Chapter 507: Sweetwater Pier

Mrs. Chengping Hou was too lazy to say more to her son, waved her hand and sent him away, and after he respectfully bowed and retired, she said to the waiting grandmother with a tired face, "Look at it, this is not long-hearted." ”

"Madam, it's not that you don't know, the prince ...... in his heart, "Still pretending to be Princess Ji!" is married, or I still miss Princess Ji, Princess Ji's goblin has already become married, and she is still hooking the prince, King Ji is romantic, as long as she carries a woman to the house, Princess Ji will find her cousin to cry and complain about her grievances, it's really Oh!

Princess Ji is not a brother without relatives, what grievances are there, it is only right for her brothers to help her, but the talented princess who is knowledgeable and reasonable, but she is looking for their family to cry and complain about her grievances, and makes the prince think that her mother's brother is unwilling to stand up for her, and every time she sees her cousins, she always never gives anyone a good face.

Mrs. Chengping Hou said angrily, "I know, he resents me in his heart, and complains that I didn't marry Zihe, but is that my disagreement? Is it that his uncle looks down on our family! Compared with King Ji, we are just Hou Mansion, King Ji, who is expected to win the throne! As his princess, she is likely to become the queen of the middle palace in the future, compared with her, how can the little Mrs. Chengping Hou Shizi be able to get into the eyes of her good sister-in-law and good niece."

But can she tell her son that people look down on him, so they reject her proposal?

When she left Nangong House, Nangong Zihe came to see her off with red eyes, crying to her that it was not because she didn't want to marry her cousin, but because her father's fate was hard to disobey!

I can't complain that my son is still dead set on her, but when I think about it, I can't help but feel depressed.

"Madam, you want to open some, after this pass, please ask the Hou Ye to talk to the prince well. ”

"That's the only way!" Mrs. Chengping sighed heavily, while thinking in her heart, how to tell her husband, let him enlighten his son well, if King Ji really sits in that position, then he will definitely not be happy to see his wife and cousin get too close, if this provokes King Ji to dislike, then their life in the Hou Mansion will be sad!

Seeing that the master was calm, Mama beckoned the maid to fetch water, waited for Mrs. Chengping Hou to clean her face and re-dress, and waited for the maid to go out with the basin to pour water, she said, "Actually, with the prince here, King Ji's chances of winning are not great." ”

"Be cautious. Mrs. Chengping Hou turned her head and scolded lightly.

Mama didn't stop talking, and continued, "Madam, can't you see through it? King Ji is just a straw bag, and the emperor's eyes can see it better than us, and even if the prince is not good, there are still the six princes of Yan Guifei." ”

The sixth prince is smart and benevolent, his mother Yan Guifei has been a saint since she entered the palace, and there is a sister who is favored by the emperor, the thirteenth princess, who is definitely much stronger than King Ji.

"I don't care who their brothers will sit on the dragon chair in the future, I just want the Hou Mansion to be safe. Mrs. Chengping sighed.

Mama rubbed her shoulders for her, "This level in front of you is very important, madam, you have to hold on!"

"What's the use of me holding on?" Mrs. Chengping smiled bitterly, thinking of her daughter who had just passed away, and the only blood she left in the world, "It will only be done if the Hou Ye and the prince and their sons hold on." Thinking that the reason why her daughter married far away was because her good niece went to talk to Hou Ye's father and son, "It's all her, if she hadn't pulled the strings, how could Hou Ye marry Sister Xin to the Northern Jin Dynasty." ”

Originally, she had already looked at the object for her daughter, but in the end, the children's family affairs still had to be the father's nod, and before she could tell her husband, he had already agreed to the family business.

"My poor core. Thinking of her daughter and grandson, Mrs. Chengping Hou couldn't help but feel sad, Mama hurriedly handed the towel to the master, and then looked up at Chengchen on the roof, rolled her eyes in her heart, and said in her heart, Madam! Don't cry, if you can't pass this pass safely, there will be times when you cry.

The cry startled the Geng Protector who was resting on the bed, and the guard armor who was waiting in the cabin was also frightened.

"What's wrong? what's wrong?" the guard hurriedly opened the door and was about to rush out.

"Come back. Behind him, Geng Protector shouted coldly. "I don't know what's going on outside, you rush out in such a hurry, don't you just fall into a trap. ”

The guard retracted his left leg that had stepped out of the door, half-closed the door, and carefully looked out, there was a walkway outside the cabin, and he hid in the door and looked out, but he couldn't see anything.

"There's no one out there. The guard turned his head to Geng Protector and said, and then turned his head and listened attentively, the cry was from men and women, old and young, and occasionally mixed with words like my son!

Is this someone dead? Alas! What a bad luck.

Geng Protector has been made lose his temper by this dumb armor.

"Shall you go and see what the others are doing?"

The guard armor made Ling smile with joy, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll be back in a while." ”

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, slammed the door and left.

Geng Protector sighed, he really can't ask for too much, they are not waiting for people, and it is natural for them to be clumsy in doing things.

He was penniless and was taken captive to Zhao State, and the guards rushed to rescue him, although he brought a silver ticket with him, but after chasing this way, it was probably sold out, so as soon as he was rescued, he repaired the book and returned to Dongqi, and ordered his son to send someone to send him money, I wonder if he would send the little servants and stewards who were waiting around him also over?

Probably not.

He has five sons and one daughter, and his daughter is the most intimate, but his daughter has already left the cabinet and is an official outside with her husband, and his wife is a weak woman who can only cry in case of trouble, but the eldest daughter-in-law has some courage, but unfortunately she lacks knowledge.

He is strong in martial arts, but none of his children and grandchildren can inherit his mantle, thinking of his weak children and grandchildren, Geng Protector can't help but feel a little blocked.

Hearing that the female apprentice of the Great Sect Master was talented and intelligent, and was a good seedling for martial arts, he thought with some envy that if it was possible, it seemed to be a good idea to abduct the Sect Master to be his granddaughter-in-law! Well, with such a daughter-in-law, I think that the great-grandson will definitely be able to inherit his mantle.

However, the Great Sect Master protected the Sect Master tightly, and no one he sent could get close to her.

He heard the head of the guard say that it was rumored that the Great Sect Master had taken the sect leader back to Southern Chu, but he didn't know if he had already passed through the Zhao State or had not passed yet.

He would never have imagined that the squeamish eldest lady in the cabin upstairs was Li Qianqian, who he wanted to abduct to be his granddaughter-in-law.

Before Chunshou could cry, he had already come back from outside to inquire about the news.

"Miss, the son who was going to Dongqi for medical treatment is dead!" Chunshou's face was a little unpleasant.

Li Qianqian saw that her face was wrong, so he hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Chunjiang poured a glass of water for Chunshou, what about the food box, take a candy for her." ”

Chunjiang moved quickly, poured tea with one hand and turned over the food box with the other, the tea was poured, and the sugar was also taken, "Give." ”

Chunshou took the sugar and put it in his mouth, took a sip of hot tea, and after relieving his breath, he said, "That Gongzi Xie is dead." ”

"How did you die?" didn't the doctor say that it would last for more than half a year?" asked Chunjiang puzzled.

"He didn't die of disease, he was killed. Chunshou looked up, his face was still a little pale.

"Who was killed?" Li Qianqian was also curious.

That Xie Gongzi traveled, full of great son-in-law, there were more than 20 maids waiting alone, all of them were delicate and moving, and there were countless other servants, maids and stewards, and most of the cabins on this floor where Li Qianqian lived were chartered by his family.

It's amazing that there are people around you all the time, and you can still be killed like this?

"Who killed it?"

Chunshou shook his head, "I don't know yet, but I heard that when he died, there were seven or eight maids waiting around him, but they were all asleep, and I don't know how they waited for their master." ”

"Who found out that Gongzi Xie is dead?"

It seems that he is a big girl, I heard that she intends to make a room for Gongzi Xie, but Grandma Xie does not agree, so along the way, she is always guarding against her and not letting her get close to Gongzi Xie, so she wants to climb into bed when she has the opportunity. ”

After saying that, I realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing again.

Li Qianqian thought of the thin boy he had met on the deck before, sick and skinny, and he could still get through the room?

"Looks like we won't be able to get off the boat for a while. Li Qianqian sighed with his cheeks in his hands.

"That's none of our business, why don't you let you get off the boat?"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, it's not us who have the final say, it's the government that has the final say. Li Qianqian looked up at Chunjiang Road listlessly.

"I'll go and talk to Cheng Qian and ask him to inform Liu Er and the Great Sect Master. Chunshou said that he was going to go out.

"Don't. Li Qianqian hurriedly stopped her, "There is a death on the ship, if it is the end of life, it will be enough! But the death is unexpected, and the murderer has not yet been caught! If you rush to send the letter, I am afraid that it will attract people's attention and then suspect us, don't forget, we are using a fake identity." ”

Chunshou realized, "Then I'll go and talk to Cheng Qian." ”

"Well, let's go!" Li Qianqian sent her out with a shallow smile, Chunjiang saw that Chunshou had returned to normal, and couldn't help but secretly admire the other party's ability to recover.

"Chunshou will be fine when he goes to find Cheng Qian, right?"

"What can it be? I'm a big lady who picks bones in eggs, she's my maid, it's normal to find our little girl to buy what I want!"

Chunjiang nodded, and was about to speak, when Mother Ye happened to come in, and the first thing she said as soon as she entered the door was, "You can hear, Gongzi Xie is dead." ”

"I just heard Chunshou say that he was killed. ”

"Yes! Alas! What a sin! Knowing that he was going to die, he was still restless and would raise himself, and he was making nonsense all day long. ”

Mother Ye said very implicitly, but she thought that her family leader should be able to understand.

"I heard that the last time I docked at the dock, the Xie family sent away a group of girls, and welcomed a new batch of new ones?" Li Qian's shallow dark eyes looked directly at Mother Ye, Mother Ye said in her heart, the sect leader really understands, but also, they are almost over, and they are being pulled around outside by the big sect leader, how can they not understand.

"Yes. Grandma Xie couldn't control it, only guarded the two children, and let her husband mess around. ”

The last time I docked at the dock, in addition to welcoming a group of girls, there were actually Mrs. Xie and the old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then from time to time I heard these two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law scolding Grandma Xie, the content was nothing more than blaming her for not being able to control her husband and letting him be frivolous, which would cause him to be seriously ill and bedridden at a young age.

turned around and asked Gongzi Xie to ask for it, and asked her to say that it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who really indulged Gongzi Xie and caused his condition to worsen.

However, when it was said that she was killed, how did the big girl tell at a glance that she was killed?

Mother Ye's news is obviously more comprehensive than Chunshou's, "I was stabbed in the chest, and the knife was left on my body, and I didn't blink my eyes!"

"You see?"

"No, it was the grandmother of the Xie family who said it, Amitabha! That grandmother heard that I would make medicinal food, so she said that she wanted to worship me as a teacher, how can I be so capable of accepting apprentices, so I told her, we have time to learn from each other, so she often comes to me, just now she came, probably frightened, first incoherent words are upside down, I listened for a long time to understand. ”

Li Qianqian patted her on the back and asked Chunjiang to pour tea for Mother Ye. "Take a sip of tea to calm down, that grandma is still in your room?"

"No, I'll send her back, the captain sent someone to guard the Xie family, we may be a little inconvenient. ”

Because on the same floor, if something happens on the Xie family's side, there will naturally be someone to take care of them on their side.

"There are so many people around Gongzi Xie at any time, and they have guards guarding the passage, it is difficult for outsiders to approach Gongzi Xie and not be known, so this case was done by their Xie family, but before the government took over, it was natural that the captain did not dare to take it lightly. ”

Mother Ye bowed her head, and her originally slightly cool fingertips caressed the warm teacup and slowly warmed up, "But before this matter is over, I'm afraid this passenger ship will not set sail again." ”

"Hmm. Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, so my mother will take Chunjiang and the two of them to be female celebrities! This cabin is big enough, so why don't all three of you move in!"

"This, okay?" Mother Ye knows the habits of the sect leader, she doesn't like people to follow closely, if they all move in, I'm afraid that within two days, the sect leader won't be able to stand it first.

Li Qianqian saw her doubts, "It's okay, this case will be closed soon, and those two adults will soon solve the case." ”

"Those two adults, do you mean Huang Shilang and Wang Shaoqing?"

"Yes! The case of the prince of Qingguo is not easy to solve, and they just use this case to establish their authority. "It's also good to deter those who plotted to kill the prince of Qingguo.

The ship soon arrived at the next wharf, this wharf is called Sweet Water Wharf, because it is located in the town of Sweet Water, there is a very special well, the well water produced is as sweet as honey, this town is named after this, many dignitaries and nobles in Beijing will send people to this town to draw water back to drink, and transport it by horse-drawn carriage, but often because of the long distance, and the road surface is bumpy and capsized, and then some people think of using the boat to transport, so they built a wharf here.

The passenger ship had just docked, and the two Qincha lords were already waiting on the dock, waiting for them to meet Mrs. Xie Jiatai and Mrs. Xie of the bitter master, and the people on the passenger ship knew that Gongzi Xie was the third son of the Marquis of Xingguo, Mrs. Xie was the stepfamily, and Gongzi Xie was her only son.

Chunshou said while being a female celebrity, "No wonder Gongzi Xie died, she cried so sadly! By the way! I heard that before the Marquis of Xingguo, he intended to abolish the son of the original match and set him up as the son, but before he could play, Gongzi Xie fell ill, and the matter was over." ”
