When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 487 Qinhuai Oiran Canghai
"How are things going?"

Sun Youcai hurriedly replied: "As I said, the regent agreed, but the time is not three days but seven days."

He was also worried when he said this. He didn't know if Sun Qirui would blame him for not doing things well.

He knew that Sun Qirui was ruthless. If Sun Qirui was unhappy, he would most likely be drowned in the Qinhuai River.

Fortunately, Sun Qirui just frowned, and then said: "I know, please go and inform the head of the Zheng family and the head of the Su family."

"Yes, master, this old slave will go now."

Sun Youcai breathed a sigh of relief, this disaster was over.

Sun Qirui ignored Sun Youcai and looked at Han Wenxuan.

"Mr. Han, why did the Regent delay for four days? Is there any backup plan or some action?"

Han Wenxuan has been thinking about this issue, and he said: "According to our informant's report, no one has been in or out of the military camp in the past three days, and they have not received information about the regent's actions, so even if the regent is really If there is any action, it won’t be large-scale.”

"Second is the last move."

"It is said that the regent came out with seven female relatives this time. Two of them are guards. Their strength is unknown, but it seems that they are only first- or second-rate at most, and definitely not peerless."

"As for the female relatives, it's hard to say, but everyone can't be busy."

"The two guards may be reluctant to protect the female family members, let alone the back-up."

"So in my opinion, maybe there is something really wrong with the regent."

"Now the Prince Regent's focus is on the Grand Canal. Maybe something happened to the excavation of the Grand Canal?"

If Li Xiuzhu heard the words, he would only say, "My child, you think too much. The reason why he was a few days late was because he was waiting for people from the capital to show up."

The Sun family must be destroyed. This is an explanation to the Bai family and an explanation to the courtiers.

If they don't care about it, who will do anything for the court in the future?

At this time, as a member of the Sun family, they must speak for the Sun family, otherwise they will never have the chance to speak again.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people want to take the opportunity to break away from the Sun family.

But Li Xiuzhu believed that the Sun family would not fail to leave evidence about those people. As long as those people were not stupid, they would not dare to betray them until they got their hands on them.

When these people move, it will be easy for Fu Wenhan to take action.

Secondly, there is a second reason that Huang Rong is about to advance and Li Xiuzhu is working hard.

He estimated that it would only last two days, so he said seven days later.

Three days later, Huang Rong's aura changed, but it was just the aura that changed. Her young womanly aura was still strong, and she was deeply loved by Li Xiuzhu.

Two more days passed. After Li Xiuzhu saw the news from Shangjing, he set off for the Qinhuai River in Jiangdu.

He didn't bring five girls with him. The Qinhuai River is on the river. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

If there is an ambush, bringing a few women will make you timid.

And there must be someone in the military camp. Although it is unlikely that someone will steal the camp, what if it happens?
Li Xiuzhu gave the gold medal to Huang Rong before leaving. She was the only one who was good at battlefield command.

Li Xiuzhu stayed in Jiangdu for one night, and arrived at the Qinhuai bank before nightfall the next day, the seventh day.

Sun Youcai had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Li Xiuzhu, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please come on board. My master is already waiting on the boat."

Li Xiuzhu was not afraid of the Sun family's deception, so he followed Sun Youcai into the boat and rowed towards the middle of the river.

The goal of the boat is very clear, it is a huge boat, as if a three-story building was built on the boat.

There are three lanterns hanging on the bow of the boat, with the words "Famous Painting Workshop" written on them.

Li Xiuzhu asked curiously: "Why is this painting boat called the Famous Painting Workshop?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Youcai hurriedly said: "Back to your lord, the flower boats on the Qinhuai River are called painted boats. Famous paintings are equivalent to famous flowers, which means that the owner of this boat is extraordinary."

"Unusual? How unusual?" Sun Youcai replied again: "Back to your lord, the owner of this boat is the previous oiran."

"The oiran at Qinhuai is selected once a year. Last year, Miss Canghai was selected without any controversy."

Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this.

"Undisputed?"

Can the election of oiran remain uncontroversial?

Seemingly understanding the meaning of Li Xiuzhu's words, Sun Youcai continued to explain: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is no dispute."

"For example, if there are [-] flower tickets to choose the courtesan, then Canghai girl will get [-] flowers alone."

"Even if someone wants to raise a noble girl, it will be like a chicken flying when it hits a stone."

When Li Xiuzhu heard what Sun Youcai said, he had to say that his curiosity was aroused.

He had some expectations for this woman he had never met before.

"Then why was she only the Oiran last year? Wasn't she re-elected this year?"

Sun Youcai smiled when he heard this and continued: "This is thanks to Qin Huai's rules."

"After Qinhuai Oiran becomes Oiran, he will no longer be allowed to compete for Oiran in the future."

"Of course, once you choose an oiran, you are allowed to call yourself an oiran for five years... until you get married."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"Then there are quite a few of you Qinhuai oirans."

However, what Li Xiuzhu didn't expect was that Sun Youcai actually shook his head.

"There are basically no more than three oirans in Qinhuai at the same time. These oirans usually get married within one or two years after becoming oirans."

"This oiran is my master's concubine."

Fortunately, Sun Qirui was not here, otherwise Sun Youcai would have been buried today. He couldn't hide it, but Sun Youcai actually sold him.

The boat arrived quickly. Li Xiuzhu didn't even wait for the boat to put down the rope pedal. As soon as he stepped on the boat, people were already on the boat.

Sun Qirui had been waiting aside for a long time. He was not surprised to see Li Xiuzhu suddenly appear on the board of the ship. He stepped forward and said, "Sun Qirui, the head of the Sun family, has met the prince."

The head of such a wealthy family is also considered to be an elder of the clan, and it is enough to bow to ordinary officials, but this does not include the prince.

I don't know whether it's because he doesn't want to lose face, or because he wants to give Li Xiuzhu a blow.

However, Li Xiuzhu would not care too much about a dying person and let him be arrogant for a few more days.

However, Li Xiuzhu didn't accommodate him too much, and said softly "hmm", which was regarded as a response.

Sun Qirui felt unhappy in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Your Majesty, please come in. Sun has prepared a little surprise for Your Majesty."

Li Xiuzhu walked first, and a boy in front carefully led the way.

Huafang people live in the water all year round, so they naturally have to focus on comfort.

It's different from what's shown in movies and TV shows. In fact, the lower cabins are all folded and rounded, mainly to resist wind and rain. There is an inner hall inside, and at the end of the walkway leading to the inner hall is an upward staircase leading to the second floor. .

The second floor is roughly what the boat looks like. At this height, water cannot be sprayed, so there are only wooden windows and doors.

The three floors further up are the pavilions and pavilions of the painting boat. It is open on all sides and has light gauze hanging columns, allowing you to enjoy the view of the Qinhuai River.

As Li Xiuzhu came up, a "zheng" sounded.
