Sea vessels are indeed more stable than inland waterway vessels.

This is the biggest feeling that Wen Yi had in her heart three days after leaving Guihai City. Because under the premise of getting bigger and bigger at sea, Wen Xian surprisingly did not get seasick. Old Madam Yu specially explained that the seasickness medicine prepared by the Jiang family in advance did not come in handy at all, but was given to Mrs. Luo's two daughters, so that Luo Mingfang and Luo Mingfei's little sisters no longer suffered from seasickness, and greatly improved their friendship with Mrs. Luo. After the group spent six days on the sea boat, Mrs. Yu and Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became very familiar with Mrs. Luo Si, and even began to call her maiden name "Jiarou" in private.

Mrs. Luo's real surname is Xu, and her maiden name is Jiarou. After Wen Yi learned her maiden name, she carefully recalled the big family she knew in Pingyin, and found that there was indeed a family surnamed Xu, who lived in Sanyuanzhuang, north of Pingyin County, and the members of the family were two sons with their respective families to live together to support their mothers, and two older daughters had already married. But this family had almost no contact with the Nie family before this year, but it could still have some relationship with the Qin family, as if the young master of the Qin family was studying in the same county as the son of the Xu family, until the Nie family came out in the matter of relieving the poor, and the prestige in the Pingyin area rose sharply, and the Xu family began to come to the door. Wen Yi vaguely remembered that Jun Minxing, the eldest cousin's friend who had sent a letter to Gu Zhuang for him, seemed to have some relationship with the Xu family, but she couldn't remember exactly what the relationship was, she only remembered in a trance that when the eldest cousin married, a wife of the Xu family seemed to have brought her children over to eat and drink, and her aunt also mentioned his family when she was watching her cousin, but there was no follow-up.

Mrs. Luo's mother's family has such a relationship with the Nie family, and Wen Yi feels closer to her, so she often accompanies her mother and daughter.

Life on a ship is quite boring, and even if the ship is large, there are only a few places to move. Wen Yi had long been tired of laughing and fawning with the old lady and the Jiang family, and since hearing their secret conversation, this boredom had deepened. And Wen An nested in his cabin every day to tinker with a new scar removal drug, almost staying at home, and even eating in the cabin. Wen Hui and Wen Juan are about to quarrel when they meet, there is originally a Wen Xian who can talk and play chess, but she and Wen Juan sisters are inseparable from the scales, and they have to work hard for the conflict between Wen Hui and Wen Juan at any time. Wen Yi was impatient to persuade their sisters to make peace, and she didn't like to be used by them as a tool to fight for leisure, so she simply hid in Mrs. Luo Si, talking, eating snacks, doing some needlework, and then playing with Ming Fang and Ming Fei, which was very relaxed and leisurely.

There are many kinds of games they play, elegant pairs, charades, Sven's quieter turning flower rope, nine links, tangrams, Huarong Dao, Kong Ming lock, and the more dynamic ones are kicking shuttlecocks, whip spinning tops, bamboo dragonflies, etc., Ming Fei also shouted that the boat is too boring, and when Daddy comes back next spring, he will ask Daddy to take their sisters outside the city to put paper kites.

Mr. and Mrs. Luo Si do not seem to force chastity, elegance and dignity, but encourage them to move more in order to be healthy, and Mrs. Luo Si teaches her daughter to read every day, so their sisters are quite a bit of a double cultivation of civil and military. Wen Yi played with them in one place, but learned many games that she had never seen before, and after two or three days, she sweated more than when she was inspecting the fields on the Zhuangzi before, but she also laughed more.

At this time, she realized that when she was a child, she missed many children's games, and after being reborn, she also worried about family affairs all the time, and there was no time to relax and play. She was just a little embarrassed, she was obviously about to make a trip, and she had even booked her family, but she was still acting like a little girl, acting too rudely.

Mrs. Luo Si kept smiling at her and watched her play with her two daughters, without any signs of laughing at her, but also carefully prepared a change of clothes and refreshments for her, and helped her cover up in front of others, saving her parents from blaming her. Wen Yi was grateful, and she was even more dedicated to Mingfang and Mingfei, and when she had nothing to do at night, she took out the materials she had obtained in Qingzhou from her luggage, and made a New Year shirt for each of the little sisters.

Such comfortable and peaceful days did not last long. After the ship passed through the city of Thailand, it marched to the northern sea, at this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, the sky had begun to fall with snowflakes, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, like a knife, blowing people's faces painfully. Gu Luo's two families can not leave the cabin, they no longer go out of the cabin, only the rough family and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and little girl are responsible for it, so they can only run around the boat hard.

Seagoing vessels were supposed to travel along the shore, but as the ice floes on the sea surface increased, the boatmen had to steer the boats away from the near-shore waters so as not to be hindered by the ice floes. Even so, the itinerary of the ship was greatly reduced, and after the people at the bottom reported it, Mrs. Luo Si personally went to explain to the old lady and the Jiang family, saying that the situation would not be too serious, at most the schedule would be slightly delayed, but the boat would not be blocked in the middle of the road. If the current water route is followed, there will be about two or three days to reach Dongping Mansion.

Seeing this, the Gu family couldn't say anything, after all, this kind of thing was not within the reach of manpower, and the Luo family's ship was much better than what they had originally arranged, and these days, all kinds of daily supplies were also very thoughtful, and the servants who waited were very well-behaved, and they didn't have to spend money on the Gu family, but they arrived in Beijing a few days later than expected, how could they complain? Naturally, it was polite to forget it, and Mrs. Yu also comforted Mrs. Luo Si in turn, so that she didn't have to worry about the bad weather, and asked Wen Yi to accompany her more to relieve her boredom.

Wen Yi responded, and after sending Mrs. Luo Si back to the room, she said a few words of comfort.

Mrs. Luo Si smiled faintly and said, "Actually...... It's true that I didn't think it through. In this kind of weather, it is common for there to be ice floes in the northern seas, and it is precisely because of this that there are so few ships going north by sea at this time. But because I was not in good health and didn't want to go by land, I reluctantly switched to taking a boat. I'm the one who has caused you trouble. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Why did Aunt Luo say this? We had planned to take the waterway early in the morning, if you were not willing to let us go with us, we would have to find another suitable boat, then the trip would be even slower The eldest aunt and grandmother are old, and the eldest aunt is not very healthy, if we change to the land route, they will not be able to bear it, how can we say that you have dragged us down? Don't say that, at this time of year, it's more comfortable to take the water route, and take the land route...... I'm afraid that even the bones are going to fall apart and it's cold. ”

Mrs. Luo Si also smiled when she heard this: "This is also reasonable, I am most afraid of taking the land route, and one day when the carriage sits down, even if I am not sick, I will have some symptoms." After a pause, a little gloomy, "But in the winter, it is indeed faster to go north by land." Ming Min is now going far away, also going north, if he has to hurry up, he will go with us, but he is afraid that the boat will go slowly, so he will ride a horse. ”

Wen Yi's heart moved: "Brother Luo...... Also going north? I don't know where to go? "Luo Mingmin should be walking with Liu Dongxing, right? Will it be back to the capital? She was a little excited in her heart.

Mrs. Luo Si said: "It seems that he is going to Beihua Mountain, but he is in a hurry and he doesn't make it clear." It's a pity, if it's summer, it's easier to take the water route than the land route, so he might go with us and wait until Dongping Mansion to part ways with us. ”

Beihua Mountain is located in the northwest direction of the capital, a radius of 500 miles, from Dongping past, it takes about three or four days to reach its eastern foothills. Wen Yi recalled in her heart the memories of Beihua Mountain in her previous life, and was slightly disappointed. If it weren't for the fact that there was ice floe on the sea, which delayed the schedule of the big ship, she might have been able to meet Liu Dongxing in Dongping Mansion, but there was no hope at the moment. Since they are going to rush to Beihua Mountain by land, most of them will not pass through Dongping Mansion on the way.

Wen Yi secretly sighed in her heart, and then pulled the topic away: "Ming Fei seems to be pestering Mingfang to do something, a room full of girls and mothers-in-law is very lively, why don't you go and see with me?" ”

Mrs. Luo Si thought of her daughter, and her face showed joy: "Don't look at it, I also know what's wrong." The spring clothes you are making for them, they like it, and they say to me, you have to learn tailoring, you really laugh at me, what do they know at this age? I'm afraid I can't even cut the pieces of material. If they liked it, I went with them. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "I didn't know that the two younger sisters were so ambitious, this is a good thing, I see that they learn needlework with their grandmothers on weekdays, and they also have a look, maybe they are really talented, Aunt Luo went with me to have a look, praised them, and added some interest to them, which is also good."

Mrs. Luo Si smiled and followed, and sure enough, she saw the two little daughters, one holding a piece of silk and the other holding a pair of scissors, wanting to cut the material, she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly scolded the girls who were laughing on the side: "Why don't you take the scissors away?" I'm not afraid of hurting the young ladies" The girls saw that the hostess was coming, and they were so frightened that they laughed, bowed their heads and didn't dare to say anything. The big girl who knew the opportunity quickly took the scissors from Ming Fei's hand.

Wen Yi stepped forward and asked, "What are the two sisters doing?" Even if you really want to cut clothes, you don't have to do it yourself, just tell the girls how to cut it, if you accidentally cut your hands, wouldn't it make the fourth aunt feel distressed? ”

Ming Fei shrunk her neck, glanced at her mother timidly, and hurriedly lowered her head. Seeing that her mother was angry and worried that her sister would be punished, Ming Fang hurriedly said: "It was my daughter who discussed with my sister to make a dress for her grandmother." Her old man's birthday is approaching, and we, as granddaughters, want to show filial piety, not intentionally to worry our mother. ”

Ming Fei also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I told my sister that every stitch in this dress has to be made by our sisters, and we can't ask others to help."

Mrs. Luo Si's expression softened a little, but she still kept a straight face: "I know you have filial piety, but you also have to see how old you are, when did you two do such a thing?" Can the scissors be moved by a child like you? The people who didn't let people help wait were also confused, and they actually watched you two sisters waving around with scissors......" The girls all showed horror when they heard this.

Ming Fei hurriedly hugged her mother, pulled her sleeve and said coquettishly: "We don't dare anymore, mother spare them" Ming Fang also said: "It's our fault that we insist on messing around and not listening to the persuasion of our sisters." He begged Wen Yi again: "Ask Sister Nine to help persuade my mother to say a few words."

Wen Yi said to Mrs. Luo Si: "Actually, they are also well-intentioned, why did the fourth aunt cool their hearts?" Besides, when they also use scissors for needlework on weekdays, they don't cut their hands recklessly. ”

Mrs. Luo Si sighed and glared at her two daughters: "Since your ninth sister helped you intercede, I will spare you once, and make a note for the time being, and you are not allowed to make that dress next time, you just ask the girls to cut it and sew it with your own hands, it is the same."

Ming Fang and Ming Fei nodded their heads in unison, and Mrs. Luo Si lost her breath and left.

Wen Yi accompanied her back to the cabin, and when she saw that she still had anger on her face, she persuaded her: "My sisters are filial piety, so don't be angry." ”

Mrs. Luo Si sighed: "How can I be angry that they are filial to their grandmother? I just think that they are only seven years old and they are making trouble cutting clothes by themselves, which is too bold, and they are all indulgent to the master" paused, and a smile appeared on his face again: "But they will have this idea, and it is also because you have made a good example The two clothes you made are exquisite and beautiful, and they don't cost much, all by good work on needlework and thread, they look at the hot eyes, and these days there is a lot of noise to teach them how to be a female red."

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "My sisters are filial to their elders and eager to learn and progress, how can they say that it is because of me?" This is all taught well by Fourth Uncle Luo and Fourth Aunt."

Mrs. Luo Si took her hand and smiled, looked at Wen Yi, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and suddenly a thought suddenly occurred in her heart: "Yi girl, I simply recognized you as my goddaughter, right?" It's rare for us to fall in love like this, you are my daughter, and Mingfang and Mingfei can also have many good sisters. Would you like to? ”

Wen Yi was taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt happy again, and hurriedly said: "Some mothers don't dislike it, and their daughters are naturally willing."

Mrs. Luo Si was immediately so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and hurriedly helped her up: "Don't be busy with these vulgar rituals, when you return to Beijing, let's set up a table of wine in earnest, and invite a few distinguished guests to testify, and it will not be too late for you to bow again." ”

Wen Yi knows that it is very common for the daughters of rich and noble families to recognize a goddaughter, but it is just a shouting when they come and go on weekdays, and if they really encounter a big event, no matter how many goddaughters they have, it will not work. She was already close to Mrs. Luo Si, so she was willing to recognize this godmother in her heart, but she didn't expect the other party to be so solemn, so she hesitated a little: "This is ...... Wouldn't it be too much trouble? ”

"What's the trouble with this?" Mrs. Luo Si glanced at her with disgust, "If I want to recognize my goddaughter, I naturally have to follow the rules." Although our Luo family is not as eunuch as the Gu family, it is also a family that respects the rules, so we can't make people laugh."

When she said this, Wen Yi didn't have a lot of words, so she had to report the matter to Old Madam Yu and the Jiang family later, so as not to have thoughts in their hearts.

Old Madam Yu frowned and didn't say anything, but Jiang Shi was a little unhappy: "What do you think she is doing as a godmother?" I'm planning to marry the Luo family, and I recognize my godfather, and when you sisters meet in the future, what do you call it? ”

Wen Yi's eyes widened, do you want to be a parent? What's going on?

Old Madam Yu glanced at her daughter-in-law, stopped what she was about to say, and smiled at Wen Yi: "Maybe Mrs. Luo is just joking." There are many inconveniences on the ship, and I will talk about it when I get to Dongping Mansion. ”

Wen Hui also interjected on the side: "Isn't it? Although we are going north on the Luo family's boat, they are going to rush into Beijing, and we will stay in Dongping for two days. ”

Wen Yi's heart was suddenly shocked and her eyes narrowed.

(I'm really afraid of what to come ~~~ ask for a pink ticket~~~)
