There is a canal from Jiangnan to Kyoto, so it is much easier to take the waterway.

Originally, according to the meaning of the little goblin, he had a boat at home, so he directly sent a boat to escort his husband to Beijing.

However, Lin Bai refused.

It's so windy!

Not necessarily.

Of course, more importantly, there are many students in Jiangnan who go to Beijing to take the exam, and whenever this time, the governor yamen will organize a building boat to send all the students to go together, as long as they pay some fees, and there are corresponding guards.

Why don't you use ready-made, I really think that the lady is not tired of making money.

Besides, the crowds are more lively.

Qi Renjie was already waiting at the pier, and the group first took a small boat, then joined the big boat from Jinling, and finally boarded the big boat.

The little girl was very excited, like a bird out of the cage, desperately having fun.

Chasing the moon didn't say a word, but his face was still a little red.

Qi Renjie sighed: "Are you going to Beijing to take the exam?" Those who don't know think that they rushed to the front line to fight, such a large group of people, mighty. ”

All right!

It is indeed a bit exaggerated, in addition to the little girl and chasing the moon, there are more than a dozen of Lao Mo and his party.

Lin Bai spread his hands and said: "No way, the three ladies are worried about the safety of their husbands, you can't feel this kind of happy trouble." ”

I'm so that I don't have anything to ask about this.

Qi Renjie wanted to slap himself, but he was forcibly shown off by some people.

There are many familiar faces on the boat, Bai Chulang, Mo Wenchun, Wang Jing'an, Liu Suiyun, etc., all of them are classmates, everyone was very excited at first, and slowly only boredom remained.

After all, it will take a month's boat ride, which can be imagined.

The boat is not small, Lin Bai lives in one room alone, Chasing the Moon and the little girl live in one room, and Lao Mo and the others are crowded in a few rooms next door.

Bored at night, Lin Bai taught the little girl and Chasing the Moon to play backgammon.

The little girl was babbling, maybe she was too excited during the day, and she went back to sleep after a while.

Chasing the moon stayed in the room, looking a little restless.

"Auntie...... Uncle, you should rest early! ”

"No hurry!"

Lin Bai said, "There is time to sleep along the way. ”

Saying that, he blinked deliberately, looked at Chasing Yue and said, "You seem to have something wrong." ”

Yes?

Chasing the moon hurriedly shook her head, "No, no ......"

That said, but the pretty face became even redder.

When Lin Bai saw her like this, he probably understood, when he was in the Su family before, he had heard someone say that Caiyun chasing the moon was the marriage girl of the Iron Lady, and further it was the girl who passed the room, and it was estimated that the Iron Lady had an explanation before coming, so ......

It seems that the three ladies really treat their husbands as animals.

Lin Bai smiled bitterly.

The next days were very boring, all the way north, fortunately there were little girls and chasing the moon, and occasionally you could tease.

Half a month later, the boat finally entered the east of the river.

There were also some fleeing boats on the canal, most of them yellow-skinned and ragged.

"Brother-in-law, these people are so pitiful, can you help them?"

The little girl saw this situation, and her compassion overflowed again.

Lin Bai couldn't help but give her a roll of his eyes, he really thought it was Mulberry Town.

Even if it was Mulberry Town, if it weren't for the support of Tsundere Niang behind her back, it would be impossible to do it.

Chasing Yue also said: "Second Miss, this is a matter of the imperial court, even if my uncle has great ability, there is no way, unless he is admitted to the top prize." ”

The little girl nodded and said, "Brother-in-law will definitely be able to get the top prize." ”

Singing and harmonizing, putting aside cross talk.

Champion in the exam?

As long as it's not too embarrassing, don't embarrass the three ladies.

Of course, if you can get a jinshi or something, and fulfill a beautiful dream, that's good.

Lin Bai subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

On this day, the building ship stopped at Xuzhou Wharf, and the boatman said: "The building ship needs to replenish supplies, everyone has half a day, don't go too far." ”

The building ship usually needs to be replenished every few days, which is also a good time for everyone to let off steam.

The little girl couldn't help it for a long time, "Brother-in-law, let's go down and have a big meal and see if there's anything fun." ”

Quite a few people got off the boat, and it was too boring to stay on the boat.

Xuzhou is a rather prosperous city.

But at this moment, everyone found that this was not the case at all, and the streets were full of ragged beggars, many of whom were dragging their families.

Obviously, they are not real beggars, but victims of the disaster.

When the little girl saw this scene, her interest disappeared for a moment.

Qi Renjie also asked: "Is the disaster in Hedong so serious?" ”

Bai Qilang on one side replied: "I heard that there was a drought in the previous two years, and last year was slightly better, but seeing the autumn harvest, suddenly there was a locust plague again, and the crops were not harvested. ”

Qi Renjie said: "Isn't there a disaster relief in the imperial court? ”

Bai Shulang said: "There must be, but the specific amount is not necessarily, it is always a drop in the bucket." ”

To put it bluntly, the low grain production is simply not enough to eat.

There are still a lot of officials who handle it, so I don't know what to do.

Lin Bai frowned and said, "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be chaos." ”

As soon as he spoke, a team of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, "Get out of the way, give me a door-to-door search, you ......"

The first general looked at several people.

Bai Qilang hurriedly said: "This adult, my father, Bai Qingyun, Jiangnan Daotai, we are all students who entered Beijing to take the exam......

When the general heard this, his face became kinder, and he said, "Don't stay here, hurry back to your ship." ”

Qi Renjie couldn't help but ask, "My lord, but what's wrong?" ”

The general replied: "The Red Lotus Sect is spreading rumors everywhere, inciting the victims to make trouble, and has captured Liang County. ”

What!

Everyone's faces couldn't help but change when they heard this.

And the general had already led the soldiers to hunt down the Red Lotus Sect.

"Let's go back! If it gets involved with the Red Lotus Sect, it will be troublesome. ”

"Not bad! Let's go! ”

The students don't have the heart to go shopping, and in this way, there is nothing to go around, for the sake of safety.

Lin Bai couldn't help frowning, it was the Red Lotus Sect again.

Since ancient times, these rebels have been extremely active wherever there is a disaster, and this is a good time to recruit troops.

"Uncle, let's hurry back to the ship!"

Chasing the moon said with concern.

Lin Bai nodded, don't say that he can't manage this kind of thing, and he doesn't dare to manage it, but if he has anything to do with the thief, he can hide as far as he can.

Just eat soft rice with peace of mind.

However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found that there was a cloth village not far away.

Su's Cloth Village!

"Lao Mo, our cloth village has expanded to Hedong?"

Lao Mo replied: "Yes, Childe, because Childe went to Beijing to take the exam, the eldest lady gave priority to expanding the cities along the canal leading to the capital, and all the way to Kyoto, there are branches of Su's Buzhuang." ”

Gee!!

It seems that the Iron Lady is serious, and every place the husband goes, there will be a Su's cloth village.

This soft rice is eaten.

Get! Now that you've encountered it, let's go check it out!

can't live up to the lady's heart.

Immediately, Lin Bai walked towards Buzhuang, and at this moment, several guys in Buzhuang walked out, carrying sacks one after another.
