Tianjin Port City

Xiao Lanhuan is looking at the port traffic records in recent days, Xiao Zhi is standing on the side like a great enemy, since he came to this Tianjin Port, Xiao Zhi, the romantic figure in the capital back then, has suffered a serious blow, and he has long since lost his spirit, standing in front of Xiao Lanhuan, who is becoming more and more majestic, he doesn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, lest he say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing and be cleaned up.

"Hmm." Xiao Lanwei finished reading it, "It's quite clear." Xiao Zhichang breathed a sigh of relief. It's just ......" before the breath was finished, he held it again. "This word is too ugly, right?,You're also from the imperial study.,Which one of you taught you is not a well-read Confucian family.,All kinds of calligraphy have strengths.,Why didn't you learn half of it!" Xiao Lan said with hatred that iron does not become steel.

Xiao Zhi sneered, "Isn't this the same as before, but now that I'm sensible, I will definitely develop in an all-round way under your wise leadership, Lord Wang, and succeed in becoming a talent, that is, you have to give me time." "A bunch of whiskers slapped horses and threw them on Xiao Lanwei without money.

Xiao Lanwei didn't eat this, and stood up, "Come on, you guys do it well, I don't have time to fool around with you, I'll go to the dock for a turn, and then I have to go back to buy capers for my child, my mother said, the child wants to eat the pickled capers in the alley in the north of the city." The tone was indescribably ostentatious and proud. Everyone was embarrassed for a while, it was the princess who wanted to eat it, the prince didn't show her pregnancy yet, what could she want to eat! But no one dared to say this in front of Xiao Lanhuan, since the princess was pregnant, the prince would mention it every day, and everyone just had to listen.

Xiao Lanhuan didn't bring many people, but walked to the dock with Chang Lin and the others. The wharf was full of people, ships coming and going, people loading and unloading goods, merchants and stewards running before and after, various officials and soldiers who were already on duty, so it looked like a prosperous group.

Xiao Lanwei walked in front with his hands behind his back, Chang Lin followed closely behind, and he was not conspicuous among the people who came and went on this dock. "Chang Lin, now it's a bit like when we used to go through the rivers and lakes together. In the huge crowd, there are only two of us, and the others are all seeking their own livelihood and doing their own things! ”

Xiao Lanwei sighed. One of the reasons why he used to like to travel north and south is to enjoy this kind of freedom that no one cares about every move, no one stares at you all the time, and interprets your words and deeds infinitely.

Chang Lin disagreed, "Where is there anything the same or different, it depends on what you think, Lord Wang." If you feel lonely, even if you are in a noisy city and surrounded by a sea of people, you will still feel lonely; If you feel that the prince is complete, then even if there is no one around you, there will be no regrets. Just like this situation, in the past, the prince was happy and just wanted to continue to travel the rivers and lakes; Right now? The attraction of this pier to the prince is not as strong as that of capers! Lord Wang, you are like an arrow! ”

Xiao Lanhuan turned around and looked at Chang Lin with a smile, "Okay, I didn't expect that even you would make fun of this prince." ”

Chang Lin smiled, "It's easy to say and say, it's all taught by the prince!" ”

Xiao Lanwei smiled and shook her head, "Let's go, go to the front and have a look!" After reading it, go back and buy capers! There was excitement in his tone that couldn't be hidden.

The two walked again, and at this moment, a man carrying a bag fell and fell in front of Xiao Lanhuan, splashing ashes on the ground, and pounced on Xiao Lanhuan, a steward wearing a short beat hurriedly came over when he saw this, nodded and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this nobleman, it's our fault, the small one will pat you clean, pat it clean." Then he reached out with his hands and feet to pat off the dust on the corner of Xiao Lanwei's clothes.

Xiao Lanwei waved her hand, "Okay, you don't have to be like this, you guys can be busy yourself." Then he avoided the steward and took Chang Lin to prepare to go forward. As he walked, he heard the scolding voice of the steward behind him, "I don't have long eyes, that noble man is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and your whole family can't afford to lose it if you sell it!" Hurry up, and take a good look at the back. Remember, move well, hurry up, don't be lazy! ”

The man got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and nodded his head. He tugged at the sack with the goods, trying to carry it. It's a pity that he only lifted the sack two or three points.

Seeing this, the steward glared and said, "What's the matter! I just fell, and you're pretending to be with me?! It's all here, what kind of lord are you pretending! Get up! “

The man propped his hands on his knees, and beads of sweat on his forehead continued to drip down. He looked up at the steward, and begged for mercy in a thick voice: "Steward, I'm not lazy. It's just a momentary violent. You let me slow down...... Slow ......"

The steward pouted and said, "If you don't have that blessed life, don't commit that hypocritical disease!" Xu is saw that the man's face was indeed pale, and after such a while, his face was wet with sweat, although the steward was unforgiving, but he didn't do anything else, "It's all five big men and three coarse men, don't be like a woman, and get dizzy, don't be ashamed!" ”

Seeing that the steward did not mean to be harsh, the man slowly sat down on the ground, picked up the short beat on his body, and wiped the sweat from his face indiscriminately. A middle-aged man who was also transporting goods passed by, and gave the man a water bladder and said, "Drink some water, it's not a big deal." It's just too tired. ”

The man took the water bladder and poured a few sips. The water had a faint salty taste, and I wondered what had been added to it. The middle-aged man unloaded the goods on his shoulders, wiped his sweat, and said, "Steward, it's not that we don't want to do it." Who wouldn't want to do more money in this work? But the iron beaters can't stand such a day and night work! ”

Xiao Lanwei didn't care at first, but when he heard the conversation behind him, his eyebrows did jump, he turned his head and saw the steward glancing left and right, and slapped the middle-aged man on the back, "Shut up, don't talk if you don't know the rules!" It's just that you don't have to pay for it! The loading and unloading of freight is arranged from above, and the above things are also what you can shout about? Shut up and get to work! ”

After speaking, the steward saw that Xiao Lanhuan was still staring at this side, and immediately smiled, "Master, do you still have something?" ”

Xiao Lanhuan's face was as usual, and she shook her head, "It's okay." He turned his head and left. Until he walked out of the dock, Xiao Lanhuan didn't say a word, but Chang Lin could obviously feel that Xiao Lanhuan seemed to have something on his mind.

Walking out of the dock, there were already attendants waiting there, Xiao Lanhuan and Chang Lin took the reins, turned over and got on the horses together, and sat on the horse, Xiao Lanhuan looked at the dock in full swing not far away, where there were boundless business opportunities, and endless Yu Wang. After looking at it for a while, Xiao Lanwei rode away, "Let's go, let's go buy capers for the princess first." ”

When Xiao Lanwei returned home with a jar of sour beans that she had bought, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mu Qingling dressed in regular clothes, leaning on the collapse, and reading a book in her hand, "What are you looking at, I'll take a look!" Xiao Lanyu said as he stuffed the jar to Yunqiao, who was serving on the side, and then leaned his head over and leaned on Mu Qingling's shoulder to look at it.

Mu Qingling saw that Xiao Lanwei was back, and replied, "I'm reading Tao Zhugong's codex, since I have decided to do something, I have to do it well." I'm grinding qiang on the verge of battle, and I asked them to look for a long time and find this codex, and I'm going to learn it. ”

Xiao Lanwei smiled and touched Mu Qingling's head, "My lady is very smart, and she will definitely be able to learn it as soon as she learns." ”

Mu Qingling smiled and said: "Where is it so easy, if it is so easy, wouldn't it be Tao Zhu Gong everywhere?" I also read this codex, only to know that there are so many ways to do business, in the past, it was said that businessmen are humble, but think about it, even if businessmen are low, they can still gather wealth in the world, which shows that it is not easy. Since I decided to help Tianjin women learn the skills of weaving, I can't take care of the head and tail, don't help them find a good sales place, how can I open the situation, I can't always rely on me to post money, I can also paste a number. Anyway, now the weaving side of Hangzhou is set, and now the craftsmen, looms, drawings and other things are already on the way, I take advantage of the free time, learn more! ”

"Madame is smart, that's recognized by Elder Jiang! For the husband, he can wait to eat the soft rice of his wife. Xiao Lanwei said with a smile, not in shape. Mu Qingling raised her hand to hit him, but at this time, Yunqiao came in with a plate of sour beans, "Miss, come and taste the sour beans you have in mind." ”

Since Mu Qingling became pregnant, her taste has changed greatly, especially her love of sourness, she couldn't help but sit up when she smelled the smell, and her saliva kept secreting in her mouth.

After the cloud bridge was put away, Mu Qingling immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and the first time she entered, Mu Qingling's eyes narrowed with enjoyment, as if the dragon liver and phoenix marrow were not as good as the ordinary stack of beans in front of her.

He'd tasted it once before, and his teeth were almost sore. As a result, he couldn't eat for three days.

It's Yunqiao, looking at Mu Qingling happily, "Miss loves sour so much, they all say that sour and spicy girls will be born in the future!" ”

Xiao Lanwei was not happy when she heard this, "Yunqiao, you can't say this, if this is a little county lord, she thinks we don't like her when she hears it, she should be unhappy." Whether it is a small prince or a small county lord, it is always the treasure of this king and your young lady, and you can't suffer a little grievance. ”

Xiao Lanwei said this, Mu Qingling was happy to hear it, the world always values sons and daughters, but giving birth to boys and daughters is neither something that the mother can decide, nor can the child choose, but some people always push the unsatisfactory on the woman, as if being born a woman is a mistake. The respect of Prince Xiao Lanhuan, it is really not easy to think about this.

Mu Qingling was happy in her heart, smiled and killed a chopstick of capers, and stretched out her hand to feed Xiao Lanhuan, "The child said that Daddy was right, and he wanted to reward Daddy with a mouthful of capers." ”

Xiao Lanwei's face froze, but her own lady fed it with her own hands, not to mention capers, arsenic had to be eaten, and then she ate it as if she was heroic and righteous, and the entrance was really familiar.

After taking a bite, Xiao Lanling was afraid that Mu Qingling would have to feed it again, so he hurriedly talked about what happened on the dock just now, in order to distract Mu Qingling, he knew that Mu Qingling had always cared about things on the port, not to mention that this matter did arouse his suspicions.

Mu Qingling listened, and was really distracted, let alone feed Xiao Lanhuan for a while, she didn't even eat much, I saw her frowning and asked, "I remember that the port is blocked at night now, right?" After all, the wharf at night is too dark, which is easy to cause accidents, and is not conducive to the inventory of the city, and it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. Maybe it's just the nonsense that the folk man said? ”

Xiao Lanwei shook her head, "I don't know, I have to watch again, maybe I just heard it wrong, or maybe those people took on other jobs in order to make more money, and they finished working at the dock during the day and doing it elsewhere at night." In a word, you can't take it seriously. ”

Mu Qingling was worried, "I hope so." Otherwise, it means that there are ships that take advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak into the port at night, and after loading and unloading the goods, they secretly leave the port before dawn, so as to avoid the city. This is not a trivial matter, Tianjin Port has only opened a port now, and if such a thing happens now, it will be quite unfavorable to the later arrangements. ”

Xiao Lanwei saw Mu Qingling's brows furrowed, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to soothe it, "Don't worry about it, what is the truth, I'll take Chang Lin to the dock secretly tonight." ”

Mu Qingling was a little worried, "Just the two of you?" Wouldn't it be dangerous, otherwise bring more people! ”

Xiao Lanwei shook her head, "I know in my heart, I'm just going to take a look tonight, it's inconvenient to act if there are too many people." You rest early in the evening, don't wait for me! ”
