Ministers and others get married by decree

The two are going their separate ways, let's talk about Chu Lou first.

In fact, it has only been two or three days, but as you can see, it seems that a month has passed.

When Chu Lou returned to his small cabin, his luggage was still laid out, even the bedding he had left before he left was still in a mess.He sighed, still sitting by the window, thinking about writing a letter to his father.

There is also some care in writing this letter. You must not mention Chen Danian's matter explicitly. If the letter is lost or intercepted, it will be troublesome.

As he picked up his pen and carefully considered his words, he guessed the identity of that person.

It seems that it must not be someone from the Jiufu Yamen, it shouldn't be Zhao Yiqing, right?

Chu Lou couldn't help but stop writing, with a serious expression on his face.

Impossible, he obviously heard that the leader of the Nine Houses called him "huo impermanence", which meant that he was tall, thin and fair-skinned like Xie Bi'an, and looked like a scholar!That man was sneaky, with his head covered and his face covered. He didn't have the prestige in the rumors at all!

The more Chu Lou thought about it, the more curious he became, and he completely forgot that not long ago he decided to forget each other in Jianghu, and planned to ask someone to find out the identity of that person for him as soon as he got off the boat.

After the tank boat left Tianjin Mansion, it arrived at Cangzhou Mansion two days later. A group of people got off the boat, and another group came up.Chu Lou went out to eat, when he saw two men dressed as warriors enter the opposite room.

He thought about the two girls who lived in the opposite room, and felt uncomfortable, so he walked out of the cabin, but he didn't pay attention to the eyes of the two people staying on him.

On this day, during the day, dark clouds hung low over the river, but the rain was pattering, which was not pleasant.So in the evening, the weather became even hotter and hotter. Even though Chu Lou was not too delicate, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

He sat by the window and stretched out his hand to check, but it still didn't rain, so he couldn't help sighing.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the door.Taking advantage of the darkness to take a closer look, you can see shadows outside, and there are clearly two people standing outside the door.

Chu Lou frowned, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

What is the curse on this ship?A tank boat, but there are always rats without eyes?

He walked to the door calmly and listened carefully, only to hear two people talking very softly outside the door.

One person asked: "How many buds are in the collapsed cage?"

Another person replied: "Liu. It's really a pinch, and it's still hanging on the fire."

One person asked again: "Do you have a note?"

Another person replied: "If you step on the plate, read the short story, just pick the smoker and let it flow straight!"

This conversation must have been misty for others to hear, but Chu Lou could hear it clearly.All are nonsense.

Although he grew up in the capital, he is the second generation of standard officials, but where is his teacher?That's an escort agency that specializes in going all over the world!If you want to say that the civil society has a lot of gossip, it's not the Escort.The translation of the conversation just now probably means that these two people are eyeing him and plan to smoke some drugs to deal with him.

Still stepping on it, stepping on it and not finding that he has a knife and a sword, it really can't be on the stage!

Chu Lou sneered silently, turned around and lay back on the bed, stuffed his nose with two balls of paper, and still held his breath.He looked at the cabin door quietly, and sure enough, a slender straw protruded from the gap in the wood, and then a puff of white smoke was blown in.

He closed his eyes and waited for a moment before the door was pried open and slowly opened inwards.The two black shadows stopped at the door first, and after the drug had dissipated, they saw the figure lying on the bed motionless for a long time, then walked in relaxedly, and closed the door behind them.

Both of them covered their handkerchiefs and walked to the bed, staring at Chu Lou's face and clicking their tongues.

"This plate is really a piece of cake, and Laohe who sells it for money has a lot of medlars."

The corners of Chu Lou's mouth twitched.

What do you mean?

Will you speak?What do you mean he looks beautiful?

Just when one of them reached out to touch Chu Lou's collar, Chu Lou opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand to grab his wrist, and twisted it down forcefully.

"Oh, wake up—!! Ya'er is alive, Liang Qingzi greets you!" The thief wailed loudly.

"I beckon you, sir!" Chu Lou pulled the man forward, clasped the other man's neck with one hand like an iron claw, shook his left hand, and the long sword came out of its sheath. On the thief's Adam's apple.

There was a dead silence in the room.

Chu Lou sneered again and again: "I tell you to make your tricks brighter, otherwise when you come in, you will be swiped and bitten!"

When the two of them heard this, they thought it was something to eat and drink, Zan'er Liang!To put it bluntly, everyone is on the right track, and if they encounter hard stubble, they should be unlucky!

Chu Lou tied the two together and searched them all over. Sure enough, they found a lot of drugs, money, purses, and even a bellyband. I don't know which girl suffered the disaster.He was so angry that his teeth were itching, he dragged him to the bow of the boat, and threw it to Chang San.

Chang San was taken aback: "This is?"

Chu Lou said with a straight face, "These two thieves are probably working with water thieves, and they only abduct and sell young boys and girls on the passing ships."

Chang San was terrified, his ship was an official ship!If any relatives of an official's family were in trouble on this ship, they, the petty officials on board, would be in bad luck!

He hastily called the soldiers guarding the bow and stern of the ship, and ordered them to put the person in the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship for guard, and send him directly to the government office at the next stop.

"Brother Lou," he saluted Chu Lou gratefully, "I really don't know how to repay you."

Chu Lou waved his hand: "Brother Chang San is too polite, I was just snatched into the room by a thief, and it was just a matter of convenience." Next time I will definitely not take the water boat, and I will not experience the sense of security, but there will be a lot of troubles.

Under Chang San's deliberate control, this turmoil was resolved silently.Some of the cabin passengers on the left and right sides of Chulou were fast asleep, some of them heard it but didn't understand it, and those who were timid and didn't dare to probe their brains, so they all fooled them.Only a few people found that the guards on the ships were much stricter, and the inspections were even stricter when they arrived at the port.

So the rest of the journey was calm and uneventful, making it even more boring.

In late August, the ship finally arrived at Jiangnan Port.

There are poems:

"The boat goes out of Jiahe Wuli City, and the monk tower and mountain tower are towering together.

The wine flags dance with the wind, and the fishing nets are dragged horizontally. "

This refers to the very vivid scene where there are many temples and pagodas in the south of the Yangtze River, and the colorful flags of the restaurants are waving.

Jiaxing port is full of people and lively.

There was a group of ten or so men who were still conspicuous in the bustling crowd.These people are all tall and strong, and they all wear green cloth narrow-sleeved shirts. The belt, cuffs and leggings are all black, which set off their personalities neatly and neatly.You know, this place is located in the south after all, due to the water and soil, the per capita is not enough. At this time, a dozen tall and big boys are dressed in the same clothes, doesn't it cause a visual shock?

At least Chu Lou had seen them from the bow before he disembarked.

"Senior Brother! Big Senior Brother!" He waved his hands excitedly and shouted.

The man at the front was the first to hear it, and when he looked intently, he was immediately excited: "It's the youngest!"

"It's him! Junior brother!" Everyone else was excited.

I didn't see how they moved, and a dozen people crowded to the shore.

Chu Lou carried the burden on his back and jumped up and down excitedly.

He hasn't been back for three years!Although there is constant communication with Shimen, but after all, I can't see anyone!The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and everything in Tianjin Mansion was instantly forgotten by him.

The boat finally docked, and the crowd who were waiting at the port inexplicably emptied out, leaving only Chu Lou and his brothers.As soon as the crew lowered the hanging ladder, the senior brothers shouted and urged Chulou to jump down.

Eldest brother Ning Yu opened his arms and said, "Yaoer, jump down, senior brother will follow you!"

Two, three, four, five are all around, you squeeze me, I squeeze you: "I'm coming! Yao'er jumps to me!"

Chu Lou: "..."

You don't have to.

I am not the little Douding I was a few years ago.

He bent down to see the expectant eyes of his seniors, and smiled helplessly.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and they saw a man in blue jump off the tall tank boat, and landed on the ground lightly and skillfully!

Ning Yu supported Chu Lou, looked him up and down, and proudly said: "When I grow up, I'm a man!"

Chu Lou smiled modestly, very reserved.

The second senior brother Ning Fei suddenly said: "It's still such a stinky fart."

Chu Lou: "??" Second senior brother, what's your problem?

The rest of the people all laughed.

"Let's go, Master is waiting for you at home." Ning Yu rubbed the back of his neck affectionately, and led him away from the port in groups.

"How do we go back?" Chu Lou watched as he walked.I haven't been here for three years, and the surrounding area of ​​the port has changed a lot. Sure enough, both sides of the canal, especially the wharf, are prime locations for development.

Ning Yu pointed to the dozen or so black horses at the exit of the pier.

Chu Lou was stunned: "Wow! Did our bodyguard send it?"

Ning Fei patted him on the head: "What stupid things are you talking about? This is a first-class horse that your father found for our family to buy."

The third senior brother and the fourth senior brother are a pair of twins, and they winked together: "Fat is indeed a hair, thirty more horses, but it has brought us a lot of business!"

Ning Yu patted Ning Fei's paw away, and said to Chu Lou, "General Chu's birthday gift for our master has arrived before you arrive. Master was so happy that he drank an extra glass of wine."

A group of people went to the hitch post and got on their horses.Chu Lou walked to the black horse left for him, patted the horse's back, and rubbed its head, feeling very satisfied.

He was actually a little surprised, he didn't expect his father to do so many things behind his back.

Like this time he sneaked away by himself, originally he wondered why his father didn't look for him, but he didn't expect his father to even prepare a birthday gift for him.Isn't this the same as acquiescing to him to stay longer in Jiaxing?

The Weiyuan Escort Bureau is next to the South Lake in Jiaxing. This lake and mountains are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant, so there are many private manors.

According to Chu Lou, this is a low-density and light luxury community, focusing on Chinese-style bungalows.The Escort was able to settle here, thanks to the foresight of his master and ancestors, who bought a piece of land.But after all, they were sent to do business. The location of the bodyguard bureau was relatively close to Qianjie, and there was still some distance from several private manors near the lake. The orientation of the doors was also different, which reduced many disputes.

Chu Lou and his party rode across the lake, crossed Qian Street, and came to the gate of Weiyuan Escort Bureau.

There are four corners of the Escort with overhanging eaves, four plaques with black background and gold lacquer "Weiyuan Escort" are hung in the middle, there are four rows of horse posts on the left and right, red lanterns are hung under the corridor, and a huge triangular dart flag is inserted on each side.
