The little monk who crossed the Red Mansion

However, although the boat trip is enjoyable, when you are tired of seeing the scenery on both sides of the strait, you can only be trapped between the small deck cabins, which is really boring.

It's okay when there's nothing to do, many brothers talk and laugh together, or go to Kangxi's place or the queen mother's place to have fun together, it's not too boring.

However, most of the time, the elder brothers are busy people, and Kangxi is even more busy among busy people.

On this day, the older elder brothers were called to the Dragon Boat to discuss matters, and the queen mother squeezed a few empresses to chat and laugh.

Only Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Ah Zhe were left. There was really nothing to do, and the three of them were not good at poetry, so they couldn't pretend to be sour.

We could only move the deck chairs and collectively fall on the deck and sigh there.

What a boring day~~~

Ah Zhe was so bored that he was about to fall asleep, but Fourteen suddenly complained to him: "I said, Ah Zhe, why didn't you bring Baifu here? If Baifu came, it would definitely not be so boring. "

It's okay not to talk about it, but as soon as it was mentioned, the anger in Ah Zhe's heart burst out.

"Hmph, what bad idea are you trying to come up with? Let me tell you, don't ever want to enslave my Baifu again. Last time, I was accidentally carried away by you. When I find it and bring it back, I have only half breath left, and I can’t eat for several days, and the color of the coat is not shiny at all, and I have been raising it for a long time.” A Zhe stared at the two people while talking, although there is no evidence, But they must have been involved in that.

Thirteenth elder brother was already having fun with his face covered in his sleeves when he mentioned Baifu on Fourteenth.

At this time, I laughed so hard that I wanted to roll on the ground.

On the other hand, Fourteen's face was a little embarrassing, and he quickly changed the subject: "Well, don't mention this, don't mention this..."

He can say that because he thinks Baifu is very smart, he wants Baifu to give birth to a few more for breeding.

Then, who knew that Baifu would not cooperate no matter what, so he thought of a way and gave him some medicine!

He really didn't think much about it at the time, and he didn't know that the medicine was so powerful, but he couldn't blame him. Although he fed the medicine, it was given by Brother Jiu. For this reason, he also promised Brother Jiu that if life He will definitely give him two puppies.

But can he tell Ah Zhe this?

He was afraid that Ah Zhe would fight for him, and the fourth brother, if the fourth brother found out, he could only ask Han Ama for help, but by then, he would probably lose all his face.

Although Shisan couldn't help laughing when he thought of that, he couldn't say it now. Now that he said it, he would definitely not be able to get away with the crime of not reporting what he knew.

Seeing Shisi there, he rolled his eyes guiltily for a long time, but he didn't expect anything to come out.

I could only hold back a smile and help him smooth things over: "I haven't seen Ah Zhe's paintings for a long time, why don't Ah Zhe come and paint a few?"

When the fourteenth elder brother heard this, he immediately became interested, and immediately received: "The water brush painting made with Ah Zhe is good, and the one with a brush is already tired." Looking at Ah Zhe with sparkling eyes, he I once saw the comic strips of the Three Character Classic that Ah Zhe drew for them at Honghui Hongyi, and I loved them very much.

If it wasn't for the things of the two little nephews, he would have wanted to grab them.

Ah Zhe glared at him, tossing his Baifu half his life, and wanted him to draw comic strips, dreaming!

He was ruthless in his heart, one day he must draw a few comics, and then put them in Honghui Honglin's place, so that Shisi could read them, but even if he couldn't get them, he would be greedy to death.

The more Ah Zhe thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but he couldn't let him go now, and of course there was Thirteenth Brother, who knew at a glance that he was also involved in Baifu's affairs.

He looked up and looked around, and said to them: "Brother Thirteen and Brother Fourteen, is there a big town over there?"

The place Ah Zhe was pointing to was the direction they came from, and it was vaguely supposed to be a relatively large town.

"It should be, Ah Zhe wants to see clearly, why don't you take out that thing called a telescope you made?" Thirteen said.

"Yes, yes!" Speaking of this, Shisi felt a pity that the telescope was swallowed up by Brother Nine, and Ah Zhe didn't take it out again until he got on the boat. At the queen mother's place, there is only one on each boat.

Tired of watching, okay~~

Ah Zhe pointed there and continued: "What's the point of just watching here? I'm tired of watching it these days. I thought that if I could go ashore, I would go and see for myself."

"Khan Ama didn't order the ship to stop for supplies. It's okay to send a servant to buy some things in a small boat, but what if we go down in person?" Shisan was actually very moved, but he was the leader of the three. It's okay to go out without accidents, but if something happens, his responsibility will be great.

"Why not? We can also take a small boat to the shore!" Ah Zhe retorted.

He looked at Fourteen with his eyes, and Fourteen was also sitting there rolling his eyes wildly, so it was obvious that he really wanted to go ashore.

"The small boat can't carry too many people. There are only three of us, and there are at most two or three guards. How could Khan Ama allow us to go out?"

"The reason why so many guards are needed is mainly because they are afraid of assassination by those rebels, but in the place where the imperial driver passed by, within a radius of a hundred miles, even a fly can tell the male and female from a long time ago, so what else can be left behind?" Rebellious party, those officials really don't want their heads." Ah Zhe didn't expect Thirteenth Brother to be so opposed, and he usually looks like a playful person, so he continued: "We just go ashore to have a look, and we want so much What's the point of guards? Besides, if you want to bring more people, you can choose from the guards on the shore, or let the boat run a few more times!"

Ah Zhe squinted at Brother Thirteen, Brother Thirteen, you are so stupid!

The victim Thirteen coughed several times in embarrassment. Can he say that he just doesn't want to take the two of them out alone?

The younger brother is too noisy, the responsibility is too great, I really miss the fourth brother, what should I do~~

"There is some truth in Ah Zhe's words." Fourteen couldn't bear the longing in his heart, and agreed.

"But will Khan Ama agree?"

"Arma Khan is discussing matters. It's just a trivial matter for us, so we don't have the nerve to bother him." He said, took out the pen and paper that he carried with him, and started to write.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother came over curiously, but after seeing the content clearly, they were all embarrassed. There were only a few large characters on a piece of white paper: "Khan Ama, ten and I The third brother and the fourteenth brother are going for a walk on the shore. I hereby report to you!" The inscription is "A Zhe".

"Is this okay?" The two elder brothers were seriously suspicious.

"Why not, aren't we asking Han Ama for instructions?" Ah Zhe was a little proud.

While talking, he folded the white paper into a beautiful paper crane, handed him to Xi'an not far away, and asked him to take a boat to the dragon boat and hand it to Li Dequan or Wei Zhu. They will pass it on when Ama Khan is free, and we don’t have anything important here, so we don’t want to bother him too much.”

Xi'an wants to cry now, and really wants to kneel down and say: "Master, you don't have important matters, but the slave does! The slave is going to lose the master!"

However, this sentence can be tolerated, he has more important things now~~~

Holding the paper crane in his hand, he plopped at Ah Zhe and knelt down: "Master, let other people deliver the letter, can you let the slaves go with you?"

Ah Zhe also felt worried seeing him like this, Xi'an is usually very loyal and obedient, but this time he might be really scared, so he could only comfort him and said, "Don't worry, not only will you not be taken, but Song Wei and Sun You can't bring Qing either."

Not only did Xi'an not become obedient, "Plop~plop~" was another kneeling sound.

Ah Zhe has nothing to do with the self-proclaimed "slave" creatures like the Qing Dynasty who kneel at every turn. In the past, this situation was handled by the fourth elder brother. Now the fourth elder brother is not around, so he can only look at the two beside him.

Thirteen was already hesitating, and asking these servants to stop him made him agree.

Fourteen was addicted, and the boat was too boring. He was tired of fishing, but he didn't know why he didn't bring these servants with him. You know, these three people have been trained Trained, their own martial arts are good.

He looked up at Ah Zhe and asked him to explain the reason.

Ah Zhe said helplessly: "The three of them look like eunuchs from the palace, they are different from ordinary people, wouldn't it be easy to recognize them with them?"

Hearing this, Shisi laughed, and said to Ah Zhe, "Ah Zhe is too filtered. You only know that they are a little different from ordinary people when you see them often. How many people in this small remote place can Have you seen the eunuch?"

Ah Zhe thought about it, and felt that it was really like what the fourteenth brother said, and the fourth brother seemed to take Su Peisheng out often.

So if you want to bring three people together, you have to find someone to deliver the letter to Khan Ama.

This person can neither betray them, but also guarantees that the letter will be delivered.

When the few people were at a loss, they saw Eunuch Liu from the Queen Mother's place making a boat and coming over.

After asking, I found out that it was the queen mother who was a little worried when she heard that only the three of them were here, so she sent him to have a look.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Eunuch Liu was about to go back in a small boat.

At this time, Ah Zhe couldn't help but his eyes lit up, what a good candidate to deliver the letter~~~

Quickly called Eunuch Liu back, and handed the paper crane to him: "Eunuch, this is the letterhead from us to Ama Khan, and we wanted the people below to send it to Li Mingda or Eunuch Wei. , now that Eunuch Liu is going back, the Empress Dowager’s side is closer to Khan Ama, so please take it with you.”

Seeing that it wasn't a big deal, Eunuch Liu reached out to take it, and asked if he had anything else to say.

Ah Zhe quickly replied: "No words, but there is nothing important on this letter paper, just pass it to Li Aida or Eunuch Wei, and let them hand it over when Ama Khan is free. When I am busy, I dare not disturb Khan Ama with this thing."

"The fifteenth elder brother said, the old servant has memorized everything, and I will definitely bring you all the words, please do it!"

The three of them thanked Eunuch Liu together.

Fourteen suddenly remembered: "What if Khan Ama has time now?"

Ah Zhe looked at him with a smile: "What can we do? Either agree or reject."

Then he looked at Shisan and said, "Brother Shisan, I know you want to go too, so you don't have to pretend, aren't you afraid that the two of us will make trouble and you won't be able to handle it? Just go ashore for a stroll, what can happen? ah?"

"That's right, when did old Thirteen get so timid!" Fourteen also provoked him.

Thirteen's old face, who had been squeezed by them, turned a little red, coughed twice, and then put on a show: "I can't say it to you two, but if something happens, you must remember to listen to me."

The two of them nodded their heads, but they were both thinking in their hearts, it's better to trick Shisan out first, and as for what happened, the two of them really didn't take it seriously.

However, there are guards all around and eyes everywhere, so it's really hard to go out so blatantly.

There was no way, the three of them could only find a few ordinary clothes, and under the cover of the three of Xi'an, the six of them pretended to be little eunuchs going out to buy, and just walked out.

Happily, after they landed, they discovered that the guards on the shore had prepared carriages and horses for them to go out and buy.

It was also at this time that the three of them knew that after finally getting off the boat, they were shaking while walking on the road.

It turned out that they were swaying like they were drunk, which made the three young masters who didn't get seasick all the more novelty.

While dangling there like a duck walking, he laughed at each other.

After getting used to it for a while, they finally chose to ride horses. It was really enough to stay in a small space, and they would rather endure the discomfort and let the horses go for a good run.

Several people rejected the kindness of the shore guards to send someone to protect them, and rode their horses and galloped in the direction of the town they saw.

Fortunately, it used to be either a grassland or a mountain path, otherwise it would be easy to hit people at this speed.

Soon after arriving at the place, a group of six masters and servants knew that this was not a small village, but a county town, and the city wall was so magnificent that it looked brand new.

The excitement of Ah Zhe and the three finally got down to earth, after a while of running wildly, they have calmed down a bit at this time.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they got off their horses honestly, and when they lined up to enter the city, they encountered trouble: they had no way to guide them!

Not far from here, a few people without a guide suddenly appeared, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

Almost immediately, a few people were surrounded by a dozen soldiers guarding the gate.

A dozen long guns were pointed at the vital points of several people at that time.

The three of Xi'an were so scared that they immediately formed a small circle to protect the three brothers in the circle.

And Xi'an took out a token, which can prove that the few of them came down from the official ship to purchase items.

But the subconscious actions of the three of Xi'an still made the leading city gate general doubtful.

You must know that the attitude of the three of Azhe and Xi'an is different from that of Xi'an and the others. It's not at 01:30, plus they were protected as soon as the incident happened just now.

It was inevitable that people would be suspicious, but the city gatekeeper looked at the sign over and over for a long time and found nothing suspicious. He also invited an expert in this field, and found nothing wrong.

Although it took a lot of time, he was finally released.

Although Ah Zhe, Thirteenth and Fourteenth felt that it was unlucky to encounter such a thing when they went out, they also highly appreciated the seriousness of the city goalkeeper.

Several people finally entered the city smoothly.

It's afternoon now. Although the streets in the city are not as lively as Beijing Tianqiao, they are still somewhat popular.

Small merchants and hawkers were selling along the street, and a few people looked around casually, and saw that they were all needles and brains, or some local ingredients, grains, or game from the mountains.

Occasionally some strange things are just some handmade products, but Ah Zhe has stayed here long enough, and he is no longer as full of novel yearning for these folk handicrafts as he was when he first came here. He always collects some when he sees them I was willing to give up.

Now when he looks at these things, it may be the same as people who go shopping in small jewelry stores hundreds of years later. It should be meaningless except that they are cheap. There are too many handmade things these days.

As long as there is too much of anything, it will be worthless.

After strolling around, the three of them reached a consensus that it would be more fun to race horses outside the city, since the streets of such a small county town are really nothing to visit.

But I didn't want to just go back, so I asked all the way, and came to a restaurant that was said to be the best restaurant in the county.

This is not only good decoration, it is said that the taste and price are second to none here.

Although the three of them didn't have too much expectation, they still walked in.

I randomly ordered a few signature dishes, tasted each of them, and couldn't help nodding. It seems that I have some skills to be the head of a county.

Although it can't keep up with the first and second-class restaurants in the capital, the third-class restaurants are still acceptable.

This kind of thinking was completely broken when the waiter came over with a plate of sour bamboo shoots from the shop for free.

The three of them almost got into a fight over grabbing an extra chopstick sour bamboo shoots!

The behavior of the few people who had never eaten good food in their lifetime made Xi'an and the waiters blushed, lowered their heads, and looked ashamed to see others.

The waiter who came to serve the food was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he couldn't figure it out. Looking at the clothes of these people, the dishes they ordered, and the cautious attitude of the waiters below, how could they be so serious? The appearance of a starving ghost reincarnated is really no different from those bumpkins!

However, he was honest, these people ordered a lot of dishes, and seeing that they only grabbed the plate of sour bamboo shoots, he simply served a large plate.

The big deal is to collect the money when you leave, anyway, those few people don't seem to be the ones who can't afford the money.

The three people in the private room ate all the sour bamboo shoots unceremoniously. Taking advantage of this appetizing energy, they ate some more vegetables and rice before finishing.

In fact, we can’t blame them for their ugly appearance. It’s really that the sour bamboo shoots are a local specialty. When soaked, a kind of wild grass from the local mountains is added, so it tastes not only sour and refreshing, but also slightly sweet and slightly spicy. There are also some special flavors in it.

The locals are used to eating it and don't think it's good.

Occasionally, a passerby tasted it, and they must buy a few jars to eat enough.

It's just that those traveling businessmen usually choose those relatively cheap restaurants and inns. They are basically local rich and noble families, and even big merchants from other places are mostly accompanied by local people. , naturally it is rare to see Ah Zhe and the others like this.

A few people really didn't enjoy eating to their heart's content, and when they went out, they always pressed to bring something back for the family members.

So the sour bamboo shoots in this store were almost rounded up, because they didn't bring a carriage, so they gave the store money and bought a car from them.

A few people went out and looked at the sky, because they ran out secretly, but they didn't dare to go back too late, and now there was another carload of pots and pans, and they couldn't run as fast as when they came, so they unanimously decided go back now.

Brother Thirteen finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he ran out and took him as the leader. Even if nothing happened, he would be punished. If something happened, he would be really scared. Go back After that, he might have to copy books for a year, and that was when Han Ama and the fourth brother were in a good mood.

If he is in a bad mood, he doesn't even know what will happen to him!

This is all right, finally going back.

However, Elder Brother Thirteen will soon know that it is too early for him to be relieved, and he has fully remembered that the more he is about to succeed, the more he must have a higher level of consciousness.

Horse racing is not allowed in the county town unless there are special circumstances, and a few people have no intention of attracting attention, although their clothes are actually enough to attract attention in this relatively closed small county town!

However, the few people who were not conscious still held the horse in their hands in a low-key manner, and walked freely on the streets out of the city as if they were visiting their own back garden.

After another turn, a loud noise was suddenly heard.

What came with the wind was an ugly voice like a big male duck, yelling loudly: "Fight, hit, beat me to death! Dare to tell grandpa the king's law, grandpa will let you see here today, What exactly is Wang Fa!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a group of arrogant yelling and laughter, as well as the faint crying of men, women and children, begging for mercy and yelling.

Although the few people are not the kind of good people who want to take care of everything, they are usually taught by Kangxi. Since they encountered this kind of street fight, and it was probably a bully bullying good things, no matter whether they want to take care of it or not , it is always better to figure things out first.

At that moment, Thirteen gave Song Wei a wink, and Song Wei nodded slightly, then sneaked into the crowd of onlookers not far away, and chatted with a person who seemed to be a bit open-mouthed beside him.

The two chatted for a few words, but they didn't know what they said, but the man carefully looked around, closed his mouth tightly and refused to say anything.

Seeing this, Song Wei didn't force him, but a large ingot of silver leaked out from his cuff, which was worth five taels, and it dangled in front of the man's eyes.

Without saying anything, he turned around and left. The man Fangfo still hesitated for a moment, but people died for money, and birds died for food. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of money. He looked around and saw that everyone's attention was on the front, as if No one noticed him, so he looked guilty and scared, but he followed Song Wei after all.
