"We've arrived at Guazhou Pier!" Huo Xi was very excited.
Arriving at Guazhou Pier? Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu were also excited and stretched their necks to look forward.
On both sides of the pier ahead, various vendors could be heard calling for business.
Boatmen, porters, carriages, vendors, common people, merchants, wealthy families traveling from south to north to Yangzhou, mothers-in-law, maids, servants, and young men... the figures were full of people, and it was extremely lively.
Various shops line up on the pier, with shop flags flying.
This is Guazhou.
After getting off the boat at Guazhou Pier, take a carriage or boat into the inland river, and then you can reach Yangzhou city, right?
She wanted to go ashore and visit Yangzhou City. Huo Xi never blinked.
Everyone's hand in rocking the boat also slowed down. They have never been to Guazhou, but who hasn't heard of Yangzhou? Fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March, and they have arrived in Yangzhou.
It’s a rare visit and I want to go ashore and have a look.
"Don't stop, speed up!" The escort officer stared back and forth on the boat and ordered sternly.
If something goes wrong with this grain shipment, those who lead and escort it will be the first to bear the brunt of the anger from above. Moreover, there are time limits for the ships to arrive at each warehouse, and those who violate the limit will be punished.
No one dares to neglect.
They were not allowed to stay, and the convoy officer and escort officer urged them urgently, so everyone had to rush forward.
Huo Xi felt a little regretful that she could not go ashore. But after thinking about it, she felt relieved. She would come back to Yangzhou one day.
Looking back again, the river was densely packed with boats. It was unknown whether the first batch of boats had left the lock. While waiting to pass the lock, Huo Xi found many civilian boats docked far away.
Waiting by the river.
You should pass through the canal boats first and then the civilian boats.
As a result, they don't know how long they will have to wait when they return from Huai'an.
Just looking at today's situation, it will probably take quite a while to wait to cross the gate in Huai'an.
I originally thought that it would take two days to arrive, and the return trip would be light, so I could return to the capital in four days at most. But now it seems that I am afraid that is not possible.
I don't know if anything will happen to Yang and Nian'er.
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you?"
"We still don't know when we can return to the capital. I'm worried about mother and Nian'er."
When Yang Fu heard this, he fell silent. Huo Erhuai also fell silent, then smiled again to comfort the two children.
"It's okay. Your mother is an adult now, and we are in a separate house. What can happen? Your mother is not an ordinary weak woman. Don't worry. We will be able to go back soon."
Nothing happened to the Yang family. If anything happened, Mu Gan, who was lying on the roof, would help solve it.
Mu Yan came out of the Imperial College that day with a stern face. In the monthly examination, except for the two subjects of imperial examination and archery, he got above average, while other subjects such as etiquette and music were only average or below.
That feeling of depression in my heart.
I was walking on the street, looking for a place to have a good meal, listen to a book, and relieve the depression in my chest.
Suddenly, Wu Youcai was seen coming out of a restaurant and getting into a carriage, with servants lying on the ground to serve as stools for him.
Mu Yan narrowed his eyes coldly.
Even the pickled things were displayed as items belonging to the royal family and nobles.
He glanced at Li Yikaner behind him. The two understood each other and shook their heads almost invisible.
Mu Yan then entered the restaurant with his hands behind his back.
Soon Jing Zhaoyin received news that someone was secretly buying and selling boys and persecuting them cruelly.
Jing Zhaoyin was shocked when he heard this. Who dares to do such a thing in the capital?
Why do they want to buy and sell boys and also harm them? Human traffickers only want to abduct people and sell them for money, but they don’t harm their lives. Who would harm their lives? What kind of evil organization is this? Jing Zhaoyin broke out in a cold sweat and felt
Either the black gauze hat is guaranteed or not.
Immediately ordered the officials to go and check.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, everyone kept their tail between their legs, fearing that something had gone wrong and the new emperor would clean it up. The officials at the top and bottom were living in dire straits, and they were all conscientious and diligent.
Moreover, it has already entered October, and next month the new emperor will hold a grand ceremony for the conferment of the queen. Everywhere in the capital can only be seen as a scene of peace and prosperity. Even beggars are rare on the streets. How dare anyone dare to cause trouble?
Very brave!
Soon, everything in the capital was cleaned.
Wu Youcai gave up all his wealth and finally managed to get rid of himself.
Before he could take a breath, Mr. Wu called him into the Xincheng Marquis Mansion and gave him a severe scolding.
Wu pointed at Wu Youcai's nose and scolded: "Do you have any brains! Can you make such a big deal? Do you think your sister and I are too secure in our position? Or do you think the Wu family is now among the officials and doesn't need me?
Did my sister help?"
Wu's anger had nowhere to spread.
Does this idiot do things without any brains?
Is it easy for a concubine to take the position of Madam Hou? Even if she goes out to socialize every day, spends money and gives out gifts like water, there are only a few ladies who are willing to talk to her.
This idiot was not careful in his actions and almost gave people a clue.
"Sister, I've taken care of everything. They can't be traced to me, let alone you. Don't worry." Wu Youcai didn't care.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she raised her hand and threw a tea cup to the ground.
There was a crisp snap.
"idiot!"
I didn't realize what I had done wrong at all, and thought I was very smart.
Wu Youcai was almost scratched by the fragments of the teacup and shivered in fright. Ever since his sister became Madam Hou, her aura has become more and more fierce.
"Do you think it's easy for me, your sister, every step I take? That old guy is always staring at me, waiting for me to make a mistake. The middle-aged man is also keeping a close eye on me. Whenever I get more belongings, I just ask questions, but you still behave well.
You don’t know the slightest bit of caution!”
It's too bad that she doesn't even have anyone available. Otherwise, how could a stupid thing like Wu Youcai be used?
Wu Youcai didn't take it seriously: "She's an old thing, from a widow's family. My brother-in-law is still in the North. It's up to you whether this will be the Marquis's house or not in the future. Besides, aren't you also holding her hand?"
"What do you know! Her good daughter has been promoted to a noble concubine, and her other two sons, one in the Shence Guard and the other in the Jinyi Guard, are both very powerful. Which of the two daughters-in-law is not higher than your sister? They are still thinking of going to Yanbei to give birth to a daughter-in-law.
Your brother-in-law is giving a girl away!"
When Wu talked about this, her heart became even more angry.
That old thing is guarding her.
Fortunately, the old man has a good reputation and a good reputation. Doesn't she have any control over her? She also has a son and a daughter by her side, and Mrs. Hou's position is secure, so she is not afraid.
But it can't be resisted by some idiots in my parents' family holding me back.
"Stop the search now. Even if these two bastards are alive, what kind of trouble can they make? As long as they dare to show up, I will send them to accompany the Li family."
Wu Youcai nodded. It really shouldn't be too showy. Just be more concealed.
"Sister, can you give me some more money? This time, I have spent money everywhere, and my family has been depleted."
