74.Chapter 74 Dismissal of power——Beat the roadblock【01】
Chu Jigong cupped his hands, and then watched Shen Mingzhu pedal away with Suxue's support.
Nowadays, Shen Mingzhu's team is even stronger. There were originally twenty nursing homes, but now there are twenty more. This time, there are more than fifty people, which is huge and quite spectacular.
They chartered a boat from Huaiyang to go north. For the convenience of sailing, she directly asked people to hang up the lanterns of the Shen family's prime minister's house. Other boats along the way would give way to her, and some people even sent messages to find out which member of the Shen family was traveling.
Shen Mingzhu was nowhere to be seen.
Thanks to Chu Ji's favor, the journey was uneventful. In early August, the group arrived in Tongzhou.
They disembarked from Tongzhou and then took a horse-drawn carriage to the capital, which took more than half a day.
Before arriving in Tongzhou, she had already sent people to take a speed boat to Tongzhou first, and then sent a message to Shen's house to ask her brother to pick her up.
Naturally, she didn't expect the prime minister, his wife, and other young ladies in the prime minister's mansion to pay attention. She just asked her brother to come.
She doesn't care about others either.
Tongzhou is an important place in Gyeonggi Province, connected by the North-South Grand Canal, and is the gateway to the capital.
Ships traveling from north to south all dock here, either selling goods here or selling goods outside the pass.
It was very busy with official ships, merchant ships and private ships coming and going.
In order to maintain order, a large number of official boats were responsible for maintaining order, allowing the official ships to pass first, while the merchant ships detained and questioned them carefully. It would be good if they could extort more money and goods.
Because Shen Mingzhu was on an official ship and had the banner of the Prime Minister's Office, plus a seal issued by the old family head, and her forty bodyguards were neat and serious, outsiders did not dare to look down upon her.
So the guards just did a routine inspection and then let them go.
Naturally, Zhang Huai expressed his gratitude and left a total of one thousand taels of silver for them, "Master, this is what our eldest lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion invites you to have tea with. Thank you for your hard work."
Although his expression was serious and he said this bluntly without any intention of flattery, he was the guardian of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the guards were naturally flattered.
"Hey, Miss, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Although they were polite, they still accepted it with a smile.
When female relatives travel together, especially those from wealthy families, they naturally look down on small servants like them and leave less money.
This young lady is very generous.
When these people thought about it, they really wanted to see the beauty of the eldest lady of the prime minister's house.
But a wealthy and famous lady will naturally not let others look at her casually. Even if she is not taken seriously at home, it is the reputation of the prime minister's house when she goes out, so she must pay attention to her.
Before coming, the seventh uncle asked Mr. Guo to carefully explain the rules to Shen Mingzhu.
With the guidance of their nuns, they felt that Shen Mingzhu would not be too far behind.
Naturally, they don't know that Shen Mingzhu followed the rules very well before his rebirth, and even the Queen was full of praise.
What's more, she has also been a princess and a queen.
The Xiang Fei bamboo curtain was hung on the boat, with white gauze hanging low inside. They could only see a few women and maids busy packing suitcases and cages there, but they did not see the eldest lady.
They couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, she was the only one they met on this canal that was knowledgeable, didn't despise them, and didn't care about secular rules.
Shen Mingzhu was covered with a black gauze fence by Suxue (audio secret). Because it is a pier where clouds and dragons are mixed, even if there is a special passage to avoid being looked at by other people waiting,
