Cheng Rui was very unhappy.

In just a few days, he was robbed of 2,000 taels, and then lost 500 taels inexplicably, and the case has not progressed for a long time, and even the people sent by the old man can't find out the ugly man, and Cheng Rui is even more depressed.

One word: decay!

He didn't know why he was so unlucky!

And at this point in time, all the people in the Cheng Mansion around him were swearing to say "evil star", and after hearing it a lot, he actually began to panic a little, as if it was ...... Truly! His bad luck started when he took the Liao family home?

After there was one more pimple in his heart, Cheng Rui even lightened his enthusiasm for the Liao family and Jin Yu in the past.

Cheng Ming saw that he was miserable, so he took this brother to either watch a play or drink every day.

After playing for five days in a row, he returned drunk every night, but no one in the house blamed Cheng Ming, but even Hongyu showed a gratitude to him.

He simply found someone to give the little uncle a "care fee" of 500 taels of silver, and Cheng Ming understood it, so he accepted it generously.

Half a month passed, Cheng Rui was drunk during the day and drank at night, not only did he not even have the opportunity to go up the mountain to visit Liao's, but he didn't even have time to think of Liao's ......

And even though Chen Jinyu has returned to Cheng's mansion, she still can't even take Cheng Rui's face, let alone rescue and visit her mother......

In this way, the Liao family can only continue the dark days in the nunnery, beating the chest and feet, and every once in a while facing the red jade who went up the mountain to "enter the incense" and the He family, and looked at the man and daughter to rescue her.

In just a few days, the harsh sun and heavy labor made her boil into a withering flower......

And Cheng Ziyu had already arrived at Zhenjiang Wharf.

She had plenty of time, and on the second day after successfully dealing with the Liao family, they went straight to their destination non-stop.

So, she arrived at the designated pier a day and a half early.

Sure enough, the Gao family, who thought that it was not easy for Cheng Ziyu to catch up with the goods, did not expect her to come so early. The Gaojia ship, which was budgeting carefully and wanted to save a few nights' docking fees, had not yet departed from Yangzhou Wharf at that time.

Cheng Ziyu had never been on a large cargo ship, so she took people to walk around the dock first.

After the trip, she almost had a general understanding of the load and layout of the large and medium-sized ships. Here, she also met several acquaintances and merchants, and quickly got close to the officials of the wharf yamen.

Many businessmen became interested in her cargo students and followed her to Cheng's warehouse at Zhenjiang Wharf. is also very interested in and praised the batch of red glaze that she brought to Shu on this trip......

A large port like Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, due to the large number of ships entering and exiting, and the large number of loading and unloading goods, there is generally a special wharf yamen.

This kind of yamen includes inspections, weights, registration, taxation and other duties, Cheng Ziyu has already done enough homework before coming, knowing that various necessities such as salt, tea, wine, and mines are subject to routine inspection and tax payment according to the rules.

The Cheng family is a heavy tax-paying household in the entire Jiangnan region, and as soon as she arrived, almost several leaders of the wharf yamen came to greet her. And she was not stingy, and instructed Fu Bo to directly send a silver ticket of two hundred taels to the yamen of the wharf and invite them to drink tea.

As a result, she got almost the greatest convenience of the entire dock.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Gao family's ship, which had received the news that Cheng Ziyu and others were at the wharf last night, was also sent to Zhenjiang wharf.

The yamen of the wharf specially cleaned up Cheng Ziyu, allocated a position in the center of the most spacious wharf in the whole long wharf, and waited for the docking of the Gao family's boat, and an official surnamed Yan of the yamen was responsible for "serving" Cheng Ziyu.

After receiving Cheng Ziyu's ten taels of silver tea money, Lord Yan smiled and Zhang Luo's subordinates brought chairs and tea to greet Cheng Ziyu and his party.

The Gao family boat arrived soon.

There are two boats in one big and one middle school.

It's coming in the distance.

Both boats had flags on the bow and stern, and a huge "high" word was written on the bow. On the stern of the ship is written "salt".

It's no wonder that the Gao family's boat can get into Cheng Hao's eyes, and it is always taken out to say.

The big ship in front of it is nearly 20 zhang long, with a square head and a square tail, slightly gorgeous. There are two layers in the bow and three in the stern, and the middle part is multi-masted and multi-sail. Although the floor level is not large, it is exquisite. In particular, on the third floor of the stern, a small observation deck was built. It's magnificent.

And Cheng Ziyu started to ask questions with an unknown face from last night, and Lord Yan enthusiastically explained to her.

"The one who came to welcome Siniang is called a sand boat. The sand boat has a shallow draft, can sit on the beach, and is not afraid of running aground; High mast, high sails, low resistance, high speed, good seaworthiness and large load capacity......"

"Speaking of load, I just want to ask, do you see that this ship is going to be loaded with salt and my tank, how much can this load be? I heard that some gorges are stormy, and I have brought so many things and so many people, but don't go wrong......"

Seeing that Cheng Ziyu was interested, Lord Yan was even more happy to introduce it.

"Siniang is worried! In the shape of the Gaojia ship, it can hold at least five or six thousand stone goods. As far as I know, the amount of salt primer in the Gao family's hand is not large, and it can only barely be regarded as a medium quantity among ordinary salt merchants.

So in my humble opinion, don't talk about this little thing, even if the Gao family doubles the weight, it should be no big deal! The Gao family can be regarded as having made a fortune, and they have begun to use the money of the big salt merchants to sell salt, which is enough and easy to make a reputation......

Siniang took their boat to the west, which was spacious, comfortable, and safe, which was a wise choice! ”

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but make a mistake when she heard this.

Tsk, this is a boat that only big salt merchants can afford, so stylish, who would have thought that there would be a cat in it! And the ship is so big, it is impossible to see at a glance, and it is also a tank and salt, piled up on top of each other, who can calculate the real amount of salt......

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Ziyu threw out several questions one after another.

Lord Na Yan replied for a while, only to feel that this Miss Cheng Si was really as described in the rumors, she was a boudoir woman who was only bored and made pottery, and she still had a short time of knowledge! ……

The ship is getting closer and closer, and the Gao family is really Gao Xi with the boat this time.

At this moment, the bow of the big ship, the robe is rolling in the wind, and the merry man is standing with a smile on his face, but it is not Gao Xi.

The guy hugged his fists from afar, and Cheng Ziyu bowed deeply.

Cheng Ziyu only replied with a faint and almost distant smile, which was regarded as a hello.

As soon as the ship docked, Gao Xi personally brought people to greet Cheng Ziyu and his party.

The housekeeper of the Gao family came up to contact the tax officer, and Cheng Ziyu watched the steward stuff his hand into his chest and began to pull it out...... In her experience, this should be digging out the money and planning to leave the shore quickly.

So, Cheng Ziyu sent a sentence out lightly.

"Lord Yan, after the cargo ship docks, do you have to inspect it first?"
