Chapter 185 Ready to go and waist
At this time, Zhu Youjian had already entered the cabin. Jinxiu, who was at the end, heard the dispute behind him and looked back. Seeing that it was Du Chenchen and Du Dongshan talking to the boatman, she guessed why the two were calculating. Jinxiu quickly turned around and came to Du Dongshan and Du Chenchen, took out a piece of scattered silver from her sleeve and handed it to the boatman, saying, "Is these enough?"
Jinxiu didn’t know how much the ship was for a person, and it didn’t think it was too high. These ordinary people were all riding on the boat, and if it was high, no one would take the boat.
The boatman took the silver and let Du Dongshan and Du Chenchen go in. When he was about to find some money to find Jinxiu, he saw that the three of them had already walked away.
It takes only two hours to get from Xuzhou to Huai'an, so there is no bedroom on the boat. The cabin on the first floor is very crowded, and some people don't even have seats, and the shipment is relatively cheaper. The above two floors are more comfortable as they go up, and the corresponding shipment will be much higher.
Jinxiu led Du Dongshan and the others to the third floor. When Zhu Youjian and others saw that Jinxiu had actually led Du Dongshan and his sister in, they couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Brother Du, aren't you two going back? Why did they come on the boat together?"
Du Dongshan did not answer, but looked at Du Chenchen. Du Chenchen said, "My father said we should watch Brother Zhu and you leave before we can rest assured. We dare not disobey Dad's intentions."
Zhu Youjian didn't care much, and said, "Old Mr. Du is intent. Brother Du, Chenchen, you can sit together and rest for a while."
After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Du Chenchen happily pulled Jinxiu and jumped to find a seat closer to Zhu Youjian.
It’s not too long to say that one hour is not too short, but it’s a bit boring to just sit like this. Du Chenchen finally bought another hour, so how could he be willing to sit like this? She said to Zhu Youjian: “Brother Zhu, the Yue Opera you sang in Weishan Lake last time was very nice. Can you sing a few more sentences?”
Zhu Youjian said a little embarrassedly: "There are many people on this boat, so let's forget it. I will sing it alone for you next time I have the chance."
When he heard that Zhu Youjian was going to sing for her alone, Du Chenchen stopped bothering about Yue Opera and said, "I heard from Sister Jinxiu that Brother Zhu is very good at telling stories, so can I tell a story?"
When the other people heard Du Chenchen's repeated requests, they couldn't help but feel funny. With Zhu Youjian's identity, a little girl has now been caught by him.
Zhu Youjian said in embarrassment: "It's okay to tell stories." As she said that, she glanced at Jinxiu, and then said: "I have heard of all the stories Xiu'er, let her tell you. Xiu'er's voice sounds nice, and she must be better than me when talking about stories." Zhu Youjian's meaning is very obvious. Let's tell the evil he has done.
Jinxiu said dissatisfiedly: "Sister wants to hear the story of the young master. Why did you do with me? I was in a hurry to sleep well last night. Jinxiu was very distressed at this time, so it would be better for the young master to tell her to listen to her."
Zhu Youjian said helplessly: "Actually, this story is really meaningless. I read it from books. I think many Chenchen have read it, so I'd better not talk about it anymore. However, I feel bored when I sit so hard, so I have to find something to relieve my boredom."
After saying that, Zhu Youjian shouted to the back: "Erbao, Erbao, perform a few tricks to relieve everyone's boredom."
Hu Erbao, who was talking to Ji Gang behind, heard Zhu Youjian calling and said with a bitter face: "Young Master, Miss Du asked you to tell stories and sing songs, so you pushed it onto the villain. Is this really good? The villain is still hurt now and needs someone to carry it on his way. How can he perform tricks for everyone?"
Zhu Youjian said: "You have a leg injury and your hands are not injured. Just sit and perform some hand skills. Everyone just watch the fun. When I saw you and your apprentice teaching, it was very easy. Why didn't you see you say you were still injured? I asked you to pass the time and you would be pushed and blocked. Could it be that I would ask Lao Luo to help you personally when changing the dressing next time I changed the dressing?"
Hu Erbao smiled and said, "How dare you bother Mr. Luo? The little man's legs are not wooden sticks and cannot withstand Mr. Luo's tossing. Why don't I let my disciple try it first. Anyway, it's just a relief. The little man also sees the quality of his teachings these days."
When Luo Yangxing heard Hu Erbao's words, his hands loosened his bones, pinching them, and then he held his fist and said to Hu Erbao: "What? Is this guy very heavy? You can change the medicine, only you, you are still disgusted. I haven't complained about you crying and howling, if you didn't kick your legs when changing the medicine, would you have missed me?"
Hu Erbao had to beg for mercy and said, "You should be kind. Last time you always found it interesting. You tried it and it was no longer fun. You should rest. You should change the medicine and tiring work is not what you should do in this identity." After saying that, Hu Erbao did not wait for Luo Yangxing to take over and quickly ordered Ji Gang, "Why don't you prepare quickly."
Ji Gang didn't need to prepare any of this. Recently, he has been learning craftsmanship with Hu Erbao almost in a row, and has some essential props on him. Ji Gang was not nervous. He walked to the middle of the cabin and bowed to the surroundings. Then he saw that there was a little rabbit the size of a palm in his hand.
At this time, Zhu Youjian was not the only one in the cabin on the third floor. The other passengers on the boat had gathered here to see the bustle.
When they saw Ji Gang's elusive move, the spectators immediately applauded happily, and even Du Chenchen forgot to pester Zhu Youjian's storytelling.
Luo Yangxing and Zhang Zhiji were used to teasing Ji Gang. Although Ji Gang's skillful tricks were beautiful, those people did not buy it at all. Zhang Zhiji shrewd with his head, "Tsk, I'm tired of this trick, change some new tricks."
Ji Gang didn't care about the boos from several people at all, at least many people applauded. He held the little rabbit in his hand and came to Du Chenchen and said, "Thank you for your hospitality these days. This little rabbit is regarded as a thank you gift from Ji Gang to the girl."
Du Chenchen reached out to take the little rabbit from Ji Gang's hand and said, "What a cute little guy, thank you." As he said that, Du Chenchen hugged the little rabbit in his arms.
Hu Erbao was very shocked when he heard it aside. Hu Erbao could have seen the ambiguous relationship between Du Chenchen and Zhu Youjian, and that only this stupid apprentice dared to go up. He frowned and quickly scolded Ji Gang and said, "Don't be arrogant, why don't you go back quickly."
Du Chenchen didn't think so much before, and even Zhu Youjian didn't think much about it, but Hu Erbao's scolding clearly made people hear something unusual. Even Du Dongshan, who was not very smart, could see that it was strange. He hurriedly said to Du Chenchen: "Chenchen, this rabbit looks delicious. Should we go back braised or salted? "
Du Chenchen looked at Du Dongshan and said shamelessly, "Beast." Then she looked at Zhu Youjian shyly and said, "I am given my bento by Brother Zhu, so I will definitely raise it to fat."
Zhu Youjian held his forehead and wondered, it was obviously given by Ji Gang, but why did it be touched to him again?
Ji Gang did not return to the position of his previous performance as Hu Erbao said. He turned around and smiled slightly at Hu Erbao and said, "Master, don't worry, go back later."
After saying that, Ji Gang looked back at Du Dongshan and said, "Brother Du, can you borrow a copper coin?"
Du Dongshan was very embarrassed when he heard this. He touched the back of his head and said, "I went out in a hurry today and forgot to bring the money."
Ji Gang thought that a copper coin could not be easily taken out, but he did not expect that this would be the case. He turned to Du Chenchen and said, "Miss Du..."
Before Ji Gang could finish speaking, Du Chenchen quickly interrupted and said, "I left in a hurry, too..." Although he hadn't finished speaking, the meaning was self-evident.
Du Chenchen looked at Ji Gang's embarrassing look and couldn't help feeling a little sympathy. He thought Ji Gang had encountered something difficult, so she quickly took a silver bracelet from her hand and handed it to Ji Gang and said, "This table is worth a few taels of silver. If you need money in urgent need, use it."
When Ji Gang heard Du Chenchen's words, he realized that she had misunderstood, so he quickly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Du, I borrowed a copper coin just to perform a trick, and I didn't encounter any difficulties."
Du Chenchen suddenly turned red and quickly put away the bracelet.
Ji Gang turned to Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian saw that he looked and said, "The master of the copper coins is not there, is it okay to have silver ingots?"
"Young master is really rich and powerful, so you don't need this."
Jinxiu said: "Don't look at me, at the lowest point is broken silver, and I don't have copper coins."
Ji Gang looked at Luo Yangxing, Zhang Zhiji and others one by one. At first glance, these people were people who didn’t have copper plates on them. He shouted around: “Next, I will perform a copper coin collection for everyone. Just one copper coin can be transformed into ten, ten and ten will be born a hundred. Who would like to borrow a copper coin?”
At this time, a passenger on the boat said, "Since copper coins can gather treasures, how many can I borrow one to pay back?"
"This...", the so-called gathering of copper coins is certainly not about making something out of nothing, otherwise Ji Gang would be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
Hu Erbao felt sorry for his apprentice. Seeing that Ji Gang performed a trick but no one cooperated, he took out a copper coin and threw it at Ji Gang, saying, "Take it and use it, don't need to return it."
Ji Gang reached out and said, "Thank you, Master."
But it doesn't matter if you reach out, because you're a little quick to take action, and with a thud, a lot of copper coins were thrown out of your sleeve.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiji laughed and said, "Are you starting to make money now?"
Jinxiu also covered her mouth and smiled, "No wonder she doesn't want the silver ingot. It turns out that she has prepared copper coins. If she uses the silver ingot to change it, it will be difficult for Ji Gang to do it."
When Hu Erbao saw the trick, he immediately scolded Ji Gang: "You should pack up the useless things quickly, so don't embarrass me there."
After saying that, Hu Erbao said to Hu Bao and Gao Han: "Brother, I have to bother you to carry me over."
Hu Bao, Gao Han nodded and carried Hu Erbao to the place where Ji Gang performed before. Hu Erbao said, "I am so ugly to show off. Next, I will perform a few tricks for you."
Jiang is still old, and Hu Erbao has a series of dazzling performances, which makes everyone on the boat dizzy, and even Luo Yangxing and others who often watch his performances have to admire him.
During Hu Erbao's performance, time passed quickly. Before he knew it, he heard someone outside the cabin shouting "Unlock the cable and start the anchor".
Du Dongshan, who was addicted to Hu Erbao's tricks, heard this and hurriedly took Du Chenchen's hand and ran out. While running, he said annoyedly: "Oh, I've just watched the tricks, and I forgot to get off the boat, so I almost followed him to Huai'an."
Du Chenchen pressed Du Dongshan with his other hand and pulled his arm to stop him and said, "Brother, why are you anxious? Haven't you started the boat yet?"
After Du Dongshan stopped, Du Chenchen muttered in a low voice, "At most, what's wrong with walking with them?"
Du Dongshan turned around and said, "What did Chenchen say?"
"I said that it is not so fast to unzip the cable and start the anchor. No matter how long it takes to take a stick of incense to actually set off, we didn't say apart to Brother Zhu and the others, so much rude."
Du Dongshan thought about it, so he said to Zhu Youjian: "I heard that I was going to drive the boat, so I was anxious and reckless. Xiaowu, don't blame us, let's go back now."
Zhu Youjian stood up and said, "Brother Du, there will be a date later."
Du Dongshan clasped his fists and then pulled Du Chenchen again and turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't pull it. He only heard Du Chenchen say to Zhu Youjian: "Brother Zhu said he would come to Xuzhou Prefecture in the future, but should he take it seriously?"
Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Take it seriously."
Du Chenchen reached out and took off the rope with two braids on his head, and his hair immediately dropped. When he saw this, Du Chenchen no longer looked like the innocent little girl before. She reached out and put her hair into a stream, and said to Zhu Youjian: "Then I will wait for Brother Zhu here. No matter when you come again, it will take ten, twenty, or fifty years. As long as you come, you will definitely be able to see Chenchen."
