When Zhuang Huaijin and Yu Wenpei hurried back to the inn in the town, they unexpectedly learned that the boat crossing that was originally scheduled for that day had been postponed to tomorrow.
After Yu Wenpei returned to the guest room, he continued to catch up on his sleep without changing his clothes.
Zhuang Huaijin was studying alone, but he was not an iron-clad King after all, so he fell asleep at his desk in a daze.
At this time, Jia Fei had returned to the troupe, and Deng Yulou was still hungover. The troupe leader felt sorry for himself after collecting the money, so he went to the theater to tell Jia Fei's opera in person.
After Deng Yulou was helped back to the troupe last night, he drank and vomited all over the place. Hou Siniang cleaned up everything.
After noon, a young man came to the Qian Mansion and said that Miss Xiao Yuexian would serve Mr. Qian and would cross the river to Fucheng tomorrow.
The troupe leader was immediately stunned when he heard this. Xiao Yuexian was the pillar of the troupe, and without her, the troupe would collapse in half.
In the past, the troupe performed in various places, and sometimes wealthy families would arrange banquets for Xiao Yuexian to stay overnight, but they would only send her back to the troupe after a day or two at most.
The class leader secretly thought to himself that Mr. Qian must be seeking novelty for a while, and he was lonely on the way to the exam. But when it came to the city and rural exams, he always had to cram in and study alone. Could it be that he entered the exam room with his seat in his hand? Isn’t it a lady in green clothes?
Moreover, he has already heard about this Mr. Qian Mansion, who is the devil in the flowers and the evil ghost in the sex. At this time, the picture is fresh for a while, but after a few days, he will be tired of it.
With Qian Ruyu's status, without Xiao Yuexian, there will still be little heavenly immortals and little earthly immortals. But if my team still wants to continue singing, they will be unable to do without her for a while.
Therefore, the emperor decided that the troupe would follow the scholars and cross the river to Fucheng tomorrow.
Maybe even if he can't reach Fucheng, the uncle will be tired of sending him back.
The owner immediately contacted the ferry and crossed the river tomorrow.
Hou Siniang naturally didn't want to stay here for a moment longer. When she heard that she would leave Jiangkou Town and cross the river tomorrow, she felt less uneasy.
She also saw that in the troupe, apart from the leader, Deng Yulou and Xiao Yuexian were the two most powerful people, and Xiao Yuexian was serving Mr. Qian's family. She was afraid that her identity would be exposed, so she did not dare to come forward to serve Xiao Yuexian. That said.
Seeing that although Deng Yulou was a big-shot person in the class, he was still honest and easy to talk to, so he made up his mind and just stayed around to serve Deng Yulou.
The atmosphere in the troupe is not as strict as in the palace. Although some people gossip, for Hou Siniang, who has already died once, she has long looked away and treats any gossip as nothing more than farts.
Even the class leader had coveted Siniang at first, but when he saw her taking the initiative to lean towards Deng Yulou, it was hard to say anything because of the support of the main pillar.
Anyway, people in my class are like meat in a pot. They eat them in the morning and in the evening, so I have the idea that the future will be long.
However, Deng Yulou had just promised to love Xiao Yuexian, but his love was snatched away from him. Xiao Yuexian seemed to have a change of heart, and he was depressed all day long. He drank to relieve his worries, but his worries only worsened.<
/p>
There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, under the urging of Qian Lu, the manager of the house, Qian Ruyu took Xiao Yuexian to get up and change clothes together.
It turns out that the accommodation at the next stop has been arranged by the government. If we set off late, we might not be able to make it by sunset, so we had to keep urging.
Even so, at three o'clock in the morning, other scholars rushing to take the exam were already waiting at the pier, and Qian Ruyu pulled Xiao Yuexian there.
The scholars waited for the Qian Mansion and his party to board a two-story building boat, and then filed in.
"Uncle, this is the ferry money that Zhuang Huaijin and Yu Wenpei paid. Look..."
Brother Qing was holding a bunch of small coins, about thirty in size, which was supposed to be enough to cross the river.
Qian Ruyu didn't even look at it, but only waved his hand. Qing Geer agreed, turned around and handed the money back to the two of them to go down to find the ferry, but Qian Ruyu hurriedly stopped him.
Brother Qing was puzzled, Qian Ruyu couldn't help but laugh and cursed in a low voice:
"You idiot, how can you do anything since you are from the same hometown and traveling together? What I mean is to accept the money and let the two of them board the boat. As the saying goes, traveling alone is fast, and traveling together is far. You don't understand this principle.
, as for this bunch of small coins, I’ll reward you.”
"Oh, you are so thoughtful, I would like to thank you for your reward!"
On the other side of the pier, there is a group of theater troupes, who are also packing their luggage and preparing to cross the river.
Deng Yulou held a tiger-head sword in his hand, secretly staring at Qian Ruyu as he hugged Xiao Yuexian's slender waist and boarded the ship's building.
Xiao Yuexian, who had just boarded the boat, glanced at him unintentionally, her body paused, and her eyes showed a somewhat complicated look.
Qian Ruyu felt the beauty in her arms stagnate, and she put her hand around her slender waist and pinched her tightly. Xiao Yuexian raised her head and smiled at Qian Ruyu, and entered the cabin in the arms of Mr. Qian.<
/p>
"Bang!"
A tiger-headed sword suddenly hit the ground on the river bank, causing a burst of sparks to fly.
Deng Yulou turned around and saw Hou Siniang hiding behind him, and immediately said displeased:
"What's wrong with you?"
When Hou Siniang saw that everyone in the Qian Mansion had already boarded the boat, she walked up behind Deng Yulou with her face half-covered, lowered her eyebrows and said:
"When I see my elder brother angry, I feel scared."
"Oh! It has nothing to do with you, there is no need to be afraid... Also, just call me Yulou from now on. I am a hard-working member of the team. You don't need to be treated like a big brother. Okay, pack up quickly. We are also preparing to cross the river.
."
At this time, Jia Fei was in a deserted corner, studying a map spread out on the ground with a little sparrow on his shoulder.
The crude depiction and distorted proportions of this ancient map are exactly what Cheng Yu imagined.
On the map, only a few of the largest rivers are simply marked, and Qingluo Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, is only outlined with a few strokes.
As for Qingchuan County and Jiangkou Town, they are both located in Qianjiang Prefecture. From the scale on the map, the straight-line distance between the prefecture and Jiangkou Town is about four to five hundred miles. However, the positional relationship between Qingchuan County and Jiangkou Town in the map seems to be somewhat misaligned. .
Therefore, the distance conversion can only be used as a reference, which is better than nothing. Maybe it is not impossible to actually walk seven or eight hundred miles, or one or two hundred miles.
At this time, Cheng Yu's focus was on the entire map, and the Liang Dynasty was naturally at the core.
To the east and south is a large connected ocean.
To the north is a patch of sand with the two characters "Bei Yi" written on it.
The cat demon must have mentioned the desert she had conquered in the north.
To the west are mountains one after another, with the word Xirong written between the valleys.
The geographical environment of this entire world is somewhat similar to that of previous lives.
If there were the several-shaped Yellow River and the Yangtze River running across the hinterland in Daliang, Cheng Yu would almost suspect that he had traveled to ancient China.
Unfortunately not.
Longxiangjiang River is a large river running from north to south in Daliang. It almost bisects Daliang vertically and merges into the sea.
Qianjiang Prefecture, where Qingchuan County is located, is on the east side of Daliang. From the picture, it is not far from the sea to the east.
At the same time, there is another almost horizontal river in Daliang: the Daliang River, which cuts the entire Daliang into two. The capital of Daliang is located at the intersection of the Daliang River and the Longxiang River, enjoying the convenience of a thoroughfare between the two rivers.
"Let's board the ship!"
After roughly studying the map, I heard the troupe owner shouting loudly that they had hired two medium-sized ferries, one carrying people and one carrying cargo.
But it can't be compared with Qian Mansion's building.
As soon as we boarded the ship, the ship was shaking. After a while, several weak women in the troupe, including Hou Siniang, became dizzy and felt their stomachs tremble.
Jia Fei didn't want to squeeze in with them, so he hired a separate boat.
At this time, the silver in her chest was filling up again, and some of the gamblers in Jiangkou Town were afraid that they would never gamble again in their lives.
In fact, Jia Fei and Cheng Yu could easily cross the river without hiring a boat, but they had to put on a show in front of the theater troupe.
The boatman on the boat shouted softly, pushed the boat away from the shore, made ripples, and sailed towards the other side of the river.
This kind of boat can only seat three or five people at full capacity, and it doesn't even have a canopy. It cannot cross the river when there is a strong wind. At this time, while the wind and waves were still small, and Jia Fei gave him money, the boatman happily agreed to cross the river. .
Unexpectedly, just after it left the shore, the boat was surprisingly stable and fast, and in an instant it caught up with the two large boats on which the troupe was riding.
The troupe leader was squatting on the bottom of the boat with his hands on the boat to stabilize his center of gravity. He saw the opera girl next to him standing alone on a small boat. The boat was fast and stable. The stern man at the stern was gently rocking the oar, as if he was on a small boat.
Rafting in the lake is just like taking a boat trip, effortlessly.
"..."
The captain's ship was shaking again. He hurriedly held on to the side of the ship with both hands. He raised his head again and found that the small ship next to him was far ahead of him and was sailing towards the other shore.
