"Really?" Liang Shaoqing squeezed forward, staring out: "Why can't I see it?"

"If you can see it, maybe even a three-year-old child can see it." Chu Qiao rolled her eyes impatiently, thought for a while, but frowned again, and said, "But it's also very strange, if The Zhan family doesn't have such a big influence, and those county officials don't have to come to welcome them, so why bother to send out their own masters and staff?"

"Maybe they are busy and have something to delay."

Chu Qiao automatically ignored Liang Shaoqing's words, and murmured: "They didn't dare not come, and they didn't dare to be too solemn and enthusiastic. This shows that the Zhan family should have a certain strength, but there is some reason. Let them not dare to do too much, which means... "

"Oh, I see." Chu Qiao sat up and said to Liang Shaoqing: "The Zhan family must have a powerful opponent in Tang Jing, these officials can't afford to offend both sides, so they can only do it vaguely. The Zhan family used to be a big family in Bian Tang, but they were squeezed out for unknown reasons and went to Daxia instead, but in name, they were still nobles in Bian Tang, which can explain why they were unknown in Daxia but They were treated courteously in Bian Tang. This time, they should not go to Beijing to congratulate them. They should return to the country with their whole family. That's why they brought so many servants with them, and even the husband's family of several sisters followed. Moreover, Although the Zhan family is prosperous on the surface, it is an empty shell in private, so they went to the slave market to buy slaves at low prices."

"Little Qiao, you are so energetic, why don't you go out for a walk and bask in the sun." Liang Shaoqing was standing on the ground, and was meticulously arranging the folds on the robe. It was just a servant's coat, but he was wearing it as if it was something expensive. like silk.

"You're babbling about researching other people's families here, and those who don't know think you have some intentions."

"What's my plan? I just want to knock open your head to see if it's filled with grass or water!"

Chu Qiao frowned and stood up, the wound still hurt a little during the action, but compared with the previous few days, this was almost negligible.

"How are you? Will it hurt?"

Chu Qiao said impatiently; "Shall I give you a knife to try?"

"There's no need to try," Liang Shaoqing said with a chuckle, "It must hurt, I promise I won't be able to bear it."

There was a cool breeze outside the cabin, and it was very refreshing. As soon as Chu Qiao stepped out of the cabin door, she felt refreshed. At this time, the bell in the dining hall rang. She had been eating in the cabin for a few days, and this time she was able to leave. , simply followed Liang Shaoqing to the dining hall to eat the slaves' big pot of rice.

The so-called dining room is on the rear deck, where the servants are lined up and taking turns cooking meals in an orderly manner. Chu Qiao sat down leaning against the side of the boat, watching Liang Shaoqing, a rich man with great adaptability, line up behind a group of slaves. The few people in front turned their heads and greeted him with a smile. Pull it up, and smile slightly.

It seems that it has been many years without such a leisurely life. She leaned back and raised her head, only to see a few white waterfowls circling in the sky, chirping with a very pleasant voice.

At this moment, there was a sudden coldness on the top of her head, Chu Qiao was startled, she stood up suddenly, and saw a few big men in coarse clothes standing in front of her, one of them was holding a bowl, looking at her provocatively, just now It was he who poured water on his head.

"what are you doing?"

"What are you not doing?" The man said with a rascal face, "I want to sit here and eat, but I just want to borrow money from you."

"Little Qiao! What's the matter?" Chu Qiao was about to speak when Liang Shaoqing suddenly ran back, and came forward like a hen and asked, "What's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, before he ran to the front, a big man suddenly crossed his legs and fell in front of Liang Shaoqing. Liang Shaoqing was holding three bowls in both hands, with food and vegetables, and suddenly lost his balance. He fell to the ground!

"What are you doing?" Chu Qiao stepped forward, helped up the fallen scholar, suddenly raised her head and yelled sharply.

"This little brother has a big temper! Why, your brother can't walk himself, and you have to blame others?"

"That's right, look at the looks of the two brothers. They are greasy-faced, and they look like pretty faces."

Several people laughed together, and one of them laughed loudly: "Look at their bear-like, soft eggs that can be broken if you pinch them, and they say they are proficient in poetry, grandma, I really think I am the number one scholar."

Chu Qiao's eyes narrowed slowly, like a civet cat, shining faintly. Liang Shaoqing was busy arranging the soiled clothes. The originally angry man was startled when he saw Chu Qiao's expression, and quickly said, "Xiao Qiao, I'm fine, don't be angry."

"Little bastard! Learn more from your elder brother, go to any mountain to worship what god, don't think that if you live in the upper class, you are a classy person!"

After a few big men put down a word, they turned around cursing and left.

Chu Qiao helped Liang Shaoqing up, only to see that the man was covered in mess and stains, his hand was cut by the broken porcelain bowl, and blood dripped down. Liang Shaoqing bared her teeth in pain, but she was still afraid that Chu Qiao would get angry, so she gasped for breath and held back, not daring to say a word.

"That's Chen Shuang. He's the driving driver. He belongs to the eldest lady. Usually, even Uncle Qing dares to contradict him. You have offended him. Be careful in the future."

"There is another lady in this house?"

Liang Shaoqing nodded: "Well, I heard that she is very beautiful, but her personality is a little cold. I heard that she also has a twin sister, but she is dead."

Chu Qiao's lips were red and her teeth were white, and she smiled brightly, the servant was stunned when she saw it. Chu Qiao supported Liang Shaoqing to stand up, and said with a somber face, "Follow me back."

With a bitter face, Liang Shaoqing said cautiously, "Xiao Qiao, I haven't eaten yet."

Chu Qiao glared at him, and led him back to the cabin. Take out the wound medicine left by the doctor a few days ago, sit on the bed and wash and apply the medicine for him carefully.

Liang Shaoqing had nothing to say and asked, "Xiao Qiao, are you hungry?"

Chu Qiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You are also Liang Yutang's son, and also the son of Shangyu Liang's family. How can you be so generous and eat anything?"

"What should I do if I don't eat it?" Liang Shaoqing said with a sad face, "I also know that the food is unpalatable, but if I don't eat it, I will be hungry."

With a "bang", Chu Qiao threw away the white silk in her hand, stood up abruptly and walked out.

Liang Shaoqing was startled, thinking that she was going out to settle accounts with those people, so she stopped in front of her and said, "Little Qiao, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. You really can't afford to get angry with them for such a trivial matter. We can't stay here anyway." How long, once I get to Tangjing, I will visit my father's friend, and we can... "

"I'll go out and get you food." Chu Qiao said helplessly, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Ah?" Liang Shaoqing widened her eyes stupidly, and after a long time, she nodded and said, "Oh, so, then, then you go."

After a while, the sky was completely dark. Chu Qiao walked out of the cabin door and came to the deck, but saw that everything had been packed, and there was no leftovers. She was a little worried when the man who had talked to them before came forward again, handed over two large bowls, smiled honestly, and said, "I know you haven't eaten, I've kept them specially for you."

The two bowls were piled with white rice, some vegetables and small salted fish. Chu Qiao felt warm and said sincerely, "Thank you, big brother."

"No, everyone will work together in the future, so we should take care of each other. I don't think your brothers are like slaves. Why, is your family in trouble?"

Chu Qiao nodded: "Nothing can escape the eyes of big brother."

"Don't worry," the man patted his chest, "I can't help you with anything else. If you're hungry, just come to me. I'm on duty in the kitchen."

"So, thank you, brother."

After parting from the man, Chu Qiao hurried back. Just as she reached the corner of the deck, the sound of a wheel rolling across the deck was heard suddenly. Walk forward slowly.

"What were you singing just now?"

A mellow and elegant voice suddenly sounded, Chu Qiao looked and saw a man sitting on a wooden wheelchair, looking at her quietly.

Chu Qiao was taken aback, and asked, "Who are you?"

The man seemed to find it a little funny, and raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Who are you?"

As soon as he moved his hand, the wooden wheels of the wheelchair rolled across the deck and slowly moved forward.

"I'm a servant who just arrived, my name is Xiao Qiao."

"Little Qiao?" The man whispered silently for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "It's easy to remember."

His smile is very soothing, like the warm wind on the lake in spring in March.

"I'm Zhan Ziyu."

Chu Qiao couldn't help being taken aback, she didn't expect the owner of this house to be a cripple, she hurriedly took a step back and saluted, "So it's the young master, I'm sorry."

Zhan Ziyu nodded lightly, then turned his head and looked at the river quietly.

Chu Qiao stood there, a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay, when he was hesitating, Zhan Ziyu suddenly said: "This song is very nice, what's its name?"

Only then did Chu Qiao remember that she seemed to be humming the tune subconsciously just now, she couldn't help but blushed a little, and said, "The random singing is a tune from my hometown."

"Hometown?" Zhan Ziyu asked softly, "Where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is far away, and I may never go back in my life."

"oh."

Zhan Ziyu smiled, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Young master, the wind is strong on the river, shall I push you back?"

Zhan Ziyu raised his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It took me a lot of effort to get out, and you pushed me back before I sat down for a while?"

The footlights with soft light at the stern shone on Zhan Ziyu's head. Only then did Chu Qiao realize that his black temples were slightly gray under the light. Stand aside quietly.

"Can you ride a horse?"

After a while, Zhan Ziyu suddenly turned his head and asked, Chu Qiao was puzzled by his question, nodded and said: "Yes, I ride well."

Zhan Ziyu smiled and said: "I also had a good horse in my early years, which was given to me by my wife."

Chu Qiao flattered casually: "That must be a fine horse."
