Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 144

Because the third prince took a step first, and the errands were relatively tight, so the fourth prince didn't stop much along the way, and spent the rest of the day except eating and sleeping on the road.After walking for about five or six days, when we reached a county, Shen Junxiu let the carriage stop: "Xiao He, make preparations today, we will change to a bigger ship tomorrow."

"Going by boat?" Su Qinghe was taken aback, Shen Junxiu nodded, thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "It takes 24 days to go by dry road, let's go by boat, arrive early, make arrangements first, and rent a house What."

Su Qinghe saw that Shen Junxiu had three slightly bent fingers, and immediately understood what he meant.The third prince took a step ahead of time and arrived in the south of the Yangtze River about 20 days later. Since they are divided into two groups, it is best to stagger their arrival time.

Traveling by water is faster, they can arrive seven or eight days earlier than the third prince, and then take care of it.

"Okay, so do you want to buy something?" Su Qinghe nodded, thought for a while and asked again: "I don't know if anyone gets seasick, if so, we have to prepare some medicinal materials in advance, by the way, why don't we find a doctor take it?"

Shen Junxiu smiled and shook his head: "It's easy to find a doctor, but it's not so easy to find a doctor who is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, we don't know the doctor's medical skills if he is not familiar with the place, so we can't make too much noise now. It’s better to just get some medicinal materials.”

"Is there anyone who has walked through the waterway? Do you know what medicinal materials should be prepared?" Su Qinghe asked with a smile, but Shen Junxiu didn't know, so he turned to ask Wang Minggui, and then the housekeeper went down to ask.

"Master, Madam, there are a few guards who walked through the waterway. They said that there are only a few kinds of medicinal materials for seasickness, most of which are soothing." Wang Minggui returned soon: "Besides, if you go by water, you must first ask about the waterway. The channel is so narrow that big boats can’t walk through it.”

After Shen Junxiu listened to each one, he turned his head and discussed with Su Qinghe: "Later, you go to the pharmacy to ask the doctor to prescribe some medicinal materials, and I will look for a boat, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Su Qinghe nodded, and watched Shen Junxiu drive the horse to the other side, so she ordered the driver to find a nearby pharmacy.

This afternoon was basically spent preparing various things.When Shen Junxiu came back, Su Qinghe had already bought a lot of things, from medicinal materials to clothes, from drinking water to vegetables, rice noodles, and only needed to build a house.

"So many?" Shen Junxiu was a little surprised, and Su Qinghe nodded with a smile: "This is still a small amount. You can send a few people out to buy later. I asked the shopkeeper about it. If you go by water, if you take the spacious one, it's very easy." It’s possible that we won’t see a single town for ten days and half a month, so we need to make more preparations, or else the boat will suddenly run out of food halfway through, and that will be a disaster.”

Shen Junxiu poked Su Qinghe's forehead with a smile: "You can tell at a glance that you have never been on a boat. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. I have already explained clearly when I went to hire a boat just now. Whatever is used on the boat, I let you They are ready, we only need to pay the silver."

Su Qinghe curled her lips: "You have never been on a boat. Although I have never done it, I also know that the things prepared on the boat are somewhat rough. If we want to use them ourselves, we have to be more careful."

"Okay, okay, you're thoughtful, how many people do you want?" Shen Junxiu took a step back when he saw Su Qinghe's insistence, anyway, it's just a matter of a little money, so why not let it go?Big man, you don't have to quarrel with your wife over such a trivial matter.

"Well, four, two to buy rice and noodles, and two to buy vegetables and meat." Su Qinghe took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shen Junxiu. Seeing Shen Junxiu frowning, he quickly explained: "I didn't write it, I told the shopkeeper Written down."

Shen Junxiu frowned, and nodded with a smile: "Well, you should be more careful when you are away from home. Don't spread your pen and ink." It's not that Su Qinghe's reputation will be damaged, but that this handwriting will be copied by others, and then published anything please.

Su Qinghe smiled and nodded: "Well, I know."

Shen Junxiu went out again and called a few guards over, handed them the list, and gave orders before returning.The waiter in the shop has already delivered the food. After eating, it is still early. It is only noon now, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, and there is still half a day left.

"Master, let's go out for a walk?" Su Qinghe walked around twice, digested the contents of her stomach, and hugged Shen Junxiu's arm to act like a baby. She had been riding in a carriage for several days, and she was always If you are in a hurry, even if you encounter a town, unless it is for accommodation, you will only send people to buy meals, and the rest of the time you will just go around.

It can be said that she has not seen the bustling crowd in this period of time.

"We've been driving for a few days, aren't you tired? Why don't you take a good rest while you have half a day." Seeing Su Qinghe's flattering smile, Shen Junxiu immediately thought of teasing him, and shook his head in disapproval: "It's hard work by boat. Yes, if you don't get used to it, then there will be no rest time."

"Sanggong, why don't you go out for a stroll, I'm in good health and I'm not tired." Su Qinghe blinked her eyes, trying to make herself look more cute: "Go, go, I've never gone shopping with Xianggong before. "

Shen Junxiu hesitated, but when Su Qinghe saw that there was a door, she quickly reached out and hugged Shen Junxiu's neck, turning herself into a koala and hanging on Shen Junxiu's body: "Sir, this county looks quite prosperous, you don't want to see the people in this county How is life? Let's be an imperial envoy secretly, shall we?"

Shen Junxiu pinched Su Qinghe's cheek sullenly: "Nonsense, can you be an imperial envoy casually?"

Su Qinghe stuck out her tongue and swayed from side to side: "Go, brother Junxiu~"

Shen Junxiu moved his fingers to Su Qinghe's nose, pinched it twice: "Are you really not tired?"

"Not tired, not tired." Su Qinghe shook his head quickly, Shen Junxiu looked puzzled: "Then what should I do, I'm very tired now, why don't you go by yourself later? I sent someone to follow you, okay?"

Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and immediately became anxious: "Brother Junxiu is tired? Brother Junxiu, I'm so sorry, I'm so self-willed, I didn't realize that you were tired, and even made trouble with you for a long time."

As he spoke, he pushed Shen Junxiu to go inside: "Brother Junxiu, hurry up and lie down on the bed, I will accompany you, I will not go shopping. You can go shopping at any time, but brother Junxiu is very tired, I You must accompany brother Junxiu."

"It's not necessary, I can sleep alone for a while." Shen Junxiu tried his best to control the smile on his face, while walking inside, he turned his head to look at Su Qinghe: "Go shopping by yourself, I'm fine."

"Brother Junxiu wants to drive me away?" Su Qinghe looked sad, Shen Junxiu waved his hand quickly, Su Qinghe smiled again: "Then brother Junxiu doesn't need to say more, go in and rest quickly, I suddenly feel a little tired right now Alright, let's go rest together."

Shen Junxiu watched Su Qinghe busy around, making the bed and putting pillows, without calling Yunjuan and Yunduo to help.Inexplicably, there is a sense of humor in my heart, but also a bit of warmth, I just feel that this is the way a couple is.

"Let's go, let's go outside." Seeing that Su Qinghe was about to rummage through clothes, Shen Junxiu hurriedly held her back, and Su Qinghe turned around: "No, Brother Junxiu, take off your clothes first, I'll be fine in a while."

Shen Junxiu smiled and pulled her: "Okay, I'm not tired now, let's go out for a stroll?"

Su Qinghe turned her head in doubt, and carefully looked at Shen Junxiu's face. He was tired for a while, and he was not tired for a while, so don't be sick.Shen Junxiu showed a row of white teeth: "Xiao He, I'm really fine. I just ate too much, so I was a little sleepy. I thought it would be better if I went for a walk."

"Really?" Su Qinghe asked with her head tilted, Shen Junxiu nodded, and pulled Su Qinghe outside: "Of course it's true, let's go, time waits for no one, we only have this afternoon, what do you want to buy ? Clothes and jewelry?"

"Well, I didn't think about it." Seeing that Shen Junxiu was really energetic, Su Qinghe also realized that he might have lied to him before, but there was nothing to expose, anyway, he had already agreed to go shopping with him at this moment.

"Sir, why don't we go to worship Buddha?" After walking on the street for a while, Su Qinghe suddenly suggested that Shen Junxiu was a little surprised: "Worship Buddha?"

"Well, there's nothing to buy." Su Qinghe sighed: "These things are just so-so. If it's made to order, the time is too late. Besides, I don't need it either. Or, let's go to the bookstore?"

Shen Junxiu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the bookstore first, and then find out which temple in this county is better. Let's ride there directly later."

However, the two of them were not familiar with this place. They just wanted to go to the bookstore, but they didn't know where the largest bookstore was, so they had to ask someone again.Because the distance was a bit far, he simply went back to the inn, took a carriage and went out again.

"I haven't seen this book in any bookstore in the capital." As soon as Su Qinghe entered the bookstore, she immediately went to the travel notes to look for it. Shen Junxiu came over and looked at the name: "Well, buy it if you like it. I still have quite a few travel notes of this kind in my study, you can look for them in the study when you get back."

After being married for so many days, Su Qinghe has never been to Shen Junxiu's study.This is not a matter of walking a distance, but represents trust and acceptance.

Su Qinghe's brows and eyes blossomed with a smile: "Okay, then Mr. Don't dislike me for getting in the way."

Shen Junxiu nodded, took out a book from the side, flipped through it for a while, then turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Is this book a set? Are there any others?"

"Yes, guest officer and so on." The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and ordered Xiaoer to go to the backyard to issue an edict.

The husband and wife browsed for a long time in the bookstore, one picked five or six books, and the other picked a dozen or so.When paying the bill, it cost 50 taels of silver for just sixteen books.Su Qinghe clicked her tongue in amazement, but Shen Junxiu was not surprised.

When they came out of the bookstore, it was getting late. They had inquired about a famous monastery in the county before, but it turned out that the monastery was outside the city.If they passed by now, they would definitely not be able to make it back at night.

Tomorrow they had to hurry, so the two of them simply canceled the itinerary.On the way back to the inn, they heard that there was a night market on the road, and both of them became interested, so they turned around and went to the night market again.
