Chapter 32: Pond Fish

"It's nothing right now." Yushu's expression was gloomy.

"And what about after that?" Zhou Rui asked. Yushu didn't answer, and bypassed him into the back cabin. Zhou Rui was just about to catch up, when Chen Yanfeng's cool voice came from behind him: "It's nothing in the future, it's just early death." ”

Zhou Rui hurriedly turned around, Chen Yanfeng put his hands behind his back and looked at him slightly, "I'm here to ask you about your future plans." Miss Li plans to go to the capital first, and then take a look around at will, and I plan to accompany her to walk around, and when she dies, bury her. We stopped when we wanted to along the way, and we walked as much as we wanted, without any purpose. You are a person with hatred and hatred, and it is not appropriate to follow us again. ”

"What is Miss Li's disease?" Zhou Rui was torn apart by Chen Yanfeng's words.

"I don't know, checkmate." Chen Yanfeng replied casually, but his face was very gloomy, "Everyone dies, she sees it very openly, you don't have to worry." Rush to the dock of Zhoujiacun this evening, you can get off the boat, I don't have much silver, these ten taels of silver are for you, and in the future, you can do it yourself. ”

"I'll go to the capital too." Zhou Rui's decision was extremely fast.

"We don't necessarily go directly to the capital, if Miss Li's mind changes, then we won't go to the capital. You're not like us, think of your big brother. Chen Yanfeng frowned slightly, looking at Zhou Rui with a little disgust, the Zhou family is all the same, impulsive and ignorant of practice.

"When Miss Li's mind changes, I will go to the capital by myself." Zhou Rui's eyelids drooped slightly, and his attitude was submissive.

Chen Yanfeng's brows furrowed even tighter, stared at Zhou Rui obliquely for a moment, hummed paradoxically, and turned into the cabin.

Zhou Rui slowly raised his head, looked up at the changing clouds above his head, and the sadness in his heart spread from the inside out, permeating his whole body.

Li Yanhan shrank on the couch and discussed with Chen Yanfeng, "Even if it's not as warm as Pei Qing's boat, can't it be cold like this?" Let's make a stove, it's too cold. ”

"What does a raw stove burn? If you burn wood, and you keep burning it all day, how much wood will you get? As far as our ship is concerned, the empty space is full of wood, and it may not be enough for you to open it for a day, besides, when the wood is burned, there will be smoke, and if there is smoke, you have to open the window, and once the window is opened, will it be burned in vain? ”

Chen Yanfeng's words made Li Yan a little discouraged, "Pei Qing's boat is also burning wood?" ”

"It's not wood, it's charcoal, silver bone charcoal, we can't afford to burn it."

"Look at you are so generous with money, you can't even afford to burn charcoal?" Li Yan was stunned, Chen Yanfeng slanted at Li Yan from the corner of his eye, "One, I am a generous person, as generous as rich or not." Second, I went out this time, and the silver I brought was not small, but I only brought me for one person's use, and now with you and your girl, and Zhou Rui, there are three more, one person and four people, can it be the same? Third, I usually go out alone, almost never stay in an inn, and find a place with a good view to meditate at night, which is much better than sleeping, can you? You definitely can't, you definitely have to stay in the inn, this ...... Alas! Chen Yanfeng let out a long sigh, "I'll just say it, how good it is for you to go to the Cloudy Mountain Villa to raise it, not to mention anything else, at least the silver bone charcoal can be burned casually." ”

"Forget it, when I didn't say it." Li Yan interrupted Chen Yanfeng's emotion, enjoyment and freedom cannot be both, and it is really a sinful thing to sacrifice enjoyment and take freedom.

"Or," Chen Yanfeng looked at Li Yan who shrank back in with pity, "Let's not take the waterway, let's go to Beijing by land." If you're going by land, just hire a car...... It's not cost-effective to hire it, let's buy one, and then buy a mule, don't use a coachman, I'll drive the car for you, so I'll do the math...... You can save a lot, at least you can save your charcoal money. ”

Li Yan kept nodding while listening, she also felt that it was better to take the land route, at least she could see the customs along the way. Now on the boat, at a glance, it is really boring to see nothing but water and water.

"Just to Liuting Pier. Liuting Wharf is a big wharf, and there are many people going south and north, and when we go ashore, it is easy for them to find business. That's it, I'm going to talk to the boat boss. Chen Yanfeng made up his mind in a few words, turned around and went out of the cabin to find the ship boss.

I walked to Liuting Wharf for another two or three days.

Liuting Wharf is indeed a big wharf, the riverside section is scaled, densely covered with houses, go up from the wharf, walk dozens of steps, the street will fork open, one point two, two points four, a large area of inns and freight inns that can hardly be seen is spread out in a fan shape.

This is the first town that Li Yan has seen that looks like a town.

Chen Yanfeng settled the account with the boat boss, and the group of four people first looked for a car and horse dealership, and buying a car was a big deal; Because of the four people in this group, none of them, including Yushu, were willing to carry luggage.

Chen Yanfeng grabbed a vendor selling sugar melons, asked where the largest carriage and horse shop in the town was, and the four of them went straight over.

The carriages and horses were on the edge of the town, and a large area stretched out, and in the clearing, rows of pillars were tied to oxen, donkeys, mules, and horses, and in the sheds beside them, wheelbarrows, ox carts, and a few large carts that looked quite good.

Chen Yanfeng looked at the crowded carriages and horses, frowned, Zhou Rui was also a little stunned, although Li Yan didn't understand the world, but seeing that the two of them frowned and didn't go inside, he knew that something was wrong, "What's wrong?" ”

"The boat boss said that Liuting Wharf has a small set in three days, and a large set in ten days. Today, it's not even a small set, and it stands to reason that there should be very few people in the carriage and horse shop. Zhou Rui explained.

Li Yan sighed, she didn't understand too much about large and small sets, and some things must be bought every set.

"Go in and take a look." Chen Yanfeng said a word and strode in, Zhou Rui hurriedly followed, Li Yan stared at his feet, held his toes, dodged the dry and wet cow and horse feces all over the ground, and kept up with Chen Yanfeng and Zhou Rui as much as possible.

In the innermost part of the carriage and horse shop, there were seven or eight sturdy and young mules and horses with shiny coats, and Chen Yanfeng went straight to these mules and horses.

Standing at the door of the house behind the healthy mule and the horse, holding a small teapot in his hand, the person dressed as the shopkeeper, saw Chen Yanfeng go straight to the healthy mule and the horse, hurriedly put the small teapot on the table, piled up a smile on his face, greeted Chen Yanfeng up a few steps, and said with a smile while having: "This master is a noble man at a glance, you have a good eye, you look at these mules, they are all horses and mules, these are four or six people, this small point, also over three mouths, these two horses are better, they were originally raised to be given to the nobles in Yangzhou, since childhood, it is black beans mixed with fine grass." , fed at least four times a day, very strong ......"

The shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced one by one, the better the shopkeeper said, the tighter Chen Yanfeng's brows wrinkled, the better and more expensive it is, it is the horse that pulls the cart, and there are two little girls on the cart, not so good, the old donkey can pull it.
