Chapter 219: Let the misty rain live for the rest of your life
Ten Mile Pavilion outside Songjiang City.
"Mu Bin has met the princess. The princess has had a hard journey."
"Thank you for making this trip." Princess Chang Ning smiled at Mu Yan and coughed twice under her handkerchief, "My body is not strong enough, so I have to wait for you for so many days."
"Princess, you're welcome. My nephew just happened to be here in Songjiang City for a few more days to see the excitement. I have ordered people to prepare the boat. The princess will take a short rest before entering the city. Let's abandon the car and change the boat. The princess can also avoid the bumpy road.
"
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
After saying that, he looked behind Mu Yan and saw that there were only the guards and servants of the Mu family. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. His father must have forgotten her, and he didn't even send one and a half people to pick her up.
Mu Yan went to the car where Geng and others were driving, bowed his hands and saluted: "I have seen my grandmother, my fourth uncle, and my concubine."
The maid lifted up the car curtain, and Mr. Geng looked out.
After not seeing each other for several years, this eldest grandson was already as tall as a green pine, with a handsome face. He looked more and more like his grandfather, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"Thank you for your hard work." He called to Mu Wang, who was sitting next to him, "Wang'er, come and pay homage to your elder brother."
Mu Wang looked at Mu Yan steadily and looked him up and down.
Then the monkey came to Mr. Geng: "Grandma, my grandson's butt hurts from sitting on it. Please tell them to go to the city quickly. I have to go to the inn to freshen up. If it's later, I will stink."
He buried his face in Geng's body and never looked at Mu Yan again.
"Okay, then let's go to the city quickly and let grandma's son have a good time."
The car curtain was lowered, blocking Mu Yan's view.
Mu Yan looked away indifferently and ordered the convoy: "Let's set off."
Get on your horse.
Mu Xin rode up to him and said, "Yan'er, thank you for your hard work. The princess is not in good health. She was delayed on the road for a few days and kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, uncle. There are a lot of ships coming and going from Songjiang Port. I just happened to watch the excitement and bought a lot of things."
"Oh? What good things did you buy?"
The next day, Huo Xi and Yang Fu had freshened up and were about to board the gangplank to go ashore when they saw Gong Ziyi and two servants walking towards her family's boat.
"Ha, I just said it's time for you to get up." Gong Ziyi smiled with a smile on his face, looking proud of his calculations.
"You, a young master from a wealthy family, got up so early?" She also wanted to go to the nanny and ask her to take her to various weaving workshops to buy some silk fabrics.
"I'm afraid you'll run away. Why don't I come to block you early in the morning?"
Huo Xi raised her eyebrows.
"Don't you really want to go and talk to my brother about old times? You are heartless." Gong Ziyi raised his hand and nodded at her.
"No way. I thought you wouldn't get up so early. I just happened to finish my business first and then talk to you later." Huo Xi laughed.
"What do you mean by not getting up so early? In your opinion, do young masters from wealthy families just wait to die and sleep until midnight?"
"Young master from a wealthy family, I have so many capable people working for me. I just need to talk. Is it necessary for you to do me a favor?"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become a poor talker. A young master from a wealthy family also has to support his family and get up early to find food. In the past two years, I had a headache, a thorn in my buttocks, and I slept in the middle of the night and woke up in the middle of the night."
Seeing Huo Xi's disbelief, he said sincerely: "Brother, I really won't lie to you. Just last year, my family forced me to take the imperial examination and become an official. I got up every day before the rooster crows."
Pretending to have a bitter look on his face.
Seeing him acting strangely, Huo Xi smiled and said, "Aren't you happy? Isn't it great to have thousands of people admire you once a fish leaps over the dragon gate?"
"What's so good? In just a few decades of life, I have to flatter and flatter others in the officialdom every day. I don't live like myself. I just live my life in mist. Isn't it good?"
Huo Xi glanced at him steadily and smiled.
"Ah, Uncle Yang Fu, we haven't seen you for many years, how are you?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Gong Ziyi said hello to Yang Fu again.
"Hello, Master Gong."
Yang Fu greeted him with a smile and asked him: "Can you take the imperial examination?"
"Yes, why not? The "David Law" only says that 'prostitutes, elites, scribes, soldiers' and their descendants are not allowed to enter the examination or donate to prison, but it does not say that merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examination. Besides, merchants are allowed
You can donate an official position, and if you donate an official position, you will naturally become a member of an official family, so what can't you do if you take the imperial examination?"
"Did your family donate officials?" Huo Xi asked him.
Gong Ziyi shook his head: "My father is stingy, and he is not willing to give up money. However, someone in my clan donated his idle official position."
Huo Xi had already stepped off the gangplank and walked towards the city with him.
"Have you had breakfast? Let's go for a walk. Brother Wei will take you to eat something delicious."
Gong Ziyi has grown very tall now, a head taller than Yang Fu. This will attract Huo Xi like a chicken.
"You walk well! Why don't you use your hands and feet?" Huo Xi wanted to brush his hand away, but he didn't expect him to pull it harder.
"It's been four years, why do you still look like you haven't grown up? You're just under my armpits, when did you grow as tall as me? Tsk, tsk." He looked down at Huo Xi, with a look of disgust on his face.
Huo Xi patted him: "Why don't you tell me how many years older you are and how many more years you have chewed rice and noodles?" With Yang Fu's help, Huo Xi broke away, jumped two steps away, and glared at him.
"Haha, that's true. Let's go. Brother, I will take you to eat an extra meal of rice and noodles today so that you can grow taller."
The three of them found a large restaurant and ordered a large table. They ate until the end and Huo Xilu couldn't walk.
Tea was served again and we talked for a long time.
"Why did you come to Songjiang? Selling salted fish?"
"Just remember that I sell salted fish. There is no shortage of salted fish in Songjiang Prefecture."
Gong Ziyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then looked at Huo Xi: "Why are you here again?"
Huo Xi also picked up the tea and drank it: "Isn't this a maritime ban? I'm here to see if there is anything good."
"Oh? Have you made a lot of money in the past few years?" Gong Ziyi leaned towards her with interest.
Huo Xi pushed him away: "My family is just a fisherman, and we still make a lot of money. Why are we daydreaming in the blue sky?"
"Others may be daydreaming, but you are not."
"It sounds like you know me well." Huo Xi rolled her eyes at him and stood up: "I'm busy with something. I'll talk to you when I'm done."
Gong Ziyi stood up and said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I will join you as my brother."
Huo Xi paused: "Are you coming with me? You have nothing to do?"
"What can I do? Isn't it what you said? I am a young master from a rich family. I have many people under my command. All I need to do is open my mouth. I am not short of food or clothing, so I am just waiting to die." He insisted on following her.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu looked at each other and had no choice but to let him follow.
She had been in Songjiang for many days, and it was time to go back. She could finish her business with Nok earlier so that she could set off earlier. She also remembered that the wet nurse said she didn't want to go back to the capital with her, for fear of being recognized, which would affect her and Huo's life.

I was thinking about how to arrange the nanny, but I felt that there were many things to do.
Gong Ziyi dismissed his entourage and followed Huo Xi and Yang Fu to the dock.
