  Chapter 76 Slip a corner

  That night, Mu Yan's dreams were all gloomy.

  As for that little liar, her life is colorful, vivid, and dazzling. He also wanted such splendor.

  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 ginseng chicken soup sent by the Cheng family.

  Drinking made my lips numb, but it's hard to refuse. Whenever he drank a few sips, his mother's eyes were full of tears.

  He was afraid.

  Li Yi Kan Er dressed him up, carried his book bag, and sent him to the Imperial College.

   "Master, it's still early." Kan Er looked at the sky, didn't the young master usually step into the Imperial College?

  Mu Yan ignored it with her hands behind her back.

  Kan Erli looked at each other, then got into the carriage and sat on the shaft.

   "Go to Qionghua Lane." In the carriage, Mu Yan said lightly.

ah? Go to Qionghua Lane? Not going to the Imperial College? Kan Er was about to ask, but was pulled away by Li Yi.

  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.

   Didn't hear a response, touched his nose, and went back to the shaft. He Li looked at each other, what on earth is the young master going to do?

  Mu Yan himself didn't know what to do.

   just sat in the carriage blankly. No urge to get out of the car either.

   After a long while, he knocked on the wall of the car, "Let's go. Go to the Imperial College."

ah? What is this for? Come take a turn?

  Kan Er was confused, Li Yi flicked the reins lightly, and the carriage moved again.

   After a long while, Kan Er didn't hold back: "Young master, are you here to find Mrs. Huo?" But the young master didn't get out of the car.

   Thought that the young master would not answer, unexpectedly, a sentence came from the carriage: "The bald butter is gone, remember to come and buy it next time."

ah? Out of bald butter? Didn't you buy eight bottles last time?

  Give my wife two bottles, and sell two bottles to the Imperial College, there should be four more bottles. Did the young master drink it like water?

  Kan Er was about to ask a question, but Li Yi glanced at him lightly, and then closed his mouth. Okay, next time I'll buy bald butter. In fact, he also wants to eat.

  When Huo Xi and Yang Fu went out, they only saw a carriage driving away from afar.

   "That carriage is so beautiful." Yang Fu stared blankly. His family didn't even have a cart.

   "That's only one horse. There are two horses, four horses, and eight horses."

  Huo Xi looked around on the road ahead. Although the carriage was drawn by a horse, it looked like it was not something that ordinary people could have in their homes. It seems that Qionghua Lane is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

  Yang Fu opened his mouth wide: "There are four horses and eight horses?"

  Huo Xi nodded, "It's all the specifications of the royal family. It's not easy to see from the outer city."

   "A carriage with four horses and eight horses, how majestic it is to sit on it. I just need to sit in a carriage with one horse, even once." Yang Fu thought about it.

  Huo Xi glanced at him: "What's so special about a horse-drawn horse? We'll buy one when we earn money, and sit as much as you want. Emperor Taizu couldn't help the common people to buy horses."

  When the time comes when she has money, she will also buy a horse and a carriage so that Yang Fu can sit until he vomits.

  Yang Fu nodded happily: "Well, then let's save money, and when we have money, we will go ashore to live, and then raise a horse at home, and take a carriage to the inner city!"

   "Well. Let's go and find Dad. Dad must be hungry."

   "Let's go." Yang Fu pulled her and trot towards the ferry.

  The Huo family worked for another two days and earned more than three taels of silver.

  The next day when they were about to leave from the Jiangning County wharf, the government servants posted a notice asking the fishermen to register at the Hebo Station and carry out nuclear loading of grain to the north.

  Hebosuo is not far from Jiangning County Yamen, and has its own independent Yamen. Leaving Yang Fu on the boat, Huo Xi and Huo Erhuai went to the river berth.

  The river park is very small, just a courtyard once you enter.

  If all the fishermen flooded into the Yamen, there would be no place to stand. A few servants moved tables and chairs to the gate of the Hepo Office to register, and even the biggest Hepo officer came out to do the work himself.

  A nine-rank Hebo official, plus one non-rank official, plus five miscellaneous servants, the whole Hepo office is only seven people. The two tables were crowded by fishermen.

  Everyone has questions to ask.

  The Hebo officer has a good temper, a broad-minded and fat appearance. While registering, he asks everyone to line up, don't squeeze them all over, and answers everyone's questions when he has time.

  Huo Xi saw Zhao Sui.

   Zhao Sui is a scholar, he should be regarded as the leader among the handymen, and the third in command in the Hebo Office. At this time, he was registering in the notebook with a pen, without raising his head, writing vigorously.

  Huo Xi hurriedly dragged Huo Erhuai towards Zhao Sui.

  When it was their turn, "Huo Erhuai, Captain Sizhang..." Huo Erhuai held Huo Xi tightly and said.

  Zhao followed the sound and raised his head. Huo Xi hurriedly smiled 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 pleasantries, so Zhao Sui hurriedly lowered his head to register.

  Huo Xi grabbed the table and asked, "Brother Zhao Sui, when will the food be delivered?"

   "The shipment will start at noon tomorrow, and the first batch of ships will leave at 10:00 the next day."

   "Then let's be the first batch."

   "Okay. Then the boat will be loaded with grain at noon tomorrow."

  Huo Xi nodded, and asked again: "Brother Zhao Sui, how much food does our ship need?"

   "Eight points of load."

  Eight points of load? This is a bit harsh. It's been used to the best of its ability. Fortunately, the journey is downstream, otherwise rowing would be strenuous.

   It seems that you can't carry too many things. Her family's boat can hold about one hundred and twenty shi with a full load, and the load is eight percent, which is almost a hundred shi of grain.

   "Brother Zhao Sui, we still have a lot of things on board, and our cabin needs to be dismantled? Can you leave us a cabin to sleep in?"

  Zhao Sui was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was still a baby who was a few months old in his house. If the cabins were all dismantled, the baby would be frozen.

  After thinking about it, I wrote it down again in the notebook, and then turned around and recorded it on a bamboo piece. Huo Xi saw sharply that he wrote "eighty" on the notebook and the bamboo piece.

  After Zhao Sui registered, he handed the bamboo piece to Huo Erhuai, "This is a certificate, please keep it properly. Use this to load and unload food."

  Huo Xi looked up and saw Huo Erhuai's name, the condition of the ship and the words "80" written on the bamboo piece.

   "Brother Zhao Sui, is the number on this the weight of grain that my boat will carry?"

  Zhao Sui nodded: "Yes. You three cabins, keep one. It's best to dismantle it yourself, and you can install it yourself when you come back."

  If the officials of the county government were to dismantle it, it is estimated that there would not be even a good board left.

  Huo Xi understood, and heaved a sigh of relief. Pulling the dazed Huo Erhuai to thank him.

  Zhao Sui only nodded towards them, and went on to work again.

  Huo Erhuai was pulled out by Huo Xi, and he was relieved. Just now I heard that Xi'er and Zhao Sui were talking about each other, and I couldn't believe it: "Xi'er, did the Zhao family boy say that he can save a cabin for us?"

   There will be three more later. Ask for a wave of tickets, please~
