♂?,,
Ye Xiner felt a bit self-conscious, fearing that her vomiting would disrupt Lin Ge's schedule. She pinched her nose and drank the bitter medicine opened by Lin Lan in one gulp. After getting on the car, she fell asleep immediately. Ye Zi was still dizzy.
Having gotten rid of this trouble, the fleet finally arrived at Lin'an Ferry Terminal on the dusk three days later.
At this time, the sunset is slanting, and the big and small boats on the canal are shuttling like a brocade, showing a prosperous scene. In ancient times, waterways were the first choice for long-distance travel. First, there were official boats on the canal to maintain order, which was relatively safe; second, it could avoid the hardship of horse-drawn carriages; third, it could save the trouble of finding an inn every day, and the cost was also relatively low, but the disadvantage was that it was a bit slow.
But this is not a problem for Li Mingyu, he was never in a hurry anyway.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the ferry terminal, a clean and delicate young servant came forward to greet them.
"Master, I've been waiting for you. You don't know what happened yesterday. A family came and almost took our boat away, saying they were in urgent need and willing to pay double the penalty to us, fortunately this boat owner has a conscience and didn't agree, otherwise it would be really hard to find a boat at this time..." The young servant complained as soon as he saw him.
Li Mingyu waved his hand, disagreeing. Dongzi didn't know that the boat family and Ye family were old acquaintances, could they be swayed by someone else's few taels of silver? He only asked: "Are things ready?"
"Everything is ready, we can set sail as soon as you board." The young servant said hastily.
Li Mingyun turned around and instructed Wen Shan: "Move all the things up there!"
It's almost there~
"This trunk belongs to the young master and mistress, move it to the young master's room, be careful not to drop it. Those are to be sent to the old master's house, move them to the bottom of the cabin. This luggage is Miss Second's, move it to Miss Second's room..."
Lin Lan got off the horse carriage. Yu Rong carefully sorted out Lin Lan's belongings and tied them into a large bundle, which he carried on his back with some difficulty.
Wen Shan saw the situation and hurried over: "Let me take it instead!"
Yu Rong glanced at Lin Lan and said, "I'll do it myself, Wen Shan is busy." These are all the young mistress's precious belongings, if I let someone else handle them and they get damaged, that would be terrible.
Lin Lan had been with Yu Rong for a period of time and knew her temper. She was very careful and meticulous in doing things, dedicated and responsible, but didn't talk much. Sometimes she seemed a bit too serious. Although Lin Lan couldn't get close to her, she knew that this person was reliable.
"Wenshan, let her carry it herself!" Lin Lan said with a smile, and then asked: "Who is that person?"
Wen Shan followed the gaze of the young madam and smiled: "Oh! He is Dong Zi, Young Master asked him to come early to arrange the boats."
Dongzi was also looking this way, his eyes filled with unbelievable surprise, and he didn't even hear the young master calling him.
"Dongzi..." Li Mingyun furrowed his brow and called out again.
"Hey!" Dongzi finally came back to his senses, grinning from ear to ear: "Young Master, your actions are really swift! Winter has just left for a few months, and Young Master, you've already brought back the young mistress."
It's almost there~"
"Here we are!" Dongzi ran over quickly, with a flattering smile on his face, and exaggeratedly bowed to Lin Lan: "Young Madam, I'm Dongzi, I'll help Young Madam onto the boat."
Lin Lan smiled, this was indeed a clever ghost.
The silver willow beside her smiled and said, "Young Madam doesn't need help, but the Second Miss over there does."
Dongzi busied himself with a serious expression: "In Dongzi's eyes, there is only Young Madam."
"Got quite a few benefits from someone else's family..."
Dongzi hurriedly said: "Yinliu sister, don't talk like that."
"What slander?"
The two of them started arguing.
Lin Lan detected something unusual and it seemed like Ye Xiang'er had other intentions for Dong Zi.
Yu Rong's face sank as she said in a low voice: "Shut up! Zhou Mama is coming."
The two of them finally shut up, and Zhou Ma walked over, her face stern, saying: "Why haven't you boarded the ship yet?"
Dongzi's brain turned quickly, and he smiled: "Hello, Auntie Zhou. We're moving things right now! Young Master said that after the luggage is loaded onto the ship, everyone will board the ship."
A carpet was spread on the gangway to prevent slipping. Li Mingyu stood on the dock, watching everyone get on board one by one, reminding them to be careful from time to time. When Lin Lan stepped onto the gangway, he even reached out to help her: "Don't look at the water, just walk forward."
Lin Lan raised an eyebrow, she wasn't so delicate, took big strides onto the pedals and walked steadily past.
Dongzi again volunteered to take Lin Lan to her cabin. Lin Lan, however, was not in a hurry to hide in the narrow cabin, and let Yurong and Dongzi go first to put things in order, while she stood on the deck looking at the scenery of Gu Du Kou.
"Miss, if you're afraid, just close your eyes and I'll help you get through it."
Lin Lan turned around and saw Ye Xiang'er standing in front of the step, her face filled with fear, staring at the narrow step and refusing to take a step forward.
Li Mingyun also advised: "Don't worry, just go."
Ye Xiner looked at Li Mingyun with a worried expression and said weakly: "Brother, I'm really scared..."
Ding's mother had already boarded the ship and saw that the young lady was too afraid to come over, so she advised: "Miss, be brave and walk, it's okay, this gangway looks dangerous but is actually very stable."
Ye Xiner was just hesitating and looking at Li Mingyun with a flustered expression.
Li Mingyun looked back at her and saw that the porters carrying luggage had already formed a long line, so she said: "Cousin, close your eyes, I'll help you get through."
Ye Xiner's expression remained delicate and charming, but she nodded obediently and closed her eyes.
Lin Lan recalled the previous conversation between Yin Liu and Dong Zi, feeling inexplicably annoyed in her heart. She walked over with quick steps, intercepting Li Ming Yun's hand that was reaching out to support Ye Hui Er, and supported Ye Hui Er herself instead.
Ye Xiner still thought it was her cousin who helped her, and the joy in her heart far exceeded her fear of the narrow wooden board and the rippling river water, so she took a step forward.
"Sister-in-law, we're here, you can open your eyes now." Lin Lan said with a smile.
Ye Xiner's heart skipped a beat, she opened her eyes and looked up, the one supporting her was actually Lin Lan, not her cousin.
Lin Lan clearly felt Ye Xiang's body stiffen, and the thread of suspicion became clearer. However, her face remained calm and smiling as she said: "Cousin is too timid, look, didn't we come over safely?"
Ye Xiner's smile stiffened, her eyebrows lowered, and it was unclear whether she was shy or trying to hide her inner disappointment.
"I've made Auntie laugh."
Lin Lan ordered Ye Xiang'er's maid: "Quickly take Second Miss to the cabin! The wind on the river is strong."
Ling Yun and Ling Yin hurriedly helped Ye Xiang'er into the cabin.
"Master's room and Second Miss's room aren't too close together, are they? Should we swap them?"
Zhou's mother said expressionlessly: "This boat is only so big, call Yurong to come to my room later."
Gui's aunt responded with a low "oh" and looked at Lin Lan with a thoughtful expression. In fact, many people in the mansion were aware of the second miss's thoughts, but they just pretended not to know for the sake of the old master and mistress. They thought that when the young master brought back his wife, the second miss would give up her thoughts, but looking at the situation earlier... Gui's aunt sighed inwardly, wasn't the old mistress asking the second miss to accompany them on the journey just adding trouble for the young master? The time spent on this trip was not short, and if something unexpected happened... it would be hard to prevent!
