Lucky not to forget

Chapter 28 Yubo Xiangfei Ferry

Seventeen or eight days have passed since the three black-covered boats sailed down the Yangtze River, and when they approached Jianmen Pass, they had to berth at a wharf due to the heavy rain.

Wu Wang leaned against the short table under the window to read a book, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the boat was deafening, he couldn't calm down for a while, turned to look at Liu Er, she had never been on a boat, and she had been fainted since the day she boarded the boat. Terrible, spit out bile, and now I don't need her to serve her, I just asked two little girls to serve her, and sometimes Wu Wang would serve her tea and water, under the care of her, she got better in the past two days, but people Still sick.

A woman outside ran from the pier with a waxed paper umbrella, did not enter the cabin, and only said through the curtain, "Girl, the third master said that he has not rested for several days. I think the girl is also tired. I am afraid it will rain for two days." , These two days, I will stay here at Xiangfei Ferry. The girl and Miss Liu'er can go ashore for a walk when the rain is lighter. There is a small market in front of them. There is everything to eat and drink. The third master went to visit the wine shop first, girl. If you want to change land for two nights, that’s fine too.”

Don't look at the old lady's skirt completely wet, and said, "Mother Zhou, come in and talk, carefully catch the cold."

Mrs. Zhou laughed and said, "Thank you for your sympathy. We are used to being servants in the mud and water. It doesn't matter. We didn't have to wet the cabin when we came in. Let's rest for a while, the noon meal has already been called to the shop. It's ready, I'll send it later."

Wu Wang said, "Got it, you can go."

Mrs. Zhou sang a blessing and went back to the shore.Hearing her leave, Liu'er stood up and pouted, "Then Mrs. Zhou was talking about me? What 'I'm used to being in mud and water', she clearly said I'm delicate."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "You should take good care of it, what are you doing with so much attention!" Looking out through the window again, the raindrops the size of sparrow eggs hit the water surface, and the water droplets stirred up were more than half a foot high. The sky was overcast, the wind was strong, and the boat was swaying. Don't worry about it, for fear that if another gust of wind blows, the boat will capsize.

At this time, Xie Jin's relatives brought a small sedan chair with an oil tent, boarded the boat and bowed, "Miss, let's get on the sedan chair. Let's go to the inn to rest. It's raining, and the water is too humid. Hurt your body."

The servant girl on the servant boat came to hold an umbrella for Wu Wang in a coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and brought another set of rain gear for Liu'er to put on. A group of people surrounded Wu Wang and boarded the sedan chair, and ran all the way to the inn in Jishang. Wang missed Liu'er again, lifted the curtain and looked out, Liu'er was walking like flying, and smiled at her, "It's good to step on the mud."

When the group arrived at the inn, Xie Wei had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Wu Wang got off the sedan chair, she hurriedly beckoned her in, saying, "It's better on the shore. The wind is so strong, and it's very unsafe in the boat." Then he asked the attendant. Said, "Can the cable be fastened? It's troublesome if the boat is blown away by the wind."

The attendant said, "I've seen it all, it's tied very tightly, don't worry, sir."

Xie Chen looked down at his niece and said, "Chun'er, the guest room is booked, go up and rest, I'll send someone to bring the food."

Wuwang nodded, and was helped up the stairs by the maid, only halfway there when Xie Yu said in surprise, "Ren Qianhu, why are you here?"

Wuwang looked back, a middle-aged man in mourning clothes clasped his fists at Xie Chen and said, "I am entering Shu this time, my mother passed away, and I went home to serve Ding You for three years."

He didn't want to listen to what was said later, and was directly led by Xiao Er to the upper room on the second floor, changed his clothes and lay on the couch, sighing in his heart, it is really comfortable on land!After a while, I gradually felt sleepy, and I heard the servant girl faintly say, "Is the girl asleep?"

Liu'er put up a big scarf for her and said, "I think she's tired, let her go to sleep first, it won't be too late to eat after dinner."

Wu Wang hooked the corners of his mouth, and fell asleep peacefully.

Walking into a forest in a daze, the forest is filled with thick fog, and there is no one around, but it seems that you can hear the sound of horseshoes and swords, and you are suspicious, and a person walks from the depths of the fog, wearing a big-breasted robe with five bats holding longevity , looking at her with hands behind his back and smiling Yanyan, she squinted her eyes to see that it was Pei Zhen who came!When she was overjoyed, she had a thousand words to say to him in her heart, and when she was about to go forward, an arrow was shot from nowhere, and it hit him right between the eyebrows, and blood gushed out from the arrow feather, and she suddenly felt... Heartbroken, he cried out, thinking only in his mind: He didn't even say a word to me!He stretched out his hand to pull him, but he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He was in a daze for a while, and when he tried to find him again, he saw his mother standing by the lake, and shouted to her with a hideous face, "Nie Zhan, what are you doing here! Go back! She bluffed and woke up with a jelly.

At this time, Liu'er said beside her, "Finally woke up, the girl can sleep now? She was crying and shouting."

Wu Wang sat up slowly, his chest was still in pain, he touched his face, a thin layer of sweat dripped out, and said in a hoarse voice, "I had a dream."

Liu'er cleaned her face and asked, "What dream is it?"

Wu Wang got up and poured tea, sat at the table and said calmly, "I dreamed that Mr. Pei died, and I also dreamed of my mother."

Liu'er was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "People say that dreams are reversed. The girl must be thinking about Mr. Pei so much that she would have such a dream. How could such a man with great powers die?"

He said that life and death are unpredictable, could it be that there is danger at this time, or is he really dead?Wu Wang was just thinking wildly, and his head started to ache. Seeing her rubbing her temples, Liu'er said, "Do you have a headache? I slept for too long, and I'm going to have dinner later."

At this time, Mrs. Zhou asked through the door, "Miss Liu'er, did our girl wake up?"

Liu'er replied, "Wake up, let mom come in."

Mrs. Zhou opened the door and came in with a smile, "The third master met an old acquaintance, and asked the girl to go down to meet the guests during dinner. He said that it was the same year as the old aunt, and the girl also recognized her. His wife heard that the girl was also there, so she insisted on meeting her." The girl just woke up, I think she is still in a daze, let's sit for a while, and I will call them to clean up the girl when it's almost time."

Wuwang nodded and said, "Thank you mom, I have caused you a lot of trouble here, I'm really sorry." As he said that, he gave Liu'er a wink, and Liu hurriedly took a sling of money and put it in Mrs. Zhou's hands, and Wuwang said again , "This is what I mean. Mom, don't think too little."

Mrs. Zhou wanted to decline in fear, and said straightly, "The girl is too polite, these are our duties, we all praise the girl behind her back, we don't put on airs, and we are kind, and we don't leave like the other young lady for a moment. No one, usually just tell us to rest if we have nothing to do, we just recite Amitabha Buddha to the girl, how can we get the girl's money!"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Mom, take it quickly. I have been away from home for so long, and I have forgotten many things. I will have to ask my mother to give me advice. If you refuse to accept it, it will really slap me in the face."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to accept it, and said, "The girl will be protected by the old ladies and uncles when she gets home, so you don't have to be afraid of anything, and the girl is such a good-natured person, the whole family can't love her." Well, no one cares about anything."

Wu Wang said, "I also know that the family is very good, but the rules are still necessary. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing for my parents?"

Mrs. Zhou sighed sadly, and said in her heart, what a poor child, even when she came to her uncle's house, she was naturally no more casual than her own. Seeing her calm face, she still had a lot of thoughts after all, it's hard for her at such a young age.

Wu Wang said, "Uncle asked me to meet a guest, is it in the lobby below?"

Mrs. Zhou said, "Where is it in the lobby? Because there are female relatives, there is another private room. Girls, just rest assured. Anyway, it is raining heavily today, and there are not many business travelers coming and going. The shop is very clean."

Liu'er asked, "How many more days are there before I arrive at Uncle's house? Seeing that the scene on the street is better than that in our village, it's really a land of prosperity."

Mrs. Zhou said, "From the closing of Jianmen to Yingtian Mansion, at least fifteen or six days. When we came, we walked in a hurry. The weather was fine, and there was no delay. Now we have picked up the girl. The third master is afraid that the girl will be tired. Every time there is a big town, we stop at the wharf, so it will take longer."

Liu'er sighed bitterly, and Wuwang smiled and said to Mrs. Zhou, "Mom, let's go first, and I'll call the little girl later."

Mrs. Zhou blessed Fu and withdrew. She didn't want to turn her face to see Liu'er was still frowning, so she said helplessly, "When the rain is lighter, you can go to a pharmacy to make two kinds of seasickness medicine. Come here, I have something to say to you Say."

Seeing her frowning, Liu'er knew that something was going on, and was confused, so he stood respectfully aside and said, "Listen to the girl's lesson."

Wu Wang squinted at her, and said with a sullen face, "You have been with me for a few days, and you know how I treat you. Although you must consider yourself a slave, I only think of you as a sister in my heart. You have to be careful in front of people, don't ask people to catch you. You were wrong just now, and you will make a fool of yourself after hearing that you will arrive in a few days. This is outside, and everyone doesn't care about it seriously. If you arrive at the gate of the house, you But it’s a taboo! Are you willing to tell me in private that self-discipline in front of others is the best way to protect yourself.”

Liu'er nodded hurriedly, "I just messed up just now, I must be more careful in the future, and I will never create trouble for the girl."

Wuwang was relieved after hearing this, stood up and went to the window to look out, this inn is quite elegant, there are banana trees planted in the yard outside the corridor, the raindrops hit it and crackled, it might take the next night to see the situation , Basho Yeyu, very poetic!

About half an hour later, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Mrs. Zhou led the maids in, tied Wu Wang's hair, put in a hairpin and hairpin comb, put a bead hoop on his forehead, and changed it into aloes. The weft cardigan and the white skirt with gold borders on the bottom, everyone looked at it, and they were all amazed, and the maid Cuiping said, "Our girl is so good-looking, it compares with all the sisters in the family. She is very good at first. , now it’s even more amazing to dress up!"

"Isn't it!" Another mother who was in charge of chores also said, "No wonder the old lady and the grandfather never forget that our fourth aunt was originally a beauty, and the young lady who is born now is even better than her."

Wu Wang just smiled, let them powder her, and put a no-step on the waist of her skirt. When everything was ready, Shi Shiran went downstairs.
