Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Li Er and his crew started to board the ship a few days after the ship's staff had arrived. By this time, the young apprentice couldn't wait to set sail, and some people who had boarded the ship earlier couldn't wait any longer. If they didn't move, it would be like being put in solitary confinement.

Before boarding the ship, the emperor conducted a thorough inspection of the ship to see if anyone had brought anything that should not be brought. He spent more time checking Jiang Yue and his apprentice because Jiang Yue carried all kinds of medicines and the soldiers could not recognize them. In the end, he asked the imperial physician to come and check.

Halfway through the inspection, the Queen's personal maid came over with a message, which roughly meant that if Jiang Yue wanted to harm more people, there would be plenty of opportunities, so just watch her and she would be fine. After the inspectors left, she told Jiang Yue and her apprentice that it was not because she didn't trust them, but because she was afraid that bad people would mix their things with theirs, so she asked them to be more understanding.

After the people left, Jiang Yue shook his head and said nothing. His disciple was still young and didn't understand the twists and turns here, so Jiang Yue didn't explain to her in detail. In this world, it was still necessary to maintain the necessary respect for the royal family. The inspection lasted for three to five days. After the guards had checked, the emperor asked the eunuchs and maids to check again.

Is this an exaggeration? It is not an exaggeration. The items on the ship need to be checked before use. When it comes to the emperor's safety, it is not too cautious. After the inspection of the Great Emperor, the two escort ships were also ready. They selected some auspicious days and finally picked a suitable day for going out to sea and set off.

Everyone was quite excited during the first few days after going out to sea, including the little apprentice next to her. She had forgotten the days when she cried and didn't want to be on the boat when she was a child. There were no entertainment facilities on the boat in those days. Fortunately, the emperor brought a dance team, so he could listen to some songs when he was bored. However, those who accompanied him suffered and had to rely on bragging to pass the time.

After arriving at the first city we stopped at, we all felt like donkeys that had escaped from their enclosure, and it was so comfortable to have our feet on solid ground. We all knew that sailing was not an easy thing. Arrangements for the emperor and officials after the ship docked were also a problem. It was easy to find a place to stay, but it was difficult to arrange safety issues.

In the end, the emperor lived in a mansion specially vacated by the local prefect, which was heavily guarded. The accompanying officials dispersed and looked for accommodation on their own. Master Jiang Yue and his apprentice were relaxed and just found an inn to stay in.

During the three years of traveling, they had basically been to these coastal cities. They went to the places they remembered and saw that things had changed and many things were gone, but some delicious shops were still open. They ordered something to eat, and when they came out, the young apprentice said to Jiang Yue: "Master, it doesn't taste as good as before, right?"

"Things haven't changed, but people have. People's memories of the past will be embellished. The mood at this moment is not the same as the mood at that moment. Not to mention a few years, even a three-month interval may make the taste different."

While strolling around the city, I saw quite a few patrol teams. These should be arranged by local officials. If something really happens during the emperor's patrol, then those officials would most likely be finished. Even if the incident had nothing to do with them, they would still be charged with the crime of negligence. Didn't you see that all the acrobatic troupes performing fire-breathing or sword-swallowing performances were ordered to disband.

The ruffians who used to roam around the city have also disappeared. Jiang Yue has reason to believe that it is possible to not pick up things on the road now. If someone picks up money on the road, they have to hand it over to the government office. The master and his disciple continue to stroll around the city, feeling the subtle changes that have occurred in the city because of the emperor's visit.

Jiang Yue returned to the inn after dinner. Because the emperor didn't need Jiang Yue anymore, Jiang Yue and his apprentice planned to revisit the Taoist temple on the mountain outside the city. They had been to this Taoist temple a few years ago. When they arrived, the original Taoist priest had gone somewhere else. The master and apprentice didn't know the people here, so they left at noon.

On the way down the mountain, Jiang Yue saw a group of people coming up the mountain from afar. When he got closer, he found that they were the people on the boat. They were slightly surprised to see Jiang Yue and his disciples, and then smiled and said, "We heard that this Taoist temple is quite old, so we came to see it. We didn't expect to meet you two here."

"My master and I came here when we were traveling a few years ago, but unfortunately things have changed and the old friend is no longer here."

After saying hello, they continued to go up the mountain. Jiang Yue and his apprentice continued to go down the mountain. After returning to the city, they bought some fruits and snacks, as well as a lot of storybooks. The food on the ship was rather monotonous. The two escort ships were okay, but the food on Jiang Yue's ship was mainly for the emperor, so the food for their entourage was naturally much worse.

Jiang Yue believed that there were definitely more than just the master and his apprentice who came to buy food and toys. Jiang Yue originally wanted to buy a small stove to cook for himself, but then he thought that this was not appropriate. If people knew about it, they would think that he was not giving face to the emperor. Buying snacks could be said to be greedy, but buying this means the emperor is not giving him food.

After buying the things, they put them on the boat when there were few people around. On the way, they met people who shared the same idea as them. They looked at each other and found that they were like-minded. There was no need to greet each other specially. They understood each other's intention with just a smile. A few days later, the emperor learned about this. He knew that this was not appropriate, so he ordered the soldiers to add more food so that the ministers would not go hungry.

Because it was the first stop of this tour, the emperor stayed here for a few more days, about one or two days over a week. It is not realistic to say that all aspects were handled properly, but the very evil and bad officials were dealt with, so the people's lives could be much better. On the day they left, the people on the shore were all shouting, "The emperor is wise and wise, and long live the emperor!"

With the experience from the previous journey, this time everyone bought a lot of things to kill time. The most popular game was mahjong, which was the most suitable game for killing time. Of course, the ministers and the emperor didn't play it, as they were busy discussing state affairs with the emperor. Most of the people who played were female relatives, who originally played to entertain the queen, but the queen didn't have to accompany her all the time.

Originally Jiang Yue wanted to go fishing, but there were guards guarding the boat. Fishing is allowed, but what if you catch a knife or something else? You hold the fish and say that you caught the fish, but who knows if there is a book or sword in the fish's belly? So it is better to ban this sport, it is too dangerous.

So Jiang Yue's fishing equipment was taken in vain. She planned to get rid of these things after arriving at the next city. The room on the boat was not big and it would take up space. The little apprentice had been following the protagonist around these days. It seemed that the protagonist had come up with some topic for the students of the academy to study, and she sneaked in to study.
