Chapter 494 Going to Jiangnan
"Wait until winter!"
After listening to Guan Laoqi's proposal, Mr. Xu decisively gave a negative answer.
When adults compete in this, they can't be as casual as the kids. At the very least, it has to be like the annual dragon boat race in Anshun County.
Just making it look like a dragon boat race is not an easy task.
People in this world never do anything without benefits.
To attract people from all the villages in Anshun County, the ice skating competition had to offer a good deal of prizes. Dragon boat racing relied on tax breaks, but what did the ice skating competition rely on?
Mr. Xu is still thinking about this matter.
Of course, the most important point is that Mr. Xu is still unsure about the direction of the world situation.
For some reason, Old Master Xu always felt that the world would soon be in chaos. If the world really was in chaos, then what was the point of holding an ice skating competition?
The bustling day came to an end, but Fubao was still full of energy.
Knowing that her father had arranged for her three brothers to go to Jiangnan to buy grain, Fubao became interested.
"Dad, Mom, let's go!"
"There's nothing to do in the village anyway."
"I haven't even been to Jiangnan!"
"Mom hasn't been there either!"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, have you ever been there?"
Fubao's series of questions made the whole family interested.
Although no one in my family had ever been to Jiangnan, we had heard about it quite often. At the dock in Sanhe Town, there were often merchants from the south, all of whom were from Jiangnan.
"Wife, what do you think?"
After being asked questions repeatedly by Fubao, Mr. Xu also became a little curious.
He had never been to Jiangnan, but he had heard a lot about it. When he was little, his mother often said that she would take him to Jiangnan when she had time, saying how beautiful Jiangnan was and how great the women in Jiangnan were.
However, he never went to Jiangnan with his mother.
"I, whatever!"
Old Mrs. Xu had no special thoughts about this.
In her opinion, what Jiangnan is like has nothing to do with her. After all, they don't live in Jiangnan.
As for moving to Jiangnan, it is obviously impossible.
"Mom, let's go, let's go! The book says that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful!"
"A small bridge, flowing water, and a home; at sunrise, the river flowers are redder than fire..."
Fubao casually quoted two lines of poetry, which were obviously inconsistent with the previous one.
After hearing what Fubao said, Xu Laosan was about to show off his erudition, but before he could open his mouth, Fubao kicked him.
How could Fubao not know that her two lines of poetry did not make sense? However, this was not the time to discuss academic matters, so she kicked her third brother to deprive him of the right to speak.
"If we all leave, won't this house be empty?"
Old Mrs. Xu raised her hand and touched Fubao's head. "What will happen to the chickens and ducks at home if we leave?"
"Let Uncle Seven and the others help look after it!"
"Besides, our family doesn't lack chickens and ducks."
"Mom, go, go!"
Fubao really wants to go to Jiangnan.
To be precise, she wanted to take a good look at the world.
As a time traveler, knowing that there were previous time travelers in this world, Fubao wanted to know whether this was a different time and space, or whether history had simply taken a different path at a certain point in time.
Although she can read now, unfortunately, the books she can read are very limited.
Even though the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a time traveler, reading is still a luxury here.
Ultimately, papermaking and printing are still major problems that have not been solved.
Fubao didn't know what era the shameless founding emperor Taizu had traveled from, but judging from the current level of development of civilian science in the Tang Dynasty, this emperor Taizu should be a poor student like her.
Otherwise, according to the time-traveling emperor routine novels she had read, papermaking and printing were no big deal. The powerful time-traveling predecessors could directly create steam locomotives, and even ironclad ships and airplanes.
The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Taizu, invented gunpowder and sealed this epoch-making invention with a compassionate attitude. He also said that if anyone else came up with such a weapon that would harm the harmony of nature, the whole world would attack him.
This is a typical behavior of being a prostitute and pretending to be a saint. It is simply inhumane.
"Okay, okay, let's all go!"
It is not difficult to travel south from Xiangyi Prefecture to Jiangnan. As long as you get on the boat and go south along the Jiuqu River, you will reach Jiangnan in at most half a month.
Of course, Jiangnan is just a general term.
What specific areas does Jiangnan refer to? This is indeed a topic that needs to be discussed by professionals.
However, Fubao is not interested in this.
She only knew that she could go to the south of the Yangtze River with them, and that was all.
Thus, the business activity of going to Jiangnan to buy grain instantly turned into a family trip south for fun.
It is said that if you are rich, you can go to Yangzhou in March when fireworks are everywhere. Fubao had only known about the south of the Yangtze River through poems, but now, she can finally experience what it feels like to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person.
…
The next morning, Fubao woke up early and put on his clothes quickly.
Then, she took her short legs and ran to her beautiful master's house. Since she was going out, she had to tell her beautiful master.
As a result, when Li Nian heard that Fubao was going to Jiangnan to play, she also became interested.
So, Lu Mudan and Lu Xianer also joined the team heading south to Jiangnan.
Then, Princess Yuyan will also go with them.
This was because Princess Yuyan felt that since Mr. Xu's family was not there, and Lu Mudan and Lu Xian'er were not in the village, she did not feel safe staying in the village.
After all, her mother, the eldest princess, had ill intentions towards her and her two children.
In this way, the number of troops heading south to Jiangnan doubled.
The reason why it was so large-scale was because Princess Yuyan also had to take care of the royal babies sent by the Grand Princess.
Originally, the Xu family had five little kids traveling with them, and with the addition of these little kids brought by Princess Yuyan, the journey south was going to be really lively.
Old Master Xu was regretting his decision to go to Jiangnan with Fubao. If he had known the situation would be like this, he would never have agreed to Fubao's proposal to go to Jiangnan together.
Now it’s different, with so many little kids together, if one of them gets a headache or a fever on the way, what will happen to the trip?
"Dad, don't worry, we won't cause any trouble for you!"
Fubao spoke firmly.
She is a blessed child, God's beloved daughter.
Although there are many little kids, they are lucky to have her as their baby. If they want to get sick, they have to ask her for permission.
As for the little kids making noise, who would dare to do so while she is around?
What can Mr. Xu say?
No matter how bitter the melons you grow yourself are, you have to eat them!
So, the group rented three large boats at the dock and sailed downstream in a mighty manner.
