Chapter 335: Threesome
Before leaving, Chaolu also went to the cloth clothes, although it is close to the rainy day, the fabric is not easy to preserve, but the friends of the cloth clothes are very hard, every day knows how to dry, but there is no big problem.
Liu Qing knew that Chaolu was going to leave for a few days to go to Tian'an Town next door, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
"You have to be careful along the way, although it is the town next door, but it is also across the water, if you can't do it, you will come back and not sell it to them."
Liu Qing took Chaolu's hand distressedly, looked up and down, and took out a burden from the inside.
"My mother sewed a thick wool cloak for you, and you brought it carefully." As he spoke, he stuffed it into Chaolu's arms, and Chaolu touched it with his hand.
"I'll go early and come back early, don't worry, mother, I'll go back to the Cloud Pavilion first to see them load." After all, this time you have to go by water, and you must be well prepared, especially waterproof things.
Liu Qing watched Chaolu leave, and then went in to continue to take care of the store. Chaolu was also very worried that she was not careless in the guys to pack the goods, but as soon as she went back, she saw Junzi and them in an orderly manner, carefully tying the oilcloth boy outside the iron box containing gouache.
"Shopkeeper, you came back just now, see how it is, it's all taught to us by Gu Yan." Junzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly beckoned Chaolu to take a look, and didn't forget to praise Gu Yan.
Chao Lu didn't have much surprise when he heard this, as if Gu Yan did it, there was nothing wrong with it and it was unreliable.
"What about Gu Yanren?"
"He went to contact the boatman, and said that when the shopkeeper comes back, we will move things over."
It seems that Gu Yan thought quite thoughtfully, hooked the corners of his mouth to Chaolu, went in to pack his things, and then ordered the others, followed Shunzi with the goods, and went directly to the dock.
The weather was still quite scary at this time, with thick dark clouds, and occasionally a gust or two of wind blowing, lifting the long hair of the morning dew. When Junzi and Chaolu arrived at the dock, they saw that Gu Yan had already negotiated the boatman.
"You're here, get on board, we can be safer while the wind is light."
As soon as Gu Yan saw Chaolu coming, he trotted over, picked up the iron box wrapped in oilcloth, and put it heavily on the boat. As soon as Junko lifted the curtain of the boat, she let Chaolu bend down and sit in.
The person holding the boat was a forty or fifty-year-old uncle, who looked at Chaolu with a smile and said kindly. "Why does the girl take the boat, the weather is not very good these days, is it your husband who is looking for me to support the boat?"
What the?! Chaolu was stunned when he said this, and his eyes were wide open to look at the boatman. "Isn't it? I see that he has arranged everything in detail, and I have pastries and stoves on my boat, and you can see that he prepared them. ”
The boatman came in and took a sip of water, and pointed out all the things on the boat to Chaolu. Chaolu only then noticed that the things on this boat were obviously different from those boats she had been on before, and it was obvious that someone had deliberately prepared them.
"This ......"
Chaolu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to reply. Stammered.
"He, he's not my husband, uncle, you think too much."
Gu Yan, who had just walked in and was about to let the boatman drive the boat, heard this, nodded expressionlessly and admitted that what Chaolu said was true, but when no one saw it, his ears turned red. The boatman didn't think much of it, smiled and turned around and went out to support the boat.
Although neither of them admits that they are husband and wife, the boatman feels that he has been traveling south and north for so many years, and these two people must have a different situation.
After Gu Yan came in, he also sat a little unnaturally opposite Chaolu. The guy Shunko is also very colorful, and he went outside to chat with the boatman.
"I still want to thank you for preparing this." The two were silent for a long time, and Chaolu finally spoke up, breaking the peace.
Gu Yan saw that the things he had secretly prepared were discovered, and he touched his nose unnaturally.
"It's nothing, I can use it, but be careful along the way, the weather outside is really bad."
"Have you ever asked the boatman when you can get to Tian'an Town at the earliest?" Chaolu stuck her head out and glanced at the cloudy sky.
"Don't worry, as long as it's fast, we can get there in an hour, and after we go, we'll stay there for the night and come back tomorrow, so it's safer."
Gu Yan is more prepared, and he has already booked the inn in Tian'an Town. Because in the afternoon, there must be a storm, and the designation cannot be returned on time.
Chao Lu nodded, what Gu Yan said was also right. "By the way, how did you know that Wen Yu?"
Chaolu suddenly thought of Wen Yu's matter, and was very puzzled, how could Gu Yan know the national teacher of the dynasty?
And what is the relationship between these two people? Gu Yan didn't expect that Chaolu would bring up this topic, but he didn't have any defense, frowned and said.
"I've known each other since a long time ago, and I'm an old friend, what's wrong."
Chaolu actually wants to ask, did Gu Yan live in the capital before? But he endured this sentence. After all, everyone has their own secrets and privacy.
"It's nothing, I just think that you and him have different personalities."
Gu Yan is actually calm, but Wen Yan is different, the feeling of being lively and merry is not serious at first glance. Gu Yan couldn't answer for a while, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said.
"When two people are friends together, there will always be similarities."
He and Wen Yu may have ambition in the same place. Chaolu nodded in agreement.
What Gu Yan said is not bad, there must be some places for two people to be friends, and their thoughts and attitudes are the same.
What's more important is to be able to talk, so I will be friends. Junzi was outside, chatting with the boatman without a ride.
"I said, uncle, how many years have you been on a boat here?"
After all, the wrinkles on the boatman's face are very deep, and at first glance, he looks weathered and weathered, and the wind on the river blows like this. The uncle touched his nose embarrassedly and smiled.
"It's been decades, who remembers this time, and I'm also holding boats in other places, but I've been staying here for the past few years."
"By the way, what are you going to do in Tian'an Town?"
Although the boatman promised to pull them over, he never asked about it. Junko gulped down the water in the tea bowl with a big grin.
"The gouache business done by the shopkeeper is going to deliver goods to people."
The two chatted idly, when suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind rose suddenly, blowing the boatman's clothes bulging. The boatman secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted at Junko on the side.
"Tell you shopkeepers, take care of the goods, it's windy at this time, it's very dangerous."
When Junko heard this, she hurried into the cabin. "Shopkeeper, it may be dangerous for a while, you and Gu Yan are done inside, don't come out to watch the goods."
At the moment of speaking, there was already a sporadic light rain outside, and slowly, even turned into a torrential rain, and fell. Hearing this, Chaolu stood up with a spirit.
It seems that I am really afraid of something, and it is very likely that I will not be able to get over today. Gu Yan also walked out of the cabin in three steps and two steps.
Sure enough, it was pouring rain outside, and the river was also swollen. There was also some instability in the ship's fluttering. However, the boatman was very calm and did not panic.
