Poor family mother and son

Chapter 512 Disguise
Shui Duanfu and "May [-]th" were tired, and it was only this night. It was the other children who were really tired.

They are responsible for dealing with the aftermath, chasing ships, merging ships, hiding, and transporting until they arrive at their "old nest" in Chongyu Mansion.

Xiaobao brought a group of adults from the boat gang to unload the cargo.

There were so many people, and they were all grown-ups, it became very easy to unload the goods, but everyone was cautious, as if what they were holding was not a stone, but an egg.

Expensive!

With this batch of goods in hand, Xiaobao was half relieved.

The reason is to get all the jade before Meng Chun is killed. Otherwise, when Meng Chun dies, the various households of the Meng family will divide up the resources immediately. At that time, all valuable things will be regarded extremely strictly. It's not easy to start.

Now, only Meng Chun and his iron ingots were left.

It took Meng Chun five days to reach Chongyu Mansion.

Ordinarily, the waterway shouldn't take so long, but there are too many bumps and bumps along the way.

The rectification of the Jiangnan officialdom has caused a series of chain reactions, so that even the ferry crossing has become stricter.

In order to avoid trouble, they have already chosen the waterway that avoids the main channel of the canal, but even Maipudu has people from the yamen to inspect it from time to time.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, although it took a little more time, they still arrived at the boundary of Chongyu Mansion safely.

After arriving at Chongyu Mansion, Meng Chun began to urge to change the ship.

In the past, because the river course was too narrow, and because of avoiding ferry inspections, fishermen’s boats were used, and a large amount of aquatic products were used as camouflage, so that many iron ingots and skids were soaked.

The price of rusted iron ingots would be lowered, and it was so difficult to obtain iron ingots, Meng Chun didn't want to suffer losses.

Different from the single iron ingot produced by Chu Qing, the iron ingot from Fuzhou Mansion is not a single piece, but two pieces connected together, just like two connected pillows.

This makes it more difficult to pack the iron ingots, and it is not easy to distribute evenly; but relatively, if they are bumped during transportation, they are more stable than a single iron ingot, and it is less likely to cause an imbalance.

The iron ingot itself is heavy and needs to be placed on skids, but the aquatic products that were used as a camouflage before have seeped a lot of water, the skids are soaked, and the iron ingots also show signs of rust.

Chongyu Mansion has Maipu Ferry of the Confucian family, the Confucian family is the business partner of the Meng family, passing through their ferries will not be strictly investigated.

Therefore, Meng Chun will change to a larger ship in Chongyu Mansion, and only a larger ship can cover up the draft problem.

For some reason, Meng Chun was always uneasy on this trip.

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out what went wrong.

The son is actively getting in touch with the boy from Chu Qing's family. According to Meng Xiansheng, although the boy is not good at smoking, he doesn't resist him. He is even willing to associate with Meng Xiansheng as long as he pays a few compliments.

It's just the second room... The second child deserves it!As I said earlier, people like us, as long as they are generous, what kind of beautiful girl can't get it?
There is no need to spend too much energy on a certain person.

What is "rain and dew evenly soaked", it will be safe if it is soaked in both, and favoring one will make the others jealous and cause trouble!
The daughter-in-law of the second child, was a bit splashy, but she didn't restrict him from being promiscuous, so why did she have to compete with a woman who didn't even get along with the oiran?

Are you okay now?It's beautiful to make people black and make them into a crazy and silly virtue?
Meng Chun also thought that the Yanluo girl punished Meng Yong.

This is no "smoke", it is hell!

Thinking of Meng Yong still looking like he wanted to drink oil when he saw oil before leaving, Meng Chun shook his head, trying to get rid of that crazy look.

He felt that the uneasiness in his heart should be caused by the second child.

Don't be distracted by this matter now, the most important thing is to get the iron ingots out.

Because the Meng family smuggled iron ingots, they never used bodyguards to escort the caravan. Instead, they selected a group of shrewd and alert people who could fight with fists from among their own servants as guards.

These people are all sons of the family or servants of dead contracts, and they are much more reliable than the Escort Bureau.

Moreover, these guards have one specialty and multiple abilities, one job and multiple positions, and their comprehensive ability is very strong, especially their language talent is good. Both the Analects of Confucius and Voss are very authentic, and they can communicate without barriers when they travel.

Now these men are loading in the dark.

Daxuan's inland river cargo ships have smooth lines, flat bottoms, and shallow drafts, which are suitable for driving in inland rivers; they are wide in the middle and large in capacity, and can carry a lot of cargo; their heads and sterns are slightly narrow, smooth and smooth, so as to reduce resistance during navigation.

From a distance, it looks like a piece of watermelon rind with both ends cut off.

The guards embedded the iron ingots into the mud one by one, and then wrapped the tea leaves outside, disguised as tea bricks.

This is also a helpless move, it is better than disguising with water products, and then letting the iron ingots be soaked in seepage water.

Put these big "tea bricks" on the bilge so they don't attract attention,

I heard that the wharf in Yibin Mansion was paved spacious and strong, so it is estimated that the inspections on landing will be strict, so the iron ingots disguised as tea bricks should be able to pass the customs.

Two days earlier, the other goods had arrived at Chongyu Mansion via the right route, and they are now being repackaged and transported to the ship.

Forget about selling all the iron ingots this time, otherwise there is no certainty when the next time will come.

How easy it was to get the iron ingots in the north before, it's gone!

Now there is a major reshuffle in the officialdom in the south, and iron ingots are no longer available!

Thinking of this, Meng Chun began to think clearly again - why is that girl so hard-working!

Xiaobao is also thinking clearly: Did mother receive the letter?
In the letter, Xiaobao told Chu Qing that he had "obtained" a batch of jade, and asked Chu Qing if he wanted to divide it up?If you have money, you can earn it together, and you can sell it to your mother at a cheaper price.

I also drew the shape of the smoke ball on the letter paper and explained its purpose. I wonder if my mother can guess how it was made?
The smoke ball was given to Shui Duanfu and the others, Xiaobao could only draw it based on his own guess, I hope mother can handle it.

Shui Xiaomao ran over: "Brother Young Master, they have arrived and are changing boats around Dazezi. It's almost over now."

Xiaobao: "Where did you get the news?"

Shui Xiaomao looked at "Xiao Gan Gan" who was waiting for meat in front of Xiao Bao, and said, "Let it go, and I'll tell you!"

Xiaobao didn't know why, but he did as he did, put a large piece of meat on the ground, and said to "Xiao Gangan", "Take it all!"

"Come on" to deliver the letter, "Xiao Gangan" raised his big paws and flew away happily with the big piece of fresh meat, let's eat alone!
Shui Xiaomao put his index finger in his mouth and blew a loud whistle. There was a fluttering sound from the other side of the forest, and a group of black-clothed and white-bellied magpies flew over!

"This is a team!" Shui Xiaomao said.

Xiaobao was surprised: "You train magpies to send messages?"

Shui Xiaomao nodded: "Well, it's better than pigeons, they can fight in groups!"

Uh!Xiao Bao gasped.

He thought that he and Gan Lai were very good at training golden eagles, but Shui Xiaomao could train magpies!
Shui Xiaomao whistled again, and after a few breaths, a black cloud flew over—a crow!
Shui Xiaomao: "This is the second team!"
