Chapter 254 Love at first sight
This shipman had prepared a case opposite the Song Dynasty, but he could only cross the river and could not go down the river. If he moved east along the Wei River, he could go straight to Tongguan, change the boat in Tongguan, and go north along the Yellow River and arrive at Taiyuan Prefecture, which is the imperial city of the Northern Han Dynasty.
"Brother Sun, let's go to Chencang City first and have a good rest, how about it?" Zhao Chongyan suggested. He wanted to see the scenery of the north. By the way, Chencang is very famous. When Liu Bang left Shu, he built a plank road openly and secretly visited Chencang, which was here.
"No, I will get the certificate later and change the ship owner immediately. When we arrive at Tongguan, let's have a good rest." Sun Yu refused directly. Next, he was on the Wei River and took a boat ride, so he could rest well. When he arrived at Tongguan, he would take a good walk and make the business and travel style.
Zhao Chongyan felt quite uncomfortable, and Sun Yu was too embarrassed.
"Where are you going?" The ferry clerk picked up the three of them's vouchers and checked them carefully. There was no problem. Anyway, it was normal for business travelers to go in non-war periods.
"Jinzhou!" Sun Yu immediately replied. Jinzhou borders Northern Han. When he arrives in Jinzhou, he will find a way to go north to Northern Han.
"What are you going to Jinzhou?" The little official immediately became alert. This Shu Kingdom went to Jinzhou, which bordered the Northern Han Dynasty, and it was a bit strange.
"I want to get a batch of fur goods. I heard that Jinzhou is cheap, so I'm going to take a look." Sun Yu had already thought of the reason. Jinzhou is basically the closest place to the grassland, and there is plenty of fur goods.
"I'll drive you to Tongguan first. When you arrive at Tongguan, you will go through the procedures." The little official was a little hesitant, and it was more stable to do this. Tongguan is a mighty pass in the world. Not to mention three people, there is no way to go if 30,000 people go.
"Sir, please give me some convenience. When we went to Tongguan, we were both disgusted. We were not familiar with the place. The government did not say anything about entering the house." Sun Yu hid a ingot of silver on his cuff and handed it to him. The investigation in Tongguan must be stricter than here. If you want to do something in the government, it doesn't matter, so you have to use the silver to smash it.
"Okay, I went to Jinzhou and do business honestly. Come back as soon as possible, don't cause trouble." The clerk weighed the silver ingot in his hand, which was twenty taels and stuffed it directly into the cuff. His position was a fat man, and he had to give it to him every month. The money he got was not allowed to be let go of in vain.
Sun Yu thanked him very much, and took the certificate to greet the two of them together, and went directly to the river to find a boat.
The ferry on the Song Dynasty is much more lively, and all kinds of ships are parked at the docks in turn, and signs are hung on the cabins of each ship.
"Chen Cang arrives at Tongguan, Brother Sun, there." Yang Chuang shouted, pointing to a larger two-story passenger ship.
"Let's go and ask." Sun Yu also saw it. The ship is larger, it must be more comfortable and safer.
"Oh, three guests, do you want to take a boat?" The boss of the boat was waiting for the passengers while smoking a dry cigarette. When he saw the three of them coming over, put down their cigarette pipes and asked.
"Boatman, how much does it cost to go to Tongguan?" Sun Yu walked forward and bowed his hand. As for the other two, they stood behind Sun Yu and served as guards.
"That's right, it depends on the needs of the judges. A room on the second floor costs ten taels, and a room on the first floor costs seven taels. For meals, it is usually a day for one person, three coins of silver, and you three only have one taels of silver a day. How about it?" The boss of the boat replied. These are all market prices. The second floor is clean, the moisture is lighter, and the vision is wide. It is the favorite of rich people, so of course it is more expensive.
"Why do we have to pay more for food? Shouldn't it be cheaper for three people to travel with us?" Sun Yu was a little puzzled. Why did we have more people and we have to pay more?
"Call, look at these two people behind you,
At first glance, he is a martial artist. How can he eat more than ordinary people? The old man must be full and can't let you be hungry. One tael of silver is really not much." The boss of the ship shook his head. One tael of silver is considered to be a small amount. This is because they have a long journey and the ship's money is not bad.
"It makes sense, so let's live in a room on the first floor." Sun Yu nodded. It's just that, if you eat more, you should collect more.
"Ah? This, you're sure?" The boss of the boat was confused. Why did the three big men squeeze in one room? At most, two guards squeeze in, and two rooms are always needed.
"Is there any problem?" Sun Yu was stunned. They also took a boat many times in Shu. It was okay to live in that room with three people.
"This is not as small as an inn on the boat. The room is relatively small. It is not suitable for three people to go up and take a look. The three guests may as well follow me to take a look and then make a decision." The boss of the boat raised his foot to the deck and asked them to follow.
The room on the first floor is just an ordinary bed, so it is barely enough for two people to sleep. There is a small table next to it, leaning against the window, able to write and draw. In addition, there is only a two-foot-wide aisle.
Sun Yu shook his head when he saw it. Although they were dressed in Shu, the boat was still on the official boat. The official boat usually didn't crowd too many people, and the rooms were all made to the larger ones. Unexpectedly, this private passenger boat was so crowded.
"Then let's have two rooms, how much money will be paid first? When will we set off?" Sun Yu calculated that he had a lot of cash. But as a merchant, he kept them for purchases, and the guards also lived in a single room, which was too luxurious.
"Thirty taels, when you arrive at Tongguan, all the remaining silver will be returned. The ship will definitely be issued today. The guest official does not need to worry, just wait patiently. While there is still time, the guest official can also go to the ferry market to visit. You can buy what you need." The boss of the ship was in a good mood and went out two rooms at once. He had already lived in most of the rooms on the ship. This trip was sure to make a profit. The market was not big. Before the ship was opened, if someone had not boarded the ship, he would ask someone to go to the market to find it, and he would never leave it.
"No need, let's take a break here and run around the road, and I'm really tired." Sun Yu tried his best to make himself look like a business traveler, not an official.
"Yes, this is the key. You have it done. When you get off the boat, you can use the key to get the money back." The boss of the ship handed over the room key and continued to smoke at the bow of the boat. If he could take a few more guests, he would make a lot of money this time.
"Come to my room for a while." Sun Yu said to the two of them when the boss of the boat went out, and then entered the room.
"Old Zhao, go and make a pot of hot water and soak your feet." Sun Yu has a hobby, which is to soak your feet in hot water. Even if the weather is hot, soak your feet will be better than a living god.
"I'll go, your mother~" Zhao Chongyan cursed in his heart. I was a general in the military camp, and I was a general of all ages. When did I do such a job as serving people? But now I have no choice but to bend down and pick up the wooden basin from under the bed and go out.
When I first got on the boat, I saw the stove on the bow of the boat burning vigorously, and all the passengers on the boat could go to get hot water.
Zhao Chongyan first took some cold water from the river, then mixed the hot water and brought it back to the room. I don’t know whose maid was upstairs, and was waiting behind him. Zhao Chongyan wanted to lift the deck and get in. It was too embarrassing. He was a seven-foot man with martial arts skills, so he actually wanted to do such a thing as serving people. It was really frustrating.
"What's the thing? It's too cold. Add some hot water." Sun Yu put his feet inside, but it was a little warm, and there was no feeling of soaking hot water at all.
"I'll go." Yang Qin felt that Zhao Chongyan was about to explode
It was blown up, and now everyone is in the same boat through thick and thin. If something really happens, they will have to finish playing. They quickly pick up the basin and walk out.
"Brother Sun, why do you only have two rooms? We don't lack that little money." Zhao Chongyan was very upset. When Sun Yu only had two rooms, he almost couldn't hold it in and jumped up.
"A businessman, what you pay attention to is to be very careful. The guards still have to live in a single room? Remember your current identity, my guard. If something goes wrong, they will die." Sun Yu said in a low voice. His words were righteous, but in fact, they never meant to lose their fat. The money paid by Lord Wang Zhaoyuan was all on him, and if there was anything left, it was his.
"I'm sleepy, so I'll go back to my room to rest first." Zhao Chongyan bowed and went back to his room.
Both rooms are close to the stairs, because the sound of going up and down the stairs is louder, they are usually left. Sun Yu and his group of three people came late, so they naturally lived here.
Sun Yu was in a bad mood when he left the door. He lowered his head and prepared to go to the deck to take a breath before going back.
"Ah~" Sun Yu collided with the previous maid in his arms, and even the hot water spilled out less, and the little maid screamed loudly.
"Zhao is reckless, please forgive me." Zhao Chongyan quickly apologized. If this is heavier and knocked over the hot water, it would be troublesome.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Hearing the maid's movement, a woman upstairs poked out half of her body from the stairs and asked below.
Zhao Chongyan just looked up and could no longer look away. If there was love at first sight in this world, it was now. Zhao Chongyan suddenly felt that if he would die for a woman in this life, it must be the one in front of him.
"Miss, this person is too rude and hit me." The maid named Xiaoxiao complained. This person is so powerful. The collision just now really hurts.
"It's not intentional. You, come up quickly." The woman felt that it was just an accident, and there was no need to mind too much. As a result, when she saw Zhao Chongyan's gaze, she was suddenly embarrassed. She was so straight-eyed that she was too rude and turned back to the room.
"Does it look good?" Yang Shiqi looked at Zhao Chongyan with steaming water. He saw it just now. It was indeed beautiful.
"It looks good!" Zhao Chongyan pointed his head straight. It was not called good-looking, so the word "good-looking" would have no place to use it.
"It's useless to look good. Don't mention our current status, even if we were the ones before, there was no chance. When this person saw it, he was a lady from a family. The maid just now wore good brocade, which was three points better than my wife's." Yang Zin shook his head. The toad wanted to eat swan meat, which only made him worry.
"Would you rather have a genital seed?" Zhao Chongyan murmured to himself.
During dinner, Zhao Chongyan deliberately ate very slowly, thinking that he could take a look at him again, even if he had just one look, it would be worth it.
As a result, they never came down. They asked Xiaoxiao's maid to come down to pick it up. The food was much better than that of them. It should be specially made by the boatman.
"Be alert tonight, don't be careless." Xiaoxiao held the food and said by the man who passed by a table. These were her lady's guards.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoxiao, who dares not open your eyes? I'll kill him." It was probably the head of the guard. He said, turning his head to look at Zhao Chongyan.
Zhao Chongyan almost couldn't hold it in his arms and stood up and sucked him to death. Zhao Chongyan had been through the battlefield many times, and had been struggling with a big soldier until now, but he was ignored by several watchdogs.
