Three boatloads full of seafood were unloaded and piled on the dock, and the people of the Cao Gang came over and asked, "When will these goods be delivered?" It's too much of a space. ”

Chang Sheng hurriedly smiled and said: "We belong to the Huo family in Hangzhou, and we have already hired a car, at most we will load it and transport it away tomorrow." ”

The people of the Cao Gang snorted and said, "There have been many ships and goods coming and going in the past two days, so you should hurry up and get the freight away." ”

Chang Sheng hurriedly took out a red seal from his arms and stuffed it into the man's hand, the man pinched it, turned around and left.

Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Huo San shouting at him: "What are you doing here?" Why didn't you arrange your car in advance? ”

Chang Sheng felt aggrieved, from Hangzhou to Dinghai, from Dinghai to Ningbo, along the way, you either supported me to do this, or supported me to do that, but did not let me arrange the carriage and horse to transport goods, you are the master, I am for you.

If it was Huo Wu or Huo Shiyi who was with him, Chang Sheng would not have taken it seriously, but the one in front of him was Huo San, Huo Zixing's eldest son, the one who established the top door, Chang Sheng would not dare to make a mistake no matter what.

He had no choice but to say: "The third master is right, it's a small negligence, it's better for the third master to go to the inn to live first, and the little one will arrange the carriage and horses." ”

Huo San didn't want to stand here for a long time, there was a fishy smell everywhere, and he wanted to hurry up and take a bath and change his clothes.

Huo San went to the inn and didn't mention it, but Chang Sheng became an ant on a hot pot in a hurry.

The people of the Cao Gang are not wrong, at this time it is the busy time of the wharf, but the grain ship of Ningbo Wei has arrived, although the salary is not much, but the fierce gods of the soldiers, how dare the wharf on the wharf be lazy, and they are unwilling to unload grain for Ningbo Wei, and the mule carts that were originally waiting to pull the live are all called to transport military rations.

Chang Sheng searched for most of the day, and finally found five mule cars, but three ships of seafood, at least a dozen cars, how can five cars be enough?

In April, Chang Sheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, so he had to hire two old and frail old men to watch the goods with him on the dock in shifts, and the next morning, before dawn, he went out to look for the car again.

Huo San didn't worry about such a trivial matter, with eight hundred taels of silver tickets in his arms, he got on the flower boat that night.

The flower boats in Ningbo are different from other places, there are no elegant things such as qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the boats are hung with fishing nets, and the female dancers are barefoot, the cuffs are rolled up high, revealing the jade arms like tender lotus roots, and they are also singing small tunes such as fishing boats singing at night.

Huo San had heard of the benefits of Ningbo Flower Boat when he was in Hangzhou, and when he saw that Chang Sheng did not come back, he simply left the inn and went to Flower Boat.

"Fifth master, the one who laughed with the female trick on the bow of the boat is Huo San in the Huo family's room, and Huo Jiu's brother across the room."

On a flower boat not far away, Lang Qing pointed to the opposite side and said.

Zhan Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his bony fingers, and poked the little yellow dog who was bowing his head and gnawing on chicken legs: "Hey, the people in your family are not staying in Hangzhou, what are you all doing in Ningbo?" ”

The little yellow dog gave him a disdainful look and continued to deal with the big chicken leg.

Zhanhuai felt very bored, and said to Lang Qing: "You will go to the dock in a while to see what those things in Ningbo Wei are." ”

Lang Qing nodded yes, glanced at Hua Siniang on the side, said a few words to the boatman, got on a small sampan, and soon disappeared into the night.

At this time, on the opposite flower boat, Huo San didn't know what to say, the female actor laughed and trembled, and got into his arms, but Huo San tore off the thin shirt on the female dancer's body, and looked at it from a distance, the snow-white skin was like a layer of mercury in the moonlight.

Zhanhuai looked at it and frowned, and said to Hua Siniang: "My father asked me to go to Jiangnan to have a look, saying that there are the most literati and scholars here, but you see, Huo San's style is no different from the bastards in the market, and the soldiers and ruffians in the barracks have not taken off women's clothes in public." ”

Hua Siniang said: "Fifth master, this Huo family is a merchant, what rules can the merchant have, there is wind here, you can sit in the cabin." ”

When she said this, she couldn't help but look at Huo San's boat, her eyes flashed, and she saw that just opposite Huo San's boat, there were two small boats speeding over.

There are all flower boats here, either quietly parked in one place, or slowly fluttering, so these two small boats sailed fast, and Hua Siniang immediately attracted attention.

"Fifth master, look at those two boats."

Zhan Huai had already seen it, he looked intently, and saw the two small boats brushing Huo San's hull and stopping.

I saw a middle-aged man standing on the bow of one of the boats, and he picked up a huge conch and blew it.

After three blows, suddenly the same conch sound was blown all around, and these sounds were loud or low, coming from all directions, and the tunes and laughter that had been heard from time to time just now were all gone, only the sound of a tight spiral horn.

"Fifth Master, something is wrong, you go to the cabin." Hua Siniang hurriedly said.

Zhan Huai snorted, this time he didn't object, turned around and entered the cabin.

And on the shore, Huo Roufeng, who was about to get on the boat, also stopped, she arrived in Ningbo in the evening, and heard that Huo San got on the flower boat, so she also ran over, wanting to see and understand, Zhang Shengping They couldn't stop it, and thought that the ninth master was a brother, and there was nothing to see, at most, not to let those female tricks get close.

So the three of them were left in the inn, Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling accompanied Huo Roufeng to the flower boat, but before they got on the boat, they heard the sound of conch on the water.

Huo Roufeng was curious, so she asked the turtle slave who was soliciting business: "What kind of sound is this?" ”

The turtle slave was a little absent-minded, but he still admitted: "The master is from out of town, I don't know, this is someone from the Taiping Society." ”

The Peace?

This is the second time Huo Roufeng has heard this name, she glanced at Zhang Shengping, who was also puzzled, and raised her legs to get on the boat.

Zhang Shengping was about to open his mouth to block it, when he saw a mother dressed as a fisherwoman, but with several gilded hairpins on her head, trotting over, and the laughter came first: "Ouch, hey, these masters, the slave family has been thinking about it day and night and finally looking forward to you, but unfortunately, the slave family is not doing business today, why don't you come over tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Shengping's heart was slightly relieved, and he was about to agree, but Huo Roufeng asked: "Why don't you do business, do you just don't do my business, or don't you do anyone's business?" ”

Mom is well-informed, and as soon as she saw the two people standing next to Huo Roufeng, she guessed that the little master from who she didn't know was coming out to play, and immediately put away the smile on her face and replaced it with a look of grievance.

"Master's bearing, at first glance, it is not our Ningbo local, no wonder I don't know, alas, don't hide it from the master, you heard the horn just now, this is the Taiping Order, today is not just the slave here, look at these ships, every household is the same, Master, take a look, that family is sending guests, tsk."

Huo Roufeng looked at her white fat fingers, and sure enough, she saw that people were getting off the boat, and the turtle slaves made amends one after another.
