In the next two days, the official ship's mast has been replaced with a new one, and all the supplies on the ship have been prepared.
As for Wang Pu's mother's death, Chai Yan arranged for Ge Hong and others to help handle it, and everything went smoothly.
On the third day, it was the day when the official ship set sail again.
On this day, Sun Baoqian, the county magistrate of Guizhou Province, came specially to see him off. After all, after Hou Jingzhi's accident, he had been acting as the agent for the government affairs of Kuiyang County. When someone as important as Chai Yan left, he had to be present.
In addition, Wang Pu and Wang Xiaofen also arrived at the dock. They came mainly to see Guan Maochun off.
The father and daughter first thanked Chai Yan and his party and said goodbye, and then took Guan Maochun to a place with few people.
Before he spoke, Wang Pu saluted Guan Maochun.
"Uncle Wang, what are you doing?" Guan Maochun quickly lifted Wang Pu up to prevent him from continuing to salute.
Wang Pu still looked a little weak and said: "Maochun, Uncle Wang wants to ask you something..."
"Whatever you say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!" Guan Maochun said in a very cheerful tone.
Wang Pu was moved in his heart, turned to look at his daughter, and said: "Uncle Wang wants to ask you, if possible, to take care of Xiaofen in the future. It doesn't have to be too great, just let her have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and have enough to eat.
It is enough to have food..."
"Dad..." Wang Xiaofen's eyes filled with tears as soon as she heard her father's words.
Guan Maochun was very surprised and asked in surprise: "Uncle Wang, what do you mean by this?"
"Alas..." Wang Pu sighed and said feebly: "Maochun, having said this, Uncle Wang won't hide it from you. In fact, Uncle Wang has been ill, and the illness is quite serious.
Maybe one day Uncle Wang will... be gone..."
Guan Maochun said hurriedly: "Uncle Wang, don't say that. There are diseases that can be cured, why not..."
"Maochun, don't say anything yet. Listen to what Uncle Wang has to say..." Wang Pu interrupted Guan Maochun and continued: "What Uncle Wang means is that if one day I suddenly die of illness, then
What I am most worried about is Xiaofen. This child is sensible and well-behaved. If no one takes care of him and makes him suffer, I... I will not feel at ease even if I die..."
"Dad, don't say that! My daughter will take good care of you in the future, and you will live a long life." At this moment, there were two more lines of tears on Wang Xiaofen's face.
Guan Maochun also nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaofen is right. As long as you, Uncle Wang, take good care of yourself, you will definitely be healthy and live a hundred years."
Wang Pu smiled and shook his head, and asked very solemnly: "Maochun, if one day Uncle Wang no longer exists in this world, can you promise me to take good care of Xiaofen?"
"Uncle Wang, don't think too much, you will definitely be fine..." Guan Maochun said hurriedly.
Wang Pu's eyes suddenly became slightly moist, but he still calmed down and asked again: "Can you promise me? Maochun..."
Guan Maochun nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! I promise you that I will take good care of Xiaofen."
When Wang Pu heard this, he felt much relieved. He turned to his daughter and said, "Xiaofen, please promise dad that if dad is gone, you will go to the capital to find your brother Maochun, okay?"
Wang Xiaofen sobbed twice and nodded: "Okay..."
"Okay, this way, I feel relieved..."
Wang Pu solved the biggest problem in his heart and felt relieved immediately.
Not far away, Chai Yan, Hang Baiqiu and Sun Baoqiu were about to get on the boat after talking. Hang Baiqiu suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Xiaofen, who was sobbing.
Hang Baiqiu reached out and touched Chai Yan and said, "Hey, look, Miss Wang is crying so sadly..."
Chai Yan glanced at Wang Xiaofen and said calmly: "It's sad to say goodbye! What's so strange..."
Hang Baiqiu suddenly thought of something and said to Chai Yan worriedly: "By the way, do you think that if we leave like this, will Hou Jingzhi and the Lin family go to take revenge on their father and daughter?"
Chai Yan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have already considered this..."
"From what you say, you have already made arrangements?" Hang Baiqiu was slightly surprised.
Chai Yan nodded: "Yes! I said hello to Sun Baoqian in private last time, asking him to take good care of the Wang family and his daughter, and not let them be bullied..."
"Sun Baoqian?" Hang Baiqiu was surprised and asked, "Do you believe him? Aren't he and Hou Jingzhi on the same side?"
"How do you know they are together?" Chai Yan asked curiously.
Hang Baiqiu said immediately: "Didn't you see that when Sun Baoqian followed Hou Jingzhi last time when he went to Yunxian Restaurant, he was obedient and obeyed his words?"
Chai Yan said with a smile: "You are right, but that doesn't mean they are in the same boat!"
"What do you mean?" Hang Baiqiu didn't understand.
Chai Yan got closer to Hang Baiqiu and said in a low voice: "You don't know, right? After our local police officers took Hou Jingzhi away, Sun Baoqian had someone secretly send Hou Jingzhi's dirty information the next day.
......."
"Ah?" Hang Baiqiu was surprised: "This Sun Baoqian is so cruel!"
Chai Yan, however, looked unperturbed and said calmly: "Official circles have always been like this..."
"Sun Baoqian is such an insidious person, how dare you let him take care of Wang Pu and his daughter?" Hang Baiqiu became even more worried.
Chai Yan said: "You don't understand. Judging from my contacts in the past two days, Sun Baoqian is a fan of high officials at heart. All he thinks about is promotion, so that he will not ruin his official career because of Wang Pu and his daughter.
Oh! Besides, it’s not worth it. I entrusted him to take care of Wang Pu and his daughter.
, if something happens to the father and daughter, and the local police office spreads the news to my ears that he failed to take good care of people, wouldn’t he have greatly offended me? What good will that do to him? So, it’s better to sell me
This personal favor may still be of use when it comes to the capital in the future."
"Yeah, that's right..." Hang Baiqiu nodded.
Chai Yan looked up at the sky and said to Du Chuanping on the side: "Let me know, it's almost time to set off!"
"Understood, sir."
After hearing this, Du Chuanguan immediately informed the Cangtou people to get busy.
Just when Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu were about to board the ship, Guan Maochun came over at a trot: "Sir..."
Chai Yan turned around and said casually: "Are you done saying goodbye? Once you're done, let's get on the boat and we're about to set off..."
Guan Maochun said quickly: "Sir, I want to tell you something..."
"What's the matter?" When Chai Yan heard this, he turned around and looked directly at Guan Maochun: "Well, what's the matter? Tell me!"
Guan Maochun said: "Sir, I want to leave your address in the capital to Wang Xiaofen. Maybe one day she...she will come to the capital to find me..."
Chai Yan couldn't help but glance at Wang Pu and his daughter in the distance and asked, "Why?"
Guan Maochun knew that Chai Yan would ask why, so he said: "I just promised Uncle Wang that when Xiaofen is alone in the future, I will take good care of her, so I think..."
"...I understand! Go tell her and let her remember it. Don't make a mistake. The capital is a big city and it's hard not to have an address!"
Chai Yan readily agreed without waiting for him to finish his words.
Guan Maochun suddenly beamed with joy, nodded vigorously and said: "I understand, sir. Thank you, sir. I will tell them right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Maochun turned around and ran over to talk to Wang Pu and Wang Xiaofen.
Chai Yan looked at the three of them for a while, then turned to Hang Baiqiu beside him and said, "Let's get on the boat..."
Hang Baiqiu nodded lightly and followed Chai Yan across the gangplank and boarded the ship.
