As soon as the middle-aged man was ready to sail, someone came running and said, "boatman, wait for us. Our master is going to cross the river."
Listening to this man, it seems that there are still a lot of guests. It's worth waiting a little longer. The middle-aged man laughed twice and stopped his movements. Qingyang looked up. Standing on the shore was a young man with a long face, dressed as a servant.
Not long after that, three more people came. The first one was a fat man in his thirties, with a big round face and a pair of small eyes. Wearing Satin clothes and holding a folding fan in his hand, I don't know whether it's really romantic or chic. According to the dress, it should be the master in the mouth of the long faced servant.
Master Xiaoyan was followed by a man and a woman. Big bags and small bags carried a lot of things. The man is a middle-aged strong man with a square face and frost on his face. He is strong and dignified. It is obvious that he is a role of bodyguard. The woman next to her is beautiful and charming. She is less than 20 years old. She seems to be a servant girl serving people.
There are four people, one master, one servant girl, one bodyguard, and one attendant who often follows. He brings his servants so complete when he goes away. It can be seen that the master is also a person who likes to enjoy. It is estimated that his family background and status are different.
The little eye master came to the ferry and looked at the boat on the river. He couldn't help frowning. He seemed to dislike the boat in front of him. But look at the sky, it will be dark soon. If you don't hurry to cross the river, you may have to stay here at night. There is no decent Inn here. He shook his head helplessly and had to make do with it.
The little eye master was about to get on the boat, but the boatman suddenly stopped him and said, "Sir, my boat can only carry four people at a time, but I already have one guest on board. Why don't you get on three first and the other one will come tomorrow?"
Come back tomorrow? Isn't that bullshit? There are four people in our line. You want us to divide into two groups? Stay here alone. What if something happens? The servant girl needs to warm my bed, and the bodyguard can feel safe with me. The servant needs to be around at any time. I can't sleep without any of the three servants. Can't you leave me here?
Before the little eye master could speak, the long faced servant shouted, "boatman, what do you mean? We came together and you asked us to divide it into two groups? Didn't you mean to embarrass us? Isn't that boy alone? Let him down and make room for us."
Seeing that the four people here disagreed, the boatman turned to Qingyang and said, "little brother, look at this... Why don't you cross the river tomorrow?"
If the master and servant talk well, Qingyang is not unable to discuss, but he is very dissatisfied with the other party's bossy and condescending attitude. And I came early and waited so long. Why should I give it to the latecomers?
Qingyang did not speak, but shook his head and refused the boatman. The boatman was very helpless, so he had to face the master and servant with a few humanitarians: "he doesn't want to let you go, sir. Why don't you come up with three first and pick up the last one after I send them across the river?"
It will take at least half an hour for this kind of manpower boat to go back and forth along the river hundreds of feet wide. It is estimated that an hour has passed. Seeing that it is dark, how can they have time to wait here all the time?
"No, if you don't come back after you go, what about the rest of us?" the little eyed master shook his head.
At this time, the long faced servant flashed to the opposite side of Qingyang, pointed to Qingyang and said, "boy, don't you know who our master is? This is the master of the Yang family in Kaiyuan mansion. If you know the truth, get out of the boat quickly, or don't blame us for being rude."
What's the story of master Yang and master pig? Qingyang is not too late. He is also young and energetic. How can he be scolded by the other party and said: "everything pays attention to the principle of first come, first served. Are you going to use it? I'll accompany you at any time."
Qingyang said something. The long faced servant was a little embarrassed. He immediately became angry and turned his head and said, "Sir, look, if this guy toasts or doesn't eat, he should eat a fine wine. Let Lao Liang do it and throw this guy into the water to wake up."
The little eyed master Yang seemed to be unhappy with Qingyang. He snorted and was ready to send Lao Liang behind him. The boatman next to him saw that the two sides were not giving in to each other, and the conflict became more and more serious. The boatman whispered a scold in his mouth, and then stood up as a peacemaker, saying: "No, don't do it. There's only one more person. I'll try to be careful. There should be no accident. You all get on board."
The difference between carrying four people and carrying five people in this boat is not very big. If it weren't for the little eye master's fat body and his weight is almost two Qingyang, the boatman might not raise this question. Now the two sides don't give in to each other, they can only make do with it. Be careful not to capsize in the river.
Qingyang didn't want to do much, so he didn't care about the other party's offense. Seeing that Qingyang didn't seem to be easy to provoke, master Yang didn't let the old Lin behind him fight again. The two sides were at peace for the time being. No one put forward different opinions on the boatman's suggestions. Both sides were eager to cross the river. No matter who left, they wouldn't want to, so they had to go together.
After that, the servant first put the baggage they carried on the boat, and then the four masters and servants did it. The impact of the others on the boat was not great. After the fat master Yang got on the boat, Qingyang obviously felt that the boat sank suddenly, the boat dropped a lot, the boat shook violently a few times, and I didn't know if there would be an accident on the way.
After everyone got on the boat, the boatman untied the rope on the boat, then gently pulled it with the oar, turned the boat and walked towards the water. Maybe it's because the boat has been overloaded. The boatman is always careful when rowing. The boat moves very slowly.
The boat was small, four or five feet wide and more than a foot long. It was full of six people.
Qingyang was the first to get on the boat, so he sat on the bow, followed by the long faced servant, sitting with a cold face close to Qingyang's body, as if he wanted to squeeze Qingyang out of the boat. Look at his posture. If it weren't for the outsider of the boatman watching on the boat, maybe he would dare to push Qingyang into the river.
Sitting in the middle was master Yang and his servant girl, and the burden was placed between them and the long faced servant. Master Yang was not honest when he was sitting on the boat. He wiped some oil on the servant girl from time to time, which attracted angry scolds and charming smiles. He looked like no one else.
