Xie Xianzhi resisted the urge to vomit, changed his sitting position, and tried to make himself more comfortable.

His attendant eldest girl, Jiang Pu, was uneasy with a small copper basin, ready to hand it over at any time, and also dragged a handkerchief in his hand, which was used to wipe his face.

Xie Mulin sat calmly on the side, and casually took out a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket: "Big brother, don't you really want to rub some medicinal oil?" This is what I asked Mr. Du for, and the effect of preventing dizziness is better. ”

Xie Xianzhi closed his eyes, frowned, and shook his head gently: "No...... I smell the smell of the medicated oil, but I'm afraid that it will be stronger if I don't wipe it. ”

When Xie Mulin heard this, he put the medicinal oil back on his sleeve, and took out a small blue porcelain bottle from the sleeve pocket of the other sleeve: "Or ...... How about you take some anti-motion sickness medicine? This is the recipe I copied from the ancient books I collected, and I showed it to Mr. Du, and confirmed that it can be used, so I specially asked Second Master Du to help make it, the taste is not unpleasant, you may feel better if you eat it. ”

Xie Xianzhi still closed his eyes: "I have already drunk the anti-motion sickness decoction in the morning, and if I take the pill again this time, I don't know if the medicinal properties will conflict." Even if you do want to eat, you have to wait until after lunch. ”

"But......" Xie Mulin glanced at him hesitantly, "Big brother, can you last until lunch?" ”

Xie Xianzhi showed a wry smile and did not speak.

Jiang Pu said with a worried face on the side: "The eldest young master used to sit in the car, and he never felt uncomfortable like this. The last time I went out of the city with my wife to go to incense, I sat in the carriage for more than an hour, but I was just a little dizzy and had a backache, and I rested in the quiet room in the temple for a long time, and it was fine, far from being as hard as it is now. ”

Xie Mulin snorted: "More than an hour is not a long time, not to mention, they were not in a hurry at that time, but if the eldest brother is a little unwell, the Cao family will also order someone to slow down the carriage, right?" Besides, the dignitaries and nobles will go to the big temple of incense, and the capital must be a relatively flat and easy to walk road, not like now, we go all the way to the dirt road in disrepair, after the flood, it has already been a mess, and because the Huzhou officialdom is affected by the situation in the capital, there are changes, no one can take care of the road repair for the time being, and now the road conditions are much worse than the roads in Huyin County, it is no wonder that the carriage will be reversed like this. "If it weren't for the enhanced shockproof function of the carriage, I'm afraid that my waist bones would be broken, unlike now, although Xie Xianzhi is uncomfortable, she and Jiang Pu are fine.

Jiang Pu lifted the corner of the cotton curtain of the car window, glanced out, and looked at the dilapidated road conditions, and couldn't help but worry. She has always worked in the inner house, and what she can see when she goes out is also a prosperous and densely populated area in the inner city of Jinling. Not to mention that the eldest young master Xie Xianyi has always been weak, and he can't stand it, even she, a healthy girl, feels a sore back.

This was only the first day after they switched to the overland route, and before half a day had passed, they were already like this, what would they do with the rest of the journey?

Xie Xianzhi endured a period of discomfort, and felt that the road conditions seemed to have improved slightly, not as bumpy as before, secretly relieved, and changed his sitting posture again, Fang opened his eyes and smiled: "It's okay, I haven't been in a carriage for such a long time, and I have encountered uneven roads, so it's just like this, just get used to it." Fortunately, the second sister has let people transform the carriage, I think this is not too bumpy, than when I went to the temple outside Jinling City to burn incense, the car went more smoothly, I didn't sit in the car for a long time, and I couldn't adapt to it for a while. Pour me some hot ginger tea, and I should feel a little better if I take two sips. ”

Jiang Pu hurriedly put down the copper basin, brought the handle copper teapot simmered in the charcoal basin in the corner of the carriage, took out a teacup from the storage cabinet on the side of the carriage, poured half a cup, and handed it to Xie Xianzhi.

Xie Xianzhi blew on the hot air, took a sip carefully, and let out a long breath. He felt as if he was feeling better.

He casually put the teacup on the folding table at hand, and the teacup was immediately sucked by several iron plates, and stayed firmly on it, not worrying that the cup would fall over because of the bumps in the carriage, just be careful about whether the tea in his heart would overflow.

Seeing this, Xie Xianzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "The second sister is really thoughtful, this is also what you specially prepared, right?" ”

Xie Mulin smiled and nodded. The folding coffee table was specially made by Zhou Dajiang, and the iron plate on the surface was also suggested by her, Zhou Dajiang chose the materials by himself, and ordered the carpenter to paste it. However, the magnet inlaid on the base of the teapot and cup is not her credit.

This set of special copper tea sets and tableware inlaid with magnets were all borrowed by her from her grandmother Song, the heir of the second room, and it is said that Song Saijiu was ordered in Beijing before his death, and it was specially used for travel. These utensils are a certain number of years old, but because they are well maintained, they are still clean and can be used at any time. Xie Zechuan used them on his travels with his wife Song during his lifetime. When Xie Mulin listened to the Song family talk about ancient times, he heard the other party mention it more than once. Now that she and Xie Xianzhi were in a hurry to go out, they didn't have time to make a new set by themselves, so they simply borrowed this set of old things from the Song family.

It couldn't be more practical.

Xie Xianzhi took the warm hand stove from Jiang Pu's hand and sighed: "I finally understand what it means to be good at home for a thousand days, and everything is difficult to go out." When I returned to Huyin from the capital, I walked all the way by water, the weather was good, the canal was stable, and my family and I lived on the boat, although I felt that there were many inconveniences, but I did not feel much bumpy and hard. Now I know that I was really lucky. No wonder my grandmother and her old man walked back to Huyin by land, and she was so sick on the way. I was not in a hurry, and it was so uncomfortable, not to mention that she was in a hurry all the way, and she encountered wind and rain, and was also robbed, and fell out with her mother's family......

"At that time, I still had some disrespectful thoughts in my heart, complaining that the old lady had listened to the nonsense of the third sister and scared herself sick? I tossed myself all the way. As long as her old man understood better, she would not almost lose her life. Now I know that it's no wonder the old lady. These hundreds of miles are extremely hard. The old lady has encountered so many twists and turns, and being able to reach the old mansion in Huyin safely is already a benefit of her health. ”

Calamus nodded in agreement. Xie Mulin secretly said in his heart: No, the old lady just asked for herself. At that time, the weather was not cold, and even if there was wind and rain, as long as you found a place to avoid it, it would be fine. As for not looking for a familiar and reliable car dealer to hire a car, and looking for a strange driver, he was too picky and mean to annoy the other party, and after the property was stolen, he fell out with his mother's family...... And so on, it's even more of Mrs. Xie's own sin. She has always been brain-replenishing that the eldest princess of Yongning will hunt her down, scaring her guts, and she is not honest when she is recuperating in the old house...... How can it all be blamed on the uneven road?

Xie Mulin himself poured himself half a cup of ginger tea and drank it, and then said: "I see that it is not early, and in less than an hour, it will be time for lunch." Listening to the shopkeeper Mao, he will not meet the post station or foot shop before dark, so he can only bury the pot on the side of the road to make rice. However, I also made some preparations in advance, and I was able to make a simple lunch. I know that the eldest brother is not feeling well, but when he goes out, he can't be as casual as when he is at home, so you have to eat a little bit of this meal anyway, otherwise it will be cold, hungry and motion sick in the afternoon, and the taste will be even more uncomfortable. After eating, you walk around, breathe in the fresh air, then take the pills, get in the car and go straight to sleep. If you can fall asleep, you will be able to survive the next half of the day. ”

Xie Xianzhi's face was blank and nodded helplessly.
