Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

After breakfast the next day, Ling Qingyu went to the main hall of the outer courtyard after tidying up.

It's so early for Master Ling to be here. Wang Xuanzhi said sarcastically as he stirred the tea in the bowl.

It's relatively early. If you don't have two adults, you can still sleep a little longer today. Ling Qingyu sat on the empty seat and said, Okay, let's get down to business. Where are you going on this mission? Please give me a list of the number of people and the rewards.

Headmaster Ling is not angry anymore? Cheng Jia said with a smile. Yesterday I was so angry that I had black lines all over my head, but today I feel so refreshed? You're not planning on throwing us into the sea, are you?

I'm angry, so why don't you just ride on my boat for nothing? Ling Qingyu glanced at him with a smile.

Let's board the ship today to see if there's anything else we need to buy. Wang Xuanzhi said calmly.

I'm sorry, this happened too suddenly for you. My ship was already full of cargo. There are so many of you who want to board the ship. We have to vacate it today. Ling Qingyu turned around and said to Bai Wei: Here. I'll change to a lighter cup of tea.

Then tomorrow. Wang Xuanzhi put down his tea bowl and said.

I've already decided to watch the Qiantang River tide tomorrow, but I don't have time. Ling Qingyu said with a smile.

What do you mean by pushing back and forth like this? the third person sitting in the lobby, who had been ignored by Ling Qingyu, said angrily.

Who is this lord? Ling Qingyu asked with a smile.

This is Mr. Hu, the young minister of Honglu Temple. He sent us here specially. Cheng Jiadao then turned back to Mr. Hu and said: Sir Hu, what Master Ling said is right. We are not short of these few days. , but it is the reward that the imperial court ordered to bring this time, I wonder if Mr. Hu has made arrangements?

Mr. Hu was stunned and looked at Wang Xuanzhi. Didn't Mr. Wang say that he would use the Ling family's goods as a reward?

Uh-huh, doesn't the Ling family have goods? Let's lend them to the court for use first, and then replenish them when we get back, right? Master Hu said with a smile.

Haha. Ling Qingyu looked like I knew he would, and his eyes turned around the three people's faces with a hint of contempt, and said: All I brought with me this time are low-grade porcelain. If you want to use it as a reward from the court, , I'm afraid it will really damage the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty.

Mr. Hu was stunned for a moment and was about to speak, but Wang Xuanzhi already said: Go to Xu Chang and ask the Hangzhou government to arrange the items you want to bring this time.

Yes, I will go find Mr. Xu right now. In response, Mr. Hu stood up and left.

You two have arrived in Hangzhou for the first time. You must have a lot of appointments today, so I won't disturb you. I hope you can give me the number of people accompanying you as soon as possible. Ling Qingyu said with a smile.

Why are you in such a hurry? Wang Xuanzhi put down the tea bowl and asked.

Of course I'm anxious. My ship is a cargo ship. There are so many people here suddenly. Why don't you prepare a place to sleep? Or are you willing to sleep in the cargo hold? Ling Qingyu said with his eyes widened.

Did you sleep in the cargo hold on the ship? A female voice interrupted.

Ling Qingyu was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a very beautiful maid in a bright yellow shirt standing behind Wang Xuanzhi and staring angrily at him. He smiled unconsciously and asked, Who is this?

Shut up! Wang Xuanzhi shouted, and Banxue immediately pulled Banmei back.

Not your lord? I thought all the maids of the Wang family had official positions. Ling Qingyu sneered, no longer looking at Wang Xuanzhi's face, and turned to Cheng Jia: There are some guest rooms on my ship, but they are very small. Now It’s too late to rebuild, so what? We can just wait until the new ship comes out.”

Headmaster Ling is joking, Jia naturally can do anything, write down the list of our personnel and give it to Headmaster Ling. Cheng Jia said with a smile.

The boy behind him immediately took out a pile of orders and handed them to Ying Shisan, who had already reached out to take them.

Here is the list of all the official personnel of this mission, as well as my personal entourage. Cheng Jia stood up and smiled at Ling Qingyu: The weather is nice today. Mr. Ling, you don't mind if Jia comes with us, right?

Ling Qingyu's face froze, and when he was about to speak, Cheng Jia had already smiled at Wang Xuanzhi and said, Brother Wang, I'd rather trouble you to urge Mr. Xu. The emperor is in a hurry, so we can't waste this time. As for the sea ship, Ling and I It shouldn’t hurt if the master goes and takes a look, right?”

Ling Qingyu was speechless and had to stand up.

Seeing the two of them leaving hand in hand, Wang Xuanzhi's face turned completely dark, and he said coldly: Come here, send Banmei back to Bianjing. I can't afford such a person here.

Young Master! Banmei was startled, knelt down and said, Sir, Banmei just saw that she was too rude, so... please forgive Banmei this time.

Wang Xuanzhi snorted coldly and said, Send away. He stood up and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Banxue looked at Banmei, who was crying on the ground, and shook her head slightly, so what if you were given to the young master by his wife, this is not Bianjing, and it is not Bianjing where all the gatekeepers in the prime minister's palace are older than the seventh-rank officials.

Is five days enough?

What? Ling Qingyu retracted his gaze from the window and turned around to ask.

Five days to adjust, isn't it enough? Cheng Jia said with a faint smile.

Enough. Ling Qingyu nodded.

The emperor just wants spices. As long as we get the spices he wants, we can return to the voyage. I will try not to cause you any trouble. Cheng Jia smiled slightly.

The Wang family's people are on the boat. It's impossible not to cause trouble. Ling Qingyu looked out the window again.

Jia has always wanted to visit the extra chapter. Mr. Ling has been away in the extra chapter for so long. I wonder if he can be Jia's guide then? Cheng Jia said with a smile.

Ling Qingyu had no choice but to turn his head back and said: You are the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so naturally someone will receive you.

You said you are going to Qiantang to watch the tide tomorrow? Cheng Jia asked.

If you say you want to go together, then I won't go. Ling Qingyu's hair stood on end immediately.

It really makes Jia sad. Cheng Jia lowered his eyebrows, covered the look in his eyes, and sighed.

Ling Qingyu stopped talking and turned to look out the window.

The Ling family's pier is some distance from the Hangzhou pier and extends from the official pier.

The carriage stopped at the intersection. Ling Qingyu paused after getting off the car, thinking about what excuse he could use to prevent Cheng Jia from entering.

Jia won't go in, I'll wait for you at the tea stall over there. Cheng Jia got off the carriage behind her and said calmly.

Ling Qingyu was stunned and looked back at him. Seeing his crooked eyebrows and a smile on his face, he said, Okay, I'll take you to watch the tide tomorrow.

Cheng Jia smiled unconsciously and saw her leading people to the path, so he walked to the tea stall beside the pier and found a table to sit down.

The bookcase has already run over quickly and wiped all the tables and chairs carefully. After Cheng Jia sat down, he said: Master, this place is not very clean. Why don't you go to the car to get your own?

Cheng Jia shook his head and said, No, I'll taste the taste here.

The store brought tea and snacks, looked at them carefully, and quickly backed away.

Looking at the turbid big shot tea, Cheng Jia suddenly remembered what Ling Qingyu said once. She said, what is a young lady from aristocratic family? They are all piled up with money. They only know about enjoyment. They don’t know about grains or crops. Apart from romance, they don’t know any survival skills. The wealth in the family was earned by the fathers who worked hard, and then they put the money in the house to pile up all kinds of things. Education, the third generation knows how to eat, the fifth generation knows how to dress, and in the end they are a bunch of losers. What is the use of such a noble family when the real disaster strikes?

I remembered that she was sitting by the campfire, eating barbecue, her eyes narrowed in happiness, and then she said, look, if you escape, will these be less delicious than the food that has gone through hundreds of processes at home?

Cheng Jia took a sip of tea from a large bowl. The astringent and bitter taste of the tea made Cheng Jia almost spit it out, but he swallowed it forcefully. He looked up at the pier. Although it was already autumn, the weather was still a bit hot and there were people coming and going on the pier. The hard workers were shirtless and covered in sweat.

Brother, I heard that the Ling family is hiring someone today?

Yeah, there's a lot of work these days, please bring more people there.

Is their boss going to sea?

The flag of the Fengshen has been hung up, so the leader must be heading to sea.

I really want to get on the Fengshen.

What are you dreaming about? Most people can be a sailor on the Fengshen. I would be satisfied if I could be recruited as a sailor on the God of Fortune.

You failed again this time, right?

Isn't it because I just had a bad meal that day? I will definitely make it next time.

Boss Shen is here, go quickly!

A big man appeared on the path, and the coolies at the tea stall immediately rushed over. After a while, the dock became quiet, and everyone headed towards the Ling family dock.

father.

Hey, what's the matter? the old man at the tea stall replied, rubbing his hands.

A young man ran over with a baggage on his back and said, The God of Fortune has left early. I won't be home for the holidays. You and mother take care.

Hey, be careful and follow the master's lead! the old man shouted to his son who had already run away.

Got it! The young man waved his hand and ran quickly into the path.

Old man He, are you willing to send your son on the boat?

Of course I'm willing to follow Master Ling.

Why do you say that?

Seeing that it was the young master who had been sitting next to him who spoke up, everyone else in the tea stall was silent for a moment, and then the tea stall owner smiled and said: On the sea, the most important thing is to have a good boatman and a good captain. As for the leader Ling, everyone When encountering storms and other things, I always stand in the most dangerous place. In strong winds and waves, if I follow her, I can get through it. The old man is worried about other ships, but he feels very relieved when he follows Master Ling's ship.

Old man He, what you said is wrong. Your son is not boarding the Fengshen, but the Wealth God. A person next to him said with a smile.

The boat master of the God of Wealth is the master's direct disciple, so he is naturally very powerful. In short, I can rest assured, old man.

That's true. The Ling family is very strict in selecting sailors. It's rare for your son to be selected.

Both the book desk and the painting desk glanced at their young master. They followed him and Ling Qingyu to Jiangling, and then shared their sorrows in Jiangling. Seeing that his eyes were now crinkled with a smile and he looked very happy, they were slightly relieved.

Hey, Sanli, didn't you say you should rest today? Why are you here?

Stop talking, grab a bun and I'll get on the boat.

The Lucky God is leaving too?

Let's all go, good luck, wealth, longevity and happiness. Let's go now. No more talk. Brothers, please wait for me to come back to treat you.

Is nothing going to happen? Didn't you say you would leave after the festival?

How can something happen? If you can get on the Ling family's boat, you can get back a hundred taels of silver a year. It's a pity that they basically don't recruit outsiders.

It seemed that it was indeed a big trouble for her. Cheng Jia lowered his head and took another sip from the large bowl of tea. After a few more sips, the tea took on a hint of sweetness after the initial bitterness.

After sitting for more than an hour, Cheng Jia had already tasted the tea from the big bowl, and sat comfortably on the long bench in the tea stall with his eyes squinted.

When the sailors who hurried from the pier to the Lingjia pier passed by the tea stall, they couldn't help but glance at the young man in Tsing Yi who was sitting on the simple tea stall on the dirty pier, but he seemed to have become a painting.
