Qin Xiao was worried about how to find the whereabouts of Han Yunong. He didn't want to take a boat, shook his head, and turned to leave, but he saw the boat girl showing a trace of disappointment.
Chuanniang is nearly thirty years old, but her appearance is not bad. There is a small red mole on the corner of her mouth. She is beautiful at first, but the small mole adds a touch of style to her.
When Qin Xiao entered the city, Du Hongsheng introduced some of the city of Kyoto.
The city of Kyoto has three water systems, and the imperial court has started to build many channels to open up the three water systems and form a very convenient waterway transportation.
The three water systems are like three giant dragons coiling around the city of Kyoto. There are rivers in the city, and there are avenues in the rivers.
After entering Beijing, southerners don’t like horseback riding, and they can’t enjoy the scenery by car. Moreover, many roads in the city are congested, so visiting Kyoto by boat has become a more elegant thing.
For those so-called elegant men, letting a five-big and three-thick punter enjoy the scenery is far inferior to a woman punting. In the earliest days, the punter was indeed the punter, but the business was cold and waited until there was a boat girl. After that, punting and enjoying the scenery became prosperous, so there were fewer and fewer punters in Kyoto, but more and more punters. In order to cater to the habits of southerners, many punters wore southern women’s clothing. , And try to clean up as much as possible, so as to increase their business.
It’s just that holding a boat is also hard work. The average weak woman can’t eat this bowl of rice. The most important thing is the ordinary people, and they will not let the family members of the family come out and show their faces, especially the yellow girls who have not yet come out of the pavilion. Do something like this.
Therefore, almost all the boat girls who are punting on the river are in financial difficulties. They come out on their own to support the family, and they are often married young women.
Qin Xiao was not in the mood to ride a boat to enjoy the scenery, but saw that the ship’s lady was disappointed and she wanted to leave, and couldn’t help saying: “I’m riding out, you can only sit on the boat, you can’t put a horse on it. , Threw the horse here, and it was stolen later."
"It won't be a hindrance." The ship’s lady's voice was gentle. Seeing that Qin Xiao was only worried about her horse, she immediately smiled: "You tied the horse to the tree. After the tour, I will send you back here. There were guests before. All this is done. No one has ever lost a horse. If someone dares to steal a horse, I will help you find it." Lest Qin Xiao would not believe it, he added: "My brother is a member of the government."
Qin Xiao will be suspicious, wondering if your brother is really a member of the government, how could you let you be a womanly family to show your face.
However, he was depressed and hoped to take this opportunity to ask the ship’s lady about some things about Kyoto. After thinking about it, he nodded and tied the horse. Suddenly he thought of the boat cost and asked: "How much does it cost to take your boat? Money?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." The ship's lady took the business, and her smile was even brighter: "It costs 20 cents an hour. If you charter a boat, it costs 40 cents an afternoon, which is very cheap."
Qin Xiao thought that the ship’s money was indeed not expensive, but the ship’s lady had already set up the boat board very neatly. Qin Xiao got on the ship with a pony stool in the middle. He approached at this time and found that the ship’s lady’s appearance is not bad. Perhaps it is because of the perennial boating, the skin tone is slightly wheaten, it looks very healthy, the waist is slender, the waist is narrow, the narrow shirt is tied to the upper body, and it also makes the chest look quite plump.
Qin Xiao sat down on the horse bench, and the ship’s lady put away the board, the poles entered the water, the water was rippling, and the boat had left the shore.
"Where are we going?" Qin Xiao asked.
Chuanniang said: "If the guests have nowhere to go, we can follow Luoshui to the east, passing Taipingfang, Changshengfang and Tsing Yi
Fang, Taipingfang has a Taoist temple, which is a famous scenic spot in Kyoto. You can enjoy it by boat. If guests want to enter the Taoist temple and incense, I can wait. There are various snack shops in Changsheng Square, and Tsing Yi Square has a beautiful scenery and is a good place to go. If we take this waterway, we can go back here before dark without delaying the guests' return. "
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Then go this way. By the way, I didn't ask my sister for the title."
"Sister?" Chuanniang glanced at Qin Xiao and smiled sweetly, but she was full of amorous feelings, and said: "Others call me Qiuniang, and the guests can call them like that. Where are the guests? Listen to your accent, no Like a southerner."
"I'm from the northwest." Qin Xiaodao: "This is my first time in Beijing."
The boat maidens are agile, the poles enter the water, and they don’t use too much force. The small boats go down the water very quickly. There are many boats on the water. These boat maidens have very good skills, passing by without affecting each other.
"At first glance, it is the first time I have entered Beijing." Chuan Niang smiled sweetly: "People who often come to Beijing don't know how to travel by boat. They have other places to go."
"Is the business bad?"
"The first few years were fine. Now there are more cruise ships and fewer guests than before. I have half a day without work." Qiuniang said, "It takes a half day to find guests every day, but I am very skilled. , I can find guests every day."
"If you can earn thirty or forty pennies a day, you can earn one or two pennies in a month." Qin Xiao said: "You can barely make ends meet."
Datang's exchange rate, one or two silver can be exchanged for a consistent copper coin, and a consistent copper coin is 1,000 copper coins.
Qiu Niang shook her head and said: "No, many people don't have business every day, and they are punting on the river, and there are gangsters collecting money. If they don't give it, they will have trouble."
"You still have to pay?" Qin Xiao was startled, thinking that at the feet of the emperor, could anyone dare to collect protection fees in a fair manner.
Qiu Niang said: "They asked me for it, but I didn't give it. They rushed me and worked hard with them." The tone was rather rigid.
Qin Xiao laughed, sitting on the horse bench, watching Qiuniang’s soft figure show its curves when punting, especially every time he bends, the waist becomes more slender, and the lines curve down. But it looked plump and round, wrapped in those gray pants, and his clothes seemed torn.
He was embarrassed to stare there, watching both sides, indeed, as Qiuniang said, there are many cruise ships on the river, but not many guests.
"By the way, Sister Qiuniang, can you receive guests from the northwest before?" Qin Xiao asked: "You can see the guests from Xiling?"
"Yes, but very few." Qiuniang said: "Some guests don't talk a lot on the boat, some talk too much, but...but their mouths are not very clean, I ignored them. The other day There was also a guest from the northwest, who didn’t know where he was from the northwest. As soon as he got on the ship, he was full of boasts, saying that he was born rich and well-connected in the capital, and said that as long as I am...!" , Snorted: "Anyway, the more you talk, the more serious you are, and I was driven away. I thought that people in the Northwest are like that. I saw the guests today, and it seems that there are still many good people in the Northwest."
Qin Xiao laughed and said: "Do you think I am very gentle?"
Qiu Niang glanced back, and smiled Yanran: "The guest is beautiful and gentle, and he looks like a good person."
While speaking, there was already a fork in the road, Qiuniang said: "We are going to the fork in the road, there is Taipingfang, I will take you to Ziyang Temple." I was about to drive the boat into the fork in the road, but I saw the opposite one. A cruise ship is coming here at a very fast speed.
Qiu Niang used the pole to stop the boat. At this moment, she heard a loud whistle from the small boat on the opposite side. Before Qiu Niang thought about it, Qin Xiao heard a loud sound from behind. When he turned his head back, he suddenly found that not far behind Qiuniang's ship, a small boat was also coming here at extremely fast speed.
Qin Xiao immediately noticed that something was wrong, stood up and stared at the oncoming ship, but he could see clearly that although the man on the ship was wearing a hat, he was tall and obviously a man.
He glanced back and saw that the boat coming from behind was also a punter, with a big waist and a round waist, very aggressive.
The two boatmen are very good at sailing skills, and they double-teamed one after another.
Qin Xiao of course had already seen that the two small boats were coming towards Qiuniang, frowning, thinking that he had gone against the water in the past few days, and everything went wrong, and he also encountered these troubles while enjoying the scenery by boat. thing.
Qiu Niang didn't react at first, when she saw the ship behind, she woke up immediately, clenched the pole, Hua Rong paled slightly, a little flustered, seeing the two ships getting closer, Qiuniang suddenly bent down , Lifted a piece of rag beside his foot and took out a kitchen knife from below.
Qin Xiao was taken aback, and immediately understood that it seemed that Qiuniang had also been wary of someone making trouble for her, and even prepared a kitchen knife on the boat.
The empire implements a knife hunting order, and civilians are not allowed to hide weapons privately, but kitchen knives are not included in the knife hunting order.
"Boom!"
The hull shook violently, and the ship behind was extremely fast. It had already rammed into the stern of Qiuniang from behind. The small boat was not big, so the impact caused the hull to sway, Qin Xiao's body It was also shaking, unsteady, and almost fell.
Qiu Niang’s boat skills are exquisite and she has stayed a lot on the water. Although the hull swayed violently, although her body shook a bit, she quickly stood firmly, holding a pole in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, facing the back She cursed: "Do you want to die if you don't have eyes?" She has a beautiful appearance, but when she scolds people, it is very violent, and that beautiful face is full of anger.
The boatman behind laughed loudly, the struts pushed hard, the hull backed up, and then hit the stern again.
Qin Xiao got ready, spreading his legs left and right to stabilize his body, but his face was a bit ugly.
Qiu Niang is just a boat girl who is begging for life on the water. Her status can be said to be extremely low. She earns some hard money to support her family, but she does not know how to offend these two men, and she comes to ask for trouble in broad daylight.
The oncoming ship did not directly collide. It approached, holding the pole in her hand, but poking straight towards Qiuniang’s plump chest, and said with a strange smile: "Looking at this big, can you The pole punctured."
Qiu Niang dodged immediately, and the kitchen knife in her hand slashed over the pole. The man on the other side was flexible and opened the pole. When Qiuniang cut a hole, the pole had already come in quickly and tried hard. Poke Qiuniang on the shoulder, and the ship behind just ran into it again. After being forced back and forth, Qiuniang yelled "Ouch", her feet were unsteady, and she had fallen backwards. Qin Xiao saw this and cheated forward. One hand supported Qiuniang's waist, and the other hand supported her shoulders to stabilize her body.
Qiu Niang panted heavily, her chest rising and falling, Qin Xiao helped her stand, and had taken the pole in Qiuniang's hand easily, raised her head and looked at the boatman opposite, with cold eyes in her eyes.
