Chapter 162
The wharf in Fengcheng is really prosperous, full of boats, Yun Man and Ah Xiang carried two small burdens and got off the boat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yun Man looked around, and there were men carrying goods everywhere, shirtless, and in full swing.
Looking left and right, they finally saw a person who looked like a steward, and the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the ship to the south, which one could be opened immediately tonight, and how much it would cost.
The person in charge first looked at Yun Man and Ah Xiang's clothes, and then looked at the luggage in their hands, and suddenly said with a high-spirited look,
"What are you two doing in the South?"
"Oh, steward, we are going to visit relatives, and I ask you to make it convenient, if we can sail tonight, we sisters will get on the boat, and we can save a night's lodging."
Yun Man's expression was humble and meek, and he also stuffed ten copper plates into the steward, and the steward looked at the ten copper plates, although he was too little, but looking at Yun Man and Ah Xiang's clothes, he also knew that the two of them could not have more oil and water.
And Yun Man's attitude made the person in charge very comfortable, he was rarely held, this time he was a little fluttery, so he nodded and said,
"For the sake of your sincerity, then get on the ship, this ship, after loading the goods, will sail to Hangzhou, and when you arrive in Hangzhou, it will be more convenient for you to get off the boat to find people."
"Ah, thank you so much, butler, may I ask about this fee?"
Yun Man looked along the fingertips of the steward, and sure enough, there were several ships in the middle, loading, not unloading.
"Fees? The two of you, each with ten taels of silver, cannot be less! “
The man in charge looked at the burden of the two, and his heart was ruthless, and he said the price.
Yun Man hurriedly pretended to be surprised, turned his head to Ah Xiang and said,
"Oh my God, it's so expensive! What to do, is there enough silver? “
Ah Xiang saw Yun Man glancing at her, and hurriedly began to rummage through the baggage, and took out some broken silver and copper plates.
The two of them pressed their heads against their heads, and finally scraped together twenty taels of silver, and handed them over to the steward.
The steward was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Yun Man and the two to really be able to make up twenty taels, looking at the silver in Yun Man's hand, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, he reached out and took the silver, put it in his sleeve, waved at Yun Man and the two, and led the way.
Yun Man and Ah Xiang followed behind the steward and got on one of the cargo ships, but the steward was not too embarrassed Yun Man and Ah Xiang did not take the two to the bottom cabin, you must know that the bottom cabin is generally inhabited by workers who move goods, and if the two girls live in it, it is really too inconvenient.
How did Yun Man know, in fact, ten taels of silver for two people was enough, this ship mainly relied on goods to earn silver, and people were just incidental.
Yun Man looked at the cabin on this floor, but they were all ordinary people, all thinking of going to Hangzhou to visit relatives, or going to Hangzhou to do small businessmen.
"You two will sleep in this room!"
looked at the room pointed by the steward, it was the best room on this floor, Yun Man and Ah Xiang hurriedly bowed their heads and thanked the steward.
The steward waved his hand and said casually,
"This is the best room on this floor, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't easy for you two little girls, it wouldn't be cheap."
Yun Man's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said,
"This is really troublesome for you, you see that my two sisters are already penniless, otherwise I can still honor you, it's really embarrassing."
"Well, it's okay, it's okay, who called me good!"
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze out the money of the two anymore, the person in charge didn't bother to say any more, waved his hand and turned around and left.
Yun Man hurriedly responded behind him,
"That's, that's, you walk slowly."
When the person in charge left, Ah Xiang turned his head, turned around and entered the room, Yun Man touched his nose and smiled helplessly.
Looking at the surrounding rooms, poking his head out from time to time, looking at Yun Man, seeing Yun Man looking at them, he smiled shyly, Yun Man also nodded, didn't talk, and turned back to the room.
Although this room is already the best on this floor, it has only one bed, a washing shelf, plus two stools and a small square table.
Compared with other rooms, there is one more window, a small square table and two small round stools, the roof of the warehouse is very low, and it is a little impossible to stand up straight, Ah Xiang sits in front of the small square table, drinking tea in a huff.
"Ah Xiang, what are you angry about?"
Yun Man also sat down, took out a set of flower tea cups, lit candles, and boiled them.
Ah Xiang was immediately attracted by the beautiful glass tea set in front of her, looked at the coarse porcelain cup in her hand, and then looked at the glass in Yun Man's hand, and suddenly sighed discouragedly and said,
"I think that for twenty taels of silver, we can go to live on the upper floor, why bother to take silver, and lower my body in front of a steward, it really makes my chest tight."
"Living on this floor is for our safety, even if the person in charge wants to give us a floor, I will ask to come down."
Yun Man smiled and took the teacup in Ah Xiang's hand, put it aside, and said.
"Safety? Our safety? Why? “
Ah Xiang obviously hasn't been far away, and she doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister, but Yun Man has long thought that everyone can't be trusted, and everything needs to be guarded.
"Our two girls' family, although it is difficult for people to be evil if they are not good-looking, but what if we have wealth? Will people just get rich and attack us? “
Yun Man looked at Ah Xiang's sudden realization, and she didn't know if she was right to teach her like this.
"If we two girls' families let people know that they have a lot of money on them, wouldn't it be obvious that they would let them rob us?"
"But this is on the ship, there will be no blatant robbery! The main thing is that your injury is not yet complete, but you have to recuperate, you look at this, how can you rest well! “
Ah Xiang is actually still worried about Yun Man's body, and she can't get used to seeing Yun Man actually give a little steward and accompany a smiling face.
"It's okay, I have my own way, besides, this is the best, I don't think even if someone comes after me, he can't imagine that I will live in this kind of place."
Yun Man thought about it, and always felt as if something was going to happen, otherwise, she would not pretend to be poor.
However, seeing the people living on this floor, Yun Man and Ah Xiang knew that they were in charge of the affairs, and they must have charged them more money.
"This, well! I listen to you, it's just that the one in charge, the girl won't laugh like this in the future, I look uncomfortable. “
Ah Xiang thought about it and felt that it was better to forget it, it was useless to say more about the matter at this point, not to mention that Yun Man had said it, so it was for the good of the two of them, so he didn't say anything more.
After tossing for so long, Yun Man felt tired, got up and prepared to wash up, and went to sleep.
Ah Xiang saw it, and she didn't care about drinking tea, so she hurriedly came forward to help, and as soon as the two opened the bucket, they found that it was empty.
"I'm going to fetch water!"
Ah Xiang picked up the bucket and was about to go out, but Yun Man grabbed her and said,
"Okay, you're tired from the day, eat something first, I'll do it! By the way, just wash it in the place where you get water, and go back and bring you a little water back, I can't be tired. “
Yun Man reached for the bucket and cotton cloth, ready to go out.
Ah Xiang turned her head to look at the snacks and buns on the table, and her stomach rang with a "gurgling, gurgling", and her face suddenly blushed. (To be continued.) )
