After a while, Shu Shu gently got up and came out when she saw Jiu Gege asleep.
Grandma Lin also followed out.
"When the smell is almost gone, grandma remembers to close the window."
Shu Shu ordered.
Nanny Lin responded carefully.
Shu Shu did not rush back to her cabin, but walked back to the Queen Mother's side.
He still asked for permission through the cabin door, and then came out Aunt Bai, asking Shu Shu to come in.
The Queen Mother did not lie down, but sat on the Arhat couch by the window, looking at the scenery on the other side.
Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
It doesn't look like seasickness, which is pretty good.
Seeing Shu Shu coming, the Queen Mother called her to sit close to her: "Look outside, Liu Ya has come out!"
Like a child, I enjoy watching it.
Shu Shu sat next to the Queen Mother and looked over from a distance. Sure enough, the shore was a light yellow-green.
“It gets green earlier than in the city!”
It should be because it is near the water and faces the sun.
The Queen Mother looked down at the small sweater on her body and said with a smile: "I heard that the further south you go, the warmer the weather will be..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, compared with the four distinct seasons in the capital, spring, summer and autumn are longer in the south of the Yangtze River, and winter is shorter than in the north, but it is wet and cold, so you can't wear less clothes."
That is a legendary magic attack.
Moreover, when the southern tour arrived in Jiangnan, it coincided with Jiangnan's "return to the south", which will definitely give everyone a long experience.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You should wear more clothes in spring and autumn, and don't look for illness when you go out..."
Grandparents and grandsons have a few gossips.
I saw a speedboat passing by.
Coordination and delivery of messages.
The Queen Mother pointed out: "That boat is small, half smaller than ours..."
Shu Shu made an estimate and said: "It should be about four feet, which is not too small. I heard that in the Jiangnan water town, every family has a boat, and everyone lives by the water. They usually go shopping, buy groceries and so on.
, all have to row a boat, just like the carriage here."
The Queen Mother listened with interest, and then asked curiously: "Where is the rower of our boat?"
Shu Shu said: "The canal boat is different. The water in this canal flows from north to south. In addition, there is a south wind in February. This boat follows the wind and goes down the river."
Otherwise, for such a large ship to be powered by boatmen, it would probably require hundreds or even thousands of boatmen.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was a little worried: "What should we do when we come back? If we go back, we will go against the trend?"
"At that time, there will be trackers to help. This is how the grain goes north. There should be fixed regulations."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "It's easier to go north than to the south. Just go to the carriage and tent."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Well, each has its own advantages. Going with the current is also fast. You can walk more than a hundred miles a day."
When a holy driver travels, he must have corresponding traveling etiquette.
For land travel, the standard is roughly fifty miles per day, and if it exceeds, it will be around sixty or seventy miles.
As for the waterway, it is usually only about a hundred miles.
If the wind direction is good, it will be easy to reach a hundred or more.
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, they noticed that the willow trees on the roadside were moving slowly.
The speed of the boat slowly slowed down.
Shu Shu took out her pocket watch and passed Shen Zheng.
Anchored so early?
That's really the case.
Looking ahead through the window, I saw a long pier in the distance.
The boat is ready to dock.
After a while, it was the Queen Mother's turn to take the boat to anchor.
About a quarter of an hour later, the ship was anchored and no longer had the same floating feeling as when it was moving.
Fifth elder brother and Fujin are here.
Shu Shu stood up.
"Grandma Imperial, my grandson is going to the dock dining room to have a look..."
The fifth elder brother saw Shu Shu, nodded to her, and then followed the Queen Mother.
In the southern patrol fleet, each large ship also has a small kitchen.
But that's just a small dining room, where a meal is heated under the boiling water for lunch.
The large dining rooms are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are located along the pier.
Moreover, we set out half a day in advance to prepare meals for the master, accompanying officials and guards.
The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, go over slowly, and ask someone to help you get on and off the boat."
The fifth elder brother obediently agreed, spoke a few words with the Queen Mother, and then went out.
Wu Fujin took Shu Shu's hand, looked up and down, and said, "You look good, don't you feel seasick?"
"Well, I just slept for an hour and then woke up."
Shu Shu said with a smile.
The Queen Mother ordered the two of them: "We will eat here for a while..."
Everyone's diet is different, and there are fewer special dishes when going out. If you eat with the Queen Mother, you will naturally eat better.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "If the imperial grandmother doesn't say anything, we will come too..."
Speaking of this, she said: "Fifth sister-in-law will accompany the imperial grandmother first, and I will go to see ninth sister..."
He didn't mention Jiugege's seasickness to save the Queen Mother from worrying.
Let's go see how it goes first.
If you still have symptoms, you can go for a walk on the pier for two laps before dark.
Wu Fujin nodded, and Shu Shu said to the Queen Mother and left the cabin. Xiao Song was waiting outside.
"Sister Xiaochun sent her servants to welcome her, so that Fujin wouldn't be hit..."
In fact, if you walk this ship back and forth, you will understand that it cannot be collided with.
The boatmen are in fixed positions, and the eunuchs and guards are also in fixed positions.
Shu Shu said nothing and looked towards the shore.
There are many large and small tents set up on the shore.
They are all round tents similar to yurts.
A horse was galloping in the distance, and it looked like it was coming from the direction of the capital.
We headed towards Yuzhou.
Shu Shu had a rough guess in her mind. Although Kangxi left the prince to supervise the country, the daily reports should still be handed over to the emperor.
We're just setting off now, it's better to be closer to the capital.
When we get further, it’s the legendary 800-mile express.
Shu Shu turned around and took Xiaosong to Jiugege.
The cabin window on Jiugege's side is still half open.
Jiu Gege had already gotten off the bed and was sitting on the couch in a daze.
Seeing Shu Shu come in, Jiu Gege stood up.
Shu Shu saw her wilting and said, "What's wrong? Fainted again?"
Jiu Gege said with a bitter face: "I vomited again, and even the bile came out."
Shu Shu frowned and said, "I can't keep it up forever. I'll ask Fifth Sister-in-law later... Fifth brother went to Tongzhou to find a boatman a while ago, looking for a folk remedy to cure seasickness, but I don't know if he has found any."
Speaking of this, she remembered something and told Xiaosong: "Go to your sister Xiaochun and bring her mint ointment."
It was used during the insect repellent during the northern tour last year.
This time during the southern patrol with the army, Xiao Chun went out to buy a lot.
I'm just afraid of insect bites.
I forgot, this is also symptomatic.
Xiaosong went out immediately.
Jiu Gege frowned and said: "How can I go to see the Imperial Grandmother like this?"
Shu Shu said: "Then take your cloak and go ashore for a walk. I hope it will relieve your pain."
Jiu Gege had no other options, so he nodded.
When Xiaosong brought the mint ointment over, Jiu Gege listened to Shu Shu's instructions and applied some on his temples and philtrum.
"It's chilly and feels much more comfortable..."
Jiu Gege felt it carefully and was pleasantly surprised.
Shu Shu said: "That's good, I'll have a good sleep at night, eat and drink well tomorrow morning, stay in peace, and I'll get used to it in two days."
Jiu Gege was still hopeful and said: "I still want to go to the shore for a walk."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then go."
Xiaosong made another trip and brought Shu Shu's four-piece suit.
Hood, mask, gloves, and cotton cape.
Shu Shu put it on, and it was tight enough to expose her eyes.
Jiu Gege opened his eyes and said, "It's spring and it's getting warmer, why do you still need to cover yourself up like this?"
It's not unusual to be like this in winter, but now it looks a little weird.
Shu Shu said: "The water surface is damp and cold, and the water vapor is strong, making it easy to cough... Hats and gloves are for sun protection, so as not to get tanned..."
In addition to the cloak, Komatsu also brought a new "three-piece suit"
Shu Shu said: "This is for my sister. Later, my sister will give us little Chun as a reward. She sewed it all."
Jiu Gege said cheerfully: "Thank you, thank you, I'm afraid of being exposed to the sun..."
She imitated Shu Shu's look and also dressed up.
The aunt and sister-in-law went on the deck.
There are about thirty ships in the entire fleet, but only four are docked directly at the dock.
It is the boat where Kangxi, the Queen Mother and the two empresses boarded.
This is convenient for the master to get on and off.
Other boats are further away from the dock.
If you want to go ashore, you need to get on the boat first and then take it to the dock.
Shu Shu took Jiu Gege's hand, and the two stepped on the plank and went ashore.
Just then, a few people came from the direction of Yuzhou.
It was the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, followed by several eunuchs and guards.
Shu Shu's face couldn't be seen clearly, but the two of them recognized her makeup.
The two stopped to greet each other.
"Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Then the two of them looked at Shu Shu's side with hesitation.
At the moment I couldn't tell whether it was Wufujin or Jiugege.
Jiu Gege took off his mask and said with a smile: "It's me, my thirteenth brother and my fourteenth brother!"
The two met again.
The Thirteenth Brother then said to Shu Shu: "Khan Ama sent us over to visit the Imperial Grandmother..."
Shu Shu nodded and smiled: "Since you have an errand, don't delay and go quickly!"
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers went.
Jiu Gege whispered to Shu Shu Digu: "I thought Brother Fourteen would be naughty. It's rare that he is so well-behaved."
Shu Shu smiled and made no comment.
That is a place to accompany the emperor, not to the side.
Even if the fourteenth elder brother is "a gangster", he is still separated from others.
Jiu Gege said nothing and looked at the temporary tent in the dining room, his expression changed.
It turned out that several porters were carrying water from the river and entered the tent.
Jiu Gege hurriedly held Shu Shu's arm and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, they fetched river water? They didn't use that for cooking, right?"
That would be terrible.
The water in the canal is flowing, but it doesn't look clear and pitch black.
No wonder Jiugege is worried.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, there are two shifts in the imperial dining room this time. They alternately prepare in front of the Holy Emperor and listen to orders once every two days. In this way, there will be plenty of time for meal preparation. There should be a water tanker.
Get water from the nearest well..."
It's the Emperor and the Queen Mother. We usually use water from Yuquan Mountain in the palace. We have already dealt with water from wells. How can we use river water?
Jiu Gege then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. If I use water from the river, I won't eat anymore. I'll just eat the fruit to deal with one bite..."
