Ji Qingcheng was also glad that it was the cautious Xiu Wang Sun who came back this time, not the children of other incompetent clans.

Wang Shiqiang was at the bow of the boat, looking at the shadow of the ship sailing in the dark, and staring at her sideways.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you blow a whistle. This is still the ...... I taught you."

He couldn't help but say nothing.

He was just like her, blowing a very similar whistle at the shadow of the ship.

As soon as the whistle fell, I heard Ji Qingchen's footsteps on the boat, and it was Zuo Cheng who ran out of the bow.

He craned his neck and looked this way.

Wang Shiqiang didn't make a sound, but still smiled and talked to Ji Qingchen, and said:

"I saw Saburo's boat on the river when I came."

Ji Qingchen nodded, and whispered her plan to sneak into Chengdu Mansion to check the situation.

"Saburo is going to pick me up."

"When you arrive in Xingyuan County, if you still plan to enter Chengdu Mansion, let me know."

Wang Shiqiang did not surprise her plan, but felt relieved.

After all, he is an outsider in Chengdu Mansion and needs a helper.

The boat was approaching, Zuo Cheng saw him, and was so excited that he cried with joy, and said:

"Master, you're fine! The family is in a hurry—"

Wang Shiqiang knew that he had an accident at home, so he nodded and said:

"You've worked hard. It's inconvenient for you to follow over there, you follow Ji Niangzi. ”

"Yes, sir."

Zuo Cheng hurriedly delivered the secret letter to him, and said vaguely in front of Ji Qingchen:

"It's a letter from the chief steward and aunt."

When Ji Qingchen heard the word "aunt", he thought that the letter must have written about the death of his concubine.

She didn't care. After reading that Wang Shiqiang received the letter, he went ashore and rode away at a gallop.

She avoided Zuo Cheng and immediately ordered Ji Mo. Road:

"I revealed to him that San Lang and them had advanced to Chengdu Mansion, and you immediately sent a letter to San Lang and asked them to change the location of the boat. Then see if there are people from the Wu family to search for them. ”

If there is a search by the Wu family, Wang Shiqiang cannot be trusted.

The wedding fleet moved slowly, and after ten days, Ji Chenhu kept reporting that he was safe.

That's when she figured she could try to speed things up.

Then she contacted Guan Kee Warehouse to find out if the Wu family had begun to step up lobbying for the toasts.

"I sue Wang Shiqiang. The Kwan Kee Warehouse can pick him up and escape. This means that the toasts are biased towards the Great Song Dynasty. The Wu family did not dare to kill Tusi at this time. If he takes refuge in the Wu family, he should let the Wu family lobby more closely. ”

Xiu Wang Sun knew about her layers of temptation, and expressed satisfaction with the result of the Wu family's complete lack of reaction.

The flotilla accelerated its advance. He sighed in front of her, and praised:

"The king's sacrificial wine is indeed a virtuous and loyal servant."

Wang Shiqiang is considered virtuous?

Ji Qingchen instinctively wanted to refute, thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

At all costs. People are desperately hoping to have something to do. hopes to be a high-ranking official, and he also seeks benevolence.

As for the life in his own house, as long as Lou Luanpei is satisfied.

That day, she went to his house to visit Lou Luanpei, but she didn't notice that there was a lot of trouble in his inner house.

One or two girls looked at her as a guest, and the face was not right......

……

Wang Shiqiang followed Wu Bai to stop at the Jialing River wharf and greet the imperial court's wedding ship in the post house.

Although it is a secret letter mixed with simplified and traditional Chinese, and mixed with big food characters, he has already finished reading the content of the letter written by Zuo Ping.

The death of his eldest son kept him awake for half the night.

To say that he does not doubt Lou Luanpei. That's fake.

But his mind told him that Lou Luanpei would not do such a thing when he was not at home.

He hadn't been in her room for years. The Qian family is actually her confidant, and it is more beneficial for her to keep this eldest son.

And the old things of Lou Yun and Lou Luanpei were unexpected by him, but they were also expected.

The biggest change from this incident to him was that after reading the letter repeatedly, he lay on the bed in the morning light.

He slept peacefully for a long night's sleep.

After entering Chengdu Mansion, he hadn't slept well for too long.

In his dream, although he didn't see Ji Qingchen, he once again stood on the coastline of the East China Sea in Tangfang.

The waves crashed against his feet.

The long-term cronies who followed Wang Shiqiang were called Wang Xin, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Although he was waiting for the wedding ship, the old man was sleeping in the enemy camp in broad daylight, and he was too calm.

When the wedding boat arrived at the Jialing Post House, Zuo Cheng, who knew the inside story, couldn't help but secretly muttered the same thing to Wang Xin.

In this inn, the old man actually went to bed after dark like the little people, and he didn't get up before dawn.

Master, he hasn't slept well in the first half of his life, do you want to make up for it in the next few days?

Stimulated too deeply?

Wang Shiqiang ignored the uneasy questions of his entourage.

He sleeps a lot and does a lot of things.

He first came forward to arrange for the fleet to live in the post house, and then secretly discussed with Ji Qingchen, and arranged six large river boats as guest accommodation on the grounds that the post house was insufficient.

In addition to the relocation of the servants, the lady of Wen'an Sanyin County also moved out of the post house and lived on the river boat on the grounds of illness.

Because of Xiu Wangsun's cover, even Zhao Deyuan thought that Ji Qingchen had gone to the shore to prepare for entering Chengdu Mansion.

Ji Qingchen had met Ji Chenhu's men on the boat and knew that they had arrived in Xingyuan County.

She had also seen the manager of Guan Kee Inn, who had sneaked out of Chengdu Mansion, and knew that he could arrange her retreat in case of crisis.

At the end of November, although the Yangtze River did not freeze, the current was much shallower.

"Mistaken! Now is not the time to get your hands dirty. ”

Wang Shiqiang frowned deeply, and walked around the cabin with a calm face.

The steward of Guan Kee Warehouse also nodded and said:

"When I went out of the city, I also watched the winter solstice festival prepared by the Wu family this time. It's a good time, but it's too late. They usually do not go out of the military yamen, but only go to the suburbs to worship during festivals. ”

Wang Shiqiang stopped and sighed, and said:

"We have to do it, we can only wait for the next suburban festival on the first day of the Spring Yuan Festival. Normally, the city is heavily guarded, and the defenders are all his direct cronies, and they are too difficult to be convinced. ”

Ji Qingchen didn't know the specific situation in Chengdu Mansion, she just said:

"Slow down doesn't get an accident. It is impossible to rush the marriage of the county lord. In this way, the river will be shallower after a month, and it is not convenient for the Wu family ships to attack from the south of the Jialing River. If I were the Wu family, I wouldn't openly rebel at this time. ”

After agreeing to talk about it after the New Year, Ji Qingchen said that she would talk to King Xiu Sun and let the county lord of Duanhe drag it out for a month in the post house under the pretext of not adapting to the water and soil.

The steward of the Guan Kee Warehouse disembarked and returned to the city.

Wang Shiqiang was on the boat but did not leave.

He sat on the bench, muttering unthinking, and did not speak for a long time.

"You don't have to worry about the toasts."

Ji Qingchen is still wearing a long skirt with a crown, and the brocade sleeves and collars are all hairy Sichuan embroidery patterns, which set off her little goose egg face with crystal clear and beautiful eyebrows.

She sat on the other side, also thinking.

The reason why she lived outside the post house was to facilitate contact with people outside.

In addition, she secretly got off the boat in the past few days, went to Chengdu Mansion for a trip, and looked at the general ledger of Guan Ji.

In addition to lamenting that Lou Luanpei had eaten tea in Guan Jibai for more than ten years, Guan He also took her to see Guan Suo in Tusi Mansion.

"They are still complaining to me about the high price of tea in Jiangxi, and discussing how to transport tea from Fujian tea farms. What can the Golden Man give them? ”

“……”

Wang Shiqiang nodded and raised his eyes to look at her.

Ji Qingchen was stunned in his heart, his eyes were a little strange. (To be continued......)
