Chapter 368
Thirteen-year-old Ling Yue has two personal maids, Ding Xiang and Cao'er.
Ding Xiang is fourteen years old and Cao'er is only eight years old. Moreover, Cao'er is very honest and sincere. There is no conflict of interest between the two and they get along very harmoniously.
Ding Xiang is smart, good at reading and arithmetic, but has no talent in martial arts, and is in charge of Ling Yue's private house and belongings. Cao'er gets sweaty when he learns to read and do arithmetic, and takes a nap when he reads, but he is very talented in martial arts.
Coupled with her natural divine power, she has made rapid progress.
Carrying the box from the dock to the ship, it was difficult for two servants to carry it, but she easily carried it and got on the ship, leaving everyone stunned.
Mrs. Qian said happily: "One person can work for three, four men! What a profit!"
When he saw her eating a large plate of steamed buns with a big bun in each hand, he frowned again and said, "This is too delicious."
Shangguan Ruoli felt that at this time, Mrs. Qian was like Zhu Bajie and his mother-in-law. While she liked Zhu Bajie for being capable, she also disliked him for eating too much.
Fortunately, they are now rich and don't have to worry about food and drink. There is more oil and water in the food, so Cao'er's appetite is not so big, and she has obviously gained weight. When she disembarks in more than a month, she is already a chubby little girl with a round face.
Already.
The weather is already very hot, and the humidity in the air is very high. Even my breathing is a bit heavy. My body feels sticky and very uncomfortable.
Everyone felt unsteady on their feet and was still swaying. It was strange and embarrassing to see people on the pier showing their arms and legs.
Wulang was wearing fine cotton bloomers and a small robe, and his forehead was sweating from the heat, "Mom, they wear so little, they look very cool!"
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "The climate here is hot. If you wear too much clothes, you will easily get prickly heat and heatstroke."
Mrs. Qian said: "It saves on fabrics. The big skirts and robes in the north can be made of clothes here with just one sleeve."
Everyone laughed, "That's true."
Old Man Dong said with emotion: "Ten miles away from the ordinary, we have traveled thousands of miles! If we hadn't followed Si'er to take office, we would never have imagined that this place would be like this."
Ling Yue smiled and said: "Why don't all those scholars like to travel around? I don't know how big the world is without going out."
Everyone nodded.
Dongming Ziyu said: "Let's go, stay in a posthouse today, then hire a carriage and horses, then walk on the mountain road for half a month, then take a boat for more than ten days, and then walk for four or five days, and we'll be there.
"
When everyone heard this, they all had sad faces again.
Mrs. Qian complained in a low voice: "The emperor's face is so handsome that he sent you to such a remote place as soon as he turned against you!"
Old Man Dong didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Qian fanned herself with her hand and said, "It's nothing."
Dongming Ziyu heard this, smiled, and said: "Let's stay at the inn today, rest and recuperate, sell most of the goods we brought, and travel lightly. Also, I want to go."
Everyone staggered to the inn. When people saw that they were like this, they had taken a long boat ride. Seeing that they were all well-dressed, carrying a large amount of luggage and impressive guards, they warmly arranged for them.
The largest yard.
Shangguan Ruoli took out two cans of good tea produced in the space, a piano score, a pot of precious orchids, two boxes of home-made snacks, two pieces of silk and satin, and two pieces of Songjiang fine cotton, and asked, "Are these enough?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "That's enough, it's already worth a lot of money. You can watch them here tomorrow, and I'll take Wu Lang, Dong Shi and a few guards."
As someone unfamiliar with the place, he would not dare to leave the capital with Shangguan Ruo and leave the whole family on the dock.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange things, and we can set off immediately when you come back."
Early tomorrow morning, Dongming Ziyu rode the horse of the inn to invite people. Shangguan Ruoli and his people sold most of the goods purchased along the way at the dock, exchanged them for silver, and made a small profit.
Dongming Ziyu rode fast all the way, and after noon, he arrived at a small village at the foot of the mountain. As soon as he entered the village, he heard the sound of reading loudly.
Dongming Ziyu frowned. If that person set up a school in the village, he might not be able to hire him.
They dismounted at the entrance of the village. When the people working in the fields saw their clothes, they knew they were not locals. Someone put down their hoes and came over to them, asking them something in the local dialect.
Dongming Ziyu: "..."
Can't understand.
