Chapter 1589: A comfortable boat, arriving in Jiading Prefecture
Chapter 1589: Comfortable sailing, arriving in Jiading Prefecture
We are heading south, only about three hundred miles away from Jiading Prefecture! In addition, if we go downstream, even if the ship is slow, it is not difficult to travel a hundred miles in a day!
There are three ships in total. Shen Tang is riding on the second floor of the ship! The lower floor is a group of personal guards and servants. On Shen Tang’s floor, apart from Shen Tang and the two girls, there are only a dozen or so accompanying people. maid.
Shen Tang lay on the couch to rest. Yesterday, he accompanied several ladies and tried his best. Now he was indeed a little tired.
Isha stayed with Shen Tang obediently, feeding Shen Tang some snacks or fruits from time to time, and kneading them gently with her hands.
Ayi looked through the gap in the window excitedly at the scene outside!
Although the woman at this time was not a quiet woman, she was still a novelty to the outside world! With Ayi's restless temper, she couldn't stand it even on the boat.
"Master, the scenery outside is so beautiful! Not only are there green mountains and green waters, but also the misty smoke from the cooking stoves that Sister Mu Yu told me about. It would be great if I could come out and play from time to time!"
Ayi said enthusiastically.
"Be good for a while. I'm tired. Let me have a good rest!"
Isa scolded lightly, and then said softly to Shen Tang, "Master, would you like to take a nap?"
"No problem!"
Shen Tang smiled and held the well-behaved Isha in his arms, "Ayi, later I will ask them to lower the net to catch fish. How about I personally grill the fish for you in the evening!"
Ayi turned around and smiled, first making a face at Isha, and then said, "Ayi, thank you, sir!"
The waterway of the Minjiang River is extremely mature, and the boat Shen Tang and others are traveling on is huge, so the journey is smooth without any waves!
At night, Shen Chou and others brought a lot of fresh fish! Shen Tang took the two girls to the deck and baked them on the prepared rack and charcoal fire!
The big ship has temporarily docked, and Shen Tang took the two girls to grill some fish to satisfy their hunger.
Later, someone brought a deck chair and lay directly on the deck watching the stars in the sky!
This kind of comfort is simply hard to extricate yourself from!
Unfortunately, Ayi, who had been energetic all day, fell into a deep sleep not long after! Shen Tang glanced helplessly, smiled at Isa, stood up, picked up the sleeping Ayi, and returned to the cabin.
Three days later, the big ship docked slowly at Jiadingfu Pier!
"Master, there are many people on the dock. Are they here to greet the master? There are also many soldiers and horses!"
Ayi happily said to Shen Tang.
Before Shen Tang could say anything, Isa stepped forward and grabbed her sister's ears, "You little girl, you are still not stable! We are following the master this time. We must not lose face to the master! You are good! Think about what the elders told us, if you make a mistake, I will punish you first without you having to say anything!"
Isha was naturally happy to travel with Shen Tang.
However, it is also a bit nervous!
Shen Tang had already told them that there would be other female relatives to greet the two of them along the way, and Shen Tang naturally did not have the energy to pay attention to these trivial matters, so the two girls had to deal with them on their own!
Who are the people my master comes in contact with?
If they are not a high-ranking official, they are the commander-in-chief of an army! They are concubines, so they are not qualified to deal with these things for the master, but since the master loves them, they must also take responsibility!
After teaching her sister a lesson, Isha said to Miao'er beside her, "Miao'er, are all the preparations in place?
Later, you will always be by our side, don’t stay away!”
Miao'er nodded respectfully, feeling a bit yearning and nervous about this novel experience.
"alright!"
Shen Tang looked at the two girls with a smile, "Just do whatever you want. As long as I am here, you don't have to worry about anyone!"
After the ship stopped, a bodyguard got off the ship first, and then Shen Chou led Shen Tang towards the dock.
There were indeed a lot of people coming up from the pier. Not only did Xiang Liang bring a group of Jiading Palace officials, but the city's military commander also came with many soldiers and horses from the capital.
In addition, Shiying, who was supposed to be stationed in the Diaomen Village area, also ran hundreds of miles with his bodyguards!
The reason for this is, firstly, that Shen Tang has sent a message in advance to Shiying to come to Jiading Mansion to discuss matters, and secondly, this time Shen Tang went out with great fanfare, and the treasure ship not only carried the flag of Marquis Zhongwu, but also the banner of the pacification envoy. Flag waving!
"Welcome to you, Lord Comforter!"
Xiang Liang laughed loudly and led others to greet him. Shen Tang smiled and said, "The last time I returned to Chengdu, I had no time to stop in Jiading. This time, I can finally have a chat with Magistrate Xiang!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Tang raised his hands to the people around him and said, "I'm inspecting the troops and horses in Chengdu Fu Road. I'd like to trouble you all!"
Everyone raised their hands and responded, "I don't dare!"
After saying a few polite words, Shen Tang stepped forward and got on the prepared carriage, and a crowd of people gathered around him and headed towards Jiading Mansion!
After the group of people left, they stopped beside a carriage behind the crowd. A woman in gorgeous clothes got out of the carriage and said to the maid on the side.
"Liu'er, go and welcome the Marquis's two ladies down!"
Although they knew that these two women were concubines, they were naturally favored by being able to travel with Shen Tang.
Besides, when did what happened to Shen Tang ever become reasonable?
Ordinarily, there is only one head wife when marrying, but who doesn't know that Shen Tang has several wives?
Not to mention Xiang Ling, she is the first wife of Shen Tang, the other is the princess of the Kingdom of Jin personally decreed by their majesties, and the other is married by the emperor, so is she the official wife?
Furthermore, as we all know, after giving birth to a daughter, Shen Tang's concubine also received a royal title. With this royal title, she was somewhat more noble than the head wife of an ordinary official family.
Although this woman is the wife of the prefect, she will not offend her master for some things.
The maid smiled slightly, turned around and headed towards the ship.
He said a few words to the guard guarding the treasure ship, took out the seal, and got on the ship.
"My maid, Liu'er, comes here on behalf of my wife to ask the two ladies to disembark!"
Seeing Miao'er guarding outside the cabin, Liu'er bowed and said.
"Sister Lao Liu'er, I'll go report to Madam!"
After turning around, he entered the cabin. Not long after, a group of wonderful girls led a group of maids and followed Isha and the two girls out.
Liu'er led the way, and the group walked past the sampan and got off the ship.
The woman took the initiative to greet them and said, "The two sisters have worked hard. My husband is accompanying Mr. Shen to discuss matters first. We women don't want to disturb them, so I will accompany the two sisters!"
"Excuse me, sister!"
The two girls stepped forward and saluted!
The woman avoided the situation and summoned a carriage with a smile. After letting the two women get on the carriage, the group also headed towards Fucheng under the protection of the guards.
