Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu took a comfortable hot bath in the inn and ate a normal meal before driving the carriage to the port.

The three waited at the port for a while, and then the merchant came in person, nodded and bowed and sent the people aboard, even their carriage was pulled onto the boat, and two horses and a mule were sold to the merchant at a low price. .

It is said to be a low price, but in fact the businessman did not dare to lower the price too much, it was only a little lower than the market price, fully interpreting the image of a businessman who is afraid of the martial arts but greedy for profit.

Such things are not uncommon in the Jianghu. These businessmen inevitably need the support of the Jianghu people when they travel north and south, and the Jianghu people take money from the merchants.

Otherwise, where do they get the money if they don't do production?

Generally, Jianghu people still need to rely on wealthy businessmen, and their status is slightly lower than that of businessmen, but the sects with greater power are the objects that rich businessmen are vying to please.

Just like they please high-ranking officials, high-ranking officials can give them asylum in the officialdom, and the martial arts can give them protection in the arena. This is a win-win situation.

The businessman's attitude towards such people has always been to please them if they can please them, and they will never take the initiative to offend them if they can't please them.

Lingtianmen happened to belong to the Martial School, so sharp-eyed people saw that the businessman was so respectful to Li Baolu and his party, and immediately set them as people who could not be offended when they heard behind them.

Gu Jingyun has power in the officialdom, and Li Baolu has power in the world. Who will offend them if they are full?

The owner of the merchant ship personally welcomed the two of them onto the ship, and did not complain at all about their carriage, which took up a lot of space. Instead, they asked them to put it away properly and covered them with an oilcloth, so as not to be exposed to the wind and sun.

He also personally arranged a comfortable large cabin for them, and asked the boatman to help Nanfeng put the two big baskets picked by the buddy into the cabin.

Li Baolu was slightly surprised, she didn't expect the businessman to have so much face that the owner of the merchant ship treated them so well.

However, Gu Jingyun was keenly aware that although the owner of the merchant ship also respected him, they flattered Baolu even more, so he couldn't help but look at Nanfeng with slightly raised eyebrows.

Nanfeng received his master's gaze, and showed a more grateful smile to the boatman who helped him. After the owner of the merchant ship left, he put his arm on the boatman's shoulder and said, "Thank you so much, brother. If it weren't for your help, we would definitely not be able to get on the boat..."

While talking about it again, he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand. The boatman was overjoyed, declined a bit, accepted the money, and said with a smile on his face: "You are welcome, little brother. You are young and lack strength. How can you work hard in the future?" Just call me, and I'll help you."

"Thank you so much, big brother. My master came out in a hurry this time, so he didn't have time to bring a few more people..." As he spoke, he walked out with the boatman shoulder to shoulder, and disappeared from the sight of Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun after a while.

Only then did the two of them look at the two large baskets placed on the board.

Gu Jingyun asked: "What are they?"

"I don't know," Li Baolu squatted down and looked through, "I prepared them according to the list given by Master."

Li Baolu picked out the same things and found that there were two small pots, rice noodles, oil and salt, bacon, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits, tea leaves, dried vegetables, jams, peanut butter and sesame paste...

Li Baolu also found a stove, a retractable fishing rod, bait sealed in a jar, and two jugs of wine in another large basket. Li Baolu smelled it, one was jujube wine, and the other was chrysanthemum wine. A piece of sackcloth was placed in the middle, and when it was lifted, it was covered with charcoal.

Li Baolu: "..."

Compared with the master, the things she wanted to prepare were instantly reduced to scum. Jiang is old and hot.

Gu Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that mother will not suffer hardships on the journey."

"Don't forget that I learned my ability to survive in the wild from my master." Li Baolu tidied up her things, turned her head and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Let's eat some green vegetables, we rarely eat them on the road."

"Okay." Li Baolu glanced at the cabin, seeing that there were only wooden planks and straw mats on the bed, she went up and pressed it, then turned around and went to the car to pick up a quilt and spread it, then put the bamboo mat in the car on the quilt, pressed it down After I felt it was soft enough, I brought the blanket they used.

It is colder on the boat than on the land at night, and it will not be as difficult as in the car.

Li Baolu just made the bed and Gu Jingyun climbed into the bed and lay down. After exhaling comfortably, he gradually got used to the shaking boat, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Although the carriage was relatively comfortable, the bumps on the road made it difficult to sleep well, even if Gu Jingyun had the most rest time, he would be too tired.

The situation was much better when he got on the boat. He didn't get seasick and fell asleep quickly.

When Li Baolu woke up, she had just finished cooking dinner, and Nanfeng also found out the news, "The boatman said that their boss knew that his wife was the head of Lingtian Sect, so they were so polite."

"This waterway is not very safe. There are water bandits in some remote places. They usually try to save face. The boatman said that if people know that his wife is on the boat, then we should be able to pass this way smoothly. Maybe even Save money on road trips.”

Li Baolu frowned, "Buying money?"

"Yes, if you are unlucky and encounter water bandits, there are three situations. One is the worst luck. Those water bandits not only seek money but also kill people to fill the river; To search for money, the most is to kidnap people for ransom; the other is to be lucky and meet the other party in a good mood or something, they don’t board the boat, they just ask the boat to pay a toll to pass.”

"Does the yamen not care?"

"Understood, but this river is so long, it flows through so many state capitals, and there are many green hills and green trees along the coast. If you drill into it, the officers and soldiers will not be able to catch it. Therefore, the effect of suppressing bandits for many years has not been great. We need to take this waterway The merchants also invested money and hired people to suppress them, but the effect was not good. Instead, it aroused the viciousness of the water bandits. people." Nanfeng secretly glanced at Li Baolu, suppressed his excitement and said, "Is your wife the head of the sect?"

Li Baolu: ...

Li Baolu knocked him on the head, "Okay, eat quickly and go to sleep, you are not tired after driving for so many days."

Nanfeng could only leave disappointed.

The owner of the merchant ship really let out the rumor that they had Li Nvxia, the head of the Lingtian Sect, on board. Li Baolu didn't dislike it, because this was not only convenient for the owner, but also for her. After all, they are on the same boat now, aren't they?

If she really met a water bandit, could she still be alone?

Fortunately, they crossed the most dangerous part of the waterway smoothly and did not encounter water bandits. Whether it was their luck or the other party really avoided her for the sake of her face, they all went smoothly. One day you can go to Jiading.

Li Baolu's three meals a day are extremely rich, so the ingredients in the big basket are consumed very quickly, so she sits on the bow of the boat and fishes every day, but of course she can't catch anything.

In the end, he stepped on the water and caught a fish, and finally let Gu Jingyun eat a fish on the boat.

The owner of the merchant ship had seen Li Baolu's dexterity with his own eyes, and was so happy that they had two horses and one mule bought for them to pull the cart immediately after they disembarked.

Li Baolu readily accepted it, and gave him a silver note of one hundred and fifty taels, "I've already sat on your boat for nothing, so it's not good to take your horse for nothing."

In Dachu, such a horse costs at least seventy or so, and two horses and a mule are about the same price, but in the end Li Baolu made some money.

The most important thing is how much time it saves them.

Originally, they planned to live in an inn after disembarking to rest and buy horses, but now it was no longer necessary. The three of them immediately found a nearby inn to wash up, then packed some dry food and set out on the road.

A group of people set off in the morning, let the two horses and one mule run freely, and rushed to the gate of Yazhou City when the sun completely set.

Nan Feng's eyes were sharp, and he saw Bai Yitang who was slowly entering the city at a glance, and immediately shouted, "Old lady, Mrs. Bai!"

Li Baolu immediately opened the curtain to look around, and happened to see Bai Yitang who was looking sideways. The expressions on the faces of both the master and the apprentice were a little surprised, but it was still a very happy thing to meet at the gate of the city.

Because it was already dark, they couldn't rush back to the sect at night, so they rested in the county town for the night.

Qin Wenyin's face was a little pale, Gu Jingyun hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Qin Wenyin smiled at her son, "It's okay, it's been fine for the past few days, but I'm not used to suddenly switching from the boat to the car today."

Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin disembarked late at night, they rested in the inn all night, and set off for Yazhou only after the sun came out in the morning. But their carriage configuration was too low, there was only one horse, and the carriage was small, so the speed was slow. Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, who had just started their journey in the morning, caught up with them.

But both parties are happy.

Bai Yitang was happy but also worried, he looked at the empty-handed apprentice and said, "It's fine if I don't remember to bring something for your master, why don't you remember?"

Li Baolu was dumbfounded, "I, I just wanted to go back to Yazhou quickly, but I didn't expect this."

Bai Yitang stared, "You didn't expect it, and Gu Qinghe wouldn't think about it either? Isn't he always thoughtful and slick?"

Li Baolu was upset, "Master, when did brother Jing Yun become so good-looking? He is only smart, but his temperament is still very noble, so isn't it normal that he can't think of it for a while? And it's fine if we forget, why do you, as an apprentice, Can you forget?"

"Smelly girl, your wedding has only been held for a few days, and you have forgotten your teacher!"

Li Baolu said with a straight face: "Master, don't slander me, I have always been like this."

"Is this the one who sees the color and forgets the teacher?"

Gu Jingyun, who was supporting Qin Wenyin, couldn't listen anymore. He helped his mother to sit down at the table and immediately turned around and said, "I prepared gifts for the master and the others."

Li Baolu and Bai Yitang's eyes widened, "Are you ready? Where is it? Why didn't we see it?"

Gu Jingyun said helplessly: "It's in the belly of the car, let Nanfeng bring it up."
