Chapter 65: Departure
The autumn is high and cool, the north wind is gradually rising, and Shen Xiangyun finally came with the news that the monsoon is coming, and you can go south by boat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There was also Ling Fei's summons, they had caught a leader of the White Lotus Sect at the dock at the mouth of the sea, and they happened to go over to find out some news.
The day of departure has finally come, this time Shen Yue plans to bring Pinglan and Pingyuan over together, not only because it is safer to have Zhao Meng and others sent by Mu Ying to escort them, but also because he wants them to see the world and exercise, if they cross and leave, the business will be supported by them, travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books, and break out on their own, no one can take care of them for a lifetime.
The Wang family is really reluctant in her heart, but she also understands Shen Yue's good intentions, she has not been in good health, and she can't go over together this time, so she has to hold the two children tightly for a long time and refuse to let go.
Pinglan was afraid that her mother would be sad, so she explained with a smile: "Don't worry, A-Niang, with Brother Shen here, it will be fine." Most of the people who went south this time were on the boat, I didn't have to walk, and I couldn't get tired, my father taught me not to let me shave my eyebrows, and my daughter also wanted to help Brother Shen a little, so I couldn't let him work alone. You help me take good care of the children in the academy at home, tell them not to waste their homework, and when the goods are sold, we will ride on fast horses, and no one cares, and run back to see you as soon as we smoke the smoke, okay?"
Wang smiled tearfully, lowered his head and stroked her hair, and said angrily: "Silly child, I still care a lot about being a yellow-haired girl, A-Niang is just reluctant to ...... you."
Shen Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the so-called parents are here, not far away, not to mention that the Wang family now only has this son and daughter as companions, this long-term departure is too cruel for her, but in order to let them make a living independently in the future, she has to be ruthless.
Outside the ancestral hall, Gao Sheng, Wang Fatzi and a group of accompanying men stood respectfully on both sides, and Lai Youwei and a group of brothers were loading goods not far away.
Shen Yue walked into the ancestral hall, stood in front of the tablet of Pingshuwen, incense, kowtowed, worshiped Ruyi, this father protected his children with his life, and handed over the holy fire order to himself before he died, he had already taken over the responsibility of taking care of their mother and daughter, the sea was stormy and the waves were high, life and death were uncertain, I hope he has a spirit in the sky, and bless the safety of this trip.
Standing up, Wang took a bowl of wine, and Pinglan, Pingyuan and other subordinates in the ancestral hall also knelt down one after another. Wang raised the wine above his head and said: "Yue'er, may you go south this time, solve the danger of the family, stabilize the foundation of the Shen family, and your husband will definitely bless you with success and return triumphantly!"
Shen Yue knelt down on his knees, took the wine bowl and drank it all, although it was a lie that he was a descendant of the Shen family, but it was also an alliance with Shen Wansan to support each other in this troubled world.
And the group walked out of the city gates. The county commander Ouyang Chen waited on the side of the road with a group of people,
Shen Yue hurriedly dismounted and bowed,
"Your Excellency is polite, I will go to the mountains and rivers for a long time, and the people of the business will have you to help take care of it."
"Where is this, the old man is the parent official here, and he should take care of them, the big husband looks up to the world, and he goes to have a lot of adventures while he is young, if the old man is not entangled in official affairs, he also wants to gallop with you on the ocean. When you kid arrives in the southern fireworks land, don't linger, Miss Lan'er has to keep an eye on him, and the old man is still waiting for him to come back and farm. Ouyang Chen quipped.
"Brother Shen is not that kind of person." Pinglan pouted and said angrily, afraid that Ouyang Chen, an old and unserious teacher, would teach Shen Yue badly, so in the laughter of everyone, he took Shen Yue's arm and walked away.
The merchants waiting outside the city gate have long been impatient, and hundreds of carts and horses are gathered and ready to go, whether it is the man who is holding the goods, the groom, or the shopkeeper of the team leader, all of them are full of energy, with the pride of breaking through the world, looking at Shen Yue.
"Let's go!"
Shen Yue shouted a high-pitched order, and the dense and neat caravan was launched, heading towards the neighboring Luan County.
After noon, the caravan rushed to the wharf by the river outside Luan County, and Shen Xiangyun had been waiting for a long time with his men and sailors, and they came forward to greet him, so that the toiling people would go to rest first, and they would load the goods onto the ship.
"This is the Hong boss of the Shen family's fleet, and he has led the family to run the sea for many years." Shen Xiangyun led a swarthy man to introduce Shen Yue.
This man is extremely strong, even on land, he still wears barefoot, half-rolled trouser legs, showing tight muscles, and has a square face, like a reliable person, but his rough face has some wrinkles, thick eyebrows and wrinkles, as if there is something difficult.
"Little owner, you can be counted as here, Miss said that you are brave and strategic, you must help us this time." Boss Hong waited for Shen Xiangyun to finish speaking, and knelt down in front of Shen Yue with a plop.
His sudden move made Shen Yue a little surprised, turned his head to look at Shen Xiangyun, saw that she was embarrassed, and stopped talking, so he hurriedly pulled aside and asked in a low voice,
"What's going on?"
Shen Xiangyun bit her rosy lips with silver teeth, and hesitated for a long time before she whispered,
"Originally, you were able to give the auspicious thing to the Shen family, and the friendship between us has been settled, and I don't want to trouble you anymore, so I didn't say much to you. Although the crisis of officialdom has been solved, there are still some business opponents who refuse to give up, I originally wanted to prepare more big ships to help you sell goods to the south, but unfortunately on the way they colluded with the bandits robbed, lost most of the ships, thanks to Boss Hong's rich experience, with a clipper to save some sailors back, otherwise they would all be buried at the bottom of the sea. ”
As soon as Shen Yue heard this, he was on fire, if it was legitimate business competition, what kind of ability was it to bully the lonely old and widowed, not to mention that he was pointing to the south this time to earn enough money, since they had bullied their heads, they should settle the accounts with them, and they would have to go to sea for their future development, so it was better to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson, and let them see who is the leader of the sea.
"This is what you see, since I have joined the Shen family, I will naturally be with you through thick and thin, your business is my business, don't support yourself alone in the future, since they dare to come this time, we have to give them a headache, let them pay for their blood debts, otherwise we are used to bullying, how can we still gain a foothold."
"Your business is my business", Shen Xiangyun thought silently, feeling some long-lost warmth in her heart. It's nice to have such a brother.
Since taking charge of the family, he has been busy dealing with the oppression of officialdom, and has endured those opponents who are secretly coveted many times, but when they saw that their girls' family and no one in the clan helped them to come out, they had to make some inches, and now Shen Yue not only helped relieve the crisis in the officialdom, but also stepped forward to help him share the pressure, and the figure of this young man has become tall and majestic in her heart.
Shen Yue walked up to Boss Hong, helped him up, and said firmly,
"I am duty-bound on this matter, I will definitely give an explanation to the brothers, you let them eat and drink enough first, and repair here for two days, I am also ready to prepare, they should come again on the way south, and when the time comes, we will let them come back and forth, avenge the brothers, and play the prestige of the Shen family."
