Chapter 1198： islands

When Chang Lian arrived at the yamen, he sat down and didn't care about the errands. He still thought about the fan and the familiar figure in his mind, and his heart was beating wildly. Xuzhou also heard about the situation of the emperor in the capital, not to mention the king of Qi who wanted to give it a shot.

Chang Lian pursed his lips and felt that he had to tell his father. He took out a pen and paper and began to write the letter. He was afraid that the letter would be blocked, so he wrote it very obscurely, and he believed that his father could understand it.

It's just that this letter is destined not to get out of Xuzhou City, and King Qi thinks that if it's a bad thing, he will send someone to watch it early.

King Qi opened the letter, and there was nothing wrong in the letter, but Zhou Changlian still underestimated him, he should really praise, Zhou Laosan's keenness, but unfortunately, Zhou Laosan guessed wrong.

Zhou Mansion, Tao Shi came by himself this time, Zhu Lan, "Why didn't you bring Tao Ran here today?"

Tao's smile faded a little, "I have already sent someone to take Tao Ran back."

"Ok?"

That's not right, Tao Shi really likes Tao Ran, otherwise he wouldn't bring Tao Ran with him every time he came to Zhou's house.

Tao didn't want to talk about family ugliness, and he was angry when he thought about it. The nephew actually made this idea, not to mention that the eldest grandson and the Zhou family were already engaged, even if they didn't get engaged, the father-in-law and the husband-in-law would not choose the daughter of the Tao family.

Now that I know the marriage, the father-in-law does not allow anyone to destroy this marriage, and she does not allow it, but the nephew still wants the eldest grandson's idea, so it can only be a concubine's room. When she thinks of her mother's first daughter as a concubine, she is in her heart. I was so angry that the thought of pulling my mother's family completely stopped.

Originally, when she brought Tao Ran to Zhou's house, she also thought that if Yang's friendship with her would get Yang's likes, she would be good to Tao Ran in the future, but her nephew didn't understand her painstaking efforts, so he still planned on her.

Seeing that Tao Shi's face was getting worse and worse, Zhu Lan turned around, "Why are you here today?"

Tao Shi smiled again, "Of course it's a good thing, your Mingrui is not too young, you're not worried about your child's marriage, I have a good candidate here, and I'll tell you."

Zhulan has a lot of spirit, and she is also worried about Mingrui's marriage. Recently, she has introduced a lot, and there are many intentional, but they are not suitable. After finally finding a suitable one, after inquiring, Zhulan denied it.

The second room is not suitable for the thoughtful daughter-in-law, the thoughtful one will not get along with the Zhao family, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is not good, and there will be a lot of troubles in the second room in the future. Mingrui is not suitable for the thoughtful child. .

The second room is different from the big room. The eldest daughter-in-law of the big room needs to be in charge of the family. The second room is also in charge of the Zhao family. Who makes the Zhao family young, Yudie and the child in her womb are small!

Zhulan smiled, "Let's hear it."

Tao Shi, "The daughter of the Jiao family, she is eight years old this year. The little girl has a straight temper. I have met a few times, and she is a very good child."

Zhulan thought for a while. There were not many people in the capital with the surname Jiao, and she recalled carefully, "Are you talking about Jiao Zhuo, the imperial censor of the capital?"

Tao shi nodded, "Yes, it's from his family. This is a little girl. She was raised in a pampered manner, so she was raised a little more naive."

Zhulan thought to herself, rank four, Jiao Zhuo is capable, and his father is also capable. This family is one of the best in the capital, "Jiao's family background is very good."

Well, she didn't think about the Jiao family. If it was just Jiao Zhuo herself, she could still think about it, but Jiao Zhuo's father, Zhulan, didn't think about it. Even if Changyi worked hard, he couldn't wait for the Jiao family's direct daughter to get married.

As for the Zhou family who valued Zhou Shuren because of Zhou Shuren, no, the Jiao family has been clean and honest from generation to generation, and the Jiao family has its own confidence.

Tao said, "I think you can try it. The Jiao family doesn't care about wealth when marrying a daughter."

The daughter of the Jiao family is not worried about getting married. Many people ask for marriage, but the daughter of the Jiao family has never been married.

Zhu Lan smiled and shook her head, "The Jiao family is very good, but they won't choose the Zhou family."

It can be seen from marrying a daughter that the Jiao family is sober, but not too much involved with the nobles, and maintaining a clean family style is the way of survival for the Jiao family.

Tao Shi really felt pity, "Do you think about it?"

Zhulan, "Don't think about it."

If the Zhou family didn't have the blood of the Rong family, maybe this good marriage could be achieved. Now the Jiao family will only hide from the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is too conspicuous.

On a small island in the sea, Rong Chuan and the others were so hungry that they could not make a fire, for fear of attracting the attention of the islands not far away, because the two islands were too close.

The island is not big, and the hiding place is under a cliff. There are gravel everywhere, and a boat not far away is tied to the stone.

Rong Chuan felt his stomach. He was hungry, and the dry food he brought on board ran out. If it hadn't been for a boat that passed by last night, they would have already boarded the opposite island.

Yang Wen came down from the side of the cliff at this time, and the coat he took off was bulging. At first glance, he had loaded a lot of things. There were a few people behind Yang Wen, all carrying things.

Rong Chuan saw Yang Wen, "Have you found something to eat?"

Yang Wen grinned, "Uncle cousin, we dug up some sweet potatoes."

Rong Chuan was stunned, "Why are there sweet potatoes here?"

Yang Wen put down the sweet potatoes in his clothes and said, "We checked the entire island and found a stone-built house on the east side, which had been abandoned for a long time. We distributed a piece of land near the house, found the sweet potatoes, and dug them up. Some come back."

Rong Chuan, "It seems that this island is a sentry island."

As for why it was abandoned, he didn't know, but fortunately it was abandoned, otherwise, they would have been discovered yesterday.

Now that we have sweet potatoes, even if they are raw, they can be eaten, and they are not too dirty. Sweet potatoes are not big, and after rubbing them, a dozen people eat them.

Rong Chuan ate two, and then he took out the map.

Speaking of which, he was lucky. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, when he wanted to return, he didn't expect to encounter a patrol warship of the Navy. He had a soldier in his hand and Yang Wen happened to be on board , the identity is proved, the ship is much faster than the boat, and the escaped person is quickly caught.

These people ran into the sea, and it could be seen that there was a secret base on the nearby island. He brought not only masters, but also dark guards, and the position was interrogated.

It's just that the battleship is too big, and it is guaranteed to be discovered as soon as it approaches, so it is a certain distance from the island, and they change to a small boat and continue to move forward.

Yang Wen also finished eating, took out the binoculars in his arms, "I just looked carefully, there are many patrols on the opposite island, and there are several high platforms, it is not easy to land on the island, cousin, do you wait for the navy to deliver the letter? The people will come back and conquer the island together?"

In his heart, he didn't want his cousin to take risks, he wanted to protect his cousin.

Rong Chuan took the binoculars. Fortunately, the two islands were close, otherwise the binoculars would be useless. I couldn't see clearly last night, but now I can see a lot. It was discovered, and now choose the two best ones to try, if you can't touch it, you can only wait."

He still wanted to find out some things. He could remember gunpowder, and the defense on the opposite island must not be easy.
