A long night on the river passed.
The next day, having received the news, the Xiao Family sent people early to the city gate, waiting to head to the dock to welcome Lin Wanwan after the morning bell and drum sounded and the city gates opened.
Lin Wanwan, along with her entourage, abandoned the boat and landed, getting into the carriage sent by the Xiao Family, which rumbled its way towards the Xiao Family residence.
Last year when Lin Wanwan came to Qiantang County, she still had the mood to buy street vendor's pastries with little Qingyu.
This year, the pastries are still there, but Lin Wanwan no longer has the initial joyful feeling.
Sitting silently in the carriage throughout the journey, there was no delay.
Lin Wanwan now owns two ships; one that came from Qiong State which she invested in her clan, converting it into a fishing vessel; the other is a luxurious ship from Lu's of Wu County Hai City, which has become Lin Wanwan's means of long-distance travel.
