Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Many lanterns were hung on the Huai'an pier. Two official ships docked on the shore. A maid in a green dress hurriedly stepped onto the official ship from the ship plank on the pier.

The maid stopped outside the main cabin and called in a low voice: Sister Yingxue, I'm back.

Yu'er is back, come in quickly, the lady has been waiting. The door was opened, and after the maid quickly stepped in, it was closed again, keeping out the cold wind.

Although the cabin is not big, it is elegantly decorated. There is a strong brazier burning in the room. Two maids in green clothes are lighting incense and making tea. A girl in a light yellow shirt has a gloomy expression. Sit back on the soft backrest.

How is it? What did my uncle say? The maid 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 good to delay the time. Let the young lady rest assured that although the eldest young master has something to do, he will leave first, but there are people from the Su family The steward is here, no problem. The uncle also said that it was only in such a short period of time, and it was an official ship, what could happen, but it was difficult to say this to the young lady.

Forget it, Yingxue, we only have half a month left, and what can happen to the official ship? There is no need to cause trouble for uncle. Go ask Uncle Fu when we will set off. Su Wanyun sighed and said .

But. Yingxue stamped her feet, turned around and went out to find the chief steward sent by Su Mansion. But I felt very angry in my heart. Although my wife died early, the young lady was still the master's legitimate daughter. He was promoted to Jiangnan, but he sent the young lady to the family in the capital. It was said that she would be brought up under the knees of her grandmother for the convenience of marriage, but from then on After all, there is still such a long way to go from Huai'an to Bianjing, so it would be too cruel of me to let a steward take me there.

Yu'er, give me that book. Su Wanyun pointed to the bookshelf. If her father doesn't value her, everything on the ship is according to her own preferences. But if he does, he won't even let his eldest brother give it away. , if the second brother is here.

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

Brother Han? Su Wanyun raised her head, with a hint of red on her face, and asked, Where is he?

Yu'er walked to the window and opened the window a slit. Just now, people could see out from the inside but people outside could not see the extent. She said: Miss, come and see, that boat over there.

Su Wanyun leaned to the window and looked out. Along the pier, there was an endless row of fully loaded watercrafts. At the end was a large ship, which was very close to their ship. On the second floor of the big ship, there were many men with swords hanging on their waists. The big man is dressed in black and has a red cloak, he is very tough.

Han Zong was standing among the group of big men, talking to another man.

Although he was only wearing a blue robe, Su Wanyun still saw him at a glance among the group of big men. When she saw his tall and straight body, her little heart jumped up and down.

Liushuang lit up the fragrance so much that he came over to take a look and said, Where are Mr. Han going? There are so many ships?

Perhaps he is escorting grain and grass to the north. I heard from my father that Brother Han also sent grain and grass there last winter. It happened that Heishui Pass was about to run out of grain. Because of this, General Yang Zhao specially made a memorial to Brother Han to ask for credit. Su Wanyun said. , with a hint of pride in his voice.

Actually, Mr. Han is such a good candidate, why? Liu Shuang stopped talking before he finished speaking.

Su Wanyun's face turned gloomy. Han Chu was naturally a very good person, but after all, he only had the reputation of being a scholar, and he was still working for a business firm. Although his reputation for talent and learning had become popular in Huaiyang and Yangtze, his father still looked at him. No, what my father wants is an in-law who can help his career.

Why is there a woman on that boat? Yu'er shouted softly.

Su Wanyun hurriedly went over to take a look, only to see a woman wearing a blue jacket coming up from the boat building. A man from behind hurriedly rushed up and put a cloak on her. Following the woman, there were several people who came up. He was dressed in black and well-dressed, and he disappeared into the shadows after he came up. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice it at all.

Han Ye was talking to the woman, smiling knowingly from time to time. Su Wanyun felt sour in her heart, and tried harder to look at the woman. The woman looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with her hair casually pulled into a bun and inserted into her hair. She has a hairpin, and her appearance is not very outstanding, but her smiling face makes people feel very amiable, but no matter how amiable she is, now that she is talking to Han Jue like this, Su Wanyun feels that she is a very annoying woman.

Su Wanyun closed the window bitterly, and whispered: Fox!

Yu'er and Liushuang were both dumbfounded. Are they also vixens when they look like that? Miss, your eyes are wrong.

Miss. Uncle Fu called from outside the door.

What's the matter? Su Wanyun said with some anger in her voice.

Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, but he replied dutifully: Young Master Ganghan sent someone to ask. He wants to escort the grain and grass into the country and pass through Bianjing. If you want to go with us.

ah! Su Wanyun's complexion immediately improved, and she smiled and said, It's not a good idea to trouble Mr. Han so much, right?

Uncle Fu was stunned again and said: Miss, it will be much safer if we go with the Ling Family Trading Company's boat. There are many guards on their boat. I heard that the second room master didn't like this Mr. Han Chu very much, but that's it. With two boats, if we go further north, there will definitely be ice on the river. If we follow the Ling family's boat, we won't have to do things like break the ice and clear the way. The eldest lady won't be pretentious about this, right?

Su Wanyun twisted the handkerchief, feeling very annoyed that Uncle Fu couldn't understand what she meant, and said, Then please help Uncle Fu to thank Mr. Han more.

Uncle Fu wiped his sweat, oh, it turns out I didn’t mean to refuse, that’s fine, that’s fine.

Miss, Mr. Han is gone, so he probably didn't take this boat. Yu'er said happily.

Su Wanyun approached her again and saw that Han Ye had indeed disembarked and headed forward. Only the woman was left standing beside the ship. The man beside her was saying something to him. After the woman shook her head, the man stopped. If you say anything else, just take a step back and stand behind her.

Then, Su Wanyun felt that the man seemed to be glancing towards her. His cold gaze made her heart skip a beat, and she quickly retracted her head. Thinking about it, she felt unwilling to do so. It was so far away and the window was so small. How can you see it! Then he cautiously approached them again. Seeing that the man no longer looked at him, he simply observed them carefully.

Well, that woman was quite ordinary when she wasn't talking to Han Zuo. The man next to her was also good-looking. Of course, he was far less handsome than Han Zuo's orchid and jade tree, but his figure was very tall and straight. , well, like a cat ready to exert force at any time! No, it’s not a cat, it’s a tiger!

Su Wanyun made several comments about him looking around, and then came to the conclusion that Brother Han was the prettiest. At this time, another man came over, and Su Wanyun's eyes lit up. Although this man was also dressed in black, but He is truly a beautiful man. From his hair, eyebrows, eyes to red lips, everything is perfect. With his slender figure, other people next to him are like fireflies next to a bright star. Such a handsome and handsome man, if he were a woman, he would be as beautiful as a fairy. !

The handsome man said something next to the woman, and then the woman looked at him with wide eyes. Su Wanyun was so frightened that she closed the window and retreated to the soft couch.

What's wrong, miss? Liu Shuang asked hurriedly.

They seemed to find me looking at them. Su Wanyun said, stroking her chest.

How could it be? Our windows are only so wide. Yu'er gestured at the size of the window.

The weather in January is the coldest, and many places on the river are frozen. With the Ling family's boat breaking the ice in front, the Su family's boat is relatively leisurely. It's just that the weather is too cold, and the cold wind blows in when I open the window.

So Su Wanyun spends most of her time talking and playing with the maids in the cabin with the windows closed. Occasionally, when she opens the window, she can see the woman standing on the ship in front of her, looking at the scenery. After the ship sails, the big men are looking at the scenery. The guards on other ships are no longer visible, so the woman is often surrounded by only a few men. Four of them are often hidden in the shadows and their faces cannot be seen clearly. Only those two men are by her side.

Tell me, why have I never seen her maid? Su Wanyun asked doubtfully after watching her for a few days.

Yes. The maids also agreed. These days, they would go out of the cabin, and the woman would sometimes say hello to them. It looked like the woman was well dressed, and the jewelry on her body was even more expensive, but why was it that every time she saw her, she was always followed by men? Not even a maid.

Could it be that that man is her brother? Su Wanyun guessed. The journey is long and boring, and gossip is the best way to relieve boredom.

It doesn't look like it, or maybe one is the husband and the other is the brother? Liu Shuang guessed.

Well, I saw that the cold man was very close to her. He should be her husband. Yu'er said. During the chat, they had already named those people mysterious women, handsome men, and cold men.

Then the handsome men are brothers? Isn't the gap too big? Xue'er also chimed in and poured a cup of tea that had been brewed and gave it to Su Wanyun.

Well, I think it's the other way around. The handsome 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 stuck on cow dung. Liu Shuang laughed unconsciously.

A few people laughed together, and Yingxue looked at them helplessly. It was so idle on this boat.

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

Miss, those men are dressed similarly to the guards. Don't you think they might just be servants? Yingxue said with a dark face. Although their attires are still very different from those of those big men, and they are not even as gorgeous as those big men, but at least these ones are similar. How can I put it, they feel like the kind of people who can hide their figures at any time. Outfit.

Servant? Su Wanyun was stunned for a moment, then opened the window and looked towards the big ship. She saw the mysterious woman talking to the cold man, and then said: Yingxue, look at it, she looks like she is talking to the servant. ?

Yingxue looked over and saw the woman smiling and patting the cold man on the shoulder, very affectionately, and said doubtfully: It doesn't look like it.

But Miss, if the master finds out about you talking about your foreign husband like this. Yingxue closed the window and said seriously. Miss, you are already thirteen years old. There are differences between men and women! My wife passed away early, and there were two favored aunts in the family. At best, she had a cheerful personality, but at worst, she was neglectful of discipline.

What's the point of us talking in our own room? Don't you think you have to go tell grandma Yingxue? Su Wanyun pouted, and then said with an awkward look: When we get to Bianjing, we won't be able to talk like this. The Su family comes from a scholarly family, and my grandmother is from a noble family. She is very particular about the appearance of women. Don't talk about other people's gossip like this. I'm afraid you won't be able to breathe loudly.

Yingxue also sighed, forget it, there are only a few days left and there are no outsiders in this room, so it doesn't matter much to make the lady happy.
