big and small ships, same cannot see the end. 淮南是一座大城,又处于中州咽喉,航运陆运都很发达,码头上停泊了近百条大小船只,一样看不到尽头。 From Xiao Family ships extremely far harbor west, Hangzhou Wang Clan son of first wife Wang Ruiyang, brought to accompany to board own ships, followed one group of Shun to plow the scholar of academy, was goes to Jinling to attend the year-end Jiangnan article meeting.

accomplished, now does not need to be worried that the brothers wife and daughters' safety, all alone has no cares, must be some should the matter of doing...... 把信件交到王瑞阳手上,任务也完成了,现在不用担心兄弟妻女的安危,孤身一人无牵无挂,总得做些自己该做的事情…… Wu Youwang the Xu Buling form, is standing in the ferry spot hesitated the moment, finally turned around to move toward a ferry that went to
