Foster son and husband

Chapter 300
Meiyi patted the brown-red horse and ran fast, thinking that she would not be overtaken by the young man's convoy, so she slowed down. After careful consideration, she asked the innkeeper at the inn last night, and she knew that the Grand Canal Wharf was in front of her. Going to the south of the Yangtze River can save more than half of the journey, and along the way, there are several legendary bustling and lively cities in the south of the Yangtze River. If she wants to have fun, she just wants to go to the pier to see if there is a long way to go. On a big passenger ship, she doesn't want to abandon the brown and red horse, but wants to take it on board. I don't know if it's okay?

Finally came to Dajiang Wharf, Meiyi saw people in military uniforms walking around with many soldiers on the wharf from a distance, and Gordon said in her heart: Oops, I almost forgot that I sneaked out!I couldn't help it for a while, let Xiao Hei report her safety, my father must be worried, and still let people search around, if she is found, she will definitely be sent back to the capital, so what should I do?She has already violated the sacred order, refused to be the prince's side concubine and ran away, so why go back?Is it blocking people?
Meiyi hid behind the bushes and observed the pier. There are countless passenger and cargo ships on the river, and they all need to be checked before they can leave the shore. What should I do?Don't you take a boat?But taking the dry road is also a check. She didn't know how hard she had to go to get to this place. Thinking about it, her head is big. Taking the water road should be smoother and smoother than taking the dry road. There are many benefits, but it must be able to get on the boat, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, she was at a loss. If the officers and soldiers on the pier did not withdraw, she would not dare to approach. If someone had a portrait in his hand, he must know that she was wearing a mask. The two portraits were facing the young people passing by, regardless of gender. Comparing and looking carefully, is it necessary to be so serious?I am so honest, let you find it with the portrait?Meiyi gritted her teeth and thought to herself.

After a while, the horse team transporting the medicinal materials arrived inadvertently, and walked past her. The side window of one carriage had not yet drawn the curtains. Concentrated, as if looking into the boundless distance, he didn't even notice the person in front of him, turned around curiously, wanting to see what he was looking at, and there was nothing behind him except a whole row of black mountains.However, when she turned around, the eyes of the people inside the window were attracted, that handsome face suddenly came alive, with a bright smile on her face, she leaned on the window and shouted courteously to her:

"Brother..."

When Meiyi, as a member of the Xia family's horse team, lay down in Xia Lin's carriage, and he personally bandaged her as a seriously injured person and took her to the merchant ship, she began to think about a question: the young man who was guarding the sunken truck by the side of the road in the morning Do you really need her help?

The merchant ship left the dock smoothly, and wanted to run out of the cabin, Xia Lin hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Qin, wait a while, after passing the small town in front, if no one on the dock calls the fleet to come to the shore for interrogation, then it's not too late to move!"

Kindly glanced at him, and wanted him to help, so he had to show sincerity and exchange names with him, knowing that his name was Xia Lin, and he chose a random name called Qin Li, Xia Lin called Qin Xiongxiong, listen It's even more awkward than that sound of brother.

"My horse is not on board, what should I do? You won't let people sell it?"

Xia Lin smiled: "How could it be? Brother Qin's horse... is a rare BMW. I will have someone take it on a dry road and wait for the opportunity to dye its whole body with other colors. It travels very fast and will catch up at the downstream pier Wait, you will see it then!"

"Thank you, Xia...Young Master Xia!"

After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't call out Brother Xia or something like that, that was too close.

Xia Lin smiled harmlessly: "Brother Qin, you don't have to be polite with your younger brother. My younger brother and Brother Qin hit it off right away. Brother Qin will never give up and help each other out of righteousness. My younger brother should do something for Brother Qin!"

Meiyi couldn't bear it anymore: "Can you stop calling me that? I think the age difference between the two of us is not that big. Please call me by my name. I'll call you by your name too!"

Xia Lin said happily: "Okay...then I will call you Qin Li from now on!"

"Yeah! Xia Lin!"

More than a dozen large merchant ships were loaded with goods, rushed eastward along a river, and finally left the city and market town, and entered the sparsely populated wilderness and high mountains. The beautiful or strange natural scenery makes her amazed and intoxicated.

Xia Lin was inconvenient to move, but he stayed by her side all the time, and didn't ask any questions, but as long as she wanted to know, he would answer seriously.

Pointing to a boat behind him, he said, "Your little red horse got on board yesterday, and it's over there."

"Thank you!"

Xia Lin smiled and said, "Be polite to me again!"

Meiyi looked at these huge merchant ships before and after, and sighed slightly. She grew up in Kyoto, and she could only see such a big ship when she went out of the city and passed the big river. Now she actually got on it, and she felt both fresh and curious:

"Xia Lin, so many merchant ships, are they all loaded with your goods?"

"No, my family's goods only occupy five ships, and the rest belong to other companies. See the word 'Yang' hanging on the mast of that merchant ship? There was a mistake. My uncle is now the head of the family. I took people to pick up medicinal materials in the deep mountains of Mao County. The steward got my aunt’s advice, regardless of other companies’ objections, she insisted on waiting for my return before setting off to return home, otherwise we would have to find another merchant ship, but it would be very troublesome—as long as the officials saw the Yang family name along the way, they would usually not stop them.”

Meiyi lowered her eyes: Is this for her sake?
"I'm curious, why did you ask me to help you yesterday? Obviously I worked very hard, if I couldn't help, wouldn't I be made fun of by you and your guys? Your housekeeper is not lost, he waited patiently on boat……"

Xia Lin hurriedly defended: "You also saw that I really couldn't move, and the family members in the car were all injured... But the housekeeper thought nothing happened, so he ran back to the pier to get the boat ready and waiting, who would have thought that would happen? I see that you have a plan in mind, if you don't say it pitifully, you won't help, it will really take a long time!"

Meiyi blinked her eyes: "You don't look like a bad person, but why do I not believe it?"

Xia Lin stared at her blankly: "Then how do you believe it?"

With a kind smile: "You don't ask me what I do, why do I get on a merchant ship?"

"Why do you ask? You came to the pier because you wanted to go south—this ship is bound for Jiangnan!"

Xia Lin looked at her: "I actually don't believe who you are as a servant. Although you are made of rough clothes, you are too clean, and your behavior and demeanor are not like a servant, and your horse is not an ordinary good horse. That is a good horse from a foreign land in the northwest... There are two portraits of young men on the pier, one of them is you, I have seen it elsewhere, I have always had a good memory, and I recognized you at the first sight!"

"Since you know that I am the one being hunted down, are you still willing to help me? You, what do you think? Just listen to me, I can't escape now!"

Xia Lin hurriedly waved his hands: "Brother Qin, please don't get me wrong! Just as you don't think I'm a bad person, I don't think you are a bad person either. It's impossible for a person who is running for his life to talk and laugh calmly like you, and still have the leisure to share the worries of others. I think, you should be the son of Wang Sungui who ran away from home in anger!"

Meiyi was stunned: "You think so?"

Xia Lin nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

Meiyi leaned on the side of the boat, and now she got up sincerely and bowed to Xia Lin: "Brother Xia is very good at seeing people, it can be said that real people don't show their faces, I admire it! I really have a rift with my family, and I want to go out for a trip alone , The sky is big and the earth is big, if you don’t believe me, there is no place for me! Brother Xia’s great help today, I am very grateful! The younger brother will borrow Brother Xia’s boat to get to Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River. !"

Xia Lin smiled: "What do you say is tiring? Brother is serious! People in the Jianghu look for friendship and opportunities. As you said, when everyone encounters difficulties, if you are willing to help others, you will always get help! Let me tell you the truth, brother, when I saw you, I felt destined to meet you, and I wanted to make friends with you. I know that you want to find a way out. Being alone is prone to accidents. If you invite me to my house in the south of the Yangtze River, you will be safe. You can stay as long as you want!"

"Thank you, Brother Xia! But I still want to go to a place first, I have wanted to go for a long time. If there is a chance, I will visit Brother Xia again!"

Meiyi looked at the surging river, then looked at Xia Lin, and smiled thoughtfully: "It is said that businessmen value profit, but it is not always true. I have met many businessmen who value righteousness, and Brother Xia is the youngest one!"

Xia Lin was a little embarrassed: "I... I'm not actually a businessman!"

"Oh? Isn't Brother Xia a seller of medicinal materials?"

"..."

Suddenly, the boatman watching the wind shouted: "It has just rained heavily ahead, and the rainbow has just appeared. I am afraid that the rain has not cleared up. Is there any cargo on the boat that is not covered? Be careful!"

Meiyi suddenly turned her head and saw a fresh and bright rainbow in the sky. She couldn't help but clapped her hands and shouted:

"Ah! Rainbow! So good!"

Xia Lin broke out in a sweat: As for what?It's just a rainbow, after all, it's a boy pampered in a deep house, so rare and strange!
The fleet went down the river, stopping and going according to the weather conditions and water potential, and it took more than a month to arrive at the Jinling City Wharf.

Meiyi felt that she was really lucky. She met Xia Lin, and with him covering her, the journey went smoothly.The two lived in a rather spacious warehouse, and there was a carved wooden screen between the two beds. Meiyi knew that she should not be too particular about going out, so she didn't take it seriously, not to mention that Xia Lin was gentle, courteous, and very worthy of relying on Although Meiyi doesn't trust him wholeheartedly, she sincerely regards him as a brother. His legs and feet are injured and it is difficult for him to move. When Wangcai doesn't come at night, she will help a little bit, handing water and medicine. Xia Lin is self-disciplined Be careful, never wash and change clothes in front of people, and even avoid Meiyi when taking medicine. Meiyi once thought that he was a little uneasy when he found out that he was a girl, but Wangcai said, the young master has always been like this, so there is nothing strange about it.

She is playful, and every time the boat docks, she always wants to go ashore and go to the market for a walk. Xia Lin doesn't bother with her, and thinks of a way together with her, changing her attire, painting on her face, and getting off the boat to play easily. Anyway, Meiyi wears a mask and draws casually. She just wants to go ashore to broaden her horizons and understand the customs of other places. Xia Lin usually takes a sedan chair to accompany her, and she can also have a good time. There are too many things she wants to buy, and she has bank notes on her body, so she is uncomfortable without spending money. She has not thought of one thing for a while: when she arrives in Jinling, she will go to Lingnan, how to deal with these things?
