Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 176 Arrival in Beijing
It added a touch of inviolable glory to her!

Just listen to her repeating Zhu Xiuyuan's words: "Yes, the sun is coming out!"

……

noon.

The official ship Zhu Xiuyuan and others were on had arrived at Tongguan County after a morning's sailing.

At this point, half of the entire trip has been completed.

Tongguan Wharf, where official ships dock.

It was already noon, the sun was in the sky, and it was very hot outside.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others did not stay at the bow of the ship for a long time, and they all returned to the cabin to rest.

Dong Shuzhen, the most lively person, can be regarded as "extremely happy, begetting sadness".

Because she was seasick!
Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, both of whom had rarely taken a boat, were not seasick. Dong Shuzhen was the only one who was seasick.

The rocking of the ship was not great, but Dong Shuzhen somehow managed to be the only one who got hit.

She vomited twice at the beginning, and she was sick all over.

Later, the boatman sent a medicine that was always on board, which is said to relieve the symptoms of seasickness.

Qiuwen and Xia Wu hurriedly cooked the medicine with the stove on the boat, and after feeding it to Dong Shuzhen, the symptoms of seasickness really improved a lot.

It was just that dizzy feeling that always lingered in her head. She was so dizzy that she could no longer jump up.

The official ship docked behind Tongguan Pier.

Zhu Xiuyuan's cabin.

Zhu Xiuyuan gently patted Dong Shuzhen who was lying in his arms, and said with a smile: "Madam, we have arrived at Tongguan Pier. Let's get off the boat and have something to eat."

"No, no sir, I feel dizzy. Let me sleep for a while. I won't feel dizzy when I fall asleep..." Dong Shuzhen twisted and found a comfortable position before stopping.

"Madam, get off the boat and go for a walk on the ground. You can enjoy the breeze and eat something warm. It will relieve the symptoms of seasickness. Besides, this is Tongguan and it is no longer Jiangzhou. Don't you want to go and have a look, madam? Look, would you like to try the local delicacies?”

I wish Xiuyuan to be persuasive and persuasive.

Dong Shuzhen raised her head and looked up at Zhu Xiuyuan in his arms, with a tangled look on her face. In the end, her curiosity and greed overcame her dizziness.

"Okay, husband, help me up..."

Zhu Xiuyuan helped Dong Shuzhen leave the small cabin.

Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, who were waiting outside, immediately took over Zhu Xiuyuan's work, with two little maids supporting her on the left and right.

Dong Shuyu and the others also came out.

Everyone met at the bow of the ship and walked onto the dock together.

As soon as Dong Shuzhen stepped onto the dock, her dizziness disappeared.

"what!"

Dong Shuzhen let go of Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, jogged two steps in place, and turned around twice.

Suddenly looked at Zhu Xiuyuan in surprise and shouted: "My husband, you are right, I am not dizzy now!"

Everyone had a meal near the pier.

Without resting, he immediately returned to the official ship and set sail again.

As soon as the unlucky Dong Shuzhen got on the boat, her head became dizzy again.

She immediately felt aggrieved and asked Zhu Xiuyuan to carry her back to the cabin and continue sleeping to survive the seasickness crisis in the afternoon.

……

at dusk.

The official ship Zhu Xiuyuan and the others took finally arrived at the dock near the capital.Zhu Xiuyuan's cabin.

Zhu Xiuyuan gently patted the face of Dong Shuzhen who was paralyzed in his arms, and said with a smile: "Madam, we are here, please quickly disembark with your husband."

During the whole day's voyage, Zhu Xiuyuan finally calmed down after Dong Shuzhen became seasick.

She just lay quietly in his arms, snoozing like a kitten, neither making any noise nor fussing, how wonderful!

But now it's time to disembark.

"Huh?" Dong Shuzhen opened her eyes a little, stretched out, and said in a straight voice: "Husband, are we finally here? Hey, hey, hey, we're finally here..."

Just like the time in Tongguan, as soon as Dong Shuzhen stepped onto the pier and set foot on the ground, her seasickness immediately disappeared and she was instantly alive and kicking.

"It's getting late, let's enter the city quickly, lest the city gate be closed, we can only stay outside the city."

Dong Shuyu, the most experienced person in the group, said.

"Okay, let's go to the city first." Zhu Xiuyuan nodded in agreement.

So, they rented a few carriages nearby and rushed to the nearest city gate.

Fortunately, the dock in the capital was not very far from the city gate. Zhu Xiuyuan and the others finally arrived at the "Fengyi Gate" before closing the city gate.

After entering the city gate, everyone did not get off the car, but sat on the carriage and continued to rush into the city.

This area inside Fengyi Gate is basically a military camp. It is relatively desolate and far away from the imperial city. It is really inconvenient to stay here.

What's more, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen are clamoring to visit the busiest streets in the capital.

In order to satisfy their wishes, Dong Shuyu took them towards the south of the city.

At this time, even Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and look out at the street, let alone Dong Shuzhen.

It was rare for a husband to have the same interests as hers, but Dong Shuzhen was extremely excited.

She and Zhu Xiuyuan stood side by side in front of the side window of the carriage.

Together we looked out at the increasingly prosperous and lively streets.

The capital will close its gates at night, but there is no curfew, so the capital at night seems extremely prosperous.

But seeing the streets full of lights, crowds of people, and bustling voices...it was so prosperous that Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were dumbfounded all the way.

Dong Shuzhen was shocked by the prosperity of this place, which was countless times more lively than the night scene in Jiangzhou.

As a modern person, Zhu Xiuyuan has never seen any lively and prosperous scene?

But this is ancient times!
This flow of people and this noisy night market is simply better than the commercial pedestrian streets in some big cities in later generations!
In comparison, Jiangzhou seems much more remote and shabby.

At some point, the carriage stopped in front of a large inn, and Zhu Xiuyuan and others got out of the carriage.

"Shuyu, what kind of place is this? How can it be so lively?" After getting off the carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan went to Dong Shuyu and asked.

"This is Jiangning County, the most popular and prosperous place in the capital. Look far away, and the brightly lit river is the famous Qinhuai!" Dong Shuyu explained casually.

"Qinhuai River?!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked. He felt that the historical knowledge he had learned before was messed up here.

The capital is actually Nanjing in later generations. Zhu Xiuyuan has already confirmed this. But at this time, the Qinhuai River in the capital...is it already so prosperous?

Zhu Xiuyuan looked up and saw several beautifully decorated flower boats.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned, and after listening carefully, he seemed to hear the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from the flower boat, which was melodious and intoxicating.

"Wow, what a big and beautiful boat!"

Dong Shuzhen exclaimed, her eyes flashing with light.

Zhu Xiuyuan twitched his lips and turned Dong Shuzhen over, facing away from the flower boats.
