Solitary pet

Chapter 4

After running a long distance, He Sheng was relieved, and confessed to Cuiyu: "In the future, if you meet such a strange man, don't pay attention to it. Let's just pretend that what happened today didn't happen, and others don't know about it, so I can save a lot of talking."

Fortunately, she was in another town, so no one knew her. Otherwise, if she was touched by a strange man, the spittle of gossip would drown her.She is a widow, and it is her duty to keep her duty.

Cuiyu nodded, He Sheng was nominally the cousin girl of the Wei family, but in fact she was the second grandma of the Wei family.Although others don't know, as a maid, she must always remember to avoid causing trouble for the second lady.

He Sheng was a little tired from running, looking back at Cuiyu gasping for breath, she looked more tired than her.He slowed down and stretched out his hand, saying that he wanted Cuiyu to help him, but he was holding Cuiyu.

When they arrived at the pier, the two servants had been waiting for a long time, anxious, and when they saw He Sheng's figure, they ran over immediately.

"Second lady, something happened to Uncle Liu!"

He Sheng frowned: "What's wrong?"

The two of them told the whole story about the future, the three of them went to drink just now, and there was a gambling stall in the night market next to it, Uncle Liu was so good at this, and within just half a stick of incense, he lost everything.Liu Bolai refused to give up, and got into a fight with someone, who happened to be spotted by a patrolling police officer, who took him to prison.

"What can we do? We can't afford to delay our trip. If Mrs. Wei finds out, we won't be able to eat it all! You two don't care about it. It's good now, and it's late at night when you don't know the place well. , where are we going to find the boatman!"

Cuiyu stomped her feet anxiously, the two servants were reprimanded by her, they were annoyed and anxious, they muttered a few words, but couldn't think of a solution, so they had to look at Hesheng.

He Sheng thought for a while, trying to recall the situation when Father Yao encountered this kind of thing when he shipped the goods.After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "If I hadn't insisted on getting off the ship, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. On Uncle Liu's side, what he committed was not a serious crime, and the official will not be too embarrassing. Keep someone here and take two taels of silver to clear the way. Unblock it, and it will be released after about two or three days of detention. The journey to Shenghu Lake cannot be delayed, and we will find another boatman tonight."

The three servants were startled, they didn't expect that the seemingly soft Second Lady, who came from a small family, actually had an idea.Cuiyu was the first to react, she took out two taels of silver from her purse, stuffed it into the hands of a servant, and told him to finish the matter.

Standing at the pier, the wind blowing head-on was mixed with the fishy smell of the river, Cuiyu adjusted the beanie and put it on for Hesheng, and asked softly, "Second lady, where can we find the boatman?"

He Sheng shook his head, she didn't know either.What I said just now was just to appease everyone's mood, so as not to mess up the situation.She had no choice but to find a boatman.

Vaguely seeing the shadow of a boat moving ahead, He Sheng leaned forward, praying in his heart that there would be a free boatman in the boat, and their problem would be solved.

Before I came to the front to take a closer look, there was a sound of horseshoes on the other side of the fork in the pier. In the dark night, someone came on horseback.

Pei Liang had already been waiting on the shore, when he saw Shen Hao's figure when he turned around, he hurriedly stepped forward to serve him.Their prince doesn't like to take a boat, and the problem of seasickness is as deep-rooted as his problem of "sick woman".This time I was rushing to Shenghu to do business, so I had to go by water.

This trip in modest clothing should not be extravagant. What Pei Liang prepared was an ordinary boat, and the inside of the boat was carefully tidied up. Although it couldn't compare with the scale of the nobles' outings, the sparrow was small and well-equipped, and it was still passable.

Pei Liang followed behind Shen Hao, and asked symbolically: "Master, you can wait at the Shenghu Lake. Horseback riding will only be delayed for three or four days. If you travel fast, it will only be delayed for a day or two." There is no need to take a boat.

The hidden meaning couldn't be more obvious. Pei Liangyuan had good intentions for his sake. As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him put his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice, "Since I have an appointment with someone, I must go there on time. It's just a boat ride. Can't die."

Pei Liang shut up and stopped trying to persuade him.

When the group reached the shore, Shen Hao suddenly stopped, looking at the delicate white figure standing in front of him, rubbing his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Pei Liang stepped forward: "Those three people just stood there, it seems that their boatman has an accident and they are in a hurry to hire a boatman."

The figure looked familiar, like the girl I met on the street just now.Shen Hao was not sure, so he continued to walk forward without avoiding it.

Pei Liang wanted to remind her that the lord would always take a detour when he saw a woman in the past, why is it unusual today, he walked sideways beside the woman.

When they got closer, Shen Hao subconsciously turned his head and glanced. The woman under the veil lowered her head. Behind her, the river was glistening, and the hazy moonlight was like broken jade, falling among the green water plants.

It's her.

Shen Hao withdrew his gaze, continued to move forward without squinting.

He Sheng felt that someone was looking at her, and when he raised his head, he was already far away.He muttered in his heart, that person just now was really strange, the path was obviously not narrow, yet he chose to walk next to people.

She couldn't remember people's faces, and could only recognize people she knew at a glance.On the street just now, she didn't look at Shen Hao's face, she didn't recognize him at all.
