"Miss Tang is really kind-hearted, and she actually thinks about servants like us."
"The captain has something to say, but it doesn't matter. I'm not sure what else Wan'er can do to help."
It turns out that one county was affected by the disaster, and flash floods broke out, which blocked the route. However, the port at Jiakou there was the closest route to the capital. The merchant ship originally planned to go to the capital via Jiakou, then return to Wuyun, and then go to Huachang. , now we have to change the route to go to Huachang first, and then to Wuyun, but this will lengthen the route by nearly half.
It turned out that they did not intend to go to the capital, but to transport themselves to the capital. Shen Chanli specifically asked the merchant ship to go to the capital.
Although Shen Chanli didn't say it clearly, Tang Wan'er finally understood it now.
"Master Shen is so gentle."
Tang Wan'er said to herself, the captain didn't understand for a moment.
"So, the captain plans to go to Huachang first?"
"Well. Taking into account Miss Tang's itinerary, my brothers and I discussed that we could change boats at Minmen and go to Beijing via the river mouth. Although it takes three hours longer than crossing Jiakou, it is much faster than our own route. The fifth young master has asked the children not to delay Miss Tang's schedule, and he thinks this is the best route. I wonder what Miss Tang thinks?"
"It's okay. If the captain thinks this is the best, then let's do it."

Minmen Port.
The captain had arranged everything for Tang Wan'er. However, because the merchant ship had to supply supplies in Minmen, he did not have much time to take care of Wan'er. The captain sent someone to accompany Wan'er and at the same time hold the Shen family's ship number plate. Just make sure nothing goes wrong.
The ship Tang Wan'er is taking is from the Gu family, which has close business ties with Qinghe Villa, so safety is absolutely guaranteed.
After having a delicious meal and wandering around in Minmen Port, Wan'er boarded the Gu family's ship with satisfaction. The boy watched the Gu family's ship leave the port smoothly. Tang Wan'er boarded the ship smoothly before he left. Report to the captain.
The Gu family's Xiangrui not only carries cargo, but also a lot of people. It seems to be used for sightseeing. The ship is large and can accommodate a hundred people. The crew also looks very naughty, but of course the man who has been at sea all year round is Most of them are physically fit.
Tang Wan'er wandered aimlessly and was about to go to the deck to enjoy the breeze, but she saw someone sneaking around and didn't know what he was doing.
For a moment, Tang Wan'er's curiosity aroused and she followed him, but in the end she seemed to have lost her.
Someone suddenly patted Tang Wan'er on the shoulder.
"What...what are you doing?! It's so sudden, so scary!"
"Young lady, it's better not to meddle in other people's business. Stalking is not something that a daughter as beautiful as the young lady should do. Be careful of getting into trouble!"
"ha?!"
Tang Wan'er frowned and patted off the dirty hand. She looked pretty and pretty, but ended up talking so much nonsense.
Tang Wan'er didn't have a good impression of this person.
The next port was about to arrive. Tang Wan'er felt that the sea trip was quite good. There were some refugees on the boat from Wen County, the place where the flash flood broke out. She also became friends with a child named Yuan, and their family Prepare to join relatives from Wen County.
However, things were not as simple and smooth as Tang Wan'er thought.
When Tang Wan'er wanted to ask the captain how long it would take to get to the capital, she suddenly found bright red blood flowing out somewhere. When Tang Wan'er mustered up the courage to open the door that was unlocked due to someone's negligence, the pungent rotting corpse The smell almost made her breathless.
