Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

"Farewell?"

Shen Nankui was stunned. After taking a closer look, he discovered that there were indeed two packages on the horse's back.

"Mr. Cai, are you going to leave Cang County?"

Cai Ling nodded, "That's right. Cai is a free-spirited person and has always aspired to travel all over the world. Now, I have stayed in Cang County for several months. Now it is time to leave."

After saying that, he glanced at the four guards beside Shen Nankui's carriage and asked in confusion, "Miss Shen brought so many people with her, I'm afraid she's not going to the academy, right?"

Shen Nankui smiled, "What a coincidence! Like Mr. Cai, I also have to travel far away."

Cai Ling asked in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"Yongzhou, Jiangnan."

"Why do you want to go so far away? Do you have relatives or friends there?"

Shen Nankui shook his head. "I'm not going here to visit relatives or friends. You only know that Yanxia Pavilion is my property, but you don't know that I built the supply workshop in Yongzhou. There are some problems there right now, so I have to go there."

"I see."

Cai Ling glanced at her and suddenly said, "What a coincidence! I am also heading south."

Hearing this, Shen Nankui's eyes lit up, "Really?"

He then asked hurriedly, "Where is Mr. Cai going to Jiangnan?"

"Suzhou."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "The Records of Wu County says that heaven is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou are the two places that combine the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. Mr. Cai will surely create another masterpiece when he goes there."

Cai Ling nodded. "The spring water is bluer than the sky, and I sleep on a painted boat listening to the rain. It's the perfect time to go to the south of the Yangtze River during this season, when the plum rains continue. It's a good time to appreciate the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River."

Hearing his description, Shen Nankui couldn't help but fantasize and whispered: "Although Yongzhou doesn't have the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, so it must have a different kind of scenery."

You may not know anything else, but Yongzhou is rich in flowers, so the local cosmetics business is also the most prosperous.

In her previous life, she lived in the capital and had never been to a place with four seasons of spring. Now, she would take this opportunity to go and broaden her horizons.

Cai Ling looked at her but said nothing.

Shen Nankui asked sincerely: "Mr. Cai, do you have anything else to say?"

Cai Ling: “…”

Just now when she heard me say that I was going south, she looked very happy, why did she act as if nothing had happened now?

He coughed lightly and said casually, "You and I are leaving on the same day, and we are both going to the south of the Yangtze River. It can be considered a fate. Suzhou and Yongzhou are on the same route. Why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other. What do you think, Miss Shen?"

Shen Nankui was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "It would be great if Mr. Cai could come with us, but I have urgent business to attend to on my way south, so I'm afraid I won't be on the road for too long. I'm afraid I'll disturb Mr. Cai's leisure time."

"It's okay. I don't plan to go anywhere else on the way."

Hearing this, Shen Nankui raised his hands and clasped them together, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Cai to take care of me."

As the sun rises, more and more people appear on the road.

Cai Ling smiled slightly, "This is not the place to talk. I asked my followers to go to Baima Peak yesterday to deliver something to Taoist Qiu. He should be waiting for me outside the city gate now. Let's go out of the city first. We can talk on the way if we have anything to say."

Shen Nankui nodded, "Okay."

Cai Ling nodded at her, pulled the reins to turn the horse around, and disappeared at the alley in an instant.

He Hua murmured and sighed: "It's really a coincidence, young lady. Mr. Cai is so skilled. With him accompanying us, we will be safe."

Hearing her say this, Shen Nankui frowned slightly.

“Isn’t it too coincidental?”

He Hua cleared his throat, "Who can say for sure about fate? Everything has its reasons!"

Shen Nankui rolled her eyes at her, "You're getting even more naughty. You're actually making up stories about me. Mr. Cai and I are just old friends. Stop talking nonsense."

"I am not saying anything nonsense. I saw you off in the capital, helped you on a rainy night, and now we are traveling together southward. Mr. Cai's concern for you is not like that of an ordinary friend."

Shen Nankui shook his head helplessly, "Hehua, it's fine if you say these words in front of me, but don't mention them again outside. I'm a divorced person, and if other people hear about it, it will damage Mr. Cai's reputation."

"I see."

Although Hehua agreed, he didn't think so in his heart.

My daughter is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is talented and has learned how to do business. She is good in everything. Could it be that after divorcing Gu Yichuan, she will never marry again?

In her opinion, her girl would definitely meet someone who was a hundred or a thousand times better than Gu Yichuan.

Now this Mr. Cai is young, handsome, and has an extraordinary bearing. He is a good match for the girl. His temperament seems a little cold, but he is very patient when dealing with the girl.

Shen Nankui didn't let her say it, so she pondered in her heart...

……

After leaving the city, Shen Nankui indeed saw Cai Ling waiting for her not far away, with a young man on horseback beside him, who must be the follower he mentioned.

As the carriage approached, the two teams met up and continued on the road together.

Shen Nankui lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Mr. Cai, judging from the way you two are dressed, I'm sure you've long been accustomed to traveling around the country."

Both of them were traveling lightly on horseback.

I don’t know why, but Cai Ling’s follower had a strange look on his face and kept following behind from a distance.

Cai Ling smiled, "I have never valued material possessions. Bringing too many things would only make them a burden."

"Mr. Cai is aloof from the world, which is admirable."

Cai Ling glanced at her and said, "I was born in the countryside and grew up in the underworld. To put it in a nice way, I am aloof from the world, but in fact, I am just a rough man and do not deserve such a compliment from Miss Shen."

Shen Nankui smiled, looked at the attendant again, and asked, "Mr. Cai, is your attendant worried about something?"

After traveling for such a long time, the follower was either riding alone in front or far behind everyone else, and he never even looked at them straight in the face.

Shen Nankui vaguely felt that he seemed unfriendly to his group.

Cai Ling looked helpless, "Excuse me Miss Shen, my follower is called Hei Niu, he has always had a bad temper, and I don't know why he got mad today and put on such a face, Miss Shen, you don't have to pay attention to him."

"Black Bull?"

Shen Nankui was slightly surprised to hear the name.

Judging from the age of the attendant, he seems to be about the same as Zhongshan, and has a handsome and fair complexion. Why is he called this name? Could it be that Cai Ling gave it to him?

Seeing her looking at him with strange eyes, Cai Ling immediately guessed what she was thinking and laughed, "It's not me. When I rescued him on the street, he was just over ten years old. He was called this name at that time. I wanted to change it, but he didn't want to. He said that this was the name his parents gave him. Even though his parents are gone, he still wants to use the name they gave him."

Shen Nankui nodded and sighed, "It can be regarded as a memory."

At noon, a group of people rested on the grass by the roadside.

Seeing that the attendant was far away, Hehua kindly took two pieces of snacks and gave them to him, but the latter refused to accept them.

He Hua thought he was embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "Eat it, it's okay. My daughter asked me to buy it in the city yesterday. It's getting hot, so it won't keep for a few days. My daughter gave it to everyone, so you don't need one more. Take it quickly."

When the attendant heard this, he became annoyed and dropped the snack in her hand to the ground.

"I'm not a big deal. Stop trying to win people's hearts. I don't need you!"

He Hua's expression changed immediately, "How can you be so ungrateful?"
