"Mom, should I call Aunt Cheng Meicheng in the letter? Should I just write words of thanks to her?"
Xiao Fuyuan asked, holding a pen.
"It's called Auntie." Mrs. Zhen touched Xiao Fuyuan's head and said very gently, "You can write whatever you want to her."
Xiao Fuyuan thought for a while and put pen to paper.
First, I would like to thank Aunt Cheng for the gift. She likes it very much.
Then she told Cheng Mei seriously that her favorites were the music box and the set of porcelain dolls.
Finally, she told Aunt Cheng to eat on time and eat more vegetables, and wished her a safe journey.
Xiao Fuyuan carefully wrote his name at the end of the letter, thought for a while and put the picture of winter snow and red plum blossoms he drew into the envelope.
Cheng Mei had given her so many gifts, so she had to give back.
As the world's richest businessman, Cheng Mei is not short of good things, so let's give him a painting she painted by herself.
Tian Maimiao also wrote a personal letter to Bai Sanzhuang, sealed it, and handed it to Zhen.
Zhen handed the three letters to the white wooden board, which handed them to the merchants.
"Is the cargo ship convenient for the merchant? You can't just bring the letter. The New Year is coming soon. Bring San Zhuang some New Year's goods from home. He must have a New Year's Eve dinner on the ship."
As Mrs. Bai spoke, she was mentally planning to fry her third grandson's favorite vegetable balls, braised pork ribs, and roast chicken...
"Grandma, the place where Third Brother is now is very hot, and the food will be spoiled all the way there." Xiaofu Yuanju reminded the old lady Bai.
Old Mrs. Bai slapped her forehead and said with a smile: "I just wanted to bring some New Year's goods to the third child, but I forgot that Nanyang is different from us here. It is said that there is no winter without snow."
Finally, after thinking about it, I asked the merchants to bring the dried peanuts and corn, fried melon seeds and soybeans produced in the field, and two jars of wine to the ship.
On the night when the letter was sent out, Bai Sanzhuang and his party encountered the biggest storm.
The storm is fierce and the typhoon suddenly arises.
The entire sea was dark, rough, and turbulent.
It was the first time for Bai Sanzhuang to encounter such a terrifying scene. He prayed that nothing would happen amidst the roaring mountains and tsunami.
The boat was thrown away, and several times Bai Sanzhuang thought that the boat was going to crack and he was going to be thrown into the sea.
The sailors were very calm at first. It is normal to encounter storms when drifting on the sea.
Almost every one of them has experienced a narrow escape from death.
But in the middle of the night, the storm became stronger and stronger, and the sailors were no longer calm.
Cheng Mei's merchant ship in front was also thrown around. Bai Sanzhuang couldn't see the specific situation of the ship, so he could only use the lightning to try to find Cheng Mei's ship.
The wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger, and Bai Sanzhuang was really worried that he would fall into the sea.
"My sister said I will be safe."
"My sister said I will be fine."
"My sister said I can make a lot of money on this trip."
In extreme fear, Bai Sanzhuang hid in the cabin and muttered something.
While reciting silently, he clutched the calligraphy "Three Brother is safe" written by his sister to his chest.
I struggled like this for nearly a night.
Just when Bai Sanzhuang thought that the storm, thunder, lightning, and rain would never end, God suddenly ordered his troops to retreat.
Then the thunder and lightning disappeared, the storm gradually subsided, and soon the entire sea became quiet, and a golden shimmer appeared where the sea and the sky met.
It was as if the stormy waves of the night had never appeared.
And their merchant ship had already slipped into a quiet harbor.
"This time is finally over." The sailors gasped loudly.
After a night of twists and turns, everyone was exhausted.
Bai Sanzhuang fell down in the cabin, holding the copybook on his chest and taking a deep breath.
The storm is finally over!
Bai Sanzhuang looked at the calm sea and felt as if he had narrowly escaped death.
"Go and check on the third brother of the Bai family?"
After experiencing the storm at night, Cheng Mei looked slightly tired, but still very calm.
Although the previous storm was not as severe as last night's, she had experienced sea storms time and time again, and she could still withstand it.
He was just worried that Xiao Fuyuan's third brother would suffer.
After Butler Yan boarded Bai Sanzhuang's boat, he came back and told Cheng Mei that Bai Sanzhuang was in good condition, and Cheng Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
"How many injuries did the crew member have?" Cheng Mei asked.
"Except for the two sailors who had their arms twisted, there were no other injuries. Even if there were any, it was just a small skin injury." Butler Yan replied.
"How's the goods?" Cheng Mei asked again, half relieved.
She was prepared for the goods to get completely wet.
If so, this trip would be half in vain.
"Back to the boss, the goods are fine except for the outer layer being wet. Even if the outer layer is wet, it's still fine. Just dry it in the sun."
Butler Yan was beaming with joy. He really didn't expect that the storm at night was so big, but the goods were actually in good condition.
What's this called?
Call it good luck!
"Master, since we sailed with the three strong men, we have had good luck all the way."
First, they encountered pirates. Before anyone could react, the pirates on Bai Sanzhuang's ship actually killed themselves and fell into the sea like a bunch of grasshoppers.
Then came this storm, which was also passed through safely.
No one was seriously injured and the goods were in good condition. What is this called luck?
"Master, after you went to the capital, I heard people in Yangfeng County say that whoever the young lady in our family gets is blessed. Did we get her blessing through the third brother of the Bai family?" Butler Yan said cautiously.
Cheng Mei looked thoughtful and said nothing.
She believed it in her heart.
The daughter I gave birth to after all my life was really extraordinary.
She came back from the dead, opened up maritime trade routes, and became the number one businesswoman in the world.
Is it possible that these are the blessings and blessings of my daughter?
"Lv Zhu, will Xiao Yuan Bao like the treasures we brought last time?" Entering the cabin, Cheng Mei suddenly asked the maid beside her, Lu Zhu.
Without thinking, Lu Zhu said with a smile: "Of course, they say mothers and daughters are connected. She will definitely like the gift you carefully selected for her."
Mother and daughter are connected.
Cheng Mei's heart skipped a beat.
Then he shook his head and said: "I don't know if this will cause her any trouble. I have never thought about recognizing her. I just want to care for her as a stranger and an elder."
Luzhu knew what happened to the eldest master, and felt sad in his heart, but was afraid of touching the eldest master's sorrow, so he said cheerfully: "Look what you said, the little lady is blessed with great fortune, how can your care bring trouble to her? It's a good thing for me to love her personally."
"Really?" Cheng Mei frowned slightly, her forbearing and cautious look was not at all like the best businesswoman in the world.
"of course it's true."
Luzhu remembered that a few days ago, Cheng Mei searched for all the valuable things on the ship in order to ask familiar merchants to bring gifts to the young lady.
She was reluctant to give those few rare East Pearls to the Queen Mother, and gave them all to the young lady.
Even if this is the case, I still feel it is not enough.
I personally ordered a box of gadgets that children liked, wiped them clean one by one, packed them carefully, and repeatedly told the merchants to bring them to the little lady.
I don’t know if the little lady will like these gifts.
