Song Huiyue stuffed the whole piece of candy into her mouth and felt how flexible the cake was.
Before, she only ate a little and didn't feel anything, but now she ate too much. The cake seemed to be fighting in her mouth. Her white teeth were blocked from left to right, and she tore and pulled hard. She finally chewed it and choked when she swallowed it.
She straightened her neck and swallowed. After eating, she sighed: "Prince Jin's food is easier to eat."
Zhang Xutang sneered: "You are very picky about your soft food, but Prince Jin's rice bowl is also very hot to serve."
"My hands are stronger than my teeth."
Song Qinghui finally couldn't eat anymore. His cheeks ached and he started to feel sleepy again. He waved to Zhang Xutang: "Thank you, brother, I'm full."
Song Huiyue took out the handkerchief from the bag on his waist and asked him to wipe his face and hands.
The carriage shook all the way and finally reached the pier.
"Second Master, we're here."
Zhang Xutang lifted up the car curtain and jumped out. Outside, the Xiang River was surging, the autumn wind was bleak, and the water had not yet receded. Hundreds of fishing boats were lined up, all moored on the shore. A wave came, and the small and large boats rose and fell with the waves.
The small boat was almost overturned.
Many wine shops and tea shops along the pier have closed their doors, and the boatman doesn't know who they are. The bustling scene during the day is now only desolate.
The warm atmosphere in the carriage disappeared in the cold wind. Song Qinghui was confused and aware of fear, and held Song Huiyue's hand tightly.
Looking at the vast water, a layer of sweat broke out on Song Huiyue's back, and Song Qinghui was heartbroken.
She didn't even dare to speak, fearing that her voice would tremble if she spoke, which made Song Qinghui timid.
Zhang Xutang sent someone to see which passenger terminal boat had a boatman on board. The guard called three terminal boats before calling out three boatmen from an old passenger boat.
This passenger ship is very old, and the bamboo sheds on the bow deck have skylights. Nowadays, there are many shipyards in Tanzhou. New passenger ships can not only enjoy the scenery, but also can be used as a painting boat. The price is relatively cheap. The business of this ship
Very depressed.
"Are you leaving or not?"
"Let's go! Where are you going?" The old boatman got off the platform, "Don't look at my old boat, it's very stable! Look at the strong wind and waves, it won't move at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big wave hit the table, and the old boat swayed three feet high. Everyone immediately felt that the boat was going to fall apart.
The boatman quickly explained: "If the boat is not strong, we would not dare to spend the night on it."
Zhang Xutang nodded: "What you said makes sense, it's up to you. Please give this man a lift -"
He looked at Song Huiyue, took off the silver bag from his waist, and threw it to the boatman: "These are enough to go to Kyoto. When this lady tells you the place, you can send them there."
The boatman took the silver bag and opened it. There were a handful of small silver coins, two large silver coins, and a dozen gold beads as big as broad beans scattered in the middle.
"That's enough!" He grinned, "I will send this man to the ends of the world. Where?"
Zhang Xutang consciously moved out of the way. The wind was already strong on the shore, so when he stepped back a few steps, the only sound left in his ears was the "whirring" sound of the wind, and he could only see Song Huiyue's mouth moving.
"Go to Chenzhou Baohu Pier."
Song Huiyue let go of Song Qinghui's hand: "Qinghui, how to get to Gu's father-in-law's house?"
"Get off the boat from Baohu Pier, find Wangzi at Jinhua Winery, walk to the end, and then walk to Heli Teahouse to eat fish and rice glutinous rice. After finishing the fish and rice glutinous rice, turn left. The third room is Guzhang's father-in-law's house, where you can eat glutinous rice glutinous rice."
"Yes, when you go, tell my father-in-law that my mother is sick, do you understand?"
"Know."
"Can you go alone?"
"I can go."
"Good brother, Yin Xiao is following you. Don't be afraid. If you can't see Yin Xiao, it's because he is hiding."
"He likes to hide the most. I ask him to take me out to play, and he hides."
"Let's go."
Song Qinghui nodded vigorously, turned back three times and followed the boatman onto the deck, stood on the deck and waved excitedly to Song Huiyue: "Come on, sister."
He answered clearly what Song Huiyue said, but he didn't quite understand it in his heart.
However, to his surprise, Song Huiyue stood motionless in the night wind, turning into a sad stone statue.
Song Qinghui felt something was wrong and felt a little panicked. He didn't know what to do, so he could only stubbornly continue to wave and shout: "Sister!"
The boat did not stop due to his shouting, but instead swung far away. In an instant, Song Huiyue turned into a black dot.
The accident made his eyes widen, he started crying, and wanted to jump off the boat and soak in the water to Song Huiyue.
A boatman hugged him from behind and dragged him off the deck. He struggled wildly, and his fear reached the extreme. He called out for his mother-in-law, his sister, and his father again. He fluttered with his hands and feet, as if he had been abandoned. Heart-rending wails.
The howling sound and the cold wind roared into Song Huiyue's ears. Her heart was cut like a knife, she swallowed and held back tears, and clasped her hands together until her joints turned white.
Her face was red, her neck was red, and her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.
When she said goodbye to her father, she didn't have much hatred for the Zhang family. Until today, she really hates Zhang Xutang and the Zhang family.
Zhang Xutang didn't look at her.
He didn't need to look, he could know in his mind what she looked like. She must be gnashing her teeth, trembling with anger all over, trying her best not to lose control, feeling angry, angry and powerless. It was really sad and funny.
He had seen this kind of scene in the young lady of the Dou family, in Magistrate Dou, and in many other people.
so what?
These "anti-Zhang faction" painstaking calculations were not in vain in the end.
He was not going to waste this quarter of an hour on the dock, so he stretched out his hand to call the guard: "Little guard!"
The guard named Xiaowei emerged from the crowd of guards. Song Huiyue just glanced at it at first. After one glance, her pupils shook and she couldn't believe her eyes.
The Xiao Wei in front of him looked exactly like Du Lan.
It's just that Du Lan stands upright and his expression is serious and reserved, but his face and body shape are exactly the same as Du Lan.
Even the clothes they were wearing were almost the same. They were all wrinkled blue shirts with a strong smell of alcohol. At first glance, they looked like they were hungover.
Zhang Xutang patted his shoulder: "It's okay."
Xiao Wei was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xutang's reaction. Suddenly, his expression changed and he became an idle helper. His eyes were floating, his mouth was smiling, and his back was slightly stooped, as if he could never straighten up in his life.
"Second Master, can you do that?"
The tone and voice of the words were almost the same, and it was impossible to tell them apart in this dark night.
"Okay!" Zhang Xutang patted him hard on the shoulder, "Not only the mind, but also the skill, what a boy!"
Xiao Wei laughed heartily, and when Song Huiyue looked at her, it felt like the real Du Lan was standing in front of her, giggling.
He also opened his mouth: "Madam, give me some money to drink, otherwise I will starve to death."
Song Huiyue sneezed horribly, not knowing whether she was cold or frightened.
Zhang Xutang looked at her with a smile: "Are you scared? It's not too late for you to join me now."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and moved his hands and feet: "The King of Jin is old and arrogant. What's good about him? He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
They are all dependent, they are all being treated as a cat or a dog, so why not size up the situation and join the Zhang family?
