4. Get on the wrong boat

On the desolate and cold riverside dock in Pengze County, the cold wind roared, and the branches of the withered willows and fading poplars were crushed by the snow from time to time. With a "click", a bunch of snow foam fell down one after another.

Sheep frowns and has a drooping bun, a red hat, a green green sleeves, a pair of swirls and a long Huzhou silk skirt. She has a beautiful figure and looks as graceful as a fairy from a distance. She is extremely eye-catching on the snow-covered and muddy river bank.

On the third day of the first lunar month, there were few people going out. Jiangan Pier was very deserted. There were only a dozen boatmen, travelers, and the guy who was cooking fires around the fire in the riverside inn. At this time, they all stood in front of the door and looked at the sheep Xiaopin. They all guessed the identity of this woman. If they were said to be a concubine who was elopement from a wealthy family, they did not see the man with them. If they were said to be a boat that came out early to attract passengers, they did not see the flower boat and the pleasure boat, it was really strange!

A few frivolous men came forward to chat with her and invited Yang Xiaopin to the shop for a drink to warm her body. After much verbal talk, she didn't hear a response. The woman just looked up at the upstream of the river.

One of the evil men deliberately leaned against Yang Xiaopin, and wanted to lift her veil to see her appearance-

Yang Xiaopin pushed away the man and pulled out a five-inch knife from the small leather bag on his waist. The blade was shining with a green light, and the blood groove was deep, obviously extremely sharp.

Several frivolous men were shocked and quickly stayed away, stood under the eaves of the inn to tease the flirty sheep with dirty words.

Yang Xiaopin looked at them, remembered their appearance, and asked the young master to deal with them later.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a smile came, wearing a deer crown, scribbling her eyebrows and lips, and her dress was sleek and asked kindly: "Are the girl waiting for someone?"

This suddenly came to Yang Xiaopin's heart. She had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, she couldn't help but be anxious and nodded immediately.

The vulgar woman said, "Miss is waiting for the boat to come down, right? Some of the boats coming from the upstream do not pass through this waterway, and there is also a forked waterway there." She pointed to the other side.

"Ah!" Yang Xiaopin was a little panicked.

The woman observed her expression and asked again: "Is the person the girl is waiting for a big boat or a small boat?"

Yang Xiaopin finally responded: "Big ship."

The woman immediately said, "The big ship cannot help but pass here. Look, the one who came down from upstream just now was a small boat."

After saying that, the woman waited for Yang Xiaopin to beg her to help her find the boat to cross the shore. While looking at the lonely girl, although she was covered by a veil, her eyebrows were not visible, but her figure, her waist, her fingers as white as a green onion tube were definitely a beauty. Seeing this dress, she was very exquisite and her outfit was not like a maid. She should be a concubine who ran out of a wealthy family. She thought to herself: "When I tricked her into the boat, trained her, and made a boat, she would definitely be a money tree. She really has good luck in the New Year. You can get such a beautiful lady without a penny!"

The woman waited for a while, but before she could hear the girl speak, she said again: "Miss, she has to cross the river to wait. It's too late, otherwise it would be a good idea to miss it."

Yang Xiaopin still didn't say anything. She was a very intelligent woman. Seeing that the woman laughed before she could speak, her eyes flashed, and she didn't dare to believe what the woman said, so she decided to wait a little longer.

At this time, a 9-meter-long vermilion ship sailed upstream with its head held high and a huge belly, with sails on three sides. The ship was as fast as an arrow from a string.

The woman's lies were self-defeating. Yang Xiaofen hummed, stomped her feet, which were numb from the cold, and ran to a high rock closest to the water. She waved her hand hard and shouted sharply: "Young Master———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The river flowed fifty feet away, and the big red ship was passing by quickly. There was a man wearing a beard hat and a cloak surrounded by several followers. In Yang Xiaopin's opinion, this was her young master Zhou Qicha!

"Young Master—Young Master—"

Yang Xiaopin ran along the river bank, pulling off the veil hanging from the curtain, revealing her beautiful face, and chasing the big ship.

The ship sailed more than a hundred feet away, gradually slowing down, and it was getting slower and slower, obviously to stop.

The Yang Xiaofen was so happy that his eyes were filled with tears. He carried his skirt and ran down the river bank. He ran faster and faster, like a green butterfly flying.

The big boat put down a small sampan, two boats, and two servants sailed to the river bank. Yang Xiaofen panted and just ran to the small sampan, and helped the servant's men to the small sampan. The two boats immediately rowed and paddled, and the small sampan quickly rowed towards the large sampan.

Yang Xiaopin panted for a moment and asked, "Funnel?"

Both servants were kind-hearted and smiled, "On the boat, both on the boat."

Yang Xiaopin got on the big boat, and the servant led her into the cabin. Yang Xiaopin felt something was wrong. Since the young master saw her on the river bank and now he picked her up on the boat, why didn’t he wait for her on the deck? The young master is not the one who puts on airs like this!

Yang Xiaopin stopped, reached into Xiaoliang's bag with his right hand, held the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Young Master——"

The servant said, "The young master is waiting for the girl inside."

Yang Xiaopin took two steps back and shouted again: "Young Master——"

Someone in the cabin responded: "Young Master is here!"

There were three people coming up. One on the left was tall and thin, in his forties, wearing a thin gauze shirt, not afraid of the cold, his eyes were bulging, his eyebrows were like two brooms, and his mouth was grinning, and he looked pretentious. On the right was a Confucian scholar in his fifties, with a blue shirt in Confucianism, with a sparse eyebrows and a strange appearance, always holding a wise bead, smiling and smiling; the person in the middle was a young man with a beard hat and a squid fur, the one she saw on the Jiang'an, not Zhou Xuan at all!

Yang Xiaopin knew that he had boarded the wrong boat. Although he was panicked, he was not afraid and said, "Get off the boat."

The young man with a beard hat and sable fur is about twenty-six years old. He is slender, handsome and has a special eyesight. He has a kind of authority between looking around. He is obviously a pampered person and is used to being domineering. He first saw a slim girl in Jiang'an waving to him. He knew that it was very likely that he had recognized the wrong person. He smiled and said, "Come on that woman and see how beautiful she looks. If you stay, you will throw the ugly ones into the river to feed fish and turtles."

The man in a croaker shirt and ring-eyed broom eyebrows said, "Young master, this woman is a stunning girl."

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that so? Mr. Du has a hawk-eye. He can see clearly naturally. Stop the boat quickly and send a sampan to pick him up."

At this time, I saw it, it was indeed a charming look, and I seemed to be very young, with a childish spirit in my pure beauty. I pursed my cherry lips, which made people feel pity.

The young man smiled and asked, "Miss, who is the young master you are looking for?"

Yang Xiaopin still has two words: "Get off the boat."

But at this time the ship had already pulled up the sails again, straightened the rudder, and drove downstream.

Yang Xiaopin ran to the side of the boat, looking at the retreating river bank and the surging river water, tears rolling in his eyes.

The young man stood leisurely, and was not worried that Yang Xiaopin would jump into the river. He said slowly: "It is a blessing for a girl to meet me. When you are alone, you are looking for someone, but you are afraid that you will jump into the fire pit if you don't find me. Wouldn't that be bad! You should stay on my boat for a while, and I'm here to find someone for you - which young master is the girl looking for?"

Yang Xiaopin pursed her cherry lips tightly and she didn't say a word.

The young man was not angry at all and still smiled, "If the girl doesn't say it, she must be looking for Mr. Li, and I'm here to be Mr. Li."

The little sheep was as silent as the beauty of Bing, and was indifferent to the man who claimed to be Mr. Li.

The young man turned his head and said, "Please invite this girl to Xiaoyaxuan for a while, and serve her well." He said to Yang Xiaopin, "Miss, don't be afraid. You are the most elegant and will not offend the girl. If a big boat comes from behind, it will not be too late to find your son."

Two maids came up, two maids and two maids held Yang Xiaopin hostage from front to back, and Yang Xiaopin did not resist and went down to the cabin indifferently.

Mr. Li looked at Yang Xiaopin's slim back, gently rubbed his thumb with his left hand, and his smile became stronger.

The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "Young Master has always liked tough methods, why is it so gentle this time?"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "This woman is so beautiful and beautiful. She is still a virgin. I will naturally treat her with the king's way. Only by capturing her heart will I show my ability. Just like Mr. Du and Mr. Gan are the geniuses in the world. Only I can appreciate you. When you are honored by the national talents, you will naturally be willing to serve me."

The eagle-eyed man, known as Mr. Du, and the Confucian scholar, bowed together: "The kindness of the young master is high and the earth is vast. I swear to be loyal to the young master to the death."

Yang Xiaopin was supported by two maids to come to Xiaoyaxuan. The little Yaxuan Yingying and Yanyan were joking. All of them were beauties, and they were dressed up and dressed up, which was dazzling. Yang Xiaopin stood there with clear and clear eyes. All the women were overshadowed and lost their voices. They stared at Yang Xiaopin with jealous eyes. After a while, they said:

"So the young master has a new favorite!"

"Yu Ping'er, you are going to lose favor!"

"Is that great, it's cold and cold!"

Yang Xiaopin just didn't say anything and was hugged by two maids to a beautifully decorated pavilion. When Yang Xiaopin saw a window, he quickly went over and pushed it open. Seeing the surging river, he felt a little relieved.

It was getting dark and the ship was sailing very fast, and no ship came from behind.

The maid brought dinner, but Yang Xiaopin didn't move her chopsticks. She looked out the cold window with her eyes and thought about what to do next?

Mr. Li took advantage of the strategy of trying to get, but he never came to see Yang Xiaopin.

It was getting dark, Yang Xiaopin got up and left, and walked slowly, and the two maids followed her without leaving.

Although the ship is big, hundreds of people gathered on a boat, and people could hear people talking everywhere. Yang Xiaopin listened to all these words in his heart and learned that the ship was also going to Jinling, and that Mr. Li was a great nobleman.

Yang Xiaopin nodded secretly. It was only seven or eight days to go to Jinling by water. It would be not too late to find a young master when she arrived in Jinling. As long as she had made up her own mind, she would not be afraid that Mr. Li would come to harass her.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaopin touched the knife on his waist.

When he walked back, he suddenly heard the voice of Mr. Li. On her head, it was the upper level of the ship. Mr. Li said: "Wei Bo has been convinced by me. I promised to let him lead Zhennan alone, Zhaowu's land afterwards."

Yang Xiaopin knew who Wei Bo was, and was very surprised and slowed down. He heard Mr. Li say again: "The five major protectors in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty - Zhennan, Yum is my person, Zhaowu, Jianzhou is not. As for Fenghua, I visited Lin Dai secretly half a year ago. This old fox is ambiguous. It is obvious that he is changing his power and will support whoever gets the power."

Another voice said: "This time Lin Dai's two daughters came to Beijing. The young girl Lin Hanyun seemed to be heading for that person. Young Master, you must not let Lin Dai marry that person. It should be destroyed from it. It is best if the young master marry Miss Lin Er. The young master is far more handsome than that person. As long as you meet Miss Lin Er a few more times, Miss Lin Er will definitely have a heart full of love on the young master."

Mr. Li laughed and said, "I have a hard life. I have become the married Wang Zhaojun. I promised to marry Wei Bo's daughter. Oh, Wei Bo's daughter is really ugly. I will never meet you if I really want to marry you in the future."

Several people laughed together.

Yang Xiaopin walked over slowly, unable to hear the words, and thought to himself: "Who is this Mr. Li? It seems to be unfavorable to Miss Lin Er. My son has a good relationship with the Lin family. This must involve my son. When I see him, I must tell him about this."

A few days after that, the ship was in a good mood, passing Anqing, Chizhou, and Tongling, and it was estimated that it would be possible to reach Jinling, Xidu in another three days.

These days, Mr. Li would come to Yang Xiaopin's room to sit for a while every day and say some witty words. Unfortunately, Yang Xiaopin just didn't say a word. If she hadn't said the word "off the boat" when she got on the boat, she would have thought she was mute.

Having seen other women's flattery, acting coquettish, being charming, being jealous, and being jealous. Mr. Li was even more interested in Yang Xiaopin, a beautiful beauty like a lotus, and thought to himself: "When you arrive in Jinling and train well, you will definitely teach you everything you say."
