Chapter 3371 Extra Strong Sister 25
Yang Zezhi booked a cabin in advance. This was not Bai Jingxing's first time on a boat, especially one heading to Longzhou. In the past few years, when the canal transportation was being dredged in various places, she had often traveled with her parents.
So she was very familiar with the cabin. As soon as she got on the boat, she took the sign and went there herself, and also pulled Bai Ruoyu away.
Seeing her leave happily, Yang Zezhi turned around and said to the three confused students, "Let's go. I'll take you to the cabin."
Li Han quickly followed, "Xiaoxue Yang, have you paid the money in advance?"
Yang Zezhi hummed, then smiled and said, "Didn't I ask you for a list of people traveling with us and what luggage we were going to bring? I just ordered everything according to the list."
"We'll send the money to you in a moment."
Yang Zezhi shook his head slightly, "Let's forget about this part. Once we get off the boat in Longzhou, we can settle our own affairs."
"How can we take advantage of our senior brother?"
Yang Zezhi said, "This is my selfish motive. As you all know, I was injured two years ago. Although it's not noticeable, my body is much weaker than before. I don't dare to overexert myself, so I chose to travel by water."
He apologized, "We'll be traveling together for a long time, so I hope you can bear with me. I'm weak and can't travel fast, so we might spend more time on the road than expected."
It would be difficult for most people to refuse Yang Zezhi, especially when he looked so apologetic. The three junior students quickly said, "Senior brother, you are too polite. This is what we should do. The doctor told us before we left that you didn't have to come with us, but you came because you wanted to take us with you. So it's us who are bothering you."
"Let's help each other," Yang Zezhi said with a smile. "This is a study tour. Although traveling is important, we can't slack off on studying either. So, along the way, even if we don't go to the official school to exchange and study, we still have to study, so as not to bring shame to the Imperial College if we go to the local official school."
The three of them answered in unison, "Yes." Their teacher and the doctor who was seeing them off at the Imperial College had emphasized this before they were spoken.
"I'm a few years older than you and have studied for a few more years, so if you have any questions while studying, you can ask me. This is also one of the reasons why the school let me lead the team."
The three of them looked grateful and said, "Thank you, Senior."
Yang Zezhi nodded and then talked about the journey. "The school has drawn a route for us. I looked at the map and it's best to go in a circle. That way, there will be less repetition, less time spent, and we can communicate with more officials and students."
"Shall we go to Suizhou first?"
Because going down from the north is closest to Suizhou.
Yang Zezhi shook his head. "No, we will go to Luzhou first, then go east to Yuzhou, Fuzhou, and Qianzhou, and then take another route to travel back to Hezhou."
"Wouldn't that be some overlap?"
"There are only two counties," Yang Zezhi said. "Each state covers quite a few counties. We can't just go to the prefectural school for exchanges. The county school is also very important. I heard that some of the teachers in the county school are even more powerful than those in the prefectural school. There are officials who have retired from the court, and there are also those who have retired and returned to their hometowns. Most of them live in their hometowns and occasionally give lectures in the county school, so..."
The three of them cheered up and said quickly, "We'll listen to you, Senior."
Yang Zezhi nodded and said apologetically, "Originally, the itinerary for the study tour should have been decided after discussing it with you, but I sent someone to look for you yesterday and couldn't find anyone at the school or your home, so I've decided on this route for now. If you have any good suggestions, or if there's a particular official school you'd like to visit, please let me know and we can change it along the way. After all, this is a long journey, and we'll be staying in each place for a long time, so there's time for last-minute changes."
The three of them went to have a farewell drink with their classmates yesterday. Those classmates had skipped classes to come out, so they didn't dare to say anything to Yang Zezhi, so they smiled innocently and said, "We have no objection. We will listen to Brother Yang."
"Then this matter is settled. Come, I will take you to the cabin."
This is a ship specially designed to attract passengers, so the VIP cabins on the second floor are very large, comparable to the rooms in an ordinary inn.
There were beds, tables, and wooden couches for the servants to sleep on. Yang Zezhi was very generous and booked a room for each of them.
The guards lived on the first floor.
In addition to two guards, Bai Jingxing only brought a maid named Qian Xiaoyang. Although she was called a maid, she had actually received the salary of the housekeeper, and the maids in the mansion also called her Aunt Xiaoyang.
Although she is not young, she has an innocent temperament and looks very young.
She was quite strong, though, and had been chosen by Zhou Man to work as an assistant at the Beihai Medical Bureau when he was in Qingzhou. She had learned some medical knowledge and martial arts at the bureau, and Bai Shan had taken her with him when he returned from Qingzhou.
However, the contract she signed with the Bai family was a living contract, and she was bold enough to sign it for twenty years.
Bai Shan asked her and Xibing to stay with Zhou Man because she not only knew some medical knowledge and could handle medicinal materials, but also had good kung fu skills, especially hard kung fu. She was very strong and had learned hard kung fu very well.
When Bai Jingxing was traveling this time, when choosing a maid to accompany him, Zhou Man specially gave her to Bai Jingxing because he saw that she was good at martial arts and medicine. Not only could she protect Bai Jingxing, but she could also help Bai Jingxing when he was practicing medicine.
Qian Xiaoyang is a self-twisted girl and has never been married. Although she is not very good at doing detailed waitressing work, she is very skilled in the basics.
She put down her luggage, opened the box, took out Bai Jingxing's quilt and made the bed, put the bedding she brought on the boat aside, and then began to pack the luggage in the box and put out the tea set and other things.
Bai Jingxing walked around the room, thought for a while, then activated a mechanism and pushed open the window. The room instantly became much brighter.
Qian Xiaoyang looked up and couldn't help but exclaim, "There's such a big window?"
Bai Jingxing himself was also pleasantly surprised. "This room has an excellent location. From here, you can fully see the river, and it avoids the two most crowded sides of the deck. It's great."
There is also a wooden couch next to the window where people can lean on it and look out at the scenery.
Bai Jingxing couldn't help but roll around on the couch, kicking his legs with joy and saying, "I'm so happy. I feel like I won't be bored anymore."
She looked around the room and pointed at the screen that had been tucked away. "Move that screen over here and unfold it. It will just block the bed. This way we have an inner and outer room. Brother Yang and Ruoyu can come over to play with me."
Qian Xiaoyang blinked and said, "Huh?" "I just went to serve tea to Master Tang, and his room doesn't seem to be this big."
Bai Jingxing chuckled and said, "He's not as lucky as me. This time it's finally my turn to change."
Qian Xiaoyang thought so too, and said as he packed his luggage, "Miss, you have always been very blessed."
Good night
