Chapter 50 Meeting
The heavy rain came suddenly. There were many passing ships parked at the dock, but most of them were loaded with cargo, and the merchants' employees were resting on them.
It was not easy for Zhu Mingqing to buy a suitable boat.
"Sir, we are almost there."
On the deck, Fatty saw the dock not far away and was delighted. He immediately went to report to the adults.
Tan Guangyi walked forward slowly and looked towards the pier, but his eyes could only see the back of a woman.
Through the drizzle and the distance, it is actually difficult to tell each other's identities.
But he recognized it immediately.
Tan Guangyi held the railing tightly with his hands, and a deep longing flashed between his brows. Since the death of his family, nothing could stir his mood.
But at this moment, although he looked very calm on the outside, in fact, there was already a storm in his heart. The corners of his usually expressionless face were slightly raised.
He immediately came down and ordered: "Speed up and stop the boat ashore."
Zhu Mingqing and others inquired about dozens of ships in a row. She offered a high price and even contracted the cargo on the ship, but no one was willing to sell.
At times like this, having a ship means indirectly saving a life.
No one wants to have money but no life to spend it!
The sun moved westward and the sky gradually darkened.
Zhu Mingqing wiped the raindrops from his forehead and looked at the mud on his feet. If there was no suitable one, he would have to go back.
"Mother, look at that ship." Luo Huai saw the tall barge coming from afar at a glance.
Zhu Mingqing turned around, her peach blossom eyes lit up, and she revealed a crescent-shaped smile.
Not to mention, even without looking at the appearance of the ship, the area alone is enough to accommodate all of them.
Moreover, the fact that it dares to sail on the river at this time means its quality is beyond reproach.
"We've reached the shore." Luo Huai said immediately, "You guys wait here, I'll go ask."
After saying that, he ran away.
The ship is three stories high, and with the cabins, it has four stories in total. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, it floats steadily on the river.
Liang He grew up in the capital, so he naturally has a lot of experience. The owners of this type of boat are all people with status and background.
As expected, Luo Huai came back and shook his head regretfully: "Not for sale."
Zhu Mingqing was not surprised. After all, the owners of such large ships were generally not short of money.
She came out this time just to check out the situation. Maybe the rain would stop in a few days.
Before leaving, she looked back at the magnificent boat in front of her. She could vaguely see a man standing by the window in the room on the top floor with his back to her.
I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but the back looked familiar.
It was unknown how long it took before Tan Guangyi dared to turn around. He suppressed the urge to meet the other person and watched the other person's shadow gradually disappear into the distance.
"Sir, I have already sent the man away." The fat man came in to report.
"What did the boy say?"
“Ask us if we sell boats.”
It's really strange. Mrs. Zhu dares to think of anything.
She was exiled, so how could she have any money?
Tan Guangyi paused with her hands behind her back, and thinking of what the fat old man had said before, her heart sank. Does she really not lack money?
That’s right, the Zhu family is rich and they definitely wouldn’t want her to suffer any injustice.
But it's still a long way to go to buy this ship.
…
Late at night, Zhu Mingqing was thinking about something and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
If only I could buy that boat.
It would be best if she could use it, but if not, she could put it in her space just in case.
But how can I convince the other party? He is not short of money.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside and finally stopped at the door of the room.
Zhu Mingqing's eyes flashed, and he saw a thin bamboo tube inserted into the dark house. Soon after, wisps of white smoke came out.
Drugs!
Zhu Mingqing reacted immediately, then stood up, walked over quietly, and blocked it with his sleeve.
There were bursts of coughing sounds coming from outside, then they became smaller and smaller, and finally there was the sound of someone falling to the ground.
She wanted to see who was so brave.
Doing this right under her nose!
The door opened, and when she saw the person lying on the ground, she couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
Fatty!
Talk about light instrument people!
She walked out of the room quietly, then slowly closed the door, ready to teach the other person a lesson.
"Old Fatty, Old Fatty, tell me, I've already let you go, but you still come to my door and offer yourself to me. If I let you down, it would be my fault!"
As a result, after he raised his foot and kicked hard a few times, the fat on the other person's body trembled.
"Wait a minute!"
It was late at night, in the deserted inn, when a voice came from around the corner.
Zhu Mingqing's expression tightened and he immediately turned around to look.
I saw the other person dressed in black slowly walking out of the darkness, his steps were very light, as if he didn't want to alarm more people.
The other person had a handsome face, with a hint of white hair at the temples, but there was no frown on his face, and he had very few white hairs!
Zhu Mingqing narrowed his eyes slightly, alert in his heart, "Who are you?"
This sentence also successfully stopped the other party.
He was shocked at first, then laughed at himself: "You actually... don't recognize me..."
How ridiculous!
The first thing he asked when he saw the person he had been thinking about for decades was who he was?!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingqing frowned even more tightly. Should she know him?
In fact, it’s not surprising that she knew him. Ever since the original owner married into the palace, she hadn’t met Tan Guangyi again. After more than ten years, the other person’s youthful face had long been blurred.
However, Zhu Mingqing looked at the person under his feet, and then he thought about it and immediately understood.
She recited word by word: "Tan! Guang! Yi!"
"It's me." Hearing her call out his name, Tan Guangyi's expression eased slightly.
Just remember him, and he will never let Qingqing forget him again.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, please leave!"
Zhu Mingqing spoke in a cold voice and looked at the other person distantly.
Tan Guangyi didn't care about her attitude. He knew that he had taken advantage of Qingqing's kindness, but she would definitely make it up to him.
"Qingqing, you were just implicated by Prince Luo's Mansion. Luo Tingshan is already dead. Come with me." He was so focused on persuading her that he didn't notice that the other person's expression was getting colder and colder.
"You shouldn't suffer this. Don't you love appreciating plum blossoms in winter?
When we get to Jiangnan, I will plant a plum forest for you. Then you don’t have to worry about anything, I will take care of everything.”
"Haha." A sarcastic laugh interrupted his soliloquy.
Tan Guangyi then noticed that she was not as happy as he had imagined, and looked puzzled. No, Qingqing didn't treat him like this!
Qingqing said that she would divorce Luo Tingshan.
Then she will follow me wherever I go.
He couldn't help but take a step forward and shouted, "Qingqing..."
