In the evening, everyone drank fish soup. Not to mention, the fish in the Mingjiang River tasted delicious. Ling Sanlang ate three large cakes with the fish soup, which made Lan Yanhang, who was sitting aside and watching, sigh. It's true that a half-grown man is a poor man.

After dinner, because she was too full, Ling Xiaoxiao was afraid that Ling Sanlang would accumulate food, so she asked Ling Erzhuang to accompany Ling Sanlang back and forth by the river, while she took the steward of the Lan family to arrange the accommodation for everyone to camp tonight. Although everything was tidied up during the day and the tents were set up, we couldn't rely on the two siblings for the night vigil!

Although the two siblings can do it, there are always areas that cannot be taken care of, so it is still necessary to arrange some young servants of the Lan family to accompany them to watch the night. In the first half of the night, Ling Sanlang led a few people to watch the night, and in the second half of the night, Ling Xiaoxiao led the vigil. Keep people vigil.

The camp slowly became quiet until the end of Xu Shi. In the first half of the night, Ling Sanlang led people to keep watch, so they lit a fire. Although the weather in Jiangnan was already very warm, it was still relatively cold at night.

The first half of the night passed peacefully. In the middle of the night, Ling Xiaoxiao and the other young men took over the vigil. In the early hours of the morning, that is, around nine o'clock in the morning, Ling Xiaoxiao was alarmed by the sound of horse hooves. He got up and walked toward the horse's hooves. When she heard the sound, she couldn't see anything because it was too dark. For safety reasons, she followed a few young men.

"You guys stay here and I'll go take a look."

Just after walking a few dozen meters away, he saw two people approaching on horseback. Ling Xiaoxiao recognized this person at a glance as a servant of the Lan family. The person was also startled when he suddenly saw Ling Xiaoxiao, and looked at him with a torch. Ling Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief after understanding.

"It's Miss Ling, you scared me."

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded when she saw that she was a servant of the Lan family.

"Well, I'm back, then go find your master!"

After Ling Xiaoxiao said that, she turned back to the camp and continued to sit. Thinking of what Mr. Lan said yesterday, she thought that these were the people from their Yue family's merchant ship. She just didn't know how the ship was arranged and whether they could board it today.

After eating in the morning, Lan Yanhang said with a smile on his face.

"After noon today, the boat to pick us up will arrive. Then we can take the boat down and we won't have to be so tired anymore."

Man Niang also came over with the little girl in her arms. I think it was because she came from a wealthy family. Man Niang rarely got off the carriage. The only time she got off was because the little girl insisted on getting off, so she followed helplessly.

As soon as the little girl saw Ling Xiaoxiao, she stretched out her little arms to ask Ling Xiaoxiao to hug her. Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, stepped forward to pick her up, and gave her a few lifts, which made the little girl happy immediately. He chuckled.

Ling Erzhuang was very happy when he heard that he could board the ship in the afternoon. To be honest, Ling Erzhuang was still unsure about going to Yongzhou Mansion and what to do when he got there, even though Ling Xiaoxiao said that his family was not short of money. Moreover, on the way, Ling Xiaoxiao also robbed the tens of thousands of taels of silver notes given to the leader of the man in black, which also felt unreal to him.

Now when he heard that Lan Yanhang said that they could board the boat in the afternoon, he also inquired. It would take more than a day to get on the boat from here to Yongzhou Mansion, which meant that they could reach Yongzhou Mansion by tomorrow evening.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the afternoon, a large cargo ship docked nearby. The servants of the Lan family began to move things on the ship. After all the luggage was moved, they began to drive the carriage and lead the horses onto the ship. Ling Erzhuang arrived at this time Only then was he really relieved. He didn't know that the ships in this Jiangnan land were so big, and that carriages and horses could even be brought on board.

On the ship, the escort mission of the Ling family was actually over, so the Ling family was arranged in two warehouses, just like in an inn. Ling Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yun empress lived in one warehouse, and Ling Erzhuang and his son lived in the same warehouse. Another room.

Because there were a lot of people and a lot of luggage, it was already dark after loading all the things on the boat. The Ling family thought they could just deal with them casually in the cabin, but they didn't expect Lan Yanhang to have someone bring them. Ordered several dishes and some rice.

"Miss Ling, please forgive me. We are on a boat now. It is too shabby. My master said that when we get to Yongzhou Mansion, we will treat you well. I will make do with you on the boat today."

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of her and sighed in her heart, this wealthy family is really luxurious. These few dishes were something that the previous Ling family could not even imagine.

"Haha, Mr. Lan is so polite. You don't have to pay so much attention when you are away from home. Besides, these dishes are already very good. I hope that grandma will go back and thank Mr. Lan on our behalf."

Ling Erzhuang has gained a lot of knowledge these days following Lan Yanhang, and he can also speak in some scenes. Before Ling Xiaoxiao could say anything, he hurriedly spoke.

Ling Xiaoxiao was also surprised, but she was also very relieved. She would leave as soon as they were sent to Yongzhou Mansion, and the original owner would return. However, the original owner's temperament was very different from hers. Ling Xiaoxiao was very surprised. Sanlang also learned martial arts. When he arrived in Yongzhou Mansion, he was taken care of by Lan Yanhang, so he would not be bullied. However, after all, he was still a young man, and it was difficult to establish a family for the time being. He still needed Ling Erzhuang to show up. His current performance is actually Ling Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.

After the family had eaten, they waited for the servants of the Lan family to take away the leftovers, rinsed their mouths, and then sat in the cabin to chat.

"Erya, I heard that we can go to Yongzhou Mansion tomorrow evening. How should we arrange this?"

Although Ling Erzhuang has gained a lot of knowledge with Lan Yanhang during this period, he is still just a farmer after all, and has never read a book. He only knows a few words taught by Ling Xiaoxiao during this period, but when something happens, At that time, he was still a little unassertive. Ling Xiaoxiao also knew this, and it was impossible to become a big fat man in one bite.

"Dad, I've thought about it. After we arrive in Yongzhou Prefecture tomorrow, we will find an inn to stay in. The day after tomorrow, we will go to Yixing first. Let's buy a house in Yongzhou Prefecture first. This is a must-buy."

Seeing the expressions of disapproval between Ling Erzhuang and Zhou Yunniang, Ling Xiaoxiao knew why they had such expressions and hurriedly waved her hands.

"Father, mother, listen to me. I know you two are thinking of buying a piece of land in the countryside and continuing to farm. But you also don't think about it. Is farming in the south the same as in the north? And our family There is no shortage of money now, and buying a house is also the first step for our family to establish a foothold in Yongzhou Prefecture. No matter what, we have to have a home here in Yongzhou Prefecture before we can think about what to do in the future!"
