Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 66

There are secret doors for entry and exit in the place of fireworks, in case the tigress of those benefactors make trouble here.

At this time, Li Jingui was dressed as a servant, wearing a melon skin hat, and quietly left Hongxiuzhao among the crowd.

That night, she wandered around in the night market without daring to close her eyes. It wasn't until noon, when the crowds gradually increased, that she dared to head towards the south gate.

The mountains in Monan are high and the waters are far away, and Ulanara Suxian knows that she and Lan Qier are friends, so she will set an ambush on the way to Monan, she can't take the risk.

Now that the fourth elder brother is no longer here, what should she do? A place without him is not home to the end of the world.

I really want to go to the place where he left his footprints last, by the Qiantang River in Haining Prefecture, and take the children to see the place where he once stayed.

Now her body is not convenient to travel by land, so she can only take the water route, along the Tonghui River into the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and reach the Qiantang River Basin in just over a month.

When she came to the Tonghui River, she only found a small-scale boatman in the corner. The boatman was a pair of grandparents, and there was only a small wooden sign on the bow of the boat: The capital --- Haining Mansion.

"Grandpa, it looks like it's going to rain, when shall we go?"

The eight or nine-year-old boy is holding half-eaten candied haws on a skewer, and is looking forward to the shore.

"Boater, how much is the money to go to Haining Mansion?"

"Shenghui [-] Wen, let's set off at Shen Shi! Little lady can sit in the cabin for a while, and leave when everyone is ready~"

This small cabin can accommodate four or five people at most, and five people cost one tael of silver. Li Jingui took out nine hundred copper coins from his purse.

"Old man, nine hundred wen, let's go now, okay?"

"My sister married to Haining Mansion in the early years. Yesterday, my brother-in-law sent a letter saying that my elder sister might die soon. I have asked several families before and couldn't leave immediately. You should do it~"

"Sit tight, little brother, we're leaving now~"

Hearing this, the boatman didn't hesitate anymore, took the copper plate from Li Jingui's hand, and called his grandson to start lifting the anchor and punting the boat.

"Tang Liuying, go and charter a painting boat, I want to travel to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Young master, we protected her all the way here, and the tail behind her was also cut off."

Tang Liuying didn't dare to continue to say the following words, because Tang Haoqing's face showed a cold expression.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is an important link connecting the northern and southern borders. Along the way, there are large and small painting boats, singing and dancing.

That's fine, but she doesn't need to be careful of thieves. She gradually feels much better when she listens to those singing, dancing and playing music every day.

The grandpa and grandson were simple people, so she added a tael of silver, so the three meals were also provided by the boatman.

The fish and shrimps catch the freshest ingredients directly in the river, while the fruits and vegetables are only purchased after two or three days ashore. The food is very good.

Apart from having to go ashore to buy necessary supplies along the way, she almost stayed in the bed cabin without showing her face.

Moreover, the waterway was stable, and because of some seasickness, it took a lot of time to stop and go along the way, but the boatman did not show an expression of impatience.

On November [-]th, after a month and a half of journey, she finally arrived at Haining Mansion smoothly.

As soon as I landed, I saw a crowd of people, indistinctly many people were whispering to each other, and ran towards the bank of the Qiantang River at the same time.

"What's a good day today? Qiantang River tide? It's less than fifteen?"

"Oh, this little brother doesn't know something. Today's Qiantang River is much more lively than the day of the tide. Our Prince Highness from the Qing Dynasty has come~"
