Chapter 514: Docking

Not to mention the surprise of Ziqing here, the father and son of the Hongxiu embroidery room over there also cried excitedly.

As soon as the owner of the embroidery house received the letter, he already knew that the goods they were going to receive were actually cash, so he personally brought people over. Seeing that this concubine honestly gave him all the goods and payments, he was happy, so he casually pulled out 20,000 taels of silver and gave it to the father and son.

"Daddy! W-That's too much, isn't it? This concubine swallowed his saliva nervously, and asked his father a little uneasily. He thought in his heart that his father could give him three or five thousand taels was enough for him to be grateful. This is also because his father was too harsh on his concubine before, so that he suddenly saw his father being so generous to him now, but his heart became uneasy.

They made an unexpected lot of money this time, and this concubine was able to count the goods and silver to him in a proper manner, and he was not greedy for ink in private, so the owner of this Hongxiu thought about letting this concubine go on the next trip. If you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed the horse night grass, which is of course more thorough as a senior businessman. Therefore, for the concubine's question, he generously gave a smile and replied: "This is for you, you have to put it away, don't waste it!" If you go again next time, you should also prepare some goods in private, and earn some family business for yourself by the way, so that your sons will not even have money to marry in the future. ”

Listening to his father's words, this concubine finally believed that his father was really willing to give him so much silver, and immediately cried tears and snot: "Dad! Thank you, I will do a good job and never dare to disappoint you again! ”

His eldest son trembled at the pile of silver, and was secretly glad that he didn't start to hide his grandfather's silver, otherwise it would not be his grandfather who gave them the silver this time, but they would probably be expelled back to their hometown, and they would not have the opportunity to run this marine business again in the future. As soon as he thought of his confused thoughts, he was so frightened that he cried in a low voice with his father.

The owner of this embroidery doesn't know! I thought that the two of them were so moved by their actions that they couldn't cry. I didn't feel good at the moment, and I felt that I was indeed too indifferent to treat this concubine before.

"Hey! Treat them better in the future! The proprietor gave himself a directive in his heart. He took Yinliang and went back with a large number of foreigners.

The fleet unloaded the silver and some things for the family, and continued north along the river, to send the goods brought back from overseas to the capital for sale. At the junction of the Great River and the Grand Canal, divert the canal to go ahead.

Although it has long been known that the ships of the Cao Gang will often stand in the way of other fleets. They deliberately delay other people's trips and artificially create losses for others in all aspects, but they never think about how to deal with these people in advance. Therefore, when their fleet was similarly subjected to this treatment, they were all outraged. But he could only follow slowly behind silently. Because there was no order from the family, even if there were artillery on their ships, they did not dare to use them. Originally, among their group, the leader of the Tianxing Sea Bodyguard, who had the most power to give orders, had already gone down to the South China Sea Wharf and returned to his dart bureau to report to work. The bodyguards who followed the ship, like everyone else, were not allowed to signal an attack casually, unless the other party was going to commit a robbery or other act that endangered the safety of the caravan.

The leader sent by Grand Steward Li thought that he was doing things for the emperor, and he always had a bigger temper than others. He said to Zhao Fujin, who was on the same boat as him: "It is said that you are the head of our fleet, and you have the right to give way to them with this warning." ”

Zhao Fujin didn't want to cause trouble for his host, so he replied with a headache: "Haven't we sent signals many times on our side, asking them to give way!" If they ignore it, they can't just drive the boat and crash into it, right? ”

"We can put a cannon out into the open space!"

"It didn't work! Put directly into the water. Then the cannon won't explode! It's not good to accidentally injure someone else's boat if it's not right, but if you accidentally destroy the embankment, it's a big crime! ”

All Zhao Fujin meant was that he was unwilling to set off artillery, they all regarded the owner as their own home, and they would not provoke if they could not cause trouble. With the current strength of the owner, he is not afraid of things, but if he wants to find things by himself, he is dying.

The person in charge of Li was a little unhappy, and he held back his anger and sneered: "You are so timid and afraid, how could your boss think of letting you do such a big thing?" Does your owner have no manpower available? ”

Zhao Fujin smiled: "Hehe! You don't understand this, it is precisely because I am timid and afraid that our host chose me. Our host said it. The world is so big, no one knows what can and can't be touched. If you don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the stupid bold, poke anything. I don't know how I died in the end, and if I tired others, it would be even more hateful. ”

The man felt that he was stabbed by Zhao Fujin's words, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he no longer dwelled on the topic of teaching a lesson to the fleet ahead. In the blink of an eye, he watched with hatred as the fleets of ships lined up in front of him walked side by side, leaving not even a gap for the ships behind. Zhao Fujin saw the anger in his heart, so he smiled and said with relief: "You don't care how they go." We've been at sea for a few months, haven't we come over like this? Now walking slowly like this, it is considered to be resting while walking, anyway, we don't need to hurry. The food on the ship is also replenished, they can consume without docking at the dock, and we don't need to dock either. As soon as they docked, we could get there. They can't really stop us at all! ”

"Cut! You said it so lightly, this is the second fleet blocking the front, we have passed this fleet, there is no more in front! ”

"Aren't we more than one, then?"

"Okay! I can't talk to you, I won't tell you! ”

In the end, they were not held back for long, because they were determined not to attack, and the opposing fleet had no excuse to take the initiative. This fleet is also to be operated, and it is impossible to stand still in order to stop them.

As soon as they arrived at the wharf in the suburbs of Beijing, they could see a lot of their own family waiting for them at the wharf, and Ah Jing's two uncles had already stood on the deck facing the wharf. This road is blocked, can only walk slowly, they have lived at the bottom since childhood, know not to do a battle of will, but also patient, greedily look at the hometown river does not have much beautiful scenery on both sides, even if it is dirt and weeds, they also feel close. At this time, when they saw their family, and it seemed that they also saw their niece Ah Jing also standing on the dock among her aunt and cousins, the brothers felt that their noses were sour and they wanted to cry. The elder brother rubbed his eyes and said to the younger brother, "Brother! It's your niece Ah Jing who is standing with your daughter? How did she return to the capital? ”

The younger brother thought for a while and replied, "It seems that my nephew and son-in-law are about to take office, right?!" ”

"Roar! Yes! Time flies so fast, let's go out, the second term of this nephew and son-in-law is going to be time! ”

The people on the shore were not waiting for the boat to come to shore, but there were also young people running back and forth, trying to find the person they were looking for. The eldest son of Uncle Jing's family was also looking for his father and uncle among the many docked ships, and he finally saw his father and uncle on the penultimate boat, waving his hands excitedly and shouting loudly: "Dad! Uncle! I'm here! ”

The two brothers, who were talking to their niece, heard someone shouting for their father and uncle, and the eldest brother listened to the sound that was very similar to his eldest son, so he concentrated on looking for his son in the crowd on the dock. Finally, he saw a familiar face between the two vigorously waving arms in the crowd, and he also raised his right hand and waved, "Son! Your dad is here! ”

As a younger brother, he originally wanted to despise his brother, but he raised his arm and waved his hand in a daze, shouting at the crowd of daughters-in-law and children: "Daughter-in-law! Son, daughter, I'm here! ”

The family members who had already seen them all waved their hands to indicate that they had seen it.

Boats don't have to pull the brakes (remove the brakes) like cars or trains, they have to adjust their position first, and then slowly and slowly approach before throwing out the ship's sight. From the time the big guys saw each other to the time they talked face to face, nearly an hour passed while waiting for the boat to stop.

Ah Jing saw that the two uncles were the first to stand in front of her, so she had no choice but to say hello first: "Uncle, uncle, you have worked hard!" ”

Now that the brothers see this niece who can become a rich man with a lot of money by letting them go, they are not excited but they have to pretend to be very excited! What's more, they are really excited, and they can't wait to take out the money they have earned on the spot for their niece to see. Look at how good they are, no! Give me a chance to earn so much money and come back.

"It's not hard! It's not hard! Then he whispered and proudly said, "Niece! We're making a lot of money this time! ”

Ah Jing smiled and nodded. When the uncles had finished talking to their aunts, cousins, and cousins, they asked them to carry the contents of the cabin into the carriage.

Ah Jing has actually just returned to the capital not long ago, and Xiaolong's second term of office will expire in a short time, and the position has been given above. As soon as it expires, he will immediately return to the capital to serve as a waiter, and he will be promoted by two levels, if the local official and the Beijing official are strictly counted as the lower half grade of the same level, he will be promoted to three levels in a row! Now that the future destination has been decided, Xiaolong will do the finishing work in the back, so let Ah Jing come back with the child first.

Ah Jing didn't have much to do when she came back, the yard that her brother and sister-in-law had bought at home had already been sorted out by the third and fourth sisters-in-law, and she could live with the quilt. But she doesn't like to live in a single-door detached house that is not popular, and only takes her sons to live in the suite of the future community given to them by the third and fourth brothers. Occasionally, I followed my sisters-in-law out to walk around the new community of Mao'er Hutong, and by the way, I saw if my mother's business was good. Life is very pleasant! A few days ago, the third brother told her that her uncles had returned from overseas, so they would go to the Beijing suburb wharf and ask her to prepare a vehicle to pick up the goods at the wharf.

While arranging the carriage and manpower, she sent someone to inform her aunt and mother, and personally led everyone to come with the third brother's convoy to pick up people and goods. (To be continued.) )
