Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 47 Pipi Shrimp

The old Wutou hurried to the place where the emperor's grandson lived temporarily.

The emperor's grandson was having dinner, and the table was full of seafood. After he came to Guangzhou, he became fascinated by the seafood here. Guangzhou is really a good place. The seafood in Guangzhou is even more delicious than that in Beijing.

The servant reported in a low voice, Master Wu begged to see him.

Thinking of the old Wu's limping legs, the Emperor Taisun felt a little disappointed, and asked the servant to call someone in in a cold voice.

"What's the matter?" asked the emperor's grandson.

The old Wu glanced at the seafood on the table, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, chased after Liu Jiang for a day, and didn't even bother to eat lunch, so he had to hold back his hunger and whispered, "Liu Jiang ran away. "

A large crab flew towards him.

"A group of waste, people run away under their noses."

Before coming, the old Wu was well prepared, silent for a moment, and summoned up his courage to say, "After Liu Jiang left the Zhengximen city gate, he went to the west, and his subordinates did not work hard enough to arrest him. .”

"Where is further west?"

"Further to the west, beyond the boundary of Guangdong, is Guangxi." The seafood on the dinner table was so delicious that the old Wu could not hold back his saliva.

There was such a moment of silence in the room, the grandson of the emperor leaned on the back of the chair, thinking about Liu Jiang over and over in his mind.

As long as Liu Jiang is not at sea, it will be easy to handle. When Liu Jiang lands, it is equivalent to crabs landing on the shore. How to catch and when to catch is not up to him. Liu Jiang wants to walk sideways, but it depends on whether people agree .

The emperor's grandson suddenly turned his head and asked the servant, "Where did Guangxi used to be?"

The waiter who was shelling the Pippi shrimp broke out in a cold sweat. His original sympathy for the old Wu disappeared, and he replied, "Guangxi used to be Yunnan and Guizhou, and it was the chieftain's territory."

Toast?

The grandson of the emperor knew that the barbarian lands in Yunnan and Guizhou were full of lofty mountains, and the local chieftains never paid much attention to the imperial court. Since the past dynasties, the imperial court has given Yunnan and Guizhou the status of herding sheep.

A Pippi shrimp hit Old Wu on the head.

The waiter who was peeling the shrimp next to him glanced at Old Wu almost imperceptibly. The shell of Pippi shrimp is extremely hard, as firm as a rock. This smashing is undoubtedly like smashing a big rock.

The emperor's grandson scolded angrily, "Trash!"

From the south of the capital to recruit security, his father once told him in secret that there were already people placed by his father in Guangzhou. The position in the palace is stable.

Thinking of this, the emperor's grandson became even angrier, and the more he looked at the bowed and silent old Wu, he was not pleasing to the eye, "If Mr. Wu is old and weak, he might as well retire early and return home."

What does the emperor's grandson mean by this?The old head Wu felt bitter, "It's all due to the incompetence of the subordinates, please give the subordinates another chance, and definitely bring Liu Jiang back."

The grandson of the emperor looked at the old man, and talked a lot about his interest in eating seafood, "Retire."

"Subordinates retire."

The old Wu head backed out silently.

Back in Liyu Lane, I went to the Widow Wang's place to make a pot of shochu, and drank the wine with the cold steamed buns.

Don't let him catch Liu Jiang, he must be skinned!

Under the oil lamp in Lin's study, the guards ambushing near the farm sent people into the mansion to report that a stranger had entered the farm.

Lin Cheng thought about it, there is no wall around the farm, it is normal for passers-by to come in to ask for directions or ask for a bowl of water.

The guards told Lin Cheng how Liu Jiang went up the mountain and how he left. The emperor's grandson chased Liu Jiang, but no one was caught, and told Lin Cheng what happened.

Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "What is Liu Jiang doing at the farm? Isn't it obvious that there is no silver 300 taels here? If he goes like this, it will be more likely to arouse people's suspicion. His wife and children live in the farm."

If the emperor's grandson can't catch anyone, he will definitely find Liu Jiang's wife and children in the next step.

Lin Cheng looked at Mr. Staff.

Mr. Staff stroked his beard, "We might as well move people to a place."

Lin Cheng shook his head, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Instead of spending a lot of time looking for a place, it is better to send more people to guard the farm. Liu Jiang walked from the west gate, and the emperor's grandson never expected it. Jiang left his wife and children under the west gate."

"Wonderful!" Mr. Staff admired Lin Cheng's courage, "It's just that this move is too dangerous."

However, Lin Cheng felt that no matter how dangerous this move was, it was worth it. As long as he could protect Liu Jiang's wife and children, he would be able to exchange for three years of stability for the residents of Guangdong.

After Mr. Staff left, Lin Cheng walked out of the study and looked up at the full moon in the sky. The bright moonlight shone down, coating the trees in the courtyard with a layer of silver light.

Miss Su Er has become a pawn in his hand, I don't know what Miss Su Er is doing at this time?

Lin Cheng walked aimlessly, and Nan Song followed without saying a word.

Walking to the bamboo forest, Lin Cheng drew out the sword worn by Nan Song and danced in the moonlight.

Nansong, who followed Lin Cheng since childhood, knew Lin Cheng's nature well, and knew that Lin Cheng was in a bad mood today, so he stood aside and did not speak.

After the sword dance, Lin Cheng, who was sweating profusely, called Nansong to come over, and asked him to send another twenty guards with good skills, who pretended to be farmers, and rushed to the farm overnight.

After waking up, Su Yong found that there were a lot of farmers on the farm all of a sudden, so she called Chang Sheng's family to come over and ask.

Chang Sheng's family said with a smile, "The rice will be harvested soon. The housekeeper in the mansion is worried that there will be insufficient manpower, so he sent someone over to harvest the rice."

Rice is mostly grown in paddy fields in Lingnan. The climate in Lingnan is hot, and rice can be ripened for two seasons. After the first season is harvested, the second season must be planted before Lixia. kind.

Su Yue stayed in Sujia Village and saw people in the clan planting rice. It is very important to rush to harvest rice in this season.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Chang Sheng's family was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Su Yue's fair baby-fat face, the white arms exposed under the lake blue sleeves, and Miss Su's white and tender appearance, where can she go to the fields to harvest rice?

"Hey, you're not used to the rough work of harvesting rice. You don't need your help, so you can just stay in the house. It just so happens that I have time to draw up a menu for the past two days, and I want to show it to you."

There are chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and so on, all of which are raised or grown by the farmers on the farm. Su Yue took the menu and went to Sanniang's.

Sanniang was copying scriptures in the room, while Brother Xiao and Sister Shu were squatting by the water tank outside the door and playing with crabs.

The crabs caught yesterday were kept by Su Yue in the water tank, and small stones were placed at the bottom of the water, and the crabs crawled back and forth on the stones.

Ever since he took Brother Xiao to catch crabs, Brother Xiao immediately fell in love with this sister.

Su Yue watched the crabs with the two children for a while, then walked into Sanniang's room.

Sanniang knew that Su Yue was coming, after copying a page, she turned to a new paper, but she still didn't stop writing.

Su Yue was not in a hurry, she stood by the side and looked at it for a long time, then she saw that Sanniang stopped writing before saying, "I don't know what you and the children like to eat, I asked Chang Sheng's family to draw up a menu, Sanniang will have a look , if you have any taboos, let me know." After speaking, he handed the menu to the wooden table.

Sanniang continued to copy her scriptures as if she didn't hear or see.

The scene was a bit embarrassing, every time she came to look for Sanniang, Sanniang always had a cold face, she didn't ask questions and didn't answer, Su Yue bit her lip, turned and left.
