Brother Beggar refuses to beg

As the saying goes, "There is no way out when there are many mountains and rivers, and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers." Yin Su, who was rejected for two consecutive days, did not expect that he would win the favor of Chen Shanzhang with an ancient poem, and successfully won the first order.

"You published the peerless words of the deceased senior to the public, and you didn't take it for yourself. I believe in your character." Chen Shanchang said, and ordered the shopkeeper Jiang to take the payment and deliver it to him.

Holding the bank note and the shopping list, he met Xie Chen outside the city gate, and the two rented an ox cart to go home.They agreed to go south by boat together. Qing Xiao could take it with him, but it was not easy for Zhuifeng to take it away. The ox cart was full of bought horse feed.

After they leave, they will send Zhuifeng to Zhao Xing's family for foster care for a period of time. Yin Xiaomei is still a child of thirteen or fourteen, and Yin Su is worried about handing over everything in the family to her.The house has not been finished yet, Zhao Xing and Li Zheng promised to help supervise the work when they have time, so that he can rest assured.

Xie Chen has already ordered the goods that need to be transported to Jiangnan, and the cargo ship has also been ordered, and the ship will leave the day after tomorrow.Tomorrow, merchants will deliver the goods to the dock. Before sailing, they need to check the goods, find workers to load the ship, and confirm that everything is correct before departure.

Merchant ships of big trading houses generally would not accept the business of small merchants like Yin Su. Fortunately, they didn't have much goods, so they found a merchant who mainly ran passenger ships, and gave them some extra money to bring their goods on board.

This kind of boat will only depart once a month or two, and will stop in some towns along the way. Some people disembark and some board.It's a bit like the bus model, but the stay time will be longer, and passenger ships will also add supplies at these terminals.

In fact, this kind of passenger ship is relatively safe. Generally speaking, water bandits like to rob cargo ships. There is more oil and less trouble.Passenger ships are mainly used to transport people between the two places. The harvest may not be as large as that of cargo ships, and it is easy to kill people.Most of the water bandits are just looking for money, robbing passenger ships is thankless, more things are worse than less things.

The next day after loading the goods, they set off on time.The not-so-small passenger ship sailed away from Yecheng Wharf, entered the waters of the Ming River, and went down the river.

Life on the boat was quite new at the beginning. The boatmen were good at swimming, and some of them were born as fishermen.

Occasionally, they would catch some fish while the boat was docked and sell it to the guest officers on the boat. Of course, this was a secret transaction, which belonged to the gray income of the boatmen.

After Yin Su found out about this, he ordered two fresh fish from the boatmen. The fish were cleaned and dissected, and cooked with sauerkraut brought by the boatman himself. It was obviously a pickled fish that he was familiar with.Because the river water is clear and free from pollution, the meat quality and taste of the fish are better.

On the first day, Yin Su had a good time, and took Xie Chen to the deck to see the scenery. Most of the strange mountains and dangerous peaks on both sides of the bank were dark blue.Even in the cold winter, the mountain peaks are still verdant, with only a small number of trees that have lost their leaves among them.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Yin Su finally discovered a cruel fact that he was a little seasick.

The feeling of dizziness and nausea is getting worse, and it is really torture and uncomfortable for him to wake up from time to time when he is drowsy.

The bed in the boat is very narrow and can only be slept by one person. The one-on-one upper room is more spacious, but it has been booked long ago, and the price is very high.

The two of them are in a double room, which is more spacious than the soft sleeper compartment of the train, and it is already a relatively good room.

Xie Chen quickly noticed his abnormal silence, and he was completely different from the way he was pulling him to see the scenery during the day, so he could only light a small piece of candle given by the passenger ship to check his condition.

"Chen'er, you don't need..." Yin Su suddenly turned around when he was about to speak, "My own bed? I'm sure I'm not used to being alone, right? Let's squeeze together and sleep together."

After asking and answering nonsense, he pulled Xie Chen who was sitting by the bed to lie down, and the two of them leaned sideways, facing each other on a narrow bed, and Xie Chen didn't even have time to say a word from the beginning to the end. .

Yin Su originally wanted to say that he should not worry about himself, but as soon as Xie Chen approached, a faint fragrance came from his body, and the strange scent of tea lightened his dazed head, and he felt much more comfortable.

"You smell so good." Yin Su murmured softly, hugged Xie Chen, buried his head in the lower part of his neck, rubbed the tip of his nose against his beautiful collarbone, and took a deep breath .

A little itchiness came from the close position of the two, Xie Chen couldn't help trembling slightly, but he didn't push him away, he raised his hand hesitantly, caressed his back, and asked: "Is this better?"

Yin Su muffled a word, and when the physical discomfort subsided, he realized that his performance was really too weak.Falcon training is no match for his wife, hunting is no match for his wife, even when he goes out he gets seasick and needs a hug from his wife.

Really poisonous.

He buried his head in front of Xie Chen's chest, the tip of his nose was filled with a faint fragrance of tea, his mind was in a mess, he felt very refreshed and extremely ashamed.

It was a sweet torture to marry such a capable daughter-in-law.

The passenger ship kept stopping and going along the way. After about ten days, they had successfully arrived in Jiangnan Road, and within two days, they would be able to reach the terminal Jinling City, which is still a distance away from the Dongjing City they were actually going to. distance.

However, it is much more convenient to go to Dongjing City, which is located on the coast, when you get here. Yin Su often buys seafood on the boat, and he has become acquainted with the owner of the boat. Dongjing.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year. Are you sure you want to go to Dongjing City? During the New Year's Eve, all the shops will be closed, and you may not be able to do business. However, I heard that there are some strange-looking barbarians in that city. year." The boss of the boat shook his head, looking incomprehensible.

Yin Su smiled and did not speak, and disembarked with Xie Chen to wait for a change of ship.

The reason for going to Dongjing City was because Yin Su wanted to try his luck, to see if he could find goods that could make him rich from the hands of these foreigners who came from the ocean.

Five days later, the ship arrived at the port of Dongjing City.

However, Yin Su was disappointed in the end.

The ocean-going ships brought spices and the country's characteristic agricultural and sideline products, as well as agate, gemstones and other items.They can't afford many things. Agricultural and sideline products are not cheap, and the price of spices is also high. Only wealthy people can afford them, let alone agate gems.

Yin Su thought about picking out a few seeds of agricultural products not commonly seen in Yecheng to take back, including pomegranates, figs, jasmine, peas, tomatoes, etc.The foreign foods of the Dayuan Dynasty were a bit strange. Some were introduced to China relatively late, and their cultivation had been widely promoted here, such as sweet potatoes, but some were not yet.

He managed to find an English-speaking foreign businessman and spent his entire life eloquently exaggerating the benefits of tea before selling the Bashan sparrow tongue he brought.

The foreign businessman named Phillus was very happy to see that he could speak English fluently, but some rare words were difficult to express. He basically came here to learn Dayuanchao Mandarin. Most of the locals They disdain to learn Fanbang dialect.Not only was Yin Su able to communicate with him without barriers, but he was also able to chat with him about some situations in Europe and the Dayuan Dynasty, which was beyond amazing.

He repeatedly asked Yin Su to stay and wanted him to be his interpreter, but Yin Su politely declined his warm invitation, and after delivering the goods, he took Xie Chen on a tour of Dongjing City.

At the beginning, Dongjing City was just a small town on the coast, basically equivalent to a village. Some foreign explorers discovered that this area was the legendary Dayuan Dynasty. After that, more and more foreign businessmen and envoys came one after another. Log in from here.

Slowly turned a fishing village into a large port and became an important economic center in the Jiangnan area. Porcelain and tea were continuously sold overseas from here, opening a maritime silk road.

Many foreign businessmen or aristocrats didn't want to leave after they came, and began to build houses and settle here. Some buildings in the town were influenced by foreign cultures, with a touch of ancient European architectural style.

Yin Su even found a church.

The time they came was during the Chinese New Year. Taking advantage of the first two days, Xie Chen went to the dental store to find a small yard and rent it for a month.Fortunately, Dongjing City is an overseas trade port, so it is so easy to find a place to live. Otherwise, during the New Year's Day when everyone is closed, I am afraid they can only find foreigners' hotels to take them in.

Yin Su is used to the New Year without the taste of the New Year in modern times, so it doesn't matter, but Xie Chen will definitely feel uncomfortable.

On New Year's Eve, Xie Chen personally cooked the New Year's Eve dinner, and Yin Su knew that he could really "be able to go to the battlefield and go to the kitchen".It's a pity that because of the poor conditions, they can only cook some ordinary dishes, Xie Chen still has some regrets.

Eating the delicious dishes cooked by his daughter-in-law and looking at other unsold goods in the corner of the room, Yin Su felt his nose sore.Chinese New Year is the most solemn event for the ancients. Not only could he not give Xie Chen a stable and comfortable life after marriage, but he wanted Xie Chen to accompany him on this important day of family reunion. He was really ashamed.

"Chen'er, you..."

Yin Su wanted to ask him if he would regret choosing such a useless self, but once he opened his mouth, he couldn't continue. He was very afraid that Xie Chen would regret it and leave him.

Xie Chen was biting a piece of fish that had been deboned, it was the best part of the fish that Yin Su helped him fix.He looked at Yin Su who was hesitant to speak, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Is there any dish that doesn't suit your appetite?"

"No, it's all good!" Yin Su didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately expressed his loyalty, but there was still a trace of frustration on his face that couldn't be concealed.

"At this time of the year, Xie's mansion has already been decorated with lights and festoons. My father and I have to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet. After a night, we didn't eat much delicious food. We were busy guarding against other people's stumbling blocks, or looking at other people. It's exhausting to sharpen your head and want to perform in front of the emperor," Xie Chen smiled helplessly, "Tonight is the first New Year's Eve we spend together. It's not lively enough, but comfortable enough. I'm very happy. joy."

Yin Su: What if the promised male protagonist can make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life?Shouldn't I introduce new species and new materials when others don't know the goods, pick up leaks at the port, and counterattack every minute?

Xie Chen: Sorry, my husband went to the wrong set. (drag away)
