Chapter 175 The Waterway
But they were still jumping for joy yesterday, looking at this and touching that, everything seemed so novel.But soon the novelty wore off, and some people began to get seasick, vomited in the dark, and became sickly and listless.There is nothing but water outside the window, and if you look at it too much, you will become numb.The three brothers and sisters of the Li family were still full of energy. They ran from the bow to the stern, and from the stern back to the bow, wanting to touch everything. If Qin Lie hadn't stopped him, Baocheng, the second son of the Li family, almost climbed onto the mast .Qin Lie was angry and funny at the same time: "Brother Li doesn't have such a temperament, why do you keep one or two like living monkeys, and you can't calm down for a moment."

He took the two boys from the Li family away to teach him a lesson, and entrusted Yanzi to Xiaodong.Xiaodong dug out the sewing basket and taught her how to do the work.Swallow couldn't calm down, it scratched its head like a needle growing in its buttocks, and looked out from time to time.

"Be careful, be careful of pricking your hands..." Without saying a word, Yanzi groaned, and blood oozes from her white and tender fingers.

"Let me see," Xiaodong wanted to see, Yanzi had already stuffed his finger into his mouth and sucked it: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt. Auntie, can I not learn this?"

"Your brother and the others are writing, do you want to write too?"

Yanzi shook her head with a bitter face, it seemed that writing was more terrifying to her than needlework.

"Why do you do this, there are many people who work at home..."

Xiaodong smiled slightly and ignored her.

For Xiaodong, it is not a bad thing to be able to learn more than one thing.What's more, in the merits of virtue and speech, the merits are still ahead of the capacity.

After Xiaodong said that, Yanzi was curious again: "What is virtue and merit?"

Xiaodong explained with a smile, and Yanzi thought about it carefully: "No one has ever told me about this. But, auntie, do you think this is right?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's not right at all." Swallow said: "I think it should be reversed, and looks should be at the top. When everyone in our family talks about it, they all praise my uncle and I for my vision, saying that my aunt is good-looking, and my aunt is good-looking." You can't do everything with needlework and household chores, but everyone doesn't mention it. Then, auntie, you often go to the palace. The concubines and ladies in the palace rely on good morals and needlework to become concubines? ?”

Xiaodong smiled slightly. Although this child is naughty, he is also very smart.

There are some truths, and she may not understand them now.

Yes, the man said, marry a wife and virtue.How complicated is this word of virtue, family status, various interests, education and virtue should be placed in the back row.With a good wife, a man can also have a wide range of beautiful concubines...

Fortunately, Suizhou is different from the capital city. Yanzi will probably marry a man who does not take concubines in the future.Just like Yao Jinfeng.She married the third prince, so she might not be happy.Married to Li Changhe, although others would say that a flower was inserted on...then what, but the flower itself lived a nourishing and happy life.

People, after all, live for themselves, and only they know the joys and sorrows.

Let's talk about Xiaodong herself, others feel that she was wronged to marry, but she lives for herself, not for others.

Xiaodong was slightly lost in thought, and Yanzi suddenly jumped towards the window: "Who is that man?"

Xiaodong looked outside, Qin Lie and Zhang Ziqian were standing and talking together on the bow of the boat.Of course, it wasn't Qin Lie that Yanzi asked.

Zhang Ziqian was wearing a plain green robe. The wind was strong at the bow of the boat, and the waves splashed, creating a mist of mist.

After all, he was worthy of being the top name in the teaching workshop, Zhang Ziqian's figure looked like a jade tree facing the wind, and his clothes were flowing, as if he was about to ride the wind and leave.

Although he changed back to men's clothing, he spent all those years in the teaching workshop.That is the most important childhood and adolescence in a person's life.No matter how much he tries to hide it, the imprint of Jiaofang on him has already penetrated deep into his bones and cannot be erased no matter what.

Yanzi stared straight at Zhang Ziqian's figure, aura, and expression—maybe he didn't notice it himself, but it all became a kind of instinct of his: at any time and anywhere, he would unconsciously show the most Come on the perfect side.

"That is Mr. Zhang, he lives in Prince An's Mansion."

"Is he a relative of your family?"

"No." Xiaodong thought for a while: "Well, you know that people who are officials will keep some secret agents, literary office, copying, writing, sorting, and miscellaneous for him..."

"Ah, I see, the officials there have masters."

Master Zhang?
Xiaodong suppressed a smile and nodded: "That's right, it's similar to that."

"I thought masters were all thin and thin, with a goatee." Yanzi whispered, "He looks really good-looking."

This little winter admits.

In terms of appearance alone, the people Xiaodong knew were Shen Jing and Zhang Ziqian in a thousand ways.But the temperament of the two is very different.The quiet young man is proud of his literary talents, and naturally exudes a sense of elegance.Zhang Ziqian is usually silent, he tried his best to erase the similarity with Qin Nu, but it would be revealed unconsciously in his gestures.

However, Qin Lie is not inferior.His temperament is tougher and more free and easy, with a kind of calmness and stability that has been carefully polished by time and worldly events, and is slowly accumulated. He is as reliable as a big tree that will never collapse, and can shelter those around him from wind and rain. Protect them from any harm.

Xiaodong has already embroidered half of the flowers, and her embroidery skills can be said to be more than the best. Compared with those who rely on this for a living, like Master Wu Di, Xiaodong's craftsmanship is not enough.But compared to many clan girls, daughters of aristocratic families in the capital, Xiaodong's female celebrity is already very outstanding.At least, among the people Xiaodong is familiar with, no one can embroider better than her.

The two people at the bow probably sensed that someone was watching and turned their heads.

Xiaodong nodded and smiled, Qin Lie also smiled back.Probably feeling that the bow of the ship was windy, the two walked towards this side.

"What are you doing?" Qin Lie smiled and turned his head to look at the bandage on Yanzi's hand.On a piece of fine plain brocade, the threads are tangled and knotted, and the fur is fluffy. If you look left and right, you can't tell what it is.

Look at the one in Xiaodong's hand again, embroidered with a delicate and charming crabapple flower.There are more than half of the flowers, the colors of the petals are different from the inside to the outside, and the thin leaves have been painted on the side.

"What is this for?"

"Well, make a purse." Xiaodong asked: "Where are the two brothers born here?"

"The doors and windows are all locked, and they will not be allowed to come out until they have copied it ten times."

Uh, authoritarian enough.But if you are not aggressive, you can't cure them at all.Take Yanzi as an example, Xiaodong also wants to use embroidery to grind her temper?

"By the way, let's stop at Heqiao at noon. Heqiao's fried chicken and bad fish are very good. I'll send someone to the town to buy some."

"Okay." Xiaodong agreed with a smile, and also looked forward to it.

That's one of the benefits of going out.You can't eat these famous dishes and snacks with specialties at home.

Normally, Yanzi would have clamored that she wanted to eat too, but now she lowered her head and tightly grasped the messily embroidered cloth.She didn't make a sound until Qin Lie and the others left.

Seeing her silent for a long time, Xiaodong was really afraid of arresting her.Seeing her pinching the needle for a while, she always wanted to poke her hand, so she simply took the stretcher over: "Do you want to embroider, or do you want to tattoo on your hand?"

Yanzi blinked, as if she had been wandering in the sky just now, and now she came back to her senses.

"Has the boat stopped?"

It stopped for a while.

Yanzi was embarrassed and wanted to scratch her head, but Xiaodong ordered her hair to be combed into a bun, and she also wore a small pearl flower. When she stretched her hand up, she found that it was not as convenient as before. It can't be scattered.

"Aren't you cooking on the boat at noon?"

"Well, Heqiao has a lot of snacks, try them later."

Swallow looked at the shore through the window. This is a very lively town. There are people busy loading and unloading at the pier, and there are cargo ships and passenger ships docking along the shore in twos and threes.Swallows look at others, and some people look this way.It looked like their boat was for officials and family members, Yanzi was not shy, and when others pointed her way, she stared back.

"Miss Shi?" Hu's voice outside asked: "Miss is not resting in the cabin, why are you here?"

Xiaodong was startled.

Although Shi Xiu was also on this boat, she was placed in the cabin farthest from Xiaodong and Qin Lie, and the aisle in the middle was separated by a wooden fence whether it was intentional or a coincidence.If Shi Xiu wanted to come here, he had to go around in a big circle and come up from the next floor.

"I have something to ask your princess."

Still with that blunt tone, as if Xiaodong owed her.

Mrs. Hu was even more impolite: "Miss Shi has no contact with my princess, nor does she have any friendship. The princess is not someone who says she can meet if she wants to. Miss Shi can tell me if you have something to do. If the princess has time, I can do it for you. Pass it on to the princess."

Yanzi glanced at the cabin door, and then at Xiaodong.

She didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything at all.

Emotionally, she is closer to Sister Shi Xiu.Having known each other for many years, Shi Xiu has always been kind to her.At that time when I heard that Qin Lie had married the prince's daughter in the capital, Sister Shi Xiu was devastated and extremely sad, and Yanzi even complained for her.On the way to the capital, she also felt that if she could help Sister Shi Xiu, she would definitely help.

However, after arriving in the capital, she found that things did not seem to be as Sister Shi Xiu said.Qin Lie had always been polite but indifferent to her, but for this new daughter-in-law, anyone with eyes could see his joy, how could he be a bit reluctant and sad?
But to ask her to help Xiaodong, it seems that I am too sorry for Sister Shi Xiu.Especially since they suffered a lot on the way to the capital, they can be regarded as...well, what adults often say are friends in need, right?
Once the difficulty is over, it is very wrong to not help or ask a friend in need, um, isn't it kind and unrighteous?However, it is not right to help her.

Since nothing is right... Swallow pondered, then do nothing.

She is still honest, lest she will suffer more if no one helps or takes care of her when she returns home.

Shi Xiu outside was not so easy to dismiss, and said in a bad tone: "Get out of the way. I think you are a bit old, don't force me to be rude to you."

Mrs. Hu calmly said, "I respect Miss Shi as a guest, and you have to be polite and considerate."

"What else? Can you still drive me off the boat?"

Uh, studying...

I miss home and my son~0~

Ask for a ticket.
