"In the past, I always felt that you were going to run outside the palace, because you were separated from me, and at that time I thought, how ruthless and cold you should be, you are willing to leave me."

Liang Chu glanced at the scenery outside, then turned around and hugged the person beside him in his arms, and said warmly: "Now that I come out with you, I can see the great rivers and mountains that have attracted you, which can be regarded as happy." ”

"You don't have any pursuits, it's like I've mistreated you." Mu Ling glanced at him speechlessly, then changed the subject, "Where are we going first?" ”

"Let's go to the waterfront pier, let's take a boat to have a look."

Today, the canal has been fully renovated, but it has not yet been put into use.

First, the big ship needs to be built by the government, although there have been many over the years, but in the end it is necessary to use it for the imperial court itself, and it is impossible for ordinary rich and noble families to get it.

If you use your own pleasure boat, you can barely sail on the calm section of the canal, but if you encounter some bad weather or turbulent river sections, the delicate cruise ship is afraid that it will only be overturned.

Although there are already cruise ships in some places, they never dare to sail far.

As the starting point of this canal, the waterfront wharf is naturally the place that the imperial court pays the most attention to, and it has been authorized by the imperial court to the imperial merchants to start consigning goods.

As for the ships carrying passengers, I am afraid that it will take some time for them to be officially put into operation.

This time, Liang Chu was naturally able to take the ship in the past, so he always didn't have to worry.

Now that the wharf had been repaired, there was a large and spacious room, and a large platform was made of a mixture of hard stone and lime on the river, which could accommodate more than a dozen carriages side by side.

The repair of such a large platform is just to avoid crowding, so that goods and tourists can have a place to stay.

Now it seems that although the project is a little troublesome, the effect is very good.

There is a three-story boat parked next to the pier, made of iron-clad wood, which is extremely sturdy. The light green curtains are hung on the outside as decoration, which also looks fresh and elegant.

Mu Ling stood on the edge of the dock, looking at the clear water of the river surging in front of him, and there seemed to be small fish and shrimp swimming in it, and he couldn't help but think about what the situation was in the middle.

"It's ready, let's go up and have a look!" Liang Chu stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders and reminded softly.

Mu Ling took a deep breath of pleasure and followed him to the boat.

The sailors and the sailors were already waiting for the ship, and their carriages were pulled up and placed in the cabin below, and they were about to put away the pedals and drop anchor and leave, when suddenly they heard an urgent shout: "Wait a minute! Wait—"

Although there are no passenger ships running between the terminals, there are actually many cargo ships coming and going. And it is faster to take the water route than the land route, and if you meet a tailwind, it will be really smooth sailing along the way. On weekdays, there are many people who will rub the cargo ship, and they will give some silver, and there are not many people, and the host is also willing.

Now the person who was shouting, Mu Ling glanced over and saw that it was a maid, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously, and called the sailor sideways: "Wait a minute." ”

"Madame, these people are here to rub the boat. In a quarter of an hour a cargo ship will come here, and there is no need to disturb Madame. The sailor explained respectfully.

Mu Ling shook his head and smiled: "Let's ask first, maybe people are in a hurry?" ”

When you go out, how convenient it is for one person to meet one more friend, why not?

And he had already seen that there were two people walking slowly behind the maid, both of them had a good temperament, the man was holding the woman, the woman was a little pale, with a big belly, walking very slowly.

It turned out to be a pregnant woman.

Mu Ling subconsciously frowned, he had such a big belly, if he was running around in a carriage, he would definitely not be able to stand it. But the shaking of this ship is also unbearable for many people, and it may be more fatal than the carriage.

Thinking like this, Mu Ling lifted her skirt and got off the boat, the couple happened to walk in front of her, the man looked up, and smiled politely: "Madam, I am a person from Jiangkou, dare to ask Madame if this boat is going to Jiangkou?" ”

"No, no."

"Oh...... Hehe, that's right. The man's face was a little embarrassed, "Uchiko is pregnant with Rokka, and her body is getting heavier and heavier." I didn't want her to go back at this time, but my mother-in-law was critically ill, if I couldn't fulfill my filial piety in front of me at this time, Neiko was uneasy all day, and she was haggard in just a few days. ”

After speaking, the man bowed down and made a gesture, and his behavior was all in a measured manner.

Mu Ling's eyes were dark, and he glanced at the woman, and saw that her face showed shame and sadness, and her eyebrows were full of entanglements between the two parties, so she knew that this was a woman who taught a lesson.

The inability of children to fulfill their filial piety in front of them is really regrettable. And if you can't go back when your parents are dying, I'm afraid you won't be able to see them for the rest of your life.

She could understand what the woman was saying, but the woman's condition was also really worrying: "Have you ever been on a boat before?" ”

"Never." The woman shook her head, her voice soft and sad.

"It's not going to be easy." Mu Ling tightened his eyebrows, "The boat is shaking, and if the boat reaches the middle of the river, it will not be able to turn back for a while if something goes wrong." Now it's just a smooth section of the river, and if it gets to the time when the river is turbulent, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable, not to mention your current situation. ”

Even today's luxury cruise ships are inevitably bumpy on such a river, and this ship built in ancient times is even more powerful.

"This ......" The woman was really embarrassed, but there was still a hint of determination between her eyebrows, "No matter what, you still have to try first." My mother is thousands of miles away, and if I am not there, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life......"

The woman's voice was slightly choked, and it could be seen that it was sincere.

The man on the side showed an eager look: "Madam, if you don't think about it again...... In the end, it's your body that matters......"

"I ...... You know that my mother treats me like a mountain, and I owe you this life, so I can only pay it back for the rest of my life. But if you still owe your mother at this time, you can't pay it back, no matter what, you always have to fight for a peace of mind? The woman looked back a little sadly, and her voice was screaming.

She didn't mean to embarrass her man on purpose, but she was also embarrassed herself.
