Because from Chang'an and before the Wei River to the source, the fleet can sail smoothly in the river, and the journey is very comfortable, so you don't have to worry about the fatigue or bumps of riding horses.

This section has a total of 900 miles, 300 miles to Chencang, 600 miles to Tianshui, and 900 miles to Weiyuan. There are enough people who row oars day and night, and can travel 150 miles a day and arrive in six days.

On the first day, Zhuge Liang also went to Li Su's boat to discuss knowledge and talk about mystery. The next day, he became a little bored. Everyone went back to their own boats to eat, drink, throw pots, or slept with their heads.

Because Liu Miao has also traveled several voyages from Chang'an to Chencang, she has no interest in seeing the scenery for the first few days. She wants to wait for Chencang to cross the Longshan journey and then take a good look at the magnificence of the mountains and rivers. After all, she has never crossed Longshan in her life and has seen the scenery west of Longshan.

So, the next day after boarding the boat, she was also stuck in her cabin, wanting to have a good day of sleep and have the energy to visit Longshan tomorrow.

Li Su thought Liu Miao was feeling uncomfortable, so she asked Zhou Ying to visit and comfort her.

Liu Miao and Zhou Ying are also considered sisters who have some handkerchiefs. They played together occasionally when they were ten years old, so they didn't avoid her in everything.

Zhou Ying brought her a bowl of special ginger tea, which should actually be considered "grin-fighting milk" and was also the first food produced in Li Suhou's mansion.

Every month when women are uncomfortable or need to drive away the cold, they will drink brown sugar ginger water. This recipe has been available since ancient times. After all, ginger is a local crop, and there is no problem for people in the Han Dynasty to make brown sugar.

However, when Li Su saw his wife and concubine drinking ginger tea in his early years, he remembered the Cantonese morning tea desserts he loved to eat in later generations, so he naturally taught his wives and concubines to add milk to sugar ginger tea to make things like curd pudding.

However, cattle in the Han Dynasty were generally not bred, and there were no special cows at the beginning, so most of the milk was sour and the smell was not as mellow as in later generations.

Li Su still asked someone to try a lot of cows, and chose the relatively best cows from various flavors, specializing in raising milk, and later selected dairy sheep that specializes in raising goat milk. Therefore, Li Su's wife and concubines even favored maids, and they could drink sweet dairy products.

At this moment, Liu Miao took the ginger and bumped milk, and her heart felt warm. She subconsciously wanted to drink it. She raised her head and poured it down and found that it was solidified. She almost splashed the whole bowl. She put it flat again and still splashed on the clothes.

"I'll help my sister wipe it and change her skirt. It's all my fault that I didn't explain it clearly. This was a drink with a silver pick." Zhou Ying quickly helped wipe it while taking off the shawl outside.

Liu Miao carefully scooped it with a spoon and felt extremely sweet and heart-warming, although it was a bit spicy: "No need to bother, the charcoal fire in the house is also warm, so you don't need to wear a skirt. I really didn't expect that the crispy cheese could be made like this, and my sister is really interested."

If another woman had a chat with Liu Miao, Liu Miao might have called him a "female layman", but because of Zhou Ying's friendship, she was not an outsider, so she still did the same.

Zhou Ying said gently: "Isn't this because my sister was afraid of chills and discomfort just now, and she is raising people. Is she seasick?"

Liu Miao chuckled softly and said, "I am not seasick. It's just that in Mei County, Chencang has been on a boat many times along the way. I'm too lazy to watch it because I'm bored and I'm too lazy to take a break. I'll have better energy when I visit Longshan tomorrow. It's also my luck. This time I've set off, Taohua Gui has passed."

Peach Blossom Gui or Taoshui naturally refers to the troublesome thing that women have once a month. There was no such title as "Mencius/Monthly Letter" during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and those are all after the Tang and Song Dynasties.

To put it bluntly, before cotton cloth became popular, even royal ladies and noble ladies could only use linen to solve those hygiene problems, because although silk is softer and smoother, its water absorption is not as good as linen.

With cotton cloth, cotton cloth with better water absorption quickly replaced linen cloth. Women quickly discovered that cotton cloth does not need to rely on only those layers of cloth, but can only use two layers of cloth. The smooth lint that is sewn in the middle is just a elastic-coated cotton, and it is enough to fill it directly without textile. Instead, it has better liquid absorption and water storage effect.

The first mass production of cotton cloth was already last year, so even the ladies in Chang'an City only used these things for the first time last winter.

A relatively poor woman can disassemble the lint and throw it away after using it, wash the two layers of cotton cloth and use it next month. Only the top lady and wife of a wealthy family with a huge family income of 100 million yuan can be so luxurious that she can change the cotton cloth layer every month or even every day.

After all, the price of cotton cloth this year is still at a high of two or three thousand yuan per five-foot wide cloth. It will take one or two years to popularize it before it will fall. After decades, it may eventually fall to one-fifth of ordinary silk in the same area and one-tenth of Shu brocade.

When Zhou Ying heard Liu Miao say that she was lucky, she couldn't help but chuckled and whispered: "Sister is thinking too much, so there is no luck. On the day I packed my luggage, I found that my sister was not in a good mood and moved, so I told my husband that she delayed the departure date by two days."

Liu Miao's face turned red, and then he realized that it was not a coincidence. In order to take care of her body, Li Su specially waited for her menstrual period to end before setting off, and asked the hundreds of guards to wait for two more days for unknown reasons.

Of course, the external name is "to give everyone two more days off, make more preparations, and reunite with their families."

"It is hard for other great husbands who are determined to be so attentive to women. I am afraid that those rough generals are not so careful with their wives..." Liu Miao's eyes turned slightly red. Fortunately, her concentration was already extraordinary. She turned her face and her face had returned to normal within a few seconds.

However, Zhou Ying knew her, and the momentary touch still fell in her eyes. As Li Su's concubine, she knew about the things she did not deceive the dark room and was unwilling to steal when she visited Huashan a few days ago.

At this moment, Zhou Ying couldn't help but follow the flow and gave some whispers quickly: "Sister, I shouldn't have said some secrets, but I also talk about caring for my body. I didn't know at first, since I was included in the Marquis' Mansion for two years, I realized how much my husband loves people and pays more attention to protecting his wives and concubines' bodies.

He is not ugly, but he also knows that women have too much childbirth, which is harmful to their health, so he is quite restrained. Even if there are only two or three wives and concubines, each of them will only favor two to four times a month, only three or five days before and after Taogui, and only ten or eight times a month.

For the rest of the time, he would rather be calm and calm than indulge in peace. This is not that he is weak, but he is actually very vigorous and has been well maintained."

"You...what do you say this!" Liu Miao broke free and almost let Zhou Ying go out.

Zhou Ying knew that she would cut the mess quickly at this time. Taking advantage of Liu Miao's hesitation before covering her ears, she spoke faster and faster: "I'd better let my sister be prepared. My husband was not ruthless in Huashan before. Maybe he was merciful and could not bear to hurt you. Even if he really admired a woman in his heart, he would never be impulsive and not live with the other person for a long time. If he figured out the details, he would do it rashly..."

"You need to say more about these. When you go out, the flowers and moon are intentional, and the mountains and rivers have atmosphere, you will... why bother to ask for it?" Liu Miao angrily asked Zhou Ying to leave.

Zhou Ying had finished informing her and was not embarrassed and stood up and left.

"Come back!" Liu Miao called out again in fear.

Zhou Ying turned around and sat down speechlessly.

Liu Miao organized some language. Even if she couldn't speak some things to her lover, she could just be a little dirty in front of her best friend.

This is not surprising. Even in later generations, some women and husbands can't say anything dirty when they are with other female companions.

Liu Miao gritted her teeth and asked technical and historical questions in a purely low voice: "Do you know that in the past peaceful years, the princess in the palace got married and the palace maid who was tested for the room. It was said that the palace maid suffered some pain first, so that the husband would moisten, and the princess would not be too hurt and painful..."

Zhou Ying bit her lips and didn't make her feel funny. She calmed her emotions and replied: "Although there is, it may not be effective. Sister, I secretly tell you that the wetness will dry in a moment, and then it becomes stagnant and sticky, and later it will be painful.

Unless there is no gap between them for too long, if so, the later generations will inevitably have no mood and feel wronged. Just like the husband and the woman next to you first make love, but in the end... wouldn't it hurt your heart?"

Liu Miao thought for a while: "So that's the case, that's better... If there is no secret code tonight, don't come to my cabin."

...

Shortly after Zhou Ying left, Liu Miao felt that it was a little warm after drinking ginger and milk, so she opened the windows of the cabin to blow the air.

Things like ginger soup are originally used to warm your body. If you drink too much without cold uterine uterine, it will be easy to get dry.

Li Su was walking on the side of the boat. When she saw Liu Miao's window wide open, she came over and took a look with concern. She noticed that Liu Miao was not even wearing a shawl, so she opened the window with her shoulders exposed for breathability. She couldn't help but reminded her with pity: "It's only February, even if the cabin is warm, how can she be exposed?"

As he said that, he subconsciously took off his robe and covered Liu Miao.

Liu Miao sat back and smiled kindly: "It's nothing. I've drunk too much ginger soup and I've been full of energy. I accidentally sprinkled my skirt just now. Ying'er helped me get another one, so I can wear it after a while."

Li Su couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at the other party's indifferent and clever smile. The two confirmed their eyes for a while, without saying more unnecessary words to destroy the atmosphere.

Liu Miao felt her head blank for a while, and had imagined countless plans, but in the end it was not useful.

"Why is it completely different from what I imagined..."

...

All dusk and half night without saying anything.

When I woke up again, it was already midnight, and the sky was covered with stars outside the porthole.

Some tricks were used in the final stage, but they were just icing on the cake. Liu Miao felt that his homework was in vain. His plan could not keep up with the changes, but it was unexpectedly beautiful.

Li Su wanted to say something, but in the end he just comforted him.

"I'm done." Liu Miao was stunned for a long time and let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong? It hurts? It feels uncomfortable?" Li Su was very concerned.
