Chapter 215: On the Road
Lin Ruhai was talking to King Yan, and when he saw Jia Min coming out with his son in his arms, he stretched out his hand to take Lin Yao and hugged him for a while, and finally reluctantly handed Lin Yao into the hands of King Yan and said, "We are also about to set off, may the prince have a smooth journey"
"Don't worry, this king guarantees with his life, and I will never let Yu'er be wronged, and I wish you a smooth journey"
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min both just nodded silently, and then turned away. The husband and wife stood on the dock and watched King Yan's boat gradually disappear in the morning mist, Lin Ruhai grabbed Jia Min's waist and whispered, "Let's go on the road"
Jia Min stood there again and watched for a long time, until the mist on the water surface became lighter and lighter, Jia Min lowered his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Let's go"
Lin Ruhai helped Jia Min into the carriage, took Lin Lang, who was still asleep, from Lu's mother, and hugged Lin Lang into the carriage. After everyone got into the carriage behind them and sat down, the group of five carriages set off and left the dock in the morning light.
Lin Ruhai: Their real destination this time is Linjia Island, in order to hide people's eyes, they must first go to Putuo Mountain, and then take a boat from Putuo Mountain to Linjia Island.
Mount Putuo is said to be the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, on a small island not very far from the mainland, and there are many small islands near this small island. The rich and noble families here in the south of the Yangtze River like to go to Putuo Mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and there are even more exquisite people who donate a large amount of sesame oil money here to light the lantern for their deceased ancestors, so the incense of Putuo Mountain has always been very prosperous. In order to be able to smoothly avoid the eyes and ears and go to the sea to Linjia Island, the ancestors of the Lin family regarded Putuo Mountain as a transit place, and even put a piece of land next to the Puji Temple and built a courtyard. On the surface, it was to burn incense and pray for the ancestors, but in fact, it was directly taken overseas by boat from here.
To go to Putuo Mountain, you must first take a carriage to Ningbo, and then board the Lin family's merchant ship there, so that the merchant ship can send them to Putuo Mountain first. Ningbo is one of the three ports of maritime trade opened by the Ming Dynasty, from the time of the Emperor Shengzu, Ningbo has become the distribution center of goods from the south of the Yangtze River, there are not only many merchant ships of the Great Ming, but also many foreign merchant ships, among which the merchant ships of Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom are the most, and there are also a few merchant ships from the West to dock here to do business.
"Daddy, is Ningbo fun, is Putuo Mountain fun, is it more fun than Tianping Mountain" After waking up, Lin Lang ate some, and used the porridge that had been simmering on the small charcoal stove in the carriage, and began to sit still, and kept asking questions.
"It's not fun, you have to go to Lang'er to know in person, what Lang'er feels by herself is the most real, what my father is telling you here is just my father's views and feelings, everyone's views and feelings are different, after Lang'er went to see it, let's talk to each other about our feelings, okay?"
Lin Lang looked at Lin Ruhai and nodded ignorantly, he didn't understand what his father meant, but he understood that his father didn't tell him at this time, and let him see it himself, the little guy had a greater longing for Putuo Mountain, and curiously lifted the curtain of the car window to look at the scenery outside.
"Are all our Lin family's merchant ships going to sea from Ningbo?" Jia Min asked Lin Ruhai.
"I used to go through Quanzhou, but it takes too much manpower and material resources to transport goods from Quanzhou to this side, and the time is a lot more than going to Ningbo, so I just went to Ningbo. It just happened to be replaced by merchant ships running in the rivers from Ningbo, and the goods could be transported to Jinling and the capital directly by water. ”
"Is our family still running luck?"
"No, our family uses our own ship to transport our own goods, and I don't know too much about these, Uncle Yang has always taken care of them. Oh, Uncle Yang is also a servant of the Lin family, called Yang Kui, who used to be the head of the Lin family's sea boat. Uncle Yang has never married in his life, nor has any children of his own, but he has brought two good apprentices, one is called Yan Jing, who is now in charge of all the Lin family's sea ship business, and the other is called Peng Qingxiang, who is in charge of the caravan in the northwest of the Lin family. These two people are also servants of the Lin family, and their parents are people who have served their father and mother. ”
"This master and apprentice are in charge of most of the Lin family's business, it can be seen that this Uncle Yang is a person who is very good at doing business, not only is he very good, but he has also cultivated two powerful apprentices."
"Min'er is right, Uncle Yang can be said to be a great hero of our Lin family. What's even more valuable is that he has always refused to marry for the sake of the Lin family, and he really has no selfishness at all. ”
"Why don't you point him to a daughter-in-law?"
"Do you think you didn't point it out, my mother pointed it out to him when he was alive, but he himself didn't agree, and his father said that he didn't listen either, and then it was gone. Now that he is over the age of six, his body is healthy, but his knees are empty, and it is estimated that he will have to let his two apprentices send him to the end in the future."
"He's so old, why don't you let him retire?"
"In fact, he is no longer in charge of things, and the inland water transportation he used to manage is all run by his two stewards."
"Uncle Yang has such a talent, why don't you let him go to the Shifu School in Suzhou to be a master, so that he can cultivate more business talents for the Lin family."
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then said to Jia Min with a smile: "Min'er is really a person who wakes up in a dream, why didn't I think that those old but experienced talents of the Lin family can go to the World Servant Academy to be masters, so that the Lin family is not afraid of useless talents." Hahaha, what the emperor said is right, Min'er is indeed the lucky star of our Lin family, and she is a good wife for her husband."
"How can I be so good, just say it casually" Jia Min bowed his head shyly, revealing a touch of crimson behind his ears.
Lin Ruhai saw Jia Min's shy appearance like a little daughter, and his heart was agitated for a while), grabbed Jia Min's hand and kissed it lightly on his lips, causing Jia Min to roll his eyes, and Lin Ruhai smirked when he saw it.
"Daddy, what are you doing, is your mother's hand hurt" Lin Lang turned his head and saw his father holding his mother's hand and putting it to his lips, thinking that his mother's hand was injured, and his father was helping his mother's hand, "Mother's mother doesn't hurt, Lang'er will also give you a call" Lin Lang said and then blew on Jia Min's hand.
Jia Min's face turned even redder, like the most beautiful red glow, which stunned Lin Ruhai, who originally wanted to talk to his son. Jia Min pulled out his hand from Lin Ruhai's hand, and then said to Lin Lang, "Lang'er is really a good boy who is filial, my mother's hand doesn't hurt anymore, it's still Lang'er, you blow your mother's hand and you'll be fine immediately" The content of the chapter is trying to recover, please visit it later.
