Chapter 1037

"We have food on board. What else do you buy these dry food for? The waterway is damp. Even in winter city, steamed bread will get moldy after a few days. We always send people down to buy at every dock to ensure the freshness. "

Silent language seems a little embarrassed, "this little brother, we also know that the things on the boat are fresher, but the price is much higher. We are really not rich, so we have to keep all the money on the boat. We really can't afford any more money to eat the food on the boat."

The boatman frowned and said, "if you don't have money, you're going to Lancheng, aren't you? If you don't have enough money, don't go so far. You can't eat orchid city at all. You have to weigh it over, but you don't have time to get off the boat to buy it. In addition, once the steamed bread gets moldy and hairy, you can't eat it any more. Otherwise, if you eat it badly, you can't care on board. "

"Yes, don't worry. We'll pay attention. When the dry food is finished, as long as you can squeeze money out of your hand, you will definitely buy something to eat on the boat. It won't embarrass the boatman. "

"That's about the same." The boatman's face was a little better, and he said, "before the Mrs. Yuanwai arrives, you can get on the ship first, but the innermost cabin can't be entered. That's a good place for Mrs. Yuanwai and her party. You can choose two small cabins! Anyway, there's not much silver, and the cabin can't afford to live in. "

Murmur nodded his head and bowed his waist again. Then he helped Bai hecan, Luo Xiu carried Jun Mulin, and four of them got on the boat.

When they got to the ship, the boatman was still distributing the cabins. He weighed the silver that murmur had handed him. Then he looked at the four of them and said, "there are four of you, two men and two women. But this silver is only enough to rent a cabin. How can you four live?"

They were all in a bit of a dilemma. Bai hecan took the initiative to ask the boatman, "we asked before. Is it enough to rent two cabins? Why can we only rent one now? "

"That was the price before, but when is it now? It's winter now, and it's still Chinese New Year! It's good to have a boat at this time. How can it be the same price as usual? Let's talk it over for yourself. Do you want to rent two rooms for a little more money, or do you want to squeeze four people together? " As he spoke, the boatman looked at the four of them. Finally, his eyes fell on Jun murin's legs. "There's another one that's not sharp. One room is definitely not enough to live in. If you want more money, you'll have to have two. But in fact, there should be three rooms, one for husband and wife, and how can one man and one woman live? It looks like a servant. How about a squeeze

Murmur lowered his head, blushed slightly, and Luoxiu's expression was not very natural. White crane dye sighed, "we certainly can't afford to rent three rooms. It's really not good. I live in one room with my servant girl. Master will follow me to live in one room!"

Jun murin was also in a bit of a dilemma and asked her, "but madam, do we have enough money to rent two cabins?"

White crane dye shook his head, "it's not enough, but master don't worry, the car must have a way to the front of the mountain, we have to go back home anyway." After that, she raised her hand to stir in her ears and took down the two earrings. After thinking about it, he rolled off a jade bracelet on his wrist and handed it to the boatman. "Let's see, can these things make up for a cabin? We really don't have any silver on us. This earring is silver. It was given to me by my hometown last year. Although earrings are light in weight, they are better in style, so they will sell at a good price. And this bracelet, although it's not mingguiyu, but it's of good quality. How can it cost to rent a cabin. Brother, please, Tongrong Tongrong. "

The boatman took the things over, weighed them in his hand, and carefully checked their quality. When he saw that they were medium and superior materials as she said, he showed a smile: "OK, no problem, things can also be changed into money! Who has no difficulty going out! In this way, the two cabins opposite to the door are very close to the inner cabins where Mrs. Wai's wife lives. The value of those cabins is only much more than those of you. You are not at a loss. I'll send you two pots of tea every day. If you need hot water or something, you can come to me. My name is Pingzi. I'm responsible for delivering things to the cabins on board. "

The four quickly thanks, and murmur says a lot of good things. Then they say goodbye to Pingzi and go to the cabin.

The boat was very big. The white crane counted it. There were twelve inner cabins in it. In addition, there was a concentrated area with chairs for the passengers who could not afford to pay for the money in the cabins.

The innermost room is the largest. It's said that it's reserved for the lady of the member. It costs a lot to come here. Besides, the member must be well-known in zhangjiazhen. Otherwise, the boatman can't wait for their family to set sail at night.

In fact, the rooms were very small. There were two small beds in each room, which could sleep for one person. There was only enough space left for a table, a chair, and then a narrow aisle. There was no other space.

Baihecan thinks that it's good to have such a boat in this era. It's not a royal trip, nor a luxury boat that the families of senior officials can afford to rent. It's enough for ordinary people to have such a boat!They are now playing roles. If they don't show any flaws, they have to be more careful in details. For example, just having a dialogue with two boatmen is a part of the role play. She is not really poor, on the contrary, she is also very rich. The reason why she wants to do this is to give those who follow in secret a chance to judge, and let the other party make another analysis of their identity through these two rounds of dialogue. So bargaining should be natural, and selling miserably should be believed by everyone.

Who would have thought that the prince and Princess of the eastern Qin Dynasty would spend a long time with the boatman for a few taels of silver? Who would have thought that she could sell her earrings and jade bracelets in order to live in one more cabin?

In addition, she firmly believes that those who follow in secret will get the earrings and bracelets for inspection. She hopes that the other party will go to inspect them, because they are really not funny. She let people buy them casually on the street. Although it cost several liang of silver, they are too unattractive compared with her status as a gifted princess. She doesn't usually look at such things. Who would have thought that she would wear them on her ears and wrists this time.

This is the detail. Of course, for a long time today, this kind of detail has to be shown many times before it can be doubted.

There are only two rooms. She can only stay in the same room with Mo Yu, and Luoxiu can sleep in the same room with Jun murin. The two said goodbye at the door of the room. Bai hecan repeatedly told Luoxiu to take care of the master. Then he took the silent language back to his room.

The moment the door closed, they changed their mediocrity. Their eyes flashed sharp light at the same time. They stood with their backs against the cabin door, held their breath and listened to the outside carefully.

One after another, there were people on board, some heavy footed, some light footed, some young, middle-aged, some old and some children.

They heard children crying, their mother coaxing, their father scolding. They also heard someone bring wine up. The lid of the wine jar was not tightly covered and spilled all over the floor. The smell of wine immediately filled the cabin. It was not a good wine, but it was never mixed with water.

Soon, the noise stopped, and someone whispered, "Mrs. Yuanwai is on the boat."

Sure enough, the steps to get on the boat were relatively dignified and steady, and they didn't walk alone, but accompanied several servants to the innermost cabin. When passing by baihecan, baihecan smelled a faint fragrance of sweet scented osmanthus from the door of the cabin which was not too tight. I think it was the lady who liked the fragrance, and her clothes smoked the smell of sweet scented osmanthus.

As Mrs. Yuanwai boarded the ship, there was no one on board. Soon, the boatman yelled, and the ship started sailing.

"Sit down, miss!" "No one's watching us for the time being," he whispered. "Those people either don't get on the boat or don't live in the cabin next to us. We can take a breath for the time being."

White crane dyed straight waist, helpless way: "also can't carelessness, still have to pay more attention.". Besides, you can always call me Madame, so as to avoid any trouble when the young lady is heard again. "

"Yes, I remember, ma'am." Murmur helped her to sit on the small bed. As soon as she sat down, she frowned again. "This board is too hard. The mattress is so thin. How can it live?" As she said, she began to lift the mattress. Sure enough, the mattress was not as thick as her fingers, and the bed board was directly under it. Take another look at the only quilt on each bed. It's thick to thick, but it's very damp and sticky to the touch. It can't resist the cold. It's really covered with sleep. It's necessary to get sick.

Murmur really worried, "madam, what can we do? We have to walk from zhangjiazhen to Lancheng for at least one month. We can fool in one or two days, and make do in three or five days. But how can we sleep in this quilt for more than one month?" Murmur has never lived such a hard life. Although he has always been a slave, he works for a rich family. The rich people pay attention to the servants, and they have to support the appearance of the house, so their food and clothing are excellent. At present, I have to pretend to be poor when I am rich. I just know that the life of the poor is so hard. She is not afraid of hardship, but what about her young lady?

White crane dye see silent language mind, waved his hand, "I don't pay so much attention, there is a place to rest.". When I go out, I'm afraid of the cold on the road. I've brought a lot of pills to dispel the cold and fever. I'll give you a few of them by myself. After eating them, they will last at least seven to ten days, which is enough to get to LAN Cheng. "

Silent language this just relaxed heart, "so is the best, maidservant is afraid of miss too suffer, I'm ok, just a month, quite passed." She wanted to say something more, but suddenly she stopped, and the white crane's eyebrows picked.

Just then, there was a knock on the doo
