Chapter 104 Yunfei
A large ship docked at the pier, and the ship made a "bang" sound as its hull was lifted to the shore.
Mixed in with the cries of vendors on the shore, it doesn't feel out of place.
The cockpit had just been set up, and before the dock steward could pass by, a dozen men with knives and guns rushed out of the big ship and quickly surrounded the bow.
On both sides of the pier, stewards, baggage carriers, and food sellers stretched their necks to look around.
"Is that a horse standing on the bow of the boat?"
"It's true. This is the first time I've seen such a handsome horse!"
horse?
Lu Xiangge heard the sound and stood up on tiptoes to look at the boat. The Huai River area was located in a plain, with many cattle and mules, but few horses.
Sure enough, there are three horses standing on the bow of the big ship. Even from a distance, you can see that these three horses are not ordinary horses, because they are so handsome.
The horse is tall and muscular, and the hair on its body shines like silk in the sunlight.
It makes people feel that this horse is very expensive.
Ever since he bought Zhuangzi, Lu Quan had been thinking about buying a livestock, but he struggled for a long time between buying a cow or a mule.
It is definitely a good idea to buy an ox. The ox is strong and can plow the land and pull a vehicle.
But cattle are expensive, a calf costs three to four taels of silver, and a strong bull costs about ten taels of silver.
Farmers who farm are willing to spend more than ten taels of silver to buy an acre of land, but they are reluctant to spend about ten taels of silver to buy a cow.
And strong mules can also plow fields and pull carts, and they are cheap, only about three or four taels of silver.
In order to decide whether to buy cattle or mules, Lu Quan specially rowed his boat to the mule and horse farm in Nanyang County in the past two days to have a look.
When going to Nanyang, it is natural that the follower Lu Xiangge is indispensable.
It was also in the mule and horse shop in Nanyang County that Lu Xiangge learned that a horse with messy coat and skinny bones was sold for more than sixty taels of silver.
It is said that the most ordinary of those strong and powerful horses costs more than a hundred taels, let alone the handsome ones like this.
It is estimated that just this horse costs hundreds of taels, or even thousands of silver!
Be good, think about all the hard work you have put into braised sausages, made eel cages, and made suggestions for shopkeeper Li.
The money she earned until now might not be enough for a rich man to own a horse, so she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
This person's comparison with others is really infuriating!
Lu Xiangge craned his neck to look at the boat, and he didn't forget to ask Chen Pingan: "Brother Pingan, when did this boat come to the dock?"
Chen Ping'an was still thinking about the water business that Lu Xiaosi mentioned, and glanced at the dock perfunctorily: "Oh, those people's boat just arrived not long ago. They were supposed to queue up, and I don't know what the boatman and the dock steward said.
, the steward rushed the ship where the goods were supposed to be unloaded to wait nearby, saying that it would be their turn after these people got off the ship."
Also because these two ships jumped in line, Chen Ping'an didn't make much money that morning.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to chat with Lu Xiaosi here.
"It looks like you have a lot of background!"
Lu Sheige was short, so he could only push Chen Ping'an forward.
She wanted to see who these people were.
Everyone was deeply afraid of being affected by the fighting of the rebels, and they were trying to leave the Huai River area. To be able to come to Jiangjiaba at this time, and bring such beautiful horses with them, something must have happened.
Could it be that the imperial court took Jiangjiaba seriously and sent officers and soldiers to garrison it?
This is not good news.
Lu Xiangge relied on his small body and agility to pull Chen Ping'an and quickly ran to the front of the crowd.
It is not an easy task to drive the horses from the ship to the shore. The gangplank for two people is built side by side between the ship and the dock, which does not make the horses on the ship feel much safe. The leading bay horse stands in front of the gangplank and raises its head and neighs.
It was as if I was telling everyone that I didn't want to get off the boat, not at all.
I saw a young man about the same age as Chen Ping'an wearing a black outfit. He took off a long black whip from his waist and shook it casually. There was only a "pop" sound, and the whip exploded in the air with a thunderous sound.
The people watching on the shore were so shocked that they couldn't help but take two steps back.
The maroon horse, which was still unruly, immediately stopped neighing, and obediently stepped onto the gangplank under the guidance of the horse's reins, and disembarked from the ship.
The bay horse took the lead, and the two horses behind were also led by the two teenagers, and they got off the ship smoothly.
The three young men disembarked, and the dozen or so people originally guarding both sides of the ship immediately formed two teams, holding up their swords to block the approach of the people waiting on the pier.
"Xiaosi, let's go find Uncle Lu."
Chen Ping'an pulled Lu Xiangge behind him uneasily. He had been working at the dock for some time, and this was the first time he saw such a flamboyant person. He was a little afraid that these people had no eyesight, and if they accidentally hurt Lu Xiaosi's
He has sinned too much.
Lu Sheige did not step back, but moved closer: "It's okay, let's take a look."
Although these dozen men with swords looked fierce, in Lu Shenge's eyes, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had known them before.
Or, where have I seen it.
Seeing that Lu Xiaosi was not afraid at all, but instead wanted to squeeze closer, Chen Pingan's heart was lifted.
He didn't care whether Lu Xiaosi would be angry or not, he grabbed her arm and dragged her back: "Xiaosi, be careful not to scare the noble lady."
Maybe everyone around him was moving back, but Lu Shengge was still stretching his neck to look forward, or maybe Chen Ping'an and Lu Shengge were pulling too hard.
The young man in black attire happened to look over at him. He was twenty or thirty steps away and several heads away. His eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe his own eyes. He raised his hand and rubbed it vigorously.
.
Immediately, he dropped the reins in his hands, pushed aside the crowd, and ran in the direction of Lu Shengge: "Shengge'er?"
Song?
No one had called this name for a long time. Lu Sheige was in a daze for a moment, thinking he heard it wrong.
She turned around suddenly and saw a young man in black attire squeezing towards her, still shouting: "Sing Ge, Lu Sing Ge, I am your brother Yunfei!"
Lu Sheige, who had been pulled into the crowd by Chen Pingan, felt her heart suddenly tremble, and some fragmentary memory fragments floated out of her mind.
"Xie Ge, this is your Uncle Song, this is Second Uncle Song, this is Uncle Tang... This is your brother Yunfei from Second Uncle Song's family. Back then, your brother Yunfei was named after his father."
"Uncle Song, Second Uncle Song, Uncle Tang Jiu...Brother Yunfei..."
Brother Yunfei?
Song Yunfei?
Bandits from Qingfeng Village?
Lu Sheige finally remembered who the young man named Sheige was, Song Yunfei, the nephew of the first head of the Song Dynasty in Qingfeng Village and the biological son of the second head of the Song Dynasty!
This is the real second generation bandit. Her father may have been killed by the court because of the number of people, Song Yunfei's uncle and father.
Lu Xiangge didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly lowered his body and pulled Chen Ping'an away.
My dear mother, why did this bandit come to Jiangjiaba!
