Chapter 287: Wu Jiuze accompanied
Shu Qingai arrived at the dock in Pingyang County, but she was still confused in her heart.
She didn't know where the rest of the pearls were.
Obviously, the peach blossom ao mentioned by the dart received that day, Yan Xingchen could not be there at all, and Yan Xingchen's departure may be for the sake of Li Yu's parents.
Although she went back to the house to rest that day, she later learned from Yan Xingchen that the place where Li Yu's parents got off the boat was called Konggang County.
Don't hesitate, anyway, the matter of finding pearls depends on chance, so it is better for her to try her luck in Konggang County first.
At the docks, she asked the workers who were carrying them if there were any boats going to Konggang County, but most of them had never heard of them.
After all, the people here will never leave their hometown for the rest of their lives, and they know very little about things in the distance.
When Shu Qingai was at a loss, she saw an acquaintance who got off the carriage from a distance and came to the dock!
She greeted him with joy and blocked the man's path.
"Wu Jiuze!"
Wu Jiuze looked at Shu Qingai, who was dressed as a man in front of him, and his eyes lit up! I almost gave her a hug!
"Qing, no, county lord! Why are you here? ”
It has been several months since they were separated, and when he saw Wu Jiuze again, he seemed to be a lot more mature than before, less squirming and pompous when they met for the first time in the past, and a little more calm.
"And ask me? Didn't your family all move to Fucheng? Why are you still in Pingyang County? ”
Wu Jiuze had a smile on his face, and he had not yet come out of the excitement of seeing Shu Qingai.
"At the beginning, with my father and mother passing, the first two months came back, here my mother left some shops and business, I still need to take care of it, it just so happened that my mother also wanted to exercise me, so let me come back."
Hearing him say this, Shu Qingai missed that Mrs. Wu a little.
"By the way, where are you going, county lord? Why is a man dressed up, and he doesn't have a guard and a girl by his side? ”
Hearing Wu Jiuze's question, Shu Qingai suddenly had a sad face again.
"I asked you about a place, do you know where that Konggang County is? I wanted to go somewhere, but I asked several people here, and they had never heard of it. ”
Speaking of love, Wu Jiuze's face was full of surprise!
"How did you run so far alone?"
Hearing Wu Jiuze say this, Shu Qingai's face was full of excitement, thinking that he knew where that place was?
"Hey, don't worry about it, I have something important, tell me quickly."
Shu Qing was very anxious in his love, in fact, he was afraid that the two secret guards who would be stunned by himself would come to him after waking up, and he would not be taken back by the two of them at that time?
"There is no one around you, if you really want to go, why don't I accompany you, I do know that place, but you can't reach it directly by boat, and you have to change to a carriage to catch up with the two-day road halfway, but after seven or eight days by water, you can get there."
"Don't accompany me, you still have business to take care of, just tell me the specific route."
Thinking of Wu Jiuze's crazy sister Wu Qingqian, Shu Qingai pursed her lips and rejected his kindness.
Wu Jiuze hesitated for a few seconds and did not answer Shu Qingai's words.
"You wait for me for a while, and I'll be back right away."
The words fell, and without waiting for Shu Qingai to answer, Wu Jiuze directly took a housekeeper and his entourage behind him to the side of the carriage.
Soon, he turned back, Shu Qing was anxious in love, but he couldn't keep asking and not listening.
"I've asked the housekeeper to charter a boat, let's go to Meixian first, and then transfer to a horse-drawn carriage, and the housekeeper will be back soon."
Shu Qingai waved her hand again and again: "No, I'll go by myself, you really don't have to be with me." ”
Knowing that this person once had thoughts about herself, she couldn't take advantage of other people's feelings, if she accepted his kindness so calmly, it might only make him misunderstand.
"The county lord doesn't have to be like this, knowing that the county lord has already married, the county lord doesn't have to mind, if the county lord doesn't agree, I don't feel at ease."
Wu Jiuze seemed to see through Shu Qingai's heart, and directly said what she was thinking.
Shu Qingai listened, and there was a burst of embarrassment on her face.
"But your business ......"
"There is a housekeeper to take care of it, it was like this before, I don't care about this day, not to mention, following the county lord is Jiuze's wish that Jiuze has long wanted to complete, after all, the county lord, there are still many places where Jiuze wants to learn, last time I didn't get my wish, this time I hope the county lord won't shirk."
No matter what Wu Jiuze said, Shu Qing's love was still a burst of diaphragm.
"Young master, the boat has been rented, and the young master and the county lord can board the ship."
The little servant Ake hurriedly ran towards them, just interrupting Shu Qingai's words to refute.
"County lord, seeing that you are in such a hurry, don't delay the hour any longer, let's go now, we will have four or five days to reach Mei County, county lord, please."
"Okay."
Since everyone else is so open, she still hesitates! Shu Qingai immediately nodded in response.
Ake brought them both in front of him and came to the dock where they boarded the boat.
The boat rented by Ake is used to carry passengers, and it is also used for rental on weekdays, and there are many boats rented out like this on the river.
Some are big and some are small, some are simple, and some look better and some more.
The boat they rented, about eight or nine meters long, was loaded with three people, an old man with gray hair and beard, and a bunch of middle-aged couples, his son and daughter-in-law.
When the three of them saw Wu Jiuze and Shu Qing love them on board, they all waited respectfully and enthusiastically at the bow of the boat.
"Two distinguished passengers, please."
The old man bent down and greeted them with a smile.
The two of them smiled politely at him, stepped on the pedals, and boarded the boat.
"The two nobles are called the little old man Yang, those two, one is my son, called Bolt, and the other is his daughter-in-law, called Chunliu, what do the two distinguished guests need these days, just tell us to be."
Wu Jiuze nodded, and then signaled to the little servant Ake to give a few taels of silver as a reward, and the family smiled and thanked again and again.
The cabin is very large, and as soon as you enter, there is a very clean hall, although the furniture in it is made of ordinary materials, but there should still be something, and it is quickly tidy and tidy.
There are two rooms in the hall, which are supposed to be a place for guests to rest.
There is also a corridor from the left side of the cabin, and there should be a place behind the room or something.
The two of them were under the table in the hall, and the woman named Chunliu served hot tea after a while, and the little maid Ake took it from her, and the woman walked out of the hall with a smile.
"What is the county lord for?"
Wu Jiuze asked while pouring tea for Shu Qingai.
"Young Master Wu still call me Su Gongzi, it's also convenient to go out."
Shu Qingai took the teacup in Wu Jiuze's hand and said in a soft voice.
Wu Jiuze nodded with a clear face: "It's my negligence, Su Gongzi shouldn't be like this, or call me by my name, or call me Brother Wu." ”
Shu Qingai was holding the tea in his hand and was about to smell it, but he almost didn't spill it directly on the low table.
Brother Wu, no breast. Can't blame her for being too sensitive.
"What's wrong with Su Gongzi?"
Shu Qingai shook her head awkwardly: "This tea is no problem, we can drink it with confidence." ”
Seeing that she changed the topic, Wu Jiuze's face was a scoundrel.
"Su Gongzi's release is that this boatman and our housekeeper are acquaintances, and there will be no such thing as Su Gongzi thinks."
Shu Qingai was also drugged and scared!
In the past, she was forcibly drugged because she couldn't prevent it, or it fell directly into the hands of others, but last time, she was too careless.
"When you go out, you should be cautious."
The two chatted casually for a while, and the boat slowly left the dock and sailed into the river.
Shu Qingai wanted to get rid of being followed, so she thought of the shipwreck and left, but as everyone knows, she completely forgot about her body.
In less than two hours, she was like overturning the river and the sea, and she began to get seasick very sadly.
After vomiting twice in a row, she simply went straight to the room to sleep.
Her reaction made Wu Jiuze even more worried and anxious.
"Wu Gongzi doesn't have to worry, then Su Gongzi must not be used to taking a boat, that's it, many guests were the same before, Su Gongzi only needs to sleep and it will be fine."
Seeing Wu Jiuze's worried look, he thought that they had a deep brotherly relationship, so he stepped forward and said kindly.
At this point, the ship had sailed so far away, and it was impossible to dock, and he was a little relieved to hear the bolt say that this was a normal reaction.
For a few days, Shu Qingai almost ate and vomited! This kind of life and sin life simply makes her live like years.
After a few days, she had lost a lot of weight, and she sat on the bed in the cabin room, she closed her eyes pretendically, and gently stroked her little hand on her lower abdomen.
"Baby, you have to be good, you are such a mommy again, see you come out, how can mommy clean you up."
Dizzy for a while, she lay in bed for a few days, her whole body was aching, and after half a day, she finally ushered in liberation.
The ship finally docked and arrived at the wharf in Meixian.
Shu Qingai, who was not chased by the secret enemy along the way, but was made worse than dead by her own pregnancy reaction, stepped on the ground with her feet, as if she had been reborn!
"Look at you like this, let's find an inn to rest for the night before we go on the road, anyway, it's almost evening, and we are not in a hurry."
Shu Qingai's face turned pale and nodded.
She is really uncomfortable now, and she is really afraid that if she goes on like this, she will exhaust the spiritual power that Ling'er left for herself to protect the baby.
Meixian County is a county larger than Pingyang County, Shu Qingai didn't have the energy to go around at all, and under Wu Jiuze's arrangement, they went to a more luxurious inn.
The little servant Ake asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms on the top floor, and the three of them entered the room and rested separately.
Shu Qingai transferred the hot water from Xiao Er directly to the space, and in the space, it was time for dinner to take a hot bath comfortably.
The dinner that the three of them had in the hall downstairs was proposed by Shu Qingai.
In the past few days on the ship, she has no grounding, and she is very unearthed at this time, and she is on the ground all the time, just in the hall for dinner, and she can also breathe.
There were a lot of guests dining, and the conversation that happened to be chatting unscrupulously and loudly next door fell into Shu Qingai's ears.
"Big brother, do you say that this auction will be like in previous years, and there will be some calligraphy, paintings, antiques or something? What does that have to do with us big guys? ”
"Hehe, no matter what kind of calligraphy and painting antiques he has, why should they all have a long knowledge, how can they say that their subordinates are also hundreds of brothers, and they also have to pay attention to their own cultivation, right?"
"Yes! Be! Be! The eldest brother is right, but if there are some precious jewels and jade, the eldest brother can also shoot two of them, and go back to please the joy of their new sister-in-law, right? ”
