On the day of departure, Shu Yan, Zhixin, Xiao Mo, Ruoxin, and Ruan Shui said goodbye to Ye Qing, Ruan Shan and others, left Luoyang City, and went straight to the Luohe ferry.

Shu Yan led Xiao Mo's jujube red horse and Ruoxin side by side in front, and the three women followed behind. Jujube Red immediately carried all their belongings. It's not a valuable thing, but it's not something to throw away.

"Brother-in-law, shall we take a big boat or a small rented boat? For such a long journey, the boat fare must be quite a lot, and we will share the cost. Now that Ruoxin has become a family, she knows that she is also an adult, and she can't still be burdened by Shu Yan for everything like before.

Shu Yan shook his head, pointed back, and said, "I don't know about this, it was arranged by your little sister Mo." ”

When she came back from bidding farewell to Princess Yong'an that day, Xiao Mo informed Shu Yan that she had found the boat. Shu Yan had a lot of things to do, and of course he was glad that someone had helped him take care of this matter, so he didn't ask too much. Regarding the matter of rubbing Shi's boat back to Ruyin, Xiao Mo asked Zhixin to keep it secret, so Shu Yan didn't know.

"Little Sister Mo, what kind of ship are we doing? How much does it cost to ship? ”

"Hundreds of miles of waterway, small boats are not safe, of course you have to take a big boat." Xiao Mo said in the back.

"Oh, that's a passenger ship, huh?"

"There are dragons and snakes on the passenger ship, there are everyone, and it is not safe."

"It's not a passenger ship, it's not a small boat, is it a cargo ship on the way?"

"Although the cargo ship on the way is large, the cabins are limited, and all of them are rough crews, there are five more people at once, and there are three of us women, how can we live?"

"Then ......" are not three types of ships, Ruoxin really can't think of any other ships.

Xiao Mo smiled: "You don't need to ask, you'll know when the time comes." ”

On both sides of the Luo River, passenger and cargo terminals stretch out separately. At the passenger boat ferry, dozens of large and small boats are docked. Xiao Mo walked to the front, looked left and right, and led everyone towards a high-rise ship.

"Get on board, this is it."

Look at the big ship, there are two floors above and below, and more than a dozen cabins, all of which are covered by curtains. There is no way to see it inside, only from the outside, finely carved, whitewashed with oil paint, thick planks, thick pillars, and a luxurious treasure ship at the end.

Ruoxin couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "This ship—how can we afford to rent it?" How much does it cost? ”

"You just have to get on the boat, I don't want any money from you."

Shu Yan knew that Xiao Mo knew a lot of people in Luoyang City, and it was not difficult to find a ship, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo to find such a luxury ship, so he hurriedly asked, "Whose ship is this?" How can we sit on such a ship? ”

"It's safe, comfortable, and doesn't cost money, you don't care so much, come and lead the horse to carry the luggage on the boat."

Xiao Mo took the lead in picking up a piece of luggage and boarded the boat. Although everyone was like being in the fog, seeing that Xiao Mo was so calm, there was no obstacle to expecting it, and they all picked up their luggage and followed. Only Zhixin was nervous and followed last.

A servant on the ship came over to greet him: "It's Mr. Shu, right?" ”

"It's despicable. Your master ......" Shu Yan wanted to ask, "Who is your master", but stopped halfway through. Because since you are on someone else's boat, you don't know who the owner is, isn't it ridiculous? It's all Xiao Mo's fault, I don't know what the hell she's doing!

Xiao Mo also saw Shu Yan's embarrassment, and smiled secretly: "His master hasn't arrived yet, so it is estimated that he will have to wait for a while." As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the servant, "We have been walking for most of the day, first settle our luggage, and then get us some water to drink." ”

The servant led everyone to settle their luggage, and then invited everyone into the cabin to wait.

Xiao Mo pointed at Zhixin and Ruan Shui again: "Arrange a separate cabin for the three of us, it must be clean and hidden, and we don't want to be disturbed." ”

"This is not unnecessary, there are already arrangements."

The servant pointed to the back of the boat, and two maidservants came to greet him.

Zhixin knew the truth, and was afraid that it would be inconvenient to meet Biyu later, so she wanted to enter the cabin to take refuge, so she took Ruan Shui and Xiao Mo into the cabin together.

Shu Yan and Ruoxin stood outside the cabin, puzzled. The two men leaned against the railing of the boat and watched the crowd of people coming and going on the pier. A gust of wind blew, blowing the flag sail overhead with a "poof" sound.

Ruoxin looked up inadvertently and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, look! ”

Shu Yan also looked up, and a big word "Shi" on the banner above his head was fluttering in the wind.

The two of them seemed to have realized: Is this the Shi family's ship? Is the Shi family going to Ruyin too? Xiao Mo and Biyu are incompatible, how could they take his boat?

Shu Yan hurriedly asked Ruoxin to enter the cabin and called out Xiao Mo to ask for an understanding. At this moment, under the cover of the two brocade step barriers, a team of honor guards came on the road. A carriage in front of it opened the road, followed by a two-horse safety car. This identity is at least a person with an official rank of more than 2,000 stones. The car behind is even more incredible, it is a three-horse oil painting car. The oil painting car is the exclusive car of the royal family, and the princess and the middle concubine are just qualified to ride the two-horse oil painting car, and the oil painting car of the three cars is at least the level of the eldest princess. Around the oil painting Anche, there are more than a dozen maids. At the end of the line were a few calves laden with luggage and a group of gray-headed servants.

The guard of honor came to the ferry and stopped, Shu Yan carefully looked at the driver of the car, it was Biyu's imperial husband Ah Zhuang, and the car was accompanied by Biyu's former scholar and now Changsui Aji.

"It's Shi Biyu and the eldest princess of Yong'an!" He was surprised.

Biyu got out of the car by the shoulders of Ah Zhuang and Ah Ji and got on the boat first. The eldest princess of Yong'an, who was behind, got out of the car with the support of Ah Miao, Ah Yan and others, and also walked straight to the boat.

At this time, Ruoxin happened to call Xiao Mo out. Biyu was about to say hello to Shu Yan, but caught a glimpse of Xiao Mo and immediately became uncomfortable.

Xiao Mo also glanced at him coldly, don't look at it as someone else's boat, but he didn't appreciate it at all, let alone ignore him. Seeing the eldest princess later, Fang Huan smiled and ran off the springboard to greet him.

Shu Yan was simply there, and he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Ruoxin reminded: "Brother-in-law, that's the eldest princess of Yong'an, what should we do?" ”

Only then did Shu Yan react: "What else can I do, hurry up and avoid it!" ”

Both men ran to the other side of the boat to dodge. It wasn't until Xiao Mo welcomed the eldest princess of Yong'an into the cabin where the three of them were that he turned here.

At this time, Hiyu had already boarded his own cabin on the second floor. The servants of the Shi family were busy carrying various items onto the ship in turn. Not only did he have the things he needed for the trip, but he also purchased a large number of delicacies and high-quality fabrics that can only be bought in Luoyang City. It was not enough to be better than jade, with good ingredients and clothing, and I was afraid that Ruyin would not have good craftsmanship, so I chose two cooks, two tailors and a doctor to take with me.

The three-car oil painting car is the legal car of the eldest princess of Yong'an, and she has been going to Ruyin for a long time, of course, she has to follow her. In addition to the eldest princess's car, Biyu's two-horse chariot was also brought on board. In Ruyin County, there was a two-horse car allocated by the imperial court to the former Taishou, but Biyu thought it was dilapidated, so he spent his own money to build a new car.

Shu Yan really didn't know what to do at this time, and wanted to ask Xiao Mo in person what was going on, but she was with the eldest princess of Yong'an and didn't dare to come closer.

When the time was moved, the servants of the Shi family carried all the items and vehicles onto the ship and removed the gangplank. The boatman asked Aji: "Everything is in order, just wait for the son's instructions when the boat will be sailed." ”

Aji ran to the top to ask for instructions, and when he came back, he said to the man, "Childe commands, start the boat immediately." ”

Two sailors untied the ship's ropes, eight sailors rowed their oars, and the big ship started slowly.

Shu Yan was helpless, so anxious that he paced back and forth on the deck.

Ruoxin comforted: "'If you come, you will be safe'." Brother-in-law, that's all it can be like now. ”

"What else can you do with the restless? Xiao Mo, she is really ......"

"Don't blame Sister Mo." Ruoxin smiled, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this boat sitting up." ”

It is true that passenger ships are crowded, small boats are dangerous, and cargo ships are uncomfortable. Shu Yan asked himself, can he find any good ships?

As she was talking, she saw the eldest princess of Yong'an walking out of the cabin, Xiao Mo, Zhixin, and Ruan Shui followed behind, and watched her go to Biyu's cabin.

"What kind of reputation are you making, tell me clearly!" Shu Yan asked Xiao Mo anxiously and angrily, but he didn't dare to speak up.

Xiao Mo walked over, turned his face blank, and said angrily: "Don't be cheap and sell well." For such a long journey, the cost of five people, even an ordinary boat, will cost you two months' money. I put you on such a good ship, and it's free, so what else is there to say? ”

"I ......" Although Shu Yan admired Xiao Mo's ability, he didn't approve of it, and said with a glare, "I spend my own money to take the boat, and I feel at ease." If you take someone else's boat, don't you owe a favor! ”

Seeing Shu Yan's stupid and serious appearance, Xiao Mo smiled "poof": "What favor do you owe him?" He's desperate to win you over. ”

"Nonsense! I'm going back to Ruyin soon. He is the secretary of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, what can I do with him in the future! ”

"What secretary, don't you see him and the eldest princess also going to Ruyin?"

"Didn't he go to Ruyin to visit relatives?"

"Silly, let me tell you the truth, you may be a little lost. He also went to Ruyin to take up his post, but he is your boss and goes to be the Taishou of Ruyin. ”

In the era before the Wei and Jin dynasties, more attention was paid to the chiefs and the subordinate officials were despised. Take the county as an example, don't look at the county is under the jurisdiction of the county, but the county order of the county government is also higher than the rank of the first assistant of the county government.

"What?" Shu Yan never expected that the new Ruyin Taishou that Wang Situ said was Shi Biyu!

Xiao Mo saw that Shu Yan was stunned, guessing that he might be difficult to accept this reality, and immediately aroused his hatred for Shi Hui, and shouted: "Behind this is all the ghosts of the old thief of the Shi family, but I hate that I couldn't see him." Otherwise, I'll have to scold him!" Xiao Mo's temper came up, no matter whose ship it was, he couldn't care about the face of the eldest princess of Yong'an.

Seeing Xiao Mo so open-mouthed, Zhixin hurriedly ran over to cover her mouth and persuaded: "Now that it's over, what's the use of scolding?" This can't be blamed entirely on the Shi family. The husband refused to go along with King Zhao and voluntarily resigned and went home. This is not persecution. What's more, he returned to Ruyin to be a county minister, in order to benefit the people of Ruyin, not to flatter Taishou. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
