The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 80

The third day of October in the 16th year of Changping.

A gorgeous three-story ship slowly sailed away from Xinzhou Pier, Shi Chuying hugged Erfei, and stood quietly behind a window in the cabin on the second floor, watching the pier gradually going away, without saying a word for a long time .

The river connecting Xinzhou Wharf is called Luo’an River. It originates from the snow-capped mountains in the northwest of Dachu.So their boat began to go upstream after three days of going downstream, and the speed of the boat also slowed down significantly.

When the Luo'an River came from the west, the river was not wide, and the river was fast-moving, and the boats shook violently. Many people became seasick within a day after boarding the boat.Fortunately, Chu Xun was well prepared and brought a doctor with him, as well as a lot of herbs to prevent seasickness. After two or three days in a row, the smell of boiled herbs filled the boat, and everyone's seasickness symptoms began to ease.

With the flow of the river, many rivers of different sizes converged into the Luo'an River in the middle, and the river to the north also opened up a lot, and the water level gradually stabilized.

Maybe going north is related to going to the capital. There were only a few waterfowls occasionally flying over the river, and there were gradually more boats.From time to time, you can see ships flying the official flag or the flag of a certain mansion, and there are also many merchant ships passing by from south to north.

When it was time to stop halfway to replenish supplies, the owners of other ships would also find out that this high-ranking official ship was from the residence of the old general Zhenguo in the clan to welcome the relatives, and sent stewards or wives to greet or give gifts.

Now that Shi Chuying is still a girl to be married, Chu Xun will naturally deal with these matters.But he is very good at handling things, and he always remembers to let her know: what kind of person was sent by the so-and-so mansion, what gift was given, what kind of greeting was given, what is the general relationship between the two families, who is looking at when he walks around Love, etc., Shi Chuying is still grateful for his thoughtfulness, and let Li San write it down, so that he can refer to it in the future.

As we headed north, the weather became cooler, especially on the river. The servants had already wrapped up their jackets sooner or later. Although Shi Chuying was not cold, Yushu still found a cloak and put it on for her.

Now she is no longer as casual as she was on the mountain, she has to wear skirts fluttering all day long, and she has nothing to do to look like a beauty.Although she rolled her eyes inwardly, Yushu stared at her.

The days on the boat are the most boring. Don't tell others, Mu Hua is enough for the first time. It is a plant spirit, and it prefers to take it with plants.I was excited for a few days when I first boarded the ship, but after two or three days, there was no freshness, and I was listless all day long. In the end, Shi Chuying had to put it into a jade bottle and let it practice.

As for Erfei, as soon as he got on the boat, he took a tour of the three-story ship and circled around... Erfei has been busy all day, and he can only see its shadow when he eats and sleeps. Shi Chuying naturally understands it By nature, I just let Yuxue take care of it, and don't care about these things anymore.

And she herself arranges dowry management with Aunt Yue, Aunt Chen, Li San's family, and Li San and other stewards every day.

Aunt Yue said: "Xinli mansion is not as simple as allocating a yard in the old house, and we have to do everything by ourselves. I'm afraid we have to go there first when we get to Beijing, otherwise we will go there the day before we get married. But it’s not good if everything doesn’t go as planned. Especially our dowry is so complicated, I’m afraid the staff over there don’t know how to arrange a lot of things, so we have to come up with a plan in advance.”

Several other people also have this intention.Shi Chuying nodded, and said: "I also have the same idea. Let's divide it up now, and each person will take care of a share. Then there will be no confusion." He also asked Yushu to fetch the roster, and first divided the hands into several Dial, give Aunt Yue and several stewards respectively, and each steward assigns who will take care of what in detail.

It is appropriate to arrange for 3 or 5 days.These personal arrangements were also notified to Chu Xun, so that it would be convenient for him to contact here.

Boating on water is not as good as carriages and horses. There are post stations or inns for rest and recuperation. However, they often go to the nearest town and stop the boat to supplement their food, so they occasionally have the opportunity to relax under the boat.

Usually sailing on the water also has its own set of rules.

Generally speaking, unless it is a government or military ship, everyone will come first and then arrive in a single file.Those who were in a hurry, and the water channel was limited, asked other ships to give way and went first.This kind of thing is usually very measured and sent people to talk to each ship in front.

Of course, there are also a few people who rely on their high status to overwhelm others. Other ships can't afford to offend them, so they can only avoid it.If you are angry, you have to endure it in your stomach.

Shi Chuying and the others' boats were originally of high specifications, and they were flying the flag of the General Zhen's Mansion, as well as a big "Chu" embroidered with three-clawed flying dragon flags, all of which showed that this official ship was a member of the royal family. People, there is no need to deliberately do anything along the way, other boats will naturally avoid it.

However, there are exceptions.

Seeing that it was only two or three days away from the capital, Chu Xun ordered the boat to berth at the nearest town for supplies so that he could rush to the capital in the next few days, and he himself also got off the boat and went ashore to relax. .

I bought some specialty snacks in the town for the attendants to carry. As soon as Chu Xun stepped on the deck, he saw the second steward discussing something with a man who looked like a housekeeper.The second steward is an old man in the house, so he won't lower his status to quarrel with others.

Chu Xun was still holding a folding fan in his hand, at this moment he gently closed it, and raised his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

The two over there looked up when they heard the sound.
