Chapter 199 Picked up Mr. Xu

However, Wu Lixin's courtship of death has not shown any bad consequences for the time being, and someone's fate has already come.

After New Year's Eve, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao stayed in Suzhou for a few more days, and did not board the boat until the third day of the first lunar month to continue their journey south.

Zheng Da and his wife have been living in their yard these days, Mrs. Guan cooks an authentic Bingzhou delicacy for Mu Jiaojiao every day, and Zheng Da helps in the yard. The couple are unwilling to be idle for a moment.So on the day of departure, Cui Pu simply invited them to go with them on board.

Zheng Da and his wife couldn't help Cui Pu's enthusiasm, coupled with Hongdou Aniang's enthusiasm to keep him, they both agreed.Both of them secretly decided in their hearts that they must serve the young couple well along the way, in order to repay their great kindness to them.

The boat had only been away for a long time, and there was a sudden commotion outside.

Immediately, Mung Dou broke in from the outside: "My lady, it's not good! A person suddenly fell from the boat ahead, and he is still struggling in the water, it looks so scary!"

Mu Jiaojiao quickly raised his head: "Did it fall from the boat ahead?"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Lixin took the initiative to ask someone to bring them a New Year's gift.After discussing with Mu Jiaojiao, Cui Pu gave them a large box of pills in return.With this box of medicine in hand, the Wu family should not need to ask them for medicine in the next time.

So early this morning, Wu Lixin led people on board again, one step ahead of them.

So now according to Mung Bean, it should be a person who fell from the Wu family's boat?
"Does the gentleman know about this? What did he say?"

"Lang Jun knows, he has already sent someone to save him."

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "Since this is the case, then we don't need to worry about it. Wait a while to see the progress."

Mung Bean stuck out her tongue and quickly backed away.

Not long after, another news came, and Mu Jiaojiao knew that the person who fell into the water was actually one of the gentlemen who went to Yangzhou with Wu Lixin—Mr. Xu!

After Cui Pu ordered people to rescue him from the water, he watched the Wu family's boats going faster and faster, and soon left them far behind, without any intention of stopping to wait for anyone.Cui Pu had no choice but to ask someone to prepare hot water for him to bathe, and then brought him a set of Mr. Zhuang's clothes to change into.In the end, the two closed the door and talked for a long time.

It was not until evening that Cui Pu returned to Mu Jiaojiao's place.

"This Wu Lixin is really too much!" As soon as he entered the door, he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Just because Mr. Xu taught him a few words before, and then said that he is not as good as me, he held a grudge, and today he directly took Mr. Xu out of the house. He was pushed off the boat! What else to say depends on his luck. If we are lucky and we pick him up, then he will be inexhaustible, and let him follow me in the future to make contributions in that place where no shit in Tianchang County. And if he was unlucky and he drowned in the river, it would be unfair to God, let his soul go to heaven to reason! How can someone be so cruel in this New Year's Eve, and even dare to bully those who were bestowed by the elders wantonly! "

"Didn't you say that day that he is looking for death? Now he is just doing what he has been doing." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"However, throwing people into the water in this cold weather is still..." Cui Pu couldn't accept it.

"That's the difference between you and him. Although they are both dudes, the Cui family has strict upbringing and never allows you to disregard human lives. There is a limit to your playfulness. But after all, the Wu family has insufficient foundation. The Heavenly Empress flourished rapidly, how is this different from a nouveau riche? He has been in contact with the King of Shou since he was a child, and both of them are masters who don't take human life seriously. In this way, they influence each other and bring down each other, so naturally they become more lawless Before, he was able to kill an innocent and weak girl like Miss Junjun, which is enough to show his temperament." Mu Jiaojiao said in a soft voice.

"In the past days, he has been enduring it. It's just that as time goes by, those people refuse to follow his wishes, and he gradually reveals his true nature. Naturally, he has reached this point now. It can only be said that he is now Still the real him."

When Cui Pu heard this, he let out a sigh of relief. "You're right, he is the real him now. In Chang'an City, he was indeed like this! It's just that he had no compassion for the common people before, and I can understand it. But Mr. Xu is him after all. The husband that Father and Concubine Hui arranged for him will be of great use when the time comes, how can he treat him casually? God knows, I can't even ask for such a talent, but he just threw it into the river! "

"So, it's fortunate that he threw it away, and it's also fortunate that you picked him up." Mu Jiaojiao responded, smiling softly at him, "I must congratulate Mr. Lang now, I finally got another capable man!"

When Cui Pu heard this, the anger on his face disappeared immediately, replaced by joy.

"I knew that this matter must not be hidden from your eyes!" He hastily stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist, and leaned his head on her shoulder, "I had a long talk with Mr. Xu just now, and he He has already revealed that he wants to follow me. I tried again and again, and finally confirmed that he is sincere! And I have heard Mr. Zhuang say that Mr. Xu is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he can write beautiful articles. It is just because of bad luck. Every time Qi went to the imperial examination, he always encountered obstacles. Later, he gave up his heart to become an official and joined Wu Changshi's family. Over the years, he helped Wu Changshi write a lot. This time he was sent to follow Wu Lixin In Yangzhou, Wu Changshi must have made a great determination. Unexpectedly, Wu Lixin didn't know how to cherish it at all, and he happened to take advantage of me!"

As he spoke, he laughed triumphantly.

Mu Jiaojiao also smiled: "Now, you don't have to worry about how to deal with those scholars in the county, do you?"

"Yeah, what am I afraid of if he comes out?" Cui Pu smiled, "Now, Mr. Zhuang is good at thinking and reasoning, Mr. Wu specializes in water conservancy, and now there is Mr. Xu who is outstanding in writing, at least in all directions. I can really breathe a sigh of relief now that someone can hold it down! It would be great if such good things can happen a few more times, but I heard that there are still many capable people on the boat ahead!"

"It's not easy to pick one up so quickly, so don't think too much. Wu Lixin is not a fool, he is just using Mr. Xu to make an example, and he will never let go of others." Mu Jiaojiao poked cruelly. break his dream.

Cui Pu pursed his lips. "I understand the truth, but don't you allow me to think about it for a while?"

"Okay, okay, think slowly, think casually, can't I stop disturbing you?" Mu Jiaojiao said helplessly.

"No!" Unexpectedly, Cui Pu refused to let her go at this time, "I picked up such a big baby just on the road today, which shows that our luck must be good this year. Such a good thing, shouldn't the two of us Shall we celebrate together?"

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him indifferently. "To celebrate, let's wait until dawn tomorrow, and then ask Mrs. Hongdou to start a fire and cook a table of delicious dishes to reward everyone."

"That's for tomorrow, now I'm talking about the two of us!" Cui Pucai didn't go around with her, and quickly pushed her, and pulled the brocade quilt to cover the two of them together.
