Chapter 945: Here comes the queue
This is a super large wharf, a distribution center for ships to and from the north to the south.
Standing on the deck and looking at the wharf from a distance, you can see the traffic, the buildings are lined up, the crowds are crowded, and all kinds of vehicles are transporting all kinds of goods piled high, which is extremely lively and full of flowers.
Mooring at this wharf for one night, departing early tomorrow morning, and arriving at Tongzhou Wharf at noon the day after tomorrow.
At this point, the capital is already close at hand.
The Texas Wharf is bustling with everything you need.
After discussing with Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan, Dugu Yuzhang asked people to put down a small speedboat with two sharp ends, ordered someone to go ashore first, and found a good inn on this dock to charter a backyard.
The group didn't plan to enter the city.
Because there were too many ships moored at the dock, all the ships had to queue up, and Qiao Xiaoru was no exception.
There are officials in charge of river transport in command boats, and small patrolling boats go back and forth to maintain order.
At this moment, Qiao Xiaoru and their boat were still several miles away, and it would take at least an hour and a half to dock.
It's not a good time to wait, it's like a traffic jam on the highway, and it's a very impatient thing.
Finally, it was about to be their turn, the last two ships in front of them had already started, and it was about to be their turn, and everyone exhaled: It's finally here!
No, at this moment, there was a commotion in the rear, the water waves rattled, and three big ships rushed straight up.
I saw that the big ship at the head was twice as big as the one Qiao Xiaoru they were on, and there were more than 20 brightly dressed house slaves standing proudly on the boat, shouting "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! ”
A butler-like figure glanced at Qiao Xiaoru and their ship with disdain, and said impatiently to the boat: "Hey, hey, hurry up and make a place, let's go first!" ”
"Why are these people so unreasonable?"
Everyone on this side of the boat was annoyed.
After waiting for nearly two hours, everyone's patience has almost run out, and they are impatient, where can they resist such an arrogant and unreasonable provocation?
Old Man Zhou glanced at the flag fluttering in the wind on the bow of the ship, smiled mockingly, shook his head, turned around and slowly paced towards the cabin, without saying anything.
Lu Zhan also saw the flag, raised his eyebrows and said, "People from the Marquis Mansion of Changchun? No wonder it's so arrogant! ”
Qiao Xiaoru also frowned, but she didn't expect that this had not yet entered Beijing, so she came out like this first.
From Mama Xun, she learned a lot about the major powerful families in the capital, and she also remembered some information about the Marquis of Changchun.
Although Changchun Hou Wuhong has no official position, the Wu family is a veteran magnate in Beijing, and Wu Hong is now an imperial businessman, leading the internal affairs government to do business, and there are twenty or thirty pawnshops in the house, although it is not as rich as Xiao Guifei's maiden family - the first imperial merchant Xiao family, if you want to say that you are rich in the capital, Changchun Hou Mansion is definitely in the top ten.
Powerful and rich, no wonder they are so arrogant and arrogant, and a mere housekeeper dares to go on such a rampage with no one in his eyes.
Dugu Yuzhang frowned, and was about to step forward to negotiate with them - he was responsible for escorting Lu Zhan and his party back to Beijing, so naturally he couldn't make the eldest princess's mansion lose its dignity.
Even if he doesn't carry out the eldest princess's mansion, is he Dugu Yuzhang the master who swallows his anger?
If there is a hurry to tell the truth, he believes that Qiao Xiaoru and Lu Zhan are not unreasonable people, even if they wait a little longer, they may not be able to wait.
But this kind of attitude, Dugu Yuzhang was ruthless in his heart, even if there were people on their boat waiting to treat the disease and save his life, he would never let him!
Dugu Yuzhang sneered in his heart, Changchun Hou Wuhong has always been kind and kind, and he is quite righteous, and in the capital, it can be said that he has a good reputation and a very good reputation.
It's a pity that his life is really not good, he has earned a huge family property, but he has only one daughter, Wu Xianzhi, who has accepted more than a dozen concubines for so many years and has not given birth to a man and a woman.
Now he is also dead, and has to admit the reality that he is destined to have no children.
It is said that now the family is in a lawsuit, and his wife wants to recruit a son-in-law, and the children born in the future will inherit the family business; And the Wu family in his hometown of Shanxi naturally refuses - how can the family property of the Wu family fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames?
The elders of the clan put pressure on him to choose a nephew in the clan to succeed.
For this matter, there has been a lot of tossing in the past two or three years.
Riding on such a gorgeous big ship will certainly not be a butler and the like. is so arrogant and arrogant, it will not be the Marquis of Changchun himself.
Then, most of it is his wife Bai.
Speaking of this old lady, it is not a simple character.
It's a pity that no matter what, Dugu Yuzhang doesn't plan to give in.
Who knows, he just walked towards the side of the boat here, and before he could reach or speak, the other party's bow suddenly deviated and accelerated, "Bang! He slammed into the boat of himself and others.
The hull of the ship shook violently, and the star fruit and mangosteen all screamed in surprise, and the flowers were discolored.
The most unfortunate was the star fruit, which was slammed into the side of the ship by this movement, and the handkerchief in his hand was taken off.
She was in a hurry, and subconsciously reached out to fish, but an unstable one fell into the river from a high boat!
Star fruit screamed!
"Help! Help! "Mangosteen, Xiaoxue, etc., were all terrified.
Dugu Yuzhang, who was angry at the other party's theory, also changed his face and was taken aback, and hurriedly asked someone to jump into the water to rescue the star fruit.
Seeing this, the other party laughed unexpectedly.
The housekeeper smiled very happily, stroked his palm and laughed: "Yes!" Let you give way and dare to grind, and don't look at who we are! What are you still doing? Don't get out of the way yet! Don't they all want to go into the water and be sober and sober? ”
"Come back." Lu Zhan stopped Dugu Yuzhang, who was glaring at the housekeeper who was about to speak, and carefully let go of Qiao Xiaoru's mother and daughter, who were carefully supported in his arms when Fang Cai was shaken, and ordered Xiaoxue and Xiaoshuang to come over and take care of Qiao Xiaoru and their mother and daughter.
Lu Zhan stepped forward with a cold face, jumped forward, and skimmed towards the opponent's ship lightly, landing steadily on the bow of the opponent's ship in a burst of exclamations.
Qiao Xiaoru glanced back, the people sent by Dugu Yuzhang to save people were naturally reliable, star fruit expected to be fine, ordered Mangosteen to watch carefully, and waited for someone to rescue her and let her take care of it, so she hugged Xiaoyue and patted it gently, sneered, and said softly: "Little baby, let's see how your father teaches those dogs and people!" ”
Dugu Yuzhang knew Lu Zhan's temperament, Qiao Xiaoru's mother and daughter were frightened, and it was strange that he could let the other party go.
Not to mention the Marquis of Changchun's Mansion, even if it is a certain palace, with Lu Zhan's current identity, he can also provoke it.
