The villains seem to be intimidated by me
Chapter 45
001.
Sensing the slippery and warm thing coming in from the corner of the quilt, Bai Moru slightly opened his eyes, but only saw a black furry thing wriggling by the moonlight.
Bai Moru moved his body, changed to a comfortable position, and then let the person who got into his bed lean towards him.
The person who got into his quilt and hid in his arms immediately leaned over and buried his head in his chest.
Bai Moru stretched out his hand to hug him habitually, but when he raised his hand, he touched the smooth thing, he was slightly stunned, his drowsiness was gradually dispelled by the warm thing.
In the darkness, Bai Moru opened his eyes again. He lowered his head to look at the man with only the tip of his head exposed. The hand under the quilt slid up the smooth back, stroking from the tailbone to the Round and strong shoulders.
Shan Yucheng still has some flesh on his body. The strong and slender body hidden under the white clothes on weekdays has perfect proportions that are enviable. The skin that is almost wheat-colored is firm and powerful. You can feel the beautiful lines when you hold it in your hand .
Sensing Bai Moru's movement, Shan Yucheng, who was hiding himself in the quilt, moved up, and poked his head out from the quilt with a sound of 'Bo', revealing his blushing cheeks.
Shan Yucheng's appearance is very handsome, with clear and three-dimensional facial features, a pair of amber eyes that make people stay away when he is not smiling, but always shone with a warm light when he smiles, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Those sexy thin lips are always pursed gently when not smiling, coupled with that alienated and spotless temperament, it always makes people have the urge to kiss him.
At this moment, after the sculpted clear and cold facial features on his face were broken by shame, they showed another kind of crazy charm.
"Don't sleep well, what are you doing here?" Bai Moru's voice sounded above Shan Yucheng's head.
While speaking, he lowered his head slightly and left a kiss on Shan Yucheng's forehead.
Since Shan Yucheng decided to stay, he often sneaked into his room at night and took half of his bed away.
In summer, Bai Moru always felt that his body was scalding hot, but since autumn, Bai Moru gradually liked this man's cat-like clingy behavior, because this man's body is always warm , being hugged by him is like hugging a heater, making him unable to extricate himself.
"Can't sleep." Shan Yucheng's words were true.
He has been very excited since Bai Moru held his hand at noon, and in the afternoon he went all out to help Bai Moru make snacks. Now he is all excited, so he doesn't feel sleepy at all.
And because of the help in the afternoon, Shan Yucheng's arms are a little sore at the moment, which makes him even more sleepless.
Bai Moru squinted his eyes and hugged the person in his arms, stroking the warm back with his broad and powerful palms, stroking along the hair, once and for all.
Shan Yucheng was touched comfortably, and when he stuffed himself into Bai Moru's arms, his whole body became hot. He hugged the person in his arms and rubbed his face on the person's chest, then closed his eyes and enjoyed the whiteness. Mo Runa touched her up and down.
The two of them often slept in the embrace of each other, and they did some more intimate things, but most of the time, Bai Moru didn't need to do much, as long as he touched him like this, he could feel comfortable humming. Voice.
The breath of Bai Moru's body was completely in the quilt, Bai Moru's clear and powerful heartbeat sounded in his ears, and Bai Moru's warm body was in his arms. Shan Yucheng closed his eyes and felt all this, only felt that there was something in his heart. Things melt into water and become soft.
Feeling comfortable, Shan Yucheng put his arm into Bai Moru's palm, begging to rub it silently.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the store? Do you want to recruit people?" Shan Yucheng asked.
If possible, he wished that Bai Moru could stay with him every day like today, instead of hiding in the kitchen and kneading his dough every day.
"Huh?" Bai Moru replied lazily with his eyes closed.
Shan Yucheng thought for a while, then changed his way and said to Bai Moru: "I heard from the fifth day of the afternoon that the two brothers who lived in the Town God's Temple came to the shop again?"
Bai Moru closed his eyes and snorted lightly, which was regarded as an answer to his question.
"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I told me that the two brothers' homes were hit by floods before, and now they are unaccompanied. The elder brother and his younger brother fled all the way and have nowhere to go." Shan Yucheng, who buried his head in Bai Moru's chest, was depressed. "Why don't you let them stay and help?"
In that way, he can occupy more of Bai Moru's time.
"Stay?" Bai Moru finally opened his mouth.
"That's right, our store is understaffed now, and no matter how we recruit people, we are afraid of something like Xiaorui's happening. It's better to keep these two people and let them help." Shan Yucheng's voice vibrated in the quilt when he spoke, and the tip of his nose was slightly shaken. Itching, he couldn't help rubbing the tip of his nose against Bai Moru's chest after he finished speaking.
When Shan Yucheng saw these two people before, the older boy was selling himself for medicine on the street, the petite one had been ill for some time, and the young one had few days to live.
He had thought of this idea at the time, so he spent some money to keep the man, and paid for the medicine to cure the younger one.
After finishing speaking, after hearing that Bai Moru didn't speak for a while, Shan Yucheng said softly again: "Those two people should have no relatives and no fixed place, if they are left behind, something like Xiaorui will definitely not happen when they come. , secondly, it can be regarded as a good deed." Thirdly, he can spend more time with him.
Bai Moru didn't speak, but the still moving hand in the quilt proved that the master had not fallen asleep.
After waiting for a while, Shan Yucheng still didn't wait for Bai Moru's answer. He struggled to get up and got his head out of the quilt, and said softly, "What do you think?"
Bai Moru thought for a while, and then his voice sounded sleepy, "Can he read?"
Without thinking about it, Shan Yucheng said: "For those who can read, my family used to be a small family, and the family provided some books for the two of them, but after the flood, only the two of them were left."
Shan Yucheng answered smoothly, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have slipped his mouth. He probably didn't know those two people, so how could he know what happened to them before?
After realizing what he said, Shan Yucheng looked at Bai Moru nervously, but the latter said as if he didn't notice, "That's fine, just stay! It just so happens that the store also needs help."
Shan Yucheng heaved a sigh of relief, got into the quilt and lay down back to the position just now.
It was a little stuffy under the quilt, but Shan Yucheng liked the feeling of Bai Moru's breath in his nostrils.
"Why do you ask them if they can read?" Shan Yucheng was a little curious, as Bai Moru had never asked these questions when recruiting people before.
"It's nothing, I just thought that if I can read and write, I can help with some accounts in the future." Bai Moru's voice was still low and lazy, and he didn't even open his eyes when he spoke.
But Bai Moru said these words lazily, but it sounded like thunder to Shan Yucheng's ears. He popped out of the quilt in an instant and stared at Bai Moru in disbelief, "Accounting?"
Isn't he always doing the accounts in the store?
Why did Bai Moru suddenly think of finding someone to do this?
In the dark, Shan Yucheng stared at Bai Moru's face, he felt uneasy, he, the shopkeeper, has been doing well, could it be that he did something wrong so Bai Moru planned to replace him?
That won't work!
The shopkeeper seat in this store is his!
It was his before, it is his now, and it will only be his in the future. He will never allow the position of shopkeeper to be replaced by anyone.
Bai Moru was in charge of the snacks in the shop, and he was in charge of the accounts of the shop.This matter is recognized by everyone, how can it be changed as soon as it is said, and if it is changed, what will he do in the future?
"It has been almost two months since the store opened, and some materials in the store are almost used up. I plan to ask my brother to go shopping in a few days. It is best to have someone by his side." Bai Mo Ru tugged at the quilt, making the air-tight quilt tightly covered.
Shan Yucheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he was not prepared to compromise like this, "I'll just go." He will never allow anyone to shake the position of shopkeeper in this store.
"If you go with my brother, who will watch in the shop?" Bai Moru finally opened his eyes slightly.
Shan Yucheng was questioned. Even if he wanted to do this kind of thing, he would be incapable of doing it, and he couldn't do both.
"Isn't brother good at settling accounts?" Shan Yucheng said unwillingly.
Bai Xueming has read some books, although because of his personality and Lin Xuecui, he didn't read much, but the basic accounting is still completely fine.
"When you go out to buy things, it's better to be two people." Bai Moru said, "Plus, he has such a personality. If he doesn't have more people to help watch, he might be tricked into selling by a profiteer."
Shan Yucheng frowned slightly, what Bai Moru said was reasonable, but this reason could not convince him.
Knowing that Bai Moru was not planning to replace him as the shopkeeper, he heaved a sigh of relief, but wouldn't there be two bookkeepers in the store?
Thinking that what he did was about to be split in half by others, as if Bai Moru in his arms would also be split up, Shan Yucheng was very upset in his heart.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow, go to sleep." Bai Moru pulled the quilt and covered them up.
Shan Yucheng lay back to the position just now, he hugged the person in his arms, listening to the gentle heartbeat, but his thoughts were still on this matter.
When Bai Moru's arm was rubbed comfortably, Shan Yucheng took Bai Moru's hand and rubbed it distressedly, fearing that he would be tired.
But after he rubbed Bai Moru's arm comfortably, his arm felt a little sore again, but this time Shan Yucheng was not willing to let Bai Moru rub it for him, he rubbed his arms around the person in his arms, Satisfied, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When autumn comes, the bleak smell of autumn pervades the streets, and the lush trees on both sides of the street all have withered and yellow leaves.
Occasionally, when the autumn wind blows up, you can also see the scene of falling leaves.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was hiding behind layers of clouds, and the weather was slightly cool, with a bit of humidity in the air, as if an autumn rain was brewing.
After everyone got up and washed, they went to the shop as usual.
When going out, Shan Yucheng told him what Bai Moru promised last night on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and asked him to go to the Town God's Temple to find him back.
After everyone opened the door in the store and finished packing, Chu Wu had already led the people to the back door.
Entering the courtyard through the back door, Chu Wu led the two people to Liu Ru and Bai Xueming who were in the courtyard, and introduced them one by one.
"The older one is called Zhongqing, and the younger one is called Zhongjiang. They are brothers. They used to live in the south, but they ended up living here because of a flood at home." After finishing speaking dutifully on the fifth day of the lunar new year, they turned back and said to Liu Ru: "Madam Bai, don't worry, the two of them are now obedient."
Because of what happened to Xiaorui before, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming are a little scared now.
After listening to the words of the fifth day of the lunar new year, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming looked at the two people who looked a little embarrassed and thin because of the famine.
Zhongqing was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was handsome and not too tall. In addition, after experiencing a period of famine, he looked thin and dry.
Compared to his elder brother Zhongqing, his younger brother Zhongjiang was even more embarrassed. After all, he was still a child, and he looked very happy after fleeing for a period of time.
These two are brothers, so they naturally have some similarities in appearance, especially those eyes. Even if others don't tell them, outsiders can guess the relationship between the two just by looking at those eyes.
"Master Bai has already agreed, and I have agreed with them." Chu Wu said again.
After hearing this, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming smiled.
002.
Because it was Bai Moru who called back, Liu Ru immediately let go of her guard. She hurried over and looked at the two of them for a while, and then said with a bit of distress: "Oh, how thin are you? You must eat it." Less suffering!"
Bai Xueming nodded again and again when he saw it, the two of them were indeed too thin.
Probably because of Bai Moru, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming hated such a person the most, and the younger one was ill again, which inevitably made them feel a little distressed.
"Since they are here, I will take them home to tidy up, and bring them here later to let them get acquainted with the store." Liu Ru said.
These two people also came by coincidence, they happened to meet Guang's private house and they had nothing to do, if Liu Ru came at another time, he would not have such time.
When the two heard this, they knew that Bai Xueming and Liu Ruru were willing to keep them, and quickly thanked Liu Ru and Bai Xueming with red eyes.
At this moment, Shan Yucheng was not in the courtyard, but was with Bai Moru in the kitchen, so the two of them thanked Liu Ru and then looked back at the fifth day of the lunar new year. After the fifth day of the first day, they followed Liu Ru Ru walked out of the yard towards the small courtyard.
The two had been living in the Town God's Temple before. Although the clothes on their bodies had been washed, they were already very old and a little tattered. Before that, Liu Ru gave them the old clothes worn by Bai Xueming and Bai Moru at home. The two had a change of clothes.
But this is not enough, Bai Xueming and Bai Moru are both taller than the two of them, and the clothes on them look a little baggy.
After Liu Ru brought him home, he boiled water for them to take a bath, and took the previous clothes and changed them a little, so that the two of them could barely wear them so that they would not be too baggy.
After the two of them finished washing, Liu Ru cooked at home again, and then mentioned it to the store together.
After the meal, Liu Ru prepared to take the two of them to familiarize themselves with the store, and took this opportunity to teach them what they should do in normal times.But Bai Moru stopped the two of them at this moment, and took them to the backyard alone.
In the small backyard, the two stood on the left and on the right. Seeing Bai Moru sizing up the two of them, they felt a little apprehensive, especially the smaller one, who hid directly behind his brother.
Bai Moru sized up the two of them for a while, and then asked, "I heard you can read?"
The older Zhongqing nodded quickly. He has a quiet personality, but he seems to be quite smart. It is probably because of this opportunity to escape that he has become a little autistic.
"Can you settle accounts?" Bai Moru asked again.
While talking, Bai Moru reached for the teapot on the table and poured three cups of tea.
Because Bai Moru likes to drink tea, I don't know when it started, no matter in the shop or in the yard, the water in the teapot is always warm anytime and anywhere.
After pouring the tea, Bai Moru pointed to the stool in front of him for the two to sit down, and then pushed the tea over.
The two Zhongqing and Zhongjiang brothers sat down, moved the teacups on the table but did not dare to drink.
Zhong Qing said: "I can do math, my previous master praised me for being good at math."
After getting the answer, Bai Moru nodded, took a sip of the tea in his cup, and then said: "Since you are planning to stay, I will also tell you about the rules in this shop."
Zhong Qing waited in full force, and Zhong Jiang at the side saw him, and imitated his elder brother's appearance, straightened his back and sat obediently.
"Don't be nervous. Since I have promised to keep you, I won't drive you away." Bai Moru only thought it was funny, but when he saw the two brothers, his brow became a little warmer, "On weekdays, you two Follow us to help in this store, all you have to do is serve tea and water, after a while you can come to the kitchen and try to learn how to make desserts, if you can learn it well, you can stay in the kitchen to help."
Zhong Qing nodded, Chu Wu had already told him about these things before.
"There are four days of rest in a month, and you can do something you like." Bai Moru said, although he had already guessed that there might be some agreement between Shan Yucheng and these two people, but he did not Not prepared to be harsh on these two.
Hearing Bai Moru's words, Zhong Qing, who was waiting in battle, raised his face slightly in surprise and looked at Bai Moru.
Although Zhongqing didn’t buy servants in his family before, he probably knew that the servants of big families didn’t have any holidays. Most of them can give you one day off in a month, which is good enough.
"As for the monthly payment, it will be calculated according to the former workers in the shop." The monthly payment given by Bai Moru is the same as that of other workers in the shop on the street. He does not intend to treat these two harshly, nor does he He was going to dig out his heart and soul for these two people from the very beginning or give some extra monthly money because he sympathized with their experiences. After all, he had earned the money himself.
Hearing Bai Moru's words, Zhongqing was surprised, he thought that Shan Yucheng bought him and sent him to this store to let him help as a servant.
Although he appeared to be a small worker hired by Bai Moru, in reality he was quite clear about his identity.
Now it seems that it seems a little different?
Zhongqing was puzzled, but he didn't ask Bai Moru out, but reserved his doubts and planned to ask Chu Wu later.
Zhong Jiang at the side peeked at the tea in front of him, swallowed, but didn't dare to drink it.
"As for your younger brother, he can follow you, and he can also go to the store to help out on weekdays. He takes care of food and housing just like you, but he doesn't get paid." Bai Moru said.
Zhongjiang is only ten years old now. Although a child from a poor family has long been in charge of the house, cleaning the table and sweeping the floor should not be a problem, but he is still young and can't do much.
Bai Moru didn't give him wages, on the one hand because he really can't do much, on the other hand, because he didn't want to be bound by this, after all, he was still a child, if he didn't get paid, he wouldn't belong to him, if he was older If you want to do something else, you can make a choice.
It's just that Zhongqing, unless there is any accident, probably has to follow him all the time.
After hearing Bai Moru's arrangement for his younger brother, Zhongqing rarely showed a smile on his thin face, "Thank you!"
They have fled here, and have been living in no fixed place for several months and have been spurned by others. Now they can have a place to live and have a full meal, which is enough to make them grateful.
"Now that you understand, let's go and have a look!" Bai Moru let him go.
Seeing Zhong Qing leading his younger brother Zhong Jiang to the front shop, Bai Moru couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.
These two people are pure, and their personalities are relatively straightforward. All the thoughts in their hearts are fully displayed in those eyes, and they can't hide things at all.Thinking about it, if it wasn't for the flood at home, it should be a child spoiled by the family.
Seeing these two people running away one after the other, Bai Moru did not leave the courtyard, he was still drinking the tea in his cup.
On the other side, Shan Yucheng hid behind the door and saw the two men running towards the store, so he calmed down and went back to the counter as if nothing had happened to continue to settle his account.
Zhongqing found Liu Ru, took his little tail-like brother with him, and began to learn how Liu Ru worked in the shop.
Because the Guangjia people are very self-conscious, they will take back the dishes after eating, and they just need to help them wash them and stack them neatly, so now they really have nothing to do, so Liu Ru had to take someone to take a rag and leave it in the store. Wipe right wipe.
When Zhongqing took the rag and put it in front of the counter, Shan Yucheng, who was behind the counter to settle the accounts, suddenly exploded. He threw himself on the counter and covered the counter with his hands.
Shan Yucheng stared at Zhongqing warily, and threatened unhappily: "This counter is mine, you stay away from here, and it will be the same in the future."
This counter belongs to him, and the position of shopkeeper in this shop is also his, this person can't even try to grab it from him!
Zhong Qing, who was stared at, was a little dazed holding the rag, and didn't know whether to retreat or enter.
"I can wipe it myself." Shan Yucheng just squatted by the door and took advantage of the gap to see it. Bai Moru seemed to like this person quite a bit, which made him instantly alert.
"But..." Zhong Qing hesitated.
While the two were talking, Bai Moru pushed the door open and came in.
He saw Shan Yucheng who was almost lying on the counter and covering the counter domineeringly to prevent Zhongqing from touching him, he was a little surprised, because Shan Yucheng was almost climbing on the counter, his appearance looked a little funny .
Shan Yucheng didn't care at the moment, he vowed to defend his territory.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the store door, and a cloyingly sweet female voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Bai, brother Bai..." The voice of the proprietress of the cloth shop across the street could be heard all over the street.
Seeing this, Bai Moru had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the shop.
Because this place is reserved by the Guang family, and there are guards from the Guang family outside the door, so outsiders are not allowed to come in easily during this time.The proprietress of the cloth shop was stopped by the guards standing at the door, so she yelled loudly.
Seeing Bai Moru coming to the door, the proprietress pushed away the person who was blocking her and rushed in, running to Bai Moru's side.
As soon as she ran close, a scent of incense powder rushed towards her.
Today, the proprietress is dressed in white, and the fabric on her body is also very good. She also embroidered flowers of the same color after learning from Shan Yucheng, but the white wears on Shan Yucheng's body, which has a bit of dusty air, and it complements Shan Yucheng's body when she wears it. It made her already affluent body even more rounded.
The proprietress looked good, with thin willow-leaf eyebrows, pink lips, and I don't know if her cheeks were powdered or just like that, flushed.
"Brother Bai, they called you, why don't you answer." The proprietress winked at Bai Moru rather aggrieved.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Bai Moru asked softly.
"Of course I have something to do with you, otherwise why would they be calling here for so long?" The landlady's voice became sweeter, and when she spoke, she raised her hand and patted Bai Moru's chest lightly.
"Sorry, the shop is temporarily closed for a few days and will not be open to the public. If you want to have some snacks, please wait another two or three days." Bai Moru took a step back imperceptibly, opening the distance between the two.
He knew that the proprietress was not bad, but he couldn't bear the overly intimate behavior of the proprietress, especially the trembling way of speaking.
"No, I'm not looking for you to eat." The proprietress waved her hand, "I'm looking for you today because I want to invite you to go on a cruise."
"Pleasure boat?" Bai Moru wanted to refuse without thinking.
Over there, the proprietress said before him: "Don't you know? Several towns upstream of us have organized flower boats, and they will come to our town tonight. This is a rare scene in a few years. If you want to see it today, you will have to wait a few years.”
"What ship?" For a moment, Bai Moru thought he heard it wrong.
"Flower boat!" the proprietress repeated.
"You asked me to take a flower boat tour..." Bai Moru sized up the proprietress, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
She is a woman, asking him to go on a flower boat tour?
003.
If he remembered correctly, the flower boats should exist in the same way as Huajie and Liuxiang, and they were in the business of flesh and blood.
Bai Moru sized up the person in front of him, and after a while his eyes suddenly widened as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly took two steps back in some horror to widen the distance between the two of them.
"Oh, little brother Bai, where are you going!" The proprietress was even more expert than him, seeing that Bai Moru guessed what Bai Moru was thinking like this, she was immediately ashamed.
Bai Moru looked at the person in front of him warily, he really didn't understand what this person was thinking.
"The flower boat is very beautiful. Not only are there girls, but there are also many teams of playing and dancing, which is very lively." The proprietress smiled, "Every time there is such a thing, many people in the town will go to see it. Let me make an appointment with you first, so that I can get a good seat first."
Bai Moru was really moved by her words, he had never seen such a thing.
Besides, from what the proprietress said, it seemed that the flower boat was not as unsightly as he thought, and it was probably quite entertaining in this small town where there was hardly any excitement to see.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of anything you are afraid of!" Seeing that Bai Moru was still hesitating, the proprietress wanted to go out the door after pulling him away.
Seeing this, Bai Moru hastily tugged on the door frame to avoid being dragged out of the door by him.
Although he didn't dislike the proprietress, he was really on guard, because she seemed to be eager to pounce on her at any time.
"Wait, I have to talk to my family if I want to go out, and I need to take a thicker cloak." Bai Moru's left hand was swollen with veins, and he grabbed the door frame with all his strength, and his right hand was pulled out by the proprietress.
Hearing what Bai Moru said, the proprietress stopped, and after thinking for a while, she urged: "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you here, I even rented the boat."
Bai Moru nodded, then entered the door, and told Liu Ru about going out at night.
When Liu Ru heard that he was going to see the flower boat, there was no strange expression on his face, which further confirmed Bai Moru's guess.She just told him to take the cloak, and told him to go home early so as not to catch a cold. At the end, she also put some snacks for Bai Moru to keep Bai Moru from starving.
After talking with Liu Ru, Bai Moru went back to the small courtyard to get the cloak, and when he returned to the door of the store, there were already a bunch of people standing in front of the store.
Shan Yucheng was staring at the proprietress warily, with haze flashing in his eyes from time to time.
The well-built proprietress stared at the group of people around her, with the words 'not welcome' written on her face, and beside her was a man with gray hair who was older than her, and he was staring at the proprietress.
The old Xu and his group who got the news from who knows where are also there. Recently, for some reason, they have gathered eight more people, and they are all very excited at the moment.
From a distance, Shan Yucheng was the first to see Bai Moru walking towards them.
He walked forward quickly, took the snacks in Bai Moru's hands and the cloak in his hands, "I'll carry them for you."
Seeing that Bai Moru was holding a snack in his hand, and everyone besides Wang Du had smiles on their faces, that old Xu even raised the tea pot in his hand, "I brought tea."
After finishing speaking, Old Xu looked back at the proprietress who was obviously unhappy because the appearance of these people disrupted her date plan, and asked with a smile, "Is there a stove and teapot on board?"
The proprietress looked at Old Xu, she snorted angrily, then turned around and ignored Old Xu.
Seeing that she was angry, another man who had never seen her before was the owner of the cloth shop, so he hurried forward to persuade her, "Don't be angry, if you like it, I will accompany you to swim along the river with a flower boat." How is the month?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress' expression softened a bit.
Seeing that no one answered, Lao Xu hurried into the shop and took his precious tea set, as if he was going to take it to the boat to make tea.
Bai Moru stopped on the opposite side of the street. He took advantage of the cool autumn wind to look at the group of people who were talking to themselves. The sorrow in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a warm smile.
Looking back at Shan Yucheng who was carefully putting away the cloak he brought beside him, the warmth dissipated, and the dark eyes were a little more satisfied.
Bringing two or three friends, warming a pot of tea, taking half a plate of snacks, and someone willing to accompany him, these days don't always seem to be miserable, at least not now.
He is no longer the one who was controlled by the Bai family. Although he is still busy all day long to make a living, the busyness and hard work now are all worth it.
"What's the matter?" Shan Yucheng noticed the eyes of the people around him, and he tilted his head slightly and looked back suspiciously.
"It's okay, let's go, if you drag it on, you won't be able to see anything." Bai Moru said, he deliberately increased his voice so that the group of people on the opposite side could hear it.
After his voice fell, the crowd started to move forward, and walked towards the front in a noisy way.
Soon, a group of people came to the pier. Because of the flower boat coming later, the pier in the evening was crowded with people and very lively.
At the top of the originally simple and monotonous canal, there are many more boats at the moment, including passenger boats on weekdays, cargo ships, and many large and small boats that have never been seen before.On the bank of the river, at first glance, the crowds were crowded and disorganized. They were all small vendors selling snacks, food or gadgets. Bai Moru even saw fortune-telling banners hanging among them.
Many people who hadn't boarded the boat pointed at the river by the railings by the river, as if they were looking forward to the arrival of the flower boat team.
The proprietress, who had vomited all the way, was generous when she arrived at the place. She pushed away the crowd and led them to a boat by the pier, and took them aboard.
The boat is not big, it looks like a fishing boat, the oars are retracted, and only a fishing pole is inserted obliquely on the side of the boat.Red lanterns are hung on the canopy to illuminate the layout of the boat.Under the canopy was a square table with a stove beside it.
When everyone got on the boat, Wang Du on the side became interested, grabbed the fishing pole, untied the rope, and prepared to swim to the middle of the river with the boat.
Apparently, Wang Du didn't do this kind of thing very often. After he untied the rope and supported the pier with the fishing pole, he used too much force when he was about to let the boat leave the shore. He almost carried the fishing pole into the river.
Fortunately, the two people next to him quickly grabbed him with sharp eyes and hands, which prevented everyone from going into the water to catch him.
Seeing this, Old Wu in the crowd stepped forward and snatched the fishing pole from Wang Du's hand. He shook it skillfully, and quickly propped the boat away from the river.
The sky was getting dark gradually, and there was a lot of noise coming and going at the pier. Old Wu supported the boat to let the boat leave the pier and arrived at a relatively quiet place, then let the boat stop temporarily in the river.
They didn't go to the middle of the river, where the flower boats would pass by, and they would only block the way if they went there.
After the boat stopped, everyone found a place to sit on the boat, or tossed and boiled water to make tea, or looked with interest at the crowds gathered under the scattered lights on the shore.
When Lao Xu finished making a pot of tea, there was a faint light coming from the upstream side, and a moment later, there was laughter and singing.
Seeing this scene, the crowd became lively. At this time, no one knew who touched the firecrackers and set off the fireworks. The unsuspecting people on the shore were so scared that they cursed at others.
Shan Yucheng chose the seat next to Bai Moru and sat down. After getting on the boat, he handed back the cloak to Bai Moru for him to put on. Now that he got on the boat and sat down, he used the cloak to hide He quietly held Bai Moru's hand from below.
Feeling the temperature from the palm, the corners of Shan Yucheng's mouth were not flattened.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood that even when Wang Du, Li Jiu and others were making noise, he interrupted a few more words.
"...This flower boat is too stingy, not as good as the one I saw last time in the south." Old Wu obviously had high expectations for this flower boat, "There are only about twenty boats, right? The most I’ve ever seen was nearly a hundred ships.”
"Hundreds of boats, that's a big gathering, you can't think of such a small place." Li Jiu said.
The two talked on their lips, but their eyes kept staring at the flower boat from far to near.
As the sky darkened, after the procession of flower boats with many red lanterns approached, the smell of wine, rouge, water and wine came along with the sound of singing, dancing and laughter. The girls standing on the boat looked out from the deck or the window. Come out, waving and frolicking at the people on the shore.
Seeing this, the people on the bank laughed more boldly and exaggeratedly.
After the boat docked on the shore, the girls began to disembark and walk around, but they didn't stay away, they just laughed and played on the shore.
After a while, I don't know who took the lead, and some people started to get on the flower boat, drinking, listening to music and having fun.
In the night, on the boat, the people drinking tea and eating snacks were also lively, and Wang Du was even more excited, shouting that he wanted to have some fun.But his pleasure is not to find the beautiful girls on the flower boat, but to find the people on the boat.
He made everyone join in the boxing game, replacing wine with tea, and they would be punished if they lost.
The game was harmless, it was just for fun, so everyone naturally had no reason to refuse, even Bai Moru was a little more playful and wanted to see who would suffer first.However, when the loser in the first round was himself, Bai Moru couldn't help laughing.
Under the dim light, Bai Moru's black and white eyes were dull and dull, but the people in front of him were in high spirits.
"Sing! Sing!" Wang Du yelled, Li Jiu also booed, and the proprietress beside her covered her mouth and giggled, waiting for Bai Moru to speak.
"If you want to bet, you have to admit defeat..." Old Xu handed him the teacup, gloating in his eyes.
Bai Moru turned his attention to Shan Yucheng, but the latter took the teacup and turned his back to study, his shoulders trembling.
Seeing that he really couldn't escape this catastrophe, Bai Moru frowned slightly and thought for a moment before he opened his mouth. His deep and gentle voice sounded on the boat, "...I am a little duck, Eeeeeeeeeeeee?"
"puff……"
"Cough cough..."

Sensing the slippery and warm thing coming in from the corner of the quilt, Bai Moru slightly opened his eyes, but only saw a black furry thing wriggling by the moonlight.
Bai Moru moved his body, changed to a comfortable position, and then let the person who got into his bed lean towards him.
The person who got into his quilt and hid in his arms immediately leaned over and buried his head in his chest.
Bai Moru stretched out his hand to hug him habitually, but when he raised his hand, he touched the smooth thing, he was slightly stunned, his drowsiness was gradually dispelled by the warm thing.
In the darkness, Bai Moru opened his eyes again. He lowered his head to look at the man with only the tip of his head exposed. The hand under the quilt slid up the smooth back, stroking from the tailbone to the Round and strong shoulders.
Shan Yucheng still has some flesh on his body. The strong and slender body hidden under the white clothes on weekdays has perfect proportions that are enviable. The skin that is almost wheat-colored is firm and powerful. You can feel the beautiful lines when you hold it in your hand .
Sensing Bai Moru's movement, Shan Yucheng, who was hiding himself in the quilt, moved up, and poked his head out from the quilt with a sound of 'Bo', revealing his blushing cheeks.
Shan Yucheng's appearance is very handsome, with clear and three-dimensional facial features, a pair of amber eyes that make people stay away when he is not smiling, but always shone with a warm light when he smiles, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Those sexy thin lips are always pursed gently when not smiling, coupled with that alienated and spotless temperament, it always makes people have the urge to kiss him.
At this moment, after the sculpted clear and cold facial features on his face were broken by shame, they showed another kind of crazy charm.
"Don't sleep well, what are you doing here?" Bai Moru's voice sounded above Shan Yucheng's head.
While speaking, he lowered his head slightly and left a kiss on Shan Yucheng's forehead.
Since Shan Yucheng decided to stay, he often sneaked into his room at night and took half of his bed away.
In summer, Bai Moru always felt that his body was scalding hot, but since autumn, Bai Moru gradually liked this man's cat-like clingy behavior, because this man's body is always warm , being hugged by him is like hugging a heater, making him unable to extricate himself.
"Can't sleep." Shan Yucheng's words were true.
He has been very excited since Bai Moru held his hand at noon, and in the afternoon he went all out to help Bai Moru make snacks. Now he is all excited, so he doesn't feel sleepy at all.
And because of the help in the afternoon, Shan Yucheng's arms are a little sore at the moment, which makes him even more sleepless.
Bai Moru squinted his eyes and hugged the person in his arms, stroking the warm back with his broad and powerful palms, stroking along the hair, once and for all.
Shan Yucheng was touched comfortably, and when he stuffed himself into Bai Moru's arms, his whole body became hot. He hugged the person in his arms and rubbed his face on the person's chest, then closed his eyes and enjoyed the whiteness. Mo Runa touched her up and down.
The two of them often slept in the embrace of each other, and they did some more intimate things, but most of the time, Bai Moru didn't need to do much, as long as he touched him like this, he could feel comfortable humming. Voice.
The breath of Bai Moru's body was completely in the quilt, Bai Moru's clear and powerful heartbeat sounded in his ears, and Bai Moru's warm body was in his arms. Shan Yucheng closed his eyes and felt all this, only felt that there was something in his heart. Things melt into water and become soft.
Feeling comfortable, Shan Yucheng put his arm into Bai Moru's palm, begging to rub it silently.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the store? Do you want to recruit people?" Shan Yucheng asked.
If possible, he wished that Bai Moru could stay with him every day like today, instead of hiding in the kitchen and kneading his dough every day.
"Huh?" Bai Moru replied lazily with his eyes closed.
Shan Yucheng thought for a while, then changed his way and said to Bai Moru: "I heard from the fifth day of the afternoon that the two brothers who lived in the Town God's Temple came to the shop again?"
Bai Moru closed his eyes and snorted lightly, which was regarded as an answer to his question.
"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I told me that the two brothers' homes were hit by floods before, and now they are unaccompanied. The elder brother and his younger brother fled all the way and have nowhere to go." Shan Yucheng, who buried his head in Bai Moru's chest, was depressed. "Why don't you let them stay and help?"
In that way, he can occupy more of Bai Moru's time.
"Stay?" Bai Moru finally opened his mouth.
"That's right, our store is understaffed now, and no matter how we recruit people, we are afraid of something like Xiaorui's happening. It's better to keep these two people and let them help." Shan Yucheng's voice vibrated in the quilt when he spoke, and the tip of his nose was slightly shaken. Itching, he couldn't help rubbing the tip of his nose against Bai Moru's chest after he finished speaking.
When Shan Yucheng saw these two people before, the older boy was selling himself for medicine on the street, the petite one had been ill for some time, and the young one had few days to live.
He had thought of this idea at the time, so he spent some money to keep the man, and paid for the medicine to cure the younger one.
After finishing speaking, after hearing that Bai Moru didn't speak for a while, Shan Yucheng said softly again: "Those two people should have no relatives and no fixed place, if they are left behind, something like Xiaorui will definitely not happen when they come. , secondly, it can be regarded as a good deed." Thirdly, he can spend more time with him.
Bai Moru didn't speak, but the still moving hand in the quilt proved that the master had not fallen asleep.
After waiting for a while, Shan Yucheng still didn't wait for Bai Moru's answer. He struggled to get up and got his head out of the quilt, and said softly, "What do you think?"
Bai Moru thought for a while, and then his voice sounded sleepy, "Can he read?"
Without thinking about it, Shan Yucheng said: "For those who can read, my family used to be a small family, and the family provided some books for the two of them, but after the flood, only the two of them were left."
Shan Yucheng answered smoothly, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have slipped his mouth. He probably didn't know those two people, so how could he know what happened to them before?
After realizing what he said, Shan Yucheng looked at Bai Moru nervously, but the latter said as if he didn't notice, "That's fine, just stay! It just so happens that the store also needs help."
Shan Yucheng heaved a sigh of relief, got into the quilt and lay down back to the position just now.
It was a little stuffy under the quilt, but Shan Yucheng liked the feeling of Bai Moru's breath in his nostrils.
"Why do you ask them if they can read?" Shan Yucheng was a little curious, as Bai Moru had never asked these questions when recruiting people before.
"It's nothing, I just thought that if I can read and write, I can help with some accounts in the future." Bai Moru's voice was still low and lazy, and he didn't even open his eyes when he spoke.
But Bai Moru said these words lazily, but it sounded like thunder to Shan Yucheng's ears. He popped out of the quilt in an instant and stared at Bai Moru in disbelief, "Accounting?"
Isn't he always doing the accounts in the store?
Why did Bai Moru suddenly think of finding someone to do this?
In the dark, Shan Yucheng stared at Bai Moru's face, he felt uneasy, he, the shopkeeper, has been doing well, could it be that he did something wrong so Bai Moru planned to replace him?
That won't work!
The shopkeeper seat in this store is his!
It was his before, it is his now, and it will only be his in the future. He will never allow the position of shopkeeper to be replaced by anyone.
Bai Moru was in charge of the snacks in the shop, and he was in charge of the accounts of the shop.This matter is recognized by everyone, how can it be changed as soon as it is said, and if it is changed, what will he do in the future?
"It has been almost two months since the store opened, and some materials in the store are almost used up. I plan to ask my brother to go shopping in a few days. It is best to have someone by his side." Bai Mo Ru tugged at the quilt, making the air-tight quilt tightly covered.
Shan Yucheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but he was not prepared to compromise like this, "I'll just go." He will never allow anyone to shake the position of shopkeeper in this store.
"If you go with my brother, who will watch in the shop?" Bai Moru finally opened his eyes slightly.
Shan Yucheng was questioned. Even if he wanted to do this kind of thing, he would be incapable of doing it, and he couldn't do both.
"Isn't brother good at settling accounts?" Shan Yucheng said unwillingly.
Bai Xueming has read some books, although because of his personality and Lin Xuecui, he didn't read much, but the basic accounting is still completely fine.
"When you go out to buy things, it's better to be two people." Bai Moru said, "Plus, he has such a personality. If he doesn't have more people to help watch, he might be tricked into selling by a profiteer."
Shan Yucheng frowned slightly, what Bai Moru said was reasonable, but this reason could not convince him.
Knowing that Bai Moru was not planning to replace him as the shopkeeper, he heaved a sigh of relief, but wouldn't there be two bookkeepers in the store?
Thinking that what he did was about to be split in half by others, as if Bai Moru in his arms would also be split up, Shan Yucheng was very upset in his heart.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow, go to sleep." Bai Moru pulled the quilt and covered them up.
Shan Yucheng lay back to the position just now, he hugged the person in his arms, listening to the gentle heartbeat, but his thoughts were still on this matter.
When Bai Moru's arm was rubbed comfortably, Shan Yucheng took Bai Moru's hand and rubbed it distressedly, fearing that he would be tired.
But after he rubbed Bai Moru's arm comfortably, his arm felt a little sore again, but this time Shan Yucheng was not willing to let Bai Moru rub it for him, he rubbed his arms around the person in his arms, Satisfied, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When autumn comes, the bleak smell of autumn pervades the streets, and the lush trees on both sides of the street all have withered and yellow leaves.
Occasionally, when the autumn wind blows up, you can also see the scene of falling leaves.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was hiding behind layers of clouds, and the weather was slightly cool, with a bit of humidity in the air, as if an autumn rain was brewing.
After everyone got up and washed, they went to the shop as usual.
When going out, Shan Yucheng told him what Bai Moru promised last night on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and asked him to go to the Town God's Temple to find him back.
After everyone opened the door in the store and finished packing, Chu Wu had already led the people to the back door.
Entering the courtyard through the back door, Chu Wu led the two people to Liu Ru and Bai Xueming who were in the courtyard, and introduced them one by one.
"The older one is called Zhongqing, and the younger one is called Zhongjiang. They are brothers. They used to live in the south, but they ended up living here because of a flood at home." After finishing speaking dutifully on the fifth day of the lunar new year, they turned back and said to Liu Ru: "Madam Bai, don't worry, the two of them are now obedient."
Because of what happened to Xiaorui before, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming are a little scared now.
After listening to the words of the fifth day of the lunar new year, both Liu Ru and Bai Xueming looked at the two people who looked a little embarrassed and thin because of the famine.
Zhongqing was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was handsome and not too tall. In addition, after experiencing a period of famine, he looked thin and dry.
Compared to his elder brother Zhongqing, his younger brother Zhongjiang was even more embarrassed. After all, he was still a child, and he looked very happy after fleeing for a period of time.
These two are brothers, so they naturally have some similarities in appearance, especially those eyes. Even if others don't tell them, outsiders can guess the relationship between the two just by looking at those eyes.
"Master Bai has already agreed, and I have agreed with them." Chu Wu said again.
After hearing this, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming smiled.
002.
Because it was Bai Moru who called back, Liu Ru immediately let go of her guard. She hurried over and looked at the two of them for a while, and then said with a bit of distress: "Oh, how thin are you? You must eat it." Less suffering!"
Bai Xueming nodded again and again when he saw it, the two of them were indeed too thin.
Probably because of Bai Moru, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming hated such a person the most, and the younger one was ill again, which inevitably made them feel a little distressed.
"Since they are here, I will take them home to tidy up, and bring them here later to let them get acquainted with the store." Liu Ru said.
These two people also came by coincidence, they happened to meet Guang's private house and they had nothing to do, if Liu Ru came at another time, he would not have such time.
When the two heard this, they knew that Bai Xueming and Liu Ruru were willing to keep them, and quickly thanked Liu Ru and Bai Xueming with red eyes.
At this moment, Shan Yucheng was not in the courtyard, but was with Bai Moru in the kitchen, so the two of them thanked Liu Ru and then looked back at the fifth day of the lunar new year. After the fifth day of the first day, they followed Liu Ru Ru walked out of the yard towards the small courtyard.
The two had been living in the Town God's Temple before. Although the clothes on their bodies had been washed, they were already very old and a little tattered. Before that, Liu Ru gave them the old clothes worn by Bai Xueming and Bai Moru at home. The two had a change of clothes.
But this is not enough, Bai Xueming and Bai Moru are both taller than the two of them, and the clothes on them look a little baggy.
After Liu Ru brought him home, he boiled water for them to take a bath, and took the previous clothes and changed them a little, so that the two of them could barely wear them so that they would not be too baggy.
After the two of them finished washing, Liu Ru cooked at home again, and then mentioned it to the store together.
After the meal, Liu Ru prepared to take the two of them to familiarize themselves with the store, and took this opportunity to teach them what they should do in normal times.But Bai Moru stopped the two of them at this moment, and took them to the backyard alone.
In the small backyard, the two stood on the left and on the right. Seeing Bai Moru sizing up the two of them, they felt a little apprehensive, especially the smaller one, who hid directly behind his brother.
Bai Moru sized up the two of them for a while, and then asked, "I heard you can read?"
The older Zhongqing nodded quickly. He has a quiet personality, but he seems to be quite smart. It is probably because of this opportunity to escape that he has become a little autistic.
"Can you settle accounts?" Bai Moru asked again.
While talking, Bai Moru reached for the teapot on the table and poured three cups of tea.
Because Bai Moru likes to drink tea, I don't know when it started, no matter in the shop or in the yard, the water in the teapot is always warm anytime and anywhere.
After pouring the tea, Bai Moru pointed to the stool in front of him for the two to sit down, and then pushed the tea over.
The two Zhongqing and Zhongjiang brothers sat down, moved the teacups on the table but did not dare to drink.
Zhong Qing said: "I can do math, my previous master praised me for being good at math."
After getting the answer, Bai Moru nodded, took a sip of the tea in his cup, and then said: "Since you are planning to stay, I will also tell you about the rules in this shop."
Zhong Qing waited in full force, and Zhong Jiang at the side saw him, and imitated his elder brother's appearance, straightened his back and sat obediently.
"Don't be nervous. Since I have promised to keep you, I won't drive you away." Bai Moru only thought it was funny, but when he saw the two brothers, his brow became a little warmer, "On weekdays, you two Follow us to help in this store, all you have to do is serve tea and water, after a while you can come to the kitchen and try to learn how to make desserts, if you can learn it well, you can stay in the kitchen to help."
Zhong Qing nodded, Chu Wu had already told him about these things before.
"There are four days of rest in a month, and you can do something you like." Bai Moru said, although he had already guessed that there might be some agreement between Shan Yucheng and these two people, but he did not Not prepared to be harsh on these two.
Hearing Bai Moru's words, Zhong Qing, who was waiting in battle, raised his face slightly in surprise and looked at Bai Moru.
Although Zhongqing didn’t buy servants in his family before, he probably knew that the servants of big families didn’t have any holidays. Most of them can give you one day off in a month, which is good enough.
"As for the monthly payment, it will be calculated according to the former workers in the shop." The monthly payment given by Bai Moru is the same as that of other workers in the shop on the street. He does not intend to treat these two harshly, nor does he He was going to dig out his heart and soul for these two people from the very beginning or give some extra monthly money because he sympathized with their experiences. After all, he had earned the money himself.
Hearing Bai Moru's words, Zhongqing was surprised, he thought that Shan Yucheng bought him and sent him to this store to let him help as a servant.
Although he appeared to be a small worker hired by Bai Moru, in reality he was quite clear about his identity.
Now it seems that it seems a little different?
Zhongqing was puzzled, but he didn't ask Bai Moru out, but reserved his doubts and planned to ask Chu Wu later.
Zhong Jiang at the side peeked at the tea in front of him, swallowed, but didn't dare to drink it.
"As for your younger brother, he can follow you, and he can also go to the store to help out on weekdays. He takes care of food and housing just like you, but he doesn't get paid." Bai Moru said.
Zhongjiang is only ten years old now. Although a child from a poor family has long been in charge of the house, cleaning the table and sweeping the floor should not be a problem, but he is still young and can't do much.
Bai Moru didn't give him wages, on the one hand because he really can't do much, on the other hand, because he didn't want to be bound by this, after all, he was still a child, if he didn't get paid, he wouldn't belong to him, if he was older If you want to do something else, you can make a choice.
It's just that Zhongqing, unless there is any accident, probably has to follow him all the time.
After hearing Bai Moru's arrangement for his younger brother, Zhongqing rarely showed a smile on his thin face, "Thank you!"
They have fled here, and have been living in no fixed place for several months and have been spurned by others. Now they can have a place to live and have a full meal, which is enough to make them grateful.
"Now that you understand, let's go and have a look!" Bai Moru let him go.
Seeing Zhong Qing leading his younger brother Zhong Jiang to the front shop, Bai Moru couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.
These two people are pure, and their personalities are relatively straightforward. All the thoughts in their hearts are fully displayed in those eyes, and they can't hide things at all.Thinking about it, if it wasn't for the flood at home, it should be a child spoiled by the family.
Seeing these two people running away one after the other, Bai Moru did not leave the courtyard, he was still drinking the tea in his cup.
On the other side, Shan Yucheng hid behind the door and saw the two men running towards the store, so he calmed down and went back to the counter as if nothing had happened to continue to settle his account.
Zhongqing found Liu Ru, took his little tail-like brother with him, and began to learn how Liu Ru worked in the shop.
Because the Guangjia people are very self-conscious, they will take back the dishes after eating, and they just need to help them wash them and stack them neatly, so now they really have nothing to do, so Liu Ru had to take someone to take a rag and leave it in the store. Wipe right wipe.
When Zhongqing took the rag and put it in front of the counter, Shan Yucheng, who was behind the counter to settle the accounts, suddenly exploded. He threw himself on the counter and covered the counter with his hands.
Shan Yucheng stared at Zhongqing warily, and threatened unhappily: "This counter is mine, you stay away from here, and it will be the same in the future."
This counter belongs to him, and the position of shopkeeper in this shop is also his, this person can't even try to grab it from him!
Zhong Qing, who was stared at, was a little dazed holding the rag, and didn't know whether to retreat or enter.
"I can wipe it myself." Shan Yucheng just squatted by the door and took advantage of the gap to see it. Bai Moru seemed to like this person quite a bit, which made him instantly alert.
"But..." Zhong Qing hesitated.
While the two were talking, Bai Moru pushed the door open and came in.
He saw Shan Yucheng who was almost lying on the counter and covering the counter domineeringly to prevent Zhongqing from touching him, he was a little surprised, because Shan Yucheng was almost climbing on the counter, his appearance looked a little funny .
Shan Yucheng didn't care at the moment, he vowed to defend his territory.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the store door, and a cloyingly sweet female voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Bai, brother Bai..." The voice of the proprietress of the cloth shop across the street could be heard all over the street.
Seeing this, Bai Moru had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the shop.
Because this place is reserved by the Guang family, and there are guards from the Guang family outside the door, so outsiders are not allowed to come in easily during this time.The proprietress of the cloth shop was stopped by the guards standing at the door, so she yelled loudly.
Seeing Bai Moru coming to the door, the proprietress pushed away the person who was blocking her and rushed in, running to Bai Moru's side.
As soon as she ran close, a scent of incense powder rushed towards her.
Today, the proprietress is dressed in white, and the fabric on her body is also very good. She also embroidered flowers of the same color after learning from Shan Yucheng, but the white wears on Shan Yucheng's body, which has a bit of dusty air, and it complements Shan Yucheng's body when she wears it. It made her already affluent body even more rounded.
The proprietress looked good, with thin willow-leaf eyebrows, pink lips, and I don't know if her cheeks were powdered or just like that, flushed.
"Brother Bai, they called you, why don't you answer." The proprietress winked at Bai Moru rather aggrieved.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Bai Moru asked softly.
"Of course I have something to do with you, otherwise why would they be calling here for so long?" The landlady's voice became sweeter, and when she spoke, she raised her hand and patted Bai Moru's chest lightly.
"Sorry, the shop is temporarily closed for a few days and will not be open to the public. If you want to have some snacks, please wait another two or three days." Bai Moru took a step back imperceptibly, opening the distance between the two.
He knew that the proprietress was not bad, but he couldn't bear the overly intimate behavior of the proprietress, especially the trembling way of speaking.
"No, I'm not looking for you to eat." The proprietress waved her hand, "I'm looking for you today because I want to invite you to go on a cruise."
"Pleasure boat?" Bai Moru wanted to refuse without thinking.
Over there, the proprietress said before him: "Don't you know? Several towns upstream of us have organized flower boats, and they will come to our town tonight. This is a rare scene in a few years. If you want to see it today, you will have to wait a few years.”
"What ship?" For a moment, Bai Moru thought he heard it wrong.
"Flower boat!" the proprietress repeated.
"You asked me to take a flower boat tour..." Bai Moru sized up the proprietress, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
She is a woman, asking him to go on a flower boat tour?
003.
If he remembered correctly, the flower boats should exist in the same way as Huajie and Liuxiang, and they were in the business of flesh and blood.
Bai Moru sized up the person in front of him, and after a while his eyes suddenly widened as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly took two steps back in some horror to widen the distance between the two of them.
"Oh, little brother Bai, where are you going!" The proprietress was even more expert than him, seeing that Bai Moru guessed what Bai Moru was thinking like this, she was immediately ashamed.
Bai Moru looked at the person in front of him warily, he really didn't understand what this person was thinking.
"The flower boat is very beautiful. Not only are there girls, but there are also many teams of playing and dancing, which is very lively." The proprietress smiled, "Every time there is such a thing, many people in the town will go to see it. Let me make an appointment with you first, so that I can get a good seat first."
Bai Moru was really moved by her words, he had never seen such a thing.
Besides, from what the proprietress said, it seemed that the flower boat was not as unsightly as he thought, and it was probably quite entertaining in this small town where there was hardly any excitement to see.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of anything you are afraid of!" Seeing that Bai Moru was still hesitating, the proprietress wanted to go out the door after pulling him away.
Seeing this, Bai Moru hastily tugged on the door frame to avoid being dragged out of the door by him.
Although he didn't dislike the proprietress, he was really on guard, because she seemed to be eager to pounce on her at any time.
"Wait, I have to talk to my family if I want to go out, and I need to take a thicker cloak." Bai Moru's left hand was swollen with veins, and he grabbed the door frame with all his strength, and his right hand was pulled out by the proprietress.
Hearing what Bai Moru said, the proprietress stopped, and after thinking for a while, she urged: "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you here, I even rented the boat."
Bai Moru nodded, then entered the door, and told Liu Ru about going out at night.
When Liu Ru heard that he was going to see the flower boat, there was no strange expression on his face, which further confirmed Bai Moru's guess.She just told him to take the cloak, and told him to go home early so as not to catch a cold. At the end, she also put some snacks for Bai Moru to keep Bai Moru from starving.
After talking with Liu Ru, Bai Moru went back to the small courtyard to get the cloak, and when he returned to the door of the store, there were already a bunch of people standing in front of the store.
Shan Yucheng was staring at the proprietress warily, with haze flashing in his eyes from time to time.
The well-built proprietress stared at the group of people around her, with the words 'not welcome' written on her face, and beside her was a man with gray hair who was older than her, and he was staring at the proprietress.
The old Xu and his group who got the news from who knows where are also there. Recently, for some reason, they have gathered eight more people, and they are all very excited at the moment.
From a distance, Shan Yucheng was the first to see Bai Moru walking towards them.
He walked forward quickly, took the snacks in Bai Moru's hands and the cloak in his hands, "I'll carry them for you."
Seeing that Bai Moru was holding a snack in his hand, and everyone besides Wang Du had smiles on their faces, that old Xu even raised the tea pot in his hand, "I brought tea."
After finishing speaking, Old Xu looked back at the proprietress who was obviously unhappy because the appearance of these people disrupted her date plan, and asked with a smile, "Is there a stove and teapot on board?"
The proprietress looked at Old Xu, she snorted angrily, then turned around and ignored Old Xu.
Seeing that she was angry, another man who had never seen her before was the owner of the cloth shop, so he hurried forward to persuade her, "Don't be angry, if you like it, I will accompany you to swim along the river with a flower boat." How is the month?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress' expression softened a bit.
Seeing that no one answered, Lao Xu hurried into the shop and took his precious tea set, as if he was going to take it to the boat to make tea.
Bai Moru stopped on the opposite side of the street. He took advantage of the cool autumn wind to look at the group of people who were talking to themselves. The sorrow in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a warm smile.
Looking back at Shan Yucheng who was carefully putting away the cloak he brought beside him, the warmth dissipated, and the dark eyes were a little more satisfied.
Bringing two or three friends, warming a pot of tea, taking half a plate of snacks, and someone willing to accompany him, these days don't always seem to be miserable, at least not now.
He is no longer the one who was controlled by the Bai family. Although he is still busy all day long to make a living, the busyness and hard work now are all worth it.
"What's the matter?" Shan Yucheng noticed the eyes of the people around him, and he tilted his head slightly and looked back suspiciously.
"It's okay, let's go, if you drag it on, you won't be able to see anything." Bai Moru said, he deliberately increased his voice so that the group of people on the opposite side could hear it.
After his voice fell, the crowd started to move forward, and walked towards the front in a noisy way.
Soon, a group of people came to the pier. Because of the flower boat coming later, the pier in the evening was crowded with people and very lively.
At the top of the originally simple and monotonous canal, there are many more boats at the moment, including passenger boats on weekdays, cargo ships, and many large and small boats that have never been seen before.On the bank of the river, at first glance, the crowds were crowded and disorganized. They were all small vendors selling snacks, food or gadgets. Bai Moru even saw fortune-telling banners hanging among them.
Many people who hadn't boarded the boat pointed at the river by the railings by the river, as if they were looking forward to the arrival of the flower boat team.
The proprietress, who had vomited all the way, was generous when she arrived at the place. She pushed away the crowd and led them to a boat by the pier, and took them aboard.
The boat is not big, it looks like a fishing boat, the oars are retracted, and only a fishing pole is inserted obliquely on the side of the boat.Red lanterns are hung on the canopy to illuminate the layout of the boat.Under the canopy was a square table with a stove beside it.
When everyone got on the boat, Wang Du on the side became interested, grabbed the fishing pole, untied the rope, and prepared to swim to the middle of the river with the boat.
Apparently, Wang Du didn't do this kind of thing very often. After he untied the rope and supported the pier with the fishing pole, he used too much force when he was about to let the boat leave the shore. He almost carried the fishing pole into the river.
Fortunately, the two people next to him quickly grabbed him with sharp eyes and hands, which prevented everyone from going into the water to catch him.
Seeing this, Old Wu in the crowd stepped forward and snatched the fishing pole from Wang Du's hand. He shook it skillfully, and quickly propped the boat away from the river.
The sky was getting dark gradually, and there was a lot of noise coming and going at the pier. Old Wu supported the boat to let the boat leave the pier and arrived at a relatively quiet place, then let the boat stop temporarily in the river.
They didn't go to the middle of the river, where the flower boats would pass by, and they would only block the way if they went there.
After the boat stopped, everyone found a place to sit on the boat, or tossed and boiled water to make tea, or looked with interest at the crowds gathered under the scattered lights on the shore.
When Lao Xu finished making a pot of tea, there was a faint light coming from the upstream side, and a moment later, there was laughter and singing.
Seeing this scene, the crowd became lively. At this time, no one knew who touched the firecrackers and set off the fireworks. The unsuspecting people on the shore were so scared that they cursed at others.
Shan Yucheng chose the seat next to Bai Moru and sat down. After getting on the boat, he handed back the cloak to Bai Moru for him to put on. Now that he got on the boat and sat down, he used the cloak to hide He quietly held Bai Moru's hand from below.
Feeling the temperature from the palm, the corners of Shan Yucheng's mouth were not flattened.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood that even when Wang Du, Li Jiu and others were making noise, he interrupted a few more words.
"...This flower boat is too stingy, not as good as the one I saw last time in the south." Old Wu obviously had high expectations for this flower boat, "There are only about twenty boats, right? The most I’ve ever seen was nearly a hundred ships.”
"Hundreds of boats, that's a big gathering, you can't think of such a small place." Li Jiu said.
The two talked on their lips, but their eyes kept staring at the flower boat from far to near.
As the sky darkened, after the procession of flower boats with many red lanterns approached, the smell of wine, rouge, water and wine came along with the sound of singing, dancing and laughter. The girls standing on the boat looked out from the deck or the window. Come out, waving and frolicking at the people on the shore.
Seeing this, the people on the bank laughed more boldly and exaggeratedly.
After the boat docked on the shore, the girls began to disembark and walk around, but they didn't stay away, they just laughed and played on the shore.
After a while, I don't know who took the lead, and some people started to get on the flower boat, drinking, listening to music and having fun.
In the night, on the boat, the people drinking tea and eating snacks were also lively, and Wang Du was even more excited, shouting that he wanted to have some fun.But his pleasure is not to find the beautiful girls on the flower boat, but to find the people on the boat.
He made everyone join in the boxing game, replacing wine with tea, and they would be punished if they lost.
The game was harmless, it was just for fun, so everyone naturally had no reason to refuse, even Bai Moru was a little more playful and wanted to see who would suffer first.However, when the loser in the first round was himself, Bai Moru couldn't help laughing.
Under the dim light, Bai Moru's black and white eyes were dull and dull, but the people in front of him were in high spirits.
"Sing! Sing!" Wang Du yelled, Li Jiu also booed, and the proprietress beside her covered her mouth and giggled, waiting for Bai Moru to speak.
"If you want to bet, you have to admit defeat..." Old Xu handed him the teacup, gloating in his eyes.
Bai Moru turned his attention to Shan Yucheng, but the latter took the teacup and turned his back to study, his shoulders trembling.
Seeing that he really couldn't escape this catastrophe, Bai Moru frowned slightly and thought for a moment before he opened his mouth. His deep and gentle voice sounded on the boat, "...I am a little duck, Eeeeeeeeeeeee?"
"puff……"
"Cough cough..."
