    Yinlou is indeed a young man with a short-sightedness. He thinks that the boat going south is just a small boat wandering in the mountains and rivers. How lonely and poetic!  In fact, no, the governor is the governor after all. No matter how the real power changes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and ostentation is still indispensable.

    The weather was very good on the day we boarded the ship. The group took a sentry ship out of Chaoyang Gate and changed to a treasure ship when they arrived at Tianjin Wei.  Under the blue waves and blue sky, I saw a huge thing parked on the pier from a distance. The prow of the ship was as high as the stern of the ship, and it was four stories high.  There is a huge tiger head relief on the front of the bow, phoenix paintings on both sides, and a roc bird spreading its wings on the stern.  When a person stands on land and looks up, he can only see the side of the boat. If he were to board the boat, he would not know what the scene would be like.

    Seeing the sound tower watching, Cao Chuang came over and said with a smile: "Our ancestors have never walked on the waterway, right? This kind of ship is called a fortune ship along the coast of Fujian. It can sail long distances and fight. It was used by Zheng He on his voyages to the West. This ship is  It has a pointed bottom, deep draft, nine masts and twelve sails. It sails smoothly and can withstand wind and waves. I heard it is forty feet long and sixteen feet wide. The anchor alone weighs a thousand kilograms!"

    Yinlou nodded and said: "It's very big. I've never been on a boat. This time, it's thanks to the factory officials."

    Tong Yun asked from the side: "Little Eunuch Cao, are you coming with us?"

    Cao Chuangang said: "The governor is going to the south of the Yangtze River. As my godson, I don't serve him personally. Isn't it justified in both emotion and reason?" He bowed to Yinlou and said, "The governor informed the slaves before he left. Our ancestors are on board the ship."  Just give orders to your slaves for all expenses. Most of the retinues going south this time are Dongchang fans. Our ancestors must not walk around casually. Those people are careless and reckless. If a mistake offends our ancestors, the governor will ask the slaves for their sins."

    Dongchang is different from the Lijian in that only the admiral is a eunuch, and the stalls and servants below are carefully selected from the top of the Jinyiwei. They are all solid and real men.  Sailing in the canal, passing through Cangzhou and arriving at Zhenjiang, would take at least a month. The governor gave this order, probably because he was afraid that Princess Duan would get into contact with a man and cause some trouble.  He clicked his tongue and sighed. He didn't know how much thought his godfather had put into this. The trouble was that the emperor chose the person first. Otherwise, he would be a housekeeper and grandma in the palace, and his godfather would have someone to keep him company for the rest of his life.  .

    No matter how powerful a person is, he still relies on his wife and children to keep him warm.  Whenever you encounter some setbacks outside, or if you are worried about something in your heart, if you don't tell the person next to you, who will you tell?  One cannot hold it in for a long time, otherwise it will break down.  If someone with the talent and demeanor of his godfather was complete, he wouldn't be surprised at how many women lined up for him to choose from!

    Yinlou looked forward, and saw Xiao Duo standing at the ferry wearing an official robe. The wind near the water was stronger than elsewhere. It roared and rolled over, blowing the corners of his robe and raising it high.

    After putting a wooden ladder down from the boat, Yan Sunlang and several people who were seeing him off bowed and said, "Have a good trip, Lord Governor."

    Xiao Duo hummed, lifted his robe and went up the steps. After walking a few steps, he glanced back and said, "Don't ask me if you can make up your mind. Remember to be bold and careful, and don't try to be brave."

    Yan Sunlang said: "From Beijing to Nanjing, a flying pigeon should be able to reach Nanjing in one day. The subordinates dare not make their own decisions. They must ask the governor for instructions on everything."

    His words were half true, half false, and half tempting. No matter how much he relied on someone, he would never dare to follow the meaning of the riddle 100% of the time. He would have to think twice before he dared to reply.  Xiao Duo was satisfied with what he heard, and then raised his head and thought for a while, "I have heard about the things in your house. I would like to advise you, after all, you are a person from the palace, so you should save some dignity, not only for her, but also  Do it for your own good.¡±

    Yan Sunlang was startled, looked up at him, and then quickly lowered his eyes.  I didn't expect that he would pay attention to the affairs in his house. Li Mei and Concubine Duan were getting close, so it was expected that the news was leaked here.  He felt a little ashamed and bowed in response, "My subordinate made a mistake and made the governor laugh. I really have no face to see the governor."

    He raised his lips and smiled, "There are still bumps between teeth and tongue. This kind of thing is inevitable between husband and wife. Just reflect on yourself in the future." Just as Yinlou came over, he stopped talking and held the handrail to get on the boat.

    The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is a golden waterway, and all water transportation depends on it.  The treasure ship raised its anchor, puffed up its sails, and left the harbor to the south.  Yinlou originally wanted to take a look at the bow of the ship, but when he got on the deck and looked around, he was surrounded by people in rich clothes and swords, so he had no choice but to give up.  He and Cao Chuan entered the cabin at the back. The curtains inside were heavy and the fine wood furniture was elegant. It was no different from a bedroom on land.

    She asked Cao Chuang, "Where is the governor's cabin?"

    Cao Chunang pointed pointedly, "It's separated from your cabin by a wall. If you knock on the wooden board here, he can hear it." After saying this, he touched his knees and said, "The waterway is very long, and there are several times when boats stop and dock.  By then, our ancestors will be able to move their muscles and bones. The first few days are unbearable, and it doesn¡¯t matter if our ancestors have a headache or a fever. There is an imperial doctor on board, who will be here whenever he is told.?Not much left, I don¡¯t want to vomit anymore.  "

    He retracted his hand and still tucked up her clothes, and Tongyun brought the medicine to feed her. He stood aside and watched her finish drinking it, and then said: "I have already stopped talking on the other side of Yan Shaojian. He is a person who knows how to be measured. He wants to do something like this."  It won¡¯t happen again, so I can rest assured.¡±

    This is unexpected good news. Yinlou had complained to Tongyun just now, but he didn't know that he had already done it quietly.  She folded her hands on the couch and said, "It's hard for me to be a factory official. In fact, I know that the request is a bit too much. I am so worried about other people's affairs. I am really a poor person to worry about. You give me face, and I am grateful to you. Look at me like this now,  I don¡¯t have the strength to speak, so I can only thank you solemnly after waiting.¡±

    He exchanged a few pleasantries and left without staying long. He was worried that there would be many people on the day, so he was overly concerned and would arouse suspicion.

    Yinlou has always been strong and healthy, but this time he felt seasick as if he was suffering from a serious illness. He hadn't eaten a grain of rice all day, so he moved from the couch to the bed, curled up with a thin quilt and fell asleep.

    The last trace of afterglow disappeared in the sky, and the window gradually darkened. I don¡¯t know how many miles the boat had traveled, and the ship dropped anchor at a bend.  There are at least two to three hundred people on this boat, and eating is a big deal.  The cook moved the stove to light a fire on the deck to cook rice, and the spatulas pinged with each other. As the water waves beat against the side of the ship, she thought of the life in the countryside while she was half asleep.  On the long stone street, there were sounds of neighbors washing rice and splashing water in the morning.

    It was noisy outside, but far away, the cabin was still quiet.  Suddenly, I heard a loud sound coming from the direction of the sleeper against the wall, slowly, one long and one short.  She raised her body and listened carefully. Cao Chunang had said that if you knock on the wall here, you can hear it there. She lay down again, unable to explain clearly, feeling as though she was missing something.  She reached out to touch the tung oil-coated wooden board, and there was another clicking sound, a continuous vibration, hitting her fingertips.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
