Armill Boots

Mu Gongzi looked at the little scholar, and when he saw that he was smiling happily after listening to these people's words, he shook his head speechlessly.
The two of them walked for half an hour, and when they arrived at Huashenghe Wharf, they saw a bunch of people gathered on the wharf from a distance, and they came up to see the excitement quite leisurely.
There were three people around: two were Hua Shenghe's attendants, and one seemed to be the shopkeeper. The man dressed as the shopkeeper was flickering loudly: "One ticket and ten gold coins, personally experience the Shenzhou sea trip! Two hours round trip, absolutely worth the price! Whoever hunts and catches it during the sailing time, this workshop will never interfere! Only one hundred cabins, first come, first served!"
The shopkeeper's deception was successful, and soon more than a dozen people bought tickets and boarded the ship. Mu Gongzi and the little scholar stepped forward to take a look, it was also a paddle boat, but it was half as large as the paddle boat used by Huashenghe for hunting, and the design was longer and narrower.
In the case of a hunting oarboat, a hundred people stood on it, perhaps only fifty barely crouched on the side of the boat, and the rest could only be crowded on the deck. And this kind of real sea ship is enough to accommodate seventy or eighty people to stand on the side of the ship, and the remaining twenty or thirty people can stand on the deck to rest and watch, and it does not appear crowded.
Seeing that the dozen or so people got on the boat, they walked around to watch everything fresh, so more people bought tickets. The shopkeeper continued to flicker: "There are also two paddle hunting boats accompanying me this time, if any merchant wants to participate in the auction at the end of the month and bid for the paddle hunting boat, then you need to get on the boat to experience it, hurry up and get on the boat, there are not many cabin tickets at hand!"
A quarter of an hour passed, and about fifty people got on board. The man who got on the boat quickly looked at every part of the whole ship and began to urge the shopkeeper to hurry out to sea. When the shopkeeper heard this, he just smiled, still trying to fool around. It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that a hundred cabins were sold out and the voyage began.
At this time, the dozen or so people who were the first to board the ship felt that they had been fooled the earliest, and they were already complaining. Mu Gongzi's master and servant had also boarded the boat and occupied the stern position early.
The two guards and the shopkeeper got on the boat and asked everyone to fasten their safety straps, otherwise they would not be able to sail. Everyone looked down in amazement, only to find that iron buckles were installed on the side and deck of the ship. The two guards handed out twine triangular straps that everyone could wear as shorts on their waists, and fastened them to hang them in the air. Even if the ship is driving on the undulating waves, it can tie people to the boat steadily, and even if it leaves urgently, it can easily take off the buckle.
Everyone felt that there was nothing, and locked themselves in the buckle one by one.
The sightseeing boat began to move, and it was indeed fast, but it was certainly not as fast as the two hunting boats. The sightseeing boat almost showed its martial arts, and it was easy to show the posture of riding the wind and waves, but the two hunting boats were just very casual 123 romances, which seemed very relaxed.
Mu Gongzi's master and servant did not grab the position on the side of the ship, so he wandered around on the deck, and soon saw an acquaintance, one of the shopkeepers of Jiangzuo County who had just said goodbye, and the shopkeeper Lu of the Longxing caravan. Shopkeeper Lu accompanies their family's Caidong, bodyguards and Caidong's daughter, a young girl who cares about love, and her name is Wan'er.
The four of them and sixteen people stood together and chatted, and the fifteen people were also merchants from the Cangwu Principality, Zheng, Qian, Sun, and Song, respectively, four young Caidong and the treasurer, and Wu Xiu's guards, and the guards were more or less.
Mu Gongzi stepped forward to meet with the shopkeeper Lu, and was introduced by him and greeted the other four families. Lu Caidong was very enthusiastic, and there was a bit of compliment in his speech, presumably the shopkeeper Lu had informed him of Mu Gongzi's identity.
Shopkeeper Lu did not mean to let Mu Gongzi have a deep friendship with the other four families, and introduced Mu Gongzi only as a talented local scholar. It is very considerate to introduce the other four families to Mu Gongzi, not only the clan, hometown, and what kind of business is introduced, but also the status of each Shao Caidong in the family, the net worth of the business house, and the area of business dealings.
The four young masters are all the leaders of the younger generation of their respective families. Except for the one in the Qian family, who is obese and has no obvious face, the other three are all handsome and chic, which can be called the dragon and phoenix among people. Looking at their outfits again, even the fat man Qian Shao, each of them wore a pair of half-body leather armor inlaid with the family emblem, a waist knife decorated with gems hanging from their waists, and a delicate Baina bag and an identity jade pendant, which thought that the family had a deep heritage.
Although Mu Gongzi said that he had a small scholar, he was dressed in an ordinary way, with no leather armor, no waist knife, no bag, and no jade pendant. The introduction of the shopkeeper Lu only said that he was a local scholar, although his surname was Mu, but he did not mention the relationship with the Mu family of the Muhai Principality, so it didn't matter. Everyone looked at the master and servant of Mu Gongzi, and they were a little indifferent and perfunctory, even the little sister of the Lu family (xj) also had such an attitude.
Zheng, Qian, Sun, Song and the Lu family are not old acquaintances, looking at the expressions of the four young Caidong looking at the little (xj) sister of the Lu family, they should have just met on the boat and came here. Lu Caidong and Lu Shopkeeper accompanied Mu Gongzi to say a word occasionally, and Sister Lu Xiao (XJ) said hello, and turned her head to talk to the four young Caidong, smiling coquettishly.
Especially the one with little money, although his appearance is not obvious, his words are witty and interesting, and his fat body is rare and neat, and he is dancing with his hands while talking with emotion, which looks a little funny. After a long time, he had the closest communication with Sister Lu Xiao (XJ), and he had already called Sister Lu Xiao (XJ) by her best name, and she did not dislike her. came and went, and it seemed that the other three young Caidong were a little bad at words.
I only heard that Qian Shao said: "Sister Xiu'er, seeing that you are dressed so delicately, I think you are the first time to go to the sea, right?" Seeing that Sister Lu Xiao (XJ) smiled and nodded, and said: "Sister Xiu'er, then you have to be careful, and hide behind your brother later." This open sea is not an inland sea, the sea beast is fierce, and the elder brother's body is huge and heroic, and the management and security cover Xiu'er's sister tightly. As he spoke, he turned around and showed Sister Lu Xiao (XJ) the thick back, which swayed from side to side like a tumbler, which made Sister Lu Xiao (XJ) laugh from ear to ear.
Qian Shao's face was serious, occasionally showing a smile but instantly withdrawing it, such an expression made everyone laugh even more. Even Mu Gongzi, Lu Caidong and Shopkeeper Lu stopped talking, and turned around to listen to him play. Qian Shao saw that everyone was listening to him, and he worked harder and harder: "In this season, the most people who want to come to the open sea are blue mackerel, that guy ......"
Speaking of this, Qian Shao turned his head and pointed at the little scholar, and then continued: "It's as big as this child, and it flies onto the boat with a whoosh." As he spoke, he held his little fat hand in a flying shape: "Fly up, let's dodge." If you accidentally hit your body, without this leather armor, you will drill a big hole on the spot. Speaking of this, the little fat hand made a drill shape again, more than a meter apart, and went straight into Sister Lu Xiao (XJ)'s chest. Sister Lu Xiao (XJ) also cooperated, and quickly jumped backwards delicately, giggling on her lips.
