The bad luck finally ran away, and the rest of the trip was uneventful. No unpleasant things happened again. The group finally turned from the Yongtong River into the Xinjiang River on the fifth day of March and sailed down the river for only three days. After a while, we entered the boundary of Nanping County, and after another day or two of water journey, we could reach Huainan Prefecture.
Breakfast didn't take long, and Gong Cai brought tea to rinse her mouth. Qiqiao was embarrassed by her teasing and had gone outside. Hua Zhuo, bored, lay on the window and looked outside.
The drizzle is still falling, and there is no chill on the face, only a trace of warmth that penetrates into the skin and into the heart.
Hua Zhuo chuckled and said, "I don't want to wait any longer. Isn't there a carriage house over there? Rent a car. Let's go back now. I want to give my father and mother a surprise."
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
"Miss..." Qiqiao stamped her feet vigorously, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
On both sides of the Xinjiang River, willows are green, flowers are red, grass grows and orioles are flying, and the warm spring breeze is blowing.

Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
After returning home after a long absence, Hua Zhuo could finally sit down and talk to his mother Fang after bathing and grooming. Originally he was just curious about why the river embankment was built so quickly, but Fang gave such an unexpected answer.
"Miss, go back to the boat. I will send someone to notify the master and his wife to pick you up." Aunt Liu smiled and held an umbrella over Hua Zhuo's head.
However, the young lady has just got engaged, and there will still be some time before the divorce and marriage, so it is a bit early to mention a dowry girl. The point is, Qiqiao is older than the young lady, and by the time the young lady comes out of the court, Qiqiao will be married to someone else, so It is unlikely to be a dowry girl, but it is very likely to be a dowry girl. At the moment, the only person around the young lady who may be a dowry girl is Gong Cai, so when she heard the word dowry girl, she thought she was talking about herself.
Isn't it possible that some gods can help? Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a fast speed.
There was a bowl of white porridge and two plates of side dishes on the tray. They were steaming hot and had obviously just come out of the pot.
"Miss, look..." Qiqiao opened the window, letting the spring light pour into the cabin, and also letting the busy scene on the shore break into Hua Zhuo's eyes.
Hua Zhuo patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm confused, so let the boat move closer to the shore so I can take a closer look."
"Mommy is biased..."
It's just that Hua Xu didn't expect that the court would suddenly change its attitude and agree to allocate money while he was selling iron. Moreover, as soon as his wife came to Beijing, his daughter's marriage was settled. He could only lament that the world was unpredictable and full of twists and turns, but he didn't have much regret. , I can make more money by selling my property. I only have one daughter, as long as I come back safely, it will be fine.
"They are repairing the river embankment..." Hua Zhuo rushed to the window in surprise. Because the couplet was a bit far away, a layer of light mist floated on the river in the early morning. He could not see clearly the progress of the river embankment repair, but the scene was in full swing. , but still caught the eye without missing a beat.
"Miss, let's have breakfast first." Qiqiao took the tray, glared at Gong Cai, and deliberately changed the subject.
You have already gone home, you can say anything slowly, there is no need to rush. She comforted herself like this, and then Qiqiao and Gong Cai called over to arrange their hair and clothes. Finally, they put on their hats and slowly walked onto the bow to welcome their mother's arrival.
Aunt Liu laughed, knowing that the young lady was homesick and didn't want to waste even one night's work.

Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
"Qiqiao, let the boat dock." She was excited.
Qiqiao was stunned and said hurriedly: "Miss, there is no ferry nearby, so we can't dock."
This is also smooth sailing. If you take a boat from Huainan Prefecture to the county town, you will have to go against the wind and the current. It will take less than two days to reach the county.
Qiqiao was stunned and said hurriedly: "Miss, there is no ferry nearby, so we can't dock."
When Hua Zhuo heard this, he immediately stopped thinking about docking and said, "Forget it, let's leave overnight and we'll get home early tomorrow morning."
Hua Xu became ruthless. Even though he was a literati, once he became ruthless, his ability to act was terrifying. In just half a month, the money was distributed, labor was recruited, and the river embankment was officially rebuilt. The people were very enthusiastic about this man. The Fuyin experts who spent their own money to build the river embankment were also very supportive. Anyone who had time and energy volunteered to apply for the job. The entire Huainan Prefecture was busy building the river embankment. Hua Xu was worried about his daughter and hoped that the river embankment would be repaired as quickly as possible. From that day on, all matters in the yamen were handed over to his subordinates, while he supervised the work on the river embankment all day long. The river embankment was naturally being repaired very quickly, and... There is no shoddy work at all. Just kidding, whoever dares to do anything under the eyes of Mr. Fu Yin will really think that the head on his neck is very hard.
"What... Daddy sold the boat shop!"
After returning home after a long absence, Hua Zhuo could finally sit down and talk to his mother Fang after bathing and grooming. Originally he was just curious about why the river embankment was built so quickly, but Fang gave such an unexpected answer.
"What... Daddy sold the boat shop!"
Qiqiao was stunned and said hurriedly: "Miss, there is no ferry nearby, so we can't dock."
"Mommy is biased..."
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
Hua Zhuo counted on his fingers and said, "Qiqiao, you are three years older than me. Now you are sixteen. It's time to get married. When you get home, I will ask my mother to make the decision for you. How about that?"
"Miss..." Qiqiao stamped her feet vigorously, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
Aunt Liu didn't agree with anything she said and dragged Hua Zhuo back to the boat. Then she slapped her son on the back of the head and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the horse and carriage shop to rent a horse and ride on it quickly." Go back and report to the master and madam."
By the time Hua Xu received the imperial edict to allocate silver, the river embankment was almost half repaired. This is also the reason why Hua Zhuo came back from the waterway and saw that the river embankment was almost completed. In fact, the river embankment in Huainan Prefecture had been repaired long ago. The part of the river embankment adjacent to Fucheng that has not yet been fully completed. Hua Xu only used a small part of the money allocated by the imperial court to repair the river to make up for the shortfall. The rest was sealed and stored in the warehouse, waiting for the river embankment to be completed before being sent back to the imperial court.
On both sides of the Xinjiang River, willows are green, flowers are red, grass grows and orioles are flying, and the warm spring breeze is blowing.
Hua Zhuo patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm confused, so let the boat move closer to the shore so I can take a closer look."
A carriage came rattling from a distance, and Hua Zhuo stood up suddenly. Although she could not see the mark on the carriage clearly, her heart was filled with excitement. It was her mother. Her mother must be here.
Hua Xu became ruthless. Even though he was a literati, once he became ruthless, his ability to act was terrifying. In just half a month, the money was distributed, labor was recruited, and the river embankment was officially rebuilt. The people were very enthusiastic about this man.

Just kidding, whoever dares to do anything under the eyes of Mr. Fu Yin will really think that the head on his neck is very hard.
Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.
Gong Cai was stared at in confusion and didn't know what she said wrong. From the day she was brought by the woman for training, she knew that she would be a dowry for the young lady in the future. This was her honor. You must know that there are only two ways out for dowrying a girl. One is to marry a girl. Steward, continue to serve the young lady. In the future, a steward mother will not be able to escape. If you are good enough, it will not be a problem to become the chief steward of the inner courtyard like Aunt Liu. The other option is to serve your uncle with dignity and be a maidservant. You will be lucky. If she has a child, she must also be an aunt.
Clay figurines are also very angry, not to mention Hua Xu is not a good gentleman. When he learned about his daughter's situation in Beijing and received letters from her one after another, what if the court did not allocate funds? He would repair the river embankment by selling iron. , based on this achievement, he reported it to the court. No matter how suppressed Rongchangtang was, it could not prevent his promotion. As long as he was allowed to enter the capital, he would see who dared to bully his daughter under his nose.
The bad luck finally ran away, and the rest of the trip was uneventful. No unpleasant things happened again. The group finally turned from the Yongtong River into the Xinjiang River on the fifth day of March and sailed down the river for only three days. After a while, we entered the boundary of Nanping County, and after another day or two of water journey, we could reach Huainan Prefecture.
Qiqiao's face suddenly glowed like morning glow.

Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point

"Why so fast?"
The rain suddenly started falling in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop until dawn. It was as thin as silk and as long as sorrow. However, Hua Zhuo was filled with the joy of returning home at this time. There was no sentimentality at all. He didn't even hold an umbrella. , almost jumping off the boat.
The bad luck finally ran away, and the rest of the trip was uneventful. No unpleasant things happened again. The group finally turned from the Yongtong River into the Xinjiang River on the fifth day of March and sailed down the river for only three days. After a while, we entered the boundary of Nanping County, and after another day or two of water journey, we could reach Huainan Prefecture.
"Qiqiao, let the boat dock." She was excited.
Qiqiao's face suddenly glowed like morning glow.
Hua Xu sold the boat shop. Not long after Fang left Huainan Prefecture and rushed to the capital, he sold the most profitable pillar industry of Rongantang. Because of the urgency of the sale, the price was also low, and it only sold for 20 yuan. Several tens of thousands taels were less than two-thirds of the actual value of the entire shipyard. Including the money sent by Hua Huan, the total amount was exactly 300,000 taels. At that time, Hua Xu did not know that the imperial court had already allocated funds. He decided to sell the boat shop in order to repair the river embankment as soon as possible, and then force the banker to agree to the marriage. The one-year appointment was what Mr. Zhuang said himself. If he wanted to go back on his word, he would be like everyone in Rong'an Hall.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
"That won't work. When we get home, there's no point in renting a car."
Hua Zhuo's heart was filled with doubts, like a cat's paw scratching his heart. It had been less than two months since the imperial court transferred the money. Counting all the miscellaneous procedures, and there was still time to transport the money, his father would never get more than Half a month, but at this time, it seems that most of the river embankment is almost repaired. She has not seen the remaining half, but judging from the progress, it is estimated that it will not be much slower, at least in It will definitely be repaired before this year's flood season.
"What... Daddy sold the boat shop!"
"Mommy is biased..."
Aunt Liu thought for a while and said: "There is a big pier half a day's journey away. Once you get to the shore, you will reach the county town. If Miss is not in a hurry to return home, we can rest in the county town for one night and then leave early tomorrow. After noon You’ll be home soon.”
Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.
Isn't it possible that some gods can help? Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a fast speed.
On both sides of the Xinjiang River, willows are green, flowers are red, grass grows and orioles are flying, and the warm spring breeze is blowing.
Ah Fu stroked the back of his head and hurried away without daring to say a word.
As the sun rises higher and higher, there are more and more people on the pier, and there is a slight noise. There are boats docking and boats leaving, submerged into the vast spring water.
"Why so fast?"
Breakfast didn't take long, and Gong Cai brought tea to rinse her mouth. Qiqiao was embarrassed by her teasing and had gone outside. Hua Zhuo, bored, lay on the window and looked outside.
Aunt Liu didn't agree with anything she said and dragged Hua Zhuo back to the boat. Then she slapped her son on the back of the head and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the horse and carriage shop to rent a horse and ride on it quickly." Go back and report to the master and madam."
"Mommy, how far is the nearest ferry?" She couldn't hold back her eagerness and wanted to go ashore to find someone to inquire.
Hua Xu became ruthless. Even though he was a literati, once he became ruthless, his ability to act was terrifying.

Qiqiao was packing her luggage when she saw Ah Fu slapped on the back of the head. She immediately sighed and murmured: "I'm not very smart to begin with. What will I do if I get slapped again?"
Gong Cai was stared at in confusion and didn't know what she said wrong. From the day she was brought by the woman for training, she knew that she would be a dowry for the young lady in the future. This was her honor. You must know that there are only two ways out for dowrying a girl. One is to marry a girl. Steward, continue to serve the young lady.

She wanted to jump off the boat immediately, but at this time the sun was rising and people were coming and going on the pier. It was no longer the empty and silent scene before. As the daughter of the governor, she had to maintain the dignity of Rong'an Hall.
Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
Aunt Liu laughed, knowing that the young lady was homesick and didn't want to waste even one night's work.

Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
Hua Zhuo felt that one of the two girls was ignorant and the other was too embarrassed to open her mouth. He felt very amused and chuckled.
A carriage came rattling from a distance, and Hua Zhuo stood up suddenly. Although she could not see the mark on the carriage clearly, her heart was filled with excitement. It was her mother. Her mother must be here.

After a while, we entered the boundary of Nanping County, and after another day or two of water journey, we could reach Huainan Prefecture.
It was still early in the morning, it was just dawn, and it was drizzling. There were few pedestrians on the pier, so no one looked at her sideways. Even the servants of Rong'an Hall just looked at the young lady's cheerful appearance with a smile, and she was wet in her clothes. Swirling in the wet drizzle, the red skirt rose like a flower. In an instant, it seemed like a ball of sparks lit up the entire pier.
"I'm home… "
"I'm home… "

"What dowry girl? Miss, are you talking about me?" Gong Cai walked in with a black lacquer tray in her hand. She happened to hear the last part of Hua Zhuo's sentence and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qiqiao was stunned and said hurriedly: "Miss, there is no ferry nearby, so we can't dock."
"Mommy, how far is the nearest ferry?" She couldn't hold back her eagerness and wanted to go ashore to find someone to inquire.

Hua Zhuo chuckled and said, "I don't want to wait any longer. Isn't there a carriage house over there? Rent a car. Let's go back now. I want to give my father and mother a surprise."

Aunt Liu didn't agree with anything she said and dragged Hua Zhuo back to the boat. Then she slapped her son on the back of the head and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the horse and carriage shop to rent a horse and ride on it quickly." Go back and report to the master and madam."
The bad luck finally ran away, and the rest of the trip was uneventful. No unpleasant things happened again. The group finally turned from the Yongtong River into the Xinjiang River on the fifth day of March and sailed down the river for only three days. After a while, we entered the boundary of Nanping County, and after another day or two of water journey, we could reach Huainan Prefecture.
Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point
"Mommy is biased..."
A carriage came rattling from a distance, and Hua Zhuo stood up suddenly. Although she could not see the mark on the carriage clearly, her heart was filled with excitement. It was her mother. Her mother must be here.
Hua Xu sold the boat shop. Not long after Fang left Huainan Prefecture and rushed to the capital, he sold the most profitable pillar industry of Rongantang. Because of the urgency of the sale, the price was also low, and it only sold for 20 yuan. Several tens of thousands taels were less than two-thirds of the actual value of the entire shipyard. Including the money sent by Hua Huan, the total amount was exactly 300,000 taels. At that time, Hua Xu did not know that the imperial court had already allocated funds. He decided to sell the boat shop in order to repair the river embankment as soon as possible, and then force the banker to agree to the marriage. The one-year appointment was what Mr. Zhuang said himself. If he wanted to go back on his word, he would be like everyone in Rong'an Hall.
Ah Fu stroked the back of his head and hurried away without daring to say a word.
When Hua Zhuo heard this, he immediately stopped thinking about docking and said, "Forget it, let's leave overnight and we'll get home early tomorrow morning."

When Hua Zhuo heard this, he immediately stopped thinking about docking and said, "Forget it, let's leave overnight and we'll get home early tomorrow morning."
The rain suddenly started falling in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop until dawn. It was as thin as silk and as long as sorrow. However, Hua Zhuo was filled with the joy of returning home at this time. There was no sentimentality at all. He didn't even hold an umbrella. , almost jumping off the boat.
It's just that Hua Xu didn't expect that the court would suddenly change its attitude and agree to allocate money while he was selling iron. Moreover, as soon as his wife came to Beijing, his daughter's marriage was settled. He could only lament that the world was unpredictable and full of twists and turns, but he didn't have much regret. , I can make more money by selling my property. I only have one daughter, as long as I come back safely, it will be fine.
"Mommy is biased..."
Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
The drizzle is still falling, and there is no chill on the face, only a trace of warmth that penetrates into the skin and into the heart.
"I'm home… "
"That won't work. When we get home, there's no point in renting a car."
This is also smooth sailing. If you take a boat from Huainan Prefecture to the county town, you will have to go against the wind and the current. It will take less than two days to reach the county.
Hua Zhuo felt that one of the two girls was ignorant and the other was too embarrassed to open her mouth. He felt very amused and chuckled.
Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point
Ah Fu stroked the back of his head and hurried away without daring to say a word.
It was still early in the morning, it was just dawn, and it was drizzling. There were few pedestrians on the pier, so no one looked at her sideways. Even the servants of Rong'an Hall just looked at the young lady's cheerful appearance with a smile, and she was wet in her clothes. Swirling in the wet drizzle, the red skirt rose like a flower. In an instant, it seemed like a ball of sparks lit up the entire pier.
However, the young lady has just got engaged, and there will still be some time before the divorce and marriage, so it is a bit early to mention a dowry girl. The point is, Qiqiao is older than the young lady, and by the time the young lady comes out of the court, Qiqiao will be married to someone else, so It is unlikely to be a dowry girl, but it is very likely to be a dowry girl. At the moment, the only person around the young lady who may be a dowry girl is Gong Cai, so when she heard the word dowry girl, she thought she was talking about herself.
Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.
"What... Daddy sold the boat shop!"
Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.
Qiqiao was packing her luggage when she saw Ah Fu slapped on the back of the head. She immediately sighed and murmured: "I'm not very smart to begin with. What will I do if I get slapped again?"
Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point
"They are repairing the river embankment..." Hua Zhuo rushed to the window in surprise. Because the couplet was a bit far away, a layer of light mist floated on the river in the early morning. He could not see clearly the progress of the river embankment repair, but the scene was in full swing. , but still caught the eye without missing a beat.
Hua Zhuo counted on his fingers and said, "Qiqiao, you are three years older than me. Now you are sixteen. It's time to get married. When you get home, I will ask my mother to make the decision for you. How about that?"
"That won't work. When we get home, there's no point in renting a car."
The rain suddenly started falling in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop until dawn. It was as thin as silk and as long as sorrow.

Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
"Miss, let's have breakfast first." Qiqiao took the tray, glared at Gong Cai, and deliberately changed the subject.
Aunt Liu laughed, knowing that the young lady was homesick and didn't want to waste even one night's work.
You have already gone home, you can say anything slowly, there is no need to rush. She comforted herself like this, and then Qiqiao and Gong Cai called over to arrange their hair and clothes. Finally, they put on their hats and slowly walked onto the bow to welcome their mother's arrival.
On both sides of the Xinjiang River, willows are green, flowers are red, grass grows and orioles are flying, and the warm spring breeze is blowing.
Qiqiao's face suddenly glowed like morning glow.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
There was a bowl of white porridge and two plates of side dishes on the tray. They were steaming hot and had obviously just come out of the pot.

The one-year appointment was what Mr. Zhuang said himself. If he wanted to go back on his word, he would be like everyone in Rong'an Hall.
"Miss..." Qiqiao stamped her feet vigorously, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
As the sun rises higher and higher, there are more and more people on the pier, and there is a slight noise. There are boats docking and boats leaving, submerged into the vast spring water.
"Mommy is biased..."
Hua Xu became ruthless. Even though he was a literati, once he became ruthless, his ability to act was terrifying. In just half a month, the money was distributed, labor was recruited, and the river embankment was officially rebuilt. The people were very enthusiastic about this man. The Fuyin experts who spent their own money to build the river embankment were also very supportive. Anyone who had time and energy volunteered to apply for the job. The entire Huainan Prefecture was busy building the river embankment. Hua Xu was worried about his daughter and hoped that the river embankment would be repaired as quickly as possible. From that day on, all matters in the yamen were handed over to his subordinates, while he supervised the work on the river embankment all day long. The river embankment was naturally being repaired very quickly, and... There is no shoddy work at all. Just kidding, whoever dares to do anything under the eyes of Mr. Fu Yin will really think that the head on his neck is very hard.
"Miss, let's have breakfast first." Qiqiao took the tray, glared at Gong Cai, and deliberately changed the subject.
Hua Zhuo was shocked and said, "You don't want to? Oh, so you want to be my dowry girl?"
Aunt Liu thought for a while and said: "There is a big pier half a day's journey away. Once you get to the shore, you will reach the county town. If Miss is not in a hurry to return home, we can rest in the county town for one night and then leave early tomorrow. After noon You’ll be home soon.”
Aunt Liu laughed, knowing that the young lady was homesick and didn't want to waste even one night's work.
Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.
Hua Zhuo patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm confused, so let the boat move closer to the shore so I can take a closer look."
"What dowry girl? Miss, are you talking about me?" Gong Cai walked in with a black lacquer tray in her hand. She happened to hear the last part of Hua Zhuo's sentence and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Miss, go back to the boat. I will send someone to notify the master and his wife to pick you up." Aunt Liu smiled and held an umbrella over Hua Zhuo's head.
Ah Fu stroked the back of his head and hurried away without daring to say a word.
Hua Zhuo chuckled and said, "I don't want to wait any longer. Isn't there a carriage house over there? Rent a car. Let's go back now. I want to give my father and mother a surprise."
She wanted to jump off the boat immediately, but at this time the sun was rising and people were coming and going on the pier. It was no longer the empty and silent scene before. As the daughter of the governor, she had to maintain the dignity of Rong'an Hall.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
Isn't it possible that some gods can help? Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a fast speed.
Hua Zhuo's heart was filled with doubts, like a cat's paw scratching his heart. It had been less than two months since the imperial court transferred the money. Counting all the miscellaneous procedures, and there was still time to transport the money, his father would never get more than Half a month, but at this time, it seems that most of the river embankment is almost repaired. She has not seen the remaining half, but judging from the progress, it is estimated that it will not be much slower, at least in It will definitely be repaired before this year's flood season.

Qiqiao was stunned and said hurriedly: "Miss, there is no ferry nearby, so we can't dock."
Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.

Hua Zhuo was shocked and said, "You don't want to? Oh, so you want to be my dowry girl?"
Gong Cai was stared at in confusion and didn't know what she said wrong. From the day she was brought by the woman for training, she knew that she would be a dowry for the young lady in the future. This was her honor. You must know that there are only two ways out for dowrying a girl. One is to marry a girl. Steward, continue to serve the young lady. In the future, a steward mother will not be able to escape. If you are good enough, it will not be a problem to become the chief steward of the inner courtyard like Aunt Liu. The other option is to serve your uncle with dignity and be a maidservant. You will be lucky. If she has a child, she must also be an aunt.

Breakfast didn't take long, and Gong Cai brought tea to rinse her mouth. Qiqiao was embarrassed by her teasing and had gone outside. Hua Zhuo, bored, lay on the window and looked outside.
"What dowry girl? Miss, are you talking about me?" Gong Cai walked in with a black lacquer tray in her hand. She happened to hear the last part of Hua Zhuo's sentence and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Qiqiao, let the boat dock." She was excited.
"Miss, look..." Qiqiao opened the window, letting the spring light pour into the cabin, and also letting the busy scene on the shore break into Hua Zhuo's eyes.
Aunt Liu didn't agree with anything she said and dragged Hua Zhuo back to the boat. Then she slapped her son on the back of the head and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the horse and carriage shop to rent a horse and ride on it quickly." Go back and report to the master and madam."

A carriage came rattling from a distance, and Hua Zhuo stood up suddenly. Although she could not see the mark on the carriage clearly, her heart was filled with excitement. It was her mother. Her mother must be here.
Clay figurines are also very angry, not to mention Hua Xu is not a good gentleman. When he learned about his daughter's situation in Beijing and received letters from her one after another, what if the court did not allocate funds? He would repair the river embankment by selling iron. , based on this achievement, he reported it to the court. No matter how suppressed Rongchangtang was, it could not prevent his promotion. As long as he was allowed to enter the capital, he would see who dared to bully his daughter under his nose.
Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
Hua Zhuo chuckled and said, "I don't want to wait any longer. Isn't there a carriage house over there? Rent a car. Let's go back now. I want to give my father and mother a surprise."
Ah Fu stroked the back of his head and hurried away without daring to say a word.

This is also smooth sailing. If you take a boat from Huainan Prefecture to the county town, you will have to go against the wind and the current. It will take less than two days to reach the county.
"What... Daddy sold the boat shop!"
The drizzle is still falling, and there is no chill on the face, only a trace of warmth that penetrates into the skin and into the heart.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
Hua Xu sold the boat shop. Not long after Fang left Huainan Prefecture and rushed to the capital, he sold the most profitable pillar industry of Rongantang. Because of the urgency of the sale, the price was also low, and it only sold for 20 yuan. Several tens of thousands taels were less than two-thirds of the actual value of the entire shipyard. Including the money sent by Hua Huan, the total amount was exactly 300,000 taels. At that time, Hua Xu did not know that the imperial court had already allocated funds. He decided to sell the boat shop in order to repair the river embankment as soon as possible, and then force the banker to agree to the marriage. The one-year appointment was what Mr. Zhuang said himself. If he wanted to go back on his word, he would be like everyone in Rong'an Hall.
It was still early in the morning, it was just dawn, and it was drizzling. There were few pedestrians on the pier, so no one looked at her sideways. Even the servants of Rong'an Hall just looked at the young lady's cheerful appearance with a smile, and she was wet in her clothes. Swirling in the wet drizzle, the red skirt rose like a flower. In an instant, it seemed like a ball of sparks lit up the entire pier.
"What dowry girl? Miss, are you talking about me?" Gong Cai walked in with a black lacquer tray in her hand. She happened to hear the last part of Hua Zhuo's sentence and couldn't help but ask curiously.
It's just that Hua Xu didn't expect that the court would suddenly change its attitude and agree to allocate money while he was selling iron. Moreover, as soon as his wife came to Beijing, his daughter's marriage was settled. He could only lament that the world was unpredictable and full of twists and turns, but he didn't have much regret. , I can make more money by selling my property. I only have one daughter, as long as I come back safely, it will be fine.
Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point
After returning home after a long absence, Hua Zhuo could finally sit down and talk to his mother Fang after bathing and grooming. Originally he was just curious about why the river embankment was built so quickly, but Fang gave such an unexpected answer.
Hua Zhuo heard clearly, smiled and said, "Mama Liu beats her son, she doesn't even feel bad, why do you feel bad?"
Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point
"I'm home… "
After returning home after a long absence, Hua Zhuo could finally sit down and talk to his mother Fang after bathing and grooming. Originally he was just curious about why the river embankment was built so quickly, but Fang gave such an unexpected answer.
Hua Xu sold the boat shop. Not long after Fang left Huainan Prefecture and rushed to the capital, he sold the most profitable pillar industry of Rongantang. Because of the urgency of the sale, the price was also low, and it only sold for 20 yuan. Several tens of thousands taels were less than two-thirds of the actual value of the entire shipyard. Including the money sent by Hua Huan, the total amount was exactly 300,000 taels. At that time, Hua Xu did not know that the imperial court had already allocated funds. He decided to sell the boat shop in order to repair the river embankment as soon as possible, and then force the banker to agree to the marriage. The one-year appointment was what Mr. Zhuang said himself. If he wanted to go back on his word, he would be like everyone in Rong'an Hall.
Clay figurines are also very angry, not to mention Hua Xu is not a good gentleman. When he learned about his daughter's situation in Beijing and received letters from her one after another, what if the court did not allocate funds? He would repair the river embankment by selling iron. , based on this achievement, he reported it to the court. No matter how suppressed Rongchangtang was, it could not prevent his promotion. As long as he was allowed to enter the capital, he would see who dared to bully his daughter under his nose.
Hua Zhuo felt that one of the two girls was ignorant and the other was too embarrassed to open her mouth. He felt very amused and chuckled.
Gong Cai was stared at in confusion and didn't know what she said wrong. From the day she was brought by the woman for training, she knew that she would be a dowry for the young lady in the future. This was her honor. You must know that there are only two ways out for dowrying a girl. One is to marry a girl. Steward, continue to serve the young lady. In the future, a steward mother will not be able to escape. If you are good enough, it will not be a problem to become the chief steward of the inner courtyard like Aunt Liu. The other option is to serve your uncle with dignity and be a maidservant. You will be lucky. If she has a child, she must also be an aunt.
On both sides of the Xinjiang River, willows are green, flowers are red, grass grows and orioles are flying, and the warm spring breeze is blowing.
Hua Zhuo counted on his fingers and said, "Qiqiao, you are three years older than me. Now you are sixteen. It's time to get married. When you get home, I will ask my mother to make the decision for you. How about that?"
Qiqiao was packing her luggage when she saw Ah Fu slapped on the back of the head. She immediately sighed and murmured: "I'm not very smart to begin with. What will I do if I get slapped again?"

Ah Fu stroked the back of his head and hurried away without daring to say a word.

Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh, turned around and went out to convey the message.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
You have already gone home, you can say anything slowly, there is no need to rush. She comforted herself like this, and then Qiqiao and Gong Cai called over to arrange their hair and clothes. Finally, they put on their hats and slowly walked onto the bow to welcome their mother's arrival.
"Mommy is biased..."
Hua Xu became ruthless. Even though he was a literati, once he became ruthless, his ability to act was terrifying. In just half a month, the money was distributed, labor was recruited, and the river embankment was officially rebuilt. The people were very enthusiastic about this man. The Fuyin experts who spent their own money to build the river embankment were also very supportive. Anyone who had time and energy volunteered to apply for the job. The entire Huainan Prefecture was busy building the river embankment. Hua Xu was worried about his daughter and hoped that the river embankment would be repaired as quickly as possible. From that day on, all matters in the yamen were handed over to his subordinates, while he supervised the work on the river embankment all day long. The river embankment was naturally being repaired very quickly, and... There is no shoddy work at all. Just kidding, whoever dares to do anything under the eyes of Mr. Fu Yin will really think that the head on his neck is very hard.
The rain suddenly started falling in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop until dawn. It was as thin as silk and as long as sorrow. However, Hua Zhuo was filled with the joy of returning home at this time. There was no sentimentality at all. He didn't even hold an umbrella. , almost jumping off the boat.
"I'm home… "
She wanted to jump off the boat immediately, but at this time the sun was rising and people were coming and going on the pier. It was no longer the empty and silent scene before. As the daughter of the governor, she had to maintain the dignity of Rong'an Hall.
By the time Hua Xu received the imperial edict to allocate silver, the river embankment was almost half repaired. This is also the reason why Hua Zhuo came back from the waterway and saw that the river embankment was almost completed. In fact, the river embankment in Huainan Prefecture had been repaired long ago. The part of the river embankment adjacent to Fucheng that has not yet been fully completed. Hua Xu only used a small part of the money allocated by the imperial court to repair the river to make up for the shortfall. The rest was sealed and stored in the warehouse, waiting for the river embankment to be completed before being sent back to the imperial court.
Hua Zhuo saw him at the cabin door and immediately complained. It's not possible to rent a carriage, but it's OK to rent a horse. What's the point
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. This section of the embankment was being repaired much faster than Hua Zhuo imagined, and it was almost completed.
"Mommy is biased..."
"I'm home… "
Isn't it possible that some gods can help? Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a fast speed.
Hua Zhuo's heart was filled with doubts, like a cat's paw scratching his heart. It had been less than two months since the imperial court transferred the money. Counting all the miscellaneous procedures, and there was still time to transport the money, his father would never get more than Half a month, but at this time, it seems that most of the river embankment is almost repaired. She has not seen the remaining half, but judging from the progress, it is estimated that it will not be much slower, at least in It will definitely be repaired before this year's flood season.
The rain suddenly started falling in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop until dawn. It was as thin as silk and as long as sorrow. However, Hua Zhuo was filled with the joy of returning home at this time. There was no sentimentality at all. He didn't even hold an umbrella. , almost jumping off the boat.
It's just that Hua Xu didn't expect that the court would suddenly change its attitude and agree to allocate money while he was selling iron. Moreover, as soon as his wife came to Beijing, his daughter's marriage was settled. He could only lament that the world was unpredictable and full of twists and turns, but he didn't have much regret. , I can make more money by selling my property. I only have one daughter, as long as I come back safely, it will be fine.
Aunt Liu thought for a while and said: "There is a big pier half a day's journey away. Once you get to the shore, you will reach the county town. If Miss is not in a hurry to return home, we can rest in the county town for one night and then leave early tomorrow. After noon You’ll be home soon.”
After returning home after a long absence, Hua Zhuo could finally sit down and talk to his mother Fang after bathing and grooming. Originally he was just curious about why the river embankment was built so quickly, but Fang gave such an unexpected answer.

Hua Zhuo chuckled and said, "I don't want to wait any longer. Isn't there a carriage house over there? Rent a car. Let's go back now. I want to give my father and mother a surprise."
