Chapter 339 Luo Jieyuan, "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"
Jingwei Canal.
From Beiwei Mountain to Jingyu River at the end.
Down the current straight down, the speed is extremely fast.
It takes up to three days to reach outside of Kyoto.
At this time, on the wharf by the river, many porters were carrying goods and loading them onto the cargo ships moored on the shore.
In addition to cargo ships, there are also large and small passenger ships moored by the river.
For the sake of safety, Qin Wenzheng decided to take everyone from the Qin family on a big boat.
After all, there are many female relatives and no guards.
Compared with those small boats, the big boats must be more formal and safer.
The people who moved to the capital this time, besides Qin Wenzheng, Qin Chuan, Miss Qin and Luo Qingzhou, there were also seven maidservants, and three members of Steward Zhou's family.
The other maids and those mothers were unwilling to leave their hometown, so they all stayed in Mocheng, and went to the mansion or manor of Qin Second Master and Fourth Master.
This relocation brought some things besides people.
All the valuable things were put into Qin Chuan's storage bag.
In order to conceal people's eyes and ears, there are also some clothes and food, all of which are carried on the body.
If they are all packed in a storage bag, it will naturally arouse suspicion from others.
After all, with so many people traveling, how could they all be empty-handed.
Qin Wenzheng and Zhou Tong walked to the river, carefully observed and selected the passenger ships.
While observing, several scholars in Confucian robes, holding folding fans, hurried past them and boarded a cruise ship.
The cruise ship is beautifully decorated, with colorful lights and flowers hanging on the outside. It has two floors. It looks quite majestic and spacious, similar to those painted boats in Mohe.
At the same time, the melodious sound of playing the piano came from the boat.
At the upper and lower railings, some guards in white clothes came out from time to time.
Qin Wenzheng and Zhou Tong looked at each other, and said: "This cruise ship seems to be full of scholars and entertainers. There are no other Jianghu people or traders, and there are guards, so it should be relatively safe. Go, go and ask, and see them go. where."
The two of them walked over, and as soon as they got on the steps, the two well-dressed men guarding the side of the boat immediately raised their eyebrows and shouted: "What are you doing? This boat doesn't carry outsiders, so retreat quickly!"
Qin Wenzheng stopped quickly, cupped his hands and said, "I'm taking my family with me, and I want to go to Kyoto. I don't know if it's convenient. The boat fee is not a problem."
One of the big men directly waved his hand impatiently and said: "I said that this boat does not carry outsiders, did you hear me? We don't need your fare. The people on this boat are all dignitaries. If we collide with them, we can bear it." Sorry."
Another big man said: "Isn't there a passenger ship over there, go and take the passenger ship."
Qin Wenzheng saw that the two were firm and had no room for maneuver, so he had to turn around and leave with Zhou Tong.
Just a few steps away, a woman's crisp voice suddenly came from the boat: "What's going on?"
One of the big men hurriedly said respectfully: "Miss Yuan, those two people took their families to the capital and wanted to take our boat, but we sent them away."
Qin Wenzheng looked back and saw a woman wearing a blue dress, graceful and pretty, looking up at them.
Qin Wenzheng quickly turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Girl, we are from Mocheng and want to go to Kyoto, because most of the team are female relatives, and I'm afraid that it's not safe to mix fish and dragons on the passenger ship, so I want to ask if your ship is on board. Man, no offense intended."
The woman in Tsing Yi saw that he was extraordinary, not like an ordinary person, she smiled apologetically, and said: "Master, I'm really sorry. On our cruise ship, there are scholars from all over the place, and there are a few who are planning to go to the capital. The talents who will participate in next year's spring are all personally invited by my lady, so it is really inconvenient to accept outsiders."
When Qin Wenzheng heard this, his heart moved, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "This girl, my son-in-law, is also a scholar. I wonder if he can bring a few female relatives on your boat?"
The boat is full of scholars, and there are also Juren who are going to Beijing to catch the exam. It must be safer than any passenger ship. If Qingzhou can sit on it with Jian Jia and others, their pressure will be reduced a lot.
After all, they don’t have enough manpower, and there are too many female relatives. The passenger ship is full of people from all walks of life from all over the world, and there are even many villains hiding in it. If something happens, I’m afraid they won’t be able to take care of them.
The woman in Tsing Yi heard the words, but still politely refused: "Sorry, my lady..."
"Hsinchu, this gentleman just said, where are they from?"
At this time, a girl in a light yellow dress came out of the boat with two maids.
The woman in Tsing Yi quickly bowed, thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be Mo City."
The girl's expression moved slightly, she looked at Qin Wenzheng on the shore, and asked crisply: "This master, is it the city of Mocheng where "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" came out?"
Qin Wenzheng hurriedly said: "Exactly."
The girl's eyes lit up, and she said very politely: "This master just said that your son-in-law is also a scholar, can you let him come over and say a few words?"
Qin Wenzheng looked at Zhou Tong behind him.
Zhou Tong hurriedly said: "Girl wait a moment!"
After finishing speaking, he ran away immediately.
Not long after, Luo Qingzhou followed behind him and walked over.
It was dusk at this time, and the setting sun was falling on the pier.
Bathed in the golden sunset, he walked to Qin Wenzheng's side gracefully.
The young girl saw that he was dressed in a Confucian robe, tall and tall, with a handsome and elegant appearance, and a gentle manner, so she couldn't help thinking to herself: What a handsome son!
The girl immediately opened her mouth and said, "Since you are from Mocheng, have you heard of the few poems that have spread from Mocheng? For example, "Water Tune Getou", "Ode to the Broken Bridge Outside the Plum Station", "Cloud Thinking about Clothes and Flowers" Allow"?"
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Of course I have heard of it?"
The girl quickly asked: "Does the young master know their authors?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I haven't seen it before."
The young girl was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she still smiled and said, "Since the young master is a scholar and is going to the capital, he can naturally go on the little girl's boat. It just so happens that the little girl still has something to ask the young master."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the ship, turned his head and said, "Father-in-law, do we want this ship?"
Qin Wenzheng showed a look of embarrassment, and was about to speak, the girl apologized: "There are not too many guest rooms on the ship, and you can only bring two people up at most."
Qin Wenzheng immediately whispered: "Qing Zhou, take Jian Jia and Xia Chan up. Xia Chan can protect you. Your mother-in-law and I are going to take the passenger ship. If you are not here, the pressure on me and your second brother will be less .”
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment, looked at the girl in yellow skirt on the boat and said, "Girl, can we bring a few more people?"
The young girl felt displeased when she saw that he was making progress. She shook her head and said apologetically, "My lord, I'm really sorry. As I said just now, there are really not many guest rooms on the ship, and you have the most..."
"Luo Jieyuan!"
At this time, three scholars suddenly walked out of the cabin, and one of them shouted with surprise.
The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, and was secretly shocked: Jie Yuan?
The scholar quickly introduced: "Miss Tang, this is the Luo Jieyuan I told you about. This time, he won the first place in Mocheng in the imperial examination."
A look of surprise appeared on Tang Yan'er's face, and she looked at the young man on the shore again.
Luo Qingzhou saw that the thin scholar was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he turned out to be one of the people who went to visit him in the Qin Mansion after the Zhongjue. His name seemed to be Kong Zhe.
"Brother Kong, what a coincidence."
He also bowed his hands to say hello.
Kong Zhe said enthusiastically, "Brother Luo, is he going to the capital too? Just come on, there are quite a few Juren from our state on board."
Tang Yan'er hurriedly said: "How many people are in Mr. Luo's family?"
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Seventeen people."
As soon as these words came out, even Kong Zhe was taken aback: "Brother Luo, why are you bringing so many people with you?"
Luo Qingzhou replied: "I plan to move to Kyoto to join relatives."
Kong Zhe suddenly said: "It turned out that the whole family was relocated. Congratulations. But on this boat..."
He glanced at Miss Tang next to him, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he didn't dare to say more.
After all, it is someone else's boat, and he can't make the decision.
Tang Yan'er looked puzzled: "Mr. Luo, seventeen people are really too many, or..."
Qin Wenzheng hurriedly said: "Miss, don't be embarrassed, let Qingzhou bring five female relatives up, what do you think?"
Tang Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If you bring five people, it will be no problem."
Qin Wenzheng immediately whispered: "Qing Zhou, take the three of Jian Jia, Xiao Die and Qiu Er with you. You are a cruise ship, so it may be slower. We will wait for you at the pier."
Luo Qingzhou thought that it would not be safe for seventeen people to take a passenger boat, so he nodded and agreed.
Qin Wenzheng immediately took Zhou Tong and left in a hurry.
Not long after, he brought Miss Qin and a few people over, and another person appeared behind him.
Qin Wenzheng came close and said awkwardly: "Qing Zhou, your mother-in-law is worried about Jian Jia and wants to accompany her."
Luo Qingzhou glanced into his eyes, and heard him complaining in his heart: [What an idiot, it's this time, and I'm afraid this kid will run away. You will see Wei Mo soon, even if you whip him at this time, do you think he will run away? Is he willing to him? 】
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Song Ruyue glanced at him guilty, and said, "Qiu'er said she wanted to take a passenger ship, so she offered to change with me..."
Luo Qingzhou saw that Qiu'er didn't follow, she understood, she didn't say any more, and stepped on the pedal.
Qin Wenzheng quickly urged in a low voice: "Bailing, Xia Chan, I'll leave it to you."
Bai Ling smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, Chanchan and I promise to complete the task, and we won't let them lose a hair."
"Master Luo, please!"
Tang Yan'er smiled all over his face, and glanced at the girls behind him.
Miss Qin is wearing a veil, so she cannot see her real appearance, but the two girls behind her are both first-class beauties.
Even that young woman is not ordinary beauty, full of charm.
Kong Zhe and the other two scholars were also stunned, secretly envious: "So many beautiful girls are probably the wives and concubines of this Luo Jieyuan. Such a blessing is so enviable!"
Tang Yan'er personally led them into the cabin, went up to the second floor, and allocated rooms to them first.
"Mr. Luo, there are two connected guest rooms. The bed inside is quite big. There is no problem sleeping three people in each room. Have you seen enough? If not..."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and let him take a look.
Luo Qingzhou was about to speak, Bai Ling quickly said: "Enough, enough, it would be nice to have two guest rooms to sleep in, but I dare not bother my sister any more."
Tang Yan'er smiled all over her face: "No trouble, if it's not enough, I'll let the servant girl make room for another room. It's just that there may be people coming on the boat later, if it's really not possible, let them squeeze with other people. "
Hearing what she said, Luo Qingzhou didn't have the nerve to ask for more, so he cupped his hands and thanked her.
Tang Yan'er smiled and said: "I guess you are tired too? Then I won't bother you, you go back to your room to rest for a while, and come down for dinner later. There will be performances in the hall on the first floor at night. Mr. Luo, there may be some Poetry meeting, when the time comes, the little girl will have to open her eyes and see Luo Jieyuan's talent."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say much, but cupped his hands and thanked him again.
Tang Yan'er smiled, and retreated with the maid.
Song Ruyue suddenly asked in a low voice: "How much is the boat fare? The master didn't tell me. This boat is so luxurious, it probably won't be cheap, right?"
Bai Ling smiled "puchi" and said: "Madam, don't worry, with my uncle here, maybe you don't need to spend a penny."
When Song Ruyue heard this, she looked at her suspiciously, and then at someone, with a hint of vigilance suddenly showing in her eyes.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to stay any longer, walked into the room and said, "I'm a little tired, let's rest for a while."
Xiaodie naturally followed in.
After entering the room, she suddenly came to her senses, turned around quickly, looked at the four people outside, and blinked.
A room seems to only sleep three people.
The four of them stood outside and suddenly fell silent.

It must be safer than any passenger ship. If Qingzhou can sit on it with Jian Jia and others, their pressure will be reduced a lot. After all, they don't have enough manpower, and there are too many female relatives. The passenger ship is full of people from all walks of life from all over the world, and there are even many villains hiding in it. If something happens, I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them.The woman in Tsing Yi heard the words, but still politely refused: "Sorry, my lady..." "Hsinchu, this gentleman just said, where are they from?"At this time, a girl in a light yellow dress came out of the boat with two maids.The woman in Tsing Yi quickly bowed, thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be Mo City."The girl's expression moved slightly, she looked at Qin Wenzheng on the shore, and asked crisply: "This master, is it the city of Mocheng where "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" came out?"Qin Wenzheng hurriedly said: "Exactly."The girl's eyes lit up, and she said very politely: "This master just said that your son-in-law is also a scholar, can you let him come over and say a few words?"Qin Wenzheng looked at Zhou Tong behind him. Zhou Tong hurriedly said: "Girl wait a moment!" After finishing speaking, he ran away immediately. Not long after, Luo Qingzhou followed behind him and walked over.It was dusk at this time, and the setting sun was falling on the pier. Bathed in the golden sunset, he walked to Qin Wenzheng's side gracefully.The young girl saw that he was dressed in a Confucian robe, tall and tall, with a handsome and elegant appearance, and a gentle manner, so she couldn't help thinking to herself: What a handsome son!The girl immediately opened her mouth and said, "Since you are from Mocheng, have you heard of the few poems that have spread from Mocheng? For example, "Water Tune Getou", "Ode to the Broken Bridge Outside the Plum Station", "Cloud Thinking about Clothes and Flowers" Allow"?"Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Of course I have heard of it?"The girl quickly asked: "Does the young master know their authors?"Luo Qingzhou said: "I haven't seen it before."The young girl was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she still smiled and said, "Since the young master is a scholar and is going to the capital, he can naturally go on the little girl's boat. It just so happens that the little girl still has something to ask the young master."Luo Qingzhou glanced at the ship, turned his head and said, "Father-in-law, do we want this ship?"Qin Wenzheng showed a look of embarrassment, and was about to speak, the girl apologized: "There are not too many guest rooms on the ship, and you can only bring two people up at most."Qin Wenzheng immediately whispered: "Qing Zhou, take Jian Jia and Xia Chan up. Xia Chan can protect you. Your mother-in-law and I are going to take the passenger ship. If you are not here, the pressure on me and your second brother will be less .Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment, looked at the girl in yellow skirt on the boat and said, "Girl, can we bring a few more people?"The young girl felt displeased when she saw that he was making progress. She shook her head and said apologetically, "My lord, I'm really sorry. As I said just now, there are really not many guest rooms on the ship, and you have the most..." "Luo Jieyuan!"At this time, three scholars suddenly walked out of the cabin, and one of them shouted with surprise.The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, and was secretly shocked: Jie Yuan?The scholar quickly introduced: "Miss Tang, this is the Luo Jieyuan I told you about. This time, he won the first place in Mocheng in the imperial examination."A look of surprise appeared on Tang Yan'er's face, and she looked at the young man on the shore again.Luo Qingzhou saw that the thin scholar was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he turned out to be one of the people who went to visit him in the Qin Mansion after the Zhongjue. His name seemed to be Kong Zhe. "Brother Kong, what a coincidence."He also bowed his hands to say hello.Kong Zhe said enthusiastically, "Brother Luo, is he going to the capital too? Just come on, there are quite a few Juren from our state on board."Tang Yan'er hurriedly said: "How many people are in Mr. Luo's family?"Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Seventeen people."As soon as these words came out, even Kong Zhe was taken aback: "Brother Luo, why are you bringing so many people with you?"Luo Qingzhou replied: "I plan to move to Kyoto to join relatives."Kong Zhe suddenly said: "It turned out that the whole family was relocated. Congratulations. But on this boat..."He glanced at Miss Tang next to him, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he didn't dare to say more. After all, it is someone else's boat, and he can't make the decision. Tang Yan'er looked puzzled: "Mr. Luo, seventeen people are really too many, or..."Qin Wenzheng hurriedly said: "Miss, don't be embarrassed, let Qingzhou bring five female relatives up, what do you think?"Tang Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If you bring five people, it will be no problem."Qin Wenzheng immediately whispered: "Qing Zhou, take the three of Jian Jia, Xiao Die and Qiu Er with you. You are a cruise ship, so it may be slower. We will wait for you at the pier."Luo Qingzhou thought that it would not be safe for seventeen people to take a passenger boat, so he nodded and agreed.Qin Wenzheng immediately took Zhou Tong and left in a hurry. Not long after, he brought Miss Qin and a few people over, and another person appeared behind him.Qin Wenzheng came close and said awkwardly: "Qing Zhou, your mother-in-law is worried about Jian Jia and wants to accompany her."Luo Qingzhou glanced into his eyes, and heard him complaining in his heart: What an idiot, it's this time, and I'm afraid this kid will run away. You will see Wei Mo soon, even if you whip him at this time, do you think he will run away? Is he willing to him? Luo Qingzhou: "..."Song Ruyue glanced at him guilty, and said, "Qiu'er said she wanted to take a passenger ship, so she offered to change with me..."Luo Qingzhou saw that Qiu'er didn't follow, she understood, she didn't say any more, and stepped on the pedal.Qin Wenzheng quickly urged in a low voice: "Bailing, Xia Chan, I'll leave it to you." Bai Ling smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, Chanchan and I promise to complete the task, and we won't let them lose a hair." "Master Luo, please!" Tang Yan'er smiled all over his face, and glanced at the girls behind him.Miss Qin is wearing a veil, so she cannot see her real appearance, but the two girls behind her are both first-class beauties.Even that young woman is not ordinary beauty, full of charm.Kong Zhe and the other two scholars were also stunned, secretly envious: "So many beautiful girls are probably the wives and concubines of this Luo Jieyuan. Such a blessing is so enviable!"Tang Yan'er personally led them into the cabin, went up to the second floor, and allocated rooms to them first. "Mr. Luo, there are two connected guest rooms. The bed inside is quite big. There is no problem sleeping three people in each room. Have you seen enough? If not..." As he spoke, he pushed open the door and let him take a look.Luo Qingzhou was about to speak, Bai Ling quickly said: "Enough, enough, it would be nice to have two guest rooms to sleep in, but I dare not bother my sister any more."Tang Yan'er smiled all over her face: "No trouble, if it's not enough, I'll let the servant girl make room for another room. It's just that there may be people coming on the boat later, if it's really not possible, let them squeeze with other people. "Hearing what she said, Luo Qingzhou didn't have the nerve to ask for more, so he cupped his hands and thanked her.Tang Yan'er smiled and said: "I guess you are tired too? Then I won't bother you, you go back to your room to rest for a while, and come down for dinner later. There will be performances in the hall on the first floor at night. Mr. Luo, there may be some Poetry meeting, when the time comes, the little girl will have to open her eyes and see Luo Jieyuan's talent."Luo Qingzhou didn't say much, but cupped his hands and thanked him again. Tang Yan'er smiled, and retreated with the maid.Song Ruyue suddenly asked in a low voice: "How much is the boat fare? The master didn't tell me. This boat is so luxurious, it probably won't be cheap, right?"Bai Ling smiled "puchi" and said: "Madam, don't worry, with my uncle here, maybe you don't need to spend a penny."When Song Ruyue heard this, she looked at her suspiciously, and then at someone, with a hint of vigilance suddenly showing in her eyes.Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to stay any longer, walked into the room and said, "I'm a little tired, let's rest for a while."Xiaodie naturally followed in. After entering the room, she suddenly came to her senses, turned around quickly, looked at the four people outside, and blinked.A room seems to only sleep three people. The four of them stood outside and suddenly fell silent. Goneend of this chapter
