Chapter 377 Extra: Daddy, we have connections!
On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Jiang Yuzhu had already made preparations and prepared the necessary medicines and clothes for the trip.
For dinner, because she was leaving Beijing, she cooked a large table of dishes herself.
After Xie Zhao left the yamen, he remained calm and took his two children to eat.
After eating and drinking, Xie Zhao discussed with Fugui and Wanwan in a friendly manner: "A primary school has recently opened in the palace. Can Daddy send you there?"
The Master is a young Hanlin, smart and lively. He is definitely not an old man like Zhang Hanlin who only knows how to talk about all kinds of things.
"Daddy will send you to your grandparents' house first. Jinbao and Yinbao are missing you."
Xie Zhao thought it would take a lot of talking and was ready to agree to several conditions to lure them in. However, without any further ado, the two little brats readily agreed.
After Fugui and Wanwan were sent to the Jiang family, Xie Zhao came out of the room and put the package on the table outside.
Jiang Yuzhu's eyelids twitched, and she pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yuanhe, what are you doing..."
She was about to speak, so she organized her words and said, "I plan to go to the northwest with my brother and sister-in-law, Zhilan and others tomorrow."
Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to hide it. Steward Xie in the mansion was Xie Zhao's spy, and he must have told her long ago.
During this period, Xie Zhao was busy with official duties and did not show any reaction. Jiang Yuzhu guessed that he agreed.
"Take your husband with you."
Xie Zhao came closer and teased, "Otherwise, I will be worried. Besides, everyone else is in pairs, how can Yuzhu be alone?"
Jiang Yuzhu asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?"
Can the Prime Minister of the current dynasty leave the capital at will?
Jiang Yuzhu was sure of this and wanted to go out and relax.
After living together for several years, she was a little bored.
Go out for a while, meet different people, change the taste, does Xie Zhao still want to go with you?
"Yuanhe, I will be back soon. You should stay in the capital to help the emperor deal with trivial matters and seek benefits for the people."
Jiang Yuzhu showed a trace of sorrow, "Although I hope you and I can be together as husband and wife, the affairs of the court are more important than the love between men and women, so..."
So she took a step back and went out to have fun!
Not bringing husband or kids, only family, the main point is to be unrestrained!
Jiang Yuzhu could no longer hide the smile in her eyes. Like a bird about to escape from a cage, she quickly lowered her head and sighed softly.
"Yuzhu, your husband wants to benefit the people, so he will go to the northwest to survey the defenses on behalf of the emperor."
This time, Xie Zhao went to the northwest as the Minister of Works with important tasks to attend to.
The emperor has issued an imperial decree that you can leave the capital in the next two days.
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
Your Majesty, it’s Your Majesty again!
Every time Jiang Yuzhu gets into bad luck, it's always because of this guy. He simply can't stand seeing others doing well!
When Xie Zhao went to handle a case, the emperor asked him to take her with him. When Xie Zhao went to the north, the emperor again issued an imperial decree, asking Jiang Yuzhu to accompany him.
This time, she finally changed her tactics and sent Xie Zhao to the northwest as well. Was this going against her?
"Your Majesty has good intentions."
Xie Zhao clasped his hands together and saluted in the direction of the imperial palace.
Xiao She said that he originally wanted to send an official to the northwest, and when he heard that Jiang Yuzhu was going to the northwest, it was a good opportunity to send Xie Zhao there.
Xiao She had suffered enough from the pain of missing his wife. If there were no female relatives at the morning court, Xiao She would have wanted to tie Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu together to attend court.
"When do you leave?"
Jiang Yuzhu was about to overflow with bitterness. She didn't even take care of the twins, so how could she be willing to take care of Xie Zhao!
The current situation is different from a few years ago. All of Lu Yunxi's remnants have been wiped out, so there is no major danger.
"Follow my wife. I have already packed my bags."
Xie Zhao was very decisive. He could even set off overnight.
With all her escape routes blocked, Jiang Yuzhu became depressed.
I knew Xie Zhao was so scheming and kept it a secret!
The route for this trip to the northwest had already been decided, so Jiang Yuzhu had no choice but to agree.
After daybreak, she sent someone to inform the families traveling with her to meet at the dock.
The official ships were ready, one was used specifically to transport carriages, horses and luggage, and the other was used as a passenger ship.
It was hot and humid on the boat.
Jiang Yuzhu brought a lot of peppers, seasonings, and fishing nets and fishing rods, planning to catch fish in the river and make grilled fish and cold noodles as appetizers.
Since the ingredients could not be stored, she used ice cubes to preserve them.
After several maids tidied up the cabin, Jiang Yuzhu got together with her eldest and second sisters-in-law, Shen Zhilan.
"Yuzhu, why haven't I heard that Yuanhe is also going to the northwest?"
They met at the dock. Princess Yutan thought Xie Zhao was there to see her off, but she actually saw Xie Zhao calmly boarding the official ship with his bag rolled up.
"The emperor issued an imperial decree to send him to the northwest for an investigation."
Jiang Yuzhu's smile was very unnatural. Could it be that she was the one who invited them?
She told the truth, but the others didn't quite believe it. They thought Xie Zhao was worried about Jiang Yuzhu going out, which had left a trauma on him a few years ago, so he wanted to follow her.
"Yuzhu, you are very lucky. Yuanhe loves you deeply. You two really can't be separated."
Princess Yutan said enviously.
Jiang Yuzhu felt embarrassed and felt even more upset. What should she do?
Xie Zhao came along, and he could no longer look down upon strong men or taste fine wine. His carefree days were over.
He spends a lot of time every day staring at Xie Zhao. If he doesn't get tired of her, then she will! Where is the freshness?
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuzhu suddenly felt a very powerless sense of fate.
I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't escape.
"Fortunately, Fugui and Wanwan are no longer around, so I can still have a few days of peace and quiet."
As the official ship left the dock, Jiang Yuzhu's mood improved.
After walking for a few hours, Hong Jin exclaimed, "Madam, please come out and take a look!"
"Why, the big fish was caught?"
It was afternoon and the sun was scorching.
There was no shelter on the deck and the heat was very severe.
Jiang Yuzhu walked out of the cabin, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and said in surprise: "Fugui, Wanwan, aren't you in Jiang's house?"
Two little kids were sitting at the cabin door.
Fugui smiled shyly and said, "Mom, you found out."
Together with their cousin Jinbao, they deceived the servants of the Jiang Mansion. The servants thought that Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao had suddenly changed their minds, so they sent them to the official ship.
When the servant saw Liang An beside Xie Zhao, he went back with peace of mind.
Fugui and Wanwan were afraid of being sent back immediately, so they stayed calm and hid on the boat for a few hours.
"Mom, Daddy is with you, how can we be left out?"
"Yes, the teacher said that we should see the world, so we want to go to the northwest to have a look."
After saying that, Fugui took out his purse, handed it carefully to Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Mother, leave this money here for now."
Jiang Yuzhu opened her purse and found thousands of taels of silver in it. She asked with a headache, "Where did it come from?"
"I borrowed some from my cousin Jinbao, and some from my grandmother and grandmother-in-law. My sister and I wrote IOUs. This is the capital for the business."
Fugui looked trusting, they believed in their mother.
Xie Zhao, who had rushed over after hearing the news, asked, "Why not leave it here with Daddy?"
"Dad, you have no experience."
Fugui answered with high emotional intelligence, but his words were very clear: Daddy turned in all the money he had, so when did he ever have any money in his hands?
What if I leave several thousand taels with my father and he embezzles public funds?
Xie Zhao: "..."
What if he couldn't hear it?
"How did you know that my parents were going to the northwest?"
Xie Zhao calmed down for a moment and continued to ask.
Wanwan held her head high and said proudly, "Dad, we have connections!" She and her brother would not betray others.
In short, they all followed, and the official ship had no way to stop midway.
Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu looked at each other, and they suddenly felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
Jiang Yuzhu, in particular, felt a little relieved. Her plan had failed, and Xie Zhao had not accomplished anything!
Next, the game between the twins and Xie Zhao officially began. Jiang Yuzhu waited to see Xie Zhao fail step by step and be washed onto the beach by the waves behind.
