The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

From Beijing to Huzhou Prefecture, take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Take a horse-drawn carriage from Chaoyang Gate and walk forty miles overland to the dock in Tongxian County. After boarding the boat, you can go south along the river and reach Huzhou Prefecture directly.

Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao were traveling on a merchant ship, carrying goods and guests. There were only six people in their group, including Gu Jingxi and his wife, his two entourages, Zhou Yun and Yu Chuan, and Meng Jinyao's maids, Qing Qiu and Chan'er.

The group of them requested three guest rooms, one for the two attendants, one for the two maids, and one for the couple.

Although they wanted to go to the upper room, the room in the upper room was not very big. It did have a table, chairs, and a dressing table, but the place was small. The table and dressing table were much smaller than those used at home. A few steps behind the table was the bed, which was also small. It's not big, so it's okay for two people to sleep in. Even if you turn around, you'll bump into each other.

Meng Jinyao was stunned when she opened the door and saw the environment in the room. She didn't expect that the guest room in the superior room was so small. The merchant ship they were traveling on was obviously quite big.

Qingqiu was also stunned. This room was smaller than the room one of her maids lived in, but Chan'er didn't show any expression. Chan'er had experience of going out on a boat and had stayed in worse rooms than this one.

Soon, Meng Jinyao accepted the reality. Only those who have money can afford to live in such a guest room while away from home. Other people who are poorer than them will live in a worse environment by boat, and they may not even have independent rooms. She stepped into the room and looked around, then smiled and said, "The room is a bit small, but the advantage is that even though it is small, it has all the necessary features and there is a window, so it won't feel stuffy."

Qingqiu came in and put down the luggage of Meng Jinyao and his wife.

Gu Jingxi said: "You don't need to wait here. You go to your room first and put your bags away."

Several people left the cabin in response. Their three rooms were all next to each other. Chan'er, Zhou Yun, and Yu Chuan all knew martial arts, and their martial arts were good, so if they left the cabin, one of the three of them would stay. Watch out, after all, they are not the only passengers on the ship.

After they left, Meng Jinyao asked curiously: "Husband, don't you want to investigate the case? You just bring two followers, is that enough?"

Gu Jingxi pulled her to sit down and said warmly: "With more people, the target is bigger. I usually rely on them as spies to investigate cases. If there is really a need, Chan'er can also come in handy."

Meng Jinyao was stunned and wondered: "Before, I was in the capital, and now I am traveling far away. Doesn't the script say that when a high official goes out, there are many experts accompanying him to protect him?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi couldn't help but laugh: "Who wrote the script? It's just nonsense. It writes some unrealistic things. It's not a royal trip, so how can it be so grand? Not only me, but also other officials who go on errands in other places don't He will bring many martial arts masters with him, as well as a few guards who are good at boxing and kicking, and accompanying servants."

Meng Jinyao hesitated and said, "Then it's probably because they don't have any capable people under their command? Why don't you use the many people under your husband's command?"

Gu Jingxi was slightly startled. He didn't expect Ayao to think that he had many martial arts masters under his command. He usually didn't have many masters around him. He had agents to apprehend the criminals, but he didn't need his own people. What on earth gave Ayao such power? illusion?

Seeing that he was silent, Meng Jinyao asked again: "Husband, why are you looking at me like this?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and said, "Your husband only has so many people under his command. Don't read the script. The script is misleading."

Seeing that his young wife still had questions, he explained: "Your husband is just a civil servant. He doesn't need to fight and kill, nor does he want to rebel. There is no need to train so many martial arts masters. There are still servants who know martial arts at home, but They are all nursing homes. It is actually not easy to train people with strong martial arts skills and loyalty like Chan'er and others. I have only trained six of them in the past few years. Except for the three you see now, one of them is seriously injured. I will not be able to use force in the future. After I get married and have children, I will work as a steward in a village under my name. The other two left early for Huzhou Prefecture."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao nodded in understanding, and then asked: "What if we are robbed by bandits or water bandits while traveling far away? An Ning's mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen's natal family is in business. I heard An Ning talk about caravans Every time you travel, you should bring a guard with you to avoid being killed by robbers. They will rob merchants' goods, and they should also rob when they encounter well-dressed people. Aren't we a little short of people?"

Gu Jingxi explained unhurriedly: "Ayao's worry is not unreasonable. We have Zhou Yun and the others, which are enough. Zhou Yun alone can support dozens of guards. Even Chan'er, even if she is not as good as Zhou Yun, can It won’t be much different, and this merchant ship actually has merchants’ guards, and the people who were seen moving the cargo when boarding the ship are all good at fists and kicks.”

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this. So, although they only brought three people who knew martial arts with them, they were masters. It was equivalent to bringing hundreds of guards who knew martial arts?

Gu Jingxi continued: "In fact, in the peaceful and prosperous times, they did not dare to rob the imperial officials on official roads. They only dared to rob in the troubled times, or in extremely vicious places. In the prosperous times, mountain bandits and water bandits only needed a moment. If they are rampant, the imperial court will definitely send people to suppress the bandits, so the official road is relatively safe and you don't have to worry about encountering these."

After saying that, Gu Jingxi looked down at her and said warmly: "The Imperial City is the safest place. There is no place outside the Imperial City, but in the prosperous times, the danger will be much lower. But you, a little girl trapped in the backyard, don't know The situation outside is also normal. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will travel more and learn more about it."

Meng Jinyao smiled: "Okay."

At this time, the ship had set sail and was traveling on the canal at a constant speed and smoothly.

Gu Jingxi had prepared medicine for seasickness when he came, but no one in their group was prone to seasickness, and they felt fine at the moment.

At night, Meng Jinyao was not used to this bed. It was hard and small. It was fine for her to sleep alone. But sleeping with two people seemed too narrow and she couldn't stretch out. She could roll into Gu Jingxi's arms when she turned around. There was also the sound of water outside, and she didn't feel sleepy and couldn't fall asleep.

Gu Jingxi also knew that she was not used to it, so she couldn't sleep, so he asked: "Ayao, I haven't finished telling the story last night, should I continue to tell you?"

Meng Jinyao nodded: "Then husband, continue talking."

Gu Jingxi's voice sounded. It was very nice, but the story was really boring. She felt like listening to a monk chanting sutras. It didn't take long before she yawned again and again and fell asleep quickly.

The next morning.

Meng Jinyao woke up. Although she didn't sleep well last night, she was in a state of excitement because she was traveling far away for the first time. The freshness was still there, so she was in good spirits now.

After having a very ordinary breakfast, she took Gu Jingxi to the deck outside for some fresh air.

The couple's outstanding appearance attracted the attention of others. Others thought that their clothes were either rich or expensive, and basically no one dared to come forward and disturb them.

However, there are exceptions, and there is an exception in front of me.
