Chapter 229 Qingshiba Wharf

8days ago traverse Novels 7
The second day of the second month of Long'an.

Tongzhou, Qingshiba Wharf.

As the end of the canal, Qingshiba Wharf is full of sails and crowds.

Cereals, vegetables, fruits, poultry, weaving, wood, porcelain, and lacquerware from Jiangnan are continuously transported from the canal to the wharf, and then transferred to Duzhong through the wharf.

It's endless day and night, and it's very lively.

In order to avoid merchant ships, civilian ships and canal ships fighting for the river dock, a yellow pavilion is specially erected a hundred meters south of the Qingshiba wharf, which serves as the dividing line between canal transport and passenger and cargo ship mooring.

A monument was erected in the pavilion. The inscription clearly stipulates that Vanke cargo ships can only be loaded and unloaded on the south side of Huangting, and must not cross Huangting to the north.

To the south of Huangtingzi, the freight terminal is the west, and the passenger terminal is the east.

Early this morning, two groups of people were waiting at the passenger terminal early.

Although there were many people, one of them was dressed in ordinary and simple clothes, an honest and loyal man, a little shrewd woman, a tall and strong young woman as a black bear monster, and behind her was a young woman holding a child with a snot bubbling nose in her arms.

Obviously, the black bear monster-like young and strong is blocking the cold wind by the river for his wife and children...

Next to this family, there are two strong-tempered white-haired old men, who bring more than a dozen strong men who can see the tourists from the world at first sight.

There was also a young man with a long face, smiling, and laughing at the family from time to time, and then whispering to the two white-haired two.

Not far from this group of people were a dozen or twenty dressed servants and maids.

In February, the weather is already cold, let alone the riverside?

The noble slaves of the high school had a way to add some charcoal to the hand stove from time to time to keep warm.

And even if the ordinary families on the other side have such wealth, they are reluctant to spend so much.

The young man with long faces is still the one who asks people to go to the restaurant next to the dock from time to time, take hot water and put it in the soup to keep warm with everyone.

After waiting for nearly two hours, the young man suddenly said loudly:

Here comes!!

When both sides heard this, they were shocked. When they looked again, they saw three large ships slowly sailing into the dock.

……

Imperial City, Daming Palace.

Hall of Care for Heart.

Emperor Long'an, who had been writing and revising memorials since the hour of Yin, paused his red pen in his hand, frowned, and said in a cold voice: Lin Ruhai still sees me in the future, and rumors about him have begun to spread in the city?

Dai Quan bowed and said: It is true that there are rumors everywhere in the city that Lin Ruhai stayed in the salt administration position of Yangzhou Prefecture for thirteen years, and had a lot of money and a huge net worth of tens of millions. He was afraid that he would have been rich enough to compete with a country. Before leaving, they plundered and plundered. Bai, Chen, Wu and Zhou families were all salt merchants who had met the Emperor and offered loyalty to the Emperor's Southern Tour. Now they were stigmatized by Lin Ruhai and Han Bin, scouting their families and exterminating their clans. They were corruption and cruel, and were the best in ancient and modern times.

Emperor Long'an was furious at first, because the confiscated wealth of Bai, Chen, Wu and Zhou Xi did not enter Lin Ruhai and Han Bin's pockets, but entered his inner treasury. Rumors criticized Han and Lin for being corruption and cruel. Wouldn't it be scolding him?

However, then, Emperor Long'an, who was suspicious by nature, asked again: The memorial presented by the Embroidered Uniform Guard said that Lin Ruhai had not been affected by the wealth of the four families at all, and Han Bin didn't need to say much, what do the people from the CRRC Mansion say?

Dai Quan hurriedly said: The secret letter sent by Jiangnan also said that Lord Lin was a calm person and had no interest in gold and silver. The wealth of the four families of Bai, Chen, Zhou and Wu were all sent by Chen Rong, the Censor of the Second Censor and the Governor of Liangjiang. After reading them one by one, no one dared to make a rash move.

Emperor Long'an said in confusion: How could Lin Ruhai have the resources of the three major ships?

Dai Quan smiled and said: Master, the ancestors of the Lin family are marquises from four generations, and they have been passed down from generation to generation. In the generation of Lord Lin, he simply has no children. After Lin Jia died early, he sold most of the Lin family's ancestral property early, and now only has Suzhou's ancestral home and sacrifice fields. In addition, when Duke Rong married his beloved daughter to the Xinke Tanhualang, it is said that the dowry is less than 300,000 taels, and some even say 500,000 taels. Therefore, Lord Lin is actually a wealthy family now, and his wealth is not much inferior to that of a salt merchant.There is also that Jia Qiang who has made a lot of achievements in Yangzhou Prefecture...

When Emperor Long'an heard this, his eyebrows stretched out: In other words, it was not what the rumor was like, but what the result was from scraping the ground?

Dai Quan hurriedly said: There are both embroidered guards and CRRC Mansion in the Salt Courtyard. The Lin family really has illegal acts in Jiangnan. How can they hide it from the Lord Long Live?

When Emperor Long'an heard this, his face became gloomy again and he sneered: It's strange, my humeral minister had not yet met him, and the cold wind in the capital began to blow first. First, we will expel Han Bin, Li Han, Zhang Gu, Dou Xian and Zuo Xiang. Now, Lin Qing, who cannot tolerate me, what do they want to do? This kid who is not a father-in-law!

Dai Quan heard this, his face flashed with a strange look, but he didn't say much.

Because the people who are clamoring for the wind and waves are indeed some old ministers in Jingchu, but there is another person behind them, and it is appropriate to have no king or father...

But this matter is not obvious yet, and there is no proof at the moment, so there is no need to explain in detail...

He passed the order and summoned Lin Ruhai to meet him immediately.

In addition, the mansion was vacated from the Buzhengfang and given to the Lin family for their family to live in.

There is no need to worry about the decoration of the house. The Lin family has money, so just do it yourself and clean it up...

Dai Quan felt amused when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to respond and said: The Buzhengfang is the residence of the second-rank official of the imperial court, the vacant houses and the daily cleaning of the Internal Affairs Office. The newly vacant one was left by former Grand Secretary Jiang Kang after his retirement. Not long after, the furnishings were better preserved.

After saying that, seeing that Emperor Long'an no longer paid attention, he went out to pass the imperial edict.

The residence of the Grand Secretary can naturally be given to the Grand Secretary, that is, the military prime minister, who will live there.

No matter what official Lin Ruhai can get, his future has been decided.

No one in the court or the country envys such holy relatives!

……

But at the Qingshiba pier, three large ships from Yangzhou were moored there, and the boxes were kept moving and were sent onto the carriage.

Originally, he was planning to temporarily put it in the Taiping Hall on Jia Qiang Xixixi Street, but unexpectedly, the angel came to pass the imperial edict and gave it to the Tuzhengfang.

Although Lin Ruhai went to the imperial city first, after Jia Qiang discussed with Mei Niang and Daiyu, he simply asked the Jinsha Gang's gang members to send the box to the new house of Bu Zhengfang.

After waiting for half an hour, Jia Lian and Lin Zhixiao's family, who came to greet the Rong Mansion, Jia Lian was really impatient and said to Jia Qiang: Do you still want to go back?If you don’t reply, let Sister Lin go back with us first. The old lady is still waiting at home!

Jia Qiang glanced at him lightly, ignored it, but waved to Gao Daqing, who had just moved the box, and called him to the front and back: Brother-in-law, take your uncle, aunt and sister back first. Xiao Shitou was frozen and said he would not catch a cold.After I finished my work outside, I went home to see you.

The tall and young man is Tie Niu. He grabbed his head and said honestly: Let Brother Yun go and send it off, I want to help you.

Jia Qiang smiled and patted his arm, saying: No need now, I still have something big to do to ask you for help.

Tie Niu showed his timidity and hesitated: Brother Qiang, you are doing big things. I am too stupid, afraid that you will be implicated by the things you gave...

Not bad, it has improved a lot from the previous one.

Not far away, Xue Pan, who was harassed with Jia Yun and Liu Laoshi's family, walked over for a long time, looked at the iron giant's black iron tower-like figure, and smiled with a warm smile: Brother Tie Niu, what if you follow me in the future?Make sure you are delicious and spicy. As long as you can help me get over the balls of Duke Zhao's Mansion, I...

Tieniu could no longer listen. Although he had learned a lot with Elder Hong of the Jinsha Gang, he had already dared to take action.

But when he fought with the Duke's Mansion, he still overestimated him...

Jia Qiang ignored these things and walked to the eight-treasure carriage next to the three members of the Liu family, saying: Aunt Lin, go back first, Jia Lian and the people in the mansion?The old lady is waiting for you in Rong Mansion.My aunt and I first put the cage into our new house and then went to Xifu.

Daiyu hesitated and said: Why not wait for my father to come back from the palace and go together?

Jia Qiang smiled and said: You are different from me, and the old lady treats you really feel sorry for her.

Daiyu didn't say anything after hearing this. After a little silence, she slowly responded: That's OK.However, I still have to go home to rest tonight. My father is not at peace yet, so I want to go home to serve the medicine.

Jia Qiang's face looked a little strange. I haven't seen my aunt in Yangzhou Prefecture for several times, you have served medicine...

Of course, that's because there is no need, someone will give me medicine.

But this excuse is so powerful that even Mother Jia may not be able to change...

Well, let Madam Wu and the others clean the new house quickly in a while.As for whether we can come back, it depends on what the old lady said... But we should be able to come back tonight, because the Jia family is probably very lively tonight.

Jia Qiang said with a smile without much smile in his eyes.

Then Daiyu snorted whether she was satisfied or annoyed, and said goodbye to Liu Laoshi and his wife in the carriage. Then, the four nannies led them, and Baoqin, with Jia Lian, Lin Zhixiao and others, they protected the carriage and returned to Rong Mansion first.

After Daiyu left, Jia Qiang looked at Liu Laoshi and Aunt Chun and smiled: Uncle and Aunt, what are you doing here in such a cold day? So is my sister, I bring the little stones too, so I don’t have to worry about the freezing!

Although Aunt Chun was stingy when she was doing things on the wharf, she was not vague at home and neighbors. But today I saw so many noble ladies on the wharf, especially Aunt Mei and Daiyu. Although she could not get off the carriage due to etiquette, she also carried the crowd on her back and opened the window curtain to greet Liu Laoshi and his wife.

Those two beautiful faces like fairies, not to mention that Liu Laoshi didn't even dare to look at them at all, even Aunt Chun was shocked and dared not speak out.

However, Liu Daniu was younger and more generous. After asking, Xiao Shitou received a lot of gifts for meetings.

After hearing what Jia Qiang said, Liu Daniu saw that her mother was still shocked, so she smiled at Jia Qiang: It's okay, Xiao Shitou looks like your brother-in-law, she is so tough and tight. She crawled around the yard with her bare butt for nine days, and she still had fun.

Jia Qiang reached out and stroked Xiao Shitou's forehead that was grinning at him, a little envious, and said: Let Brother Yun take you back, evening... at most tomorrow night, I will go back to have supper together.

Liu Laoshi hurriedly replied: Hey, okay!

Aunt Chun seemed to have met Jia Qiang again now and said with a smile: Brother Qiang, you are busy with the big things outside first, and come back after you finish your work.Your uncle misses you, and he can't sleep all night and night, and he is worried about you.

When Jia Qiang heard this, he felt warm and heard Liu Laoshi, who had always been dull and taciturn, say anxiously: Why are you, your wife, trashing outside? I'll embarrass my nephew, why don't you go home with me!

He turned to Jia Qiang and smiled honestly: Brother Qiang, let your brother-in-law stay here to help you move the box and cage. He is very strong and can help you.

Jia Qiang felt warm in his heart, nodded and smiled: OK!

Liu Laoshi became more and more happy, urging Aunt Chun and Liu Daniu to leave quickly. Jia Qiang and Jia Yun nodded slightly. After Jia Yun understood, they asked the people from the Jinsha Gang to escort Liu Laoshi's family to leave.

No matter what the reason, it is said that the cured leader of the Jinsha Gang, Li Fu and young leader Li Jing, did not appear, and they were not able to interfere at the moment.

Things in the world have their own rules.

But before they could leave, they saw two teams of cheers and joys coming over crying and shouting, which caused countless people to look at each other along the way.

However, what made Jia Qiang's eyes gradually narrowed, and his eyes gradually became silenced was that he knew both the leaders of the two teams.

Jia Chang and Jia Ling.

Jia Qiang looked down at the plain cloak on his body, then looked at the tribes and relatives who were crying in mourning clothes on the opposite side, and sneered.
