As soon as the middle-aged man was ready to sail, someone came running towards him, saying as he ran: "Shipman, wait for us, our master is going to cross the river."
Listening to what this man said, it seemed that there were quite a few guests and it was worth waiting a little longer. The middle-aged man chuckled twice and stopped what he was doing. Qingyang looked up and saw a long-faced man standing on the bank.
A young man, dressed like a servant.
Not long after that, three more people came over from behind. The first one was a fat man in his thirties, with a round face and a pair of small eyes that were almost squeezed out. He was wearing silk clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand.
I don't know if he is really cool or just pretending to be smart. Judging from his clothes, he must be the master that the long-faced servant said.
Behind Mr. Little Eyes was a man and a woman, carrying a lot of things in large and small bags. The man was a middle-aged man with a square face, a weathered face, a strong build, and a solemn expression. He was obviously a bodyguard.
A kind of character. The woman next to her is beautiful, has a charming face, is less than twenty years old, and seems to be a maid serving others.
There are four people, a master, a maid, a bodyguard, and a follower who always accompany him. He has brought all his servants with him when he travels far away. It shows that this master is also a person who likes to enjoy himself, and his family background and status are probably extraordinary.
The little-eyed man came to the ferry and looked at the boat on the river. He couldn't help frowning, as if he disliked the boat in front of him. But look at the sky, it will get dark soon. If you don't hurry up and cross the river,
, he might have to stay here at night, but there was no decent inn here. He shook his head helplessly and could only make do with it.
The little-eyed old man was about to get on the boat, but the boatman suddenly stopped him and said: "Sir, this small boat of mine can only carry four people at a time, but I already have a guest on the boat. Why don't you get on three first?"
One, the remaining one will go there tomorrow?"
Let's go there tomorrow? Isn't that nonsense? There are four of us, you want us to divide into two groups? What if something happens if we stay here alone? This maid needs to warm my bed, so the bodyguard will follow me to feel safe.
, this servant needs to be by his side at all times. If one of the three servants is missing, I can’t sleep, master. Could it be that I, master, are left here on this side of the river?
Before the little-eyed master could speak, the long-faced servant shouted: "Boatman, what do you mean? We came together, and you asked us to divide ourselves into two groups? Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us? Isn't that boy alone? Let him get down.
Make room for us."
Seeing that the four people here disagreed, the boatman turned to look at Qingyang and said: "Little brother, look at this... why don't you cross the river again tomorrow?"
If the master and servants talk to each other, it is not impossible for Qingyang to discuss it, but the other party's bossy and condescending attitude makes him very dissatisfied. Moreover, he came early and waited for so long, why should he give it to the later ones?
By?
Qingyang did not speak, just shook his head and refused the boatman. The boatman was helpless and had to say to the master and servants: "He is unwilling to give in. Master, how about this? Come up with the three of you first."
How about waiting for us to send everyone across the river, and then pick up the last one?"
By the river hundreds of feet wide, it would take at least half an hour for this kind of human-powered boat to go back and forth. By the time the remaining person was picked up, it was estimated that an hour had passed. Seeing that the sky was already dark, how could they
Time has been waiting here?
"No, if you don't come back after you go there, what will happen to the remaining one of us?" The little-eyed man shook his head and asked.
At this time, the long-faced servant stood opposite Qingyang, pointed at Qingyang and said: "Boy, you don't know how to praise, do you? Do you know who our master is? This is the eldest master of our Yang family in Kaiyuan Mansion. He knows how to recognize faces.
Just get off the boat quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
What kind of thing is the master of sheep and the master of pigs? Qingyang has always been like this. He is also young and energetic. How could he be scolded by the other party?
Please accompany me."
Qingyang said something, and the long-faced servant was a little embarrassed. He suddenly became a little angry and turned around and said: "Master, look, this guy will be fined if he doesn't eat the toast. Let Lao Liang take action and throw this guy into the water."
Sober up."
The small-eyed Master Yang seemed to dislike Qingyang, and he snorted and was about to send Lao Liang behind him up. The boatman next to him saw that the two sides refused to give in, and the conflict became louder and louder. The boatman whispered in his mouth
Li cursed, then stood up and acted as a peacemaker, saying: "No, everyone, don't take action, there is only one more person, I will try to be more careful, and nothing will happen. You all can get on the boat."
The difference between carrying four people and five people in this small boat is not very big. If it weren't for the little-eyed old man who is too fat, he weighs almost as much as two Qingyangs, the boatman might not even mention this issue.
Now that both sides are unwilling to give in, they can only make do with each other. Be careful and avoid capsizing the boat in the river.
Qingyang didn't want to get into trouble, so he didn't care about the other party's offense. Master Yang saw that Qingyang didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with, so he didn't let Lao Lin behind him take action. The two sides were in peace for the time being. As for the boatman's suggestion, he also
No one raised any objections. Both sides were eager to cross the river. No matter who was left behind, they were unwilling to leave, so they had no choice but to cross together.
After that, the servant first sent the luggage they carried onto the boat, and then the four masters and servants got on the boat. The impact of the other people on the boat was not very big. After the fat Master Yang got on the boat, Qingyang clearly felt
The boat sank suddenly, the hull dropped a lot, and the boat shook violently a few times. I wonder if something happened on the way.
After everyone got on the boat, the boatman untied the rope on the boat, then gently used the paddle to turn the boat towards the water. Maybe because the boat was overloaded, the boatman was always careful when rowing, and the boat moved forward.
The speed is very slow.
The boat is not big, only four or five feet wide, and more than a foot long. It can accommodate six people.
Qingyang was the first to board the boat, so he sat on the bow, followed by the long-faced servant, sitting close to Qingyang's body with a cold face, as if he wanted to squeeze Qingyang out of the boat. Looking at his posture,
If it weren't for the fact that there was an outsider like the boatman watching on the boat, he might have dared to reach out and push Qingyang into the river.
Sitting in the middle were Mr. Yang and his maid, with all their burdens placed between them and the long-faced servant. Mr. Yang was not honest when sitting on the boat. He would wipe some oil on the maid from time to time, which attracted scoldings.
He Jiaoxiao looked completely as if no one else was watching.
