Chapter 259 Did I Offend Him?
Wu Ci looked at Zhou Yunshu strangely and said, "No."
Ever since his lover's Gu was taken away by Lin Fuyanshun and passed on to Zhou Yunshu, Wu Ciyi no longer had any extra lover's Gu on his body.
"Love Gu isn't everywhere. The one I planted on you was the only one I had with me."
Who would go out with a box of love poison for no reason? He was going out to do something, not to find a wife.
Zhou Yunshu felt relieved when she heard Wu Ci say that. As long as it wasn't a love poison, she was glad.
But Zhou Yunshu thought of Cen Miaofu's recent strange behavior and asked, "Has Cen Miaofu come to see you?"
Wu Ci shook his head. "I don't know her, but her brother often comes to my house to play with the kids in the village."
Zhou Yunshu's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "Find a chance to help Yunjia check if he has any poisonous insects."
"Ah?" Wu Ciyi thought Zhou Yunshu had misunderstood him and quickly said, "I didn't cast a spell!"
During this period of time, he also realized how taboo the Zhou family was about poisonous insects, so he would not bring any poisonous insects when he came to the Zhou family now. He didn't want to be kicked out of the Zhou family!
"I didn't say it was you, I just asked you to help take a look."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wu Ci, who was relieved, and said, "Please look after the house for me. I'll bring you something delicious and fun when I come back."
"Okay!" Wu Ciyi agreed immediately.
Haha, he used to envy others, but now someone brings him delicious and fun things, that’s great!
…
When Zhou Yunshu got on the carriage and left Dongwang Village, she kept tightly holding the small purse that Xixi gave her.
There was still a long way to go, so Zhou Yunshu opened the purse her daughter gave her, and saw a purse full of small goldfish and gold leaves.
Zhou Yunshu poured these little goldfish in front of herself. She remembered that these were the New Year's money given to Xixi by the elders in her family during the Chinese New Year.
Unexpectedly, she had no use for it at all, so I saved it all and gave it to her.
Zhou Yunshu's eyes were hot. She took a deep breath, lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at Chu San who was driving the carriage. She said to Chun Que who was sitting next to her, "Don't rush to leave after we gather in Dongchuan City. Buy some dry food for us to eat on the way."
"Yes, Master."
After Zhou Yunshu finished her instructions, she looked to the side and saw Kang Jingyu, who was holding the reins and following Wu Gui beside the carriage.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Kang Jingyu who kept talking to Wu Gui, wondering if he was serious about Wu Gui or just thinking it was novel and fun.
If Kang Jingyu hadn't had a bad reputation in the past, Zhou Yunshu would have kicked him out long ago.
As for now...
Zhou Yunshu looked at the two of them and decided to let things take their course.
Zhou Yunshu was helpless, while Wu Gui was speechless. She said to Kang Jingyu, who was not clearly visible but kept talking beside her, "Master Kang, could you be quiet for a moment?"
"I'm afraid you'll be bored." The person who is being disliked feels a little aggrieved.
"I like quietness." Wu Gui said.
Well, actually I don’t like it that much, but Kang Jingyu is really noisy.
“I like it too!”
Wu Gui listened to Kang Jingyu's excited voice, kicked his horse, and sped up to distance himself from him.
Even if she was slow-witted, she noticed Kang Jingyu's feelings for her, but she had a mother-in-law and a son, so she really had no thoughts of remarrying. She felt that her current life was pretty good.
She would not be separated from her son. No one knew better than her how difficult life would be for a child without a mother, and she would not let her son live that kind of life.
Kang Jingyu looked at Wu Gui avoiding him and silently recalled how his father had coaxed his mother in the past.
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be nothing more than saying nice words, giving nice things, sending flowers and cooking.
Kang Jingyu tried almost all of these, but Wu Gui didn't like them. As for cooking, he didn't want to poison Wu Gui.
In fact, Kang Jingyu didn’t know how he fell in love with Wu Gui.
Obviously, he just thought she was interesting at the beginning, but gradually his eyes were fixed on her and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
At first, Kang Jingyu really didn't take this seriously, until he found that he would be unhappy and even a little angry when he saw Wu Gui having fun with other people, he felt miserable.
For example, now.
Kang Jingyu felt jealous when he saw Wu Gui getting off his horse and asking Cen Miaoying about her well-being.
Even though he knew they were all women, Kang Jingyu still couldn't get rid of the sour feeling.
Cen Miaoying had always been sensitive. She secretly glanced at Kang Jingyu, who was looking at her with a face full of resentment, and said to Wu Gui, "Mrs. Wu... Master, have I offended Master Kang?"
She didn't want to offend anyone in her husband's family, but she really couldn't think of when she had offended Kang Jingyu. It seemed that this Mr. Kang had disliked her since the first time they met.
Wu Gui glanced at Kang Jingyu and said to Cen Miaoying, "You haven't offended him. He has a bad eye and looks at everyone fiercely."
Cen Miaoying really wanted to tell Wu Gui that Kang Jingyu’s eyes were not fierce when he looked at her, but after thinking about it, she nodded.
Their convoy consisted of two carriages and five horses.
In the car where Zhou Yunshu was, Chu San was working as a part-time driver, and Chun Que was sitting next to him.
The remaining carriage was loaded with food and luggage, driven by Yan Shilei, with Cen Miaoying sitting next to him.
As for the remaining five horses, one was ridden by Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui in turn, and the remaining four were ridden by Yan Shilei's men and Peng Tianhe. Kang Jingyu and his servant were not counted among them.
Dongchuan City has a dock.
Although Haizhou has developed river transportation, there are also many pirates.
Land transportation is slower than water transportation, but it is relatively safer.
After the convoy left Dongchuan City, Zhou Yunshu hung up the curtains. Wu Gui couldn't stand Kang Jingyu's nagging, so he simply got on the carriage.
“Is the map accurate?”
Wu Gui looked at the map that Zhou Yunshu had kept on her lap since entering Dongchuan City and asked.
“It’s accurate, but not detailed enough.”
For example, the road they are walking on now has several forks that are not on the map. The person who came to draw the map thought that they were small paths and were not important, so he did not record them.
Zhou Yunshu took the charcoal pencil and drew two strokes on it, saying, "We still need to transport it by river."
"Then we have to wipe out all the water bandits in southern Haizhou." Wu Gui had been out once before and was familiar with the rampant water bandits in southern Haizhou.
Zhou Yunshu shook her head, "No need to wipe them out."
She put down the charcoal pencil in her hand. "But there should be a bigger water bandit."
She wanted to give credit to the imperial court for nothing by wiping out the rebellion, but she didn't have the habit of making wedding dresses for others.
Not to mention that 70% of Haizhou’s development to its current state is due to the imperial court.
Zhou Yunshu looked through the curtain at Chu San who was driving the carriage outside. She had to find a way to get Chu San out of the way, otherwise her trip out would be no different from being under her grandmother's watchful eyes.
In the afternoon, the convoy passed through a village, and Yan Shilei asked Zhou Yunshu if she wanted to stay overnight.
Zhou Yunshu lifted the car curtain and looked at the village not far away and said, "Keep going."
After hearing this, Yan Shilei did not ask why and continued to let his men clear the way outside.
Wu Gui in the carriage asked, "Is there something wrong with that village?"
"Do you think the village just now is big?"
Wu Gui shook his head and said, "It's probably only half the size of Dongwang Village."
"Don't you think it's strange that such a big village has a dock that can accommodate three or four ships?"
Wu Gui frowned as he thought of a possible situation. "The village of the pirates?"
"possible."
