Chapter 32: Shallots

Xu Huaigu and Gu March took the Yan family's carriage and slowly arrived at the wharf in Xicheng, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw hundreds of neatly arranged large ferries docked on the coast, mighty and imposing.

These ferries on the sea are no better than the boats in the rivers, there are many dangers in the sea, and there are many ancient demon clans in the deep sea of tens of thousands of meters, so the environment in the sea is actually more dangerous than on land.

Each of these transcontinental ferries transported at least a few million taels of silver, so a special defensive circle was installed on the ferry, so the hull of the ship was extremely large.

Xu Huaigu and the others were led by a servant of the Yan family to an extraordinarily large ferry.

This ferryboat is seven or eight stories high, from the bow to the stern of the boat a total of about 100 feet, and a few people stand under this ferry, which is really like a few ants.

Xu Huaigu was shocked by the size of the ferry, even though he had heard that the boats in the river were far inferior to the cross-sea ferry, but he never thought that the cross-sea ferry would be so large, at least the size of dozens of the largest river ferries.

The servant took Xu Huaigu and Gu March to the bottom of the ship, and saw Yan Chonglou directing the laborers on the dock to move the goods up under the ship.

The servant ran to Yan Chonglou's side, bowed his head and whispered a few words, Yan Chonglou immediately looked at Xu Huaigu's side, then smiled, strode over, and said: "It turns out that Xu Xian is here, I have been waiting here for a long time in the morning, I have arranged a good upper room for you, on the seventh floor of the ship, after you get on the boat, someone will take you over." "This Yan Chonglou is also an eight-sided delicate character, a few days ago, because he wanted Xu Huaigu to be an offering, Xu Huaigu didn't give a good face, and now he immediately became obedient, and this generosity is also good.

Xu Huaigu nodded, and gave him his hand, which was regarded as thanking him. Yan Chonglou had other things to do, so Xu Huaigu and Gu March boarded the ship first.

Sure enough, as soon as they boarded the ship, a maid dressed in white led them all the way to the seventh floor and found an upper room.

The white-clothed maid was well-behaved, not tall, but had a lively personality, and talked a lot of small talk with Xu Huaigu along the way, and finally brought them into the room before introducing herself and saying: "My name is shallot, and I am the maid in Xu Xianchang's room, if Xu Xianchang and Miss Gu have something, just look for me, I will help you do it." "Gu March didn't sleep this morning, and he was sleepy at this time, so he went to a room in this upper room and fell asleep, so only Shallot and Xu Huaigu were left in the lobby.

Xu Huaigu asked with a smile, "Shallot...... What a strange name, does anyone call it tofu? The white-clothed maid knew that she was making fun of her, but there was really a male servant named Tofu on this boat, and the two of them were coaxed by the maids and servants on the same boat on weekdays.

Xu Huaigu saw her blushing, and suddenly understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "It turns out that there really is." Look at your blushing appearance, as the saying goes, shallots mixed with tofu, you two are a perfect match? Xiao Shallot's white and tender face flushed, and he covered his ears embarrassedly, and said, "Xu Xianchang knows nonsense. Although there is indeed such a person as Tofu on this boat, he and I only know each other, and we have never spoken a few words to him. Besides, since I am the maid in the upper room of Xu Xianchang, how can I have other good looks? Xu Huaigu heard what he said, and directly pierced the window paper and said, "What's the matter, the maid in the upper room is still exquisite?" Shallot raised her eyebrows and asked uncertainly, "Xu Xianchang really doesn't know?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've taken a cross-continent ferry, and I really don't know these rules." Tell me anything, and I won't make it difficult for you. Shallot thought about it, she was still quite bold after all, and said shyly: "Does Immortal Xu think that Shallot is better looking than the other maids of the Yan family?" Xu Huaigu looked at her carefully, and then felt that she was indeed very charming.

A fox-like pointed chin, a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes, and long and natural eyebrows hooked by snails. The bridge of the nose is high, the lips are like Zhu Dan, and he is dressed in plain white clothes, and a cyan ribbon is tied around his waist, which sets off the slender and energetic waist.

The place where it should be thin is thin, and the place where there should be meat is not lacking catties and two, and the whole body is very feminine. Especially the slender waist, it really looks like a shallot.

No wonder it's called shallots, is that what it means? Xiao Shallot saw Xu Huaigu's undisguised eyes, and suddenly felt hot on his face.

This person was quite serious before, but now when he was told by himself, he began to be unserious. Shallot regretted telling him this, after all, she was just a young girl, and she was still very nervous and shy when she encountered this kind of thing.

However, this is the default old rule in the transcontinental ferry industry, not only shallots, but also more than a dozen maids like her in this ferry, who were assigned to the rest of the upper rooms.

The fate of those maids is even worse, most of the people living in the upper room are some famous and powerful magnates, these magnates are mostly middle-aged and elderly, but they are still young and handsome sons and daughters, although they are unwilling, but they are better than others.

Thinking of this, Shallot was a little relieved. After Xu Huaigu glanced at it a few times, he nodded and said, "That's true." So you, the maids who go to the room, must be outstanding in appearance? Shallot nodded slightly, and said nervously: "After all, it is a room, and most of the people who live there are people who are very close to the Yan family, and sometimes the guests have some other requirements, so they need a good-looking maid." "How could Xu Huaigu not hear her outside the strings?

It's just that he didn't have much interest in this, and just asked, "Do you make a lot of money as a maid in the upper room?" Shallot hurriedly replied: "Actually, our remuneration is only slightly higher than that of ordinary maids, but since the guests we serve are relatively wealthy, most of our income comes from the rewards of the guests. Reading the book, Xu Huaigu suddenly laughed dryly.

It's nothing more than a contribution, a background, which is not much different from the prostitutes in the Qinglou, it seems that this world is like this.

Shallot was a little flustered, thinking that Xu Huaigu looked down on her, and hurriedly begged: "Don't dislike the fairy chief, this is the first time Shallot has been a maid in the upper room, and she has never served others." Shallot is still outstanding among the maids, and at that time, I was specially selected by the housekeeper to serve the fairy chief, saying that it is necessary to respond to all requests, so Xu Xianchang asked something, and I also said, please don't replace me. Xu Huaigu became interested and asked curiously: "Interesting, you told me not to replace you, what are you going to do with this unclean silver?" Shallot stammered for a long time before saying: "Shallot's grandfather was originally a big official in the court, and was later framed and imprisoned by officials of the same dynasty, and sentenced to a major crime of forming a party for personal gain. ”

"Shallot was born later, so he was born a slave. I was supposed to live a lifetime in the Teaching Division, but I was appreciated by a housekeeper of the Yan family, and it took a relationship to bring me out and work as a maid on this ship. ”

"I also have a sister who is three years younger than me, and now she is also in the Workshop Division. She was already sixteen years old, and according to the rules of the Teaching Division, she was about to be taken out for hospitality. I have to spend money to keep my sister's temporary innocence. If the silver was broken, she would be forced to entertain guests at once. The shallot's face was flushed, and there were faint tears condensed in the narrow peach blossom eyes, and she wanted to cry.

is also a hard-working person, so Xu Huaigu frowned and asked her, "How much does it cost to save your sister?" ”

"The people in the sect department said that one hundred taels of silver will be delayed for a month."

"I didn't mean this, I said how much would it cost to rescue your sister from the Sect Division?" Shallot looked at him in surprise and said, "If you want to rescue your sister, it's not enough to spend money, you also have to have a relationship in the court, is it possible that the immortal has a way?" She bit her thin lip and said, "As long as the Immortal Elder can rescue my sister, I will let the Immortal Elder send me." Xu Huaigu laughed and said, "This is what you said?" Shallot blushed and nodded.

Xu Huaigu said: "Okay, I'm thirsty, I want to drink tea, you go and make me some tea." And wine, bring me the best wine on board, and give me a taste of what it tastes like. Shallot was stunned for a moment and said, "That's all?" Xu Huaigu laughed and said, "Of course not." Xiao Shallot's face began to become red again, he thought that Xu Huaigu wanted her body, but if she could save her sister in this way, she was also very willing.

After all, a woman like her, even if she can keep her innocence for a while, how long can it be delayed? Her only wish is to rescue her sister and let her live an ordinary life.

As for himself, now that he is on this boat, there is no hope of living a normal life. Shallot lowered his head, gave Xu Huaigu a salute, and said obediently: "That Shallot is the person of the fairy chief, Shallot has no complaints and no regrets, but I beg the fairy chief to save my sister out." Xu Huaigu sneered and said, "What are you thinking?" I'm asking you to hurry up and get pen and ink, and before the ferry has set sail, I'll repair a letter to find a relationship with the palace and save your sister out. Shallot was startled, looked at Xu Huaigu stupidly, and tears fell suddenly, she

"Dong" knelt down and kowtowed, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the great kindness of the immortal!" Xu Huaigu hurriedly helped her up and said, "I, Xu Huaigu, do things, and I love to pay attention to the conscience of heaven and earth. Since you and your sister have not done anything wrong, what I can save with a word will naturally not be stingy, you don't have to thank me. He grinned and said, "As for what kind of service you are talking about, just serve tea and water." I'm a monk, and I don't have any special fetishes, as long as I'm quiet, okay? Shallot nodded solemnly, her eyes full of determination.

"Alright, there you go." Xu Huaigu waved his hand, motioned for the shallots to go out, and added by the way: "Don't forget the tea and wine!" Shallot walked out of the door with light steps, and Xu Huaigu saw her nodding.

But Xu Huaigu shook his head and muttered to himself: "If you can save one, can you save thousands of thousands?" Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu, you are becoming more and more disagreeable. ”
