Chapter 124: The Ship
A building boat nearly four zhang high and six zhang long is driving rapidly on the sea, the sails are full of wind, the blue sea and the sky are the same color, the white clouds and birds are the same, which makes people open-minded and unobstructed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This building ship went from Huatong Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion, except for the sailors at the helm, there were thirty people, almost all of whom were merchants who traveled between the two places.
The waterway is not much faster than the land carriage, but it is much more expensive, so ordinary people would rather the carriage be bumpy, and the people who are not wealthy will not take the building boat to swim all the way to the water and enjoy the scenery.
Lin Saburo fetches food in the room of the building boat, and the food on the boat is always worse than the restaurant at home, but no one cares so much.
"Put more meat! Ay! Don't cabbage! Isn't that beef with sauce? Clip a few more pieces! Too little! You can't even eat enough! Don't be stingy, a few more meat buns, don't ...... steamed buns"
In the face of Lin Sanlang's shouting, the guy in charge of the kitchen gave him a blank look and almost threw the spoon.
"It's a lot, and the meat is all in your bowl!" The guy said dissatisfiedly.
Lin Saburo said with a smile: "There are so many, add a little more, my lady is pregnant, but two people eat, you scoop a spoonful of fried chicken gizzards......"
The guy was stunned, he had also seen Lin Sanlang and the "lady" in his mouth in the past two days, and he was about to get to know him, this person was so annoying, he always wanted to eat more and occupy more, his "lady" stomach was deflated like a dumpling skin, what kind of pregnancy could he have?
The guy in charge of the spoon scooped him another spoonful with hatred, and said in pain: "It's all right......"
"Thank you, little brother!" Lin Saburo stuffed a meat bun into the guy's mouth and said, "It's not that we don't give silver, let's cook more meat dishes next time!" ”
After finishing speaking, she covered the food box and went out in a hurry, and ran to knock on a cabin, Mei Xueyan was resting on the table, and when she raised her head, she described it as haggard and her lips were white.
"You...... There is no better. ”
Lin Saburo said cautiously, he knew that he had done something wrong, and he was full of guilt, and he couldn't be rampant at all in front of her.
Mei Xueyan didn't pay attention to her, only rubbed the corners of her forehead.
This was the second day, when she woke up on the boat, she began to feel dizzy, her whole body was weak, she couldn't eat or sleep, she would vomit even when she drank water, she couldn't sleep when she lay down, she simply sat up, she was really sleepy and squinted on the table for a while, and she hardly slept for an hour at the end of the day.
"The food I fetched, the dishes on the ship are not as good as my own, you see braised pork, fried chicken gizzards, sauced beef ......"
Seasickness is not a disease, but I really committed it, and I realized how uncomfortable it was, I couldn't eat or sleep, and I was groggy all day long.
Mei Xueyan had no appetite, and she was even more disgusted when she saw the greasy meat, but she had vomited all the way and could only retch.
"Alas, I knew you would get dizzy on the boat, so I rented a carriage......"
Lin Saburo brought her tea and poured water, and stroked her back, but he was really sorry but couldn't do anything.
He was originally rude to knock Mei Xueyan unconscious, and he was afraid that she would have to go back when she woke up, so he could only choose to take a boat, Mei Xueyan didn't make noise after she woke up, but Lin Sanlang knew that he had done something bad, and he didn't dare to ask her to forgive him, so he could only serve her with all his heart.
It's been two days, and she still hasn't said a word to herself, which shows that she is angry.
"It's really not good, when we get to the next port, let's get off the boat and take the carriage, do you think it's okay?"
Lin Saburo still couldn't get an answer, so he could only be anxious, worried that she would hate her for acting recklessly, and worried that she had not eaten a grain of rice to burn her body, and when her temperament became anxious, Lin Saburo almost slapped himself a few times.
"If you can make you feel better, or you can beat me and scold me, you can beat me as you like, or I'll find you a stick to ......"
Lin Saburo didn't notice at all, when did he, who is invincible, beg people so softly?
Mei Xueyan was so dizzy that the sky was dark, where did she have the strength to hit him? Lin Saburo didn't have hope, he kept talking to himself to relieve Mei Xueyan and let her forgive herself earlier, but when he was helpless, he heard Mei Xueyan finally speak.
"The county government does not have a master book, who will handle the disaster relief silver and grain?"
Although it had nothing to do with him, Lin Saburo was pleasantly surprised.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wu has already explained that he will arrange another manpower, as well as Feng Qiumo, Chen Pozi and a few others, I have sent someone to say hello."
What Lin Sanlang said was that Mei Xueyan suddenly decided to go to Taiyuan Mansion to participate in the government exam, and happened to be on the way with Lin Sanlang, so they were all surprised that they left suddenly, and they could participate in the government exam in Huatong Mansion, why did Mei Xueyan go to Taiyuan Mansion to study, but with Lin Sanlang's guarantee, there was no doubt.
Taiyuan Mansion and Huatong Mansion are similar, anyway, they have to fight for the government test places, and Huatong Mansion is only nearly half a day's journey on the way. The only difference is that Taiyuan is richer than Huatong and has twice as many people.
Lin Sanlang was careless, but he had the intention to think about what would happen after Mei Xueyan was taken away, which made Mei Xueyan angry a little. The study also left a message, with Xu Tai here, everything is going well, Mei Xueyan suspects that Zhou Zuoren's wives and relatives should be instructed by others to make trouble, and they can't afford to make big trouble, at most they make a small fuss.
"This is the letterhead that Wu County Ling and Feng Qiumo asked me to pass on to you."
Lin Saburo took out two letters from his pocket and handed them to Mei Xueyan, who was dazed and only took a cursory look.
One letter was Feng Qiumo's entrustment of a few things, and the other was ordered by Wu County, in addition to some trivial matters, he also sandwiched a letter of recommendation, asking the prefect to help Mei Xueyan arrange a academy and divide the quota for the government examination.
Lin Saburo accosted her again but didn't get a response, so he could only go to the small warehouse in the cabin to feed the horses in frustration.
Lin Bai Congee likes the second dog very much, and he has a lot of fun holding the huge horse's head, completely unaware that this big guy can trample it through the stomach with just one foot.
"Huh? Maybe she will be in a much better mood when she sees the white porridge......"
Lin Sanlang had a flash of inspiration, hugged Lin Bai porridge and went to find Mei Xueyan again, but saw that Mei Xueyan had already walked to the deck to blow the wind, and the slender appearance of holding on to the railing made Lin Sanlang feel distressed.
"Yanniang, the sea breeze is strong, and you are not feeling well, so let's go to the cabin to rest." Lin Sanlang said with concern, "Look, I brought Lin Bai porridge with me to relieve your boredom." ”
Mei Xueyan glanced at him lightly, neither scolding him for his robber behavior, nor praising him for being considerate and careful.
The dog cub was innocent, Mei Xueyan didn't hate the house and Wu, and played with Lin Bai porridge in her hand.
Lin Bai Congee still likes Mei Xueyan the most, and as soon as she met her, she began to be happy, and Mei Xueyan was finally amused by her naivety.
Lin Saburo happily rubbed his big hands on the side.
After a day, Mei Xueyan finally got much better with seasickness, and in order to strengthen her body, she still insisted on practicing "Five Fowl Opera", but her movements were much softer.
At this time, on the deck in the distance, a pair of eyes happened to fall on Mei Xueyan, revealing a luster full of interest.
