"Childe said with a smile, my master is a law-abiding and good citizen, how could he do that bandit?" Jingshuang smiled and said to the purple-clothed boy: "If the boy thinks that our boat is not worth a hundred taels of silver, you can find another boat that you think is a fair price to swim in the lake." ”

Usually swim in the lake, rent a boat only a few dozen copper plates, if it is a high-grade painting boat, plus tea, wine and food, it will be a few taels of silver to die, and Jingshuang will ask for a hundred taels of boat rent, anyone will feel that it is a lion's big mouth.

At this time, the ink-clothed gentleman, who had not spoken, spoke, "Just looking at the hull of this copper pear fragrant wood, the rent of this hundred taels is not too much." As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels of silver from his bosom and threw it towards Jingshuang in the wind.

"Copper pear fragrant wood" is an extremely precious wood, its hardness is extremely high, comparable to copper and iron, but the weight is not very heavy, it is a very suitable material for shipbuilding, and this wood has a faint pear blossom fragrance, a hundred years will not disperse, has the effect of refreshing the mind, but the growth conditions of this tree are harsh, and the timber is slow, but it is difficult to buy wood with money.

I didn't expect to encounter such a painting boat made of copper pear fragrant wood on the small lake outside this rural town, which is really strange!

The purple-clothed young man listened to the words of the black-shirted boy, and his face couldn't help but show a little surprise, his eyes widened, and he looked at the hull carefully.

"This boy has good eyesight." Jingshuang said with a smile and reached out to take the silver ticket floating in the wind.

The paper of the silver ticket was very light, but it was coming to the wind, obviously with internal force, but Jingshuang didn't seem to notice it, and the face did not change color.

Seeing this, the purple-clothed young man squinted, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

The expression of the boy in ink remained unchanged, but he hooked the corners of his lips, and he didn't think that a little maid was also a practitioner, and he didn't know what kind of character the owner of this ship was......

Jingshuang instructed the two sailors, "Put the deck and ask Childe to come on board." ”

The six masters and servants boarded the painting boat, and Jingshuang led the two sons to sit down in the outer room separated by the screen, and then retreated to the side in a proper manner, and said nothing more.

The four guards consciously stood in a row behind the two sons, all glaring at Jingshuang, very dissatisfied with this girl's behavior of neglecting her master, but the master did not speak, and it was inconvenient for them to open their mouths to scold.

The ink-clothed man looked at the cabin without a trace, and saw that although the design and furnishings were not gorgeous, they were very elegant and comfortable, and the items used in the cabin were full of low-key luxury, and he could see that the owner was a person who had great taste and knew how to enjoy it, so he not only nodded secretly.

Chong said behind the screen: "When my brothers saw the beautiful scenery here, they wanted to board a boat for a tour, but they disturbed the master's house, and they really didn't want to go. ”

Inside the screen, Cen Xiyan replied lazily: "Since the son has already paid the rent, you don't have to be polite, please take care of yourself." There was no follow-up, and there was no intention of coming out to entertain guests.

Hearing the melodious voice of a woman coming from behind the screen, the six masters and servants were all stunned, unexpectedly that the owner of this painting boat was actually a young woman!

The ink-clothed boy raised his eyebrows even more, looking at the atmospheric and calm design of this painting boat, he also thought that the owner was a low-key man, but he knew how to enjoy it.

"Hey! Do you know how to be hospitable? What about tea? The purple-clothed young man was very dissatisfied with Cen Xiyan's casual attitude, and even more dissatisfied with her maid's sluggish appearance, and knocked on the table.

"This son, it seems that you just rented our painting boat to swim in the lake, and you are not a guest invited by my young lady, right?" Yingxue couldn't get used to the arrogant attitude of the purple-clothed young man, so she walked out from behind the screen and pouted.

"It's you again, girl, I don't know what kind of master you are, you actually trained such an unruly subordinate!" The purple-clothed young man snorted.

"This girl is spoiled by the little woman, she doesn't know how to speak, and I ask the son not to be like a girl." Without waiting for Yingxue to speak again, Cen Xiyan's very insincere apology came from inside the screen, and he pushed the purple-clothed young man back, neither soft nor hard.

The young man in purple didn't care about anything anymore, so he snorted and stopped talking.

Cen Xiyan instructed Jingshuang again: "Jingshuang, treat the guests well for me." ”

"Yes, miss." Jingshuang agreed, and then said to the two sons with a smile: "If the prince wants to drink tea, of course he can, but he needs to pay another three hundred taels of silver." ”

"What?!" The purple-clothed young man suspected that he had misheard, "Three hundred taels? Gratuity?? ”
