·On the ship

Bai Rongxuan said satisfiedly, "No one is born to know it, you have to learn it bit by bit. You are talented and smart. As long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you will be able to recognize words in no time."

"Really?" Wu Jie was surprised and happy, "Miss Xuan really thinks I can do it?"

Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "What's the point of being able to do it? The key is that you think it's OK!"

Wu Jie clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely learn what others can learn, and I am no worse than others! Although I started a little later, as long as I work harder than others, I will definitely catch up later."

Bai Rongxuan nodded, "That's it. Then I will turn around and say to my aunt and ask her to say hello to Yu Huang."

Wu Jie said gratefully, "Thank you Miss Xuan for planning for me. I will definitely study hard and do my best to help Master Zhi in the future, so I will not let him suffer any losses."

Bai Rongxuan said, "It's not all for my brother. I learn more skills and go a long way, at least recognize some words, so I won't be deceived because of this in the future."

Wu Jie agreed solemnly.

Bai Rongxuan reminded him a few more words before he let him leave.

After a while, Madam Li came to visit her on behalf of Mrs. Tang. Bai Rongxuan said uneasyly, "Madam went back to her grandmother and said I was nothing serious. Don't worry about me. I will get out of bed tomorrow and I will treat her to you."

"Don't worry about this moment." Madam Li said kindly, "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain and goes like a thread. Although she is young and has a good foundation, she still has to take care of her for a few days and go out after she is well. Otherwise, she will be blown by the wind and will catch a cold again. Wouldn't all her efforts be wasted? The old lady is just thinking about you and sending me to see her. She can't come by herself, so she is always worried that she won't let me see her."

Bai Rongxuan asked nervously, "Has grandmother's foot injury been healed yet?"

"It's much better." Madam Li said, "I soak my feet in hot water before going to bed every day, and then carefully massage them with medicinal oil for half an hour. Now the lump has disappeared, but I can't take any force. I can't stand it after standing for a while. After all, I'm old and cannot compare with you young people."

She sat for only a moment, then she had to go back to serve Mrs. Tang and rest and stood up and said goodbye.

Bai Rongxuan asked Xiaoyuan to see off the guests on her own.

Madam Li refused, "It's not an outsider, what are you giving?"

Bai Rongxuan was very persistent. When Madam Li was moved, she immediately understood Bai Rongxuan's intention. She must have been interested in training Xiaoyuan to let her know more rules and have a way to do things in the future. Xiaoyuan is not young anymore, and she should learn the rules she should learn. She should not always run away like a crazy girl.

Madam Li knew it and smiled and sent it out of the door. On the way, she did not forget to remind Xiaoyuan, "When you see off the guests, the guest is in front and the host is behind, you should leave half a step in front and back. When you arrive at the door, you should give a gift to the guests and say a few polite words. However, it depends on what kind of guest it is. Some of them are unpopular, just take a look."

Xiaoyuan widened his eyes and listened very seriously. Sure enough, he kept a half-step distance from Mama Li in a regular manner. Mama Li said, "Okay, let's send it here."

Xiaoyuan gave a quick gift, but didn't know that she should say something polite.

Madam Li smiled and said, "You are still young, and you have to learn some things slowly. This is not a matter of urgency."

Xiaoyuan didn't understand, but Madam Li turned around and left.

When she returned to Mrs. Tang's room, Madam Li first explained Bai Rongxuan's condition. When she learned that there was nothing serious, Madam Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Li talked about Bai Rongxuan's request to Xiaoyuan to give him away. Madam Tang smiled after hearing this, "This child is in love with Xiaoyuan. But Xiaoyuan is really younger, otherwise serving Rongxuan would be great."

Madam Li said, "It's hard to buy a thousand gold coins, but what's the point of age? I think Xiaoyuan is pretty good. The child is not very scheming and is very close to Miss Xuan. As long as it is related to Miss Xuan, she must rush in. She is a reliable and loyal person. Moreover, Miss Xuan is sentimental and always dazed alone. She only knows to hide anything in her heart when encountering something, and doesn't tell anyone else. Even the lady can't ask anything, let alone others. Only Xiaoyuan can make her happy. When the two of them are together, Miss Xuan becomes much more relaxed and comfortable. I see that Miss Xuan is so close to Xiaoyuan, not like a servant, but like a daughter."

Mrs. Tang gave her a blank look, "Nonsense! Rongxuan is still a big yellow girl, what kind of daughters are not daughters?"

Madam Li knew that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, "Oh, look at my mouth, there is no one to keep the door."

Mrs. Tang said, "Let me do this first, let Xiaoyuan serve Rongxuan, and wait until she returns to Shanghai before making a decision. If she really likes Xiaoyuan, she will take her with her. Having a well-informed person with her will be more reliable than the ones she found on the way."

Madam Li said, "That's the reason!"

Mrs. Tang had soaked her feet and asked Madam Li to rub her swollen ankles for her, and she didn't fall asleep until late at night.

But at this moment, Bai Xiuzhi was wandering at the mouth of the river.

After the ship left Nanjing, the journey was smooth and it would take not long to enter the sea, and the real dangerous places came.

The wandering for several consecutive days not only did not destroy his spirit, but instead made him more energetic. Unlike the boatmen who were wet all day on the boat, his clothes were clean and tidy, and he could not see a trace of rudeness in his every move. His scholarly aura made the old sisters-in-law on the boat so fascinated that the topics of getting together all day were inseparable from him.

"I finally opened my eyes. There are such handsome young men in the world. Isn't they much better than those men who shouted at each other?"

"And I am very polite, and I am very polite when I meet anyone. I met him on the deck yesterday, and he even greeted me with a smile. The smile made me feel so excited that I was so excited that I was killing the fish."

"Or why it's better to study, your temperament is different, and you'll feel noble when you look at it. That day I saw him standing on the bow of the boat and looking from a distance, it looked like the people in the painting. At that time, I made up my mind that no matter how hard I worked, I would always send the kids to a private school to study, and I could not do the business of the 'Sea Mouse'."

"Did you see him eating? He never makes a sound. After eating with politeness, he will bring the dishes and chopsticks. There is no one more decent person than him. Look at the group of savages on the boat, they are really not as good as a strand of hair."

Someone couldn't listen and shouted, "Okay, okay, don't get together and comment on others! It's too late to regret it now. Be reborn in the next life and find such a good man to marry."

"Hey!" someone sighed long, "A person with such a handsome person... is afraid that it will be difficult to find a lantern in the next life."

It was even more said, "Jun Zhuo is lucky. I see that Mr. Bai bowed down to her and what did she say? What did she say? Why did she get into such a good man if you said something good thing she did in her previous life?"

Everyone laughed and laughed, but they didn't delay their work at all.

Seeing this, the boat sister-in-law, who was in charge of the business, didn't say anything more and let them go with a smile.
