Seeing that the eldest lady still looked hesitant, Master Zhang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he sneered: "Madame, isn't she still reluctant to give up her daughter's position as the crown princess? I can tell you, if you refuse to obey King Shou's arrangement, then, the matter between you and King Shou will soon be spread, and when the time comes, don't say what the position of the crown princess is, even if it is an ordinary family in the market, see which one dares to marry your daughter!"

The eldest lady was suddenly shocked and stood up: "What did you say!"

Master Zhang said: "What did I say, Madame is so smart, she must know very well. I won't say much else, now there are two roads, as for whether Mrs. wants to take Yangguan Avenue or is willing to cross the single-plank bridge, that is Mrs.'s own choice, I won't say more. ”

The eldest lady stared at Master Zhang fiercely and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Master Zhang smiled: "Madame's words are wrong, I, Zhang, have never been forced." Now I am standing in front of my wife, and I am just giving a word to others. These are the meanings of the person in your heart. In the end, he still hasn't forgotten the love of the year, and he always remembers you. Why did you forget him, madam? Oh, by the way, I also remembered one thing, my master said that he was sorry for Madame for what happened back then, so now he wants to make up for it as much as possible, and as for how to make up for it, my master didn't say, but he said that he wanted to share the wealth with his wife. Maybe, tomorrow, yes, tomorrow, he will personally visit Yuan Ninghou and tell him everything in the past, so that he can retreat from the difficulties, and let the lover finally become a family......"

"Don't say any more. The eldest lady's body trembled. God, she couldn't have imagined. If the entire Hou Mansion knew about the things she had done before, what would they think of her? Not to mention, now in her own belly. And what about a baby from the Yuanning Marquis Mansion?

"I listen to you, and as long as you will let me go, I will listen to you. The eldest lady completely lost her claim and choked up.

"That's for the best. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Master Zhang got up and said goodbye, "Madam, my master also said it." He will never forget his wife, and if she wants to, he will return to him when. He welcomed them all. ”

The eldest lady slumped in her chair. The past is like smoke, can you go back?

When the eldest lady came out, her face was as white as paper, and Cai's mother was startled. Hurriedly beckoned the carriage over. Carefully helped the eldest lady into the carriage, and let the driver drive slower, so that he cautiously returned to the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. Cai's mother was still not at ease, and invited the doctor to enter the house to check the pulse of the eldest lady, and finally learned that there was no major problem, so she was relieved.

The eldest lady lay on the couch for a while, remembered something, and sat up suddenly. Let Qingju take the paper and ink, and write a letter on the small table on the couch. It was handed over to Cai's mother, and she was asked to go out to find someone who delivered an urgent letter, and she must be sent to the border as soon as possible.

Cai's mother didn't dare to delay, so she took the letter and went out. The eldest lady relaxed slightly, lay on the couch and closed her eyes. But when my mind is in a mess, where can I sleep?

Gu Zhirong's trip to Jiangzhou was purely a trip, so there was no special itinerary to rush, and when he encountered a place with good scenery, he stayed for two more days to buy some local gadgets, and when he encountered nothing to see, he asked the helmsman to sail the boat faster. Even so, after two days of stop-and-go like this, I actually walked about half of the trip.

Seeing Gu Zhirong's slightly stunned look, the honest boat lady said with a smile: "Miss rarely goes far away? To say that from the capital to Jiangzhou, from the waterway is much faster than taking the official road. We can take shortcuts, and there are not so many restrictions and checkpoints to drive on the water, and if it is smooth, it will be more than half the road distance. ”

Gu Zhirong looked out the window and asked casually, "Why didn't you see a cargo ship on this river?"

The boatlady smiled and said: "The girl is right, this distance is narrow, and it is impossible to carry large cargo ships, so as early as a few decades ago, this waterway was not open to cargo ships, and cargo ships generally had to take a detour, which is about three times the journey." ”

Gu Zhirong's heart moved.

Although she had already studied the places she had passed through on this voyage, and knew that she would not be able to miss things even if she stopped and stopped all the way, she was more relieved after listening to the words of this boat lady.

If it goes well, she will be able to arrive in Jiangzhou in two days, and by then, the big cargo ship that has departed nearly ten days earlier than her should also arrive, right?

Of course, she came here for other purposes than to be nervous about the goods she was consigning.

After sending the boat lady down, she went up to the boat building and leaned on the couch to read. On the plum table not far from her, a plum vase was placed and a few blooming osmanthus flowers were inserted.

These days stop and go, it is late autumn, the osmanthus trees become forests along the way, and the osmanthus flowers that bloom all over the tree have a strong fragrance. Mingyue knows that Gu Zhirong likes to raise flowers with water the most, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, he always likes to insert so many flowers and plants in his house, and Meilan chrysanthemum bamboo likes them. Now seeing that the osmanthus flowers are blooming so well, the bright moon is also interested, and every time it docks, it goes ashore to fold the osmanthus flowers, and puts them in various places on the boat, so that the whole boat is overflowing with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Gu Zhirong also likes it, so he doesn't care about her and goes with her temperament.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound on the deck outside, Gu Zhirong didn't raise his head, and asked, "Mingyue, is something happening outside?"

Mingyue was also in the house, and when she saw her young lady asking like this, she hurriedly went outside to take a look. After a while, he turned back and said, "Miss, it's nothing, it's just a cat raised by the boat lady, who is greedy for fun, and broke a porcelain basin in the kitchen, and the boat girl is scolding it." ”

Gu Zhirong couldn't help but be a cat, what is there to worry about?

After a while, the boatlady came up and said that the meal was ready and it was time to eat. Gu Zhirong asked Mingyue to summon Lushui Snow Goose and others to eat at the same table.

If they were in the Hou Mansion, these maids would not dare to eat at the same table with their masters. Now that they have left the capital, there are no so many rules, and their own young lady looks like they "have to do it", so they are reluctant to sit around.

After lunch, Gu Zhirong took Mu Jin to the deck for a walk to eliminate food. While the boat was moving, the river wind was very strong, blowing the clothes flying, Gu Zhirong was about to go back to the houseboat, and suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a person standing on the deck not far away.

This person was dressed as a helmsman, but his back looked a little familiar, Gu Zhirong was puzzled, and was about to ask out loud, but the person had already turned around.

The face was a little unfamiliar, in fact, the helmsman on this ship or something, Gu Zhirong hadn't taken a few face-to-face photos, and he was just vaguely impressed.

Merely......

Maybe it's my own delusion, after all, these people are all arranged by Uncle Wang, and they are all trustworthy people, and I believe that nothing will happen.

When the man saw Gu Zhirong, he saluted from a distance, and then returned to the cabin.

Gu Zhirong looked at the man's back for a while.

Mu Jin was puzzled: "Miss, is there something wrong?"

Gu Zhirong smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that the wind is too strong and it blows a little headache, let's go back to the houseboat." (To be continued......)
