Chapter 37 Transactions (1)

Before the ship set off, Zhang Jieyang came to my boat again to say goodbye. He was respectful to me probably because I had met Feng Dao on the way to Xunyang Tower. Fortunately, Feng Daotong was the person I knew in the end. Otherwise, if I had any damage, Zhang Jieyang would have ten heads, so I was afraid that it would not be enough.

"You are a magistrate who is doing well. When I saw the people on the ground of Jiujiang, I was very peaceful and prosperous. When I went to Sichuan, I would definitely report to the emperor immediately what I saw and heard along the way. Of course, Jiujiang must mention it." I slowly learned some official accents, and when I spoke, I was quite calm.

Master told me a long time ago that those who are in the superiors cannot let their subordinates guess their true feelings in their daily words and deeds, so that they can feel unfathomable, so their awe towards those who are superiors will become even more powerful.

When Zhang Jieyang heard my words, the smile on his face immediately squeezed into a ball. He was probably embarrassed in front of others in Xunyang Tower. At this time, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed me a few times, shouting "Thank you, Your Highness Rui, for your cultivation."

"Get up, I'm a little tired!" Facing Zhang Jieyang's deliberate flattery, I didn't show my joy or anger. I just waved my hand and wanted to fight him and leave. In fact, this is nothing. As an official, you must have the authority of an official. As a prince with a boundary, I have the "Emperor's Whip" in my hand. There are probably not many princes in the world who are more powerful than me. If every official comes to curry favor with me and I have to socialize politely, then I will probably live in social engagements in this life.

Zhang Jieyang is also a person who knows the autumn when he falls leaves. After hearing what I said, he immediately said a few words, then bent down and said goodbye.

After Zhang Jieyang left, I looked at the gift lists from the officials in Jiujiang that I received today. Although they said "local specialties" to me, those specialties were too expensive. Among them were Poyang pearls, Lushan jade, Jiujiang platinum necklaces, etc. Although these pearls and jade were all given local place names in front of them, who knows whether he produced pearls in Poyang? Is there any jade on Lushan? Where did Jiujiang produce platinum? No one can know about these.

As I looked at it, I saw the things Zhang Jieyang gave again. Although he only delivered two things, I couldn't help but secretly praised in my heart: "This man is indeed a good player in the officialdom!"

The two items he sent were Wang Mian's early spring pictures of Nanzhi, and the other was a calligraphy by Zhao Mengfu. Although there was no news among the people, the fact that I won the three yuan in the officialdom was probably already circulated. Zhang Jieyang was able to meet my preferences and brought me the best calligraphy and paintings. Obviously, he had thought about it in his mind. Moreover, since the emperor's grandfather ascended the throne, he paid the most attention to combating corruption in the officialdom. If he gave gold, silver and treasures, it would be vulgar, and the bribery would be a vindication. Therefore, from his two gifts, I could already see his eye, and Zhang Jieyang's name finally left a deep impression on my mind.

My fleet set off again and stayed peacefully all the night. But early in the morning the next day, I discovered something that made me feel abrupt, because I saw it on the deck, and I don’t know when it started. Yesterday, I saw the flower boat in Yuhuxuan in Jiujiang and was following our fleet far away. In fact, they followed our fleet, and they could not be suspicious at all. After all, the Yangtze River has developed water transport and there are usually many merchant ships coming and going. Even if they traveled slowly, their distance from our side was not considered "unpredictable". However, because I recognized the Shuiyuenu on the other side, I secretly felt that they were coming for me, and my vigilance became strong.

Usually at night, our fleet would find a calm place near the river to stop, and then after a night, we set off for another trip the next day. This night was no exception. After I passed Zi Ruo's special service, I finally fell asleep.

I was so confused that I didn't know how long I had been sleeping. Suddenly, I felt a strange feeling that shocked me, and then I woke up and sat up from the bed.

"Are you King Rui Zhu Changluo?" A faint voice sounded near the window in my room.

I was shocked when I heard the sound, but when I heard the other person's question clearly, I remembered that when I was asleep before, the other person could have taken action against me first, so my mind quickly calmed down.

"Yes, I am Zhu Changluo!" From the other party's voice, we can tell that she is a young woman, and she should be a very beautiful young woman. At least the saying "A man's sweet voice" made me look forward to her, "Don't you know if the girl has any advice?"

I tried my best to look at the other person in the dark, but I could only see her figure hazy. It seemed that she had a good figure and didn't know what kind of clothes she was wearing. It made people feel that this outfit wrapped her whole tightly, forming a very good outline between the protrusions and the circles.

After thinking for a moment, I suddenly remembered Shuiyuenu, then remembered Yuhuxuan, and asked again: "Is the girl from Yuhuxuan?"

"You are such a smart man!" The woman smiled without any nervousness. "I heard a long time ago that a Rui King, who is both virtuous and intelligent, has appeared in the court. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."

"She is indeed from Yuhuxuan!" Hearing the other party's tone, he admitted my question. After pondering for a moment, I said again: "Miss is too rewarded. I don't know if the girl is here... Well, was it because she made a bond with me for Miss Shui?"

"I have also heard about the matter between King Rui and Yuenu. It's just a trivial matter. Our Yuhuxuan dare not be enemies with the court. How could we find the bad luck of being His Highness Rui, whom we love the most today for these trivial matters?"

"Then... ask the girl for her surname?" The other party's words made me feel a little doubtful. I don't know what her purpose was. It means that I have no other relationship with Yuhuxuan except for Shui Yuenu's affairs. What exactly did she want to do?

"The little woman's reputation is not worth mentioning. It's better not to mention it. But today the little woman came here and wanted to beg His Highness Rui for help."

"Oh?" I thought about her identity while wondering, "What can I do to you?"

"His Royal Highness Rui's fief is in Sichuan, and he will be in charge of the entire Sichuan in the future. Only His Royal Highness Rui can accomplish the affairs of the little woman!" When the woman was talking, I found that unless she spoke out loud, she would feel as if she did not exist in the room. Such a brilliant skill in hiding her body had reached the extreme level.

"Are you Miss Chun in Yuhu?" I asked suddenly, and then paid close attention to her reaction.

Sure enough, the woman was slightly stunned at first, then she laughed quickly and said, "It seems that your highness is really smart." While speaking, she finally took two steps forward slowly and sat on the end of my bed without any hesitation. Until this time, the cold moonlight shot in from outside the room, I finally saw her people clearly.

She was wearing a black dress wrapped in a body, and I didn't know what this set was made of, but it looked like the skin of an animal, which was polished very smoothly and was sewn from head to toe into a whole set. Except for a few buttons on the neck that could be untied, there were no gaps. There were also some water beads on this weird leather jacket, which happened to drip on my bed when she sat down.

However, I didn't care about these little things. Instead, her appearance and figure instantly attracted all my mind, making me look away when I looked at her.

She is such a beauty, about twenty years old. I wonder if it was under the influence of her tight leather jacket that her body exuded a strong mature charm. Her tall breasts, slender waist, round hips, and slender legs, which really made any man secretly praise her "Heat Beauty" when he saw her.

Looking at her face again, her appearance can be described as beautiful. Among the women I know, only Hu Meixin and Li Jiru can be compared with her. Of course, she has a different seductive style from Hu Meixin and Li Jiru. She looks more mature, especially her eyes, which is like telling the love between men and women. Just looking at me so gently makes me imagine it.

"I want to get her!" It was like a beast that was provoked by lust. Suddenly, a voice called out in my heart. "How could this happen?" I forced myself to suppress this look, tried to make myself awake as much as possible. Looking at the other party, I asked again: "I wonder if Miss Yu wants me to help me if I have something to do?"
