Two white boats raised their sails and left quickly.
Everyone on the boat let out a long sigh. If this incident were to come out, it would definitely shock the government and the public. At the same time, Dongjiang Town would be in big trouble. I didn’t expect that the second lady was so powerful that she actually let Uncle Dingyuan let go.
Looking at the backs of these two giant ships, everyone was terrified. For such powerful warships, it would be Uncle Dingyuan who had the final say on the sea in the future. Things were going to change on the sea.
Yang Fan could take it up and let it go, but this matter couldn't be dealt with now. Lin Yueru was pregnant, and he didn't dare to let her mood fluctuate, so he simply let it go for now.
Two giant white ships rode the wind and waves and took advantage of the tide to sail directly into the Qiantang River Pier under the city of Hangzhou. They slowly stopped at the wharf.
The surrounding ships, large and small, looked at this huge ship with a total weight of four to five thousand materials in surprise. They all stretched their necks and were amazed.
"Proprietor, I have never seen such a big ship before. It is probably close to catching up with the treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then. And the speed is too scary." A man dressed as a master faced a seventy-year-old man.
said.
"This boat is a bit interesting. This type of boat looks very beautiful. It feels like it can run fast, and its sail seems to be a Western-style boat from Macau. I don't know which company it belongs to.
Shipowner, you actually have such a big ship." The old man put his hands behind his back and nodded.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I can see it clearly. The flag hanging above is Uncle Dingyuan's flag." said a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
This girl is tall and straight, with a height of more than 1.7 meters, long legs and slender waist, willow shoulders and phoenix neck. She has snow-white skin, a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, and long eyelashes. She looks both heroic and charming at the same time.
.
"Qingluan, don't talk nonsense. How can you see clearly from so far away? Uncle Dingyuan is training in the capital and will soon go to Mongolia. Why did he come to Hangzhou?" said a *** next to him.
"Mother, you are looking down on me. I have very good eyesight. I can see clearly that it is Uncle Dingyuan's flag." The girl said unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, Xiaoqing, we will arrive in Hangzhou soon. You have to listen to your mother and don't run around. Grandpa is going to visit some old friends these two days. You two and grandma will
Have a good rest at the inn." The old man said kindly.
"Grandpa, didn't you say you wanted to take Qingluan to the West Lake?" The little girl grabbed the old man's arm and shook it coquettishly.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoqing is obedient. When grandpa comes back, he will take our family to visit the West Lake, hahaha."
"Grandpa, tonight is a full moon, how about we take a night trip to the West Lake?" the little girl said coquettishly.
The old lady also said angrily: "Qing'er, let go quickly, your grandfather's old bones will be shaken to pieces by you."
"Grandma, grandpa is not as miserable as you said. Last year, grandpa even went to measure the height of Mount Tai." The girl named Xiaoqing said with a pout.
"Haha, Xiao Qing'er, you have such a mouth that you won't let me. Whoever marries you in the future will have a hard time with you." The old lady said dotingly, pinching her smiling face with her hands.
The little girl was so ashamed that she turned around and ran behind her mother and said, "Mother, look at grandma, she is so embarrassed."
At this time, on the pier, a rolling shutter door was opened from the side of the big white ship. The springboard was placed on the pier with a bang, and European-style four-wheel carriages drove off the ship. Some cavalry led their horses down the gangplank.
The people around looked at these tall knights and immediately realized that a big shot was coming. They immediately dispersed, gave way, and hurriedly avoided.
Yang Fan and his party went directly to the most expensive courtyard by the West Lake and rented it directly, and settled down here.
Let’s check the steam power system first. After all, this is equipment that is still under experiment. Testing the equipment for this voyage is the first priority. Other activities are incidental.
Yang Fan plans to go to Suzhou to meet Zhang Pu the day after tomorrow. He will settle here first.
Chen Xi stayed here with Yang Fan for two days. When Yang Fan went to Suzhou, she also returned to the ship and continued to test the working conditions of the steam engine and transmission system.
At this time, the imperial capital was already a world of heavy snow, but it was much warmer in the south of the Yangtze River. The mountains in Zhejiang blocked many
Due to the cold air current, the temperature in Hangzhou is much warmer than that in Nanjing. After settling in, Yang Fan became interested after dinner and wanted to go around the West Lake.
Chen Xi was so happy that the master had never taken her out to play. He always accompanied the three ladies on outings. She had always been envious of him.
This time, how could I not go when I had such a good opportunity? I quickly dressed up and put on men's clothes to be a handsome little book boy. Follow Yang Fan and a few people to go around the West Lake.
"As expected, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times," Yang Fan exclaimed. It was dark, and the West Lake was crowded with tourists. Many businesses along the lakeshore were open with red lanterns.
The painted boats on the lake are like stars dotted all over the lake, and the sound of singing girls playing silk and bamboo can be heard.
Yang Fan led Chen Xi and his entourage onto the Broken Bridge. Along the way, there were many docked boats and tourists holding lanterns, which illuminated the path very brightly.
"Master, sir, look at Wushan Mountain in the distance, and that black shadow is Leifeng Pagoda."
Today is a full moon night, and the clear moonlight spreads its brilliance across the earth. The green mountains and Leifeng Pagoda in the distance can also be seen clearly.
Yang Fan looked at the Leifeng Pagoda in the distance and said, "It should be the Leifeng Pagoda that suppressed the White Snake."
"Master, it's a beautiful day, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Please compose a poem." Chen Xi, a young talented girl, said. She looked at Yang Fan with her big eyes.
Yang Fan was sometimes happy and often wrote a poem. When Chen Xi was working in the secretariat, he often saw his wife and second wife acting coquettishly and begging him to write poems. Now, she also demands the same treatment.
The master has a talent for poetry, and the poems he writes are all of a high standard. Chen Xi is a good judge of things. In Yang Fan's inner house, Chen Xi is the one with the highest level of education.
Yang Fan was in the mood today, so he cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and chanted:
"The fallen leaves are like autumn ripples turning to duckweed,
Broken bridge reminds me of the past in the storm.
Don’t ask about White Snake again,
I occasionally care about Xiaoqing."
Chen Xi squinted his starry eyes and praised the poem in his heart. This is the temperament of the master. When others come here and see it, all they think of is the love story between Xu Xian and White Snake.
But the master thought that it was indeed Xiao Qing in The Legend of White Snake and the matchmaker in Romance of the West Chamber. These are people who work silently for the good of the world.
For a moment, I was so moved that I wanted to cry. How kind-hearted the master is. He always has justice, fairness and conscience in his heart. He treats the strong and the weak equally.
"Miss, miss, that young man has composed a poem for you." came the crisp voice of a little girl.
Qingluan's face turned red with embarrassment, and he wished he could cover this silly girl's mouth. He didn't know him, so he was clearly writing poems for White Snake's maid Xiaoqing.
Yang Fan was stunned and stopped pretending to be cool. He turned around and took a closer look. He saw a girl standing opposite with her maid.
Seeing Yang Fan looking at her, he suddenly turned red with embarrassment and spat: "Bah! What are you looking at, you bastard?"
