Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters go south on the same road
Hu Qing'er took Shishi to the shore. Soon after, two women in palace clothes walked out of the carriage. It was Emperor Ande Zhao Jinluo and Emperor Demao Zhao Fujin. Shishi said a few words to them and pointed to the big ship. Zhao Jinluo took his sister to the boat.
Hu Qing'er first took Zhao Fujin to the side cabin to rest, while Zhao Jinluo followed Shishi to the main cabin. At this time, Cao Yun came out and gave a happy gift and said, "Cao Yun greeted Aunt Six!"
Zhao Jinluo is Cao Sheng's wife. When he first arrived at Cao's mansion, Cao Yun accompanied her for several days. The two had a good relationship. She stepped forward and grabbed Cao Yun's hand and smiled, "I'm afraid I will not only be your sixth aunt in the future, you should call me second sister!"
"What if Uncle Six is here?"
"Don't pay attention to him. We call us, it has nothing to do with him. Besides, you are the daughter-in-law of the Li family, so you can't always consider your parents' family, right?"
"Okay! Second sister comes in and sit down."
Cao Yun asked Zhao Jinluo to sit in the cabin, and Shishi also sat aside. A maid came in and served tea. Cao Yun smiled and said, "Second sister, I heard that there is war in Jiangnan, and I don't know what the situation is going on?"
"It should be over. I heard from the prince-consort that the army had entered Qiantang County and Xiang's family fled overseas. Both the Zheng family and the Zhu family were under house arrest. It would be fine if Yunniang went to Qiantang County now."
"Do you want to go with us?" Cao Yun smiled and invited Zhao Jinluo to go with him.
Zhao Jinluo just planned to hand over his sister to Cao Yun today, and then she went back to Jiangdu by herself, but now Cao Yun invited her to Qiantang County with her, Zhao Jinluo was also moved. She went to Jiangnan this time to buy a house in Qiantang County, but her husband was appointed as the magistrate of Yangzhou. It was not convenient for her to go south alone, but now she had a chance. Zhao Jinluo thought for a while and laughed: "Of course I want to go to Hangzhou, why don't I write a letter to the prince-consort, and then we go south together?"
Cao Yun nodded and ordered the maid to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Zhao Jinluo immediately wrote a letter to her husband and handed it to her maid to take it back to the city.
The big ship turned around and headed towards the Yangtze River along the canal
"Yunniang, my sister is actually a miserable person. She wanted to marry Cai Jing's son, but before she could pass the door, the man was bitten to death by a snake. She became a vain, and she has always liked Yanqing. This time she was almost sent to the golden camp, and Yanqing saved her. She wanted to marry Yanqing. Even if she was a concubine, she was willing to accept her!"
In the cabin, Zhao Jinluo finally found an opportunity to mention the marriage to Cao Yun.
Cao Yun shook his head and smiled, "You guys! First Qing'er advised me, and now you come and persuade me, as if I am an unreasonable person, and the dignified princess is about to marry, would I dare not agree?"
"Isn't this to give you face? You are a big wife. If you don't nod, Fu Jin can't enter the Li family's door!"
Zhao Jinluo was willing to please Cao Yun, and Cao Yun also understood in his heart that this little aunt was arrogant by nature and rarely contacted the Cao family. This time, she completely put down the emperor's airs for her sister.
"Since my second sister has already mentioned this, it is not realistic that I don't agree, but I have a few words to make it clear."
Zhao Jinluo was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please tell me if you are a mother!"
Cao Yun pondered for a moment and said slowly: "She is the princess, and she is a little special to the outside world. The enthronement and etiquette are equal to the princess. I can understand this and I will not care about it. But in the Li family, she is my sister. She must obey my arrangements and cannot forget the order of the superiority and inferiority, otherwise I have the right to leave her."
Zhao Jinluo smiled bitterly in his heart. Cao Yun was indeed a soft person on the outside and strong inside. He would not give in at all when it comes to principle. She nodded quickly, "I'll tell her."
Cao Yun said again: "If Fu Jin agrees, then I can take her tea. If she refuses, then I will send her back to Yangzhou. I will explain to the prince. If it really doesn't work, my Cao Yunxue's husband will return to her parents' home!"
Zhao Jinluo held Cao Yun's hand, "Yunniang, don't say that. Fu Jin is a gentle person and will never be unruly. Even the official family has made it clear that Fu Jin is a fair wife. She will not be ungrateful. Don't worry, I will make this guarantee!"
Cao Yunyan smiled, "Second sister, I just explain it clearly first, so that everyone will get along well in the future. This is actually for her good. As long as everyone knows politeness, we will respect and love each other and get along well."
"I understand, I'll tell her now."
Zhao Jinluo patted Cao Yun's hand and stood up and left.
In the cabin next door, Zhao Fujin was holding Li Yanqing's two-year-old son Li Pu in his arms and chatting with Shishi. Shishi also held his daughter A Lian in his arms. The two little guys were busy fiddling with the small palace toys that Zhao Fujin gave them.
"I really didn't expect that there would be so many people from Tangyin County in Jiangxia. Wouldn't we set up a new Nantang County?"
"It's true. Since the second half of last year, a large number of Tangyin people have come, and even their county magistrates have fled. There are only 300,000 people in Tangyin, and half of them have fled to Jiangxia. Many of them have passed by Jiangnan. I heard that people from my hometown live in Jiangxia, but everyone is rushing to Jiangxia. There are more than 100,000 people living there. Everyone says they want to establish Nantang County."
"Will senior sister Shi go back to Jiangxia?"
"I don't know what to do, let's see how the officials arrange it!"
While chatting, Zhao Jinluo appeared at the cabin door and waved to Zhao Fujin, "Fourth sister, come here."
Zhao Fujin handed Xiao Baolang to the wet nurse, smiled apologetically to Shishi, got up and walked out of the cabin.
"Second sister, what's the matter?"
"Don't ask, come with me!"
The two sisters walked to another cabin and sat down. Zhao Jinluo asked with a smile: "Is the child you hugged just now Li Yanqing's son?"
"Yes, his name is Li Pu, his nickname is Baolang, and he is only two years old this year."
Zhao Fujin suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice: "Second sister, do you know who Shishi, who was talking to me just now?"
"Who is it?"
"It's Li Shishi who disappeared back then."
Zhao Jinluo was surprised, "Isn't Li Shishi dead?"
"That was just a fake death. She actually left Yanqing and married Yanqing as her concubine. After I recognized her, she herself admitted that she was Li Shishi from the past, but she didn't really want to mention the past."
Zhao Jinluo waved his hand, "You and my sister know about this, and they can't even tell the prince-consort. It's not good to spread it."
"I know, I'm just talking to you, and I won't mention this matter if others."
Zhao Jinluo pondered for a moment and said, "I just talked with Yun Niang. We are all very frank and have reached a consensus, but I have a few words to explain to you."
Zhao Jinluo told her sister in detail about her conversation with Cao Yun, and finally said, "Yun Niang is a typical person with softness on the outside and hard on the inside. If you don't touch her bottom line, you can say anything. Once you touch the bottom line, she will really turn against you. So I will remind you again and again that when you enter the Li family, the first thing you have to do is to forget your identity as a princess. Only in this way can you get along with them happily, otherwise they will join forces to deal with you and your life will be sad."
Zhao Fujin nodded gently, "Second sister, don't worry, I understand in my heart!"
"Since you understand, I'll serve tea today, and I'll hand you over."
Of course, the Emperor's marriage has to go through some procedures and handle it in a grand manner, but these are just etiquettes. The premise of all etiquette is that Cao Yun accepts Zhao Fujin's entry. Only when Cao Yun accepts Zhao Fujin's tea can Emperor's marriage Li Yanqing, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
When the passenger ship arrived in Runzhou, Cao Yun accepted Zhao Fujin's tea under the witness of his sisters, which was considered to have admitted that the new sisters entered the door.
After passing this level, the next voyage became much easier. Everyone was talking and laughing, or making fun of their children. When they were about to arrive in Qiantang County, Zhao Fujin felt that she had become one with her new family. She sincerely loved this new family and gave her a relaxed and joy she had never had before. She no longer wanted to live the boring and dull life in the palace.
In the early morning, the passenger ship had already crossed the Huantang River and was slowly heading south along the moat to the east. Zhao Fujin got up early and stood alone in front of the boat window to look at the Qiantang River in the distance. In the distance was a vast white river fog, which made the Qiantang River as wide as a trumpet-mouthed.
"I have been having a great time these days, right!" Zhao Jinluo slowly walked to his sister and smiled.
Zhao Fujin nodded, "I know now why my second sister always likes to go out for fun, and she also wants to get rid of the depression in the palace!"
Zhao Jinluo sighed softly, "We were born in the imperial family. It was not only our luck, but also our misfortune. Luck is that we live in a pampered life and will not worry about the hardships of life, but unfortunately we cannot help ourselves. Just like a bird living in a cage, tasted the sorrow and depression of the palace too early, but we were still lucky in the end, marrying the man we like, Fourth Sister, today's luck is hard-won, you must cherish it!"
Zhao Fujin smiled slightly, "I have already agreed with Yunniang that after arriving in Qiantang County, I will still live with them and I will leave on the day of my marriage."
"Then why do you have a troublesome ceremony? Just marry me quietly."
"I think so too! The key is that the emperor may not agree."
Zhao Jinluo suddenly smiled sly, "I'll tell my brother that there are so many things to do to move the capital now, and you have to spend money everywhere. Let the brother be simpler and not be extravagant."
