Houmen's concubine

With the rattling sound of the carriage, it drove out of the city gate of Qinzhou. About half an hour later, listening to the sound of waves hitting the shore in the distance, Wang Tong'er raised the curtain of the carriage and looked forward, and saw a parked ship in the distance. After a while, the kung fu carriage drove to the sea.

In the line of sight, there is a big pier in front of you, where two or three merchant ships are moored.

One of the ships was docking in the middle of the pier, and its sails had already been raised.

This ship should be a cheap cargo ship.

The sails in ancient China were "hard sails", which were very different from the "soft sails" in the West.

And the sails are mostly airfoil sails that are supported by multiple beams and configured with complex sail cables.

The use of vertical sails is a feature of most wooden sailboats in China.It has excellent aerodynamic performance and can use wind force from all directions to generate the most efficient thrust.

This kind of ship is a big trading house, and one needs 5000 taels of silver to make it.More than 60 people can live on it, there is a kitchen, everything is available, and even more can be loaded.

Wang Tonger got out of the carriage and looked up to see that the sails on the ship were made of multiple sails. After all, it was a big ship going out to sea. Wang Tonger counted and found that there were five sails. The sails were arranged in a staggered manner to increase the wind receiving area to improve the efficiency of the sails. The more sails and the lower center of wind pressure, the greater the stability of the ship can be obtained.

Mr. Hua got out of the carriage first, and stretched out his arms to help Chen Jiaojiao out of the carriage.

Then, he took her by the hand and walked to the deck.

When passing by Wang Tong'er, Wang Tong'er coughed lightly, and winked playfully at Chen Jiaojiao.

Chen Jiaojiao looked hopeless and smirked at Wang Tong'er. She was very repulsive and was helped by Mr. Hua onto the deck and onto the ship.

Wang Tong'er looked at her awkwardly and helplessly, if there was no one around, she would have burst out laughing.

Can only be helpless...

Qin Baozhen's eyes were full of envy: What a couple of gods and gods!
Wang Tong'er watched cheap father with envious and sad eyes from the sidelines, and could only silently wish him and his soon-to-be-married wife to love each other!

"Son, let's board the boat too." Qin Baozhen withdrew his envious eyes, and said to Wang Tonger while looking at the sails on the boat, "Hey, son, I'm so lucky today. Look at the direction of the wind, it's downwind!" Said After looking at Wang Tong'er, he swept away the little sadness that had just rushed into his heart, and put it behind him, with a smile on his face: "The omen is good, this is to wish my son a smooth journey to Beijing this time, and you will definitely pass high school." ,Ha ha!"

"Well! With your good words, daddy, my son will work hard and live up to daddy's expectations!" Wang Tong'er looked at cheap daddy with expectant eyes on his face, and couldn't bear to refute his kindness, so she followed his words and promised.

Qin Baozhen looked at his outstanding son with benevolent eyes, feeling deeply moved!
If this had been put before him, he would never have imagined how he, Qin Baozhen, He De, would be blessed by the Bodhisattva and bestow upon him such an excellent son!
Xiao'e educated her son well!

However, as soon as the word "Xiao'e" came to my mind, my heart ached like a knife...
After all, I, Qin Baozhen, betrayed her, and I can only hide her in the corner of my heart from now on.

The servants carried all the simple luggage into the cabin, and the ship immediately pulled anchor and set sail.

The boatmen rowing on both sides of the boat are in their positions, ready to wave their arms and row hard...

Ancient ships sailed with oars, sails, and rudders.

Sail is a propulsion tool to propel ships forward. Using natural wind as power, the speed and navigation area of ​​ships are greatly expanded, laying the foundation for the further development of ship technology.

The appearance of sails can be said to be an important milestone in the history of ship development, which has opened up broad prospects for large-scale ships and ocean-going navigation.

Wang Tong'er looked at Mr. Hua over there, carefully standing on the bow of the boat with Chen Jiaojiao in his arms, admiring the scenery. She couldn't interfere, and she didn't want to be a big light bulb, so she could only go into the small room inside the cabin.

Under the leadership of Qin Baozhen, Wang Tong'er walked into her cabin.

I didn't expect that the interior was organized like a guest room, complete with beds and desks.

There is also a plate of seasonal fruits on the side table, which is a plate of fiery red persimmons and a plate of orange pomegranates.

There is also a small red copper incense burner in the middle of the room. The incense burning in it has the same smell as the agarwood in the Qilin courtyard.

He explained that the incense and the arrangement in his cabin must have been personally arranged by Father Cheap.

It is conceivable that he spent a lot of thought.

There was that feeling of deep guilt and deep gratitude for cheap father again in my heart!

"Son, take a rest first, and ask someone to bring you tea later." Qin Baozhen left without disturbing Wang Tong'er's rest.

"Well, okay, Dad, you should go and rest first." Wang Tong'er looked at the blue eyes of the cheap father, knowing that the cheap father was afraid that he would leave secretly, and he failed to see him off, so he probably didn't sleep at night to comfort him.He said softly.

Wang Tong'er blamed herself, she was such an unworthy son, she shouldn't have said the words that would not allow him to give her...
As early as the day when Wang Tong'er went to Wuwei Mountain to send off the teacher's thank you ceremony, he had a wish to send his son on his own cargo ship.

Therefore, people were hired to rush to work day and night, and the cabins of the cargo ship were changed into warm and warm small guest rooms.

Wang Tong'er sat on the wisteria ring chair under the window, propped herself up and looked out the window, the sea water and the sky converged in one place, vast and boundless.

Looking far away, overlooking the rough sea scenery.The wind is sunny, the vegetation is flourishing, and the distant mountains are layered and undulating, stretching to the depths of the sea of ​​clouds.

Humid water vapor and smog are misty, blowing towards the face with the wind, as if in a small boat floating in the vast ocean, small and hopeless.Just like my mood at the moment, I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong to go to the capital impulsively, the future is bleak...

Hey!
Wang Tong'er sighed in her heart, now it's not for herself, but also for her own little cousin, so she has to make a good plan.

There was a sound of waves beating in my ears, and I lifted the curtain, and I saw a tall and majestic cliff standing on the other side of the bank, like a natural gatepost in the capital, and waves of huge waves swept up, stirring up monstrous waves. Wave after wave, the waves still stubbornly demonstrate their unparalleled majesty here.

······
At noon, Qin Baozhen took Wang Tong'er and Huawenge's old couple to the cabin hall for dinner.

Wang Tonger looked at the table full of seafood in shock!I saw that the table was filled with rough porcelain sea bowls like washbasins, and in the middle was a large basin full of crabs, and palm finger-sized prawns were also placed in a thick porcelain sea bowl.Not to mention all kinds of scallops, razor clams and Pipi shrimp...

There is also a pot of seafood porridge with a strong fragrance on the small table next to it.
