Chapter 141

People around the ridge are like the moon

The grounds of Jinling are made of large pieces of bluestone, which looks very clean. The streets are planned strictly, and the businesses on the streets are orderly, lively but restrained.

In terms of prosperity alone, Jinling is actually better than the capital.

Wuyi Lane where Yangling lived was the location of Sun Quan's guard guard camp in Shicheng. It was named because the soldiers all wore Wumei military uniforms. Since the famous prime minister Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Wang Dao lived here, many nobles lived here in the past, and tall buildings rose one after another, and Wuyi Lane was famous all over the world.

However, this alley itself is not spacious. Since the residents are all high-ranking and prominent families, although no one prohibits them, ordinary people consciously avoid them, so there are even fewer pedestrians coming and going in the long and deep alleys.

Yang Ling and Han Wu walked out of the alley side by side, on the Qinhuai River, in front of Confucius Temple, while walking Yangling, he explained in detail what happened to the trip to Jiangnan.

Han Wu heard the wonderful scene and couldn't help but sigh when he heard Haining's fight against the Japanese: "It's a pity that it would be great if I could show off my skills in front of the Qiantang Tide at that time."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "You are an official in a wealthy place like Jinling, and now you are in the position of a hundred households. What's wrong with this? I am in a high position now. I don't know how many people are trying to change you and can settle down in other places. If something happens, I will feel at ease."

Han Wu frowned and said, "I know that the career is dangerous, but at worst, I can lose my official position and get rid of my post. How many people are actually raiding their families? It is good to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but you are often worried. Whatever you think and worry is like this, what if that happens, will the girl be happy after watching it? If this is always the case, I would rather see you as the official in the rooster crowing postmaster, but you are happy."

Yang Ling sighed: Yes, when he was in Jimingyi, he used to eat wild vegetables and simple rice, but how could he worry about so much? When he was idle, he brewed a pot of tea and hugged his young mother in his knees. The two of them rubbed their ears and made some family matters. How warm that day was, what about now?

Yang Ling stopped in front of Zhuque Bridge, looking at the flowing water under the bridge with regret. Now he wants to retreat bravely. Is that possible?

I heard the saying that if you are poor, you will be safe and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. I have heard it when I was very young, but I have never felt it as deeply as I am now. If I had never had the opportunity to walk out of the Jiming Post, I might stay in that mountain city and live a small life with my beloved woman. Now that I have stood in this position and have an opportunity to change history, can I give up and retreat?

Yang Ling sighed and said guiltily: "Yes, since I entered Beijing, I have been with my young lady less and less. I hope that after I return to Beijing this time, I will no longer have to run around."

Han Wei looked at him a little depressed. He reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled and said, "I just wanted you to see more clearly. Actually, you are doing a good job now. If these exciting things are being sent back to Beijing, do you think your young lady will be unhappy when she hears it?

Why do you regret to teach your husband to find a title? Women? Just like that, if you are tired of her every day, she will still think that her man is incompetent and cannot make a name for himself. When you become an official, she will blame you for being busy with business and neglect her.

Will Young Mother be unhappy if you have a promising future? You said that in Young Mother’s heart, which one makes her more proud now, and you or a scholar who has been staying in Yangjiaping?”

Yang Ling laughed and said, "Second brother, don't always talk about others. Now my second brother has settled down. When will he marry a wife and come in? Jiangnan is full of beauties, isn't there anyone who can see you?"

Han Wu smiled and said, "I am still interested in fighting on the battlefield and making achievements. Women... There is no cute sword or sword. Let's talk about asking for a wife when I want a son."

He said, patted the sword around his waist and said, "To be honest, you can think of a way to transfer me to the nine sides or the coast. As long as there is a war, it will be done. Stay here and the bones are rusted."

Yang Ling felt aroused when he heard this and said, "Okay. Since you have this idea, I will fulfill your wish. But there is no need to rush, wait until I return to Beijing to talk about this matter."

Yang Ling suddenly remembered that if he asked the emperor to lift the sea ban after returning to Beijing and communicate with foreign countries, then there would be a powerful naval team. Han and Wu were both civil and military, so it should not be difficult to learn naval combat techniques. If he was transferred to the naval commander for good cultivation, he might be a famous naval commander in the future.

However, it is easy for the emperor to say, how can the officials nod. Those ministers in the court see the sea that they do not understand and regard the face of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom as more important than anything else. It is lighter in the ocean and lighter in business. The truth that everyone in the future understands. With the concepts and consciousness of civil and military officials at this time, how many people can understand and accept it?

Many things are not difficult to do, but the difficulty lies in the fact that no one can think of it. Even if someone can think of it, people who stick to the rules will do their best to prevent you from doing it. In his heart, he still believes that he is upholding justice and doing good things for the country and the people. When he thinks about the situation he will face after returning to Beijing, Yang Ling can't help feeling powerless.

A few casually dressed characters were quietly accompanying him. Liu Biao, dressed in a scholar in front, suddenly appeared and made a gesture to him quietly. Yang Ling understood and nodded slightly to him.

He now lives in the private residence of Feng Chengzhi, the eunuch guarding the Jinling town. Although Feng Chengzhi respects him very much, Eunuch Feng is nominally a member of the capital's Lijian. He is considered Wang Yue's confidant, and Yang Ling has to worry about him.

Originally, there was nothing important to come to Jinling this time, and there was no need to hide it from him. However, Lord Shao from the Southern Fufu Division of the Jinyiwei came to greet him, which gave him some hope for the alliance with the Jinyiwei.

If the Jinyiwei was willing to contact him, he would definitely avoid Eunuch Feng. So he used the excuse of reuniting with his inner brother for a long time and sent him so far alone to have the opportunity to contact the Jinyiwei.

If the Jinyiwei really wanted to form an alliance with him, he would definitely send someone to pay attention to his whereabouts and contact him. Liu Biao's gestures just now confirmed his judgment.

After Yang Ling sent Han Wu across Zhuque Bridge and bowed to him, Liu Biao approached him and said, "Sir, the Nanzhen Fushi sent someone to meet Zairen. I have tested his waist card and his identity is reliable."

Yang Ling nodded invisibly and asked, "Where is Lord Shao?"

Liu Biao smiled. The fan handle in his hand pointed to a red boat in the river under the bridge. Yang Ling understood and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Everyone said that Qinhuai is so romantic. Let's go and see it."

Changganli lives in the south of the city, and is a place where officials and people live together. At the same time, it is the last stop for the gentry and celebrities in Jinling City to welcome and send guests. Therefore, several hotels and inns opened at the alley. The business is quite good.

There are also some small vendors selling Jinling's specialties in the alley. There are many merchants from Jinling from south to north, and they always bring some specialties before leaving, so the vendors here are still rich.

In short, this place is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the members are relatively complicated. When entering an alley, there is a shallow dead end, with white walls, gray tiles, and red painted red railings. It looks like a relatively wealthy family.

Lao Zhang, who set up a stall and sold stones, sat at the entrance of the alley. He thought that he had not come to business for a long time, and he was leaning lazily against the wall and basking in the sun. Suddenly, two women wearing red shirts and graceful figures walked up slowly, and their pretty appearance immediately attracted his attention.

It was a master and a maid. The lady in front of her was beautiful and beautiful. She was as bright as a snowy woman. She was wearing a delicate red dress and a moon-white cloak with light patterns on her plum blossoms. Her gait was swaying and she was floating like a fairy when she walked.

Lao Zhang couldn't help but gulp: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. I set up a stall at the entrance of this alley every day, but I don't know whose little lady is. It's like a fairy girl descending to earth. If my wife is half as beautiful as her, then I'm really happier than a god."

The vendor dared not stare at the other person's wife's face. He lowered his eyes reluctantly, stared at the pair of lightly moving bow shoes, and his skirt flew. Lotus feet passed by lightly in front of him.

Taking this opportunity, Lao Zhang raised his eyes and glanced quickly. He only saw that his pretty face was crystal clear and pink, which was a little more transparent than the Yuhua Stone for sale in his box. That beauty, especially the thousands of styles, was the only one I saw in my life. I think only Miss Ma from Changting Restaurant could compete with this peerless beauty......

Two women in red shirts walked to the house with small blue bricks. The house seemed to be a little old, with green moss growing in the darkness above and below the horse's head wall.

The maid in red stepped forward and grabbed the door knock and knocked on it a few times. Then a servant opened the door and stuck his head out. Old Zhang looked at it from a distance, and saw the servant answering a few words. Then he welcomed the two beauties into the door.

Dai Louer, who reported her name, stood calmly in front of the screen wall and waited for her family to report. From the outside, the courtyard was small blue bricks, low walls and narrow courtyard, and it seemed that it was not big inside. But standing in this courtyard, it looked deep, and the courtyard seemed to be opened several times behind and formed a long courtyard.

The pretty maid in red is Chu Ling. She looked around worriedly and said softly: "Miss, look, this house seems to be quite old. This old man Peng is really the shark king who is everywhere?"

Cheng Qiyun said confidently: "It's simple to prove it. As long as he listens to my nonsense name and is willing to come out to see me, he will never be wrong."

Chu Ling shrank for a moment and said a little timidly: "Miss, are we... we... we... we are a little reckless? If... if... we ask Lord Yang to send someone, it's safer. These are all heroes in the desperate world. We... we have no reliance."

Cheng Qiyun smiled faintly and said, "Yang Ling returns to Beijing at any time, and we have no time to plan. You don't have to worry, there is no reliance, that is, reliance. This shark now has children and grandchildren, and he has his family with his family. Do you think he settled here and worked hard to manage it and would be willing to abandon it at will and then wander in a foreign land? If he can't figure out where we are, he dare not do anything to us.

My solution is that I have to obtain the help of this pirate king to work. Although he may not trust me, he is a woman, but he has the right to pretend to be a tiger. He has to sit down and talk to me. When it is urgent, I will lift up Yangling's tiger flag again. Even if I am a little fox, he, the shark on the shore, has to cooperate with me obediently."

Seeing the servant running back in a hurry, with a respectful expression. Cheng Qiyun's nose wrinkled and she smiled gently, and she smiled like a little fox.

Old Master Peng has a very vulgar name called Peng Fugui.

It is said that he was originally from Jinling. Before he was born, he moved to Dali with his father. Seventy years have passed in a flash. He made a fortune by being a tea and horse merchant, so he brought his family back to his hometown in glory and bought the house in Changganli.

After being away from home for so long, of course, there are no relatives, friends, and neighbors. So Mr. Peng just lives in a quiet place and is his rich man, and has always rarely interacted with neighbors.

Old Master Peng was teasing his grandson with a bunch of grapes in the backyard. When he heard the servant say that two female guests came to ask for a meeting, he frowned and said, "How can a serious woman come to visit someone else's house? Did the fourth brother mess with some wild flowers and grass outside and come to him?"

The servant said, "The lady said... she was entrusted by the old man's distant relative and had a letter written to him to him."

"Hmm?" Peng Fugui threw the grapes back on the plate and handed the child over to his family. A cold look flashed in his eyes and said, "Distant relative, what distant relative?"

Mr. Peng has white hair and beards, about seventy feet, and a red face, but his body is stout and his hands and feet are extremely large. When he stands up, his movements are still very flexible, and his tall figure is actually very powerful.

Although the family faced Old Master Peng day and night, they still took a step back involuntarily and said embarrassedly: "That lady said she was your distant nephew, named King Pengsha."

Old Mr. Peng's face twitched a little, and suddenly showed a surprise expression with sudden realization and said, "Ah!...Ah, it turned out to be him. I have been missing for many years. I didn't expect that my nephew would actually find out about my residence. Please invite that distinguished guest to my study."

Old Master Peng didn't study, and there were only a dozen beautiful butterflies on the bookcase. The extremely beautiful woman in red walked into the room lightly, and her eyes were betting on Old Master Peng. She looked at her for a moment before she smiled, and said with a curious look: "I am a noble concubine, I have met Old Master Peng."

Old Master Peng looked at her in surprise. Although he had heard that he was a woman, he did not expect that it was such a delicate beauty. Is there a young woman who meets this condition now in the Tao who has the same origin?

He waved his hand and asked the servant to retreat. Then he walked over and closed the door. When he turned around, his eyes suddenly became extremely fierce and he stared at the uninvited guest coldly.

Cheng Qiyun looked calm, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and her eyes were without any timidity under the cold gaze of the bloody pirate king with his hands, and she even blinked at him playfully.

Old Master Peng looked at her up and down, suddenly laughed. He walked back to the table and sat down, saying, "Please sit down, girl. Since you have shown my background, we don't have to hide it. We are all fellow travelers in the world, so we should watch and help.

The girl is short of money? It’s three or five hundred taels of silver. The old man can still get it. If the lion speaks loudly, haha, girl, do you think you can find evidence to prove that I am the shark king?"

Cheng Qiyun smiled and shook her head, saying, "Old man, do you think I am the one who comes to fight Qiufeng? I am here today and don't want your money. On the contrary, I am here to send you money. As long as you do me a favor, maybe... In the near future, the old man will become the richest man in Jinling. Is this gift big enough?

When Mr. Peng heard this, he looked at her in surprise for a while, then sneered: "Which road you are from? I am older and just want to live a few days of comfortable life. The bigger the transaction, the higher the price. What big deal do you want to do, the old man won't ask. The old man won't ask what you came from, the old man won't ask, please go back."

Cheng Qiyun restrained her smile and said lightly: "Old man is too careful. Don't worry, there is no risk in this matter. Is there any sincerity in this? If you don't listen to my instructions, you will drive me away? Haha, if I hadn't been north recently, I wouldn't have come so rush to see you..."

"Going north?" Old Master Peng was stunned. He looked at Cheng Qiyun's outfit, red clothes, white cloak, an angry figure, delicate curves, breast augmentation bee waist, and her smiling and charming face, seeing that she was at least ten years old, suddenly remembered someone in her heart. He couldn't help but stand up suddenly and said sternly: "Are you sent by Yang?"

Cheng Qiyun was about to come up with her purpose, but after hearing this, she didn't react for a moment. She also jumped up and said in surprise: "What did you say? How did you know that I came with him?"

When Mr. Peng heard this, he thumped up at the sky. He stretched out his hand like a god and slapped the table hard. With a thump, he flipped the table and found a pair of sharp tiger claws from below. He smiled and said, "Miss of the Yang family, the old man is just to make a living. He and you, the heroes of the Green Forest who want to change the dynasty and rebel, are the well water and water that will not violate the rivers!

I will say one last sentence. You walk on your Yangguan Road and I cross my single-plank bridge. We have never seen it today. Otherwise, we will see the true seal under our hands and let me, the King of Sharks, learn the true skills of the Hongmaster Yang Kuanhu!"

Cheng Qiyun was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She had already set up some remarks, and she expected that Old Master Peng would never dare to hurt her. Her generous conditions would definitely be able to persuade the pirate leader.

But looking at his current appearance, he was about to take action, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is the wife of the Yang family? Who do you think I am?"

The people around the trunk are like the moon, the white wrists are condensed with snow, the hair is between the eyebrows of willow leaves, and the peach blossoms are growing on the face.

Who doesn’t know that the number one beauty in Changgan is Ma Lianer from Changting Restaurant?

Changting Restaurant is a hotel located in the outermost part of Changganli. Not far from the front of the store, the green grass is the Changting where guests are sent. The location is good, so the business is good.

Since a few months ago, Boss Ma's niece returned to his hometown from the north and often came to restaurants to help, the Ma family's business has improved.

Didn’t it mean that the beauty is delicious? The beautiful woman with apricot face and peach cheeks and a slim body as the moon is pretty and charming, even in a cloth skirt, which makes people look pleasing to the eye. With the beauty and wine, the wine seems to be more fragrant. How can this customer not flock to him?

People in Jinling have delicious ducks. The osmanthus duck skin is white and tender, fat but not greasy. Almost every restaurant has its own unique marinated osmanthus duck. Cut it into thin slices and eat it to make it delicious.

At this time, Ma Lian'er was wearing a light green dress, with a blue cloth apron tied around her slender waist, and holding a shiny knife in her hand in a delicate manner. She stood in front of the cabinet and skillfully chopped off pieces of duck meat. She fell gracefully in the plate next to the blue flower cluster.

She had beautiful eyes. She stared at the salt duck that gradually became smaller in her hand, and her knife was fast. It seemed that she regarded the duck as the man in front of her, the elegant and handsome scholar in white clothes.

"Lian'er, long time no see," the man coughed and spoke embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, my surname is Ma, please call me Miss Ma."

"Uh...Miss Ma, we... have been no see for a long time."

"Have you been there for a long time? Why don't I feel it?"

"Of course there is, of course there is, I...I...I...I'm like three autumns after a day."

"Sneak" laughed, like the peach blossoms blooming, and the young master in front of him swayed his heart and couldn't help but want to touch her hands, but the pretty eyes that were as curved as a crescent moon just gently swept him, and his hand immediately shrank back and said embarrassedly: "Liang'er, I...I..."

"Buzz~~", the sharp knife was slapped on the wooden table, making a buzzing sound. The young master in front of him was so scared that he couldn't help but take two steps back. Ma Lian'er's pretty face was stern and said coldly: "Young Master Guan, I said, don't call me Lian'er. Whoever calls me Lian'er? I want him to look good!"
