Eight hundred and eleventh chapters start prodigal(1/2)
"The mist of the river illuminates the clear mist, the houses on both sides of the bank are connected with painted eaves, and the lotus bushes are covered with pale autumn light.
Watch the sand gulls dancing again and again, rolling the ten-mile bead curtain in the fragrant wind.
Painting boats are coming to the horizon, wine flags are blowing in the wind. I love killing Jiangnan!"
When Huang Shaohong came back to his senses, he saw birds singing, flowers fragrant and green willows shading both sides of the bank. There was a waterway in front of him, and the boat was sailing on it. He himself was wearing a green mountain feather fan scarf, dressed as a scholar, standing on the bow of the boat, and there was a sweet and soft feeling behind him.
of chanting.
Looking back, I saw a young and beautiful girl, wearing a floral dress, rocking an oar with both hands, a sweet smile on her face, and a sweet and charming singing voice.
When the girl saw Huang Shaohong turning around, she stopped singing and chuckled: "Sir, Qiantang is just ahead!"
"Qiantang?"
Huang Shaohong's five senses are fully opened and he can distinguish whether everything around him is real or the environment.
When the girl saw him stunned and looking straight at her, she couldn't help but blush slightly, but she didn't have stage fright, she just said coquettishly:
"Young Master, what are you looking at?"
Huang Shaohong was interrupted from his thoughts and was a little stunned. He understood that this was a girl asking him, "What are you looking at?" As a pure northern man, he subconsciously replied:
"Look at you!"
The girl's smile froze on her face. Fortunately, Huang Shaohong reacted in time and quickly smiled and waved his hands:
"I'm kidding you. I heard that you sang the song well just now, so I took a second look!"
Huang Shaohong has determined that this is a real world and there is no trace of illusion.
When the girl heard what he said, she felt relieved and her face turned red:
"Young Master Huang is so ridiculous!"
Huang Shaohong put his hand on his forehead, and then pretended to be in a daze on his face:
"I haven't had much rest recently and I'm a little forgetful. Girl, do you know where I live? What's my name?"
The girl was slightly stunned. She didn't understand how this person was so fine just now, but when she turned around, she even forgot her name and address.
The shock only lasted for a moment, and then the girl laughed like a silver bell:
"Young Master, you are so bad. You must be teasing me again, aren't you? I don't know anyone in Suzhou or Hangzhou, not to mention Mr. Huang Shaohong of Qiantang!"
Huang Shaohong also laughed: "You're a smart girl this time. You guessed that I was teasing you!"
"Sir, we have arrived at Qiantang!"
Huang Shaohong turned around and saw a water town building with white walls and black tiles appearing in front of him. The girl shook her hands and the boat entered the water alley and crossed a stone arch bridge. With a sound of "duh", she gently poked the water on the shore.
Stop on the stone steps that extend to the water.
"Sir, we are here!"
"good!"
Huang Shaohong walked up the stone steps and headed towards Qiantang County. He had already experienced landing in the new world. In the short conversation just now, he heard that he seemed to have an identity in this world, and he was very important in Qiantang.
famous.
So he wanted to go ashore, make some insinuations, and learn all his complete identity information, and then figure out which world this was.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the boatman girl behind him hurriedly shouted:
"Master Huang..."
Huang Shaohong stopped, turned around and asked, "What?"
The boatman girl lightly stamped her lotus feet on the boat, waved her hands and said: "You are teasing me again, you haven't paid the boat fare yet!"
"Oh...hehe, I really forgot, sorry, sorry!"
Huang Shaohong stretched out his hand to touch his body and found a purse tied around his waist. He took it off and shook it. There was a jingling sound, and he thought it contained copper coins.
"How much?"
Huang Shaohong poured the few copper coins in his wallet into his hand and asked how much the ship's fare was.
The girl was obviously a little unhappy. She pouted and said, "Didn't we agree that the round trip from Qiantang to Lin'an will cost ten cents!"
Huang Shaohong looked at the copper coins in his hand and saw that there were only five. This was so embarrassing.
The girl obviously also saw the five copper coins in Huang Shaohong's hand, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead anxiously:
"Why are you like this? How can I take a boat if I don't have money?"
Looking at the girl like that, she no longer has the sweet smile she had before when she sang the lyrics, and she is almost crying!
Huang Shaohong shook his head in a funny way: "Who said I would default on my debt? No, just keep it safe!"
He turned over his hand and found a piece of broken silver weighing more than one tael in his hand, and he threw it towards the girl.
The girl subconsciously caught it with both hands. When she saw that it was a piece of broken silver, her eyes suddenly opened wide and she exclaimed: "Master, there are too many of them, I can't find them!"
Huang Shaohong had already turned around and walked away, waving his hands without looking back: "If there are more, I will reward you!"
"Hey... Master!"
The girl looked at the silver in her hand, and then at the young man. She wanted to chase him, but was worried about her ship, so she could only watch Huang Shaohong go away.
"Xiu'er, what's wrong? Is it the poor guy who bullied you?"
At this time, an old man wearing coarse clothes walked along the shore. When he saw his daughter shouting at Huang Shaohong's back, his expression immediately changed and he quickened his pace towards this side.
When the girl saw the old man, she shook her head and said, "No, it's the young master who gave him too much shipping money!"
As she spoke, she showed the old man the broken piece of silver in her hand.
"Hey...I heard that this prodigal son went to Lin'an this time to borrow money. Did he borrow the money? He is so generous!"
After the old man finished speaking, he smiled and took the money into his arms. The girl said angrily:
"Dad, Mr. Huang is a very nice person, don't talk about him like that!"
The old man chuckled and said: "Xiu'er, don't look at this person's smooth appearance. He is just a bag of chaff for an embroidered pillow. Dad, tell you, we can't have any thoughts about him..."
The girl named Xiu'er's face turned red, and she said reluctantly: "Dad, what are you talking about..."
She said coquettishly: "Young Master Huang comes from a scholarly family, and our Shuishui family..." She said with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Her father heard this and spat at Huang Shaohong's back before saying:
"What's wrong with scholars? It's the most terrifying thing if you become stupid because of reading!"
"At the beginning, the largest garden in Qiantang County belonged to their family, but how many years had his parents left? He had ruined such a big garden, and he still owed a lot of debt. I'm afraid he won't be able to borrow the money this time.
He won’t be beaten to death, but it seems that this kid is very lucky, he must have borrowed the money, and he doesn’t deserve to die!”
After the old man finished speaking, he warned:
"I'm telling you, stay away from him from now on. We can't afford to offend this kind of prodigal son. If I want him to be my son-in-law, that will push you into a pit of fire, Xiu'er!"
"Dad, you are talking nonsense again!"
Xiu'er stamped her feet again and turned to look at Huang Shaohong with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
Huang Shaohong had just walked a few dozen meters. At this distance, others could not hear clearly, but he could hear the words of the father and daughter clearly.
I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. I logged into the new world, but it seemed like I didn't get off to a good start. This time, it seemed like I was still a prodigal who was ridiculed by others.
He summoned the system in his mind, but there was still no response from the other party.
I looked around and didn't know where to go. I saw a restaurant with a wine flag next to me. I thought that this restaurant should know my address because of the people coming and going, so I walked in directly.
It was not meal time at this time, there were no customers in the restaurant, the shopkeeper was busy making calculations behind the counter, and a waiter lazily rested his chin on his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
As soon as Huang Shaohong came in, the waiter stood up as a habit, smiled and wanted to come forward to greet him, but when he saw the person clearly, he immediately stopped and sat back angrily.
The shopkeeper who was doing the accounting at the counter only glanced at it, then lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus again.
Huang Shaohong was a little funny. He had already guessed something and said deliberately: "Why are the guests here and no one is greeting them?"
The waiter didn't get up, but just said with a smile: "You'd better pay the arrears for the wine first, and I will treat you well then!"
The shopkeeper said without raising his head: "Mr. Huang, we are running a small business, and with your previous care, we can't rush you for the wine money we owe, but we can't take credit anymore!"
When Huang Shaohong saw the attitudes of the two people and thought of what the boatman's father and daughter had said, he naturally knew that this was another mess caused by his predecessor.
He immediately turned over a dozen silver coins and placed them on the table: "Is this enough to pay the bill?"
When the shopkeeper saw the money, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked out of the counter, checked it, and then nodded with a smile: "That's enough. You paid five or eight dollars on credit before, and I'll give you the change right now!"
Huang Shaohong waved his hand and said: "No need to look for it. You can put the rest of the good wine and food on the top. We will refund more and make up less. Don't be afraid that I don't have money, just be afraid that you don't have good things!"
After saying that, he dug out a certain amount of silver and put it on the table.
In the excitement of the showcase, he turned around and kicked the stupid waiter, and cursed: "A distinguished guest like Mr. Huang is here, and you still bother to greet me and are lazy here again. Let's see if I can beat you later!"
"Alas..." The clerk stood up quickly, smiled sarcastically at Huang Shaohong, found a window seat, and wiped the already clean seat with a rag:
"Master Huang, please take a seat first. I will make you some tea. Your favorite Biluochun will be ready soon!"
Huang Shaohong nodded, and when he saw that the other party wiped the table and chairs without asking him, it was obvious that he liked to sit here before.
