Sister, don't mind. Sister Chu is young, but she doesn't mean any harm. We all admire her very much. Xu Muqing sat down next to her and said.

What do I have to admire? Ling Qingyu smiled unconsciously. Compared with you ladies, I am an outlier. It was only because I was accepted by Yan San and others that I found my own place to live.

The world that my sister has seen is so vast. Compared with her, we can only live in this small courtyard. Mu Qing is really envious. Xu Muqing said with sincere respect in his eyes.

You are very similar to a friend of mine. Ling Qingyu laughed, and Su Wanyun said the same thing. People in the city look at people outside the city, and people outside the city look at people in the city. In fact, they don't know the other person's suffering.

Sister Ling actually knows Mr. Wang Cheng, right? Seeing Ling Qingyu's face stiffen, Xu Muqing smiled and said, When you said you didn't know Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang walked in with a smile on his face. At that time, my face turned dark.

Hey, it's better not to know each other than to know each other. I've offended both of them. Ling Qingyu sighed.

I see that the two young masters are also broad-minded people. It would be great if my sister apologized to them. Xu Muqing said with a smile.

Hey, forget it, I'll be going to sea in a few days anyway, so I'll offend you if I offend you. Ling Qingyu said. Apologize? Given Wang Xuanzhi’s virtue, am I not seeking death if I apologize?

Going to sea? But I heard from my father that the episode is not peaceful. No sea ships have arrived these days, which is very strange. Xu Muqing said, even the incense should be used sparingly.

We can't do it unless we go to sea. This time all our wealth will be wiped out. Ling Qingyu sighed.

Sister, it's really hard work. Why do you have to go to sea by yourself? Aren't there sailors? Xu Muqing asked.

The sea route is dangerous now. It would be safer for me to lead the boat myself. Seeing Xu Muqing's confusion, Ling Qingyu smiled and said, I am the boat master.

I see. Looking at the sky, Xu Muqing said, If sister feels better, let's go to the banquet. The banquet should be about to begin.

Okay, but Miss Xu, I can't drink because I have a headache. Ling Qingyu looked at Xu Muqing apologetically.

I know, sister is sitting at my table, and we only have juice. Xu Muqing covered her mouth and smiled.

There was only juice because the table was full of movies about girls aged thirteen or fourteen, and Chu Hanyu was also at the table.

Mr. Cheng has agreed to draw a painting later as a gift to the old lady. Chu Hanyu said mysteriously.

The Xu family's yard is not big, so the banquet was held together in the backyard. The men's table and the women's table were separated by cloaks, so they could vaguely see each other.

Ling Qingyu sat upright on the table, listening to the conversations of the girls next to her, while nodding gracefully to indicate that she was listening, and then took the opportunity to eat something elegantly.

The girls were all taken down, and all the maids serving around them were Xu Mansion's maids. Ling Qingyu regretted bringing four maids here, if he had known better, he would have brought Bai Wei.

There was a burst of cheers from the men's table, and the girls at the table couldn't help but want to take a look. Seeing that some people had already stood up, they looked at each other, and they all left with a clatter.

Ling Qingyu shook her head unconsciously. A girl is a girl. The cooks in the Xu family are really good. Many dishes are to her liking. There is no one on the table now, so it is just right to eat.

How can this be done? Xu Chang was happy and declined.

You're welcome, Mr. Xu. We came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts. We can only use this to wish the old lady a long and healthy life. Cheng Jia said with a smile. Xu Chang is his father's protégé and he is a very honest official. He is about to be promoted and can be regarded as a central figure in Qingliu. He wants to give him this face.

The painting table was brought up immediately, and many female guests gathered on the other side of the screen to watch.

Cheng Jia rolled up his sleeves and glanced through the gap in the screen. Then he saw someone on an empty table, who was also eating with his sleeves rolled up. He unconsciously pursed his lips and smiled, writing like a god.

After a short time, the ink painting sketched out a naive child holding a fairy peach and offering it to a kind-hearted old lady. The old lady was very similar to Mrs. Xu, but she had a bit more fairy spirit, and everyone was cheering.

Cheng Jia left a blank space on the painting, put down the pen, and gave up his seat. Wang Xuanzhi rolled up his sleeves and picked up the pen.

There was a low sound of surprise, and Xu Chang was extremely excited. Wang Xuanzhi was known as the best in the world, hard to find, and he had a noble status. If you thought he was a close friend, now he was actually with Cheng Jia Working together, this calligraphy and painting would be hard to come by, it would be a huge honor.

Seeing the girls approaching with flushed faces, taking three steps forward and two steps back, Ling Qingyu hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth and picked up the tea bowl gracefully.

Xu Muqing's face turned red with excitement, and her hands shaking when she picked up the tea bowl, Ling Qingyu unconsciously asked: Miss Xu?

It's okay, I'm just too excited. Xu Muqing said. Remembering that she had been sitting here very politely, she must not have seen the seamless cooperation between the two people. She hurriedly said: Mr. Cheng and Mr. Wang collaborated to create a perfect performance. Tao Tu, if you have time, come over and let us observe it carefully.

Very good?

Of course, it's hard to find a million dollars!

Hard to find millions of dollars? ! ! ! ! ! !

After the male guests, Prince Cheng and the two young masters, took their leave, the female guests were also much quieter. Seeing that it was almost time, Ling Qingyu went to say hello to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu before leaving.

When they got out of the courtyard, the guests hadn't started to leave yet, so it was quiet outside. However, the two teams of guards standing quietly on both sides really surprised Ling Qingyu who stepped out.

Looking left and right, Ling Qingyu walked against the wall towards his carriage, and then at the end of the guard, in front of his carriage, he saw that twenty thousand gold was hard to find.

Ling Qingyu paused and looked at Cheng Jia standing up straight with a smile. Knowing that he couldn't hide anymore, he stepped forward and asked, What's wrong, two adults?

Cheng Jia handed her a roll of official documents in his hand. Ling Qingyu opened it and took a look. It was so long and profound. He rolled up the document and said, Let's be more straightforward.

You don't know the words? Wang Xuanzhi said coldly from the side.

You don’t know how to read, and your whole family doesn’t know how to read! Ling Qingyu also said coldly: My eyesight is not good now and I can't see clearly.

The imperial court sent me and I as envoys to other countries, and specially hired the Ling family ship as a treasure ship to go to sea, and Ling Qingyu, the head of the Ling family, as the treasure ship master. Cheng Jia said with a smile.

Ling Qingyu was stunned and unfolded the long scroll to read it. All the complicated compliments in the front were filtered out. Isn't the most important part in the back what Cheng Jia said? He couldn't help but said angrily: Which of you is harming me!

How can I harm you! If we have this opportunity, your Ling family will no longer be an ordinary shipping company or an ordinary trading company. It's such a huge advantage to harm you! Wang Xuanzhi said angrily from the side.

Not you!? Ling Qingyu asked, glaring at Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia shook his head slightly and said, This is what the king mentioned.

Don't worry, I'm on the boat, so the Xie family won't dare to trouble you. Wang Xuanzhi said angrily.

I took it easy! Ling Qingyu wanted to curse loudly, but he was holding an official document with the seal of the Political Affairs Hall in his hand, but in the land of Dazhou, he could not refuse it at all, or in other words, he had no choice but to refuse!

One more thing. We came in a hurry, so we had to stay at Master Ling's house. Please show us the way. Cheng Jia smiled slightly. The Wang family's proposal really surprised him, but if this matter could not be changed, then he could only accept it, and then rush over quickly to block Ling Qingyu and her boat, including from now on, keeping a close eye on her to prevent her from running away. road.

Aren't you officials? Is there no official inn in Hangzhou? I am the only woman in my family. There are differences between men and women, so it's better not to have any. Ling Qingyu snorted coldly.

I just heard at the table that the Ling family's Yuyuan Garden has the best scenery of the West Lake. It is naturally much better than the Guanyi. Cheng Jia opened the fan elegantly and said with a smile.

You're so big, but you just want to keep an eye on me to prevent me from running away. Damn you, Cheng Jia!

****

The people cannot fight with an official, especially a rogue official!

Ling Qingyu was speechless and burst into tears as she took the two officials and their personal guards back to the Rain-Wanying Garden. She had already called Han Xie and Cai Jingfang back and greeted them in front of the yard.

I'll leave these two items to you, don't bother me, and tell Ding Dong. Ling Qingyu whispered.

I know. Han Zong also looked depressed. Everyone would be depressed if this happened!

Where are you going? Wang Xuanzhi asked after seeing Ling Qingyu fleeing after being told.

Ah oh oh oh, I have a headache. I have to go back and lie down. Covering his head, Ling Qingyu quickly ran away.

Yan San, I really want to burn incense. Tell me, we haven't had a smooth year this year. Who did I offend? Ling Qingyu hummed as she climbed onto the bed.

Since they insist on boarding the ship, they can just throw them into the sea when they go out to the sea. Yan San rubbed her head and said.

What a great idea! Ling Qingyu was stunned for a while, then sighed again, wondering how she could do such a thing.

If you can't bear it, just arrest him and imprison him in Lingjia Village. Yan San said again.

Wait a minute, what does reluctance mean? Ling Qingyu asked.

The two of them, Yan San, nodded slightly and said nothing.

Yan San, this is how reluctant you are. Ling Qingyu got up, threw him down, and then kissed him.

Han Ye vacated the best courtyard in the front yard and allowed Wang Xuanzhi, Cheng Jia and their entourage to live in it.

Cheng Jia didn't have many followers, just the four boys and four guards, but Wang Xuanzhi had more, not only the boys as guards but also two maids.

Because it was an envoy sent by the imperial court, and there were five hundred people in the imperial army accompanying him, Han Zong had no control over those people, and handed them over to Xu Chang to receive them.
