Chapter 126 Liaocheng
Feng Ruoshu heard Zhu Hongsan say this, snorted and said, "Will I let his son Hou Fangyu get engaged to Xiaofang without this relationship? I didn't expect it to be ruined by you."
Zhu Hongsan chuckled a few times and asked, "Uncle, you have produced many eunuchs in your subject."
Feng Ruoshu said: "What eunuch party is there? It's all the guys in Donglin Academy. They think that people who are not their are all eunuch party. Fortunately, the old man's teacher was Ye Xianggao, otherwise he would have been named eunuch party by these guys back then."
Zhu Hongsan then asked, "Why did Ruan Dacheng become a eunuch party?"
Feng Ruoshu said: "Ruan Dacheng was a serious Donglin Party back then. His teacher was Gao Panlong, one of the three big bosses in Donglin. But Ruan Dacheng was young and energetic at that time. Because his teacher did not give him the errands for the official department, he gave the errands to another of my Wei Dazhong in the same year.
Ruan Dacheng joined the eunuch party in anger. I think he should have regretted it over the years."
Zhu Hongsan said, "No wonder, I asked my second brother to visit Ruan Dacheng a few years ago. He was very polite to his second brother. It turned out that he was not only grateful to his second brother for his timely help, but also his uncle's floor inside."
Feng Ruoshu said: "It's not about my face. I have a good relationship with Shen Youlong and Ruan Dacheng. He is just about Ma Guoan's face. He only had a common language in opera back then.
But after the fourth year of Tianqi, Ruan Dacheng defected to the eunuch party, and your uncle cut off his robe and righteousness. You said this just now that Ruan Dacheng still did not give up this relationship."
When Zhu Hongsan heard Feng Ruoshu say this, he made arrangements in his mind. It seemed that his Nanjing delegation was basically fine.
This was the servant of the Chen family on the boat who informed that the breakfast was ready and asked the two masters to go in for dinner. Then Zhu and Feng entered the cabin.
When I came to the dining room, I saw Miss San standing aside. When I saw Zhu Hongsan coming in, I immediately lowered my head.
Zhu Hongsan said, "It turns out that my aunt is here too, sit down and eat together."
This sentence made Feng Ruoshu and Miss Third, whose faces were flushed. The third lady said in the voice of a mosquito: "Two masters eat first, I'll go and see how His Royal Highness the Princess is." After that, he ran away in panic.
When Feng Ruoshu saw the third lady leaving, he said angrily: "Lord, don't tease me."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "It's not a joke. Isn't my uncle going to marry the third lady to fill the house? The third lady is born in the legitimate family and has enough status."
Feng Ruoshu said, "Let's talk about it when you come to Nanjing."
Zhu Hongsan thought in his heart that this old guy would not give him a name without giving him a name. It was really hateful. But he didn't say anything, just lowered his head to eat.
The next few days it was very peaceful on the canal. Because Beijing's canal transport was cut off, the canal was no longer flowing grain transport ships. Zhu Hongsan and his nine boats walked on the canal very happily.
When Zhu Hongsan passed by Hexi Town, he saw that it was already 100 miles away from Beijing. In addition, there were no vegetables and food on the boat, so he grabbed Hexi Town when he got on the shore.
Before leaving, he replaced three cargo ships with passenger ships and allowed his soldiers to board. The other five cargo ships specially loaded horses. At the same time, he finally equipped the shipmen of each ship.
This time, a full-time boatman accelerated his speed even faster. After leaving Beijing, he finally arrived at the dock outside Tianjin Acropolis five days later.
When I arrived at the pier, I saw that there was no one on the pier. The Tianjin Acropolis gate not far away was closed. It seemed that I had received news from Beijing.
Zhu Hongsan originally thought about asking for information in Tianjin, but when he saw that he couldn't even enter the city gate, he even found out that he was not in the news.
There was no way Zhu Hongsan ordered to see any useful materials on the dock, and then go south.
In the past few days, in addition to the arm injuries, Zhu Nishi had recovered and could walk from time to time.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Mai and Miss Chen San became best friends. Zhu Hongsanyi thought nothing was wrong, both of them fell into the world. Both of them were well educated, and they were of the same age, so it was easy to talk about them together.
Zhu Hongsan asked despicable one day: "Wife, Miss San didn't tell you about his and Old Man Feng's room affairs? Then can Old Man Feng still do it?"
When Zhu Mai heard Zhu Hongsan be so obscene, she spat: "Do you think everyone is like you say slutty? Mr. Feng and Miss San are both respectful. They are from London only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."
When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he cursed: "I don't know this old guy yet. He has a slanderous face, but he is actually full of thieves and prostitutes."
Zhu Mai said: "Mr. Feng is not like you, like a livestock, so many times every night."
Hearing this, Zhu Hongsan smiled lewdly and said, "Who said I want it tonight? I will do it now."
Zhu Mai was surprised and said, "Master, it's daytime now."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "I can see clearly during the day. I'll see if your injury is healed?" After that, he rushed to Zhu Mai.
After finishing, Zhu Hongsan thought that if this continued, he would be pregnant without going to Nanjing as a wife.
I also thought that this princess in Jin Yong's book is the one-armed god nun Jiunan. She hasn't played with a nun yet? I don't know what it feels like to shaved her hair and become a pretty one-armed nun. I have time to convince Zhu Ma to give it a try.
It’s so boring to take a boat all the way. It’s not like a sea boat that can see the sea view, but the scenery on the canal is boring. Why don’t you do this every day?
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan got up and looked at his little brother, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, it was made of flesh, otherwise it would have been ground into a needle."
After more than ten days, I finally arrived at Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture, the transfer center of the northern canal on the first day of April.
The Yongji Canal in the northern section of the Grand Canal flows through the current western part of Liaocheng. In the Yuan Dynasty, the ancient canal was renovated relatively largely, especially the Huitong River that runs through the hinterland of Liaocheng. It entered the country from Zhangqiu Town, Yanggu County, passed through Liaocheng, entered the Zhangwei River in Linqing, and was more than 200 miles in Liaocheng.
After the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty dredged and transformed the Huitong River several times, making it a major artery of transportation and economic connection that connects the north and south, and brings hundreds of years of economic and cultural prosperity to Liaocheng.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Hongsan and Feng Ruoshu looked at the large and small ships moored on the pier and the crowds on the shore. Zhu Hongsan said, "I didn't expect that I could see such a grand scene in the dilapidated north. If I didn't know, I thought it was a prosperous era now?"
Feng Ruoshu said: "It seems that the news from the capital has not reached Liaocheng yet. This place has been one of the transportation points for the canal transportation since ancient times. It is understandable that it is so lively."
Zhu Hongsan looked at his boat. He had been desperate for more than ten days and it was time to repair it. Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Hongyi: "Brother, go and inform me and let the brothers get off the boat and rest. Don't go all the way, half and half, leave, keep the on-duty person on the boat."
Zhu Hongsan nodded and went down to make arrangements.
Zhu Hongsan said to Feng Ruoshu: "Liaocheng is really lively. Are you interested in going around the city?"
Feng Ruoshu was also thinking this way and said, "The lord is interested in Feng's walk with him."
The two waited until the boat approached the dock and walked down the springboard. They stayed on the boat for more than ten days, and once again felt good to keep their feet on the ground.
Liaocheng Wharf is divided into large and large wharfs. The large wharf is located on the west bank of Liaocheng Canal. The wharf is twenty meters long and six meters wide, and is in the shape of a "giant". The large wharf is an official wharf. There are many sails and moths here, and it is known as the "Chongwu Lianmu". It is one of the eight scenic spots in Liaocheng.
The small wharf is located on the north bank of the canal about 300 meters east of the big wharf. It is eight meters wide and has a "concave" shape on the plane. It is a private wharf for local wealthy businessmen.
Zhu Hongsan and his boat were parked at the official dock. Opposite the dock was Liaocheng District. Zhu Hongsan and Feng Ruoshu walked for a while to see the local customs.
Zhu Hongsan looked at the sky was already noon, and Zhu Hongsan asked, "Uncle, I like delicious food every time I go to a place. It's just right now for lunch. How about we find a restaurant to taste Shandong food?"
Feng Ruoshu nodded and said, "I am also a gluttonous person."
Zhu Hongsan looked at it, found the largest restaurant and walked in.
When the guy saw a young man and an old man come in, the young man was okay. The old man was dressed in a scholarly outfit. In addition, Old Man Feng had been an official for more than 30 years, he naturally stood there with great might.
The hotel guys all had a pair of clever eyes. When they saw that the old man was the master, they stepped forward and said, "Sir, please invite him at dinner."
Zhu Hongsan was helpless when he was ignored, but he didn't take it seriously. He took out a ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms, slapped it on the counter, and said, "A private room, all the delicious food comes up."
The guy quickly took the two to the private room on the second floor and then went down to prepare meals.
