After two consecutive days on the boat, Xiang Yaer had to massage her head every night before she could fall asleep.
The sound of the boatman's horn, the sound of water being poured for washing and cooking, the sound of movement on the board... Lu Fenghe slowly woke up. He hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, and he had no sleep all night.
After being in a daze for a moment, Lu Fenghe remembered that he was on a boat returning to Piling.
"Is the girl awake?" Xiang Yaer's voice came from outside.
Lu Fenghe opened the curtain and said, "Wake up."
Lu Fu and two women came in quickly carrying water for washing.
Lu Fu directed her mother-in-law to put down the water, hang up the bed curtains, and wait for the shoes and socks on the landing Fenghe boat.
"Sister Sanniang just said that we will arrive at Jinling around noon, and we will stop at the port tonight."
"So fast, we're almost at Jinling?"
"How can it be faster? We are sailing day and night. The third lady said that Jinling is not as good as other places and we still need to stop for half a day. Several gentlemen have something to do when they get off the boat. I am afraid that I will receive greetings today and there will be people on the boat tomorrow.
.”
Lu Fenghe hummed, "Since we have to stop, you guys will go to the pier for a walk. Remember not to go too far and get back to the ship safely."
I don’t know whether it will stop in Jiangbei or Jiangnan.
Lu Fenghe remembers that when she was a child, she often took the boat to Jinling to visit relatives. Her favorite stop was in Jiangbei. There were not as many people in Jiangbei as in Jiangnan, but the small stalls in Jiangbei were more delicious and were set up by locals in Pukou. However, because of the large population in Jiangnan,
There are many people setting up stalls from all over the world, and some of the flavors are really not acceptable to Lu Fenghe.
Sure enough, Sanniangzi had predicted well. As soon as the ship docked at the pier, servants from several houses asked to be put on the ship. Some asked Lang Jun to submit their proposals, and some directly submitted them to the Zhao family. Even Lu Fenghe received them.
Two greetings.
The two letters Lu Fenghe received were from his childhood playmate Yang Jiawei Jiaojiao who married to Jinling City, and the other was from Guo, the wife of Mr. Fan, the current governor of Yingtian Prefecture.
Lu Fenghe really didn't know the governor of Yingtian Mansion, let alone his wife Guo.
It's just that the governor is considered a military commander, so he directly handed the message to her, probably for the sake of the Shen family's face. Even if she and Shen Nanxun wanted to reconcile, they could walk outside, and with this face, Lu Fenghe would not be completely disrespectful.
Give.
Naturally, both posts were accepted.
Although the evening meal is actually used on the ship, it is the banquet sent by the most famous Wangjiang Tower.
Only at night, Lu Silang came to Lu Fenghe's room.
"Did the governor's wife send you a message today?" Lu Silang got straight to the point.
Lu Fenghe nodded, "But what's the problem?"
Lu Silang shook his head, "It's nothing. This ship was found by Shen Dalang, and he has some title. A visit from the military general is not a big deal, let alone a visit between the female family members."
"It's just tomorrow..."
"Oh, I know, I will see Jiao Niang tomorrow. I will go to my fourth sister-in-law's house early in the morning. I will sit for a while and then send her away. I guess nine times out of ten, I am just here for a formality."
"As long as you understand in your heart, our family is not in the way and we don't have any official positions, but you still have to be careful with Shen Dalang."
"Well, in the afternoon, the third sister-in-law also told me that Mr. Fan, I am not easy to make friends with. I think so. Yingtian is the northern and southern fortress. He is firmly seated as the governor and also received the post of deputy naval envoy. It is strange that this person can be simple.
"
Lu Silang said happily: "As long as you have an idea."
What Lu Fenghe hadn't said yet was that the third sister-in-law also told her that this Guo family was not simple either. He seemed to be a gentle and enterprising person, but in fact there were pitfalls in every word and she had to be careful when dealing with him.
Lu Fenghe originally thought it didn't matter, but after hearing what the third sister-in-law said, she didn't want to deal with it. She didn't know her in the first place, so why bother to make excuses.
That night, Xiangyaer came to watch the night. She still wrung out Lu Fenghe's hair and knelt on the couch to massage Lu Fenghe's head.
"Is the girl feeling better after pressing it yesterday?" Xiang Ya'er asked.
Lu Fenghe nodded slightly, "I feel relaxed a lot, and I don't have much dreams at night."
"Then slave girl will press the button again tonight, and the girl must have a good sleep."
Lu Fenghe responded with a smile.
The next day, Wei Jiaojiao came very quickly. Lu Fenghe had just finished eating and Wei Jiaojiao came.
Wei Jiaojiao burst into tears as soon as he saw Lu Fenghe.
"Why are you crying?" Lu Fenghe wiped her tears repeatedly.
"I missed you. You didn't even come back to see me off when I got married. What's the point of sending someone to do it, no matter how nice your appearance is." Wei Jiaojiao cried and accused Lu Fenghe.
"Oh, Jiao Niang, please stop crying. My boat is already heavy, so don't let me flood it from the inside."
Wei Jiaojiao patted Lu Fenghe and said, "Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?"
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake."
"How long will it take for you to come back this time?" Wei Jiaojiao asked.
Lu Fenghe thought for a while, "We'll probably meet for a long time."
"That's great. I'll be visiting Ling in a few days. Where's Ling Niang? Why haven't I seen her for so long?"
"Maybe an elder came to my mother's place and couldn't leave for a while." Lu Fenghe guessed.
Wei Jiaojiao waved his hand, "Hey, don't care about her. She's not doing anything right day by day. She left for Kyoto to see a letter from you. I was so angry that I wanted to curse. Knowing that I can't leave now, I made a special trip to come here.
Show off with me."
"What's wrong? Why can't I leave?" Lu Fenghe looked at Wei Jiaojiao nervously, but he looked like he had all his hair and tail, so why couldn't he leave?
Wei Jiaojiao approached Lu Fenghe, "Yes, but I haven't sat down yet, so I don't dare to say it. It will be three months in twenty days, and I can go back to Piling by then."
Lu Fenghe was really happy for Wei Jiaojiao, "That's great. It doesn't matter if I can't go back to Piling. I'm back now. After I go back and settle down, it won't be too late for me and Lingniang to come find you."
Wei Jiaojiao was not in good health. She had been married for four years and was finally pregnant. She had written to Lu Fenghe before and asked her if there were any famous doctors or useful prescriptions in Kyoto.
At that time, Lu Fenghe also asked Imperial Physician Yang for two prescriptions, but he couldn't see the doctor and asked about the symptoms. Most of them were of little use.
Lu Fenghe remembered something, "Don't go back to Piling. Don't go back. Don't bother with the pregnancy once it's settled. Ling Niang and I will come to find you. It's hard for you to get pregnant. Be careful. There's nothing in your yard
Don't be angry with those warblers and swallows. If you can, sell them. If you can't sell them, send them away far away. Don't dazzle them in front of you."
When it came to matters in the mansion, Lu Fenghe felt that Wei Jiaojiao's eyes had lost their luster.
"Don't mention it. When I was just pregnant, I sent two of them away under the pretext of being pregnant. In the past two months, Yang Dalang has brought two more in. I will fight to the death and refuse to give them any status."
Wei Jiaojiao married the only son of the Yang family in Jinling. Before the marriage, Yang Dalang had a married woman. On the second day of the wedding, Yang Dalang raised his two married women as aunts.
That's all. She was still pregnant after one year of marriage, so Mrs. Yang just stuffed two of them into the yard.
In the third year, Mrs. Yang didn't need to worry about it. Yang Dalang had already carried it to the mansion with ease.
