Chapter 378 Slap in the Face
After preparing everything and arranging things, Shen Yueyao accompanied Su Xueyi in a carriage to the capital.
Because they had space and money, their journey was much smoother.
When they were camping in the wilderness, Shen Yueyao took out the tent. They set up the tent in the wild and put out the things in the space one by one to keep warm.
Because there is a space pharmacy, there are also those warm patches that you can stick on your body to keep it warm.
The capital is to the southeast of their place, so when walking towards this side, one can feel that the air temperature on the road is slightly warmer than here.
The closer we got to the capital, the warmer the weather became. By mid-February, the ice on all the rivers had melted.
Shen Yueyao could also see some boats on the river.
When entering the Anzhou area, there are many rivers in Anzhou and many people use boats.
If you go to the capital, it is faster to take a boat.
That afternoon they checked into the inn. Shen Yueyao discussed with Su Xueyi, "I've thought about it. If we take the boat, it will be faster and save half the time to get to the capital. That way, we can reach the capital in four or five days. But if we take the carriage all the way, it will probably take twice as long."
Su Xueyi said, "It's actually okay. During this time, many people from all over the country come to the capital to take the imperial examinations. There are also some local officials who need to come to the capital to report their positions, so they need a lot of ships. If you rent a ship at this time, the price will definitely be expensive."
"It's the same if we take the carriage. The exam won't be delayed."
The scientific examination will be held in mid-March.
There is still time.
Shen Yueyao said: "Don't worry about the money. I brought enough money with me this time. I can do whatever is convenient for you."
"If we get to the capital earlier, we can arrange many things earlier, and you can study in peace earlier. Besides, I want to take a boat."
Shen Yueyao was afraid that Su Xueyi would have a psychological burden, so she said that she wanted to take a boat.
"I've never been on a boat before, and I don't know what it's like. It's a good opportunity to take a boat and enjoy the scenery along the way."
How could Su Xueyi not understand Shen Yueyao's delicate thoughts?
Knowing that she did all this for him.
Su Xueyi felt warm in her heart and said, "Okay, let's take a boat."
"Then I'll go to the dock and charter a boat. It'll be just right for us to put our carriage on board."
Shen Yueyao was reluctant to sell the carriage.
After entering the capital and settling down, you will still need a horse-drawn carriage to travel.
Besides, if I sell the carriage here and buy another one in the capital, the price may be doubled.
Shen Yueyao felt that when going out, one should save what should be saved and not save what should not be saved.
When they arrive at the capital's dock and get off the dock, they will need a carriage to go somewhere.
So Shen Yueyao planned to charter a larger ship directly.
Since she had discussed it with Su Xueyi, Shen Yueyao went to the dock with Su Xueyi, booked a better boat, and paid a deposit.
Then we can set off by boat the next morning.
But the next morning, when Shen Yueyao and the others went to the dock, they looked for Boss Zhu and prepared to board the ship.
Shen Yueyao knew which boat was chartered at that time.
But just when Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi were about to board the boat, a man in gorgeous clothes came out. He looked to be in his twenties, glanced at Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi with contempt, and said arrogantly: "Who are you? How dare you board my boat."
Shen Yueyao looked at the man's arrogant look, frowned and was about to say something.
Su Xueyi stepped forward to protect Shen Yueyao and said, "Sir, we have already booked this ship last night, so we will board this ship."
The man clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "I booked this boat. You guys are so good that you can book a boat? Don't try to fool me. I am the son of the Fengzhou County Magistrate. We are from the Lu family in the capital. You two lowly people want to share a boat with me? You are overestimating yourselves."
"Come on, kick them out."
For the sake of convenience, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi dressed relatively simply and low-key when traveling, so as to facilitate their journey and avoid attracting more attention.
I never thought someone would be so contemptuous.
No, calling this person "dog-eyed" is an insult to dogs.
A sharp cold light flashed across Su Xueyi's eyes.
A murderous aura emanated from him.
When he is out, Su Xueyi doesn't care how others treat him.
He had suffered during his exile, so naturally he didn't care about such small remarks.
But Yao Niang is his wife and the person he loves the most. How could he let Yao Niang suffer any injustice?
Realizing that Su Xueyi was about to take action, Shen Yueyao hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, let's go ask Boss Zhu and we'll know."
When Su Xueyi heard Shen Yueyao's voice, the anger in her body eased a little.
He turned to look at Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao shook her head at him and said, "We are here to go to the capital smoothly. We should avoid offending people like this, but we will deal with them one day."
Shen Yueyao glanced coldly at the arrogant man.
Su Xueyi sighed inwardly and felt even more guilty.
Shen Yueyao actually didn't care, because she would find out the reason later. If this person humiliated others for no reason, she would teach him a lesson.
Shen Yueyao discovered that since the space was upgraded, the spiritual energy in the space has become more and more rich.
She absorbed more spiritual energy into her body, and her strength and mental power became stronger.
She can use her mental power to explore the surrounding situation and do things remotely.
So Shen Yueyao raised the corner of her mouth in a mocking arc.
When they found Boss Zhu who was greeting customers nearby, he didn't wait for them to say anything.
Boss Zhu quickly took out the deposit and said, "I'm so sorry, you two. The boat you reserved last night has been reserved. I was going to return the deposit to you."
Shen Yueyao held the purse and said coldly, "Boss Zhu, this is the rule of doing business in this industry. You can go back on your word even after making an agreement. I don't know if others will dare to do business with you if you behave like this."
At this moment, the aura around Shen Yueyao was released, and even Boss Zhu felt a powerful pressure.
This startled him and he was unable to react.
But looking at the clothes of the two people in front of him, he said indifferently: "You two, there is nothing we can do about it. They are from the Lu family in the capital. They are an aristocratic family and have produced high-ranking officials. Although County Magistrate Lu is only a concubine's son, he has a strong background. Besides, even if you are not commoners, you are businessmen. Your status cannot be compared with that of an official..."
"I advise you to be more sensible. I am doing this for your own good. Besides, they insisted on renting my boat, so I have no choice."
Boss Zhu spoke nicely, but his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't take Shen Yueyao and the others seriously.
After saying this, Boss Zhu ignored Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi at all.
He hurried over to a nearby carriage, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. "Ah, Boss Guo, you're finally here. I wonder if I can order a few jars of wine from you this time. You know how popular that wine is right now. You helped me establish some connections, so you must help me."
Boss Guo smiled and said, "No problem. They don't sell alcohol during the Spring Festival. I was watching it at the beginning of the spring and quickly bought a batch. You're quite good at it, kid. I'll leave you two jars this time."
"Ah, just two jars..."
Then Boss Zhu wanted to make another request.
Boss Guo said, "My master loves wine the most. He injured his bones in his early years, and drinking this wine is the most effective."
"Yes, yes."
Boss Zhu nodded and bowed to Boss Guo.
While the two were talking, Boss Guo looked into the distance and saw Shen Yueyao.
He was so excited that he quickly pushed aside Boss Zhu in front of him and walked towards Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi, saying enthusiastically: "Boss Shen, Mr. Su."
Normally, he is called Mr. Su and Mrs. Su.
But the truth is that they deal with Boss Shen a lot on a daily basis, so they can't treat her as an ordinary woman.
He also found out the identity of Mr. Su. He was a person who had a relationship with the current emperor. Old Man Su was the teacher of the current emperor. Strictly speaking, he is now the emperor's teacher.
Although the Su family was exiled that year, based on the relationship between the Su family and the current emperor, they will definitely be reused.
Not to mention that Master Su always ranked first in every imperial examination.
Besides, his wife is more than just a good wife.
This family is about to make a comeback.
Boss Guo naturally wants to maintain a good relationship with them.
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Su and Boss Shen here. If you two need any help, please let me know. It would be an honor for me to be able to help..."
Boss Guo always spoke with respect.
This series of attitude changes actually shocked Boss Zhu who was standing next to him.
Boss Zhu was like being struck by lightning and didn't react for a long time.
Although Boss Guo is just a boss, he works for the son of the Governor's Mansion.
Most people like him would not be in his eyes. If he had not made a few friends with Boss Guo when he was down and out, he would not be able to establish a friendship with Boss Guo now.
Who would have thought that such a person would be so respectful to the couple he had just looked down upon.
This...his face was burning.
Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows and said, "Nothing, is that Boss Zhu someone you know?"
Boss Guo saw that Shen Yueyao looked unhappy, and his heart skipped a beat. His expression changed as he said, "We have known each other before."
Shen Yueyao said with a cold expression, "Boss Guo, I'm a rather overbearing person. If others respect me, I will naturally respect them, but if they bully me, I will certainly not let it go. I can't control other matters for now, but I can ask that anything sold in my workshop not be sold to Boss Zhu."
Boss Guo's face changed, and he naturally understood that Boss Zhu had offended Shen Yueyao.
There was some cold sweat on his forehead, and he could only nod.
Of course, he couldn't lose his business with Boss Shen for the sake of Boss Zhu.
Everything that comes out of Boss Shen’s workshop is good stuff. Even though they are just those things, they are of great help to him and the adults.
Because some relationships need to be opened with these things.
Not to mention that some wines nowadays cannot be bought with just money.
He thought about turning back and urging Boss Zhu to apologize quickly, so that he wouldn't get Boss Shen angry.
Boss Zhu's face turned pale, and he was still stunned after hearing these words.
But before he could come to his senses and apologize or try to please her.
But at this moment, a low-key and luxurious ship stopped at the dock.
Several Jinyiwei came out from the dock.
Everyone was wearing the uniforms of the Jinyiwei and carrying the Jinyiwei tokens, which made everyone present turn pale and dared not say a word.
The Jinyiwei are the emperor's eyes and ears, and they are the people who do things for the emperor.
And the man in the lead was Lord Lu, the newly appointed commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Those who knew this person were a little scared.
It’s true that everyone knows the Jinyiwei’s style of doing things.
Then there is Lord Lu Yechen, who has the same style as his father and has outstanding abilities. He has done a lot of good things for the emperor and is also valued by the emperor.
At this moment, Lu Yechen walked up to Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi and said, "Brother Su, Madam Su."
Su Xueyi looked at Lu Yechen's attire and was not surprised, "Lord Lu."
"Brother Su, you are too polite. Brother Su and Madam Su must be going to Beijing. We are on our way there. If Brother Su and Madam Su don't mind, please come aboard."
