Chapter 234: Good Life Treats the King [1]
Ships come and go in the river, end to end, or the slender man pulls, or the boatman rocks, some are full of goods, upstream, some are berthed, and they are nervously unloading.
Standing on the bridge across the river, Xiao Tuo and Xiao Ning had no intention of enjoying the busy scene of the wharf.
In his heart, he complained to his daughter-in-law Shui Furong for giving the silver she had received to Hei Wuchang.
On the wharf, there are just a few ships moored in the harbor to load and unload goods in turn, a ship near the wharf is unloading, the dock workers are shouting trumpets, carrying the sacks off the ship, and someone in the hold is turning over the warehouse and loading the goods......
Water Hibiscus lay on the side of the delicately carved wood railing, and was calmed by the magnificent momentum in front of her.
Longfeng Town is densely populated and has unlimited business opportunities, and the Xiao family will really not lack silver in the future!
"This is the most lively place in Longfeng Town! Second brother, the people working here are very hard, you know most of them, right? ”
Xiao Tuo pulled his lips, and tapped his five fingers lightly on his daughter-in-law's shoulder, "Yes, the men who beg for a life at the dock are mostly carrying goods day and night, sometimes, the cargo ship from afar arrives at the port in the middle of the night, we have to move all night, and we can call it a day at dawn to rest for a while, and then the next ship is coming again, most of us are still confused, hehe......"
Speaking of the bitter days of working at the dock in the past, Xiao Tuo sighed helplessly.
"Second brother, you are really working too hard, don't worry, in the future, let's work together as a family, I will never let the men of the Xiao family work so hard again!"
"Fleur ......"
Xiao Ning saw that her daughter-in-law's two little hands were clinging to her second brother's clothes, and her little face was so cute, and she was jealous in her heart.
"The third brother has also worked hard." Shui Furong reached out and grabbed Xiao Ning's hand and said with a smile.
"We are men, we were born to earn money to support our families! Let's go, let's go back to the shop, we've been tossing outside for so long, Xiao Rongrong, you're tired too, right? Otherwise, the second brother will carry you back, okay? ”
Xiao Ning glanced at the pedestrians on the bridge without a trace, and said with a faint smile: "Second brother, there are so many people, pay attention to behavior." ”
"Alas! All right! The two of them will go back to the shop first, and maybe lunch will be ready now. ”
Xiao Tuo was about to throw his daughter-in-law's small body on his back, but the little woman also smiled and waved her hand, giggling and running under the bridge.
The two brothers' gloomy mood suddenly brightened, and they ran down the wooden bridge.
The three of them ran off the bridge and shuttled through the traffic on the street, bustling, popular, vendors lost no time in occupying the road to operate, some set up stalls, some sold food, and there was a stall selling knives, scissors, oxtail locks and other small hardware, and there was a one-eyed feng shui master who wore a black cloth to cover his entire eye with his right eye, holding a vermilion flag, and was telling fortunes to people. Such a scene extends all the way to Qiaotou to form a characteristic business area.
The three of them returned to the shop, but there was a god in the shop: the prince of leisure.
"Lord Wang? You...... How, when did you come to Longfeng Town? ”
"Hahaha...... Water shopkeeper? The prince shook a folding fan and leaned against the stairs to maintain a pretending posture.
I heard that this is the shop of the Xiao family, and I have already put the shop upstairs and downstairs, and the front and back shops have all looked around, just waiting for the water shopkeeper in the young man's mouth to go out and come back.
Shui Furong held a silk handkerchief in her hand, smiled charmingly and affectionately, approached, bowed respectfully, and said: "The prince smiled, our Xiao family just wants to eat in this small place!" Where can you compare to the prince, there is not only the old prince, the current emperor's blessing, but also the old father-in-law of the richest man in the Jin Dynasty! ”
