Quickly spit out the dragon god's pregnant fruit

Indeed, as Bai Jiao said, the next few days will be cloudy and rainy.The temperature continued to drop, and there was no greeting. One day, ice particles fell, and a thin layer of ice formed on the river, which would shatter when touched.

After that, it became warm and cold, and the ice layer froze and melted.

This is a sign of Wen Fengjiang.

It's not too far from the day when it's completely icy and can't sail.

Coupled with the vortex from time to time, Boss Bai informed the sailors that it is best not to enter the river again.

We rely on water to eat water, and we already have ways to deal with various situations.

When it was still possible to enter the river, we fished more fish to marinate, and still did some crossing work, but we decided not to carry people far.

When the ice surface is a little hard and it is difficult to sail, the boatman will fish in cages on the shore.

Those who want to go to work on the other side of the river also found relatives and friends in Baisha Town to stay temporarily for a while, waiting for the river to be completely closed, and then go back and forth when the river is passable.

Now at the end of October, the ice sometimes freezes and sometimes melts, which is the time when it is still possible to enter the river, but it is best not to enter the river for sailing.

Xiao Lian may not have entered the river for a long time.

That day Bai Jiao opened his mouth and allowed Xiao Lian to follow the general ledger to study literature and calculation.He cherishes this opportunity very much, how could he enter the river in such bad weather.

He stayed in the compound every day during the day, followed Gui Ledger, and bowed to ask for advice from time to time.

At night, he went back to light the lamp and boil oil to review what he had learned during the day. Although it was colder at night, there was a charcoal basin in the guest room, so he never shrank from writing.

Only recently, seeing that his eyes were turning red, Bai Jiao ordered him to cut down his lamp oil, telling him to cherish the daylight more.

Like cotton absorbing water, he learned quickly.

Now, the general ledger has begun to teach him to record some simple accounts.

In contrast, Bai Jiao is very lazy.

He especially missed Maodong, and more than once wanted to cast a spell to order the Baisha River to be closed immediately. Without those many things, the latter failed to do so under the persuasion of Xiao Lian and his men.

Fishermen and clam farmers have their own living arrangements, and it is the stage of fishing and pickling in full swing. If the river is closed instantly, this winter will be a bit difficult.

About his mother's whereabouts, Bai Jiao's subordinates had two more reports.

Bai Jiao was unwilling to do this, but he still insisted on watching.

But every time it turned out to be nothing but joy, and it was always not the mother, which made Xiao Lian a little at a loss.

People in the world know how to draw portraits, but he can't draw.

Besides, 16 years have passed, and his mother's face must be different from that of the past. He is sure that if he meets him, he will recognize his mother, but it is too difficult to draw a portrait of her.

People don't like to move around in winter, so the possibility of him finding his mother will be even slimmer.

Once the river is closed, I am afraid that the whole winter will be like this.Being able to study literature is his dream, and he should cherish it.

But with a lifespan of less than two years, he couldn't find his mother, so he was inevitably a little anxious.

"Crack." This is the sound of the ruler clapping on the hand.

"Are you still learning or not? What's wrong with you? Look, there is a leak in this account, recalculate it again, and there must be no omissions." Guiqing looked like a master with an air and anger.

"Yes." Xiao Lian regained his composure and continued to settle the score with his heart.

However, the next moment, some noisy voices came from outside the house.

"Hey, isn't your place the biggest pier? I heard that Boss Bai is still very powerful, and he doesn't even have a boat that can be launched now?" His voice was loud and arrogant, and he sounded like a young man.

There are not many people who dare to speak like this in Baisha Town and nominate Bai Jiao.

Xiao Lian couldn't help looking out the window.

I saw that the man was about the same age as himself, and was dressed in fine clothes.Holding a stove in his hand, he also wore a large cloak.Beside him, a woman was holding an umbrella to cover him from the light rain.

It seems that he is a noble son, and it is raining lightly, and there is no one who comes and goes with an umbrella except him.

The woman beside him should be his maidservant.

"Knowing that our Boss Bai is powerful, please pay attention to your tone. This is not your home, and you won't be spoiled. Want to go into the water, right? Ask the boatman, what are you doing here?"

Those rowers didn't know why they were crazy, and they refused to take them for a ride with money.In such a cold day, what kind of wind can a row of small broken boats block.He is not what he used to be now, so don't suffer from the cold again.

"I don't like that broken boat. I'm the son of Lord Hou. Have you seen this ingot of gold? Whoever has a good boat that can take us to Jiangcheng, this ingot of gold will be his." The man said proudly.

Xiao Lian found it interesting.

Bai Jiao treats his subordinates well, none of them are short of money, they really look down on this ingot of gold.

Sure enough, the man choked hard.

"Master Hou? I thought you were arrogant. I didn't expect you to be stingy for only one ingot of gold? You still want to go to Jiangcheng, do you send the beggar?"

The surrounding men also laughed.

"You! You!" The man was stunned angrily. He had never seen anyone who didn't take gold seriously.

The woman beside him patted him softly, and said slowly: "Chen'er, I'll come."

This word, this voice!

Shocked, Xiao Lian stood up abruptly from his seat and took down the ledger beside him, causing the general ledger to chatter endlessly.

Xiao Lian didn't care about these anymore, he left the desk abruptly, opened the door and strode towards the woman.

16 years, is that her?

Before Xiao Lian got there, he only listened to the man's words and pointed the finger at the woman.

"What Chen'er, I am Jiang Chen, the future Lord Marquis. Lin Niang, you are a mere servant, and you call me by my first name?" Jiang Chen arrogantly vented his anger on that woman.

"Yes, I know I was wrong." Lin Niang still held the umbrella firmly for Jiang Chen, but quietly lowered her eyes.

"Looking for a boat is in itself the work of servants. I have nothing to say with these servants. Come here."

"Yes." Lin Niang replied with a low eyebrow.

Then, she apologized to everyone before everyone around her got angry.

"Brothers, my master is just in a hurry to find a boat. He has always been so clumsy and has no malicious intentions."

People around curled their lips, no one believed it, but no one said anything.

People are waiting to hear what Lin Niang can say.If he is also like his master, let's fight together.

Lin Niang said: "We are in a hurry to go to Jiangcheng, but when the boatmen by the river heard that they were going to Jiangcheng, they all waved their hands and asked us to hire another Gao Ming. May I ask why?"

Xiao Lian stepped forward: "Auntie should understand the truth. There are two roads to Jiangcheng from here, one is dry road, and to cross two mountains, you have to walk and add a carriage. The other is water road, which is fast and fast. It saves effort. That's why my aunt wants to hire a boatman."

"It's just that my aunt doesn't know that under the current weather, the river may be closed after a heavy snowfall. No one dares to guarantee that they will be able to come back in time if they go by themselves. If they are stranded in Jiangcheng, the boat will not come back, and the people will be difficult." Return. At that time, the boatman will be with the boat all winter, away from home with his young wife and children, and they will not be able to reunite even during the Chinese New Year, which will be too difficult."

Lin Niang muttered for a while, but she still cast a look of pleading help at Xiao Lian: "Having said that, is it really not accommodating? My master is in a hurry, as long as we are sent to Jiangcheng in time, we can pay more .Brother, can you help me?"

Before Xiao Lian could answer, Gui Qing, who was chasing after her, interjected: "Xiao Lian, don't be soft-hearted and agree, don't you know how to settle accounts now, you should know whether this deal is worth it or not."

Yes, can you not know if it’s a good deal or not?Lin Niang in front of him has a voice that is very familiar to him, and her face is a little older than 16 years ago. The scald on the back of the left hand holding the umbrella was burnt to protect herself from falling into the brazier that year. from.

After 16 years of absence, before she died, how could it be uneconomical to spend one more year in the place where she was?

Besides, finding my mother, repaying the gift of childbearing, and asking myself to never owe her again, isn't it my last wish?

My mother must have had a bad life for so many years, so she became someone else's slave. If I can buy my mother's deed of sale from her master and give her a free body, I will surely be able to repay my mother's kindness.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Xiao Lian took a deep breath and said every word.

"Xiao Lian! Don't forget what the boss said!" Xie Bai also objected.

Among the people present, who didn't know that the boss told Xiao Lian to stay away from his sight?
