Matrilocal Marriage - Chapter 166
As if his heart was alive, Yun An suddenly turned his head and saw Lin Buxian’s changes. He was startled at first, then “showed” and explored, and then suddenly…Finally, the corners of his mouth were smiling, with stars in his eyes, extremely gentle Looking at Lin Buxian.
This time, the latter had the slightest way to hide his thoughts. Looking at Yun’an’s series of facial expressions, Lin Buxian suddenly felt that it seemed that it was not entirely a bad thing for a person to see thoroughly by himself… At least the feeling at this time was not bad. .
Lin Buxian smiled, Yun’an’s smile was even brighter, he couldn’t help holding Lin Buxian’s hand, and released it after only a very short hook. Our appearance at this time is really not suitable for this…
Yunan slowed down and asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat first before arriving in Hong Kong?”
“No, it’s all time for dinner. Let’s take a look at the port first. It’s not too late to finish the business.”
Yun An laughed: “How do you know that there is business?”
Lin Buxian smiled without saying a word, the two of them glanced at each other a little, everything was silent.
Yun’an guarded Lin Buxian and went straight to the port. The more people around him, but the smell of the air unexpectedly became weaker.
It wasn’t until Yun’an’s eyes suddenly opened up that he understood the reason the moment he saw the surface of the sea. This is the power to embrace all rivers…
Even the fishy and pungent smell is not enough in front of the sea breeze.
“Here, look over there!” Yun’an raised his hand and pointed. There are large and small ships moored in the port not far away. Workers at the dock are carrying cargoes one after another, shuttled between the port and the cabin, and moved out of the ship. The goods are probably hundreds of steps forward, which is the first “distribution point” of the goods. Many carts and horses, as well as people pushing wooden carts, are waiting there.
These scattered strongholds responsible for transshipment are connected into a fan-shaped area. Yun’an noticed that there were some Fang directly pulled a shed, and the things that were removed from the ship were sold in the shed, and there are not a few such sheds. .
“!” Yun’an took Lin Buxian towards the locations of those sheds and looked at a few houses. Yun’an was a little disappointed: Why are they all fish? Although they are all big fishes of excellent condition, and occasionally I have seen rare species, I am not buying fish!
After that, Yun’an is a little skeptical. Is it difficult to get in touch with those Panbang ships and still need an intermediary?
“Sincer… Brother, shall we go further?” Lin Buxian understood Yun An’s heart and proposed.
Yunan laughed when he heard this name. Turning his eyes, he joked: “Little brother Qi said, don’t be lazy when you are done, let’s move on.”
Lin Buxian’s face turned red in an instant, but fortunately, it was covered with disguise makeup and could not see anything.
Hearing Yun’an’s name, especially the illegible “Qi”, Lin Buxian’s mind flashed the inscription of the family letter he had given to Yunan, “Wife, Lin Si.”
The pronunciation of “Wife” and “Qi” is similar. Lin Buxian has reason to believe that the surname written by Yun An for him is related to the signature of the letter.
From a perspective that Yun’an could not see, Lin Buxian gave Yun’an a “cruel” glance.
Yun An squinted his eyes and saw the Panbang ship, a little lonely against the backdrop of the crowds.
The two moved in the direction of the ship, and they found out that the Panbang ship had also been boarded up. There were lights on the deck, except that the unloading workers entered and exited.
On the port level in front of the ship, there are two middle-aged men dressed as fishermen, but both of them are a little out of control. One of them has one arm missing, leaning on the flag pole, empty. A knot was tied at the cuff of the sleeve, which was blown by the sea breeze.
Another squatted not far from this person, beside the stone pier where the cable was tied, several patches were applied to the washed white clothes, the pants were short and the skin was exposed, and he wore a torn straw hat on his head. .
Like this Panbang ship, the two men seemed to be drifting outside the busy port.
Yun An asked Lin Buxian; “Guess what do these two people do?”
Lin Buxian replied, “Broker, Di, must be one of them.”
“Similar to mine, do you want to make a bet? Who will treat you to dinner later?”
Lin Buxian readily agreed: “Okay!”
“Guess first. I bet you guess the rest.” Yun An said generously.
“broker.”
“Okay, then I bet at least one of them is Di.”
Lin Buxian smiled slightly and did not expose it.
He was born in a big family of merchants and eventually dealt with the accounts. How could he not hear the ingenuity in Yun’an?
Here in Yun’an, Lin Buxian never cared about winning or losing, let alone a meal, as long as Yun’an was happy, what about the word “qianjin”?
Besides, I like Yunan’s playful and clever look…
Yun’an and Lin Buxian saw the man squatting next to the stone pier. Yun’an asked, “What did you do?”
The man raised his head and glanced at Yun’an and Lin Buxian, tore his straw hat and lowered his head, and replied, “I work hard.”
“What price?” Yun An asked again.
“One li.” Yun An and Lin Buxian looked at each other: This person really was talking black. Yun An pulled Lin Buxian aside and asked, “How much is one li he said?”
“It’s a rake. He will take you to do business and take a profit of 1% of the turnover… well, it’s a profit for every profit.”
“One percent? Um… not a lot.”
If it is a hundred taels of silver, and generally speaking, it will not stop at this price. It can be said that it is a model for three years of opening.
Lin Buxian thought it was a pity, so seeing this person as a broker, then this game…
“Or, let’s ask the people over there again?” Lin Buxian whispered softly.
If Lin Wei had seen this scene in the past, he would have to vomit blood on the spot… the most outstanding heir he cultivated with all his hard work, unexpectedly lost in front of Yun’an.
“No, I will ask again. That’s right…” Yun An lowered his voice and continued: “Little Brother Qi is just being a spectator today. Let me deal with outsiders.”
“Good.” How could Lin Buxian fail to understand Yun An’s care for him? His voice is not as hearty and magnetic as Yun An’s. Although he has changed his face, he can still be suspected of saying too much.
The two returned to the man again, and Yun An said, “You can draw more or less. If you encounter something that pleases me, I don’t care about the price. So you have to prove to me that you are worth the reward.”
The man pulled his straw hat again and replied in a low voice: “The accent of the two masters is not like me. The pier in Zhouzhou is different from other places, and it will be more in a month. This ship is from Panbang. It’s loaded with rare things. It’s a pity that from the boat owner to the lowly man, there is someone who can speak mandarin, and people help to take the lead. Anyone who gets on it will only “scroll”. One accidentally will get out of the basket, but it will lose “sex”. Fate! Those Fanbang people don’t care about all this, the last person who ran into the boat “randomly” is still getting off.
. It’s a lot. ”
“Dayan Land, ………… Fanbang people are so bold?”
“Oh, who cares about them.”
Lin Buxian pulled Yunan’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t believe me, this person blamed you.”
Yun An laughed for a while, thinking that Yixi is so cute.
“Then you can speak Fanbang dialect?” Yun An asked.
“A few words are enough. I lived in the dock and had friends with Panbang people.”
“Then, lead the way.”
“I take people on board the boat, and I will charge a penny or two for everything I don’t do or do. It seems that the two masters are not the ones who are short of money. If you don’t accept it in advance, you will have to give it to me after you disembark.”
“It can’t be short of you, right.”
The man led Yun’an and Lin Buxian to get on the board. The board was very narrow, and the higher it went, the higher it was. At first glance, it was quite scary.
Yun An turned to his side and took Lin Buxian’s hand: “Little brother Qi, be careful… I’m holding you for my brother.”
Lin Buxian bit Yun An’s lower lip and gave Yun An a sigh, and shook Yun An’s hand back firmly.
The middle-aged broker quickly stepped onto the deck and looked back: two ordinary men, their hands clasped tightly for a…instantly, their hair exploded, and there was a chill.
Yun’an and Lin Buxian got on the deck, and the broker raised their hands and made a “please” gesture: “Master, here.”
The ship is very big. Several sailors are cleaning the deck. They are wearing beige “color” pullover V-neck shirts with cuffs. Some people also have straps, all “color” coarse cloth pants, and they are all a little old. Leather shoes.
These people all have the standard appearance of the blue star white people, but they are all vicissitudes of life, their hair is “messed”, they have large beards, their rugged figures are slightly bulky and sluggish, and there are handsome guys in Yunanxiang…even Because of the perennial sea breeze, I hurt my face.
Those people looked up at Yun An and Lin Buxian, then quickly retracted their gazes and continued to work.
“Here.”
The broker searched a bit, as if to find a familiar figure, and grabbed the torn straw hat on his head. Yun An could see that the broker had only one eye.
The broker reacted and put on his straw hat again: “Two masters, wait a minute.” When he approached a sailor, he said in a very blunt accent, “Captain, where is it?”
The sailor stopped his work and replied: “The captain is not on the ship today. He wants to see a very important friend. You can find the second mate, or tomorrow.”
Yunan’s spirit was lifted, and the sailors on this ship didn’t even dream of speaking English!
According to Blue Star’s timeline, French and Italian are currently prevailing in the West at this time… Is it hard to say that this time and space are different? Here in the West at this time, the English department has risen?
Yunan: God helped me too!
Lin Buxian saw Yun An raised his eyebrows towards him, this time his expression was unprecedented joy.
The broker returned, pulled the straw hat on his head, and said, “You will not be charged for the money. The captain said that the market on the ship will not open today, so let’s do it tomorrow.”
Yun An chuckled, thinking that this person still has some abilities. At least he understands how “Tomorrow” knows “Captain, where is”, and the joint force is also quite strong, and he can barely be considered a Die.
“The two of us are tied, please have dinner later.” Yun’an quickly said to Lin Buxian, took out a coin of silver from his cuff and threw it to the man: “You, let’s see for ourselves.”
The man took the money and didn’t talk much. He turned around, but when he saw it, Yun An and Lin didn’t know how to speak Fanbang, nor could he see through his old days.
“Let you see the power of nine years of voluntary education!” Yun’an pulled Lin Buxian and trot to a sailor.
Yun An stretched out his hand and made a gesture that Lin Buxian couldn’t understand, and fluently spoke a bunch of language that Lin Buxian couldn’t understand.
The sailor was also full of surprise, and shook the hand that held Yun’an, and then said something.
Lin Buxian looked at Yun’an without turning his eyes. The sailor’s expression was as shocked as his own. He held Yun’an’s hand and said non-stop, while Yun’an had a confident smile on his face, calmly answering.
Lin Buxian’s heart palpitated: Yunan today is so dazzling…
