The boat went downstream. Although he knew that Mr. Huang and the others could not chase him, Chen Danxia still acted carefully and rarely left the cabin. No matter how slow the people were, they would notice that they had problems, let alone those like Mr. Fan and Aunt Fan who had experienced the world. However, in the opinion, Chen Danxia and Xu Xu were not like bad people. Since they were good people, the people who pursued them must be bad people.

Later, Aunt Fan found out that Chen Danxia was pregnant, so he did his best to take care of her. He went ashore to buy a large meal of ingredients. Of course, the silver was produced by Chen Danxia. Breakfast was fish porridge, boiled egg and white flour steamed buns; lunch was big bone soup, fish meatballs, fried jerky juice and glutinous rice lotus root; dinner was lotus leaf-packed duck, fish head and fish tail roasted tofu soup, vegetarian fried soybean sprouts and sweet and sour thousand pieces, and three meals a day were very rich. Aunt Fan went ashore to buy fruits for Chen Danxia every day.

Four days later, yes, one day later than what Aunt Fan said, he arrived at the Nanmen Wharf in Kui County; it was said that it was the Nanmen Wharf, but in fact it was still a distance from the Nanmen Gate of Kui County. Chen Danxia gave Aunt Fan one tael of silver for the ship hiring fee, and gave her another tael of silver, asking the old couple to accompany them to the county town. Along the way, Chen Danxia felt a little dependent on them and was unwilling to separate.

"Which street does San Niangzi's relative live on? Do you know about San Niangzi?" asked Aunt Fan.

"My cousin is the county magistrate of Kui County." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

Uncle Fan and Aunt Fan were shocked, "So you are the young lady of the official family. These naive people are really rude."

"Thanks to the care of the old man and his wife in the past few days, we can arrive in Kui County safely. Please don't blame me for hiding my identity all the time." Chen Danxia smiled apologetically.

"No wonder, you have no choice but to blame. Old man, go and hire a mule cart." Aunt Fan took out half a string of copper coins and handed them to Mr. Fan.

There were many empty mule carts waiting to carry passengers parked on the dock. Uncle Fan picked up a new one and negotiated the price. He asked the coachman to drive the mule cart over. Aunt Fan helped Chen Danxia get on the car. Then she and Xu Xu got on the car. Uncle Fan and the coachman sat outside together.

The mule cart drove towards the county town without any speed and slow speed, entered the city and headed towards the county government. Before he could reach the county government, there was a commotion in front of him. Chen Danxia lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened?"

Uncle Fan jumped out of the car, asked the person on the roadside, and said, "San Niangzi, the county magistrate's sedan chair is coming, and the idle people are waiting to avoid it."

Such a coincidence!

Chen Danxia was overjoyed and asked the coachman to lean the car to the side, get out of the car, stand on the frame, see the sedan chair coming, and shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng Er."

Cheng Jue, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was so crazy. This is Kui County and not Jindu. How could he hear Xiao Jiumei call him Brother Cheng? Take a deep breath and can no longer think about it.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng."

One more and another, Cheng Jue was sure that it was not auditory hallucination, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop the sedan chair."

The sedan chairwoman put down the sedan chair, Cheng Jue lifted the curtain, came out, looked around, and saw a woman with a dark face tied to her forehead, waving at him.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng."

Cheng Jue separated the person who was blocking him, walked over, looked at the woman who seemed to be similar between his eyebrows and eyes, and asked hesitantly: "Little Jiu Mei?"

"Brother Cheng, go back to the yamen first, I'll explain to you later." Chen Danxia finished speaking quickly, lowered his head and hid in the car. This move was actually a bit risky, but she was really afraid of missing it, so she had to take it.

"Go back to the yamen." Cheng Jue turned around and sat back in the sedan chair.

The mule cart followed the sedan to the backyard of the county government office, and got out of the car with Shen Danxia. Aunt Fan said, "San Niangzi, since you have successfully found your cousin, we are back to the dock. The boat is docked at the dock for too long, so we are not very relieved."

"Along the way, I have the care of my uncle and aunt. Please accept this little money and express my gratitude." Chen Danxia took out the bag of broken silver found in Mr. Huang's room and handed it to Aunt Fan, "It's not too much, please don't dislike Aunt."

"San Niangzi, you have given me the money you hired for the ship. The food along the way was also bought with your money. We can't ask for these money anymore." Aunt Fan refused.

"Auntie, please accept it. This is my intention." Chen Danxia stuffed the bag of broken silver to Auntie Fan.

Xu Xu also helped to persuade him a few times. Because he was worried about Chen Danxia's health, Aunt Fan was not good at urging her, so he took the money and left in a mule cart with Mr. Fan. Cheng Jue asked Chen Danxia to sit in the house, let his confidant guard the door, and asked anxiously: "Little Jiu Mei, what happened? Why did you come to Kui County?"

"The earthquake occurred in Jindu. I followed my grandmother to Changping County to avoid disasters, but I didn't want to be targeted by Prince Anping Gao Yan. They broke into the inn, kidnapped Sister Xu and me, and took us all the way south. Five days ago, I found an opportunity to escape and took Sister Xu to hire Mr. Fan's boat and arrived in Kui County with their help." Chen Danxia said simply.

"You have suffered." Cheng Jue looked at Chen Danxia, ​​who had to pretend to avoid people's eyes and ears, and said with a heartache.

"Fortunately, they asked me for help and did not treat me badly along the way. After escaping, Aunt Fan took good care of me. Brother Cheng, please help me send a message back to Jindu and let Brother Lang come and pick me up?" Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"I will send someone a message back to Jindu. You can stay here with peace of mind. Just say whatever you need, don't see you." Cheng Jue smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I won't be polite to you." Chen Dan smiled.

Cheng Jue had not married yet, so it was his milk sister-in-law Tian who helped him take care of his inner house, and his milk brother Li Minghua who followed him out. Cheng Jue told his milk sister to clean up the guest room and arranged two honest maids to serve Chen Danxia and Xu Xu.

When she arrived in Kui County, she saw Cheng Jue and arrived at a safe place. Chen Danxia completely relaxed, took a shower and changed clothes, and washed away all the dirt. There was so much inconvenience along the way. Since she was tied up, she had never really taken a shower. She felt that her whole body was smelly.

After taking a shower, Chen Danxia changed into a clean and comfortable cotton dress and leaned against the soft pillow on the couch. The maid stood behind and wiped her hair with a towel. After rubbing a few towels, Chen Danxia's hair was half dry. The maid was also good at hand. She held a jade hairpin and helped Chen Danxia tie her hair up and said, "Grandma, the cook stewed chicken soup. I will bring it to you."

"Okay, I'm working hard." Chen Danxia smiled politely.

The maid bowed and retreated.

Chen Danxia touched his bulging belly and talked to the child, "Little guy, you have been five months old, can you move? Don't be so lazy? Your mother, my father and you are both diligent people. If you don't raise lazy kids, move quickly."

After chanting it once, his stomach didn't respond. Chen Danxia patted his stomach and chanted it twice. The child in her belly seemed to be annoyed by her mouth and moved. Chen Danxia felt that his belly was kicked on both sides, which was quite painful and exhaled softly.

Tian led an old doctor into the door. Hearing the cry, he rushed in, "Grandma, how are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I don't feel uncomfortable, it's this kid who kicked me in his stomach." Chen Danxia smiled.

Tian patted his chest and smiled. His second master repeatedly told her to take good care of Grandma Xu. If Grandma Xu had any mistakes, she would not be able to bear it. "Grandma Young Master, I have invited an old doctor to come back to take your pulse?"

"Okay, please come in, doctor." Chen Danxia said, tidied up his skirt.

Tian invited the old doctor in. The old doctor came in and looked at Chen Danxia's belly and asked, "How many months have you been with your belly?"

"It's five months." Chen Danxia smiled.

The old doctor sat down beside the couch and took the pulse of Chen Danxia. After the left hand, he checked the right hand. Chen Danxia saw that he had a serious expression and was worried, wouldn't this child have any problems?

"No wonder it looks like it's a seven-month-old belly, but it turns out to be twins." The old doctor smiled.

The twins are hereditary. When Chen Danxia was pregnant, she thought about whether she would be like Tao, who would have two children at a time. However, Dr. Hao didn't say it clearly, so she thought it was one. Chen Danxia was in good health and didn't need to drink fetal preservation drugs. The old doctor did not prescribe her medicine, but just told her to have a good meal or something.

Tian led the old doctor out and went to the front hall to see Cheng Jue. He learned from the old doctor that Chen Danxia was pregnant with twins, and twins usually gave birth in advance. So Cheng Jue said solemnly: "My sister is the first child. The elders in the family have not come yet. I have to worry about Lao Xinglin. The next day I come to take her pulse. The doctor's salary is twice as much. What does Lao Xinglin think?"

"The next day, I came here to take the pulse for Lingmei, which was just a small task. I will not receive too much money for this diagnosis. The doctor is the parents' heart, so the adults don't have to have any burden." The old doctor said with a smile.

"Thank you." Cheng Jue bowed.

This matter was settled.

Although Cheng Jue did not restrict Chen Danxia's entry and exit, Chen Danxia is a person who knows the importance of the matter. He does not want to cause trouble for Cheng Jue, and he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble. He stays in the backyard, takes a walk in the garden in the morning, takes a nap in the afternoon, and studies for his children.

Cheng Jue is busy with official business, and Chen Danxia has not met him for two days. On this day, Chen Danxia, ​​Xu Xu and Tian sat under the green vineyard chatting. Tian smiled and said, "Grandma, Miss Xu, I will tell you something interesting. Yesterday, my servant came back with the Second Master and said that a blond and blue-eyed foreigner came to the county government. He seemed to be quite anxious and said a lot of talk, but no one could understand. This morning, the Second Master asked my servant to go to find someone who could learn foreign languages ​​and official languages."

"There are foreigners in Jindu, and they speak in Mandarin." Although Xu Xu didn't go out much, Jin had shops run by foreigners. She followed Xu Wen once or twice.

"It should be a foreigner who just came ashore with the ship yesterday." Tian analyzed. Kui County is near the sea and there is a pier by the sea. Japanese pirates usually attack from November to March. There is nothing wrong with the rest of the past few months. Foreign ships often docked on the pier, and then went ashore and turned into the inland river to board the boat north.

"I know which country the foreigner is from?" Chen Danxia asked.

If she speaks English and French, she may be able to help. She has taken English and French in modern times. She has learned English slightly better and has a slightly worse French, but there is no problem with daily conversations.

"I don't know this, I didn't say that." Tian said with a smile.

Chen Danxia pondered for a moment and said, "If you find someone who can speak foreign languages ​​and official language, forget it. If you don't find it, just say to Brother Li, my uncle has done business with foreigners. I have learned their words. Although I have forgotten so many years, I may be able to help."

"I have written it down." Tian said with a smile.

As he was talking, the maid outside walked in, "Sister-in-law Li, the captain once said that the foreigner came again yesterday, and neither the lord nor the elder brother Li have come back yet, what should I do?"

"What should I do? How can I do?" Tian said frowningly.

"I'll go out and have a look." Chen Danxia stood up with the table.

Xu Xu and Tian also went out to gain knowledge. Under the guidance of the maid, they went to see Captain Zeng. Captain Zeng bowed and took them to the room next to the official party. The blonde and blue-eyed foreigner walked around the room with a look of eagerness.

When the foreigner saw Captain Zeng coming, a long list of foreign languages ​​emerged. There is still a difference between modern French and classic French. Chen Danxia also felt a little troublesome, frowned slightly, licked his lips, and asked in French: "Is there anything I can help you?"

The foreigner looked at Chen Danxia in surprise. Although Chen Danxia's tone was a bit awkward and his grammar was a little wrong, it was indeed his native language, and someone could finally understand his words.

"Mrs. My name is Cretienne. I am from the Cape Dynasty. I served for the Philip Trading Company. I came east with the Trading Company. After I got ashore, I got separated from them. I don't know what to do? No one can understand what I said? Ah, Madam. Please help me, this poor man." The foreigner gestured with exaggerated body.

"I once captured the captain, this gentleman is Mr. Cretien from the Cape Dynasty. He is a friend of the Philip Trading Company. Have you ever heard of the Philip Trading Company?" asked Chen Danxia.

The headmaster Zeng shook his head and said, "There is no shop run by foreigners in the county. There is a family in Huzhou City, but its name is Aibute Trading Company."

"Mr. Kretien, when did you get separated from your accomplices?" Chen Danxia asked.

"Our boat was docked on the dock yesterday afternoon and we wanted to try the local food, so we wandered around the streets, and then they disappeared. I came back to the dock and they had left with the cargo." Kretien said with a sad face.

"Mr. Kretien, don't worry. Maybe your accomplices are looking for you too. Please stay here for the time being. I will ask this captain to help you find someone from the Philip Trading Company and then notify you. Do you think?" Chen Danxia asked in French.

"Beautiful lady, I am willing to obey your arrangements." Cretien smiled politely.

Chen Danxia was about to ask Captain Zeng to take him down, but turned his head and saw Cheng Jue standing at the door, raised his lips and called out, "Brother Cheng."

Cheng Jue walked in with a puzzled look, "How could you speak foreign language?"

"I have learned from others. How about it? Am I helping you?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.

Cheng Jue smiled gently and said, "I've helped you a lot."
