It was spring, and the Kuaiji Qingtan would begin in five days. A group of cousins ​​stood in front of Xie Xian. Xie Yao smiled at Xie Xian in a flattering manner. She glanced at the group of sisters around her and her face blushed slightly.

Yesterday I heard that the daughter of the second branch was going to a grand gathering of literary discussions, and all the sisters in the clan who wanted to go came to her house to ask to go.

Xie Xian agreed to marry into the first wife's family, so the other wives couldn't be left behind.

She rubbed her forehead, thinking it was a mistake. She hadn't even set out yet, but ended up being blocked at the door. Looking at her sisters' expectant looks, she felt helpless.

"Sister Xian, it's not easy for us sisters to go on a long journey, and it's not convenient for the gentlemen to take us with us, so we come to you for help!"

Xie Xian knew that it was indeed not easy for women to go out in this era, and the grand gathering of elegant conversation only happened once every three years, which was very rare. Many girls would never have the chance to go there in their entire lives after they got married.

With the idea of ​​raising her daughter in wealth and in order to broaden the sisters' horizons, Xie Xian said that she would definitely take care of Xie Minyan, whether she let one sheep go or drove a flock of sheep.

"I can take you with me, but there is one thing you must do. You must obey my orders when you are outside. Only those who pass the military training exam can go with me."

It is impossible for Xie Xian to bring too many servants this time. Each girl can only bring one maid, so they have to take care of most things by themselves. If they can't do it, Xie Xian will not consider it at all.

Several girls hesitated, some agreed, some backed out. Xie Wenfeng gritted his teeth in his heart, how could a girl travel without servants? If she had to do everything by herself, it would be disgraceful.

But for her own future, she must cheer up and not be eliminated at the beginning.

Xie Xian set rules and informed each family that if she went out with someone, she must get her parents’ consent, and she had to take care of the people and things she brought with her.

She has no patience. The luggage must be simple. She goes out for business, not for travel, so she packs light except for the necessities.

Qing Dai reported with a pen and paper, "I have asked Doctor Xiao Wang to prepare the seasickness medicine, and the leather bag that Lady Lord mentioned seems to be insufficient!"

"Just prepare as many as you can!" Xie Xian rubbed her brows. They would be staying on the boat for two days, so some safety measures were necessary.

The last time she was nearly thrown off the boat by the trawl, she came up with the idea of ​​making life jackets, but there was no plastic, so she could only make a few swimming rings using urinary bladders and leather bags.

Just now, Mrs. Lu came to see her and gave her the address of the Kuaiji Villa. This villa was her dowry, and they would have a place to live there.

Xie Xian was still confident about a tour group that would last less than ten days.

Xie Minyan came in after lifting the curtain. "Aye asked me to bring you a message. I heard that our ship might pick up some people along the way this time."

Xie Xian: ? And there are people who share the boat with them.

From Chenjun to Kuaiji, you take the water route, pass Jiujiang, enter the East China Sea, and then go south along the coastline. During the journey, you will pass the famous Yangtze River estuary, and then you will reach Kuaiji.

That place is a famous sea salt producing area. Those who rush to Kuaiji all have some connections. Two of the three ships under his command have been transferred away. Xie Xian sighed and realized that it is true that having something by yourself is not as good as having it by your parents. Even if you have a husband or a wife, you still have to kneel down and beg for it.

I think with this trip, not only can I get the shipping fee, but I can also earn a lot of favors.

Xie Xian made up her mind that she must have a few ships of her own in the future.

Now he could only agree, but fortunately the last boat left was not small, divided into two floors. Xie Xian, Xie Yao and other ten women and maids in total only occupied five rooms.

Most of the seats on the boat are still empty. Xie Xian brought Qingdai and Tu Zhen with her this time. Xie Xian went there with the idea of ​​attending a job exchange meeting and joining in the fun since she was already here.

"Madam, I heard that most of the famous and romantic men in the court will gather there, and many ladies say that it is worth their life to go there," after all, it's not shameful to see handsome men.

A group of young ladies were chattering together, so I didn’t feel bored on the road.

One day later, when we passed Jiujiang, several people came up one after another, but most of them were girls, but there was only one man.

"My lady, it seems that the Cui family has made a thoughtful arrangement," Qingdai had already gone to inquire, and only three young ladies came up, namely the Wang family, the Ma family, and the Qian family.

"It is said that the last gentleman to board the ship was not feeling well and never came out after entering the room," Qingdai patted his chest and thanked God that this was a good thing, as the ship was full and no one else would board.

Madam Wang Yu is a straightforward person. She knows the young lady from the Ma family. The young lady from the Qian family is also a very versatile person. According to Qingdai, she is quite similar to the sixth sister Xie Huanlang in the family.

The girls on the deck were chattering away,

Wang Yu, the young lady of the Wang family, is the legitimate daughter of the third wife, and the Xie family and the Wang family have always been on good terms, so when Xie Yao gives her name, she naturally has a say.

Both of them are legitimate daughters, and they take good care of their younger brothers and sisters. Xie Xian dislikes their noise and rests in the cabin in the morning.

It was not until the afternoon when the other families met Xie Xian that they realized that the leader of the Xie family this time was the daughter of the second branch.

Xie Xian walked downstairs slowly. The weather was slightly warm, so she wore a red and black horse-faced skirt, a leopard jacket with a picture of a man standing on a black stone embroidered on his chest, an arm guard on her right hand, and a jade belt around her waist.

With his ponytail tied high, a jade crown and necklaces on his head, and a lazy expression on his handsome face, he looks like a playboy.

When she came closer, Xie Xian yawned and asked, "What are we having for dinner today?" She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the girls, making them blush.

Xie Minyan twitched her lips. She couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear it at all! Every time my sister dressed up as a man, she would make people look at her and her heart would beat fast.

"Sister! It's still fish today!"

Xie Xian frowned in disdain, "Forget it, let's just make grilled fish today!" She called Qingdai over, took out the seasonings, and planned to do it herself.

She bowed to the other girls and said with a smile, "If the food is not tasty, you sisters can't blame me."

After hearing her speak, several girls realized that Xie Xian was the second daughter of the Xie family, but they were not used to it for a while. They found her words interesting and laughed softly with their hands covering their mouths.

Wang Yu stepped forward generously: "Madam Xian, do you do things yourself at home?" She was a little curious, as she was the daughter of a legitimate wife and had been brought up with strict family education.

In addition to studying, the housekeeper also started learning early. He usually dealt with mostly the ladies in the back house, but today he didn't expect to meet Xie Xian, an exception.

At first, Xie Yao said that when she and her sisters went out, they were looked after by the female ruler of the second branch. She had heard a little about the Black Stone Guard of the second branch of the Xie family and thought that she was a strong and sturdy female warrior.

When I saw him in person, he was so handsome and heroic, with such evil eyes and eyebrows that made people blush and their hearts beat faster. He looked just like the young knight in the storybooks.

Although they knew that Xie Xian was a girl, they just couldn't control their eyes.
