Chapter 272 Raising Money and Hurrying

After Feng Yuan received Qin Dewei's instructions, he returned to Songjiang Mansion that day.A few days later, the Feng family sent someone to pass on the message again, agreeing to meet at the water pier outside the south gate of Yangzhou City on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the coming year.

The Feng family wanted to leave early, and Qin Dewei also understood this feeling. He only hoped that the northern canal would thaw in time this year, so as not to hinder the itinerary.

Then Qin Dewei began to prepare to go north in the atmosphere of approaching the New Year.As a boy who is only 15 years old after the new year, it is impossible for adults to let him go out alone.

Uncle Qin Tutou wanted to find a few servants to serve as long-term followers, but Qin Dewei felt that too many people were useless and cost money, so he only asked Ma Er to follow.

Commander Xu also sent a strong man named Duan Qing over there, who was tall and tall.

He also said that this person is a son of the guard, because he has been to the capital three times on business, he is more familiar with the situation of the capital, and his skills are not bad, so let him follow Qin Dewei and serve as a guard by the way.

Then there was the issue of entanglement, the Xu family sponsored Cheng Yi for 50 taels, and Qin Dewei didn't want any more.Receiving 50 taels is considered a normal human relationship, and any more will change the taste.

A few days before leaving, Qin Dewei went to his uncle's house again, taking advantage of his aunt Jiang's going out to buy new year's goods, and wanted to ask his uncle for some money.

Qin Butou smiled and said, "Why don't you ask Mrs. Gu?"

Qin Dewei was a little distressed, and he was too embarrassed to open his mouth again.

The year before last, my stepfather went to Beijing. Last year, I paid a lot of money to buy the first place in the eight-month exam, and built a jinshi memorial archway for my family. There are also extravagant daily expenses, and the dividends have already been paid in advance.

And it's really embarrassing to always ask Mrs. Gu for money.

But Qin Butou said again: "A while ago, I bought the shares of Yuanfeng bank with all my spare money. How can I have a lot of money for you? You should go to Mrs. Gu for money!"

Qin Dewei said suspiciously: "Uncle, there is something wrong with you! It turned out that you always prevented me from going to Mrs. Gu, and although you didn't stop me, you didn't encourage me either. Why did you allow me to go to Mrs. Gu openly and secretly today?"

Qin Butou said sadly: "Uncle, I was afraid that you would not be able to hold on, but you will be fifteen after the new year, and you will gradually grow up. My Qin family is small, and you have two houses. Sanye put my uncle at ease earlier.

Save that one day I close my eyes, I don't even have to burn paper money during the holidays.I secretly found someone to see the face, and Mrs. Gu is quite good, and she is mature and strong at her age.

As your first wife, you can marry whomever you want, and I don't care how many of them you give birth to are your own father's incense, or you follow your stepfather.But the incense of my uncle and my second wife depends on Mrs. Gu. "

Qin Dewei: "."

Generation gap, this is the generation gap, this is the generation gap spanning 500 years.

He is only 15 years old, and he is still a junior high school student after 500 years. Uncle is thinking about letting himself start to work as a planter?

It's terrible to be a father when you are a teenager. This is a plot that only domestic youth films have.

The reason why he is becoming more and more cowardly towards Mrs. Gu is because Mrs. Gu is a woman from a good family. These days, she still has to be responsible. It is a morally corrupt behavior to hook up with a good family!
The reason why she let go in front of Wang Lianqing was because Wang Meiren was from a lowly background. At first, she thought she was an old driver with a relatively light sense of responsibility, but she didn't expect her to be a virgin.

Qin Tutou was still rambling: "The current emperor has two sects, so what's wrong with us, isn't the incense of our Qin family not incense?"

Qin Dewei: "."

This great gift discussion is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is indeed the hottest topic in the early years of Jiajing.

In the end, Qin Dewei didn't ask for money from his uncle's house, so he came to Mrs. Gu's house on Sanshan Street by some kind of ghost. He always felt that things were not that simple.

Then when Qin Dewei was sitting in the hall waiting, Mrs. Gu didn't show up, she just asked the maid to come out with the money, and said: "Young Lord, go home as soon as possible, don't miss the scenery outside."

Qin Dewei was holding 200 taels of silver in his hand, but he was puzzled.We've known each other for almost three years, why are you still shy?
"And this, Mr. Xiaolang, keep yours." The maidservant of the Gu family handed Qin Dewei another document.

Qin Dewei opened the document in confusion, only to find that it was a marriage contract.The main house and the main wife are called marriage certificates, and other forms are called marriage deeds.

Qin Dewei was taken aback, could it be that Mrs. Gu couldn't stay widowed and wanted to marry?So you deliberately avoided suspicion and refused to come out to see yourself?

Why did you give yourself a copy of the marriage contract?He looked down and saw Mrs. Gu's signature on the marriage contract, but behind it was his name, and there was a handprint on it!
Fuck!Qin Dewei was stunned again, when did he press his fingerprints?
He continued to glance at it, but in the guarantor column, he was horrified to see the name of the official Yao Sili, and then saw his uncle signing the bond on behalf of the elders!

At this time, Qin Dewei couldn't help remembering that when he was eating and drinking at his uncle's house on New Year's Eve, he was forced to drink a few glasses of wine by his uncle, and then fell asleep, and when he woke up, he wondered why his fingers were so red
Qin Dewei wanted to cry, but he didn't want to take responsibility, and he didn't want to be bound by marriage. The 15-year-old single boy was forced by his elders to bear the heavy burden. It's an evil feudal society.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of departure in mid-January. Qin Dewei, with two attendants and two hundred and five silver coins, also left Longjiang Pass like countless predecessors, went down the river, and then went north along the canal from Guazhou.

After meeting up with Feng's family outside the Nanshui Pass in Yangzhou City, Qin Dewei changed to Feng's boat and continued northward.

The Feng family is worthy of being a rich family. Apart from Feng En's mother Wu and Feng En's eldest son Feng Xingke, they also brought four maids, eight healthy servants, and shared five boats.

At this moment, Qin Dewei realized that he was fine without any money, and he could completely rub off on Feng's family all the way.

Speaking of the Grand Canal, it can be called the lifeline of the capital in the north. It transports 4 million stones and grains from the southeast to the capital every year.

If he is not in a hurry to go to the capital, going north along the canal can be a very pleasant journey for Qin Dewei. He will not be lonely and boring when looking for relatives and friends along the way.

In the city of Yangzhou, there is the old residence of the great-grandfather, you can visit it, write a poem or something.

Learn from Li You again, go to the north of the city and preemptively register the name of Slender West Lake, forget about Xiao Qinhuai, you will have to wait another 30 years for this geographical prototype.

It's a pity that I don't have the time to rush on my way.

After leaving Yangzhou City, go north to Gaoyou Wharf. You can disembark and go to Xinghua County in the east to comfort Li Chunfang and Li Dongzhu.

I heard that Dongzhu Li, who has been relying on his cleverness, was severely hit in the exam last year. He actually started looking for famous teachers everywhere, and planned to study hard for ten or eight years before coming out of the mountain.

It's a pity that I don't have the time to rush on my way.

Qin Dewei had no choice but to write a letter to Li Chunfang with a poem attached, and spent money to find someone at Gaoyou Wharf, and asked him to travel dozens of miles to Xinghua County to deliver the letter.

After Dongzhu Li received the letter, he saw this poem: "What I saw in the night book in the boat. The moon was dark and I saw the fishing lamp, and there was a single firefly in the solitary light. The gentle wind made the waves, and the river was full of stars."

good poem!Cave Master Li couldn't help but applaud, as expected of Qin Dewei!Then he thought with great doubts, it's the night of the first lunar month, where are the fishing boats coming from?

Forget it, you won't have friends if you're too witty, and it's rare to be confused in life.

Continue northward from Gaoyou, and you will arrive at Huai'an, an important water transportation hub.Shen Kun, who failed the general examination last year, and Wu Chengen, who failed the rural examination the year before, are both from Huai'an.

It's a pity that I have to rush on the road, and I don't have time to delay eating and drinking, and I will give Wu Chengen some pointers to write Journey to the West.

Qin Dewei still could only write two letters, so he asked two people to deliver the letters on the pier.Attached is the poem, what I saw in the night book in the boat. Repeated submissions save resources.

Fortunately, Daming hadn't entered the Little Ice Cycle at this time, otherwise the north would still be completely frozen.From Huai'an to the north, the boat gradually entered the western part of Shandong.

At this time, the western part of Shandong was also one of the most prosperous places in Daming, because the canal passed along the way, and there were several places where floods and droughts met.

There is also a historical reason why the background of the wonderful book "Golden Pingberry" is set in the west of Shandong. Only places with prosperous economy can produce such rich and indulgent Ximen officials.

Therefore, Jining Prefecture, Liaocheng, Linqing Prefecture, and Dezhou along the canal are considered to be very developed states and counties today.

That's right, Liaocheng, where Zeng's stepfather worked, is also among them, so if he doesn't hurry, Qin Dewei won't be lonely along the way.

Even if the Feng family was in a hurry, it would not hinder Qin Dewei from visiting his parents, so he could only disembark in Liaocheng and delay for a few days.

It happened to be a hard journey, and it would be good for everyone to rest in Liaocheng for a few days. I also heard that Cangzhou has not completely thawed further north, so I will wait for it.

　I'm still scratching my head, trying to write more today
