The flat-bottomed sand boats on the river are slightly smaller than those on the sea, but they look very tall, with the bow and stern square, and there are guardrails on both sides of the wings. They are very heavy and heavy.
Because Su Mingwu felt novel, she jumped back and forth on the bow deck for half a day. The river was narrower than the sea and the waves were less windy. Fu Luan saw that she was having fun and did not stop her. Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long, and she vomited that night and looked depressed.
Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, the wind was smooth, and the original five-day trip was shortened to more than three days. Su Mingwu hung half on Fu Luan, and followed the boat to Wuzhou, the northernmost edge of the Yangtze River. .
On the carriage back to the private house, Lu Ying hugged the princess who was leaning on her shoulder. She felt extremely distressed and said with a frown: "Princess, you haven't been this uncomfortable since you returned to Liangzhou from Jinghua last time. I think you are Not too tired."
"may be"
Su Mingwu didn¡¯t have much strength and felt it was strange. She had never been so afraid of the cold and bumps before, and the boat didn¡¯t encounter any wind or waves this time. She didn¡¯t understand why she was so weak recently.
"Lv Ying, have you finished drinking the fragrant tea?"
"Princess, there is still half a can left. When we get to the house, my servant will cook it for you."
Su Mingwu nodded and continued to lean on Lu Ying. She had been relying solely on fragrant tea for the past two days to refresh herself. The aroma made her feel comfortable and calm for some reason. She felt a little missed after not drinking for a while
The private house in Wuzhou is located in a busy city. It is a medium-sized house with the most common style of two-entry courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River.
Facing the street facing east, it is divided into two courtyards, the front and the back. After entering the archway, the front courtyard is surrounded by verandas, including the study room and the reception hall. The back house is for the female family members. Through the hanging flower door, you can see the main house and the east and west wing rooms. .
The carriage stopped just before nightfall. Due to her physical discomfort, Su Mingwu was carried directly from the car into the main room by Fu Luan. After being helped by Lu Ying to bathe herself, Su Mingwu lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Su Mingwu woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. She had been dizzy for days, but she finally felt comfortable today.
Green Ying finished twisting the handkerchief in the copper basin with a wooden frame at the door of the room, then trotted over and handed it over, "Princess, how do you feel now? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"
Su Mingwu took the handkerchief to cleanse the noodles and said unhappily: "Don't make a fuss. I'm just not used to riding on boats. I saw the doctor and I had to take medicine, so I don't want it."
She drank so much decoction in her previous life that she was afraid of drinking it and didn¡¯t want to see it again.
"Oh yes"
Lu Ying said, "By the way, Princess, after the prince came back, he was discussing things with others in the study. He came to see you last night. The princess was asleep at that time, so the servant didn't shout."
Su Mingwu picked up the wooden tooth set and paused slightly, "Is the prince still in the study?"
"That should be the case. There are a lot of people coming to visit, and they all go through the back door."
"Um."
"Princess, do you want to see the prince?"
"Need not."
Fu Luan has his own business to do, so she can't stick to him all the time. Besides, she also has something to do herself.
After Su Mingwu finished washing, she raised her head and said, "Lu Ying, finish your breakfast quickly and go to Huo Dao to ask for a horse and carriage, and a driver. Just tell me that I'm going out today."
"Yes, Princess."
Wuzhou is located relatively north of the south of the Yangtze River. Because Su Mingwu¡¯s great-grandfather, the Hu family, lived in the north of the Yangtze River, she was taken around by her uncle and aunt when she was a child, so she probably has some impressions of it.
The most lively long road facing the inner river of the city is called Suimian Street. The shimmering water alley, the wooden boats slowly passing by with paddles, and the houses with green tiles and white walls facing each other across the river. Every scene is beautiful when you look closely.
Su Mingwu turned her wrist and lowered the crepe of the car window. Looking further, she was afraid that she would have to stop the carriage and go for a stroll.
In the carriage, Lu Ying approached Su Mingwu and whispered: "Princess, we are too slow, we really might as well go down and walk."
""
"Mr. Fang, how long does it take to reach the end of the street?"
The old butler of the private house in Wuzhou was an old man with a white beard. He drove the carriage slowly, turned around and smiled: "Madam, hurry up, it's right in front of you."
Su Mingwu was also helpless. Fu Luan was usually easy to talk to her, but he was too possessive. The driver assigned to her was either a eunuch like Li Taiqing or an old man in his sixties or seventies.
She always felt that if Lu Jingshan hadn't happened to be older, Fu Luan would not have let her run the business.
¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble Mr. Fang.¡±
¡°Madam, you are too polite, no trouble, no trouble!¡±
Mr. Fang gently whipped his whip, and the old horse??Tan, you're here to fight for the shop, why don't you pay some money for the charcoal? "
Chen Laosan picked up the abacus, punched it, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Brother Liu, what do you think of this number? If there are more, there will be no food for the five mouths in the family."
"Okay, it's settled."
Su Mingwu took the opportunity to listen for a while and understood. It turned out that this person was not a clerk of the Xiong family, but a helper who only solicited business. He did not have a guaranteed monthly salary and made money from the jobs he received. No wonder he was better than Others are dedicated.
After leaving the door, when there was no one else around, Su Mingwu smiled and asked: "Chen Laosan, why do you want to rely on the Xiong family? Have the Lu family tried it?"
Most of the women who are willing to show their faces to consign the goods are in charge of the family, and it is easy to understand what he does at a glance. Chen Laosan did not hide it, he said bluntly: "The Lu family can't do it against the Xiong family. His family's behavior is too old-fashioned and loyal. , just talking about the compensation for the sunken ship, it was reasonable even if no compensation was paid at that time, why did we have to ask outsiders to take shares in the end."
People in the industry have heard that the head of the Lu family managed to keep his job only by finding a wealthy man to join him.
"The most important thing is that the boat can't make any money. You said that I have to pay 60 to 70% for each order. If I change the boat, how will the whole family live?"
"I know, I have a conclusion and I will ask my maid to inform you."
"Yes, thank you, madam. Madam, please go slowly."
Su Mingwu chuckled lightly, turned around and went to the next door.
This time she went in and revealed her identity directly. She originally came to the shop to check the current carrying capacity of the ship, so that she could send the most accurate situation to Ye Zhefeng to see how many medicinal materials were needed to upgrade it to a large ship. She would also have an idea of ??the future scale of medicine transportation. There is an estimate.
When Su Mingwu walked out of the door, she was still thinking that in the Lu family, although she only wanted dividends, she still needed her own informants. After all, she could not travel far away often, and the clerks trained by the Lu family would not be completely honest with her.
She needs to find a helper similar to Ye Zhefeng in shipping, and Chen Laosan, whom she accidentally met today, seems to be a good fit.
The man was familiar with the river, but he was not his opponent, and he was not familiar with the Lu family
***
Su Mingwu was in a good mood after finishing all her thoughts, and took Lu Ying for a walk on Suimian Street.
There were not many pedestrians on the road. When they stepped on the quaint stone road, the fallen leaves would creak. The housekeeper, Lao Fang, walked six or seven feet behind them, not too far or too close, and not disturbing.
There are many shops along the way, many of which have high-quality jade and gold ornaments. Every time Su Mingwu looked at them, she would shake her head because she either thought they were too tacky or the styles were not beautiful and she couldn¡¯t find what she liked.
After Luying accompanied her to five stores, she asked, "Princess, do you want to buy it as a gift?"
"Um."
Su Mingwu entered the jewelry store, picked up the silver ring, and replied absently: "I want to buy an accessory for the prince."
"To say it's a gift is just superficial rhetoric.
Su Mingwu thought about this matter for a long time. She wanted to give Fu Luan something that he would normally carry with him. Moreover, it had to be clearly from a woman, so that he would think of her when he saw it, and the woman next to him would be surprised to see it. retreat.
There are always so many moths attracted to the flame around him. In this world, men are not the only ones who can have the desire to be exclusive. She can also have it.
Lu Ying said sadly: "But the princess, even the servants know that, the prince does not need to decorate."
"yes."
Su Mingwu delayed it until now because Fu Luan usually didn't like to wear even the simplest jade pendant. His appearance was very handsome, and he really didn't need any other embellishments. Too much would even be redundant.
Then what else can she buy? The accessories to prove her love are nothing more than jade pendants, sachets, and combs
"Princess, you can try out the taste first and see which one the prince likes more!"
Su Mingwu lowered her eyes and thought about it for a long time. Well, that's okay Even if Fu Luan doesn't like it, she can still choose someone taller among the short ones and choose someone he can barely accept.
Thinking of this, she turned around and waved to the old man, "Mr. Fang, let's go back!"
