Wu Cheng responded,

"Master, don't worry if I do things!"

This was not cold yet, so why did you come back and say that the price was negotiated?

Wu Cheng responded,

"Master, it's not that the old slave is taking his own initiative. The price offered by the other party is too good. If I don't agree, I can't even erase it!"

"Oh...how much money did the other party pay?"

Wu Cheng stretched out his index finger,

"Master, the other party paid 10,000 taels of cash!"

The buyer found a silver note of 10,000 taels on the spot. Wu Chengzhen couldn't help it and decided before he could report to Wu Hongwen. Wu Hongwen was surprised when he heard that.

"How come you have extra money? Are you asking the other party's origin?"

Could it be that some gangster who is committing crimes, the one who takes out dirty silver?

Wu Cheng shook his head repeatedly,

"Don't worry, Master, that's the big manager of Zhang Yuanwai's family in the west of the city. The old slave also knows him..."

"Oh... Then do you ask why the other party paid so much money?"

Wu Cheng responded,

"That manager said that thanks to the master and the eldest lady who captured the Japanese pirates and avenged their young lady. After hearing that you were leaving Hangzhou, Mr. Zhang said that he was unable to repay him. He was also in a bad place and came to the door rashly for fear that the censor would know and drag down the master's career. When he heard that the master was going to sell his house, he sent the manager to come forward... to thank the master and the eldest lady for their great kindness!"

After explaining this, Wu Hongwen finally felt relieved and then took the deal and sold the house at a high price. Mr. Zhang said again that Master Wu did not have to rush to move things, but he would take his family to Nanjing first. All the items at home were packed and he would send someone to escort them to Nanjing in person!

Wu Hongwen shook his head when he heard this,

"I have already received more money from others before, but this time I will not bother Mr. Zhang anymore!"

But he politely declined the other party's proposal.

The journey from Hangzhou to Nanjing is not far away, and it is not hard to take a large and stable official boat along the way. This house will catch the carriage with bags on the first day, and only a family of young people will need to travel lightly on the second day.

So on this day, Xiao Cheng took his three daughters by his side and went to the dock to see the official boat. He wanted to watch ten carriages on board. So when the mother and daughter took the carriage to the dock, they lifted the curtain and saw that the dock was full of people, very busy, and there were countless boats that were large and small. There were sails standing in front of them, with boats connected to the boats, and they couldn't see the water surface, and they looked like flat ground.

"Mother!"

Wu Yuanzhen and Wu Lianzhen rarely have such scenes. Seeing this, they were very excited and asked Xiao Cheng continuously.

"Which one is our ship?"

Xiao Cheng smiled,

"I don't know either, but when I get to the place, Wu Cheng will come to greet you!"

As he spoke, he felt as if he got off the carriage and stopped. The groom outside said,

"Madam, Miss, the great manager is here to welcome you!"

The mother and daughter got off the boat, and they saw Wu Cheng standing beside the car.

"Madam, please follow the old slave to the front. The official boat we are on tomorrow has just arrived at the shore today. We have to remove the things above before we can hold our things..."

As she spoke, she led the master forward. The maids and women hurriedly protected each other. Xiao Cheng led his two daughters first, left and right, and Wu Xinan was behind. It was the first time she had seen so many boats and so many people. So she looked around curiously. She saw that the most people on the pier were the porters in thick clothes and linens, the managers in various houses with square scarves and robes, and the small vendors selling various snacks on bamboo baskets.

Of course, there were also those passengers from the south and north, some of whom were alone carrying bags, and some of whom were dragging their families, stroking their elders and children, pushing and rushing by. A group of people were clamoring to beat their side. Zhiniao and Du Juan were busy protecting each other, fearing that someone would not be able to take care of their eyes, so they would hit their eldest lady.

Wu Xin'an walked all the way, followed Xiao Cheng to the ground and walked to the front to look at the official boat to take tomorrow.

If officials from the Daqing Dynasty obey the imperial court dispatch, they can take the official boat. They just need to take the transfer order and their official seal documents to go to the canal transportation office to explain where to go, and then someone will arrange the boat ride.

The Wu family is from Hangzhou to Nanjing. The Jiangnan line has the most numerous ships from south to north, so there is no need to wait for a long time. A sand ship sailing south was arranged at the Caoyuan Office. Today, when we arrived in Hangzhou, we carried Wu Hongwen's family and then we could set off again.

Wu Xinan stood by the dock while looking at the flat bottom, square head, square boat, wide and large official boat, while listening to Wu Cheng beside him talking to the people in the canal transportation yamen.

"Manager Wu, as mentioned above, there are ten carriages, and the family members are totaling forty, but there are still increases or decreases?"

Wu Cheng responded,

"It should be this number, it will not increase or decrease again!"

"Um!"

The tiny official in the canal transportation yamen nodded and took out a thick booklet to Wu Chengdao.

"I'll ask Manager Wu to use your master's seal on the top, so I can take it back to the yamen to submit my office!"

Wu Cheng nodded, took out Wu Hongwen's private seal from his arms, sniffed a few breaths on the bottom of the seal, and used the seal on the booklet with the nourishment of water vapor. The little official nodded and said,

"If you want to remember this, please remember the things on the ship in a short while, then the things on your mansion can be loaded on top. However, after the ship is on the ship, please keep all things yourself. If there is any loss, our canal transportation office will not be responsible. It is best to send someone to watch it in your mansion tonight..."

"yes!"

Wu Cheng nodded and listened to the little official's words.

"Although it is an official boat, you have to take care of all three meals a day after boarding the boat. You can stop in Dacheng Town and do not delay your trip at will..."

In this way, he reminded many things, and Wu Cheng took notes one by one. Wu Xinan listened, and his eyes swept over the porter coming and going around him, but suddenly he saw two familiar faces.

"Huh!"

Wu Xinan thought he had admitted his mistake, so he looked carefully again. He knew him. After thinking about it, he looked around and looked around. While Zhiniao and Du Juan were not paying attention, he got into the crowd at the dock. He followed the two people who were carrying goods to the warehouse at a dock. Seeing that they were unloading the goods on their shoulders and saying something to him, he bent down and grabbed a handful of sprinkled rice grains from the ground and threw them to the two people in front of them.

Her hand force, throwing rice was like throwing a stone, and the two of them in front of them grinned, and turned around and cursed,

"Damn it, no one who is eye-opening, dares to hit your grandpa and me!"

But he saw Wu Xinan at a glance and immediately changed his face.

"Ouch! Female...Grandpa!"

The two were Wu Xin'an, who rushed forward,

"Female...Grandpa...Why are you here?"

Wu Xinan rolled his eyes and looked up and down. Seeing that they were wearing coarse cloth clothes and a thick piece of linen on their shoulders, it was dressed as a dock porter. He couldn't help but wonder,

"Why are you two here and why are you working on the dock?"

Didn’t I give the two people gold ingots? The ten taels of gold ingots were exchanged for silver, which was enough for the two of them to make a shop to do small business. How could the silver be spent so quickly?

"Where are the money I gave you, but I took it to bet?"

The two of them immediately felt bitter when they heard this.

"Oh! Grandpa, you are wronged by the young people. Since you rewarded the silver to the young people, the young people have learned their lessons and made up their minds to change their past mistakes. With the silver here, they want to go to buy a shop or buy a small yard, and at least they can build a property for themselves. As a result..."

I don’t know if these two people were cheated on the bad luck of the year!

When they met Wu Xinan in front of him, they were beaten up. After suffering from flesh and blood, they made a fortune. Then they wanted to build a shop, but they dragged people to find out that there was a shop on Hefang Street that was very cheap. The two of them ran away happily and saw that the shop was selling fragrant powder. It was the best time for the shop to trade, and the business was good.

These two people are just gangsters, who are living on the streets all day long. Although the evil way is the clever one, this is the first time in business. When they saw someone coming in and out of the shop, their business was very prosperous, they secretly discussed.

"Boss, look at the business of the shop, so we don't have to change our business, just do the powder and ointment business. Hehehe... we can also meet those beautiful girls and wives every day... we can't take the opportunity to touch anything!"

Thinking of this, the second child couldn't help but smile with a longing, but the eldest child curled his lips.

"Swish! You think beautifully. Look at the two of us, like those who sell scented powder and ointment, aren't you afraid of scaring everyone away!"

This is true. The two of them have been in the street for more than ten years, and they are angry from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. If they open a fragrant powder shop, they just need to stand in front of the shop. Those big girls and little wives are afraid that they will take a detour from eight miles away and do nothing business!

"This...Boss, what you said is right. So what business do we do, according to what you said?"

"Well... I think it's better to change it. Open a Paijiu restaurant. I can't say the business will be good!"

"This is a good idea!"

Anyway, they are sluts, and even doing business, they can't live without the inferior ones. After discussing this, they made up their minds to buy the shop. So they saw that the owner of the shop was a middle-aged scholar with a fair face and a Confucian shirt. The man claimed that his surname was Zhou and Maoshan, and said to the two with a smile.

"This shop is under the name of a cheap man. Only Zhou has passed the imperial examination and is going to work as an official in another place. Some of the industries in his hands are eager to take off, so he thought that the price is lower and he will change his hands..."

When the two of them heard this, they thought they had taken a big advantage and bargained with Zhou Maoshan, and settled a 180 tael of silver for the store. At that time, they paid a deposit of fifty taels. They agreed that in three days, everyone would go to the yamen to pass the contract and pay the remaining 130 taels.
Chapter completed!
