3. I give my sister a hand guide

Third, I'll give my sister a hand guide

The boat that Zhou Xuan was riding was eight feet long. It was a new building ship that Fenghua Protectorate used watertight compartment and nail jointing techniques. It was strong and stable. Even if it hit the reef and was hit hard, it would not sink easily. It could hang four sails and sail against the wind. There were more than 30 sailors, and the boat was quite comfortable. It was similar to a small house, and there were also a stable. It was kept two horses. The white-nosed mule, which was also carried on the boat.

Zhou Xuan looked at the two little wives who saw him off in the cold wind on the river bank, and felt very reluctant, but now he could not bring them all to the capital. He always had to have a foothold first. At most, as long as half a year or as little as four months, he should be able to make a fortune in the capital, and then take Que'er and Needle to the capital. Needle naturally operates "Yunshang Women's Clothing". As for Que'er, I have to find a job for her in the Imperial Medical Office in the Beijing City.

The sails were blowing faster and faster. The person who saw off the boat on the shore was already confused. Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered that Yang Xiaopin did not come to see him off. This taciturn young beauty really made him unable to understand!

The large ship sailed east along the river, and could sail nearly two or three hundred miles a day and one night, which was much faster than going to Jinling by land. However, on the third day of the first lunar month, the fleet sailed for more than 40 miles. Just after passing the mouth of the Poyang Lake, the leading ship slowly moored by the river. Zhouzi shouted, and the other ships stopped.

The big boat that the judge Fan of the Protectorate and the Lin sisters took was placed down a small sampan, and the two boats rowed towards the boat that Zhou Xuan was riding, and came under the boat and shouted: "Young Master Zhou-Young Master Zhou-Young Master Fan, please go over and have important matters to discuss."

Zhou Xuan then went down to the small sampan, rowed to the side of the big boat, and took a hanging basket to the big boat. Lin Heishan and Judge Fan came up. Judge Fan said, "Mr. Zhou, the lower lord is not considerate, but he didn't expect the young lady to be seasick. Originally, such a big boat was as stable as flat ground, and generally would not be seasick. The young lady usually came and went on a carriage, but she didn't see her motion sickness. She didn't expect that she would feel so faint as soon as she got on the boat. Some Zhouzi said that fried ginger soup can cure boatsickness. The lower lord urgently ordered the chef to serve ginger soup, but the young lady didn't like to eat ginger and refused to eat it. Mr. Zhou's wife is a goddess doctor. Mr. Zhou is influenced by her. I guess there is another good way."

In fact, Judge Fan knew that Miss Lin was very jealous of Zhou Xuanqing and asked him to persuade Miss Lin to drink ginger soup. This itinerary could not be delayed.

The large ship of the Protectorate is even more luxurious, more than twenty feet long and seven feet wide. The ship is like a street and alley, divided into four houses. The house where the two sisters of the Lin family live is the most luxurious, with carved beams and painted buildings, red felt paving the floor, and maids traveling, just like the scene of the Protectorate.

The two pretty maids Jianyue and Mingfeng from "Jiunan Mountain House" came forward and frowned and said, "Young Master Zhou, come and see, my fairy is suffering, your master thinks of a way."

The two pretty maids took Zhou Xuan straight into the boudoir. The boudoir was warm and sweet. Fairy Jingyi sat half and half lying on a Xiangfei couch. Lin Hanyun was rubbing her vest lightly. Seeing Zhou Xuan coming in, she quickly sat up straight and called out: "Young Master Zhou——" She felt that she was about to vomit, so she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

Lin Hanyun pouted and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, look at my sister who is so uncomfortable, and she refuses to drink ginger soup. Please advise her."

Zhou Xuan looked at Fairy Jingyi's delicate appearance and couldn't help but think of the sewing needle that was pregnant. His thoughts were a little evil: "Who made the fairy pregnant?" This joking thought flashed through, and he knew that Fairy Jingyi must be seasick, and said: "Sister Daoyun, drinking ginger soup is the most effective. If you don't drink it, it won't be good. People feel uncomfortable-"

When the boat stopped, Fairy Jingyi felt more comfortable and said, "I really can't drink it. The girl said that she didn't eat any ginger since she was a child, and she would vomit when she smelled the smell."

Zhou Xuan said: "Then try opening the window, breathe and see the river bank."

The maid pushed open the wooden window, and a cold wind poured in. Lin Hanyun's neck shrank: "Wow, it's so cold!" He quickly put on the sable fur, and the maid Mingfeng also quickly put on the fur coat for Fairy Jingyi.

Fairy Jingyi leaned against the window railing, looking at the snow on the river bank, and said, "Well, I feel more comfortable like this."

Zhou Xuan said: "But it's a cold day, so you can't even breathe the wind. The boat won't get dizzy, but it catches a cold again."

Fairy Jingyi felt accused of complaining when she heard Zhou Xuan’s tone, and her mood suddenly became very dark and said lightly: “That female road is on the shore and take a bus back to Jiangzhou. Don’t delay your trip.”

Lin Hanyun shouted, "How can this work? My sister must accompany me to Xijing. I heard from my disciples that Xijing is very fun and has everything to play with."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "What sister Daoyun said? Isn't it just a Lantern Festival chess battle? I can't catch up with the chess battle. I just don't participate. I have to travel with my sister and go to Jinling together. However, I have a way to cure seasickness without eating ginger. I saw it in my father-in-law's medical book. I wonder if my sister is willing to try it?"

Fairy Jingyi was ashamed of the angry words just now and quickly said, "That's great, the female Taoist will naturally try."

Zhou Xuan asked the two maids to close the window and exit first, leaving Lin Hanyun here, and then said: "This is a kind of hand-guided surgery. Massage the two acupoints of "Jiuwei" and "Li Dui" can cure motion sickness and seasickness. Let Hanyun's sister press these two acupoints on her sister to try." Hey, she thought to herself: "The ancients were too ambiguous, just massage it, and she had to call hand-guided surgery. Hehe, hand-guided, it's easy for me to think wrong."

The ignorant Lin Hanyun said: "I don't know how to recognize the acupoints, Brother Zhou Xuan should do it."

Fairy Jingyi said anxiously: "Hanyun, come."

Seeing that his sister was anxious, Lin Hanyun suddenly became aware of it and said with a smile: "Sister, Zhou Xuan is also your brother. He is now acting as a doctor. Doctors don't have to be afraid of anything for patients to treat diseases. It's not good to avoid medical treatment, sister."

Fairy Jingyi was both ashamed and anxious, and acted as a gesture, "Let's say it again, my sister beat you."

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give my sister a hand guide - Brother Zhou Xuan said, where are the two acupoints?"

Zhou Xuan said: "First press the 'Lidu Point'. The 'Lidu Point' is half an inch outside the base of the second toe, clamp it with your thumb and index finger. Each time you rub it for about one breath, repeat it ten times."

After hearing this, Lin Hanyun took off his sister's embroidery shoes without saying a word and took off her white cloth socks—

Zhou Xuan moved the brazier closer to prevent Fairy Jingyi from getting cold.

Fairy Jingyi's two snow-white slender feet were exposed under Zhou Xuan's nose. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't let Zhou Xuan go out. He was a doctor!

Lin Hanyun pinched his sister's toes, deliberately not pinching the correct part, and asked, "Is Brother Zhou Xuan here? What, no! Is that here? No, why is this hand-guided? Brother Zhou Xuan should come and help my sister hand-guided."

Fairy Jingyi quickly curled her feet, curled her legs like a mermaid, and said, "If you don't work hard, I will do it yourself."

Fairy Jingyi is no longer called "Young Master Zhou", but she changed her words to "Die Xuan". The subtle psychology is really hard to think about.

Zhou Xuan looked at Fairy Jingyi's beautiful feet and was very urged to play with it, saying, "I don't have to be able to attract you. I need to lie flat and breathe slowly. Let me come."

Zhou Xuan was unwilling to let go, and his hands were erected, accurately pinching the "Li Du acupoint" of the second toe of Fairy Jingyi's left and right feet. After rubbing it gently, Fairy Jingyi felt that blood rushes into her forehead, and her ears were buzzing, and she was almost fainted. If it weren't for the veil covering her, she could see her face as bright as the morning glow.

Lin Hanyun praised: "Brother Zhou Xuan, you really have a chance. You are worthy of being famous doctors in the State Medical Bureau. When your hands arrive, my sister's whole body trembles. It's very effective, isn't she?"

The woman in Tang Dynasty has not yet bound her feet, and does not think that slender feet are more precious than chastity, nor does she have the deformed chastity of men who touch her hands and commit suicide by touching her feet. However, no matter what, the shame of Zhou Xuan pinched her two toes like this, and there was also a stimulating feeling that she had never experienced before spreading from her toes throughout her body, causing her toes to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhou Xuan said seriously: "Sister Daoyun, relax your body, breathe calmly, breathe - relax-" with thumbs and index fingers pinched the slender and skinny toes and rubbed them one after another. His eyes looked at the delicate and soft sky feet, his feet arched, his feet were tender red, his back was snow-white, and his skin was light green under his skin looked so fresh and moving, making Zhou Xuan really want to hold and kiss.

Far more than ten strokes, Fairy Jingyi's toes were rubbed red and hot, so how could she breathe calmly? Her chest was undulating violently. She reached under the veil with one hand, as if she was covering her mouth.

Zhou Xuan finally stopped and said, "The Li Du acupoint has been almost done. I can't massage my sister in this Jiuwei acupoint. I will massage myself."

Lin Hanyun said: "Where is the Jiuwei point? Brother Zhou Xuan, don't be lazy. Your hands are very attractive. Look at my sister, it looks very useful."

Zhou Xuan said: "Jiuwei point is directly below the heart, a little bit below the ribs at the bottom, which is easy to find. It is difficult for me to massage my sister Daoyun in this area. My sister will do it by herself, rubbing it while breathing evenly, so that the breath should be long. This point will be effective immediately for the treatment of motion sickness and seasickness."

Fairy Jingyi moaned like a sick person: "Duke Zhou——Brother Xuan, can you go out for a while? The girl said to rub it yourself."

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll come to visit my sister later." He walked out of Fairy Jingyi's boudoir and went straight out of the courtyard. He felt quite regretful. He wondered what Fairy Jingyi looked like when rubbing her chest with her hands. Xi Shi praised her heart?

Judge Fan has been waiting outside the courtyard. He would not dare to go in without two ladies summoning him. How could he go in like Zhou Xuan?

"Mr. Zhou, how is she doing?"

"It should be fine. I'll go in and take a look later. I'll almost be able to start sailing again."

Judge Fan flattered and said, "Young Master Zhou is really incompetent. Any difficult thing can be solved by Mr. Zhou! By the way, Mr. Zhou should move to the big ship here. It is very spacious here. Mr. Zhou is just a maid and a servant, and there are those two third and fourth gentlemen, so you can live there."

Lin Heishan also said: "Yes, Brother Xuan, move here, it's convenient for me to come and have a drink with you."

Zhou Xuan is a lively person. He would not be lonely even if he could travel on the same boat with Brother Heishan and the Lin sisters. Otherwise, although the two ships were dozens of feet apart, it would be difficult to say a word. It would be really "a whole water, and I can't speak."

Judge Fan immediately ordered Zhouzi to use a small sampan to transport Zhou Xuan's maids over. While instructing the servants to clear out five rooms, they were right opposite the Lin sisters.

The maid Mingfeng came out and said, "Young Master Zhou, my fairy invites you in."

Zhou Xuan asked while walking, "The fairy is better, right?"

Ming Feng replied: "Yes".

Fairy Jingyi said as soon as she saw Zhou Xuan, "Brother Xuan, let them drive the boat. The female dou feels that her chest is no longer stuffy."

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll tell Lord Fan now that I'll ask him to order the boat to collect the sails, and don't sail too fast. Sister Daoyun will definitely be fine if she adapts for a while."

Lai Fu, Xiaoqi, Sanqi, and Siqi all arrived on the big ship, and the fleet set sail again, and the speed was much slower than before.

Zhou Xuan has been staying in Jingyi Fairy's room, ready to rub the "Li Dui acupoint" for Sister Daoyun at any time.

It was really amazing. The boat sailed for more than ten miles, and Fairy Jingyi showed no signs of seasickness anymore.

Qin Que sent six servants to pursue Yang Xiaopin. Two of them asked many boatmen at the dock by the river, but they said they had not seen a beautiful woman hired the boat to get off the boat alone. The other four servants chased for thirty miles towards Jinling, but there was no trace. It seemed that Yang Xiaopin disappeared as soon as she left the Zhou Mansion.

That night, six servants came back with their tired bodies. Qin Que, who found no news about Yang Xiaopin, was very anxious.

Dr. Qin frowned and said, "I said before leaving. If we have any difficulties, we will go to Master Lindai. When I saw him off, Lord Lindai also said that if there is any difficult thing, just go to him. If Yang Xiaopin's missing thing comes, if the Protectorate comes to send someone to search, then you will definitely find it."

It was already the hour of the year, and Qin Que said, "Tomorrow morning, Que'er will go to see Uncle Lin with Sister Zhen'er."

The next day at Mao hour, Dr. Qin, Qin Que and Renzi arrived outside Chaoyangfang. The servant went in to report that it was the cold and the Spring Festival of the first lunar month. The Protector was still lying high and not getting up. He heard that the two wives of Nephew Xuan were asking for a meeting, but they didn't know what major happened, so they got up and came to see each other in a hurry.

Qin Que explained his purpose after giving a gift from the needle. Lin Dai breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "It turned out that he had lost a small family, and maybe he wanted to escape long ago. Yesterday, many people in the mansion went to see him off by the river, so she ran away while she was chasing Nephew Xuan." He said: "Don't worry, my uncle immediately asked him to inform Governor Xu and asked him to send a constable and the yamen runners to investigate. I must find out that sheep Xiaopin! In addition, I will write another book and send a fast horse to chase him by land, intercepted Nephew Xuan's fleet, and told Nephew Xuan about this. Maybe that family y is really on the ship."

When Governor Xu heard that the Zhou Mansion had lost his family, he did not neglect. He sent constables and soldiers to investigate the counties in Jiangzhou, but there was no news.

Qin Que said to Renjian privately: "Sister Zier, that Yang Xiaopin was won by his husband from Hongzhou. Will he secretly run back to Hongzhou?"

Renzi nodded and said, "It is very likely that this sheep Xiaopin is too ungrateful. It is because his husband treats her so much that he will run away!"

Yang Xiaopin was holding a small bag with some silver and clothes inside, wearing a hat, a veil hanging down to cover her beautiful face, and walked out of the shop door. She had long noticed that there were many carriages parked in front of Zhuquefang to attract customers. She found a kind-looking coachman, and without saying a word, she opened the curtain and sat in the coachman's carriage.

The coachman felt strange and asked, "Where are the girl?"

Yang Xiaopin said: "Pengze County." She knew that Pengze County was the only way to Jinling. She wanted to get there first and then wait for the arrival of the young master's ship by the river.

The coachman said: "Girl, Peng Ze is more than a hundred miles away. The commission for the snow and ice in the first month must be doubled, three taels of silver."

The carriage replied: "Okay!"

The coachman was worried that he would not have money to give it to Pengze after he arrived, so he asked, "Which girl is from the mansion of Zhuquefang?"

The carriage said: "Zhou Mansion."

The coachman said happily: "It turned out to be from Mr. Zhou Qicha's mansion. The villain is going to trap a horse and set off immediately."

The coachman was a honest man, and he didn't have any bad intentions just because Yang Xiaopin was a lonely woman. He also knew that it was from Mr. Zhou Qicha's mansion. Mr. Zhou Qicha was the nephew of the Protector, so he was very respectful to Yang Xiaopin along the way. In the afternoon, Shenchu ​​was driving more than 100 miles to Pengze County.

Yang Xiaopin told the coachman not to enter the city and went directly to the riverside pier.
