Everyone in the family knew that Sikandar was a daughter's slave, but they didn't expect that he had reached this point and even wanted to embroider his daughter's clothes with his own hands.
He originally wanted to hide himself from others, so he hid here secretly.
Unexpectedly, he was targeted by Xu Daokai.
In fact, at this time, Xu Daokai still didn't want to believe that this was the truth.
But he couldn't produce any other evidence, so he could only feel frustrated secretly.
"Sikanda, if you want to embroider clothes for your daughter, just do it, don't be so secretive." Xu Chunjun said, holding back a laugh, "Don't be afraid of people laughing at you. Anyway, everyone won't laugh at you once or twice."
"Okay, okay, there's no excitement anymore, let's get going!" Zheng Wuji waved his hand and said, "It took me a long time!"
Everyone watching the excitement dispersed, including Sikandar and Green Ulva.
Xu Daokai's face was blue and he did not dare to look at Xu Chunjun.
"Let's go, sit in my room and drink tea." Xu Chunjun said, "Let's discuss the next thing by the way."
Walking into Xu Chunjun's yard, the window of the main room was half open.
Xu Daokai remembered Sikandar standing outside the window, winking inside.
He also deliberately walked to the window and looked inside. Opposite was a Western-style full-length mirror.
It turned out that Sikandar was winking in the mirror.
Xu Daokai knew clearly that Xu Chunjun must know what he was planning.
It's impossible for someone like her to be so naughty and subtle, but she can't help but notice it.
"Daokai, don't you have a headache now?" Xu Chunjun asked him after sitting down.
Xu Daokai didn't speak, just shook his head.
"I originally wanted you to go to the bank to help, but now I think about it, it may not be appropriate. Why don't you go to the dock!" Xu Chunjun said, "It's a big place there and you can run around."
Xu Daokai didn't make excuses to refuse this time. He also wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
So in the afternoon, Zheng Wuji took him to the dock.
It was the coldest weather of the year, with ice on the river and a lot of snow on the road.
"This ice needs to be dug through once a day. Although ships can no longer travel to the north, water transportation from the south cannot be stopped." Zheng Wuji introduced, "The horse and camel teams coming here must have enough fodder.
In addition, although the camel does not need to be taken care of, the horse must be checked to see if the horseshoe is firmly nailed. Otherwise, the frozen road will be slippery and the horse will be easily split to death.
We also need to keep an eye on these two-hour stalls and provide them with enough food. It's cold and they all do physical work, so it's not okay to go hungry.
The few boats leaning on the shore belong to our family. They are not used much at this time of year, but we must prevent them from being stolen."
"Brother-in-law, you have said so much, what do I care about?" Xu Daokai tightened his cloak and asked.
He felt that it was much harder on the dock than in the bank. It was freezing outside all day long. It was so damn torturous!
"There are people in charge of things here. You just follow and learn. If you can help, help." Zheng Wuji said, "Every morning I will ask someone to send you here and pick you up in the evening. Just have a bite of lunch here.
The mutton soup at Suojia's shop is so good that even Xiang Neiji will have a bowl of it when he comes!"
Xu Daokai was assigned to go to the dock to go to school and work, and returned to Zheng's house after dark.
After staying up all day, I fell asleep when I got home, so there was no chance of harming anyone.
After about half a month of this, Zheng Wuji took a rest again.
Early that morning, he took Xu Daokai to the dock.
The two masters of the Shen family and the Yu family, who were doing business with the Zheng family on the dock, happened to be here too.
"Master Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." Mr. Yu stepped forward and clasped his fists, smiling, "It happened that we all met today, so we might as well have a drink together."
Zheng Wuji didn't refuse, and responded with a smile: "That's what I had in mind, and the ice on the river happened to be broken, so why don't we go on the boat to have a drink?
Ask them to set up a stove, grill the lamb, stew two fish, and prepare some soups and fruits."
Young Master Shen pointed at Xu Daokai and asked: "Brother Zheng, who is this brother?"
"This is Chunjun's brother, the fourth young master of the Xu family." Zheng Wuji introduced, "I have been at the dock these days, looking at the doorways here."
"Oh, that's it, let's go together!" Young Master Shen said with a smile, "I wonder if we can drink?"
"Let's forget it! He is young, and he doesn't usually drink. If we really get him drunk, my wife will definitely be angry with me later." Zheng Wuji said with a smile.
He also made no secret of the fact that he was under the control of his wife in front of outsiders.
It was almost noon, and the food and wine on the boat were all ready.
The boatman asked everyone to get on the boat, and then drove the boat away from the shore.
A few people sat down, chatted, ate and drank, and were very happy.
Gradually, he became a little drunk. Among the people at the table, only Xu Daokai was sober.
Looking at the few people who were drunk and staggering around, and then looking at the two large jars of wine, a plan suddenly came to mind.
He deliberately gave these three people more wine and persuaded them to drink more.
When all three of them were drunk and staggering, he pretended to be tired from sitting, got up, stretched his legs and feet, and walked out of the cabin.
He said to the two boatmen: "Some of the gentlemen inside want to drink Suoji's mutton soup. Which one of you will buy it? Give him a reward of one or two silver coins."
"Go ahead!" the older boatman said to the younger one, "don't forget to put it in a food box and be sure not to spill it."
There is also a small boat tied behind the big ship in case of emergency.
"There is a reed marsh over there. Let's park the big boat there first! Wait until he gets the mutton soup." Xu Daokai had already spotted the place. The reed marsh was very hidden and easy to do.
The two boatmen did not doubt that he was there, so they first pulled the big boat over. Then the young man unloaded the small boat and went to the pier to buy mutton soup.
Xu Daokai poured another bowl of wine to the old boatman: "Old man, it's so cold, let's drink a bowl of wine to relieve the cold!"
The old boatman took it over in a hurry and thanked him profusely.
After finishing one bowl, I poured him another bowl.
"Hey, young master, I can't do it, I can't do it! One bowl is enough, old man, I don't have much tolerance for alcohol." The old boatman said, waving his hands.
"It doesn't matter, this wine has no stamina." Xu Daokai lied to him.
The old boatman couldn't resist his hospitality, so he had to drink the bowl again.
He was already on an empty stomach, drank two more bowls of wine, and became drunk when the wind blew him.
Xu Daokai was not at ease yet, so he forced him to drink a bowl with sweet words.
By this time the two jars of wine they had brought were all gone.
But Xu Daokai didn't panic. He knew that there were several jars of wine placed under the cabin!
His plan this time was to take advantage of these people being drunk, pour the wine into the cabin, and then light it on fire, burning Zheng Wuji and others to death!
There are no ships nearby. If people in the distance see the fire and come to save it, they may be too late.
As a result, Xu Chunjun became a widow.
Then he would find a way to find a way to blame Zheng Wuji for the deaths of other people, so that the Yu Shen family would become enemies with the Zheng family.
Even if Xu Chunjun becomes a widow, she will not be able to live a peaceful life!
