Chapter 499: Fifth Brother, What's Wrong With You?
Xiao Haitang looked at Gu Ting'an and Mo Yan, she didn't care, if they wanted to hear it, then find someone to come and sing.
If you don't want to hear it, don't listen to it.
They were all lacking in interest, from the beginning, it was Xiao Haitang who wanted to listen to the music, she didn't want to listen to it, and they didn't need to listen to it.
After all, many of the flowers on the boat are the kind that open the yellow tone and sing the eighteen touches, and it is not suitable to sit and listen to the little begonia.
As for whether there is anything that can be heard, there are, but it is also lingering, and it is a beautiful sound.
If the monarch knew that they had brought the little begonias to visit the flower boat, he might hate them.
Seeing that they didn't want to hear it, Xiao Haitang waved her hand and said, "We don't listen." ”
The boatman escorted the Wan'er girl out.
Xiao Haitang felt that there was something different about Miss Wan'er, and was about to ask Gu Ting'an in a blink of an eye, but she didn't want to see him in a daze looking at the direction that Miss Wan'er left.
At this moment, he felt a little paused in his heart, as if he had been filed for a file, and he did not file to the point of seeing blood, but this taste was definitely not pleasant.
I can't tell you what it's like.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's fine." Gu Ting'an's voice was a little muffled.
Xiao Haitang looked in the direction Wan'er left, and then looked at Gu Ting'an.
If she hadn't known him too well, she would have almost thought that he had fallen in love with this Wan'er girl at first sight.
She could see that although his eyes were a little complicated, it had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.
The person he likes is Qiu Xia, but the person Qiu Xia likes is Li Jia.
Feeling that Xiao Haitang was looking at herself, Gu Ting'an hurriedly turned her head and smiled at her.
Xiao Haitang asked them to sit first, and she went out with Qiuxia first.
Chen Jingyan was afraid of something and wanted to follow, but Gu Ting'an stopped her and said, "Don't worry about her, if she doesn't say let her follow, she doesn't like people to follow." ”
Chen Jingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally sat back.
He doesn't know what the personality of this niece is, or these people know better.
Little Begonia didn't know what was going on in the room, and she came to the deck.
The boatman is also on deck, and the helmsman is hoisting the sails.
When he saw Xiao Haitang coming, he hurriedly bowed his hand to her and asked, "Why did the girl come out of the cabin?" It's windy outside. ”
"It's okay, I'm not a weak little woman, I came out to swim in the lake, naturally I want to come to see the scenery.
I wonder how many years the boatman has been running here? ”
The boatman smiled and said, "My family has been fishing here for generations, but they only started running flower boats thirty years ago. ”
"How's your usual business? Are you okay? ”
"The usual business is average, but the money owners we receive are generous and generous, and one order a month is enough for us to eat for a month."
He obviously meant something when he said this, and he wanted to ask Xiao Haitang for silver.
Xiao Haitang smiled, Qiu Xia immediately stuffed him with some broken silver, and said: "Our girl doesn't like to bring silver when she goes out, and I don't bring it either, so you don't have to be too little." ”
She said this with anger, they are not cheap to rent a flower boat, this old guy is still so greedy.
Of course, she was not happy or unhappy, but the girl's words still had to be heard.
"Thank you, Grandma." When the boatman saw the silver, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
Xiao Haitang said: "Actually, you can earn more, like the Wan'er girl just now, her singing voice is so graceful, why don't you let her sing a few more tunes?" Isn't it possible to make more money by learning more tunes?
I'm sure if you let her learn more songs, today's reward is estimated to be enough for you to eat for a year. ”
The boatman said, "Oh, we can't be blamed for that. This Wan'er girl is principled and hard-natured, she doesn't know how to sing, she doesn't want to sing.
Back then, when she came here to sell herself, she said that she only sang such a song, and she was not allowed to be forced to sing other songs unless she volunteered.
Her deed of sale has also crossed the clear road in the government, and the terms and conditions on the headlines are very clear, and we can't force her. ”
The boatman sighed as he spoke.
Xiao Haitang became more and more curious, and said, "It turns out that this Wan'er girl is not your girl." ”
The boatman smiled and said, "Many guests think she is my daughter, where is my daughter?"
My boss and I are like this, can we raise such a smart girl? No kidding. ”
Xiao Haitang was amused by his words and glanced at Qiuxia.
Qiu Xia stepped forward unhappily and stuffed some broken silver, and said, "The boatman has said so much, and this money is used to buy tea for the boatman." ”
The boatman took the money and was even happier.
Xiao Haitang asked again: "Why did Miss Wan'er sell herself?" ”
The boatman said: "I don't know this, this girl has a very firm mouth, and I can't pry any news."
To tell you the truth, I also wanted her to sing a few more tunes before, but someone above said hello, don't embarrass her, I don't dare to make a mistake, I can only serve carefully. ”
The boatman had some unanswered questions, Xiao Haitang smiled, stuffed some broken silver into him, and said, "Let me tell you the truth, my brother is very interested in Miss Wan'er, so I came out to inquire and see if I can redeem her body or something." ”
The corners of the boatman's smile hung on the root of his ears, and he said: "Actually, there are many noble sons in the capital who are willing to redeem themselves for Miss Wan'er, but Miss Wan'er herself is unwilling, to be honest, I can't figure it out, I don't know why she is unwilling to redeem herself, and she only sings such a song."
If you want to say that you are afraid of being a concubine, but other scholars are willing to marry her, and she doesn't want to marry, do you think it's strange? ”
"Strange, very strange, this Wan'er girl is really different, what kind of family can raise such a girl?" Little Begonia said.
"I don't know much about this, but when she came, she was ragged and looked like a desert escape.
In those years, the world suffered from famine, and there were many people fleeing from all walks of life, and she looked like a person fleeing from the famine. ”
When the boatman said this, as if he was afraid that Xiao Haitang would think that he had no mercy, he hurriedly explained, saying:
"At that time, there were so many people fleeing the famine, and our food was not blown by the wind, was it?
So she sold herself, signed a deed of sale with us, and stayed with us to sing.
Strange to say, every time she took the bounty, she would not keep all of it, but would give us some of it.
So our old couple treats her like their own girl. ”
The boatman said with a look of relief, like a loving father.
Xiao Haitang knew that no matter how much she inquired, she couldn't find more useful news, so she glanced at Qiu Xia again.
Qiu Xia reluctantly gave the boatman some silver.
The boatman was so happy, this girl was really generous, she gave so much money after asking a few words.
Such guests come every day, and he must know everything.
His eyes flickered, as if he had found some new way to make a fortune.
Little Begonia stood on the deck for a while, thinking in her heart what Miss Wan'er was trying to do?
If you are just looking for a safe and stable life, there is no reason not to marry.
I can figure it out if I don't want to be a concubine, but why doesn't she agree to the kind of person who wants to marry a wife?
She must have something in mind.
So what exactly is she trying to do?
