——
After several days of sailing, the group finally arrived at their first destination, Yongqing County. Fortunately, Wen Mianmian and the children were not seasick, otherwise they would have suffered for the next few days.
The governor here had already made preparations to welcome the emperor, and the accommodation had also been prepared long ago.
Wen Mianmian and Liu Fujin's families were arranged to live in a small courtyard.
This small farm looks small, but it is very elegant inside. The most amazing thing is that there is a winding and rugged stream near the garden in the courtyard. There is a small arch bridge on both sides of the stream for people to pass through. The stream is also planted with exotic flowers and plants. You can smell the fragrance of flowers while walking on the bluestone path, and the smell is intoxicating.
After listening to the introduction of the servants here, Wen Mianmian and others realized that behind this small courtyard was the back mountain, and there happened to be a natural spring there, and the water in this stream flowed from there.
I heard that the construction of this stream took a lot of effort. After all, it must have cost a lot to build such a beautiful stream.
This shows that the owner of this courtyard is quite rich.
"The scenery here is quite nice. Looking at such a beautiful view can make people feel much better, don't you think so, Mianmian?"
"Indeed, the environment here is quiet and cool. Living here really makes people feel happy."
There are mountains and water here, so it is naturally cooler than other places.
Although it is called a small manor, it is not small at all inside. It is completely different from what it looks like from the outside. There are several courtyards inside, and they are all quite large. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big manor.
Wen Mianmian lived in the courtyards on the left, while Liu Fujin and others lived in the courtyards on the right.
After making the decision, the group separated at a small path.
The servants brought Wen Mianmian and the others to a small courtyard. There was another courtyard ahead, and Wen Mianmian and the children were in a separate courtyard.
Li and others lived in one yard.
"Concubine Wen, we're here. This is where you'll be staying. Please check if you're short of anything. If you need anything during this time, you can send someone to tell me." The housekeeper here said with a cheerful smile.
"Everything here is fully prepared. It's great. Thank you, ma'am." Wen Mianmian said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good. If there's anything you need, just tell me."
Wen Mianmian glanced at Shancha, who walked up and handed the housekeeper a purse.
"Thank you, my lady."
The housekeeper knew that there must be a lot of money here when she held the bulging purse in her hand, and her heart was filled with joy. This noble person in the capital was really generous.
"The concubine and the young princesses and princes will rest first. I will go down first."
The housekeeper was also a very perceptive person and knew that these nobles would definitely not like to be disturbed by others.
After the housekeeper and others left, almost all the people here were brought by Wen Mianmian, leaving only a few servants who were responsible for cleaning the yard.
"Mammy, please ask someone to prepare the meal. We've been on the boat for several days and have been eating fish for several days. It's time to change the taste."
Wen Mianmian is really tired of eating fish these days.
Nanny Song had been with her for so many years, so naturally she knew the concubine's taste.
"Yes, I will prepare it right away."
Shancha, Shannai and others replaced the quilts and other things in the room with those that Wen Mianmian brought herself.
Everyone will only stay here for two days, and after two days they will continue to sail south.
So Wen Mianmian didn't let them take out everything.
The next day, Wen Mianmian and others wanted to go for a walk on the street after a good rest. They originally wanted to invite Sixth Concubine to go with them, but Sixth Concubine said that Second Prince had eaten something bad and had a stomachache last night, so she refused.
"Mianmian, you go. I won't go. But if you come across anything delicious or fun, just bring some back to me."
"That's fine, but is Second Prince okay?" Wen Mianmian said worriedly.
"It's okay. I've already asked the accompanying imperial physician to check it out. He just ate something bad. He's feeling much better now after taking the medicine."
"That's good."
After they chatted for a while, Wen Mianmian took the five children out.
On the way, Yuanyuan carefully pulled her mother's sleeve and said, "Mother, I can use my own money to buy delicious food today."
When talking about eating Yuanyuan, he didn't forget to lick the corner of his mouth.
"Do you still have money?" Wen Mianmian asked curiously, looking down at Yuanyuan, who was not even as tall as her waist.
The round eyes rolled around and he made a gesture with his little finger, "Hey, just a little bit."
Wen Mianmian knew from the look on his face that there was more to it than what he said.
Among the quadruplets, Yuanyuan is the most clever. Wen Mianmian knows how much pocket money they have better than they themselves.
"Okay, but there are so many of us here. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for you to buy it only for yourself?"
Yuanyuan subconsciously held the bulging purse in her arms tightly.
He said nervously, "Mother, I only have a little money, really only a little."
Wen Mianmian found it a little funny to see him worried that he would run out of money.
She suppressed her laughter and said, "Yuanyuan wants to eat alone."
Yuanyuan shook his head. He didn’t want to eat alone. He was a good boy.
Then, Yuanyuan paid for almost everything everyone ate afterwards.
Wen Mianmian, Manman and the others were holding the snacks they had just bought, including cakes, sesame cakes, and candied haws...
Even Xiaobai was holding a big chicken drumstick in his mouth, which was golden yellow.
They couldn't hold it all, and the servants behind them had a lot in their hands.
Yuanyuan held his deflated purse, sobbing, all his change was gone.
However, seeing her mother and brothers and sisters laughing so happily, Yuanyuan had to suppress her heartache and stuff her empty purse into her arms.
Then he followed with a bad mood, holding the delicious food he had just bought.
There were two people sitting on the second floor of a restaurant less than a hundred meters away from Wen Mianmian and others.
When Wen Mianmian and the others walked over, the thing on the waist of the person upstairs actually moved.
The man was surprised and quickly took out the thing from his waist. It was a map made of some unknown leather.
"Master, what are you doing..." The young monk sitting opposite him had a look of shock in his eyes.
The old monk quickly walked to the window and looked down.
I'd like to know what makes this map react.
Sure enough, as he walked to the window, the map in his hand trembled even more violently.
The old monk felt that if he didn't have a bag with the map locked in it around his waist, he was sure that the map would fly away.
However, there were so many people below that the old monk couldn't tell who made the map react for the first time.
