Chapter Seventy-Five: What I Saw and Heard at the Ferry
The closest ferry port on the Qingshui River to Li Hua'er's house is a place to go south after leaving Qinghe Village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because there was some fog in the morning, the river from Bongsan in the north to the south was shrouded in fog.
Looking at the other side from the river, the mountains and rivers and villages are shrouded in mist, which is particularly beautiful to look at.
Although in order to catch the earliest ferry, the two Li sisters went out very early, but when they arrived on the bank of the river, they found that the shore was already very lively.
Now, Li Guoer's mood has changed from apprehension to a little excitement, and when she sees the shore like this, her eyes widen and she looks at the excitement with great interest.
The fishermen's boats were leaning against the shore, and the boatmen were mending the sampans and bottoms, and some were sitting on the side of the boat yawning.
There were also many cargo ships coming and going on the wharf, and the boatmen in satin clothes were up and down the ground, leading a group of officials from the yamen, and they couldn't stop talking.
Seeing such a scene, Li Huaer became more and more emotional.
The top and bottom of this Pingshui Prefecture really attach importance to the court officials who are coming.
What's more interesting, when the two sisters arrived at the ferry, they found that the ferry had been sealed, and a person wearing an official uniform took a ruler and measured it on the ferry, followed by a person holding a pen and paper, followed by a person holding an inkstone, and remembered it while walking, and remembered to tell the little official who was in charge of the ferry.
The little officer in charge of the ferry kept nodding, and he didn't know what he was told.
A few villagers waiting to cross the river stood on the edge of the ferry, talking in whispers.
Li Hua'er frowned slightly, and went over to salute the official guarding the ferry: "Official Master Kangtai." ”
The official looked at Li Hua'er: "Crossing the river?" ”
Li Hua'er nodded: "Yes." ”
The official also disdained to talk to a little girl, and waved his hand: "Wait, you can cross the river after the measurement." ”
Li Hua'er wanted this sentence, thanked her, came back and pulled Li Guo'er and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, let's go sit in the tea shop there." ”
After that, he took Li Guoer to sit in the tea shop next to the ferry and asked for a pot of tea.
In the tea shop, there were a few officials who were dressed in the same uniform as the people on the dock, and they sat there very bored, picking their teeth and drinking tea, and eating tea fruits.
The tea was very light and tasteless, Li Hua'er didn't take a few sips, Li Guo'er never cared about these, and after taking two sips, she secretly glanced at the officials.
She was a little scared, so she approached Li Hua'er and whispered, "Sister, is it because the big man is coming?" ”
Li Hua'er nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid it's still a lot of people." ”
She was also shocked by this stance.
Don't be some kind of royal relatives here, right?
At this moment, an official in the tea shop shouted at Xiao Er to add water.
Xiao Er hurriedly went over, and was busy for a while, and when he saw that a few officials stopped gossiping, he smiled and asked, "A few adults are angry." ”
The head smiled and said, "We were sent by Lord Taishou, of course you are alive." ”
Only then did Li Huaer know that these people were from the state capital.
Bigger battles!
The little second was also taken aback, and hurriedly added tea more diligently, complimenting: "The little ones have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and the adults have worked hard...... Who is the official in Kyoto this time? Why do you let the adults run around so much? ”
The tea Xiaoer paused and asked cautiously.
After only asking this question, the nearby villagers pricked up their ears and listened.
This is what everyone wants to ask since the people of the surrounding villages were requisitioned to repair the city wall!
The official took a sip of tea and snorted: "Don't talk about you, Lao Tzu doesn't know!" I only heard that Beijing sent more than 20 patrols to 18 provincial roads, who knows which one came to us? Anyway, they are all big officials, so they just have to serve well. ”
When Li Hua'er heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It seems that there is some idea, I want to grasp it, but I slip away.
Li Guoer didn't understand: "Sister, what do you mean by what he said?" ”
She has always felt that what she doesn't understand, her sister must understand.
"It's just that the people who come are not ordinary. Don't be afraid, we just don't go up. Li Hua'er whispered.
Even if Li Hua'er didn't say this, Li Guo'er would never dare to lean up.
She held the teacup tightly and leaned towards Li Hua'er, looking very scared.
Seeing her like this, Li Hua'er pondered for a moment?
She didn't want Li Guo'er to cower like this.
Yes, she smiled again: "However, this kind of liveliness, we have never seen it once or twice in our lives, and now that we have seen it, we have seen it for a long time, which is very good." ”
When Li Guo'er heard this, she nodded obediently, but she was still a little shrunken, relying only on Li Hua'er, watching people measure the ferry, looking forward to crossing the river earlier and going to see her mother.
But those officials, when they heard Li Hua'er's words, glanced at their sisters.
Suddenly, two more cargo ships came from the river, and some coolies, who were sitting on the shore talking, saw the cargo ship coming, and quickly got up and came to the ferry.
"It's coming, it's coming." Several people shouted.
As soon as Li Hua'er raised her eyes, she saw Master Tao walking down from the cargo ship with a smile.
Li Hua'er frowned slightly.
An official at the tea shop whispered, "That person is surnamed Tao." ”
The man with the head sneered and got up: "Go, I'll meet them." ”
With that, a few people left the tea shop.
Li Hua'er was slightly stunned.
How does it seem like you're deliberately looking for trouble?
Before she could figure it out, the officials on the ferry had already come down, and the boatman of the ferry hurriedly leaned the boat against the pier and shouted outside: "Guests crossing the river, get on board!" ”
The sound is loud and loud, the same as the trumpet.
Seeing this, Li Hua'er hurriedly put down the tea money and pulled Li Guo'er to the dock.
Only when I was going to the dock, a few words of the conversation between Master Tao and the officials floated in Li Huaer's ears:
"This ...... It has always been so. Master Tao's tone was respectful.
"I didn't know you guys were like this here, but it's not like this." The official's voice was tinged with disdain.
Sure enough, I came to find trouble.
Li Hua'er smiled lightly.
One thing descends one thing, and not all the officials in this world are related to the Tao family.
Master Tao continued to talk to the official, and the messenger looked loyal, but Li Hua'er couldn't hear what they said clearly.
"Sister." Li Guoer whispered to her.
Li Hua'er looked at Li Guo'er's eyes, and saw Young Master Tao walking to the shore with a few little guys on crutches, and he didn't know what to laugh at, but he smiled very happily.
As soon as the young master Tao's gaze was biased, he fell on the ferry, in the direction of the Li family sisters.
Master Tao's smile stiffened.
Immediately, Young Master Tao withdrew his eyes, as if he hadn't seen it.
