Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

At the beginning of March, when the apricot tree in the yard was in bloom, Yao Silang came to Lishan on horseback.

When he came, Kaliu and the others were in the yard, someone shouted at the gate, but no one inside answered him.

After a long time, a guard came out and asked him who he was looking for.

"I'm Yao Silang, may I ask if there is a young master surnamed Qin living here." He asked the guard.

The guard took a deep look at him: "Come in with me."

Yao Silang: "Everything is settled, let's go to Lingnan."

"Fourth Master, is that uncle of yours in Lingnan?"

"Well, the letter has been sent,

"Okay, when are we leaving?"

"Just a few days."

At night, Shanhailou held a banquet as a practice banquet for Yao Silang and the others to practice.

From then on, they will go their separate ways.

The sound of Yao Zhi's piano sounded in Shanhai Tower, and Qin Juan suddenly felt open-minded instead of sad.

I have experienced too many partings, from being ignorant when I was a child, to now the pain has faded and I am much more open-minded.

"Remember to write a letter." Qin Juan said to Yao Silang after a long time.

Yao Silang smiled: "Definitely. If your lord settles down, please tell me the address, and I will bring my brothers to visit in the future."

"it is good."

After toasting and drinking, Yao Silang and his party left in the dark

The two brothers Kaliu and Nu'an waved to them on horseback and sang songs when they left.

"There is no feast that never ends, let's go, go back." Gu Yue patted Qin Juan on the shoulder.

Gu Yue was a little unaccustomed to the absence of Kaliu's laughter in the courtyard.

At this time, Gu Yue suddenly realized that his state of mind had undergone a great change...

In the past, it was very difficult for him to feel good, and even the excitement felt that it was someone else's excitement.

Now, he began to immerse himself in his heart and feel life...

Just like what Qin Juan said that day, remember your kindness.

Because maybe, looking back, these people are never seen again.

The apricot blossoms in the corner of the courtyard were in full bloom, and when the wind blew, the petals scattered all over the ground.

Qin Juan walked in from the door.

Seeing him coming, Gu Yue asked, "Why didn't you go riding?"

The implication is that you don’t go out to ride horses when the weather is good, but you go out every day when the weather is bad

Qin Juan sat beside him, Gu Yue saw that his complexion was not very good, and frowned: "Isn't it because you are not feeling well?"

Qin Juan shook his head, and Yao Zhi gave him a letter, and it was inevitable that he would be affected after reading it.

Lu Yuzhang stayed in Hejian Mansion and was in charge of sending a letter to Zhao Huaizhi.

Yueyue was looking for him, even though Wanxi had told King Dayong that he had been transferred away, but Yueyue was still looking for him.

The situation of Yueyue is very bad, he wants to find him every day, he must want him to help him.

It is undeniable that he is worried every day.

"In fact, King Dayong came to you just to solve Luo Bu's plight. Since you have asked Lao Zheng to leave money for him, you don't have to worry about it anymore. You can help him for a while, but you won't be able to help him forever. I advise you to stop thinking about it, what's wrong with being in my current state?" Gu Yue took a sip of tea after speaking.

Qin Juan let out a "hmm" and didn't speak.As he said, he will no longer meddle in political affairs...

All he worries about is friends and brothers.

He is no longer a general and will no longer lead troops.

Maybe he hoped to go to Chushan with Zhao Huaizhi one day earlier.

He has been wandering for too long, longing for stability and peace too much.

It's just that he's used to the excitement, no matter how hard he is to be alone.

One day at the end of March, at midnight, Qin Juan also went to bed early.

That beautiful person, carrying a lamp, came from outside the courtyard, with flying petals on his hair.

Until he appeared in front of the door, he also woke up the people on the bed in the house.

Life during this period of time was too comfortable, Qin Juan suddenly felt that his reaction had degraded a little, when his eyes gradually became clear.

He looked towards the door and shouted, "Zhao Huaizhi."

The people outside pushed the door open, and when Qin Juan saw his face, it was exhausted.

"Zhao Huaizhi." He got off the bed, walked towards him, and took the lantern from his hand.

"What's wrong with you? You look very tired." He closed the door as he said, and helped him to sit down again.

Zhao Huaizhi looked at him and smiled, and said after a long time: "I have an uncle who is capricious, and so are his brothers. They also want to make great achievements when they have ambitions, but they listen to what the minister says. I don’t even have the patience for a quarter of an hour, they can excitedly let me analyze the world and draw maps, they can let me write down my thoughts, but put them on the shelf.”

"Just today, I'm really tired..."

After listening to Zhao Huaizhi's words, Qin Juan hugged him suddenly and walked to the bed: "You need to rest."

Zhao Huaizhi was lying on the bed, looking at the wooden boards above his head, on which were painted landscapes. He liked landscape paintings when he was young, so landscape paintings can be seen everywhere in courtyards, walls, and houses.

The world that once had a heart in mind has now ended in bleakness.

The chess game between him and Wanxi may have the answer.

"Qin Juan, will you follow me to fief the land?" he asked suddenly.

Qin Juan was shocked. In fact, he had already answered Zhao Huaizhi's question. When Zhao Huaizhi asked whether he would like to go to Mount Chu, he had already said it.

It's just that when Zhao Huaizhi asked him again at this time, he must want to get an affirmative answer from him. What he needed was unshakable trust.

Qin Juan held Zhao Huaizhi's hand: "Let's go to Jingbei."

He can go to Jingbei, and after he goes to Jingbei, he will continue to look for his sister after he settles down.

Zhao Huaizhi held Qin Juan's hand instead: "Okay."

He had never been afraid of anything in his life, but for a moment he was afraid of being alone.

He lost his father when he was ignorant, and lost his father when he became famous. He admitted that he was afraid of loneliness for a moment on the road of seeking.

In other words, he is not afraid of losing anything, but he cannot let go of Qin Juan.

Zhao Huaizhi slightly curled his lips into a smile, and slowly closed his eyes. The fatigue of the past few days also dissipated in an instant.

"Go to sleep, I'll watch over you." Qin Juan said, covering him with the quilt beside him.

Zhao Huaizhi's shallow breathing sounded like a gossamer.

He slept day and night.

Qin Juan felt Zhao Huaizhi's exhaustion thoroughly, even Zhao Huaizhi didn't sleep for so long when he was on the march.

When Zhao Huaizhi woke up, he lay there with his eyes open for a long time...

Qin Juan wiped his body and asked him what he wanted to eat, but he just shook his head.

It's just that those beautiful eyes seem to be shining with stars, dazzling and shocking.

The fog in his heart dissipated.

"If there is such a day, I will meet my senior brother on the battlefield as a prince, and I will do my best. However, I am tired now, so let me live my Zhao Huaizhi life well." He said so.

Qin Juan didn't dare to interrupt him, but could only watch him nod firmly.

They all know this day will come, maybe ten years, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years... Maybe it's tomorrow.

Because of their blood, and because their home is here, they must protect their brothers, friends, relatives, and common people.

"Zhao Huaizhi, do you know what I saw outside the bay? I saw a lot of big ships, shocking fleets, more shocking scenes than caravans in the desert... I was thinking at that time, What kind of wisdom and courage is this to achieve such a chapter at sea, like an eternity that spans time and space."

It can be on land or at sea.

Zhao Huaizhi's desire to return to seclusion is different from Qin Juan's.

Qin Juan also understands this point, he knows that if he no longer cares about the war, he will completely put aside these things, he is just an ordinary person, a very ordinary person.

Zhao Huaizhi was different, he knew from the first day he knew Zhao Huaizhi... Zhao Huaizhi's reclusion was a half-retirement, and there were many people like Wang Kai under his command, and Wang Kai was still building big ships.

Zhao Huaizhi still has the army left by his father, and he is still cultivating a new army.

Just let Zhao Huaizhi do what Qin Juan had always wanted to do in the past and imagined doing it in the dark.

They set off for Jingbei at the beginning of April of this year.

Only him, Zhao Huaizhi and Gu Yue.

After leaving Lin'an, Gu Yue asked Qin Juan: "I've always wanted to ask, what did you send Zheng Shengbai to do?"

Qin Juan: "I didn't send it. He left by himself. He said he would help me settle property in some places."

"I see, that's not bad." Gu Yue said, "Aren't you afraid that he will run away?"

In late spring in Jingbei, the mountains and rivers are green and full of fireworks.

At night, the river is filled with the radiance of stars.

This kind of beauty is different from deserts and grasslands.

It is the dusk that is heavy and the sky is wide, the waves soak in the setting sun, and melt thousands of miles away.

Gu Yue sighed: "Even I, who doesn't like to marvel at the scenery, want to write poems. It's no wonder that people in Song Dynasty can compose lyrics and poems even if they have a bit of knowledge. It turns out that it is because of the environment."

"..." Qin Juan was speechless, but felt that what he said was not unreasonable.

"Go to Mount Chu in two days, you can live in the Taoist temple or in my palace, you can do whatever you want." Zhao Huaizhi said.

Gu Yue looked at him: "So, are you staying in a hotel tonight?"

Qin Juan: "Otherwise?"

Gu Yue was overjoyed: "Well, there is a boat ahead, let's go to the front and take the boat after we find the inn."

Qin Juan: "I see that there are many people there, and the boat is just a pleasure boat. It's not safe. We'd better rest early and have to hurry tomorrow."

"..." Zhao Huaizhi saw that these two people didn't seem to be pretending, but he really didn't understand what kind of ship it was?

On the banks of the river, lanterns are lit at night, and there is a boat with the voice of a singing girl. Naturally, there are many people. It is a red boat, also known as a flower boat. It is the same as the Louzi, a place of sensuality.

They rode past the Red Ship on their way to the inn.

Gu Yue took a closer look out of curiosity, and when she understood, embarrassment was written all over her face.

Unlike Qin Juan, he also went to Louzi for investigation when he was in Yinshan.
