NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 36 Arriving at Yongzhou Mansion
Ling Sanlang, who was sitting next to him, agreed with Ling Xiaoxiao's words.
"Mom and Dad, just listen to your sister! Look at how smooth our life has been during this period of time when we listened to our sister. If we had followed your ideas, dad, and followed our grandparents, you can imagine what our family would be like now. .”
Ling Wuya also pouted and said, "It's just that I don't like my grandparents, uncle, aunt, cousin, second cousin, and eldest cousin. Oh, and my third uncle's family, I don't like them either." Sanya and Siya are the most annoying, they always steal my things."
After hearing what Sanlang and Wuya said, Ling Erzhuang didn't know what to say. Ling Xiaoxiao ignored him, but looked at Zhou Yunniang and said.
"Mother, this is what I think. When buying land, you must definitely buy it, but it is not the first thing to buy. The first and most important thing for us is to buy a house. After the family settles down, we can then consider other things. What do you think?"
Zhou Yuniang finally understood Erya's thoughts at this time. I have to say that this is the safest method. At any time, you must need a home! Without a home, there are no roots.
"Well, I listen to Erya. After we get to Yongzhou Mansion, we will buy a house first. But Erya, how big should we buy this house? Yongzhou Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is adjacent to the Mingjiang River. , I guess it’s not too cheap, right?”
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Ling Erzhuang had changed during this period. Now it seemed that her mother, who was often with Mrs. Lan, had also gained some knowledge. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how expensive it is, we can all afford it. Besides, No, I don’t plan to buy one that’s too big, just enough to live in.”
This chat reached mid-afternoon, which was ten o'clock in the evening, and Ling Xiaoxiao and the others began to return to their respective warehouses to sleep.
When she woke up early the next morning, Ling Xiaoxiao came to the deck. The cabin where her family lived was on the second floor. She couldn't see anything because of the darkness last night. When she got up again in the morning, she had already left yesterday's cabin. Where we boarded the boat, the Mingjiang River was very wide. It looked like it was more than a mile.
In the morning in the south of the Yangtze River, especially on the river surface, the water vapor was thick and foggy, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Ling Sanlang was holding a spear and preparing to practice with it, but Ling Xiaoxiao stopped him.
"Forget it today, the space on the ship is too cramped, and if the gun practice is too noisy, it will easily disturb others."
Ling Sanlang then put away his spear and prepared to go back, but he heard a sound coming from the direction of the third-floor cabin.
"This guy's spear looks pretty heavy!"
Ling Xiaoxiao had actually known for a long time that there was someone at the third-floor window, but this was a public place, and she couldn't stop people from looking at the river view, so she didn't pay attention. Now that she heard someone talking, she looked up. , and found out that he was a handsome middle-aged man in his thirties. I think it was because he had recently renewed his beard, and the beard on his chin looked very short, but it extremely showed his masculinity. However, no matter how good it was, it was not his own flesh. After taking a look I stopped looking at him, he was old enough to be the father of her body.
Ling Sanlang didn't accept life and said with a smile.
"This gun weighs fifty-six pounds, which is not very heavy. I can use it with ease."
Uncle Namei chuckled and said, "Little brother, you are humble. Not many people can handle this fifty-six-pound gun. It's a pity. We are on a ship now. If we were on land, I must take a look at the little one." The heroism of a brother.”
Ling Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy after hearing this. Why does it sound like her brother is a busker doing a sideshow, and he wants to show it to you.
"Okay, Saburo, it's time to go in and wash up, let's go!"
Ling Sanlang looked at his sister in confusion, but he was smart enough not to ask, so he waved to the man and followed Ling Xiaoxiao back to the cabin on the second floor.
Uncle Namei also looked at the backs of the two people leaving with some doubts.
"Did I say something wrong? Why does the little girl seem a little unhappy to me?"
The attendants around him lowered their heads.
"Sir, why do you say you want to see that young master show off his marksmanship? I think the little girl may have misunderstood what you said."
Uncle Namei thought for a while and realized that what he just said seemed to be easily misunderstood, "Oh, you said my mouth, you obviously like that young master and want to see his martial arts." Yes, but saying this can easily lead to misunderstanding. It seems that after disembarking, we need to inquire about the family. Not to mention coming to apologize, but it is still necessary to send some gifts to apologize. This matter is I’ll leave it to you.”
Ling Xiaoxiao and Ling Sanlang entered the cabin and started to wash up. They also forgot about Uncle Namei. After breakfast, Ling Xiaoxiao was completely relieved when seeing Zhou Yunniang that everything was normal. Some people get seasick on this boat. People seem to be fine at first, but as time goes by, they will get seasick. But now it seems that my mother is fine. I think it is the spiritual spring water that I have been taking care of during this period, and my mother's body has almost recovered. .
The time on the ship passed very slowly. During this time, Ling Sanlang was learning martial arts and his personality became more cheerful. He suddenly became quiet and couldn't sit still. Ling Xiaoxiao directly gave him a dozen more words and asked him to Remember, and be able to write, I also took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I got from Lan Yanhang and asked him to practice calligraphy. This time it was not only Ling Sanlang, but also my mother and father Ling Erzhuang and Ling Wuya. .
Ling Erzhuang originally didn't want to learn to write, thinking that he would just know the words, but Ling Xiaoxiao said.
"Dad, if one day our family starts to do business, and it gets bigger and bigger, then you, the head of the family, will need to sign a contract or something. If you don't practice calligraphy well, wouldn't it be embarrassing to write it out?"
After hearing this, Ling Erzhuang shook his head, "No, your father and I are not good at doing business. It is impossible for me to do business in this life, so there is no need to learn."
Ling Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Erzhuang speechlessly, who refused to learn to write, and didn't bother to persuade him anymore. She would be leaving in a while anyway, and she couldn't bear to worry about it here, so she stopped forcing him.
In fact, time flies very quickly if there is something to do. At noon, the ship approached the dock outside Yongzhou Mansion. Ling Xiaoxiao stood on the deck and watched the busy workers transporting the ship. incoming goods.
Turning around and looking at the Ling family's carriage and luggage, Ling Xiaoxiao was not worried. The Ling family's luggage was not much, so they loaded it directly into the carriage. Later, they would just let the carriage pull it to the dock. , what really delayed the time was the Lan family's luggage, which was the luggage of several carriages. These luggage alone were delayed for a long time. By the time the Lan family and the Ling family got off the carriage, it was already Youshi.
