When Zheng Chaowu doubted his life, he heard Yuan Xiang add: "The reward that the Governor just received was sent to him without stopping..."

Zheng Chao suddenly realized: "The reward I just got..."

Oh, that's okay.

For just a moment, he couldn't help but doubt his nephew's sincerity towards him... He was so narrow-minded, he really didn't deserve to be an uncle.

Just when Zheng Chao was about to reflect, Yuan Xiang added in a low voice again: "But these things are nothing...as early as last year, the governor sent all his family wealth to Jiangdu, which amounted to several million yuan."

After Yuan Xiang said this, he couldn't help but express emotion in his eyes.

Zheng Chao's expression froze again: "..."

Obviously, after repeatedly jumping between the emotions of being in trouble and being fine, he finally got into trouble.

He will not comment on his nephew's prodigal behavior of giving away a huge amount of property...

What he really cares about is, could this be the truth behind "Jing's gradual poverty"?

Several million dollars... His nephew, who was also exterminated, was actually richer than he imagined...

But such a wealthy nephew secretly gave away his family property, and then wrote to him saying that he was "unable to support him"...

He has reflected on his lavish spending more than once. Sometimes when he wakes up late at night, he will even feel guilty that he has ruined his nephew!

It is true that he spends money a little wantonly and is overly charitable, so it is indeed very expensive to raise him...but my nephew is a person with a net worth of millions!

Don't tell him that all the money is given to his sweetheart... As long as a rich man of this level has some money leaked from his fingers, will he still worry about being able to support him until he is fat?

People who want to support their uncle don’t need anyone to teach them.

By behaving like this, it is clear that he has no intention of supporting his uncle.

However, starving to death his only biological uncle, what good would it do to that Shuzi?

Therefore, starving to death is not the goal... the real goal is to force him to surrender to Jiangdu!

Zheng Chao looked at the boxes of belongings, and suddenly he said - these are not the only boxes that his nephew dedicated to the Changjie Envoy? What is the difference between Zheng Guancang and these boxes?

If we had to say a difference, maybe there was a slight difference...these boxes were delivered by others, but he came here with his own legs!

Zheng Chao suddenly felt that he was just a box with legs. Thinking of the more than ten kilograms of meat that he had lost due to starvation, he felt heartbroken for a moment.

His nephew had such a handsome face, but such a dirty heart!

He originally thought that what his nephew brought to him was just a transition from luxury to frugality, but at this moment, Zheng Chao felt that he was so angry that he could be buried on the spot the next moment.

Zheng Chao, who was about to be laid to rest, turned around and left on the grounds that "I have nothing important to do and will come back another day."

With such words, even Yuan Xiang noticed something was wrong. He quickly took two steps and followed up to ask: "...Mr. Zheng, are you feeling unwell?"

Zheng Chao, who had unilaterally committed suicide in his heart, shook his head. His body was fine, but his body was indeed a little uncomfortable.

But seeing that Yuan Xiang was still asking questions, Zheng Chao said truthfully: "...I will go back and write a letter to Ling An."

For every ounce of dead flesh that fell from his body, his nephew needed to give a reasonable explanation.

Zheng Chao's thoughts were very clear, and he only wanted to seek an explanation from his nephew.

As for staying to "confront" Chang Suining, it is absolutely impossible - as an elder, being plotted by his own useless and self-centered nephew, how can he have the face to confront this girl?

Besides... that's his current employer. He's already here, he's already boarded this pirate ship, and he's already lying down comfortably... What else can he do?

Naturally, I can only settle the score with my nephew!

Seeing Zheng Chao leaving in a hurry, with a slightly unkind back, Yuan Xiang's facial features wrinkled up.

Why did Uncle Zheng suddenly want to write a letter to the Governor?

Could it be related to what he just said?

Did he say something wrong?

Yuan Xiang bit his fingers nervously in his heart.

At this time, Chang Suining had already walked over. Looking at Zheng Chao's leaving figure, he asked Yuan Xiang: "Why is Mr. Zheng gone?"

Yuan Xiang whispered uneasily: "Perhaps my subordinate said something wrong. Mr. Zheng suddenly said that he wanted to go back and write a letter to the Governor..."

Yuan Xiang then made it clear to Chang Sui Ning what he had just said.

After Chang Sui Ning listened, his eyes suddenly dawned.

Although Cui Jing didn't tell her in detail how she "persuaded" Zheng Chao to come to Jiangdu, she could guess that Mr. Zheng was in a state of desolation when he came to Jiangdu.

Now this is obviously a scam.

Chang Suining didn't know whether to worry about Zheng Chao's writing skills or Cui Jing's eyes when he read the letters.

Yuan Xiang also sent an errand to his wrist in his heart - after he goes back tonight, he will definitely copy the four words "Be careful in your words and deeds" hundreds of times!

Yuan Xiang was about to cry but Wang Changshi was in a good mood and hummed a little tune.

Wang Changshi's ditty reached Wang Yue's ears, and Wang Yue secretly said to Luo Guanlin: "... Someone has sent money to us adults again. I heard it's the same person as last time."

Luo Guanlin frowned in thought, who is this kind-hearted rich man who wants to remain anonymous?

"Although it is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself, it is not a good thing to have such a close friend who can provide help in times of need and be the icing on the cake..." Wang Yue sighed with emotion, and also looked at his close friend: "Old Qian, San

Do you want to go with me to the sea ceremony in the future?"

"You go away, I won't join in the fun."

The sea worship ceremony mentioned by Wang Yue is a custom spread among fishermen along the coast. At first, when the sea opened every year, the fishermen spontaneously prayed for blessings. Until Jiangdu had a shipping department, the shipping department would preside over this ceremony.

thing.

But after that, the Municipal Shipping Department was gradually abolished, and the preparation of this matter was returned to the hands of the fishermen. Therefore, Jiangdu has not had a decent sea ceremony held by the government for many years.

Chang Suining had people start preparing for this sea sacrifice ceremony half a month ago and released the news in advance.

On the day when the sea ceremony was held, the sea was blue, the sky was blue, and there were no clouds in the sky.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! People have long heard that Chang Sui Ning will personally host this sea sacrifice, so the ceremony was particularly lively, and some people even came before dawn, just to be able to

Get a good spot first.

Amidst the commotion of the crowd, Chang Sui Ning, wearing the official robe of the Jiedu Envoy, stepped onto the high altar under the guidance of the etiquette officer.

The surroundings suddenly became more noisy.

"Chang Jishi!" Gu Erlang cheered along with the people. He couldn't help himself. Just as he was about to approach the altar, a guard blocked him with his sword. He frowned and said coldly: "Don't force me to draw my sword."

Gu Erlang suddenly came back to his senses, took a step back, looked at the female guard with an exotic face in front of him, recognized her at a glance, and smiled to appease her: "Whatever sword you draw, it's all from your family...and today is to pray for blessings, isn't it?"

It’s so bloody!”

Kang Zhi's face remained indifferent: "Gu Erlang knows the importance, so he should respect himself."

Whenever the second son of the Gu family appears, he has a look of insanity on his face. He always wants to get in front of the adults in her family. He really has a face that deserves a beating.

Gu Erlang retreated a little further, and when he turned around, he muttered in a low voice: "What a fierce temper, it really blinded the face of an exotic beauty..."

Beside the altar, in addition to the guards responsible for maintaining order, there were more than a hundred fishermen standing in silence.

Soon, drum beats sounded, and the sea ceremony officially began.

The prayer flags sewn and embroidered by the fishermen fluttered in the wind under the sun, and the sound of drums seemed to make circles of ripples rise on the sea surface.

According to the process, you need to ask the sky to predict the bad luck first.

The person responsible for asking the hexagrams at this ceremony was Wu Jue. He had observed the stars last night and measured the wind direction on the sea today. He had already made a judgment in his mind, but when he came up with the auspicious hexagrams, he still showed great joy.

[Getting the auspicious hexagram, showing joy in return]——This is a link that must be followed in the process booklet he got.

Wujue, who was wearing a Taoist robe, showed good luck to the fishermen and people around the altar, and said to Chang Sui Ning with joy on his face: "Sir, this is a sign of good luck! If we open the sea this year, it will definitely be a peaceful and good year!

"

Looking at Wu Jue, who was about to burst out laughing because he was trying to comply with the procedure, Chang Sui Ning Sui also joined him, smiling brightly.

After hearing this hexagram, the fishermen burst into cheers.

Chang Sui Ning stood above the altar, facing the sea ahead, and bowed: "The vast yellow water will last for thousands of years. God's grace can be seen by the sun and the moon."

The fishermen all around also followed suit, kneeling down and worshiping in the direction of the sea, all with pious gestures and expressions.

Relying on mountains and water, most of them have made a living by fishing for generations. For them, the existence of this sea is a gift from God. The significance of the sea sacrifice ceremony is not only to pray for a good harvest and safety, but also to express their respect and respect for the sea.

gratitude.

The people who gathered behind were also infected by the solemn and pious spirit of the fishermen. They all fell silent for a while and did not make any noise or offend.

Chang Suining held the sea bowl filled with rice wine in both hands and worshiped three times toward the sea. Each time he worshiped, he said slowly -

"I respect the god who protects the sea, and I hope the sea will be calm and the wind will be calm."

"Two respect the heaven, the earth, the sun and the moon, and pray for a good harvest and prosperity for everyone."

"Three respects to the ancestors of the sea, and I wish to bless my people and return to peace."

After praying three times, Chang Suining held the bowl in one hand and his sleeve in the other, slowly pouring the strong wine on the altar.

Under the altar, not far away, Wang Yue, who was worshiping, looked at his lord's figure and felt the devout and vigorous people around him. His eyes were moist for no reason. When he straightened up, he couldn't help but raise his sleeves and press the corners of his eyes.
