The boat traveled all the way north. Cheng Chun grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and had never left this place. When sitting on the boat, he was extremely curious about everything.
Compared to her liveliness, Hongdou was not doing so well. She started to get seasick from the moment she boarded the ship. She lay in bed day after day unable to move at all. If she moved even a little bit, she would vomit all over the place!
Chengchun was worried that Hong Dou's body would be overwhelmed if things continued like this, so he personally cooked some refreshing and appetizing porridge or soup for Hong Dou in the rickety kitchen every day.
Su Xubai and Xie Chengyin can eat these every day because of red beans.
The days on the ship were difficult, and the only problem was that they couldn't eat well or sleep well. It was not unusual for many people to lose five or six pounds after taking a ship. But now, because they are simmering soup every day in the spring, they are not only I am not thin, but my complexion is rosy.
When we got off the ship, Hongdou, who had been seasick all the time, looked pretty good. At first glance, he didn't look like he had been seasick for a month.
Before Su Xubai got off the boat, he saw the group of people standing not far away, and those people obviously saw him, waving their hands and shouting: "Young Master, Young Master..."
Su Xubai frowned slightly, looked back at Cheng Chun beside him, held her hand, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the crowd.
Cheng Chun noticed that Su Xubai's palms were slightly sweaty, so he asked strangely: "What's wrong with Fifth Master?"
"When you meet someone later, don't speak. No matter what they ask you, don't say anything. Do you understand?" Su Xubai's brows were furrowed, obviously very worried.
"Hongdou taught me how to salute, it's okay!" Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai and gently shook Su Xubai's hand, "I try not to be rude!"
Su Xubai looked back at Cheng Chun, raised his hand and pinched her face: "Fool, it's okay, I'm here!"
Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai, his eyebrows were curved and his eyes were full of smiles.
Su Xubai didn't speak, but held Cheng Chun's hand tightly and walked forward slowly.
There were many people on the pier, and there were also many noble people coming to pick them up. They were standing in rows after rows. Su Xubai walked up to the people with Cheng Chun, still frowning: "I told you not to come. Did you pick it up?"
"Madam really misses the young master so much. She knew that the boat the young master was taking arrived at the dock today and she originally wanted to pick him up. She tried hard to persuade him, but she still missed him very much, so she asked us to pick him up!" One of the nuns said Come forward and say.
Su Xubai looked at the nanny and still had a bad expression: "There's no need for so many people to come."
"Young Master is joking!" Mammy smiled brightly, and then turned her gaze to Cheng Chun, "This is the Young Master's little girl, she is born with a finely crafted body, beautiful and tight, very Jiangnan. The smell of beauty!”
Cheng Chun was about to salute when Su Xubai pulled him behind him: "My little lady, it's not your turn to judge!"
Mammy was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a smile: "Yes, I said the wrong thing, but if you want to teach me a lesson, you should go back to your house first and see your wife!"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Cheng Chun really saw the essence in this nanny. Although he didn't know why, it was obvious that Su Xubai's dislike of her was shown on his face. She seems to be completely unable to see this so-called dislike, and can still greet people with a smile and tell him things that he doesn't like to hear.
Cheng Chun was quite emotional as he watched from the side. After all, if it were her, she knew that others didn't like what she said, even if it made perfect sense, she wouldn't be able to say it.
Compared with the carriage that Cheng Chun sat in when he was in Jiangnan, it was obvious that the carriage of the Marquis Mansion was more magnificent. Cheng Chun, who was sitting in the carriage, was not surprised at all, but rather felt a little uneasy.
She turned around in confusion and looked at Su Xubai: "Fifth Master, madam, will you hate me very much?"
Su Xubai paused, then held Cheng Chun's hand: "I don't know, but I like you very much. My mother is not easy to get along with. No matter what she says to you, don't take it to heart."
Cheng Chun, who was still nervous at first, was so coaxed by Su Xubai that his face turned red: "Fifth Master, let's not say these things outside now. It will be embarrassing for others to hear!"
Su Xubai smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and there was even a hint of alienation.
The distance from the pier to the Hou Mansion was a bit long. The carriage swayed forward. Chengchun, who had been nervous all morning, was inevitably a little sleepy. It happened to be a sultry afternoon. Soon, Chengchun fell asleep in Su Xubai's arms.
.
Su Xubai lowered his head to look at Cheng Chun, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness. The carriage and horse moved forward slowly. He looked at Cheng Chun in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead gently: "You
Just be patient, I will take you back to Jiangnan after a while, and live our little life together!"
Su Xubai's voice was so soft that Cheng Chun, who was asleep, didn't hear it at all.
The carriage drove away for almost an hour, and when they arrived at the Hou Mansion, Su Xubai woke up Cheng Chun and led her out of the carriage.
Cheng Chun was still a little confused, so he followed Su Xubai and walked forward slowly. When he reached the backyard, he realized that Mrs. Su had been waiting there early.
"Kneel down!"
As soon as Cheng Chun's front foot crossed the threshold, she was hit by a flying tea cup. She was so frightened that her foot staggered. If Su Xubai hadn't pulled her up, she would have fallen to the ground by now.
on the ground.
"Mother!" Su Xubai looked up at the woman sitting upright in front of him, his face full of displeasure, "What are you doing? What should I do if such hot tea burns someone!"
"You've burned someone. Who have you burned? You can't burn this little vixen who came out of nowhere!" Mrs. Su stood up angrily. She walked to Cheng Chun, took her hand and pulled her away.
He pulled Su Xubai out from behind and said, "I want to see what kind of little vixen he is. He actually obsessed my son with all kinds of things and even raised an outhouse outside!"
Listening to the words of a little vixen, Cheng Chun felt ashamed and flustered. He couldn't say anything for a long time, but his eyes were red from holding back, just looking at Mrs. Su in front of him who was holding on to him and refused to let go.
When Su Xubai turned around, he saw that Cheng Chun's eyes were red. He wanted to reach out and pull Cheng Chun back, but he saw his mother gnashing her teeth. He knew his mother's temperament very well. At this time, he was more inclined to help her.
