Chapter 45: The Luxurious Ship
Wu Qin and Gu Zhengcheng took the boat of Moon Wushuang.
Seeing the cabins several floors above, there is no hard-working boss with his mouth open. The open space on the deck alone could match the size of his yard on Zixuan Peak. The planks were very clean, reflecting the harsh sunlight under the sun.
Under the leadership of Xiao Tao, Wu Qin is like a curious baby, looking east and west. The corridor in the cabin is also wide, and it is no exaggeration to say that a single carriage can easily be carried here. There are also various calligraphy and paintings and porcelain decorations on both sides of the corridor. There was even a fish pond when you got to the center!
The central location is very spacious, as it is hollow and extends all the way to the top floor of the cabin. There are four right-angled interfaces at the top, which should be the top door, if it rains lightly, don't pay attention, but if it is a storm, plus the height of the cabin, the top hatch must be closed.
Seeing the little star in Wu Qin's eyes, Xiao Tao's heart showed a trace of disdain. The previous amazement for the lack of diligence has also disappeared. It's not a tattered piece of clothing, it's long, well, it's okay. So what? Not a bun who hasn't seen the world?
Although Gu Zhengcheng did not become a curious baby watching around like no diligence, he was also shocked by the luxurious decoration in this cabin. As the prince of Gu Shu, although he is down, he still sees good things often. Wood, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, etc. aside, the design and splicing of this main ship alone is impressive.
There were no nails at all along the way, and parts of the walls were smooth and without gaps. There are only two possibilities, the first is that the planks are large enough, and the second is that the craftsmanship of the shipbuilder is at its peak. The first possibility is just an ideal state, where to find such a large area of planks?
"Miss Wushuang, take the liberty of asking. Since I came in, I haven't found metal fixtures such as iron nails and steel, is there any method to hide them?"
Yue Wushuang stopped.
"Metal? The anchor is made of stainless steel. ”
"Well, do I mean there is no metal in the hull?" Gu Zhengcheng repeated his own question.
"Nope. Xiao Tao, take the two sons to the guest room to rest. Yue Wushuang walked to a square space on the right side of the fish pond and pulled a handle. The entire square "box" moved smoothly upwards with Yue Wushuang, and finally stopped at the top floor.
What is the situation? Can you still play like this? This time, even Gu Zhengcheng has a little star in his eyes.
Seeing the two people with such expressions, Xiao Tao's sense of superiority suddenly rose. She sensed her chance to look down on others.
"Hmph, the wood of the entire hull is made of a hundred years of cold ironwood. It is stronger than ordinary metal and is more manufacturable. It is also lighter than those fine metals that are of high quality but not ideal in weight. The metal on this ship is really not only the anchor, but also the kitchen knives and pots in the kitchen. ”
If the first few sentences are explaining the reason for not using metal with Wu Qin, then the last two sentences are obviously a bit sarcastic. It doesn't matter if he is not diligent, he didn't think about it so much, but Gu Zhengcheng is different, he was blinded in the royal capital before, although he forbears it, but he is sensitive to it. Gu Zhengcheng's face was a little unsightly.
"That's right. Xiao Tao suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at the two of them seriously.
"Since you have come to the young lady's ship, you have to abide by the rules of the ship. After dinner, I stayed in my room honestly, and I couldn't leave half a step without notice. ”
"Can't you just look at the fish in the pond?"
Xiao Tao frowned, she was very unhappy that Wu Qin interrupted her. Wu Qin also saw the change in Xiao Tao's expression, shrugged his shoulders and shut up in amusement.
After sorting out her emotions, Xiao Tao spoke again: "You can move freely during the day, but the activity area is limited to one floor. The second floor is for guests, the third floor is the kitchen and dining room, the fourth floor is the lady's leisure and entertainment place, and the fifth floor is the lady's private space. If you can live on the first floor, burn high incense. This is also what makes Xiao Tao jealous, obviously she is a personal maid but she can't live on the top floor with Yue Wushuang. And you can't even live in a guest room on the first floor, you can only live in the cabin below. Although the decoration and comfort of the cabin below are not inferior to those above, it still forms a knot in Xiao Tao's heart.
Looking at the uncertain face of Xiao Tao, who was silent, Wu Qin swallowed back the question he wanted to ask. He is still quite interested in the entertainment and leisure place on the fourth floor, why don't you find a chance to ask the Wushuang girl tomorrow?
"Let's go inside, it's a double room. I really don't know what Miss thinks. The latter sentence was muttered by Xiao Tao in a low voice, but it was still heard by the two of them.
Gu Zhengcheng wants to go crazy, the first floor is so big, give us a so-called double room? Is your eldest lady so reluctant to add another room? But when Gu Zhengcheng walked into the room, he was stupid. He understood why Xiao Tao had to mumble what Miss thought before, the area here could catch up with three standard single rooms. The door of the room is facing a table of eight immortals, there is a row of bright pillars on the left and right, and the pictures carved on each pillar are different, there are bright carvings and dark carvings, this craft is not something that ordinary craftsmen can do. Above the table of the Eight Immortals is a carved window. The beds are one on the left and one on the right. There is a screen on each side, the one on the left is themed on spring and summer, and the one on the right is themed on autumn and winter. How much money will you charge for such a room if you stay in a restaurant inn in the royal capital?
"Dinner will be brought to you, remember what I said, you can't leave this room after dinner. After saying that, Xiao Tao left, and didn't even close the door. Helplessly, he walked to the door of the room, and when he reached out and touched the doorknob, his nerves suddenly jumped.
"Who's there?!" Wu Qin quickly struck, pulled out his wooden sword and slashed it in the air, and an invisible sword aura forced towards the corner, and finally stopped on a flower pot not far from the room. The whole flower stand and the flower pot began to shake, and it was terrifying to see the lack of diligence. Don't get on the boat the first day and get into trouble.
Fortunately, in the end, the trellis stabilized. Wu Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and then he stared at the corner before him very suspiciously, did he feel wrong? But Wu Qin didn't think much about it soon, because along the way, not a single guard of this big ship saw it, and he didn't see any maids except Xiao Tao.
It must be that I have a lot of nerves. No diligence is not mistaken, there is indeed not a single guard here. It can be said that in the entire main ship, only Yue Wushuang, Xiao Tao and the shadow guard can move freely every day. The chef cooks and lives on the third floor, and there is an ingredient warehouse below the deck, and there will be a special person to deliver the ingredients by elevator every day, which is the square box that takes Yue Wushuang from the first floor to the fifth floor.
Of course, the elevator not only delivers the ingredients, but also the food. After all, the control room below deck is occupied, and some of the people who clean every day live here. They go out to clean in the early hours of the morning and return to the cabin below before the sun rises, and do not show up for a day.
It's not that Yue Wushuang has any special habits, and the maid is not allowed to show up. There's a reason for all this, it's their own refusal to show up.
On the fifth floor, in the private space of the moon. Compared with the luxury of the decoration on the first floor, it can be described as minimalist. A small table, four or five futons, a bed by the terrace. Silk yarn, mattresses, curtains, etc. are spotlessly white and snow-white. The only thing that can add color to this place is the various flowers and plants around, there are no calligraphy and paintings and porcelain, only some flowers and plants that Yue Wushuang likes. Of course, she is the entire fifth floor, not the entire main ship, the most beautiful scenery.
"Your Highness. "A woman dressed in a black leotard didn't know when she appeared, and suddenly knelt down in front of Yue Wushuang. Although her face was covered, she knew by listening to her voice that she must be a beautiful woman.
"I've told you how many times I've called me Miss. Why are you more dead-eyed than Xiao Tao's girl?" said Yue Wushuang, putting down the book in his hand.
"The subordinates don't dare. ”
"Don't you dare? You're blaming me for what I said on the deck yesterday, right? Hurry up and get used to it, when you arrive in the royal capital of Gushu, you're going to be my personal maid." ”
"What, Your Highness, before you go out, didn't you tell your subordinates!" the woman jumped up directly from the ground, and there was no distinction between master and servant, and there was no courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
Yue Wushuang smiled proudly: "Now that I'll inform you, it's not too late, right?" Okay, I don't have time to watch you play a little temper, so let's talk about something." Yue Wushuang's gaze refocused on the book.
"That little peach's attitude is not very good. The Shadow Guard recounted the previous incident.
"Oh?" Yue Wushuang stared at her shadow guard again, Xiao Tao she understood that she had never fought or grabbed since she was a child, and she had never done anything bad behind her back, so Yue Wushuang finally left her. But Yue Wushuang also knew that his shadow guard would not lie to her. But soon she didn't care very much, so she thought that Xiao Tao was relieving the pressure she was under here.
"And that kid with a sword is not simple. ”
"No diligence?"
"Your Highness is so interested, I even wrote down other people's names. ”
"Don't be poor, be careful to go back, I'll let your father give you a blind date. Anyway, there are a lot of alternates for the shadow guard. ”
"Don't don't, miss, I was wrong. Ying Wei looked at Yue Wushuang very aggrievedly.
"That kid was able to sense my presence, though probably not too accurately. Because his previous move was tentative, if he could be sure of my existence, then at least it wouldn't be a tentative force. ”
"It seems that he may really be a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect, but how can the third prince of Gu Shu also be in the Shushan Sword Sect? Her news was still at the stage before Gu Zhengcheng was sent to the Shushan Sword Sect, because of some things in the clan, she also relaxed the information here, and not all of them had to be seen. Of course, if you want to check it, you can definitely find it. However, for Wu Qin, who was able to perceive the existence of the shadow guard, Yue Wushuang was still a little surprised.
Inside the rooms on the first floor.
"Senior brother, are you hungry?" said Wu Qin, looking at Gu Zhengcheng, who was meditating and cultivating on the bed, but did not get a response.
"I said, junior brother, now that you have just started to recover, you don't have to work so hard. ”
Gu Zhengcheng still didn't pay attention to him, at this time Gu Zhengcheng was in a mysterious state, and the three successes passed on to him by Zhu Yeqing in his body were slowly being absorbed by him.
"Yes, for your sake, I'm going to find you something delicious to eat. "After two meals of steamed bread and pickles, I really ate enough without diligence. Mi Xiang had packed a little food for him before, but he secretly put it outside the yard. If it weren't for the moon warrior's boat, they would have started to gnaw on herbs at night.
With a flash of body, Wu Qin came directly to the elevator where Yue Wushuang was before. Looking at the handle hanging on the side, there is a row of grooves under the handle, corresponding to two, three, four, and Wu.
"What floor is the restaurant? Wu Qin pushed his hand to the "three" position. Soon he was on the third floor, which was not ordinarily large, and it was not empty at all. A large table of more than ten meters, and a kitchen behind a bamboo curtain. It's just after lunchtime, and there's no one.
Wu Qin began to wander among the various ingredients, and picked up a cucumber. Lift the lid on the stovetop, and it turns out to be empty.
"Why don't you even have anything to eat?"
"What do you want to eat?"
A voice came from behind the industrious.
