Chapter 177: Returning Home
At the same time, on the head of the water market outside Huangzhou Mansion, more than a dozen people were looking into the distance from a port surrounded by a cloth curtain.
Naturally, some people came to Huangfu to report the good news, but the main owner was in the head of the water market at this time, and he was looking at the direction of the river with a calm face. By Huang Dalang's side, Sun Li, Lei Bao, as well as Zhu Gao, Zhang He, Sun Qi Niangzi, and Ye Dalong are all together, of course, Wan Chunnu and Zhou Yannu will definitely not bring them, Lao Qi and Erniang are still waiting at home to release the list, and the manpower of the miscellaneous envoys is also Kong Bo and Kong Yun father and son.
February 2 is almost frightened, although the river wind is still cold at this time, but it hides warmth and is not too hurtful. Looking at the shadows of the sails in the river from afar, Huang Dalang couldn't help but think of the poem "A Thousand Sails on the River" that he had with the wild monk in front of Anguo Temple last year.
Seeing that the sun had touched the past two o'clock, he saw a small river shuttle galloping towards him, and he recognized from a distance that it was none other than Lu Yu'er who was shaking his hand at the bow of the boat. When the boat stopped at the port, Lu Yu'er jumped down and smiled at Huang Dalang: "Young master, Daddy asked me to report to the ship, and the fleet will arrive in a while." ”
Huang Dalang nodded, and looked down the river again, only to see that the sails on the river would not be recognized for a while and a half, so he asked Lu Yuer to identify, only to know that this time Lu Er went to Hangzhou after getting the news, gritted his teeth and went down to Quanzhou again and then made a fortune in the city, when he went, it was just a fast boat dragging a cargo ship with a bow of 200 materials, and when he came back, it was already a small lucky ship with six bows and 500 materials, in a slang that Huang Dalang himself did not understand to describe, this is simply a shotgun for a gun!
After staying for about half an hour, they arrived at the six-bow short and fat round fortune boats lined up on the river, and slowly walked towards the port by dozens of swaying river shuttles. At this time, the sunset was just right, Huang Dalang came to see the pergola in his hand, and saw Lu Er, Sun Xin, Hu Ren standing on the bow of the first bow, as well as Yang Zongbao with Fan Yangli covered with black yarn, in addition to many people who did not know, wanted to come to the east this time, made a lot of money, and should have a lot of gains in terms of manpower.
When the fortune boat finally stopped, he saw Lu Er leading the way, and when he saw it from a distance, he laughed and said, "Da Lang, today is not the day for you to take the exam, how did you do in the exam?" ”
Huang Dalang saw Lu Er's red light and refreshed appearance at this time, and even his clothes were changed to rich and satin clothes, where was there still the appearance of a fisherman in the past, so he stepped forward and smiled: "But I don't know, the top ten should be difficult to run, uncle's trip to the river this time will definitely make a profit, quickly talk to me." ”
Lu Er shook his hand and smiled: "Very busy!" Or first brought Da Lang to recognize the talent, come and see the master's house soon! ”
Sun Xin, Yang Zongbao and Hu Ren, who followed behind, came to meet Huang Dalang first, and then Yang Zongbao first led his uncle Yang Huai and nephew to meet Huang Dalang. The story of Yang Huai's havoc in Ezhou City that day, and single-handedly entered the Zhizhou Mansion to take revenge has now been compiled into Tao Zhen's joke and sung, and the joke also specifically mentions that he fought in the last bloody battle on Changjie and was rescued by the heroes of the Tiandao League, which naturally attracted Huang Dalang, who did not know the truth.
After seeing his father and son, Huang Dalang suddenly remembered something, and his heart jumped wildly at Yang Zaixing, who was only six years old now, with a handful of hair shaved on his head, and looked very well-behaved: "Xiaolang, can you use a gun?" ”
Xiao Yang Zaixing shook his head and said, "No!" Daddy said that I won't teach marksmanship until I'm 12 years old! ”
"Good!" Huang Dalang praised, and reached out to touch Xiao Yang Zaixing's head, and said: "Since you can only learn guns at the age of twelve, why don't you follow me to learn Wen in the future?" ”
Xiao Yang was rexing, and after all, he was small, so he promised: "Okay! ”
Yang Huai on the side saw it and said busily: "How can this be made?" ”
Huang Dalang took Xiao Yang Zaixing's hand and said, "Make!" I fell in love with Brother Zongbao, and now I like Xiao Zaixing when I see him, so I want to recognize him as a younger brother, but Uncle Yang is reluctant? ”
Yang Huai listened to Huang Dalang's earnestness, but he also thought he was sincere, so he said: "It's not, it's just this matter of studying......
Huang Dalang naturally smiled and said, "It's okay, just leave it to me!" ”
Then Lu Er attracted six heroes to know Huang Dalang, including three from Yulongzhai, namely Chang Wu, Song Fu and Tang Wang, all of whom are good at sailing and fighting. There are three other people who met in Quanzhou this time, one is called Gong Laoqi, who is now in his early forties, originally a merchant, and later became a seaman, it is said that he once went to Dashi with Hu Shang's ship, but after returning to Quanzhou, he caused a lawsuit and was inadvertently rescued by Lu Er.
A person named Cao Cheng, when he was just established, was a salt merchant of the Quanzhou generation, and this time the snow salt brought by Lu Er was able to make a profit, and it all depended on him Zhang Luo.
This last person is very big, it is the original commander of the Quanzhou Naval Division, surnamed Gu Mingxiong Hengting, now seven out of thirty, born roughly, because he disobeyed the order of the superintendent, he was demoted to the dock barge as a pawn. After getting acquainted with Lu Er and others, he admired the actions of the Heavenly Dao Alliance very much, and after several temptations, Lu Er discussed with Sun Xin and set up a law to make him fake his death and get out.
Seeing that everyone had returned safely, and that he had gathered so many heroes, Huang Dalang was naturally happy, so he asked the accompanying Confucius to arrange the aftermath and led everyone back to the city. At this moment, I heard a burst of nonsense, and more than a dozen black or white Hu people came out of the shipyard, and there was a Hu man with a green cloth wrapped in his head and two mustaches to drive these black and white Hu people off the boat with a whip, Huang Dalang was happy to take a closer look, and then walked close and pointed to the black Hu Dao: "This is Kunlun Nu?" ”
The bearded man with the green cloth wrapped in his head hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and replied with a strange emphasis: "Your nobleman, it is Kunlun Nu!" ”
Huang Dalang pointed to those fair-skinned people with blond or brown hair and asked, "What about these people?" But the Hu people in the land west of the Western Regions? Are you French? Or the English? Or the Italians? ”
Although the nouns Huang Dalang said were a little weird, but there were still people who understood, a blonde white man looked at him for a while, and then pounced, pointing at Huang Dalang and chattering, Huang Dalang heard a familiar word, and suddenly recalled the language he had heard and even learned in his dreams, and asked: "Jerusalem?" ”
"Jerusalem!" In addition to the blonde white man, the other black and white people also understood the term pronounced by Huang Dalang, and their eyes widened in surprise, and they all returned and shouted.
