Chapter 101
It is the wet season at this time, and the water surface of the canal is open and misty.The big boat sailed smoothly for more than ten days, and the population gradually thinned out, but the aquatic plants and trees on both sides became more and more lush. Most of them were species that had never been seen in the north. From time to time, there were water birds swooping into the water to catch fish.Standing on the strings of the boat, Jinxi looked at the miracle of man-made excavation in front of him with a lot of emotion. From Yuhang in the south to the capital in the north, more than 3000 miles of meandering waterways run through the lifeblood of the north and south of Dali. Thousands of years later, it will return to dust. When the dust returns to the dust, when future generations pay homage to it in the history books, who can imagine its majesty at this time?In comparison, ordinary people like her are simply too small and insignificant.

The golden and round sun is about to fall into the reeds, and the coldness is rising on the vast water surface. Jin Xi wraps up the cloak around her body and prepares to go back. Heavy rain, you better go into the cabin!"

Jin Xi nodded and walked to the door of the cabin, but heard the boss of the boat yelling loudly at the bow, "The wind is blowing, hang up the sails." She couldn't help asking Xiugu strangely, "It's so late, don't we go to the pier?"

Aunt Xiu looked sad, "The master told us to go on the road overnight, but we can't help it!" Not only can we rest at the shore, but we can also exchange some special products brought along the way for some money, which kills two birds with one stone.But Zhou's family is chartered by the whole boat, and they have to follow Master Zhou's instructions on what to do, and whether they can make extra money depends on Master Zhou's will.It's a trivial matter if you can't make extra money, what if you run into water thieves on the road overnight?
"Then trouble you to bring me a bowl of sugar water for my nanny and servant girl!" After leaving the capital for a few days, He Huan was seasick, Zhou Bohai felt sorry for the fragrance, and the big boat stopped and stopped, which delayed a lot of the itinerary.At this moment, I am afraid of delaying the trip and risking the risk of rushing all night, what did I do earlier?

"Miss, don't worry, the villain is going to cook sugar water according to the recipe given by the girl." After receiving the dozens of big money from Jin Xi, Aunt Xiu smiled all over her face.After all, the girl from a rich family is generous and has a lot of knowledge. She knows how to use sugar water to cure seasickness. Those of them who live on the water don't know it. How can this girl who stays at home know?
Doubts are doubts, Xiu Gu also noticed that Zhou Bohai only cares about that singing girl during the past few days on the boat, and he simply doesn't care about this daughter.That master also stayed in his room all day, and didn't worry about anything except drinking.The nanny and maid got sick as soon as they got on the boat, not only could she not serve her, but she also had to take care of the two servants, what a crime!

"It's a kind girl to take care of the servants, but you also have to take care of your own body, don't get tired. You are spoiled and spoiled, but you are different from us rough people." Xiu Gu murmured Standing still, Jin Xi said thank you and added ten copper coins before she went to the kitchen.

Jin Xi shook her head helplessly, Xiugu has no evil intentions, nor is she a person who underestimates the low and flatters the high, but her temper of not paying on credit for how much money she gives makes her a headache.But I can't blame her, if you can go up the mountain, you can't go into the water, making a living on the water is hard and dangerous, and she doesn't have much friendship with Miss Xiu, so why let Gu Xiu think of everything for her?
With Xiugu's work efficiency, the sugar water will definitely not be delivered in half an hour.Jin Xi frowned and went to find Mr. Yun Zong, wanting to ask him to persuade Zhou Bohai that even if he stayed at the pier for half the night and left before dawn, it would be safer than rushing all night.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the smell of alcohol came to the nostrils.Seeing Mr. Yun Zong lying on the ground with hands and feet stretched into big characters, Zhengxiang was sleeping.Jin Xi hated him so much that he wanted to throw all the jugs of wine in his room into the river, and secretly scolded Qin Xiao for not doing a good job. What happened to the old man drunk to death?

Jin Xi couldn't help Mr. Yun Zong up with all his strength, so he had to pull a quilt off the bed and put it on him.Gently tucking in the corner of the quilt, I couldn't help but whine, "I drink it all day long, don't you know that wine hurts your body? You don't ask the price of the wine that Qin Xiao gave you, just drink it when you take it, just in case He turns around and asks you for the drink money, what are you going to pay him back? Don’t blame me for not reminding you, that guy is even more cunning than a profiteer!" When her footsteps faded away, Mr. Yun Zong suddenly opened his eyes and covered him all the way to him. The quilt on his chin was pulled down, his eyes were full of smiles, this silly boy!

Over there, Jin Xi had already gone directly to the room where Mama Ai and the others lived, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Mama Ai's face turned blue, half lying on the edge of the bed holding Tanmeng and throwing up.Mama Ai has been unable to eat for several days, and her stomach is always empty. At this time, all she vomits is yellow-green bile, and she barely holds back when she turns her eyes white.Magpie and Qing Xing, who were lying on the side, were not much better, and were so seasick that they dared not even open their eyes.

Jin Xi didn't mind being dirty, so he took out the spittoon that Mama Ai had spit out, brought water for Mama Ai to rinse her mouth, and then twisted a cloth towel to wipe her face and hands.After working for a long while, she took out a small box from the corner, took a few pieces of candied fruit and broke them into small pieces, and fed a few pieces to each of the three people lying on the bed. Seeing that they hadn't vomited after eating, Jinxi let out a sigh of relief.

"The old slave is hurting the girl! At the next pier, the girl will throw the old slave on the shore, and let the old slave fend for itself!" Ai's mother burst into tears. What is the use of bones?

"But it's just seasickness and acacia. You'll be fine tomorrow too. Don't think about these useless things. When you get better, go outside and have a look. The scenery will be good." Jin Xi pretended to be relaxed, and exaggeratedly described the scenery outside Give it to a few people.Mama Ai, Qing Xing, and Magpie were traveling far for the first time, and it was also the first time they took a boat.Before the three people had time to get excited, they vomited and fell ill together.These days, she takes care of four by herself, and she hardly has time to breathe.It would be a lie to say that she was not tired, but she would never leave them alone.

Jin Xi spoke vividly, which really attracted the attention of the three people.I don't know if it's because the sugar in the candied fruit supplemented my physical strength, or because I got used to it after a long time, and the complexions of the three of them obviously improved.

"Is this the candied fruit of the famous Hui Zhangji in Beijing? It smells sweet!" Xiugu sent the sugar water in, and she saw the candied fruit on the table at a glance.

Jin Xi secretly regretted that she didn't put away the candied fruit in time, so she had to grab a handful and hand it over, "Although it's candied fruit, it's not Hui Lin's. It's a snack that my sister gave me to pass the time on the boat when I was about to leave. If my sister-in-law doesn't mind , just take some to taste."

"That's kind! Thank you, girl!" Xiu Gu smiled, looked left and right for the unloaded items, and simply lifted her clothes and took the lapels to fit them.

After Xiugu left, Magpie looked at Jinxi strangely, and asked, "Isn't Mr. Qin giving this candied fruit to Miss Qin? Why did it come from Miss Si?"

"You read it wrong!" People say that stupidity is contagious, but who was it that got the magpie's stupidity and inability to turn? "Mr. Qin rushed to the pier and only sent twenty jars of spirits to Mr. When did you give me candied fruit?"

"Your servant read it right, there are obviously two big food boxes..." Magpie insisted that he had seen it, but Qing Xing's elbow stabbed him in the waist before he realized what it was like. "The servant didn't see anything, Mr. Qin didn't give the girl two big boxes of candied fruit, and he didn't give the girl any other snacks, nothing at all!"

Jin Xi was so annoyed by the magpie that she rolled her eyes, she got the wrong name, she shouldn't be called a magpie, she should be called a crow, and she's still a stupid crow that can't speak well!
It was windy and windy outside, a big wave hit, the ship swayed from side to side, the magpie suddenly felt dizzy, and hurriedly closed his eyes, not even daring to breathe, let alone speak.Seeing that the box of candied fruit in the corner was about to be sprinkled, Jin Xi rushed over a few steps, hugged the box of candied fruit in her arms, ran too hard and kicked her foot on the corner of the table. The box of preserved peaches that Huilin wrote down made her heart warm all the time.

The moment the big ship left the capital's wharf that day, Qin Xiao hurried up with a cart full of wine jars.The boss of the boat said that it would be unlucky for the boat to turn back after heave anchor.However, Qin Xiao shot an arrow and broke the rope of the main fiber. In desperation, the big ship had to come back and replace the rope.

The boss of the boat dared not speak out, but Qin Xiao seemed to be okay, swayed onto the boat, and said goodbye to Mr. Yun Zong solemnly in front of Zhou Bohai, without even looking at Jinxi.Turning around, taking advantage of Zhou Bohai's inattention, he leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Those two boxes of candied fruit are for you, sweet things to prevent seasickness. Seasickness is not ashamed, so don't hold on, you will lose face and suffer."

I really didn't expect that Qin Xiao, who would murder and set fire at the slightest word of discord, had such a meticulous side. Jin Xi looked at him stupidly, not knowing what to say, for fear that what she heard and saw was hallucinations.He didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of causing the air to fluctuate, and the phantom in front of him disappeared instantly like soap bubbles.

"Little fool!" Qin Xiao scolded her with a half-smile, and when he heard someone shouting outside that the wine jars were all packed, he walked away, as if there was a tiger on the boat trying to eat him.Jin Xi chased her out of the cabin, with people coming and going, she didn't know what to say at this time, if she said something hurtful and parting, this guy would definitely laugh at her, but if she didn't say anything, she always felt that she owed him a lot of favors.My mind went blank, and I said the most vulgar words, "Take care, don't do stupid things, there will be a period later!"

Qin Xiao stopped at his feet, his body was straighter than ever before, and slowly turned around, Jin Xi's heart raised his throat inexplicably.At that time, the sun was shining on the water, and the sparkling light fell on his dark gray robe embroidered with silver thread moiré, and those moiré patterns were bright or dark, as if there was a stream of light flickering around him.The usual unruly expression was also softened by the flowing light, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but there was a strange and heavy expression between his eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing the second lady turning her face to look this way, he raised his eyebrows, with the same expression as before, and shouted loudly: "Take care of Mr. Yun Zong, if there is any mistake, I will never forgive you!" But secretly smiled and said: "You will grow up too!" Be careful, don't let that old drunk find excuses to punish you!"

At that moment, Jin Xi was full of guilt, she lowered her head and dared not look at Qin Xiao.This young man has a bad temper and acts recklessly. In order not to cause trouble for her, he is actually willing to restrain himself at this time, but he wants to travel far, but he didn't even say hello to him...

Jinxi hugged the candied fruit box in a daze, Mama Ai thought she was worried that Zhou Bohai would ask about the source of the candied fruit, so she comforted her: "Girl, don't worry, the master won't bother with children's snacks."

But the facts have proved that whatever you are afraid of will come, if someone deliberately makes trouble, anything can become a fuse.
