While Xiao Fuyuan was hiding at Azhen's house, the fleet of his third brother Bai Sanzhuang passed through the storm and finally arrived at a calm harbor.
Ever since he was little, Bai Sanzhuang has spent the Chinese New Year at home.
This year is the first time I have spent the Chinese New Year outside, and it is so far away from home.
Like Bai Sanzhuang, some people on the boat were celebrating the New Year outside for the first time, and there were also a few people who were used to celebrating the New Year outside.
No matter what, the Chinese New Year is still rooted in the blood of Chinese people, no matter when and where they are.
Even in a foreign country far away from home, everyone's anticipation for the New Year is still very strong.
As the New Year is approaching, it seems that the entire caravan is cheerful. Although it is also filled with melancholy, it still does not stop everyone's enthusiasm for the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, everyone arranged the merchant ships early, counted the time in their hometown, and welcomed the new year with their families from a distance.
The ship was moored in the harbor for two days and planned to set sail again after New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The ship was decorated with lights and everyone was wearing new clothes.
The clothes were secretly sewn by the wife, mother and daughter before they left. They were reluctant to wear them at ordinary times, so they specially kept them during the Chinese New Year.
It's like celebrating the New Year with my family.
Bai Sanzhuang also put on new clothes.
His new clothes were cut by Tianmai Miao and sewn by his grandmother. The patterns on the clothes were drawn by his sister and embroidered by his mother.
Early in the morning, he received a letter from home delivered by express boat.
He knew that Sou Clippers was not a businessman at all, but A Zhen's personal bodyguard, protecting him secretly.
He took the letter and opened it eagerly.
The handwriting of the letter was very childish. He immediately realized that it was written by his sister, and he was excited and happy at the same time.
His little sister can write letters to her brother.
Knowing that everything at home was fine, and that Tian Maimiao and the child in her belly were also fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
There was also a letter written in childish handwriting to Aunt Cheng Mei. Bai Sanzhuang knew that this was a letter written by his sister to Cheng Mei. After all, Cheng Mei had given his sister such a generous gift.
Bai Sanzhuang stuffed the family letter written by his sister Hetian Maimiao into the wooden box he brought with him, then walked out of the cabin and came to Cheng Mei's boat.
"The third brother of the Bai family is here." Butler Yan came up to greet him and asked directly, "Are you looking for our eldest master? I'm afraid it's unlucky that the eldest master caught a bit of cold yesterday."
"It doesn't matter." Bai Sanzhuang looked worried.
"It shouldn't be a problem. We will encounter this kind of thing every time we go sailing. Maybe it will be fine today." Butler Yan said.
Bai Sanzhuang nodded, handed a letter to Butler Yan and said, "I don't have anything else to do. This is a letter written by my sister to the head master. Please pass it on to me and I won't bother you."
Butler Yan's eyes lit up when he saw the letter, and he took it with trembling hands. He forgot to leave Sanzhuang a cup of tea, and hurried in.
Bai Sanzhuang shook his head and chuckled. He knew that his sister was loved by everyone. Even Butler Yan was excited when he saw his sister's letter. His eyes were not his eyes, not his nose.
Bai Sanzhuang plans to invite Cheng Mei and Butler Yan to get to know his sister after he returns.
"Cough cough cough."
Cheng Mei, who was caught by the wind and cold, still felt a bit cold even in the warm Nanyang.
"Who came just now?" Cheng Mei asked.
"It seems to be the third brother of the Bai family."
Lu Zhu handed over a bowl of ginger soup. Cheng Mei took a sip and coughed again.
"It's so hot here. Even if I'm like this, I probably won't be able to live for a few more years." Cheng Mei said softly.
"Madam, what are you talking about?"
Luzhu was so anxious that she almost shed tears. The New Year's Eve, the big boss said such words, which completely dissipated the New Year's atmosphere.
"The boss."
Butler Yan, who had always been steady, actually barged in.
The head of the family is still sick. What's wrong with Butler Yan?
Luzhu was too embarrassed to stop her. She knew that Butler Yan and the head of the family were not only masters and servants, but also had a friendship in which they risked their lives for each other.
"What happened?" Cheng Mei asked.
"Xiao Yuanbao... Xiao Yuanbao's letter to you... to you."
Butler Yan raised the letter in his hand.
"Give it to me quickly." Cheng Mei suddenly stood up, and Lu Zhu walked over and supported her. At the same time, her slight complaint towards Butler Yan disappeared.
This letter came just in time.
Maybe it can make Da Dangjia feel better!
Cheng Mei almost snatched the letter from Butler Yan's hand, then eagerly cut it open, held it and read it silently.
I laughed while reading, my eyes became red while laughing, and finally my tears rolled down and wet the letter paper.
I was afraid that the words would be lost in the fog, so I put the wet letter paper against my heart to absorb the water.
"She actually wrote me a letter." Cheng Mei read the letter again and again, imagining Xiao Fuyuan writing the letter stroke by stroke, and her heart trembled.
Butler Yan and Lu Zhu also both had red eyes.
Although the head of the family gave his daughter to Lao Bai's family, he never thought of recognizing her.
But it is impossible to completely cut off the connection with my daughter.
She endured great pain and founded a huge industry, and it was not only her daughter who was still alive who supported her.
"She said she liked the gifts I gave her very much, and she liked the set of small porcelain figures the most... She also asked me to eat well, which made me happy every day..." Cheng Mei held the letter and spoke excitedly to Butler Yan and Lu Zhu said, "She also wished me success."
This was the first time that Butler Yan and Lu Zhu saw Cheng Mei so excited and happy.
"Am I right? You said that you and the little lady are connected as mother and son. You said that she will like the little porcelain figurine. You are right." Lu Zhu joked, then handed the warm bird's nest porridge to Cheng Mei and continued, "The young lady has told you to eat well, you have to listen to her."
Cheng Mei clutched the letter, her eyes were red, and she nodded excitedly and said, "Eat, I'll eat!"
As he spoke, he drank up the bird's nest porridge in one gulp.
Cheng Mei felt that her head no longer hurt, and her symptoms of wind and cold were relieved.
"Here's a painting she painted for me as a New Year's gift." Cheng Mei unfolded the painting inside the letter paper, her eye circles getting redder.
"It's the headmaster's favorite plum blossom." Butler Yan said.
Sure enough, as Luzhu said, mother and child are connected, and the gifts given to the eldest master by the young lady were all his favorite plum blossoms.
"This is simply the best New Year gift." Cheng Mei said excitedly.
At the same time, I am very grateful to the Lao Bai family for their upbringing of their daughter, and know how to reciprocate gifts from others.
Xiao Fuyuan is so old that he can do this.
"Tonight, let everyone have a good New Year's Eve dinner and live a good New Year. Everyone will be rewarded with an extra ten taels of silver." Cheng Mei's cold symptoms seemed to have completely disappeared, and she told Butler Yan with joy.
Butler Yan took the order and left happily.
After a while, news came that several ships had been rewarded by the master, and soon there was a burst of earth-shaking cheers.
Bai Sanzhuang muttered on his boat, how could his sister's letter be so powerful?
