The Pearl River, a wide river with rapid currents, is one of the seven major rivers, and the afterglow of the sunset in the west shines on the sparkling surface of the river, dyeing the whole river golden yellow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The river is full of large and small sails, and large and small boats full of goods shuttle back and forth, a busy scene. The 13 Lines are located on both sides of the Pearl River, which is also the distribution center of foreign goods in Guangdong. There is absolutely nothing you can't buy here.

Cargo ships with different flags are docked on both sides of the Pearl River to load and unload goods. An army of porters with thin yellow faces, coarse rags, and a long braid behind their heads can be seen everywhere here.

As long as you have the strength, you can eat here, and you can support your family if you are diligent. Although the porter does hard work, it is very hard, and he is often exposed to the wind and rain. But in these turbulent times, such a livelihood is undoubtedly the best guarantee.

The busy Shisanhang South Street is as lively as ever, and the not very wide street is almost occupied by porters who are busy moving goods.

The sun had completely set in the west, and the lights began to come on, both on the shore and on the river, all of which were illuminated by oil lamps. The porters only need to work harder to have a meal, and then they can use the hard-earned money earned today to meet a few good brothers to have fun.

The job of a porter relies on strength, so ninety percent of the people engaged in this industry are young or middle-aged. Their group of people either can't afford to marry a wife or can't afford to support a family, so they are all commonly known as 'single dogs'.

I get up early every day and work hard at night, in order to make some money, so that after I leave work, I go to the brothel of the Qinglou to have a good time. So these porters who worked hard to make money, but were drunk and obsessed with money every night, got another title of 'Sunshine Clan'.

The money they make today will definitely not be kept until the next day, and even some people will start to pay credit as soon as they become frequent visitors to the Qinglou and get acquainted with the bustard, there are really a lot of such people.

Just as these porters were working hard, there was a small commotion at the entrance of Nanjie, and an arrogant voice could be vaguely heard yelling: "Young Master Ye is eighteen years old today, as long as he comes forward to say blessings, he will have money to take, remember, the better he says, the more rewarded!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire South Street fell silent almost instantly, and all the porters stood on the spot with a blank face, looking at the street in a daze, a line of brightly dressed Tsing Yi small hat Fuding at the entrance of the street.

Especially the young man who led the leader, wearing a Hanfu on his body, but wearing a nondescript Western hat on his head. And what is even more eye-catching is the long black hair that is casually draped over the shoulders.

In these thirteen lines, except for foreigners, no one dares not to wear a braid, and it is obvious that this very 'avant-garde' teenager is such a person.

In fact, as long as you get close to the boy, you can see that there is still a small braid behind the long black flowing hair, but the braid is so small that if you don't pay attention to it, it will be easily ignored.

The young man's two sword eyebrows were furrowed at this moment, his face was slightly angry, he squinted at a middle-aged man dressed as a master beside him, and snorted coldly: "Why, why are they all standing stupidly, don't they come to send blessings to my Ye Shaolong's eighteen-year-old birthday?" Or have these porters reached the point where they treat money like dung? ”

Master Ye is also puzzled at the moment, it stands to reason that as long as he calls Young Master Ye, those porters will flock to him. After all, Young Master Ye's name is unknown here, but the reaction of those porters is indeed a bit abnormal.

The master was about to shout again to try, don't be no one heard it just now, but at this moment, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "It's Ye Shaolong, it's Young Master Ye who is here!" ”

This roar was worth the shouts of the ten masters, Ye Shaolong's eyes immediately lit up, and he began to look around for the source of the sound.

I saw a man who was absolutely two meters tall, with a bare head, and the muscles on his body were as strong as stones. His absolute height, as well as his loud voice comparable to the Shaolin lion's roar, has undoubtedly become a figure who stands out from the crowd among many porters. The big man kept shouting, and at the same time, he rushed towards Ye Shaolong at a fast speed.

Ye Shaolong noticed this person for the first time, and when he saw his big body, he moved as fast as a cloud, and he was obviously still a practitioner.

As soon as he came up with the intention of soliciting, Ye Shaolong actually became a vegetative person when he was eight years old because of an accidental injury. Now he is just a poor boy who only knows how to live in envy and fantasy all day long, he not only envies the wealth of others, but also envies the rich second generation who were born with a golden soup spoon.

In his previous life, he had cancer but was so poor that he couldn't afford to see a doctor, and he lived a life that was worse than death every day, and the torture of illness and psychological imbalance led him to finally choose suicide to end his tortuous career at the age of 30.

After his death, he found that the thief God had given him a chance to start over, and his soul passed through the home of an ordinary maritime merchant in the late Qing Dynasty. I thought that there should be a good life in a merchant's family, but I never thought that God would give him a big joke again.

The Ye family, who was barely surviving, burned everything down because of a fire, and as a result, Ye Shaolong, who had just crossed over, became a poor child who was hungry again.

The double blow of the previous life and this life almost made Ye Shaolong have the idea of suicide again, but fortunately, at the last moment, he didn't want to lose this rare opportunity to start over. Decided to be a master and become an out-and-out loser, after some careful investigation, he helped his father Ye to become a well-known maritime merchant in Guangzhou from a small street vendor.

With this, Ye Shaolong also got his wish and became one of the top losers in Guangzhou City, but he soon found that if he wanted to become a great loser, he could do it not only if he had money.

In this turbulent era, it is not enough to have money, you must also have power and power, otherwise if you accidentally offend someone from an official family, the huge family property will disappear in an instant.

For this reason, he kept blowing the wind in his father's ears and encouraged him to go to Beijing to buy a big official. Ye Shoufu has always put all his hopes on this only son, and he also feels reasonable. With spending millions of taels of silver, he asked someone to buy the official position of this great general.

Although the official position that was bought sounds quite bluffing, it is actually just a title, and there is almost no real power. But there are still a lot of benefits, at least now here in Guangzhou City, their Ye family is not just a person from any official family who dares to make up their minds.
