Chapter 870 Trust Me More
In the first month of the year, it rarely rains in this part of the capital, and it probably won't rain until February.
But now the sky suddenly turned cloudy and gray, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Their team has not yet met up with the Fang family's caravan and needs to walk a little further. The Fang family's caravan is waiting for them on the roadside ahead.
After the meeting, they still had to travel for another half a day to reach a place suitable for overnight stay. If they were delayed by the rain, they might not be able to make it in the evening and would have to travel overnight.
"Go tell the princess that we need to speed up."
An Nian was afraid that the speed would suddenly be too fast and Fu Zhaoning would be confused, so he had to ask someone to inform her.
"yes."
An Nian brought two followers this time, one named Xiao Jiang and the other named Xiao Zheng.
Both of them looked quite smart. After hearing what An Nian said, Xiao Jiang quickly ran towards Fu Zhaoning's carriage and knocked on the wall of the carriage first.
"Princess, the weather is bad and it looks like it's going to rain. My master said we need to speed up. The carriage may be a little bumpy. Please forgive me, Princess."
Fu Zhaoning lifted the car curtain, saw Xiao Jiang, looked at the sky again, and nodded.
"I see."
Just as Xiao Jiang was about to leave, Fu Zhaoning stopped him again, "Tell your parents, I will cooperate with you, don't worry about me for everything."
"Yes." Xiao Jiang bowed and ran back.
Fu Jinchen also glanced at the sky.
"It does look like it's going to rain today. When I looked at the sky yesterday, I thought it would only be cloudy today."
"You can also observe the celestial phenomena?" Fu Zhaoning lowered the car curtain and looked at him with a little surprise.
"It's all about my own experience. Also, most of the people I meet have things I can learn from. I learned how to read the weather from an old farmer in the south of the Yangtze River, but it seems I haven't mastered it yet."
"The sky is unpredictable. What you saw yesterday may not be the same as what you saw today. The weather will change slightly if the air flow and air pressure change. Without measuring instruments, it is impossible to see accurately every time with just a pair of eyes and experience."
Hearing Fu Zhaoning say this, Fu Jinchen's heart moved and he became very interested.
"You mean, there are instruments that can predict the weather?"
Uh. Fu Zhaoning paused, "I think there should be."
In Zhaoguo's history, there was already a seismometer. Fu Zhaoning brought this up and said, "Just as a seismometer can predict earthquakes, the weather should also be predictable."
It may not be possible now.
"Yeah, that's true."
Seeing Fu Jinchen's thoughtful expression, Fu Zhaoning suddenly felt that their previous 17 or 18 years of escape was a complete waste of time and life.
If that incident hadn't happened, with Fu Jinchen's intelligence and talent, who knows what he would have achieved in the past seventeen or eighteen years.
She thought about it and asked him seriously, "Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"
Although it feels a bit reversed now, as a daughter, she is the one asking her father about his future life plans, but she is really curious about what Fu Jinchen thinks.
Fu Jinchen didn't feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he was very happy and secretly excited. This meant that Zhaoning had begun to care about him.
Even if he was in the mood to chat with him, he felt very happy.
"I've thought about it. One is to be an official. Only by being an official can I do some practical things more conveniently. However, given the current situation of Zhaoguo, it is not a good idea for me to enter the officialdom."
Since Fu Zhaoning asked, he told her seriously.
"There is another one who wants to open a private school and become a teacher."
Fu Zhaoning never thought that he also wanted to be a teacher.
"In fact, if I hadn't left, I would have taken these two paths. If I passed the palace examination, I would have become an official. If I failed, I would have opened a private school to teach and educate people."
Fu Jinchen smiled and sat more relaxed.
He looks carefree and elegant. Although he is already middle-aged, he is more handsome and attractive than many young people.
“But these are ideals.”
Fu Jinchen changed the subject and looked at Fu Zhaoning, "I'm not in a hurry to set any goals for myself, because I feel that the past two years have been at an unpredictable point for us and the entire Zhao Kingdom."
"What's the meaning?"
Fu Zhaoning sat up straight.
"The emperor will not tolerate Prince Jun."
This is the truth, but Fu Zhaoning still felt a little melancholy when Fu Jinchen said it so directly.
"Isn't it? Tell me why the emperor is so petty? In fact, Xiao Lanyuan didn't want to sit in that position, but the emperor doesn't seem to believe it."
Fu Jinchen wanted to laugh.
"Do you always speak so freely?"
No one would dare to say such things out loud, saying that the emperor is narrow-minded or that Prince Jun doesn't want to sit in that position. If others heard such words, they would lose all their courage.
But Fu Zhaoning said it, and she didn't look afraid at all. She seemed to be much less afraid of the imperial power than normal people.
"I'll pay attention." Fu Zhaoning didn't explain further.
"Even if Prince Jun has no intention, the things he has and his own excellence will make the emperor wary. The emperor's harem is also in chaos now, and looking at what he has done recently, he can be called incompetent. If this continues, his tricks against Prince Jun will be even more shameless."
"Um."
"But Prince Jun won't just sit there and wait for death, right?" Fu Jinchen had actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago. "Even if he has no intention of fighting, he still has to fight for his life, his future life and his family."
If Xiao Lanyuan really doesn't want to fight and doesn't want to try hard for the future, then Fu Jinchen's next goal may have to change.
He had to think of a way, a way out. In case something happened to Xiao Lanyuan, he would be able to get his daughter out and protect her without letting her be implicated by Xiao Lanyuan.
Although it may sound a bit cold-blooded, he is just a father, and he will never watch his daughter go to the end of her life.
His eyes were serious, so Fu Zhaoning understood what he meant and did not dare to ignore his words.
"He has."
She also said very seriously, "As long as he doesn't betray me, I will give up on him, so no matter what storms we face, we will face them together."
In other words, she would never abandon Xiao Lanyuan.
Fu Jinchen was silent for a moment, then his expression relaxed. "So, back to the question you asked me just now, I don't have anything specific to do right now. I will first try to make some money and find a suitable place to retreat."
Maybe in the end, they won't be able to stay in the capital anymore.
So what he has to do now is to keep a low profile and find a way out secretly.
"Zhaoning, try to trust me more. If you need any help, tell me and let me try." Fu Jinchen said.
