Chapter 230 Preparation
Taking a boat is not like riding a carriage. You need to rest at night and you can travel day and night.The speed of the paddle steamer is much faster than that of ordinary paddle wooden boats.

Originally it took four or five days to travel, but now it has only been two and a half days, and I can vaguely see the confluence of Luoshui River and the Yellow River.

After talking about that incident that day, Mrs. Cui did not immediately agree or deny it.Instead, he smiled and said: "If you can convince my sister-in-law, I will allow you to hold Azhi's birthday banquet."

This is the same as saying it.

But Qiao Yun is not in a hurry, just thinking about how to take down Madam Wang these days.

At this moment, the two girls were standing on the second floor deck blowing the river breeze.

Whether it is Fenshui or the middle section of the Yellow River, on both sides of the river bank are the towering and majestic Taihang Mountains on one side, and the Loess Plateau on the other. One side became the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains.

Looking at the lush mountains on both sides of the river, Wang Jinzhi was a little excited: "Finally we are going home."

"Have you reached Henan Road yet?"

Qiao Yun lay on the railing, lazily looking at the mountains on both sides.The moist breeze mixed with the fishy smell of the river brushed past her forehead, brushing the shattered hair on her forehead, making her brows itchy, but the afternoon sun was warm, making her sleepy, so she couldn't be bothered Go take care of it.

"Yes! Didn't you see the section of the city wall that you passed by before? That section of the city wall is the city wall of Tongguan."

Wang Jinzhi took a deep breath, feeling very happy.

"Tongguan..." Qiao Yun perked up after hearing the place name.

She calculated in her heart that it was the 27th year of Kaiyuan, that is, AD 17.In another [-] years, Tongguan will fall into the flames of war.

She was only 29 years old then.

No, no, we have to go to the south as soon as possible.

Even if you want to stay longer in Chang'an and Luoyang, you have to go to Yangzhou.

"However, isn't sister Azhi's home in Chang'an?"

Wang Jinzhi smiled when she heard the words, and said: "Although that is the case, my family has another courtyard in Luoyang. Although it is not big, it is far more comfortable than living in Chang'an. There is Luoshui and Yishui here, which is more comfortable than that over there. There is more rain, people are closer to the water, and they are alive and nourished."

As she spoke, she blinked mysteriously, whispered to Qiao Yun's ear, and whispered: "The prices here are also cheaper than in Chang'an. I did the calculations when I helped Auntie look over the accounts. Come and accompany me, and spend a month here without any regard for thrift, but the expenses are the same as those in Chang'an on weekdays."

Hiss...is that so!
Qiao Yun nodded approvingly, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Sister Azhi, do you have any thoughts on your birthday banquet? Although your aunt is the housekeeper, this is a banquet for you after all." , she has to take your preferences into consideration, right?"

Wang Jinzhi pursed her lips, showing a thoughtful expression.

Indeed, the eldest aunt loves her very much, and she will definitely come to ask herself what she wants to do at this banquet.

"There is a banquet on the left and right. Please come to those families you have made friends with. I don't know the men outside. I definitely want to enjoy the flowers and have fun with my sisters. It is best to go out after the banquet."

"Then do you have anything to eat?"

"You suddenly asked such a question, I really couldn't think of it."

Qiao Yun then took out a fold of paper full of writing from her sleeve, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the food list I drew up these days, which one do you think is better?"

Wang Jinzhi let out a chuckle: "Are you already confident?"

Laughing, she took the menu and glanced at it.Seeing this, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Qiao Yun listed six plans to choose from, ranging from wine, dishes, snacks to fruit plates, and the names of the dishes are also very nice, such as bright future, good luck, smooth sailing, and flying high... The key is that she returns each dish The materials and methods are clearly written, and the taste and texture of each dish are clearly written!

Looking at the food list, I was stunned to see her hungry!
……

The boat rounded the turn and picked up speed.Turning from the Yellow River into Luoshui, you have completely stepped into the Yiluo Plain, and there are more and more cruise ships, large and small, on the river.

Finally, one early morning, Wang's big ship creaked, slowly approached the shore, and moored at the pier by the Luoshui River.

Everyone packed their luggage and prepared to disembark.

I haven't seen it these days when I came to work. After all, the whole boat is full of female relatives, so it's hard for him to squeeze on it as a man.When Qiao Yun saw Lai Gan again, she saw that his face was pale, his lips were pale, and his eyes were black and blue.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't mention it, my boss, I fainted all the way. It's not that I'm finally on the ground, I'm better."

Gu Yu glanced at him with resentment on his face: "Who knew he was seasick! He vomited and had diarrhea along the way. The steward of Wang's family gave him seasickness medicine and took it early in the morning. He didn't vomit, but he still fainted. Originally, Steward Wang I also want to take him to learn how to manage people, but when I see him like this, forget it, let him lie on the bed all the way."

The steward of the Taiyuan Wang family must have some unique skills to be able to sit firmly in such a big family. He is willing to support him. But I missed it because of seasickness!

Is he really not blessed to enjoy it?
What's the deal, Qiao Yun has developed later, what should I do if Qiao's mansion needs a housekeeper?Could it be that the boss should leave him, who has been with him for so long, and hire someone else?
Wang Jinzhi laughed at the side: "Then don't lie down, you should sit under the window, or go to the deck to enjoy the wind and enjoy the scenery."

"This is not the first time to take a boat. I have no experience." Lai Gan smiled honestly and scratched the back of his head.

Mrs. Cui seemed to have a good chat with Yun Xuemei, she held Xue Meiniang's hand, and said earnestly: "Sister Yun, have you found a good place to stay?"

"Not yet, but Ding Shi Ji will take care of it for us."

"Hey, isn't that just staying in an inn? It costs a lot of money! The inn is expensive when the peonies are in bloom. There are only four of you, why don't you just stay in our mansion."

"I've already passed your boat, why don't I have the cheek to go and stay at your house, then people outside will gossip about us." Yun Xuemei smiled lightly, and took her handbag from Madam Cui's hand without moving her face. With both hands, the movement range and etiquette are just right, showing a polite refusal attitude without making people feel uncomfortable.

With an idea, Qiao Yun waved at Wang Jinzhi and said, "Sister Azhi, come here."

Wang Jinzhi moved her ears closer.

Qiao Yun murmured in her ear for a while, then smiled and said, "How is it?"

Wang Jinzhi gave a thumbs up: "Interesting."

Then, she walked towards Mrs. Cui and said, "Mother, it's better to let them live outside."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Cui raised her eyebrows, and said angrily, "Didn't you get along well with Sister Qiao, and still push her away?"

Wang Jinzhi said: "Since sister Qiao wants to host my birthday banquet, it's better to live outside. If you live in our house from the beginning, it will inevitably be suspected of opportunism."

Mrs. Cui suddenly realized.

It does!

Although she doesn't care about the house, she also knows that whenever there is a big banquet in the mansion, the big kitchen is always very enthusiastic, and everyone from top to bottom can make a lot of money from it.At this moment, Qiao Yun stepped in and robbed them of their jobs. Wouldn't that mean cutting off people's fortunes?If she lived in the mansion, wouldn't it seem that Qiao Yun had been sneaking around for a long time in order to earn this money?
After suddenly realizing it, Mrs. Cui no longer wanted to stay.Qiao Yun and her team first found Ding Shi Ji, and then found a clean inn around it and opened two rooms.

Here, Wang Jinzhi and his party also returned to the palace.

The first thing she did after returning home was naturally to greet her grandmother and aunt. The two happened to be together, so Wang Jinzhi saved the effort of making two trips.

The old grandmother Zheng received Wang Jinzhi's kowtow, and smiled amiably: "That's right, after Ah Zhi returned to the ancestral house to add hairpin, her whole person looks different."

The wife of the big house, who is the wife of the housekeeper of the Wang family, Mrs. Li, also smiled and said: "Yes, our youngest son has finally grown into a big lady. This year's birthday party will be a big one, and I have already given it to her." Everyone has handed over the posts. Ah Zhi, do you have anything you want to eat? Just tell me, you are the little birthday star, and you are the biggest."

Wang Jinzhi pursed her lips, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Do you really want to do what Qiao Yun said?
Forget it, trust her this time.

Her gaze became firm, she took a deep breath, and said, "Auntie, I want to organize the birthday party myself."
