Chapter 216

Because she wanted to take her two children to the state capital, Mrs. Jiang asked for leave in advance with the family studies and Mrs. Zhengu. Everything was arranged properly. , bid farewell to Mrs. Li and Brother Kang, and got on the boat to the state capital.

It only takes half a day by boat to go to the state capital. Although it is not the first time for Li Meier to take a boat, it is the first time in her life to travel far away. She is very excited. She wanders on the deck when she gets on the boat, and she doesn't want to sit in the cabin for a moment. .

Because Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing fell into the water when they were young, and Jiang Shanqing almost lost his life because of it, Li Yan and Jiang Shi were particularly cautious this time, almost staring at the two children rightly.

"Mei Meier, stay away from the railing, be careful when a wave comes, the boat sways, and you will be thrown!" Jiang grabbed Li Meier's collar, and pulled her from the railing to her side.

Li Meier was a little helpless, turned her head and said to Jiang Shi: "Mother, look at this calm sea, where did the waves come from, you are too careful."

"It's alright if I'm not careful, you girl, you're skinnier than a kid, look at your elder brother Shanqing, who has been staying in the cabin since he got on the boat, can't you learn from him!" Jiang's eyebrows were raised upright , couldn't help but teach again.

"Mother, brother Shanqing is seasick. You can see that he vomited several times. I didn't see him seasick when I was a child. Why do I have this problem now?" Li Meier said sympathetically.

Mrs. Jiang was also very surprised how Jiang Shanqing got seasick. Those of them who grew up by the sea rarely got seasick. Although Jiang Shanqing was not born and bred in Zhangshui Town, her mother was also counted, so why did she get seasick.

"Fortunately, it's only a half-day boat ride. If it takes longer, I don't see how Brother Shanqing can stand it." Li Meier shook her little head, her tone becoming more and more sympathetic.

"It's also because I didn't think carefully. I knew that Shanqing would get seasick, so I should have taken the medicine in advance." Jiang said with some self-blame.

"Mother, it's okay. Seasickness is a problem. It will be better if you take more boats. Brother Shanqing will take the imperial examination in the future. If you don't cure this seasickness, how can you go to the capital in the future? To go to the capital, you have to take the imperial examination." I have been on a boat for several months, so I have to vomit half my life." Li Meier felt that this problem must be cured, and it is a good thing to find out in advance.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang nodded in agreement, and decided to take Jiang Shanqing out for more boat rides in the future, to cure his seasickness.

The members of the Li family boarded the boat early in the morning, and just after noon, the boat docked at the pier of the state capital.

As soon as Li Meier jumped off the boat, she was attracted by the prosperous atmosphere of the state capital.I suddenly felt that my eyes were not enough to see.

"Sixth Master, Sixth Granny, the carriage is already waiting, I will take you to settle down in the master's other courtyard in the state capital first." Li Yi was the last to get off the boat, and after making sure that all the luggage had been moved off the boat, he said to Li Yan and his wife. Said.

"Thank you, Housekeeper Li." Li Yan and Li Yi thanked them, and walked towards Li Xin's carriage with their wives and daughters.

Li Meier turned her head to help the pale-faced Jiang Shanqing, and whispered in his ear, "Brother Shanqing, are you okay?"

Jiang Shanqing waved his hands, as if he didn't want to talk, and he never expected that this body would be seasick, it really is... so cheating!
When they got into the carriage, Li Meier still let Jiang Shanqing rest on her body, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shanqing, sleep for a while, I will call you when you get there."

Jiang Shanqing still didn't have the strength to speak, so he did whatever Li Meier did.

The house Li Xin bought was in the second-class area of ​​the state capital, and there were some merchants living nearby. Although it was not the best location, it was not bad. After driving for about two quarters of an hour, the carriage arrived at the mansion.

Li Meier helped Jiang Shanqing get out of the car, and looked at Li Xin's house in the state capital. It is said that it is a three-in-one courtyard. Although it is not very big, it is very elegant. On weekdays, only Li Xin and his son Li Jian live there. They are not there. Sometimes, there are special people in charge of the house.

Since there were not many people coming from the Li family, it was enough to set aside a yard for them.

Li Xin was still in the shop at the moment, not at home, so Li Yi led several people to the cleaned up yard.

"Three meals a day will be delivered by servants. If the sixth master and grandma are not at home to eat, just let me know in advance. If you have anything to do, you can find Xiaochun. She has been serving in this yard for a few days." Li Yi was very excited. Said appropriately.

Xiaochun is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid, she looks very strong, she looks like a good hand at work, just now when the Li family members arrived, they had already met them.

"Thank you, Housekeeper Li." Mrs. Jiang thanked her, and then took out a purse fortress to Li Yi.

Li Yi quickly took a step back, waved his hands and said: "Grandma Six, you can't help it, if the villain takes your money, you will have to eat at the master's board."

Jiang didn't force it, so she put away the money.

After they packed up their luggage, Xiaochun delivered a warm lunch, and they chatted while eating.

"It's rare to come to the state capital once, let's go out for a stroll tomorrow." Li Yan first suggested.

Li Meier was overjoyed, he had long wanted to visit the state capital.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang said immediately, "There are still important things to do. After finishing the work, you can go shopping as you like!"

Li Yan smiled, "There is no need to be so anxious, first familiarize yourself with the environment of the state capital, and then you can make plans later."

"The third brother Xin in the state capital is not familiar yet, so we will just ask him directly. We have to quickly find teahouses and restaurants to make "Journey to the West" famous." Jiang's attitude was very firm.

Li Yan could only laugh, "Alright, just listen to my wife."

Only then did Jiang nodded in satisfaction.

Due to seasickness, Jiang Shanqing didn't eat much for lunch, so he went to bed and slept.

Li Mei'er was a little tired after sitting on the boat for half a day, and Jiang Shi also sent her to take a nap after dinner.Li Yan and his wife are also resting in the house.

In the evening, Li Xin came back, Li Yan and his wife got the news, they immediately came to see him.

"The business in the shop is really too busy, so don't take offense to my sixth brother for not picking you up." Li Xin said hastily when he saw her husband and wife.

"Where is the third brother? You have arranged everything so well. It's too late for us husband and wife to thank you." Li Yan thanked you with a smile.

"It's all my brothers, thank you for whatever you say." Li Xin didn't say much politeness, and directly talked about the book, "This book... Ayan, what do you plan?"

"We have already discussed it at home. We want to find some famous teahouses and restaurants in the state capital, and see if we can let the storyteller talk about our books." Li Yan told Li Xin about his family's plan.
