Chapter 39: On the Riverside
Wang Hai hurriedly replied:
"On the side of Dengzhou, the army and the rebels of the imperial court are all harming the people, these people have no way to survive in Dengzhou, so they can only run out to try their luck!"
Seeing that Li Meng was about to pay money again, Chen Liuzi on the side hurriedly whispered:
"Brother Li, don't pay for it, give one, you have to surround it, it's very troublesome."
Li Meng was stunned, didn't say anything, just sighed, and walked towards the city gate again, the three of them carried their burdens, and as soon as they walked into the city gate, some soldiers shouted and said:
"Stop, where did you come from, is there a way?"
Li Meng put his pocket on the ground, took out the general flag of the Xue family of the Lingshan Guard from his arms, and said goodbye, except for the soldiers who came to ask, the rest of the people were lazily leaning against the city wall to bask in the sun, and when they saw that it was a general flag, the soldiers did not check, but they did not have any respectful expressions, and returned to Li Meng with the farewell, and lazily returned to the side to bask in the sun.
When Li Meng and the others entered the city, they heard the clear laughter behind them, "Poor soldiers", Li Meng shook his head, thinking to himself Aren't you also military men, what qualifications do you have to laugh at us there. Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai were furious and were stopped by Li Meng with his eyes.
As soon as you enter Jiaozhou City, Wang Hai has thrown many times in the past six months, and is very familiar with the roads in the city, the three of them walked along the Xiaobai River in Jiaozhou City, at the end of the first month of the lunar calendar, in the east of Shandong, there is also a little spring, there is no ice in the Xiaobai River, and there are already new sprouts on the willow branches on both banks.
In this way, there are some scenery on both sides of the Xiaobai River, and if you put it in the mouth of some sour and rotten literati, this is quite a "Jiangnan scenery".
On both sides of the riverbank, there are quite a few pedestrians who leisurely watch the spring guang, Li Meng, who is carrying a salt bag, exhales lightly, this atmosphere in Jiaozhou City, always makes him have a lot of emotion, thinking of the time when he lived in the city in modern times, which was extremely rich in material and spiritual time and space.
Thinking about it now, what I have to think about every day is how to survive better in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, boiling my body every day, thinking about making the business of private salt bigger, and analyzing the situation from the news provided by those lawbreakers in the four miles and eight towns, thinking of this, Li Meng suddenly smiled bitterly, isn't what he has done is similar to those underworld leaders who are hated by him in modern times? It's just that others are drug traffickers and smugglers, and they themselves are salt traffickers.
Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai ran to a stall by the river, they were buying chestnuts to eat, they had a few spare money in their hands, and they lacked mouths, Li Meng was in a good mood, there was nothing urgent to enter the city, and they went to hang out. It's also good to take a look at the scenery and relax yourself.
On the opposite bank of the river, there was a group of people, with cars and horses, it looked like a team of eunuch families, Li Meng glanced at it, and was immediately attracted to it.
Surrounded by two or three mothers-in-law, a young woman in a pink bikini skirt was walking along the riverbank, at this time the Xiaobai River was not as dry as it is in modern times, the water was abundant, the river was a little wide, Li Meng could see the young woman's appearance clearly from this distance.
It's beautiful, this girl is walking slowly on the other side of the river, her demeanor is quite dignified, you can see that the girl is watching the scenery by the river, with a smile on her face, obviously quite happy.
My Fair Lady, I don't know why, this word appeared in Li Meng's heart, the health office is not without women, but they are just working hard for life and the sea breeze blowing, there are no women in each, Li Meng is also a young man, but in modern times, he has seen a lot of beauties through various channels, and he is really not interested in these 'rough' women.
To exaggerate, the woman who appeared on the other side of the river was the real woman Li Meng met after coming to this era.
In modern times, Li Meng occasionally stared at beautiful women on the street, and the other party may not be angry and feel very proud, but this is the Ming Dynasty.
The mother-in-law who was surrounding the girl saw Li Meng who was in a daze here, and was immediately furious, and stopped a few people on the road to the shore, and the girl in the pink bikini skirt also noticed that Li Meng was staring at her, and immediately lowered her head with a flushed face, her face was flushed, and her face was flushed, and this kind of shyness was even more moving.
Li Mengdu was a little stunned, and a fire in his heart slowly burned, and at this moment, he heard someone on the opposite side scolding angrily:
"That poor man, staring at the dog's eyes and looking at something, I'm not afraid to gouge out your eyes!!"
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, but saw a man in a green coat and a small hat on the shore pointing at himself and scolding, the marching team was also alarmed, and several men who followed the car also looked here, Li Meng suddenly woke up from his trance, and when he saw the situation on the other side, he immediately felt a little big.
No matter how you say this, you are also a little bit of a loser, you are not familiar with the place in this Jiaozhou City, and the other party is overwhelming, and I am really afraid that there will be trouble this time.
"Look at your shabby appearance, can you see the city wall.......
The more the Ding scolded, the more unpleasant it became, Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai had already dropped the salt bag and ran over, and they didn't know what was going on, at this time Li Meng watched the girl say something to the mother-in-law next to her, and the mother-in-law came over and said something to the family, and the scolding suddenly stopped.
The mother-in-law's voice is not small, and Li Meng can also hear it here:
"Miss said, the pedestrians on the side of the road are unintentional, don't scold so ugly, let's go."
The guy stopped talking, but he still said stupidly:
"Thanks to the mercy of our young lady, otherwise you would have suffered from a poor man!"
The girl in the pink bicar skirt got into the carriage, and Li Meng suddenly wanted to take a closer look at the girl, want to say a few words to her, and even breathe in the air around the girl, but it was definitely not appropriate now.
Turning his head and coughing dryly, he scolded Chen Liuzi and Wang Hai, who didn't know what was going on:
"What are you still doing, let's go to the warehouse, don't delay the business."
Jinzhou Warehouse is the largest shop in Jiaozhou City, and the name is obtained from the common saying "Jinjiaozhou", which also means that the wealth is extensive.
The shop of this warehouse is on the street near Xiaobaihe, and many goods are directly entered into Xiaobaihe from the Jiaohe River to be unloaded in the city, which is also convenient. Li Meng and the three of them carried their burdens and walked to the door of the warehouse, and the guys in the warehouse thought that business came to the door, so they were about to come forward to greet them.
The shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter in the store raised his eyes and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and said to the guy at the door of the store:
"Quickly help the guests with their things and let them make tea and prepare snacks."
While politely said:
"Boss Chen, there are many people here at the door, please come with me to the back hall."
