Chapter 115 Gap
This time I went to Jiangsu.

Last year, the Yellow River in Jiangsu surged and its embankments burst, causing local victims to be displaced. Although this disaster was not as severe as in the 34th year of Kangxi, the importance of Yellow River management is related to the smooth water transportation of the Qing Dynasty, the supply of the treasury of the capital, and the wealth and livelihood of the people.

The fourth elder brother followed Zhijun Wang this time, and returned to the capital after visiting the river embankment in advance.

Here in Jiangsu, especially Xuzhou, Huai'an, and Yangzhou, is the place where water transportation must pass. However, because it crosses the Yellow River, a large amount of silt pools here, and the embankment collapses, causing serious damage to the local river and backflow of the river.

The speed of walking all the way is not slow. At dusk, I stayed at the village that was prepared in advance.

The king of Zhijun and the fourth prince came, and the officials had already greeted them here.

The carriage was bumpy and bumpy all the way, and Gu Yaoyao felt that her waist was about to fall apart.

After finally being able to rest, she didn't want to stay in the carriage any longer, so she immediately supported Delan's hand and got out.

Dundun was hugged by Erman, and the puppy was full of energy—at this time, he was staring at the sunset like the yolk of an oily duck egg in the distance, and barked a few times, meaning he wanted to run around on the ground a few times.

Gu Yaoyao said: "Come on, let it run away."

Erman agreed, and gently put Dundun down.

Dundun circled around Gu Yaoyao's feet a few times, but after all, he was timid and didn't dare to run far away.

Watching the servants start to unload their luggage on the mule cart behind, Gu Yaoyao raised her hand and yawned a little.

In the carriage behind, Geng supported the maidservant's hand and also got down.

She looked obviously a lot more restrained, and she didn't dare to move when standing in front of the carriage. When she saw Gu Yaoyao helplessly, she smiled and walked over cautiously to say hello to Gu Yaoyao: "It's a long ride today. Alright, did Sister Gu sway in the car?"

Gu Yaoyao smiled at her: "It's okay, I can't sleep either—how about you?"

Geng Shi felt a little sad in her heart - Gu Shi couldn't sleep, it was because she really didn't want to sleep.

But she herself wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep.

Who made her carriage so much simpler than others.

Here we are exchanging greetings, the little eunuchs around us are busy, and there is a little Lazi from the front of the line, carrying a food box, running over to report with a smile on his face, saying, please wait a moment, a soft sedan chair will come soon .

Send Gege to Zhuangzi to rest.

Accommodation has been arranged.

Seeing that the pastry was left behind, neither of them ate it——Gu Yaoyao was fed by Dailan all the way; worn on the body.

She didn't dare to eat it, for fear of staining her clothes.

Lian Na, the maidservant next to Geng's, secretly looked at Gu Yaoyao up and down—they were all pretty, but looking at the clothes all over her body, one could actually tell that there was an obvious gap.

It's good to be favored—otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people trying to stand out in front of the master.

Gu Gege was already well-groomed, and Erman and Dailan were standing behind him, especially Erman—he was different from the other maids in the backyard.

She came out of the front yard. She was tall and calm, her manner of speaking was graceful, and she was very measured in advancing and retreating. She was no less than the maidservants around Fujin.

In this way, Gu Gege's posture was raised even more.

Even Lian Na could see these gaps, and Geng Shi was not blind, so naturally he felt even more uncomfortable.

Although her heart was sour, she still had hope—after all, Brother Si brought two women from the backyard with him this trip.

No matter how favored Gu Shi is, she, Geng Shi, is still alive.

Now that they were all taken on the road, fourth master wouldn't let him touch him for a few months, right?

The hope here is much greater than the hope in the mansion.

Not long after, soft sedan chairs came—two small sedan chairs, followed by a few old women, and Xiao Lazi came to lead them, and sent the two princesses directly into the Zhuangzi.

The bluestone field is wide and flat. Turn left and turn right, and you will see a rockery with whitewashed walls, overlapping flowers and shadows, but they are exquisite. When they arrived at the small courtyard where they lived, Gu Yaoyao just got off the sedan chair and saw the old ladies and maids on the village. They all knelt on the ground, waiting to welcome the nobles.

Gu Yaoyao was helped out of the sedan chair, and Xiao Lazi rushed forward to open the door curtain with her own hands.

Some people recognized him as Su Peisheng's servant, and seeing his flattery, they didn't dare to underestimate the nobleman who came down from the sedan chair.

Even after Gu Yaoyao had entered the house for a long time, there were rough old ladies in the yard who didn't know how to behave. They kept poking their heads in while tugging at each other's sleeves, arguing whether this outstanding beauty was Ge Ge or Side Fujin.

Gu Yaoyao and Geng Shi lived in the same yard. In comparison, Geng Shi's house was much worse—poor lighting and ventilation.

The decoration looks exquisite, but it's just superficial, and the inside is very perfunctory.

Lian Na moved a chair away, and just as she wanted Grid to sit down, she discovered that there was still moss growing on the corner of the wall behind the chair.

"Gege, why don't you... why don't you tell me about it, let's change to another room..."

Lian Na said with a bitter face: "The humidity is too heavy, how can Ge Ge bear it?"

Geng didn't dare to touch the bed curtains, so he asked Lian Na to spread all the sheets and bedding she brought from the house before she dared to sit down, sighed, and said, "It's fine for one night, anyway, I still need it tomorrow morning." Let's go, don't worry about it."

……

In Gu Yaoyao's room, Dailan and Erman had just arranged everything when they heard another movement outside.

Little Lazi actually ran over again.

He was busy today without stopping, and his whole body was spinning like a spinning top - this is the king of Zhijun and the fourth elder brother who were eating in front of him, and they went to Gu Gege to reward the food.

"What else is there for Gege? Just tell me—the servant will send it to Gege again!" Xiao Lazi smiled again.

……

Geng's was also rewarded with food.

Although it's just because of Gu Gege's favor, no matter what, it's better for the fourth master to have a reward than to have no reward.

This is the first time she has such a sense of presence in front of the fourth elder brother!

After thanking him, Geng was very excited for a while, and when the maid waited and put the dishes on the table, she picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

The dishes delivered were not too hot, and the dishes were not as good as those in Fuli, both in appearance and taste.

But fortunately, there are a lot of seasonal vegetables that are suitable for the occasion, and it is also a wild taste.

While eating, there was a sudden commotion in the adjacent yard.

It sounds like bickering.

In Gu Yaoyao's room, she was playing with Dundun, and she heard it too.

At first, I thought the slaves were arguing, but after hearing a few words, Gu Yaoyao felt that something was wrong——Zhuangzi lived with King Zhijun and Lord Belle, no matter how bold the slaves were, it was impossible for them to quarrel openly like this.

Gu Yaoyao asked people to go out and have a look.
