Wu Baichuan got off the boat and stepped onto the dock of the capital, but he did not feel his feet were on solid ground.
He always felt that his whole body was still floating on the river.
Not only that... After finishing this journey, he felt that his clothes were loose and he felt like he was floating. He was really tired during this period and felt that he had lost some weight.
The crew members he hired were even more tired. Wu Baichuan saw them sitting at the bow and didn't want to move at all.
The same was true for the crew members of the Shen family fleet, but while those crew members did not want to move, there was excitement flashing in their eyes.
There is no other reason, the main reason is that the head of the Shen family gave too much silver.
Although this trip was tiring, the head of the Shen family promised double wages!
The income of crew members like them who travel long distances with the fleet is not low to begin with. A trip takes three to four months in total, and they can earn twenty taels of silver. If it can be doubled... that would be forty taels!
So during this period of time, they have been working hard.
Now they have reached their destination... they can have a good few days of sleep!
"We've finally arrived in the capital!" The head of the Shen family got off the boat.
He wore a hat to cover his bald head, and he was particularly excited when his feet stepped on solid ground.
Along the way, others were tired and he was tired too.
He has lived a life of luxury in recent years and is no longer used to such a fast-paced life.
It was clearly only less than half a month, but he always felt that time was passing so slowly.
Madam Shen followed behind the head of the Shen family.
Although the fleet traveled together, everyone was on different ships. In addition, Mrs. Shen did not get off the ship during the entire journey... The shopkeepers in the fleet had never seen Mrs. Shen.
There were rumors in the fleet that Mrs. Shen fell ill due to exhaustion from the long journey.
But now...
Wu Baichuan and others were a little confused when they saw Mrs. Shen's appearance.
Mrs. Shen looked energetic and radiant.
Mrs. Shen is indeed in good condition.
Firstly, she was born in a water town, so taking a boat was not a very uncomfortable thing for her.
Secondly... Along the way, she has been appreciating the calligraphy of the lonely and scattered people every day.
What’s so tiring about being able to be accompanied by such beautiful calligraphy and books
The only pity she felt was that the boat would shake from time to time, making it difficult for her to copy the calligraphy of the lonely and scattered person.
But it doesn't matter, she still has two pieces of calligraphy by Gu Du San Ren at home! She can go back and copy them!
Even... when she returns from the capital, she might be able to get more calligraphy works from lonely people.
"Is this the capital?" Mrs. Shen looked around curiously.
She has lived for more than forty years, and this is her first time in the capital.
She had traveled a lot in Jiang'an Province before, but had never been far away.
The reason she wanted to come out and take a look was actually related to being alone.
Judging from what Qiongdusanren wrote, he must have been to many places.
Life is unpredictable. If she doesn’t go out for a walk, who knows if she will have the chance to go out again in the future
"Yes, this is the capital, but this is the dock, it's rather dirty and messy... Madam, I'll find a few carriages and we'll go to the city to settle down. When I'm done, I'll take you around the capital." said the head of the Shen family.
Before leaving, the head of the Shen family was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Shen's obsession with the calligraphy of a lonely and wandering person.
