The next morning, around the hour.

More than a dozen carriages drove out of Ningrong Street, passed through Shenjing City, drove out of the east gate, and headed all the way to the wharf.

Jia Cong rode in front of the convoy, Jia Lian rode with him, followed by Qingwen and Chunxiaqiudong and others, Li Biao led two teams of cavalry to open the road in front, and the convoy was followed by eight teams of cavalry.

The team walked slowly, for more than an hour, before reaching the dock.

Although this road is an official road, it is not easy to walk, and it is far from the road to your own villa.

As soon as I arrived at the pier, I saw a three-story building boat, moored on the shore.

Wangcai rushed over early, made preparations, and laid the plank from the boat to the shore.

Seeing the team coming, Wangcai hurriedly greeted him and helped Jia Cong hold the war horse.

"Grandpa Guo, everything has been prepared, the food has been prepared, the war horse has gone to the cabin, the high-quality forage has been prepared, and the guards are on the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor, and Grandpa Guo can arrange it at will."

Jia Cong nodded, turned over and dismounted, and directed the carriage to get on the boat.

parked the carriage on the first floor, then let Daiyu and the others get out of the car, and then led them to the third floor.

Although the space on this floor is a little smaller, there is a large platform on it, like a courtyard, where you can play, enjoy the scenery, and move your hands and feet.

Although the space on the third floor is the smallest, it is no problem to accommodate 180 people.

This has been specially renovated and transformed into more than a dozen relatively large rooms, allowing Dai Yu and the others to live in separately.

The maid, the mother-in-law, the cook, and a team of female guards arranged for them to live on the second floor.

It took nearly half an hour to settle everyone down, mainly because these girls were a little troublesome and cleaned the room again, which delayed the effort.

Jia Cong gave an order, Yang Fan, lifted anchor, and the big ship slowly left the dock and headed south along the canal.

The outside affairs are handed over to Wangcai, and Jia Cong doesn't care.

In the past few years, Wangcai has been in charge of an inland fleet, a sea fleet, and a caravan, and has also been in charge of the logistics of the fleet of five or six thousand people, which has also been thoroughly trained.

These little things don't have to worry about Jia Cong at all.

There are mandarin ducks on the third floor who are responsible for taking care of it, and Jia Cong doesn't need to worry about it, just need to be responsible for coaxing Sister Lin to be happy.

When I came to the third floor, I saw Shi Xiangyun and Xichun, holding on to the railing, pointing outside.

Originally, I didn't plan to take them out this time, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, and if she brought someone out to play, Jia's mother would definitely not agree, and Daiyu would not feel comfortable.

However, these two little guys secretly ran to Ning Guofu.

stalked Jia Cong to death, and he had to follow, saying that he wanted to accompany Sister Lin, so that she would not be too sad, and it would be better to be accompanied by someone.

That's a good reason, and I don't know who came up with it.

Xichun has her own brother who loves her, and her personality is much more cheerful and lively, and Shi Xiangyun is even more of a troublemaker, very naughty.

Jia Cong thought about it and agreed, anyway, it's not a big deal.

There would be no danger in following him out, and both of them were still young, so they hid it from Jia's mother and let the two of them secretly follow the convoy.

I don't know at home, if I can't find anyone at that time, it will definitely not work, and it will not be good if the city is full of wind and rain.

Jia Cong asked You Shi to wait until he left, and then go and tell the old lady, so as not to worry them.

Now, the old lady probably already knows.

Yingchun is timid and mild-tempered, but it's nothing, Tanchun is estimated to be angry, and he didn't call her together, and when he goes back, he will definitely not spare Xichun and Xiangyun.

Jia Cong stepped forward and came to the two of them.

Feeling the autumn breeze, the scenery on both sides of the strait is rapidly receding, and the speed of the ship has been raised.

The ancients said: Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, and the West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River is thin in a dream.

It's good for me, I'm here, and I'm going down to Yangzhou in October.

Seeing Jia Cong coming, Xichun smiled and said, "Brother, this ship is so big, it's the first time I've seen such a big ship, and besides, this boat is driving so fast and so smoothly." ”

Shi Xiangyun also said: "Third brother, the boat on the dock is not as big as the boat we sit on, where did you find it?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "The big boat is stable and safe, and it is comfortable to sit on, this boat is my own, so naturally I have to make it better, the rooms you live in are all newly decorated, so it's comfortable to come out and play, isn't it?" ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Third brother, no wonder people say that you are a rich man, and you are really rich, third brother, how do I feel that this boat does not move?" On the contrary, the trees on both sides ran backwards. ”

Xichun, who was next to her, also stared at Jia Cong with big eyes, nodding her head non-stop.

"Well, well, I feel that way too."

Jia Cong smiled when he heard this: "That's because you used yourself and this ship as a reference, our ship is advancing, and the trees and scenery on both sides of the river, compared to our ship, are retreating rapidly."

If we take the ship in front of us as a reference, we can feel that our ship is moving forward, you can try it, isn't that what it looks like? ”

The two of them blinked and turned their heads to look.

I don't understand it very well, this thing is not easy to understand, and they can only understand it when they witness it with their own eyes.

The two of them looked at the trees on the shore and the boat in front of them, as if they had discovered some secret, and they were having fun.

At their size, they are the age when they are the most inquisitive, and they are interested in everything.

Jia Cong looked at them with interest and asked, "How is it, have you found anything?" ”

Shi Xiangyun said happily: "Well, I found out, just like the third brother said, third brother, you are so powerful, you know so much." ”

Xichun smiled and said, "Brother, I also found out, it's really what you said." ”

Jia Cong said: "As long as you go out and walk around you more and carefully observe the things around you, you will find a lot of interesting things." ”

Shi Xiangyun nodded, and said with a flattering face: "Third brother, can you take us out to play more in the future?" ”

Xichun said: "Brother, I also want to come out and play more, it's too boring to stay at home all the time." ”

Jia Cong laughed and said: "You guys sneaked out with me this time, the old lady couldn't find anyone for a while, it is estimated that she should be in a hurry, knowing that you ran out secretly, and when you go home, the old lady will definitely murder you, and it will be difficult to come out to play again." ”

Xichun said: "Brother, didn't you ask your sister-in-law to tell the old lady?" It should be all right, right? ”

Jia Cong said: "Well, the old lady knows that you come out with me, so she is naturally relieved, but if you sneak out without telling her, the old lady will definitely be unhappy." ”

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "When we go back, let's buy some gifts and coax the old lady, the old lady won't be really angry." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "You ghost girl, you are really smart, this is really a good way, when Uncle Lin's illness is cured, I will take you to Yangzhou City, buy some southern specialties and bring them back, and coax the old lady."

You didn't call the third girl this time, I guess she will also make trouble for you, you have to be careful. ”

Xichun said: "The second sister will definitely not dare to sneak out, the third sister will probably ask the old lady first, in case the old lady does not agree, we can't come out, the two of us discussed it, and we didn't tell them, let the two of them be companions at home." ”

Jia Cong shook his head, these two ghost girls, the ghosts have a lot of thoughts, and they are quite thoughtful.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost noon, and he said, "Let's go back to eat after playing for a while, it's almost noon." ”

"Got it, brother."

"Third brother, let's play for a while and go back."

Jia Cong returned to the cabin on the third floor and came to Lin Daiyu's room.

Lin Daiyu was standing at the window, looking out, enjoying the scenery on the shore.

Jia Cong came to her side and asked softly, "Sister Lin, are you still used to this boat?" ”

Lin Daiyu turned her head and smiled: "Brother Cong, this boat is very good, there is nothing unaccustomed, you are busy with things over there?" ”

Jia Cong said: "It's good to get used to it, I don't have anything to be busy with here, all the trivial things are handed over to Wangcai, I am only responsible for accompanying you and making you happy, so are you happy now?" ”

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Well, with Brother Cong by my side, I am naturally happy, Brother Cong, thank you, I feel much more at ease with you by my side." ”

Jia Cong took Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, don't worry, Uncle Lin will definitely be fine, everything will be fine." ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Well, I know." Brother Cong, Yun Yatou and the four girls came out, do they know, old lady? ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "I definitely don't know, if I let the old lady know, I don't think I will let them follow, the four girls and the cloud girls ran to Ning Guofu yesterday afternoon, I can't do anything, I can only agree to take them." ”

Lin Daiyu blamed: "Brother Cong, how can you sneak them out, if the old lady can't find anyone, I don't know how anxious I am?" You've done this without much thought. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I can't help it, those two guys are too pestering, don't worry, I have already told my sister-in-law, when we leave, I will go and tell the old lady, I will not let the old lady worry." ”

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Cong and said, "You can accompany the two of them to mess around, when you go back, the old lady will definitely not be able to spare you." ”

The old lady will definitely say a few words when she goes back, but it is not a big deal.

Xichun is her sister, and it's no problem to take her out, no one can say that she is not coming.

It's really not appropriate to take Shi Xiangyun out, although she is also a younger sister, but after all, her surname is Shi, and she can only be regarded as a distant cousin, but Yun Yatou is still young, and it's not a big deal.

If you are a year or two older, it is not appropriate to bring it out again.

At this time, the mandarin duck walked in and asked, "Grandpa Guo, Miss Lin, lunch is ready, do you want to set it up now?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Let's set the meal, let's eat first, I'll go and see if Second Brother Lian wants to eat together." ”

The mandarin duck nodded, turned around and went out.

······

Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion.

Yingchun and Tanchun, since the morning, I haven't seen Shi Xiangyun and Xichun.

Until Lin Daiyu was picked up by Jia Cong, she didn't see the shadow of the two little girls.

Tanchun said suspiciously: "Second sister, why didn't I see Yun Yatou and the fourth girl?" Have you ever met them? ”

Yingchun said: "No, I haven't seen them since the morning, I thought they were sleeping lazy, did you go to her house to see?" Not in the house? ”

When Tanchun heard this, his heart moved, those two guys wouldn't have secretly followed him to Yangzhou, right?

"I haven't seen it, so I'm going to take a look."

Yingchun said: "Let's go together, what time is this, still sleeping lazy?" ”

The two went to Xichun's house to see, where was there anyone, and when they asked, they found out that they went to Dongfu yesterday and didn't come back.

Yingchun and Tanchun are not fools, knowing that Shi Xiangyun and Xichun must have followed Jia Cong and them to Yangzhou.

Tanchun said a little angrily: "These two girls are really, it is estimated that they secretly followed the third brother to Yangzhou, and they didn't call us to go together, it's really annoying." ”

Yingchun said: "Well, these two little girls must have gone to Yangzhou with Brother Cong, this courage is really too big, anyway, I don't dare, this matter can't be hidden, it's better to tell the old lady earlier." ”

Tanchun nodded, the third brother didn't go to Yangzhou for a day or two, and he didn't know when he would come back, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

The two came to Jia's mother's house and said hello.

Jia Mu glanced at the two of them and asked, "Why didn't you come over with Yun Yatou and the four girls today?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Tanchun said: "Old lady, Yun Yatou and Si Yatou, they are not at home, I heard that they went to Dongfu yesterday and have not come back." ”

Jia Mu said: "Brother Cong, didn't he go to Yangzhou?" What are these two girls doing over there? Go and send someone to call them back. ”

Not long after, the mother-in-law who went to call people came back, followed by You Shi, but there was no Shi Xiangyun and Xichun.

Jia Mu said suspiciously: "Yun Yatou and the four girls, why didn't they come together?" ”

You Shi said: "Old lady, Yun Yatou and the fourth girl, they went to Dongfu yesterday, and they had to follow Brother Cong to Yangzhou, and Brother Cong had no choice but to agree to take them."

Now, I have followed Brother Cong to Yangzhou, Brother Cong is afraid that you can't find anyone to worry about getting angry, so let me come and talk to you, so as not to worry about you. ”

When my mother heard this, she was also helpless in her heart, so she followed and left, and then told me what was the use?

I guess I was afraid that I would stop it, so I came to tell myself after I left.

"You only told me now, at this time, they are probably all on the boat, just follow, follow Brother Cong'er, I don't worry, I'm afraid that they will make trouble after they go to the Lin family."

You Shi smiled: "Don't worry, old lady, they are not people who don't know the importance of the matter, having them with Lin Yatou, so as not to make Lin Yatou sad and sad alone, but it is a good thing, Brother Cong also thought of this, so he took them there." ”

Mother Jia nodded, her son-in-law's illness is estimated to be incurable, Yu'er must be very sad, it will indeed be much better to have their two little sisters to accompany and talk.

I hope Yu'er won't be too sad!
