Chapter 376: Stewardship
"Zhang Qing!" The girl's voice was a little shrill, and she walked quickly to the carriage, and she climbed up without caring that the people in the carriage had not yet poked their heads out, and leaned less, and dragged down a young man with a messy chicken coop on his head, and a dazed look on his face.
The young man was dragged out by her, because it was too sudden, he staggered for a while before he stood still, and his facial features were almost crowded together and looked over: "Hongguo'er, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Hongguo'er glared at him fiercely, stomped his feet, and every time he came to look for him, he always said this, this is probably the legendary incomprehensible style! She thought about the description in the book of words she saw, and said in her heart.
But the teenager doesn't understand the entanglement in the girl's heart, and the people next to him don't mean that they don't understand.
The servant with good deeds squeezed his eyes at Hongguo'er: "Hey, this kid is still young!" I don't understand the amorous feelings! ”
A servant haha, "Where is it small?" ”
The servants in this group of caravans had already been thick-skinned, and they didn't care about gossiping in front of the public.
No matter how Hongguo'er is still a girl, the girl has her heart and cheeks, but she can't understand this kind of meat, she just frowned when she heard the words, stared at the young man in front of her from top to bottom, and nodded: "It's indeed a little thin!" ”
The two servants who were chattering on the side couldn't help laughing any longer.
Hongguo'er didn't understand such meat words, and she didn't know why they were laughing, she just stomped her feet, looked at Zhang Qing opposite, and snorted.
Wei Yaoqing, who is a teenager named Zhang Qing, is only a half-grown teenager at the moment, of course she can't understand this kind of meat, and if she does, she pretends not to understand, she is not a real man, and she doesn't understand what men have to worry about in this matter. So this kind of meat talk seems to her to be very boring.
The caravan had been on its way since that day when two wagons had come in, and the weather had been fine for the past few days, and the caravan had gone fast, stopping every other section of the road to replenish water near the water source, so that the horses could rest and rest and continue on their journey.
With such a hurry, there is naturally no extra time to go to the roadside shops and post stations, and after a few days of dry food and water to eat, in the words of the green forest hero, "the bird is about to fade out of the mouth." ”
Dry buns with water in the morning, dry flatbreads with water at noon, and half buns and half flatbreads with water in the evening. The thought of what was in their mouths turned sallow everyone's faces.
Someone pulled out a few sticks of grass and chewed them in their mouths, and Wei Yaoqing also pulled out two and handed one to Hongguo'er by the way.
The grass doesn't taste so good, but it's a rare taste in the mouth these days.
Wei Yaoqing chewed one after another, and sighed secretly: It's really depraved, I was originally happy without meat, but now I feel delicious when I eat grass.
"Zhang Qing!" Hongguo'er on the side grabbed one of his arms and shook it, and when she saw her looking back, she let go of her hand, snorted, and turned her head to look aside, but this turn of her head was not very thorough, and the girl turned her head while secretly glancing at her from time to time.
Why is this? Wei Yaoqing was puzzled, it stands to reason that she is also a woman, she should be able to understand her, but sometimes she really doesn't understand. Why is it inexplicably petty.
"You will be able to enter the city in two days, and you will ...... then" The girl suddenly twisted and pinched, unconsciously clutching the ends of her hair in her hands.
"It's raining." Wei Yaoqing suddenly interrupted her words, raised her hand and noticed that there were raindrops falling on her head, so she quickly got up and walked towards the convoy. She's disguised now, and she must not let the rain fall.
The two servants who had just spoken laughed, "The kid doesn't understand the amorous feelings."
Hongguo'er angrily turned her head and followed, and when she passed by Zhang Qing's carriage, she still couldn't hold back, lifted the curtain, glared at the young man fiercely, and then turned around and jumped out of the carriage.
Wei Yaoqing, who was sitting in the carriage and received a slap in the eye, breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Girls are really troublesome!" "She's never done anything like that. After a pause, his hand touched the old umbrella beside him. Strictly speaking, this is one of her old things when she was Zhang Mingzhu.
There are a lot of things in the handle of the umbrella that has been opened, sealed with wax, but more importantly, this umbrella. In the cramped space, she opened the umbrella, both the umbrella bone and the umbrella surface looked like an oil-paper umbrella that had been used for a long time, looking ordinary.
It's just that...... She spun around with the handle of the umbrella. "Bang" a soft sound, the original look ordinary oil-paper umbrella immediately changed, the interlayer in the umbrella bone is a row of thin iron sheets, each umbrella bone hides a fan-shaped iron surface, such a soft sound, all the umbrella bones hidden in the iron surface are linked to each other, the oil-paper umbrella instantly becomes an impermeable shield.
The handle of the umbrella turned again, and there was another soft "click", and a row of sharp iron thorns several inches long emerged from the bones of the umbrella, emitting a seeping luster. The handle of the umbrella swayed slightly in her hand, and it seemed that it could still be rotated, but she did not continue, but turned it back twice, and restored it to its original state.
It was rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was about to enter the border, and the merchants in the caravan checked the rain cloth on the truck, and after finding out that there was no problem, they set off again.
The steward of the caravan, who was Hongguo'er's uncle, was about thirty years old, not tall, not short, neither fat nor thin, and his appearance was so ordinary that few people would look at him when he walked on the road. But along the way, this seemingly ordinary steward was able to make all kinds of people in the caravan, whether merchants or servants, obey him without objection, and never seem to have gone wrong along the way.
It's not an ordinary person, Wei Yaoqing said with emotion. In the past few days, through Hong Guo'er's description, she also learned that this seemingly ordinary steward, but he is now the number one person in the Lu Shang Gang.
It's not easy! At least dare to put those two truckloads of things in front of her, an outsider who doesn't know the bottom line, this guts is far from comparable to ordinary people.
The contents of the two wagons were personally inspected by the steward, and the tarpaulin was also placed by him, which shows that he attached great importance to the things of these two wagons, and even did not hide his importance, but no one in the entire caravan dared to sneak close to the caravan. She should naturally do the same, taking in a teenager who has no curiosity is not a matter of concern to the steward, but if the teenager is curious, it is difficult to say.
After the inspection was done, the steward took a coat, walked to her carriage, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and then when she lifted the curtain, he threw the coat in, and looked at her: "You don't go out for a walk in this life, and you don't feel bored when you stay in the carriage all day?" ”
Wei Yaoqing replied: "I have to be taken in by the steward, so I naturally have to take care of the things in my own carriage." ”
The steward laughed twice, and his expression softened a lot: "I want to listen to the truth." ”
After being silent for a while, Wei Yaoqing replied honestly: "I'm lazy." ”
He was indeed lazy, and he was often lazy in the work assigned to the young man, staying in the carriage and dozing off.
It's honest! After laughing, the steward looked at her and said, "Who dares to move the goods in my caravan?" ”
"Then take care of things, I'll ......" Wei Yaoqing took the robe, "I won't be lazy next time." ”
"Where did I get the kung fu, I don't care if you're lazy or not?" The steward said, his eyes turned around, as if he was paying attention to the movements around him and seemed to be paying attention to someone, and said as he looked, "Since you are lazy, you don't have to do the original work, you only need to help me do one thing." ”
"What's the matter?" Wei Yaoqing looked at him with some surprise.
The steward said, "The things on the two trucks in front of you have been handed over to you for your care." With that, he picked up the trumpet in his hand and blew it, and the caravan was about to depart.
The convoy walked up leisurely, Wei Yaoqing still maintained her original posture, but after a while, she smiled: This is really interesting. knew that she was lazy, and told her where she got the kung fu to care if she was lazy, but asked her to help watch the things on the two trucks.
Such contradictory words only told her one thing: the contents of the two trucks might be lost, so let her turn a blind eye and leave it alone. And seeing the way he looked around before, he seemed to be careful about someone. 2k reading web
