A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

After boarding the ship, Lin He'er didn't go straight back to her cabin. Instead, she found a spot at the front of the ship and enjoyed the scenery on both banks.

Kaiyang County is almost a day away from Guangde Prefecture by passenger ship, and it would be quite boring to spend the whole day in the cabin.

This marks the true arrival of summer. From Kaiyang County to Guangde Prefecture, the entire route passes through vast farmlands on both banks. In summer, the fields on both sides are close to the river, so they are mostly paddy fields.

Seeing the paddy fields, Lin He'er couldn't help but think of the letter that Xiao Yang Village had sent a few days ago.

In the letter, Wen Dazhuang mentioned that his paddy field had undergone a major transformation after using the method Lin He'er had suggested. In Wen Dazhuang's words, if compared with other families in the village, the rice seedlings were now in a much better condition.

The rice seedlings in our field are taller and stronger than those in other people's fields in the village.

When the autumn harvest comes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the harvest will definitely be better than that of other families.

Now Wen Dazhuang completely trusts his daughter-in-law's words, so in his letter he praised Lin He'er highly.

He'er, this boat will take a whole day to travel, so you don't need to stand at the front and look at the scenery the whole time.

Seeing that his wife was unwilling to go into the cabin, and worried that it would be unsafe for her to stand outside, Wen Yuning had no choice but to come up and try to persuade her.

Okay, Brother Wen, let's go back.

The two returned to their cabin. Lin He'er noticed that the passenger ship had been divided into individual rooms, presumably for the passengers to rest in.

Instead of sitting idly for a whole day, Lin He'er felt that the ship was very well designed.

The two went back to their room to rest.

They always set off early, and now that they were on the boat with nothing to do, they didn't want to keep Wen Yuning from reading, so they climbed onto the small bed on the boat and closed their eyes to rest.

The boat rocked gently on the water, and soon Lin He'er fell into a deep sleep.

Wen Yuning didn't sleep. Although studying now wouldn't be very helpful for the upcoming exam, she had nothing better to do than cram at the last minute.

So I took a book out of my suitcase, sat down at the table opposite the small bed, and slowly started reading.

When Lin He'er woke up, she didn't know what time it was. She saw that she was all alone in the room and Wen Yuning was nowhere to be seen. She got up, smoothed her wrinkled clothes, opened the door and went to the deck outside.

He'er is awake? At this moment, Wen Yuning is standing outside chatting with Lu Ran.

He told his friend that he was going to the prefectural city and wouldn't be staying at an inn.

After all, they had agreed to stay at an inn together, and now that he had left his friend behind, he had to explain himself to others.

He'er, come quickly! I'm talking to Brother Taizai about renting a courtyard. You know more about that place, so come and tell him.

Okay, Lin He'er also knew that Wen Yuning had promised this classmate earlier, but now she had changed the place of residence at the last minute without telling anyone in advance, which was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Lu Ran didn't think much about his friend renting the courtyard, and his friend himself didn't know about it at the academy; it was just a plan made by his family.

Therefore, they did not feel that their family had been neglected.

Sister-in-law, tell me about renting a courtyard. I'd like to see if I can rent a place there too, so I can learn more from Yishan before the exams.

Well, Lin He'er saw that her classmate Wen Yuning hadn't held a grudge against her for her inappropriate actions. She simply felt that he was a magnanimous person.

I rented that courtyard, which was right next to the government office, making it very convenient to go to the examination hall.

It was an old woman's house, and she lived there herself.

When my family went to rent it, there were still empty rooms in the yard. Her yard is quite big, and we only rented two rooms. I think it won't be a problem if you want to rent it when the time comes.

That's great! There are only three people in my family: my father, my servant, and myself. Since there are empty rooms in the courtyard, we can stay there too. We can all stay together and take care of each other.

Okay, my family member has a lot of contact with that old lady. I'll have him come and talk to her. I figure Meng Xing can talk to the old lady, so I'll have him do it.

Thank you, sister-in-law! Lu Ran noticed that his friend's wife was not old, but she spoke clearly and logically. She was even willing to come and take care of her husband when he went out to take an exam. She was a rare and good woman.

Because of my studies, I haven't considered getting married yet. If I can find someone who is understanding and willing to share joys and sorrows with me when I achieve some success in the future, it would be a great blessing in my life.

He'er, I saw you sleeping earlier, so I didn't wake you up for dinner. You must be hungry now. I'll go to the boatman's to get some food. You can wait in your room.

"Alright," Lin He'er bowed to Lu Ran and then returned to her cabin.

I slept so much that I missed lunchtime; it seems it's already past noon.

The ship must have already traveled almost halfway.

When Wen Yuning brought the food and placed it on the small table, Lin He'er saw that it was a bowl of fish head soup with rice.

There's nothing else on the boat, but it's convenient for fishing. Come and try the food on board, it tastes pretty good!

Lin He'er sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of the face meat from the big fish head. She found the fish meat to be smooth and tender, and very delicious!

delicious!

Seeing that his wife enjoyed it, Wen Yuning sat down at the table, picked up a book, and ate with her.

Lin He'er ate quite a lot at this meal, because she hadn't eaten such fresh river delicacies for a long time since she came to ancient times.

There were fish and shrimp for sale in the county town, but none of them were as big or tasty as the fish from this big river. Lin He'er ate until the very end, and was surprisingly quite full.

I'm going outside to digest my food. Lin He'er looked at the empty bowls and plates on the table and felt a little embarrassed about how much she had eaten that day.

Once outside the cabin and onto the deck, looking at the scenery on both banks, besides the paddy fields, one could also see some villages in the distance.

She stood on the boat for half an hour, watching the boatmen for a while, then took a net, baited it, and started fishing on the side of the boat. Lin He'er's boat trip was coming to an end.

It was getting dark, so Wen Yuning called for people to go back.

He'er, we're almost at the Fucheng Wharf. Let's grab our suitcases; we'll be disembarking soon.

it is good.

After a day of sightseeing, Lin He'er was getting tired of staying on the boat. Hearing that it was time to disembark, she immediately grabbed her suitcase and waited.

The two of them went up to the deck and stood there for a while. Looking ahead, they could slowly see many ships anchored in one place in the distance.

The three members of the Lu family also came to the deck. The group just waited for the ship to get close so that everyone could disembark together.

After disembarking from the boat, everyone took their belongings and hurried back into the city.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, please slow down. Are you heading to the city?

This place is not far from the dock, and there are many cars parked there, all filled with men.

As for what these people are waiting here for, it has something to do with the passengers disembarking from the ship.

The carriages and horses waiting here belong to the people who make a living here. They specialize in serving these boat passengers.

People who arrive by boat usually come from far away.

Aside from those who had sent a letter home in advance and had someone come to pick them up, others would need a carriage or horse to travel from the dock to the prefectural city.

These people waiting here are the ones doing this business.

This is somewhat similar to the taxis of my previous life.

What will stop everyone is the coachman who is waiting here.

Gentlemen, would you like a ride to the city? I can give you a ride.

The newcomer appeared to be a clever man. After speaking, he put his hands on his hands and waited for the leader of the group to reply.

Go call another car. There are many of us, and we have luggage. Your car alone is not enough.

At this moment, Lu Ran's servant and page, a young man named Songzi, stepped forward and said something to this person.

Okay, okay, the guest will be here shortly.

Upon hearing that the group needed two vehicles, the man immediately called out to the people behind him, and another person drove off in another vehicle to follow.

The group boarded the carriage one by one and headed to Wensong Lane in the prefectural city.

The carriage carried people all the way to Wensong Lane. Meng Xing sat on the front carriage frame and helped the driver give directions. The carriage stopped at the entrance of Wensong Lane.

Dear guests, carriages cannot enter the alley, so I can only take you here.
