On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 80 Boat

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao admired his grandfather in his heart.

Even though the old man usually doesn't like to speak out, what he says makes sense and makes people feel comfortable listening to it.

If you make it clear that your family has suffered a loss, your parents will be happy and feel that your efforts have not been in vain.

After hearing this, the second uncle's family will also appreciate it and will not feel aggrieved because of the small amount of money they received.

Otherwise, the second aunt would not just have a dark face but remain silent.

What she was wondering now was that her grandfather and his family had separated their money from their second uncle's family.

Obviously in her memory, most of the money from her second uncle's family used to be kept by her grandmother, right?

How come everyone is in charge now?

Could it be that your grandparents are worried that your father will be jealous?

Thinking of the jealous father, the picture was so beautiful that she couldn't help but tremble, and quickly thought about what kind of boat she would take to leave.

Before selling the mule, cart and carriage, Jiang Yu made an agreement with the trading company to send them to the dock when the weather cleared.

It's raining constantly today, which is really not a good day for traveling, but without delay, Jiang Yu went to the pier first and booked a boat for traveling.

Mr. Xiao, who went with him, couldn't hide his excitement when he talked about Jiang Yuding's two-story ship: "There are ten rooms and kitchens at the bottom, and there are four rooms on the upper floor. It's really very grand."

The most common ones over there are ordinary awning boats and sampans, but I have never seen such a big boat.

He holds his own in front of outsiders, fearing that others will think that he, a country bumpkin, has no knowledge.

Now in front of his family, he said with excitement: "I heard that they are all made of tung lacquer wood, which is very strong and will not shake too much."

"Jiang Yu also said that we should live on the second floor, which is quieter and has a better view."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu clasped her hands together and said happily: "God bless us that we can encounter the enemy when we go out."

Xiao Erlang quickly corrected his mother: "Mom, I went out to meet a noble person."

He knew that his mother was a good person, but she was not very good at talking.

Fortunately, they are all members of the family now. If Jiang Yu didn't hear it, he would definitely not want to be taken advantage of.

Boss Xiao glared at his younger siblings and said angrily: "You think he is stupid, that's because we can also be regarded as his saviors."

If his third son hadn't been careful, Jiang Yu would have been buried under the mountain and dead.

What satisfied him was that Jiang Yu was also a sensible person. When he came back from watching the boat, he asked them to live on the second floor, but he declined smoothly.

Jiang Yu said that had they not been careful and vigilant before, he would have been dead now. If he refused again, he would not regard him as one of his own.

If he were to be polite again, Jiang Yu would be in a hurry with him.

Hey, he is a businessman after all, and he always says the same thing, which is especially good at deceiving people.

What about falling in love at first sight, what kind of fate, luckily he could talk nonsense in a serious manner.

But Boss Xiao felt that he could bear it, because it was his third son who saved his life.

Anyway, he paid for all the food, drink and accommodation along the way, and Boss Xiao deserved it.

He regretted that he didn't know where the other people who escaped the collapse lived. Otherwise, he would have come to get some benefits, and he couldn't let San'er save their lives in vain.

There is no such thing as doing good deeds without leaving a name.

After showing off, Boss Xiao discussed with his father again: "We have a good relationship with Jiang Yu now, why don't we tell him about the wrong surname by the way? When we get to the place, we can also ask him to help us speak for us, so that we don't have to worry about it again." I have to spend extra money to smoothen the relationship."     If it's okay to have a few taels of silver, I'm afraid those greedy yamen servants will ask for dozens or hundreds of taels, which will be really fatal.

Old Man Xiao nodded: "Since I'm going to ask him for help, I have to tell him early."

Xiao Dalang was a little worried: "If he has heard of or seen the wanted notice posted at the city gate, and hears our surname Xiao, will he doubt our identity?"

Boss Xiao was very satisfied that his eldest nephew was worried about his daughters. He patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "I went to see them before and there is no wanted notice posted at the city gate here."

"I now have five daughters in my name, and the situation on the wanted poster doesn't match up."

"Besides, when we were in Nancheng, we sent Paihuazi to the Yamen. Later, the Yamen officer who investigated the case asked him to sign and sign the case. Even if he guessed it, he didn't dare to say it, for fear that the officer would suspect that he was with us."

Xiao Xiao saw the scumbag dad looking so proud at the end, and really wanted to cry bitter tears for Jiang Yu: He was on a pirate ship.

Anyway, Boss Xiao's proposal was approved by the whole family.

But in the end we decided to wait until we get on the ship.

By noon the next day, the annoying drizzle finally stopped.

Jiang Yu hurriedly asked Waiter to go to the car dealership and call the carriages and horses to see them off: "Get on the boat before it rains. When we get on the boat, we won't be afraid of rain."

They really couldn't afford to wait any longer, so he was worried that the medical clinic at home was short of medicinal materials.

When the Xiao family saw the two-story ship, they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Xiao Sanlang's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "I have never seen such a big ship before."

"How old are you?" Xiao Xiao touched his head: "Will you still be able to see the third-story ship in the future?"

Xiao Erlang also nodded in agreement: "Third sister is right, the book says that ships going to sea have three and five floors."

What I saw in the book were words. Now that I see the two-story ship, I can imagine how majestic the ship is when it goes out to sea.

The Xiao family all went to the second floor. Although there were four rooms, they were not big.

In the end, it was decided that the largest room would be given to Jiang Yu, the other room would be given to Mr. Xiao and his wife, and the remaining two rooms would be given to the three Xiao sisters and the Lin sisters.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao's family all live downstairs.

There is a warehouse downstairs where herbs are piled. There are eight rooms, three of which are occupied by eight boatmen, and the other five can also accommodate the bodyguard and Xiao Laoer.

The boat raised its sails, and when the wind blew, the tall sails bulged, and it sailed slowly on the river without the boatman rowing.

The Xiao sisters and the Lin sisters were all on the deck of the second floor, looking at the vast blue waves of the river in the distance.

There are many large and small boats parked on the pier not far away, and other boats can be seen sailing on the river in the distance.

There are often birds passing by overhead, the cool breeze is blowing, the waves are sparkling, the scenery is so beautiful that it can be seen in a painting, and it makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.

However, the Lin sisters soon felt dizzy from the rocking of the boat and hurried back to lie down.

Jiang Yu was careful and prepared some seasickness medicine for them to boil, as well as some dried plums, hawthorn tea, apples and oranges for them to try in turn.

Xiao Xiao felt a little strange, feeling that he was really kinder to them now.

She is inevitably narcissistic: it must be because I saved him.

In fact, Jiang Yu overheard their conversation and knew that they really didn't have any wrong thoughts about him, so he didn't need to be more careful with them.
