In the tranquility, Sheng Weiqiao fell asleep in Rong Suihe's arms unconsciously.
When she woke up the next day, she found that she had returned to her bed, and even the window she had opened before had been thoughtfully closed.
The girl lazily sat up and called in the maid to serve her.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the water basin on the chrysanthemum fence, she thought thoughtfully: "Is this water shaking more than the previous two days?"
Although this sea-going ship is large enough, the sun has been shining brightly for the past two days, and the sea has good weather with no wind and waves, so it travels very smoothly.
But that's only relatively speaking. In fact, it's impossible to be the same as on land.
But... the movement of water patterns in this basin today was much more obvious than the previous two days.
"County Lord, it's like this. The prince said that the weather has been hot these past two days, and the building boat has no shelter on the sea, which makes everyone uncomfortable, so it is better to speed up and rush back to Nanfeng County as soon as possible." Juli explained quickly, "Originally, the Marquis of Yichun was reluctant, but the county king promised to send someone to accompany the Marquis on a sea trip after arriving in Nanfeng County, so the Marquis turned his anger into joy... Originally, I planned to ask you for advice before making a decision on this matter, but Just now, the Marquis changed his mind and urged us, and the prince also said that the top floor where we live must be hot, so you probably won't have any objections, so the boatman did it first."
She was a little nervous when she said this, because the boat belonged to the Sheng family. Normally, she should have asked Sheng Weiqiao what she meant by changing the sailing speed, even if it was a scene, as this was a sign of respect for the Sheng family.
Although Rong Shuihe and Li Shengxu are both of low status, judging from their attitudes towards Sheng Weiqiao, they would not use their status to oppress others. If Sheng Weiqiao feels dissatisfied now, he might run away and make a fuss
Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao also felt the heat when he arrived and hoped to arrive in Nanfeng County as soon as possible. Secondly, he knew very well that Rong Suihe must have told Li Shengxu about the heat yesterday, so he brought it with him at night. I went to the top of the boat to enjoy the cool air, and now I asked the boat to speed up.
So naturally he would not be angry, and nodded: "It's better to walk faster! We have been away from home for so long this time, and we don't know what our parents want. We slowed down before, mainly because we were afraid of Li Shengxu's cuteness. The Marquis can't stand it anymore. Now he can play in the sea every day. It can be seen that his health is really good, so why are he still so slow?"
In this way, the ship let go and moved forward, and the journey was much faster than before.
In a few days, the ship passed Bishui County, and Nanfeng County was already in sight. The boatman said that the next route could be passed with eyes closed, and Rong Suihe and other pirates were used to all kinds of surprises at sea. What happened... Especially since they captured two clippers on the way. They were both operated by experienced people. It was impossible for them to be so unlucky that three ships would crash together, right
Afraid that the heat would reach Sheng Weiqiao, Rong Suihe immediately decided to divide the boatmen into several shifts, working around the clock, almost rushing into the port of Nanfeng County in one breath!
It was lucky to say that they had mostly calm and sunny days along the way, but on the day they entered Hong Kong, it started to rain heavily.
Although the wind was only slightly stronger, there were already waves as high as three or four people on the sea.
Although the building ship did not capsize in such wind and waves, all the things that were not placed were swayed and thrown to the ground.
Even though Sheng Weiqiao didn't get seasick, after being toiled for so long, when he stepped off the gangplank, he still couldn't help but look pale and his legs and feet were weak.
But when she saw the person standing on the dock waiting for her in the pouring rain, the girl's eyes lit up and she rushed over with cheers: "Daddy!!!"
"My dear girl, you are finally back!" Sheng Lanci was also very excited. He looked at his daughter up and down, and immediately felt distressed, "Why are you so thin? Your face is so pale! How are the people on the boat doing? Taking care of you?! This is simply unreasonable!!!”
"Dad, it's okay!" Sheng Weiqiao hugged his arm and shook it, smiling and saying coquettishly, "It was just calm and the sun was shining brightly on the way back. It was too hot! So I didn't have much appetite. Finally, I entered Nanfeng County, and I just happened to catch up. The wind and waves have been rocking me back and forth for most of the day, and now I feel uncomfortable!"
Sheng Lanci suddenly became nervous: "Then stop talking here... Hurry, where is the soft sedan? It's worthless things. I haven't seen the lady. Oh, is the county chief tired? Why don't you call the soft sedan over quickly!? "
"No, no, no!" Sheng Weiqiao waved her hands quickly, "I was shaken so hard that I feel dizzy even when I'm standing on the ground! It'll be better if I stand with daddy for a while!"
Sheng Lanci rubbed the top of her daughter's hair and blamed herself: "It's all dad's fault! I should have asked you to approach the shore and come back by land before the storm started!"
"When the wind and rain get up, there is no suitable place for a large boat to dock nearby!" Sheng Weiqiao rubbed his cheek affectionately on his father's shoulder and smiled, "Wouldn't it be more dangerous if we change to a small boat to go ashore? Besides, that would be After all the trouble, I will definitely have to come back later. I miss my father and my mother!"
"Our good girl is filial!" Sheng Lanci smiled like a flower, with sincere love in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
The father and daughter had a good time talking about their parting feelings... Mainly because Sheng Lanci felt so sorry for his daughter that he finally remembered that there was a prince and a marquis who came to Nanfeng County on the same boat this time!
"Dad!" Sensing his glance, Rong Suihe had a calm expression on his face, but cold sweat broke out in his hands. He smiled apologetically, "We haven't seen you for half a year. How are you and mother?"
When the surrounding servants of the Sheng family saw that he still called Sheng Lanci that way, they were surprised and a little sad. They secretly said that it was wrong for their eldest son to confuse the bloodline, but his eyesight was beyond words: these are all people who have become county kings. Regardless of the long distance, he just sent his county master back in person to repay him. Now he is even using the old title, which shows how grateful this county prince is to repay his kindness!
However, Sheng Lanci had received a letter from Mrs. Sheng a long time ago. How could she not know what this guy was thinking when he called her like this
The muscles on his eyelids twitched, and the eldest son of the Sheng family finally restrained himself from rolling up his sleeves and went up to beat the bastard who took advantage of being close to the water, on a first-come, first-served basis, to coax his daughter away. He said with a smile: "The prince is now today. It’s not the same as it used to be, so it’s better not to mention the title of father and mother!”
Without giving Rong Suihe a chance to talk, he turned to Li Shengxu, showed a warm and kind smile, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis is here to visit us. We are truly lucky!"
He raised his head and glanced at the rain curtain, and said hello, "This is not the place to talk. I would also like to invite the Marquis to follow the official into the city and serve tea at my mansion!"
Next, apart from greeting his beloved daughter, he also greeted Li Shengxu as if he didn't exist.
Rong Suihe had expected this situation. Considering how much his father-in-law loved his daughter, he didn't ambush a bunch of swordsmen and rush him to death when he got off the boat. It was a letter from the old man of the Sheng family. Morning, the couple has calmed down a lot after this time.
It would be weird if I could give him a good look now!
So he was not annoyed at all, and followed behind with a smile, as if nothing had happened... which made Sheng Weiqiao feel a little embarrassed. He tried to get him to join the conversation several times, but Sheng Lanci interrupted or diverted him every time.
When they reached the place where they got on the carriage, Sheng Lanci couldn't help but arrange for Li Shengxu and Rong Suihe to take a carriage each, and she took her daughter along with them.
After getting in the car and opening the curtain, Sheng Lanci immediately touched her daughter's head and said with red eyes: "My dear, are you really attracted to that boy?!"
Sheng Weiqiao opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to speak, but Sheng Lanci already knew the answer in this situation, and she felt regretful in her heart: "Dad, you don't know people well! He thought he was treating you well, but who knew that he would lead a wolf into the house!!!"
He said with emotion, "If I had known he would seduce you, when he was seriously injured in the accident where Gongsun Laohai died in the battle, dad should not have given him medicine for his wounds, but should have given him a bottle of crane Thank you very much, let’s send him on his way as soon as possible!!!”
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
She hesitated for a while, then said with a guilty conscience and embarrassment, "Dad... um, he is kind to me..."
"Look!" Sheng Lanci became even more heartbroken after hearing this, almost beating her chest and saying, "You used to say that daddy is the best! What about now? Our father and daughter haven't seen each other for how many days, and we finally reunited, and you actually Before you say good things to dad, say good things to him first! Because of this, dad wants to chop him to death with his own hands!"
Sheng Weiqiao quickly coaxed: "Dad! Of course you are the best! He is just okay!"
"Aren't you afraid that Daddy won't let you marry him, so that's why you said that?" Sheng Lanci was not like before when she heard the words "Daddy is the best" and immediately returned to the earth this time. She obeyed and said coldly. , "In the final analysis, you are just perfunctory when you say that daddy is best! Even for that kid! You no longer regard daddy as the best, most reliable and most loving person for you!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was in a daze, because Sheng Lanci at this moment reminded her of her little cousin Sheng Weiwu who was far away in Chang'an at the moment...
"Dad, how could I say good things about dad because of him? Daddy, you are the best dad in the world!" Sheng Weiqiao silently vomited blood and tried to comfort his father who had overturned the jealousy tank, "You don't know , this time I went to Chang'an, many people envied me for having such a good father like you!"
Citing heavyweight evidence, "Even the Queen said that I am truly lucky to be your daughter!"
Listening to her daughter's sweet words, Sheng Lanci felt a little better and groaned: "Seriously? That daddy is more important than that kid, right?"
Sheng Weiqiao was confused after hearing this because she didn't know whether Sheng Lanci would say next, "Well, if dad doesn't want you to marry him, do you want to do it?" But facing her father's expectant eyes, she still nodded bravely. : "Of course dad is the most important! There is only one dad!"
"Dad knows that good girls are the best!" Sheng Lanci felt chilled when he saw her daughter hesitate. Now she breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. With a smile on her face, she touched her daughter's head hard and said lovingly, "The family specializes in I’ve cooked your favorite dish, and you’ll have to replenish it as soon as you get back... Daddy’s sweetheart is so haggard after a trip out, Daddy will have to ask your attendants how they are serving you?!”
The father and daughter were having a good time here, but over there in the carriage where Rong Suihe was sitting, Gongsun Yingdun asked worriedly: "Little uncle, it seems that the master of the Sheng family doesn't welcome you very much? Then he probably won't approve of marrying my aunt to you. Yes! You said this...?"
