After having breakfast on the second day, Ling Qingyu went to the main hall of the outer courtyard.

"It's so early in the head of Ling." Wang Xuanzhi said with irony while poking aside the tea in the tea bowl.

"It's early. If you don't have two adults, you can get more sleep today." Taking a seat in an empty seat, Ling Qingyu said: "Okay, let's talk about business. You will go to the place where you will go this time. The number of people, and rewards, give me a list."

"Ling Master is not angry anymore?" Cheng Jia smiled. The black line that was so angry yesterday is so refreshing today? Wouldn't it be the idea of ​​throwing us into the sea?

"I'm angry that you won't take my boat for nothing?" Ling Qingyu smiled and glanced at him.

"Let's get on the ship today to see what else we need to buy." Wang Xuanzhi said lightly.

"I'm sorry, you happened so suddenly. My ship was already full of cargo. You have so many people on board. You have to vacate it today." Ling Qingyu turned back and said to Bai Wei, "Here is it. I will change to a lighter cup of tea."

"Then tomorrow." Wang Xuanzhi put down the tea bowl.

"Tomorrow I have decided to go to see the Qiantang River tide, and I am not free." Ling Qingyu smiled.

"What do you mean by pushing three and blocking four like this?" The third person sitting in the lobby who had been ignored by Ling Qingyu said angrily.

"Is this adult?" Ling Qingyu asked with a smile.

"This is Master Hu, Shaoqing of Hongyou Temple, who sent us here specially." Cheng Jiadao, then turned around and said to Master Hu: "Master Hu, Master Ling is right, and we are not short of these few days. , On the contrary, it is the reward that the court ordered this time. I wonder if Master Hu has arranged it?"

Master Hu was taken aback, his eyes turned to Wang Xuanzhi. Didn't Wang Xiang say that he would use Ling's goods as a reward?

"Which, doesn't the Ling family have the goods? First lend it to the court for use, and when you come back, you can replenish it, can't you?" Mrs. Hu smiled.

"Haha." I knew Ling Qingyu's look, his eyes turned a little contemptuously on the faces of the three of them, and said: "All I brought this time are some low-grade porcelain, if it is to be a court reward , I’m afraid it will really hurt the prestige of the great Zhou.”

Master Hu was taken aback and wanted to speak. Wang Xuanzhi already said, "You go to Xu Chang for the items you want to bring this time, and you need Hangzhou Prefecture to arrange it."

"Yes, the next official will go to Master Xu." Responded, Master Hu got up and left.

"The two adults first arrived in Hangzhou Mansion. There must be a lot of appointments today. Then I won't disturb you. I hope to give me the number of people you are accompanying as soon as possible." Ling Qingyu smiled.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Wang Xuanzhi put the tea bowl aside and said.

"Of course I'm worried, my ship is a cargo ship. You suddenly come so many people, don't you want to sleep in the place? Or are you willing to sleep in the cargo hold?" Ling Qingyu widened his eyes.

"Did you sleep in the cargo hold on the ship?" a female voice intervened.

Ling Qingyu was taken aback, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a beautiful maid in a yellow shirt standing behind Wang Xuanzhi, staring at him angrily, smiled, and asked, "Which adult is this?"

"Shut up!" Wang Xuanzhi already shouted, and Banxue immediately pulled Banmei back.

"Isn't it an adult? I thought the maids of the Wang family were all carrying official positions." Ling Qingyu sneered, no longer looking at Wang Xuanzhi's face, and said to Cheng Jia: "There are some guest rooms on my boat, but they are all cramped. It’s too late to rebuild, how? You don’t have to wait for the newly built ship to come out."

"Ling master's joking, Jia naturally can do anything, the book case, the list of our personnel will be given to Ling master." Cheng Jia laughed.

The young man behind him immediately took out a pile of lists and handed them to Ying Shisan who had already reached out to take them.

"Here is the list of all the official personnel of the mission, as well as my personal entourage." Cheng Jia stood up and smiled at Ling Qingyu: "The weather is good today, don't you mind if Jia is with you?"

Ling Qingyu's face became stiff, and just about to speak, Cheng Jia already smiled at Wang Xuanzhi: "Brother Wang, I would trouble you to urge you more with Lord Xu. The emperor is too eager to urge you. This time will not be delayed. As for the ship, I and Ling It should be okay for the master to go and see, right?"

Ling Qingyu was speechless and had to get up.

Watching the two go away together, Wang Xuanzhi's face was completely dark, and he said coldly: "Come here, send Banmei back to Bianjing. I can't afford such a person."

"My son!" Banmei was startled, knelt down, and said: "My son, Banmei only saw that she was too rude, so... Please forgive Banmei this time."

Wang Xuanzhi snorted coldly and said, "Send away." He got up and walked away.

Banxue looked at Banmei who was crying to the ground, and shook his head slightly. Even if you are the gift from your wife to the son, this is not Bianjing, or Bianjing whose gatekeepers in the prime minister's mansion are bigger than the seventh-rank official.

"Is five days enough?"

"What?" Ling Qingyu retracted his gaze looking out the window and asked back.

"Five days to adjust, is that enough?" Cheng Jia smiled faintly.

"Enough." Ling Qingyu nodded.

"The emperor just wants spices, as long as we get the spices he wants, we can go back to sail, I, try not to cause you trouble." Cheng Jiawei smiled.

"The Wangs are on the boat, it is impossible not to cause trouble." Ling Qingyu looked out the window again.

"Jia has always wanted to visit Fanwai. The head of Ling has been running for so long in Fanwai. I don't know when he can be Jia's guide?" Cheng Jia smiled.

Ling Qingyu had to turn his head back again and said, "You are the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so naturally someone will receive you."

"Did you say that you are going to Qiantang to watch the tide?" Cheng Jia asked.

"If you say you want to go together, then I won't go." Ling Qingyu's fur suddenly stood up.

"It really makes Jia sad." Cheng Jia lowered his eyebrows, covered the expression in his eyes, and sighed.

Ling Qingyu stopped talking, turned his head and looked out the window.

Lingjia’s wharf is some distance away from the Hangzhou Mansion Wharf, which extends from the official wharf.

When the carriage reached the intersection, it stopped. Ling Qingyu stopped after getting off the carriage, thinking about what excuse he would use to prevent Cheng Jia from entering.

"Jia won't go in, I'll wait for you at the tea stall over there." Cheng Jia got out of the carriage behind her and said lightly.

Ling Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at him, and saw that his brows were crooked, with a smile on his face, and he said: "Okay, I will take you to see the tide tomorrow."

Cheng Jia smiled unconsciously, and when she saw her leading people down the path, he walked to the tea stand by the pier and found a table to sit down.

The book case has rushed over and wiped all the tables and chairs carefully. After Cheng Jia sat down, he said, "My son, it's not very clean here. Why don't you take your own home in the car?"

Cheng Jia shook his head and said, "No, I will taste the taste here."

The shop brought up tea and snacks, looked at it carefully, and hurried back away.

Looking at the muddy big-name tea, Cheng Jia's heart suddenly remembered what Ling Qingyu said once. She said, what is the young lady of the family? They are all piled up with money. I only know the joy of enjoyment, I don’t know the grains, I don’t know the crops, except Fenghuaxueyue, where I know a little survival skill, the wealth in the family is earned by the fathers desperately, and then put the money at home to pile all kinds of Education, the third generation knows how to eat, the fifth generation knows how to dress, and in the end, it is a group of prodigal families. What is the use of such a family when the real disaster strikes?

I remembered that she was sitting by the campfire, eating barbecue, her eyes squinted with happiness, and then she said, look, if you escape, would it be more unpalatable than the food made by hundreds of processes at home?

After sipping a big bowl of tea, Cheng Jia almost vomited out the astringency and bitterness of the tea, but swallowed it forcibly, and looked up at the pier. Although it was autumn, the weather was still a bit hot and the pier came and went. Hard work is sweating shirtless.

"Brother, I heard that the Ling family wants someone today?"

"Yes, there has been a lot of work these days, so bring more people over."

"Is their head going to sea?"

"The flag of the Fengshen is hung out, and it must be the head of the sea."

"I really want to go to the Wind God."

"What are you dreaming about, the sailor of the Fengshen is something ordinary people can be, I, it is enough to be able to be recruited as the sailor of the Fortune."

"You failed this time, right?"

"Isn't it that I just had a bad stomach after eating that day. It will definitely happen next time."

"Boss Shen is here, go!"

A big man appeared on the trail, and the coolies on the tea stand suddenly rushed over, and then after a short while, the pier quieted down, and everyone went to the Lingjia Pier.

"father."

"Hey, what's the matter?" the old man at the tea stand rubbed his hands and responded.

A young man ran over with a baggage on his back and said: "The God of Fortune has set off ahead of schedule. I'm not at home for the holidays. You and mother take care."

"Hey, be careful, and follow the boss!" The old man shouted at his son who had already run away.

"I know!" The young man waved his hand and quickly ran into the trail.

"Old man, are you willing to send his son on board?"

"Of course I am willing to follow Master Ling."

"Why do you say that?"

Seeing the son who had been sitting next to him making a sound, everyone at the tea stall was silent for a while, and then the tea stall owner smiled: "On the sea, the most important thing is to have a good boat master and a good captain. When encountering storms and other things, I have always stood in the most dangerous place. In strong winds and waves, I can follow her and I can rush through. I can't worry about other boat old men. Following Ling's boat, the old man feels relieved."

"He old man, what you said is wrong, your son is not on the Fengshen, but the Wealth." The person next to him smiled.

"The boat master of the God of Wealth is a personal disciple of the head of the house, so naturally he is also powerful. In short, I can rest assured, old man."

"That's true, the Ling family is very strict in selecting sailors, and it is rare for your son to be selected."

Both the book case and the picture case took a look at their son. They followed him and Ling Qingyu to Jiangling, and then shared their sorrows in Jiangling. Seeing that the son was smiling and looking very happy now, they were slightly relieved.

"Yo, Sanli, didn't you say rest today? Why did you come?"

"Stop talking, here's a bun, I'll rush on board."

"The Fushen is leaving too?"

"All go, Fu Lu Shou Xi Cai, we are all leaving today, don't talk about it, brothers, wait for me to come back for a treat."

"Nothing will happen? Don't you leave after the festival?"

"How can something happen? You can get on the Ling family's boat, and you will get a hundred or two dollars in a year. It's a pity, they basically don't recruit outsiders."

It seemed that the trouble caused to her was not small. Cheng Jia lowered his head and drank a big bowl of tea. After a few more sips, the tea had a hint of sweetness after the initial bitterness.

After sitting for more than an hour, Cheng Jia had already drank the big bowl of tea and sat comfortably on the bench in the tea stand with his eyes squinted.

When the sailors hurried from the dock to the Lingjia dock passed by the tea stall, they all glanced at the boy in Tsing Yi who was sitting on the simple tea stall on this dirty dock but seemed to be a painting.
