At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

"But I haven't expressed my feelings to her yet, and I don't know if your heart is like mine..."

The matter of getting married is far away.

Xu Lu lowered his eyes, and the bright sunlight penetrated the transparent tiles and spread in front of his eyes. For him who fell into the darkness, it was really tempting.

The young man stretched out his hand and gently touched the bright spot. The light spread on his slender fingers, and the warmth was intoxicating.

After a moment, he took back his hand and propped up half of his body, raised his head and looked at the head of the Xu family, trying to see if there was any falsehood in his father's eyes.

After a long while, he said seriously: "When will the ancestral hall meeting be held tomorrow?"

"Tatsuki!"

The head of the Xu family kicked Xu Lu and said angrily: "Go away, you look at me and I'm upset."

The two brothers and sisters started to form a turtle sect without either of them expressing their feelings.

An unmarried couple, accompanied by two handsome escorts, and their children are indeed debt collectors...

The study became silent again. The young man in white shirt with long hair was lying flat on the blue carved floor tiles, his whole body bathed in golden light.

The chirping of birds outside the house was melodious and melodious. It was completely different from the noisy and headache-inducing noise an hour ago.

Xu Lu looked at the purse in his hand and murmured, "That's great."

It's great that he can have a chance to express his feelings.

What was in the purse was the diarrhea pills given by Xie Zhiyi in spring.

Each one is small and exquisite, and covered with a layer of white frosting. They are really cute.

Xu Lu held her purse against her chest, closed her eyes and felt the acceleration of her heartbeat. The corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, and then rose again.

Suddenly, he stood up and sat back in front of the desk, regardless of whether his father meant it or not.

For the sake of his mother, sister, and Qing, he needs to work harder, be vigilant, and never waste his efforts.

On May 23rd, at the Xu family ancestral hall meeting, the head of the Xu family announced that the next head of the family would be Xu Yinqiu, the legitimate daughter.

Like a stone falling into a quiet lake, it stirs up a thousand waves and a building as high as ten thousand feet.

No matter how high the wind and waves get, Xu Lu will rush towards the port south of Jiangling with one man and one horse.

The carriage that had been following him silently stopped at the south city gate and watched the young man go away.

The corners of Xu Yinqiu's lips curled up, and he said in shock: "Dad, look at how worthless my brother is."

The head of the Xu family covered his face with his hands. He had no eyes to see what he was looking at!

"What if the girl doesn't like Lu'er?" Mrs. Xu glared at the Xu family head with a hint of resentment.

"He can't even take down a girl. Do you expect him to come back and take over the Xu family without taking him to the ditch?"

"Besides, if you are a scholar, peasant, industrialist or merchant, if you don't take a good official career and come back to work as a rich businessman, your house may be ransacked that day and you will use it to make wedding clothes for others!"

Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel again, Xu Yinqiu sneaked out of the carriage.

The head of the Xu family raised his eyes and said sternly: "What are you going to do? If you don't go to patrol the shop, are you looking for your guards again?"

Xu Yinqiu argued: "Oh, this is a huge injustice. I went to find the timber merchant, and you also saw the steam locomotive."

"I estimate that in the future, wooden rails will be laid in all states in Daliang. Anyway, if the hemlock trees are well preserved, they will last for many years."

"Why not buy some for later before the price rises? It will be great to use at home or resell."

The head of the Xu family cleared his throat awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead. If you don't have enough money, just pay it from the account."

......

The Han River flows from west to east, and Xie Yuheng and others sailed into Fuchun in the early morning after sailing for a day and night.

It was only when we entered the border of Yangzhou at night that we learned that Qiantang County had closed the city a few days ago.

Each city gate is heavily guarded and no one is allowed in or out. And even the ferry, only ships with traffic orders are allowed to enter.

Fortunately, Fuchun is not very far from Qiantang County. You can transfer to a carriage when you arrive at the port.

Xie Yuheng stood on the deck and looked at both sides of the bank.

The mountains are rolling and rolling, with numerous peaks and peaks. They are faintly visible in the morning mist, appearing and disappearing, creating a scene of floating warm green and misty clouds.

The vast river is of the same color, with dense grass and forests on its shores, and sometimes there are cottages and thatched pavilions dotted among them.

Occasionally, I met an old man in his 60s on the river bank, fishing in a bamboo boat, and a few wild swans and ducks were playing nearby.

“If I hadn’t been rushing to Qiantang for lack of time, I would have really wanted to paint this scene.”

Xie Yunhua put his hands on the guardrail, his hair fluttering in the wind, and his clothes flying.

Xie Yuheng saw the mixed expressions of sadness and joy on her brows, and comforted her: "Sail against the current when we return."

"There is a lot of free time for Sister Yunhua to paint pictures. Sister should not be bored by then."

"The head of the family always makes me happy."

Xie Yunhua smiled sweetly, and the brilliance in his wind-facing eyes flowed like bright pearls.

But that wasn't what she meant. She raised her head and opened her eyes wide, as if she wanted to take the scene of Fuchun River deep into her mind.

When she was young, her father took her and Zhu Shu on a trip to Yangzhou when they were still working as watermen. They boarded the same cargo ship in Jiangling...

But when the boat was halfway through, those people said that it would be difficult to sail with a woman on board. '

It is said that women are yin and men are yang.

The place where the boat and the water meet is a very yin place, which needs to be tempered by the man's yang. Never allow women to get on the boat, otherwise the yin and yang will be out of balance, which will be detrimental to your conduct.

Even though she was under the age of 16 at that time, according to them, she was still Yin.

In the end, her father gave the steward a lot of money, so she was not thrown off the ship halfway, but she could only huddle in the dark bottom cabin.

No wonder her mother coaxed her into saying that there was something going on at home, so she stopped going together.

Passenger ships also accept female passengers, but ordinary people are not willing to spend that money just for a trip to Yangzhou.

"Master, have you ever heard that a cargo ship has trouble sailing if there is a woman on board?" Xie Yunhua tilted his head and asked.

Xie Yuheng walked up to Rong Shi and others, reached out and turned the grilled fish over, and said, "I've only heard of grilling fish, and it will be very fishy without ginger."

Mei Xingyun chuckled and almost added his exclusive saliva to the grilled fish. Fortunately, Xie Zhuqing took action in time and turned his head to the side.

Xie Zhuqing handed his sister a bunch of saury and said warmly: "This is done, you can eat it first. Be careful not to get stuck on the fish bones."

Xie Yuheng took the grilled fish and lifted it to the wind, using the river breeze to cool down.

She looked at Xie Yunhua and analyzed: "It is said that having women traveling together is not good for navigation."

"In the final analysis, it is just a fabrication made out of thin air to prevent men and women from being in the same boat and add some romantic words."

Seeing that Xie Yunhua still had some confusion on her face, Xie Yuheng rubbed the tip of her nose. It was hard for her to be too straightforward...

After thinking for a moment, she said: "The roosters will fight for the hens, and even get bloody heads."

"The rooster wants to protect his reputation and the safety of his territory, so he fabricates rumors that the hen is bad."

"That's pretty much it."

Xie Yuheng nodded with satisfaction. She is really a little expert at making metaphors.
