Chapter 396
Wang Yanqing listened, her face reddened quietly. Fortunately, no one paid attention to her, she quickly shifted her attention, and finally dissipated the heat on her face.
Langzhong said something to pay attention to recuperation, and then said: "The Governor is young and in good health. I will prescribe a medicine to the Governor, and take two meals in the morning and evening to recuperate. It will definitely return to normal and will not leave the root of the disease in the future."
Lu Heng nodded and said, "Then there is work."
Lang Zhong was taken away to prescribe medicine. Lu Heng got up and walked out. The people were all around him. The prefect of Suzhou said in a hurry: "Captain, Yu Xiao led someone to rescue you in the middle of the night last night, and you can be considered to have saved your boat. It's a pity that the bottom of the boat leaked and the cabin was burned very badly. Seriously. I have asked the most skilled craftsmen in Suzhou to repair the boat for you, and I guarantee that it will be repaired in good condition. However, repairing the boat will take some time, and it may take the Governor to wait two more days in Suzhou Mansion. "
Lu Heng smiled and said: "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I have heard the good name of Suzhou for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had time to visit. Now I can live in Suzhou for a few more days, I can't ask for it, what's the trouble?"
The Suzhou prefect was relieved when he heard it, and smiled and said, "It is a blessing for the governor to see Suzhou. The governor will arrange the itinerary for the governor, so that the governor will have a good time."
Lu Heng responded with a smile, unable to see his true feelings: "There is a labor prefect."
After a good deal of flattery, the prefect of Suzhou said embarrassedly: "It's just that everything on the ship was burnt down. It's easy to say that the most important thing in Suzhou is Jinxiu, and the lower officials are buying new ones for the governor. I'm afraid the governor brought some books with him. , letter, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Heng said, "I followed the emperor's order to set off, and the special order can be executed first and then played, no certificate required. The only important thing is the boxes of weapons on the ship. Fortunately, I was seriously ill, so I had people swap things out in advance. Unexpectedly, he was hit right and just avoided the fire."
The prefect of Suzhou was stunned for a while, and then smiled flatteringly: "The governor is really a clever plan, plan ahead, and the lower officials admire, admire!"
Lu Heng took the Suzhou prefect to the fence and motioned him to look at the back yard: "Did you see those mahogany boxes? Inside are the weapons of 2,000 people, including fire guns, gunpowder, and steel knives, and none of the boxes were damaged. I There are identical mahogany boxes on the boat, but they are full of stones, so it doesn't matter. There was a fire last night, I don't know if these boxes are okay?"
The prefect of Suzhou said with a smile: "When the officers and soldiers put out the fire, they didn't find any boxes. There is a leak under your boat. Maybe, those things sank into the water."
Lu Heng responded and said regretfully, "It's a pity, the good mahogany box."
The commander of the capital came to Suzhou in person, and the prefect of Suzhou warmly invited him to hold a banquet for Lu Heng to wash away the dust. But Lu Heng was injured and could not drink alcohol, so the prefect arranged the banquet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
The Suzhou prefect originally wanted to invite Lu Heng to the most luxurious restaurant by the river to have a panoramic view of Suzhou, but Lu Heng said that the weapons and felons were still in the inn and could not leave, so the final banquet venue was set at the inn where Lu Heng stayed.
The inn is very large in scale. It integrates an inn and a restaurant. The third and fourth floors are for guests to live in. The second floor is a private room, and the ground floor is the lobby. It is not a problem to accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
Coinciding with the Qixi Festival, there are young men and women around the river setting river lanterns, fire trees and silver flowers, and star lanterns swaying, which is very beautiful. The lobby on the first floor of the inn was full of guests. Jin Yiwei and officials brought by the prefect were drinking at the same table. The noise almost overturned the roof, making it very lively.
The singer hugged the pipa, sat on the high platform and sang a melodious Wu language ditty, ran the hall, and the maids quickly walked between the desks. On the second floor, there were officials with extraordinary bearing scattered and chatting. Going upstairs, it was the Yun temple and the phoenix hairpin, dressed in bright clothes. Ladies and daughters. The lantern illuminated the attic as bright as day, with a state of singing and dancing, and a state of being drunk and dreaming of death.
The prefect's wife shook the silk fan and fanned it in front of her nose in disgust: "It's really annoying."
Wang Yanqing was sitting in the center of the women's family. She heard the words of the prefect's wife and asked, "Does the madam think it's too noisy?"
The prefect's wife hurriedly put on a pleasing smile and said, "How come. It's rare to be so lively. If it wasn't for the blessing of the governor's wife, I wouldn't have seen such a scene. It's just that many brothels are out today, and the air is floating in the air. It smells of inferior fragrant powder, which makes me uncomfortable."
When Mrs. Tongjian heard it, she said, "Mrs. Prefect is very expensive and has a thin nose, so she's prone to allergies to flowers and plants. People with thick branches and large leaves like us can't tell the smell of fragrant powder."
The officials and female relatives let out a knowing smile together. Wang Yanqing's lips curled, but there was not much smile.
She swept around and said, "Where are the daughters of the prefect's wife? The governor is busy all day, and I don't know anyone in Suzhou. If I want to talk to someone, I have nowhere to go."
Upon hearing this, the prefect's wife hurriedly explained: "They are rude and lazy, and I keep them at home to learn the rules. After the concubine has taught them well, I will bring them to the governor's wife to greet them."
Wang Yanqing nodded: "So it is. The prefect's wife never forgets the rules of her daughters during the Qixi Festival. It really is everyone's style."
The prefect’s wife repeatedly refused, and when the female relatives talked about their children, they inevitably asked Wang Yanqing, the newlywed lady: “The Governor’s wife has been married for a year and a half, is there any news?”
Lu Heng was separated from his mother and brother. Except for the holidays, Wang Yanqing didn't have to fight with his in-laws, and no one in the capital dared to care about Lu Heng's business. Unexpectedly, the first time she was induced to give birth to a child, it turned out to be a group of Suzhou officials who did not know each other.
