Gao Daqiu carefully picked out a few more bags for Zhao Dashan to open and inspect, and the other two officials stood in the cabin door and outside the cabin door, staring closely at the every move of the leader of the officials.

The three large ships searched carefully, and there was a delay of about an hour. In front of the other two officials, Zhao Dashan handed over another sachet: "Be careful, not respectful, invite a few brothers to drink tea." The next time you pass by Guibaodi, you must visit a few brothers in person. ”

Gao Daqiu pinched the purse in his hand in front of his brothers: "We are also acting in public service, and we have offended a lot." As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Zhao Dashan and walked towards the pedal with two of his subordinates.

When getting on the pedal, Gao Daqiu leans sideways to let the two men go first. He stood aside, glanced at Zhao Dashan, nodded slightly, smiled meaningfully, and turned to leave.

Zhao Dashan looked at the figure of Gao Daqiu, pursed the corners of his mouth, and remained motionless.

The boat began to sail, Zhao Dashan stood at the stern, and Gao Daqiu stood at the bow, the two looked at each other in pairs, each speechless.

"Master, did that official see something?" Sun Zheng walked over and also looked in the direction of the patrol boat, which was no longer visible.

"Well, it's not easy to walk this road in the future. Letting us go this time is Gao Daqiu leaving a way back for himself. If we toss and turn in this river again and again, we will not give him the face that he asks for highly. Zhao Dashan said in a deep voice.

"That'...... This line? Sun Zheng looked at Zhao Dashan and asked hesitantly.

"Go back and let the third brother run away, and the third brother will take over the goods store in Tongzhou in the future, and we will change directions."

"Okay, I'll go to the third uncle when I get to Dongyang County." Sun Zheng took a step back and let Zhao Dashan go first.

"Don't say too much, just tell him that the goods store in Tongzhou is almost over, let him send someone to take over, and he will take care of the follow-up, let's rest for two days and look in another direction." After Zhao Dashan finished speaking, he strode towards the cabin, outsiders came to the ship, Huang Dou and Xia He both entered the inner cabin, and only Xiaoqiu was sitting and playing at the door of the cabin.

Along the way, the boat arrived safely in Dongyang County.

The boat lined up to enter the port, Zhao Dashan first asked Kang Ping to find a carriage to send Huang Dou, Xia He and Xiaoqiu home, and Sun Wu's daughter-in-law and Ma Wen's daughter-in-law stayed to help with the handle.

As soon as he entered the house, Sun Wu's father and mother saw Xia He hugging and crying again.

Huang Dou only felt that after a few days on the boat, his body was sore. Sun Wuniang looked at the soybeans who were standing aside and waiting, and also restrained her crying, and hurriedly went to boil water to bathe the soybeans.

After taking a bath, the soybeans sat and drank a bowl of red bean soup, and Xia He stood behind her lightly to wipe her hair. If she wanted to dry it but didn't do it, Huang Dou motioned to her not to do it: "You also go down to wash and rest for a while." I'll go to sleep after I'm done with the soup, and you don't have to worry about it here. ”

Xia He agreed, let go of Soybean's hair, and let them scatter on Soybean's shoulders at will. After retreating to the door, Xia He did not leave, but stood quietly outside and waited.

has come back, and there must be rules in the future, the lord is merciful, and he doesn't let himself kick his nose in the face. This was said by my father, and Xia He, who had been strictly disciplined by his previous master, naturally knew what to do.

After drinking the soup, the soybeans touched their hair, which was almost dry, and got up and walked to the inner room. Xia He walked over, silently packed up the dishes and chopsticks and retired for the afternoon.

After sleeping well, Huang Dou got up, only felt refreshed, pulled his hair into a bun at will, and went to Huang Tao's house with a beaded flower obliquely. She hasn't been at home for almost three months, and I don't know if her eldest nephew Zhang Yiming can still remember her third aunt.

Zhang Yiming's name was taken by Zhang Xiaohu, and he thought about his son's name for two or three months, but Huang Dou and Huang Delei took turns to help but he vetoed it. Finally, I accidentally heard a customer in the store say the words "If you don't make a hit, it's already a blockbuster", so I decided on the name of my eldest son.

However, because it is necessary to rank the generation, it can only start according to the son's order of "righteousness", which can be regarded as homophony. Zhang Xiaohu is actually not called Zhang Xiaohu, but Zhang Shicheng. It's just that everyone is used to calling him Zhang Xiaohu.

Zhang Yiming's milk name is Tiger Boy, and it was also given by Zhang Xiaohu, he is a tiger, isn't his son a Tiger Boy. Later, it was Huang Dou who said that he would simply call it a boy. The tiger boy screams, which always means to commit his father's name, and it is easy to be criticized for studying and studying in the future.

As long as he is good to his son, Zhang Xiaohu has no opinion, and agrees with his son's milk name Zaizai. For him, isn't Tsai a tiger boy?

Zhang Huzai really didn't know the third aunt anymore, and when he saw Huang Dou reaching out to hug him, he hid.

After playing for an afternoon, the little tiger boy was finally willing to let the soybean hug him, and smiled at the soybean's happy eyebrows.

"Since you like children so much, give birth to one of your own. You're seventeen years old, and you're not too young. Huang Tao watched the child carefully on the side, and whispered slowly to the soybeans.

"In another year or two, I think it's better to be older." Huang Dou hugged the little tiger boy and began to raise it high, and he laughed so much that he drooled.

"You, even if you have the right idea, you don't want to think about how big the mountains are, I heard that Huang Xiaoyu is pregnant."

The two sisters were teasing the children and talking together, and there was a joy in the air for a reunion after a long absence.

At the wharf of Dongyang County, the Ark was still queuing, and a team of inspectors came over. The leader walked directly to the Ark, and Zhao Dashan hurriedly walked over, ready to get off the boat.

"Don't come down, don't you have a house in the outer city? The ship turned around and could go into the outer city to unload. The dock is crowded, so there's no need to be stuck here. Saying that, the leader didn't look at Zhao Dashan, and then walked to the side and called another owner who also had a house in the outer city, so that he could go back and go directly to the outer city river to unload the goods.

There is an uproar around the cargo ships, if you can directly enter the outer city river to unload, as long as they don't have a lot of goods, you don't need to store the warehouse at all, not to mention saving a lot of money, it will be much more convenient in the future.

The biggest advantage is that you don't have to queue at the dock, usually it's okay, when the dock is busy, it is not uncommon to queue for a week or two before it is the turn to unload.

However, it is not a matter of a day or two to build a staircase down from the high embankment in the outer city.

The owner of the out-of-town house, who had only one cargo ship, shook his head and refused the kindness of the inspection. Thinking of the grassy embankment behind his yard, he would have lined up here honestly.

Zhao Dashan did not hesitate to order the three boats to turn around and go all the way to the outer city.

The embankment behind his yard has already been cleared, and in order to facilitate Sun Wu's daughter-in-law and Ma Wen's daughter-in-law to grow vegetables on both sides, his family also used bluestone to build a wide staircase down.

The steps that were originally pointed out by the neighbors who were wasting money and manpower can now be used as a dock.

When I arrived at the outer river, parked in the river in my backyard, there was already a carriage of the Ark Freight Company pulling raw silk and waiting in line.

After the three ships of raw silk were transported, it was already the afternoon of the second day. The meal was prepared by Sun Wu's daughter-in-law and Ma Wen's daughter-in-law, and everyone took turns to go back and eat a bite every day.

Zhao Dashan didn't go home at night, and stayed on the boat with Sun Wu and a few people all night. It's already at the doorstep, and there is no room for a mistake.

All the raw silk was taken away, and the shelves on the ship to protect the raw silk from being squeezed were also dismantled, piled up in two separate piles, and gathered together.

A brick-burning kiln outside Dongyang County brought three mule carts and prepared to haul the shelves away in batches.

This is not a rare thing, there are often discarded shelves on the wharf, which can be used and used, and if they can't be used, they will be dragged over by the kiln to burn the fire.

The surrounding residents were still curious yesterday, when the Ark first entered the river, and today even the children have lost interest. There is a lot of water and a lot of boats in Dongyang County, and there is nothing to see in the big boats.

The dismantled shelves were transported before dusk, and the guys who helped with the handling carried two or three of them and easily delivered them to the car. This pile is the outer shelves in the warehouse, and the wooden sticks painted with black paint look no different from the shelves in the warehouse.

In order not to delay Zhao Dashan's affairs, the owner of the kiln repeatedly instructed that it must be shipped today. The mule carts of the folk kiln simply took advantage of the night to move all the shelves away.

The night had just begun to fill, and the men were still sent to the car in two or three, but they walked much more steadily, and they were no longer as relaxed as before.

Watching the last shelf being carried onto the car and towed away, Zhao Dashan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. And Mr. An Kang, who was standing at the window of the restaurant in the distance and staring at the river in the backyard of Zhao Dashan's house, also put down the teacup he was holding tightly in his hand and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.

The great cause of King Cheng is about to kick off.

Huang Dou didn't know about this matter, they went to Tongzhou to buy raw silk this time, and more than two months were not delayed because of the purchase of raw silk. It is the shelves of this batch of pig iron smelting and casting that is the real purpose of Zhao Dashan's trip to Tongzhou.

The outer shelves are made of real wood, while the inner shelves are pig iron. It's also painted black, and you can't see it just by looking at the appearance.

Zhao Dashan watched the cart of the kiln staggering away, and he stood at the bow of the boat for a long time without moving. There are thousands of thoughts in my heart, there is a faint excitement, and there is also a slight worry.

Succeed or lose, until the last step, no one knows whether it is right or wrong. And he has no choice but to be a businessman hidden behind. If he succeeds, he is a businessman, and if he is not successful, he is still a businessman, but it is just a size.

This is the agreement he reached with his staff member Wen Kang, he doesn't want high-ranking officials, as long as his family is safe. This is also the real reason why Wenkang dared to put his eldest grandson next to Zhao Dashan, everyone has to leave a way back for themselves.

Pushing open the door, Soybeans were already asleep. Under the oil lamp, Zhao Dashan sat on the edge of the bed, touched the hair of soybeans scattered on the bed, and whispered: "I only want to keep you safe in this world." “

Xu is Zhao Dashan's voice woke up Huang Dou, Xu is night wind was too strong to disturb her dream, Huang Dou woke up in a daze, and looked at Zhao Dashan: "Are you back?" ”

"Well, I'm back." Zhao Dashan smiled and lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Sleep, I'll accompany you." ”

"Hmm." Soybean shifted his body and went inside, making room for it.

"Dashan, are you hiding something from me?" Huang Dou turned over and looked at Zhao Dashan, who was sleeping outside.

"Nope. What's wrong, aren't you sleepy? Zhao Dashan looked at the soybeans with burning eyes.

The night breeze blew, beating against the window lattice, making a crackling sound.

The spring night is short, and the night is still very long.
