Chapter 1326: Arriving in Yangzhou (2)
After two days of recuperation, the Ling Family no longer had a fever, just a lingering weakness, while Dong Wenxiu had fully recovered but had noticeably lost weight.
On the tenth day, the boat docked at the pier of Yangzhou City.
"Xinxin." Qi Jingyun, for the first time, personally came to the doorway of Yang Ruxin’s room. "We’re in Yangzhou City now. We’ll stay for most of the day. Do you want to go down and take a look around? It’s quite bustling here..."
Yangzhou? Yang Ruxin was quite intrigued. After all, in the future, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou were famous tourist attractions. Moreover, she had visited Suzhou and Hangzhou in her past life but had never been to Yangzhou, missing the chance to see Shouxi Lake. However, she knew that the Yangzhou of this era differed from the Yangzhou of her time, and apparently, the name Shouxi Lake didn’t even exist yet—it was a term that appeared during the Qing Dynasty. But since she was here, she might as well have a look.
Of course, she was even more eager to try the Yangzhou fried rice.
But the Yangzhou fried rice of this time had not yet developed the rich variety of ingredients it had in the future. The kind with shrimp and the like would only appear in the Qing Dynasty. What was available now was probably a more primitive egg fried rice, also known as "shredded gold rice," reputedly a favorite of Emperor Yang of Sui.
The Ling Family was still quite weak, definitely not fit to leave the ship, while Dong Wenxiu initially didn’t feel like moving, but she didn’t want to be apart from Yang Ruxin. The recent events still cast a shadow over her heart; she felt uneasy without staying by her daughter’s side.
Because Dong Wenxiu was accompanying her, Qi Jingyun arranged for two horse-drawn carriages to come over.
"Thank you, Third Master." Yang Ruxin sincerely thanked him. "We will definitely be back before dinner."
"What, are you crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?" Qi Jingyun looked at Yang Ruxin with a mischievous gaze.
