Chapter 25 Three-faced love (2)

I spent dinner with the queen, put on casual clothes, and went out of the garden again, and arrived at the dream boat next to the dock. For a few days, this was his must-visit every day, but he still had to spend money to board the boat - it was not that he was greedy for his few taels of silver, just for Miss Ruyan to joke with him, and when he saw the painful look he had taken out the silver, he felt funny.

But today is very different from usual. Gan Ziyi looked a little sad. He took out a handful of scattered silver zi and handed it over, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I'm a little thirsty, can I have tea?"

Ruyan didn't bother to joke with him, and sat opposite him as he entered the cabin: "Young master, are you uncomfortable? I think you look bad."

"Ruyan, the young master is leaving."

Ruyan's pretty face was snow-white, and there seemed to be no place for her hands to put them: "Young master is leaving? I don't know what it means to leave? Will you come back in the future?"

"I'm afraid I can't come back." Gan Ziyi restrained her laughter that Ruyan had used to seeing for many days, and said steadily: "To be honest, I'm in the imperial court. After the master rests every day, he can have time to go out here. Today, the master told me that on August 16th, the master will board the train and leave it all the way, and then leave it from Shanghai to return to Beijing."

Ruyan and Sai Xiangjun also guessed that his identity might not be as he said, as merchants and other merchants traveling across the country, but they did not expect that they were actually working in front of the emperor: "If you say this, I will call the prince the master."

"Don't! Isn't it enough to call people the master in the mansion all day long? I came here just to relax my mind. You just pretend that you don't know what was going on and what's going on now, it's the best."

"Yes." Sai Xiangjun agreed, but he did not see Ruyan's answer. He looked back and saw that the latter had a pale face, and his eyes were filled with light, which made him lose his composure: "Ruyan? Ruyan?"

"Ah!" Ruyan wiped her eyes with her hands and forced herself to laugh and got up: "Young master is thirsty, wait a moment, I'll make tea for you."

Gan Ziyi also felt very sorry. In the boat in the dream, when it comes to appearance, it is naturally Saixiangjun's national beauty. If he talks about his love, it is undoubtedly Ruyan. This is not entirely for the girl to always quarrel with him, which makes him very interested. More importantly, when he is with Ruyan, he can always let him go and truly enjoy the happiness that is rare as the emperor. Seeing the girl crying, he thought about it, apologized to Saixiangjun who was sitting, and stood up to chase him.

Bypassing the screen, Ruyan was facing away from him, sitting in front of the water, staring blankly at the burning flames of the charcoal, her shoulders twitched a few times from time to time, and touched her eyes and nose with her hands.

Gan Ziyi sat down beside her, "Ruyan, I am reluctant to part with you, but the official position is not free," he secretly scolded himself for being confused. The girl was not feeling nothing about her friendship. What's the point of saying such official position? She was stunned for a moment.

After a moment of silence, the sound of water in the water clang was roaring, and it seemed that it was open. The two of them reached out to grab it at the same time, "I'll do it!" Gan Ziyi's hand was fast and was about to carry it in his hand. Unexpectedly, Ruyan reached out to him. When he touched it hard, the water clang was crooked and the boiling water inside splashed out: "Ah! So hot!"

Feeling the hot water pouring on his hands, Gan Ziyi quickly stopped. It was too late. The back of his hand and fingers had already been poured on. After a moment, he felt the scorching pain: "Oh, it hurts so much."

Ru Yanfang was in a panic and held the man's hand, forgetting to get the medicine to apply. Looking at the gradually reddened skin, the girl felt sorry for her and started crying: "Young master, does it hurt?"

"It's okay, it hurts a lot, but Jing Ruyan's tears don't hurt much."

"You are, even at this time, don't you forget to joke?" Ruyan suddenly remembered: "Young Master, wait a moment. There is medicine in the cabin. I'll bring it to you."

After a while, Sai Xiangjun and Ruyan turned back together, holding a small red sandalwood box in their hands, opened it, and there was an egg inside: "What is this?"

"This is the medicine." Ruyan said: "This medicine is treasured by my lady for many years, or is it the folk remedy that I heard from a doctor who traveled around the world."

"Okay, folk remedies are used to treat serious illnesses." Gan Ziyi asked, "I don't know what folk remedies it is?"

Saixiangjun explained to him a few words. It turned out that this folk remedy was quite strange. He was to dig an egg into a hole, then grab a gecko that was not long ago, let it drill into the hole, seal the egg hole, and hang it in a cool place. When the gecko is dead and all the yellow and white things in the egg are dry, it will be preserved. It is very effective to treat scalds.

It’s just that eggs are easy to find, but geckos are hard to find. Over the years, Saixiangjun asked the servants on the boat to save less than ten prepared eggs. When taking them, take them out, put them in your hand and smack them, then grind them into powder and apply them to the affected area. Sure enough, Gan Ziyi felt that his hands were extremely cool, and the pain just now was wiped out in one go!

"It's indeed a good method." He said with a smile: "There are doctors in my house, but they have never had such an effect, let alone the smile of Miss Xiangjun and Miss Ruyan, which makes you look so charming."

"You are still a joke after all!" As she said the complaining words, the girl applied powder to him with extremely gentle movements, and tied it with a gauze scarf to him: "Okay."

Gan Ziyi stretched out his palms, but there was no hindrance: "Miss Ruyan is good at craftsmanship. Thank you."

"You have more words to praise me today than you used to add up."

Sai Xiangjun said, "Does the young master's hands still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Since it doesn't hurt, why don't you ask the young master to talk to the cabin."

"Okay, the tea I just didn't drink until I got to my mouth, and it just happened to be dry."

He boiled a pot of water again and brewed a cup of bud tea that he had drank on the first day. Sai Xiangjun personally held it and came to him: "Young Master, I don't know when I will meet again today. I know that the young master is not good at drinking, so I use Xiang Ming as a substitute. Please drink it."

Gan Ziyi came from it, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one drink! "After tomorrow, I will be separated from the two girls. Tonight, I will not go back and have a quiet night chat with Miss Sai and Miss Ruyan. And, I promise, I won't joke tonight."

"The young master wants to have a happy night, and I should accompany you. But I don't know, what does the young master want to talk about?"

"You will say it. I will accompany you, the young master."

Ruyan's eyes rolled, "For many days, I only knew the young master's name, but I didn't know anything else. Why don't you ask the young master to present his family first?"

Gan Ziyi smiled, "Submit his family background? No one has asked me like this!" He nodded: "Okay, I'll just tell you, it's okay. I am indeed from Tianjin, but I grew up in Beijing. Well, my parents have all died, and I have a few younger brothers and sisters in my family, most of whom are still young,..."

"Then, where are the wives and concubines in the mansion?"

Gan Ziyi scratched his head with a wry smile. Since he said that, there was no need to lie to these two girls whom he really liked. "I'm going to hide it from the two girls. I have many wives and concubines in my house, and I have jealous things. But I can still control it."

Ruyan rolled her eyes and looked disdainful. Saixiangjun was afraid that she would say something ugly, so she disturbed the atmosphere of the night's chat, so she rushed to ask, "Then, can you be famous?"

"I'm ashamed! I was naughty back then, and I couldn't study and learn swords. I was almost twenty years old and I still lived a bored life. Later, the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, and then there was a turning point."

"Young Master is close to the emperor? Why not talk to us about the emperor?"

"There is nothing to say, it's just a meat ball on both sides of your shoulders." Seeing the two women's expressions in shock, Gan Ziyi understood in a second thought: "Really, I'm not lying to you. The emperor was born ugly. His fat body, small eyes, and shrunk nose. Hey, no matter how you look, it's hard to be like a king."

Ruyan burst into laughter; "I just said that I won't joke tonight, I know I'm lying."

Gan Ziyi also laughed: "I won't talk about him anymore, I will only talk about the things about the wind and moon tonight, and I won't mention anything else."

"By the way, sir, this time, is it because the emperor is going to patrol by train?"

"Yes, you know this too?"

"Why don't you know? The train masters are spreading the world. When the train was unloaded from the dock, my lady and I were there to see it!" Ruyan smiled playfully, "It really opened my eyes. It's so long... so wide."

Seeing her arms spread out and her gestures randomly, she looked admiring and cute in her expression, Gan Ziyi smiled sincerely: "Better than me. To be honest, I have never seen a train."

"What's so great about seeing? If you can wait for a car to visit, you can only get the capital mentioned to others. If you are outside, who can't?"

Gan Ziyi felt a sudden thought: "Why would I find a way to let you two wait on the train and go and have a look?"

"Young Master isn't joking?"

"No, I am the most serious thing in my life today. There is no one in the car right now. Let's go to the car to take a look while the moon is just right? I will sleep for one night in the carriage where the emperor lives in the future?"

The two girls were shocked by the bold plan he gave him, "It's too late, and how can the imperial objects be... be enjoyed by us?"

"I have served the emperor for many years, and I have worked hard without any credit. If you enjoy it in advance, it won't be a big deal, right?" Gan Ziyi became more and more interested: "How about it? Do you dare to go with me?"

"Let's forget it." Sai Xiangjun and Ruyan were timid after all. "If you don't mention it, you will find out for the emperor, you will find out for the soldiers guarding the car. Such an offensive act would be beheaded!"

"I am close to the emperor. Even if I am guilty, I will be responsible for it. It has nothing to do with you. Let's go and go with me? At that time, as Miss Sai said, will you have a proud gift when talking to people?"

The two women suffocated him and their brains were swelling. They knew in their hearts that if such an adventure was discovered by someone, it was not a common sin, but they wanted to try the shocking touching, "Then, how can we go?"

"We took a boat. We stopped at the station not far ahead, then changed into casual clothes, touched it while it was dark, enjoyed it, and then came back while it was dark, without anyone knowing it?"

"Is that really OK?" Hearing Ruyan's implication, it was obvious that he was thinking about it.

"Why can't it work? Go and get clothes, let's unzip the cables and set off!"

******************************

The locomotives transported by the British were parked in the warehouse next to the Jiangning Wharf for several years. Gui Liang ordered people to cover them all with tarpaulin. More posts were sent at the door to take turns to guard day and night. No matter what kind of officials and people were, they were not allowed to enter the inside to peep. It was not until the emperor received the imperial edict from the southern tour that he led people to uncover the tarpaulin. When he opened it, Gui Liang was stunned.

Although it exists in the warehouse, it is not a sealed place after all. Jiangnan is a place with a lot of moisture. Over the years, many joints of the carriages have been rusted. After Guiliang took people to check one by one, it was found that not only the joints of each carriage, the carpets, ornaments, and dragon beds in the carriages are already dilapidated. In some places, there are even signs of insects eating and rat biting.

How can such a scene be able to get the emperor's dragon eye? So Guiliang hurriedly sent people to modify it from many ways, and replaced what should be replaced and applied paint. It took half a month to recreate the old view. Calculate the day. It was less than two months since the emperor came south. Guiliang was afraid of another accident, so he sent people to guard the warehouse during the day. Once there was any omission, he reported it immediately and solved it immediately.

When the warehouse was built, in order to facilitate transportation, it was not very far from the river bank. I found a dark place and stopped the boat with a slight music. In the eyes of outsiders, I just thought that the flower boat was not in the direction and stopped here randomly.

Gan Ziyi was ahead, followed by two women, quietly got off the boat, and sneaked forward carefully: "Young Master Gan, is this really OK? It's amazing to find it for the soldiers who are watching."

"I have already arrived here, why do you regret it? Think about it, the emperor has never seen anything he has used, so what an amazing feat we have to enjoy first?" Gan Ziyi said randomly, bowing his body and continuing to walk.

"Miss, Mr. Gan, someone is here."

Gan Ziyi looked up and saw that, sure enough, a group of soldiers in front, two of the leaders were approaching with lanterns in their hands. The three of them hurriedly squatted down deeply. Fortunately, the grass and trees around the warehouse were full of flowers, and they could not find a hidden place.

The two girls were uneasy and trembled all over, squatting beside the man, "We...we are so scared, why don't you go back?"

Gan Ziyi felt the two girls' bodies tremble slightly, and was obviously scared. He deliberately told jokes to relieve them: "You have eaten the pipes and oil? Why are you trembling? Look, they are over. Let's go quickly, and you will not be afraid as soon as you enter the warehouse."

"What?"

"I know that these people are ordered by the Governor of Liangjiang, and no one is allowed to enter the warehouse to peek. They are just patrolling outside and being responsible for the on-duty." This time it was not because he lies, but because he learned about Gui Liang's report. He leaned up and looked around and confirmed that there was no one. Gan Ziyi pulled the two women: "Snap faster. Go in with me."

The people in Jiangning City knew that the deposit of the treasury was the imperial use offered by the British to the emperor, so they never dared anyone to disobey the orders of the Governor. They came to spy in the dark night, let alone enjoy it. Therefore, the rotating soldiers lived a very leisurely life, and they just walked a few laps on time every day, then returned to the camp to rest. Unexpectedly, three bold and reckless people came tonight!

When he entered the warehouse, the surroundings were all dark. With the moonlight shot in from outside the warehouse, Gan Ziyi led the two girls to cross the crisscrossing railway tracks on the road, and came to the carriage. He had never been here, and he didn't know which section was the one that should be on. He searched around, raised his toes and looked inside for a moment, and found it for him: "It's this section, this is the living carriage that the emperor will use when he rides in the future. Let's go in."

At this point, Sai Xiangjun and the other two hesitated any longer. When he opened the car door - the British were doing very well, the car door was sliding lightly and silently - he helped him get onto the car.

"Young Master Gan, it's so dark here. You can't see anything!"

"We took great risks in this trip. Once we know, no one or both of you and me will want to live."

Ruyan was shocked, "You're just saying it now?"

Gan Ziyi smiled, "It's nothing, I'm just talking nonsense, but if you want to talk about light, I'm afraid there will be no more. The enemy is dark and I'm bright, so I'll see it for others. How can I do it? Wait for a while, and I'll be able to see it for a while."

The two women waited for a while, and when their eyes could adapt to the darkness in the carriage, they started to take a step. The thick carpet was covered on the ground, and it felt comfortable to step on it. After looking around, the layout was very delicate. There were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. I couldn't see what it was. However, under each picture, there was an extra yellow silk note. Gan Ziyi took the next one, which read: "Slave Gui Liang Gongjie." He smiled and threw it aside.

"Hey? Mr. Gan?" Ruyan lowered her voice and asked, "What is this?"

Gan Ziyi looked back and said, "That was an embroidery pier, probably when the emperor wanted to give the minister a seat."

"No. There seems to be a lid!"

"Is that?" He leaned over and bent down between the two girls: "Oh, I understand, this is the toilet. How about it? Is anyone in a hurry? Let's try it first?"

The two girls were very embarrassed. Gan Ziyi was really unscrupulous. How could he ask about such a topic in his daughter's family? Ruyan glanced at him and walked over to the side. Gan Ziyi helped Sai Xiangjun stand up straight: "Are you still afraid?"

He didn't say it was okay. After this reminder, Sai Xiangjun panicked again for no reason: "Young Master Gan, you have seen the float. Why don't we go back?"

Gan Ziyi smiled and shook his head: "What are you afraid of? The left and right are already here, so why not stay for a while." He held the woman's shoulder with his arms, and the tentacles felt warm. He felt a little moved and a little thought came to his mind, "Xiangjun," he called out in a low voice.
