me and the ninth brother's children combined, do you want to order a baby?" Hu Yanping laughed again at this time and said, he now has five children, but compared to Zhao Yan, it is half less.

"Haha. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, if they grow up and like each other in the future, it is useless for us to stop, if they don't like each other, but we are forced to marry them, maybe there will be some trouble, so it is better to let it develop. Zhao Yan didn't want to bring a restraint to his sons because of a momentary impulse, so he refused very rationally.

Hu Yanping also felt justified when he heard Zhao Yan's words. He nodded and didn't care. When they came to Zhao Yan's mansion, Xu Yuan and the princess of Shu. and Princess Weiguo, who boarded the carriage to accompany her sister just now, was also there, and it was not early at this time, so Zhao Yan immediately ordered to set off.

When Zhao Yan's motorcade came to the city gate, he found that many relatives and friends in the capital had come to see him off, among which the Su Shi brothers and Li Gonglin were also waiting here with their luggage, and they would leave the capital with Zhao Yan to take up a post in the south. In fact, he is to be Zhao Yan's assistant, as for what to do, he has to wait for Zhao Yan to arrive in the south before arranging for them.

With Zhao Yan's prestige and status, and his two sisters also left Beijing together, there are many people who came to see him off today. Zhao Yan and Cao Song got off the carriage together and exchanged a few words with the people who saw them off, and then drank a few glasses of send-off wine, and then waved goodbye to them, Zhao Yan, who was riding on the horse, looked at Tokyo City farther and farther behind him, and couldn't help but sigh, I don't know how many years it will take to come back.

Zhao Yan's destination was Guangzhou, just south of Kaifeng, and they should have gone south out of the capital, but Zhao Yan and they did not do this, but went southeast, arrived at a tributary of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and went south by boat, and after more than half a month of sailing, Zhao Yan and they finally arrived in Hangzhou.

As the so-called heaven has Suzhou and Hangzhou under it, although Hangzhou at this time is not as prosperous as the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is also a very high ranking big city in the south, especially here near the West Lake, the scenery is very beautiful, plus Zhao Yan and they dragged their families all the way, although there are carriages and boats to travel, but still a little tired, so I plan to play here in Hangzhou for a period of time and then go.

When you come to Hangzhou, you can't help but visit the West Lake, and you can't help but eat the West Lake vinegar fish, this dish is also related to Su Shi, and there is also Xu Yuan's senior brother Yuan, that is, the Buddha Yin Zen master in history also has a lot to do with it, and there are many interesting legends about them in later generations, including a story related to the West Lake vinegar fish.

Zhao Yan and Xu Yuan, Cao Song, Hu Yanping, Su Shi brothers and Li Gonglin and others came to the West Lake together, rented a fishing boat by the lake, this fishing boat is operated by a pair of fishermen, and also knows how to cook, especially the vinegar fish in the West Lake is very good, Zhao Yan and they sit on the bow of the boat while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, while tasting the food, it is also very comfortable.

"King Jun, we have already arrived in Hangzhou, and we can be regarded as arriving in the south, but we now know that you plan to take over Haimao, but we don't know what your plans are for this matter, let alone where to start, so do you want to reveal some words to us first?" Su Shi tasted a piece of West Lake vinegar fish, praised a few words but asked Zhao Yan, Su Zhe and Li Gonglin next to him also looked at him, it seems that they must have been speculating about this matter during this time.

"Yes, third brother, you used to like to make a plan, but you don't seem to have any plans to go to the south this time, are you making a plan for ourselves without telling us?" Cao Song also opened his mouth to ask at this time, although he and Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping were closer to Zhao Yan, they also didn't know what Zhao Yan's plans were for going to the south this time.

Seeing Su Shi's curious gaze, they saw Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to look at me so curiously, to be honest, in fact, I don't have any plans, I'll wait until I get to Guangzhou." ”

"There's no plan, this doesn't look like your style of doing things, the king of the county." At this time, Li Gonglin also said in surprise, he had known Zhao Yan for so many years, and he knew Zhao Yan's character very well, so he was surprised that Zhao Yan went to the south without any plan.

"Hehe, I want to have a plan, but I haven't seen the situation of sea trade with my own eyes, I can only get some information from some channels, and even I haven't really seen sea ships until now, and I don't know what overseas trade is all about, so after we arrived in Guangzhou this time, the first thing is not to take over sea trade, but to familiarize ourselves with the situation of sea trade, only to know ourselves and know each other, in order to prepare for the following plan." Zhao Yan smiled bitterly at first, and then told the truth, in fact, let alone this life, he didn't know much about the sea in his previous life, if it weren't for the fact that he really didn't want to stay in the capital because of the change of law this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have run to the beach.

"The third brother is right, although sea trade is also a kind of business, but because the overseas situation is extremely complicated, this also makes the situation of sea trade change rapidly, even if I have stayed overseas for a long time a few years ago, but now I go to the beach, I am afraid it will feel very strange." At this time, Xu Yuan also spoke, and among the people present, he was the only one who knew the most about sea trade, but it was precisely because of this that he was more cautious.

Hearing Xu Yuan say this, Su Shi and the others nodded in understanding, but at this time, Su Zhe, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "King Jun, even if you don't have any plans, you must have any thoughts about Haimao, can you tell us your thoughts, so that we can get ready?" ”

"There is no problem with this, in fact, I have also done some research and understanding of the sea trade situation in the Great Song Dynasty before, so I also have some ideas...... Zhao Yan said and told him about his previous thoughts on sea trade, most of these ideas are relatively fragmentary, but some of them are very bold, which also makes Su Shi and them dumbfounded, and at the same time they feel as if they have been pitted by Zhao Yan, because this time to serve in the south does not seem to be as simple as imagined.

At the same time, Princess Chen Guo and his wife in Guangzhou City sat in the hall with an anxious face, and Wang Shi, who was a concubine, sat for a while and stood up and walked a few steps anxiously, and then said to his wife: "Lady, when will the third brother come to Guangzhou, if they come a few days late, I'm afraid things will become out of control." ”

"Husband, can you find a way to delay a little longer, calculate the distance, it is estimated that the third brother and they should also cross the Yangtze River, and they will come here in a month at most, as long as they can come, especially Xu Yuan can come, then it will be much easier to do." Princess Chen Guo also said with an anxious face.

"I also want to delay time, but the newcomer Cai Zhizhou is too young, relying on the support of Wang Xianggong and other new parties behind him, and he doesn't take me as a colt in his eyes at all, I have persuaded him a few times before, but he agrees very well in person every time, what should I do when I turn around, I don't have any way." Wang Shiyue also said helplessly at this time, during this time he was caught at both ends and was angry, afraid that it would lead to chaos in Guangzhou because of this incident, but now it has reached the last moment.

"That can't be helped, it looks like I'll have to go to the water master myself!" Princess Chen Guo suddenly said with a resolute face at this time, now only her identity as a princess can solve this big crisis in Guangzhou City, but she has to take a lot of risks here, I hope those people will not mess around.
