Xiao Xianghua is going back to Qiantang, and Lin Wanwan has prepared a gift for her and arranged for her to be escorted by boat.
Having received two boats from her senior brother, Lin Wanwan converted one of them into a fishing vessel, used daily to load fish, catch fish, and dry fish and shrimp. Over six months, the boat acquired a persistent fishy smell that couldn't be washed away, making it unsuitable for carrying nobles. Therefore, the other boat naturally couldn't be used as a fishing boat.
This luxurious boat, purchased from the Lu Family in Hai City, usually rests quietly at the dock, unused, representing the extravagance of nobility. It can remain idle but must not be absent.
At times like this, the boat is perfectly suited to escort esteemed guests. It wouldn't do to have Xiao Xianghua on a fishy-smelling boat or to rent someone else's boat.
