Chapter 825: Hurry

The fleet docked at Cangzhou Wharf for two days, and then continued to set off north as originally planned.

The people of Yanwangfu communicated well with everyone in advance, and the people on the other boats should visit relatives and friends in the past two days, and they should go shopping and shopping, and they should visit and visit medicine, and they should do everything they want to do in two days. By the time the fleet set off again, most of the people were in good spirits, and no one had any objections.

Xie Mulin then pretended to have a friendship through this meeting with Aunt Li, and exchanged some reasonable courtesies, and then through these interactions, he found out that Xiao Rui went to see Aunt Li on the boat shortly after meeting him, and the latter was angry, and I heard that he was a little angry, but he ate half a bowl more than usual for dinner. Gu Niangzi also inquired with others about the medicinal diet recipe of Guben Peiyuan, and it is said that she spent a lot of money from the pharmacy near the wharf.

Xie Mulin guessed that Xiao Rui's latest news in Beijing really stimulated Aunt Li's desire to survive. Although this desire comes from anger and resentment, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who can catch a mouse is a good cat. The current emperor seems to be a bit of a scum with women, and no one knows what he will do until he dies. During this period, as long as Xiao Rui provokes one or two things in a timely manner, he doesn't have to worry too much about Aunt Li's mental state.

Aunt Li was safe, and Xie Mulin himself was secretly relieved. But before she could be happy, the third brother Xie Huizhi came over secretly and told her that he saw that the fleet of Yanwangfu had purchased two coffins in Cangzhou City, a number of white linen, and incense, candles, candles, wax and other things. Although the funeral did not take place on the ship, the coffin was brought aboard the ship during the night and was never brought off the ship. Of the several injured people who were picked up on the ship by Yanwangfu in Texas, it seems that two of them died of their injuries after all.

The death cast a shadow on the hearts of those who heard the news throughout the fleet, and many people secretly speculated about the identity of the person who died of serious injuries. And by whom? Will King Yan retaliate for this?

No one can inquire about King Yan's next plan, only that King Yan will be a vegetarian in the next three days, wearing vegetarian clothes, chanting sutras in the morning and evening, and silently praying for the deceased.

Xiao Rui also had to do these things, so Xie Huizhi, who got the news, privately asked Xie Mulin if he needed to help his future brother-in-law have some food? When the family was supplying in Cangzhou, they bought some very good dried meat, pickled eggs, meat sauce and other things, which were quite delicious with pasta, which was of great help to people who were not used to eating pasta at home.

But Xie Mulin immediately denied Xie Huizhi's proposal: "It's only three days, and eating a vegetarian diet is also good for the body." Since King Yan and the people around him are silently mourning the deceased, why should we let Second Brother Xiao make an exception? If people find out, wouldn't it make it difficult for him to be a man? "The key is that if Xiao Rui is just an ordinary military attaché, Xiaoxiao's unsociable behavior is nothing, but he will become the next generation heir of Yanwangfu in the future, and he must start to create a good image of himself in front of his subordinates and win people's hearts. Not to mention three days, even if it is three months, Xie Mulin will not help him make an exception because he pity and sympathize with him. It's a big deal that after the vegetarian days are over, it's good to make up for him.

Xie Mulin refused, and of course Xie Huizhi would not insist. It's just that he looked back at Xiao Rui's appearance of eating grass that day, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.

Gonggong Yao also gave him euphemistic advice before, thinking that if he was really interested in trading, it would be too cheap to be a businessman from a high-ranking official's family, but he could go to the Yan Wangfu on an errand and be responsible for taking care of the palace's industry, or purchasing materials or something. Among the children of big families in Beiping, there are also many people who are doing such work in the Yanwang Mansion, and they are not inferior to Xie Hui. As long as he is willing to come, His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely value him a little bit in the face of his father Xie Pu, and he is willing to promote him, and he doesn't have to worry about being bullied and excluded. There really is a day, and Grandpa Yao is also happy to cooperate with someone like him for a long time.

When Father-in-law Yao made such a suggestion, he may also have his own selfish intentions. Xie Huizhi didn't plan to delve into it, he was still a little tempted in his heart, and felt that this kind of work was decent and in line with his own mind, so it didn't hurt to give it a try.

But if it is reused by King Yan, it is necessary to follow him to become a vegetarian...... Then he should think again.

After the fleet left Cangzhou, it advanced much faster than before. First, it was because the wind from the north was not as strong as a few days ago, and secondly, the fleet of Yanwangfu took the lead in speeding up the ship, and the ships behind could only keep up desperately. Everyone originally thought that King Yan was in a bad mood, so he let the fleet speed up, and the next day he was sent from King Yan's Mansion to the doctors on each ship, and knew the real reason - the report sent by the fast horse in Beiping, the road is that there may be a heavy snowstorm in a few days, if you don't take advantage of the current weather conditions are still good, hurry more, if you are trapped by the wind and snow, won't you have to delay the trip?

Even if you can't get to Beiping before the heavy snowstorm, it's good to walk a hundred or dozens of miles less after the big drop in temperature.

So everyone stopped complaining and suspicion, and hurriedly hurried up and desperately followed the ship of Yan Wangfu. Even the large number of Jiangnan shipwrights employed in the Xie family's fleet knew that now was not the time to shout tired. The sooner they arrived in Beiping and avoided the heavy snowstorm, they could return to their hometown in the south as soon as possible, and everyone could suffer less guilt and rush home for the New Year as soon as possible.

So the fleet arrived at the port of Tianjin two days later, rested for a night, and replenished again, and the king of Yan received several letters and several urgent documents from Beiping, and the Xie family was sent by the second Song family and the third eldest son Xie Xianzhi to send a family letter to Beiping to report to Xie Pu. There are also people in the fleet who are curious about Tianjin, but there is only one night, and they can't see anything, only one family is going to Tianjin to reunite with their families The official family got off the ship with the servants, and before leaving, they solemnly went to the ship of the Yan Wangfu to thank them, but I heard that they did not see the prince, and it was a steward who came out to entertain them.

Later, the two families felt that the weather was getting colder and colder, and there was frost outside the cabin window in the morning, and it was hoped that a heavy snowstorm would arrive tomorrow. Anyway, now they are almost to Beiping, Tianjin is more than a hundred miles away from Beiping, I heard that this area is quite peaceful, under the nose of King Yan, there are no mountain bandits and road tyrants to do evil, do not follow the boat of King Yan's mansion, they can also cope with it, simply stay in Tianjin for a few days, rest, play by the way, and wait for breath, and then continue to go north.

They also sent someone to inquire about the car shop on the wharf, and knew that there was a convoy of cars going to Beiping every day, and it would not cost much to join a group at that time.

Yan Wangfu does not force everyone to follow him, they just provide protection on the road, and the people who accompany him can leave at any time, but they have to deal with anything they encounter after leaving. The Yan Wangfu will neither wait for them, nor will it make decisions for them.

The two families thought this was very reasonable, and politely gave a thank-you gift, and each took his own leave.

Xie Huizhi watched them go to the inn near the dock to rent a yard, so he ran to the boat to find Xie Mulin: "Second sister, Tianjin City seems to be quite interesting." Anyway, it's only been half a month, which is much shorter than originally expected, and we don't have to rush to the road. There is about to be a heavy snowstorm, and the two elders don't know if they can hold it up, and the old lady always shouts that she is not feeling well? Or...... Shall we stay here for two days? ”

Xie Mulin slapped his head with a palm: "Shut up!" ”
