Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 63 The Pit Depth 024 Meters into Chuzhou (3)
Mo Jiu took a look and patted his forehead, "I really want to eat supper before leaving."

Xue Fang laughed cheerfully, and seemed to be smart, "I bring my sister all night snacks, a bag of gold and silver rolls, a basket of crystal corners, ten flower-cut steamed buns...you won't be hungry."

Mo Jiu walked behind him with his hands behind his back, "Nothing to show courteousness to, rape or steal!"

Xue Fang choked, looked back at her, then bent down and cupped his hands for mercy: "Sister Mo was joking, the envoy ordered to send her to Chuzhou, as long as you don't run away, you can listen to whatever you say."

Mo Jiu glared at him: "Is he still afraid of me running away?"

It's not that she doesn't want to run now...it's that she can't.When she came out of the confinement, she became suspicious. She always felt that there was a Gu on her body. If she ran away, who would she turn to if the Gu poisoned her?After entering the Xiao family, at least there is a "Miraculous Doctor Xiao". As long as he doesn't die, she can always save her life, right?

After shouting, seeing Xue Fang's pitiful appearance, she waved her hand again, "Lead the way! What are you doing in a daze? Could it be that you are going to carry me on your back?"

She looks juicy and delicate, and looks like a 15-year-old girl. She has a pretty white face, frowns and smiles, like a newly blooming flower on a branch. She is too pretty and tender. Xue Fang quickly avoided her eyes, her neck Red, "Departure——"

Mo Jiu was 25 years old in her previous life, so a half-grown boy like Xue Fang looked like a child in her eyes, and she felt a little strange seeing him shy.

All the way in silence, boarded the paddle steamer parked at the ferry, and headed for Chuzhou against the river wind.

According to them, Chuzhou City is only a few dozen miles away from the shore.

Mo Jiu sat lazily, rarely silent.Xue Fang glanced at her several times, and said in a low voice: "Sister delayed the trip, the people from Xiao's residence have waited for a long time, and they will inevitably feel a little wronged when they see each other later. You don't need to argue, just listen."

The well-known Xiao family married a widow who has no money and no power. I'm afraid it's not just a little bit of injustice when they pick up the marriage?Mo Jiu stared at the kid, "Hehe" smiled and pretended to be stupid, didn't say much, just looked sideways at the misty water.

She was a little hesitant about the future.Whether to enter Xiao's house or not is also a dilemma.If you don't enter Xiao's house, you are afraid of Gu poison, once you enter Xiao's house, it is as deep as the sea.

But she was also curious, what kind of illness did the Xiao family have that even Xiao Liulang couldn't cure it?

When approaching the other side, it was almost dusk.

The boats on the water are very dense, and the ferry is also very busy.Mo Jiu quietly observed the different world customs, and accidentally found a different kind of ship moored on the shore not far from the ferry.These boats are not big, and the sails are not gorgeous, but they are hung in red and green. The lanterns were lit early on, and the lights reflected on the water surface, glowing with a trace of hookah-colored light, swaying on the water surface, adding a kind of Indescribable rouge.

She was a little curious: "Xue Xiaolang, what kind of boat is that, it seems different?"

Xue Fang is young, but with Xiao Qian traveling all over the world, he has more knowledge than ordinary kids.He only glanced at it, his eyes flickering and faltering, unable to speak.

The men beside him couldn't hold back their low laughter, "Xue Shitong is young, how could he know this?"

"Bah!" Xue Fang blushed, "Who says I don't know, isn't it a wild prostitute?"

Several men laughed in unison, implying that he was an innocent child. Xue Fang blushed anxiously, "Sister Mo, don't be presumptuous! Carefully make you turn around and peel your skin."

Upon hearing Xiao Qian's name, the men stopped talking.

But Mo Jiu understood what those boats were for.They are not as formal as a brothel, they are led by bustards, they have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they can play Kabuki, and they receive dignitaries. They are just some women who have a hard time. Some life money.Of course, the price must be low, and it is estimated that the receptions are all strong men traveling between the two sides of the ferry.

Although she is a woman, she is not as uncomfortable as Xue Fang. She doesn't care about it in her heart, but she has to be "shy" if she can't say it.So she pushed down the veiled cap, turned her back, and took out the pocket compass in her arms to play with.She likes this compass very much. The rust color on the top has been wiped off, and some light has appeared, making it more beautiful and lovely.

Soon, the paddle steamer slowly approached the ferry.

Above the ferry crossing was a group of teams wearing red and ribbons. They stood on high steps and were looking towards the paddle steamer. In front of the team, there was a big red wedding sedan chair adorned with gold and silver.
