Chapter 433 434. Hurrying on the Road

Wang Caiyue stood there aggrieved, "Mom, what about me? What should I do?"

Li Cuicui pursed her lips and said, "If you are really free, take a few nieces and nieces to clean up the front and back of my house, so that the two children won't run around and trip over them."

Wang Caiye couldn't help but keep muttering, "How can she be so precious? All the children in our family grew up with hardships. Only Jin is so pretentious."

Li Cuicui glared at him and said, "Come on, don't do anything else. Just keep your mouth shut."

Gu Sanbu saw that Li Cuicui had arranged everything, and then he looked at Li Cuicui and said sincerely, "Daughter-in-law Dashi, you really gave birth to an incredible son for our Gu family."

Now Gu Wenheng is already the prefect of a city at such a young age. Just be bold and think about it. The future is promising.

Li Cuicui smiled and glanced at the sons present, "I think as long as they don't cheat or play tricks, they can all be extraordinary."

By the time Jin Qianqian left the county, the news of Gu Wenheng's promotion to prefect had already spread after being intentionally leaked by Butler Fu.

The lady who was originally planning to visit prepared another gift, which was three times heavier than the original one.

However, Jin Qianqian didn't know all this. At this moment, she had already been warmly welcomed into everyone's home.

Li Cuicui hugged Gu Bencan and said, "If we had known you would come back, we would have waited for you for two more days. You will have a companion on the road."

Jin Qianqian, "This news came too suddenly, and it's not easy to accompany my husband on a long journey with two children at this time, so we thought about going home to stay for a while, accompany our mother, and then go to Lucheng in the spring."

Li Cuicui touched her grandson's head and said, "That's right. I wonder if the place where Old Seventh is going will be colder than here. How is it there? Is it good?"

Jin Qianqian, "I really don't know about this. When I get there, I will definitely write a letter back to tell mother."

Li Cuicui patted her arm gently and said, "You're already a mother, but you're still so naughty."

Jin Qianqian grinned at her, and was soon called over by her sister-in-law to chat.

Gu Benluo looked at so many people looking around curiously. Except for his grandmother and fourth uncle, he felt that everyone was a little strange.

Because of his cute appearance, all the women in the Gu family liked to touch and hug him. Later, he was so scared that he followed his brother and hid in his grandmother's arms, which made Li Cuicui so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

In stark contrast to the warmth here, Gu Wenheng was walking on a muddy road at this time.

There were constant complaints coming from the carriages behind. "It was supposed to be a government road, but it's like this. Don't these people know how to fix it? Or do they never go out at all?"

Jiang Shuiniu, who was riding a horse to explore the way ahead, was now covered in mud. He was seen using a stick to probe every puddle to make sure the wheels of the carriage could pass through. Then he made a gesture to Hong Da who was driving the car.

In this way, the speed slowed down, and as time passed, we had missed the meal time, but we had not yet walked out of this muddy road.

Gu Wenheng took out the beef jerky that Jin Qianqian had stuffed into the carriage earlier and asked Mingfeng to give a handful to each guard. He leaned back on the pillow and took bites of it.

He Gaofei's bodyguard Le Yimu pressed his belly and looked at the team in front with envy again.

Because their carriage followed behind Lord Gu, he saw everything they said and did.

Even the treatment of the escort driver along the way was enough to make him jealous.

No matter what Mr. Gu eats or uses, the people around him are treated the same way.

Unlike this master in the family, he is really not worldly. He just stays in the carriage and would rather the cakes in the carriage go bad than share even a single one with them.

Looking at the relatively flat and dry ground ahead, Jiang Shuiniu came over and asked, "Sir, there is a suitable place to rest ahead. Do you want to stop and rest?"

Gu Wenheng lifted the curtain and took a look. "Tell the people behind to prepare to rest and eat some dry food before continuing on the journey."

Ever since they had a meal together last time, the other three said in unison that they would follow Gu Wenheng's arrangements along the way, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, they agreed to this matter themselves. Even if they have objections, they can only keep it to themselves. Gu Wenheng doesn't have to hear different voices every time.

As soon as the carriage pulled to the side, He Gaofei and the others each held their waists and rubbed their buttocks, and carefully got off the carriage with the help of their entourage.

Seeing Gu Wenheng still trying to turn his body, Lu Shenggen asked curiously, "Don't you think that these roads are so bumpy that people's bones are about to fall apart?"

Gu Wenheng would naturally not show off his carriage at this time. It had been improved and shock-absorbing. "Put more cotton quilts on it. If you feel uncomfortable sitting, you can stand up. This way, at least it can provide some relief."

Lu Shenggen glanced at Ming Feng, who was standing beside him without any sign of fatigue, and said, "The people around Lord Gu are not simple."

Ming Feng: "..." What did you say? Did I miss a sentence because I slept too much in the carriage? ?

Gu Wenheng smiled and didn't explain much. He stood quietly by the side, watching Jiang Shuiniu and the others busy setting up the stove and boiling water.

He Gaofei and his people were also mixed in, lending a hand from the sidelines, so that they wouldn't have to go through the trouble of starting the stove and boiling water again.

"Master Gu, we have been running for so many days, we should be halfway there, right?" Wu Yichen stared at the muddy road ahead and asked worriedly, "Is the road behind the road like this too?"

Gu Wenheng thought for a moment and said, "We have already walked most of the way. If we encounter bad weather, the rest of the journey will probably be even more difficult."

"Is there a more difficult road to travel than this one?" Wu Yichen was a little bit unbelievable. "This is a government road. Don't the local government care?"

Gu Wenheng, "That depends on when. Even if we need to renovate it, we won't tidy up the ground until the spring.

Due to the heavy rain some time ago, it is normal that the land is full of mud and potholes.

Luckily we didn’t encounter a snowstorm these days, otherwise you can imagine that if we were to take this road again, we would probably have to get off and walk.”

"Not really?" Wu Yichen looked up at Gu Wenheng, "Master Gu has walked this road before?"

Gu Wenheng, "No, it's just that an elder mentioned it, so no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we have to keep moving forward, otherwise we will suffer more the further we go."

He Gaofei had secretly thought in his mind that he would rest for a while when he reached the next stop and wait for the soil on the ground to dry before continuing on his journey. But now it seems that it is not possible.
