Chapter 120

The 15th day of the first month is the Lantern Festival, and many lanterns are hung on Huai'an wharf. Two official ships are docked on the bank, and a servant girl in green clothes hurriedly steps onto the official ship from the plank on the wharf.

The servant girl stopped outside the main cabin and whispered, "sister Yingxue, I'm back."

"Yu'er is back. Come in quickly. The young lady has been waiting." The door was opened and closed again after the servant girl quickly flashed in, closing the cold wind outside the door.

Although the cabin was not big, it was elegantly decorated. There was a flourishing brazier burning in the room. One of the two servant girls in green clothes was lighting incense, the other was boiling tea, and a girl in a light yellow shirt sat on the soft seat with a gloomy expression.

"How? What did my uncle say?" The servant girl who opened the door closed the door, glanced at the girl and asked.

Yu'er lowered her head and whispered, "my uncle said that since the time has been set and the family in the capital has been notified, it is not easy to delay the time, so that the young lady can rest assured that although the eldest young master has something to go first, it is no problem to have the steward of the Su family." My uncle also said something about it, but it's official ship again for so long, but it's hard to tell Miss what can happen.

"Forget it, Yingxue, it's only half a month. It's the official ship again. There's no need to make trouble for my uncle. Go and ask Uncle Fu when we leave." Su Wanyun sighed and said.

"But." Yingxue stamped her feet and turned to go out to find the steward sent by the Su family. In my heart, I didn't feel very angry. Although my wife died early, at least the young lady was also the legitimate daughter of my master. I was promoted to Jiangnan, but I sent her to my hometown in the capital. It was said that I put her under my grandmother's lap for upbringing and marriage, but there was still such a long way from Huai'an to Bianjing. It was incredibly hard for my master to let a steward send her away.

"Yu'er, give me that book." Su Wanyun pointed to the bookshelf, saying that her father didn't value her. Everything on the ship was based on her preferences, but if she valued it, she couldn't even let her eldest brother send it off, if her second brother was there.

Seeing that Su Wanyun was not in high spirits, yu'er hurriedly went to get the book she pointed to, and then said with a smile, "Miss, I just saw Mr. Han on the dock.

"Brother Han?" Su Wanyun raised her head with a faint blush on her face and asked, "where is he?"

Yu'er went to the window and opened a crack in the window. Just so that people can see from the inside, but people outside can't see the range. She said, "look, miss, it's on the boat over there."

Su Wanyun leaned over to the window and looked out. There was a long string of straw boats with an endless load parked along the dock. At the end of the boat was a big boat, which was very close to their boat. On the second floor of the boat stood many men with swords on their waists. They were all black and dressed in red cloaks, very fierce.

Han Liang was standing in the middle of the group of big men and talking to another man.

Although he only wore a blue robe, Su Wanyun saw him at a glance from the group of big men. Seeing his tall and straight body, she was careful that her liver would jump up unconsciously.

Liu Shuang was a little fragrant. He also leaned over to have a look and said, "where are you going, young master Han? So many boats?"

"Xu is escorting grain and grass to the north. According to his father, brother Han sent grain and grass last winter. At the same time, the Heishui pass was running out of grain. Because of this, General Yang Zhao specially sent a memorial to brother Han." Su Wanyun said, with silk pride in her voice.

"In fact, there is such a good candidate as young master Han. Why, master?" Liu Shuang stopped talking before he finished.

Su Wanyun's face has been gloomy. Han Liang is naturally an excellent person, but after all, only scholars have achieved fame, and now he still works for a business firm. Although his reputation of talent and learning has been booming in Huaiyang and Huaiyang, his father still doesn't like it. His father wants an in laws who can help his career.

"Why is there a woman on that ship?" Yu'er called softly.

Su Wanyun hurried to look again, but she saw a woman wearing blue shoes coming up from the shipboard, and a man behind hurried up to put on a cloak for her. With the woman coming up, there were several people, all dressed in black, and then hidden in the shadow. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice at all.

Han Liang talked with the woman and smiled knowingly from time to time. Su Wanyun felt sad and worked harder to see the woman. The woman was eighteen or nine years old. Her hair was just casually tied in a bun and inserted a hairpin. She didn't look very good, but her smiling face made people feel very amiable, but no matter how amiable, now that she talked to Han Liang like this, Su Wanyun felt that she was a very annoying woman.

Hate to close the window, Su Wanyun whispered: "fox spirit!"

Yu'er and liushuang are dumb. Is it a fox spirit to grow up like that? Miss, your eyes are wrong.

"Miss." Uncle Fu called outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Su Wanyun's voice was still angry and said.

Uncle Fu was stunned and dutifully replied, "just now, master Han sent someone to ask, he wants to escort grain and grass into the middle, pass by Bianjing, and if he wants to go with us."

Ah! Su Wanyun's face suddenly recovered and said with a smile, "it's not good to bother young master Han so much?"

Uncle Fu was stunned again and said, "madam, if we go with the Lingjia firm, it will be much safer. They have a lot of guards on board." It's said that master Erh Fang doesn't like this young master Han Liang very much, but with just two boats going north, there will definitely be ice on the river. Follow the Ling family's boat and break the ice to open the way. This kind of thing doesn't have to be done. Won't the eldest lady flirt about this?

Su Wanyun twisted her veil and was very angry that uncle Fu couldn't understand her. She said, "then please help me thank Mr. Han more."

Uncle Fu wiped a sweat, oh, it's not to refuse, that's good, that's good.

"Miss, Mr. Han has left. It should not be this boat." Yu'er said happily.

Su Wanyun leaned over again and saw that Han Liang had indeed got off the boat and went ahead, leaving only the woman standing beside the boat Xuan. The man beside her was saying something to him. After the woman shook her head, the man no longer said anything, but stepped back and stood behind her.

Then, Su Wanyun felt that the man seemed to glance at her side. Her cold eyes made her heart thump, and she hurriedly retracted her head. Thinking about it, she felt unwilling. How could he see such a small window crack so far away! Then he gathered up carefully again. Seeing that the man really didn't look at himself anymore, he simply observed them carefully.

Well, the woman is quite ordinary when she doesn't talk to Han Liang. The man next to her is also good-looking. Of course, it's far from Han Liang's style like zhilanyushu, but his posture is very tall and straight, well, like a cat ready to work at any time! No, it's not a cat, it's a tiger!

Su Wanyun looked at him from left to right for several times, and then came to the conclusion that brother Han was the best. At this time, another man came over, and Su Wanyun's eyes lit up. Although this man was also black, he was really a beautiful man, from hair, eyebrows, eyes to lips, flawless. With his slender body, other people next to him were like fireflies next to bright stars, such a handsome man, If she is a woman, she must be as beautiful as heaven!

The beautiful man said something next to the woman, and then the woman stared at her side. Su Wanyun was so scared that she closed the window and retracted into the soft couch.

"What's the matter, miss?" Liushuang asked hurriedly.

"They seem to find me looking at them." Su Wanyun stroked her chest.

"How can it be? Our window is so big." Yu'er compared the size of the window like a silk thread.

The weather in January was the coldest, and many places on the river were frozen. Ling's boat broke the ice in front, while Su's boat was still relatively leisurely. It's just that the weather is too cold. As soon as I open the window, there is a cold wind blowing in.

So Su Wanyun mostly talks and plays with the servant girls in the cabin with the window closed. Occasionally, when the window is opened, she can see the woman standing on the big boat in front of her looking at the scenery. After the boat is set sail, those big men may have gone to other boats to guard. There are often only a few men around the woman, four of whom are often hidden in the shadow and can't see their faces clearly, but the two men will be beside her.

"You say, why haven't I seen her servant girl?" After watching it for a few days, Su Wanyun wondered.

"Yes." The servant girls also responded. These days, they will also go out of the cabin. The woman sometimes greets them. Seeing that the woman is not badly dressed and the jewelry on her body is more valuable, how come every time she sees a man with her, not even a servant girl.

"Is that man her brother?" Su Wanyun guessed. The road is long and boring, and gossip has become the best way to relieve boredom.

"It's not like, or is one husband and one brother?" Liu Shuang guessed.

"Well, I see that the cold man is very close to her. It should be her husband." Yu'er said. Under the gossip, they have named those people mysterious women, beautiful men and cold men.

"Is that a beautiful man a brother? Is this a big gap?" Xue'er also put in a sentence, poured a cup of tea that had been cooked and brought it to Su Wanyun.

"Well, I think it should be the opposite. The beautiful man is the husband and the cold man is the brother." Su Wanyun took a sip of tea and said.

"That's really a flower on cow dung." Liushuang laughed unconsciously.

Several people laughed, and Yingxue looked at them helplessly. The boat was really too idle.

"Yingxue, don't you think so?" Su Wanyun asked with a smile after seeing Yingxue's helpless face.

"Miss, those men are dressed like those guards. Don't you think they may just be servants?" Yingxue blackened her face. Although their costumes are very different from those of the big men, and they are not even as gorgeous as those of the big men, at least these costumes are similar. How to say, they feel like the costumes that can hide their bodies at any time.

"Servant?" Su Wanyun was stunned, then pushed open the window and looked at the big ship. She saw what the mysterious woman was talking to Leng Nan, and then said, "Yingxue, do you think it looks like talking to servants?"

Yingxue leaned over her head and saw that the woman was smiling and patting the cold man on the shoulder, which was very intimate. She wondered, "it doesn't look like this."

"But miss, if you talk about foreign men like this and let the master know." Yingxue closes the window and tells the truth. Miss, you are thirteen years old. There are differences between men and women! The wife died early, and there were two favorite aunts in the family. At best, she was cheerful, at worst, she was careless of discipline.

"What's the matter with talking in our own room? Are you going to tell Grandma Yingxue?" Su Wanyun pursed and said, "when we arrive in Bianjing, we can't talk like this." Su's house is a scholarly family, and her grandmother is a noble girl. She is most particular about women's morality. Don't say so about other people's gossip at that time, I'm afraid it's impossible to breathe loudly.

Yingxue also sighed. Forget it. It's only a few days. There are no outsiders in this room. It doesn't matter if you make miss happy.
