The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

After waiting in the carriage for a month and a half, the Su family was finally not far from Qiongzhou Island.

Along the way, a few servants occasionally suffered from acclimatization problems, but none of them were serious.

They didn't encounter any bandits or anything. After all, in addition to the guards the Su family brought, there were also the personal guards assigned to Su's father by the Duke of Zhenguo.

Each of them had a big knife on his waist. Ordinary bandits didn't dare to rob them, and powerful bandits didn't want to cause trouble for officials.

Now they are resting in a coastal city, preparing to purchase some supplies before going to the island.

The name of the city was Fanyu City, and Su Weixi felt that it was similar to a coastal city in modern times.

It was almost dark when they arrived at Panyu City, so they rested at the post station.

The next morning, Father Su went to the yamen early.

Father Su was an official who was going to Qiongzhou Island to take up his post, and he brought so many family members and servants with him. If he took the relevant documents to register at the government office, the government office would arrange a special official ship to take him to Qiongzhou Island.

After Su's father finished registering, the official in charge of registration said that it would take two days for a boat to take Su's father and his family to the island.

Dad Su went back to the post station first and took Su Weixi and others out shopping.

The family of six went out shopping without any servants.

Yes, there are six people in the family, and Awen has been officially adopted as a son by Su's father and mother.

Su's parents had always treated Awen as their own child and had long wanted to adopt him as their adopted son. But Awen refused to agree, thinking that he was unworthy and that the Su family was already doing him a great favor by taking him in.

It was not until the last battle, when he blocked a knife for Su's father, that Su's father brought up the matter again, and Awen agreed.

Su Ma's servants have a day off and can stay in the post station or go out for a walk.

There were indeed quite a few people who were curious, and after thanking Su's father and mother, they went out for a walk in groups of three or five.

"Wow, sister, look, that person looks so weird!"

Ningning suddenly tugged at Su Weixi's hand, motioning Su Weixi to squat down, and whispered in Su Weixi's ear about the person in front.

Su Weixi looked in the direction the little girl pointed and saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner who was bargaining with the vendor in awkward Dasheng dialect.

"Silly girl, they are foreigners. They are born like this, different from us."

Dad Su also heard his little girl's so-called "whisper" and picked up Ningning to explain.

"Dad, why did they come to our Dasheng?" This was asked by An An. He was also very curious about these foreigners with unique looks and curly hair.

"Our new emperor of Dasheng has ascended the throne, so naturally they will come to congratulate him." Father Su explained.

In fact, before coming to the coastal area, the Su family did not know that Da Sheng allowed maritime trade.

I knew I was going to Qiongzhou Island. After asking some colleagues and reading some books, Su's father got to know more about the coastal city.

For example, Panyu City, where they are currently located, is the important and only maritime trading port of Dasheng.

All foreigners who want to come to Dasheng by sea need to disembark at the port of Panyu City, and then go to the Maritime Customs Office in Panyu to register before they can go to the capital or some cities in Dasheng.

Panyu is indeed a prosperous port city, which is far beyond the reach of border towns and Qingzhou prefecture city.

Both sides of the street are paved with blue bricks and gray tiles. From the signs hanging on each store, one can see that many of them are time-honored shops.

Not far from the shop, there are many small vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road, some selling snacks and some small gadgets.

An An and Ning Ning walked and stopped along the way and bought a lot of interesting little gadgets.

After walking around for a while, Dad Su bought a few meat buns and asked a street beggar which restaurant in the city was more famous.

After learning that Yue Lai Restaurant is a famous local restaurant with delicious food, the group went to Yue Lai Restaurant for lunch.

"Oh, six guests, please come in! Do you want to go to the lobby or the private room upstairs?"

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Yuelai Restaurant, the waiter greeted them warmly.

Seeing that Su Weixi and his companions were well dressed, he asked if they needed a private room.

Dad Su looked at Mom Su and let her decide.

"There are private rooms upstairs, so let's go upstairs." Su Ma said to the waiter.

"All right, ma'am. Please come upstairs."

When the waiter heard that they wanted a private room, the smile on his face became even more friendly, and he immediately led the way to the second floor.

The private room has a good view. From the window, you can see the river next to the restaurant, and you can also see the street across the river clearly.

"This is our menu. Sir, madam, young ladies and gentlemen, please take a look and see what you would like to order?" said the waiter while pouring tea.

"Please tell us about the specialties of your place." Su Ma replied casually while flipping through the menu in her hand.

"Okay, ma'am. The most famous dish in our restaurant is the crispy roast goose made by Master Huang. Everyone who comes to our restaurant will order this dish. We also have boiled chicken, which has delicious and tender meat, and the traditional fire soup..." The waiter eloquently introduced the special dishes of his own restaurant.

"Let's have one portion of everything you just mentioned, and give everyone a portion of ginger milk." After listening to the waiter's introduction, Su Ma ordered one portion of all the special dishes.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon." The waiter quickly left the private room.

After waiting for half an hour, the dishes were served. Everyone was already quite hungry, and since they were all family, they each picked up their bowls and ate quickly.

When we were almost done eating, the waiter brought us ginger milk.

During the live performance of ginger milk, Ningning and Anan exclaimed in amazement when they saw the spoon standing firmly on the milk skin.

I couldn't wait to pick up the ginger milk and start tasting it.

Su Weixi found it very funny. She had made ginger milk for them before, but she always cooked the dish in the kitchen and served it on the table. The two little ones didn’t see the milk solidify.

"Sister, this is similar to the double skin milk you made before." An An thought of the double skin milk that Su Weixi made before.

“But double skin milk has jam, but this one doesn’t, and it also has a ginger flavor,” Ningning commented.

"Because they are both made with milk, just with different cooking methods. Ginger milk is more tender and has a different taste." Su Weixi explained to the two little ones.

After finishing their meal, they strolled around for a while and then returned to the post station.

The next day, Su Weixi really didn't want to go shopping anymore, so he lay down at the inn to rest.

Dad and Mom Su took the two energetic and curious kids out for a walk and bought some supplies.

On the third day after arriving in Panyu, the Su family boarded the official ship bound for Qiongzhou Island.

Ancient ships were not very fast and it took three days of sailing on the sea to reach Qiongzhou Island.

Su Weixi and Su's father and mother had all been on a boat in their previous lives, and neither of them suffered from seasickness.

Almost everyone else was seasick, including Ningning, Anan, Awen and the servants, especially the elderly maids and Butler Sun.

The guards looked fine, but their faces were extremely pale.

Seeing this situation, Su Ma did not ask anyone to come and serve them for the past few days, and let them stay in their cabins to rest.

He also gave money and medicine to the cook on the ship, asking her to boil medicine for everyone.

Su Weixi took the opportunity to add some spiritual spring water into the medicine jar, but the spiritual spring water did not seem to be a panacea and had little effect on seasickness.

In this way, after drifting on the boat for three days, the Su family finally saw Qiongzhou Island.
