Mingruo felt that the senior brother returned to Yunzhong Palace this time, perhaps to go to Zhongzhou with them.

Her senior brothers walked with her, which made her feel at ease and nervous - she always felt that something extraordinary would happen.

They were two carriages heading to the west, with Jun Che and Mr. Qing Wei's nephew Qi Diaojin and Ming Ruo and Si Haochen.

When Jun Che was about to get on the car, he handed Ming Ruo a brocade box: "Happy birthday."

"Thank you, senior brother." Ming Ruo took the gift and smiled sweetly at the senior brother.

"I'll ask my junior sister to keep those gold coins." Jun Che said.

"Okay." Mingruo nodded.

After Mingruo got on the car, he put three boxes of gold coins into the space. She and Si Haochen both wanted to pretend to be Mr. Qing Wei's entourage, and bringing too much luggage on the boat would be suspicious.

The carriage began to move forward. Mingruo opened the brocade box given by his senior brother, and there were a pair of bracelets. The dark green beads were round and crystal clear, but they had the unique texture of the wood.

Mingruo picked up a string of carefully looking at it. It looked like jade beads and felt more like wood.

Si Haochen picked up another string from the brocade box and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Huh?" Mingruo felt a little hot when he held the bracelet in his hand.

"This is the seed of the dragon blood tree, also called Lianli Fruit. It is said that the seeds born in the century-old dragon blood tree will have 'inducing' to each other in the same year." Si Haochen put the smaller string on Mingruo's wrist and asked Mingruo to put another string on him.

Mingruo found that the closer the hands of the two wearing bracelets, the more obvious the warmth feeling was. However, even if the two of them tied the bracelets together, it would not make people feel too hot and uncomfortable.

"This is so magical." Ming Ruo sincerely exclaimed.

"Yeah." Si Haochen had only heard of "Lianliguo" before. What should I do if my gift was instantly ruined? "I remember Yan Zhaobai also gave you a birthday gift before leaving. What is it?"

"It's a pendant, and your chest is warm after putting it on." Mingruo took out the box containing the warm jade pendant for Si Haochen to show it.

She wore it for a few days when she was in Xikang. The Yunzhong Palace was hotter than Xikang, so she stopped wearing it.

"When I return to the fiefdom, I will find you some interesting things." Si Haochen felt that his gift was still too ordinary.

Mingruo understood what Si Haochen was thinking, and smiled and took his arm: "The most important thing is my intention. I know that the golden hairpin was made by you with your own hands."

"Little clever ghost." Si Haochen poked Mingruo's forehead.

After walking for a day, the carriage finally reached the western boundary. This is a vast sea area, with islands of all sizes scattered on the sea, just like villages, counties and towns on land.

Some people also bought an island and made it into a wharf for merchant ships to moor.

The Beigong family has a large island on the western border. In addition to being able to dock its own fleet, it also hosts some foreign fleets.

Mr. Qingwei booked a room at the inn on the island. After some decoration, Mingruo and the other three followed Mr. Qingwei's uncle and nephew to the island to wait for the boat.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, the group boarded the ship at the dock. Ming Ruo and Si Haochen pretended to be Mr. Qing Wei's entourage, and Jun Che was Qi Diaojin's entourage.

When boarding the boat, the check was very strict. Not only did the boat tickets be checked, but the waist signs and road signs must be checked one by one.

Although the Beigong family's ship was also made of iron nanmu, there was only one floor on the deck, and most of the cabins were in the bottom cabin. Mr. Qing Wei ordered a luxury cabin, so someone led them to the cabin.

Although it is a ‘luxury cabin’, it also has different sizes.

Mr. Qing Wei ordered the only two large cabins. He originally wanted to book two large cabins, but the other one was already booked, so he had to book one large one and one small one.

Ming Ruo and Si Haochen chose a smaller room, and the other three lived in a large suite.

They boarded the ship early, and after they packed it up, Mingruo and Si Haochen went to the deck to see the sea.

The ticket says that the boat starts at Si time, but it is almost the end of Si time, and there is no point in driving the boat.

Many people asked why they didn’t drive the ship? The owner only said one sentence, waiting for someone.

People were already waiting more and more impatiently before they saw a pair of people coming late.

Two well-dressed maids and two older nannies, wearing a lady in a hat.

A nanny came forward to show her waist sign. The people who had been conducting investigations before, didn't even want to guide them, so she let them on the boat. Then she got up and prepared to set off.

Because the passengers were waiting for a long time before, they were very upset, and when they saw the culprit who caused everyone to wait, they naturally had nothing to say.

"Why is this lady walking strangely? Could it be that she is sick?"

"This journey is long, don't be on the boat..."

"I'm just dead before I left, so I'm so unlucky!"

When people saw the group enter the only luxurious cabin, most of them chose to shut up.

The cabin is very expensive, and it costs 1,000 taels of silver. The cheapest ticket for this boat is only 10 taels of silver.

Those who are willing to spend a hundred times the price on the boat will definitely be either rich or noble, and they cannot afford to offend them.

After three days on the boat, Mingruo was finally lucky to meet the lady who had been put on the boat on the deck at the stern.

She was wearing a pink skirt, a draped hair bun, and a pink pearl-inlaid beaded flowers and stairs inlaid with pink pearls, which looked pink and tender.

But Mingruo felt that this kind of clothing that pretended to be young was really not suitable for her.

I heard a nanny persuade him with great sincerity: "Miss, don't get angry. As the saying goes, 'It's better to live than to die well.'. You all have the determination to jump into the sea, are you still afraid of living?

Besides, what the wife arranged for you is indeed a good marriage. If you marry the second lady to Zhongzhou, the wife will naturally remember your good deeds and will definitely treat Aunt Zhao and the young master well..."

"If it weren't for the young master of the Beigong family who was stupid, he would have gone 'cheap' me?"

Mingruo felt that the nanny's words were superb. It sounded like comfort, but it was full of threats...

The nanny covered the woman's mouth and looked around nervously...

Alas, I accidentally ate such a big melon and felt a little calm in my heart and walked towards my cabin.

Although the super luxurious cabin is expensive, the service is also good. Not only do you provide three meals a day, you can also send snacks and fruits in the middle of the morning and in the middle of the afternoon.

Jun Che took some snacks to Mingruo and Si Haochen, and saw his junior sister walking by the wall like a little mouse stealing oil.

Jun Che deliberately let his feet lightly, walked behind Ming Ruo, and patted her shoulder gently.

Mingruo's spine stiffened and he used all his self-control before he did not exclaim.

Mingruo slowly turned around, and when he saw that it was his senior brother, he breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest: "It's scary, it's scary."

"What are you doing this sneaky?" Jun Che asked with a smile.

"Senior brother, please pay attention to the wording. I am cautious, not sneaking." Mingruo opened the door, "I just saw someone who surprised me, so we went in and said."

"Okay." Jun Che nodded.
