Without mentioning anything about the Xiaoyao Sect, he ordered some small dishes to be served, and while eating and drinking, Xiao Jiulang and Xiao Jiulang chatted and got closer. Xiao Jiulang knew what he was thinking and didn't point out these key points. However, after a few drinks, the two of them became much closer.
Xiao Jiulang himself had just begun to understand Xiaoyao Sect, so he naturally had nothing to say, not to mention that the master had explained some more, and it was impossible to talk about it, so he kept talking about interesting things about his business world.
He is also an interesting person. He started doing business with his uncle in the Xiao family when he was more than ten years old. Over the years, he has traveled to many places in the Central Plains. How can his vision be comparable to that of ordinary people? In addition, what he said was vivid and interesting, which attracted Xiao Jiulang to interject from time to time. After a few words, the two people soon became brothers.
Because he heard that Xiao Jiulang's ancestral home was the Xiao family in Lanling, Wujin, Ma Yun even called it a strange coincidence. It turned out that his employer Xiao Zhen's ancestral home was also a prominent Lanling family in Wujin. There was no need for Xiao Jiulang to deceive Ma Yun, because his great ancestor was born in Lanling, and only moved to Fujian in the first year of Zhonghe, Emperor Xizong of the previous dynasty, and took up the post of local governor. It was in the hands of Xiao Jiulang's grandfather that he gradually The decline went down.
Ma Yun enthusiastically ordered to go down and have a cabin for two people prepared for Su Hou and Xiao Jiulang in the cabin on the first floor. Xiao Jiulang accepted it with some kindness. No matter what happened at this moment, the intimacy between the two people had reached the extreme.
The meal lasted all the way to Shizhong Mountain at the mouth of Poyang Lake. Although it was not too late, we were about to enter the Yangtze River. If the ships were not repaired here, they would have to sail the Yangtze River at night. As a merchant ship belonging to a large commercial bank, it would naturally not take this risk unless it was an urgent matter, so Ma Yun ordered the ship to stop and anchor at the shore for repairs.
Although it is said to be close to the shore, it is actually still some distance away from the real shore. This is also the rule for tourists staying in a different place. Firstly, it is for the safety of people and cargo on the ship, and secondly, it is to avoid unnecessary trouble in different places.
Xiao Jiulang thanked Ma Yun and went out to find Su Hou and go into the cabin to rest together. Seeing Su Hou leaning against the cabin and admiring the scenery of Shizhong Mountain, Xiao Jiulang went over to talk to Su Hou about Ma Yun's kindness. Su Hou did not pay attention to these details and praised Xiao Jiulang's communication. At the same time, he also did not forget to make fun of Xiao Jiulang's dinner and dinner.
However, no one from the Yin family, Wu Xuan, and Chen Xuan were seen. Su Hou seemed to see Xiao Jiulang's expression, and told Xiao Jiulang that those people had gone into the cabin. Although Xiao Jiulang was not overly concerned, he still asked about Mrs. Yin's condition, but Su Hou gently shook his head.
Looking at Su Hou's expression, Xiao Jiulang guessed that Mrs. Yin was not in good condition, so he didn't say anything. Together with Su Hou, we came to the cabin prepared by Ma Yun. Su Hou was very satisfied when he saw the cabin, especially there was a pot of rice wine and three dishes of side dishes on the small table in the cabin. Even Su Hou, who didn't care, couldn't help but praise Ma Yun.
Xiao Jiulang was surprised to find that although his uncle drank, it took him a long time to take a sip. It was the wine prepared by Ma Yun, and he drank it in one gulp. Xiao Jiulang saw that Su Hou was not difficult to deal with, so he smiled and asked Su Hou the reason.
Su Hou rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiulang and said in a low voice: "When we first met, did you feel that your uncle was not interesting enough? Didn't you give you a meeting gift?"
Xiao Jiulang immediately shook his head like a rattle. Even if he had this idea in his heart, he would not dare to say it. Besides, judging from Su Hou's demeanor, he was not such a person. I accepted the piece of jade from the master. Judging from the master's demeanor, it must be worth a lot of money. Although his uncle Su Hou didn't give him a gift, it was normal.
Unexpectedly, Su Hou arrogantly took out the old gourd in the baggage again, shook it at Xiao Jiulang and said: "The wine in this gourd was prepared ten years ago. I only drink it once a day, and only take a small sip at a time. I filled it up when only half of it was left. Now, the large jar of wine we had together back then is already the last of it." He looked a little sad.
Xiao Jiulang was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Hou with some embarrassment. He had taken several sips of this jug of wine. No wonder Su Hou snatched it away and let him drink from the other wine gourd. It must be a good old wine!
"This is not just any good wine, but a medicated wine brewed with over a thousand years of natural materials and treasures, specially used to restore vitality and improve the meridians. Not to mention that one mouthful is worth a thousand gold, it is enough to be worth half a year of cultivation for ordinary people. The effect! Tell me if it is a treasure!" Su Hou seemed to have remembered something, and looked quietly out of the cabin window, with a hint of evocative reminiscence in his tone.
Xiao Jiulang is not a fool. Although he has never cultivated advanced Qi, he has opened up the foundation of cultivation because of chance. Hearing that he had received such a great benefit, he was grateful to Su Hou but felt a little embarrassed, but he drank several sips without knowing what was going on.
Su Hou seemed to notice Xiao Jiulang's uneasiness and signaled Xiao Jiulang not to worry about it. He said that Xiao Jiulang was more to his liking, otherwise he would not have let him take a few sips. Xiao Jiulang quickly thanked Su Hou for his attention, but Su Hou told him with a smile that if he didn't drink, he would give him a greeting gift when he arrived in Jinling, but now there is no more.
Xiao Jiulang didn't care either, but he had a tacit understanding with Su Hou. The two people were chatting here when they heard a voice coming from outside the cabin. Su Hou motioned to Xiao Jiulang to open the window and take a look. After Xiao Jiulang pushed away, he saw Ma Yun standing outside, talking to someone in a small boat in the water.
The sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Jiulang couldn't see clearly the people in the boat, but he heard the sound of Ma Yun chatting with the man. It seemed that he was not alone, asking if the boat was going to Jinling. Xiao Jiulang was worried about his master. He faintly heard what the man said about Zhengfa Sect, and couldn't help but look at Su Hou who was already sitting on the wooden bed.
Su Hou did not speak, but still sent a message to Xiao Jiulang not to be nervous. They were two disciples of the Zhengfa Sect who wanted to take a merchant ship to Jinling City. It seemed that Su Hou didn't take the other party seriously, so Xiao Jiulang remained silent.
After a while, the lights on the shore came on one after another, and Xiao Jiulang walked out. Ma Yun was still standing on the deck outside. He was a little happy to see Xiao Jiulang coming out. He pointed to the shore and told Xiao Jiulang that this is the town of Shizhongshan, and across the lake is the Yangtze River Estuary, and the mountain opposite is the famous Lushan Mountain.
Of course Xiao Jiulang couldn't see the stretching mountains clearly, but when he saw the brilliant lights on the shore, he felt a little more at ease. Because not only were the lights there brightly lit, but the sound of silk and bamboo could also be heard faintly, making it a peaceful scene.
But is the world peaceful?
