Chapter 788 A good show

"I've been in Jiangnan for more than ten years." A middle-aged man in a cloth robes and a hat stood at the bow of the boat and said with a smile.

His voice was gentle, and he couldn't tell the accents of north, south, west and east, but it was extremely pleasant and comfortable.

A little girl shook her little head and asked curiously: "Are you from Jiangnan?"

"I can't say that I've been everywhere. If I have to say it, I can only say that I'm from the Great Zhou!"

The little girl tightened her nose and snorted: "Isn't this nonsense? Who is not from Dazhou?"

At this moment, the woman at the helm said angrily: "Little girl, don't be rude to the guests!" The girl was so scared that she stuck out her tongue. The woman at the helm quickly said to the commoner: "Don't blame the guest, please offend the child if he is ignorant!"

"Hahaha!" The man in a commoner chuckled and said, "It's okay, I have a daughter in my family, who is much more savage than her!"

The little girl's curiosity came. She came to the public, looked carefully, and suddenly said in an old-fashioned manner: "Your daughter is blessed!"

The common man was puzzled, "How do you know?"

"Because there is a father who loves her!" The girl's eyes were bright, but when she mentioned the word "dad", she became sad inexplicably.

The man in a commoner noticed the change in the girl's expression. He touched her from his arms, took out a few pieces of candy, and stuffed it to the girl, "Try it, this is the sugar outside the block, made of milk."

"Milk? Isn't it drunk? How can I make candy?" The little girl was stunned, but her hands were not slow. She peeled off a candy and stuffed it into her mouth immediately.

Wow!

It tastes milky, it's really delicious!

The little girl hesitated for a moment and immediately ran to her mother's side and stuffed a candy to her... There were three left, two left for her younger brother at home, and one left.

"Mom, leave one for dad... Can he eat it?" The little girl's eyes were hazy.

The woman breathed a long sigh and touched her daughter's head with her hand, without saying anything. At this moment, the ship had already reached the shore, and the man in a civilian took out a bank voucher of ten taels... The woman was startled and hurriedly said, "Customer, I, I have just worked here for three days, I have no money on me, so I can't find it!"

The man in a commoner didn’t have any smaller money on his body, “Then you accept it, no need to look for it, it’s not easy to do business!”

"That won't be done!"

The woman was anxious, "I rely on my efforts to make money and eat, so I can't let the guests suffer losses... Otherwise, I'll find someone." The woman looked around and saw that there was no one on the dock...where have they been running, and it was not like this in the past!

She was extremely anxious. The man in a common man looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled, "How about this, at noon, I won't go to the restaurant anymore, just have a meal on the boat, which is the money!"

The woman waved her hands repeatedly, how many meals were enough for ten taels!

"Celebrity, why not like this? I cook for you, eat while waiting. When someone comes, I go to borrow money and ask the customer for it as much as possible."

The common man didn't say much. This was a simple woman, not greedy or possessive, and it was not easy. She got on the boat to cook, and the little girl was obviously very curious about the common man, "You, have you read a book?"

"I have read some, not many!"

"I also want to study. I originally wanted to go to school, but my father..." The girl's voice became lower and lower.

"What's wrong with your father?" asked the common man.

"He, he is dead!" The little girl squatted on the shore, sobbing softly, crying sadly. The man in the civilian took out a few more pieces of candy to make the little girl happy, and said nothing. The man in the civilian finally figured out that the little girl's father was a silk reelerator. A few days ago, he worked in the workshop, but for some reason, he was pushed into the pot.

The silkworm cocoon must be put into a hot water pot before it can be separated and drawn, and from a silkworm cocoon to a long raw silk... The little girl's father is responsible for this and fell into the hot boiling water.

In just a moment, his face, chest, and neck were all seriously burned, and his eyes were damaged.

The workshop carried the little girl's father back home and gave her ten taels of silver... A person who was seriously scalded, what's the use of this little money? Soon, his wound became inflamed and suppurated.

In order to save his father, the family not only spent all ten taels of silver, but also sold all their property, and even lost the house, but still failed to save his father's life.

The little girl's mother had to rely on her ability to row when she was young, ferry on the river, fish and sell money, and maintain her survival with her and a few children.

The woman was very capable. In less than a quarter of an hour, a steamed knife fish was prepared, and there was a bowl of egg flower soup and a pot of rice. She said embarrassedly: "Celebrity, are you drinking? If you don't let the girl buy it for you, she will be quick!"

The man in a commoner waved his hand, "No need, the family is kept strictly!"

As he said that, the man in a commoner picked up his rice bowl and ate it in big mouthfuls. The fragrant rice and the more delicious Yangtze River swordfish were indeed very enjoyable. The three fresh Yangtze River fresh, well-deserved!

The man in a common man was having a happy meal when suddenly a group of people came on the way, looking like thousands, making noise, heading straight for this nameless pier.

The little girl was curious and looked up. The woman looked at her twice, then quickly changed her face and colored, and said to the common man: "Callant, get on the boat quickly and avoid it first!"

The man in a common man frowned slightly. He did not refuse, but asked after getting on the boat: "Who are they? Why are they so majestic?"

The woman bit her lips tightly and said with force: "They are my husband-killing enemies!"

"Oh!" The man in a civilian took a breath, "Do they dare to kill someone?"

The woman snorted, "There are nothing they dare not do! These people named Ma are so powerful! As council representatives on Jiangnan Road, their business is getting bigger and bigger, and killing people is like crushing a bed bug to death!"

The man in a civilian frowned and twisted into big bumps!

"How powerful can he be, a parliamentary representative on Jiangnan Road, have? How dare he act recklessly?"

The woman sighed deeply, "I didn't understand before. It was told by the child's father that the uncle named Ma was in the capital. I heard that many high-ranking officials would listen to him. If they don't listen to him, they wouldn't get the money!"

The man in a civilian quickly turned his brains. The man surnamed Ma and still cared about money. He seemed to be very good... He was so amazing, even his nephew was so majestic!

amazing!

The eyes of the common man became more and more serious.

At this moment, a group of Ma's subordinates escorted more than a dozen people. When they got closer, there were almost more than 200 people. Outside the dog's legs were countless ragged victims. They glared and did not dare to go too far, but they were unwilling to let the Ma's people go.

After following him all the way to the nameless wharf, a middle-aged man gritted his teeth and asked his subordinates to line up on the shore. He yelled at the hungry people: "What else do you want to do? Do you expect our Ma Master to treat you? Tell you that these people are all pirates and robbers! Their food is robbed. If you want their food, you will help you cancel the bill and take charge of it!"

The greasy middle-aged man yelled angrily several times, and the hungry people were finally afraid. Some people retreated, but some were unwilling to accept it.

"Hu San, don't think that we are following the person surnamed Ma. We are afraid of you! Brother Dafa came back from the Liaodong military farm, and his food is his own! If you are willing to lend it to us, you can't control it!"

"Bah!" Hu San laughed and said, "I dare not say anything else. In this land of Jiangnan, our Ma Ma stomped his feet and the Yangtze River would make three feet waves!"

The man in a civilian looked outside in the cabin, his face so dark!

No wonder the late emperor ignored his body and knew that the medicine was harmful, but he had to take it... Sitting in this position, he had to be angry, and he could not ignore it and listen to it!

Looking down in the capital is really different from looking down in the capital.

Just like two kinds of rotten apples, one is that it is very bad on the outside, but it is not very good inside, and it can still be eaten.

Another type is that there is only a little injury outside, and the more you dig, the bigger the apple becomes, the whole apple needs to be thrown away.

A little problem in the capital will become a big problem in the local area, which is so big that it is boundless and covers the sky!

Then Hu San said arrogantly: "The same thing, those who know the appearance will listen to Mr. Ma... Why don't you live a life? If Mr. Ma appreciates him, he might be better than his brothers! If you don't have any oil and salt, and you still think that the court can take care of you, that would be a big mistake!"

"Tell you, is the official of the King of Qi great? Our Master Ma went to the royal palace to attend the birthday party! Is Mr. Wei very famous? He personally wrote a banner for our Master Ma, and even the old man, the champion Hou, praised us Master Ma for being capable! Think about it, with the land in Jiangnan, who can control our Master Ma?"

This guy was smug and proudly.

When he mentioned the Champion Hou, the man in the cabin obviously trembled all over and his fists couldn't help but shrink and clench.

At this moment, suddenly, the uncle Ma Xiangma finally came. There were still dozens of knights coming, including several people working in court.

Ma Xiang rushed through the crowd and arrived at the shore. When he saw Hu San, his eyes turned red with anger.

"How come you make such a big mess if you ask me to catch someone?"

Hu San was frightened, "Master Ma, the villain took people directly as you told him, so that those mud legs could know that they were powerful!"

"fart!"

Ma Xiang is so angry! He really wants to strangle Hu San to death.

You dog, what do you know?

His uncle just sent a secret letter saying that the Marquis left Beijing and went to Yangzhou to inspect the railway construction. With the Marquis' temper, he might cross the river, or maybe someone would hear that the Marquis would sue the emperor when he came.

Seeing the letter, Ma Xiang was immediately scared and sweated!

My God!

Champion Hou is here!

Although most of the newspapers in Jinling were bribed by him, there were always some places that could not be covered. If something happened at this moment and the Marquis heard it a little, his head would be gone!

"Friends, listen to me. Hu San is drinking too much and talking nonsense! Everyone is a fellow villager, and I, Mr. Ma, won't be so stupid! Don't worry, I will lend you the grain. Just 10% of the interest, and you will have as much as you want, without any additional conditions! Everyone is going back! Go back quickly!"

Hu San was stupid, "Master Ma, you can't give it to you for nothing. Don't you want their fields? You also want them to go to the weaving workshop to be coolies!"
