Chapter 273
Lingzhou Prefecture Ferry

After resting overnight in the city, I packed up the next day and arrived at the pier ferry.

At this moment, many people have gathered on the pier.

They weren't the first ones to come, but they saw Tan Min and others just as they got off the carriage.

"Brother Deer—"

Everyone came over to say hello one by one, and at the same time said hello to Xia Xiaoqiao.

"Are you all ready? Why don't you see Brother Zhou?"

As a result, as soon as the words were said, Wei Qing smiled and pointed to the back: "Here we come, we come, Brother Zhou?"

Everyone turned to look.

After Zhou Sheng got off the carriage, he hurried over and cupped his fists and said, "I'm really sorry for being late."

"This is a bitch."

After speaking, he pointed to the woman with a power hat who followed behind her and introduced it with a smile.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, but Wei Qing said with a surprised face: "Brother Zhou, didn't you say that you are the only one going to Beijing this time? Why is your wife also here?"

After hearing this, Zhou Sheng's smile froze on his face.

Seeing this, Tan Min hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Are you stupid? What else could it be? Of course you can't bear it?"

"Look at Brother Lu, don't you also take care of your family?"

"That's what you, an unmarried stunned young man, can ask."

After Tan Min finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Seeing this, Zhou Sheng's lady stepped forward and made a half-respect, "You are the younger sister of the Xia family, right? I heard that you are very capable. Not only did you help the village grow tea and raise crabs, but you also came out to find Good buyer, not only that, I heard that hundreds of disaster victims were taken in, and brought back to the village along the road from Lingzhou Prefecture. I am afraid that ordinary men may not be able to do this one by one, but my sister and a woman can do it. It’s done well, it’s really a hero among women, unlike me, I can only be a housewife with my duties, and I can’t do any of these things.”

As soon as these words fell, Zhou Sheng froze in place.

The others didn't think much about it, because they also felt that Xia Xiaoqiao was really good.

Only Lu Jingyuan raised his eyes to look at the other party, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Sheng.

His eyes were full of inquiry.

"Hui Niang—"

Zhou Sheng's voice was deep and warning, and then he smiled and said to Xia Xiaoqiao: "I made my younger siblings laugh, your sister-in-law is straightforward, don't mind!"

"Brother Zhou, you're being polite. My sister-in-law doesn't need to envy me. These are just trivial matters. A little bit of effort is nothing to worry about."

They say they don't hit smiling people with their hands, and this lady from Zhou Sheng's family praised her as soon as she came up. Although the words were weird, Xia Xiaoqiao didn't intend to bother with her.

And the woman named Hui Niang gritted her teeth tightly after hearing this, who is envious?I really put gold on my face.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he smiled on his face, and pulled Xia Xiaoqiao up and said, "Look, sister Xia is really a generous person, oh yes, why don't you go to Beijing this time on the same boat as us?"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the ferry and said, "This time Zhou Lang went to Beijing to rush for the exam. The family was worried, so we rented a big boat, fearing that his journey would be difficult. However, we are not many people, so we let the servants squeeze, so we can still have two rooms free. , anyway, it's empty, so it's better to go with us, the boat fare is not cheap, and your big family can save some money."

After saying this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Zhou Sheng even sternly said directly, "Huiniang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why am I talking nonsense? I also mean it well. After all, going to Beijing to rush to the imperial court is only a payment of twenty taels of silver. As for Sister Xia's family, it's a little bit more economical. You and Lu Jieyuan are good brothers. Why not Think about him?"

Although every word she said was for the sake of Xia Xiaoqiao's family, but in front of so many people, let her family squeeze into the cabin where Zhou's servants lived?
This is a serious step on the face of Lu Jingyuan and Xia Xiaoqiao.

Luo Wenjing laughed out loud after hearing this, "Haha, sister-in-law of the Zhou family is really kind, tsk tsk, yes, Brother Lu comes from a slightly cold background, so it's good to be able to help, but let's forget about the cabin you live in for the servants."

"Brother Lu, how about staying with me, I will give you the best cabin?"

"Of course, I don't need Brother Lu's thanks, as long as Miss Xia can cook one or two small dishes in her free time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Min quit.

"Luo Wenjing, you think beautifully."

"If you want to come, you have to come to my son's cabin, okay?"

"Brother Lu, how about the two of us on a boat? I don't ask much, my sister-in-law occasionally, just occasionally, when I make you supper, I'm satisfied if I can take a little bit with me, really—"

Seeing this, Luo Wenjing pushed the person away, "Hey, you, do you know what it means to come first, first come first?"

"What comes first, first come first? Did brother Lu agree to you? Since I didn't agree, I have a chance, should you take care of it?"

The two barely quarreled over it.

They scrambled to get Lu Jingyuan and Xia Xiaoqiao on the same boat with them, and even bid for the price, which made them feel more comfortable.

Zhou Sheng's face on the side was livid, and the handkerchief of that Hui Niang almost tore into pieces.

"Two, two wait a moment—"

"Waiting for what? Who are you—"

Tan Min was about to scold someone, but he was stunned when he saw it clearly, "You, aren't you Yingxi from Xiangmanlou? Why are you here?"

As soon as the words fell, it all looked to him.

And Yingxi chuckled and said, "Young master Tan has good eyesight, that's why I'm here."

"Isn't this Lady Xia's family going to Beijing for the exam? Our princess is not at ease, so he prepared a merchant ship early, and specially ordered the villain to escort him to Beijing safely."

"So, I won't bother you guys!"

After speaking, he bowed to Xia Xiaoqiao and said, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Xia, please—"

When Luo Wenjing and Tan Min heard this, they immediately sighed, with regretful expressions on their faces.

While Zhou Sheng's expression was slumped, Yu Huiniang froze in place.

"Princess? What princess?"

Zhou Sheng said with a livid face, "Shut up, or I'll send someone back to you."

Yu Huiniang gritted her teeth angrily, but she didn't speak after all.

He could only follow behind silently.

"So many ships? Which one is ours?"

Xia Xiaoqiao glanced at it, and at the moment there were no less than a dozen ships, large and small, docked at the pier.

In her previous life, she only worked on scull boats and awning boats, and she usually only had opportunities in tourist attractions.

And such large routes are all large ships.

Such a large sailing ship has only been seen in museums.

"Miss Xia, the front one is the one. The princess deliberately told you to leave it before going to Beijing. It is the best boat of the Fang family, and it is comfortable to sit on."

"Your princess has gone to Beijing?"

Xia Xiaoqiao was a little surprised, but Yingxi smiled and said, "Yes, the urging from the capital is urgent, otherwise the Princess would like to go to Beijing with you, isn't there a companion on the way?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it over respectfully, and said, "This is written by the princess before leaving, so the villain must hand it over to you."

Yes--

The last time she was drinking, Lingshan also said that her father had sent a letter from Jingli and wanted her to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

I didn't expect to go so fast.

"I'm sorry to bother you princess."
