However, Wu Lixin's search for death has not yet shown bad consequences for the time being, and someone's fate has come.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, Cui Pu and Mu Kyaukjiao stayed in Suzhou for a few more days, and did not board the ship again until the third day of the first lunar month to continue their journey south.

Zheng Da and his wife have been living in their yard these days, Guan Niangzi will cook an authentic Bingzhou food for Mu Jiaojiao every day, and Zheng Da will help in the yard, and the two of them will not be idle for a moment. So on the day of departure, Cui Pu simply invited them to come on the boat and walk with them.

Zheng Da and his wife couldn't help Cui Pu's enthusiasm, coupled with the enthusiasm of Hongdou A-Niang to stay, so they both agreed. Both of them secretly decided in their hearts that they must serve the young couple well along the way, in order to repay them for their great kindness to their husband and wife.

The boat had only been gone for half a day, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Then Mung Bean broke in from outside: "Lady, it's not good! A person suddenly fell from the boat in front of him, and he is still struggling in the water, it looks so scary!"

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly raised her head: "Fell from the boat in front of you?"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Lixin took the initiative to ask someone to send them a New Year's gift. Cui Pu discussed with Mu Jiaojiao for a while, and then gave them a large box of pills in return. With this box of medicine in hand, the martial artist shouldn't have to ask them for medicine for the rest of the time.

Therefore, early this morning, Wu Lixin took the first step to take people on board the ship and walked one step ahead of them.

So now according to Mung Bean, it should be a person who fell from the samurai's ship?

"Did Lang Jun know about this?

"Lang Jun knows, and he has already called someone to save people. ”

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "In that case, then we don't have to worry about it. We'll see how it progresses. ”

Mung Bean stuck out his tongue and quickly retreated.

Not long after, news came, and Mu Jiaojiao knew that the person who fell into the water was actually one of the gentlemen who followed Wu Lixin to Yangzhou - Mr. Xu!

After Cui Pu ordered someone to rescue him from the water, he watched the boats of the martial arts family in front of him move faster and faster, and soon left them far behind, without any intention of stopping and waiting for someone. Cui Pu had no choice but to ask someone to prepare hot water for him to bathe, and then took a set of Mr. Zhuang's clothes for him to change into. Finally, the two of them closed the door and talked for a long time.

It was only in the evening that Cui Pu returned to Mu Jiaojiao.

"This Wu Lixin is really excessive!" As soon as he entered the door, he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Just because Mr. Xu taught him a few words before, and then said that he was inferior to me, he held a grudge, and today he directly pushed Mr. Xu off the boat! If you are lucky and we pick him up, it will be Tiannong him, so that he will follow me in Tianchang County in the future to make contributions to the place where birds don't. And if he is unlucky and drowns alive in the river, it will also be an injustice of God, let his soul go to heaven to reason! How can anyone be so ruthless in this New Year, even those who have been given by their elders dare to bully wantonly!"

"Didn't you say he was looking for death that day? Now he's just doing what he's been doing. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"However, this cold day directly throws people into the water, this practice is still ......" Cui Pu couldn't accept it.

"That's how different you are from him. Although they are both gentlemen, the Cui family has a strict family education, and you are never allowed to careless of people's lives, and your play is limited. However, after all, the foundation of the martial arts family is insufficient, and it was a few decades ago that the Empress Zetian rapidly flourished, how is this different from the nouveau riche? He has been in contact with King Shou since he was a child, and both of them are masters who do not take human life seriously. In this way, they influence each other and bring each other badly, and naturally they are even more lawless. Before, he could kill an innocent and weak girl like Miss Junjun, which is enough to explain his character. Mu Jiaojiao said softly.

"In the previous days, he had endured it. It's just that as time passed, those people refused to follow his wishes, and his true nature was gradually revealed, and he naturally came to this point. It can only be said that he is still the real him now. ”

When Cui Pu heard this, he let out a sigh. "You're right, he's the real him. In Chang'an City before, he was indeed like this! It's just that he just didn't have mercy for those common people before, and I can still understand it. But after all, Mr. Xu is the gentleman arranged for him by his father and Concubine Hui, and when the time comes, he will be of great use, how can he treat him at will? God knows, I can't ask for such a talent, but he throws it directly into the river!"

"So, it's good that he threw it, and it's good that you picked it up. Mu Jiaojiao replied and smiled softly at him, "The concubine can now congratulate Lang Jun, and finally get another capable person!"

When Cui Pu heard this, the anger on his face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by full joy.

"I knew that this matter must not be hidden from your eyes!" he hurriedly stepped forward to grab her waist, and leaned his head on her shoulder, "I had a long talk with Mr. Xu just now, and he has already expressed his intention to follow me." I tried again and again, and finally determined that he was sincere! And I had long heard Mr. Zhuang say that Mr. Xu was familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and he also wrote beautiful articles, but because of bad luck, every time he arrived at the imperial examination, he would always encounter obstacles. This time he was sent to follow Wu Lixin to Yangzhou, and Wu Changshi must have made great determination. But I didn't expect that Wu Lixin didn't know how to cherish it at all, and it just happened to be cheap for me!"

As he spoke, he smirked.

Mu Jiaojiao also smiled: "Now, you don't have to worry about how to deal with those talents in the county, right?"

"Yes, with him out of the horse, what am I afraid of?" Cui Pu smiled, "Now it's okay, Mr. Zhuang is good at thinking, Mr. Wu specializes in water conservancy, and now there is a Mr. Xu who is outstanding in writing, at least there are people in all directions who can be calmed down, and I can really breathe a sigh of relief! It would be nice if such a good thing could come a few more times, I heard that there are still many capable people on the boat ahead!"

"It's not easy to pick one up so quickly, so don't think too much about it. Wu Lixin is not a fool, he is just using Mr. Xu to make an example now, and he will not let go of others. Mu Jiaojiao cruelly pierced his sweet dreams.

Cui Pu pursed his lips. "I understand the reason, but won't you allow me to think about it for a moment?"

"Okay, okay, you think slowly, think casually, can't I stop bothering you?" Mu Jiaojiao said helplessly.

"No!" who knew that Cui Pu refused to let her go at this time, "I just got on the road today, and I picked up such a big baby, which shows that our luck must be good this year." Shouldn't the two of us celebrate such a good thing?"

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him lightly. "If you want to celebrate, wait until dawn tomorrow, and then ask Aunt Red Bean to start a fire and cook a table of good dishes to treat the big guy. ”

"That's tomorrow, now I'm talking about the two of us!" Cui Pu didn't go around the bend with her, and hurriedly pushed her, pulled the brocade quilt and hid the two of them together.
