Steward Lu also casually beckoned a guy next to him, "Sixth, let these two guests sit in your car in a while." ”

The guy called the sixth man looked honest, ran over, looked at the two of them, and said in a sloppy voice, "Okay!" ”

As he spoke, he led the two of them to the car he was in charge of.

Some of the goods were strapped to donkeys or mules, or they were carried by four or five mules.

This kind of rack car is piled with some bulk mountain goods, which are casually packed in bags and placed next to each other.

Leaving only the driving position in front, the sixth man pushed the mountain goods casually, squeezing out two positions, "You guys just sit here!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Mei Xiaotong again, and Chong Mei Changgui Yile, "Brother, your sister is really rich, if you go uphill for a while, you have to ask this old girl to get off the car and take a walk, but when you go downhill, you also ask your sister to sit in the car and press the car for us." ”

There is a bit of ridicule in these words.

Mei Changgui lacked heart, and he could hear that he was laughing at his sister-in-law for being fat.

It's okay to dislike him, he's a big man who is said to be nothing, but he dares to laugh at his sister, that's not good!

Mei Changgui squeezed his fist and was about to step forward to theorize.

Mei Xiaotong grabbed Mei Changgui, there is no need to cause trouble for such a trivial matter, the most important thing now is to go to the county seat to find Mei Chang'an smoothly.

As for this kind of quarrel, she didn't care about it at all.

For a lowly person like Lao Liu, the most appropriate response is not to jump like thunder, but just as he wanted.

Mei Xiaotong smiled slightly, "Fourth brother, you go and ask Brother Lu, this uphill has to push the car, and the downhill has to press the car, can we reduce our fare?" ”

Saying that, Chong Mei Changgui winked.

Before Mei Changgui could react, he heard a voice behind him asking, "What's wrong?" What do you want from me? ”

Turning around, Steward Lu was standing behind him.

The sixth man's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and stepped forward, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm joking with the two guests——"

Steward Lu glanced at the sixth child warningly, and then looked at the brother and sister of Changgui Mei.

Mei Changgui opened his mouth and wanted to say the words of the sixth child, Mei Xiaotong stepped forward, "It's okay, let's laugh." As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Lao Liu.

The sixth child showed gratitude, and made a gesture to the two siblings behind the back of Steward Lu.

Steward Lu knew in his heart, but such a trivial matter could be avoided, if he wasn't afraid of ruining the reputation of the Tianfeng Dart Bureau, he wouldn't have come over to ask more.

Seeing that the matter was settled, I went to check elsewhere.

When the sixth brother saw that Steward Lu was far away, he stretched out his thumb to the two brothers and sisters, "The two are righteous, my sixth brother has nothing else to say, I have it in my heart." ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled.

After a while, the dart team set off, and the brother and sister sat in the car and had a ride with the sixth child

Didn't talk to him.

The sixth person is a mouthful, he doesn't listen to what he says, but he is quite refreshing, and he sees that the two brothers and sisters can be people, and they are familiar with it without two words.

called Mei Xiaotong, just an old girl, and asked Mei Xiaotong to call him the sixth brother.

It wasn't long before the convoy stopped.

Mei Xiaotong was a little suspicious, "Sixth brother, what's wrong?" Why don't you go? ”

The sixth threw his whip casually, "I guess someone wants to go with our dart team again." "They have seen a lot of this kind of thing, and from time to time people will join the team on the road, pay some money, and be brave.

They are also very happy, this mountain road passes through the mountains, this road has always been peaceful, but it is not a bad thing to have a lot of people, strengthen each other's courage, help each other, and charge some money to subsidize the brothers.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Steward Lu to bring someone over, and from a distance, Mei Xiaotong recognized it, wasn't that An Huahao? What is he doing here? Also go to the county seat?

An Huahao saw Mei Changgui's brother and sister and nodded, "You also go to the county seat?" ”

Seeing that they knew each other, Steward Lu was more relieved, and explained to the sixth child, and went to the front to lead the way.

An Huahao got into the car, and Mei Changgui hurriedly made room for him, and asked, "What a coincidence, you also go to the county seat?" Why didn't you say it sooner, or we could have to-"

The latter words were pinched back into Mei Xiaotong's throat.

The money has been paid, don't you offend people by saying this?

She knew what Mei Changgui meant, it was a group of three people, which could save one person ten dollars.

An Huahao looked a little tired, and sat between Mei Changgui and Mei Xiaotong, as if he was a little uncomfortable because the distance was too close.

He pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

Mei Xiaotong glanced at him, I don't know if this is a coincidence or what, but I think An Huahao has no ill will towards the Mei family now, right?

So no matter what he does in the county, he doesn't have to ask, as long as he doesn't delay his own affairs.

Seeing the cyan color under An Huahao's eyebrows, she still lowered her voice and inquired about the situation in the county.

The sixth child is a person who likes to talk to him, there is a girl who talks to him, not to mention that although this girl is richer, but her eyebrows and eyes are good-looking, compared with the big girls and small daughters-in-law he often sees, there is an indescribable good-looking, he is a rough person, I can't describe it, but it's pleasing to the eye.

Especially this girl is generous and polite, so as long as you ask, as long as you know, you know everything.

It didn't take long for this journey to go, and Mei Xiaotong had already roughly explored the situation in the county.

The county seat is called Jing County, which is a mountain city, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the water on one side, because there is water and a wharf, so the traffic is quite convenient and prosperous.

Because there was a great Confucian surnamed Lu Changqing in the county a hundred years ago, he studied and studied here

The atmosphere of the question was very strong.

There is a academy in the suburbs outside the city, called Evergreen Academy, which has attracted many students from nearby counties to come to study.

This evergreen academy is said to be founded by the road of evergreen Confucianism in his later years, although it is only a hundred years, it is already one of the most famous academies in the country.

I heard that there are many students from other places in the provincial capital or the capital who come all the way to study.

Because of Evergreen Academy, there are many private schools or academies outside the city, and many students whose family conditions are not very good will substitute teach these private schools and colleges on weekdays to earn a little living expenses.

Because there are so many students, many of whom have their families, there are many houses near the college that are rented for these students and their families for a long time.

Slowly, the vicinity of this academy is not a little less lively and prosperous than the county seat.

Mei Xiaotong had a number in her heart, thinking that Mei Chang'an's family should live in a long-term rented or bought house near the academy.

After asking what she wanted to know, Mei Xiaotong asked some more about the Tianfeng Dart Bureau escorting mountain goods.

This big black mountain stretches for I don't know how many miles, feeding the residents who live on the edge of this mountain range, most of them rely on the fields to eat, and there are also those who are bold or forced by life to be helpless, and in spring and autumn every year, they go into the mountains to find mountain goods.

Then sell it to some merchants, and the merchants and others purchased the mountain goods, and then used the dart bureau to consign them to the county seat, and went south by waterway, and sent these mountain goods to all parts of the country.

Tianfeng Dart Bureau was originally the dart bureau of the provincial capital, because of seeing this business opportunity, it set up a branch in Jing County, and set up a branch in the following slightly prosperous towns, relying on escorting these merchants and mountain goods, not only made money, but also made a lot of reputation.

For Mei Xiaotong, she has almost no understanding of this time and space except for Lingshan Village, so these news are very important to her.

Along the way, Mei Xiaotong pretended to be ignorant and never went out to yearn for the village girl outside, she was interested in everything, and she had to ask everything, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the sixth child as a man.

Mei Changgui has something in his heart, in this rickety car, he can't sleep, he can't interject what his little sister said to the sixth child, he can't interject, he has been walking for a long time, there is nothing to see all the way, except for the mountain, it is the mountain, it is really boring to watch.

So he nudged An Huahao, "Brother Song, what are you doing in the county seat?" ”

An Huahao opened his eyes and glanced at him, "Find someone!" ”

"You're going to find someone too? Who to look for? Mei Changgui finally raised his spirit.

When Mei Xiaotong heard this, she turned her head and glanced at An Huahao, just in front of his dark eyes, and Mei Xiaotong was stunned.

An Huahao closed his eyes again.

Mei Xiao

Tong was going to ask the sixth child again to inquire about the outside world, but he saw the team in front of him slowly stop.

The sixth child is experienced and often walks this road, reminding him to "It's going uphill, let's all come down!" ”

Jumping out of the car as he spoke.

Mei Xiaotong and the three of them also jumped down,

I saw the front, and sure enough, a winding steep slope appeared in front of me.

The front of the team has begun to climb up slowly, and the sixth child is slowly moving forward while driving the frame car, and at the same time he turns around and greets, "Two big brothers, one will work hard, and two will work hard!" ”

An Huahao didn't speak, and Mei Changgui nodded briskly.

The slope was long and steep, and it was very difficult for two mules to pull the cart up in one go, so there were two men next to each cart, who had to push one at any time, and at the end, they had to push the cart to the top of the slope in one go.

It's no wonder that the Tianfeng Dart Bureau only charges ten cents and includes lunch, which is really a hard work.

At the beginning of the uphill slope, the mule can still be pulled, the more uphill, the more laborious the mule, the slower and slower the speed, occasionally there is a foot slip, the person next to him has to hold the car, do not let the car slide, otherwise it is a car wrecked mule injury.

Mei Xiaotong was naturally embarrassed to stand up, took a step forward, just rolled up her sleeves, and was An Huahao

One step forward, blocking in front of her, "Put your sleeves down!" ”

"What?" Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, looking at the wrist that she had exposed that she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, well, it seemed to be white, plus the effect of the beauty and shaping clothes, it looked like the wrist was white and tender, and the flesh was tooping.

"I don't need your help, just follow aside!" An Huahao glared at Mei Xiaotong, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.

This woman, what's the matter? In front of the public, he actually exposed his arms like this, how could it be good if other people saw it?

While being annoyed in his heart, he couldn't control his eyes from glancing at the snow white.

In the past, he only thought that Mei Xiaotong was obese, although he didn't work in the field on weekdays and was raised at home by Mrs. Li, but he didn't know why, his face was still tanned and fat.

Now that I looked at this wrist, I realized that her body was actually white, and it was so dazzling!

Thinking of this, An Huahao quickly shook his head and shook out the dirty thoughts he had just now.

Mei Xiaotong looked around, then looked at An Huahao's attitude that could not be refused, thought about it, put down her sleeves, and stood aside honestly.

Anyway, with An Huahao and Mei Changgui, she doesn't need to make a move if she wants to, so she doesn't want to be so strong, and she is not a masochist, of course she can't work if she doesn't work.
