Chapter 187: By the Yongshui River, the Old Father Arrives (Part 1)

When Xiao Xuan revealed the plan, Xiao Bi was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She had previously asked Qingzhao to prepare a set of men's clothing and put it in the carriage, hoping to sneak out and ride after the transfer.

If she followed Brother Xiaowu's wishes, wouldn't she have to stay in the carriage for more than half a month?

Xiao Xuan was amused by her appearance.

"My eldest sister specifically told me not to let you ride a horse. She said that although the weather is cold now, the sun is very hot. If you ride a horse for half a month, you will definitely turn into a little black coal by then.

Second brother Huan is born fair, if you don't want to be laughed at, just go horseback riding, I promise not to hold you back."

Xiao Bi lowered the sedan curtain and said angrily: "Xiao Xiaowu, just wait for me!"

Xiao Xuan smiled and kicked the horse's belly, then went to help Xiao Can and Cao Jie.

After about a while of drinking tea, the common people stepped back more than ten feet and finally let the official way out.

The wedding procession moved forward for another five miles, and Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan changed carriages.

Both carriages were gifts from Emperor Tianqing. They were not only gorgeous and spacious, but also very stable in driving.

Moreover, it is fully equipped with all daily necessities, and it is completely like a smaller boudoir.

Hua Xiaohan has liked peace and quiet since she was a child. For her, life in a carriage is not much different from that at home.

Xiao Bi was so idle that she even threw away her favorite playbook and spent more than half of the day sleeping.

After seven or eight days of this, she had finally had enough sleep.

She told Qingzhao and the others to stay well while she went to Hua Xiaohan's carriage.

Hua Xiaohan was having sex with Chuixue, and when he saw her laziness, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I thought you should have come to me a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to persist until the eighth day."

Xiao Bi tilted her body and hit her chin directly on Hua Xiaohan's shoulder.

"What are you trying to do?"

Hua Xiaohan was already a little thin, and Xiao Bi's chin was a little sharp, so her shoulders suddenly felt itchy and painful.

She pushed Xiao Wei away and said with a smile: "I have only been away from Beijing for a few days, and you have changed a lot. I used to feel that you were full of energy, as if you never ran out of energy.

Now it feels like someone has cramped your muscles and bones, and even I can push you."

Liu Xia brought a few plates of snacks and said with a smile: "I also feel that the princess has changed a lot. In the past, how could you care about such trivial matters as Luo Zi's tricks?"

"Alas -" Xiao Bi fell down on the small couch: "You are all wrong, I am just bored and have slept too much in the past few days, and my bones have become soft from sleep."

Chuixue chuckled and said, "Then you still plan to continue sleeping?"

Xiao Bi stretched and sat up again: "I'm really convinced by you. I don't have to worry about damaging my eyes even if I do needlework all day long."

Hua Xiaohan handed the bag in front of her: "Do you like this pattern?"

Xiao Bi took a look. Although the appearance of the plum blossoms was not complicated, the rare thing was that the color matching was very particular, which added a bit of sophistication to the Luozi.

She smiled and said, "If I say you like it, are you going to give it to me?"

Hua Xiaohan stuffed the plum blossom into her hand: "I originally planned to give it to you, otherwise why would I have spent so much effort?"

"Then I'm not welcome." Xiao Bi stuffed the bag into her sleeve.

Hua Xiaohan added: "I never like to go out. I haven't even been out of the capital a few times. I just want to ask you, when can we arrive in Yongzhou?"

Xiao Bi said with a bad smile: "It turns out that little Huahua misses Aji!"

"Fuck you!" Hua Xiaohan said with a red face: "If you don't want to tell me, forget it, but you are just talking nonsense!"

Xiao Bi said: "Don't be angry, why don't I tell you?

According to our current speed, it will take about four days to reach Yongzhou.

But this place is not far from Yongshui. We should be able to reach the riverside at noon tomorrow.

Then hire a few large ferry boats and you'll be able to reach the other shore in no time.

The land on the other side is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and the terrain will become flatter and flatter, so our progress will definitely be faster."

Hua Xiaohan nodded: "That's good. Although the carriage given by His Majesty is comfortable, the terrain here is not flat enough, and sometimes the bumps are very uncomfortable."

The two talked about other things, and a few hours passed quickly.

Xiao Bi's judgment was very accurate, and the group arrived at Yongshui at noon the next day.

Cao Jie had already sent people to hire a dozen large boats in advance, and they were all docked at the shore and waiting.

Xiao Bi and Hua Xiaohan got off the carriage and walked a hundred steps along the river bank to stretch their muscles.

After lunch, several stewards directed the servants to transport the dowry to the ship.

After about an hour, all the dowry had been loaded on the ship, and Cao Jie personally came to invite Xiao Pei and others to board the ship.

Just as Xiao Bi was about to get up, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from far away on the official road.

Xiao Xuan put his hands on the awning and looked over, his expression slightly changing.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiaowu?" Xiao Bi also stood up and looked over.

Before Xiao Xuan could answer, she had already clearly seen the appearance of the man on the horse.

Xiao Zhong?

He is a servant of the Duke's mansion, and he is also the steward next to his father.

You don't need to ask to know that he must have been chased here on his father's orders.

Xiao Bi narrowed her eyes and ordered: "General Cao, please escort Wenyuanhou's boat to cross the river first to avoid wasting time. I have some things to deal with."

Cao Jie knew Xiao Zhong, so he knew his purpose without even thinking.

It is difficult for an upright official to intervene in household affairs, let alone the household affairs of the Duke's government. How can others interfere?

"Yes, Princess." He was a very discerning person. He hugged his fists and led the Hua family brothers and sisters onto the boat.

Not long after, Xiao Zhong came to the river.

He got off his horse and saluted the Xiao brothers and sisters.

"The young one has met the Duke, the fifth master, the seventh master, the eighth master, the princess, and the two young masters."

Xiao Can frowned and winked at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan nodded and took Xiao Yan, Xiao Shuo and his two nephews onto the Xiao family's boat.

Xiao Bi raised her hand: "Uncle Zhong, there's no need to be polite. Why are you here when you're not waiting by my father's side?"

Xiao Zhong said hurriedly: "The elder has always wanted to meet the princess, but he has never found the opportunity.

I originally planned to go back to the palace before the princess left Beijing, but I was afraid of making the old Duke unhappy.

So the eldest master has been following the wedding procession, just to give you a ride, after all, the father and daughter are together..."

Xiao Bi sneered.

After his father suffered several losses, he really learned the lesson.

Everyone knew that he gave up his title to his eldest son because he was seriously ill.

At this time, if he openly started to cause trouble in the capital, they would certainly not benefit, and he would not have any hope of living a good life.

There are few people here and there are even fewer nosy people, so it is a good place to talk.

Xiao Can said: "Xiaojiu, why don't you get on the boat first? I'll be here."
