Chapter 31 The Eve Before Disembarking

Xiaotong returned without thinking: "Of course it's very good. Master, do you know how that kid's new clothes were all over his feet? It was bought by Master Ye for him. And when I went to the kitchen to decoct medicine, they heard that Ashun ate three meals a day at Master Ye.

No wonder I said before, why did he eat so much? It turned out that he was with that kid."

"So, think about it, Mr. Ye is so kind to him, and is willing to take care of his food and buy him new clothes and shoes. How could he not be willing to pay fifty taels of silver?" Xiao Junyi asked in a guide.

It seems like it's the same? Xiaotong bit her finger and thought: "What Mr. Ye meant was that she didn't want to give money to the ship manager?"

"I plan to give it a little, but it is definitely not to give it as much as the ship manager wants." Xiao Junyi felt that it should be like this.

"Oh, I understand, I just think the ship manager is too high." Xiaotong suddenly realized.

As soon as he finished speaking, his son slapped the back of his head with a book: "You understand, that's a big deal."

"Young Master, why are you so rude?" Xiaotong was very surprised.

Really, it’s the first time I’ve heard such words say from him after being with the young master for so long!

If this is heard by the master or the old man in the mansion, he will probably be a necessary reprimand.

When Xiao Tong asked this, Xiao Junyi felt incredible. What's wrong with him? Is he a ghost?

"The reason why Mr. Ye didn't agree to give the ship the number of people in charge was that he didn't want to fulfill his greed." After that, Xiao Junyi sat down, wanted to read the book but found that he couldn't read it at all.

...

In the cabin opposite the door, Chang Xiaojiu had just sat down. Ashun, who had closed the door and followed him, knelt in front of her, and kowtowed three times: "From the future, the young master will be Ashun's master, and Ashun's life will be the young master."

Fortunately, the ground is covered with wooden boards and the warehouse is underneath. If it is a solid ground, Ashun's forehead will definitely bleeding.

Chang Xiaojiu, who had no time to stop him, quickly reached out and pulled him up: "Ashun, let's talk about it first. I don't like being kneeling. Don't do this again in the future."

"Okay, Ashun remembered." Ashun responded happily.

Looking at Ashun's forehead still red, Chang Xiaojiu couldn't bear to express his original plan, which was to follow her for the time being and meet a reliable family, she would entrust him to him.

"Ashun, let me ask you. Just now, the boat manager was in the aisle. When I didn't agree, I said that you had to take you away. Are you sad? Did you blame me?" Chang Xiaojiu asked softly.

Ashun immediately shook his head and looked at Chang Xiaojiu with bright eyes: "Ashun is not sad, nor does he blame the young master, because the young master is so kind to me, I am already very content. Grandma Wharf once said that people should know that people should be grateful and not have greed.

Therefore, even if the young master did not agree to him, I still have to remember the kindness he had treated me.

If I blame the young master for this, it is because I have greed.”

"Is the grandma on the pier from Jingcheng pier?" Chang Xiaojiu asked curiously.

A person who can say such words is a kind and life-thinking person.

"Yes, young master, you don't know. Grandma's family is not well-off. She opened a small restaurant on the dock. Her son died in the battle in his early years, and her daughter-in-law remarried. Her only grandson was in poor health and took medicine all year round. After her grandson gave birth to two children, she ran away with someone.

But that's it. She also adopted two orphans. The clothes and shoes I have worn over the past two years are basically given by her." When Ashun talked about the grandma, her tone and expression were full of admiration.

Chang Xiaojiu listened to the grandma's affairs. She saw Ashun's expression at this moment. A twelve-year-old child admired a grandma who did not look down like fate and tried to live. This is enough to show that Ashun's child has a very positive outlook on his three views.

Chang Xiaojiu was very pleased that he did not help the wrong person.

"Okay, then go and see her when you get off the boat tomorrow morning." Chang Xiaojiu suggested.

When Ashun heard this, he nodded happily. He was thinking that just now, and he was thinking about how to tell the young master.

"Young Master, it's late at night, please go to bed quickly." Ashun was still very excited, but he did not forget to do his best from now on and take good care of the young master's daily life.

He heard that it was late at night and he went to bed, and Chang Xiaojiu remembered something, how to sleep tonight?

The bed is enough to sleep with two people. Although Ashun is only twelve years old and is still a child, she is a woman after all. If Ashun has no reliable person to entrust him to, she will sooner or later find out that she is a woman.

You should know that this was in ancient times. Chang Xiaojiu felt that even if he didn't mind, he had to think more.

My eyes scanned the cabin and wanted to use a chair to put a simple bed, and there were only two chairs in total. If you add a table, the height difference would be too great.

Chang Xiaojiu went to the bed, pulled the quilt, and spread it on the ground. Fortunately, there were two pillows, so he took one.

"You will just slept here tonight, lay half of the cover." Chang Xiaojiu pointed to the spread quilt and said to Ashun.

"Young Master, then you don't have a quilt covered? It's still cold on the river at night. You can cover your quilt. I'll be fine if I stayed like this all night, and it's going to dawn soon." Ashun understood and understood, and said as he went forward to hold the quilt.

"Ashun, are you not listening to me now?" Chang Xiaojiu asked deliberately.

Ashun quickly waved his hand: "No, my son, I'm afraid that my son will get cold and get sick. I'm really fine. Really, I don't have a bed when I sleep normally."

"There is no bed, is it the kind of bed built with a board?" Chang Xiaojiu asked.

"No, just on the straw mat in the corner of the warehouse." Ashun told.

Chang Xiaojiu regretted it a little, so she shouldn't have asked. I don't know, but now she is starting to feel sad again.

She also knew that what she had just asked was a bit unconsidered. Although the ship was large, the shipkeeper must have made full use of the space he could use to make money.

There are more than a dozen people doing things on the boat, so how could there be so many places to put beds?

The conditions for the ship manager to live in the boat will definitely be better, and it is hard to say about other people who do things.

"Okay, please go to bed quickly. I'm sleeping on the bed and I can lift up half of the mattress cover. Otherwise, why don't you sleep on the bed too, let's go together?" Chang Xiaojiu said simply.

How could that work? Ashun quickly took off his shoes, put his clothes on his quilt, and pulled his other half to cover himself.

Chang Xiaojiu immediately smiled, walked to the edge of the bed, blew the candle, took off his shoes and went to bed.

Chang Xiaojiu didn't know whether Ashun was asleep or not, but she really couldn't sleep.
