Qiu Niang was upset about buying a boat, although it was not good to show it on her face, she only smiled reluctantly: "Are you here?" "Don't say much, go over and open the door.

"It's not long since I arrived." Qin Xiao followed behind Qiu Niang, today Qiu Niang was wearing a boat girl dress, below was the gray cloth trousers, and she was wearing a long-sleeved narrow shirt made of flower cloth, although it was simple, but it was clean, at this time, looking at it from behind, she felt more and more that this beautiful girl's figure was really graceful.

may be holding the boat from time to time, Qiu Niang's figure is quite graceful.

The pipa-like jade back is straight, because of the narrow shirt, the waist is tightened, it looks very slender, the curve is downward, outlined into an arc to both sides, forming a round full line, wrapped in gray cloth trousers, the outline is very clear, it is really a bee waist and hips, enchanting and colorful, that is even the skill of the painter can not depict the vividness.

The Taiping Society came to find Qin Xiao last time and sent a lot of generous gifts, Qin Xiao transferred all the gifts to the Gu family, especially the high-quality silk, Qiu Niang loved it very much, and felt that Qin Xiao was not only capable of a lot, but also generous, and praised him.

People give themselves such valuable gifts, and now when they are here, they always have to give people a bowl of rice to eat.

"No, I just ate it." Qin Xiao stopped and said, "Sister Qiu Niang, there is something I want to ask you." ”

When she walks, her waist swings lightly, and she sways even more.

"Unhappy?" After Qin Xiao waited for Qiu Niang to open the door and enter, she also followed up in the room and put the pastries on the table: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Qiu Niang is also very familiar with Qin Xiao now, and she knows that this young man is very capable, and when she is tired, she still says: "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook for you. ”

"In fact, after the river fee is waived, I am afraid that many people will change their careers to do this." Qin Xiao sighed: "The competition will be even greater in the future. ”

Qiu Niang smiled and said, "Didn't the people from the Taiping Club last time say that they would help me attract customers, no matter how big the competition is, with their help, there will be no shortage of guests." ”

Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Niang's delicate face, thinking that this beautiful girl was very satisfied, just because others helped her find guests, she was happy in her heart, and ate with her own hands, although the fat woman opposite scolded her for being a vixen, but she was indeed a thrifty woman, she groaned, and finally said: "Sister Qiu Niang, have you ever thought about changing careers?" ”

"What's the matter?" Qiu Niang wondered.

Qin Xiao asked with a smile: "I saw a lot of cruise ships in the river, have you bought your boat?" ”

Qiu Niang only felt that this guy really didn't open a pot, and when she mentioned the cruise ship, she was very annoyed, and shook her head and said: "No, it's not easy to buy a boat at this time." The Taiping Society has waived river tolls, and now the boat is rising, and the money is very expensive. ”

"You can run a shop." Qin Xiao finally said: "I see that there are many shops suitable for women in Kyoto City, such as gouache and rouge shops, and silk and satin villages, all of which are fine." ”

Qiu Niang was stunned, then covered her mouth and smiled: "You are talking nonsense." How can a shop in Kyoto be run by a small person like us? When a shop opens, I don't have a few hundred taels of silver to think about

Don't think about it, even if I sell myself, it's not worth a few hundred taels of silver. ”

"Changing careers?" Qiu Niang was stunned, not understanding what Qin Xiao meant.

"I mean, it's too hard to hold the boat, it's windy and sunny, and if it's windy and rainy, you can't get any money." Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Niang's eyes and said: "In the autumn and winter, business is more difficult to do, not only is it hard, but in fact, the income is not very high, if you are willing, you can change your career to do other things." ”

Qiu Niang sighed faintly: "What else can I do? The women's families can't work, they all stay at home and take care of the housework, your eldest brother Gu is on an errand in the yamen, and his salary is used to buy books, which is also the right way, and I naturally can't stop it. Anyway, I have the strength to support the boat to help the family share the burden, so that he can study and run errands with peace of mind. ”

"You're leaving?" Qiu Niang was a little gloomy, and sighed lightly: "Bai Yi is accompanied by books, he has no friends in Kyoto, and there is no one to talk to, so I finally met you, and I have nothing to say to you, and now you are leaving again, he ..... He must have been reluctant. ”

Qin Xiao really wanted to ask you if you were reluctant, but naturally he couldn't ask this, and said with a slight bow: "I am also reluctant to take care of Big Brother..... And you, but Kyoto is not a place for me to stay. Brother Gu likes books, this is a good thing, reading is reasonable, he has this hobby, and it is too late for others to envy him. Before parting, I just want you to live a better life in the future, Sister Qiu Niang, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, let alone charity, this time in Beijing, you and Brother Gu helped me a lot, without you, I may not be able to leave Kyoto alive, so ..... I just wanted to show you a little bit of love. ”

Qin Xiao's words were heartfelt.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that you are diligent and thrifty, even if you have ten thousand taels of gold and silver, you can't buy you, but naturally you can't say this, and said directly: "You don't have to worry about the silver, I will be responsible, as long as you want, you think about whether you want to open a silk village or run a gouache rouge, after deciding, leave the rest to me." ”

Qiu Niang was even more stunned, but just shook her head and said, "I know you are kind, but although Bai Yi and I are poor, we are not greedy people." I am also happy that you fall in love with Bai Yi, but Bai Yi said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, even if it is a tael of silver, I can't ask for you. ”

"I naturally know Sister Qiu Niang's character." Qin Xiao said sincerely: "The case of the military department has been closed, and I may have to leave Kyoto in a few days, and I may not see each other for a long time..... 1”

"I know what you mean, too." Qiu Niang's expression was gentle, and she said calmly: "We met you, and it was fate, you are leaving, and the white clothes are reluctant, but you are a man, and you always have your own future." Although I am living a poor life now, I feel comfortable and I don't owe anyone anything, and Bai Yi and I also like this kind of life, do you understand? ”

Qin Xiao groaned slightly, and finally said, "Since Sister Qiu Niang said this, I won't say anything more." Do you have time now, I'll take you somewhere? ”

"Go..... Where to go? Qiu Niang wondered.

The Gu family's sisters and brothers are living in poverty, with Gu Baiyi's temperament, they are not good at managing personnel, and there may be no hope of getting promoted and getting rich.

Qin Xiao is not lacking silver now, with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he is a rich man wherever he goes, he knows that if he sends silver directly, the Gu family brothers and sisters will definitely not accept it, and it may make the Gu family sisters and brothers misunderstand and feel that they are looking down on them.

So he thought about it, but he was ready to try his best to improve their living environment with his own strength before leaving.

Qiu Niang's most worrying thing now is the matter of the cruise ship, hearing Qin Xiao say this, her clear eyes are even brighter, and she was about to reach out and let Qin Xiao pull herself on the horse, but when she thought of something, she hurriedly said: "Wait a minute." I locked the door in the past, and then I came back, stretched out my hand, Qin Xiao held her wrist, her skin was smooth and elastic, and she pulled Qiu Niang to the back of the horse and sat behind her.

"Hold on, we're in a hurry!" Qin Xiao turned around and said.

Qiu Niang was thinking about buying a boat, and after getting on the horse, she realized that she and Qin Xiao would inevitably have physical contact, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed, but she thought that she was much older than him, but she was not too restrained, the most important thing at this time was to buy a boat, so she could only stick to her body, and her arms wrapped around Qin Xiao's waist, Qin Xiao shook the reins of the horse, and the black overlord immediately neighed and rushed out of the yard.

Qin Xiao smiled: "You believe me, come with me." But he stretched out his hand and grabbed Qiu Niang's wrist, went out, and walked to the side of the black overlord, then let go, turned over on the horse, and stretched out his hand to Qiu Niang: "Come up!" ”

Qiu Niang shook her head, looked at the tall black overlord, and hesitated: "Where are you going to take me?" I.... I don't know how to ride a horse. ”

"Aren't you going to buy a boat?" Qin Xiao smiled: "I happen to know a person, he has a boat in his hand, the price is cheap, if you don't go over, I'm afraid that I will be robbed by others." ”

Qin Xiao didn't care, ignoring the crowd on both sides, but Qiu Niang's chest squeezed and rolled on her back, but it still made Qin Xiao's body a little hot, and she tried her best to calm her mood, only feeling that it was really a little unreasonable to have a longing for such a thrifty and kind beautiful girl.

I don't know how long it took, after passing through several people's houses, and finally came to a river, Qin Xiao slowed down his horse, and when he reached a willow tree on the bank, he stopped his horse, turned his head slightly and said, "Sister Qiu Niang, it's here!" ”

Qiu Niang raised her head at this time, looked left and right, and then looked at the river, knowing that this is a branch of Raoshui, there are many scenic spots on the side of the river, and there are many cruise boats on this river, without thinking much, Qin Xiao has already turned over and dismounted, and then helped Qiu Niang to get off the horse, pointing to a cruise ship by the river and saying: "How about you look at this boat?" ”

The speed of the black overlord is extremely fast, Qiu Niang only felt the wind in her ears, and she was even more nervous, and couldn't help hugging Qin Xiao tightly, but in this way, the whole body was close to Qin Xiao's back, her chest was full, Qin Xiao only felt that the two soft balls were rubbing up and down with the galloping horse in her reserve, although there were clothes to obstruct it, but she could clearly feel the fertility of Qiu Niang's chest and the amazing elasticity, she knew that this beautiful girl was very proud here, and when she felt their outlines, she knew that it was much better than what she saw.

Walking through the streets and alleys, the Black Overlord is a divine horse, and his momentum is amazing, but the people in the streets and alleys are surprised that Qin Xiao is dressed in cloth, and Qiu Niang is dressed as a boat lady, how can such two people have such a divine horse?

In fact, after running through two streets, Qiu Niang also realized that something was wrong, she didn't change her clothes when she went out, she was still dressed as a boat girl, and she rode through the streets and alleys in such a dress, which would inevitably be very conspicuous, and when she saw the place she passed on the horse, the people on both sides cast surprised eyes, feeling a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were even hotter, so she could only hug Qin Xiao's waist, lower her head, and rest her forehead on Qin Xiao's back, not daring to look at the crowd on both sides.

Qiu Niang glanced at the middle-aged man, just smiled, took Qin Xiao's arm and walked aside, and said in a low voice: "This boat is not an old ship, it is a new ship, and it ..... And the materials are excellent, the workmanship is good, you see it also has a tent, and the tent is also carved around the pattern, which ..... This boat will cost at least twenty taels of silver in the shipyard, I ..... I can't afford it. ”

"Sister Qiu Niang, I don't know much about ships, according to what you say, this is a good ship?"

Qiu Niang walked to the river, looked at the cruise ship a few times, looked back at Qin Xiao, shook her head, Qin Xiao was surprised: "Don't like it?" ”

There was a middle-aged man on the cruise ship, and when he saw Qin Xiao, he immediately jumped ashore and arched his hand: "Qin Gongzi, are you here?" looked at Qiu Niang, but it was also a deep salute.

Qiu Niang was a little dazed, and the middle-aged man had already smiled and said, "This lady wants to buy a boat?" I have a boat to sell, can you take a look at it first? If you like it, the boat can be sold to you. ”

"Of course." Qiu Niang immediately said: "This is the best cruise ship on the river in Kyoto, among the hundreds of cruise ships, there are only five or six at most, there are such cruise ships, there are no guests at all, but where would ordinary people buy such a good boat." Let's go, no need to ..... No need to talk to him. ”

"Does the lady think the price will be very high?" The middle-aged man had already heard it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, lady, this boat is not expensive, I guarantee that you can afford it." You first see what is missing on this ship, or if there is anything you are not satisfied with, I can ask the master to renovate, if there is no problem, the lady will give me two taels of silver, and the boat will be sold to you. In the next business Tong Su is not bullied, talking is counted, the price is two taels, if you think it is expensive, we can also negotiate, the price has to be discussed. ”
