The inky black river flowed in the moonlight, and a shallow moon shadow reflected in it, as if it were within reach.
There is no wind on the river tonight, there is no wind and no waves, looking from afar, the river surface is like a piece of marble, shining with a strange white light under the illumination of the moonlight, if it were not for the occasional noise on the bank in the distance, Xu Danian almost thought that he was now in a cemetery, not on this canal that has carried hundreds of years of prosperity.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, wiped the saliva off his mouth, and then sat up from the hull of the boat, turned his head to look around, and found that there was only one fishing boat left on the river, and he spat in his mouth, "I slept until this hour, and no one said hello, did everyone die in the boat." ” As he spoke, he pulled the net that was still in the river inward, and after pulling it a few times, he realized that the net was very heavy, and it seemed to be filled with something.
Xu Danian scratched his head: In the middle of the night, could it be that these fish still jumped into the net one after another?
Thinking so, the force in his hand increased again, and he jerked at it, dragging the net all over the boat.
The splash of water sprinkled his head and face, Xu Danian wiped it on his face casually, and slowly opened his eyes, but when he saw clearly what was caught in the fishing net, his body shook heavily, and one stood unsteadily, and almost fell into the river.
In the cabin, there was a pile of paper money in Baihuahua, round on the outside and square on the inside, and every square hole was like a hideous eye, staring at Xu Danian, eager to poke out hundreds of holes in his body.
At the same time, there was a sudden "bang" behind him, setting off a white wave several feet high, beating the boat into a fluttering and almost overturning.
The right ear opened the exquisitely carved solid wood box on the table, glanced inside, and shrugged his shoulders, "I thought it was something delicious, but it turned out that the old thing gave the girl just two cans of tea." ” Yan Niang glanced at it, "See what it does?"
I didn't take it out quickly and threw it away, it stained my table. ” The right ear said yes respectfully, and then picked up the wooden box and walked towards the courtyard, but as soon as he opened the door, his body froze, and he looked at the figure standing outside the door without blinking, and he didn't know whether to go out or turn back for a while.
"What are you doing there, didn't you lose it?"
Yan Niang's voice came from behind her, and her right ear bared her teeth and smiled awkwardly, "Girl, a guest is here." ” "Guest?"
Yan Niang sat up impatiently from the rocking chair, squinted at the door, but was stunned when she saw the old but upright figure, but she was stunned for a while, she changed into her usual calm and calm smile, and rushed to the person at the door, her body bent slightly and made a blessing, "Master Cheng." ” Cheng Dexuan stretched out his hand to signal her to get up, and looked carefully at the cold but beautiful little face: The girl in front of her, although her appearance is superior, is not to the extent that people fall in love at first sight, but she does have a special taste than others, what is it?
He couldn't figure it out for a while, but maybe it was this unpredictable feeling that would become a weapon to seduce people, so that they couldn't help but explore, to explore, to see her through.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong: this kind of mystery is indeed an irresistible charm for a lustful man, but Cheng Muyou is definitely not that kind of person, how could he have feelings for this woman just because of a little curiosity?
"Lord Cheng, it's getting late, I don't know what the adults are doing when they come to my embroidery village?"
Yan Niang's clear voice came, leading Cheng Dexuan out of his mixed thoughts, so he raised his eyebrows, "The girl knows who I am?"
” Yan Niang bowed her head, "The popularity of the adult is extraordinary, and it is not difficult to guess your identity." ” "But the girl doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the gift I gave," Cheng Dexuan said bluntly, wanting to see how she would deal with it next.
Yan Niang smiled, not justifying her behavior at all, "The things sent by adults are naturally high-quality, but I don't like tea, and I have a headache when I smell the smell of tea, so I have to waste such a good thing." ” Cheng Dexuan saw that she answered so directly, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, he looked at the inside of Jihong Embroidery Village, and pretended not to care and asked, "Did the girl go to Xin'an City alone to open this village?"
Can you have a family member with you?
” "No, my father and mother are going early, I have to find a bite to eat for myself."
She replied neither salty nor light, and sent Cheng Dexuan away with one sentence.
Cheng Dexuan smiled embarrassedly, "I see, then dare to ask who the girl is, why did she leave her hometown and come to Xin'an?"
” "Yan Niang has been wandering the rivers and lakes since she was a child, helpless, and she doesn't know where her roots are, and wherever she goes, it is counted."
She turned a thousand pounds in four or two, and easily resolved Cheng Dexuan's curiosity.
"That" I wanted to ask a few more questions, but my right ear suddenly called by the door, "Master Cheng, do you want to go back?"
I've been here to pull the door for you, and my hands are sore. ” The meaning of evicting customers in its words couldn't be more obvious, Cheng Dexuan had no choice but to hurriedly say goodbye and walk towards the door.
When he passed by the right ear, he looked at the box in his hand, his face was a little unbearable, he hesitated for a while, and was about to step out of the threshold, but was stopped by it again, "My lord, it's not good to waste this tea, or someone else should take it back." ” Seeing Cheng Dexuan bring the tea back intact, Jiang Xi hurriedly glanced at Xun'er, pulled him out of the room lightly.
Cheng Muyou's lips moved a few times, and finally swallowed the smile, and said to Cheng Dexuan, "Father, I advised you not to go, you didn't do it willingly, you touched the nail now." ” Cheng Dexuan was not annoyed, but the heart he had been carrying was a little more relaxed: he had always been afraid that Cheng Muyou would be fascinated by a woman like Cheng Qiuchi, but now it seems that the girl named Yan Niang not only did not work her son at all, but even felt a little disgusted and bored, although he couldn't figure it out in his heart, but he unloaded his vigilance and defense, and his heart was a lot easier.
He took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said to Cheng Muyou, "Don't talk about this, the salt boat will arrive at the dock in a few days, this time the Holy Lord sent me over, just to supervise the whole process, and the preparations that Xin'an Mansion should make are all ready?"
” Cheng Muyou nodded, "The dock has been reinforced, and the porters are all carefully selected, as soon as the ship arrives on the shore, it will be supervised by the people of the government throughout the whole process, and there will be no forks." ”
