Chapter 408 A Lot of Beggars?
On this trip, Qiao Su and Qin Shen didn't just bring Wang Baiyu, they also brought the little monkey, that is, the little beggar who saw Niu Ruoshui doing tricks and feet in their takeaway.
Of course, now the little monkey is no longer called the little monkey, he officially changed his name to Hou Chen, which is the name given to him by Qin Shen, Chen is the morning, it is the sun...... The little monkey loves the name!
Wang Baiyu and Hou Chen both like to be lively, one is not big, and the other is a child, so the two of them are very able to play together.
Qiao Su and Qin Shen are both people who like to be quiet, so the two of them usually hide in my cabin and read.
This time, in order not to be bored, Qiao Su specially bought some health recipes in the bookstore, although most of them are known to her, but there will be occasional surprises.
Qin Shen was also reading a book, and he was reading a secretary about geography.
Wang Baiyu and Hou Chen often can't see people, and they probably don't know where to play on the boat.
"How long will it take to dock?" Qiao Su put down the book in his hand and looked up at Qin Shen.
Qin Shen left the chair, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Qiao Su with a smile: "It won't take half an hour, you should be in Cloud City, are you bored?" ”
"It's not boring, it's really not about eating on this boat." Ancient ships were so slow! The rooms on the ship are neatly tidied up, and there is nothing inconvenient about life on weekdays, but the food is a bit indescribable.
Qiao Su looked at the fruit bowl on the boat, "The fruit is quite fresh, and there are sweets and snacks, but I like to eat hot dishes!" ”
Qin Shen chuckled, "Do you think the things made by the cook on the ship are too unpalatable?" ”
How could there be no cooks on such a two-story ship? Since there is a cook, there are naturally hot dishes!
It's just that Qiao Su is a cook herself, so she is naturally a little picky about dishes.
In fact, Qin Shen and Wang Baiyu didn't like to eat the food on the ship, and their mouths were all raised by Qiao Su.
It's Hou Chen, because he has been living a precarious life before, so he is naturally very satisfied with today's life.
Because Qiao Su has no way to cook here, Qiao Su will tell Wang Baiyu and Hou Chen about the combination of dishes, as well as the use and identification of condiments at a fixed time every day.
Sometimes she will tell them the right and wrong of the recipes in those health books.
What about Qin Shen? Just like when he taught Zhao Guang and them, he would give Hou Chen some allusions after dinner and teach Hou Chen to write.
Hou Chen felt like he was dreaming happily every day, and even every day he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and prayed...... If it's a dream, then let him not wake up.
"Master, Master!" Hou Chen ran to the cabin in a hurry.
Qiao Su beckoned to him, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, "Although the weather is warm, the wind on the boat is still a little strong, you have to be careful not to catch a cold." ”
"Got it, Master." Hou Chen nodded obediently.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me and Ah Shen? Josu asked with a smile.
"The ship is coming to shore! Senior Sister asked me to talk to my master and master. Hou Chen said with bent eyes.
"Got it!" Qiao Su reached out and patted Hou Chen's head.
She likes this little boy very much, because in him, she can always show their shadows.
Qiao Su hopes that Hou Chen can grow up peacefully and live a happy life.
"Shall we disembark here?" Qiao Su looked at Qin Shen.
"Actually, you can. We disembark here, and if you want to go to Shunzhou, you can hire a horse-drawn carriage. Qin Shen stood up and began to pack up their things.
Hou Chen went over to help with a very discerning look, "Master, I'll come!" ”
"Good!" Qin Shen rubbed Hou Chen's head and let Hou Chen do things.
Qin Shen and Qiao Su both understood that the way to let Hou Chen quickly integrate into their lives was to let Hou Chen do things, if they were always polite to Hou Chen, Hou Chen would also be uneasy.
"But we bought a ticket to Shunzhou, right?" Josu asked.
Qin Shen shook his head, "Not really." Because you said you were looking for new ingredients along the way, I bought my ferry ticket to Cloud City. This ship will stay in Cloud City for a day, if we want to come up and take the boat to Shunzhou again, we just need to give Qi the rest of the money before getting off the ship. ”
"I see! Then let's go to Cloud City first! Qiao Su stuffed all the books around him into his bag and carried them directly on his body, without Qin Shen's help.
Hou Chen even had a small bag of his own, which contained the clothes that Uncle Zhao gave him.
As for Qin Shen...... Naturally, it's going to take the big guy! Their heavyweight hearts were all carried by Qin Shen.
Wang Baiyu also quickly packed up his things and came over, "Master, Master, there are many people outside." ”
"A lot of people? Are you waiting for a boat? Josu asked.
Wang Baiyu shook his head, "No! It looks like a beggar. ”
"Beggars?" Hou Chen frowned, "Senior sister is wrong!" Even if the beggars are begging, they will not all be concentrated in the docks! ”
Hou Chen turned out to be a little beggar, so he naturally knew that there were rules in the beggar. It's like a prosperous place where it's easy to get money, so naturally you have to be a powerful beggar to go, like a place like a wharf, once a boat arrives, there will definitely be big beggars with small beggars coming to squat, but there won't be many. Because as soon as there are more beggars, the people will be disgusted, and if something happens again, it is possible to report to the official and let the official come and arrest them.
So Wang Baiyu said that there are many beggars...... Hou Chen subconsciously refuted.
"Hou Chen is right. Even if there are beggars, how can there be many? Qiao Su said suspiciously.
"That's a lot! Many, much more! They were all in rags, and if they were not beggars, who were they? ”
"Ragged?" Qiao Su looked at Qin Shen.
Qin Shen frowned, "We'll see it when we get off the boat." ”
"Yes." Qiao Su nodded, "Put everything away, don't take advantage of the chaos to be stolen." Where it's too messy, there are many thieves. ”
"Master, don't worry! My money bag is all close to me! Wang Baiyu said with a big grin.
Hou Chen only had clothes on him, no money, but he was worried that someone would steal his new clothes, so he was very smart to get his bags to his chest.
Soon the boatman's greeting was heard, and it seemed that it had arrived.
Qin Shen held Qiao Su, "Stand firm." ”
"Uh-huh." Qiao Su looked at Wang Baiyu, "You are optimistic about Hou Chen, don't get separated." ”
"Don't worry, Master, can I still lose my little junior brother?" Wang Baiyu said with a tight nose.
