Chapter 26 26. You and I, husband and wife, don’t need to say thank you
Cheng Xi returned to the village with a letter from home.
Cheng Daqian's letter is seven or eight pages thick. First, he is concerned about the situation at home, then describes the current schedule of the escort agency, and finally solemnly tells his daughter "not to beat her husband."
Cheng Xi: "."
Recalling that Shen Xingluo effortlessly lifted the sack weighing a hundred kilograms, the person involved had a subtle expression.
It seems that this father-in-law knows very little about his son-in-law——
Ah, he must have been deceived by his weak appearance!
Cheng Xi admired Cheng Daqian from the bottom of his heart for marrying the Shen family.
My future uncle is a reading genius. It is well known in Lin'an Prefecture that if nothing happens, he will be able to enter the officialdom and become a successful person. Anyone who has met Shen Xingluo will feel that he is destined to stir up troubles in the treacherous officialdom.
I don’t know what this father was thinking about handing over the innocent girl he had loved since childhood to such a sinister master.
Are you too confident in your daughter's natural powers?
Or maybe you are too trusting of your uncle?
If this was a multiple-choice question, Cheng Xi would choose C without hesitation.
Daddy Cheng must have been drunk!
Taking the family letter into the newly tidied study room, Cheng Xi handed the two separate sheets to Shen Xingluo.
"Is there a map of Dayan here?"
"Yes."
Shen Xingluo quickly unfolded a table-sized piece of rice paper, which was covered with curves and occasionally had small annotations.
"Where is my father-in-law now?"
"I just left Kyoto. If you look at the date of sending the letter, he should be in Zhuozhou Prefecture now."
"Here."
Shen Xingluo accurately pointed out a small black triangle symbol on the map.
Cheng Xi looked confused, "."
This was the first time she saw such a simple map. There were only official roads, mountains and cities, and nothing else. .
Forget it, what kind of bicycle do you want?
Better than nothing.
"How many miles is it from Zhuozhou to Lin'an Fucheng?"
"About 500 kilometers." "How long can we go?"
"According to the Escort Bureau The journey usually takes 10 days.”
Hongwei Escort Bureau is the largest escort bureau in Lin'an Fucheng. After the escorts arrive at their destination, they often take another order for the return trip, so they can't go very fast.
It’s better to walk than ordinary people.
Cheng Xi heard the caution in his words, "Normal situation?"
Shen Xingluo's eyes flashed slightly, "It's snowing heavily in Lin'an Prefecture now, and it's probably going to be even worse north of the Huai River. The official road is even more difficult.”
“There has been a snowstorm in the north.”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, feeling slightly worried.
According to Sun Xiaorong's news, many people in the state capital have chosen to move south. If it weren't for lack of food, no one would go out and walk around in such cold weather.
And disasters mean that people will die, and it is possible that the victims may riot.
If any of the villagers along the way can’t afford food and drink and chooses to go down the mountain to rob, it will make things worse.
The originally 10-day journey will definitely be postponed.
"Don't worry too much."
Shen Xingluo said, "My father-in-law is very skilled. Normally Xiaoxiao can't hurt him. Besides, there are other escorts from the Hongwei Escort Agency with him."
Previous Life Cheng Daqian came back just before the New Year, but the journey was difficult and not smooth.
"Before moving to the village, I wrote a letter to my father-in-law. The letter mentioned the snow disaster. I believe he has taken precautions now."
"Thank you."
Cheng Xi's tone was sincere.
"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to say thank you."
Shen Xingluo's black eyes stared at her quietly, as if he wanted to see through her whole body.
