Chapter 115: Fire
Gu Xi is not what he used to be, although he still has no official position, his identity as the eldest son of the British princess is undoubted.
After all, after Marquis Ning Yuan's life experience was revealed, the confidant steward of the British Duke came to the door with several large carts of gifts.
When he saw that Gu Xi didn't say a word, he knelt down and kowtowed, calling Uncle in his mouth.
As a result, there was a faint rumor in the city of Guangzhou, and the British Duke took pity on the eldest son who was left behind, and was eager to compensate Gu Xi, and had already intended to ask Gu Xi to be the prince.
Gu Jiayao didn't know where the wind came from, and when it reached her ears, the dignitaries in the city, and the people in the market were already clear, even more clear than her family.
"Why don't you accept it?"
Jiang not only accepted a few carts of gifts, but even accepted a voucher to go to sea!
Gu Jiayao was beside her to fan her mother, "It was sent by Marquis Ning Yuan?" β
"Hmm." Jiang's brows stretched, staring at the certificate of going to sea to award the reward, and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid that Ning Yuanhou heard that your father has a noble character and no dust under his eyes, and he doesn't like yellow and white things the most, so he deliberately avoided your father and quietly sent it to me. β
"Mother, we also have this habit there."
Gu Jiayao rolled her eyes, although their family has always been the Jiang family's idea, and they have a cover outside the house, but when it comes to major matters, when is it not the father who is in charge?
Jiang Shi is no longer jealous and has seen the biography of so-and-so.
"So Ning Yuanhou has a good calculation, if I accept the certificate on the road, I will inevitably be disgusted by your father, if I don't accept it, tsk, outsiders will also know that he is kind enough to compensate your father."
Gu Jiayao clenched her little fists: "You can't think of Ning Yuanhou too badly, of course, you can't think of him too well, I don't mind holding the wrong thing, he's just a normal person." β
"Instead, maybe he really calculated it, but it's a pity, I'm in the interests of your father, those false names, Qing Gao, where can I catch up with the silver?"
The soul in Jiang's body is a retired aunt with a lot of experience, so naturally she can't learn the thing that a young woman shouts about being unfair and not eating a grain of rice from the British government.
And because she is not the original owner, she and Gu Xi will never push the benefits outward, regardless of whether they have a problem with each other.
As long as Ning Yuanhou dares to send it, she dares to take it.
"It's a good day today, you accompany me to the harbor, and I'll see if there are any ships for sale."
ββ¦β¦ Mother. β
"Don't you know that the king of ships has built a few more sea ships, saying that there is a not too big sea ship that was rebuilt in our broken ship, and he sent someone to send a message yesterday that he can sell it to us cheaper, and only charge the cost."
Although Jiang is not a greedy person, she has no intention of missing the good things of pie in the sky.
"The king of the ship is also looking at the face of the British public."
"Yes, I have to say, just so far away, the sign of the British Gong is as easy to use. Since it is a British male species, there is no need to be polite. β
Jiang Shi beckoned his entourage to set up a car and took Gu Yao to the port to see the sea boat.
No ships have returned today, but there are quite a few ships that are about to leave for the distance.
Miss Zhao was ashamed at home because she was rescued by an ugly man after falling into the water, so the person who came to the harbor was Zhao Gongzi.
Gu Jiayao watched a sacrificial activity to worship the sea god before going to sea.
Whether it is to give Miss Zhao face, or to fear His Royal Highness King Rui, no one talks about Miss Zhao.
Gu Jiayao heard that although Miss Zhao was hiding her shame at home, she still remotely commanded everything in the trading house, and it was up to Miss Zhao to decide what goods to load on the ship.
"Miss Zhao is a good businessman, and this time there is a full load, and the items that were burned to worship the sea god were made by Miss Zhao herself."
"So the Zhao family's ship has never had an accident, and it has been smooth every time."
Words of envy and jealousy are endless.
Gu Jiayao said in her heart, sure enough, it is Miss Zhao from an extraordinary background, look at other people's golden fingers?
She accompanied Jiang to board the newly built sea vessel, with more than a dozen potential buyers by her side.
After all, the king of ships is famous, and anyone who wants to go to sea will come to him to buy a boat.
And he can only barely build two or three boats a year that can go to sea.
The buyers surrounded the ship king, and Gu Jiayao suddenly felt that shipbuilding was actually quite profitable.
It's a pity - she won't.
In the past, when I wrote, I could explain the past in one sentence. If you are careful about the plot, she will ask Du Niang, copy and paste.
So Gu Jiayao had no golden finger, so she could only buy sea ships instead of shipbuilding.
When the book is used, Gu Jiayao didn't care about this sentence before.
Because she lived in that era, there were mobile phones and networks, and she didn't know how to do it.
It's easy and convenient!
Gu Jiayao looked up at the sky, feeling a little sentimental for some reason.
Suddenly, the boat shook violently, rising and falling with the waves.
She hurriedly grabbed the fence, "Mother." β
Oh no, she's still a little seasick, the waves are getting bigger, and the boat is moving hard.
The king of the ship was so anxious that his forehead sweated, but he still calmly comforted the buyers, "It's okay, it's okay, I've built a sturdy ship, this place is not far from the port, and I have ordered someone to return to the port." β
"It's all because you are talking too much, you have to let the sea ship sail, you see that you are in trouble."
"Didn't everyone agree? Without looking at the quality, who would dare to spend a lot of money to buy a sea vessel? β
"It's just that suddenly the wind and waves are a little stronger, and you all don't say a word. The king of the ship has a good reputation, and can he still build a broken ship? β
Gu Jiayao stood on the second floor and exclaimed, "Look, did that ship crash into us?" It was as if the ship was still on fire, and the stern was smokingβ"
"It's the ship of the Zhao family firm that went to sea, and I remember that the ship was loaded with a lot of tung oil."
"Turn away."
Buyers panicked, and the burning vessel got closer.
There was no way they could change direction, and the waves were pushing the ship in its direction.
"Hurry up and release the boat! Put the boat. β
The boat king shouted loudly, and his entourage hurriedly put the boat on the sea, and more than a dozen people crowded towards the boat.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Jiang Shi dragged Gu Jiayao with one hand and pushed the crowded crowd with the other, "Let the old man and the girl go first!" Don't you know? β
At this time, wherever the modern civilization is, they are in a hurry to flee for their lives, and there will be no humility at all.
Fortunately, Jiang's strength was great, and he was stunned to pull Gu Jiayao to kill a way, Jiang just jumped on the boat, the sea boat suddenly shook, and with a loud bang, the Zhao family's ship that caught fire crashed into the sea ship, and in an instant, the fire was flourishing, and the two ships were swept away.
Thanks to a rope connected to the boat, the boat was not allowed to drift away.
"Yaoyao, come here." Jiang Shi dragged Gu Jiayao, "Hurry." β
"Mother, my leg is stuck and I can't move."
When the two boats collided and vibrate, Gu Jiayao's feet were stuck in the gap, and she couldn't pull them out even harder, and the heat wave of the fire hit her cheeks, and time was running out.
