Chapter 216 Pier

 Liu Zhihua was stunned, "Really, is it really that powerful?"

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, recalling how he was traveling with Mr. Fu and the officials he met who were courteous and courteous, and he felt excited and filled with emotion.

"Damn it, when we go to the academy, the deans and old masters all bow to Master Fu when they see him. With Qiu Sheng protected by such a noble person, no one in the academy would dare to bully him." Wang Zhuangzhi said with a smile.

Liu Zhihua smiled, nodded happily and said, "Then the relationship is good, I know that our family is blessed now. All the children are safe, healthy and very smart, thanks to God's blessing."

Wang Zhuangzhi walked into the room and said casually: "Qiusheng officially entered school yesterday. I sent him to the dormitory and got him bedding and books. Qiusheng got along well with his new classmates."

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

After hearing about the tuition fee, Wang Zhuangzhi patted his chest with lingering fear, and said helplessly: "The dean said it would cost sixty taels a year, but Qiu Sheng's score in the assessment was good, and the dean said he could approve this year's scholarship, and there is no other fee."

Although Qiu Sheng didn't have to spend any money, Liu Zhihua was also shocked by the sixty taels. They thought four taels a year was too expensive in town, but they didn't expect that the capital is so expensive today and it's not a place that ordinary people can go to.

Entered the house,

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

Seeing that the boss was about to put it on, Liu Zhihua raised his hand to stop him and said, "Dad, you have been running around these days, why don't you wait in the house, I will boil a bucket of water and come back to wash it off."

Wang Zhuangzhi did not stop what he was doing and explained casually: "It's hotter in Beijing than here. I washed myself at the inn when I came back. My body is clean, but my clothes are stained with dust."

Hearing this, Liu Zhihua gave up.

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

"Xiao Duan came here the next day after you left. He is calm and capable. He has never made any mistakes whether delivering fish or taking medicine. He is a good person."

"By the way, Xiuhua and her brother-in-law Cheng'er came to visit. My brother-in-law has already checked the warehouse. It is said that it is at the dock outside Dazhen and Ancheng. He said that there is still a shortage of one thousand taels, so I directly gave him two thousand taels in silver notes.

He can save himself from running away later."

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

She really wasn't helping her mother-in-law, but her brother-in-law had originally planned to invest three thousand taels. It was better to give it all at once than to have people come to the house every day. She was afraid that her brother-in-law would be embarrassed to ask again.

Wang Zhuangzhi raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Damn you did the right thing, I'll just go and have a look tomorrow. After all, we have bought shares, and we have to see if my brother-in-law needs any help."

Liu Zhihua nodded and said, "I will follow you tomorrow. If Xiuhua and the others had to move and take Mu Cheng for the entrance exam, as well as the warehouse, they would definitely be a little busy."

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded when he heard this, "Okay, let's go together as a family to help."

……

When Wang Zhuangzhi came back in the afternoon, the children fed the fish in the backyard and then went back to study without even noticing.

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

After a while, the three children pestered their father and asked them what the capital looked like, whether there was anything delicious and fun, whether the eldest brother’s new academy was big, and whether they had seen the emperor...

Wang Zhuangzhi patiently answered them one by one, and also said that Qiu Sheng had bought some specialties and specially asked him to bring them back to taste.

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

The specialties Qiu Sheng bought back were crispy roast duck and some pastries.

For dinner, the whole family ate duck meat, cornflakes, and egg soup, which was quite enjoyable.

……

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

Not knowing the specific address of Mu Kuan's new home, Wang Zhuangzhi drove a carriage directly to the dock to look for him.

But their carriage was stopped as soon as it arrived outside the dock.

A strong man on guard said: "You are not allowed to get on the carriage inside the dock."

Wang Zhuangzhi clasped his fists and explained: "Sir, we have a warehouse on the pier. I have a baby, a wife and a family of five in my car. There are so many people on the pier that we might be scattered. Please make it easier."

As he said this, Wang Zhuangzhi stuffed him with two pieces of silver under his sleeve.

When the strong man heard that he had a warehouse on the dock, he shook the money in his hand, looked back at the person who was not in charge, waved his hand and said, "Come on, I won't do it next time."

"Thank you brave man."

Wang Zhuangzhi drove the carriage forward. It was now noon, and there were many people unloading and loading goods at the pier. The men carrying sandbags were all bare-chested and covered in sweat, carrying them back and forth through the pier.

Erya heard the movement outside, curiously opened the curtain, stuck out her little head, and looked at the naked men outside. She covered her eyes and quickly retracted her head.

Xiao Li was puzzled and took a look. Jiaojiao also turned around and lifted the curtain on her side curiously. Seeing this, Erya quickly hugged Jiaojiao and said, "My dear, you can't look."

Jiaojiao was a little confused. She blinked her big black eyes and asked in a waxy voice: "Sister, why not."

"Those men outside are not wearing any clothes, so we won't look at them, Jiaojiao, be good." Erya patted her sister on the back and coaxed.

Although Jiaojiao was curious when she heard this, she didn't look again.

Liu Zhihua heard the conversation between the two sisters, took a look, and immediately lowered the curtain, sighing: "Oh, it's so sunny in the middle of the day, it's not easy for these people, they have to make a living to support their families."

Xiao Li really enjoyed watching it, and turned back to his mother and the others and said, "I want to be as strong as them and protect my sister, sister, and mother in the future."

Hearing this, Liu Zhihua smiled and touched him, "Okay, a man must protect the weak women in his family. Our Xiaoli is becoming more and more sensible."

Erya and Jiaojiao also praised others along with their mother, while Xiaoli puffed out his small chest and looked confident.

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

Fortunately, the door to one of the rooms was open. He parked the carriage in an empty space, jumped out of the car and went to ask.

Zhi——

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

Seeing Wang Zhuangzhi and Mu Kuan's face beaming with joy, he quickly 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. We don't know where your new residence is, so we came here to look for you."

Hearing that the whole family was here, Mu Kuan quickly put down what he was doing and said hello: "Brother-in-law, there is a lot of noise on the pier, so I will take you home."

Mu Kuan turned around and gave instructions to several boatmen, and then led his brother-in-law and his family to a small courtyard he had newly rented.
