Moon Emperor

Chapter 179 There is "A Piao"

In ancient society, except for passenger ships, women were not allowed to board cargo ships, military ships, dragon boats, etc., which is the so-called "female companions are not good for sailing".

According to the traditional concept, women's body is too yin, and they are easy to attract unclean things, so it is very unlucky to let them travel with the boat.

Although the awning boat itself is a passenger ship, it is no problem to carry female passengers in theory, but sometimes some passengers who are more fussy cannot be avoided.

After all, with such a big ferry, it is not that there are no other boats to choose from.

"It's okay, the little baby is quite cute." Su Yan boarded the boat indifferently.

This made the boatman smile happily, with wrinkles on his face, "Okay! I'll set off as soon as I get ready."

"Sit inside. If the weather goes smoothly this season, it will take about three days to arrive. Fresh river fish will be supplied on board every day."

After all, such a generous guest as Su Yan is still relatively rare, and the price for chartering the boat is always three, and this guest gave it directly after asking the price just now.

On weekdays, the boat owner has to wait half a day to attract seven or eight customers before sailing.

Sometimes the number of people is not enough, four or five will be enough, and if there are fewer, it will not be possible to open, it is not worthwhile, it is better to wait for the next day.

This boat is not big, only about three feet long. The first half is open to the air, with a mast in the middle, and the second half is covered by a black awning, which can be used for sunshade, rain and rest.

As the boatman swayed the boat, the boat swayed and sailed towards the lower reaches of the canal.

This river is called "Jiangnan Canal" and is named after the entire section is south of the Yangtze River. Su Yan took a boat here, and then he had to go to Shanyangdu, Yongji Canal to reach the Yellow River.

After all, Hangzhou is far away from the Yellow River, how could it be possible to arrive in three days.

In other words, I don't know if it was Su Yan's illusion, but he always felt that there were too many people around today. Although Hangzhou City was indeed lively, he didn't feel this way yesterday.

After the ship started, the feeling of having more people got better.

At the beginning of the boat trip, Su Yan did not hide in the cabin to cool off, but sat on the bow of the boat, his body swayed gently with the waves, and the cool wind was blowing, looking at the open river, his mind was very comfortable.

This is one of the reasons why he has to travel like a mortal. This kind of experience is quite novel to Su Yan, he has never been on a boat twice in his previous life.

The boatman who was rowing the scull was quite surprised to see this scene. This young master looked like a scholar, but he was carrying a big wooden box when he boarded the boat. Maybe he was a luthier?

Sure enough, the interests and hobbies of these elegant people are different from those of ordinary people like them.

"My lord, this is not your first time on a boat, I don't think you are very dizzy."

"It's okay, I can get used to it." Su Yan said, looking at the sparkling river with great interest, "What kind of river delicacies should we have for lunch?"

It can't be blamed that Su Yan only thinks about eating in his mind. He didn't have many hobbies in his previous life, and eating was one of them.

After traveling in this life, and staying in Qingcheng Palace for seven years, a bird faded out of his mouth, and now he is busy looking for food when he comes down the mountain.

"There are river prawns, river crabs, and river fish. The perch is very fat this season. I'll see if I can catch some later."

Su Yan nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that it was still early, and the boat had just left the ferry, Su Yan sat on the bow for half an hour, and went back to the cabin after blowing enough wind.

The little girl didn't hide now, but took the initiative to carry the big teapot with a gap and pour tea for Su Yan.

Su Yan sat on the bench nailed to the hull, took the teacup with a smile, looked at the girl and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl with her hair tied into two braids and bright eyes said crisply, "I don't have a name, so I'm just a girl."

Su Yan was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, just said with a gentle attitude: "Is the girl usually bored on this boat? What do you play?"

The girl thought for a while before responding
Thanks to Su Yan's kindness, the little girl in the red coat quickly talked to him about everything.

The boatman was quite wary at first, but he gradually relaxed after seeing nothing happened and his daughter giggled.

When the wind blows, the boatman will no longer row the oars, but lower the sails. At this time, it will save effort, as long as he steers the rudder and controls the direction.

In fact, the girl was also secretly paying attention to her father, seeing that he hadn't looked over, she sat down beside Su Yan and told him some little secrets.

"This red dress was given to me by a young lady." When the girl mentioned it, her tone was not without showing off.

"What kind of young lady is she?" Su Yan glanced at the scenery outside the boat and asked casually.

"It's a young lady with an old beggar." She responded childishly.

Wait, old beggar? ?

Su Yan immediately focused on the girl, "Did you say the wrong thing? How old is that young lady?"

"It's not the opposite, the young lady is about the same age as me, and she was wearing this outfit at the time." The girl still focused on the clothes.

This made Su Yan's expression even weirder. An eight or nine-year-old girl led the old man away instead?Unless "Is that beggar blind?"

"Yes, how do you know?!" The girl showed a look of surprise.

Match again, maybe I was bluffing and tricking that one in Lanfang County earlier.
After thinking about it, Su Yan continued to ask: "When did you meet them, and why did Miss Sister give you clothes again?"

With a look of reminiscence, the girl pointed her chin and said: "Just a few days ago, they were going to take a boat, but no one would let a beggar on board, not even my father."

"At that time, I was watching secretly on the boat, and my young lady was also watching me."

"Not long after, the young lady left and came back again. When she came back, the old beggar had disappeared."

"Then Miss Sister gave my father the money and asked her if she could take the boat alone?"

"My father didn't agree to it at first, but she somehow convinced him and got on our boat smoothly."

"As soon as the little sister got on the boat, she came to talk to me, just like you, big brother."

"She told me a lot of interesting stories. The old beggar showed his skills, the old beggar killed bandits, the old beggar caught evil spirits, the old beggar."

When she said this, the girl suddenly stopped.

Su Yan glanced at the outside of the boat strangely, but the boatman didn't turn around, why didn't he talk all of a sudden?This is getting to the point.

Just when he was about to ask aloud, the girl stood up on the bench, she leaned on Su Yan's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I know you are a good person, let me tell you a secret Oh~"

"My father warned me several times not to tell anyone this, I only said it because you were kind to me."

"There are 'Apiao' on this river. I saw it when I woke up at night. Be careful not to be dragged into the water by them!"

　PS: Although the follow-up subscription is still miserable, and there are many skipped subscriptions, the average subscription has slowly increased to 300, and it seems that 500 average within three months is still possible.

　　Then I also want to update a little bit more, the full-time author updates 4 words a day, isn't this a good deal?But under the premise of ensuring the quality, it is really impossible to code more.

　　Now it is around eleven o'clock in the evening every day to finish coding two chapters, and then set a regular update at ten o'clock in the morning the next day.

　　I can only say try my best, and finally I want to ask, are all new readers coming from [Daily Guide]?Anyway, the starting point should be measured, otherwise it is impossible for the average order of this week to climb slowly.

　　I hope this moderate dosage can continue. Can you let me reach 500?
