Chapter One Thousand and Fifty
Isn’t Chu Qing just in a hurry? He planned to carry the rattan on the boat to find Xiaobao. When he met, he would have to beat him up!
Xiaobao has been away for forty or fifty days, but at least he can't send a letter back?
Chu Qing asked the "Little Gangan" who was staying at home to send a letter to ask about the situation. While anxiously waiting for "Little Gangan" to return, Huang Zhong came to say goodbye to her: "Girl Qing, I have to go back...
On the one hand, I have to go back to celebrate the New Year. My wife has been away for one year, so I will go back to take my children and grandchildren to worship;
On the other hand, I was really worried about my family. The third brother said that he did not persuade his brothers and sisters-in-law... they were all short-sighted, so I guess the third brother didn't persuade him seriously!"
Huang Laosan, who rushed back from Kyoto again, looked embarrassed: "I advised me... If they don't listen, can they blame me? They are my brother and sister-in-law, can I control them?"
Huang Zhong gave him a blank look, but had no intention of scolding him. He took out the money box and handed it to Chu Qing: "Girl, this is the New Year's money I gave to Xiaobao in advance..."
Huang Laosan: "Dad, you..."
"Get out!" Huang Zhong scolded, and then continued to Chu Qing: "I thought about your concerns, and it is very likely that no matter what happens in the end, the child will have to be a little rich and self-financing."
Huang Zhong also understood that Chu Qing was worried that the emperor wanted to recruit Xiaobao as his son-in-law, which was not impossible, and Huang Zhong himself was unwilling to marry the royal family, so he could understand Chu Qing's concerns more.
So he felt that if the emperor really issued an order, it would be impossible to refuse, and the child would have to have enough money to serve as confidence.
After all, the prince-consort is equivalent to a "son-in-law", but it is just allowed to have children and follow their own surnames, so other freedoms are very small.
But if you can refuse, you will inevitably pay a lot of money. Then this money can at least ensure that the mother and mother can live a sufficient life, and it will be a relatively affordable life.
Chu Qing knew the money box in Huang Zhong's hand at a glance. It was a gift box specially customized by the Chu family. Every year when he distributed dividends to Huang Zhong, Master Lu and others, he would give one.
The box is made of about the same size as a city brick, one foot long and half a foot wide, half a foot thick, and the space inside is quite large. You can put silver notes or put a pad on it to fit ginseng, which can do whatever you want.
Produced by Chu Family, it is beautiful and practical.
When he was in Ganzhou Prefecture, he saw Huang Zhong holding this box. Chu Qing didn't take it to heart, thinking that the old man used this box to pack reading glasses and other things.
Now that the box was handed to him, Chu Qing immediately guessed Huang Zhong's intentions - the old man must have stuffed all the silver notes given by Chu Qing over the years.
"Dad!" Chu Qing shouted. This was the first time he was not called "Old Huang" or "Old Master", but instead used a more intimate name: "This is what Xiaobao and I respect you, please keep it."
Instead, he said to Huang Laosan: "Brother Zhaoyan, Xiaobao and I regard my father as a relative, and there is no intention of dragging him down."
He then stuffed the money box back into Huang Zhong's hand, and held Huang Zhong's hand tightly on the box, letting him hold it firmly, and said, "Dad, this is also my blessing and Xiaobao. We have the ability and confidence to respect you every year. At least, there is no problem in thirty or fifty years!"
Huang Laosan looked embarrassed again.
Can Chu Qing be more straightforward? Isn’t it that her relationship with her father has nothing to do with the rest of their Huang family?
Hum? Huang Laosan suddenly thought of something and looked at Chu Qing - it's okay for thirty or fifty years? The meaning is that as long as the old man is alive, there will be every year?
"Ahem, dad, that's that..." Huang Laosan coughed and said, "My sister Chu and her nephew's feelings... Dad, you are too stubborn, don't make people sad..."
Huang Zhong's eyes glared, and Huang Laosan ran away: "Well, I'll go to the cottage...Oh, I've drunk too much water..."
Huang Zhong returned to Beijing, but he couldn't hand over the box of silver notes to Chu Qing - that girl, so honest.
Before leaving, I "revisited" the inspector's censor, saying that Censor Chen was too leisurely and had plenty of time to taste all the food in a place.
So the next day, the inspector and the censor also set out and went wherever he should go.
They all left, and "Little Gan Gan" finally came back, but they came back as they went, which shows that no one was found.
Even if you find other people on the island, you can at least send a message back. So Chu Qing has no way to judge whether "Little Gan Gan" did not find his family on the island or did not arrive on the island at all.
If it were the former, there must have been an unpredictable terrifying incident on the island - either all people died or all people disappeared.
If it is the latter, then there is something wrong with the sea, which makes "Little Gan Gan" unable to fly over, and then it will lose contact with the island.
In either case, it will be a disaster that Chu Qing cannot bear.
Just as Chu Qing was anxious and packed his luggage and was about to go on the road, news came from Changguang Mansion, Haizhou Mansion and Ganzhou Mansion on the same day: Bafeng landed and destroyed the sea salt field in three places.
The reason why the news came on the same day was that Changguangfu was in the southwest of Daxuan, the farthest from Xinlunzhou. Bafeng landed from Changguangfu and headed east along the coast.
There is Fuzhou Prefecture between Changguang Prefecture and Haizhou Prefecture. Because Fuzhou Prefecture is located inside, there are very few coastal parts and no one lives in it, so the impact is not great.
Changguangfu is building a salt farm, Haizhou Prefecture Salt Farm has just started production, while Ganzhou Prefecture Salt Farm is already starting to make profits. These eight winds are coming, and the losses in the first two places are not large, but Ganzhou Prefecture's salt farm has suffered heavy losses - all of them are flooded.
Fortunately, Linyang County has a good geographical location and is not affected much at present in the "Gourd Waist" department.
Chu Qing's fingers slid on the Daxuan map, drawing out the Bafeng's action route, and he was even more worried.
The eight winds head south from the southwest and reach Ganzhou Prefecture. Ganzhou Prefecture is only 300 miles away from the island. Especially Xiaobao's ship will encounter hurricanes on the sea?
The Eight Winds are the verbal name of the Daxuan people for typhoons, which means "wind from all sides", because the wind direction usually comes from the same direction, and the typhoons rotate and move, looking like "wind from all sides".
The written word "The Law" means "The Fear of Wind", which means "the frightening strong wind".
The eight winds usually occur in summer and autumn, and are not often the same as when the scale is large. The records of Daxuan are mostly landed in Hanghe Prefecture and Haiyou Prefecture in the western part of Daxuan.
But now it is winter and it is developing southward along the southwest coastline, so Chu Qing cannot help but worry.
When Chu Qing received the news, he was about to set off to look for Xiaobao immediately, but was stopped by Zhuo Yao: "You wait for two more days, I'm afraid the emperor will have an order!"
The news that Chu Qing received was passed back by his own boy, but the local yamen would inevitably report to the court, and the salt farm was something the emperor valued, so the emperor would inevitably issue an order to Chu Qing.
When you receive the imperial edict and set out again, it will make Chu Qing's disappearance more reasonable.
But Chu Qing didn't want to wait: "It's okay! I'll leave, I'll accept the order for me, and then I will just say that I will rush to the salt farm as soon as I hear the news;
If someone says I haven't seen my trace, I'll say I'm anxious and take a boat to Ganzhou and lose contact when I encounter danger."
