Qiuniang was feeling depressed because of the boat purchase. Although she couldn't show it on her face, she just forced a smile and said, "Are you here?" Without saying much, she went to open the door.

"I just came here not long ago." Qin Xiao followed Qiuniang. Today Qiuniang was wearing a boat girl's outfit, with a pair of gray cloth trousers underneath, and a long-sleeved narrow shirt made of floral cloth on top. Although it was simple, it was clean.

At this time, looking at it from behind, I felt more and more that this beautiful girl's figure was really graceful and tight.

Perhaps because she often rows boats, Qiuniang's figure remains quite graceful.

Her pipa-like jade back is straight. Because she is wearing a narrow shirt, her waist is tightened and looks very slender. It curves downward and is outlined in arcs to both sides, forming a round and full line. Wrapped in gray cloth trousers, the outline is just that.

It's very clear. It's really a bee-waisted buttocks, enchanting and colorful. It's so vivid that even a skilled painter can't describe it.

When she walked around, her waist swayed lightly and swayed in various ways.

"Aren't you happy?" Qin Xiao waited for Qiu Niang to open the door and go in, then followed into the room and put the cakes on the table: "Is there something wrong?"

Qiuniang is now very familiar with Qin Xiao, and she knows that this young man is very capable. Even though she was tired, she still said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. You haven't eaten yet? I'll cook for you."

The Taiping Society came to find Qin Xiao last time and brought many generous gifts. Qin Xiao forwarded all the gifts to the Gu family, especially the high-quality silk and satin. Qiu Niang liked it very much. She also felt that Qin Xiao was not only capable, but also generous.

He was quite approving of it.

People have given such expensive gifts to me, but now when it's time to eat, I always have to give others a bowl of rice.

"No, I just ate." Qin Xiao stopped and said, "Sister Qiu Niang, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Qiuniang asked doubtfully.

Qin Xiao asked with a smile: "I saw a lot of pleasure boats in the river. Have you bought your boat?"

Qiuniang felt that this guy really didn't care about anything. When she mentioned the cruise ship, she became very troubled. She shook her head and said, "No, it's not easy to buy a boat at this time of year. The Taiping Society waived the river fee, and now the cruise ship price has increased.

Gold is very valuable."

"In fact, after the river fee is waived, I'm afraid many people will switch to this profession." Qin Xiao sighed: "The competition will be even greater in the future."

Qiuniang smiled sweetly and said: "Didn't the people from the Taiping Association say last time that they would help me attract customers? No matter how fierce the competition is, with their help, there will always be no shortage of customers."

Qin Xiao looked at Qiuniang's beautiful face and thought that this beautiful girl was very satisfied. She was happy just because others helped her find customers and relied on her own hands to eat. Although the fat woman opposite called her a vixen,

She is indeed a diligent and thrifty woman. She pondered for a moment and finally said: "Sister Qiu Niang, have you ever thought about changing your career?"

"Change your career?" Qiuniang was startled, not understanding what Qin Xiao meant.

"I mean, punting is too hard, exposed to wind and sun, and if there are strong winds and heavy rains, you can't make any income." Qin Xiao looked at Qiuniang's eyes and said, "Business is even more difficult in autumn and winter. Not only is it hard, but in fact

The income is not very high. If you want, you can switch to other things."

Qiuniang sighed faintly: "What else can I do? Taoist women can't work, so they stay at home and do housework. Your elder brother Gu works as an errand in the Yamen, and all his salary is used to buy books. This is the right way, and naturally I can't stop it.

.I have the strength anyway, so I can punt the boat to help share the burden with the family, so that he can study and run errands in peace."

"You can run a shop." Qin Xiao finally said: "I think there are many shops in Kyoto that are suitable for women to run, such as gouache and rouge shops, and silk and satin shops. These are all acceptable."

Qiuniang was startled, then covered her mouth and laughed: "You are talking nonsense. How can ordinary people like us run a shop in Kyoto? If you don't have a few hundred taels of silver to open a shop, don't even think about it. I

Even if you sell yourself, it's not worth a few hundred taels of silver."

Qin Xiao thought that you were diligent, thrifty and kind, so even ten thousand taels of gold and silver couldn't buy you, but naturally he couldn't say it out loud, so he said directly: "You don't have to worry about the money, I will be responsible for it. As long as you are willing, you can think about it yourself."

Once you decide whether you want to open a silk and satin shop or run a gouache and rouge business, leave the rest to me."

Qiuniang was even more stunned, but just shook her head and said: "I know you mean well, but although Bai Yi and I are in a tight situation, we are not greedy for gain. I am also happy that you and Bai Yi have fallen in love, but Bai Yi said that a gentleman

Our friendship is as light as water, even if it is a tael of silver, I can't take it from you."

"Of course I know Sister Qiuniang's character." Qin Xiao said sincerely: "The case of the Ministry of War has been closed. I may have to leave Kyoto in a few days, and I may not see you again for a long time...

..1"

"Are you leaving?" Qiuniang felt a little sad and sighed softly: "Bai Yi lives with books and has few friends in Kyoto, let alone anyone to talk to. I finally met you and talked to you about everything, and now you are here again

He has to leave, he... he must be very reluctant to leave."

Qin Xiao really wants to ask you if you are willing to let go, but naturally he must not ask the question out of his mouth. He nodded slightly and said: "I can't let go of Brother Gu... and you, but Kyoto is not the place I should stay. Brother Gu

It is a good thing that he likes books. He is sensible in reading. He has this hobby and it is too late for others to envy him. Before leaving, I just want you to live a better life in the future. Sister Qiuniang, please don’t misunderstand me. I have no other intentions.

, not to mention charity. You and Brother Gu helped me a lot this time when I came to Beijing. Without you, I may not be able to leave Kyoto alive, so... I just want to express my feelings to you. "

Qin Xiao's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.

The Gu family's siblings live in poverty. With Gu Baiyi's temperament, he is not good at managing personnel. There may be little hope of getting promoted and making a fortune. If the two siblings don't change, they will have no choice but to continue living in such straitened circumstances.

What Qin Xiao lacks the most now is money. With hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his pocket, he is a wealthy person wherever he goes. He knows that if he gives money directly, the Gu family siblings will definitely not accept it, and it may misunderstand the Gu family siblings.

, I felt that I underestimated them.

So after much thought, he decided to use his own strength to improve their living environment before leaving.

"I also know what you mean." Qiuniang looked gentle and said calmly: "It is fate that we met you. You are leaving, and Bai Yi is reluctant to leave, but you are a man and you always have your own future. Although you are living in poverty now

, but I feel comfortable and don’t owe anyone anything. Bai Yi and I also like this kind of life, do you understand?"

Qin Xiaowei pondered for a moment and finally said: "Since Sister Qiu Niang said this, I won't say anything more. Do you have time now? I will take you somewhere?"

"Go...where?" Qiuniang asked doubtfully.

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Just believe me, come with me." But he stretched out his hand to hold Qiuniang's wrist, walked out of the door, walked to the side of Heibawang, then let go, turned on his horse, stretched out his hand to Qiuniang and said:

"Come up!"

Qiuniang shook her head, looked at the tall Black Overlord, and hesitated: "Where are you taking me? I...I can't ride a horse."

"Don't you want to buy a boat?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I happen to know a person who has a boat in his hand. The price is cheap. If you don't go there, I'm afraid it will be snatched away by others."

Qiuniang's biggest worry now is the cruise ship. When she heard what Qin Xiao said, her clear eyes were even brighter. She was about to reach out to ask Qin Xiao to pull her onto the horse, but she thought of something and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute.

"He went over and locked the door, then came back, stretched out his hand, and Qin Xiao held her wrist. His skin was smooth and elastic, and he pulled Qiuniang onto the horse and sat behind him.

"Hold on tight, let's hurry up!" Qin Xiao turned around and said.

Qiuniang was thinking about buying a boat. After getting on the horse, she realized that she and Qin Xiao would inevitably have physical contact. She felt a little embarrassed, but she also thought that she was much older than him, so she was not too cautious. The most important thing at this time was

It was about buying a boat, so he could only lean forward and wrap his arms around Qin Xiao's waist. Qin Xiao shook the horse's reins, and the Black Overlord immediately hissed and rushed out of the yard.

The Black Overlord was so fast that Qiu Niang felt the wind blowing in her ears and became even more nervous. She couldn't help but hug Qin Xiao tightly. But in this way, her whole body was pressed against Qin Xiao's back. Her breasts were full, Qin Xiao

I just feel that the two soft balls are rubbing up and down on my back as the horse gallops. Although there is a barrier of clothing, I can clearly feel the plumpness and amazing elasticity of Qiuniang's breasts. I knew this beauty from looking at her before.

This place is very proud. When I felt their outlines, I realized that they were much more beautiful than what I saw.

Walking through the streets, Black Overlord was originally a divine horse with amazing momentum. However, people in the streets were surprised that Qin Xiao was dressed in commoner clothes, while Qiuniang was dressed as a boat girl. How could such two people own such a divine horse?

?

In fact, after running two streets, Qiuniang also realized that something was wrong. She did not change her clothes when she went out. She was still dressed as a boat girl. Riding through the streets and alleys in such an outfit would definitely be very conspicuous. You can see everything you passed on the horse.

, but the people on both sides cast surprised glances, feeling a little embarrassed, and their cheeks were even hotter. They could only hug Qin Xiao's waist, lowered their heads, and rested their foreheads on Qin Xiao's back, not daring to look at the people on both sides.

Qin Xiao didn't take it seriously and ignored the crowds on both sides. However, Qiuniang's plump breasts were squeezing and rolling on her back, but it still made Qin Xiao feel a little hot. He tried his best to calm down. He only felt that for such a diligent, thrifty and kind-hearted beautiful lady,

It is really inappropriate to have lingering thoughts.

I don’t know how long it took, but after passing through several residential buildings, I finally came to a river. Qin Xiao slowed down his horse and reached a willow tree on the bank. Then he reined in his horse and stopped, turning his head slightly and saying:

"Sister Qiu Niang, we're here!"

Qiuniang then raised her head, looked left and right, and then looked at the river. She knew that this was a branch of Raoshui. There were many scenic spots along the river, and there were also many cruise ships on this river. Before she thought about it, Qin Xiao had already

He turned over and dismounted, and then helped Qiuniang to dismount as well, pointing to a pleasure boat by the river: "How about you take a look at this boat?"

There was a middle-aged man on the cruise ship. When he saw Qin Xiao, he immediately jumped ashore and said, "Mr. Qin, are you here?" He looked at Qiuniang and bowed deeply.

Qiuniang was a little confused. The middle-aged man had already smiled and said: "This lady wants to buy a boat? I have a boat in my hand to sell. You can take a look first to see if it is suitable. If you like it, I can sell this boat to you."

"

Qiuniang walked to the river, looked at the cruise ship for a few times, looked back at Qin Xiao, shook her head, Qin Xiao said in surprise: "Don't like it?"

Qiuniang glanced at the middle-aged man, just smiled, took Qin Xiao's arm and walked aside, whispering: "This ship is not an old ship, it is a new ship, and... and the materials are excellent.

The workmanship is good, you see it also has a canopy, and there are patterns carved around the canopy. This... this boat costs at least twenty taels of silver in the shipyard, I... I can't buy it

rise."

"Sister Qiuniang, I don't know much about boats. According to you, this is a good boat?"

"Of course." Qiuniang said immediately: "This is the best cruise ship on the Kyoto river. Among the hundreds of cruise ships, there are only five or six at most. With such a cruise ship, you don't have to worry about customers at all, but how can ordinary people buy it?

Such a good boat. Let’s go, no need... no need to tell him."

"Madam, do you think the price will be high?" The middle-aged man had already heard it and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, this boat is not expensive, I guarantee you can afford it. You first have to see if there is anything missing on this boat, or

If there is anything I am not satisfied with, I can ask the master to modify it. If there is no problem, I will give you two taels of silver and the boat will be sold to you. I am an honest person in doing business. I keep my word and ask for a price of two taels.
