Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth one year on the sea in January
I don't know when the boat started moving again.
Soon, the two women in the cabin who had always been dissatisfied with each other clearly saw the expression on each other's face even if they were speechless.
The vague movement from outside was not only the sound of waves slapping on the hull, but also the noise of noisy people. The lively movement was far from what these pirates on the boat could make.
Then, the entire hull was shocked heavily and stopped completely, and the sound outside came in more clearly. The expressions on the faces of the two people were very complicated - this was the shore.
Where did the ships arrive? What fate would be waiting for them? Many fears and worries suddenly surged out, but there was a kind of emotion that could not be seen on their faces.
That's luck!
For them, any change that changes their current situation is probably a bad thing.
The hatch door creaked and opened from the outside. The crowded voices and dazzling light rushed in. Several women subconsciously took a few steps back and tightly attached to the bulkhead.
A figure appeared at the door of the cabin, put the food and water in his hands at the door, looked into the cabin, said something they couldn't understand, then shook his head, closed the cabin door and left.
The woman in the cabin walked forward with a tacit understanding, took half of the food in various ways, and then muttered in a low voice with her companion.
The young man who delivered food to them every day was familiar with the women in the cabin. They even knew that although they had fallen into prison until now, no more miserable things happened. I am afraid that the young man protected them to a large extent. After all, this young man seemed to have a great status among pirates.
However, if the young man can protect them, they are now unsure of whether they can do so.
Damn it, why do you have to speak inconveniently? If you can explain your identity to these pirates, maybe they won’t have to worry so much next time.
The two women in the cabin thought hatefully while choking and eating hard food that was difficult to swallow.
Outside the cabin, Su Xiu stood on the deck and saw his brother coming from the dock with a smile. He could still see the roof of the Sihai Commercial Bank here. It seemed that they had returned to the commercial bank when they got ashore yesterday. The errand was finally over. Next time, they would have to let that boy Liu Meng go out. The days on the sea are really not the life that people live.
He raised his head and looked at the pennant flag flying on the flagpole. The huge word "Four Seas" fluttered on the flag. The ship beneath him was still trembling when he entered the port, fearing that the navy's people would come to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, several patrol navy ships saw their ships and did not even mean to approach and ask.
The ship entered the port in a daze.
"Su Jing!" Yuan Youtang and Chen Xuan shouted at him on the shore. He smiled and waved at them, almost trotting off the boat.
"You are coming so fast, why didn't you see your ship?"
"The boat is going to Xiaochen Village, so many goods on the boat are going to come down!" Yuan Youtang and Chen Xuan looked very excited.
"Then why don't you stare at that side!" Su Xiu frowned: "I'm just a few foreign prisoners, nothing is there. There are all wealth over there. What should I do if there is a mistake?"
"We have our people there to help us!" Yuan Youtang smiled and said, "You don't know. We have been out for a few months. Now Tianjin has a thousand-household office in our Nanzhen Fushi. It's not just a few of our miserable brothers here. We have many people who need!"
"Really?" Su Xiu's eyes lit up, he looked back at the flagpole on the boat, and seemed to feel a little clear in his heart.
"Where is our leader?" Su Xiu followed them and walked towards the Sihai Commercial Bank, asking, "Will we allocate all our small flags to the Qianhu House here? Can't we do that job of Lord Xu?"
"Hehehe!" Yuan Youtang and Chen Xuan laughed for a while: "I'll tell me something, don't jump up..."
"Tell me!" Su Xiu said disrespectfully.
"Our leader is now a hundred households!" The two of them looked happy. Su Xiu was stunned and immediately knew why they were so happy. If Liu Meng really became a hundred households, wouldn't that mean that these people would rise so much with such a rise.
"This is really a good thing!" He couldn't help but be happy. The three of them went to sea for many days, and they were trying hard to get things done. Their boss has become a hundred households, and they don't care about the general flag. It's okay if everyone is a small flag alone!
"However, our leader has not become a hundred households in Tianjin Wei Qianhu District, Nanzhen Fushi Office!" Yuan Youtang smiled mysteriously: "It is the hundred households in the personal guards around Lord Xu. I have said a long time ago that Lord Xu is not the leader who usually values us, but I didn't expect that before we finish a job, our leader will be promoted. I want to envy him, but I can't even envy him!"
"What about Yang Baihu?"
"It's become Yang Qianhu!"
Su Xiu was in a daze. He seemed to have only been away for a few months. What happened? In the blink of an eye, it seemed that except for the few brothers who went out to sea, the others he knew had changed so much.
Is this "one month on the sea and a year on earth"?
"Who is the decision now on the Sihai Business Company?"
"Where is Jintai, but it's a quick turnover. I heard from Manager Lin that the Sihai Commercial Bank will not need to be managed by our yamen in person in the future. Naturally, the head office will send people to operate it. Brothers from our yamen can take care of it on weekdays!"
"Shopkeeper Lin is also here in Tianjin!" Su Xiu was a little numb. This should have surprised him, but under the impact of the previous news, it seemed that Manager Lin came here from the capital, which was not a strange thing.
"It's not just Manager Lin!"
Yuan Youtang and Chen Xuan lowered their voices: "Sir, too. We met the adults last night. It seems that the adults are very concerned about our brothers' errands. When you meet the adults later, you should be careful when you speak. Don't say everything you shouldn't say, say everything..."
"I'm going to meet the adults?" Su Xiu was stunned: "In Tianjin?"
"How fresh do you say!" Yuan Youtang and Chen Xuan looked at him and whispered: "I was tired all night yesterday. Isn't it good for our brothers to sleep in broad daylight? Is it because of this? I'll remind you. Brother Su, Mr. Su, yesterday, the adults seemed not very satisfied with our brothers. If you say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing today, then the hard work of our three brothers over the past few months will be wasted. If you ask, you must think it through before you talk!"
