Chapter 282: Arriving in the capital
Huo Xiangjun and Qianqiu immediately stood up, approached Xie Qingyu, rubbed their eyes that were not yet awake, and looked at them intently.
Xie Qingyu is actually not very good at fishing, she knows that the fish can't be too hard after being hooked, otherwise the fish will run away, but at the moment, the fish is also churning hard, more like trying to escape.
"Now relax your hands."
"Don't worry."
"Now, pull back."
……
At this time, the boatman also hurriedly started to help Xie Qingyu pull the fishing line, after such a long time, the fish seemed to be tired, and the boatman quickly pulled the fish up.
"Wow! There really are fish! Rumor that you're too powerful. Huo Xiangjun watched a large fish flutter out of the water, and the whole person suddenly became excited, as if he had seen a fish for the first time.
"Girl, the fish you caught is really big, it looks like we're in for a good night." The boatman couldn't help but praise Xie Qingyu at this moment, it was obviously the first time to fish, and it was really a blessing to encounter such a big fish.
Xie Qingyu looked at the foot-long fish that kept fluttering on the deck, just looking very fat, she felt full of pride, and then commanded Qianqiu.
"Qianqiu, let's eat more fish tonight! Xiangjun, you might eat spicy? ”
"Rumor, you're going to cook it yourself? Isn't there still Sister Asaaki? Huo Xiangjun heard the meaning of Xie Qingyu, and looked at Qianqiu beside him again and asked suspiciously.
"It's been hard work in the past few days, so I'm going to show my cooking skills today." Xie Qingyu didn't think much about Huo Xiangjun's words, but just looked at Qianqiu, since they got on the boat, Qianqiu has been busy and worrying about big and small affairs.
"Light rumor, you treat the girl so well." Huo Xiangjun also had to sigh at the moment, although they hadn't been together for a long time, she also found that the relationship between Xie Qingyu and Qianqiu was really not like a master and servant, but a bit like sisters.
Xie Qingyu frowned slightly when he heard the word girl, but he didn't say anything, Huo Xiangjun didn't think so, although her parents died and the family declined, but the family is also a serious family of eight hundred, otherwise she would not be running for female officials, and under the influence of ancient solidified thinking, she must feel that the girl is to serve the master.
But Qianqiu is different, although she is her maid, she has long regarded her as a sister in her heart.
"Miss, why don't you let me come." Qianqiu looked at Huo Xiangjun and Xie Qingyu, and hurriedly asked herself to make fish.
"No, you can't do this, but I can teach you today, and if you want to eat it in the future, you can make it yourself." Xie Qingyu waved his hand slightly, and said to Qianqiu very naturally.
"I also want to learn light rumors, I also want to learn, and when I go to the capital in the future, I will definitely catch fish and eat it myself." At this time, Huo Xiangjun hurriedly followed the footsteps of the two and shouted.
But the narrow kitchen is not enough to accommodate the next three people, Xie Qingyu will run into the other two as soon as he turns around, and Qianqiu is fine, but Huo Xiangjun seems to be very curious about the kitchen in the Central Plains, and he has to take a look everywhere, and the whole kitchen is very noisy for a while.
After a while, Xie Qingyu finally planned to come alone this time, "driving" the two of them out of the kitchen, and played by himself.
Without Qianqiu and Huo Xiangjun adding chaos to the side, Xie Qingyu quickly prepared a dish, and in an instant, the fresh fragrance spread throughout the entire fishing boat.
"Rumor that your fish is really good, the fragrance is overflowing, I have never eaten such a fragrant meal when I was in Mobei before." Huo Xiangjun shouted through a thin wooden board at this moment.
"Right away, wait a minute." Xie Qingyu's subordinates did not stop, and shouted at Huo Xiangjun.
I don't know if it's because of the different regions, Huo Xiangjun's appetite is really much better than theirs, and Xie Qingyu even served more rice under his hands.
After another while, the meal finally came out of the pot, and Qianqiu and Huo Xiangjun hurriedly brought the dishes out.
Then a few people started eating, and this time Qianqiu put the boat's meal aside first, and a few of them began to eat.
Huo Xiangjun can almost be said to have never eaten fish, and Xie Qingyu is not particularly spicy, for a while, Huo Xiangjun ate a lot of fish, until the last Qianqiu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Huo Xiangjun still couldn't stop sighing.
"Light rumor, this fish is so delicious, it would be nice if you could eat it when you go to the capital."
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will do it for you." Xie Qingyu also smiled when he heard this, and they would definitely meet in the future.
After cleaning everything up, a few people went back to the room and fell asleep, last night Xie Qingyu can be said to be the river breeze that blew all night, although she didn't feel anything, but Qianqiu was afraid that she would get sick, so the two went back to the cabin.
It's just that Huo Xiangjun and Xie Qingyu slept on the bed, and Qianqiu Wu laid the floor for himself, although it was a little crowded, but it was also called a warm place.
"Light rumor, what kind of place do you say the Central Plains is, I have never been there."
"It's good to rumor that you have relatives in the capital, so it's a dependent."
"I don't know where the inside of the Huangyi Academy is."
……
After Huo Xiangjun got into bed, she chatted with Xie Qingyu, all of them were curious about the unknown journey, and after contact with them, she also knew that she would arrive in the capital in a few days, but her heart was nervous.
Xie Qingyu would have answered some of her questions at first, but she really couldn't answer the later ones about the capital, because she had never been there, and besides, she had done so many things today, her body had already felt tired, and her eyelids were unconsciously drowsy and fell asleep.
In the past two days, they have been following the original journey, without stopping at all, most of the way is to eat some pastries they brought before, Huo Xiangjun is still full of curiosity about everything around him, but they are all mountains, forests and rivers, and there is nothing to talk about later.
Several people finally arrived in Yanjing a day later, and Xie Qingyu woke up early in the morning, looking at the dazzling array of houses, the merchant ships coming and going were all very huge, ten times larger than their small ship, and every merchant ship seemed to be full of goods.
The whole wharf is very noisy, everywhere is full of people, although it is early in the morning, but most of the people are already awake, working around, not far from the wharf is the pedestrian street, the sound of selling is endless.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the early morning sunlight faintly sprinkles on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of poetry to the prosperous morning scene of Yanjing City in front of you.
"This is Yanjing?" At this moment, Huo Xiangjun also packed up his things and came out of the cabin, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
This is Yanjing, the capital of the entire Great Swallow? Although it is only a corner of the wharf, everyone already knows how prosperous Yanjing is, and even the small wharf is already so beautiful.
"Yes, girls, I've sent you this time." At this time, the boatman looked at the looks of several people who were quite yearning and spoke.
Then Xie Qingyu and the others got off the boat and walked towards the street.
Along the way, not only Huo Xiangjun looked left and right, Xie Qingyu was also very curious, she had never been here, and now it was the first time.
"Xiangjun, now that we have sent you to the capital, it is time for us to part ways." Xie Qingyu looked at Huo Xiangjun beside him at this time, and said lightly.
Now she really has to hurry up and go to her house, Xie Youran arrived so many days earlier than her, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat if I go.
"It is the greatest honor of Xiangjun to know you during this time, thank you this time!" Huo Xiangjun's eyes were already slightly red at this moment, and he couldn't help sobbing.
For a while, many people on the street looked sideways, and Xie Qingyu was also a little embarrassed, they had only known each other for a short time, and now it is indeed a little too much.
"Xiangjun, don't be like this, we will definitely meet again in the future." Xie Qingyu casually handed his handkerchief to Huo Xiangjun and comforted him.
"Are we really going to see each other again?" Huo Xiangjun seemed to be a little unconvinced, and asked again.
"Yes." Xie Qingyu nodded very seriously, and Huo Xiangjun's tears stopped.
"It's not too early, Xiangjun, you can go to Huangyi Academy from now on, I still have important things to do, so I'll leave first." Xie Qingyu finished asking the way, pointed out an approximate location to Huo Xiangjun, and then took out ten taels of silver from his waist and put it in Huo Xiangjun's arms, and then left with Qianqiu.
Huo Xiangjun watched the figures of the two of them get farther and farther away from her, and didn't stay long, turned around and walked in the direction of Huangyi Academy.
Huangyi Academy is the largest academy in the entire imperial city, women from non-family families are not allowed to enter, every three years the entire Dayan conducts a general election, the selected Miss Shijia is all from the most luxurious family in Dayan, Huangyi Academy is not only to teach women knowledge and etiquette, but also to fight again and again.
Although they are all female dependents, the talents in the Huangyi Academy can be said to be the best women in the entire Dayan, and if they are qualified, they can be promoted to female officials, and they are the beautiful women in the academy under the control of the queen of the dynasty.
All the women in the entire Dayan want to enter this academy, and there are even rumors that as long as they enter this academy, if they want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix one day, it is just around the corner.
Xie Qingyu didn't think about it so much, she was able to get the top of Jiangnan, completely out of an agreement with Nangong Chengyu, and the most important thing for her at the moment was to solve her mother's own poison.
Xie Qingyu and Qianqiu did not leave the dock, but rented a carriage nearby, both of them were here for the first time, and they didn't know the route of the capital at all.
"Go to Xie's house in the south of the city." Xie Qingyu only said a few words, and the coachman was very excited to let them get into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards Xie's house all the way.
After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the intersection of the Xie family's gate.
"The guest officer has arrived, this is the Xie Mansion you are looking for." The coachman gently called the people inside a few times, and said very courteously.
Xie Qingyu and Qianqiu immediately got out of the carriage and gave the silver to the coachman, and then the two turned around and walked towards the gate of the Xie family.
It's just that they just walked to the door, and the two of them were stunned, Xie Qingyu thought that Jiangning's Xie family was already luxurious enough, but the Xie Mansion in front of her really opened her eyes.
