The sun rose, the bright rays of light had just disappeared, and the endless sea changed from golden yellow to dark blue, and the Songjiang Mansion behind it was no longer visible.

Fourteen giant yellow cloth sails that were stronger than leather all rose, facing the north wind tightly, and the huge mast connecting the hull made a harsh sound.

The crew was doing their job in an orderly manner. At this moment, Xu Hao was sitting leisurely at the bow of the boat, holding a bottle in the sea breeze. Not long after boarding the boat, he got into a group with the navy officers and soldiers. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call him the navy now.

Compared to the hard work of traveling by land, for most business travelers, walking thousands of miles with luggage is definitely a nightmare, and taking a boat is definitely a journey like a paradise.

When riding a sea boat, there is no scenery on both sides of the shore that you can enjoy. No matter how beautiful the blue sky and white clouds are, they will be extremely boring after watching for a long time. The salty sea smell and the sour and rotten smell floating everywhere are mixed with paint and fishy smell, etc. The mixed smell is enough to make people sick, but when you get used to it, you will endure it.

Compared to Xu Yan and others' discomfort, Xu Hao liked the smell of the boat very much. He sat alone on the deck, his correct posture had not changed at all.

Zhu Qiaoqiao walked over with a pale face. No matter how many times she took the boat, she would never get used to the feeling of bumpyness on the sea.

He leaned weakly against Xu Hao and sat down, asking, "Do you like the ocean so much?"

Xu Hao reached out to hold her hand and said, "I like the sea very much, like its quiet appearance, and also like its violent appearance. I have thought seriously that I will forget everything in this world and be a crew member for the rest of my life."

Zhu Qiaoqiao held the other person's big hand tightly with one hand, held the bun with the other hand, and asked again: "Aren't you afraid of the turbulent sea? Whenever I hear the tragic incident of the ship being destroyed, I feel scared."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "How can you not be afraid? But living on land still requires experiencing many terrible and troubled things. It is far less than wandering on the vast and boundless sea. Your mind will become cheerful and can wash away everything that is accumulated in your heart."

A smile appeared on Zhu Qiaoqiao's lips, "I don't like you being a little boatman or catching small fish by the stream. My man shouldn't have such ambitions."

Xu Hao laughed and said, "Can I not show my ambitions yet? Your ambitions have been expanding irresistiblely, and it takes a long time to satisfy them?"

Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "The world outside on your map is so big that it is shocking. Now as a daughter, I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why can't I be the founding queen of the country?"

"I won't interfere." Xu Hao thought for a while, "In Russia, which the Mongols had conquered, they grew and developed from a small principality to own the most vast territory in the world. Among them was the queen, Yekarina II. Under her rule, the Russian army conquered countless lands; in an island country in England, there were also many empresses who were very powerful, turning Britain into a powerful empire, hoping that my sister-in-law could also become such a monarch and lead the subjects to glory."

Zhu Qiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "You are here to laugh at me again."

Xu Hao said seriously: "It's not a joke, everything is possible in this world. I can give you the whole Liaodong. The only condition is that my sister-in-law must expand to the outside world."

"How can I attack my own family? Besides, I don't have the ability." Zhu Qiaoqiao suddenly had a whim and was full of interest. "If there was one day, who would you choose to help?"

Xu Hao said without hesitation: "No one can help. It's a pity that sister-in-law, don't think about it. You will never be able to get involved in the pass in your lifetime."

Zhu Qiaoqiao said discouragedly: "I'm so tired. I'm living this life tremblingly. What's the point of living? I think it's better. When I get to Shandong, I want you to accompany me to Mount Tai."

Xu Hao frowned and asked, "Why do you want to go to Mount Tai?"

Zhu Qiaoqiao turned her head and tried to say as if nothing had happened: "You have been with Ningxue back then."

At this moment, the pleasant sound of seagulls flapping their wings that had not been heard in my ears for a while, and the world suddenly became vivid.

Princess Runing's eldest daughter is Lu Suhuai, and her grandfather is Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, who was killed, and her father is Lu Xian. Because her parents hope that her daughter can stay away from the ups and downs of the capital, she married the Shen family, a prominent family member in Shandong at the age of thirteen. Her husband is Chen Xiang, a famous talented man in Shandong.

Zhu Qiaoqiao brought Xu Hao to stay. Although the Shen clan is a prominent family, the Shen family is just an ordinary scholarly family. They have thousands of acres of fertile land and have little houses. They don’t have many servants. The rules are so strict that they are scary.

Xu Hao stayed in the guest room, Zhu Qiaoqiao was welcomed into the inner house, and Lu Suhuai had already planned to go out for a relaxing time. He took the opportunity to invite his sister-in-law to ask about going to Mount Tai.

Before he could speak, the sister-in-law saw that she was so anxious and was entertaining tea and snacks attentively, and said deliberately: "I am very busy and I am about to burn incense on the top of Mount Tai. If I don't have time, I will spare this tea."

Lu Suhuai was overjoyed and said, "Is there a great ritual? A few days ago, why didn't you come to me for your ritual?"

"Oh, I'm still talking." My sister-in-law looked aggrieved. "I went to the mansion twice, but was stopped by the outsider and refused to let us in. On February 19th, the Christmas of the White-clothed Bodhisattva was built for three days and nights. At that time, it was really crowded. The grandmother of the village in Jinan Prefecture City and the wife of the scholar-in-law came from thousands of miles away, and the sedan chair and horses were squeezed into a gap.

Grandma Chen, it’s a pity that you didn’t go. The official gave me a hundred dollars of donations and drove me out. March 18th is Grandma Taishan’s Christmas, which is more grand than the Christmas of the White-clothed Bodhisattva. The believers in Shandong and the capital of the world come to the temple fairs, and there are no clothes, jewelry, pearls, and agate sold? Of course, you are not a royal family, but it’s also lively.”

Speaking of the Shen family, the family style is rigorous, and it is impossible for the daughter-in-law to go out for a temple fair, let alone be far away in Mount Tai. But Lu Suhuai is not a good girl who follows the rules, but now Zhu Qiaoqiao, who is unscrupulous, has come again.

Lu Suhuai said: "This time my sister and I are going to go too, you can take us out for a walk."

The sister-in-law shouted, "I don't dare. The official's opinion is that I am not a good person, as if I want to deceive my grandmother. If you want to say that everyone accumulates blessings, you will be the one who serves a white-clothed grandmother, hoping to have a good child; if you serve a grandmother on the top, hoping to increase your blessings and longevity. What does the official's opinion know?"

Zhu Qiaoqiao looked disdainful. Can a sister-in-law who travels around the house like this be a good person? She is probably in another place, as long as she doesn't think about it and is too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

At the same time, Xu Hao sat in the guest room, and Xu Yan and his people cleaned the room very clean. Two clothes were separated from the back of the room as a dressing place, a large wooden bed with boxwood inlays, six single chairs on both sides, and a small square coffee table. In the southwest corner, there was a half-old small collapse.

To the south is by the window, there is a table with eight immortals and two rattan chairs, a rattan bed and a large wardrobe on the east side, with two wooden boxes stacked on it.

Xu Yan asked the servant to make a pot of tea before the rain, add animal carbon to the chicken crowing stove, and instruct the kitchen to prepare wine and food. Xu Hao admired several paintings of ladies, unbuttoned the small gold watch on the buttons, placed it on the table with the sapphire ring on his hand, and picked up the teacup.

Suddenly, when he heard the screams of his servants, it seemed that the Shen family was dealing with the servants who made mistakes, Xu Hao frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Yan ran over immediately, stared at him and said angrily: "Go to another place to call me, haven't you seen that alarmed my uncle?"

The butler holding the whip looked surprised and said, "You are guests, why should you interfere with the master's house?"

Xu Yan lowered his face and said to Mu Yun, "You go find Chen Yuanwai." After that, he turned around and left.

"Bah! What's the matter?" The housekeeper didn't believe in evil, and whipped a few times in a row, then saw Shutong running over panting and shouting, "Stop hitting, don't hit, master is annoyed."

At this time, Mr. Chen's hands were trembling. He never expected that the imperial envoy would come to the house and follow the princess. It seemed that he planned to visit privately in a private place.

He scolded the butler who was not very eye-catching and drove the person away. Chen Yuanwai thought hard that he had not offended the nobles for the past two days. He seemed to think he was an ordinary noble child, but he had looked down on him.

Lu Suhuai came in with his head down, hesitating about how to explain to his father-in-law that he was going out. He didn't want Chen Yuanwai to get up and asked kindly: "What's the matter with the wife?"

Lu Suhuai said weakly: "I want to go to Tai'anzhou with my cousin."

If it was impossible in the past, she also held hope for the situation. Unexpectedly, her father-in-law said without saying a word: "Go and relax. By the way, bring more money and staff, our family cannot neglect the guests."

Huh? Lu Suhuai was extremely surprised and thought to himself that my father-in-law took the wrong medicine today. He still had to think about buying a kilo of meat at home. Why are he so generous today?

No matter what, my father-in-law agreed, and the happy Lu Suhuai turned around with confusion.

In the early morning, Xu Hao came out of the guest room and walked straight to the inner house. When the servant saw that it was a distinguished guest specially instructed by the master, he let him in without asking.

As soon as I entered, I met Chen Yuanwai, a boxing man, and pretended to say: "I read my nephew's article yesterday. The grammar is the most profitable and biased. I appreciate it very much! You see, many people who are proficient in the current study are lucky, but there are first-class veterans who can make every effort. Although the article is not in line with the topic, as long as it is strange and reasonable, speaks loudly, and is proud of its talent, those who read the article will not refuse to read this article, and dare not not read it. In short, quoting the words and destiny and meaning of the words must be spicy, and do not follow the crowd. Remember to remember!"

"Yes." Xu Hao was amused, and he was timid on his face, so he quickly let out a lot of oil.

Zhu Qiaoqiao also lives in the inner house to receive relatives, and is close to the high wall, so Xu Hao is not worried about misunderstandings, and he smells a sweet fragrance as soon as he enters the house.

Meiren Quan lowered her head under the window and sewed Xu Hao's ribbon. When she saw someone coming, she stopped the needle and thread and said, "I feel that the weather is still very cold. It is cold on my neck. I am afraid I will suffer a cold for a while. I took out a piece of fire rat's leather and sewed it tightly around it to avoid the cold.

Xu Hao saw that she was wearing a silk narrow-sleeved tight-fitting jacket, and her half-new and old-fashioned lotus color was comparable. The more she felt her posture was extraordinary and charming.

Walking forward and reaching out to massage the tender and smooth neck gently, Meiren Quan chuckled and said, "It just so happened that my neck was sour."
