Chapter 543: Chunshui Ferry

  Chapter 543 Chunshui Ferry

   When they set off on the second day, their team grew stronger again.

  In the end, twenty-five carriages were added to pull the goods. Yang Lan'er saw that it took half an hour to line up to get out of the city gate, and now the rest of the journey must be slowed down.

  However, thinking of all the money that was pulled, I felt comforted again.

   After a five-day journey like this, Shen Shichu arrived at Chunshui Ferry in the middle of the day. There was no way to go further by land, and there were all mountains in front of them. They had to cross this big river.

  Chunshui Ferry is one of the important ferries connecting the two sides of the Strait, and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

   Steward Wang and Xiao Jiu have gone to contact the boatman crossing the river.

  Yang Lan'er stood on the bank and looked at the wide river and the busy cargo ships. This was the first time she had seen such a big ferry and such a wide river since she came here.

  The children were very excited to see this, clamoring to take the boat.

"Ma'am." Xiao Jiu ran up from under the berm, and said without blushing or panting: "I just negotiated a boat, and I can go to the other side this afternoon. Butler Wang asked me to ask, are you Cross the river first or stay here tonight and cross the river tomorrow?"

  Yang Lan'er saw the excited expressions of the children, and smiled knowingly: "Let's cross the river first, we can have a good rest at the opposite side of the river tonight, and this team of carriages will bother you."

The corners of Xiao Jiu's mouth curled up slightly invisibly, and he returned to his expressionless face after a while: "This is what we should do, madam, then you can take the children and the female relatives on board first, and leave the rest to us." Can."

  Yang Lan'er nodded: "For those who have not crossed the river tonight, you have to arrange for them, and give them an extra meal in the evening. It is hard enough to come here for more than ten days. You must eat well, drink well, and rest well."

   "No, Ma'am, don't worry." Xiao Jiu hurriedly responded, lest Yang Lan'er would continue nagging.

  Yang Laner looked at his flickering eyes, gave him a funny look, and took the nannies, cook, children and five female guards onto the boat.

  This ship has a deep draft, so Butler Wang picked up the group of them on board and took them directly to the rest cabin at the bow.

   Followed by the horse-drawn carriages of the convoy, it is impossible for this boat to pick up only a dozen of them, and several carriages have to be driven up to cross the river together.

The children stood on the stools and leaned against the window, watching the big boat sailing slowly towards the river in the wind and waves. The deep and clear river water, the splash of the waves hitting the boat made the sound of splashing water. It is a rare personal experience, which is novel and a little in awe of deep water.

   Kun'er pointed to the river in the distance, and asked excitedly: "Mother, what kind of bird is that? It can still eat water!"

   "Ah, the bird got into the water."

   "Haha, there are several on that boat, and there are also several on that boat."

Hearing this, Yang Lan'er carried the three treasures and moved to the window, looked outside, and said with a sweet smile: "That boat is a fishing boat, and that black bird is called a cormorant. It is a large fish-eating bird. It is good at diving. After the fishermen are domesticated, they can help the fishermen catch fish."

  Yu'er looked at the cormorants in the distance and thought for a while, then Shaoqing raised her head and asked, "Mother, are the cormorants really that obedient? They won't eat the fish first in the water?"

   Ouch! Her son is the best, he also knows how to think and ask questions, not bad!

  Children must keep this habit and continue to carry it forward.

   Today is so uncomfortable, let’s stop here first.
