Chapter 120: Where the Heart Aspires
Soon there were two giggles on the boat, Si Mengwen raised his head and glanced at the flower boat, Yun Jinran didn't know when he had walked back, seeing Si Mengwen's mood seemed to be better, and then he beckoned the boatman to row, the boatman smiled and nodded, although he was sloping at the foot of the slope, his face was still pockmarked, but he was very diligent in doing things, rowing the boat, and soon he was swinging to the middle of the lake.
Qin Duo and Yun Jinran Si Mengwen rented this boat out of desperation, because when they woke up, Yin Xianghua came to collect the boat to decorate the boat, and Qin Duo and a group of people had to come down to find a new boat, but today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, all the boats are full, only this one boat is left, because the boatman is lame, and his face is pockmarked, and he looks really ugly, so no one goes to take his boat, so all the boats have already gone to the middle of the lake, only his boat is still parked there, Waiting for guests.
Naturally, when they waited for Qin Duo and his party, everyone was not going to rent his boat, but there was really no one else's boat to rent, so without any choice, Fang rented his boat, and to the surprise of the three of them, the boatman's kung fu was good, and at this time, rowing the boat back and forth, shuttling between the boats, was very comfortable.
Qin Duo patted the boatman's shoulder rarely, "Not bad." ”
The boatman smiled sheepishly. "I'm ugly, I'm still lame, I have mother-in-law and children at home waiting for me to make money back, my business is not good, so when I have nothing to do, I just practice flower boats alone, not to mention other skills, I just close my eyes, and I can also come and go freely on Dongting Lake."
Qin Duo glanced at the fishing nets under the boatman's feet, smiled and nodded, these boatmen mainly make money by carrying people across the lake, presumably this boatman has to carry passengers away because of his bad business, and the rest of him carries it, and when there are no passengers, he is fishing to make some money.
"What's your name?" Qin Duo suddenly became interested, looked at the boat lady, and then asked.
"My name is Li Hansan, I live in Changyun Road, Baling County, my daughter-in-law is very beautiful, and now I have three children, two sons and one daughter, and the youngest daughter." After listening to Qin Duo's words, Li Hansan said with a smile, and when he talked about his family, he had a proud smile on his face.
Looking at Li Hansan's simple appearance, Qin Duo's best thing was to arouse a faint smile. "I heard that there are many flower farmers in this area of Dongting, but you are familiar with those flower farmers?" Qin Duo sat on the bow of the boat, watching Li Hansan row, and asked.
"Familiar, my daughter-in-law used to work in the art workshop, and often came into contact with these people, but now she doesn't go out to do things, and she still makes some rouge pollen from time to time to sell it, all of which I don't fight, if I am angry, my daughter-in-law just don't work so hard." Li Hansan seems to be a daughter-in-law in three sentences, Qin Duo is curious about this ugly man's daughter-in-law, I don't know what kind of woman it is, Fang is the one who can marry Li Hansan in front of him, regardless of identity, regardless of others, you must know that in this era, not many people can afford to be disabled people, and even if you are single for a lifetime, it is not impossible.
"I see." Qin Duo nodded, but silently wrote down Li Hansan's address, Si Mengwen walked in front of Qin Duo and touched Qin Duo's head. "Xiao Duo'er, I want to go back to the inn to rest, what about you?"
"Let's go back together, it's too crowded today, that, Li Hansan, you send us back first, tomorrow is still this time, you come to the lake and wait for us, we will book your boat first, this is today's boat fare and tomorrow's reservation." Qin Duo nodded, and then put a piece of silver into Li Hansan's hand, Li Hansan looked at the white silver in his hand, almost couldn't believe his eyes, took his eyes and bit them in his mouth, and then carefully put them in the small bag with his clothes attached to his chest.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, don't worry, I will be on time tomorrow." Li Hansan had a smile on his face, and then he said, as he spoke, he had already made a turn in the boat and sailed towards the lake.
The silver given by Qin Duo is not big, but the weight is very sufficient, Li Hansan originally only asked for the price of dozens of copper plates, and being able to receive a small piece of broken silver at this moment can be said to be a very happy thing for him, with the silver in his arms, Li Hansan's biggest wish now is to go home quickly and tell his daughter-in-law about this happy event.
Looking at Li Hansan's happy appearance, Qin Duo shook his head a little helplessly, but he had some envy in his heart, Li Hansan's open-minded attitude made Qin Duo, Si Mengwen, and even Yun Jinran all smile.
All the way back, the three of them also asked about Li Hansan and his wife, and learned that Li Hansan chased his daughter-in-law for ten years before chasing the beautiful daughter-in-law home, and the faces of the three of them were full of admiration, no wonder the girl was willing to marry Li Hansan, just this infatuation is completely understandable.
Si Mengwen's mood is also much better because of Li Hansan, although Li Hansan is not good-looking, and he does not leave his daughter-in-law in three sentences, but his eloquence is good, and he is very clear about the jokes and local customs along the way.
Back to the shore, Li Hansan didn't stay, just put the boat back with a smile, three people in a good mood went to a restaurant introduced by Li Hansan, the restaurant is very small, the signboards are swaying in the wind, and they may fall down at any time, because of Li Hansan's introduction before, after seeing this look, they didn't mind, pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside and outside can be said to be two different worlds, a middle-aged woman is sitting at the counter to plan the plate, everywhere is clean, although it is a restaurant, but there is a faint fragrance in the room, there are a few pots of rich bamboo in the corner, although simple, just a small courtyard of an ordinary person, but it is very attractive.
"Three, but you're here for dinner?" Seeing a guest coming, Feng Sanniang greeted him with a smile on her face, and saw that the clothes of the three people were extraordinary, and the business here was not very good, so Feng Sanniang was not sure for a while, and the three of them came over to eat from time to time.
"Yes, we're here to eat, your signature dishes here are all from the last one, don't worry, we're done." Qin Duo smiled and said to Feng Sanniang, Feng Sanniang nodded hurriedly, opened the curtains, and then invited the three of them to the window position, outside the window is Dongting Lake, there is noise everywhere, which happens to be in stark contrast to the tranquility here, beckoning people to sit down, Feng Sanniang has a few stacks of side dishes, obviously made by his own family, but it is very beautiful.
"Wait a minute, the three guest officers, I'll go in and help my family and prepare a good meal for the three of them." After speaking, Feng Sanniang was busy, Qin Duo looked at the surrounding scenery and sighed.
"I really didn't expect this to be such a beautiful place."
"I've seen it just now, the upstairs of this inn is up from the outside, and I also looked, the upstairs rooms are borrowed spider silk, Xiao Duo'er, you can rent it and open your most beloved Qiushui Yiren." Yun Jinran walked to Qin Duo's side and said with a smile.
Maybe he was getting close to Qin Duo, and Si Mengwen had also studied a lot of these things, so he looked at Qin Duo at the moment, and then said with a smile.
"Okay, when the time comes, I'm going to come in with Sister Si, Baling is really a beautiful place, I really want to retire here, the lakes and mountains, no wonder the literati and ink writers have spent so many ink pens to depict the beautiful scenery here, before, why didn't I feel that this place is so beautiful?" Qin Duo looked at the grand scene outside and sighed.
Yun Jinran is just shaking a fan. "What's so difficult about this, spend some money, just buy a Zhuangzi here, when the time comes, how you want to live, it's how you live, isn't it?" Yun Jinran said to Qin Duo with a smile.
Qin Duo was just talking casually before, naturally he didn't really want to live here completely, after listening to Yun Jinran's words, he just smiled, looking into the distance, the corners of his mouth were hooked up with a faint smile.
That night, several people rented a room here with Feng Sanniang, and then they inquired with Feng Sanniang about Li Hansan's news, since he was preparing to open a store in Baling County, Qin Duo naturally hoped to be familiar with these people and things, and also hoped that there would be a local person to parry, and Li Hansan was undoubtedly Qin Duo's choice.
Li Hansan's personality is obviously very good, taking care of the family, and he is also infatuated with his wife, he is not afraid of hardship or tiredness over the years, and his lame feet have also given his wife and children the greatest happiness.
Qin Duo is naturally very supportive of this matter, and he nodded without hesitation at the moment, whether it is called Pujia or something else, it is not important to him, the most important thing should be to make money.
Chatting with Feng Sanniang until late at night, the three of them were reluctant to prepare for Tiger Hill to rest, Feng Sanniang looked at the appearance of the three people, and naturally had some doubts in her heart, but seeing that the three of them were dressed well, and their conversation was also very elegant, although Feng Sanniang wondered why the three of them asked her about Li Hansan's news, she still told the three of them some irrelevant things.
