Bianshanhan [farming]

When the city gate was just opened, Li Qingwen wrote to the trustee to pick it up at the pier. Of course, the letter didn't say what was going on in the city.

At that time, Li Qingwen was still waiting for Su Shuqing's letter, but now that the dust has settled, he showed Jiang Cong the document with the big red seal from his close pocket. Take this money, and your affairs will be easy to handle, he said that we did the right thing, because..."

Li Qingwen stopped suddenly and looked around. There was no one there. He moved his leg to touch Jiang Cong, and whispered: "The newly enthroned is not a soft-hearted lord, he is very strict. In the future, our border town may More fun."

This time the struggle for power in the imperial city was extremely fierce. I heard that the new emperor killed several brothers. The winner will be the king, and the loser will be the bandit.

There may be more and more people in their border towns.

Jiang Cong read the document carefully, put it back on for Li Qingwen, and patted his head, "I never thought that things would go so smoothly, all this is thanks to Tuo Zier."

Li Qingwen was beaming with joy, but he still had to work hard not to raise the corners of his mouth too high, and said: "I'm just an errand runner, Su Shuqing is a noble person, and there is money, and money is really useful...Brother, you don't know, you get it Those are not agates, but carnelian, which are very valuable, and those pearls, just these two things, this time they were sold for several thousand taels of silver..."

Jiang Cong just smiled and didn't speak. Li Qingwen was the noble man he was destined for, but it was more than that.

Li Qingwen had already been familiar with those accounts by heart, and Li Qingwen reported them to Jiang Cong like beans, muttering that next year, he would go to the river beach to check carefully, and the money selling jade and pearls was really good.

Li Qingrui and the others loaded the luggage onto the boat one after another, shouted a few times, but Li Qingwen not only didn't move, but even asked people to come and eat together.

Bingzhou is located in the north, so there is drought and little rain. There is no river in Yangshu Village for tens of hundreds of miles. The people in the village have a natural desire for water. Water can not only feed people, but also many living creatures that have never been seen before.

They have seen the river water in the border town, and they are all in awe of the endless sea. When they heard about eating sea food, they all came here curiously.

Jiang Cong stood up and called out to Fang, "Sister-in-law."

Fang responded, looking up and down at Jiang Cong, surprised and delighted, and said, "Jiang Cong, you have really changed a lot. You used to be the most heroic of our Xijiang soldiers, but now you are even less so." People can compare."

Jiang Cong was 19 years old when he was escorted away. Three or four years later, he became a more stable adult with strong features, broad shoulders and long body.

Fang thinks, no wonder Qin Dongmeng can't forget it all the time, but his younger brother is attractive to girls.

Fang came to the capital with Ding Jie and others. She was happy to see Hongzhou's officers and soldiers at the checkpoint just now, but she finally felt at ease when she saw Jiang Cong.

Jiang Cong was assigned to the border town with his own man, and when he saw Jiang Cong, he would soon be able to see the child's father.

While talking to Mrs. Fang, Jiang Cong handed the grilled fish to the three of their mothers, "Sister-in-law, I remember you don't get seasick, eat more cooked food, and you only have dry food when you get on the boat."

Fang said "Hey" several times, and also distributed the food in the bag to Jiang Cong.

Several buckets of food were baked, some of them were eaten, and the rest were brought to the boat for Zhou Fengnian and the people from the court. Everyone talked and laughed, cleaned up, and then boarded the boat.

This year's wind has changed many days earlier than in previous years. They can go north at any time. After leaving the capital for a few days, their reluctance fades away. Now they all want to go home early.

Li Qingwen stood at the hatch of the boat, watched Jiang Cong talking to Ding Jie and the others, and continued to eat his oyster meat with a plate.

When a crew member passed by, they couldn't help but say: "If you don't get married, don't eat this stuff, don't hold back when you are young."

This thing is pretty aphrodisiac.

Li Qingwen: "..."

There were only two left on the plate, and Li Qingwen thought that he had eaten all of them, so he ate them.

After the boat started, Li Qingwen watched a group of people struggling to pull the sail, and vaguely heard a woman's laughter behind him. It was a very special kind of charming smile. He had never experienced it before, and he just felt uncomfortable.

He looked back, and saw that the cabin door next to him was ajar, with half of the veil showing through the crack of the door.

Li Qingwen was a little confused. In winter, this light gauze can neither block the wind nor keep out the cold. Isn't this a burden?

Also, why can't these people live in the spacious and airy cabin above? Could it be that there are too many people in the capital and they can't fit in?

Seeing that Jiang Cong was busy for a while, Li Qingwen went back to the cabin, and after a while Zhou Congxin came, saying that the sea fish was delicious, and he would exchange some with the people there when he arrived in Linsu, and he would not be able to taste it when he returned to the border town.

Li Qingwen asked him, "What are the women on the boat doing?"

"The Linsu officials brought it up." Zhou Congxin said, he saw it just now, and he didn't know if it was their concubine's room or something else.

Officials in the land of exile can bring their family members with them. Of course, even if they are not family members, as long as they want to, it doesn't matter how many women they bring back.

Since it was going to Linsu, it had nothing to do with them, Li Qingwen thought so.

Thinking of the many things to do after returning to the border town, Li Qingwen took out the book carefully prepared by his second brother, read it and memorized it, and did his homework in advance so that he could spare time to do other things.

As soon as he touched the book, everyone in the cabin stopped talking. Li Qingshun and the others knew that reading was not easy, so they all wanted to go out and didn't want to disturb Li Qingwen.

Li Qingwen carried it all the way until the evening, when the boat was stable and it was dark outside, he yawned and lay down on Li Qingrui's lap.

Just when Li Qingwen was about to sleep, there was a different kind of movement from the cabin next to him.

Li Qinghong and the others stayed in the capital without a family, and most of those who returned to the border towns were already married. They knew what was going on as soon as they heard it, and all the men blushed with embarrassment and had thick necks.

Li Qingwen was lying on the bulkhead, with his ears pressed against it, he could hear the woman's panting and the man's rude words better than anyone else.

He froze for a moment.

It was the first time that Li Qingwen encountered such a thing, as if something had collapsed in his heart, it was shattered, he sat up without thinking, opened the hatch and walked out.

Li Qingrui hurriedly chased him out, fearing that Li Qingwen would disturb the people nearby, after all, this was Linsu's boat, they were just borrowing it, so they should be more polite.

Although this matter sounds a little embarrassing, it is also human nature, and it is over with patience.

Li Qingrui wanted to drag his younger brother back, but found that Li Qingwen ran to the deck, he couldn't help laughing.

At his younger brother's age, he should understand some things.

Li Qingwen got on the deck recklessly, it was too dark, and he didn't see the thick rope under his feet, so he tripped over and hit the heavy deck with a bang.

When the crew members heard the movement and came over with oil lamps, Li Qingwen grinned and got up, not to mention the dull pain in his shoulders, and a stabbing pain in his ankles.

Jiang Cong didn't ask him why he ran up in a panic, helped Li Qingwen up, and said, "Where does it hurt?"

"Shoulders, arms, feet..." Li Qingwen clung to his brother's strong arm, but he couldn't tell why he would run over to find Jiang Cong.

Jiang Cong told the boss of the boat to recite Li Qingwen to go back.

"Don't, don't go back!" Li Qingwen said hastily.

"How can you look at the wound if you don't go back?"

In this cold weather, I can't take off my clothes and shoes outside, and I will be frozen in a short time. Wouldn't it be more injury than injury.

Li Qingwen rolled his eyes quickly, and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, I don't hurt anymore."

These words were really false, Jiang Cong looked helpless, and asked him, "There is an empty warehouse, can I go there to see the wound?"

Li Qingwen asked where the empty goods were, Jiang Cong knew what he wanted to avoid when he heard it, and said a farther place, Li Qingwen hesitated and agreed.

Jiang Cong carried him to find the captain. The warehouse in the front was low and uncomfortable to walk on. He seldom delivered things in it. The captain readily agreed.

The boat boss took the key and bent over to open the door. When he came out, Jiang Cong thanked him, and then led Li Qingwen into the empty warehouse.

It has not been used for a long time, and there is a little dust. The oil lamp is placed on the ground, and fine particles are flying in the dim light.

Some of them were inhaled into the nose, Li Qingwen held back from sneezing, the ashes in it started to rebel.

Li Qingwen was trying to fight against the itchiness in his nose, letting Jiang Cong unbutton his clothes and examine the wound.

There were several spots of redness on the shoulders and bare arms. It had just fallen, and nothing could be seen. Jiang Cong stretched out his hand and pressed the bones, and the pain hit. Li Qingwen's body twitched, and said, "Brother, it hurts a little."

"No bone was hurt," Jiang Cong replied.

In contrast, the sprained ankle was more severe, and when he touched Li Qingwen, he began to suck in air, crying out for pain.

Jiang Cong carefully looked at the wound on his foot, and felt that he had to rub it with medicine quickly, otherwise the swelling would be even worse tomorrow.

He got up to leave, but Li Qingwen hugged his thigh tightly, not knowing whether it was over or not, and didn't want Jiang Cong to hear the noise, so he made up an excuse and said, "I'm afraid of being alone. "

Jiang Cong had already noticed his strangeness, so he didn't leave, but said: "The sooner your injury is treated, the better, and the longer it drags on, the longer it will hurt."

Li Qingwen said: "Then wait for another quarter of an hour, and go back after two quarters of an hour."

Two quarters of an hour, they should be sleeping over there, Li Qingwen thought so.

Pushing Li Qingwen's messy hair aside, Jiang Cong said, "Then wait a while."

Said yes, Jiang Cong didn't stay idle, he lifted Li Qingwen's feet to check, touched and pressed them with his hands.

In order to divert the pain, Li Qingwen stared at Jiang Cong's big, well-articulated hands, thinking to himself, his brother's hands are quite pretty.
