Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 52 and Tillian Twin Flowers
The dam is the largest merchant ship berthing wharf in Wuzhou, the workers carry the goods on their shoulders from morning to night in the cargo area on the wharf, the vehicles pulling the goods are waiting in a long line to load and transport, and the large crane arm in the allocation area will load the goods in an orderly manner, and the bustling wharf does not stop for a moment.
The yard that Yun Hao wants to see is only one street away from the busy wharf, and it is not far from the wharf warehouse, which is very convenient for business in terms of location, and can be regarded as a prime location.
"Before, this was the branch of the Thunderbolt Hall of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, but because the firearms they sold were too dangerous, the Wei City Lord took back their management rights, and the Thunderbolt Hall mortgaged the shop to us." Xu Man'er introduced while asking people to open the door of the store.
After the door of the store opened, Xu Man'er led Yun Hao and them to visit the courtyard, the three-story tower facing the street is quite suitable for business, the atrium has been transformed into a warehouse, and the backyard is used for living.
The whole yard is not big, but the layout is compact and very practical, Yun Hao looked around and was quite satisfied, and immediately signed the transfer contract after negotiating the price.
After the business was discussed, Xu Man'er turned to Su Lingmeng and said: "The sword name of the Su City Lord is called the Immortal, in my opinion, the City Lord of Su is also worthy of the name of 'Immortal', and he is very right with the Lord of the Cloud Gate." β
The two had not communicated at all before, and Su Lingmeng thought that she didn't know herself, but now that she heard Xu Man'er say this, she obviously recognized her a long time ago.
"I'm afraid that Mrs. Xu has misunderstood, this seat and the Cloud Gate Lord are just friends." Su Lingmeng explained.
Xu Man'er smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, I only saw a pair of beautiful people who couldn't help but talk a little more, this time my sister accompanied you to Wuzhou, and I couldn't help but think about things like a hundred years of good unity." β
"The idle concubine is provincial, and the reunion of sisters is a beautiful thing." There was a hint of loneliness in Su Lingmeng's words.
Xu Man'er said: "City Lord Su doesn't need to be envious, your sister will also come to Wuzhou this time." β
Su Lingmeng's face turned pale, and he said, "There is no sister in this seat. β
Looking at Su Lingmeng, who walked out of the door without looking back, Yun Hao immediately asked, "Does she have a sister?" β
Xu Man'er was surprised: "The Cloud Gate Lord actually doesn't know?!" β
Among the four major families, only the Su family has no male and only two daughters, the daughter of the Su family is named 'Su Lingyu' is eight years older than the second daughter Su Lingmeng, Su's mother died early, Su's father did not continue to love, Su Lingyu took care of her young sister like a mother, and the relationship between the two sisters was naturally extraordinary.
But as the eldest sister, Su Lingyu naturally has to take responsibility for the future of the Su family, but this responsibility is too heavy, when Su Lingmeng was eight years old, an accident completely changed the fate of the two sisters.
The two lotus flowers and the two flowers seem destined to absorb each other's nutrients, and only separation can make the other half thrive.
The previous emperor of Izumo Province has not established a new queen since the death of the first empress, seeing that his health is deteriorating and the prince is young and no one to teach, he has the idea of establishing a post, and finally chooses the Su family, which has no male in the family, and this choice is also to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, which is quite similar to the current Xu family.
That year, Su Lingyu was in the flowering season but was going to marry the old emperor, as a younger sister, Su Lingmeng naturally couldn't accept it, she was originally lively and cheerful, and she became more and more indifferent, and never said a word to her sister who was with her.
On the day Su Lingyu entered the palace, the ceremony had not yet begun Emperor Izumo but controlled the dragon Bintian, and the young lord ascended the throne, although Su Lingyu did not salute but had entered the treasure book, but nominally became the queen mother.
Things in the world are often like this, even if you have accepted your fate and succumbed to it, you can't get the desired result, so Su Lingyu chose to be a monk on the night of the pawn, and the red dress did not fade before she swore to become a monk, and the two sisters have not seen each other in the past ten years.
Su Lingmeng stood by the river, she had never forgotten her sister in the past ten years, but she deliberately avoided it and did not want to mention it, just like the Nu River in front of her was calm on the surface but the dark tide was surging.
Yun Hao came to her side and threw a small pebble into the river, but unfortunately the pebble was too small to cause ripples.
"If you want to satisfy your curiosity, or if you want to say something of comfort, don't open your mouth." Su Lingmeng said lightly.
"I don't have that much spare time, you look at the workers on the dock, their legs and stomachs are clenched, their waists can't be straightened, it's not easy for anyone to live, where is there so much sadness and sadness."
Yun Hao really didn't want to say anything, just quietly accompanied, and now he also understood the relationship between Su Lingmeng and the royal family, or the dispensable relationship, presumably this is also the reason why she dislikes being involved with the royal family.
Su Lingmeng looked at the dock and said, "Yes, where did you get so much sentimentality, now that you have a place to stay, I also happen to spend the night." β
Yun Hao smiled: "That's what I mean. β
Just after the two left, a porter on the dock was overwhelmed and fell to the ground, and the goods on his shoulders also fell heavily on his feet.
Hearing the scolding, a fat man came out of the pergola biting a melon, scratched his big belly and grinned: "Hairy eggs, what a noise!" β
Seeing the big fat man's footmen, he immediately got out of the way, and the fat man looked at the goods and said, "Are your goods okay?" β
The owner of the goods looked at the fat man with a fierce face, and knew that this kind of land snake was less troublesome, so he shook his head.
"Why don't you pry open the box and take a look, it's okay outside, maybe there's something inside." The fat man continued.
The owner shook his sleeves and said: "No need, although these things are worthless, they can't withstand falling, you guys are careful, if you bump again, don't want to get a penny from me." β
Before the words fell, a big hand pinched the back of the owner's neck, and the fat man's voice immediately sounded, "Hairy egg, there is only one person on this dock who can give orders, you tell him who this person is!" β
All the porters on the dock stopped their movements and shouted at the top of their voices: "It's you, the boss of the Sanhe Society, 'Li Xuanwu' Boss." β
Listening to the sound that resounded through the dock on the dam, Li Xuanwu closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while before saying: "Hear clearly, your goods are okay, but my people are injured, take the money." β
"What kind of money to take, it's because he is weak, I don't want him to pay it, it's good." The owner of the goods said with a stiff neck.
Li Xuanwu was not used to him, so he directly slapped the melon in his hand on the face of the owner of the goods, and shouted: "Mao Dan, believe it or not, Lao Tzu wants all your goods to sink into the river." β
There were hundreds of people on the wharf, and the owner of the goods naturally did not dare to be angry, so he could only give the money obediently, Li Xuanwu weighed the money in his hand, handed it to the injured porter and sent him home to recuperate.
After all this commotion, the docks quickly resumed their busyness.
This small incident may seem like an accident, but it sets the stage for an even greater tragedy to comeγγγ
In the golden autumn, the cool morning is getting stronger, the thin quilt is not warm, and the adjacent pier is constantly noisy early in the morning, which makes Yun Hao regret choosing to settle here.
The noise is getting closer and closer, so that he can't isolate it when he buries his head under the pillow, Yun Hao secretly scolded and got up with a plan to wash his face and sober up, and he usually has his own plum blossom maid to prepare, but now he can only do it himself, and at this time he can't help but regret it again.
When he opened the door, he saw that Su Lingmeng was already standing in the courtyard to practice qi, Yun Hao immediately stood up straight and hid the basin behind him, and said, "Xiaomeng is early, the weather is good." β
After Su Lingmeng exhaled lightly, he said, "I was woken up, there seems to be an accident outside." β
Yun Hao was refreshed at once, put down the basin and ran outside.
