Chapter Fifty-Six: Arrival in Nanjing
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty drove the captives to Mobei, but received a Central Plains that was beaten to a dilapidated point by the princes, so when the capital of Nanjing was in ruins, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to repair the road of the world's post and dredge the waterway.
Although the relocation of the capital is now on the agenda, Nanjing is still the capital so far. Towards the end of the year, the world released the tax into the warehouse, the seven post roads leading to Nanjing City are bustling with people all day long, and the canal that has just been dredged to the Yangtze River is also an endless stream of boats coming and going. In addition, there are still officials who have been called to the capital to report on their work or officials from all over the country who came to participate in the New Year's Day Dynasty, and countless nobles and wealthy businessmen gather in this land of gold dust, which is a scene of peace and prosperity.
After entering the Yangtze River, Zhang Yue successively saw several luxury official ships passing by. If it is said that the six-masted ship of his group has been regarded as the top in this year, then those big official ships can be called luxurious and luxurious, and the sound of silk and bamboo floating above, as well as those guards stuck to the deck like nails, exude an infinite solemn atmosphere.
Naturally, the captains and sailors of the ship immediately retreated in a panic whenever they encountered such a situation, and in their words, none of these rampaging official ships could be provoked by either the royal family or the high-ranking officials.
There are many nobles at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yue is naturally not conceited enough to think that he can compete with those real magnates, so he can't help but praise the cautiousness of the ship boss and reward a few. At this time, he stood at the bow of the ship in a quail fur, and he could not help but let out a long breath as he saw the captain of the ship give way to several boats that looked to be promising, and the last one slowly approached the dock.
He was frightened by the situation when he opened the flood last time, and he was always worried about whether he would meet Jiang bandits and water bandits along the way, but he didn't sleep a few times - after all, there were two thousand taels of gold hidden in two seemingly inconspicuous small boxes, which was almost the money that everyone in the Xiangfu Zhang family had scraped together!
"Third young master, the first thing in front is the Shandong Political Secretary to release this year's taxes, so it will be delayed for a while to get off the ship."
Seeing that the boss of the boat was careful, Zhang Yue nodded with a smile and said, "I've waited so much time, I don't care about such a little effort." You get them to get off the sail carefully and get ready. ”
Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen also left the cabin at this time. Hearing this, Zhang Chao couldn't help muttering: "There are many rules under the feet of this Tianzi, if it is in Kaifeng, who dares to cross in front of our ship?" ”
Zhang Zhen pouted: "This Nanjing is not Kaifeng, Hugh said that it is us, even the British public has never been ostentatious." The third brother is cautious, maybe a civil and military minister with a background can come down from any boat, and when the time comes, he will be impeached, not to mention that we can't eat and walk around, and we will also affect the family. This is Nanjing, not a rural place. ”
"What did you say!" Zhang Chao has always been a charcoal character, and at this time, he felt that Zhang Zhen was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and he suddenly jumped like thunder, "You are also a descendant of the Xiangfu Zhang family, you dare to say that it is a rural place!" ”
"Okay, okay, what kind of place is this, you don't have to argue for a few words, do you want others to see the joke!"
Zhang Yue saw that the more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, so he had to stop drinking on both sides, but his head was already a little swollen. In the past half a month, they have all lived on the boat, and the two brothers usually don't see each other correctly, so naturally they will fight each other if they have a slight dispute, which makes him desperately suppress it like a firefighter. Now that they are about to get off the boat, the two of them actually staged such a play.
Fortunately, although Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen were not convinced by anyone, they could still listen to Zhang Yue's words, and they both snorted coldly at the moment, don't look over, and ignore anyone. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue didn't bother to pay attention to the two guys who didn't stop, one big and one small, and went back to the cabin by himself.
"The things over there of the eldest brother and the fourth brother have also been packed?"
Amber glanced at the autumn marks, and hurriedly replied: "The eldest young master's Luoying and crystal have already been tied, but the herbs from the fourth young master's side have just come, saying that the medicinal fragrance is seasick and dizzy, and I am afraid that there will be some trouble when I get off the boat." ”
"When the time comes, let the Zhao Fang family and the Zhou Zheng family take care of it, and when they get to the British Mansion, they will be fine."
Having said that, Zhang Yue thought that Yaoxiang had often vomited since he got on the ship, and that he had worked extremely hard this month, and that Zhang Zhen's scolding was often heard in the cabin, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart. But this is someone's family matter, and it's not easy for him to take care of it. At this moment, there was a sudden tremor from the big ship, and he stretched out his hand to help him on the bulkhead to stabilize himself, and then he heard a shouting outside.
"Dock, dock!"
When the big ship docks, the servants who come down first are naturally the servants. Although Kaifeng was originally a place with developed waterways, and most people were used to boats, seasickness was far more than just Yaoxiang. Poor Gao Quan's tall butler was carried down by two strong little men, and as soon as he came ashore, he found a place to vomit in the dark.
The other servants were moving things down from the boat with their hands and feet, and when they were in full swing, Zhang Zhen, who was the first to get off the boat before Zhang Chao and Zhang Yue, saw a middle-aged man who was looking around not far away.
"Rongbo!"
The middle-aged man immediately turned his head when he heard this, and when he saw the person who spoke clearly, he shouted behind him, and then ran over like a gust of wind with the hem of the robe in front of him. When he got closer, he smiled and pulled off his robe to bow down, and his knees were bent down, but his arm was tightly supported, so he stood up with a warm smile on his face.
"I haven't seen you for more than four years, I can't imagine that Young Master Zhen still remembers the little one."
"Uncle Rong, I just forgot that no one will forget you, I think you didn't make that bamboo horse for me at the beginning?"
"It's just a few bamboos, this little thing young master, you still remember, the small one really can't afford it!"
Rong Bo was so happy that he even crooked his mouth at this time, and before he could flatter a few more words, he suddenly saw that two gorgeously dressed young men had already come behind Zhang Zhen. At this moment, he immediately put away the upturned corners of his mouth, showed a respectful and decent smile, and stepped forward to bow down extremely neatly: "Little Rongshan greets the super young master, the more young master!" ”
When the two met and greeted each other just now, Zhang Yue grabbed Zhang Chao, who wanted to come forward, and didn't catch up until they said a few words. At this time, seeing that Rong Shan was about to kneel, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up with both hands, because he said with a smile: "We are all young, but we can't afford such a big gift from you, Uncle Rong." My eldest brother and I are coming to Nanjing for the first time, so I have to ask you to mention more in the future, so as not to make a joke about our mistakes. ”
"How dare you, didn't Young Master Yue's statement kill the little one?" With such humility in his mouth, Rong Shan immediately turned around and gave a deep order to a group of healthy servants dressed in neat uniforms, "Hurry up and move the things of the three nephews and young masters to the carriage, be careful not to bump into them!" Also, go to the boat to see if anything is pulled down, and then reward the boatman with a few dollars! ”
He suddenly turned his head again and asked in a low voice, "What is important in the luggage of the three young masters?" ”
Rong Shan was looking at Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhen, but unexpectedly, this pair of brothers all turned their heads to look at Zhang Yue. At this time, he didn't feel a pang in his heart, and quickly turned his gaze to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue only looked at Rong Shan's instinctive attitude, and knew that the other party originally looked down on him the most among the three. Only this attitude he was used to tasting before, and at this time he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Our three brothers didn't bring anything with them this time, but the family put together some gold, and now it is my two girls who are in charge, please ask Rong Bo to send someone to take care of one or two." ”
The word gold only made Rong Shan's eyelids jump slightly, but as soon as he heard that it were two girls who were in charge of gold, he was a little moved, and immediately went to make some arrangements in person. At this time, Zhang Chaofang stepped forward next to Zhang Yue's side and muttered in a low voice: "This guy is not easy to deal with, third brother, be careful." ”
