Chapter 30: Qiu Niang

Usually, Qiu Niang relies on a price two percent lower than other ferrymen, and does some business for countrymen who are afraid of her reputation but likes to be greedy for cheaper ones to make a living, and she eats and lives on the water on weekdays.

"If there is one person who is willing to take over Song Yushan's business, it is only Qiu Niang, what do you think, Miss Song?"

Shui Sheng introduced Qiu Niang's situation without concealment, and he still had some confidence in his heart.

Miss Song is the only woman in the county who has set up a female household, and she is also the apprentice of Granny Hua, and her reputation is not very good, she is very maverick, and she will definitely not mind Qiu Niang's reputation.

She is willing to pay a lot of money to rent a boat, if Qiu Niang can make a lot of money from this, her life can be better.

Of course, Song Yushan will not have any opinion of Qiu Niang because of the rumors of the mourning star, she died first and then the master, and the fate of the evil star who was hard to overcome her relatives was much more unlucky than Qiu Niang in the eyes of some people.

Not only did she not mind, but she also became a little curious, especially after hearing that Qiu Niang had sent someone to the county town safely.

Before her mother-in-law died, she specially told her that she had to advance to the Qi Condensation Period, learn the Heavenly Eye Technique and the Paper Binding Technique, and only after the two techniques were small enough to go to the county town, it can be seen that the road is difficult and dangerous.

Qiu Niang was able to come and go several times, and she was safe, how could Song Yushan not be curious?

Both Mother-in-law and Uncle Jin said that there were no other cultivators in Fushui County.

Could it be that this Qiu Niang is a demon?

can listen to Shui Sheng say that Qiu Niang is five years older than him, and they are all children who grew up by the water, and they don't look like demons.

Song Yushan looked at Shui Sheng like this, and his understanding of Qiu Niang didn't seem to be fake.

Shui Sheng was a little unconfident when he was looked at, could it be that he was wrong? Miss Song is also a personal person, who are those who are taboo?

He was a little disappointed: "If you don't want to think about Qiu Niang, please don't tell me about me looking for you for her today." ”

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, he is not worried about himself, he is only worried about causing trouble to Qiu Niang, the woman always suffers a loss, and the news of his words for Qiu Niang is spreading, and the neighbors will say that Qiu Niang is a seductive fox spirit.

"You tell me where Qiu Niang berthed the boat, I'll go and see it myself, if it's really suitable, the negotiation is over, and you can go to Fumanzhai to have a big meal for free." Song Yushan said.

Aquatic is wishful, even if she doesn't mind Qiu Niang's reputation, Qiu Niang may not mind that what she wants to do is unlucky, even if she doesn't fish and sell fish, it is normal to have superstitions about living on the water.

When Shui Sheng heard this, he knew that there was a play, and he immediately became happy: "As long as you don't care about those bullshit rumors, Qiu Niang will definitely be able to satisfy you, if it happens, I don't want to go to Fumanzhai to eat a big meal for free, please take care of Qiu Niang more on the boat fare, I am grateful!" ”

Song Yushan responded.

Shui Sheng came out of the alley and went home with a happy expression, and Song Yushan and Jin Dae then went out of the alley to the dock.

Qiu Niang often moored the boat at the ferry port on the south side of the wharf, next to the grove, and the one with the carp lantern hanging on the bow of the boat was.

When Song Yushan and Jin Da arrived there, they saw a canopy boat with lanterns, which was farther from the shore than other houses, and a young woman with a woman's hair in a bun was weaving a fish basket on the deck.

Although the wind and sun are exposed on the water, the skin is slightly dark, but it can't hide the beautiful face, sitting on the boat, it becomes a scenery by itself.

Song Yushan glanced at Jin Dae.

Kim Dae shook his head.

Song Yushan understood.

It's a human, not a demon.

There are a lot of boatmen at the ferry, but Song Yushan and Jin Dae, who bring the ashes altar, make people stay away.

This morning, Granny Hua passed away and didn't want to do anything afterward, Song Jiayushan returned home with her ashes, and she wanted to follow her last wish, and the matter of scattering the ashes in Fushui has spread throughout the dock.

Seeing Song Yushan and Jin Da go to Qiu Niang's place, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Niang does not solicit customers, most of them only do acquaintances' business on weekdays, and generally fix every once in a while to pick up people to come to the county town to catch the market, and then send people back.

She just sent someone today, and that person will be returning by boat tomorrow.

Seeing Song Yushan and Jin Da coming, Qiu Niang was still a little surprised, she had a bad reputation in the county, except for shopping, she rarely went ashore to the dock, so she didn't know the fresh gossip this morning, and she didn't know Song Yushan and Jin Da.

Song Yushan said what he meant, and because of what Shui Sheng said, he gave out twenty taels of silver at the beginning.

Qiu Niang agreed to get out of the boat without the slightest hesitation, but she had objections to the boat fare: "Only go downstream to the middle of the river for a while, one penny of silver is enough, and twenty taels of silver are enough for me to run to the county town." ”

Song Yushan clearly saw that the clothes on her body had been sewn and mended many times, and the boat was also very simple, but she was still able to take this job, but she only charged the usual price, which was really admirable.

The more this was the case, the more she wanted to spend the money.

"We are going to bring the ashes on the ship, which may affect your business in the future, and it is appropriate to pay more for the boat, so that I can feel more at ease."

Seeing her like this, Qiu Niang took a step back: "At most, one or two silvers, no matter how much Miss you can rest assured, I can't rest assured." ”

Song Yushan said helplessly: "I've never seen you do business, I'm afraid you'll make more money." Do you know that apart from you, I can't find anyone willing to take my business except for buying a boat? A unique business, you can do it at a higher price. ”

Qiu Niang asked her rhetorically: "I heard from the scholars who rushed to take the exam that the paper books of the Song family bookstore are cheaper than those sold in the county town, and they are also a unique business, so why doesn't the Song family's bookstore sit on the ground and raise the price?" ”

Song Yushan smiled: "That's it, one tael of silver is one or two silver, can you let us get on the boat?" ”

It was she who underestimated Qiu Niang, although Qiu Niang was poor, she had ambition and should respect her, instead of throwing money at herself to help.

Qiu Niang docked the boat and invited them to get on the boat, and she was very capable.

The boat slowly rowed towards the center of the river, Song Yushan was curious, and asked Qiu Niang about the waterway to the county town.

"This goes to the county town, down the river, sunny and sunny, rain is resting, the fastest is January, the slowest forty-nine days can be reached, there is no lack of turbulent water in the middle, the terrain is steep, many boats have to go and have no return, much more dangerous than the land.

However, my father has taken me through this waterway since I was a child, so I was able to pass safely, but I didn't encounter any strange things as you said. Qiu Niang said.

Song Yushan just thought that she was lucky, or an ordinary person, and didn't run into those things, so he asked her about the situation in the county town.

"I have only stayed at the wharf of the county town, just one wharf, it is bigger than our entire Fushui County, and the big river, you can't see the other side at a glance, the boats on the river, some are taller than the tallest building in our county, it is very spectacular......"

Qiu Niang's speech was full of color, and Song Yushan and Jin Da were fascinated by it.

Just listen to her talk about the scene on the wharf and the river, and you can get a glimpse of the prosperity of the county.
