Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 283 Strong Dragon and Local Snake
Although Gong Zhiming was anxious, but after two days, even if he was not tired, Mr. Wei was always getting old, and Yu Chihui and the others had to eat and rest, so he nodded.

Sister-in-law Wang hurriedly greeted the staff and served the food.The shop happened to have made dough for baking dim sum, and it came in handy right now, so I simply steamed two pots of steamed buns, then went to the opposite shop and knocked on the door, and snatched a few catties of sauced beef that the old shopkeeper wanted to take home. They packed them together and distributed them to the well-fed guards, who carried them behind their backs.

After dinner, after a cup of tea, all the people came out of the city like a gust of wind, just like when they came.The dust brought up by the horseshoes raised the faces of the soldiers who closed the city gate, and they couldn't avoid cursing, but when they heard that these people came from Yunji dim sum shop, they quickly shut their mouths again.

That shop is very famous in the city, firstly because the dim sum is really delicious, secondly because everyone knows that the female shopkeeper and staff of this shop are all retired female soldiers, even those who do menial work are wounded soldiers, Thirdly, and most importantly, the owner behind this shop is the cook that the emperor trusts most.

On the same day, she sent a letter of resettlement to wounded soldiers, which benefited many families.Now this shop is specially opened to give the female soldiers a retreat, so benevolent and meticulous, no one will give a thumbs up after hearing it.This is also the case, after the news of the empress dowager came out, all civil and military officials opposed it, but the common people were happy and willing instead.With such a kind queen, maybe the rich and powerful will feel that they have lost face, but it is a blessing for the common people...

Only [-] miles to the west of Qianzhou City is the Jinhe River, and another [-] miles along the river, it happens to be the famous Liujiaji Wharf of Donghao, where all merchant ships entering the capital have to buy fresh water and transfer goods here, so the small town, It is more prosperous than ordinary cities.

It was already afternoon when Gong Zhiming and his entourage arrived, and because of the hot weather, both the coolies carrying the goods and the merchants were hiding in the thatched shed on the side of the pier to enjoy the shade.Some hard-working hawkers are carrying baskets and selling snacks such as salted beans for those who have money and leisure to drink and earn a few copper coins to support their families.

Seeing such a horse team running from afar, everyone was curious, but the hooligans who had been hanging around here all year round looked at the faces and thought of earning a little "deviant".

So in front of the wharf where the horse team had just arrived, a half-sized boy like a thin monkey ran forward with a basket and shouted loudly, "Guest officer, I have the best salted beans here, do you want to buy some?" Try it?"

Yuchi regretted how he would let such a stranger get close to his master, so he immediately stopped him.But before he could speak, the skinny monkey boy suddenly fell back on the ground, and the basket in his hand flew far away, and finally he started rolling all over the ground, crying, "Oh, I kicked someone to death, foreigners bullied me!" If it's on our heads, the folks will die!"

Before he could finish his words, a dozen or so coolies gathered around them, all with their shirts uncovered, showing their black and red chests, and holding crowbars or even kitchen knives in their hands, shouting in unison, "Who, Who dares to bully our brothers?"

"Yes, get off the horse, get off the horse quickly!"

"I don't even look at this place, I actually bullied me to the door of Lao Tzu's house."

The skinny monkey boy was backed up, howling louder and louder, even tearing off his clothes to reveal the fist-sized cyan marks on his belly, "Look, I'm like selling some beans, and they let the horse kick me. Oh, my intestines are broken I can't live anymore, let them pay for their lives!"

A group of coolies also kept clamoring, "Pay for your life, pay for your life! If you don't pay for your life, you will lose money!"

However, after arguing for a long time, they gradually felt that something was wrong, and then raised their heads to look carefully at the crowd on horseback, and for some reason they shivered in unison.

Hunting geese all day long, this time I am afraid I will be pecked in the eye.Just now, I just watched these people ride tall horses, and they have new faces, like fat sheep ready to be slaughtered.But after looking closely at this moment, I realized some tricks. These people are dressed in ordinary clothes, but the materials and needlework are very good. Each of them has bright eyes, and the figure under the clothes is burly. If you guessed right, it might be... a long knife!

It's over, these are martial arts practitioners, I'm afraid they have kicked the iron plate!

The clever one immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Gentlemen, please spare your lives, and the young ones also want to pay for some wine. I really don't mean to hurt anyone. I beg the nobles to spare you!"

Of course, there are also some stupid ones, who are still juggling the kitchen knives in their hands vigorously. Seeing a few brothers who are usually leading the way kneel down, they are surprised and shout, "What's the matter, brother? There are only a dozen of them, and we are in our twenties." How about the number, you can beat it!"

It's a pity that before the words were finished, Yuchi regretted that he couldn't bear it anymore, raised the whip in his hand and whipped it.

The person who spoke threw the kitchen knife with a scream and rolled to the ground.

Street ruffians are never as good as experienced military generals, just a few encounters, and twenty or so people have turned into gourds, each shouting for mercy.

In the distance, people are used to watching people who are annoying. At first, they thought that it would be the same as in the past, and foreigners would settle with money. After all, when they are away from home, one more thing is worse than one less thing. How could they expect such a big reversal in the plot.So, they also stared in shock, wondering where these foreigners came from.

Yu Chihui reported to Gong Zhiming in a low voice, "Master, these people seem to be ruffians at the dock, why don't you ask them about their market conditions, maybe it can be of some use?"

Gong Zhiming nodded, Yu Chihui jumped down, and picked up the person who knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master, I have urgent matters today, so I don't have time to argue with you, otherwise I will tie you two together and send them to the Lord of Hell together." Be a coolie!"

"Grandpa, please forgive me, you guys don't dare anymore, don't dare!" The man was indeed a good man, he was afraid of being beaten to death, so he quickly expressed his loyalty, "This pier is the most familiar to the younger ones, is the uncle looking for a boat or someone?" , even if you tell the villain, you must do it clearly for the uncle."

"Well, do you have a merchant ship to Dai Viet? If you hire a ship, how much money will it cost?"

"Well, there is a plague in Da Yue, so dare to go without a boat!" When the local ruffian heard about it, Da Yue made a bitter face and didn't dare to lie. "The price of hiring a boat is 300 taels on weekdays, but now I'm afraid it will cost 500 taels to find a boat!"

"Money is not a problem, if you want to be able to set sail immediately, go find it immediately!"

Yuchi Hui pushed the ruffian away, and finally motioned for a guard to follow, and went to look for the boat with him.On the contrary, his remaining dozen or so younger brothers were all detained. It was obvious that he was on guard against what kind of tricks this bastard would come up with.

The local ruffian smiled wryly, he didn't dare to move his mind, and hurried to the thatched shed to ask the various ship owners.

Money can turn ghosts, and money can move people's hearts. I heard that there is a boat fee of 500 taels of silver. A boat owner who had been out of business for half a month because of Jinhe's water supply was finally tempted and took over the business.

The group of people was in a hurry, stayed at the pier for less than half an hour, then boarded the boat and left, leaving everyone behind to look at the gangsters with bruised noses and swollen faces, and couldn't help laughing.Some people who are not afraid of these ruffians joked, "Oh, the heroes of the Jinhe Gang, it doesn't matter if you go out today!"

"Haha, that's right, it's enough to bully some mud-legged people on weekdays. I didn't even look at the origins of those people just now, so I dared to rush over. Don't say anything else, just look at the horse they are riding, which is the best Yili horse in Western Xinjiang. Even if you have silver, you may not be able to buy it!"

"Such a powerful person can't even hide, and you still rush up, you are really looking for a dead end!"

All the gangsters were wounded, and the most important thing was that they lost their face. I am afraid that this pier will not be easy to mess with in the future.

The leading hooligan breathed a sigh of relief now, hearing the ridicule of the crowd, his face started to burn again, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt unwilling.

So he called the skinny monkey boy who failed to touch porcelain to come forward, and whispered something in his ear.

The skinny monkey boy was a little hesitant, wondering why, "Brother, can this work? The water ghosts and the gang have lives in their hands. Let's cheat a little bit and drink a little money. If someone dies, I'm afraid going to jail..."

"Go as soon as you are told, I will take care of you if something goes wrong!"

The local ruffian got annoyed and kicked the skinny monkey boy on the ass.The skinny monkey boy was in pain, so he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he hurried to a small grocery store behind the pier...

Soon, a small boat rushed out from behind the shop, went straight into the water plants on the side of the Jin River, and disappeared without a trace...

After flooding, Jinhe, like a mother who just got angry, has returned to tranquility and gentleness.The blazing sun shines on the river surface, faintly steaming with light water vapor, setting off the steep mountains on both sides of the river, but it is also a unique scenery.

At noon this day, Ding Wei specially made red date porridge for the sick patient Qin Rui, because he didn't dare to smell fishy when drinking soup, so he only cooked two kinds of soy dishes, as well as a plate of twice-cooked pork and a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs .

When he came here earlier, he was the employer and she was the cook, so they couldn't eat at the same table.Now, he is a patient, and she is a doctor and half a friend, so naturally they have the right to be equal.

So, the small table in the front cabin was divided between the two, and Qin Quan took a big bowl and filled it with rice, a few pieces of pork ribs, and vegetables with chopsticks. appearance.

Qin Rui frowned and sniffed the faint smell of boiled fish in the air, Danfeng's eyes were full of pity and annoyance.It's a pity that Ding Wei didn't even look at him, so Qin Rui childishly raised her chopsticks and snatched a piece of meat she liked.

Ding Wei gritted her teeth angrily, and couldn't help but scolded, "You man, how can you revert to a child after committing an old problem once, and be more troublesome than my son? I have to boil the medicine, cook the meal, and act coquettishly at every turn. No girl is as difficult as you!"

"Pfft!" Qin Quan couldn't bear it anymore, spewed out a mouthful of rice, raised his eyes and saw his master's eyes swishing at him with a knife, so he quickly ran out with the bowl in his arms.

Only then did Ding Wei realize that there were other people in the house, and it was a bit impolite to criticize the femininity of the male master in front of the servants, so she quickly put a piece of ribs in Qin Rui's bowl, and complained softly, "When I was wandering, You have been protecting me all the time. Now that you need to see a doctor for detoxification, I will naturally not abandon you. You should stop tossing and changing your prescription all day long. I am still worried that your cold syndrome will recur. Kyoto, the first thing to do is to ask the master to see you!"
