Rise From the Humble

The dispute in front of the restaurant came to an end, and people gave various praises to the two guards in uniform who had judged the case impartially. The shabby young man also knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude. When everyone thought of the honest young man who had just spoken out, they found that he had long disappeared. The figure of that honest young man.

"It's a pity. I originally wanted to make friends."

The guard in Feiyu uniform looked around and didn't see the honest young man who spoke just now. He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that it was quite a pity.

At this time, the honest young man they were thinking of had already crossed another street with his schoolbag slung across his body and a black wooden board under his arm.

When Zhu Pingan returned to the inn from the original road, three large ships on the Yangtze River were going down the river. The three large ships are like a combination of an official ship and a painting boat. They are thick and strong, but they also have pavilions and pavilions. Their safety, beauty and comfort are far beyond what ordinary passenger ships can match.

On the high pavilion of a large ship, there were brocade quilts and carpets sewn from animal skins, and the surrounding railings were also covered with brocade quilts.

A girl as lazy as a demon sat comfortably on the carpet, leaning against the railing. She held a scroll in her snow-white jade hands. There was a poem on the title page:

"There are trees in the mountains, but the trees have branches, and my heart is happy for you, but you don't know it."

The girl's lips were red and her teeth were white, and she looked attentive. She was sitting there like a vixen, turning over books comfortably and passing the time in boredom.

There was also a little maid with a round face and a bun sitting on her knees on the carpet. Stretching out her slender little hands, she gently massaged the slender legs of the lazy girl, and massaged her very hard, soothingly, relaxed and rhythmically, and her pink little face was flushed.

Down at the attic, a few old women with big shoulders and round waists sat on stools and looked at the Yangtze River, eating melon seeds and throwing the skins of melon seeds into the river.

Further down, there are dozens of guards in uniform uniforms, with scimitars at their waists scattered around the side of the ship. They are watching the passing boats and boats with vigilance. There is even a man with a long bow on his back and sharp eyes at the bow of the ship. , watching the passing ships around with vigilance.

Although ordinary knives and the like were not regulated in the Ming Dynasty, bows, crossbows and armor were still regulated weapons.

In Ming Dynasty. Carrying a longbow and a crossbow is not much different from carrying a rocket launcher in modern times. But the person at the bow of this big ship dared to parade through the city with a long bow in a high-sounding manner, which shows how confident he is.

All passing ships would stay away if they saw these three large ships. There was no checkpoint along the way that dared to block these three large ships. They were all released as soon as possible, and by the way, the ships were replenished with fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. So these three large ships went all the way down the river, more than twice as fast as ordinary ships.

"Miss. Look, there's a big fish swimming over there."

The little maid Baozi who was giving a massage suddenly saw a big white spindle-shaped fish more than two meters long not far from the boat swimming quickly, and suddenly jumped out of the water like a horse. , so Baozi’s little maid opened her mouth wide and started chattering excitedly.

Hearing this, the lazy girl turned her eyes from the book to the river. After looking at the big fish not far away, he gently tapped the book in his hand on the forehead of the little maid Baozi, raised the corners of his lips and said:

"Stupid girl. What a big fish. It's strange to see it rarely. It's a cum, with a body like a sturgeon and a tail like a fish. Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty described it in "Erya Notes". The dirty fishermen here often call it Jiang Ma, and You are equally ignorant!"

"Miss. You are so awesome."

The little maid Baozi covered her forehead and looked at her young lady with admiration. There are almost stars in my eyes.

"I told you to read more books a long time ago."

The lazy girl once again tapped the scroll in her hand on the forehead of the little maid Baozi.

"It hurts, Miss. I also want to read a book, but I fall asleep as soon as I read it. It's so strange." The little maid Baozi covered her forehead and looked at her lady aggrievedly.

Hearing this, the lazy girl couldn't help but roll her eyes in amusement.

This stupid girl has the nerve to say that every time she is asked to read, her little head is moving bit by bit, like a kowtowing insect.

"Oh, Miss, I heard the big guy on the bow said that we can reach Yingtian in the evening. It's less than two days. It's so fast." The little maid with a bun face said with her fingers.

"It's naturally faster to go down the river. Once you turn from Yingtian to the Grand Canal, it won't be so fast." The lazy girl turned her gaze from the Yangtze River to the north and said calmly.

"Well, what if we can't catch up with the old lady's sixtieth birthday? They are..."

When Baozi's little maid said this, she suddenly thought that she, a little maid, could not speak ill of her master's family. She quickly covered her little mouth with her two chubby hands, covered the words she was about to say, and let out a whimper. Woo sound.

The lazy girl didn't take it seriously at all. She raised the corners of her lips in a playful arc, her snow-white fingertips slid her long black hair, and her black eyes rolled her eyes disdainfully.

"I haven't seen that old witch for a long time, haha. I didn't expect that old witch to be more lively and joyful. My good granddaughter must give her a big gift. By the way, I wonder if the eldest cousin and the second cousin are okay, haha. "Giggle"

The lazy and beautiful girl curled her lips, rolled her dark eyes, and giggled.

The little maid Baozi who was doing the massage next to her couldn't help but trembled when she heard her young lady's laughter.

There was laughter and laughter in the attic for a while.

The old woman eating melon seeds in the attic shrank her neck and suddenly felt a bit of a chilly feeling.

"Let me tell you, Miss, the guide said that the river horse has appeared, the storm has started, and the weather will change. I hope Miss will return to the room quickly and take care of yourself."

The man on the bow of the ship carrying a long bow stood under the pavilion, respectfully clasped his fists and loudly replied to the pavilion.

The guide on the boat is an old fisherman on the Yangtze River. He is very familiar with the Yangtze River. If the guide said that there is a danger of storm, then there will be a storm coming nine times out of ten. I remembered what the old man said before leaving. The man carrying a long bow on his back The man didn't dare to make any mistakes. After listening to the guide's words, he immediately came over to report back.

"I know, you all should pay attention to your safety. When you get to the capital, I will ask dad for a reward for you." A lark-like voice came from the pavilion.

"Thank you, miss."

The man carrying the long bow clasped his fists in thanks, and then turned around to arrange things on the ship. The storm was coming, and there was a lot to prepare for.

"Miss, do you think my uncle will be so surprised when he sees us?" The little maid Baozi said suddenly while packing her things, blinking at her young lady with her big eyes.

"Who has the time to see him?" The lazy girl closed the book in her hand and spoke calmly.

"But we are going to the capital, so we will definitely meet." Baozi's little maid said with a puffed mouth.

"It's just a toad, who rarely sees him."

The lazy and beautiful girl stood up, flattened her lips, and got off the pavilion.
