Chapter 23 Lotus Lake
"Miss, uncle, this is your room." Koharu said, pointing to a large room in the middle.
"Got it, go and rest!"
Seeing a few little maids enter the room separately, Chen Bo also pulled Lu Caiyun into the room arranged by Su Hang, and as soon as he entered the room, Chen Bo sat on the big bed in the middle of the house and looked at Lu Caiyun and said; "Xiaoyun, I think this Uncle Su treats us well, not only treats us with delicious food and drink, but also arranges for us to live in such a big house."
"Well, that's good." Lu Caiyun pouted and said.
"Xiaoyun, you should be happy that we have negotiated a business, why do I think you are not happy?" Chen Bo asked inexplicably.
"Xianggong, the business is negotiated, but it can be sold. I'm worried about sales, haven't you listened to Uncle Su's analysis. Silk is not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, and if it is to be sold, it is also sold to those dignitaries, but there are only a few dignitaries in our Kyoto City! Lu Caiyun frowned and said.
"Xiaoyun, why do you want to do so much? Let's get the silk back first. ”
"It seems that this is the only way." Lu Caiyun sighed.
"If you want to say that this Uncle Su is good to us, he will give us two hundred taels of silver at once."
"It's not a send, it's a later payment." Caiyun repeated.
"Xiaoyun, why do I think you don't seem to be very satisfied with Uncle Su? We should be thankful for others. ”
"It doesn't matter if we do business, thank you or not, we are helping him sell things, and if we want to thank him, he will thank us." Lu Caiyun looked at Chen Bo and said.
"I really don't understand you businessmen" Chen Bo shook his head and said, for him, Uncle Su was selling a big favor to his father.
"Xianggong, you will understand slowly, okay, let's rest! Tomorrow, our husband and wife will take Xiaochun to see the scenery of Suzhou City, and we will go on the road the day after tomorrow. After Lu Caiyun finished speaking, he took off his shoes and climbed into bed.
Chen Bo then climbed into the bed and lay down next to Lu Caiyun, he really couldn't understand Lu Caiyun's thoughts, obviously he had a good conversation with Uncle Su, as if he was very dissatisfied with Uncle Su.
After breakfast the next day, Lu Caiyun and Chen Bo left Sufu with Xiaochun, and the three of them came to the suburbs by horseback, Lu Caiyun saw a lake not far away, and there were several small boats parked by the lake, and he hurriedly said to Chen Bo: "Xianggong, let's go rowing, you see there is a lake in front." ”
Chen Bo also saw a large lake in front of him and the boats by the lake. Busy smiled and said: "It's okay to row, but Xiaoyun, you and I are both landlubbers, and it's not good to fall into the lake." ”
"Xianggong, can you row?" Lu Caiyun said in surprise.
"No, but as you said, I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs go."
Xiaochun looked at Chen Bo and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Miss, let's let the boatman help us row later!" ”
Lu Caiyun smiled: "It's okay, then we can calm down and watch the beautiful scenery." ”
"Wouldn't Xiaoyun's price be very expensive? I think it's more cost-effective for us to row our own. Chen Bo objected.
"Uncle, the three of us are all northerners, and we can't row boats. As you said, we have all seen pigs go, but once the boat capsizes, we landlubbers will drown in the water. No matter how much money you save, you won't be able to spend it. ”
"Xianggong, what Xiaochun said makes sense, let's let the boatman help us row! This will give us time to pick some lotus seeds
Now, I see that there are a lot of lotus pods in that lake. ”
The three of them walked to a small boat by the lake, and when they saw someone coming over, the boatman hurriedly smiled and asked, "Do you want to rent a boat?" ”
"Dare to ask the boatman what is the name of this lake?" Lu Caiyun asked curiously.
"The name of this lake is Lotus Lake, and it is named after the lotus root in the lake."
"Can you pick the lotus seeds in this lake at will?" Koharu leaned over and asked.
"Yes, as long as you don't bother." The boatman smiled.
"How do you rent your boat?" Chen Bo asked.
"Rent a tael of silver a day, and five hundred wen a day." The boatman said without raising his head.
"How much does it cost to rent a boat with someone and a boat?" Koharu asked.
"I don't know what this girl means?" The boatman looked at Koharu and asked with a wink.
"Uncle, we are not locals who can't row, I want your old man to help us row, how much silver do you think?" Lu Caiyun explained.
"If you want to rent a boat with people, it's a tael of silver for half a day."
"Boatman, you're too expensive! Can it be cheaper? Chen Bo said embarrassedly. You must know that a fine brocade is only a tael of silver.
"The ship's deal." Lu Caiyun took out a tael of silver and was about to hand it to the boatman.
At this time, I saw Chen Bo grab the silver back and say, "Xiaoyun, it's too expensive, I think we still won't sit down!" It's better to walk around and see the beautiful scenery. ”
"Xianggong, if you don't row in Suzhou, you don't come, and it's not too expensive."
"It's not expensive, a fine brocade is only one or two silver, which costs one or two silver to play around the lake." Chen Bo said distressedly.
"This little brother, silk is not worth much to us. A tael of silver is too expensive. You see, my boat is still on the lake, and because I came out late today, the other boatmen have already rented out the boat. You see, there are at least a dozen boats on this lotus lake," the boatman analyzed.
"You need a tael of silver to row a boat around the lake, isn't that expensive?"
"It's not like the silk can't walk in the water, but my boat can."
"You can't wear that boat yet." Chen Bo pouted and said.
"Okay, Xianggong, isn't it just a tael of silver? Won't we be able to make money when we ship the silk back? After Lu Caiyun finished speaking, he took the silver in Chen Bo's hand and handed it to the boatman.
The boatman took the silver into his bosom and said, "Let's get on board!" ”
Seeing Lu Caiyun and Xiaochun jumping on the boat happily, Chen Bo also got on the boat very reluctantly, because it was the first time to take the boat, Xiaochun was very excited, and shouted: "Miss, you see a red fish in the water." He grabbed a big lotus canopy and dragged it vigorously.
The boatman looked at Koharu and said; "Little girl, you can't get a lotus pod like this, this lotus stalk grows in the lake mud of more than ten meters, it is very strong, give you this sickle." After speaking, he threw a scythe to Koharu.
Look at the lotus canopy full of the lake, the fish in the water, and the mountain scenery in the distance. Lu Caiyun said excitedly: "Xianggong, this Suzhou is really a good place, the water is beautiful, and the mountains are also beautiful." ”
"Guest officer, this is your first time in Suzhou! There's more to Suzhou than that. The boatman said as he rowed.
"Uncle, we want to spend a few more days in Suzhou City, can you introduce some interesting places?" Lu Caiyun looked at the boatman and said.
"If you want to say that the most interesting places in our Suzhou are those royal gardens, but unfortunately they are royal private land, and we ordinary people can't go." The old boatman shook his head and said-
Xiaoxi has opened a new pit, I hope you will read, recommend, and collect. Xiaoxi guarantees that the new pit is very exciting and will definitely attract you.
