Chapter 760: Value
Xiao Cheng naturally didn't know the value of this piece of jadeite, but when he saw Master Feng Bi looking at Geng Xiansheng with a surprised face, he also vaguely guessed the extraordinaryness of this thing. But he didn't show too much surprise, just thanked Geng Xiansheng a few words normally.
Indeed, Xiao Cheng has a lot of communication ability, and in a short time, he contacted a ship by Poyang Lake, which is said to be a ship that is directly sent to Jinling City for both commercial and cargo purposes. This kind of ship is generally occupied by people in the cabin, and the cabin is to carry some more valuable goods. Usually, you should rarely bring outsiders with you, because you can't load too much goods, and the goods must be some valuable.
I heard Xiao Cheng talk about the reason, but it was only because the owner of the ship was a famous merchant in Jinling, and there were branches in every state in the Southern Tang Kingdom, which was a famous Daoguang commercial house. It is said that Ma Yun, a steward of a commercial bank, may want to make some extra money, and he heard that Xiao Cheng is carrying his female dependents with him, so he agreed to Xiao Cheng, and has paid a certain deposit.
Because he saw that there were more Geng Xiansheng now, the careful Xiao Cheng specially informed Feng Biwei that there were actually many people on the boat, and Ma Yun of the Daoguang Commercial Bank was charged per person. Geng Xiansheng smiled silently, looking at Feng Biwei and telling Xiao Cheng that there was one more person to accompany him.
Xiao Cheng was a clever man, and he didn't ask where the person was, so he told the two to get into the carriage and go to the lakeside pier to meet together. For the merchant ship would depart in an hour at the wharf on the lake in front of it.
Put down the horse pier and let the two of them get into the car, Xiao Cheng did it very carefully. For this sudden master, Xiao Cheng can be said to be respectful. This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiao Cheng deeply understands that not everyone has the opportunity.
Xiao Cheng raised his whip to urge the horse, obviously very happy with a smile on his face, because Feng Biwei was obviously at ease with his work. When I just went to ask Ma Yun, I learned that the merchant cargo ship was extremely convenient, and it was better to get on the carriage than on the ship, although it was necessary to charge a certain fee, it was Xiao Cheng's happiest thing, after all, it was rented by Feng Biwei at his own expense.
When the carriage turned a corner along the official road and slowly drove to the dock here, he saw a bustling crowd near the pier. Several large merchant ships were parked at the docks, and many people were loading and unloading the ship's cargo. There is also an ironclad merchant cargo ship on the side, but it is as high as a three-story building, and between the ship and the dock on the side, there is a wooden plank mat ten meters wide and one foot thick, which is obviously the boat that Xiao Jiulang said.
Xiao Cheng hurriedly got out of the car and got on the boat, and went to negotiate with a man standing in the bow of the boat, who was dressed in a brocade robe, looked to be in his thirties, and had two beautiful mustaches on his upper lip. He talked to Xiao Cheng and looked over here from time to time, and soon nodded slightly, obviously agreeing to Xiao Jiulang's request to add two people.
Feng Biwei and Geng Xiansheng sat in the carriage, both wearing veils to cover their faces, their looks were really beautiful, although they were both masters with unique skills, but they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves.
Not long after, Xiao Jiulang, under the guidance of two strong men, slowly drove the carriage onto the wooden boardwalk mat and drove to the merchant cargo ship's bancang. Then Xiao Jiulang led the two of them to a room by the window on the second floor of the cabin to rest, and got down to fix the carriage to the ship's cabin with a few strong men.
Xiao Jiulang didn't ask much, and when he was about to leave the boat, he went ashore according to Feng Biwei's intention and went to pick up another uncle, Su Hou, on the boat. Xiao Jiulang was not surprised when he saw Su Hou, because this Su Hou looked no more than forty years old, wearing a gray cloth robe, and his turban was still wrapped in a piece of cloth.
It's no different from the bookkeeper that Xiao Jiulang saw, or some gentlemen in the private school. However, he carried a few big bags, and Xiao Jiulang knew that they were all eaten as soon as he smelled them. Xiao Jiulang smiled and helped Su Hou carry the bag, there were delicious foods, but he had a very good appetite for Xiao Jiulang.
The ship was very punctual, and Xiao Jiulang listened to the boatman on the ship and knew that there were still a few cabins left that were not full. As the boats slowly sailed into Poyang Lake, some people came out to see the scenery of Poyang Lake.
Xiao Jiulang remembered Feng Biwei's advice and didn't get close to the people on the side, but for the people who were on the same boat, he still instinctively observed. Because he began to consider that only Feng Biwei was with him, Xiao Jiulang did not book a room for himself in order to save money. Now that there are Geng Xiansheng and Su Hou, Geng Xiansheng can be the only one with his master Feng Bi, but Su Hou is the identity of his uncle, Xiao Jiulang thought about waiting to negotiate with Ma Yun.
Su Hou was more casual, and after putting everything in Feng Biwei's room, he only brought a small burden, and then sat on the wooden bench of the cabin board with Xiao Jiulang. Xiao Jiulang couldn't figure out Su Hou's temper, and he had just met this uncle, so he didn't dare to talk too much.
He looked at Cai Qingyun, the man in Xuanyi, on the left, and asked, "Haven't the people sent out have come back yet?" ”
"The first group of people have come back to reply, tonight's Wang family's return banquet is normal, it is Red's people, and they have also seen it in Jufu Building with their own eyes!" This Cai Qingyun said affirmatively.
"It's so calculating, it's really calculating! Not only did the three armies command the envoys, but the defense envoys and assassins came, and they really didn't stay! The thin Wang Xiaofu looked at the fire in front of him, and said calmly: "Everything is only looking for an opportunity, wait and see the investigation reports coming out of the camp, as well as the final movement over there in Jufu Building!" ”
The rich Zheng thoughtfully, and asked tentatively without moving: "Liaocheng Mansion is also a new state in the surrounding area, and now the limelight has even overshadowed Dongping Mansion. The imperial court attaches great importance to this place, and there should be no major incidents! If anything,,,,,,! He seemed to groan for a while, looked at this thin Wang Xiaofu, and his eyes were actually a little flattering: "Let's talk about the family background and people in the city mansion!" ”
"Big state? Just because it's a big state! Only then are there who are eyeing it! Wang Xiaofu said quietly, and suddenly the light in his eyes flashed from the thin eyes, as if he remembered something, and his face moved for the first time: "A certain family understands!" ”
"White Wolf Village Horse Bandits!"
The three of them spoke in unison almost at the same time, and suddenly the three of them looked at each other with a look of horror in their eyes.
Outside, the sound of the husband desperately shouting and walking away the water, and the sound of the gong beating was even more alarming in this night.
The fast horse quickly passed the order in the city, and it was the assassin Sreder and the defense envoy Shen Ba to jointly issue a notice.
Because of the fire in the camp of Xicang, in order to prevent the influx of homeless people and horse bandits into the city, the four gates of Liaocheng Mansion were ordered to be closed. Miscellaneous people who are not fighting fires near Xicheng are not allowed to go home immediately and obstruct the road.
