In recent years, due to the expansion of commerce and trade, Dagu Port has developed into the largest port in the mainland, with its throughput reaching new highs both month-on-month and year-on-year.
Look, in the vast mist, guests are coming like clouds, and cargo ships are flying like shuttles. It's a completely prosperous scene.
Although this terminal is busy, its dispatch is very orderly and there is no chaos at all.
Suddenly, an eye-catching strange ship sailed into the port, breaking this harmony.
Strange ship? Is it weird?
Yes!
Isn't it strange that it not only has no sail to drive, but can also travel against the wind? But what's even more strange is that it can move faster than a boat with the wind, which is really puzzling.
At this time, a well-informed person came out to popularize science: I heard that Qiongzhou in Nanyang built a smoking ship that moved without sails. I think it was the current ship.
oh……
When you mentioned it, I remembered it.
I remember that this strange ship visited Dagu Port last year. At that time, it caused an uproar because of its strange drive. However, just when curious people were about to come over to find out, the ship did not say hello.
Left quietly.
Unexpectedly, the regrets of last year can be made up for today.
Sure enough, this big ship can indeed move without sails.
Just like that, in full view of everyone, Qiongzhou's steam engine ship moored and docked in a swaggering manner.
Contrary to expectations, not only did the scene not arouse heated discussions, but it also became completely silent.
Yes, after the audience calmed down, they all stared at the strange ship with their eyes wide open.
And at this moment, a strange scene occurred.
Under the attention of everyone, Wu Wanrong danced and appeared on the stage with a face of ecstasy.
Perhaps because he was too excited, he fell down and his hair was messed up, just like Fan Jin.
In fact, Lao Wu didn't have much extravagance. He simply wanted to find someone to talk to and chat with, even if it was a barking dog.
"Blind man, I have admired you for a long time!"
"Brother Lame, nice to meet you!"
"It's time for this bald brother, you are so naked!"
"..."
Wu Wanrong spoke freely and almost incoherently, and the feeling of letting it all out was even more satisfying than having diarrhea!
However, the audience felt a little unhappy.
Everyone thought that a so-called wise person would stand up on the ship to say hello, but instead, a deranged idiot came out.
It's not over yet.
Because Wu Wanrong's rude behavior just now has successfully aroused everyone's anger.
And then~~
You will have to suffer some physical pain more or less.
In this chaos, Yin Tao led Qi Xiao and left quietly. The whole process did not cause the slightest ripple.
…
There is still a long way to go from Dagu Port to Beijing.
However, the current official road is wide and flat, and it travels very quickly. Yin Tao believes that he can reach it in a few days.
After landing on the ship, Huang Fei immediately sent someone to find an elegant van, and then drove it himself to escort the mother and son to Beijing safely.
Although it is said that it is early spring and the north wind is blowing, it is a gentle breeze blowing from the willows that is not cold, and you can hardly feel the slightest bit of spring chill.
What a pity, what a pity, the loving mother Liu Quan didn't wear any of the big cotton-padded jackets she prepared for her son.
Yin Tao nodded and said, "Before coming here, my husband once said that this year's north will have a rare warm winter, and the climate should not be particularly cold. Unexpectedly, he was right."
Qi Xiao smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of the cold. I grew up in the capital, so how can I not adapt to the climate here?"
Hearing this, Yin Tao's remaining slight worry was truly dispelled.
In the past, she was always worried that the cold weather in the north would freeze her children, but now it seems that she is a little worried.
The acclimatization and climate are not suitable for people, which are very big and annoying problems. Avoid them if you can, but there is no best way.
Qi Xiao looked at her carefully and suddenly smiled and said: "Little aunt, I feel that you have changed a little now."
Yin Tao was startled when he heard this and said curiously: "Oh? Where have I changed?"
"In the past, you were a notoriously unruly girl. You were always sarcastic and hurtful. You looked so strong. Now, looking at you now, you are elegant, graceful and generous, as if you are a different person. You said, this is not a change.
What is it again?" Qi Xiao expressed what he felt in his heart.
Yin Tao smiled and said: "You mean, I have become more approachable than before?"
Seeing him nod, she explained: "Actually, I haven't changed, I'm still the same person I was before. The so-called increased friendship is just for our family members. If they are outsiders, I'm still as rude as before.
"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao suddenly understood.
My aunt's temperament has not changed, what has changed is only her current and past identities.
He tasted it and praised: "Dad once said that those who are tyrannical at home are the least promising. Those who are really capable are all tyrannical to others! I think you, my aunt, are just such a person."
In fact, Qi Yu compared this to the civil war, but when it came to Qi Xiao's words, it turned into a judgment.
Although he misinterpreted the meaning of what he said, Yin Tao still agreed: "This is so right. We are all members of the same family, how can we fight among ourselves?"
"Um!"
"..."
The weather at the moment is very good and it is very conducive to travel by land.
It only took a few days for the group to approach the capital. According to Huang Fei's estimation, they would be able to cross the city gate in half a day.
At this time, Yin Tao suddenly called out.
After that, she found an inn for a temporary rest, and took the opportunity to change into a black skirt and dress up simply: her hair was tied up in plain silk, and her temples were white with flowers, which was appropriate and decent.
What she now represents is not only herself, but also the Qi family behind her.
If one's appearance is inelegant, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the husband?
After finishing her makeup, Yin Tao took out a long piece of white cloth and tied it around Qi Xiao's arm as a courtesy.
After everything was settled, she gave the order to set off again.
Suddenly, a soft cry came from inside the carriage, and it sounded so miserable.
Since you are going to your parents' house for a funeral, how can you not cry?
This is a traditional etiquette, and even a noble royal princess cannot help but cry.
Although it was just a formality, Yin Tao still cried sincerely.
That look was like a pear blossom with rain, or a begonia with dew, which made people's hearts break.
After a while, Qi Xiao was infected.
The result was that the two of them, one big and one small, cried for two hours.
It was not until the carriage stopped and the butler Yin Shou sang that their crying subsided.
After a while, Yin Jun's voice came from outside the carriage: "Sister, you are finally here..."
Hearing this, Yin Tao suddenly felt sour in her heart, and her tears fell down again.
