As for that little liar, her life was colorful, vivid, and dazzling. He also wanted such brilliance.
The next day, Mu Yan woke up earlier than usual. As usual, he went to the school to practice kung fu for an hour. When he came back, he took a bath and drank the body-building ginseng chicken soup sent by someone from the Cheng family.
His lips were numb from drinking, but it was hard to refuse. If he drank more than two sips, his mother would burst into tears.
He was afraid.
Li Yikaner dressed him up, took his book bag, and sent him to the Imperial College.
"Master, it's still early at this time." Kan Er looked at the sky. Doesn't the master usually enter the Imperial College at the right time?
Mu Yan put his hands behind his back and ignored it.
Kan Erli looked at each other, then got into the carriage and sat on the shaft.
"Go to Qionghua Lane." Mu Yan said calmly in the carriage.
Ah? Going to Qionghua Lane? Not going to the Imperial College? Kan Er was about to ask when Li Yi pulled him back.
The carriage turned around and headed towards Qionghua Lane in the outer city.
Before reaching Qionghua Lane, Mu Yan stopped.
"Master, do you want to get out of the car?" Kan Er asked him when he got to the back of the car.
He didn't hear a response, so he touched his nose and returned to the shaft of the car. He and Li looked at each other, what on earth did the young master want to do?
Mu Yan himself didn't know what to do.
I just sat in the carriage blankly and had no urge to get out of the car.
After a long while, he knocked on the wall of the car and said, "Let's go. Go to the Imperial College."
Huh? What are you doing? Come and take a detour?
Kan Er looked confused, Li Yi flicked the reins, and the carriage started moving again.
After a long while, Kan Er couldn't hold it back: "Master, are you here to see Madam Huo?" But the master did not get out of the car.
I thought the young master wouldn't answer, but I didn't expect a sentence came from the carriage: "The butter is gone, remember to come and buy it next time."
Ah? Have you finished eating Bald Butter? Didn’t you buy eight bottles last time?
I gave two bottles to the madam, sold two bottles to the Imperial College, and there should be four more bottles. Did the young master drink it as water?
Kan Er was about to ask a question when Li Yi glanced at him and shut his mouth. Okay, I'll buy Bald Butter next time. In fact, he wanted to eat it too.
When Huo Xi and Yang Fu went out, they only saw a carriage driving away in the distance.
"That carriage is so beautiful." Yang Fu looked at it blankly. His family didn't even have a carriage.
"That's just one horse. There are also two, four, and eight horses."
Huo Xi looked at the road ahead. Although the carriage was pulled by one horse, it didn't look like something ordinary people would find in their homes. It seemed like there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in Qionghua Lane.
Yang Fu opened his mouth wide: "There are four horses and eight horses?"
Huo Xi nodded, "They are all the specifications of the royal family. They are not easily seen in the outer city."
"A carriage drawn by four horses and eight horses would be so majestic to sit on. I just want to sit in a carriage drawn by one horse, even if it's just once." Yang Fu had a look on his face.
Huo Xi glanced at him: "What's so strange about a horse pulling one? When we make money, we'll buy one and sit on it as long as you like. Emperor Taizu couldn't help the people buy horses."
When she has money, she will also buy a horse and a carriage, and let Yang Fu sit on it until he vomits.
Yang Fu nodded happily: "Well, let's save money and live ashore when we have money. Then we can raise a horse at home and ride a carriage in the inner city!"
"Yeah. Let's go and find dad. Dad must be hungry."
"Let's go." Yang Fu pulled her and trotted towards the ferry.
The Huo family took on the job for another two days and received more than three taels of silver.
When they were about to leave from the Jiangning County pier the next day, the government officials posted a notice asking the fishermen to register at the river bank and load the grain northward.
The Hebo Office is not far from the Jiangning County Government Office and has its own independent government office. Leaving Yang Fu on the boat, Huo Xi and Huo Erhuai went to the Hepo Office.
The river park is very small, just a courtyard that you can enter once inside.
If all the fishermen rushed into the Yamen, there would be no room to stand. Several officers moved tables and chairs to the entrance of the Hebo Station to register, and even the largest Hebo official came out to do the work himself.
A ninth-grade river official, a low-grade official, and five servants, the whole river house only has seven people. The two tables were crowded by the fishermen.
Everyone has questions to ask.
The Hebo official had a good temper, a generous heart and a fat body. While registering, he asked everyone to line up, and everyone squeezed in. He also answered everyone's questions when he had time.
Huo Xi saw Zhao Sui.
Zhao Sui was a scholar, he should be considered the leader among the handymen, and the third-in-command in the Hebo Station. At this time, he was writing in the book with a pen, without even raising his head, writing vigorously.
Huo Xi hurriedly pulled Huo Erhuai and squeezed towards Zhao Sui.
When it was their turn, "Huo Erhuai, the captain is four feet long..." Huo Erhuai held Huo Xi tightly and said.
Zhao Sui raised his head after hearing the sound. Huo Xi smiled quickly at him: "Brother Zhao Sui."
Zhao Sui smiled and nodded at them, "It's you."
There were a lot of people, and there was no time to exchange greetings. Zhao Sui hurriedly lowered his head to register.
Huo Xi opened the table and asked, "Brother Zhao Sui, when will the food be delivered?"
"Loading will begin tomorrow afternoon, and the first batch of ships will leave at 9:00 the day after tomorrow."
"Then let's be the first batch."
"Okay. Then we'll bring the boat out tomorrow afternoon to load the grain."
Huo Xi nodded and asked again: "Brother Zhao Sui, how much grain should our ship carry?"
"The load is eight points."
Eight points of load? This is a bit harsh. It is a good use of everything. Fortunately, the outbound journey is with the current, otherwise rowing would be difficult.
It seems that we can't carry too many things. Her family's boat can carry about 120 shi at full load, and the load is 80%, which means it can carry about 100 shi of food.
"Brother Zhao Sui, we still have a lot of things on the ship, and our cabin must be demolished? Can you leave a cabin for us to sleep in?"
Zhao Sui was stunned for a moment, thinking that he still had a little baby who was a few months old at home. If the cabin was demolished, the little baby might be frozen.
After thinking about it, he wrote it down again in the book, then turned around and recorded it again on a bamboo slip. Huo Xi saw with sharp eyes that he wrote the word "eighty" on the book and the bamboo slip.
After Zhao Sui finished registering, he handed the bamboo piece to Huo Erhuai, "This is a voucher. Keep it properly. Use this to load and unload food."
Huo Xi looked up and saw Huo Erhuai's name, the status of the ship and the words eighty written on the bamboo piece.
"Brother Zhao Sui, is the number above the weight of the grain that my ship will load?"
Zhao Sui nodded: "Yes. You have three cabins, leave one. It's best to dismantle it yourself, and you can install it yourself when you come back."
If the county government officials were to demolish it, not even a good piece of it would be left.
Huo Xi understood and breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled Huo Erhuai, who was a little dazed, to thank him.
Zhao Sui just nodded towards them and continued his work.
Huo Erhuai was pulled out by Huo Xi, and he calmed down. Just now, he heard Xi'er and Zhao Sui baba, a little unbelievable: "Xi'er, did the Zhao family boy say that he can leave a cabin for us?"
