By the Xie family pond, Xie Huaiyu was sitting on the corridor drinking wine facing the moon.

Suddenly, Xiao Shu ran over slowly, holding a glowing cage and a piece of rags in his hand, and said, "Master, there was a knock at the door just now, and when Old Wang went to open the door, the person had already left, but the door Put this here, it looks like it was sent by little brother Bai."

Xie Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, and took the two things that Xiaoshu handed over.A cage, filled with many fireflies, glowing in the dark night, and a piece of rag.

He looked at the writing on the rag with fluorescent light, and laughed out loud: "The writing is really ugly."

But this guy can still write?This has greatly exceeded his expectations.

With that said, he handed the cage to Xiao Shu and said, "Tear down this cage."

Xiaoshu looked at the grass cage a little confused, so he carefully cut the grass with a knife.

The grass cage was broken, and the fireflies inside flew out one by one, and landed on the edge of the pond in the yard. The stars were like stars in the sky, twinkling and twinkling.

"It's so beautiful..." Xiaoshu was only a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, and he couldn't help admiring the dreamy scenery.

"Yeah, it's pretty..." Xie Huaiyu said, with a smile on his lips, he rolled up the rag, put it in his sleeve and put it away.

·

Fucheng is to the west of Baitang Village, and it takes more than half a day to walk from Baitang Village to Fucheng.

Bai Shu had to go back and forth to Fucheng in one day, so of course he couldn't walk there, so he could only choose to take the water and go to the county to take a boat.

As soon as it was daylight, Bai Shu turned over and got up, and before he had time to eat breakfast, he rushed towards the county seat.

He had inquired about it last time in the county seat. Every morning at three o'clock in the morning, there would be a ferry boat heading for Fucheng from the pier in the county. Now he set off and arrived at the pier just to catch up with the ferry boat in the county.

When he was approaching the door of Xie's house, he couldn't help but glanced at the door, wondering if Xie Huaiyu liked those fireflies?

Just as he was thinking, he discovered that the door of Xie's house had opened in the darkness, and a small figure in a coat came out yawning.

"Bai Shu." The figure called him from afar.

Only then did Bai Shu realize that it was Xiaoshu's voice, and when he walked in, it was indeed Xiaoshu standing at the door with an impatient expression on his face, holding a bag in his hand.

"Aren't you going to Fucheng?" Xiaoshu said, stuffing things into his hands, and then took out an azure-colored one less than three fingers wide to wipe his forehead and said: "The young master said, the people in Fucheng are so complicated, what do you use?" Brother's status is inconvenient, so it will be more convenient for you to carry this wipe with you."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but tie the forehead on Baishu's head.Looking at it again, seeing that Mo'e had just blocked the red mole between Bai Zhu's forehead, he clicked his tongue and said, "Very well, I'm going back to bed. By the way, I will lend you the Xie family's carriage, so you can go there earlier. "

After Xiaoshu finished speaking, he turned his head and walked back to the mansion, wishing he could lie down on the bed immediately.

Last night his young master told him to wait for Bai Zhu here early in the morning, and he didn't know when Bai Shu would come, so he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well.

In the morning, when the concierge reported the passing of Baishu, he rushed out immediately without even thinking about putting on his clothes, just to finish the matter that the young master told him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but slander in his heart.Fortunately, my young master was afraid that Bai Shu, a brother, would suffer in Fucheng. Looking at the way he beat someone yesterday, he didn't look like he would suffer.

When Xiao Shu left, Bai Shu stood at the door in a daze.

After a while, the Xie family's carriage drove out of the courtyard, and the driver lifted the curtain and said, "Brother Bai, come up quickly, I will take you to the county seat."

After getting into the carriage, Bai Shu was still a little smug.He opened the paper bag in his hand, and inside were two steaming fresh meat buns.

He finished the meat bun in his hand in a few bites, the bun was soft and soft, the meat was full and the skin was thin, it was better than the one he brought from Laifulou that day.

No wonder Xie Huaiyu didn't like the steamed buns she brought him!Bai Shu clasped his palms together and suddenly realized that the steamed stuffed buns made by Xie's family are even more delicious!

But that's not the point, he stroked his forehead with one hand... The corners of his mouth kept rising uncontrollably.

This forehead was given by Xie Huaiyu!Xie Huaiyu gave him something!He doesn't want to take it off for the rest of his life!

The Xie family's carriage was very fast, and within three quarters, the carriage arrived at the county pier.

Bai Shu got out of the car, and the driver turned around and left.

It was still early, but there was already a long queue near the ferry terminal.

Many villages and towns around here go to Fucheng every day.There were those who took their families with them and took chickens and geese with them, there were businessmen, there were students studying, and there were also young people who, like Bai Shu, looked like they were watching the scene.

Bai Shu was still at the end of the line when he first lined up. Not long after he stood up, many people stood behind him one after another.

When it was almost Mao time, several big men in blue jackets with the word "water" written on the back came out of the ferry.One of them came to the front of the line and charged from the first person.

The ferry fare from the county seat to Fucheng is five coins per person. If there are too many goods, there will be an extra charge.

The big man collected money all the way over, and met a few people who had no money and wanted to pass by.The big man next to him went straight up and dragged the man out of the line.

Not far in front of Baishu, a family of villagers who had been dragged out knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Please, sir, the fields at home are flooded, and we can't harvest food. Let's go to Fucheng to find a way to survive. "

Bai Shu was moved by the crying of the child, and was about to spend some money to help them.Then I heard the big man in the gown bawled and said: "Just you, who are you trying to trick into paying for you again? I have seen this deceptive trick a lot. Get out if you have no money, don't pretend to be here. Make a mockery."

As soon as he finished speaking, the family with children and daughters immediately fell silent and stopped crying.He stood up disheveledly, took out a bunch of copper coins, counted them to the big man, and then stood back in the line with the child in his arms.

Bai Shu: "..."

He probably knew what Xie Huaiyu meant when he said that the people in Fucheng were complicated...

At three o'clock in Maoshi, Bai Shu and Yi Yaoren lined up to board the ferry.

In a short while, hundreds of people including various cargoes and poultry were crowded together in the small cabin.

There are too many people in the cabin, and there is an unpleasant smell of urine.Bai Shu felt uncomfortable from the smoke, so she got up and walked onto the deck.

At this time, there were quite a few people standing on the deck, most of them were leaning on the side of the ship with numb faces, but it was better than in the cabin.

Bai Shu leaned on the side of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.

This river is not too wide. There are many boats and fishing boats on both sides of the river. It is the main trunk of the small river in Baitang Village.

Besides this ferry boat, Bai Shu also saw several taller and more magnificent boats on the river.

Among them is a passenger ship not far from them, with a unicorn carved on the bow, glazed tile houses on the ship, lanterns under the eaves, and extremely complicated patterns on the windows.

The faint sound of playing the piano and the melodious singing voice of the woman came from the boat. When the two boats crossed, Bai Shu looked at the opposite side.

Several aristocrats were sitting on the boat drinking and having fun, headed by a young man in black clothes, and beside them were a few singers or elder brothers, all dressed in silk and satin, and the table was full of inexhaustible food. unlimited.

All the people on the deck looked at those noble gentlemen, but there was no envy in their eyes, but a kind of numbness of being unmoved.

A young man in Tsing Yi casually tore off the chicken leg from the plate and threw it to a black dog at his feet.

A skinny boy next to Bai Zhu saw it, smacked his lips, and swallowed.Pulling his mother's sleeve, he said, "Mom, I want to eat too..."

"What to eat, you don't have that life." His mother gave him a numb head.

The boy stopped making a sound, and stared straight at the dog with a pair of eyes.

Bai Shu was a little emotional. He had only been in the Xuan Dynasty for a few days, but he found that most of the poor people here were very numb, as if they were used to this kind of life, and never wanted to change anything.

And those sons on the big boat, they don't know why they are so extravagant and lustful.The cost of food and clothing is several grades more extravagant than Xie Huaiyu, the earl's son.

When he thought about it, he felt that Xie Huaiyu was good.

Thinking back when he was hungry and fainted on the road, it was Xie Huaiyu who gave him food with his own hands.Later, every time he entered Xie's house, the other party was either practicing calligraphy or reading a book, and he was far and wide with these dandies who only knew about lewd pleasures.

Touching the forehead on his head, Bai Shu's face was a little reddish, as expected, the male he liked was the best and kindest!

After the boat sailed for only an hour, a bustling pier was finally visible in front of it.

The speed of the ferry slowed down, approaching the shore, Bai Shu got up to get off the boat, finally arrived at Fucheng.

It was the first time for many people on the ferry to come to a big city, and they were stunned by the sight before they got off the boat.

Compared with the county seat, the wharf in Fucheng is much larger, and there are also many ships docking.

They went ashore with the cargo ship on the west side of the pier, where a mountain of cargo was piled up on the shore, all of which were unloaded from the holds of various cargo ships.

Bai Shu followed among the crowd disembarking, and walked down calmly.

He is quite satisfied with the size of Fucheng, this place still looks like a big city.There are naturally many opportunities to make money.

For example, right by the pier, many small vendors surrounded it, and even formed a large commercial street.

In addition to selling all kinds of food, there are also those selling various specialties.Some vendors even set up their stalls with their goods as soon as they got off the boat.

Half a street to the west of the pier sells all kinds of grains, oils, rice noodles, vegetables and meat.This is also the largest market in the entire Fucheng. Most people in the city buy their daily food on this street.

The half street to the east of the pier sells things that are completely different from this side.

The docks on the east side of the pier are generally rich people's passenger or private boats.

Because there are many sons and servants of rich people passing by, the shops on this half street are more high-end.

In addition to some large restaurants and inns, there are also shops for fabrics, tea, leather goods, and porcelain.

Every shop is full of people and goods.Sometimes when a merchant negotiates a price, the shopkeeper will wave his hand and call in two helpers to pack the goods and carry them to the pier for transport, which is extremely convenient.

After Bai Shu got off the boat, he immediately saw the three-story Laifu Restaurant not far from the pier.

He has long heard that there is also a Jialaifu restaurant in Fucheng, and the scale is larger than that in the county.It was not even noon at this time, and there was already a constant stream of people at the door of Laifu Restaurant.

Bai Shu thought for a while, then went straight in, to compare the prices, it is easier to compare two restaurants with the same dishes.

This restaurant has three floors and is built in the most conspicuous position. At the current time, the seats on the first floor are almost full.

Bai Shu had no choice but to go up to the second floor and find a corner seat to sit down.

It was only then that he noticed that the young masters on the big boat just got off the boat at some point, and they were sitting at the table by the window on the second floor, drinking tea while observing the surrounding environment curiously.

The author has something to say: Baishu: Xie Huaiyu from my family is the purest, like a white lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained.
