Chapter 436
Although Li Meier and the women were anxious, they could only wait patiently. About half an hour later, Li Yan and Jiang Shanqing came back, but they both had strange expressions on their faces.

"Is it going to work?" Seeing the expressions on the two of them, Mrs. Li became more and more anxious, and immediately asked anxiously.

"Success...it is done." Li Yan replied.

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the women fell back into their stomachs, Jiang Shi still complained to her husband, "Since it is done, why do you show such an expression, I thought he didn't agree."

Li Yan smiled wryly and asked, "Mother, Yingying, do you know who the owner of that boat is?"

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other, obviously they couldn't guess.But Li Meier's heart moved, she frowned and said: "Father, if you ask me this way, we must all know each other. Are you from Yin County like you?"

Li Yan nodded, and revealed the answer, "It's the young cousin of the Lu family, Mr. Sun, who came from the capital. They didn't rent that boat. It was the boat of the Sun family. They came here to pick up Mr. Sun back to Beijing. "

Both Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang were surprised when they heard the words, Mrs. Li even clicked her tongue and said, "I heard that the Sun family is better than the Lu family, and it is also one of the most wealthy families in the capital. Are they really willing to take us to the capital?"

Li Yan nodded and said with a wry smile: "He agreed readily, but I was a little worried. After all, we are such a wealthy family. If we offend him in any way, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? It's a big deal that we don't come out for half a month. Since they agree to take us along, they won't make things difficult for us." Mrs. Li said open-mindedly, without worry.

"Grandmother is right. Our family has always been law-abiding. Don't worry about how you can offend them." Li Meier also echoed.Although she felt that this incident was too much of a coincidence, they had no other choice now.

"Okay then, let's quickly pack up and go to Sun's boat. They will set sail at noon." Li Yan made up his mind after being told by his wife and daughter, and urged everyone to pack up.

Although the Li family had a lot of boxes and cages, there were also a lot of people, and within an hour, all the things were loaded onto the Sun family's boat. The Sun family came to receive them was an old servant who was over fifty years old, and he was very polite when he spoke. Without the arrogance of a wealthy family.This reassured the Li family a lot.

Because the Sun family's ship was very big, there were still many cabins left, so they specially arranged a few neighbors for the Li family. Mrs. Li and Li Meier lived in the same cabin, Li Yan and the Jiang family lived in the same cabin with their three children, and Jiang Shanqing lived in the same cabin. I lived in the same cabin with Jiang Youzhi Kang Geer, and the rest of the servants and bodyguards were divided into men and women and assigned to the big cabin, which was not too crowded.

As soon as everyone settled down, a guest was ushered in, which surprised everyone in the Li family.

"A Zheng? Why are you here?" Seeing He Zheng, Li Yan immediately got up and asked in surprise.

Seeing the Li family members, He Zheng also had a look of joy on his face, and immediately explained: "Brother Sun invited me to go on the road together a few days ago. He expressed his kindness, but I was really embarrassed to refuse, so I agreed. Uncle Li, you went to Beijing together, and now we are together again."

Li Yan was also very happy, so he pulled He Zheng to talk.

Jiang Shanqing was thoughtful at the side, and when he saw Li Meier's head protruding from the door, he went out quietly.

"Brother Shanqing, don't you think this incident is too coincidental?" Li Meier asked Jiang Shanqing in a low voice as she pulled Jiang Shanqing to a corner.

Jiang Shanqing nodded, and said in a low voice: "I also think it's strange. I just saw He Zheng, and I feel this more. I always feel that Sun Zhongyuan is waiting for us."

"Then what do you think he's planning? We've all come out of Zhangshui Town, and we won't see Aunt Zhen's grandmother for a while." Li Meier has never had a good impression of Sun Zhongyuan. As if calculating something.

Jiang Shanqing glanced at Li Meier, and sighed in his heart: I'm just trying to figure you out.But he would not say it out of his mouth, for fear of scaring the little girl.From the last time when Sun Zhongyuan tried to introduce his sisters to him, Jiang Shanqing knew that his mind was not pure, but this guy would only do some small tricks behind his back, which is really annoying, if he has the ability to compete in a fair manner.

"Just ignore him, the journey will only take half a month at most, you should avoid him, and when we get off the boat, we will have nothing to do with each other." Jiang Shanqing told Li Meier.

Li Meier nodded obediently, "Brother Shanqing, don't worry, I know all about it."

Li Mei'er thought that Sun Zhongyuan would do something next, but he didn't. The first day on board passed smoothly, and Li Yan also restrained everyone in the family not to go on deck at will, so as not to run into Sun's family.

But on the second day, He Zheng invited everyone from the Li family to enjoy the scenery on the deck, and Li Yan couldn't refuse, and Brother Kang and Brother Jian were really exhausted, so he took them on the deck.

Li Meier didn't want to go, but Mrs. Li said that this trip was rare and she couldn't stay in the cabin all the time, so Li Meier went with her.

The big ship has now left Jiangnan Road, and it is a section of the waterway. The magnificent mountains and rivers, the customs and customs, are really eye-opening.

Although Li Mei'er has been on a boat several times, she has never seen such a scene before. She and Mrs. Li enjoyed watching it with great interest. Brother Kang and Erjian pointed at the goshawk in the sky for a while, and went to look at the cliff for a while. Monkeys that climb apes, basically, goshawks and monkeys are just a small black spot, and it's rare for the two brothers to talk about noses and eyes.

Mrs. Jiang also came out to enjoy the wind at a gentle place on the waterway. It was Jiang Shanqing and Jiang Youzhi, the uncle and nephew, who were seasick...

Jiang Shanqing has had this problem for a long time, but this is the first time for Jiang Youzhi. I don't know if it's because he didn't have a good rest last night or because he is not acclimatized.

Mrs. Li ordered to cut up ginger for the two of them to eat, and said, "Why is Youzhi getting seasick, was it okay to take a boat before?"

Li Meier laughed, "Our river is stable, and there are many rapids and dangerous shoals here. Many people will get seasick the first time they walk. After a few days, my uncle will get used to it."

Li Meier also specially brewed grapefruit tea for Jiang Shanqing and Jiang Youzhi to drink. It was sour and sweet, but it could relieve some symptoms of seasickness.

Jiang Youzhi also said, "It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery is not well appreciated."

Li Meier smiled, "There is no lack of good scenery anywhere. We are all waterways. It is just that the water is more urgent and dangerous. There is nothing to see. It is nothing more than water, mountains, eagles, monkeys, etc. Besides. , Even after reading it, if you write a few sour poems, you can't write those great poets!"
