The fleet of the Xie family quickly followed the fleet of Yan Wangfu and went offshore, seeing that they couldn't catch up.

Before Cao Shuqing got out of the carriage, she watched her pair of children walk away, she didn't even have time to say goodbye, I really don't know what the two children will think. When they meet again next time, will they be more cold and rusty than when they came to Beijing this time? Will you be more unable to listen to her kind persuasion than when we met this time?!

Cao Shuqing slammed the curtain in annoyance, and sat back in her seat and sulked.

Gui Zhen looked through the car window and watched the three most gorgeous and largest ships led by the Xie family go far from the shore, before lowering the curtain and turning back cautiously to the hostess: "It's a pity, it's just a little bit off...... How did the people of Yanwangfu go so fast? The nobles who saw off them on the dock have not yet dispersed. ”

Cao Shuqing said angrily: "What's so surprising about this?!" The eldest princess is driving here, and there are many clan princes, naturally they go first, and others can only lag behind, where is it so easy to disperse?! I only hate Fang Wenshan, but he entered Beijing today! If I hadn't been blocked by him, I would have been on the dock a long time ago, so how could I miss the opportunity to say goodbye to my two children?! ”

Gui Zhen shrunk her neck and didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, they had already said that they would come to see off Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui. Whether it is out of Cao Shuqing's personal feelings, or the purpose of Cheng Enhou's family's intention to find out the news through the Xie family, this trip is indispensable. Cao Shuqing was not happy to see the rest of the Xie family, and the Chengenhou family also wanted to urge her to come, and it was impossible for her to give up the line of Xie Xian's brothers and sisters. But she was first worried that King Yan had refused to marry her, and she was afraid that she would be ridiculed if she met other dignitaries, so she dragged on until it was too early, so she rushed over.

Originally, Cao Shuqing wanted to avoid others and say some affectionate words to the two children alone, so as to coax them to change their minds and no longer resent her as a mother, but who knew that this abacus did not start after all. She met her current husband Fang Wenshan on the way here, and she didn't know if the other party recognized the mark of her carriage, anyway, she saw the person who was opening the road at his house from a distance, so she immediately ordered someone to avoid it.

This avoidance delayed the effort. By the time she arrived at the docks, the boats had already left the shore.

Cao Shuqing didn't expect to meet Shangwenshan in the capital, but now that he looks back, he has been out for three years, and it is almost time to return to Beijing to report on his work and wait for the next appointment by the way. The term of office of military attachés in the north is usually indefinite, especially those who guard the border, some have been stationed in one place for more than ten or twenty years, some have changed places every two or three years, and some have changed three or four places in two years, and have also been promoted three or four times! She used to think that Fang Wenshan would stay in Shaanxi for a long time, and the emperor was far away, so she didn't have to endure the gossip in the capital. But now that I think about it, how could he be willing to suffer in the local area for the rest of his life? In the past, it was possible that he was willing to give up high-ranking officials for her, but now that they are husband and wife, he naturally will not have such thoughts anymore.

What's more, his popularity in Shaanxi is not very good now, and his life is not going well, so it is natural for him to want to change to a better position.

But even if he wants to enter Beijing, why did he choose today?!

Cao Shuqing was worried that she might have a war of words with Fang Wenshan in Beijing in the future, and she was even more worried that her brother and sister-in-law and the eldest sister of the queen in the palace would be even more impatient with her because of this. Her current situation is difficult enough, and the matter of separation has not yet been seen, why did Fang Wenshan enter Beijing at this time to cause trouble for her?!

Cao Shuqing was still worried about the husband she had just met, Gui Zhen saw that she seemed to have lost her mind, so she had to whisper back her attention and remind her of one thing: "Madam, you didn't see the eldest young master and eldest lady in time, and you didn't send out the people that the nephew and young master told you to send out, and when you return to the house, how can you explain to the young nephew?" ”

Cao Shuqing was stunned, and then frowned: "There is a boat near the dock, right?" Just hire a boat and send people and luggage over. It's just that the two children are still annoyed with me now, and it's still unknown whether they are willing to accept it. Originally, if I had seen them and said a few kind words, maybe they would have changed their minds and would be willing to accept the kindness of my mother, and a few subordinates would be nothing. But now......" she sighed, "Wentai is really, since he intends to install people, why didn't he speak earlier?" It's just going to be given away, what's the use?! ”

Gui Zhen whispered: "It's no wonder that this is the nephew and young master. Before that, the Xie family couldn't get on the stage at all. If it weren't for the eldest young master and eldest lady, the wife would not have paid attention to his family. But who can know that there has been a new change in the Yanwang Mansion? The promised heir was gone, but King Yan took away a concubine from the General Mansion of Zhuguo, and the emperor and the queen mother not only did not blame, but also gave a lot of things. The queen wanted to know what was going on, but she couldn't find out. The affairs of the Yan Wangfu are not easy to listen to, so the nephew and young master can only find a way from the Xie family. Even if this thing is abrupt, the Hou Mansion must do it, otherwise how can the lady in the palace and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel at ease? ”

Why doesn't Cao Shuqing understand this truth? She was just impatient: "If the queen really has the heart to inquire, what can't she inquire about in the palace?" He wanted to call me to do my best and beat my child's idea around the corner. No matter whether things work out or not, Xianzhi and Sister Hui will complain about me, feeling that I am not sincere to them. If my brother and sister and I are separated, won't I have to rely on my mother's family in the future? My sister-in-law even mentioned to me a few widowers and high-ranking officials in Beijing, and I don't know if she was hinting at something. I haven't even reconciled with Fang Wenshan before they have already started to make up my mind! ”

Gui Zhen didn't dare to say more. After all, Cao Shuqing stayed in her parents' house, and her life was not easy, let alone her life as a personal girl. In her selfish heart, she actually hopes that the hostess can get another prominent family affair and become the powerful matriarch of a high-ranking family again, so that she can follow the rising tide. But it's not easy to say this to the hostess.

She could only ask Cao Shuqing: "Madam, what should we do now?" Are you going back? ”

Cao Shuqing sighed: "What can I do if I don't go back?" I just don't know what Wentai will say again. If in the past, when my mother and brother were still alive, he was a junior, how would he dare to show me a face?! As she spoke, she couldn't help but redden, and thought of her brother's flesh and blood again, "Did my sister-in-law send someone to ask for money again yesterday?" I really don't want to care about her life or death, I just pity Wen Feng. Wen Heng is gone, Wen Yan has already taught the people in the long house to be white-eyed wolves, and he is about to get married, and there is only one Wen Feng left in his brother's flesh and blood, but he can only accompany the living dead and his wife to live in the countryside, and he can't even say anything about a decent marriage. My sister-in-law didn't want to think of a way for her own daughter, so she asked me for money all day long, and my brother married her back then, so he was really blind! ”

Gui Zhen did not answer, only raised the curtain of the car, ordered the coachman to set off, and the group re-embarked on the road back to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion.

When they entered the city, they passed by the most prosperous streets in Beijing, and saw that the "Shunji" teahouse, which used to be full of visitors, was sealed by officials and a string of people were locked and taken away. Gui Zhen knew that "Shun Ji" was the capital of the three princes, and wanted to tell the hostess, but seeing that Cao Shuqing's face was not in her thoughts, she didn't dare to disturb, so she had to be silent, and secretly looked through the gap in the curtain to see a few times at the excitement in front of the door of "Shun Ji".
