Fight the Giants

  Chapter 259 How to get in

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu took Huo Nian to the inner city and walked around the Confucius Temple.

  Even if it wasn't the first time he came here, even if he was kicked by the rich young master in the neighborhood, Huo Nian didn't have the slightest psychological shadow, and walked around with great interest.

  Even if my little feet are tired from walking, I still have to continue shopping if my uncle carries them on my back. After eating all kinds of snacks, Huo Xi and Yang Fu helped him carry some.

   "Let's go to the ferry to take a cruise ship. You see that uncle is tired and said he wants to accompany you for a stroll, but he will carry you naked." Huo Xi glared at him.

Huo Nian slid off Yang Fu's back, and patted Yang Fu's back with his small hands: "Uncle, Nian'er will give you a thump. You won't be tired after thumping." Seeing that his uncle was tired, Pi Xiaozi had a flattering expression on his face. laugh.

  Yang Fu touched his head: "Uncle is not tired. Let's go, uncle will take you on a cruise."

   "Okay! Then can we buy something to eat on the cruise?"

   "You still haven't eaten enough? Look at your stomach, can you still hold it?" Huo Xi pointed at his belly, disagreeing.

   "But, isn't taking a cruise just to see the scenery all the way, to have tea and snacks all the way, everyone is like that." Pi Xiaozi blinked his eyes and looked at her.

   "Can you still eat?"

   "Let's buy some drinks, some that won't take up your stomach, shall we?"

  Before Huo Xi opened his mouth, Yang Fu was very willing: "Okay, let's go, uncle will take you to buy it."

  Pi Xiaozi happily held his uncle's hand, and walked two steps. Afraid that his sister would get angry, he looked back at her: "Sister, we don't buy too much. If we can't finish it, we can take it back to our parents, okay?"

  What can Huo Xi say? He gave him a blank look and followed behind them.

   Not long after, the three of them walked to the ferry to look for a cruise ship with some food in their arms.

   There are quite a few people waiting to take the cruise ship. They lined up at the back of the team, waited for half a stick of incense, and finally waited for a small cruise ship. The three of them didn't want to share the boat with others, so they just paid five taels of silver.

   But Pi Xiaozi was very happy. After getting on the boat, put the food and drink in your arms on the square table in the middle, sit on the stool of the cruise ship, and hold the side of the boat to see the scenery on both sides.

   Still squinting his eyes and blowing the river breeze, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

   It is worthy of being "the ten-mile Qinhuai River, the land of golden powder in the Six Dynasties". There are many shops on both sides of the Qinhuai River, rich people gather, all kinds of pavilions and water houses, and the smoke and willows are prosperous.

   "Sister, there are people dancing and singing inside!" Huo Nian pointed to the water house on the bank with his little finger.

  Oh, yes, there are still many buildings on both sides of the strait.

  Huo Xi shook his head and told him, "Don't look around."

   Be careful to see things that are not suitable for children, and it is easy to get corns.

   "Why can't you look around?" Pi Xiaozi is at the age with a strong desire to explore, but Huo Xi doesn't want to share these things with him yet.

  Yang Fu took a look at Huo Xi, seeing Huo Nian looking anxiously at him, he didn't know how to explain it. The boatman who was rocking the boat laughed loudly and said, "Young master, your brother is afraid that you will see something you shouldn't see."

   "What should not be seen?"

   "If you see it, you have to spend money inside. If you spend less, it's not enough. Your brother is afraid that you will lose all your wealth. Hahaha." The boatman was a talkative one, teasing Huo Nian.

   Few of the boatmen on this inland river are dull. They are used to watching the faces of their guests, and they come here for the rewards of the guests.

   "I don't have money, so I don't go in and spend money. I want to save money to buy food in the fields."

   "Young master, this ambition is good." The boatman laughed.

  Huo Nian saw that he was interesting, could tell stories, and sing boat songs. He was very interested in the buildings on both sides, and talked to him at the stern, asking non-stop.

  Huo Xi followed suit, seeing that the boatman told some interesting stories, he listened with gusto.

  There are cruise ships coming and going in the river from time to time, passing by.

  A large ornately decorated flower boat passed by them, causing the three of Huo Xi to turn their heads to look.

  Seeing this, Huo Xi hurriedly shrank back into the cabin, and even glanced worriedly at Huo Nian.

   Isn’t that Wu Youcai and Miao Sijiu? How did these two get together?

  Thinking about it, it has been five years, and Nian'er has grown up. If her siblings don't tell themselves, no one will recognize them. So openly probe to see.

Seeing that there were quite a few people on the boat, there were many bridesmaids and dancers, and they seemed to follow Wu Youcai's lead. Huo Xi saw that he was dressed richly, hugging the bridesmaids from one side to the other, listening to the drums and singing, and was laughed so hard by others Lean forward and back together.

   "Boater, follow up. There will be rewards later." Huo Xi ordered.

   "Okay." The boatman only thought that she was curious and wanted to watch the excitement, playing the drums, paddling hard, and followed closely behind the flower boat.

  Yang Fu and Huo Nian only thought that she wanted to watch the fun, so they also turned their heads to look at the flower boat.

  But Yang Fu followed her gaze and recognized Wu Youcai.

   Back then, he had his basket seized and his five hundred taels of silver bills robbed. He never forgot about it. In these years, this is the only time he has been caught in the basket.

  Turning his head to look at Huo Xi, he hadn't forgotten that Xi'er said that this man was her enemy.

   "Xi'er?"

   "Hush." ​​Huo Xi gestured to him, and Yang Fu stopped talking.

   She only looked at the flower boat over there, and looked at Huo Xi from time to time, Xi'er was holding back some ideas again. But Xi'er's business is his business, and he will help Xi'er.

  Wu Youcai got a fat post because he was Mrs. Hou's sister and entered the palace once. That's called a self-satisfied person.

   Every day, rich businessmen and tycoons come to visit, and even aristocrats from aristocratic families invite him to visit the mansion, and they are soft-hearted when they receive gifts.

   Today, the owners of several businesses invited him out for a drink. Sitting on the flower boat, listening to the little song, drinking the wine, Hua Niang hugged him from left to right, and waited on him as a submissive and obedient person. Wu Youcai only felt that life was happy.

   "Master Wu, I will depend entirely on your support in the future."

   "Haha, easy to talk about."

  Hearing this, Huo Xi frowned. Wu Youcai joined the Shipbuilding Department? Can't read a whole bunch of big characters? How did you get in?

   Is Wu really so powerful that she pushed her brother into it?

  Now that the sea ban has been lifted, I am afraid that the porters of the Shibo Department are all fat men, and the oil and water are so rich that people will rob their heads. The salaries of Wei Dynasty officials were generally not high, with the exception of Shibosi, even if it was an idle job, everyone competed for it.

  This Shibo Department communicates with domestic and foreign businessmen, and is in charge of various overseas tributes and market transactions. Great power, plenty of oil and water.

  When overseas foreigners come to the Wei Dynasty, the goods they bring must first be selected by the Shipping Department, and the goods they fail to pick will be sent to the foreigners for survey and cooperation, allowing them to conduct private trade in the Wei Dynasty.

   And Shibo often lowers prices to make money from it. There are many ways to extract solutions, draw points, and buy online, but it is really a fat job.

   Let the Wu family live a happy life, is Huo Xi willing to see it?
