Chapter 420: A Storm at Sea
"Mother, should I call Aunt Cheng Mei Cheng in the letter? Do I only write words of thanks to her? ”
Xiao Fuyuan asked, holding a pen.
"It's to call Auntie." Zhen touched Xiao Fuyuan's head and said very gently, "You can write whatever you want to her." ”
Xiao Fuyuan thought about it and put pen to paper on the letterhead.
First of all, I thanked Aunt Cheng for the gift, she liked it very much.
Then she told Cheng Mei seriously that her favorite was the music box and the porcelain doll.
In the end, Aunt Cheng was told to eat more vegetables on time, and wished her a safe journey.
Xiao Fuyuan carefully wrote his name at the end of the letter, thought about it and put a picture of winter snow and red plums in the envelope.
Cheng Mei gave her so many gifts, she had to give back.
As the richest businessman in the world, Cheng Mei has no shortage of good things, so let's give her a painting drawn by herself.
Here, Tian Maimiao also wrote a thoughtful letter to Bai Sanzhuang, sealed it, and handed it to Zhen.
Zhen handed the three letters to the white plank, who handed them to the merchants.
"Is the merchant's cargo ship convenient? Can't just bring a letter, the New Year Festival is almost coming to bring some family goods to Sanzhuang, he always has to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the ship. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Bai was thinking in her heart that she would fry his favorite green vegetable balls, braised pork ribs, and roast chicken for her third grandson......
"Grandma, the third brother's place is very hot now, and the food will be bad all the way to it." Xiao Fuyuan reminded Mrs. Bai crisply.
Old Lady Bai patted her head and said with a smile: "I just want to bring some New Year's goods to the third child, but I forgot that Nanyang is different from ours, saying that there is no winter and no snow." ”
Finally, after thinking about it, I asked the merchants to bring the sun-dried peanuts and corn produced in the field, the fried melon seeds and soybeans, and two jars of wine to the merchants.
On the night of the letter being sent, Bai Sanzhuang and his party encountered the biggest wave of storm.
The storm and rain are urgent, and the typhoon is sparkling.
The whole sea was dark, stormy, and choppy.
It was the first time Bai Sanzhuang had encountered such a terrifying scene, praying that nothing would happen in the midst of the mountain and tsunami.
The boat was thrown away, and several times Bai Sanzhuang thought that the ship was going to crack and he was going to be thrown into the sea.
The sailors were very calm at first, it was normal for them to drift on the sea and encounter storms.
Almost every one of them has experienced nine deaths and a lifetime.
But in the middle of the night, the storm was getting stronger, and the sailors were not calm.
Cheng Mei's merchant ship in front was also thrown around, and Bai Sanzhuang couldn't see the specific situation of the ship clearly, so he could only use the lightning to try to find Cheng Mei's ship.
The wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger, and Bai Sanzhuang is really worried about falling into the sea.
"My sister said I would be safe."
"My sister said I would go well."
"My sister said I could make a lot of money this time."
Bai Sanzhuang hid in the cabin in extreme fear, and his mouth was full of words.
While reciting silently, he clutched the "Third Brother Ping'an" written by his sister to his chest.
I tossed it like this for almost a night.
When Bai Sanzhuang thought that the storm, thunder and lightning rainstorm would never end, God suddenly called Jin to withdraw his troops.
Then the thunder and lightning disappeared, the storm subsided, and soon the whole sea was quiet, and a golden glimmer appeared where the sea and sky met.
It's like the night's rough seas never appeared.
And their merchant ship had slipped into a quiet harbor.
"It's finally over." The sailors gasped loudly.
After a night of twists and turns, everyone was exhausted.
Bai Sanzhuang sat down in the cabin, clutched the calligraphy on his chest, and took a hard breath.
The storm is finally over!
Bai Sanzhuang looked at the calm sea and felt like he had escaped death.
"Go and see the situation of the third brother of the Bai family?"
After experiencing the storm at night, Cheng Mei's expression was slightly tired, but he was still very calm.
Although it was not as strong as last night's storm, she could still withstand it after experiencing sea storms every time.
is worried that Xiao Fuyuan's third brother will suffer.
After Steward Yan got on Bai Sanzhuang's boat, he came back and told Cheng Mei that Bai Sanzhuang was in good shape, and Cheng Mei breathed a long sigh of relief.
"How many were the crew sailor guys wounded?" Cheng Mei asked.
"Except for the two sailors' arms, there were no other injuries, and even if there were, it was a small skin injury." Steward Yan replied.
"How's the goods?" Cheng Mei's heart was half relieved, and he asked again.
She was ready to get the cargo wet.
If so, this trip will be half the water.
"Back to the big boss, except for the wet outer layer of the goods, the inside is fine. Even if it's wet outside, it's good, just bask in the sun. ”
Steward Yan was overjoyed, he really didn't expect the storm in the night to be so big, and the goods were so good.
What is it called?
It's called lucky!
"The big boss, since we hit the boat with Sanzhuang, we have good luck along the way."
When they encountered pirates first, before everyone could react, the pirates on Bai Sanzhuang's ship actually solved themselves and fell into the sea like strings of grasshoppers.
Then came this storm, and it was safely passed.
No one was seriously injured, the goods were intact, this is not called luck, what is this called?
"Big boss, after you went to the capital, I heard people in Yangfeng County say that whoever touches our little lady is blessed, and we are blessed through the third brother of the Bai family?" Steward Yan said cautiously.
Cheng Mei looked pensive and didn't say a word.
She believed it in her heart.
The girl she gave birth to by herself is really unusual.
She came back from the dead, opened up a maritime trade route, and became the world's first female businesswoman.
Could it be that these are all blessings for her daughter?
"Luzhu, will she like the treasures we brought to Xiao Yuanbao last time?" Entering the cabin, Cheng Mei suddenly asked the maid Lu Zhu beside him.
Lu Zhu didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is said that mother and daughter are connected, and she will definitely like it when she sees the gifts you carefully selected for her." ”
Mother and daughter are connected.
Cheng Mei's heart jumped.
Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know if I will cause her any trouble like this, I haven't thought about recognizing her, I just want to care for her as a strange elder." ”
Luzhu knew what happened to the big boss, and his heart flashed sadness, and he was afraid of touching the sadness of the big boss, so he said happily: "Look at what you said, the little lady is blessed with a great life, how can your care bring her trouble, it is a good thing that many people love her." ”
"Really?" Cheng Mei's brows stretched slightly, and her forbearance and caution did not have the demeanor of the world's No. 1 businesswoman.
"Of course it's true."
Luzhu remembered that some time ago, Cheng Mei looted all the valuable things on the ship in order to ask a familiar merchant to bring gifts to the little lady.
As for those rare big eastern pearls, she was reluctant to give them to the old lady who had forgotten the New Year, and gave them to the little lady.
Rao is like this, and I don't think it's enough.
I personally ordered a box of children's favorite gadgets, wiped them clean one by one, carefully packed them, and repeatedly told the merchants to bring them to the little lady.
I don't know if the little lady will like these gifts when she receives them.
