"Uncomfortable?" Gu Changfeng asked Shen Yanbei to lean on his leg, gently rubbing his abdomen with his gentle palm.
Shen Yan had food to the north, and he barely pulled out a smile: "It's...okay..." The warm current passed through the skin that was close to each other, making him feel a lot of cramping stomach. But even so, Shen Yanbei still felt terribly uncomfortable.
"My son, come and have a drink." Zhou Yu brought warm water over, looking at the half-dead Shen Yanbei with worry.
Gu Changfeng carefully helped Shen Yanbei up, and took the water to his mouth. Shen Yanbei opened his mouth and took a sip, but before he swallowed it, a swift wave hit, the boat shook, and his stomach was overwhelmed. Shen Yanbei hurriedly pushed Gu Changfeng away, helping the boat to vomit dimly.
"Yanbei..." Gu Changfeng worried, "Or, let's go overland instead?"
Shen Yanbei, who even vomited bile, took a long time to rinse his mouth with water: "...It's okay, just spit it out and get used to it." In the ancient times when transportation was backward, travel could only rely on human and animal power. The boat is one of the important means of transportation. If he gets seasick, how can he visit the rivers and mountains with his wife?
So this seasickness problem must be overcome!
Hearing Shen Yanbei’s words, the boatman on the boat said with a smile: "The son is right, this seasickness is just fine. When I first started doing this business, the old man couldn’t stand up because I could not get used to it. Life, let people tie me to the bow mast..."
So cruel? Shen Yanbei glanced at the boatman's still very strong body, deeply admired: "Brother, you are so brave!" The most swaying part of the whole ship is the bow mast. Thinking about the situation, it feels exciting.
The boatman waved his hand and said, "It's useless to be old. It's true that young people nowadays come forth in large numbers!" As he said, his eyes fell on Gu Changfeng with profound meaning.
Hearing this, Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, instinctively that the boatman was a storyteller, so he talked to him.
Looking at Shen Yanbei as a scholar dressed up but not as high-minded as a scholar, but polite and talkative, the boatman was very happy, and immediately told the funny story of so many years of going to sea.
It turns out that the boatman also traveled north and south when he was young, and he was a man who had seen him before. Watching Changfeng's walking posture is different from ordinary people, and the bottom plate is extremely stable, and he is walking flat on the swaying boat, you know that this is a martial artist. Seeing that he stroked Shen Yanbei's abdomen with internal force, he immediately concluded that he was a master.
Shen Yanbei was shocked by the vicious eyes of the boatman, and remembered it carefully when the boatman talked about the experience of going to sea.
When someone chatted and distracted, Shen Yanbei felt better and asked Gu Changfeng to bring him some pastries. I vomited a lot before and there was nothing in my stomach. If I vomited too much, I had to eat something.
Knowing that Shen Yanbei is the famous Shen Jiacun Shen Xiucai, this time I went to Qingzhou to get acquainted with the environment and take the exam next year. The boatman praised Shen Yanbei for his foresight.
He has been sailing for many years, and he has sent candidates to Qingzhou for the exam. Some candidates have never been on a boat. As a result, they got dizzy and vomited all the way when they got on the boat. After arriving in Qingzhou, he still couldn't get over. This Qiuwei is yellow.
Shen Yanbei smiled and secretly rejoiced. When it was time to eat, he ate some pickled vegetables, which greatly eased the discomfort of seasickness.
It was also this time that Shen Yanbei remembered such a thing. Eating something during the journey can relieve symptoms such as dizziness and stuffiness caused by motion sickness and seasickness, such as acidic food, mustard, soda cake and so on. He does not have mustard, but has a boat of capers, sour radish and sauerkraut!
What a mistake! The appetizer was originally served, and there are gimmicks that can relieve the discomfort of seasickness, his pickled dishes can definitely open the market!
The boatman was very curious, so Shen Yanbei gave him capers and sour radishes to taste.
"Unique flavor! Makes appetite greatly increased!" The boatman's eyes lit up and he was full of praise. To live on the water, eating fish and meat is tired of eating, these sour and spicy side dishes are very suitable for him!
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanbei generously gave the boatman a jar of every pickle.
The boatman accepted it politely, and taught him how to adapt to life on the boat. Shen Yanbei has good perseverance. He vomited and vomited. When he arrived in Qingzhou, the symptoms of seasickness were significantly reduced, and he could barely walk around on the boat.
"Thank you, brother, for taking us this ride!" Shen Yanbei arched his hands to the boatman on the dock.
The boatman smiled and waved: "No thanks, no thanks! When my brother returns to Dongjiang, our brothers will talk to each other again!"
After a trip to the waterway, the two have become friends.
Behind several beautiful seagulls wiping the blue water, flapping their wings and screaming, the salty sea breeze swept in. The three of them stood at Qingzhou Qingyun Wharf, watching the countless large and small boats moored at the wharf and busy unloading cargo from the ships. The task force and the endless stream of carts and horses are all excited.
Zhou Yu is naturally excited because he can finally see the world, and Gu Changfeng is excited because he no longer has to suffer from seasickness when he arrives on land, Shen Yanbei, and Shen Yanbei...
Your uncle! This is what a big city should be! Shen Yanbei silently held back the tears of bringing migrant workers into the city.
The servants of the Su family have been waiting at the pier a long time ago, watching every day if there are any guests described by the young master. Seeing that all three of Shen Yanbei and his party conformed to the description, they hurriedly stepped forward to inquire: "But the son of Dongjiang County? The villain is a slave in the Su Mansion, and he came to respond on the order of the son."
After confirming his identity, Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "Brother Lao leads the way."
The three of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, but the servants who had been instigated by many times did not dare to neglect, and brought the carriage over to invite the three to get on the carriage, and the remaining goods were sent to another carriage to take back to Su's house.
The Su family mansion is in the inner city, and you have to go through the outer city from the dock to the inner city.
The horse-drawn carriage passes through the bustling downtown, and the streets are full of shops, and the carriage is like a horse and a dragon, which opened the eyes of Zhou Yu, a bun.
"My son, what do those women who are smearing fat are standing at the door and doing?" The simple bun pointed to a brothel and asked, when he saw a woman hug the man who came in, he couldn't help but stare, "This... Isn't it silly?"
"They just open the door to do business." Shen Yanbei glanced at the green corridor. If it is not forced by life, who would betray the flesh?
Zhou Yu is even more curious: "Doing business has to pounce on customers? What kind of business is this?"
Shen Yan Beiqing coughed twice: "The children are so curious about what to do."
As soon as the voice fell, a gaze shot over. As soon as Shen Yanbei raised his head, he met Gu Changfeng's quiet black eyes, and somehow suddenly felt a little guilty: "What's wrong?"
"If you hadn't bought me back then, I would have lived worse than them." He has an ugly appearance and can only do coolies if he can't do business with flesh and blood. He was hurt so badly that he might be enslaved to death.
Shen Yanbei was taken aback, and he scolded distressedly: "What nonsense! Why is it miserable to buy or not?"
Holding Gu Changfeng's hand, Shen Yanbei stared into his eyes and said with a serious face: "It is said that there is a chance to meet for thousands of miles, but the opposite is not met. God sees that I am too sick to walk, and sent you to me. By your side!"
It was the first time that Gu Changfeng was moved and delighted when he heard such remarks. The resolute facial lines gradually softened, and the corners of his lips were raised to Shen Yanbei: "Yeah."
The bright and handsome smile made Shen Yanbei's heart itchy, and because of the minor being present, he could only hold his fingers together with restraint.
Zhou Yu, who was caught off guard with a handful of dog food, turned his head decisively to look at the street scene.
The carriage stopped. About half an hour later, the carriage driver yelled and the carriage gradually stopped.
The servant got out of the car first, walked to the door and said, "Master Shen, Su Mansion is here, please get off!"
Shen Yanbei opened the curtain, and at a glance, he saw the entrance of the Su Mansion, which was as majestic as the imaginary high-ranking family. The magnificent vermilion lacquer gate was supported by the mighty stone lions, and the golden characters on the plaque on the lintel shone brightly in the sun. Looking at the half-branches of autumn colors that are obliquely exposed in the enclosing wall of the glazed tile, it is not difficult to imagine the wealth and wealth inside.
"Big Brother Gu! Big Brother Shen!" The young man dressed in a moon white gown with flowing clouds and bright moon embroidered with silver thread, and a jade belt wrapped around his waist, ran over excitedly.
The young man in Tsing Yi who followed the young man was also full of joy: "Master Shen, you are finally here! My young master's neck is long!"
Gu Changfeng looked up and down at the young man who looked thinner and more conspicuous than before parting, and nodded, "Very well, I can see that I have exercise."
"Stop talking..." Su Qingze was a little embarrassed. Since returning to Qingzhou, everyone's eyes have changed.
The young lady who had flattered him because of his family's power looked at him with envy and jealousy, and those young masters who had been dismissive of him in the past were full of surprises, and they all came to show him courtesy. The most funny thing is that his old lady rubbed her eyes in disbelief and shouted how could it be possible. The most ridiculous thing is the old lady's favorite baby granddaughter, his third sister Su Ruizhen sees him with sour eyes.
Su Qingze snorted coldly. I have to admit that weight loss is indeed beneficial, at least it is easier to move around, but his goal is...
Seeing Gu Changfeng, who was as tall as a pine, calm and powerful as a mountain, Su Qingze was full of confidence.
He has lost weight. Is it still far from becoming Big Brother Gu?
"It's a busy journey, Big Brother Gu, Big Brother Shen, come in and rest!" Su Qingze turned sideways and greeted the people in the door.
"Troubled!"
A few people walked in from the side door with a smile and a smile. The first thing they saw was a one-sided picture of the wall, with a pattern of flowers and moons painted on it, which was lifelike.
Worthy of being a famous mansion, all plants and trees are very cleverly arranged. Shen Yanbei was amazed at the sight, and he really appreciated the beauty of ancient architectural art.
Su Qingze introduced to a few people as he walked. They had just entered the door with their front feet, and a beautifully decorated sedan chair with their back feet then entered the door.
The pretty-faced maid got off Jiaozi first, and opened the curtain to invite people to get off the sedan chair. A snow-white gentleman stretched out and put it gently on the maid's hand, followed by a pink dress, and the graceful woman poked her head out of the sedan chair.
Seeing the servants carrying a lot of sauerkraut jars from the carriage, the woman frowned: "What are you doing? What are these?" When she learned that this was the pickles brought by Su Qingze's friend, the woman covered her mouth and nose with her veil, her eyes filled. Disgusted: "I also said why there is a strange smell, it turned out to be pickled vegetables? Where did the soil buns come to visit and bring pickles?"
"What kind of friends did the fourth son make? How poor is this? You won't come to fight the autumn wind, right?" The maid said contemptuously.
The woman's eyebrows raised lightly, her eyes contemptuous. He waved his kerchief and walked toward the Moon Cave Gate in a thousand gestures: "The fourth brother is young, and it is inevitable that he can't know people clearly. You have to tell grandma about this!"
Knowing that there are elders in the Su family, Shen Yanbei asked the old lady if it was convenient, and he went to see him.
Su Qingze hesitated. The old lady didn't like him, and she probably wouldn't see his friends. But seeing is the same thing. If you don't go to see you, Shen Yanbei is rude, so Ming'an asks.
When he walked to a courtyard called Zhihua, Su Qingze smiled and said, "Brother Gu, please live here and see what is missing. I'll let someone buy it!"
Several osmanthus trees were planted in this yard, and it was late autumn, and the osmanthus flowers bloomed brilliantly. It's really autumn breeze, sweet-scented osmanthus fluttering, secret fragrance delivery, can be described as elegant. Looking at the exquisite furnishings in the room, the daily necessities are all available, the pillowcases and bedding are all new, Shen Yanbei is very satisfied.
After shaking on the boat for so long, I finally got a good sleep!
"I have someone prepare water and lunch. Brother Gu, you can take a bath and eat and rest. I will give you a banquet in the evening!" Su Qingze said with great interest.
There were friends who came from afar and were very happy. The young man was full of joy, but he waited for Ming'an to return to report, saying that the old lady did not want to see Shen Yanbei, and told Su Qingze not to take all the messy people into his house, and quickly give some money to them. When he was sent away, Su Qingze had no good mood.
"I saw Miss Rui Zhen by the side, and I don't know if she said something to the old lady!" Ming An was very angry. Friends who look down on their young masters look down on their own young masters! This old lady is too partial!
"If you don't see it, you won't see!" Su Qingze coldly hummed angrily. Since recognizing the true face of the old lady, he no longer had any illusions about the old lady. But it would be too much to bury his friends like this!
I heard Su Qingze say that the old lady at home didn't want to see him, and Shen Yanbei comforted Su Qingze to earn his own face, not someone else. Moreover, the old lady is of quality, he is a talent, and it is completely understandable that the old lady does not see him.
"Big Brother Shen, you don't have to excuse her!" Su Qingze frowned, in an angry tone, "She is angry and I didn't promise to find Su Ruizhen a high branch!"
Seeing the two of them looked puzzled, Su Qingze was expressionless: "Su Ruizhen is arrogant and looks down on the children of the family here. She is about to find a powerful man in the capital to marry. I may marry to the capital next year. My wife asked me to find someone for her, but I didn’t agree.” He wanted to marry so far away from home. The old lady didn’t worry about being bullied and helpless by her husband, but wanted to find someone for Su Ruizhen through his relationship. The husband's distinguished family background is really ridiculous!
Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng were surprised: "Are you going to marry? When did you make the reservation?"
"My parents said that they were the baby kisses they ordered when they were young!" Su Qingze said in an angry manner. After he came back, he specifically asked his father and mother who the other person was, but his father and mother fooled him, saying that the other party had a good temper and a good-looking person. There was nothing to say about the family background and the family population was simple. He could take care of him as soon as he got married. Home, he can never be wronged!
He casually said that the other party's conditions were so good that he would only be attracted to him when he was blind, and he was scolded by his parents!
This sounded strange, Shen Yanbei couldn't help frowning: "What kind of person is the other party? Have you decided to marry him?" The teenager is only ten years old, and he is just a child in his eyes.
"I don't know what kind of person it is," Su Qingze smiled helplessly. "The other party can't afford it. The decision whether to marry or not is in our hands." Looking at his parents' cautious appearance, the other party's background may be more than he imagined. It’s even bigger.
It's just that he didn't understand at all, why his father and mother spoke so tightly, no matter how he flanked, his father and mother did not reveal the identity of the other party?
Blind marriage and dumb marriage? Shen Yanbei's brows became tighter.
"He is not happy." Gu Chang closed his eyes with worry. I mentioned the marriage just now, and the boy's tone was indifferent, as if the major event in life was a task that was ordered to be completed, without the slightest expectation or joy.
Shen Yanbei sighed: "Even the Su family can't provoke the other party's power..." At this point, Shen Yanbei was stunned, and said in surprise: "That dark guard will not be sent by the other party. Right?"
