Mrs. Rebirth

Although the port after dark is not as busy as during the day, it is not without people. After all, the world when ships go out to sea and return to the shore is not fixed.

Walking along the way, Zuo Shaoqing saw many faces with different expressions, but they all had one thing in common, the sweaty cloth stuck to their bodies, their faces were tired after a day's work, and they were reluctant to leave in order to earn more money. go.

He saw with his own eyes a young man reluctantly pushed aside the wet cloth on his shoulders, exposing his bloody back. Judging from the slightly fair skin of the man, this man should have just been a porter not long ago.

Although Zuo Shaoqing had an unsatisfactory life in her previous life, she never suffered from this kind of suffering. Seeing these people struggling to survive?

"Hey, two more boats have docked. Thirty people are here... Hurry up, it's Dasheng Company!"

"Huh?" Zuo Shaoqing heard about Dasheng's business and followed the crowd to the beach. If he remembered correctly, this was his own business.

Thinking about it, the last time Ke Youliang went to sea was when he got married, and he should be back after a few months.

He grabbed Lu Zheng's hand, whispered something in his ear, and then saw Lu Zheng turned his head and ordered Song Hanlin: "You take a few people to the front to meet them, and let them pull the cargo unloaded from the ship directly. Go to Caobang."

Song Hanlin was confused, so Zuo Shaoqing had no choice but to explain: "The Dasheng company is my property, and the stewards on the ship don't know that I'm here. You go and find their stewards."

Song Hanlin suddenly realized, and thought to himself, no wonder this woman can put on a lot of red makeup when she gets married. She really has a lot of money.

Although the current reputation of the Dasheng Company has not yet reached the point where everyone knows it, it is almost a household name in Kyoto, because they have seen many things sold there in Zuo Zhuangyuan's dowry.

This can be regarded as a different kind of propaganda, which Zuo Shaoqing did not think of at the time.

Zuo Shaoqing and Lu Zheng found a clean teahouse and sat down. Because of the heavy flow of people around the port, there are various types of shops, especially the tea houses and restaurants, which are mostly prepared for the coolies of businessmen who have returned from overseas.

People who have been wandering at sea for several months must have limited food. When they return to the shore, they will probably have a good meal first.

The location of the teahouse that Zuo Shaoqing found was very good, facing the two merchant ships of Dasheng Company in the port, and he could still see boxes of goods being unloaded from the ships.

Rows of carriages were parked outside the port, waiting to pull these precious and rare goods into the city.

Ke Youliang's short body was buried by the crowd, and he yelled loudly: "Slow down, slow down, it contains high-quality spices, if you spill a little bit, you won't be able to pay for it if you sell it!...Wait, wait, don't worry about the things on that boat." Touch, rough hands and feet, what should I do if I break it?..."

When Song Hanlin found him following the sound, Ke Youliang was instructing someone he could trust to move things from the second boat. The heavy metal box was covered with an oilcloth, blocking the eyes of curious people.

"Guan Ke?" Song Hanlin called tentatively.

Ke Youliang wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked at the person who called him. Seeing that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, but had an extraordinary temperament, he raised a smile and asked, "What does this strong man want from me? If you want to buy something, you have to wait until tomorrow. Now There's really no room for it."

Ke Youliang had gone on the ship several times, and met many merchants who were waiting to buy goods at the port, so he didn't care.

Song Hanlin looked down at himself, and thought to himself, with my attitude, do I look like a profiteer?

"Guan Ke, my wife is waiting in the teahouse in front, let you go over there." Ke Youliang was just a businessman, and Song Hanlin was not too polite.

"Ma'am?" Ke Youliang has never seen any wife who can come to such a mixed port openly.

"Yes, my wife's surname is Zuo, and it is said that she is your employer." Song Hanlin was satisfied to see the middle-aged man's face change, and said: "The master asked you to send these goods to the Cao Gang, come with me first, don't Let the master wait for a long time."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!" He pulled an assistant beside him, gave some instructions, and then followed Song Hanlin out.

When he saw Zuo Shaoqing, Ke Youliang's dark face was full of flattery. He didn't ignore the stalwart man sitting beside Zuo Shaoqing. He could naturally guess his identity from the intimate posture of the two of them. .

He saluted and greeted Ann, and asked with a smile: "Why is the boss here? It really flatters the villain."

Zuo Shaoqing saw that his lips were chapped and his whole body became thinner, so she poured him a cup of tea with her own hands, "Let's have a cup of tea first. I happened to pass by here and heard that you were back, so I stopped to have a look."

Ke Youliang held the teacup in both hands, and drank it one sip at a time. The life at sea was simply unbearable. How long has it been since he drank such good tea?

"My master, don't worry, although we encountered pirates this time, all the people you gave were very powerful, and there were not too many casualties." Those people were the ones Zuo Shaoqing asked Lu Zheng to come, because this time they were for Going to the gold mines, he had to be careful.

"Okay, bring people and goods to Caobang, let everyone have a good rest first, the Lord will reward you!"

"Okay." Ke Youliang smiled and narrowed his eyes, his exhaustion disappeared, and he returned to his original shrewd and obscene appearance.

Zuo Shaoqing came out of the teahouse, and the bright moonlight fell on the port, making people see the busy scene clearly.

A pair of porters walked by with big bags on their backs. Some were strong and some were skinny. Every step was very difficult.

Zuo Shaoqing recognized that the goods carried by these people were not from his own merchant ship, presumably another merchant ship had docked.

A thin figure fell to the ground, the heavy bag hit the ground with a "bang", and there was a slight shattering sound from inside.

"Damn it, I can't even do this well!" A man in charge rushed up, unwrapped the bag carefully, and saw that a piece of good wood incense inside was split into two pieces, and kicked the young man in pain. With a kick, he began to curse and curse.

Zuo Shaoqing saw the young man lying on the ground, and recognized from the clothes on his body that it was the one who had seen his shoulder injured before. At this time, he was curled up on the ground and let the steward beat and kicked him.

Zuo Shaoqing didn't think he was a soft-hearted person, but at this moment, he felt a little sympathy.

"Hey..." A sigh came to his ears, Zuo Shaoqing turned his head to look, and saw an old man standing beside him, who had set up a noodle stall by the side of the road.

"Why is uncle sighing?"

Seeing Zuo Shaoqing's handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, the old man explained: "Hey, that child was also born as a young master, what a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"His family was originally a wealthy family, and his father and brother did a huge business. Unfortunately, he never came back after going out to sea. It's been almost a year. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

"Then why did he end up in such a state?" Even if there are no elders in the family of a rich family, it shouldn't be reduced to the point of being a coolie, right?

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite!" The old man shook his head and sighed, but didn't say much.

There are many pedestrians around, and Zuo Shaoqing has good hearing, so he heard the answer quickly. It turned out that this young man used to be a rich kid who cared for pleasure, but after his father and brother had an accident, the family property was taken over by the clan uncle, and he and his biological mother were taken over by the clan uncle. Kicked out, and have since had to fend for themselves.

It's a pity that he doesn't have any skills, and his uncle is secretly playing tricks, so he can't find a decent job at all, so he can only move heavy things in this port for a living.

This matter seems to be no secret in Crane City. Everyone's attitude towards this young man is to avoid sympathy and ridicule. Obviously, this former rich kid is not popular.

Zuo Shaoqing's eyes fell on the young man who got up from the ground, and when he saw his face, his expression suddenly changed, "He..."

Lu Zheng obviously also noticed Zuo Shaoqing's abnormality, followed his line of sight, frowned, and soon let go, put his arm around Zuo Shaoqing's shoulder and said, "Let's go."

Perhaps, he should ask someone to investigate Zuo Xiaolang's life experience.

Zuo Shaoqing returned to the Caobang in despair, and when she entered the door, a small meatball hugged her thigh, and a clear and grievous "Daddy..." came to her ears, which made people feel weak.

He picked up Little Thing, stared at his facial features for a long time, and had to admit that no matter who saw the young man just now, he could see that his facial features were similar to Little Thing. Shao Qing didn't believe it.

The downfall of that young man should have happened this year, but Zuo Xiaolang should have been abandoned shortly after he was born. Thinking about it this way, there are many twists and turns in it.

"I'll let someone find out." Lu Zheng said from the side.

"Well, no matter what, the little thing is our son now, and no one who hurt him will be let go!" Although he was able to meet Zuo Xiaolang because of his tragic experience, those who hurt him also Unforgivable.

The father and son had been separated for a whole day, and Zuo Xiaolang became even more attached to Zuo Shaoqing. Even when he was taking a bath, he had to stay by the side, with a hint of grievance and panic in his eyes.

Zuo Shaoqing knew that because of his departure, he felt very insecure. Maybe he didn't remember what happened when he was abandoned, but these days, he should be able to understand that he is different from other children.

As soon as Zuo Shaoqing stepped out of the bathtub, before he put on his clothes, he was hugged by the little thing around his neck. His jumping ability was really high and accurate, and his hands were so strong that it was impossible to drag him down.

"Come down first, how about letting daddy put on his clothes?" Zuo Shaoqing asked helplessly.

"Daddy, hug...don't leave!"

"If Daddy doesn't leave, just put on some clothes..." Seeing Zuo Xiaolang staring at him with bright eyes, Zuo Shaoqing had no choice but to hold him with one hand and pull the clothes with one hand.

A generous hand held his waist from behind, took the clothes from his hand, and then tore off the small thing hanging from his arms and threw it on the ground.

"You move gently!" After all, he is a child, and he is not afraid of falling if he is thrown around all day long.

"I can't die!" Lu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zuo Shaoqing standing naked outside the screen, and as soon as his mind was agitated, he saw an unsightly little person hanging on his chest and shamelessly buried on his chest , is it tolerable or unbearable?

"Don't let him take a bath with you in the future!"

Zuo Shaoqing gave him a sideways glance, and before he was about to get angry, he replied with a smile: "Okay."

"Don't hug him without clothes!"

"He jumped up by himself." Zuo Shaoqing said without acknowledging responsibility.

Lu Zheng glared at Zuo Xiaolang who was obediently sitting on the ground, his drooping head was like a wronged puppy.

"He hasn't seen me for a day, so it's normal to be a little excited. Isn't it like this for children?" Zuo Shaoqing fastened his pockets, picked Zuo Xiaolang up, and patted his back to comfort him: "Okay, Daddy will take me with you." You go to wash and sleep."

"Don't worry about your father, he's just a vinegar bucket..." Zuo Shaoqing leaned closer to the little thing's ear and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Lu Zheng came over with sharp eyes, staring at Zuo Shaoqing with unclear meaning.

"I mean, your father actually cares about you very much, but he has a cold face and a warm heart, and his mouth is bean curd. Let's ignore him."

Zuo Xiaolang's comprehension ability is limited, and he can't understand too profound words, but he can understand what Zuo Shaoqing wants to express. He stuck his head out from Zuo Shaoqing's shoulder, and looked curiously at the man he should call his father. The man, seeing that man's cold eyes, shrank his head back in fright.

Zuo Xiaolang has already deeply engraved Lu Zheng's cruelty in his young heart, and he won't change his impression just because of Zuo Shaoqing's few words, but...it doesn't seem to be that scary.

Lu Zheng lay on the bed, listening to the sound of water coming from the cubicle, and Zuo Shaoqing's gentle voice, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, his eyes softened.

Although multiple children are a bit of an eyesore, it is undeniable that this feeling is more like a home, which makes people feel warm.
