Chapter Seventy-Four: Master Yang
As soon as the middle-aged man was ready to start the boat, someone rushed over, saying as he ran: "Boatman, wait for us, our master is going to cross the river." ”
Listening to this person's words, it seems that there are still a lot of guests, and it is worth waiting a little longer, the middle-aged man laughed twice and stopped what he was doing. Qingyang looked up, and standing on the shore was a young man with a long face, dressed as a servant.
Not long after, three more people rushed over, starting with an obese man of about thirty years old, with a big round face and a pair of small eyes that were almost squeezed out. Dressed in satin clothes, he also held a folding fan in his hand, and he didn't know if he was really romantic or chic, looking at the dress, he should be the master in the mouth of the long-faced servant.
The small-eyed master was followed by a man and a woman, and he carried a lot of things in big bags and small bags. The man was a middle-aged strong man, with a square face, a weathered face, a strong body, and a dignified expression, obviously a bodyguard and a nursing home. The woman next to her was beautiful, charming, less than twenty years old, and seemed to be a maid who served people.
Four people, a master, a maid, a bodyguard, and a follower often follow, and he went out to bring his subordinates so completely, it can be seen that this master is also a person who likes to enjoy, and it is estimated that the family status is extraordinary.
The small-eyed old man came to the ferry, looked at the boat on the river, and couldn't help frowning, as if he was very disgusted with the boat in front of him. But look at the sky, it's about to get dark, if you don't hurry up and cross the river, you may have to stay here at night, there is no decent inn here, he shook his head helplessly, and he can only take a moment.
The small-eyed old man was about to get on the boat, but the boatman suddenly stopped him and said, "This lord, my small boat can only carry four people at a time, but I already have one guest on the boat, why don't you go on three first, and the rest will go over tomorrow?" ”
Tomorrow again? Isn't that? We're a group of four people, and you're going to divide us into two? What if something happens if something happens if you stay here alone? This maid needs to give me a warm quilt, the bodyguard follows me to have a sense of security, this servant needs to be around at any time to listen to the call, which of the three people is missing, I can't sleep, is it possible to leave the master and me on this side of the river?
Before the small-eyed old man could speak, the long-faced servant shouted, "What do you mean, boatman?" We came together, and you let us divide it into two? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass us? Isn't that kid alone? Let him come down and make room for us. ”
Seeing that the four people here disagreed, the boatman turned his head to look at Qingyang and said, "Little brother, look at this...... Why don't you cross the river tomorrow? ”
If this master and servant talk well, Qingyang's side is not unnegotiable, but the other party's arrogant and condescending attitude makes him very dissatisfied. And I came early, and I waited so long, why should I give it to the latecomers?
Qingyang didn't speak, just shook his head and rejected the boatman. The boatman was very helpless, so he had to say to the master and servant again: "He doesn't want to let him, this master, or else, you guys come up to the three first, and then pick up the last one after I send you across the river?" ”
Hundreds of zhang wide riverside, this kind of manpower boat back and forth, at least half an hour, and wait for the rest of the person to be picked up, it is estimated that an hour has passed, seeing that the sky is dark, how can they have time to wait here all the time?
"No, if you don't come back after you pass, what will happen to the rest of us?" The small-eyed old man shook his head and said.
At this time, the long-faced servant stood opposite Qingyang in a flash, pointed at Qingyang and said, "Boy, you don't know how to lift, do you?" Do you know who our lord is? This is the eldest master of the Yang family of Kaiyuan Mansion, if you know each other, hurry up and get off the boat, otherwise don't blame us for being polite. ”
What kind of sheep and pig master, Qingyang is not too late, he is also young and vigorous, how can he be so scolded by the other party, and said: "Everything pays attention to the principle of first come, first come, first come, are you planning to use strong?" The kid is always there for you. ”
Qingyang took the words, and the long-faced servant couldn't get off the stage a little, so he was a little annoyed and angry, and turned his head and said: "Master, look at it, this guy has to eat and drink if he doesn't toast, let Lao Liang make a move, and throw this guy into the water to be sober and sober." ”
The small-eyed old man Yang also seemed to see Qingyang unpleasantly, snorted, and was ready to send Lao Liang behind him to go up, the boatman next to him saw that the two sides did not give in to each other, and the conflict became bigger and bigger, the boatman scolded in his mouth in a low voice, and then stood up to be a peacemaker, and said: "Don't, don't do it, just one more person, I'll try to be careful, it shouldn't be an accident, you all get on the boat." ”
The difference between carrying four people in this small boat and carrying five people is not particularly big, if it weren't for the fact that the small-eyed old man was too fat, and he weighed almost two Qingyangs alone, the boatman might not have mentioned this problem. Now that the two sides are not giving in, then they can only settle for a while, and be careful not to capsize in the river.
Qingyang didn't want to be troubled, so he didn't care about the other party's offense, and Master Yang saw that Qingyang didn't seem to be a person to be messed with, so he didn't let the old Lin behind him make a move, and the two sides were at peace for the time being. No one disagreed with the boatman's suggestion, and both sides were in a hurry to cross the river, and no matter who left behind, they would not be willing, so they had to cross together.
After that, the servant first sent the burden they were carrying onto the boat, and then the four masters and servants all made it to the ship, and the impact of the other people on the boat was not very big, after the fat old man Yang got on the boat, Qingyang obviously felt that the boat sank suddenly, the hull fell a lot, and the boat shook violently a few times, and I don't know if there would be an accident on the way.
When everyone got on the boat, the boatman untied the rope from the boat, flicked the oars and turned the boat around and headed into the water. Probably because the boat was overloaded, the boatman was always cautious when rowing, and the boat traveled very slowly.
The boat was not big, only four or five feet wide, and its length could be more than one zhang, and it was full of six people.
Qingyang was the first to get on the boat, so he sat on the bow of the boat, followed by the long-faced servant, sitting with a cold face against Qingyang's body, as if he wanted to squeeze Qingyang overboard. Looking at his posture, if it weren't for the fact that there was an outsider watching the boat on the boat, maybe he would have dared to directly reach out and push Qingyang into the river.
Sitting in the middle were Master Na Yang and his maid, and the burden was placed between them and the long-faced servant. That Master Yang was not honest when he sat on the boat, and from time to time he rubbed some oil on the maid's body, which attracted a lot of scolding and laughter, and he looked like no one else.
