Chapter 35: Goodbye, Rugao
At this time, Sun Yuan knew that the short man's surname was Zhou, and his name was Wu; Gao's surname is Jiang Ming Thirteen.
The two of them were dressed in a black jacket, with a square scarf on their heads, each carrying a water and fire stick in their hands, and a waist knife hanging on their waists, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.
When I saw Sun Yuan this time, it can be said that I was an enemy, and I was very red-eyed.
The two of them didn't come to salute, so they sat on the side of the boat, one hand touched the handle of the knife from time to time, and stared at Sun Yuan deadly, with a fierce light in their eyes.
Sun Yuan is naturally not afraid, he will not take this kind of villain to heart at all. Whether it is martial arts or resourcefulness, these two little miscellaneous fish are not enough to become their opponents.
It's just that this time there are suddenly three more people on the boat, Mao Cheng, Zhou, and Jiang, it's really lively!
Don't think about it, these three people must have been sent by Lei Tai to spy on my Sun Yuan.
……
At this moment, in the private room of a small tea shop by the dock, Lei Tai looked coldly at the chaotic grain team, without a trace of emotion on his face.
Mao Cheng stood aside respectfully and listened to him.
In fact, Lei Tai was sneering in his heart: This Sun Yuan, it is also in vain for me Lei Tai to look down on you, with just a splash of skin and a good hand, he actually entered the eyes of the county respect, and raised his noble hand to let people pass the county test. I thought you were also a talent, so I set up such a bureau.
But if you don't want to, you can just write a few words. The grain team of only 100 people can't control it. I, Lei Tai, set up this game, and I will inevitably lift you up.
"How?" Raytai withdrew his gaze from the docks.
"Lord Bo, it's all ready." Mao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The two brothers Zhou and Jiang are our own people, so let's not talk about it. The other two are all pretending to be my family, no matter what I do in the future, they will pretend to be invisible. As for the hundred people, I have already let out the wind, saying that this time I will go to Fengyang Sun Liangchang will definitely not treat everyone badly. Along the way, even if you eat it with an open stomach, you have to see a meal of meat every five days. Hehe, when you get to Fengyang, these 100 or so big-bellied men can eat Sun Liangchang just by eating. ”
Mao Cheng laughed and deliberately bit the word "Sun Liangchang" very important: "I have already put this word out, and Sun Liangchang will not regret it if he wants to." The people are all villagers from Quanshuitai, but they are all elders surnamed Sun, and he dares to say a word of nonsense, and he can't help but scold. For him, the grain chief, the younger generation is fine, but there is no prestige in the hearts of the old man. ”
"Well done." Lei Tai nodded expressionlessly: "However, the meat will be exempted." ”
"Why?" Mao Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Lei Tai sneered: "I don't see the food of the meat people. ”
"Lord Bo is really clever."
"And ......" Lei Tai pondered for a moment: "This time I went to Fengyang, the deficit surnamed Sun must be indispensable, you and Zhou and Jiang need to keep an eye on that Sun Yuan at all times, and urge him to return to Rugao as soon as possible, so as to prevent him from escaping." ”
"Don't worry, the Lord Bo can save money."
"Go ahead, it's time to sail." Retai waved his hand.
……
"Chief Sun Liang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late." Mao Cheng deliberately pretended to be out of breath and ran onto Sun Yuan's grain boat, stomping his feet and rubbing his hands uncontrollably: "This thief, God, it's really cold, this person refuses to come out as soon as he enters the hot quilt, so you have to wait for a long time, but you can delay it?" ”
Although Sun Yuan was disgusted with him, he said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's a long way to Fengyang, and I'm not in a hurry for this moment." Yes, the sky is really a little cold, this time to escort the autumn grain, is my first errand to handle the government, and the first time to go far away, but a little Zhanger King Kong is confused. ”
Speaking of this, he said sincerely: "Baozheng, we are originally from the same place, and you are an old man who is used to walking on the scene, if there is something along the way, please give me more advice." ”
Seeing Sun Yuan's respectful face, and in front of so many villagers, Mao Cheng was very proud in his heart, and he didn't feel a little fluttering: "That's, who am I pretending to be, the wife and brother of Xiao Xianzun, entering the yamen is like entering and leaving the house." In previous years, I did an errand for the government, and I don't know how many trips I have made in Nanjing and Yangzhou, if you don't understand something, just ask. The vigilance against Sun Yuan in his heart was lowered by three points.
Seeing Mao Cheng's triumphant appearance, Sun Yuan said in his heart: This guy is just a fool, and he can't find the north if he sends a high hat over. This time I went to Fengyang, and I had to be a low-key person all the way. After passing this level, I will return to Rugao in the future, and I will slowly deal with these three villains.
"Sun Yuan, it's time to go, the boat leaves early, let's go into the cabin early to make up for a nap, who is impatient to accompany you to drink the northwest wind on the water as soon as you arrive?" The short servant Zhou Wu shouted, and his voice was very unkind.
The tall servant also scolded: "That's it, Sun Yuan, you want to dry yourself as a ham, wait for your eyes to close your legs and kick your legs, and put some salt on your body to hang grain, don't freeze grandpa!" ”
Sun Yuan couldn't help but grit his teeth, anger rose in his heart, he turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and said lightly: "I still have to wait for a few people, don't worry." ”
I was thinking in my heart, these three people were too hateful. Hehe, when the grain ship arrives in Fengyang, it is already a big year. By that time, the place was full of war. simply didn't do it, and I did these three people endlessly. Anyway, when the newspaper arrives, it will be enough to report that one person died in a military disaster.
As soon as his mind moved, there was a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Zhou and Jiang had suffered from Sun Yuan, and when they were forced by his gaze, their hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but take a step back.
Mao Cheng didn't find anything wrong with the situation, he was complimented by Sun Yuan just now, his heart was refreshed, and he said: "Zhou Wu, Jiang Shisan, if you are cold, you can go to the cabin to warm up and ease your body, here I am!" ”
Only then did Sun Yuan put away the sharp edge in his eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "Two brothers Zhou and Jiang, there is already a fire in the cabin, and the wine has been warmed, why don't you go down and eat a few glasses first." When the boat started, I came down to accompany him. ”
"Who wants to eat your wine, eat your mother's fart, and be a grandfather who begs for food?" Zhou Wu hated Sun Yuan deeply, and scolded him.
Sun Yuan couldn't hold it anymore, and chuckled: "I am the grain chief, I say when I will send the ship, I will send the ship when I want, since the year of Hongwu, the post of grain chief has been held by the local gentry." The car and boat shop should be killed if you are not guilty, when will it be your turn to give orders? ”
"Yo, you're still a gentleman, don't think that you know two words and want to be a scholar. I'm just a child! Zhou Wu continued to scold: "Grandpa is going to give orders today, what can you do?" ”
Sun Yuan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when his mother's figure suddenly appeared on the dock: "Yuan'er, Yuan'er." ”
"Mother, you are finally here, my son is going to Fengyang today, and yesterday I asked someone to bring a letter home, and I guess you want to come over." Sun Yuan hurriedly jumped off the boat, grabbed his mother's rough hands, and secretly stuffed a piece of gold: "Mother, my son went to Fengyang this time, if he returns safely, it will naturally be good." If there is a ...... Mother, you have to take care of your health. ”
This ingot of gold, which he had exchanged yesterday at a money shop in the city, weighed about ten taels. It was Sun Yuan who sold the harvest of official grain during this time, and he didn't go home for two days in order to escort the autumn grain. This time going to Fengyang is a big gamble, if you win, at least you can mix with the upper middle class. But this gambling is extremely dangerous, and if one is not good, it is very likely that you will lose yourself. With these ten taels of gold, at least the mother's livelihood can be guaranteed for the rest of her life.
Sun Li didn't expect his son to say such a thing, and shouted in surprise: "Yuan'er, what are you hiding from your mother, what can happen to you now that you are a good grain chief?" ”
"It's okay, mother, don't worry." Sun Yuan patted the back of her hand lightly and said with a smile: "It was my son who was talking in a daze just now. This is the first time for my son to go out so far, and he is inevitably a little worried in his heart, so he said bastard words, which makes your mother worry. ”
"I see." Sun Li was originally an ordinary peasant woman with little knowledge, and as soon as she was deceived by Sun Yuan's words, she believed it: "Yes, the first time I went out of the house, the road was not very peaceful, which made people feel uneasy." Cough! Probably realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Sun Li hurriedly comforted Sun Yuan: "Actually, it's nothing, you see that this boat is full of fellow villagers from the same village, and they will take care of you along the way." Also, there are fake Baozheng and officials on the ship, who dares to provoke them? ”
Sun Yuan: "Mother, you are right. ”
Sun Li looked at the gold in his hand, was startled, and said in a low voice: "This is gold." ”
Sun Yuan smiled deliberately: "Yes, it's real gold, mother take it home and hide it, and let people see it carefully." ”
"Yes, yes, the wealth is not exposed, and the mother has to take care of your belongings for you. When you come back after completing your errands, my mother will ask someone to tell you about your family, and our Sun family will see hope this time. Sun Li hurriedly hid the gold in his arms, and didn't care about talking to his son more, so he hurriedly left the dock.
"Family affairs...... Let's talk about it later, since I crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, I, Su Mudu, have been stumbling in difficulties and obstacles, and I must be very careful with every step. It can be said that there is a bad line, and there is an abyss below, where is the mind to have children? Seeing off his mother, Sun Yuan got on the boat and politely said to the boat boss: "Let's start the boat!" ”
One after another, the tattered sails were raised, and the grain ships with heavy drafts groaned and slowly shored.
The wind was still very strong, stirring up a cold mist on the surface of the river, which was bitterly cold. But with such a strong wind, the ship moved extremely fast. After a while, Rugao slowly disappeared on the horizon, and only a rare white pagoda loomed in the distance.
Sun Yuan smiled and lay on the side of the boat to watch the scenery gradually move away, but his fingers were tightly clasped on the side of the boat.
The bet began, Rugao, if my grandson Yuan lives a great fortune to survive this catastrophe. When I see you again, it's a different story.
