Chapter 17
The next day, I boarded the ship after breakfast. For the power of the prince, the relatives were also sent to the pier, and the aunts also had a parting affection, and they had already told Shen Ji'an to send them to the pier.Zhao She rode on a horse and accompanied Zhenjie's carriage to the outskirts of the city. The procession behind him was much more beautiful. There were sedan chairs, ox carts, and people on foot.

The big sedan chairs of the local officials were behind the prince's horse. Although there was no quiet street, the yamen servants cleared the way, and people on both sides avoided it.Shen Ji'an felt comforted by how much she saw. To my daughter, the more solemn the better.

On the pier, the real sister bid farewell to her father, tears rolling down her cheeks.I was in a hurry to wipe it off again, for fear that my cousin would not see it well.Shen Ji'an urged his daughter to get on the boat: "The journey is only a few days, I'm doing business outside, maybe I can visit you from time to time."

In smooth sailing, Zhenjie stood on the bow of the boat, the wind blowing her new cloak, and the handkerchief waving in her hand, she looked like a fragile little person who could be blown away.Zhao Amnesty stayed by her side with his hands behind his back, seeing tears in her eyes from time to time, he took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears for Sister Zhen.Sister Zhen didn't evade, and revealed Qi Qiran's small face behind the veil, and asked Zhao She timidly: "Cousin, if I cry a while, will you be unhappy?"

"Stupid child, of course you will be sad when you leave your family." Zhao She's heart ached at these words, and he stroked Sister Zhen's shoulder to coax her: "Tears come from nature, you don't have to hold back if you want to cry, but you can only cry once. Cousin doesn’t like crying too much. My real sister,” Zhao She said softly, “Cousin will love you and won’t bully you.”

With a hulking figure and a petite real sister, the only thing Zhao She could think of to coax the child at this time was to soften his voice: "Cousin won't bully you."

Sister Zhen's tears rolled in her eyes, and she tried not to let them fall when facing the people on the pier who were about to lose sight of them.Zhao She couldn't bear to see her, took her hand and took her into the cabin, handed it to the attendants, Zhao She said: "Make the girl happy, don't cry anymore."

The girl's mothers all agreed. Of course, Qin's mother and the Shen family's girl persuaded sister Zhen to endure.Seeing the unbearable tears and the aggrieved face of being forced to leave home, Mother Ye smiled and said, "It's okay to let the girl cry for a while, but don't cry and swell your eyes. If the prince sees it, he won't like it."

Sister Zhen cried hard and was washing her face.Zhao She asked someone to come and ask, "Is the girl still sad?" Mama Ye quickly replied, "I'm not sad anymore, let's talk with you." Zhao She was relieved when she got the answer.This boat is a big boat, with dozens of people on board, not too many people, and there are four small boats guarding it.Zhao She accidentally saw birds outside the window, and asked Zhao Ji to tell Sister Zhen again: "It's okay to come out and play for a while, but the wind mostly wears clothes."

The real sister is still sad and doesn't want to move.Mother Ye went to reply: "Girl is going to sleep." Zhenjie really fell asleep. After crying, she lost her energy. This time she slept until mid-afternoon. Mother Ye said cautiously: "I don't usually do this. I got up early today, so I fell asleep."

Facing the servants sent by the palace, Zhenjie is always cautious, making them laugh at her every step.Mother Ye just smiled: "The girl Huakai wants to call girl, but I won't let her. The girl is sleeping soundly, and the prince came to see her and said she won't let her. She can eat when she sleeps."

This made people pass on the meal, even though it was on a boat, it was delivered with four dishes and one soup full of fragrance. Sister Zhen felt her index finger move, and she refused to eat after half a bowl: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat at night." Ye Mom and Luo's mother coaxed, drank another bowl of soup, and then put away the dinner table, and everyone talked together.

It was the first time for Sister Zhen to sit on such a big boat. She cried, slept, and ate a good meal. The mother Ye and Luo who accompanied her were respectful. It’s just a flying bird.” I’m sorry to look at the river later: “This boat is really tall,”

"On the deck, you can see wild geese flying in the sky," Hua Kai had gone to the deck to see it a long time ago, and said this to sister Zhen.The duty of the servants is to coax the real sister to like to miss home. This is what the prince said again after the real sister had slept.Everyone encouraged Sister Zhen to go out to play, and Hong Jian even smiled and said: "It's my first time to take a boat, and the girl can't play without us."

Zhao Amnesty heard laughter on the deck, and went to the hatch to look.The crowd followed Sister Zhen, pointed to the birds to show her, and pointed to the splashes under the boat: "There is a fish, this fish did not avoid the boat, it was turned over."

It was nearly dusk in the sky, and there were a few geese singing overhead. Sister Zhen clapped her hands happily: "It's really wild geese. They must be looking for a place to sleep at night."

Zhao She couldn't help smiling, walked over and stroked Zhenjie's head and asked, "Like it?" With a small head, eyes wandering, still looking at the top of the head: "Cousin, look, that wild goose flies so beautifully."

"Bring my bow and arrow," Zhao She stretched out his hand, Zhao Ji flew into the cabin, took Zhao She's bow and arrow and presented it.Sister Zhen hadn't figured it out yet, but Zhao She had already bent her bow and set an arrow, when the bowstring rang, Sister Zhen exclaimed: "Cousin, don't shoot." She hurriedly hugged Zhao She's bow and arrow to prevent him from firing the second shot arrow.

There was a lot of mourning in the sky, and Zhao She shot an arrow, which passed under the wings of a wild goose.Zhao Amnesty's original intention was to scratch the wild goose's wings so that it would not be able to fly and fall down by itself.The bow and arrow were hugged by Zhenjie, Zhao She couldn't laugh or cry, facing Zhenjie's little face looking up at the sky, there was Xuanran on it: "Cousin, don't shoot."

"You don't like it. Cousin didn't shoot the wing, but if he shoots it, he will keep it for a few days, and you can watch and play with it." Zhao She was helpless. She said she liked the child, and now it is also the one who sympathizes with the goose.

Sister Zhen tightly hugged the tail of the bow and arrow, preventing Zhao She from shooting again.He continued to stare at the injured wild goose.The geese were injured and their flight slowed down, and a row of geese accompanied it.Sister Zhen smiled again: "That's it. They fly to protect it, flap their wings beside it, and fly with it. Those must be its parents and family."

Inadvertently, Zhenjieer showed her homesickness.Zhao She was slightly moved, and let Zhenjie hold the bow and arrow.Seeing the wild geese flying far away, Zhenjie breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the bow and arrow and panicked: "Cousin, don't be angry, I said I like it, but I don't want the wild goose."
