Early in the morning, the pier in Yuliang Town became noisy.≤, this is the main waterway from Hui merchants to Huizhou, which is even busier than land. When there are the most ships, thousands of sails compete and hundreds of boats compete. Therefore, there are many merchants on the pier, and there are many families coming to see them off. More are the coolies who help transport luggage, unload and load goods. These people have been scattered here all year round, and because of the need to take on work, they are often divided into several groups of people, with the most vicious eyes, and you can see who can give the most generous wages at a glance.

At this moment, when someone saw a group of people with cars, horses, luggage and entourage appearing on the dock, there were more than twenty people who could see from outside, and they had to surround them to take on work. Especially when they noticed that the direction of the pedestrian was the largest two-story pleasure boat on the dock, there were more coolies who recommended themselves. You should know that compared to the canal waterway, the waterway from Yanzhou Prefecture to Hangzhou was deeper and wider, so it could also drive a larger boat. But most of the time, except for the richest merchants, most Hui merchants took those low single-stove boats, so the travel expenses could be saved a lot.

When a group of carriages stopped in front of the two-story pleasure boat, people gradually got off the carriage, and there were even female members wearing curtains. The coolies were blocked because a middle-aged fat man who came down from a carriage behind stood in front of them with a arrogant aura.

"What's the point of arguing? Just ten people are strong, talk less and work more. Even the top ten of you, the rest are dispersed!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Xingzhe, a fat grain merchant. He quickly cut the mess and picked up ten people, but he didn't think he was wide-body and fat, and walked around under the boat panting. He carefully supervised a group of coolies to transport the gifts upwards. He was in charge of a stall with Wu Xingcai, who was above. Until he was sure that all the luggage had been delivered, he felt relieved and took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead, which was sweating in the cold weather. At this moment, a bamboo tube was handed over next to him. He turned his head in surprise and saw that it was Wang Fulin, and his mouth immediately showed a diligent smile.

"How dare you bother the little officials?"

"You snatched up the things I should have been busy with. How can I not comfort you?" Thinking of the surprise that Wu Xingcai and Zhang Xingzhe knew that Mrs. Su and his daughter were going to travel with each other. Now they are so attentive. Those who don't know think that it is the family of the magistrate of Xiuning County, not the family of She County, Wang Fulin couldn't help but smile knowingly, "This is what I bought from the inn there. I drank it to moisten my throat and then got on the boat."

Wang Fulin had already asked Yu Wen, a young man who followed him to Hangzhou to settle the wages of the coolies. He went to the tavern to see what food was suitable for food on the road. He found that it was far inferior to the cooked dishes prepared by Liu Hong and Aunt Zhang, the magistrate's magistrate, so he only brought some hot drinks. After all, he could boil water after boarding the boat, but there was no hot one to drink. Zhang Xingzhe thanked him repeatedly. He really felt that his throat was dry and smoked. After drinking two sips, he found it was sweet soup. He was even happier, and he ate it clean in a few seconds. Now all the consumption before seemed to have been made up.

The two of them were on the boat last. Because of the mixed crowds of people in Yuliang Town, Wang Fulin did not ask his family to come and see him off. Of course, Ye Xiaopang was left at home and left his mother and sisters to return home. Ye Xiaopang was very resentful. However, Ye Junyao used some tricks to participate in the county examination together, and of course it was not included in the ranking. So, when he thought of Ye Xiaopang's resentful eyes before, Wang Fulin couldn't help laughing. After getting on the boat at this moment, he watched the boatman drive the boat, and he went around again and confirmed that there was no abnormality. After a while, he arrived at the second floor.

Wu Xingcai, Zhang Xingzhe, Yu Wen and other men all live on the first floor, and the second floor is divided into three cabins, Mrs. Su and two servants, Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei take two girls and one room. As for himself, because Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei let Aheng follow him, he had to reluctantly accept a quiet and honest follower who was serving himself clothes, serving tea and water. However, in terms of the size of the room, he lived the most spacious.

Walking down the corridor, he saw Yu Wen quickly approaching him. Two servants stood at the door of one of the cabins, so he walked straight forward.

"Little official, the lady and the two ladies are inside."

After Wang Fulin nodded, he still knocked on the door and reported that he had just entered. The weather was not yet spring, and the house was still burning with charcoal, but the turbid air was discharged outside through the smoke pipe. This is also the reason why this pleasure boat is called one of the best passenger ships in Huizhou. If it were him alone, it would not be so silly to go to Hangzhou. However, Ye Junyao, the county magistrate, wanted to send his family back to his hometown, and the most respected wife and the most beloved daughters, would not make people feel wronged, so he rented this pleasure boat. At this moment, he entered the warm cabin from the wet outdoors and found that Mrs. Su was sitting in the middle, while Xiaobei was lying against the window with his back facing him, and Ye Mingyue was beside him.

"Xiaobei was seasick." Mrs. Su directly pierced the window paper. Seeing that the little girl turned her head pale, she seemed to be trying to show off her strength to refute her. She said angrily, "Am I wrong? I thought about the canal that you walked along the way from Beijing to Hangzhou. You were still seasick, let alone the current waterway. I said, although the old lady is kind, there are many people with bad intentions. I just need to take Mingyue back. You have to follow."

Seeing that Xiaobei had no time to speak, Wang Fulin pressed his chest and lay on the window and couldn't move. He was angry and funny. Just looking at the little girl climbing on the horse and climbing the wall, he could catch rabbits with flying knives. He could not imagine that she would be seasick! He once again admired Mrs. Su's behavior. After all, the authoritative and supreme mother-in-law summoned these days, but she was still ready to take Ye Mingyue back only, and her confidence, not afraid of being criticized, was incomparable. Looking at the poor Xiaobei, he thought for a while, and finally said, "Let's do this, I'll ask the boatman to make some hot and sour soup, which may be able to relieve seasickness a little."

"It's really useful?" But in this short time, Xiaobei, who turned his head again, looked very embarrassed. His face turned blue and white, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing Wang Fulin stretching out three fingers and making gestures, he then saluted Mrs. Su, and then went out. She leaned weakly in Ye Mingyue's arms, "How could I think it would be so serious that I couldn't hold on after driving the boat for a while."

"It's because you're so tight that you're tense after you get on the boat. Too nervous can make you seasick," Ye Mingyue dragged Xiaobei to the soft couch and forced someone to lie down. Then she smiled, "Wang Xiaoguanren is the best at eating it. Since he said that the hot and sour soup is useful, it will definitely be useful."

If Wang Fulin knew that Ye Mingyue had such high expectations for him, he would definitely be ashamed of it. When he arrived at the small kitchen on the first floor, he remembered that he brought peppers, not peppers! Peppers were not so picky about the climate and environment, but peppers were different. They were always regarded as expensive spices and were definitely not found everywhere. But the words were already said, and he had to instruct the chef to make a hot and sour soup that used peppers instead of peppers. The eggs were brought with him, but the tofu shredded tofu was a bit difficult, so he could only let the chef do whatever he wanted.

When such a steaming soup was delivered to the second floor, Xiaobei held it in his hand almost as a magic pill, and did not feel it was hot, so he gave it to it in big mouthfuls with a spoon. She had eaten the dishes cooked by Wang Fulin before, and had also tried the chili mutton dumplings and fresh spicy mutton soup she had given before the New Year, so she was very accustomed to the sour and sour taste at this moment. After drinking a large bowl, she felt that the boredom in her chest had been greatly relieved, and the irrepressible urge to vomit seemed to be less serious, and she was surprised and happy for a moment.

“It really works!”

Now even Ye Mingyue was dumbfounded. But when she saw Wang Fulin's angry and funny expression, she woke up. Xiaobei hadn't slept well last night since she got on the boat. She was even more nervous when she got on the boat. Obviously, half of the seasickness was nervous. Now, this bowl of soup is not a magic pill, but more than half of it is psychological. Thinking of this, she winked at Wang Fulin: "Besides hot and sour soup, what else can cure seasickness?"

When Wang Fulin heard the song and knew the elegance, he immediately said seriously: "Of course there are many, such as chewing some ginger, drinking some vinegar, and containing two sour plums. In short, how could the second lady of the Ye family, who can climb walls, ride horses, and shoot flying knives, be seasick?"

Mrs. Su was amused by Wang Fulin's tone. Seeing Xiaobei straightened up and looked dissatisfied. Wang Fulin smiled and bowed and left, she smiled and said, "Did you hear it? Whether it is ginger, vinegar, or sour plum, you don't have to go to the kitchen, they are all ready-made. Since you insist on going to Ningbo, don't think about a little seasickness. After you go back, you're afraid that too many things will exhaust you."

A wall was separated by the room of Mrs. Su and others. No one had any objection to this arrangement. Wang Fulin didn't want to let himself go down and squeeze with others, but when he was in the middle of the room, he realized that the partition made of wooden boards could not be separated at all. For example, he had just entered the room and had not yet said a few words to Ah Heng, and then he heard Mrs. Su teasing Xiaobei. Then, Xiaobei and Ye Mingyue joked, laughing, and Mrs. Su's voices explaining the troublesome relatives of the Ye family... He could hear clearly that he had to consider whether to go to Wu Xingcai or someone else's place to kill time.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Mrs. Su's voice coming from next door.

"When I look back in Hangzhou and meet someone who comes to pick us up, remember that if you say that the master is struggling in She County, he is being slapped by big families everywhere. Never publicize any of his political achievements, do you understand?"

"Mom, are you afraid that the aunts and aunts in the family will be so proud of their father in She County and come to fight for the autumn wind?" This was Xiaobei's voice.

"I will not come to Shexian County by simply fighting Qiufeng. I am afraid that they will make other ghost ideas. In short, I am not afraid of being sarcastic, but I am afraid of being soft. If you can't handle it, I will push it to me!" Mrs. Su paused a moment, and then said solemnly, "There is nothing more, mention Wang Fulin so that no one will think of anyone!"

Hearing this, Wang Fulin couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. What kind of virtues do those relatives of the Ye family have to let the powerful Mrs. Su guard it so hard?
