"Master Lin Fu," the young man in Tsing Yi pushed open the door and entered the cabin, holding a bowl of medicinal soup in his hand, "it's time for you to drink medicine. The boatman will make porridge in a while, and Miss Su also sent half a black bone as a gift."
The chicken came and said it was for you to nourish your body. I asked the boatman to put it in the porridge and cook it together. After eating the porridge, you can have a good rest and stop sitting around all night. You finally escaped, and you can do it again.
If I lose my shape and go back, Mrs. Seven will definitely blame me for not taking good care of her..."
The windows in the cabin were closed, and the cabin was immediately filled with a strong medicinal smell.
Hearing the call from his follower Zhao Neng, Lin Fu trembled and thought to himself: That's right, stop thinking about whether you are Lin Fu or Tan Zong. No matter how reluctant you are, you can only act as a person in this world.
Lin Fu's identity was alive. He subconsciously took the medicine bowl and drank it into his stomach. He took another sip of tea to wash away the bitter taste in his mouth. Then he glanced at Zhao Neng and said, "I understand...
…”
The dusk outside was getting darker, and the door in the cabin was closed, making the light very dark. Zhao Neng took out a candlestick and lit it in a low voice with a low voice before leaving.
There was another continuous sound of the piano coming from the neighboring boat. There was still some time before the boat performance started tonight, and Su Mei had already started to tune the piano in the painting boat.
Lin Fu had no time to listen. There was a sword hanging in the cabin, which was usually only used for decoration. He took it off and pressed the clip on the scabbard. The sword popped out with a "stirrup" sound, reflecting the flickering candlelight. He took a closer look.
Come on, the sword is just ordinary, the edge is not sharp, and there is no sword slot for bleeding.
Lin Fu held his sword and made several slashing and stabbing movements. He had never used a sword before and was not used to it. If he really wanted to use force to kill someone, it would be worse than using a 20 to 30 centimeter long boning knife. He had been using it these days.
I peeked at Fu Qinghe teaching his two apprentices to practice martial arts at the stern of the boat. Fu Qinghe is a famous martial arts master in Jiangning. Looking at his stance, you can tell that there is no such thing as the legendary martial arts of a thousand enemies in this world. The fighting stance is similar to
The later generations in his memory were similar, but in fact they were not as simple and practical as the later generations. Lin Fu judged that if his physical strength could keep up, there would be no problem even if he was facing Fu Qinghe's two apprentices head-on.
Lin Fu was not used to using the sword, but he felt that his arms still had some strength and his physical strength was quite good. He was not the kind of weak and useless scholar.
Although he is a child of the Lin family, a wealthy family in Dongyang Prefecture, Jiangdong County, he is just an ordinary side branch child, and his parents died early. Lin Fu's deceased mother was the maid of Gu Yingxiu's mother, the seventh concubine of Lin Tingxun, the head of the Lin family, and was also Gu Yingxiu's mother.
Nanny. After Gu Yingxiu married Lin Tingxun and became the seventh concubine, Lin Fu was taken care of by the family because of this relationship. Although he no longer had to work as hard as before, he still had to work hard to make a living - it was also after he passed the examination to become a scholar.
Only then was he qualified to receive a small amount of monthly silver from his family to concentrate on his studies; the accompanying servant Zhao Neng was sent by his seventh concubine Gu Yingxiu to take care of him when he went to Jianye to take the exam.
Lin Fu thought of the seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, with a wry smile on his lips: Gu Yingxiu was only seven years older than him. It can be said that both he and Gu Yingxiu were raised by his mother.
Lin Tingxun, who was already in her fifties at that time, took her as a concubine. Lin Fu was afraid that she would still call her sister Yingxiu at this time. Lin Fu's first sexual dream was when Gu Yingxiu fell into the dream. This also made Lin Fu, who was cowardly by nature, value or fear etiquette.
Lin Fu was extremely afraid of meeting Gu Yingxiu in the future. On the other hand, Gu Yingxiu had a weak and meek temperament before marrying Lin Tingxun. After marrying Lin Tingxun as a concubine, her temperament became extremely strong, and she even interfered forcefully beyond her duties as a wife and concubine.
Family affairs naturally made Lin Fu, who was weak by nature, feel even more unable to hold his head high in front of Gu Yingxiu.
Although Su Mei is more bright and beautiful than Gu Yingxiu, there are still some similarities. This is probably the reason why Lin Fu fell deeply in love with Su Mei when he first saw her and couldn't extricate himself.
Lin Fu shook his head slightly and sighed. In his previous life, Tan Zong was shot to death because of a prostitute who helped the police fish for fish. In this life, Lin Fu is obsessed with a music singer. What the hell is going on? He might as well go home and seduce her.
The young and beautiful Seventh Lady has a future - I can only think about happiness in my heart, knowing that in this world with extremely strict etiquette, the ending will be even more miserable if this kind of thing is exposed. But there are no absolutes in everything, and Emperor Taizong of this dynasty is not
Openly naming your brother and sister-in-law as Jieyu and bringing them into the harem? No one dares to risk their heads to speak out and make irresponsible remarks.
"My young master asked me to thank your girl." At this time, the sound of Zhao Neng talking to someone else came from outside.
"If you really want to thank me, you might as well disappear from your eyes quickly; if you really want a master to drown, my young lady may also be drowned by others' saliva when she returns to Jiangning... You should also give more advice to your young master.
." It was a crisp and tender voice. Lin Zongbao had the feeling that he had dialed a mobile phone information station in his previous life and listened to people talking. She was Su Mei's personal maid Xiaoman. To him, Xiaoman was just lucky enough to pass the imperial examination, and his family background was quite similar.
Ordinary people are extremely disgusted with her young lady's unscrupulous stalking, and they don't have a good look when they see her.
The fourteen-year-old little loli really didn't make people feel cute. Lin Fu shook his head and sighed after hearing Xiaoman's words in the cabin.
"After he passed the exam, his temper got worse. How could I, a follower, persuade him?" Zhao Neng said helplessly outside the cabin, his tone not concealing his inner dissatisfaction.
Lin Fu just smiled after hearing this, thinking that Zhao Neng was telling him this on purpose.
Zhao Neng is the son of the Lin family. Three generations of his Zhao family have been servants to the Lin family. Due to the strict personal dependence relationship in today's society, the son of the family can get more trust and importance from the master's family. Before Lin Fu passed the scholar examination, he was in the Lin family
His status is far inferior to that of his son Zhao Neng.
When Zhao Neng was fourteen or fifteen years old, he followed Lin Tingxun, the head of the Lin family, and waited for orders. Although he was a little thin this year, he was a bit thin, but he was an astute governor. Then he was dispatched by the seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, to serve Lin Fu in his exams - Zhao
I could somewhat complain about this arrangement, but I didn't dare to offend the Seventh Lady, and I didn't want to see Lin Fu along the way.
Zhao Neng did not expect that Lin Fu was so unlucky that he got into high school in this provincial examination. If he passed the examination, he would be qualified to be an official. With the power of the Lin family, Lin Fu would definitely be able to be a small official in the county government. Thinking of Lin Fu
In the future, his status in the Lin family will be different again, so Zhao Neng's attitude changed slightly. In the past, he would never call him "Master Lin Fu"; of course, the resentment behind his back has not disappeared much.
Lin Fu made up his mind to leave Baisha County tomorrow and let Su Mei become a passing cloud in his memory. He thought that he would take more care of her these days, including sending doctors and medicines, and also helping with food and clothing.
He couldn't leave without saying a word, and besides, he couldn't let Zhao Neng, a bitch slave, continue to criticize and criticize Huai outside. Lin Fu threw the sword on the table, opened the hatch and walked out. He saw Su Mei's maid, Xiaoman, Xiaomanzheng.
Leaning half of his body against the side of the boat to talk to Zhao Neng, he said to her: "Please tell Miss Su that Lin Fu has caused her a lot of trouble these days. He plans to sail back to Dongyang tomorrow morning in a small boat. Thank you very much for these days."
She cares..."
"Yeah!" Su Mei's maid, Xiaoman, was startled when Lin Fu suddenly came out. Lin Fu didn't wait for Su Mei's maid to reply to him, but turned to Zhao Neng and shouted in a deep voice, "Stop chewing your tongue.
I can't kill you! What do you mean my temper is getting worse?"
Along the way, Zhao Neng had never given such harsh words to Lin Fu. When he suddenly scolded him, a wave of evil energy rushed straight to his forehead. Just as he was about to do it, he saw Lin Fu staring at him in the dusk with a cold look that was different from before.
Same, he was stunned for a while, and finally understood in his heart that Lin Fu was the master outside, and he was the servant. Besides, Lin Fu was different from the past when he passed the exam. On the day when the results of the provincial examination were released, the person in charge of the Lin family in Jiangning specially sent 20 silver to spend.
——Zhao Neng suppressed the evil hatred in his heart, but he could not erase the shame of being scolded in front of Su Mei's maid Xiaoman. His neck turned red, and he stood there not knowing how to react.
Lin Fu's words were full of insinuations, and he was criticizing Sang and Huai. Su Mei's maid Xiaoman's face was also burning. She always knew that she and Zhao Neng were talking nonsense behind her back, and she thought to herself: When will this useless soft-legged shrimp
Do you have the guts to teach someone a lesson? You originally wanted to ridicule him, but how can you find it boring now? You just said: "I will tell my young lady to know..."
"I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Man..." Lin Fu handed over his hands to write, and watched Su Mei's maid Xiao Man enter the cabin to report back. The little girl looked back before entering the cabin, her little face as white as jade in the dusk, still childish.
She took off her clothes, her dark eyes were like shining stars in the dark place, her skin was white and tender, and her facial features were delicate and flawless. She was such a beauty. No wonder Zhao Neng was happy to chat with her here? I guess she also liked to hear Zhao Neng's confession.
Resentment towards him is as easy to resonate with as sharing the same hatred.
Lin Fu waited for the answer at the bow of the ship. Zhao Neng was angry but could not leave without turning his back. He stood aside with a dark face without saying a word. After a while, Su Mei's maid Xiao Man came back with a brocade handkerchief in her hand.
With a small baggage, she leaned against the side of the boat and said to Lin Fu: "The boat is about to sail today. My lady is still bathing and changing clothes, so it is inconvenient to come out to say goodbye to Mr. Lin. There are some silver coins here to prepare for the journey. I hope Mr. Lin will not postpone it.
..." She spoke in a soft voice, with no expression on her face, as if she was mechanically repeating Su Mei's original journey. Presumably, she was unwilling to let her young lady finance Lin Fu's return home.
After Lin Fu took the provincial examination for high school, the shopkeeper of the Lin family's business in Jiangning sent him twenty taels of silver to help fund the business. After nearly a month of squandering, even if there was still some leftover, it was still in Zhao Neng's hands. Such evil servants must be taught a lesson.
You can't let him threaten you with money. Lin Fu didn't show hypocrisy and politeness. He took the money and said a little lightly, "Miss Xiaoman, please tell me that Lin Fu thanked Miss Su..." He thought to himself that Su Mei didn't
Naturally, she was willing to come out to say goodbye, not because she was taking a bath and changing clothes, but probably because she didn't want to continue to fantasize about her. Giving away travel expenses was also her usual generosity to down-and-out scholars - Lin Fu looked at the last touch of the western sky.
The girl's fragrant lips were still red, and she thought to herself at this time, wasn't she a scholar in extreme poverty?
At this moment, the sound of "Dede" horse hooves came, and a dozen tall horses came running along the river embankment. In the dusk, the faces of the riders could not be distinguished. In the blink of an eye, they were nearby, and more than a dozen horses were either green or yellow or yellow.
Flowers were crowded on the shore of the ferry. Xiaoman, Su Mei's maid, had sharp eyes and called out in a sweet voice: "Master Du, why is it a moment earlier than usual? I will ask someone to put down the ladder right away."
"I rode a fast horse for a while on the road, and I was a moment early before I realized it." The middle-aged man got off his horse and answered Su Mei's maid Xiaoman while handing the horse over to his entourage without waiting for the boatman on the boat to lift the ladder.
He put it down and jumped onto the bow of the black-peng boat. He was very agile, wearing a green-breasted short robe, with a short mustache on his lips and no beard on his chin. He was Du Rong, a big businessman in Jiangning and a wealthy businessman from Qingfeng Bank. Du Rong jumped on.
The boatman saw Lin Fu standing on the bow and asked in surprise, "Master Lin finally showed up today! Why, do you want to go on the boat to listen to Miss Su's music?" He touched his arms and spread his arms again.
He opened his hand and said, "I don't have any silver to give you. Mr. Lin is very handy, so you might as well climb to the top of the boat and listen to the music. Be careful not to fall into the water again..." He laughed loudly and jumped onto the boat.
In order to provide disaster relief, Su Mei set up a rule to stop a boat and perform a performance here. The payment for boarding the boat was ten taels of silver, and the reward after that was optional.
After Lin Fu passed the scholar examination, he could only receive six taels of silver from his clan every month. Ten taels of silver was definitely a huge sum of money for an ordinary family. Like a boatman on a boat, he only had three or four taels of silver after working hard for a year.
, an income of three to four thousand yuan.
The small brocade handkerchief in Lin Fu's hand was a little heavy, containing almost ten taels of silver. No matter how thick-skinned he was, could he use the travel expenses given by Su Mei as boat money?
Su Mei's maid Xiaoman followed Du Rong to please her and said: "Master Du, you don't know, Mr. Lin just said that he will leave Baisha County tomorrow morning, and my girl gave him some silver coins to pay for his journey...
"
"Miss Su, what do you do with such a waste?"
Du Rongyou suppressed his voice, but his voice still reached Lin Fu's ears clearly. Su Mei's maid Xiaoman happened to turn around and glance at Lin Fu; Zhao Neng's mouth seemed to be relieved by Du Rong at this time.
Showing a hint of cold eyes and disdain.
Fu Qinghe was leading his two apprentices to instruct the boatmen to light the lanterns under the overhanging eaves on both sides of the boat. Du Rong cupped his hands towards him and said, "Master Fu is busy..." Fu Qinghe didn't like Du Rong very much and nodded coldly.
Even as a greeting, he just pretended not to hear Du Rong's harsh words.
Du Rong usually treated people with great generosity. He was a well-known wealthy businessman in Jiangning and Weiyang. Perhaps it was because Lin Fu's persistent stalking of Su Mei made him feel disgusted that he treated Su Mei harshly.
In the past, even if Lin Fu was cowardly and didn't dare to retort, he would feel humiliated and embarrassed. At this time, he didn't feel anything. He just stared calmly at the back of Du Rong who jumped on the boat, and then looked at those people.
Du Rong's entourage stayed on the shore. More than ten men were wearing short casual boots, carrying knives or swords at their waists, and all had weapons. Some tied their horses to the willows on the shore, and some negotiated with the boatmen on the shore to borrow a place on the boat to rest;
There was a man squatting by the water and washing his face with water. Lin Fu suddenly saw his clothes turned up to reveal a corner of the leather armor underneath. He was shocked: the territory of Weiyang Mansion is still peaceful, even if there are occasional banditry, Du Rong ran over and listened.
Qu, there is no need for the guards to be unarmed and ready, right?
In recent years, banditry has been serious in various places, and businessmen and travelers have recruited private escorts. Although it is contrary to the imperial system, various places have turned a blind eye. In some places, wealthy families have even organized private armies under the pretext of banditry, but the imperial court has not been able to restrain it.
- Du Rong is still a businessman after all, so having more than a dozen bodyguards carrying weapons is already against the rules. To wear armor openly again is really arrogant to the extreme.
Du Rong's guard noticed the way Lin Fu looked at him, so he just turned down his clothes to cover his leather armor, then turned and walked away.
Lin Fu thought that the rumors outside that Du Rong was originally a pirate, and after landing ashore and selling private salt, then switched to the silk industry, were probably true; he didn't think much about it, the boatman brought the cooked chicken porridge,
He took it and entered the cabin.
As the leader of the six most famous prostitutes in Jiangning, Su Mei was very popular in performing performances for disaster relief in Weiyang Baisha County. Lin Fu kept hearing the sound of horseshoe ruts in the cabin of the boat, stopping at the ferry, and some people were sitting in light sedans.
Come here; put the ladder on the shore from the painted boat, so that the wealthy merchants and distinguished guests don't have to borrow their feet from the awning boat to jump over.
It was getting dark. Lin Fu heard several men boarding the ship in the cabin. He opened the curtain and took a look. Zhao Neng and three strange men were sitting on the bow deck chatting and laughing. The three men brought food.
The box came on the boat, and he was bringing out side dishes and two small jars of wine. When he saw Lin Fu looking over his head, a man said: "We can't afford the money to go on the boat. Thank you Mr. Lin for borrowing the place... Let's have a drink together?"
If you can't afford the money to go on the boat, but still want to listen to Su Mei singing and playing the piano, it is most convenient to go on a light boat next to the boat.
Lin Fu thought that Zhao Neng had asked people to board the boat without authorization, and said with his hands, "I have just recovered, so I can't drink. Please treat yourself as a guest..."
At this time, there were still people on the shore who wanted to get on the boat, but the man refused and said, "Come on, let me drink for you, or not? The bow of the boat is too small, and it can't accommodate many people..."
Lin Fu thought to himself: Why did this man act as the master here? Although he was unhappy, he didn't want to give Zhao Neng a chance to borrow the power of an outsider. Besides, he saw that there seemed to be such guests on other ships bringing wine and food aboard, and he went on board without saying a word.
He retreated to the cabin and bolted the door.
At night, the music of a musical instrument came from a neighboring ship. Su Mei seemed to have asked her maid Xiaoman to try out the childish music for the first time in front of the guests. Listening to the soft and soft tunes, Lin Fu took a general history book "Spring and Autumn Tongjian" and was a little distracted.
Can't see in.
Although he can only live as Lin Fu, he still subconsciously regards himself as Tan Zhong in the future generations in the dream, thinking about the problem like this: except for the five chaotic China after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the past six to seven hundred years are not the history he is familiar with.
——There were no Southern and Northern Dynasties, nor Sui and Tang Dynasties. He was not very familiar with the historical details. Looking at the general history, the Five Husties disrupted China, which was a great chaos that lasted for a hundred years. The empire that unified the world after the Five Husties disrupted China was Yan. Yan continued the country for only a hundred years and overthrew it.
Yan is Chen.
History has been messed up, and Lin Fu can only accept it completely. Today, the Chen Dynasty has also been wiped out. Yuan Tuo, the Taizu of this dynasty, was originally a descendant of the Yuan family in Shangyang, Huainan. In the troubled times at the end of the previous dynasty, the official worshiped Jiangdong
It has been two hundred years since Emperor Taizu Yuan Tuo, the emperor of Taizu, established the Dai Viet Empire based on Giang Ninh House.
When Taizu proclaimed himself emperor in the early Yuan Dynasty, he established his capital in Jiangning. In order to resist the foreign tribes from the north, Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Yanshan Prefecture in Hebei Province and changed its name to Yanjing. He also used Jiangning as his capital and then called it Nanjing. This is exactly what later generations remember.
Nanjing coincides.
Lin Fu flipped through the general history book "Spring and Autumn Tongjian" and couldn't figure out this unfamiliar history for a while. Because there is no AD chronology, and the emperor's chronology recorded in the history books is a bit complicated, he can only roughly estimate that it was almost the same at this time.
In the early years of the Song Dynasty. Due to the rule of three unfamiliar dynasties, the political, economic and military situation were completely different from the early years of the Song Dynasty in his vague memory.
I don't know when, listening to the sound, the guests left the boat and dispersed one after another. I also heard the sound of Du Rong saying goodbye on the shore and riding away with everyone.
The three men who boarded the boat to borrow a place to listen to the music were still in high spirits and continued to invite Zhao Neng and the boatman to have a drink at the bow of the boat. They also looked after Lin Fu and said that the laughter was quite small. Lin Fu was not a person who ruined other people's interest.
I had to rush to tell the boatman to set off for a long journey tomorrow, so I took off my clothes and blew out the candles and went to bed to rest.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, Lin Fu heard some strange noises outside the cabin. He sat up alertly. The more he heard, the more something was wrong. He carefully leaned against the crack of the wooden door of the cabin and looked out. He was shocked when he saw the two people who had gone on the boat to drink.
There were two men standing at the bow of the boat. One held a knife and pressed it on Zhao Neng's neck. Another held a knife and forced the boatman to untie the cable. The other was missing.
