On the afternoon of March 4, Song Qiuyi took Xiao Nan and Song Nuo to the Shihe Wharf, which was only more than 20 miles away from Luyangzhuang.

More than 10,000 tea seedlings and 5,000 osmanthus seedlings, this amount is of course nothing for bulk cargo, but compared to ordinary goods, it is definitely not small, and the general small wooden ship is definitely not good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The history of the Great Song Dynasty Caoyun was quite developed, the shipbuilding industry is booming, and the current new Northern Song Dynasty with a certain Shangshu is even more so, whether it is shipbuilding technology or the opening and dredging of the Cao Canal Road, it has been more than one grade higher than the real Great Song Dynasty, the three of them came all the way to the wharf, and saw countless large and small ships docked by the Shihe River from a distance.

Song Qiuyi has been in business for more than ten years, as the business is getting bigger and bigger, I don't know how many times he has been transported over the years, he is also a frequent customer at this Shihe wharf, no, Song Qiuyi's figure just appeared at the wharf, and he saw a middle-aged man dressed in gray short cloth clothes, who looked very lean, strode over: "Master Song, do you have goods to go?" ”

"Third Brother Cao, it's easy to say that you are here, I have more than 10,000 tea seedlings and thousands of osmanthus seedlings to be transported back to Song County, see if you can help me arrange it." Song Qiuyi was obviously quite familiar with this person, and as soon as the two met, he didn't go around in circles, and directly said his intentions.

"Hey, little thing, when do you use the boat? Where is the goods, do you need the help of the brothers to move the goods? The man surnamed Cao smiled and said very cheerfully.

"The day after tomorrow, there is no need for door-to-door delivery, you may need to help unload the goods when you arrive at the shore, you don't need it at the wharf here, Lvyangzhuang will send someone over." Song Qiuyi said.

"Oh, look at my brain, you buy tea seedlings here, you must buy them in Luyang Village, with your friendship with the owner of Ouyang Village, this goods really don't need us to move them, then it's decided, the day after tomorrow, I will wait for you at the dock." The man surnamed Cao sighed, stretched out his hand and patted his head, and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry for you." Song Qiuyi greeted him for a while, then waved goodbye, farewell to the three Cao brothers, because it was still early, Song Qiuyi took Xiao Nan and Song Nuo around the river again, and saw that it was getting late, so he returned to Luyangzhuang.

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, but saw the guy from Luyangzhuang hurriedly walking in with a carrier pigeon, Ouyang Zhuang took the pigeon, took off the letter and glanced at the cover, and handed it to Song Qiuyi: "Oh, your letter." As he spoke, he released the pigeon in his hand.

Song Qiuyi took it and opened it, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, this is a flying pigeon from Kaifeng, the letter was sent to Luoyang, but his own people are not in Luoyang, and the letter was sent here from Luoyang, the content of the letter said that three days later, that is, on March 8, there is an important business in Bianjing, and he needs to go over to negotiate in person, and it will be too late for him to send Xiao Nan and Chamiao back to Qingfu Town.

But he originally came to help Xiao Nan buy tea seedlings, but now that the tea seedlings haven't been shipped back, he didn't send Xiao Nan home safely, so what's the matter if he runs halfway? Ouyang Zhuang has been friends with him for more than ten years, and he can see his hesitation at a glance, he looked at the dilemma on Song Qiuyi's face, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Song has something urgent to deal with?" If so, you can go, and as for the two nieces who still have the goods, I promise to send someone to deliver them home safely. ”

"Ou Shibo is right, second uncle, if you have something to do, you will be busy with you first, my tea seedling matter, in Ou Shibo, what are you worried about?" Xiao Nan followed.

"Okay, then this matter will trouble Brother Ouyang, Nuo Niang, you go back by boat with Auntie, by the way, Brother Ouyang, the boat has been set, it is the boat of the Cao family brothers." Song Qiuyi thought about it, Xiao Nan herself was a very stable little girl, and with Ouyang taking care of her, there would indeed be no big problem.

"Got it, second uncle." Song Nuo nodded.

"By the way, Second Uncle, this time you came with us to buy tea seedlings, and there was no one around, the road to Bianjing is not close, so it is better to borrow a person with neat skills from Xiangyang Shibo to go with you." Seeing that Song Qiuyi had arranged everything and was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Nan couldn't help but say something again.

"Haha, Second Master Song, let you practice martial arts back then, and now even your nephew is worried about your safety, do you blush or not? That's it, owner, I'm going to go to Bianjing when I'm near Japan, so I'll go with Second Master Song. As soon as Xiao Nan's words fell, Heavy Hammer couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, with the hammer with you, there are no hidden worries about Qiu Yi's old handover, so you can go." Ouyang Zhuang Zhuang responded happily, and then waved his hand, and directly opened his mouth to drive people, this hammer is a famous master in the martial arts, a few years ago, he had been favored by Ouyang Zhuang Zhuang, and since then he has withdrawn from the martial arts, and followed Ouyang Zhuang with all his heart, Ouyang never regarded him as a person, but as his own brother.

Song Qiuyi left, Xiao Nan's side of all the itinerary has not changed, the ship schedule is still March 6, because the noon sun is larger, has a certain impact on the seedling roots, for this reason, the work of digging seedlings is arranged in the morning and afternoon, on the afternoon of March 5, Ouyang Zhuang arranged for someone to dig part of it, and the rest is to dig up and package it early in the morning of March 6, and when Xiao Nan and Song Nuo had breakfast, they took them to the dock with the carriage that pulled the seedlings.

Because Song Qiuyi left temporarily, the owner of Ouyang Zhuang specially sent two shrewd and capable hands to escort the goods with the two women, and in addition, he himself followed him to the dock.

Third Brother Cao, who was waiting for Song Qiuyi at the dock, saw Master Ouyang and the carriage with seedlings behind him, although he was surprised why he didn't see Song Qiuyi, his face was silent, he took a few steps to meet him, and said with a smile: "Master Ouyang Zhuang, why are you here in person?" ”

"My brother Song has something to leave temporarily, and the matter of the goods will be temporarily handed over to our Luyangzhuang to deal with, and these two girls are the closest relatives and juniors of Brother Song's family, they want to go back to Song County with the boat, and you will take care of Cao Laosan on the way." The owner of Ouyang Zhuang smiled slightly, pointed at Xiao Nan and Song Nuo and said.

"No problem, I will definitely send the two girls to Song County safely." Cao Laosan immediately patted his chest and assured that his Cao family brothers had some power in the waterway, but whether it was the Song family or the Ouyang Zhuang owner in front of him, they were all people he couldn't afford to provoke, when Song Qiuyi came over the day before yesterday, Xiao Nan and Song Nuo were by his side, and now Ouyang Zhuang came over personally for the two girls, Cao Laosan didn't dare to have any slack.
