Chapter 325: Going south to chase my wife
. The drama caused by Ru Lan completely relaxed the awkward atmosphere. Several girls and respectable maids all took turns to get on the carriage. Everyone was full of praise.
Princess Pingning held her own status, so of course she couldn't join in the fun, and she didn't want to stay any longer. After chatting for a few more words with Mrs. Sheng and the eldest lady, she and Qi Heng, who was a little distracted, came together. Left the Sheng family. The matter of asking Qi Heng to recognize his sister naturally dropped the matter.
Not to mention that Princess Pingning left the Sheng family in a depressed mood, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Sheng family who saw off Princess Pingning and her party had smiles on their faces.
After all, today is Changbai's happy day. Princess Pingning's visit did not give any face to the Sheng family. However, after Wang Yue interfered, Princess Pingning's idea failed.
Although Wang Yue is just a prostitute with no background, in the final analysis he is also a descendant of the Wang family in Fuzhou. Although they have moved to Suzhou, their bones are still broken and their tendons are broken. When it comes to proposing marriage, Wang Anshi comes in person. Of?
However, in this way, Minglan will not only offend Qi's mother, but the marriage between Minglan and Wang Yue will also spread. By then, Minglan will be the target of Wang Yue's admirers, which is really dangerous. This makes the old lady Somewhat worried.
The old lady suddenly thought that her nephew from Yueyang's hometown was getting married, so she took this opportunity to take Minglan to Yuyang's hometown and let Minglan stay with her for a while. Waiting for the big day in the spring of the new year, I just come back to get married. I think by that time, the storm will have passed, and there won't be so many things.
Wang Yue, who was drinking in the front, had no idea what was going on behind him. He also didn't expect that his newly engaged fiancée would run away to Youyang because of his romantic relationship.
After Wang Yue drank the wedding wine, he didn't care that he didn't receive a return gift from Minglan. He went to work as usual the next day.
After a few days, Wang Yue learned about what happened in the Sheng family from Chang Bai, who had finished his wedding leave.
Wang Yue was not like others who didn't know the news about the south. He had known for a long time that the south was not very peaceful. Wang Yue was really worried about what might happen to the women and children of the Sheng family if they encountered those bandits. , but there is his future wife in there.
Moreover, Wang Yue also suddenly remembered that although he had already sent a letter to Suzhou about his engagement, when he got married in the future, it would be too much trouble to carry the bride all the way back to Suzhou to get married.
Wang Yue wants to get married in Tokyo, but in this case, he also needs to go back to Suzhou and bring his father and mother to Tokyo.
There was some turmoil now, and he was still a little uneasy about having his parents take their servants on their way.
If the two elders really want to go back to Suzhou after they get married, then they can just send them back. I think I am in a hurry to have a grandson, so I will probably stay a little longer.
Wang Yue would never admit that he wanted to avoid the limelight. Even though Wang Yue and Minglan were engaged, they were still constantly harassed by matchmakers. He thought it would be better to leave the capital early and get married immediately when they came back, so that no one would harass them.
Wang Yue did what he thought of. After he made the decision, he found someone to buy the yard near his home and expanded it while he was away from Tokyo to facilitate his marriage.
Then, Wang Yue went to his immediate boss, Wang Anshi, to ask for leave.
After hearing Wang Yue's arrangement, Wang Anshi said with admiration, "We are indeed a family. Your boy went south to pursue his wife, just like I did back then." ...Although the waterway
to
Suzhou and Youyang are almost the same waterway, It's just that the Sheng family had already made plans, and Wang Yue's arrangements were a little hasty. By the time his ship was ready to go south, the big ship rented by the Sheng family had already been gone for half a day.
Fortunately, Wang Yue's fleet was all fast boats modified by Tianlong World. They traveled very fast and it didn't take long to catch up with the Sheng family ship on the waterway.
At this time, it was already very late, and it was not easy for Wang Yue to disturb her. He planned to go over to visit Mrs. Sheng early the next morning.
After Wang Yue arranged all the affairs, he was ready to go back to his cabin to rest. After all, it was getting late.
At this moment, Daniel suddenly ran over and even forgot to salute. He said a little anxiously, "Sir, I just got the news that there are water bandits on the river ahead. There are quite a lot of them. They seem to be preparing to hijack passing merchant ships." ."
Wang Yue was a little suspicious after hearing the report from his subordinates. There was turmoil in the Song Dynasty, which was a bit ridiculous. It was simply inexplicable that there would be water bandits on such an important tidal waterway.
However, it's not something to worry about at this time. After all, the Sheng family's big boat ahead is full of women and children, and they can't be frightened.
Without further ado, Wang Yue waved his hand and asked his men to drive a speedboat to guard the boat on which the Sheng family was traveling, guarding against the lone water bandits.
Wang Yue's clipper is actually a warship, but it has been slightly modified to look like an ordinary ship. In addition, Wang Yue's men were all good players, and the water bandits were eliminated as soon as they got on the boat.
The whole movement was very fast. The Sheng family didn't notice any movement at all, and the invading water bandits were completely eliminated here.
The boss of the big ship that the Sheng family was riding on did notice the fighting here, and also noticed that there were ships appearing on their left and right, but they didn't seem to be hostile. He was just on guard and did not contact Wang Yue's ship rashly.
However, the boat boss discovered that several clippers quickly dealt with the water bandits. Seeing the corpses falling into the river one after another, the boat boss felt chills all over.
After the surrounding clippers took care of the water bandits, they still followed the Sheng family's ship and did not leave. This made the ship boss and his brother a little suspicious, and they couldn't sleep well all night.
After a tense night, none of the boats made any movement. Early the next morning, the boats surrounding them slowly came closer, making the boss of the boat very nervous.
Fortunately, after the ship approached, someone quickly reported the identity of the clipper. Only then did the boss of the ship know that the people on the clipper were relatives of the Sheng family on board, and he felt relieved.
Old Mrs. Sheng heard that Wang Yue's visit was very different. She didn't understand why Wang Yue, a kid who didn't stay in the Imperial Academy, suddenly asked for leave to catch up with them. She looked at Minglan, who was blushing, and said with a smile, "Judging from his usual behavior, Wang Yue doesn't seem to be an impatient person. This engagement is different." Others listened to Mrs.
Sheng Then, they looked at Minglan with a smile, and everyone said that the sixth girl was so charming that her fiancé was eager to see Minglan.
At this time, a servant of the Sheng family came to report to Mrs. Song the situation last night, which frightened the female relatives present into a cold sweat.
By the time Wang Yue came in, Mrs. Sheng had returned to normal. She smiled and said, "I heard from my servants that last night was very dangerous. Fortunately, you arrived in time. Otherwise, we, the female relatives, would have really I don't know what to do."
Wang Yue looked at everyone and saw that they were not frightened, so he was relieved. He was really worried that the ancient women in this world could not stand this kind of fright.
Now it seems that although he was a little frightened, he was still advancing and retreating well. Wang Yue also praised him in his heart. Mrs. Sheng was indeed well-deserved. He quickly said humbly, "They are all young people, not worth mentioning." The old lady looked at
Wang Yue didn't want to say more, so she stopped mentioning this topic. Thinking of Wang Yue's sudden arrival, she asked curiously, "You're not in the capital, why did you suddenly go south?" After hearing this, Mrs.
Sheng When asked, Wang Yue smiled and said, "I heard that the old lady was leaving for Youyang again. I heard that the south is not peaceful recently. I thought that I would also take my parents to Tokyo, so I rushed up and escorted you all the way to Youyang. Yang. I just didn't expect that you were really in danger. Fortunately, I arrived in time. If the old lady has any arrangements on the road, be sure to tell me. I have some good information and know the situation in other places. "Old
lady She looked at Wang Yue with some suspicion. She didn't understand what Wang Yue meant. Wang Yue had been in the capital, so how could he have better information? Did the Wang family have other arrangements?
The old lady couldn't guess the reason, so she smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence. In Youyang's hometown, his cousin is also getting married tomorrow. My old sister heard that she was not in good health, so she thought Come and have a look."
Wang Yue saw that the old lady really had something to do when she went to Youyang, and not just to avoid trouble. He thought about it and asked, "How long will the old lady stay? The south is not peaceful right now. I'm not sure. Don't worry, why don't you wait for me when you go back? Let's go on the same road together."
The old lady was a little worried when she thought about what happened last night. After listening to Wang Yue's words, she looked at a few weird fast people in the distance. Zhou Chuan also had a clue in his mind, so he smiled and said, "Since you have arrangements, we can go together, so I'll ask you to send us to Youyang first and then back to Yangzhou." Wang Yue saw that the old lady was so transparent
, Knowing what he was worried about, he immediately made arrangements according to Wang Yue's wishes. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Why don't the old lady and Minglan move to the boy's boat? My boat is fast and stable. Maybe it will be better soon." Arrive at Youyang in the sun."
The old lady was a little hesitant. After all, there were a lot of people in their group, and Wang Yue's boat didn't look very big. Although there were a few boats, she didn't know if they could accommodate so many people.
Seeing the old lady looking at the boat outside, Wang Yue knew what the old lady was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Why don't the old lady go to my boat to visit first? If you are satisfied, you can move over." The old lady looked at Wang
Yue Yue's confident look reminded her of the carriage Wang Yue sent Minglan to. On the way to the dock this time, she and Minglan rode in it once, and it was more stable than the ride with Wang Yue some time ago.
Mrs. Sheng, who wanted to understand, no longer hesitated. She made a decision immediately and said to Wang Yue with a smile, "Since you invite her so kindly, we will not shirk anymore. We will pack our luggage and move to your ship. "
The boss of the ship heard that the people of the Sheng family were moving to Wang Yue's ship, and told them that they could go back to Tokyo directly, and they would be paid a penny of the ship fare. He was very happy to let his brothers, He helped the servants of the Sheng family carry their luggage, and after a while, they finished carrying it and left by boat.
