Chapter 318 Return to the Small Fishing Village



Xiaoguo put down the towel and Jiang Shanhe turned around and went out to pour water.

She coaxed Zhuangzhuang gently, and after his breathing became even, she pulled the quilt beside her and covered him with it.

When Jiang Shanhe came back, Zhuangzhuang had already fallen asleep.

The two of them sat down at the table. Jiang Shanhe poured her a glass of water and said softly, "We will reach our destination tomorrow, so we should rest outside tonight so that we can set off tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xiao Guo nodded and said, "It will take another day to get there tomorrow?"

"Almost. We'll be there in the evening."

Xiao Guo nodded and asked, "Where is the summer resort?"

"An island, you need to cross the sea, a naturally formed island."

"Cross the sea, by boat?"

When Xiaoguo thought of the sea, the first thing that came to her mind was seafood. She wanted to go fishing!

Jiang Shanhe nodded, thinking that she liked taking a boat ride, so he secretly made a note in his heart and planned to take her on a boat ride more often in the future.

"Do you have a fishing rod?"

The other party's words changed too quickly, and Jiang Shanhe couldn't keep up, so his brain went blank for a moment, "I think there should be."

There are always people who like fishing among the participants, so there should be people who will prepare.

"That's great!" Xiaoguo tried hard to suppress the joy in his heart.

Jiang Shanhe looked at her in confusion. It turned out that his wife was a fishing enthusiast. It seemed that he would have to accompany her fishing often in the future.

"By the way, does your uncle know that you are out?"

Jiang Shanhe suddenly thought of Qin Anming. Xiaoguo was also going on a long trip, and Qin Anming would be worried if he didn't see her when he returned.

"I told him. I told him on the way to pick up Zhuangzhuang." Xiaoguo smiled. He was quite considerate.

"Have you planted the land at home? I was supposed to go back, but something delayed me."

Jiang Shanhe had already prepared to go back, but something happened along the way.

"Yes, my brother and I planted them together." Xiaoguo glanced at him. Why did he suddenly become so nagging?

"I'll be back when the harvest is almost over. Don't do anything. Just wait until I get back and do it."

Xiao Guo was about to say no, but seeing the sincere look in the other person's eyes, she swallowed her words, nodded and said, "Okay."

After hearing this, Jiang Shanhe showed a happy expression on his face, and then laughed silently.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Jiang Shanhe shook his head, "I just want to laugh."

"..." Xiao Guo looked at him and shook her head in surprise. How could work be so beautiful? Then she looked back at the bed and said, "Go to sleep."

It was getting late, and Zhuangzhuang was almost ready to take a nap.

Jiang Shanhe nodded, and the two of them continued to sit on each side, with Qiangqiang in the middle. Fortunately, the bed was big enough for three people to lie on.

Xiao Guo didn't sleep well for the whole night, and the sounds of footsteps and burning bonfires filled his ears all night.

The next morning, Xiaoguo was in bed and heard the sound of someone getting dressed outside. She opened her eyes and found that it was Jiang Shanhe who was dressing Zhuangzhuang.

"Did I wake you up?" Jiang Shanhe had sharp ears and he heard Xiaoguo's movements at the first moment.

"No." Xiao Guo shook his head, stood up and looked outside. He found that there was no light, so it should still be early. "What are you doing?"

"Zhuangzhuang needs to go to the toilet."

Zhuangzhuang nodded in agreement in a daze.

After getting dressed, the two went out. As soon as they left, Xiaoguo didn't want to lie down anymore, so he got up from bed as well.

The two came back soon, bringing breakfast and a basin of water.

Xiaoguo quickly took the basin from Zhuangzhuang's hand and put it on a stool where it would not be in the way.

After a quick wash, the three of them started to eat breakfast.

Just when I was halfway through my meal, I heard a greeting from outside. A small figure came in through the curtain and shouted, "Zhuangzhuang!"

Her big eyes immediately locked onto the figure stuffing the steamed buns, and she excitedly ran over to hug him, "Hey, you're so strong, I missed you so much!"

"Ahem, Xiaoyi, I miss you too!"

Zhuangzhuang spat out the steamed bun that was almost stuck in his throat and hugged him back happily.

Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe were eating their meals by themselves, but they didn't forget to look at the two people hugging each other. Children's emotions are pure and they would hug each other tightly for a long time when they see each other.

For breakfast, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe fed one child each. Neither of the two children had eaten. Xiaoyi heard that Zhuangzhuang and the others were coming as soon as he got up, so he put on his clothes and ran over. Actually, he wanted to come with his underwear on so that he could sleep in the same quilt with Zhuangzhuang, but the people who served him coaxed and begged him to give up the idea and let him go only after he was dressed neatly.

After breakfast, it was time to set off. After Jiang Shanhe arranged for Xiaoguo, he returned to his post.

When they got on the carriage, Xiaoguo put her bag aside. She was the only one in the carriage. Jiang Shanhe was working and needed to ride a horse, and Zhuangzhuang was called away by Xiaoyi. He originally wanted to call Xiaoguo over, but she refused. It was not because she was unwilling, but this time there were many ministers and their families following them, and it was not convenient for her to get too close to the prince. They didn't care about this when there was no one around, but there were other people present, and she couldn't mess up the hierarchy in this situation.

Just like Jiang Shanhe, he and Shao Zhan are brothers in private, but he cannot act recklessly in public.

The carriage started moving quickly, Xiaoguo opened the curtain and looked out.

Jiang Shanhe rode a horse and led the vanguard, walking in the front, followed closely by Li Shouji. He was surrounded by armored officers and soldiers, and cavalrymen protected him on both sides.

Soldiers holding sharp spears surrounded the entire large force, making it impossible to get out of the way and giving people a sense of security.

The emperor's carriage was in the center, followed closely by the prince's carriage.

Because Xiaoguo was a relative of a general, he followed directly behind the prince's carriage and was in the center. Behind him followed the ministers and their families, who were ranked according to their rank and lined up in an orderly manner.

Xiaoguo glanced behind him, then looked away, lowered the curtain and sat back down.

Just now, she was the first one to get on the carriage. She looked at the other ministers' families. They were all in casual clothes, very low-key, but exuding a sense of nobility. Even their age was a mystery. The ministers were so old, but the families they brought with them were all elegant and refined.

Xiaoguo thought she had a good temperament and good looks, and she was confident in her figure, so she was not afraid of losing face for Jiang Shanhe. This time she went out, she specially brought very expensive and beautiful clothes, just to add color to Jiang Shanhe.

Although she is not worried that Jiang Shanhe will be dazzled by the butterflies out there, she has to keep up with the pace and not become a shrew. She wants to be a super beautiful wife!

Having made up her mind, she decided that the first thing she would do when she arrived at her destination was to take a shower and then get dressed properly. She didn't seek to outshine the others, but just wanted to avoid losing face!

I thought the carriage wouldn't stop so soon, but it suddenly stopped halfway. Xiao Guo looked outside curiously and found that it was still daylight and not yet time for dinner, so why did it stop suddenly? It couldn't be arriving so soon.

"Xiaoguo." Just as she was thinking, Jiang Shanhe came over in a hurry and said concisely, "We can't get on the boat today. We have to go tomorrow morning, so we have to rest in the small fishing village tonight."

"Small fishing village?" Xiaoguo repeated it and found it sounded very familiar. Isn't this the village by the sea that he had heard of before?

"Yes, I'll come find you later, wait for me for a moment."

Jiang Shanhe had important matters to attend to, so he spoke briefly to her and rode back to the front.

Originally, he didn't need to run errands for this matter, but he was worried about Xiaoguo, so he went there in person. After giving her instructions and seeing her nod, he felt a little relieved.

Xiaoguo watched his receding figure, then looked at the surrounding environment. Isn't it said that the small fishing village is close to the sea? Why is there no sea here, and no beach either?
