whale wave

The mist filled the air, covering Zhao Yousheng's naked body. He slowly got up from the water, and his figure looked very tall.His body no longer shows the youthfulness of a teenager. He has broad shoulders, powerful arms, a tight waist without fat, and straight and slender feet.

Ah Jin entered the bathroom in the mist, she lowered her head, not daring to look at him, she put the long towel for wiping and the clothes to be changed on the hanger, right beside him, she quietly backed out .

She was supposed to be Zhao Yousheng's personal maid, that's why Mother Zhao bought her to be her adoptive mother, but it's strange, she is careful and skillful, and feels that she has never made any mistakes, but Mr. , He has to take a bath by himself.

Zhao's mother saw Ah Jin exiting the bathroom quietly, she shook her head, she didn't know what her son was thinking, Ah Jin was obviously good in everything and beautiful, but he didn't like him.

Zhao's mother thought of finding another personal maid for her son. After all, he will be married next year. Instead of letting him be seduced by the woman from Washe Goulan outside, it is better to keep him at home.Zhao's mother was very thoughtful for this son, although she really thought too much.

Zhao Youcheng wiped his body and put on the clothes one by one. He has one arm that can be used flexibly, and the other arm has a little difficulty holding things, so he can make do with it.It will take some time for the injured arm to recover.

After tidying up his clothes, Zhao Yousheng stepped out of the bathroom and walked to his room, and Ah Jin entered the bathroom to tidy up and was busy in it.

Zhao Yousheng met Zhao's mother at the door of the room, Zhao's mother asked Axiang to bring a dry towel, Zhao's mother watched Axiang help her son wipe his head, and said to him: "What's wrong with Ajin, you are really picky " Zhao Yousheng let her talk without saying a word, Zhao's mother annoyed him, saying that next time he would let him choose by himself, and she would not care.

"According to the slave family, if you follow the temperament of the young gentleman of the Chen family, you will always be able to meet your wishes."

Ah Xiang was obviously joking, but what she said caught Zhao's mother's attention, she thought it made sense, her son and Xiao Yu were very close, and they had similar tastes.

Zhao Yousheng felt that it was not appropriate to let Ah Xiang go on like this, he said: "Mother is just looking for another adoptive mother, Ah Jin is respectful and reticent, it is better to keep her by her mother's side."

Zhao's mother said, "That's what I mean."

Zhao's mother thought that next time she would just find someone who was not taciturn and disrespectful, but she thought it was wrong, she still needed such a maid to feel at ease.

Ah Xiang helped Zhao Yousheng comb his hair, tied it in a bun, found a new scarf and crown, put on new clothes, and decorated it. Don't take away the demeanor of the groom.

Today, there is a family in Muzong's courtyard who is having a wedding. As the same clan, Zhao Yousheng is naturally going to present congratulatory gifts and attend the wedding banquet.

Zhao Youcheng adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, and heard his younger brother urging him outside, he was unmoved, straightened his sleeves, straightened his collar, and Ah Xiang tied Gongxiang and a crystal pendant on his waist.

After the preparations were made, the father and son went to Muzongyuan together, attracting attention all the way, not to mention Zhao's father, who was seven feet tall and mighty, even his eldest son and second son were also outstanding talents.

Father Zhao brought his two sons to the family where the wedding was held. Among the invited guests, he saw the Zhao Yichun and Zhao Rutai families.

The family who hosted the wedding, the groom was an old leftover man, and with the help of Zong Zheng, the marriage was done. Everyone was happy for him, and the guests all praised Zongzheng Zhao Yunzhen for being a real person at the banquet. A lot of attention, it is a good Zongzheng.

After the banquet, the drunk Zhao Yichun was escorted home by his youngest son Zhuang Die. Zhao Rutai was so drunk that he couldn't drink enough, so he went home to sleep. Zhao's father was like a hero in the country of wine. He drank no less than them, but he was still clear-headed. Chatting with Zhao Shilang next to him.

Except for those who left, the rest of the people were still interested. Seeing that it was still early, let's go to Zhao Shilang's house for tea together.At that time, Zhao Shilang's house was full of people, and people chatted in the hall and courtyard, talking about Zhao Bumin's downfall, the retreat of King Xi's Fang faction, the sailing of official ships, the affairs of the court, and the war in the north for many years.

Zhao Youqian was young, drank some fruit wine at the banquet, and fell asleep on the soft couch. Beside him, his father was discussing the war in the north with his friends.The two countries have confronted each other for decades, and the North Kingdom is strong and prosperous. It has always intended to annex it and attack it every year.Everyone is used to the flames of war in the frontier fortress, and it will be a new thing if the flags die down one day.

The old people are all concerned about the war, while the young people like to discuss political affairs, like the imperial court is controlled by the traitor Ma Renyi, the traitor is ruining the country and the people, there are many cronies, these people are only doing things that are jealous of the virtuous and harmful, and so on.Zhao Zhuangkun was filled with righteous indignation when he mentioned the traitor, and wished he could strike him with an axe. Zhao Mengshou and Zhao Duanhe's words were much more tactful.

Zhao Yousheng didn't participate in the discussion much. He went up to the pavilion alone and stood on the railing to watch the moon. Although the downstairs was lively, his heart was very peaceful, as peaceful as moonlight.

"You Sheng, why are you here alone?"

The patriarch's voice, Zhao Yousheng, who was leaning on the railing, hurriedly turned around, saying that he was here to disperse the smell of alcohol.

Zhao Shilang came to the side, looked at the children of his family, and looked at the dim moonlight in the sky, he asked: "You Sheng is coming soon, what are your plans for the future?"

"Father of the Hui family, no." Zhao Yousheng didn't tell the truth.

"Are you interested in participating in the scientific examination next year?" the patriarch asked him.

Zhao Yousheng dared not say in front of his father that he was not interested in scientific research, but he could still say it on the patriarch's side. He shook his head and said, "Will the patriarch return to Beijing to work?"

"You Sheng, I am too old to do what I want, and you young people still have a lot to do." Zhao Shilang did have a tired look on his face, he was pushed out of Beijing, although the emperor still thought of him often, and even wanted to keep him.

"Father, if Dragonscale City and Hue City are breached one day, how long can the capital last?"

"If there is such a day, our army will have no danger to defend, and I'm afraid we can only last for another two or three years." Zhao Shilang can imagine what kind of desperate situation it is. Resist, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist anymore.

Zhao Yousheng nodded. He knew best that once this winter was over, in two years time, wars and political affairs would no longer be a problem. The two cities fell one after another, and then the country collapsed, and the flames of war swept everything like a storm.

"You Sheng, why do you ask that? The two cities are as solid as gold, and have resisted foreign enemies for decades, how can they be breached in one dynasty?" Zhao Shilang felt that such a thing was impossible, even if the treacherous officials were in power and the emperor was weak , The country also has the strength to raise troops to guard the border.

"To be honest, juniors often have a dream." Zhao Yousheng couldn't tell the truth to the clan father, but he felt that he should tell the clan father what would happen in the future.

Zhao Shilang asked: "He Meng?"

Zhao Yousheng stated in almost ruthless words: "I often dream that it is the time when the kapok withers, and the news of the fall of the two cities comes from Quancheng.

"You Sheng!" Zhao Shilang sternly stopped when he heard that he was describing the scene of subjugation.

"I also dreamed that a disaster befell Mu Zongyuan, the stone statue was stained with blood, the kapok tree was red, and there was no living thing in the huge courtyard." Zhao Yousheng still finished his words.

Zhao Shilang was so astonished that he seemed to lose his voice for a moment, and it took him a long time to hear him whisper: "It's definitely not the case."

After a long time, Zhao's father took the youngest son who had woken up, and called the eldest son in the courtyard. Zhao Yousheng said goodbye to the patriarch, but the patriarch was still in a trance and did not respond.

Zhao Yousheng thinks that the clan father has been in the court for many years and knows that the court is corrupt and people's hearts are lax, and the national power has long been emptied due to repeated wars. The clan father understands that it is not impossible.

The father and son returned home, the moonlight in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the servant carried a lamp in front of him, illuminating the stone statue under the kapok tree. Its smiling face, under the shaking of the lamp, looked meaningful.

Zhao Youcheng held his younger brother's hand tightly so that he raised his head and looked at his elder brother puzzled. Zhao Youcheng asked him if he was sleepy, and he rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm so sleepy, is it that brother is going to carry me?"

"walk on my own."

"Everyone else's older brother will carry his younger brother."

"How old are you."

Zhao Youqian yawned, leaned towards his father, and clung to his father's arm very intimately. Zhao's father raised his hand and patted his head, saying that he was only a few steps away from home, and that a good man should walk home by himself.

In the sky, dark clouds covering the moon fluttered, and the moon poked out. The father and son finally arrived at the door of the house.Wu Xin heard the door calling and opened the courtyard door. Zhao's mother, who had been waiting for them for a long time, greeted them. Seeing her husband was drunk and staggered in, Zhao Yousheng was carrying You Jin, who fell asleep on his back. She hurried to help him Husband, laughed and asked why he came back so late.

The New Year is approaching, and the place is lively. Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu traveled together. They rode out of the east of the city, came to the port, and boarded the Wave Watching Pavilion. They saw many fishing boats, cargo ships, and fishing boats moored in the harbor, and those cargo ships were engaged in short-distance trade. Ships transporting goods between ports in the country, or trading between neighboring islands, are smaller than seagoing ships.

Ahead, a boat full of sheep was trying to dock at the port. The waves were big and the boat was small. The boat was swayed by the wind and waves, and it might capsize at any time. The sheep also felt the danger and bleated loudly.Chen Yu was anxious, so he asked Pan Zhen to help, and tied the boat rope thrown ashore by the boatman to the stone pile.

The hull of the boat was shaken by the waves, and the ropes connecting the hull were constantly being pulled. Pan Zhen was clumsy and couldn't tie it up after several attempts. Finally, he was tied up with the help of Wu Chu.

The boatman said to his father and son that the boat was safe. The old father hurriedly thanked Pan Zhen and Wu Chu. Seeing that the hull of the boat was still shaking violently, the flock of sheep carried panicked and bleated, and there was still a danger of capsizing, the son called his father to unload the sheep.

Pan Zhen and Wu Chu then helped unload the sheep, Zhao Yousheng and Chen Yu stepped forward, Zhao Yousheng noticed that the breed of sheep transported by the ship was rare in the local area, and asked the boatman where the sheep came from, the boatman said: "Go back. Mr. Lang, my little old man sells sheep in Penghu all the year round, and the yellow sheep there are cheap and fat, and the islanders graze them all over the mountains, and there can be tens of thousands of them."

"I only know that people on Penghu Island have a long life expectancy. I don't want people there to be good at raising sheep." Zhao Yousheng thought about it as soon as he heard it. , very few people go there.

"Ah Leftover, I heard from my father that cargo ships like this are used for offshore trade. Although offshore trade is not as profitable as long-distance voyages, many large merchants start from small boats." Chen Yu beside him whispered, after all Coming from a maritime merchant family, I have heard about these things.

Zhao Yousheng thought to himself, it suits him, he has recovered from his injury, and he is just in time to think about the life in the sea.

However, if Zhao Yousheng wanted to engage in maritime trade secretly, he would have to wait until his father was not in Quancheng, and it would not take long. After the winter, and next spring, Father Zhao would naturally become an official.

In the spring, father Zhao received the letter of appointment just like in the previous life, but the place he went to was different from the previous life, and the position was also different. He changed from magistrate of Xinghua county to general judge of Huizhou.

There will be such a change. Zhao Yousheng thinks that it is likely to be related to the patriarch. The patriarch who originally planned not to return to the court accepted the appointment of the court and returned to the capital to assist the emperor.

In the last life, the patriarch always refused to use him on the grounds of being old and sick, and he was disheartened towards the court.

That night, Zhao Yousheng's conversation with the patriarch in the pavilion seemed to have influenced the patriarch.

Even if the people in the political center make a small change, it will affect everyone and even affect the current situation.

The author has something to say: Ah Xiang: It's always right to look for Xiaoyu.
