dream of red mansion

Chapter 300 Adoptive Father...

Leaving Mei Jian's room, he wondered if Daiyu was too lazy to go in and disturb her.Thinking of staying on this ship for a long time, I planned to look around to see how the personnel arrangement of the Ministry of Rites was.

At this time, the ship has already lifted anchor, facing the wind of the river, the flags are fluttering.On the two golden ships at the back, neatly and solemnly dressed Jinyi soldiers stood in abundance.

The three ships, one in front and two behind, passed out of the pier neatly and drove on the wide Grand Canal, drawing parallel waves.

The downstairs of the official ship is not as spacious as the upstairs, but there are many rooms, and there are still people busy going between the cabin and the deck at any time.

Director Zheng of the Ministry of Rites, who was giving a lecture in front, saw Jia Qing and immediately greeted him.

"The lower official has seen the imperial envoy."

"You don't have to be busy, I'll just take a look."

Jia Qing waved his hand, not wanting him to follow around like a dog.

"I don't dare to bother you, but I just happen to have something to ask my lord for instructions."

"What's the matter?"

"The lower official heard that the lord did not bring a maid to serve him on this trip, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he specially arranged two maids for the lord..."

Seeing Jia Qing's frown, Chief Zheng immediately said: "My lord, don't misunderstand, they are all innocent people, and they are only serving tea and water for your lord and changing clothes."

Jia Qing heard this, and knew that Master Zheng had thought too much. The Ministry of Rites in the North and South is in charge of the Goulan of the official kilns all over the world, and it is also a common practice to choose some beautiful seedlings from them for reception.He probably thought that Jia Qing hated people of this way, so he explained.

However, Jia Qing didn't know that it was because Qingwen was still on the trip. Although she was serving Daiyu, who couldn't tell that she came here because of him?At this time, taking two maids in the room, I'm afraid she should be broken.

Seeing Jia Qing's brows stretched, Chief Zheng thought he agreed, so he turned around and called the two girls over.Obviously, just now he was helping Jia Qing to train the maid.

Jia Qing glanced over, both of them were good-looking, and they were not very old, one was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other was sixteen or seventeen years old.After taking a closer look, I felt that the younger one was really delicate.

"Let her stay, but I don't have enough rooms above me, let her live in the bottom. Just bring me meals and tea on time...

Well, there are seven people upstairs in me, so let her send the other people's as well.You don't have to ask others to come up, just ask her to come up to pass on the message if you have something to do. "

Jia Qing thought that Zijuan and Qingwen were all pampered, and those who came down to serve tea and ask for water might not be used to it.It just so happened that such a cute little girl was delivered to him, and it was a comforting thing to order her around.

Moreover, this must be a good thing for her.At least, from now on, Chief Zheng will never dare to treat her badly.

Director Zheng was delighted when he saw Jia Qing staring at the girl, and then told her to stay. It seems that this master is easy to serve, and this trip should be smoother.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qing actually used her as a rough servant girl.

However, he didn't dare to have any objection, he nodded his head again and again, and asked the two servant girls to back down.

"Where are Old General Feng and Master Zhao now?"

Seeing Mr. Zheng's careful fawning and serving appearance, Jia Qing asked casually in order to forgive him.

"General Feng and Imperial Physician Zhang are resting in the room, and Mr. Zhao is on the ship behind. My lord has something to say, do you want to send someone to ask Mr. Zhao to come up?"

"No, I'll call you when I have orders. Now you go about your business and don't worry about me."

Seeing that Jia Qing really just wanted to take a look around, Master Zheng pleaded guilty and left.

So Jia Qing continued to wander around the side of the boat, saw Steward Liu, Wang Shun, etc., ordered a few words casually, and went up to the second floor again.

……

"Sister Lin, is she awake?"

Entering Daiyu's room, I saw Zijuan and Qingwen sitting together playing chess, and Xiao Xueyan sitting on the side, with her chin in her hands, watching intently.

In fact, Xueyan is not much younger than Qingwen, but looking at her stupidly, she seems to be several years younger than Qingwen.

"Shh."

Zijuan raised an index finger to her lips, made a silent movement, and then said in a low voice: "Second master, don't make noise, the girl is not awake yet."

Jia Qing said: "Why are you so sleepy?"

With that said, she sat next to Qingwen.

Zijuan sighed and said: "Second Lord, don't you know our young lady's temperament? Don't talk about the day last night, even when you are free, you still can't sleep well night after night."

Jia Qing curled her lips and said: "Then it's your fault, you must be lazy and not serving well."

Rao knew that Jia Qing was deliberately teasing her with a joke, and Zijuan couldn't help feeling angry, but then she turned her eyebrows and said: "Since the second master said that I didn't take care of her well, why don't you come and see often, if I really If the service is not good, the second master can naturally arrange to come over."

Jia Qing said casually: "Change you? Let's forget it. Sister Lin likes you so much. How dare I change you."

Zi Juan chuckled lightly and said, "Second Lord only knows that girls value me, how could we know that our girls..."

"crunch"

Before he finished talking, he heard the sound coming from inside. Jia Qing and others looked up, but there was no movement. Only then did Daiyu turn over.

"Your moves are so bad, let me do it."

Jia Qing saw that since he sat next to him, Qingwen made mistakes again and again, and seeing that she was about to lose, in desperation, she got up, supported Qingwen's body, sat down by herself, and then, still very used to it, pulled her to sit down. on my own leg...

"Giggle."

Zijuan's laughter made Qingwen blush, and she struggled to escape Jia Qing's embrace.

It wasn't until Jia Qing realized that this was not in her own house, she hugged Qingwen and asked her to serve him to eat fruit.

Hmph, laugh if you want to!Jia Qing didn't change his face, picked up the white square chess piece, determined to save face on it!
……

In a restaurant in a small county on the border of Yangzhou.

A hunchbacked old man with a bamboo hat slanted over his head, accompanied by a young man, hurried into it.

When they came to the door of a wing room, the old man lightly knocked on the door four times.

The door opened, but there were only a few women with scarves on their faces and swords around their waists.

"Uncle Hai, how's the situation?"

Seeing the old man, the leading young woman looked happy and asked eagerly.

The old man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a head of white hair on the temples.Handing the bamboo hat to the young man next to him, shaking his head, he said in a deep voice:

"The white thief is very tightly guarded, and the people I arranged have not yet contacted the leader.

But it's not nothing. According to the news they sent back, there should be more than just the leader imprisoned there. "

As soon as the woman heard this, her expression became urgent, and she didn't listen carefully to what she said later, she moved her body and said, "No, I have to save the old man right away."

"madness!!"

The old man shouted loudly, startling everyone.

"You are so reckless, thanks to the leader, you still want to hand over the century-old foundation of our White Lotus Sect to your hands!
Do you want to kill everyone?
Don't you know where it is?
Don't you think that with your number one hundred and ten people, you can force your way in, and then rescue the leader and escape unscathed?

Simply stupid!
For now, the only way is to wait for them to find the leader's location first, and then spread the message.Let's make a plan again, and cooperate with the inside and outside as quickly as possible to rescue the leader and leave quickly.

As long as you reach the sub-rudder, with the prestige of the leader, you will be able to integrate your forces smoothly, combine the strength of each sub-rudder, and return to the main helm to punish the thief in one fell swoop!

This is the only chance to turn defeat into victory, and one step cannot be missed.

I don't want to leave for a long time, so you guys give me a good life to stay here, no special circumstances, don't leave even a step.

Since the last time the white thief was assassinated, I have not given up searching for your whereabouts.If you are discovered by him and affect the safety of the leader, then you will be the biggest sinner of our White Lotus Sect!

Remember it! ! "

The old man's admonition made the woman who said it bluntly burst into tears, feeling all kinds of pain in her heart, but she could only nod with tears in her eyes: "Remember..."

The old man couldn't bear to see it, and was immediately replaced by perseverance.

A small leak will sink a great ship!

Putting on the hat again, he turned and left.

Staring blankly at the disappearing figure of the old man, Wu Xian'er continued to cry, and murmured:
"Father..."
