After ten days on the ship, Satsuki felt that no matter how bitter she was, she couldn't compare to the bitterness and bitterness of seasickness.

The mode of transportation in this world is so backward, there is no place to bathe on the ship, there are various problems with mosquito bites, the smell of the cabin, etc. Although she also docked at several piers during the voyage, Satsuki didn't get off the boat to see the scenery because of her seasickness.

She was a little suspicious that she had crossed into this world to endure hardship, especially when she heard the other passengers talk about the fact that there was another overland route from Downe Town to the Imperial City, and she felt that she had made a bad decision at all.

During these days on the ship, she slept every day but did not remember whether she dreamed or not, but she could not remember her mother more and more, and occasionally remembered that ridiculous night when she looked at the river during the day. But all these thoughts flowed to the bottom of the river with the vomited filth.

Xiaolan's seasickness condition is a little better than hers, and she has been taking care of her carefully. After getting along for so long, Xiaolan has become accustomed to Xiao Yue, who has lost her memory, and the two have a good relationship, although Xiao Yue thinks differently from ordinary women, but in general she still takes good care of her, and she doesn't know if she can see her father again in this life, so she also relies on Xiao Yue as her only relative.

Seasickness is not the most terrible thing for Satsuki, but another terrible thing is that she finds that her body is beginning to change, to be precise, this body is undergoing the development of the second sex.

She thought that Satsuki's age should be the age at which women began to appear, but it was strange that only the breasts were changing, and the menarche had not come, and she didn't remember if Satsuki had met the eldest aunt before she crossed over, but she hadn't met her since she crossed over to this body.

In any case, the change in her breasts will cause a lot of unspeakable problems in her disguised as a man and cause a lot of trouble.

She had to make a bandeau and try to make her breasts as small as possible to make her look more like a man.

She didn't know what the Imperial City of Yingjun was like, but if she wanted to survive anywhere, it was more convenient for her to pretend to be a man as much as possible.

On the evening of the fifteenth day of the peaceful voyage, the people on the boat crowded to the bow of the boat to watch something, and Xiaoyue and Xiaolan also went over to join in the fun.

It turned out that the front of the bow of the ship was their destination, and the imperial city of Yingjun had finally arrived.

Xiao Yue thought that she finally didn't have to get seasick anymore, and Xiao Lan happily packed up their simple gift baggage, and the two got off the boat hand in hand.

Xiao Yue took Xiao Lan to find a noodle restaurant near the pier, bought two bowls of noodles for 2 copper plates, and asked the boss about the route of Lin Lane while eating noodles.

Having filled their stomachs, the two began to walk towards the city, and by this time it was already dark.

The city is like a city that never sleeps, there are lanterns at the door of every house, illuminating the streets, the merchants on the street are dazzling, compared with the town of Luodai, it is very different from the town of Luodai, the neatly carved bluestone strips pave the entire street, the main street feels like 10 people can be parallel, the shops on both sides of the road are all next to each other, Xiaolan excitedly pulled her around to watch.

Xiao Yue carefully looked at the bustling night scene and business of the city, although it was still far from the era in which Xiaomi lived, but it was indeed much better than the town of Luodai where she lived for a month, so the mood was also happy with the bright lights, and I don't know if there was still the sequelae of the boat ride or because of the colorful night, which made Xiao Yue feel that the whole person was floating.

Xiaolan suddenly found a particularly bright shop, and the lanterns at the door were not ordinary lanterns, but all kinds of lanterns, emitting colorful lights and being extremely bright. pulled Xiaoyue to get closer to watch, but there was a person standing at the door who looked like a nurse, looking at them fiercely, and scolded roughly: "Where did you come from, wild boy, is this also a place where you can break in?" An old woman next to her who was painted red and green like a singing opera came over and said to them with a smirk: "Good boy, do you like this place?" and then burst out into a disgusting laugh, driving the laughter of countless people around. Xiao Yue thought that something was wrong with this place, she looked up and saw that there was a gorgeous sign hanging at the door, but she didn't know how to read, many women with heavy makeup and bright makeup popped out of the upstairs window, and the people around them also looked at them with a bad smile, Xiao Yue quickly said, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place." Hurriedly pulled Xiaolan, and just wanted to get out of the crowd of onlookers, he listened to the nursing courtyard and said viciously: "At first glance, he is a poor boy, and he dares to come to our Piaoxiang Courtyard." ”

Xiao Yue pulled Xiao Lan and lowered her head and didn't explain, it is estimated that Xiao Lan has never seen this kind of place at all, but she knows that this must be the land of fireworks, and she can't stay for a long time. As soon as she looked up, she saw a tall man, who probably didn't have much strength herself, and the person who hit her didn't react, just looked down at her.

"Little ghost, you don't have long eyes!" said a white little guy standing next to the man, yelling at her.

Xiao Yue didn't have time to take a closer look at this person's appearance, she only felt that it was an expressionless face, like a square J without a beard in a playing card, and she said that she was really unlucky, and she had to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to bump into the child, don't blame." ”

The man didn't think so, and leaned sideways to make a way. Xiao Yue hurriedly led Xiao Lan out of the crowd. I only heard an old woman behind me shouting in a flattering tone: "Oh, it's Yougongzi, how can you have time to come to our Piaoxiang Courtyard today, it's really a rare guest!"

Xiao Yue turned around and saw that the old bustard of Piaoxiang Courtyard was facing the person she had just collided with, constantly squeezing her eyebrows and making eyes, and greeted enthusiastically, Xiao Yue looked disgusted, hula, and spit out half a bowl of noodles in the corner.

"Xiaoyue, why are you still seasick!" Xiaolan looked at her worriedly.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a while, but I still feel like I'm shaking!" The two walked towards Lin Lane with their arms in hand.

Lin Lane is a very secluded place in the city, far away from the most lively market, Xiao Yue thought to herself that this is quite in line with the character of Old Man Pan, and Pan's Mansion is at the end of Lin Lane, presumably the mansion is also very clean. Although the market was lively, it was very quiet, Satsuki walked to the door, looked at the stone lion, and thought that this was it, and just wanted to knock on the door, the door opened, and a very thin old man came out, holding a bamboo pole with an iron hook in his hand.

The old man was also surprised that there were not many people here, so he asked, "Did the later life misidentify the door?" ”

Xiao Yue replied: "May I ask if this is Pan Mansion?" The thin old man pointed to the plaque on the door, and Xiao Yue didn't know the words written on it, so he shook his head, and the old man had to say: "This is Anfu, you went to the wrong door." ”

Xiao Yue thought to herself that something was wrong, and when she saw the old man holding a bamboo pole and preparing to take down the lantern at the door, she hurriedly said, "Are you Steward Huang?"

The thin old man was stunned and said, "It's the old student." ”

Xiao Yue called Xiao Lan to take out the jade pendant given by Old Man Pan from the baggage and handed it to Steward Huang: "Can you recognize this?"

Steward Huang put the jade pendant under the lantern, looked at it carefully for a while, and did not speak, just quietly took down the two lanterns at the door, and then said: "The two of you have been waiting for a long time, please enter the house with the old student." So, he led Xiaoyue and Xiaolan into the mansion, asked them about their intentions, and arranged for them to stay in the guest room in the mansion temporarily.

The next day, it was slightly bright, and Satsuki got up to take a look at her surroundings.

This Anfu is a separate courtyard, which is a small courtyard with two entrances, but it is also a luxury villa for Xiaoyue.

The gate of Anfu is facing a wall, and there is a small corridor after entering the door, and after passing the small corridor, you will enter the main courtyard. The main courtyard is very large, and there is a pond in the middle that seems to be planted with lotus flowers, but now I can't see what it looks like, and there are some flowers and plants around it. The largest row of rooms in the middle of the main courtyard should be Old Man Pan's room, with three rooms on the left and Butler Huang's residence, kitchen and latrine on the right. The yard looks clean and refreshing, and it should be well organized by Steward Huang. This yellow housekeeper seems to be taciturn, and when he has nothing to do, he raises flowers in the yard alone, and he is the only one living in this yard.

Steward Huang was also secretly observing Xiao Yue, he was obviously a little uncomfortable with the arrival of Xiao Yue and Xiao Lan, but he had to obey Old Man Pan's arrangement.

Perhaps in his impression, Old Man Pan had never been so generous in inviting people to live in his private courtyard, because both the master and servant did not like to interact with people too much. Xiao Yue didn't take the initiative to answer him when he saw him like this, but Steward Huang couldn't confirm the origin of the two after all, so at breakfast time, he couldn't help but ask about the relationship between Xiao Yue and Pan Lao. Xiao Yue thought for a while, and laughed that she was Pan Lao's book. Steward Huang felt that Xiao Yue was fooling him, but he was not an eventful person, so he stopped asking.

In the past few days, Xiaoyue has led Xiaolan to walk around the streets and alleys of Yingjun every day, and Xiaoyue has felt so free and easy for the first time in this world, and sometimes he will forget who Xiaomi used to be. But when she saw that there were fewer and fewer copper plates in the money bag, it still made Xiaoyue feel a sense of crisis. So while playing, she is also constantly thinking about how to find her future money bag.

And Xiaolan may be excited because she saw the prosperous new world, and on the second day of coming to the imperial city of Yingjun, she ushered in the first great aunt in her life. But Xiaoyue didn't know what to do, after all, she hadn't experienced it in this world, so she led Xiaolan to ask for help from the old woman who sold female popularity, and finally learned that in this place where there was no aunt's towel, it was her aunt who brought the problem to solve the problem.

Xiaolan didn't find out that Xiaoyue was older than her and still didn't know it, but she just told Xiaoyue that she would be fifteen years old at the end of the year, and then when she encountered this kind of thing, she really didn't know what to do if she didn't have Xiaoyue. But Xiaoyue is still a little depressed, why do girls younger than her have big aunts, why did she not move at all, could it be that there was something wrong with her own crossing, and it was hard to say it bluntly, so she could only hold it in her heart. However, these troubles are also ignored with the new things that need to appear in front of us.

In Xiao Yue's eyes, the imperial city of Yingjun is a little bigger than she imagined, after all, it is the capital. The whole city is built in a boxy way, like a field character divided by two avenues in the north and south. At the top of the Tianzi grid is the Imperial City, where the Empress of Great Britain lives, and below the Tianzi is the waterway and dock that took Xiaoyue and them into the Imperial City of Yingjun. The inside of the Tianzi is divided into four areas, the left and right sides near the imperial city are the offices and private residences of officials, and the lower two areas of the Tianzi are the places where merchants and bazaars gather.

This is just a rough division, and there are many winding alleys interspersed in it, and Satsuki has only been here for a few days and hasn't finished visiting this place. And Pan Lao's residence is in the middle of this Tianzi, between the official area and the commercial area, which makes Xiaoyue's visit very convenient. Xiao Yue thought to herself, it seems that the old man will still choose a place.

In the past few days, Xiaoyue has been accompanying Xiaolan to play, and she is also observing the city, and she found that the commercial atmosphere here is very strong, maybe because of the geographical location, close to the waterway, or maybe because of the capital, so it is very popular. Either way, it should be much easier to make a living here than it is to come in a sparsely populated place like Rakusetown. According to her experience, if you want to get the most up-to-date information, you should not look for Du Niang but go to the teahouse here. So, often taking advantage of the excuse of resting when he was tired of walking, he pulled Xiaolan to sit in the corner of the teahouse and listened to the chatter of guests from south to north. But Xiaolan was heartbroken for the tea money, and later only Xiaoyue went to the teahouse alone to listen to people's chatter.

I have to say that listening to the inn gradually began to understand the situation of Great Britain, including politics and economy, as well as the international relations between Great Britain and other countries.

Studying for a PhD did not give her any direct money-making skills, but it gave her a different way of thinking and looking at the face of this new world.
