Hearing the man's voice, Du Qi and Lu Miaoer couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both showed a look of relief, that voice was the voice of the housekeeper Chen they met in the barren mountain and abandoned temple the night before, fortunately they didn't follow the wrong person, otherwise it would take a lot of trouble, so far, they really put their minds at ease.

Looking at Steward Chen, who came out in response, Dongfang laughed and said, "Each upper class cabin has five hundred taels of silver, and only two rooms can be arranged at most; One room for one hundred taels of silver in the medium cabin, three rooms can be arranged; The ordinary cabin is much cheaper, as long as twenty taels of silver a room, there should be no problem in arranging five or six rooms, I don't know what kind of cabin Yang Gongzi needs, how many more do you need? β
Du Qi preemptively said: "I want a first-class cabin, I wonder if Yang Gongzi intends to do so?" β
Yang Gongzi said: "In this way, how about asking Brother Dongfang to give the two first-class cabins to the younger brother, one for the younger brother and Brother Du, and one for the old family of Brother Du?" β
Du Qi said generously: "Yesterday I wanted to give up two ordinary cabins to Yang Gongzi, for the sake of Yang Gongzi's eagerness to return to Beijing, now there is a surplus of upper class, I want one, and I should arrange one for Yang Gongzi, but now I want Yang Gongzi to propose, I feel deeply sorry, and the required expenses will be settled by me." β
Yang Gongzi hurriedly said: "! What's yours or mine? Brother Du said that it is not right, yesterday the elder brother gave the cabin, so that the foolish brother had the opportunity to get on the boat, now our brothers are about to be in the same boat, since we should help each other, the virtuous brother does not have to fight with the foolish brother, in the future we have the opportunity to play together, the virtuous brother is afraid that there is no chance to use the money? β
Du Qi didn't want to say much to Yang Gongzi, let alone call him a brother, but at this time, he had to pretend to be a little agitated and said: "Since Yang Gongzi said so, I had to enjoy it cheekily." β
Yang Gongzi said happily: "Virtuous brother doesn't have to be ashamed, this matter should be like this!" β
Dongfang Chaochao first looked embarrassed, pretended to be silent for a while, and then seemed to be a little heartache and said: "Since Yang Gongzi is so refreshing, I will be stingy if I care about it, so I will make a deal according to Yang Gongzi's wishes!" β
Yang Gongzi said: "Brother Dongfang is really enough friends, we have been dealing with each other for a long time, Steward Chen!" β
Steward Chen had already come behind Yang Gongzi, and when he heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Yes!" Then he took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Dongfang to shake the chaos, and at the same time said: "This is a thousand taels of silver tickets, please ask Dongfang Helmsman to order." β
Dongfang took the silver ticket with a smile, handed it to a vicuΓ±a gang beside him without looking at it, and said, "No need to order, no need to order, I can't trust others, can't I trust Yang Gongzi and Steward Chen?" The money for these cups of tea is mine, two sons, please! With that, Dongfang turned sideways and retreated to the side of the door, letting Du Qi and Yang Gongzi and the others walk out of the tea house, before they lined up others to catch up and followed closely behind Du Qi and Yang Gongzi.
As if he knew that Dongfang was following behind him, Yang Gongzi asked again: "Have the guests of the chartered boat boarded the boat?" β
Dongfang said in confusion: "The guest has not yet arrived, but the bodyguard hired by the guest has already boarded the ship, and I will now send the two sons on the boat to meet her after they are settled." β
Yang Gongzi seemed to be a little grateful and said: "Brother Dongfang is so tired, the younger brother is deeply frightened, Brother Dongfang can just send someone to send us on the boat, saving Brother Dongfang the fatigue of running up and down, and the little brother feels better." β
Dongfang said in confusion: "It is my responsibility to take care of the two sons, not to mention that I and the two sons hit it off at first sight?" Sending the two sons on the boat did not delay to greet the guests, so Yang Gongzi did not have to be polite! β
Yang Gongzi said: "Brother Dongfang's affectionate friendship has been recorded, and in the future, there will be a place for the little brother to be able to say it bluntly, and the little brother will not hesitate to go to the soup!" β
If it weren't for the conversation between Liao Gongzi and Steward Chen the night before, knowing that they had other plans to get on the boat, Du Qi really couldn't believe that a temperamental person like Yang Gongzi would secretly conspire to do evil.
While speaking, they have arrived at the wharf, Dongfang Chao said: "This wharf is located in a huge river bend, most of it is natural and half artificial, it has been hundreds of years, it is the private property of our gang, it is bigger than the official wharf of Jiujiang Prefecture, it is more prosperous, and it is much more famous, and some big businessmen like to load and unload goods here." β
Du Qi and Yang Gongzi and others had already seen the vastness of the river, and they couldn't see the other side at a glance, countless masts were swaying in the vicinity, and from time to time there was the sound of the river waves hitting the shore and the sound of boiling people, smelling a strong watery breath, which made people feel a heroic breath for no reason, and suddenly felt their own insignificance. At this time, they looked in the direction pointed by the Dongfang Chaochao, only to see that the riverbank was full of natural stone banks, dozens of stone steps were all artificially carved and led straight to the riverside, and there were more than ten large and small passenger and cargo ships moored along the coast, and there were people busy in and out of each boat, and on the river a little farther away, there were three or four large cargo ships docked there, as if they were waiting for the opportunity to enter the port to load and unload.
For Du Qi and the others to take is a medium three-masted ship, there are two floors on the deck, the top floor is where the upper cabin is located, the cabin on the deck is the medium cabin, but the ordinary cabin is located on both sides of the lower deck, the middle is connected by a corridor, there is a hatch to enter the cabin, and there is a two-foot square ventilation hole high on the wall facing the hatch, which is the window of these ordinary cabins, and its conditions are far from being comparable with the middle cabin, let alone the upper class, so the price is much cheaper.
The upper and lower stairs divide the floors of the building ship into two parts, the east dials the chaos and deliberately arranges, the four ordinary cabins of Du Qi and others are closely connected, located at the front end of the building ship two by two, each cabin is equipped with four vertical bunks at the corner, the shop is divided into two floors, can accommodate eight people, and there is a table of eight immortals and four benches in the middle. Dongfang said: "The cabins here are more spacious than the cabins in the rear, each can accommodate up to eight people, and four people less than the cabin in the rear, of course, the price is slightly more expensive than the cabin in the rear. β
Yang Gongzi said: "It all depends on Brother Dongfang's vigorous arrangement, this kindness is not grateful, and it will be reported in the future." Steward Chen, you can arrange for everyone to stay here later. β
At this time, they were standing in the corridor, and Du Qi pointed to an outer cabin and said, "Young Master Yang, leave this room to me, and how about the other three rooms are inhabited by your family?" β
Yang Gongzi said with a smile: "The virtuous brother has arranged it, and the foolish brother has no objections!" β
Du Qi said again: "So thank you Yang Gongzi, how about we go up there and see?" β
Dongfang hurriedly said: "Please come with me!" "As he spoke, lead the way.
On the second floor, there is a small hall, with tables, chairs, and closets, which seems to be a temporary reception place, and like a cloakroom, and in front of it is a hall, and in the middle of the front wall of the hall there is a corridor leading directly to the front lookout, and there are four cabins on both sides of the corridor, and a small hall in the back, and there is still a corridor leading to a terrace at the back, and there are only two cabins on both sides of the corridor, and Du Qi and Yang Gongzi are arranged in these two cabins respectively.
When they got on the boat, the vicuΓ±a gang on the boat was very busy coming and going, invisibly revealing a mysterious and tense atmosphere about to sail, so their arrival did not attract anyone's attention, for this, Yang Gongzi was very satisfied, and kept praising the vicuΓ±a gang for its strict organization and discipline.
Du Qi and Yang Gongzi followed the Dongfang chaos to the terrace, and saw that the terrace was relatively spacious, enough for twenty or thirty people to sit around for entertainment, and there was a small table and several deck chairs next to the railing in the middle of the tail, and a huge parasol was propped up above the small table, forming a huge shadow near the small square table, sitting here can not only enjoy the shade, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the boat, which is indeed a best place to go on a lonely journey.
Dongfang Chao led Du Qi and Yang Gongzi to sit down at the table, and ordered the handyman on the ship to bring fragrant tea, and said goodbye: "Please take a break here for the two princes, and I will go to meet the guests of the chartered boat?" β
Hearing this, Yang Gongzi seemed to be a little excited, and hurriedly said: "Brother Dongfang, please take care of yourself, don't worry about us!" β
Sending the East away to stir up the chaos, Du Qi and Yang Gongzi sat down at the table again, Lu Miaoer and Ren Dongming stood quietly behind Du Qi, but behind Yang Gongzi stood Steward Chen and another thin and tall man about thirty years old.
Looking at the busy crowd on the nearby riverbank and the beautiful scenery in the distance, Yang Gongzi took a sip of hot tea lightly, stretched his waist comfortably, and said with deep feelings: "People are different, you see how hard they work, how idle we are!" Some people are tired and half dead for a penny and a half taels of silver, but we can spend nearly a thousand taels of silver more for the comfort of the journey without feeling anything, and sometimes occasionally think about it and feel that God is indeed unfair. Man to man is like the land below, rich in some places and barren in others; Some places have beautiful scenery and are admired by the world, while others are buried deep underwater, and it is rare to see them even every day! β
Du Qi didn't expect Yang Gongzi to say such a thing, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and said with a smile: "What did Yang Gongzi think of, and he was full of emotion here?" β
Yang Gongzi said a little gloomily: "The foolish brother just saw the scene in front of him and remembered some things and felt a little, which made the virtuous brother smile." When the words fell, he calmed down, but asked: "What does the virtuous brother have to do in the capital, and is there a place where you need the help of the foolish brother?" β
Du Qi said: "I went to the capital purely for fun, and Yang Gongzi's good intentions had to be understood." β
Yang Gongzi said: "Oh? Why didn't the virtuous brother wait for the family to arrive before setting off? β
Du Qi said: "I didn't want them to follow, so I just took advantage of it." β
Yang Gongzi said: "Why is this? β
Du Qi said: "It's not a secret, I am a Jingzhou person, just because I am not used to my father forcing me to study, so I took the time to take this bodyguard and this old family to run out to play around, after my father learned, not only did not ask someone to arrest me back, but sent ten family members to follow, in the name of protection and service me, in fact, it is to spy on me, in order to avoid them, I and the bodyguard first ran to Jiujiang Mansion to play, but my old family only arrived last night, those family members, I was annoyed when I saw them, so I didn't bother to pay attention to them, What's more, I've already booked a place for them, and now that they can't get on the ship before they arrive, it's no wonder that I deliberately left them behind. β
Hearing this, Yang Gongzi glanced at Lu Miao'er and Ren Dongming, and saw that one seemed weak and shriveled, and the other was gray-haired, so he couldn't help but say: "Brother Xian's courage is really big!" You must know that the rivers and lakes are dangerous everywhere, and it is easy for the old, weak, and young people like the virtuous brother to be coveted by the gangsters. Brother Xian look at these subordinates of Brother Fool, all of them are full of energy and majestic, if nothing else, they will scare those gangsters half to death, or Brother Fool will pull out two strong men with strong martial arts to protect Brother Xian? β
Hearing Yang Gongzi say this, Steward Chen and the tall thin man standing behind him straightened their chests, and couldn't help but stand more straight, with a look of pride in their eyes, and their faces were full of complacency, and they looked down on the world.
Du Qi smiled: "Yang Gongzi is too worried, my old family is my grandfather's playmates, since he was a child, he has followed my grandfather to practice martial arts, and his skills are extraordinary, my bodyguard is even more strong in martial arts, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes, it is me, I practice martial arts hard, those family members are not my opponents at all, even if my family's bodyguards are alive, they don't dare to make moves with me, so we are quite polite if we don't mess with others, how can we worry about others coming to us for trouble?" β
Hearing Du Qi's words, Steward Chen and the tall and thin man couldn't help but glance at Ren Dongming and Lu Miao'er again, their eyes were full of contempt, and their faces were overflowing, they didn't believe that Du Qi and the three of them had strong martial arts at all, they only thought that Du Qi was boasting.
Yang Gongzi's original intention was to probe Du Qi's details, and seeing that he didn't need to spend any lip and tongue at all, Du Qi himself shook out the situation he wanted to know truthfully, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, when he heard Du Qi say how powerful the three of them were, he also thought that Du Qi was boasting, and he was even more relieved, but said: "Being in the rivers and lakes is not as good as being at home, even if the virtuous brother and your family are great, they must be careful." β
Du Qi said: "What Yang Gongzi said is true, so we are very low-key all the way. As he spoke, Du Qi's body leaned down beside Yang Gongzi, and then whispered mysteriously: "Even if you sometimes go to find a girl, you are afraid that others will find out, be careful and be careful." β
Hearing this, Yang Gongzi seemed to be stunned, and then Lang smiled: "It turns out that the virtuous brother also likes this, I really can't see it, the foolish brother really didn't meet the wrong person, haha"
Du Qi Mo used Xuangong, put a wisp of qi and blood to his cheeks, making his face slightly red, and said a little shyly: "Yang Gongzi smiled, is Yang Gongzi also?"
Yang Gongzi laughed and said: "Brother Xian's face is still too tender, just talking about it will turn red, although Brother Xian is not very old, he should be regarded as a real man, what is there that should not be said to people, let alone this kind of grandiose thing?" It's not a secret, every time the foolish brother goes, he will inevitably look for flowers and ask willows, and there are groups of wives and concubines at home, so he will take the virtuous brother to take a look. β
Du Qi's face turned even redder, and he said with some excitement: "Yang Gongzi doesn't know, I can't help but pursue a good-looking woman when I see it, but I never have to be strong, as long as she is willing, but she never has anything to do with a woman who has an affair with friends or acquaintances, so Yang Gongzi's invitation is difficult for me to obey!"
