“What the eldest prince says is true.”

The railway should have started construction from the capital, but there was a problem: the capital was the political center, and the planned railway stations would take time to be planned. So it was finally decided that the railway would start from the capital and the nearby Tianjin and continue towards the capital.

Tianjinwei is the modern-day Tianjin, and it's also a place you can pass through on your way to Jiangnan. Their destination is Jinghai County in Tianjinwei, so they'll start there.

We traveled quickly on the road because the cement road was easy to travel on, so we reached our destination in three days.

Bobo had previously traveled to Jiangnan with Yinzhen and Yunrong, but the main purpose of the trip wasn't sightseeing; he had daily study assignments, so he rarely had time to play.

It was late summer, and Tianjin was located near the capital, so the political climate was stable and peaceful.

At least that's what Bobo sees.

Bobo and Fucha Qinglan said, "I didn't expect this place to be so lively and bustling."

Bobo also goes out of the palace on weekdays, although not often, but she has seen the bustling scenes of the capital.

Qinglan sat in the rickety carriage: "Tianjin is not far from the capital. The capital has developed rapidly in recent years, and as a neighboring city, it naturally benefits the most. It is only natural that it is bustling and prosperous."

Bobo knew this too, and nodded in agreement, saying, "That makes sense."

Looking out of the carriage, Bobo saw a very familiar shop – “Wu’s Department Store”.

Bobo couldn't help but laugh: "My aunt's shops really are everywhere."

When Fucha Mingsi learned that Prince Bobo was among those who had come with him, he had already sent people to do their homework in advance. The Emperor intended to cultivate a faction for the eldest prince, and his son had no experience in dealing with powerful and influential people, so he was afraid of breaking some taboo.

I asked around and found out everything I could, and then told my son.

Therefore, Fucha Qinglan knew about the Wu Family Department Store and that its owner was a former palace maid of the Empress, who was also the Empress's sworn sister.

Fucha Qinglan had never been to Wu's Department Store. Before Fucha Mingsi returned, the family was not short of money, but they were an "orphan and widow" at that time and did not flaunt their wealth.

As for Fucha Mingsi, after he returned, he didn't have time, so he only knew the name of Wu's Department Store and never went inside.
