The two followed the sound to the Yushui River, only to see a ferry in front of them, and the crowd gathered on the ferry, noisy and shouting, and they didn't know what they were saying.

Lao Wu, who was still talking about Shao Xi just now, jumped off the horse like a young man at this time, and ran over to see the excitement first, which made Shao Xi roll his eyes, shook his head and got off the horse, and walked slowly with a folding fan in his hand to see what was going on.

"Steward Zhao, I was just a little late, why did you let the boat go? My samples of this batch of green haze purple cloud yarn must be sent to the merchants before noon today, otherwise this business will be yellow! I don't have to say anything about the ferry money, but why did you let the boat go? What should I do if this delays the delivery time? ”

Standing at the ferry, a tall and thin man dressed as a small official was looking at an old man dressed as a merchant in front of him with his hands behind his back and drooping his eyelids. The old man was complaining to him excitedly, but he was indifferent, with a look of indifference, and even a slight hint of banter in his eyes, as if he was watching the old merchant's joke.

"Is it to blame someone else for your late arrival? I just follow the rules, and since you don't understand the rules, then I can't help you. I have warned you a long time ago, but you have taken my words as a deaf ear, and now you know that you are in a hurry? I'm sorry, I can't help you, you better wait for the afternoon boat! ”

"Steward Zhao, the money that should be given has already been given! Didn't you say that you would wait for me to send the samples to the ship and hand them over to the merchant's buddies before sending the ship? Why do you change your hexagram temporarily? Isn't that pitting me? ”

When Steward Zhao heard this, his eyes widened, and his two dog oil beards were blown up.

"Shut up! It's obvious that you're late, how can you blame me? If you don't understand the rules, you don't understand the rules, don't blame me for not taking care of you if the rules are broken, what kind of business do you do if you are not smart enough? I think you'd better go home and farm! ”

Shao Xi looked at the ferry that was about to sail to the center of the river, and probably knew the reason for the incident, that is, the Zhao steward who was in charge of the ferry did not wait for the old merchant to come and hand over the yarn to the merchant and let the boat go, which was not a big deal.

But then when he heard the whispered discussion of the people next to him, Shao Xi felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Alas, this boss is too, it doesn't matter if you are careful in doing business, but don't save where you shouldn't be saved. Knowing that this Zhao steward is in charge of the boat at the ferry, every time he doesn't stuff some benefits, the goods are either not allowed to get on the ship, or they are postponed to get on the ship, how can this money be saved? Stuff some money into that Zhao steward earlier, and you won't wait for him to come! ”

"Brother, I don't think what you said is right, the ferry money that should have been paid has already been paid, and the loading silver money that should have been paid has also been paid, why do you have to give him benefits? Is it because he is in charge of the ferry? This is clearly blackmailing others, how can this kind of atmosphere be promoted? Is there no royal law and heavenly reason? ”

"Hey! Isn't doing business just about getting rich? What do you do by offending these people? They don't have much power, but they can hold you up here. I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, it would have been nice to stuff some silver coins, but now it's not yourself who has made it so miserable? ”

"Isn't there anyone in charge of this? Just let him do this? If they are all lawless like him, won't the world be in chaos? ”

"Tube? Who cares? The one above him is more greedy than him, and that's it. Alas! Admit it! ”

When Shao Xi heard it, I wiped it! There are still people who ask for bribes so blatantly in broad daylight, and if they don't give it, they will openly make things difficult for others. It's just a small official, who used the smallest power in his hands to embarrass others to the greatest extent, who gave him the courage? Is it Liang Jingru?

Just as he was about to step forward to take care of this idle matter, he saw a cyan figure flash past him in an instant. When the figure passed by Boss Weng, the sample yarn of the blue haze purple cloud yarn in Boss Weng's hand had disappeared from his hand.

The figure didn't stop at all, and after flashing from everyone's side, it appeared directly on the surface of the Yushui River, and no one could see who this figure was. I saw this cyan figure skimming across the water like a dragonfly and heading straight for the ferry.

Shao Xi was really taken aback by this way of treading water, only to see that the figure was light and fluttering, Ling Bo walked slightly, and walked with water, and every time his toes touched the water, there were slight ripples in circles. This way passed, like a stone hitting a string of water floats on the water, fast and light, elegant and chic.

The figure ran all the way to the edge of the ferry, and without much movement, the whole figure jumped directly from the water to the stern of the ferry.

It wasn't until the figure stood still on the boat that Shao Xi saw that it was a woman in Tsing Yi. Although I can't see the appearance clearly, but at this time, the clothes are fluttering, the skirt is flying, and the long hair is flying in the wind, which is different from the ladies and small jasper I see on weekdays, this woman shows the beauty of freedom, natural beauty, and fresh beauty, even if I don't see her appearance, Shao Xi has been deeply attracted to her at this time.

From a distance, I saw her hand over the blue haze and purple cloud yarn in her hand to a person on the boat, and then turned around and stepped back in the same way.

Even if he decided not to go to Yujiang City for the time being, but to stay in this Yushui Town, he begged this woman to teach herself the method of being able to tread water, no matter what the conditions.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw that the woman had returned to the ferry, so he stood in front of him and talked to the boss of the Weng, and at this time Shao Xi had the opportunity to carefully look at the woman in Tsing Yi in front of him.

This woman's appearance is not stunning, but it is unforgettable.

This woman's face is like a peach and plum, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, pink nose and beaded lips, born upright but without any delicate color, although the demeanor is not elegant, but simple and natural, unpretentious, speaking like a trickle, eloquent, courteous and polite, and generous.

At this time, she was talking to Boss Weng about not being able to catch the ferry just now.

"Boss Weng, didn't I hand over this green haze and purple cloud yarn to you earlier, why did I almost make the wrong transition now? Do you know that these samples are made by the workers in the yarn mill day and night, if you miss this time, won't all the effort be in vain? You should have come sooner. ”

Boss Na Weng was also aggrieved, and explained to the woman: "Oh, yarn girl! How did I not know the importance of this batch of samples? But this morning, there was a problem with a batch of cloud yarn in the cloth shop, and I rushed over to deal with it, so I came a little late. But I had already agreed with Steward Zhao before, and when I arrived to hand over the samples and then send the ferry, in fact, I didn't come too late, who knew that Steward Zhao let the boat go, it was really not intentional! ”

The yarn girl smiled slightly and comforted: "Fortunately, I arrived in time, and finally there was no delay in this matter, Boss Weng, you don't have to feel guilty, since the sample has been handed over to the merchants, things will be considered smooth, just remember to be earlier next time." ”

"What the girl said is that next time if there is such a thing, I will do it as soon as possible, no matter what happens, there will be no further delay, please rest assured! That will never happen again. ”

"That's fine, Boss Weng, please go back and get busy! If the customized cloud yarn is driven out, it will be sent to you, and you only need to leave someone in the cloth shop to receive it, and you don't have to stay in the cloth shop in person. ”

"Huh! Good! Then I'll go back first. ”

After saying that, Boss Na Weng turned around and left the ferry, boarded the carriage and returned to Yushui Town.

Just when everyone present thought that the matter was over, they didn't want to be in charge of Zhao but reprimanded the yarn girl dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, I'm talking about yarn girls! You are just meddling, your yarn mill is just responsible for spinning and weaving, and the yarn you make is handed over to the cloth shop, why do you run to the ferry to take care of our business? Are your hands stretched too far? ”

This was said unceremoniously, and ordinary people might have been angry a long time ago, but the yarn girl didn't care, just smiled faintly.

"Steward Zhao, this batch of samples is very important to both the cloth shop and our yarn mill, if it cannot be delivered to the merchants in time, it is very likely to affect the follow-up customization of the merchants here, not only will it affect the business of the cloth shop, but also affect our business, so I will help, and please Zhao Steward do not take it to heart."

"Humph! Are you afraid of affecting your business? But now that you have affected my business, how can I explain it? You have money to make, and I have no money to make, if you are like you today, how will I mix in the future? If you refuse to pay this money, in the future, if you don't want to pay this money, don't blame me for acting impartially, and I won't be allowed in the future. ”

Listening to Steward Zhao's words, the yarn girl frowned slightly, and her face showed displeasure.

"Steward Zhao, although we are just spinning and weaving people, we are all doing our duty, honest ordinary people, just making money with their craft. Now that you are so troublesome, just because we have not given you any additional benefit, what is the difference between such an act and the robbers who have blocked the way on the mountain? Steward Zhao, you are also a person who works in the public gate, don't you know that it is a violation of Jingyuan's laws to be corrupt and bend the law for bribes? ”

"Yarn girl, don't think that you have made a few tribute yarns, and you think you are great if you know a little martial arts. In this Yujiang County, power has always been greater than the law, you dare to say that I am corrupt and bend the law and ask for bribes, and I still say that you are malicious slander, slander and frame! Go back and let the Yali send someone to take you to prison and seal up your yarn mill, and I will see if you dare to oppose us again in the future? ”

This is a naked threat, a naked bully. Shao Xi pondered, the officials in a town in Yujiang County are so rampant, I wonder how many officials in Yujiang County are incorruptible? It seems that the imperial edict given to him by the emperor's old boy at the beginning does have his reason, and he probably wants to let himself do a few corrupt officials on the way to show the emperor's prestige.

"Oh? I can't imagine that this Yujiang County is really far away from the emperor of the mountain, a small official dares to speak disrespectfully, and the power is greater than the law, are you afraid that you have never seen what is the right and what is the law, right? ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm the person you'll regret seeing the most in your life."
