Chapter 216 Dock

Liu Zhihua was taken aback, "Are you really so powerful?"

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, recalling the appearance of the officials he met while traveling with Mr. Fu, he was both excited and emotional.

"His mother, when we went to the academy, those deans and old masters would salute when they saw Mr. Fu. With such a noble person protecting Qiusheng, no one in the academy would dare to bully him." Wang Zhuangzhi smiled.

Liu Zhihua followed suit with a smile, nodded joyfully and said: "The relationship is good, I know our family is blessed now, and the children are safe, healthy and very smart, all thanks to God's blessing."

Wang Zhuangzhi walked into the room, and said casually: "Qiu Sheng officially entered school yesterday. I sent him to the dormitory and gave him bedding and books. Qiu Sheng gets along very well with his new classmates."

Liu Zhihua heard this, and asked curiously: "Master, how much is the tuition fee of Jingcheng Academy?"

Hearing about the tuition fee, Wang Zhuangzhi patted his chest with lingering fear, and said helplessly, "The dean said that it would cost sixty taels a year, but Qiusheng's performance in this assessment was good. The dean said that he can approve this year's bursary, and there are no other expenses."

Although Qiusheng didn’t need to spend money, Liu Zhihua was taken aback by the sixty taels. In the town, four taels a year and they thought it was too expensive, but they didn’t think the capital was so expensive today, where ordinary people could go.

entered the house,

Liu Zhihua first helped the head take off his coat, and then went to the closet to find a set of clean clothes.

Seeing that the head of the family is going to wear it, Liu Zhihua raised her hand to stop her and said, "Father, you have been running around for a few days, why don't you wait in the house, and I'll boil a bucket of water and come back to wash."

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't stop what he was doing, and explained casually: "It's hotter in Beijing than here. When I came back, I washed it at the inn. My body was clean, but my clothes were stained with dust."

Hearing this, Liu Zhihua gave up.

She casually moved a chair and sat down, and then talked to the head of the house about the situation in the past few days.

"Xiao Duan came the next day after you left. He is calm and capable. He has never made any mistakes whether it is delivering fish or taking medicine. He is not bad."

"By the way, Xiuhua and her brother-in-law Cheng'er are here. My brother-in-law has taken care of the warehouse. It is said that it is at the pier outside Dazhen and Ancheng. He said that there is still a thousand taels short, so I just took the two thousand taels of silver to give it to you. He, save the time and run later."

After Liu Zhihua finished speaking, she even glanced at the head of the family.

She is really not helping her natal family, but the brother-in-law planned to invest three thousand taels at the beginning. It is better to give it all at once than to have people come to the door every day.

Wang Zhuangzhi raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Damn, you did the right thing. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. After all, we have invested in the stock. We have to see if my brother-in-law needs help."

Liu Zhihua nodded, and said, "I'll go with me tomorrow, but Ruo Xiuhua and the others have moved and have to take Mu Cheng's entrance exam, as well as warehouse affairs, so they must be too busy."

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, then let's go help together as a family."

…

Wang Zhuangzhi came back in the afternoon, and the children fed the fish in the backyard, and then went back to the house to study, without noticing it at all.

It was Xiao Li who ran out to the latrine, found the carriage in the front yard, and realized that his father was back.

After a while, the three children pestered father to ask what the capital looks like, is there anything delicious and fun, is the eldest brother’s new academy big, have you seen the emperor...

Wang Zhuangzhi answered each one patiently, and also said that Qiusheng bought some special products and asked him to bring them back to taste.

For dinner, Liu Zhihua cooked a pot of egg drop soup and put some corn flakes on it.

Qiusheng's specialty is crispy roast duck and some pastries.

For dinner, the family ate duck meat, cornflakes, and egg soup, which was very pleasant.

…

After breakfast the next day, the family went to Ancheng.

Because he didn't know the exact address of Mu Kuan's new home, Wang Zhuangzhi drove the carriage directly to the pier to look for him.

But their carriage was stopped as soon as they reached the periphery of the pier.

A strong man on guard said: "No horse-drawn carriages are allowed inside the pier."

Wang Zhuangzhi clasped his fists and explained: "This strong man, we have a warehouse on the pier, and there are five people in my car, including a young child and a woman. There is a lot of people on the pier for fear of being scattered. Please help me."

As he spoke, Wang Zhuangzhi stuffed him with two small pieces of silver with his sleeve in the way.

The strong man heard that he had a warehouse on the pier, so he shook the silver in his hand, looked back at the one who was not in charge, then waved his hand and said: "Come in, let's not be an example."

"Thank you, strong man."

Wang Zhuangzhi drove forward in a carriage. It was now noon, and there were a lot of people unloading and loading goods at the pier. The men carrying sandbags were all shirtless and sweaty carrying them back and forth across the pier.

Erya heard the movement outside, opened the curtain curiously, poked out a small head, and looked at the big naked men outside, she covered her eyes and quickly retracted her head.

Xiao Li looked puzzled, Jiaojiao also turned around and lifted the curtain on her side curiously, Erya hugged Jiaojiao quickly when she saw this, "Baby, you can't look at it."

Jiaojiao was a little puzzled, her **** and moist eyes blinked, and she asked in a waxy voice, "Sister, why not."

"Those men outside don't have any clothes on, so let's not look at them, they are so cute." Arya patted her sister on the back and coaxed her.

Although Jiaojiao was curious when she heard the words, she didn't look any further.

Liu Zhihua heard the conversation between the two sisters, she opened it casually, glanced at it, immediately put down the curtain, and sighed: "Oh, it's not easy for these people to support their families and make a living."

Xiao Li really watched with relish, and turned back to his mother and said: "I want to grow as strong as them, and protect my sister, sister and mother in the future."

Hearing that, Liu Zhihua smiled and touched him, "Okay, a man must protect the weak woman in his family. Our little Li is becoming more and more sensible."

Erya and Jiaojiao also followed their mother to praise others, and Xiao Li puffed out her small chest and was full of confidence.

After some inquiries, Wang Zhuangzhi found the four large warehouses owned by Mu Kuan.

Fortunately, the door of one of them opened, so he parked the carriage in an empty space, jumped out of the carriage and went up to ask.

squeak —

The sound of Wang Zhuangzhi pushing the door alarmed the people inside, and Mu Kuan and two boatmen came out.

Seeing Wang Zhuangzhi and Mu Kuan's happy face, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Wang Zhuangzhi pointed to the carriage outside with a smile, and said, "Our whole family is here. I don't know where your new house is, so I came here to look for you."

Hearing that the whole family had come, Mu Kuan hurriedly put down the things in his hands, and said hello: "Brother-in-law, there is a lot of chaos on the pier, then I will take you home."

Mu Kuan turned his head and gave orders to several boatmen, and then led his brother-in-law and his family to a small courtyard he newly leased.

It is not far from the pier, and all the furniture was moved here today. He came here early in the morning to work, and his wife and Mu Cheng were cleaning up.
