Chapter 705 Reception
Two sea boats on the sea approach the pier.
The person standing on the dock was shrouded in the shadow of the ship. Yang looked up at the big ship nearing, feeling that he was too small.
When the Denglai Navy's ship appeared at the dock before, they did not feel that way.
The ship stopped when it was almost at the dock.
The boat was put down, and a few men got off from the big boat to the boat.
The people on the boat rowed the boat and came to the dock, and stretched out a board and hit one end of the dock.
A man in short slap stood up on the boat, took the lead and walked onto the board, and finally came to the dock.
"I have met two generals." The visitor bowed to Mao Chenglu and Chen Zhong.
"It's really you, Shopkeeper Xu!" Mao Chenglu shouted in surprise, and looked at Chen Zhong with his head turned around.
Chen Zhong guessed that Xu Xuewu was sent to the tiger flag.
Xu Xuewu smiled and said, "General Mao knows I'm coming?"
Mao Chenglu shook his head and said, "I don't know you will come over, but General Chen just guessed that the person on the ship would be you."
"The random words should not be true." Chen Zhong waved his hand.
Xu Xuewu, who originally wanted to ask a few more questions, saw that Chen Zhong was unwilling to say more, so he stopped asking, but said, "This time the grass-roots came over and brought some small gifts. Please ask the two generals to accept it with a smile."
As he said that, he took out two golden hairpins from his arms and handed them to Mao Chenglu and Chen Zhong.
Mao Chenglu, who got the golden hairpin, weighed it with his hands and said, "This is something that women use. It will be of great use to keep it. It's better to change to a jar of wine."
After saying that, he put it in his arms casually.
Xu Xuewu, who was standing opposite, smiled and said, "This time Caomin brought several jars of sorghum brewed with my tiger flag, all of which were strong wine. I believe the general will definitely like it."
"Really? You have to taste that book." Mao Chenglu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the big ship on the sea and licked his lips.
He likes to drink, especially in this season, his body can warm up after drinking a few sips of strong wine. Unfortunately, Pidao cannot even eat enough, so it is even more difficult to drink.
Even if he is a guerrilla general here in Pidao, he rarely has the chance to drink it all, and there is not so much wine for him to drink.
Chen Zhong held the golden hairpin in his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Xu gave such a big gift as soon as he came, and I am ashamed of it."
"Shopkeeper Xu will give it to you, just take it, they are not short of this amount of money." Mao Chenglu next to him said disapprovingly.
Xu Xuewu smiled and said, "General Mao said that this golden hairpin was a gift for the two generals. Moreover, when Caomin heard that General Chen had a new house, the golden hairpin was treated as a gift for the grass man."
"Okay, I will accept it." Chen Zhong put the golden hairpin in his arms.
Seeing that both of them had accepted the golden hairpins, Xu Xuewu said: "I dare to ask if the General is on the island? Can you allow Caomin to go and meet the General?"
"There are busy business these days, and my adoptive father is not convenient for him to meet guests." Mao Chenglu rejected Xu Xuewu's request to see Mao Wenlong.
"What a pity." Xu Xuewu sighed.
Chen Zhong next to him said, "Just tell us anything. For ordinary things, we can decide on them."
"Yes, General Chen and I can make the decision." Mao Chenglu agreed.
Xu Xuewu understood.
It should be that Dongjiang Town has taken their tiger-shaped flag on the big wood these days, but Dongjiang Town owes them a lot of debts to their tiger-shaped flags, which makes Mao Wenlong feel bad about the people with their tiger-shaped flags.
Thinking of this, he said, "Since the general is inconvenient, Caomin and the two generals said it is OK."
However, before he could speak, Mao Chenglu said, "My adoptive father is just the deputy general, so Manager Xu doesn't want the general general to call him. It would be bad if this is spread."
"The court allowed the establishment of Dongjiang Town, and it was sooner or later for General Mao to become the general of Dongjiang Town. Could it be that the two generals thought that the court would send a general to Dongjiang Town?" Xu Xuewu said with a smile.
Mao Chenglu's face sank and said, "Apart from my adopted father, no matter who the imperial court sent to be the general, my soldiers from Dongjiang Town will not accept it."
"General Mao, you are drunk." Chen Zhong, who was standing beside him, reminded.
Mao Chenglu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't even drunk, why are you drunk? Don't talk nonsense here."
Seeing that Mao Chenglu didn't understand, Chen Zhong said bluntly: "You and I can't discuss the affairs of the court, and you also said that you are not drunk."
As his words fell, Mao Chenglu reacted and hurriedly said, "I am indeed a little drunk and even speak nonsense."
Hearing this, Xu Xuewu smiled slightly, and did not expose it, but said, "Two generals, I will take the wine off the boat and send it to the two generals."
As he said that, he turned around and said a few words to the person beside him.
After hearing this, the man returned to the boat and rowed the boat back to the big boat.
Chen Zhong said, "The windy pier at the pier is strong, so it is better to go to the island with me. I will ask someone to prepare some food and sit down and have a drink together later."
"The Caomin is just thinking this way, so it's a blessing for General Chen." Xu Xuewu bowed his fists and bowed.
"Please!" Chen Zhong raised his hand and made a gesture of asking.
"Please, two generals." Xu Xuewu said politely.
Mao Chenglu and Chen Zhong walked in front, and Xu Xuewu took a step forward and followed the two of them.
The three of them walked towards the island together.
As a guerrilla general, Mao Chenglu had his own house on the island. Although it was not as big as Mao Wenlong's, there were several rooms connected.
When he returned to the room, his concubine came to pay his respects.
As a military general, there are not so many vain gifts in places like Pidao, and the concubine he married is just a pretty commoner daughter.
Those real wealthy families or related families have long gone to the Ming Dynasty with the ship of the Denglai Navy, and will not betroth their daughter to the soldiers on Pi Island.
Even if a deputy general like Mao Wenlong may soon become the general of Dongjiang Town, in the eyes of wealthy families, being a general in a place like Dongjiang Town is not as valuable as a thousand households in a garrison in the Ming Dynasty.
Small families don’t pay much attention to it. When a guest comes to his home, as Mao Chenglu’s concubine, he wants to come out to say hello and see the guest.
Mao Chenglu said to his concubine: "You go to the kitchen to prepare some food. Today I will be entertaining General Chen and Manager Xu."
"I'll prepare now." Mao Chenglu's concubine bowed, retreated from the house, and went to the kitchen to prepare the meal for a while.
Although Mao Chenglu was a guerrilla general, he had no chef at home and had to take care of all the food by his concubine.
Several people sat down separately.
Mao Chenglu sat in the main seat, and Xu Xuewu sat in the bottom head.
