Now that the New Year is approaching, as soon as such a large-scale fleet crosses the Yangtze River, it will alarm the Changkong family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Changkong peerless Ying laughed on the dock, "I knew that adults would make a comeback, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

Chang Wei smiled: "The Boss of the Sky has a heart. ”

After a few words of greeting, Wei Liangdong even urged the sky-high price, he is now ambitious, like an arrow, eager to fly back to Beijing with wings, and the sky is peerless, but he is also interested, and he sent a stack of thick silver tickets and a few boxes of gifts and left.

Looking at the high-spirited appearance of Changkong Peerless, Chang Wei silently recited, "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes!" Next time I return to Jiangnan, the Changkong Gang and Jin Ge will fight hotly, and when the time comes, who will be swept away by the waves?

Standing at the bow of the boat and staring at the red sun at the confluence of rivers and rivers, Chang Wei turned around and entered the cabin, never appearing on the bow again. The boat arrived in Huai'an one day and one night, and the governor of Caoyun, Tengle Mountain, got on the boat to befriend Wei Liangdong and asked him to stop for a day to show off the friendship of the landlord.

Wei Liangdong has been in Jiangnan for half a year, how can he still have the heart to stay? He didn't even get off the boat, he only stopped on the dock for an hour to have a banquet with Fujile Mountain, and in the face of this tall and mighty enemy, Chang Wei wanted to kill him with a sword, but this thought could only turn around in his heart.

When Teng Leshan saw Chang Wei, he was full of praise, "Young and promising, the characters are romantic, and the martial arts are strong." "I don't feel guilty about the dirty things I've done.

Chang Wei was secretly vigilant, "The old fox city in the officialdom is too deep, this is much stronger than the enemies on the rivers and lakes who draw their swords at every turn!"

When the boat arrived in Xia Town, Chang Wei put down Cheng Shiyu, Xia Sanzi and others and asked them to go home for the New Year. After staying for a while, the rain turned back and said that Xia Congyan had already left home, saying that he had gone to Longhu Mountain.

Chang Wei said stupidly: "This guy is running fast!" After eradicating the White Lotus Sect, Xia Zhen returned to its former prosperity, and the boss of the family became a minister on the canal locks, and now the family is infinitely beautiful.

Along the way, Jining, Liaocheng, Dezhou, Cangzhou, Tianjin Wei and other places have officials along the river to greet them, Wei Liangdong only let some important personnel on the boat to meet each other, stay for a while, Chang Wei even wrote his own boat and never went out to meet people.

Chang Li nestled beside Chang Wei all day long and watched him curiously as he wrote a stack of manuscripts, while Han Chai held the manuscript and read it with relish, shaking his head and sighing while reading, "The little junior brother is really a list of Xie Yuan, and his writing is brilliant." ”

When Tianjin Jinyiwei picked up the fleet, there was no longer a need for the Volunteer Battalion to escort it, and Lian Zhen Wuqu returned with the men and horses. The Jinyi Wei Brigade opened the way on the canal and both banks, and the speed of the ship suddenly increased, Wei Liangdong ran to Chang Wei's boat and said excitedly: "I can get to Tongzhou in the evening, hurry up and finally be able to rush back to Beijing before Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Came out of Zhenjiang and sailed on the canal for 12 or 3 days, today is already the 27th day of the lunar month, the land in the north is frosty and dewy, fortunately there is no heavy snow, and the road is quite fast.

Seeing that Chang Wei was struggling to write in his hand, Wei Liangdong smiled and said, "Ouch, Mr. Chang, are you here to cultivate yourself and start learning? ”

Han Chai handed over the manuscript, only to see that the title page read "The Legend of Chivalry and Loyalty: Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", which was the first book that Chang Wei exchanged from the system. Writing this book was well thought out, because, having just held a martial arts conference in Nanjing, it is still uncertain what the imperial court's impression of the Jianghu people is, Chang Wei wants to use the story of Bao Gong and the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness to create a positive image of the Jianghu people.

Therefore, I wrote this book every day except for eating and sleeping, and I almost wrote one hundred and twenty times in twelve or three days.

"Tanuki for Prince...... This is Bao Zheng's story! It's interesting, it's so eloquent, it's really vivid!"

Wei Liangdong looked at it with relish, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chang is going to go to Beijing to tell the story?"

Chang Wei laughed while carrying the pen like flying: "I already have a draft of this story, and I wrote it when I had nothing to do on the boat." ”

Wei Liangdong immediately came up with an idea, "This book is very interesting, the idlers and people in the streets and alleys will definitely like it, when we get to Beijing, we will open a bookstore, and we will make a little money by printing it, and it will definitely make you famous!"

Chang Wei had this intention, the two discussed for a while, Wei Liangdong returned to the ship with a few chapters of manuscripts to read, Chang Wei continued to write, and when it was dark, the boat was getting slower and slower and finally stopped on the dock.

There was a cheer from Wei Liangdong's entourage in front, "It's time to Tongzhou!"

As soon as Chang Wei got off the boat, he saw the towering sign, which was "a tower shadow recognizes Tongzhou." ”

The lighthouse stands at the northern end of the Grand Canal and is a landmark building in Beitongzhou. This is the main section of the North Canal, although it is late at night in winter, there are still countless ships and merchant ships that can transport grain from Tianjin to Tongzhou.

The Grand Canal not only created Tianjin, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuxi, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other cities, but also turned Beijing's east gate into the "Jingdong granary".

The name Tongzhou is taken from the meaning of "Caoyun Tongji". On the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which runs from north to south, Tongzhou has played the role of "Royal Wharf" since the Ming Dynasty because of its unique geographical location.

Every day, a large number of ships carry supplies and grain to the capital along the canal. After the boats arrived in Tongzhou, some of the ships carrying grain continued westward through the Tonghui River, entered the moat of Beijing, and docked at Chaoyangmen Wharf, where they sent the grain to the thirteen warehouses in the Dongcheng area. Due to the limited storage capacity in Beijing, more grain goods were temporarily stored in Tongzhou.

The city prospered because of Caoyun, the people became rich because of Caoyun, and all industries in Tongzhou also prospered because of Caoyun. The materials of the Ming Dynasty and even the East and the West are gathered here, forming a dazzling and prosperous market.

After going ashore, Chang Wei witnessed the prosperity of "the first place in the world". Ships carrying cotton, copper coins, rice, silk, salt, tea, and other commodities were carried by ships, and even late at night the docks were busy, with countless porters unloading from many ships.

Wei Liangdong and Chang Wei personally told the workers to be careful, because they carried carefully selected and even irreplaceable things on board.

It took more than half an hour to load the goods, and the huge convoy of hundreds of carriages, escorted by hundreds of brocade guards, galloped along the official road by the canal to the west.

Chang Wei saw in the carriage in Tongzhou City, the traffic is busy, people come and go, all the houses on the street are all shops, workshops, industry and commerce are incomparably prosperous, from the colorful signboard you can see the southern tea, silk, porcelain, the northern leather goods, mountain goods, overseas spices and treasures are all available.

Chang Wei sighed with emotion, "It is worthy of being 'the key meeting of land and water, the throat of Kifu', and it should be quite promising to run an industry here." ”

It was only forty miles from Tongzhou to the capital, and the brisk carriage took only half an hour to arrive on the flat official road. The city of Beijing is divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the palace city. Each city has its own door, and there is a saying that "there are nine inner and seven outer seven imperial cities".

Although the Chaoyang Gate of the inner city at midnight had been closed, in front of the fierceness of the Jinyi Guard and Wei Liangdong's guard of honor, the gatekeeper opened the door respectfully to welcome the convoy into the city.

The convoy traveled to the end of Chaoyangmen Street, Wei Liangdong and Chang Wei separated, Wei Liangdong lived in the north of the imperial city on the Shichahai beach, which was only separated from the celebrant in the imperial city by a Bei'anmen.

Chang Wei's eldest brother Zuo Shilang often lives in the Nanxunfang in the east of the official office, and agrees to meet at a time, Wei Liangdong roars north with the convoy, and Chang Wei's five carriages go south to East Chang'an Street under the leadership of Jinyiwei, turn west and south into Nanxunfang, and stop in front of a quiet small courtyard.

Chang Wei got out of the car and saw the word 'Changfu' written on the door plaque, Shi Daxuan went up to call the door, and after a while, an old voice came from inside, "Who is coming in the middle of the night?"

Shi Daxuan shouted: "Your third master is here, open the door to greet him!"

There was a cheer from inside, "Oh, it's the third young master who is here, and it's almost the same when you count the hours." ”

"The third master has arrived, get up, and go and invite the uncle. ”

With the shout, the small door next to it creaked open, and an old man came out, and saw Chang Wei standing in front of the door kneeling down and making a big salute, Chang Wei helped him up, and the middle door was opened by two old servants.

Chang Wei took his subordinates to go in first, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that this was an elegant courtyard with two entrances and two entrances. The pattern sits in the north and faces south, the north is the five main houses of three positive and two ears, three rooms in the east and west wings, all the houses are connected by the corridor, the south side is connected with the main door hole, the hanging flower door is a total of seventeen rooms, the front is a small patio with the east and west ear rooms, this is the standard Beijing division courtyard structure.

The spacious courtyard in the middle is not only green with green bamboos and plum blossoms, but also with a rockery pond common in the south of the Yangtze River, and the southern courtyard in the northland building shows the origin of the owner.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of the steps of the main house, a white-faced bearded man with an elegant appearance walked out quickly.

At that moment, Chang Wei lifted his brocade robe and made a big salute, "Big brother, little brother has come to see you." ”

Chang Kuan was overjoyed, "Hahaha, I haven't seen my third brother for a year, and he is already a man who stands up to the sky, okay, okay!"

As soon as the two brothers said a few words, Shi Daxuan's group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives came up together to salute, "Lord Shilang, where are these gifts?

Chang Kuan's expression changed, through the letter, he knew that Chang Wei and Wei Liangdong were hot, but he didn't expect that these arrogant and domineering Jinyi guards would come to place things for him like house slaves, Chang Kuan didn't dare to take care of it, "It's just trivial matters, how dare you bother you?" Uncle Shun quickly invites all the adults into the house to drink a cup of hot tea to warm up their bodies, and Uncle Shun quickly seals the ceremony. ”

Shi Daxuan hurriedly bent down and arched his hand, "Lord Shilang doesn't have to see outside, we love the third master from the bottom of our hearts, and we will never dare to ask for it." I see that there are not many people here, and the two adults are reminiscing, and the things will be placed by us, you can rest assured that we all know the habits of the third master, and we will definitely not break things. ”

Chang Kuan couldn't even say it, but Chang Wei persuaded: "Da Xuan and I have been our own people for a long time." ”

Chang Kuan had no choice but to let them, settle his subordinates, and when he entered the back room, he saw a woman who had just been dressed neatly and her temples were still scattered, and said lightly, and said: "The slave Xiuyan visited her uncle, and the slave was not able to greet her, and she hoped to forgive her sins." ”

Uncle, when did the eldest brother take the concubine, he didn't say it in the letter, and without waiting for Chang Wei to ask, he heard Chang Kuan say embarrassedly: "Xiuyan's family is in the middle of the road, and it just so happens that I don't have anyone around me to take care of it, so I took the house in the summer." I was afraid that my mother and your sister-in-law would have something to say, so I didn't say it, third brother, you will have to say good things for me in the future. ”

It is indeed inconvenient to have no woman to take care of him by his side as the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, besides, Chang Kuan only married a wife and never even took a concubine, so he was afraid that the family would say anything about a concubine?

Chang Wei said with a smile: "Mother is loving, sister-in-law is knowledgeable, what is there to taboo in eldest brother." ”

"This, ahem. Chang Kuan pondered for a while before he whispered: "Xiuyan's father had an accident, and she was redeemed by me from the Teaching Workshop Division." ”

"The official prostitute?" (To be continued.) )
