After sailing on the river for several days, they finally reached Hengshan County. Hengshan County has jurisdiction over four prefectures and counties, and the place where they landed is called Qizhou.

Qizhou is a very prosperous city, and it is also a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. When Shen Ruyu and they hadn't docked yet, they could see many ships moored at the dock ferry from a distance, the weather that day was very clear, the breeze was blowing, which was refreshing, Shen Ruyu still didn't dare to approach the side of the boat, but even if she was just standing at the door of the cabin, under the high sky and distant clouds, she could see the scene not far away like a vast and detailed picture scroll - the ferry was crowded with most of the ships they had never seen, or at most had only seen portraits in books, and some of their sails were raised high, Some have been rolled up and down, and the different mysteries of them are fascinating.

Those merchant ships, passenger ships, sand ships, cargo ships - even if they are of the same kind, there are many differences in terms of individuals, and only a few of them are closest to the standards in the book, Shen Ruyu can happily find that he knows their names.

Some of them are vermilion, some are apricot yellow, some are royal blue, some are willow blue, some are painted with waves on the hull, some are placed on the bow of the ship with the statue of a bird, some have carved the top of the mast into the shape of a plum blossom, and even dyed it vividly, and some are painted with distant mountains and green waters on the sails, as if the road ahead is their hometown.

Most of the cargo ships were full of bows and tails, many masts and sails, and there were many workers on board shouting and carrying goods, and the passenger boats were slender and slender, and the cabins were spacious and neat, and some of the guests packed up their salutes and carefully boarded the land, some drank and had fun on the deck, some leaned over the window to catch the water under the boat, and some gazed with great interest at the painting boat not far away--among the many ships, the delicate painting boat like a small building was the most conspicuous.

If the other ships are like reckless men in coarse clothes, then it is like a quiet lying aside, elegant and lazy beauty.

It didn't seem to want to mingle with other ships, and it was moored alone far away, and from time to time some thinly clothed teenagers could be seen practicing musical instruments in the bow of the boat, which attracted many frivolous whistles, and a lot of people were full of voices and red dust.

For the group on the boat, this is a new and fresh scene, Ming Xi couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, Wen Ming held the railing with both hands, although he was still habitually silent on the surface, his eyes couldn't help but be full of yearning and surprise, shining.

"Ruyu!" Wang Zijun glanced at it several times, then turned his head and waved excitedly to Ruyu who was standing in the cabin, "Come and compose a poem!" ”

…… Make a ghost poem!! No one could let her get a step closer to the side of the boat!

So she smiled calmly and turned her face away, when she didn't hear anything.

But when she turned her head, their boat happened to sail past the painting boat, and a young man on the deck who was practicing sword dancing with two swords turned around, and just met her gaze, smiling at her. Shen Ruyu subconsciously smiled back gently, and then when she turned her head, she saw Wen Ming and Ming Xi standing on the other side of the deck, looking at her with a subtle expression.

“…… Belch. Although she didn't do anything, Shen Ruyu suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and she coughed, trying to show her very integrity. I'm just going to take a look at ......."

Soon, the official ship stopped at the ferry in silence and in a low-key manner.

The servants began to move quickly and quickly to carry their luggage, ready to move them into the post station one by one after a while, but Shen Ruyu and Wang Zijun walked away ahead of time with Wen Ming and Mingxi.

The official position of patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven is called a dethroned envoy, but different people have their own different ways of patrolling.

Some show their identities with great fanfare, and greet hundreds of officials every time they go to a place, and there are also those who hide their identities and sneak in and make private interviews with microservices. Shen Ruyu didn't want to waste too much time on officialdom, so she almost didn't hesitate to choose the latter way, packed up a few sets of clothes, and went ashore in a very low-key manner, not even going to live in the post station, but finding an inn by herself.

They walked through the lively and unfamiliar streets, the streets of Qizhou were not wider and straighter than those of Jingshi, but they had their own neat atmosphere.

Ming Xi looked around curiously, as if her two eyes were not enough, but Shen Ruyu quickly regained her composure except for the excitement for a while at first.

After Wang Zijun cordially inquired a few passers-by, he learned that the largest and most famous inn in the entire Hengshan County was in front.

"Hmm...... Fortune Inn. Shen Ruyu looked at the inn that was said to be the largest and most famous inn in the entire Hengshan County, and muttered for a while, "...... Is there a Yuelai Inn here or is it called, Longmen, Tongfu? ”

Hearing her say this, Wang Zijun came over curiously, "What?" What's so special about those inns? A hot spring in the backyard? Are the shopkeepers particularly good-looking? The room was extra spacious? ”

"No," Shen Ruyu was stunned for a moment when she heard her friend's guess, and then shook her head as if she felt a little funny, "It's just...... I've heard a lot of interesting stories that happened. ”

I heard that there were many interesting stories, and Mingxi on the side suddenly became interested. "Shall we take a look then?"

Shen Ruyu was actually not obsessed with the name of the inn, she looked at Ming Xi carrying a burden on her shoulders and holding one in her arms, and smiled, "We can go and put down the package first, and then go and walk around." ”

Because of the experience, it doesn't matter if Shen Ruyu and Wang Zijun don't have servants to serve, but Wen Ming and Mingxi are a little uncomfortable, but Wen Ming is trying to learn to take care of himself, and Mingxi is still a little pampered - but under Shen Ruyu's "exercise", he can now help with the luggage - this truth that the smallest person in charge of carrying the luggage was put forward by Wang Zijun, Shen Ruyu deeply agreed, but Wen Ming insisted on holding his own package.

Fortunately, Fulai Inn is worthy of the name of the largest inn, there is no situation where there is only the last room left, but there is a little disagreement when asking for a room, Wang Zijun out of thrift considerations, ready to be a room with Shen Ruyu, Wen Ming and Mingxi, but this matter was unanimously opposed by Shen Ruyu, Mingxi and Wen Ming, Wen Ming proposed a room for one person, Mingxi wanted to be with Shen Ruyu, and the final result was to open three rooms - Mingxi, Wen Ming one room, Shen Ruyu and Wang Zijun shared a room.

"It's a little bit if you can save a little." The accountant who managed all their money said so carefully.

Miss Wang, who had seen all the sufferings of the world in Changchun, was very cautious, and she divided her money into many parts and hid them in various corners of her body to prevent someone from stealing - such an experienced approach really made Wen Ming and Mingxi, who were going out for the first time, feel a lot more at ease, but Shen Ruyu knew that Wang Zijun was like her, and the farthest place from home from childhood to adulthood was probably the outskirts of Jingshi when she went on an outing - not as good as her.

At least when Shen Ruyu was in his last life, he went from one end of his country to the other.

And when Wang Zijun was about to stuff the last money into his shoes, he was finally unanimously protested and had to give up.

After a while, they had a place to stay.

It was still early, and they had all rested well on the boat, and Mingxi and Wen Ming were a little eager to go out and have a look, but one of them was more obvious, while the other was quite reserved.

However, when they went out to meet and were about to go out shopping, Shen Ruyu came out with Wang Zijun, and then looked at Wen Ming dressed as a Taoist priest, Wang Zijun dressed as a female crown, and Ming Xi who looked like a Taoist child, and suddenly felt that it was a bit stressful to walk with them on the street.

“…… It's better for you to borrow me a set of Taoist clothes, Zijun. Shen Ruyu looked at her robe with a light purple shirt, a moon-white skirt and a pink gauze embroidered goldfinch, and stretched out her hand towards Wang Zijun, "Let's pretend that we are all Taoist priests, harmonious and unified." ”

"Don't." But Wang Zijun looked at her vigilantly and took a step back, and shook his head sternly, "I can't be the most temperamental and beautiful woman among us, at least I want to be the most temperamental and beautiful female Taoist!" No one can take this place! ”

Ming Xi opened his mouth again and again, and after a "uh", he didn't seem to know what to say and was subtly silent with Wen Ming.

Shen Ruyu couldn't help but reach out and hold her forehead: "...... Bring. ”

The cyan robe is more suitable for Shen Ruyu than imagined, perhaps because her dress is originally preferred to be elegant and clean, so she does not wear powder or jewelry, it is more beautiful and pure, and when she slowly walked down the stairs of the inn in a azure wide-sleeved robe, the group of people sitting in the hall waiting for her had different reactions.

Wang Zijun glanced at her sadly and snorted. "Ruyu, do you know, if you take another whisk now, it feels like you can fly immortals with a flick."

Wen Ming smiled a little reserved and shyly, "It's very ...... For you. ”

Mingxi ran over, grabbed her sleeve intimately, and looked at her with a look of admiration on her head, "Ah...... Sister Ayu looks good in whatever she wears! ”

Shen Ruyu smiled at her.

But in the eyes of others, this scene seems less pure.

Wen Ming frowned and regained his expressionless Kaolin Flower Pattern, while Wang Zijun couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, "Hey...... Ruyu has been watched by His Majesty for too long, and as soon as she goes out, she is hungry and hungry......"

The young man tugging at Shen Ruyu's sleeve didn't seem to understand what she was talking about at first, but after a while, he suddenly reacted and rushed towards Wang Zijun, "...... What does it mean to be hungry!! Sister Zijun, why are you like this! I don't want to look so thin and thin!! ”

Wang Zijun dodged very quickly, and easily dodged the young man who pounced, she sensitively drilled behind Shen Ruyu, only showing half of her head at Shen Ruyu's shoulder, and looked at him innocently. "That's what I'll say."

"Good," Shen Ruyu beckoned to Mingxi with a smile, and the angry young man walked over aggrievedly, "The boy is growing quickly, even now...... It's a little thin, but it will grow up soon, and when the time comes, um......" She took a closer look at Mingxi's facial features, and said uncertainly: "...... I should be able to grow into a heroic teenager...... ......."

“…… Is it because you can't boast of other words to say heroic? Mingxi tugged at Ruyu's sleeve with teary eyes, "I'm not happy at all to grow into a young man who can only be praised for his heroism!" He said sadly, "I, I want to look like a beauty like Sister Yu!" ”

"Want to grow like jade?" Hearing him say this, Wang Zijun poked his head out from behind Shen Ruyu, and smiled and flicked his head while Ming Xi was not paying attention, "'Xiao Ruyu' is behind you." ”

Wen Ming, who was standing quietly on the sidelines, was suddenly shot, he was slightly stunned, and saw Wang Zijun staring at Ming Xi for a while, and sighed leisurely, "Alas, but your appearance, if you can look half as good as him in the future, it will be good." ”

"Ahhh!!hhh Wang Zijun obviously poked Mingxi's sadness fiercely, and he pounced on him with a snort.

Shen Ruyu hurriedly dodged and withdrew from their battlefield, and reluctantly walked to Wen Ming's side. They stood aside and watched for a while, and Shen Ruyu couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "...... Zijun is still like a child. ”

Wen Ming pondered for a moment before slowly hooking the corners of his lips, "Zijun has always been so innocent, and Mingxi ...... It's like-minded. ”

"Two little children." Shen Ruyu commented with a smile, she seemed to interpret a potential other meaning from his words, so she glanced at him, "Mingxi...... It's like my own brother. ”

Wen Ming didn't answer. However, he didn't stay silent for long, and he couldn't help but speak, "My brother? - He and you are not related! ”

"Anyway, I just want you to know that he's not the tool I found to deliberately hurt you. You don't need to use him as a tool I use to hurt you. Shen Ruyu looked at him gently, "I hope you can enjoy the scenery along the way." That's it. ”

Wen Ming pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"So, is there anything you'd like to see?" Seeing that he was silent, Shen Ruyu sighed slightly, she tilted her head, trying to provoke his words, "Pastry shop? A ready-to-wear store? Or is it a winery? I heard the sailors on the ship say that when you arrive in Qizhou, you must not miss the fruit wine and sea bass here. ”

"Then," Wen Ming made a somewhat awkward request after a long while, "the wine shop...... bar. ”
