Chapter 508: Spirit Rhino
Because it was clear in the daytime, Liu Shi was driving a little faster than the night, so the family quickly arrived at the inn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shopkeeper had already opened the door of the inn and was directing the men to place stools, tables and chairs, and when he saw Liu Shi's family of five coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and greeted him warmly and respectfully: "Mrs. Lord is back." How about it, our sunrise on the sea in Quanzhou can be regarded as a must, right? ”
When he spoke, the shopkeeper's face was full of pride and pride for his homeland.
Liu Shi replied to the shopkeeper's words gently, and thought in his heart, with such people who love their homeland, why can't Daqi be rich and prosperous, and let the Quartet surrender to the court!
"Did Lady Josephine and the children come down?" Peng Jin glanced upstairs and asked with a smile.
The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "They went to the port early in the morning, saying that they would see if the ocean-going sea caravan led by Mr. Josephine had returned." ”
Mr. Josephine's ocean-going caravan is now famous in Quanzhou, and has become a topic of conversation among the people, and the shopkeeper's tone is also very familiar and full of admiration.
As a businessman, Mr. Josephine's achievements are enough to make any businessman bow and sigh. The shopkeeper is one of them.
"They went to the port to wait for the caravan!" Peng Jin was surprised.
Could it be that Mr. Josephine had some unique way of sending messages to his family, so as soon as the caravan appeared, Mrs. Josephine rushed over with the children to meet him?
"Then let's go over and have a look, and welcome the safe return of Mr. Josephine and the ocean-going caravan together." Liu Shi smiled, his tone inevitably brought a bit of amazement, this may be the last time in his life to welcome the caravan back.
Speaking of which, Mr. Josephine's ocean-going caravan was also established with his single-handed support, and it was one of his most outstanding political achievements during his three years in Quanzhou. Now that I want to leave suddenly, it always makes people feel a little sad and can't give up.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Che clapped his hands happily and cheered, "I've never seen such a large fleet!" ”
Liu Che said, and stretched out his arms in a large arc, which was amazingly larger than the ships of the caravan.
The largest ship of the long-distance sea caravan formed by Mr. Josephine was as many as ten sails, with a huge hull, three floors above and below, which could accommodate dozens of nearly 100 people, and was equipped with bows and crossbows and other weapons, and was a combination of accommodation, warehouse, and warship.
Most of the other ships have eight sails, huge hulls, and empty cabins, which are mostly used to store and transport goods and load daily necessities for sailing on the sea.
The whole caravan is full of grandeur when it moves towards the wind, and it is indeed spectacular.
Peng Jin on the side saw Liu Che's excited appearance dancing and privately speculated whether Liu Che would become an excellent shipwright or seafarer in the future.
Since Nuan Nuan brought back the first model of a ship to Liu Che from Josephine Firm, Liu Che has always been very curious about all kinds of ships, disassembling and assembling them, and constantly pondering.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up! lest you be unable to meet the caravan back to Hong Kong. Peng Jin smiled, and had already held a pair of young son's little hands as he spoke.
Liu Shi smiled and nodded, catching up with Nuan Nuan, who had already jumped away first.
So the family of five got back into the carriage and galloped all the way to the port of the seaside town.
When they arrived at the port, they saw from afar that Mrs. Josephine was leading the three siblings, Kate, John, and Elizabeth, standing at the entrance of the harbor in anticipation, with surprise and joy on their faces.
When Peng Jin followed their gaze, he saw that Mr. Josephine's ocean-going caravan was getting closer and closer to the shore, painted with the banner of a brave and strong eagle, hunting and waving in the sea breeze, with a majestic and magnificent momentum.
John was the first to spot Liu Shi's family of five, and hurriedly turned around and waved loudly.
Mrs. Josephine was alarmed by John's shout, looked over, and saw that Liu Zhi and Peng Jin had also rushed over with Nuan Nuan, Liu Zhan and Liu Che, and hurriedly lifted the corner of her skirt to meet her, and pointed to Guifan on the sea in the distance with a smile on her face, saying:
"I said how to come together early in the morning when I was in a bright mood, and my heart was pounding, and I always felt like something good was about to happen.
I hurriedly took the children here.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived, I saw the returning caravan from afar!
Hmm, that's like what you Han people say?
That's right, 'no body, no colorful phoenix wings, and a little bit of a good heart'! ”
Mrs. Josephine was so excited that she even quoted Li Yishan's famous sentence.
Peng Jin looked at Mrs. Josephine's undisguised joy on her face, and the anticipation and excitement on the faces of the three children, and was sincerely happy for them to arrive, nodded with a smile, and urged: "Then let's get closer, just in time to welcome the caravan back safely!" ”
The family doesn't have too many expectations for the wanderer who sails away, they just hope that the wanderer can safely avoid the waves of the sea, return safely, and reunite the family.
Mrs. Josephine was willing to let Mr. Josephine go across the ocean to discover the treasures buried in the depths of the sea, not because she was greedy for money, but because she hoped that her husband would be rewarded for his ambition and have no regrets in his life!
At this time, Peng Jin's proposal, of course, everyone did not agree.
So the group talked and laughed, and their expressions could not hide their excitement and joy to come to the shore, and stared at the approaching caravan.
In a few moments, the cheers of the ship's sailors were clearly heard in their ears; Mr. Josephine, who was standing on the deck, waving happily to them, had a clearer eyebrow.
When the boat had come to shore and had not yet come to a standstill, Mr. Josephine jumped out of the boat impatiently, with a skilful and neat movement, and looked like a veteran.
Mrs. Josephine was startled, and her heart hung high as her husband jumped ship, until she was relieved to see Mr. Josephine landing firmly on the shore.
"Madame, you're all here!" Mr. Josephine first hurriedly greeted Liu Shi Peng Jin, and then immediately hugged Mrs. Josephine, who was waiting on the side with tears in her eyes, touched her cheek gently, and smiled excitedly: "I'm back!" ”
Every traveler who is away from the ocean will be thrilled when they can see their relatives come to the ferry to greet them when they return home.
Everyone who has long been accustomed to seeing the intimacy between foreigners did not be surprised by the "out of line" behavior of Josephine and his wife, including Nuan Nuan and Liu Zhan and Liu Che.
After Liu Shi and Peng Jin greeted Mr. Josephine, they thoughtfully led the three children to quietly retreat aside, without disturbing Mr. Josephine's reunion with his wife and children.
