The North-South Canal has been open to navigation for hundreds of years. After several outages and reuses, it is still an important waterway connecting the two places.

It is about one month from the Linhe enthronement to the capital.There are merchants traveling from south to north on merchant ships, and some are visiting relatives, but at this special time, there is another kind of people.

"Hmm..." Lin Shu covered his mouth and wanted to vomit again.

"Get out, spit away from me." Yan Cai, who was holding on to the railing, kicked Lin Shu far away, keeping a firm distance from him.

"It's okay, I've already vomited up. I really don't have anything left now." Lin Shu patted his chest and sat on the deck, not caring about his image. These days, seasickness has long since lost the slightest image. That's it.

Yan Cai also sat down with him.There were many active people on the deck at this time, and some of them came here for breakfast.There are places to eat throughout the ship.The food is expensive and the taste is not very good.According to Lin Shu, the price is comparable to his family's Fumanlou, and the taste is like the swill from his back kitchen every day.

There are also cheap ones.Steamed buns are not expensive at the same price as on the ground, and fish is not expensive. The fishery resources here are very rich, and merchant ships can catch many big fish every day.But eating fish every day will only smell fishy.

At first everyone ate their own dry food, but when the dry food ran out, they couldn't help but want to eat something else.However, when ordinary people look at the price of vegetables, they will find that they cannot afford a bowl of ordinary green vegetables.Except for some vegetables that are easy to store, such as dried taro and bamboo shoots, which can last longer, there is a shortage of green leafy vegetables on board.

Yan Cai's family has no shortage of vegetables to eat.

When I came out, I only brought Zhu Hua, Chi and Hongyu with me.We negotiated with the ship and borrowed their cooking utensils to cook something for ourselves every day. In exchange, we gave some vegetables to the kitchen.

Yan Cai ate the prawn cakes made by Hongyu and said, "You don't take the exam, why did your father ask you to go to the capital?"

Lin Shu approached Yan Cai, grabbed a shrimp cake from the oil-paper bag Yan Cai was holding, took a bite, and said with a bitter face, "I know I'm not good at studying, but my father still wants me to study! He said yes." I contacted a well-known academy in the capital, let me study hard with him, don't cause trouble, and don't even think about doing business. My father said that I don't need to worry about the family's lack of money! I'm so mad."

Yan Cai expressed sympathy and happily swallowed the shrimp cakes in his mouth.Hongyu's craftsmanship has become more and more exquisite under his training.This taste is really good, fresh and fragrant, the skin is crispy and crispy, and the shrimp meat is very tender.

"That's your cousin?" Yan Cai pointed to the indifferent white-faced scholar sitting on the table in the bow of the boat eating steamed buns and boiled water, "Why is your surname Lin the same as yours?"

Lin Zhu - Lin Shu's cousin - overwhelmed Jiang Manyue's Xie Yuan.

Lin Shu nibbled on the prawn cakes resentfully, he might have thought his cousin had bitten them.

"Because my mother's surname is also Lin... But that's not the point, he has no blood relationship with me. My uncle picked him up and recognized him as his godson. He usually keeps silent, so no one knew him before. Even now, he On the street, no one probably knows who he is."

Lin Shu pursed his mouth, he was very malicious towards Lin Zhu, if it wasn't for Lin Zhu who could read, his father would not have let him follow Lin Zhu to study in the capital on a whim, "What about my shop? "

Yan Cai patted his hand to show comfort: "I can't die. When you go back, your Fumanlou will definitely still be there."

Yan Cai took a pat and then withdrew his hand.Not far away, Jiang Manyue, who was eating with her child in her arms, swiped her with a cold knife from time to time.Probably because of Zhu Yuchuan's stalker, Jiang Manyue is now full of hostility towards everyone who appears around Yan Cai.

Yan Cai rubbed his nose, there was no way, this was beyond his control.Who let him inherit a part of the devil tree's gene - about hunting and killing enemies.

By releasing pheromones to lure the enemy to approach and then kill the opponent, it is the same trick as the pitcher plant preying on its prey.So many people have a good impression of him, but it's not because they really like him.It's all the fault of this pheromone.

"I won't go to school with that nerd!"

Lin Shu hated his cheap cousin very much, and it was all because of this man that he was forced by his father to study, "What are you going to do in the capital? Why don't we start a business together? If we work together, we can definitely earn a lot of money." It's full. I've already thought about it, and I will build another Fumanlou in the capital! What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, but I always feel that you have ulterior motives." Yan Cai narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Shu.This guy, like an old fox, would take the initiative to share benefits with him, so it's strange.

If it is because Lin Shu has no connections in the capital and needs to find a partner, Ke Yancai has no connections at all.If I had to say it, I should have found Jiang Manyue, a local.However, it is also possible that Lin Shu wanted to get in touch with Jiang Manyue in a disguised form because Jiang Manyue was not easy to talk to.

But that's not quite right either.Always feel uneasy.

"Look at what you said, we are friends." Lin Shu had a simple smile on his face, how could his words be so easily deceived.

"Tell the truth." He picked up the last shrimp cake.

"I said——you leave the last one to me." Lin Shu licked his lips, the food on the boat was too bad, as a restaurant owner who had tasted all kinds of food, this was simply raping his tongue.

Only that nerd can enjoy boiling water with steamed buns.

"Here, tell me."

Lin Shu took the shrimp cakes and said while eating, "Actually, I have no money."

"You have no money?" Yan Cai didn't believe it.Will this guy have no money?

"It was all detained by my father. Not a penny was left. Really. Even my living expenses in the capital were kept by that bastard, saying that I wasted money. He asked me to buy whatever I wanted, and he also said before that I couldn't give it to him." I do business with money. That guy is a dead-brained guy, and he will never spend a single penny on me."

Lin Shu gnawed the last bite and said firmly to Yan Cai: "It is impossible for me to study. I only like money. I have no capital now, and I know you don't like meddling—we are a match made in heaven. So you contribute I will contribute, let's do business together."

Lin Shu's eyes were firm. He was really thinking about this matter seriously.His words were convincing.What's more, Yancai also needs to do his own business.Working with a shrewd and reliable person like Lin Shu is just what he wants.As soon as the two made a decision, they discussed the future business on the deck.

Infected by Lin Shu's passion, Yan Cai also put all his heart into it, his face was flushed, dripping with sweat, and his eyes were shining with stars.

He is at ease and happy.

"Brother Jiang, what are you looking at?" Lin Zhu followed his gaze, "I'm sorry, my cousin is a bit out of touch, it's not on purpose..."

"Nothing. Does he look happy?"

Jiang Manyue asked indifferently.He didn't have any ill feeling towards the sudden top name Lin Zhu.Maybe he was the only one there who knew about this person.

He wasn't disappointed that he didn't get the first place.His purpose is not to take the imperial examination, but to pass the exam and have a good identity.

His real purpose is far from here.

He seemed to remember that Xie Yuan at this time in his previous life was Lin Zhu, and a dark horse appeared out of nowhere at that time.However it doesn't matter.

At that time, he was walking in the yellow sand and standing firm with his comrades in the cold north wind.At that time, he was just an ordinary general with no more than a hundred people under him.

Next year, he will have 1000 people in his hands, and the year after... It was a bitter battle, d swords, lights and swords, bloody storms, the army retreated again and again, defeated, and gave up the soldiers underneath for the sake of the generals, trying to escape...

Jiang Manyue's memories were interrupted by Lin Shu.

"Very happy." Lin Zhu didn't seem to notice that Jiang Manyue was distracted, but only answered Jiang Manyue's question seriously.

"He's happy, so I'm happy too."

Jiang Manyue is not willing to restrain Yan Cai, if Yan Cai wants to make a career, he will support him behind him.As long as he is happy.
