Chapter 17 What is this fate?

At Yuyang Ferry, there is still some time before departure. Chang Xiaojiu sat at a wonton stall, looking at the stall upside while eating, thinking about buying some sesame cakes and other foods that are not easy to deteriorate.

Although he knew that the family had arranged a speech to cover up her leaving home, Chang Xiaojiu still dared not relax. He always felt that the prefect's father would not give up so much, and his mother would definitely insist on sending someone to find her.

Therefore, Chang Xiaojiu chose to take the water route.

Her first destination was Jingcheng. It took more than 20 days to take the land route and the water route only took five days. The most important thing was that she found out that it took only half a month for passenger ships to Jingcheng to take such a trip.

Chang Xiaojiu thought so. The Chang family wanted to find her from the waterway. Because there was no exact direction, it was unlikely to hire a boat alone.

Even if she was looking for her by land in the direction of Jingcheng, she would arrive first. It would definitely not be possible to encounter a time difference of more than ten days.

Besides, she would not stay in Jingcheng for too long. She would find a way to send Ye Fan a special message and wait for a few days before continuing.

People are walking here not far away. I will go, isn’t this Xiao Junyi?

Chang Xiaojiu looked at the third young master Xiao, the people who followed him and the luggage they carried, and it was certain that they were also riding on this ship.

It doesn't matter if you ride on the same boat. As long as you avoid having too much contact with him, there should be no problem.

However, what Chang Xiaojiu was worried about was that when he was discussing a marriage with him that day, the trick he used was a smirk at him.

No one at home thinks of this, and learns that he is traveling far away and follows his line to find himself!

Feeling someone staring at him, Xiao Junyi searched around but found nothing.

Chang Xiaojiu, who had already turned his sight quickly, dared not delay any longer, and quickly got up and walked onto the boat.

"Young Master Ye, it's still a while before you leave the boat. Don't worry, you can stay on the shore for a while." A young man next to the cable said to her enthusiastically.

Chang Xiaojiu only knew that his name was Ashun. He was twelve years old this year and was an orphan. The boss of the boat took him in to do some chores on the boat. He only cared for food, clothing and housing without wages.

When Chang Xiaojiu came to set the seat the night before, it was the cabin he led to see.

"I'm a little tired and want to go in and rest." Chang Xiaojiu responded with a smile.

She changed her name to Ye Jiufan, which means that Ye Fan added the nine characters in the middle of her original name.

After saying that, Chang Xiaojiu took out two sesame cakes from the paper bag he was holding and handed them over.

"Young Master, you must." This was the first time a boat passenger gave him something to eat, Ashun waved his hand quickly.

"Eat while it's hot." Chang Xiaojiu stuffed the pancakes into Ashun's hands and walked onto the boat on the springboard. If he didn't leave, he would have to touch someone named Xiao.

Ashun held the hot cakes in both hands and said behind him, "Thank you, Mr. Ye."

At this time, Xiao Junyi also came over. Hearing the voice, he looked at the figure who was about to enter the cabin in front of him, and raised his eyebrows. Is this passenger not bad?

The ship Chang Xiaojiu was riding was made with people and goods.

The passengers are housed on top and the cargo is loaded at the bottom of the warehouse.

The cabins are divided into four price points: A, B, C and D. Class A is similar to modern single rooms, with double beds and single people.

Although Chang Xiaojiu didn't bring enough money when he went out, he had to take a single-class cabin because he was dressed as a man and was convenient for living alone.

In the A-class cabin with river views, there is a bed, tables and chairs, a simple wardrobe and clothes hanger.

The key is that there is a small room similar to the bathroom, which is simply incomparable to modern ones, with a bathtub and a convenient toilet.

Chang Xiaojiu returned to his cabin, closed the door, and sat in front of the window and looked at the small fishing boat on the river.

But I wondered in my heart that with the Xiao family's family background, the third son of Xiao probably lives in the first class cabin.

There are only six A-class cabins in total, and I don’t know which one the ones surnamed Xiao would live in.

Chang Xiaojiu is No. 3. She was thinking about the layout of the A-class cabin. There were three rooms on one side. No matter which room the surname Xiao lived in, it was either next door or opposite the door. Even if it was diagonally opposite the door, it was not very far away!

It’s impossible for the next five days on the boat to go out!

Chang Xiaojiu was a little worried. The world was too small. She had left Lizhou, but she could still meet this person named Xiao. She didn't think she had any special fate with him.

It’s empty to have it, and there’s only Ye Fan in her heart.

Hearing that someone had already started to board the ship and enter the cabin one after another, Chang Xiaojiu pricked up his ears and couldn't tell which room the third young master Xiao and his servant were staying, so he simply stopped worrying.

I sorted out the things I bought on the road these two days, had two more clothes for changing clothes, and bought a set of silver needles for acupuncture.

Although she studied Western medicine in modern times, her family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. She has heard of it since she was a child. Even if she didn't study it formally, she would have 80% or 90%.

In this ancient times, there were no precise medical instruments and no Western medicine available, so just be a Chinese medicine practitioner.

As soon as I put the silver needle bag on, a knock on the door came: "Young Master Ye."

When he heard Ashun's voice, Chang Xiaojiu quickly stepped forward and opened the door. She subconsciously looked at the opposite door. Why is it so inch? The third young master Xiao who she wanted to avoid lived opposite him.

"Mr. Ye, are you making tea when you just boiled water?" Ashun asked with bright eyes.

I followed the boat boss for two years and had some kind passengers to him, but this was the first time I gave him some food.

I wanted to repay her but could only do it, and I gave her the newly boiled water first.

"Okay, come in." Chang Xiaojiu saw that the servant was also looking over, and quickly called Ashun into the cabin and closed the door.

After Ashun entered the cabin, he quickly rinsed the teapot and tea cups on the table with boiling water.

"Young Master, are you seasick? If you are dizzy, remember to wait until the boat is off, don't walk around and don't look on the river." Ashun told carefully.

Chang Xiaojiu nodded with a smile: "I'm not seasick, but I still have to thank you for your kindness."

Ashun smiled embarrassedly: "What's there to thank for?"

At this time, someone knocked on the door: "Water delivery, hurry up, my young master wants to make tea."

Chang Xiaojiu remembered that this sound was the servant of Mr. Xiao.

"What tea do you drink, young master?" Ashun went to the small cabinet without any urging him outside the door, found two bamboo tea leaves and asked, then added, "This tea is not counted as a different amount, it is already included in the ship money you paid."

"I drink green tea." Chang Xiaojiu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ashun nodded and looked at the patterns on the two bamboo tea buckets in his hand. He opened one of them and made tea for her quickly.

"You go and do it quickly, don't be scolded." Chang Xiaojiu kindly drove him away.

As Ashun responded to opening the door and walking out, he turned around and told her, "Young Master has any instructions, just call me."

Chang Xiaojiu just looked at the door opposite, and the third young master Xiao walked out. She responded to the words "Ashun" with a stingy bullet and said, "I know."
