Chapter 203 204. Convoy
Gu Wenheng did not think of getting off the carriage to check. He waited for about five minutes and, regardless of the situation of the convoy behind him, he directly told Hong Da, "Let's go."
Hong Da cracked the whip and immediately hit the reins to let the horse continue walking.
Hong Tianbao, who was still on the roadside preparing to come over to report the news, also chose a nearby carriage and jumped on it and sat side by side with the coachman.
Their carriage was originally in the front, and its movement represented the master's intention. The carriages behind did not dare to delay and followed suit one after another.
Song Xiuniang, who was struggling to find someone there, no longer cared about anything else and simply climbed onto one of the carriages and squeezed in.
Looking at the strange women in the car, Song Xiuniang asked anxiously, "This is the Gu family's convoy, right?"
"Of course, young lady, we have never seen each other before. Did you get on the wrong car?" One of the old women looked at her carefully, from her messy hair to the thin package, her tone was full of inquiry.
"That's right, my husband is the young master of this family, but I don't know which car he is in now. Sorry to bother you mothers-in-law."
"Young Master Tang?" As the manager of the soap workshop, Mrs. Li was more alert than others. "How come I haven't heard of it?"
Song Xiuniang's face flashed with embarrassment, "My husband rarely follows Uncle Seventh, and I haven't met you all."
"Then why did you come here just now? What if you don't catch up, won't you be separated from your husband?" Mrs. Li patted the seat next to her, "Sit here first. Don't get bumped when the carriage starts to shake."
Thinking of the convoy that had just stopped, Mrs. Li wanted to wait and see. What if they really were relatives of the master's family? It would be bad if she offended them.
Jin Qianqian thought they had set out relatively early, but she didn't expect that when they arrived at the official road in Haicheng, there were already a few carriages parked on the side.
Seeing their arrival, many people poked their heads out curiously.
Before Jin Qianqian and the others could confirm which familiar faces had arrived, Song Xiuniang, who was following behind, had already jumped off the carriage impatiently, constantly calling out "husband, Le family".
Jin Qianqian felt angry, "What does she want to do?"
Gu Wenheng patted her hands and said, "Don't be angry because of her."
Gu Wenheng took out a divorce letter from his sleeve and handed it directly to Fu Guanjia who was already waiting outside, "If she continues to cause trouble, let her take this and go back.
If she is sensible, Qingmei, you can take her to your carriage and you can wait on the mistress here."
After a while, everything became quiet over there, and Liu Qingmei sat quietly in the corner, carrying her things.
This time, Deng Yuanhang not only returned home himself, but also became the manager of this escort mission.
I hurriedly seated them and without even having time to greet them, I was busy waiting for the next customer.
It was also a coincidence that Gu Wenheng's carriage followed behind Zhou Ping this time.
One in front and one behind, the difference between the two carriages is obvious.
"Wenheng, these are all yours..." Zhou Ping looked at the housekeeper and servants surrounding Gu Wenheng with a complicated expression. A few months ago, everyone came to this city alone. How did they build such a big business in the blink of an eye?
Gu Wenheng nodded generously, "Brother Zhou, let me introduce you. This is my housekeeper Jiang Zhongfu. I don't know where the gentleman's car is. Should we go over and say hello first?"
Zhou Ping said, "That's as it should be. It's just that Deng Yuanhang ran too fast just now. Before I could even ask him, I couldn't even see his shadow."
Gu Wenheng turned to Hong Tianbao and said, "You are a fast kid. Take some people to this area to find out where Mr. Wang is."
Hong Tianbao nodded, pointed two servants, and went to look in different directions.
"Wenheng really knows how to live. By the way, where is your sister-in-law? Didn't she go back with you this time?"
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows. "She didn't get enough rest these past few days because she was going back today. I asked her to rest a little longer in the carriage. What do you think, Senior Brother Zhou?"
"Hey, isn't it my wife? She has been here for so long, but she can't even find a sister to talk to. I thought that since our two carriages are so close, we can give them more company to talk to." Zhou Ping looked at Gu Wenheng's carriage, "In fact, if they can chat together, we can also discuss the article together."
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "That's great, but unfortunately, my wife feels dizzy when riding in this carriage, and I'm afraid I will lose my manners in front of my sister-in-law.
When I go back, I will definitely find an opportunity to discuss the article with Senior Brother Zhou."
Zhou Ping looked regretful, "That's such a pity. There's a doctor accompanying us. Why don't we go and ask if there's any way to relieve the pain?"
When they came over, the two carriages were some distance apart, and Zhou Ping didn't know whether what Gu Wenheng said was true or false.
But when the carriage stopped before, I saw that his wife was still alive and kicking. Could she be lying to me?
However, the other party had made his words so clear that no matter how dissatisfied Zhou Ping was, he did not show it on his face.
"Bring some sour plums to see if you can suppress it. I haven't congratulated Brother Zhou yet. He's going to be a father." It was hard for Gu Wenheng not to notice. Mrs. Zhou Liu walked back and forth in front of him twice, holding her belly.
Zhou Ping smiled proudly, "Wen Heng also needs to work harder, so that our child will have a companion in the future."
Gu Wenheng smiled and nodded, and began to look around the team, "Tianbao is back."
"Have you found it?" Zhou Ping asked first.
Hong Tianbao glanced at Gu Wenheng, and waited until he nodded slightly before answering Zhou Ping, "I found it. It's three or four carriages ahead. But I just heard from the escort agency that the convoy is about to set off."
Gu Wenheng said with regret, "It seems that I have to wait until the break before I can go over to greet you, sir.
Senior Brother Zhou, it's still a bit cold this early in the morning. Take my sister-in-law to the carriage to rest for a while so she doesn't catch a cold."
Zhou Ping touched his arm and found it was indeed a little cold. He said a few more words and then turned around and helped Zhou Liushi back to his carriage.
"How is it going? Is the Jin girl pregnant too? Why haven't I seen her show up?"
Jin Qianqian, who was being missed, was now lying steadily on a thick quilt, dreaming sweet dreams.
Zhou Ping lifted the curtain and looked outside. "What are you talking about? You have to call your sister-in-law. I just asked Wen Heng and he said that he didn't get enough rest in the past few days and is resting in the car. Before you leave, take out all the quilts and put them under the car to avoid disturbing the child."
Then he lowered his voice again, "You better be careful with your words. If you say something inappropriate again in these carriages, it will be very difficult for me to face Wen Heng in the future."
