From the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, most of the time is spent on a boat.

Even the Mid-Autumn Festival was spent on a boat.

Chu Tingchuan is low-key, so he refuses a lot of invitations from the magistrates on the road to meet him for a banquet, but Rao is like this, and he can't stand those who have worked hard to climb, so the trip has been slowed down a lot.

There are seven or eight boats in the fleet, and Zhu Yuan was originally in the same boat as Chu Tingchuan, after all, the imperial ship made by the Ministry of Industry is magnificent, and the scale is not small, and it is more than enough to live four or five princes and their families.

But halfway through, Zhu Yuan proposed to change ships.

Chu Tingchuan had just come out of the cabin of the discussion, and when he heard Jin Chang say that Zhu Yuan was going to change ships, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and after arranging the next things, he went to Zhu Yuan.

But when he went, he pounced, and saw Su Fu's standing outside the cabin with the green-clothed water crane, so he stopped and asked Su Fu's where Zhu Yuan went.

Su Fu's face was pale and she drank medicine, she was seasick and dizzy along the way, and she was even more sad than the last time she went to the capital from Qingzhou, but when she saw Chu Tingchuan coming, she immediately straightened her back, smiled and said: "Standing in front of you fishing, it is said to pass the time." ”

She glanced at the people who followed behind Chu Tingchuan, and sighed silently.

When he was about to leave, Su Fu heard that Chu Tingchuan had also changed his itinerary and wanted to take Zhu Yuan on the road together, and he couldn't help but feel angry and had some hope in his heart----- Chu Tingchuan was obviously interested in Zhu Yuan, and he liked it very much, otherwise, who would be able to do this?

Therefore, along the way, Su Fu originally thought that if he could solve the Fu family's affairs, he would really be fine in the future, and maybe Zhu Yuan would really be able to have a good home.

But it was precisely because of walking together that the little hope in her heart was completely gone.

It's nothing, it's just that there are some things that you really have to see with your own eyes to be experienced.

The distance between Zhu Yuan and Chu Tingchuan is too far, and those things that they used to think were nothing were just because they got along too little, and they ordinary people saw too little.

These days, Chu Tingchuan is almost busy from morning to night, and every time he arrives at a wharf, there will be local officials who try their best to get on the boat to ask An to meet him, and welcome him.

And among them, there are many beautiful treasures.

Su Fu didn't care much about it originally, because Chu Tingchuan didn't pay attention to the flattery of these local officials, how those beauties came to be, how they went down.

But until a few nights ago, something happened on the second floor, the ship was divided into three floors, each floor was extremely large, Chu Tingchuan lived on the second floor, that night Chu Tingchuan was angry, many ministers and entourages were not good, and they went down the first floor from the second floor in a gray manner, and stood on the deck to be trained.

Later, Jin Changcai said that it turned out to be a long history beside Chu Tingchuan who made his own assertion and left a beauty sent by a local official.

This is simply nonsense, Chu Tingchuan was furious, and it was rare not to give that Changshi face.

When Su Fu heard that it was the long history of his side, he glanced at Zhu Yuan, and his heart was completely clear.

These days, although they are sitting on Chu Tingchuan's boat, this matter has also been approved by the Queen Mother, and those people around Chu Tingchuan are also polite to them.

But there was a faint condescension and disdain and even defensiveness in this politeness, and of course Su Fushi could see it.

Even Jin often has to be careful when he comes over occasionally, for fear that he will be reprimanded by the old scholars who followed Chu Tingchuan----- by the way, it is indeed good to eat and live well on this royal ship, and even the people who serve are extremely thoughtful, but it is uncomfortable all over.

The ministers who came with them were more old-fashioned and conservative than one another, and they had to say a few words about what kind of people are noble and self-respecting, their identities are different, men and women are very guarded, and they themselves are even more suspicious, and they can't wait to let those who follow Yulin Wei Li and the outer three floors surround the cabins where they live.

Even the green clothes went out on the deck to watch the scenery for a while, and at night they were tactfully conveyed by the palace maids who served them, telling them to abide by the rules and not drag down the reputation of His Royal Highness.

It's like going to jail here.

If the Su Fu clan counted ten years forward, it would be able to stand it, after all, the Su family was like another cage.

But now that she has been following Zhu Yuan for a long time, she unconsciously feels that this is an unbearable shackle, thinking of Zhu Yuan's temper, she completely broke off her thoughts about Chu Tingchuan in her heart.

It is true that Chu Tingchuan is excellent, his status, and appearance, there is no place that is not good, but it is the same, he is too good.

Seeing Chu Tingchuan turn around and leave, Su Fu sighed slightly behind him.

It's easy to meet such a good person, not because of his status, but because of his respect and accommodation for Zhu Yuan, which is one in a million, but unfortunately there is no fate.

Zhu Yuan didn't know that her aunt had thought about it so much, she couldn't catch a fish after standing for a long time, so she simply stopped reluctantly, and was about to go back to the cabin, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Chu Tingchuan standing not far away looking at herself, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and asked frankly: "Didn't those masters follow you today?" ”

Otherwise, if you come to see her like this, the ministers will start preaching again.

Chu Tingchuan frowned.

The rejection and defense of Zhu Yuan by the people around him were too obvious, but at the moment, he really couldn't do anything about them.

He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan looked at him and said softly: "Your Highness, it's almost safe to get here, you should go to Jinling first, I think, we can almost go separately." ”

She must go to Hangzhou first.

Her grandfather is now accused of passively avoiding the war, which is not a small crime, and she has to go to the house to see what is going on before she can decide what to do next, whether to go to Gannan first or stay in Zhejiang temporarily.

With a mess of things on her body, she didn't have time to care about the exclusion and defense of these forces around Chu Tingchuan.

It doesn't have to be.

Chu Tingchuan also knew that this trip Zhu Yuan must have asked people to pass on the word in order to find him to say this, otherwise in order to avoid him being embarrassed, she had never made any move to make people talk during the nearly half a month of travel along the way.

He nodded without too much hesitation: "In that case, when you get to the dock, I will arrange for you to get off the boat, and when the matter on my side is settled, I will come to look for you." ”

Looking for her?

Zhu Yuan felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this, but he didn't think too deeply about it at this time, nodded and agreed, and reminded him: "Your Highness should be careful when you go to Jinling, the case in Yangzhou is always not simple." ”
