Chapter 451: The ship sank

Xue Wei felt that Huangfu Xue was worried that he was better than her and stole her limelight, and the sea was calm today, what could happen, she was just making a fuss, and wanted him to not be able to do this business. Xue Wei thought about the reason, and felt more and more that it was possible, "Second sister, the boat has already opened, don't worry, if something happens, I will be responsible for it." ”

Looking at the ships that were gradually moving away, Huangfu Xue sighed weakly, "The matter has come to this, I wish my eldest brother-in-law Jiren his own natural appearance." "Turn and leave. Xue Wei looked at her back with a smug expression. Who knew that the weather was good, but the sky changed in the afternoon, and it was stormy for a while, Xue Wei couldn't sit still in the house, thinking of the two ships of goods, worried.

In the past, a boat, equipped with these little guys, might be able to withstand this wind and rain, but this time, in order to save money, he compressed half of the people, and the two boats were still tied together, if something happened, he was afraid that it would be too late to cry. "Come on, where are all the people dead, come in with Young Master Ben."

"Young master......" The little guy pushed the door in, and Xue Wei stepped forward and kicked him, "Go outside and inquire about the situation at sea, and report anything to Young Master Ben as soon as possible." The little guy left, Xue Wei came to the window, time passed little by little, in the evening, the rain did not weaken, but became heavier and heavier, Xue Wei's face could no longer find words to describe it.

"Oh no, young master, it's not good, something happened, our ship...... Flipped...... Xue Wei only felt that it was dark in front of him, subconsciously held on to the window edge, and slowly raised his head, "What did you say?" Flipped? The little guy nodded tremblingly, "Yes, it's overturned, now there are a lot of people on the dock, and most of the people on the boat haven't come back......"

Xue Wei walked out, his mind buzzing, he didn't know what to do next, and at the same time he was angry that he didn't listen to Huangfu Xue in the first place. Huangfu Xue lived in the inn, and this would also hear the news of the sinking of the ship, and told the magpie to come over with the cloak and get up to go over, the magpie was worried, "Miss, it's raining outside, let's talk about anything later." ”

"No, my brother-in-law's ship has sunk, not to mention the cargo on the ship, if the little guy on the ship misses the best rescue time, I'm afraid something will happen." Although this incident was a natural disaster, if something happened to those crew members, the loss of the brother-in-law would be even greater. Even if Huangfu Xue doesn't think about Xue Wei, she has to think about Huang Fuyue, so she can't stand by this time no matter what.

"Miss...... You have already persuaded the eldest aunt this morning, it is he who insists on going his own way, what to do with the young lady, so many people looked at it at that time, even if the young lady did not pass, no one would say anything. "The magpie still doesn't want Huangfu Xue to pass. Huangfu Xue came to the door, "I went over, not because people are terrible, but because I have a clear conscience." ”

The rain was falling tirelessly outside, and cold winds were blowing from time to time. Huangfu Xue sat in the carriage, thinking about the situation at the dock, and her heart was anxious. "Hurry, hurry." The heaviest rain since the beginning of spring came without warning and caught off guard. It had been raining for most of the day, and the road to the beach was very difficult to walk, with potholes, and the usual road for half an hour had to be walked for an hour and a half. By the time we arrived, it was completely dark.

There were quite a few people around the dock, crying, arguing, chattering. Huangfu Xue got out of the carriage and found Xue Wei, seeing that his face was unusually ugly, he secretly screamed, "Brother-in-law, what's the situation, can those crew members be found?" ”

"More than half of it is gone...... Xue Wei's voice was full of weakness, everyone told him before that doing shipping business is very profitable, but there are also risks, he didn't understand at the time, but now he finally understands, but the price is too big, so big that she doesn't want to face this reality at all.

"Second sister, why did you come here after such a heavy rain?" Xue Wei looked at the endless sea, his mood fell to the bottom, the goods of the two ships, all the net worth, more than a dozen crew members died, and he had to pay a large amount of resettlement money This time, he lost all his money and had to take all his net worth. Turning her head to look at Huang Fuxue, it was clear that she was standing aside expressionlessly, Xue Wei always felt that she was laughing at him, laughing at his incompetence and self-righteousness.

The next morning, the sky finally cleared, and the sun came out, sweeping away yesterday's haze, illuminating the entire dock, and making everyone's mood much better. Xue Wei sat at the table with a pen and quickly calculated the loss this time. If the cargo does not arrive on time, it will have to pay a liquidated damages, plus the money for the goods, as well as the resettlement fee for the crew's family, which is scattered and ...... That's a staggering number.

"Brother-in-law, this is Mr. Gao, he has been doing shipping business all the year round, he has a lot of experience, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him, this time the matter is in the past, just buy a lesson, and earn it back next time." Huangfu Xue was kind and thought about how to remedy the loss last time, but Xue Wei thought that she was gloating and deliberately embarrassing him, and he was angry.

"Thank you for the kindness of the second sister, forget it today, I still have a lot of things to do today. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will personally visit Mr. Gao's house, what does Mr. Gao think? ”

Mr. Gao glanced at Huang Fuxue and nodded, Huang Fuxue didn't care that day, she just wanted Xue Wei not to be so reckless next time, after all, not every time someone wiped her ass. Huangfu Xue followed Mr. Gao back to the capital, and in the evening, An Mingchen came back, heard about yesterday's incident, and stepped forward to hug her distressedly, "What are you planning on your brother-in-law's matter, it doesn't sound like a small amount, are you going to help?" ”

"I made a rough estimate, with the eldest sister's family background, although she can survive this time, she is also all the belongings. Although I persuaded at the time, my eldest brother-in-law didn't listen, and I couldn't really sit idly by, so I still had to come out with some. Huang Fuxue thought about it for an afternoon and decided to give five thousand taels. An Mingchen felt that it was a bit much, he was not reluctant to make money, but felt that she had made this start, so that after Xue Wei and the others thought that they had a backer, they still didn't think about regretting it next time, wouldn't Huangfu Xue become a big wrongdoer?

It's okay to help people, but you also have to have a degree, An Mingchen pulled her to sit down, "I heard the magpie say that you didn't have a good rest last night, do you want to take a break, I'll call you when we have dinner." Huangfu Xue shook her head, "No need, I can't sleep, the eldest sister doesn't know about this matter yet, I want to solve this matter before he knows." ”

"Lady, you can think about others, but can you think for yourself before that. Think about our children. An Mingchen leaned closer, "Lady, your face is not very good, I will feel distressed if you are like this." ”

"Do you feel sorry for me or for the child in my belly?" Huangfu Xue knew what he meant, and deliberately hypocritical. An Mingchen thought she was angry, and hurriedly explained, "Lady, in my heart, the most important thing is naturally you." Well, if you don't want to go to rest, you won't rest. I can agree to what you said before, but you must lower the amount of this silver coin. You know Xue Wei's temperament, if you are entangled by him, it will not be good for any of us. ”

"Got it." Huang Fuxue felt that it made sense, and on the second day, he asked the magpie to send two thousand taels to Xue Wei, Xue Wei was unhappy, and felt that Huangfu Xue gave less, so he still accepted it. The magpie came back and said angrily about Xue Wei's attitude at that time, "Miss, the slave has never seen such a shameless person, the young lady paid for the sake of the eldest lady, but the eldest aunt took it for granted, and even felt that it was less." He was really embarrassed, if he hadn't insisted on going his own way at the time, would he have made such a fuss? The young lady is kind, and she is willing to pay for it and become a slave and maid, and the misfortune is all good. ”

"Alright. This matter is over. Huangfu Xue was faintly glad in her heart that she listened to Xianggong yesterday, otherwise, she would definitely be as angry as a magpie now, she is not a saint, and her silver money is not blown by the wind, she gave two thousand taels for no reason, Xue Wei still dislikes it, who gave him face?

Yesterday's incident was very noisy, the ninth master got the news in the morning, the ninth master called a few of his subordinates to lock them in the room and talked for a long time, around noon, sent someone to send a letter to Xue Wei, Xue Wei was uneasy, and changed his face directly after reading the content of the letter. He still wanted to turn over next time, but the Ninth Master wanted to drive him away, no, he couldn't just leave. He was going to explain to the Ninth Master that this time it was really an accident.

Xue Wei came to the Ninth Master's Mansion, but the Ninth Master refused to see him. Xue Wei was helpless, and went back to Huangfu Xue to plead, "Second sister, don't you have a good relationship with the ninth master?" You help me plead, I just touched a little doorway, he can't just kick me out, I just lost so much yesterday, if I don't do it, I ...... I'm not reconciled. ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, tell me what's going on." Huangfu Xue asked the magpie to pour tea, while she stood aside and listened. "The Ninth Master knew about yesterday's incident, and felt that I was reckless and not suitable for shipping, and he had unilaterally terminated the agreement with me."

Huang Fuxue was not surprised, on the contrary, she understood very well that if his partner had happened yesterday, for the sake of safety and for her own interests, she would have made such a decision as soon as possible, but seeing Xue Wei like this, Huang Fuxue was embarrassed to tell the truth, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, you go back to the inn first, I want to think about what to do next." But brother-in-law, don't get your hopes up, Jiu Ye has always been the same, and once she makes a decision, she won't change it easily. ”

"Second sister, you are the most capable person in this family, as long as you are willing to help, you will definitely be able to do this, second sister, brother-in-law will rely on you this time, if you lose this money-making business, your eldest sister and I will not even be able to afford to eat for a long time......" Xue Wei said exaggeratedly, but most of it was true. Huangfu Xue was a little embarrassed, but nodded after a while. "I see, you can go back first."

Xue Wei was worried that there would be an accident on the other side of the dock, so he didn't care about going to the southern courtyard to greet Huangfu Yue, so he hurried to the dock, Huangfu Xue worked alone in the study for a long time, and when it was close to evening, he asked the little maid to send a letter to the ninth master.
