Du Mingrui was a little surprised, but thinking it might be a secret operation, he didn't ask any more questions.

After the sailors dropped anchor and stabilized the ship, they lowered the pedals. Seeing that it was a long-distance sailing ship, Port's officials let it pass.

Lin Jiaojiao followed Du Mingrui and the others off the boat and found that the people here had bronze skin and she couldn't understand their language, so they separated when they reached the market intersection.

She went straight to a cloth shop. The clerk knew the person was from Chaoqi Country as soon as he saw her, and hurried forward to greet her.

"Sir, what do you need?"

"Can you speak Asagi?"

The guy smiled and said, “A little bit.”

Seeing that there was no language barrier, she immediately said everything she needed.

The waiter directly took out several styles of veil hats, and she directly chose one with black gauze and one with white gauze. Both cost 200 wen, which was indeed much more expensive than what they had elsewhere.

She took out one or two taels of silver and gave it to her, because except for copper coins, all other coins were acceptable here.

The clerk found the money and handed it to her. She saw that the words on the coin had been changed to that of this country, and there was not much difference in other aspects. After putting it away, she picked up her veil and ran towards the Yuanfan.

Return to the cabin.

Lin Jiaojiao took out two veils and asked, "Which one should I wear first?"

Fu Qi looked at what she was holding. He preferred white gauze, but white was more transparent than black. He picked up the black gauze hat and put it on.

When she saw that he had made his choice, she put the white gauze one in the closet and said, "Let's go. You haven't been in the sun for the past few days. You can finally go out."

"Well, thank you, Sister Jiaojiao."

She took up the bamboo basket filled with dirty clothes and led him to the deck.

The busy sailors on the deck were a little surprised to see a man wearing a veil suddenly appear. Some wealthy businessmen would indeed bring their male favorites with them when they go out to sea, and even the boatswains would not wear veils when they go out.

Fu Qi hadn't seen the sun for such a long time, and fortunately he didn't feel any discomfort wearing the black veil. However, the gazes of the sailors around him who were working with their sleeves rolled up made him extremely uneasy, so he hurried forward and grabbed Lin Jiaojiao's sleeve.

She sensed his uneasiness and quickly hugged him, comforting him: "Don't be afraid."

The two of them went to the cloth shop where she had just bought the veil and told the clerk that they wanted ready-made clothes in their respective sizes.

After a while, the waiter brought several sets of clothes for both men and women for them to choose from. She and Fu Qi each picked two sets, for a total of three hundred and sixty cents.

She specifically asked the waiter to bring a few sets of men's clothes made of good fabrics. She was used to wearing linen so it didn't matter to her. However, she didn't expect that Fu Qi would choose linen clothes with her, and he refused to accept the brocade clothes she chose for him.

After paying the money and asking the waiter about the nearby inn, she took Fu Qi there and asked for two rooms.

Upon learning that they even provided laundry service, she quickly handed the clothes in the bamboo basket to the waiter. She had originally planned to take a quick shower and use the rest of the time to wash clothes, but now, she could finally wash herself properly.

Although she needed to wash it thoroughly, she still finished washing her hair in less than fifteen minutes. She changed her clothes and wiped her hair with a towel. When she saw that her hair was almost done, she let her hair down and handed the dirty clothes to the waiter.

Seeing that Fu Qi had not finished washing yet, she did not urge him but leaned against his door and looked around.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Fu Qi opened the door and came out. Seeing Lin Jiaojiao at the door, she was delighted and hurried forward to grab her sleeve.

She saw that his hair was still dripping with water outside his veil, so she had to pull him back into the room, close the door, take off his veil, pick up the hanging dry towel and wipe his hair.

Fu Qi was so happy that he couldn't express it in words. She was indeed as gentle and considerate as he had imagined.

When it was almost done, she picked up a wooden comb to comb his hair and then put a veil on his head.

After pulling him downstairs, she threw his dirty clothes to the waiter, who said there were a lot of clothes and asked them to come back in half an hour to pick them up.

With about an hour left, she took him to find a crowded restaurant, ordered a few signature dishes and had a good meal. She was almost vomiting from eating so much dry food in the past few days.

She also packed a salted duck. Half an hour had passed when they left the restaurant. She was not in a hurry to get clothes, but took him to buy some local fruits and food, and also bought dry food for the next three days.

Seeing that there was still some time, he took Fu Qi shopping for a while and bought some small things for his family, but he saw that Fu Qi didn't buy anything.

She told him to buy whatever he liked, and finally he bought a palm-leaf fan. It was much hotter here than in Zhouzhou. Fortunately, she was wearing a straw hat and Fu Qi was wearing a veil hat, and they walked leisurely along the way so they didn't sweat from the heat, otherwise his shower would have been in vain.

Passing by a furniture store, she immediately fell in love with a small table. She measured the size and found it was just right to be placed between the bed and the table, so she bought it immediately.

The two returned to the inn together. When the waiter saw them come back, he handed a basin of washed clothes to Lin Jiaojiao. Because the bamboo basket could no longer hold the clothes, she just bought the washing basin as well.

When they returned with a full load of things, they ran into Du Mingrui and others.

Du Mingrui was just about to say hello to Lin Jiaojiao when she noticed a man next to her who was pulling her clothes and behaving intimately with her while wearing a veil.

What the hell? ?

I haven't seen him for just a moment, how come there is this man?

She hurried forward to ask, but found that the basin she was holding was full of washed and wrung clothes.

"Lin Jiao, did you even take your clothes off to wash?" She remembered that she didn't have many clothes. No, why was she asking this? She quickly continued to ask, "Who is the man next to you?"

When Lin Jiaojiao saw her coming, she knew she couldn't avoid her, but seeing that there were other people following her, she didn't say much.

"My man, he's shy, let's not talk about it, let's go first."

Du Mingrui looked at their backs as they left, feeling a little dazed.

What about her man? She remembered that there was no man when she boarded the ship. Could he be hiding in her box?

"Tsk tsk... I can't believe it, Boss Du. I thought your sister was an honest person, but I didn't expect that she couldn't wait to find a man right after getting off the shore. No wonder she didn't come with us."

"Yes, I didn't expect your sister to be such a playboy. Also, your sister doesn't look like an honest person."

"..."

She was speechless, but she knew that Lin Jiaojiao was definitely not such a person. When she went to Zhouzhou before, she invited her several times to go to Qingguan to relieve her stress, but she refused with a look of disgust. Instead, she kept advising her to go less often because it was easy to get dirty diseases.

The two of them returned to the house together. Lin Jiaojiao pushed the table to the innermost part of the aisle, took out some fruits from the bamboo basket and placed them on the table, then put the bamboo basket under the table.

"Fu Qi, try this fruit and see if it tastes good."

Fu Qi sat at the table and picked up the fruit. He peeled off the brown-red shell and saw the crystal clear fruit inside, and handed it to her mouth.

She ate it in one bite, her eyes widened in surprise. The taste was similar to lychee, and the seeds inside were very small, sweet and delicious.
