Chapter 69: The Girl's Mind
...
The Tunyun River is the largest river in Wu Kingdom, almost spanning the entire Wu Kingdom. The vast river water flows through Du'an County day and night, and never ends.
pier
The noise was loud and crowded, and the boats came and went, including passenger ships, cargo ships, fishing boats... and large and small, the surroundings of the docks were piled up.
There are many pedestrians on the shore, including hardworking workers, hawkers, tourists from afar, and all kinds of vendors.
Crazy... Crazy...
The waves splashed, and a large ship came from a distance, with the flag of the Qinghe Escort Agency standing on it, with colorful flags waving, majestic and extraordinary.
"I'm ready to dock, cheer me up!" An old escort stood at the bow of the boat and shouted. The escort masters and escort disciples were all excited, like wanderers returning from afar, looking at the dock in the distance with excitement.
Miao Fengxun and everyone stood at the bow of the boat, and Xu Changming was also standing beside him in a green robe. The gusts of river breeze always came, and the bloating clothes were rustling.
"Brother Mo, we have arrived in Du'an County City. I wonder what Brother Mo has next?"
Miao Xiaohe stood beside Xu Changming, looking up at Xu Changming's clean and white handsome appearance. His clear eyes were reluctant to leave and there was a hint of expectation.
"I finally asked." I felt a little happy.
On the surface, he said with a little depressed expression: "I have been wandering outside for many years. Not long ago, because I fought with several bullies who bullied the people. Although I killed them, I was also seriously injured and fell into the water by them. If it weren't for Xiaohe, you saved me, I would have been soaked in the water and rotten."
"I am a newcomer here and am not familiar with the surrounding environment. I am short of money. I plan to find out what work I have in the city first, and then think about the subsequent arrangements when I settle down!"
When he was short of money, Xu Changming did not hide it and said it casually, as if he didn't think that this would be looked down upon by others, completely ignoring the opinions of the people from the Qinghe Escort Agency around him.
Seeing his calm and indifferent appearance, Miao Fengxun, who was beside him, felt relieved.
The more Xu Changming was so calm and the less he cared about the opinions of their group of people, the more he proved that he had no desire for the Qinghe Escort Agency.
His open and honest look made people around him feel a lot more favorable to him. He is indeed a handsome and unruly young man!
In fact, what Xu Changming said was the truth. He was indeed short of money. Most of the silver he had obtained from trading with Gao Yuliang was exchanged for food by him. When he hurriedly escaped from his home, he only brought out a few hundred taels of silver, and then he got another two hundred taels of silver from the water thieves. Now, the total amount of silver was only 500 taels of silver on his body.
The money added up is not enough to buy a house in Qingshi Town, not to mention Du'an County City, one of the seven most prosperous places in Jinnan Province. The house prices here are definitely sky-high in this era. He can't afford to buy a 500-liang house, so he can only stay in an inn!
When Miao Xiaohe heard that Xu Changming had no place to settle down, the excitement in her heart was almost about to jump out of her chest. Without thinking too much, she blurted out directly.
"Brother Mo, since you have no place to stay in the city, why don't you go back to the escort agency with us. There are many empty rooms in the escort agency. You are the benefactor of our Qinghe escort agency. How can we let our benefactor stay in the inn? If we let our colleagues in the world know about this, we must not say that our Qinghe escort agency is ungrateful?!"
"Dad, are you saying I'm right?" Miao Xiaohe said as she suddenly turned her head and looked at Miao Fengxun. A hint of cunning flashed in her bright eyes, as clear as a pool of spring water.
Don't look down on her just because she is a sixteen-year-old girl. Miao Xiaohe lost her mother since childhood and has followed her father around the world since she was a child, experiencing all the hardships and sorrows of the world. Under her well-behaved and weak appearance, she has a clear and delicate heart. She knows that her father might not agree if it was a normal request, but now Xu Changming is the benefactor of Qinghe Escort Agency. If the news of his benefactor running to the inn will spread, then the reputation of Qinghe Escort Agency will be broken.
In this era, although the order has collapsed significantly, there is always a rule in the world, and a good reputation is a certificate for those who are in the world.
Modern society reduces the cost of screening out excellent talents through education, while in ancient times, good reputation was used to reduce the cost of distinguishing good and bad people.
Both have one thing in common, and are indispensable in society/way.
If the Qinghe Escort Agency's reputation is bad, then the Qinghe Escort Agency's future business will be difficult!
After being reminded by Miao Xiaohe, Miao Fengxun suddenly woke up and said he was lucky: "Fortunately, He'er asked this, otherwise if someone knew that I had put Mo Bing out to stay in the inn, my reputation on the road would be ruined overnight and I would become an ungrateful villain. At that time, it would be dangerous when I was on the verge!"
He hurriedly advised, "Nephew Mo Xian, there is no need to go out. You are the benefactor of my Qinghe Escort Agency and come to Du'an County as a guest. How can I let you stay in the inn?! If this is spread, my old face, Miao Fengxun, will be left without a place."
"Uncle Miao..." Xu Changming wanted to pretend to shirk it, but was interrupted by Miao Xiaohe.
"Okay, Brother Mo, don't shirk it. I know that you are such a kind person, definitely won't make it difficult for my father to do it. It just so happens that the first time you are here, I'll take you to visit Du'an County City."
Just then, the city had already reached the dock, and Miao Xiaohe was as happy as a little rabbit, jumping down the boat.
Looking at the delicate and graceful girl's back, Xu Changming felt mixed feelings and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"It's the hardest to be able to get the kindness of a beauty!"
"Since that's the case, then uncle will bother you next." Xu Changming said seriously.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Miao Fengxun smiled heartily.
"Yes, Young Master Mo, don't be polite. You are our benefactor. You have helped our escort agency so much, and these are all the right things to do."
"Yes, yes, Just treat Young Master Mo as your own family, don't be restrained."
Several veteran stints around him welcomed Xu Changming's arrival and seemed extremely enthusiastic.
A young man who has a ninth level of fetal breathing at a young age will definitely be a master in the innate realm in the future. Their compliments can be said to be reasonable, because no era can be separated from the strong as respect, and the worship of the strong is engraved in the bones of mankind.
Moreover, they could see that Miao Xiaohe had already put his whole heart on Xu Changming. They wanted Xu Changming to stay in the escort agency. If the two young people fell in love over time, then such a young master would become the member of their Qinghe escort agency. At that time, the future of the escort agency would not be worrying!
After he expressed his politeness, Xu Changming hurriedly caught up with Miao Xiaohe's pace. He happened to be familiar with the environment around Du'an County City.
"Xiaohe, wait for me."
Xu Changming chased Miao Xiaohe, leaving behind a group of bodyguards looking at each other. Miao Fengxun shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. He felt a sensation in his heart. He felt that the little cotton jacket he had raised for many years might be abducted away, but he couldn't stop it, and he felt extremely unhappy.
Ma Feng's eyes were pure. After seeing the strength exposed by Xu Changming, his attitude towards Xu Changming was no longer bad, but became an appreciation and admiration for Xu Changming.
