Tong Xue is busy here, and Xu Wenyuan and they are already on the road.
The boat was still found by Su Heng, although Su Heng was also very reluctant in his heart, but he still didn't say anything in the end, and silently helped to prepare for the trip. Because of this incident, Xu Wenyuan had a higher evaluation of Su Heng in his heart.
Xu Wenyuan handed over the affairs of the family clearly within a month, for example, the house was agreed with Li Zheng, and the chili pepper was also mentioned to Li Zheng by the way, leaving a bag of seeds, hoping that Li Zheng would help promote this thing, and it was very likely that he would take the villagers to make a fortune.
After that, I also went to Aunt Liu's house to visit, and asked Aunt Liu to help take care of the family's land, of course, Aunt Liu didn't need to do anything, just help rent it out, and then help collect the rent.
When leaving, Xu Wenyuan also left a bag of chili seeds for Aunt Liu, which was bigger than the one given to Lizheng, and told Aunt Liu that after the chili peppers were ripe, they could be sold to the shopkeeper Wang.
The rest of the time, Xu Wenyuan and his younger siblings were at home to pack up their things, find out what they could use, and see if it was inconvenient to take away or give away what was inconvenient, and they were very busy.
At the beginning, the Xu family was poor, and there was really nothing at home, but now when I cleaned up, I found that in the past year, everyone has a lot more, some are clothes, some are accessories, some are toys and books, and everyone always packs it up to fill the originally prepared cages and is not enough.
Especially Xu Wan looked at her things with some distress, this year, Tong Xue has bought clothes and jewelry for her from time to time in the name of saving her dowry, and there are some miscellaneous things, when they are loaded, there is actually a cage, only half.
But looking at these clothes, Xu Wan can even remember when and why Tong Xue gave her them, even if they are worn, think about it now. They all felt that it was of extraordinary significance, and they wanted to stay in each piece, so they could only add a few more cages in the end.
The group got on the boat with a lot of luggage, and Xu Wan was the last to go. Looking at Su Heng's gaze, he was a little reluctant, and wanted to say something considerate to Su Heng, but there were people coming and going on the dock, Xu Wan didn't say anything in the end, and walked on the boat step by step.
The first four members of the family were on board for the first time. It feels extraordinarily fresh, and for a few people who have never been out of the county, this is definitely not just a trip, but an adventure.
Xu Wenzhao was the happiest, just like a happy bird, finally out of the cage, extremely happy, ran to the edge of the boat for a while, stared at the water, and then shouted happily at the fish in the water. "Second brother, sister, look, there are fish in the water, but they are much bigger than the first ones in the river over there."
Hearing Xu Wenzhao's shout, how could Xu Jing, who had always been with him, still be able to hold back, and was about to run in the direction of Xu Wenzhao with his short legs, but he was stopped by Xu Wenyuan after taking two steps, Xu Wenyuan pulled Xu Jing, "It's dangerous over there." Come and take you there. ”
Xu Wan on the other side was also startled when she looked at the scene in front of her, for fear that Xu Wenzhao would fall down, and half of her body would lean out, isn't it worrying. Xu Wan immediately shouted, "Wen Zhao, when you come back, don't stand on the side, be careful of falling." ”
Xu Wenzhao actually heard Xu Wan's voice, but he didn't want to go back in his heart. He has never been on a boat since he was so old, and now that he is on the rise, how could he be willing to go back to the cramped barnhouse.
Xu Wenyuan, who dragged Xu Jing to Xu Wenzhao's side, knew best where Xu Wenzhao's death hole was, and he didn't go over to pull Xu Wenzhao but said, "Wenzhao, you went to Yuzhou, but the eldest brother is going to test your homework, you are so disobedient, when the time comes, we will sue the eldest brother and let him take the school exam more strictly." ”
Xu Wenda's seriousness in the school examination homework, others don't know, but Xu Wenzhao, who has been taught by Xu Wenda, couldn't be clearer, so as soon as he heard Xu Wenyuan's words, he immediately wilted, although his eyes still kept looking at the river, but in the end, he retracted obediently and did not stand on the edge anymore.
Xu Wan also took advantage of this time to quickly run over and grab Xu Wenzhao, Xu Wenzhao was there just now, but it scared her, she didn't look at people for a while, let Xu Wenzhao play by himself for a while, and then ran to the edge of the boat by himself.
The four brothers and sisters of the Xu family are actually interested in this scenery, there is a river in Qingshan Village, originally they all thought that the river was already very wide, but it could not be compared with the Grand Canal.
Xu Wenyuan looked at the scenery that kept regressing, and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, no wonder the book said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. When I came out, I realized that no matter how well those travelogues were written, even if they were written in such detail by his eldest brother, they were not as shocking as what I saw.
The freshness of children comes and goes quickly, Xu Wenzhao still maintained the exploration of the ship in the first five days**, he wants to see everywhere, and hopes to look at the scenery outside from any angle.
But five days later, after exploring all the places he could explore, Xu Wenzhao began to get bored, and the scenery outside was seen more, and he found that it was nothing more than that, both sides were basically mountains or fertile hills, although he was unwilling to have exactly two scenery, but in the eyes of Xu Wenzhao, who had seen such scenery for five days, these scenery became no different, exactly the same as what he saw a few days ago.
And the ship that Xu Wenzhao is very interested in, although this ship is already considered luxurious, and there are many cabins on it, but for Xu Wenzhao, this place is still too small, and Xu Wan also specially instructed that other people's cabins cannot enter, and can only stroll in the public area, so that the place is smaller, and when he sees anything on this ship, Xu Wenzhao can face it calmly.
So Xu Wenzhao couldn't sit still and began to get bored, "Second brother, how long will it take for us to arrive." ”
In fact, not only Xu Wenzhao, but also the other three people, but as the eldest second brother here, Xu Wenyuan, didn't show anything, looking at the scenery outside the cabin, he still looked interested.
By the way, he also pointed out Xu Wenzhao, "Wenzhao, if you are really bored, just read the book, I have a separate cage for your books, and it is very convenient to take it out, so as not to know when the eldest brother takes the school examination for you, you don't know anything." ”
Sure enough, when the bear child was talking about learning. Immediately coaxed, Xu Wenzhao asked cautiously, "I am the best in the school, and the eldest brother's examination school should be able to pass guò." ”
Xu Wenyuan raised his eyebrows. There was a bit of banter in his voice, "What do you think?" ”
Looking at Xu Wenyuan's expression, Xu Wenzhao wailed, silently rummaged through his cage, and found a book to read.
looked at Xu Wenzhao and was honest. The corners of Xu Wenyuan's mouth hooked slightly, and he was so happy in his heart. But he is also a little lucky, fortunately, he has already told his eldest brother that he doesn't want to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise it would probably be the two brothers who are studying together and waiting for the eldest brother's assessment.
The days on the ship are very boring, not only the scenery is boring, but even the food is relatively simple, on the boat they are directly caught from the water and directly processed on the boat to eat.
In the beginning, I was able to eat different kinds of seafood. The four brothers and sisters of the Xu family are still happy, after all, these things are really not common in Qingshan Village, there are fish in Qingshan Village, but there are few species, as for others, such as shellfish, these are even rarer, and most people don't eat this.
But on this ship, I tasted a lot of fresh tastes.
But this thing is very good to taste fresh, but it is not good to let brothers and sisters eat it every day. After ten days, several people heard that they were eating fish, and their faces were green. I think it's a good thing on weekdays, but once I eat too much. No one can bear it.
Although it is more leisurely on the boat, under various conditions, when it comes to getting off the boat, everyone is a few pounds lighter, mainly because they are not suitable for living on the water.
As soon as they got off the boat, several people saw a familiar figure.
In fact, the main reason is that Xu Wenyuan is too impressed. After a distance, I saw Zhou Qinlan.
Xu Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to see this person here, Zhou Qinlan obviously saw Xu Wenyuan too, so he walked over and said hello very politely, "Master Xu, Miss Xu hasn't seen you for a long time." ”
Zhou Qinlan will come over, mainly because she feels that the two have cooperated, and she has a harmonious relationship with Tong Xue now, so naturally it is not good to see it as if she didn't see it, so she came over.
But for Xu Wenyuan, he still remembered Zhou Qinlan's expression when the maid threw the silver to him, he didn't expect Zhou Qinlan to be so friendly, Xu Wenyuan frowned, he didn't figure out what was going on in front of him, but the corner of his eye swept behind Zhou Qinlan, and found that it was not the maid from last time.
Before Xu Wenyuan could open his mouth, Xu Wan said in amazement, "You are the young lady who came to our house to buy snacks before, aren't you?" I remember you. But it wasn't this maid who came to my house last time. ”
Zhou Qinlan smiled, "I didn't expect Miss Xu to remember her, when she reached her age, she was released to get married." A few days ago, I heard Mrs. Xu say that you are coming, but Mrs. Xu has been preparing for a long time, but I have been here for a while, and I haven't seen Mrs. Xu, did you not tell Mrs. Xu that you are here today? ”
"Does Miss know my sister-in-law? Sounds familiar. Xu Wan glanced at Zhou Qinlan suspiciously, and then said, "We wrote the date." ”
After a while, he counted with his fingers and patted his head, "Oh, it seems that our letter says tomorrow." ”
Zhou Qinlan exhaled and said, "It's okay, I'm here today to pick up my nurse, and when I get her, I'll send you to the Zhizhou Mansion." ”
While Zhou Qinlan was talking, an old lady dressed up a little noble walked over to this side, and the clothes she was wearing looked like good material, and then when she looked at Zhou Qinlan, her eyes were a little moist, "Lan'er, you have suffered, I came this time, I will accompany you here, we will not leave." ”
Xu Wan listened to Zhou Qinlan's nurse's words, and was a little puzzled, wanting to know what was going on, but because the two were not so familiar, she was still embarrassed to ask in the end.
And Xu Wenyuan looked at Zhou Qinlan with scrutiny, even if Zhou Qinlan changed her maid, Xu Wenyuan still didn't have a very good impression of Zhou Qinlan.
Zhou Qinlan's eyes were a little sour when she saw the nurse who was close to her, but considering that this was outside, she still successfully restrained her feelings, pulled the nurse, and then glanced in the direction of Xu Wenyuan, "If you don't mind, let me give you a ride." The governor is easy to inquire about, and it is easy to go, but you are carrying so much luggage, I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience, and my carriage is in front of you, and I can send you back. ”
When it came to her eldest brother's territory, Xu Wan was not worried that this Zhou Qinlan would be unfavorable to them, and when she heard Zhou Qinlan's suggestion, she was a little moved, after all, there were really too many of these things, Xu Wan really couldn't bear to watch her second brother dragging so many things, but she didn't dare to agree rashly, so she could only keep aiming at Xu Wenyuan's direction.
Xu Wenyuan actually didn't want to take this eldest lady's car, but Zhou Qinlan said that it did make sense, and when he was struggling, he saw Lu Wang who was looking at the dock, Xu Wenyuan immediately rejected Zhou Qinlan's kindness and walked towards Lu Wang.
Looking at Xu Wenyuan's back, Zhou Qinlan's nurse Zhou Nanniang snorted, "This person really doesn't know how to lift." ”
Zhou Qinlan felt a little confused about Xu Wenyuan's inexplicable resistance, and couldn't think of when she had sinned against him, but maybe people just felt that men and women were not intimate, and it was too much for Meng Lang to ride in the same carriage, if you say so, you are a self-contained gentleman.
Looking at the indignant nurse, Zhou Qinlan smiled, "The housekeeper came, so naturally he followed Steward Lu, and it was normal not to go with us, nurse, you think too much." ”
Seeing Lu Wang appear, Xu Wan was very happy, because she wrote the letter, so she wrote the wrong date, she was a little depressed just now, but she didn't expect to see Lu Wang.
Xu Wan said with a smile, "Lu Wang, how did you know that we would come today." ”
Lu Wang said humbly, "How can I know this kind of thing, and I can't pinch it." It was Mrs. who explained, saying that it was the past few days that you came to Yuzhou, because the road was far away, and the time to come here may be a little off, so since the day before yesterday, Mrs. asked me to **** to come to the dock to see. ”
Xu Wenyuan listened to Lu Wang's explanation and smiled, "It's still sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, let's go, let's go home first." ”
So the group went back in a big way.
Walking into the courtyard, Xu Wenzhao began to sigh, "Is this the new home, it's really big!" (To be continued.) )
