In the early morning of the next day, they packed up early and boarded the Golden Eagle on their way to Yangzhou.There are five floors above the deck of the Golden Eagle, and there is another floor below the deck for cargo. A red and blue cloud pattern flag is hung on the bow, with a golden eagle embroidered on it.

Li Di, Shen Chu, and Zai Zai lived in the Tianzihao suite on the fifth floor, while Qingzhu and the accompanying guards lived on the fourth floor.

There are five Tianzihao suites in total, and the one with the best location has already been occupied by people.A man in white was half lying on the couch by the window, resting his stomach on one hand, half closing his eyes to rest.I saw him with a charming face, fair skin, a pair of peach blossom eyes with upturned tails, even half-closed eyes are enough to seduce the soul, his chin is slightly pointed, his cheeks are a little thin, and he can't tell his age at all.

Li Di and his party went up the gangway and happened to fall into his eyes.

He opened his eyes slightly, his eyes flashed, and he said lazily, "Who are these people?"

Standing next to him was a middle-aged thin man in his forties, wearing a scarf and a goatee. His appearance had a touch of elegance, and he said respectfully, "These people are the guests who just boarded the ship today. It is said that they are going to Yangzhou Blessings."

The man in white frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that no one should be allowed in on the top floor?"

The middle-aged man said in a good voice, "They are carrying tokens."

The man in white took a closer look at Li Di and the others, hooked his lips, and said with a smile, "Really? In that case, the reputation of the firm is also important. Sending someone to give them a small gift is considered a meeting gift. "

The middle-aged man should be respectful.

The man in white waved his hand, "Go down, let me sleep for a while."

"Yes, my lord."

······

The suite has three rooms, all of which are covered with thick vermilion carpets. The living room is in the middle, the bedroom is on the left, and the study room is on the right. There is a bed and a bookshelf, which are full of books. It's local customs records, foreign object records, maps and so on. There is a desk in the middle, and there are several futons around it.There are also compartments for washing.

The room is transparent on three sides, open the window and enjoy the river breeze, with green hills on one bank and houses on the other.There is also a rather large platform outside the window, with a round coffee table and a few rattan chairs, it is pleasant to sit and drink tea when the weather is good.

After arriving in the room, Zai Zai hurriedly asked Qing Zhu to put the porcelain basin containing the red carp on the desk, knelt on the futon with his two short legs, and lay his whole body on the desk to look at his red carp.Shen Chu looked at the little guy's appearance, and couldn't help crying and laughing. Seeing one who loves the other, how amazing it will be when he grows up.

Taking off the gauze hat and putting it aside, Shen Chu looked around, picked up a book from the bookshelf, and found it quite interesting.Most of the books on this bookshelf are not available on the market. It seems that the books written by the people under his own hands are not about talking about the truth, but about recording practicality.

And the more I was more and more surprised, I found that this firm even went to sea, and even went as far as Tianzhu and Dashi to conduct transactions. It really deserves to be the No. [-] firm in Yunmeng.

Li Di was sitting on the couch by the window reading a book, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious and peaceful for a moment.

Soon the Golden Eagle left the shore, and the hull shook very slightly. I have to say that the shipbuilding technology is quite good, and it is much easier than riding in a carriage.After exercising for a day and a night, he will arrive at Yingtian Mansion early tomorrow morning.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside, and Shen Chu immediately put on the gauze hat.Qingzhu opened the door and came in to preach, "It's the manager of the firm."

I saw the middle-aged man with the goatee come in and respectfully said, "Duan Chong is the owner of the Golden Eagle. My master happens to be on this ship too. I heard that the guest room of the Tianzi has guests, so I ordered you to give me some gifts. Please be careful. , I still hope to accept it."

The servant behind him stepped forward and placed the gifts on the tray on the desk one by one. They were mainly some rare fruits to eat, and there were also a few finely crafted gadgets, which might not be suitable for Tonglu Trading Company. It's nothing, but it's rare in the market, and it can still be sold at an affordable price, it seems that it is still full of heart,

Qingzhu replied instead of Li Di, "Thank you, Master, and Mr. Duan."

Zai Zai also followed the milk's voice and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!" Director Duan couldn't help but smile when he saw Zai Zai's clever and cute appearance, and he said goodbye and left.

The little guy grabbed the dried durian on the table and asked, "Daddy, can you eat this?"

Shen Chu nodded, Zai Zai directly stuffed it into his mouth.

Qing Zhu said anxiously, "Young master, don't know what this is, don't just put it in your mouth!"

Shen Chu persuaded, "It's okay, it's made from the fruit that is abundant in the area south of Baiyue, so there's nothing wrong with eating it."

The little guy ate happily, squinted his big eyes from time to time, picked up one from the plate and handed it to Qingzhu, "Uncle Qingzhu, eat, it's very sweet!" Then he grabbed another one for Shen Chu and Li Di.

Shen Chu used to like to eat durians in modern times. The smell of dried durians is not as strong as that of durians, but it tastes more sweet and delicious.

Qingzhu took the dried durian that the little guy handed over, and was very moved, but just as he put it to his mouth, he smelled a strong and strange smell, which made him a little bit speechless.But seeing the innocent and enthusiastic eyes of the little guy, he still ruthlessly stuffed it into his mouth and ate it.

Immediately, a smell that was smelly but not stinky, or fragrant but not fragrant, exploded in his mouth, especially in the upper part, he felt a little bad all over. He hurriedly poured himself several cups of tea, but the smell still couldn't dissipate.The pure green bamboo doesn't know that the taste of durian is so overbearing.

Seeing this, Li Di was about to secretly throw away the dried durian in his hand while Zai Zai was not paying attention, but Shen Chu saw it with piercing eyes, leaned close to him and whispered, "Yo yo, you need to throw away the dried durian that Zai Zai gave you drop?"

Li Di froze, and said dryly, "Why, how could--" He tried to put the dried durian to his mouth, and suddenly a strong smell rushed into his nose. Don't hesitate to put it in your mouth.

Shen Chu chuckled and said, "Give it to me."

Li Di was a little hesitant, and wondered if this food was really edible, but seeing that the little guy was fine after eating a piece, and still not satisfied, he gave him doubts.

Shen Chu took it and ate it cheerfully. This thing is not cheap in modern times, not to mention that in the current traffic congestion, if it is really thrown away, it would be a waste.

Li Di was stunned looking at him, he really didn't understand how Shen Chu could eat so happily, obviously the smell of this food is really not flattering.Even with his extraordinary self-control, he wanted to stay away from him.

Shen Chu looked like they didn't know how to appreciate it, and he and Zai Zai quickly finished a plate of dried durians. Of course, Zai Zai was too young to eat more, most of them went into Shen Chu's stomach.

Soon, at noon, one big and one small were not hungry at all, and lay on the wicker chairs on the deck to bask in the sun.Zai Zai lay on Shen Chu's stomach, sleepy from the warm sun, rubbed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

After putting Zai Zai on the bed, Li Di said to him, "Let Qingzhu watch, let's go downstairs."

Shen Chu nodded and put on the gauze hat.At the door, Li Di stretched out his arm, and Shen Chu naturally took it.There were basically no people on the fifth floor, except for their room, and there was only a guard at the other end guarding the door.

Shen Chu said softly, "It seems that the master Duan mentioned should live in that room. Who do you think the master he is talking about?"

Li Di looked at him jokingly, and asked back, "What does the lady say?"

Shen Chu shook his head, "I only heard that Tongqu Trading Company has a great background, some say it is related to the royal family, and some say it is in the hands of a mysterious Jianghu sect, but I don't know exactly what it is."

Li Di: "If this thoroughfare firm is really in the hands of the royal family, the emperor might wake up laughing from his dreams. It is reasonable to say that it is in the hands of Jianghu sects. After all, many of the places they are going to are difficult for manpower, and they will meet along the way. The hardships and dangers encountered are also unimaginable, and it is much more convenient to go to business with martial arts."

"But in whose hands it is in the hands of, I don't know. At least the Tongqu Commercial Bank itself is a huge existence, and it doesn't need to rely on anyone to exist."

Shen Chu asked in his mind, "Mao Tuan, do you know?"

Mao Tuan: "I don't know, the system prompts are non-spoiler matters."

They went directly to the first deck, and there were many people who went to the bow to let the wind out, or sat on the deck and basked in the sun.The two still attracted a lot of attention along the way, and Shen Chu couldn't help complaining, "I think this gauze cap is too eye-catching."

Li Di said calmly, "You will definitely attract more attention if you don't wear it."

Shen Chu choked, thinking that your appearance is not much better.

In the middle of the hull, there are guards guarding the entrance of the passage. The sun shines inside, and you can see a staircase going down. Next to it is written "the warehouse is an important place, no entry is strictly prohibited."The two looked at each other, and they both saw that they were eager to try, but not now.

When they returned to the room, Li Di called Qing Zhu over again and gave him some instructions.

In the middle of the night, after everyone was asleep, Li Di changed into night clothes.Shen Chu whispered, "Are you sure you don't want to bring someone with you?"

"The martial arts of the guards on this ship are not low, and it's even harder to be found if I go alone."

Shen Chu sat on the edge of the bed while reading a book while watching over the sleeping Zai Zai, a little uneasy, so he simply turned off the light and lay down on the bed with his clothes on.

After a long time, only hearing the sound of the window lattice, Li Di rolled over and got into the bed quickly.

Shen Chu was surprised, "Who?!"

Li Di whispered, "It's me. They found out and chased me all the way."

At this time, the light from the torch outside was shining through the window, and Director Duan's voice came, "Mr. Li, are you asleep?"

"Suspicious people have gone to the fifth deck. Could you let us check?"

A rough and fierce voice said from the side, "Master Duan, why don't we just break in through the door."

Director Duan raised his hand to signal him not to mess around.

In desperation, Shen Chu's heart became ruthless, and he directly pulled Li Di into the quilt, took off his clothes three times, five times out of two, and twisted gently in the quilt, with an unexplained groan coming from his throat. □, and then the movement inside the quilt became louder and louder, and the □□ sound became more and more obvious. Even people outside could hear what was going on inside at once.

Director Duan frowned, and the few big and thick men who followed behind him were all blushing.While thinking about it, thinking that nothing was missing in the cargo hold, and the last shipment of sea salt had already been handed over, he immediately made a decision, and said in a deep voice, "It's a good thing to bother you, sir." Then he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to follow and leave.

The strong man with a hostile face beside him said anxiously, "Master Duan, are you leaving just like that?"

Director Duan lowered his voice and said fiercely, "Then what else do you want?"

"Hurry up and leave. When the reputation of our firm guarding the door and listening to the foot of the guest's bed spreads, where will our firm face in the future?!"

The brawny man was unwilling, but he wasn't stupid. The group could only follow Mr. Duan and leave in a hurry.

Shen Chu stopped the performance when there was no sound, and he and Li Di looked at each other awkwardly. Only then did he realize that the face on his body was flushed red, and the reaction from his body was also quite embarrassing.
