Ministers and others get married by decree

He thought about it for a while, and felt that people really couldn't be idle, so he turned back to the house, took a pen in his mouth and wrote down the deeds of fighting the water thief last night in detail, and planned to send it to Liu Jingyu as soon as he landed, and asked the other party to help him. He inquired about the situation at home.

After all, according to his father's personality, it was not normal for him to be let go so quietly without any reaction.

After Chu Lou finished writing, he narrowed his eyes and examined it before sealing the letter with satisfaction.Now Brother Yu doesn't have to worry that he doesn't have enough money. Miss Qin will still have to pay him when Jiangnan lands on the shore.

When the sun was setting and the lights on the boat were brightly lit, Chu Lou changed into a dark bunt and tied his cuffs and trouser legs before going out.

He leaned against Qin Fengchi's cabin door, reached out and knocked the door: "Miss Qin, it's me." He only heard rustling inside, and then there was the sound of light and lively footsteps approaching.

"Who are you?" A crisp voice came from behind the door.

Chu Lou heard the footsteps were different, and guessed it was the little girl next to Qin Fengchi, so he raised his voice and said, "I'm the guard hired by your girl, I'm here to ask you if you can eat, if you can't go out, I will help you Go get some food."

That is to say, no one came out from the diagonally opposite door this afternoon, and I knew that I hadn't eaten yet.

At this time, there was another very light footstep in the room, and then the wooden hatch opened inward with a creak.A tall woman with dark temple hair and white skin stood behind the door.

She turned her head slightly, without looking directly at him, she just pursed her red lips lightly, and said softly, "Master."

Chu Lou was stunned for a moment.

His mind went blank for a moment, and a deep magnetic male voice seemed to sound in his ears and said slowly:

Spring is here, everything is recovering, and the prairie has come to animal crossing again...

"You are stupid, our wife called you!" The little girl hid behind the door and made a face at him.

Chu Lou suddenly came back to his senses, his forehead was already red to the root of his neck.

He was extremely annoyed, bowed his head and said in embarrassment: "Girl, don't you call me son, I, I am Chu Yunkai, you..." Before he finished speaking, he wanted to strangle himself to death.

If it's not relative, how can I ask other girls to call me by my name?

Qin Fengchi covered his lips and smiled lowly: "Young Master Chu, you are kind to me, how can I call you by your name at will?"

Chu Lou looked up at him suspiciously, wondering if it was his illusion, why Miss Qin felt so much colder to him today for no reason.

He couldn't help being disappointed, and said in a low voice: "I'm just the girl's guard now, at least... don't be so polite." He paused, and then said: "The girl hasn't eaten yet, right? It's too late, the bow of the boat There are so many people, you don’t need to come out, let me get some food.”

Qin Fengchi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then let Song'er go with you, and let her buy the young master's food, don't refuse."

Chu Lou was not short of the food expenses, but he didn't dare to disappoint Miss Qin's kindness, so he agreed.He watched Qin Fengchi close the door, and then followed Song'er to the bow.

He touched his forehead, which was still slightly hot, and he couldn't help but feel even more regretful.

Hey, I was so embarrassing just now!

"Chu Huwei don't need to be depressed," the little girl named Song'er turned around with a smile, "It's not uncommon for anyone who sees my wife to react like you!"

Chu Lou was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react for a while.

Song Er turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to walk forward, even walking and jumping, but she was very lively, but she didn't know how her words made Chu Lou's heart fluctuate.

Chu Lou thought to himself, although he had already heard about Qin Fengchi's origin from Chang San, but he didn't care much at that time.But Song Er's few words confirmed Chang San's guess.

Miss Qin is indeed a member of Pingkang.

In fact, Qin Fengchi's background has nothing to do with him, but at this moment, he felt a little regret for nothing.As for why and what he regretted, he subconsciously didn't dare to delve into it.

The stern crew was very busy, and the passengers packed steamed buns and fish soup in groups of threes and hid behind the mast to eat, enjoying the rare refreshing coolness along the way. Most of the cabin passengers sent their servants to buy food, not at the bow stay.

Song'er was not tall, so she leaned beside Chu Lou to have a look.

She looked around and said crisply: "Give me a piece of fresh fish meat, a small plate of shrimp and bream, a plate of mutton steamed buns, and a jar of crucian carp tofu soup. It must be complete from head to tail, Monana Fragments of fish meat and fish bones are fooling people! Don’t add coriander to the soup!” After saying that, he glanced at Chulou and said, “What do you eat? Order it soon, so I can pay for it.”

Chu Lou was dazzled by her babbling words, he hesitated for a long time and only pointed to the meatloaf, "Then five loaves and a bowl of soup."

After hearing this, Song'er didn't laugh at him for eating too much, and ordered him to serve the plate after paying for it, while she walked back with only a jar of hot soup.

After returning to the cabin, Song'er asked him, "Are you going to eat with us, or go home to eat?"

Chu Lou didn't hesitate.At this time of year, the defense between men and women is not too strict, otherwise Qin Fengchi, a mere girl, would not be able to travel alone with her maid, but because of his more than ten years of tutoring in this world, he is still terrified of being alone with women.

He declined and said: "I'm a man, it's not easy to go in and out of your residence, you'd better go back and eat by yourself."

Song'er was only polite, and nodded when he heard the words, motioning him to pass over the vegetables he bought: "Go back to the house and put the cakes down, if you have a bowl, give it to me, I'll fill it with soup and bring it to you, if you don't, If you don’t have a bowl, I can find one for you.”

Chu Lou didn't remember what bowl to bring, and said hastily, "Miss Song'er, please find me a bowl."

The two then headed back to their respective rooms.

Qin Song came to the table in front of the window with the food and hot soup. Seeing the master leaning against the porthole with his arms folded, looking worried, he couldn't help but lighten his steps.Master has been sulking since crawling back wet last night.

"Master, I'll serve that man a bowl of soup." He reported in a low voice.

Qin Fengchi responded casually, and said after a long while: "Pick up a big bowl."

Qin Song complied, and quickly filled him with a bowl of fish soup, picked up a few pieces of fresh fish and tofu, and arranged bamboo chopsticks for him, put the mutton steamed buns on the side, and then went to find a bowl Serve soup.

Chu Lou ate five meatloaf with the milky white fish soup, hiccupped contentedly, and thought: This free meal is delicious.In this way, he didn't have to use the money ticket that Brother Yu gave him.

Speaking of it, this job is extremely simple, after all, this is an official ship, how many people on board are there who are not long-sighted?Hmm... just two... as long as the pair of master and servant don't come out and walk around, there will be no big or small troubles.

As for how much Miss Qin paid him for going ashore, Chu Lou didn't care much about it.He is not short of money, and when he arrives at the master's school, this trip will be a good topic for his brothers to brag about.

In this way, a few more days passed, the river became wider day by day, the people on both sides of the river became more and more crowded, and the number of boats also increased.These are all harbingers of the arrival at the big wharf, and on the way from Tongzhou to the south, the first stop is Tianjin Port.

At noon that day, the outside suddenly became noisy, and loud chants sounded one after another in the distance.The closer the boat gets to the pier, the shallower the water surface and the heavier the draft, and only the towed boat can slowly dock.

Chu Lou had already asked the master and servant at the diagonally opposite door before, Miss Qin seldom showed up, Song Er told him that they would stay in Tianjin Mansion for a few days.Now that he has taken over the job of guarding, he can't just go on his own way.

Several people don't plan to change ships, so they don't need to bring too many things.He simply packed his luggage and knocked on the opposite door.

It was Song'er who opened the door. She was holding a loose bundle, but she was also dressed formally. There were also quite a lot of fine silk bracelets covering her hair and ear plugs.

Qin Fengchi was dressed in lotus root, lotus pink and green and stood behind Song'er. He was wearing a mat hat with only his neck slightly exposed. His figure was slender and elegant, attracting attention.

Even a goose like Chu Lou has to admit that this girl is quite beautiful.

Getting off the boat was a bit crowded.Chu Lou asked Chang San about it. Generally, people who follow the tank boats are long-distance passengers. If they just want to go to Tianjin and other short-distance people, they usually don’t care about the price difference. They often look for a passenger boat seriously. more convenient.

Although there were not many people who bought a ticket and disembarked in Tianjin, the tank boat was supposed to berth for a few days, and the passengers on board would inevitably go to Fucheng, so it was easy and fast.Even those foot passengers crowded in the cargo hold also took the opportunity to carry the cargo load and do small business in Fucheng for a few days.

Standing on Qin Fengchi's side, Chu Lou blocked the crowd behind her with one hand and protected one side with the other. He had to try his best to avoid physical contact with her, sweating profusely, and finally felt a little bit of hard work.

He escorted the pair of master and servant down the boat, and the word bodyguard came to mind unexpectedly.Hey, isn't he working as a bodyguard now?

A group of three people lined up to verify their identities and entered Fucheng, and there was another lively scene in Fucheng.Chu Lou looked around and saw that there were many Liao people in the city, but the Liao people here looked calm and dressed a little differently from the Liao people in Hedong, showing signs of naturalization.

"Where does the girl plan to stay these few days?" He turned his head and asked.

Qin Fengchi's voice was separated by the hat, and it was a little vague: "I have some old friends who I want to visit, and I will live here for a few days, so I will trouble you to wait."

Chu Lou nodded: "Miss, do you want to accompany me?"

Qin Fengchi said lightly: "Thank you young master, there is no need, I will be the young master for a few days when I am away." After she finished speaking, she called Song'er, and the little girl took out a lotus-colored purse and stuffed it directly to Chu Lou.

"Master, you have to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Since I hired you, this is the right thing to do. Please don't refuse."

Chu Lou was stunned for a moment, the words of refusal were on the verge of his lips, he looked down at the delicate purse in his hand, and for some reason swallowed it back.

He calmed down and said in a low voice: "I'll live in a mansion with you. I'll be guarding in the room for the past few days. If you need anything, just go back to the mansion to find me... Wait for you, wait for you to come back, I'll wait for you at night." Go play in the street again."

After hearing his words, Song'er's face softened a lot.

Qin Fengchi's voice seemed to be smiling again: "I've made a note, and if there is anything to do, go back to the mansion shop to look for the young master."

Chu Lou nodded solemnly.

The three went to the nearest mansion.

The young waiter bowed to welcome them into the hall, while sweeping the three of them up and down with his eyeballs, You Qi circled around Qin Fengchi's body, and asked enthusiastically: "Everyone, do you want to stay at the hotel if you are a top student?" ?”

"Stay in the hotel!" The little girl Song'er said crisply.Like a rich man, she booked two first-class rooms without blinking an eye, and then threw the silver pieces to the waiter.

"This way!" The waiter smiled, brushed off his sleeves, took the money and sent them all the way upstairs, "The best one faces south, facing the back garden, quiet and bright! Come over here, sir!"

A few people came to the third floor and walked all the way to the innermost corridor, and it was really quiet.

The waiter first pushed away one of the rooms and asked them to look.

Qin Fengchi stepped in first, followed by Song Er and Chu Lou.I saw that the upper room is open and spacious, the light is not very strong, green plants hang outside the wooden windows, the room smells of fresh wood and grass leaves, and the bedding is clean and tidy, and there is a long couch under the window, which is really elegant.

Song'er swept around, curled her lips and said to the waiter: "It's barely enough, I'll give you some money later, you go to the street to buy more ice, your house won't be able to accommodate people at noon!"

"Yes, yes," the waiter replied with a sneer, "This room has the best view and is the quietest, and the orientation is at this season, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"The main reason is that it's too small," Song'er said critically, and then reluctantly said, "Forget it, if you have anything to eat in this shop, just send a few over, don't make my wife hungry."

The waiter nodded hurriedly: "Let's go, the fried sheep belly in our store is the best, and the bean curd roll is also a specialty. There is also a steamer cake at the end of the street, which has red bean filling and mung bean filling rose The one with sauce, soft and sweet, all ladies love it, go buy some for you guys to try?"

Chu Lou drooled a little when he heard that.Some of these dishes have been passed down through the ages, but now they are the most traditional and distinctive.Must eat!

His expression was so obvious that Song'er couldn't help laughing out loud.The waiter said it was the little lady's favorite food, but he was drooling, isn't it funny?

"Pick up a few famous ones from your family, remember, the dishes must be fresh, don't use those that have been around for a long time," Song'er said, "That cake..."

She glanced at Chu Lou sideways, and saw that the other party hesitated to speak, so she let go of her mouth in satisfaction, "One serving is like a cake, but the amount is smaller. My wife doesn't like sweet things."

Then he told the waiter clearly that the one in the room who wanted to eat cakes was Chu Lou, and no one else.

The waiter responded with a smile, pretended not to understand and left quickly.Chu Lou touched his nose in embarrassment, feeling annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to choke with Song'er in front of Miss Qin.

He thought angrily, if he had known it earlier, he would have endured it, why are you greedy?Is there anything delicious on the street, when the two of them go out, he can eat whatever he wants, how could he be reduced to being ridiculed by a little girl!

After eating, Chu Lou returned to his room, and the side room suddenly fell silent.

Qin Song put away his ear, and carefully served a cup of tea to Qin Fengchi, not daring to look at him.As soon as Qin Fengchi pinched the rim of the cup with his fingers, he couldn't help shaking, closing his eyes, almost thinking that he would be slapped in the face by the hot tea.

However, no.

Qin Fengchi's hand was steady, and the cup didn't move at all.

"Speak less." He reminded.

Qin Song clenched his cheeks and knelt down on one knee.

"I don't dare anymore!" He lowered his head in fear, only to feel the fine cold sweat rising from his back, very annoyed.

For some reason, he couldn't help being provocative towards Chu Lou, forgetting to be cautious when performing missions and avoid causing foreign affairs.He was only glad that he was not in the courtyard at this time, otherwise the master would have ordered him to kneel in the middle of the courtyard and be whipped. The group of grandchildren in the courtyard were jealous that he called the leader master, and the whip would have killed half of his life...
