A few of Song Wangyue got on board and followed Wang Wu around.
There were two dozen rooms on the boat, which were very spacious and cleaned up.
Song Wangyue felt satisfied, “Has the boss been to Jiangnan?”
At first, Wang Wu thought that Mr. Liu was in charge, but after he got on the boat, this little girl walked in front and kept asking questions, but Mr. Liu followed behind, not saying a word. He had a plan in mind, and when he heard Song Wan Yue ask, he hurriedly replied, “I went there three years ago.”
There were many people who came to rent the boat, but most of them used it for three or four days, and very few of them used it for more than three or four days, plus his boat was large and the rental fee was high, so people could not use it.
“Which way is it going?”
Wang Wu was delighted to hear that she did not hesitate and said, “It was the Lings Yang side, which is safer compared to Qingyang, but it will be an extra two days’ journey.”
There are two ways to go from the capital to Jiangnan, one is through Lings Yang and one is through Qin Yang, which is closer, but it’s a bit unsettled, so the boats don’t usually go that way.
“I want to go that way to Qingyang.”
When they heard her words, Wang Wu’s face changed, earning money was important, but their lives were more important.
“Miss, it’s better to go to Lings Yang, although it’s a few days longer, but it’s safe, Qingyang is too dangerous, if you meet water bandits, you’ll be in trouble.”
“The old people at home are old, they can’t stand being on a boat all the time, it’s better to arrive a day earlier, you don’t have to worry about safety, I have guards at home, one is worth ten.”
When she said this, Wang Wu was still uneasy, he had twenty helmsmen on this boat, he had to think of those helmsmen even if he didn’t think of himself, “This ……”
“We don’t have that many people, a smaller boat would be fine, we just want to make the family comfortable, that’s why we rented your boat, if you don’t want to, we’ll go look at something else.”
“Don’t, don’t ……”
Wang Wu hurriedly blocked, so easy to have such a big deal, he how can not miss, gritted his teeth, “want to go Qingyang also can, just this price on the higher.”
“The price is fine. ”
This is what Wang Wu loves to hear. He invited them to the cabin, poured tea and set out snacks, and after some bargaining, the price was set.
He and Jin took care of a lot of shops and bargained with people no matter what they bought or shipped. He thought he was an old slicker, but he didn’t expect Miss Sun to be even better than him, he was completely shocked.
Song Wan Yue naturally noticed his gaze and asked with a smile, “Is there something on my face?”
Boss Liu was now in awe, “Miss Sun, if you are free, can you teach me your price killing skills?”
“Sure, I’ll teach you when I come back from Jiangnan.”
……
In the northern city, inside an ordinary mansion, Wu Jin dropped a tealight, “What kind of broken tea is this, how dare you bring it to me to drink!”
The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees.
The last time Song Wan Yue revealed that he was behind the theft of the pastry recipe, the family could no longer stay in the West City, so he had to sell his house there and come to the North City to buy a new one.
Wu Jin put a foot on the maid, “Get lost!”
The maid was kicked backwards and the back of her head hit the ground hard, but she did not dare to cry out in pain and crawled away.
Wu Jin was not yet relieved and overturned the table.
The butler hurried into the courtyard, heard the sound of the table falling to the ground and paused for a moment, waved away the maids guarding the door, lifted the curtain and entered, not even looking at the mess on the ground, with a vague excitement in his voice, “Young master, someone is looking for you.”
“No!”
When he had just been robbed of his title, those things that he used to call friends with had not yet fallen on him, and then when Concubine Shu was sent to the cold palace, they all avoided him as far as they could.
He didn’t see those things!
The butler came forward and whispered in his ear.
Wu Jin jerked his head up and looked at him incredulously.
The butler nodded.
Wu Jin pranced to his feet and strode out the door, the butler hurrying to follow.
Outside the main gate, an ordinary carriage was parked, and the driver stood by the horse holding the reins.
Wu Jin almost rushed out from the mansion and reached the carriage in the blink of an eye, lifting the curtain as he saw the familiar person inside, his lips twitching with excitement, “You, you, you ……”
The person inside the carriage was clearly the Third Prince, much thinner than half a year ago, but the aura around him had become more and more gentle.
“Uncle.”
This call almost didn’t bring tears to Wu Jin’s eyes. At first, when Concubine Shu returned to her mother’s house and said those words to him, he didn’t resist and was obediently taken away from his title, he knew that with the Third Prince around, the Wu family still had a chance to rise again, but later, when Concubine Shu was sent to the cold palace, he sent a letter to the Third Prince, but never received a reply, his heart went cold, and now the Third Prince was right in front of him. The decadence he had felt all these days, and his fears were instantly gone.
“Let’s talk about what we have to say inside the palace.”
The words were said, but the Third Prince sat down and did not come down. Wu Jin understood and directly told the coachman to drive the carriage in through the corner door, while he returned, dismissed all the subordinates and waited at the courtyard entrance.
The carriage came to a halt at the entrance of the courtyard, and Wu Jin was eager to lift the curtain and welcome the Third Prince down, leading him inside and instructing the butler to keep watch at the door himself.
Inside the house, the Third Prince gave Wu a big salute, “Uncle.”
Wu Jin hurriedly held him up and looked him over carefully to make sure he was alright and put his mind at ease, “Why have you suddenly returned?”
“I came back to see my mother consort.”
Wu Jin opened his mouth, with their current situation, how easy would it be to see Consort Shu, not to mention that Consort Shu had been sent to the cold palace again.
“I really shouldn’t have listened to your mother consort in the first place, at least I would have kept my title, and I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation now.”
He had a hunch that the emperor was using them and did not want the third prince to succeed the throne at all.
“Uncle misunderstood Father, he was trying to protect us.”
“Protection?”
Wu Jin snorted, “If it was really protection, he wouldn’t have sent your mother consort to the cold palace.”
“Mother Consort is fine in the cold palace.”
“How can it be good, it’s a cold palace! A place where you are not treated like a human being!”
Wu Jin got excited, he didn’t know what the Third Prince had gone through in the past six months, his gut feeling was that he was a bit stupid, how could people be well in the Cold Palace?
