Shu Blossoms

Chapter 390
The scorching sun, the Qinhuai River only occasionally blows a trace of hot and humid wind in the afternoon, making it stuffy and hot on the face.

The fishing boat that Zheng Wei and Mu Wu were on stopped in front of another larger dilapidated fishing boat, and Mu Wu walked to the bow and said loudly: "Business is coming, is the boss of the boat here?"

Not long after, a dark-skinned, muscular man wearing patched shorts and a straw hat came out from the opposite boat. He looked Mu Wu up and down and asked, "What business is it?"

Mu Wu didn't directly explain the purpose of coming, but looked at the visitor with his arms crossed, and said indifferently: "Since it's about business, we can't talk until we see the head of the family."

The strong man was not annoyed when he heard the words, he turned around and went back into the boat, Zheng Wei looked at Mu Wu suspiciously, and Mu Wu gave her a calm look.

Not long after, the strong man came out again and said, "The head of the house let you come on board."

Mu Wu took a look at Zheng Wei, and jumped onto the opposite boat first, Zheng Wei then jumped up and landed lightly, her neat skills attracted everyone on the boat to look at her.

Zheng Wei also glanced at them curiously, followed Mu Wu into the cabin.

The cabin was much more spacious than the boat they were on before, and a piece of sunlight shone in from the outside and fell on the deck, and one could see the dust billowing as they walked.

Zheng Wei squinted his eyes and saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting in the shadow of the cabin with a big face. The man who brought them in bent over and walked in front of him and said in a low voice: "Boss, people brought them in." Already!"

The middle-aged man stood up and walked out from the shadows. He stopped not far from them to look at Mu Wu, and asked tentatively, "Which way is your lord? Why did you bring a girl?"

"Master Zhao Wu was able to spend so long on the Qinhuai River. He must not be a curious person. Could it be that he doesn't want to do our business?"

Mu Wuli said that he was not familiar with Zhao Wuye, but he still felt that there was something wrong with the other party's attitude.

The boss of the boat, Zhao Wuye, knew that the identity of the visitor was unusual, especially the girl who was dressed as a maid beside her, but her eyes were sharp and unstoppable at such a young age. Not to mention that there is no girl who can have such a heart, even ordinary people's lords are afraid. Also rare.

But he also knows the rules, his outspoken questioning just now is already breaking the rules, and he knows that people like himself who are living in the water cannot afford to offend the other party.

He hurriedly put away the serious expression on his face, and showed a smile that he thought was quite 'friendly', "don't worry, my lords, it's just that a stranger came to the water in the past two days, and a woman stretched out her hand just like this girl Well, Zhao couldn't hold back for a while, so he talked too much."

"Who is it?" Zheng Wei heard Zhao Wuye say that a woman skilled in martial arts came to the water, her first reaction was Miao Er, and she couldn't help asking.

Zhao Wuye looked at Mu Wu, saw that he had no objection, then turned to Zheng Wei and replied: "Zhao doesn't know who those people are, but I just saw them flying up like a girl just now, effortlessly Jump in the boat and remember better."

Then he quickly changed the topic, "I don't know what kind of business the two adults are going to do. Could it be that they are looking for someone?"

"It's just looking for people!" Mu Wu took over the conversation, and then glanced at Zheng Wei, Zheng Wei took out the portrait of Miao'er that he drew last night from his arms and handed it to Fifth Master Zhao.

"Is that the woman you're talking about?" Mu Wu asked Zhao Wuye holding the portrait carefully and asked.

"It's hard to say," Mr. Zhao Wu shook his head, "It looks a bit similar, but I only saw the back, and I'm not sure if I don't see the face. But as long as that person is still in the water, I can definitely find her out!"

Zhao Wuye patted his chest to reassure, and then showed a slightly obsequious smile, "I just don't know how much the two adults can give, after all, it takes a lot of brothers to find someone!"

"How much do you want?" Mu Wu clasped his fists again, looked up at him and asked.

"One hundred bucks!" Zhao Wuye stretched out a finger and stared at Mu Wu with wide eyes. In fact, he was a little uncertain, and he dared to speak loudly.

It was Zheng Wei's first time dealing with these people, she had no experience, so she didn't know if the price was fair, and she was always calculating and searching for money, and she didn't care about money.

Mu Wu paused and saw that Zheng Wei had no objection, and said rather resolutely: "If you can find someone or news before midnight, you will get a hundred bucks, and you will be halved for one day of delay!"

Mr. Zhao Wu clapped his rough hands and said with a big smile, "Success! The two adults are straightforward, and Mr. Zhao will do his best! But if there is any news, how can I contact you?"

"Zi Shi has someone looking for you!" After Mu Wu finished speaking, he took Zheng Wei away.

After they left, the strong and strong man on the fishing boat came to Zhao Wuye's side, and said strangely: "Uncle, why does this lord look so polite to that maidservant instead?"

Zhao Wuye gave him a stern look, and warned him: "You shouldn't know about these noble people, so you can live a long life! Go and tell everyone that you are here to live!"

The strong man didn't dare to ask again after being scolded, so he hurriedly jumped off the boat to deliver the message.

Zheng Wei followed Mu Wu back to the original fishing boat, the boatman moored the boat at the original place, and saw that Liu Pozi was already waiting there with Xing'er, Zheng Wei who saw the bow couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and slapped his thigh , Opening his mouth, he scolded the boatman, "Hey, you bastard, why did you still drive the boat away? If this kidnaps our Taoer, will our wife blame you for it later?"

Then when Zheng Wei jumped off the boat with a basket of fish, Mrs. Liu threw a few big coins to the boatman, grabbed Zheng Wei and walked ashore muttering, she didn't let go until she got into the donkey cart, and looked at him embarrassingly. Looking at Zheng Wei, Xing'er also turned pale with fright.

Zheng Wei took Granny Liu's hand and squeezed it vigorously, comforting them softly, "I'm sorry, I was reckless and made Mammy and Sister Xing'er worry. Don't worry about me being fine."

Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, lowered her voice and said softly: "Will the Princess come back to the mansion with us?"

"It's still the same as when he left the mansion, so as not to arouse others' suspicion." Zheng Wei also said in a low voice.

In Wuyi Lane across the river from them, the patriarchs of the noble families shook their heads one after another and left the Wang's mansion.

They had complained a little that His Majesty was showing mercy to their families, but they were choked by Wang Boxiu's light words.

"If any family doesn't want to suffer this loss, they can give this quota to our Wang family. My Wang family has many promising children."

Wang Boxiu looked at the crowd leisurely, as if hoping that one of them would give up the opportunity.

They stopped talking immediately, and after a long time, someone spoke again, "Brother Wang, there is nothing Wen Yuan can do? It only said that the child in the family should be an official, and it didn't say what position it is. In the end, you will have to take care of Wen Yuan." take care of"

"Yeah yeah"

Others nodded in agreement.

"Wen Yuan only left one sentence." Wang Boxiu sighed, and told everyone what Wang Can said yesterday, "This time, the selection is only about the identity, not the identity!"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, but Wang Boxiu refused to say more, stood up and said, "I also have to go and see the children of each family, and choose the two most suitable ones."

Everyone knew that this was a eviction, so they could only say goodbye and leave.
