Qin Rushuang's heart moved slightly. Her grandfather was in Jiangnan and she had not been back for many years.
Seeing the look of nostalgia flashing in Qin Rushuang's eyes, Xie Xun gently held her hand under the table and whispered: "If you want to go back, let's go together."
Hearing this, Qin Rushuang firmed up her eyes, raised her head and said to her fourth uncle, "I haven't been back for a long time. In this case, my fourth uncle will be troubled over there."
"No, no, it's the fourth uncle who wants to trouble the princess!"
When Qin Rushuang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then figured out the key.
Indeed, if you want to go to Jiangnan from around Kyoto, the fastest way is to take a ship from Toshi Shipping.
After going around and around, I finally made it easier for my fourth uncle.
The dinner was very late. The men drank more wine and chatted away. Xie Xun, for the rare occasion, did not pretend to be a prince and had a drink with his uncles.
Qin Rushuang only sat with them for a while, then she felt a little tired, so she went to rest alone.
She didn't know how long she had slept. Half asleep and half awake, Qin Rushuang felt the movement around her.
"Rushuang..."
Qin Rushuang was a little sleepy, closed her eyes and hummed, "The prince is back, hurry up and wash up and go to bed."
She closed her eyes and wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly there was an intoxicating aroma of wine coming from the tip of her nose, and there were all shuddering sounds from the quilt next to her.
Qin Rushuang was so disturbed that she lost her sleep, so she opened her eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Xie Xun's eyes.
Xie Xun must have drank a lot. The fresh aroma of wine mixed with the cold aroma of unknown spices on his body gave it an intoxicating smell.
"Rushuang..." He called Qin Rushuang again.
"Your Majesty drank too much."
"No. The wine here is not as strong as the one in the border area."
Some people have an indescribable desire to talk when they are tipsy. Qin Rushuang knew this, but he did not expect that Xie Xun was also such a person.
She persuaded Xie Xun to sleep several times, but Xie Xun always chatted with her about various things. Finally, Qin Rushuang completely woke up from her sleep and simply got up and leaned on the head of the bed.
"The prince said that the wine in the palace is not as strong as the wine in Bianguan. What kind of wine does Bianguan drink? What does the wine in Bianguan taste like?"
"The wine from Border Pass..." Xie Xun paused and looked into the distant distance, "The wine from Border Pass smells of blood..."
For the next time, the two chatted, and Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang shared a lot of their experiences at the border.
Although Qin Rushuang was very interested in border passes when she was young and paid close attention to the soldiers at border passes, the information she got came from books and other people's mouths. This was the first time she heard such direct information from Xie Xun.
Others describe the scenery of the border.
Xie Xun started talking about when he first arrived at the border and how he rose from a soldier to a general and then to a coach.
He talked with Qin Rushuang about the customs and customs at the border, and talked with Qin Rushu about the people at the border, the people of Daqi, the people of Dayan, and all the living beings at the border.
How many battles did he fight at the border, how he fought against the enemy with his soldiers, how he practiced...
Xie Xun spoke slowly, but Qin Rushuang listened attentively, until Xie Xun talked about the battle between Bianguan and Dayan.
Both of them fell into tacit silence.
Finally, it was Qin Rushuang who broke the silence.
"Go to rest early, Your Majesty. We will leave for Jiangnan tomorrow."
Xie Xun came to his senses, nodded and replied, "Yeah."
The two of them were lying together, covered with the same quilt, but their thoughts wandered to nowhere.
Early the next morning.
Qin Rushuang's sleep was interrupted by Xie Xun last night and she was a little nervous, but she had to hurry up if she wanted to set off.
After washing up, I went to the front yard, where my fourth uncle and Shen Xiaoyang were already waiting.
"Both you and the prince are not interesting enough. Just slap your butt and leave, leaving this mess of Zhou County to me alone!" Shen Xiaoyang's tone was a bit sad.
The fourth uncle patted Shen Xiaoyang on the head and said, "This is because the prince and princess value you and believe in your abilities. Please stay in Zhou County and do your work well for me!"
After speaking, he said to Qin Rushuang: "Is the princess ready?"
Qin Rushuang nodded: "Everything is ready, Your Majesty..."
When she woke up this morning, she didn't see Xie Xun.
The fourth uncle smiled and said: "Your Majesty got up early. I told him about some specialties of Zhou County. Some of them are delicious. Your Majesty went to buy them for you."
Qin Rushuang nodded, bid farewell to Shen Xiaoyang who was reluctant to leave, and left the house with her fourth uncle. After going out, she saw Xie Xun waiting beside the carriage.
Seeing Qin Rushuang coming, Xie Xun immediately stepped forward and helped Qin Rushuang board the carriage.
"The nearest ferry to Zhou County is half a day's journey away. You didn't sleep last night, okay? You can rest in the carriage for a while and we'll be there by noon."
Qin Rushuang nodded and got into the carriage with Xie Xun's help.
She really didn't have a good rest. The carriage was swaying, and after a while she felt sleepy. In her hazy consciousness, she felt as if she had fallen on Xie Xun.
Just as she was about to sit up despite her sleepiness, she felt a warm hand wrap around her shoulder, and Xie Xun's voice sounded next to her ear, "Go to sleep."
Fierce sleepiness came over her, and Qin Rushuang quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I had arrived at the ferry.
There is a docking station for Du's Shipping at this ferry. When the workers on the ship heard that Qin Rushuang was going to take the ship, they all waited aside and even packed some of the best cabins for them.
Qin Rushuang took a look after boarding the ship. The space was a bit small, but it was already the best. After all, Du Shi Shipping's main business was to transport cargo.
Several rooms were built in the cabin just for the convenience of the accompanying stewards. Since they arrived, the stewards had already moved to the workers' cabins.
Qin Rushuang has only been to the south of the Yangtze River once in her entire life, and that time she traveled by land, not by water.
She has also been on a boat, but it was just a painting studio in Kyoto. After a few laps around the lake, the boat docked. This was the first time she had built such a large boat.
Therefore, before today, Qin Rushuang did not know that she would get seasick.
