Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

She was too sick to do anything.

Jiang Si comforted him softly, "It's okay, you should have a good rest. The journey by water will only take two days and two nights."

"You will get through it if you just hold on."

Jiang Si was not seasick. She had never been on a seasick in her previous life, so she found it particularly strange.

The wind on the deck at night was damp, and the sea was particularly beautiful at night.

A bright moon slowly rises from the sea level.

Jiang Si thought of a line of poetry she once remembered: The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world.

The water ripples, phosphorescent in the moonlight, and the starry sky is reflected in the water.

It looks so beautiful that it seems dreamy and unreal.

The old boatman looked at Jiang Si and said with a smile, "Madam, have you never been on a boat before?"

Jiang Si turned around and smiled and replied, "Yes, this is the first time in my life."

The old boatman smiled and said, "My boat has received many people, some of whom have been on a boat before and some of whom have not."

"Some are like the girl next to the lady, who is dizzy and vomiting, and feels weak all over."

“Some people don’t care to see the scenery.”

“There are also people like you who are curious about everything because it’s their first time.”

"We make a living on the water, and we are numb to all this. Only people like you would be amazed."

Jiang Si tilted her head to look at the scenery on the water. It was indeed beautiful, wasn’t it?

When they heard footsteps, Jiang Si and the old boatman looked over together and saw Zhou Jingxuan wearing a long gown casually, with his long hair tied casually behind his head with a headband.

The cold wind lifted the long hair beside his ears, making him look handsome and seductive.

He held a red cloak in his hand, strode forward and put the cloak on Jiang Si.

"You disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"I knew at once that you must have come to this deck to enjoy the scenery."

"It's cold at night, take care of yourself."

Zhou Jingxuan straightened Jiang Si's body and tied the cloak. Jiang Si's small face, as big as a palm, was made to look delicate and charming by the red cloak.

Zhou Jingxuan pulled her to a high place and sat down: "The scenery at night is really beautiful."

Jiang Si leaned on Zhou Jingxuan and nodded.

The two of them leaned against each other and admired the beautiful scenery they had never seen before. The old boatman and his son watched from afar, with tenderness in their eyes.

"Mr. Zhou and his wife have such a good relationship."

After saying this, he told his sons not to disturb him.

Jiang Si fell asleep outside and Zhou Jingxuan carried her back in the middle of the night.

The next day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining. A large ship slowly approached. The old boatman's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted to the other side: "Hello, Mr. Xu."

The man standing at the bow smiled and nodded to the old boatman.

Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si also saw it, and the old boatman explained to them with a happy face: "The boat on the opposite side is the Xu family's boat."

"We are so lucky that we ran into the Xu family's boat and Mr. Xu was on board."

"It's definitely safe this time."

Seeing that Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan were confused, he slowly explained to them.

The Xu family is a famous wealthy family. Their goods are often transported by water, and they always bring a lot of guards with them.

Whenever those pirates encountered the Xu family's ships, they were unwilling to pay a high price to rob property.

The Xu family is wealthy and powerful, with many guards. Robbing the Xu family's property is undoubtedly asking for trouble.

So as long as we meet the Xu family, we will be safe.

Xu Ning looked at Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan, frowned, and a look of scrutiny appeared in his eyes.

Then he said loudly: "Since we have met, it is fate."

"It seems that this brother didn't bring many guards. Bandits are rampant on the water. If the route is similar, why don't you go with me?"

"It's safer this way."

When someone showed goodwill, Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan were naturally not the kind of people who would not know what was good for them.

Zhou Jingxuan clasped his fists towards him and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "Thank you very much, Brother Xu."

Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "It's just a piece of cake."

The old boatman's face was full of excitement, because this meant that he had secured the money for this trip.

Jiang Si and his crew's route was similar to Xu Ning's, with two boats, one large and one small, sailing one in front and one behind.

To express their gratitude, Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si went to Xu Ning's boat in the afternoon to express their gratitude.

Only after boarding Xu Ning's boat did Jiang Si realize how shabby the boat they rented was.

The Xu family’s ship has three floors, and the furnishings inside are extremely exquisite.

The boat sailed as steadily as if it were on shore.

Through communication, Xu Ning returned home with his younger brothers and sisters and the goods.

It was already extremely dangerous on the water, so he thought that since he had met the person, he would help if he could.

Zhou Jingxuan and his crew’s ship was not big, and the end could be seen at a glance, and the number of guards could also be seen at a glance.

That's why he casually asked them to go together.

It was just a piece of cake, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

After a quick glance earlier, Xu Ning felt that Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan looked too good.

They don’t look like a poor family.

And now, as they were sitting face to face, he was even more surprised. The manners of these two people were somewhat noble, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

He said tentatively: "Brother Zhou and his wife don't look like people from Huainan."

Zhou Jingxuan took a sip of wine and said, "My wife and I are both from the capital, and we are planning to travel south this time."

As for the people from the capital, Xu Ning had a clearer idea in his mind.

The people in the capital cannot be underestimated, because they are under the emperor's feet and no one can look down on them.

He treated Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan with more courtesy, and he also had his own plans in mind.

One more connection means one more path.

When he left Xu Ning's boat, he had already had a very pleasant conversation with Zhou Jingxuan. It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was shining brightly on the water, which was very beautiful.

Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, and it was the old boatman's movement that woke her up.

The old boatman and his son were moving things, as if they were setting up a simple mechanism.

There was nothing like this the night before, so Zhou Jingxuan asked curiously, "Boatman, what are you doing?"

The old boatman looked up and glanced into the distance: "The waters we are going to pass by today are where those pirates often operate."

"Although Mr. Xu asked us to go with him, we still have to be prepared just in case."

"Master and Madam, if anything unusual happens at night, you will board Mr. Xu's boat."

"With their protection, the pirates dare not act rashly."

Zhou Jingxuan glanced at the old boatman: "What about you guys?"

The old boatman smiled helplessly: "If you all leave, and we are a poor family, where can we get any money and property? I think they will let us go."

That being said, those pirates were vicious people. How could they be as he said?

I'm afraid I'll kill them to vent my anger.

Jiang Si was awakened by a commotion at night, and then the old boatman's son knocked on the door and shouted, "Master and Madam, hurry up and get up."

"The pirates, the pirates are coming!"
