The long-lost Nanjing city is even more prosperous than when the white-famous crane left.

After Bai Minghe's ship arrived at the Nanjing Wharf, even his ship waited for half an hour before it had a berth. This absolutely privileged class in Nanjing did not have berths, so you can imagine how full the line of the pier in Nanjing was.

Seeing the white-famous crane's ship waiting for the berth, the merchants who were originally cursing were also calm.

On the dock, there is no longer a pure manpower transport. Countless pulley groups show the wisdom of the Ming people. And the porters who lined up and down like ants were also showing the persistence of the Japanese.

One stone of goods will cost two to ten cents to disembark. It depends on the value of the goods, the degree of fragility, the size of the packaging, etc.

There are special signs, and of course the foreman will also have a bargaining process with the owner.

The Japanese are low in size, but many Japanese carry two packs of silk at a time, which is at least one and a half stones. A few can carry three packs. According to modern weight, this weighs more than one hundred kilograms.

The goods were piled onto the carriage, and someone threw one or two signs.

The Japanese carrying the goods hung the special small steel plate on the belt on the waist, poured a few bowls of cold water into a big mouth, and then started queuing up to board the ship, preparing to move the goods again.

"These Japanese people are still stable!" Bai Minghe asked Wang Cheng who came to pick up the ship.

Wang Cheng grilled a cigar for the white-famous crane and replied with a smile: "If it weren't for the workshop's work, I'm afraid that the fight could be fought on the dock. These Japanese people were really hard-working, working from morning to night. The record of this dock was from the Japanese. One person earned more than 300 cents a day."

As he said that, Wang Cheng pointed to the one with a red vest not far away.

This red vest is for the most outstanding porters here, which are difficult to move large and fragile goods. Basically, they are given to people with strong strength and skillful skills. Even if you want to use hanging cables, it is a technical job. How to hang cables and how to scoop goods are all a matter of attention. What's more, without a single piece of strength, you can't get the cargo from the ship warehouse to the deck.

"Don't owe you wages, don't let people say that we are bullying people in the Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Cheng responded. There is no need to explain. The rules on the dock are very strict. Basically, wages are paid daily, and even if you don’t have cash, there is a passbook. This thing is what the people from the money house make the bill here on the spot.

Although a person costs more than 100,000 cents a day, there are more than 20,000 Japanese people on this pier alone.

"What do you think about Fuzhou?" Bai Minghe asked Wang Cheng again.

Wang Cheng grabbed it in his ear and whispered: "I'm killed, there's nothing to say."

"The capital city has also sent someone to come and ask Wang Cheng to come over. The Ming Dynasty rules are still there, Wang Ao is in charge, and you can do the rest." As he spoke, the ship had already docked into the berth.

The maid, the luggage was slowly getting off the boat, and Bai Minghe had already boarded the carriage and returned home first.

Originally, Bai Minghe wanted to ask Wan Xueer to accompany him, but Wan Xueer said: There is no need to let Bai Minghe and others for a lowly concubine. This is not self-deprecating, but the rules of a large family. Go back with him and let the eldest lady see it!

That's right, but I just feel a little cold.

When he returned to the mansion, Sun Yuanjun brought the whole mansion out to greet him. This was also the rule of the Ming Dynasty. It would be rude to not welcome him when the head of the family came back. Sun Yuanjun cared more about the rules of these nobles than Wan Xueer.

A big family is a big family. If it is a small family, it is a nouveau riche, and rules are rules.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law. I heard that the emperor has beaten you." Huaiyu came up nervously.

"No, how could I hit me? I just enforced the family law, and the law should not be abolished!" Bai Minghe said to Huaiyu, your mouth is going to be controlled by someone, and you dare to say this nonsense, and if you make people pass it wrong, isn't this a big trouble?

Wang Cheng understood the meaning of Bai Minghe, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, long live to write a letter to Princess Yongqing. The letter praised the adults for knowing the general and knowing advance and retreating."

Bai Minghe smiled and touched Huaiyu's head, and Huaiyu's face turned red and avoided.

After entering the main house, Qinghe, as a concubine, was going to come over to kowtow, and this rule was unavoidable. Bai Minghe then said to Sun Yuanjun: "Mr. Yuan, you have received my letter!"

"I received it, and I have refused the Xie family. I just said that it was a long time to marry the Bai family in Meixian. This is something I don't think about, and our family is not suitable for marrying a wealthy merchant. After receiving my husband's letter, I sent someone to send it back to Guanzhong. I guess I have received the letter in the past two days."

In fact, the letter arrived at Xi'an Prefecture yesterday, and not only did the Bai family receive the letter from Bai Minghe, but also the Wang family receive the letter from Wang Shi.

While Bai Minghe was chatting with Sun Yuanjun, Wang Shi's wife also received Bai Minghe's grandmother, Bai Minghe's parents, and uncle at her home in Meixian County.

Wang Shi's wife is old and can't even say a few words in full, but her appearance represents the attitude of the Wang family.

The person who is really responsible for receiving Wang Shi's eldest son is the wife of the eldest son. In terms of age, he is of the same generation as Bai Minghe's grandmother. The two old ladies have also told her that in recent years, the Bai family and children with status in the Wang family have married, and they will also show their faces.

"We sisters cannot prove that we are a relative of the two families of Bai Wang. Now they are their grandsons, but they don't know what to do." Mrs. Wang held Mrs. Bai's hand and said in a mess. The old lady came from the Liu family in Guanzhong, and she was still the aunt of the second wife of Bai Minghe.

"We should also come and ask the old sister what she meant in these six rituals, so that she can feel at ease."

The six rituals are usually obtained by marrying a righteous wife.

But when the identities of men and women are of special rank, even if they are concubines, they must have these six rites. This is the recognition of the identity of the mother-in-law. If they are concubines, it may not be. But this is the eldest son and great-granddaughter of the Wang family. It is also a famous bead in the Wang family's hand, and it is also a proud daughter of heaven who is over 100 miles away in Guanzhong.

"A wild boy who can't even recite the Book of Songs by marrying someone as a concubine."

Wang Yuchen just learned that his family was planning to marry her, but he never expected that it was Bai Minghe. This Bai boy, who used mud to dirty her New Year's clothes when he was a child, was unwilling to do so.

"This happened in that year." The Queen Mother smiled: "It seems to be eight years or seven years."

"It was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Zhengtong, and when I was enjoying the lanterns by the river! On the fourth day of the seventh day of the nineth year of Zhengtong, he went down the river to catch fish and stole the melons from our Wang family vegetable garden! And..." Wang Yuchen said angrily, telling all his childhood memories one by one.

The Queen Mother smiled even more happily: "It's twelve years, you still remember it."

"If you don't marry, you won't marry, you won't marry! And..." Wang Yuchen thought of Sun Yuanjun, a beautiful girl who was two years older than her, came to Guanzhong with her family when she was a child, and also participated in poetry and painting meetings together, and was better than her everywhere. She could recite the Three Character Classic at the age of four, recite the hundred families at the age of five, and write the thousand characters of dictation at the age of six.

Sun Yuanjun brought a lot of pressure to Wang Yuchen.

Strictly speaking, Bai Qi is also from Mei County, but in this era, the land of the Bai family was mostly in Qishan County, so the mansion was also built in Qishan County. Because the household registration was no longer in Mei County, it was impossible to claim to be the Bai family of Qishan, which was called the Bai family of Guanzhong. The Bai Qi Temple was still in Mei County.

The fields between the Bai family and the Wang family are separated by the Wei River.

The two families have rivers in their territory and often work together to repair them, one is to prevent water from happening, and the other is to repair the docks. Festivals such as the Shangyuan Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are the largest in the local area, so the two families are separated by the Wei River and hold lantern festivals, and farmers go to markets, etc., either the Bai family on the north bank or the Wang family on the south bank.

In ancient times, if there were no major conflicts between life and death, the big clans would basically get along very well.

Especially when the Wang family was a scholarly family, Bai Minghe also went to the Wang family's academy to study. The Wang family's Confucian family naturally knew politeness and was humble. The Bai family knew that the family was not as good as the Wang family, and they also had a bit of humility, which made the two families have a harmonious relationship for a hundred years. The elders just smiled at the fight between children.

Wang Yuchen still wants to cause trouble!

The prince came in and said with a cold face: "You have to marry, and you have to marry if you don't marry. My grandfather sent someone from the capital to send a message. Long live your life and nodded with Bai Minghe. Originally, there was the eldest daughter of the Xie family in Yuyao. Long live to marry our Wang family. This is grace. If you make trouble again, the family law will not be tolerated!"

Wang Yuchen cried suddenly. When did she, who had been spoiled in her hands, ever suffered such heavy words?

"Don't cry, let's ask for more brides and let the white crane prepare more jewelry for you."

"I want the East China Sea Big Pearl, I want the Thirteen Holy Pearls of the South China Sea!" Wang Yuchen shouted.

"A girl who is unpromising!" The father of the king also realized that his daughter understood the truth and knew that the emperor's order should not be violated. However, when he heard his daughter's crying, he smiled and said, "The East China Sea Big Pearl and the Thirteen Holy Pearl are in the White Horse Pavilion, and they are not treasures at all." After saying that, the father of the king took out a small box from his sleeve: "Princess Liyuan asked someone to bring it to you."

After saying that, Wang's father turned his eyes and asked his wife to persuade Wang Yuchen again to stop making trouble.

To be a concubine for others, it depends on who is to be a concubine for.

When Wang Yuchen saw his father going out, he stopped crying. He reached out to grab the box and was frightened when he opened it. Who had seen a golden pearl in the Ming Dynasty? Each one was at the level of a pearl.

"This is the Luzon Golden Pearl!" Mrs. Wang is knowledgeable and deserves to be the wife of a prominent family.

This level of pearls can't be bought with a weight of 100 times the weight of gold, and it is simply a treasure that is inexpensive.

"I've given it to my mother." Wang Yuchen stuffed all the boxes into his mother's hands. Wang Yuchen refused, but Wang Yuchen said, "Anyway, you have sold me. Since Baiminghe bought me, I'll ask Baiminghe for another box."

Using the word "sell" is naturally a pissing word from my daughter's family.

The front yard is still talking about the dowry, which is the face that the in-laws gave to their parents. No matter what the relationship is, they must not save in this regard. 100,000 taels of silver is already a huge amount of money for ordinary families, but in Baiminghe's account book, this is not even a fraction of it.
