Kang Cheng has been waiting for so long anyway, so what's the harm in letting him wait a few more days?
Bai Qingwen waved his hand and motioned to Lao Feng to put the money away first.
Old Feng nodded: "Yes."
The night is getting darker, and the lights of the White Mansion are brightly lit.
The bustling mansion of rich merchants in the past was now deserted.
Even the air smells of separation.
The sad feeling of separation flows in the air.
Mrs. Bai's eyes were red from crying.
"Master, just come with us." Mrs. Bai endured it again and again, but finally she couldn't hold it back anymore and persuaded her again, "Just leave this place to the servants. Our whole family will go to Ryukyu, where Wouldn’t it be better to take root on the ground?”
Mrs. Bai spoke, and the concubines couldn't help but persuade her.
The sons and daughters all cried.
It actually diluted the parting in the air a lot.
But it also made Bai Qingwen extremely noisy.
He spoke coldly and said, "Please be quiet!"
Everyone subconsciously shut up.
Seeing this, Bai Qingwen's face looked better.
He scanned the crowd.
"We have our own arrangements, so don't say any more. When the time comes, you will set off immediately, and I will not see you off. Remember what I said, and reply to me immediately when you arrive. Waiting for this After finishing the things around here, we'll go to Ryukyu to find you guys. Do you understand?" Bai Qingwen asked Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai wiped her tears and nodded while choking.
Time passed little by little, and Lao Feng trotted into the living room.
He said: "Master, everything is ready. Ladies, ladies and gentlemen, please set off."
Bai Qingwen hummed and waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.
After a burst of crying, the huge living room fell silent instantly.
Bai Qingwen watched his family members walking away one after another, and his mood dropped.
Fortunately, after this separation, they will meet again soon.
This is the only place that makes Bai Qingwen feel comforted.
Bai Qingwen himself didn't know how long he had been sitting here. When Lao Feng came back, he felt that his legs were numb.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out for a moment.
It wasn't until Lao Feng brought him a cup of tea and asked him to moisten his throat that he said, "Are you all gone?"
Old Feng nodded: "Everyone has left, ladies and gentlemen. We will meet again when we arrive at the location. We have arranged manpower on the boat. The ladies will be fine. Just don't worry, sir."
"Well, you did a good job. I'll give you a salary increase later." Bai Qingwen nodded.
Old Feng bent his eyes and thanked him.
After thanking him, Lao Feng asked Bai Qingwen: "Master, why don't you leave with Madam and the others?"
Bai Qingwen looked sideways at Lao Feng.
"You want to leave?" Bai Qingzhu asked Lao Feng.
Lao Feng quickly shook his head to express his loyalty: "Wherever the master is, we will be there. The master has not left, how can we know how to leave?"
This sounds good.
Bai Qingwen showed his first smile tonight.
"But I still don't understand. We can obviously leave with Madam and the others now. As long as we leave, even if Chu Ze is very capable, he can't do anything to us." Old Feng couldn't figure it out.
Bai Qingwen was in a good mood today and decided to talk to him more.
"Old Feng, how many years have you been with us?" Bai Qingwen asked.
Old Feng did the math and said, "Almost twenty years."
Twenty years, time flies really fast.
Bai Qingwen sighed in his heart and spoke slowly: "You are the old man who is with us, the one who knows our affairs the most and understands us best. We have suffered such a big mistake from Chu Ze. Do you think we’ll leave without even a fart?”
Of course not.
Old Feng answered silently in his heart.
Bai Qingwen didn't need him to say it.
He stood up with his hands on the armrests, paced in the living room, and said: "This Chu Ze is also a character. We have been operating here for decades, and officials, big and small, have changed one after another, but our roots , are firmly rooted here. As long as we set foot on this land of Fuzhou, who dares not to give us face?"
"But he, Chu Ze, dares!"
Bai Qingwen gritted his teeth with hatred.
He pointed outside and cursed loudly: "How long has Chu Ze been here, ah? How long has he been here! He actually forced us to reach this stage!" He was forced to move his family away, which forced him to He had to deal with his shop in three ways, almost driving him to death!
Oh, he Chu Ze is really a character.
Do you think he can avoid avenging such revenge?
He has no choice but to retaliate!
"Now that our family members have moved away and our property is being dealt with, we have no worries now." He has no restrictions on what he wants to do.
He will leave as soon as the matter here is settled.
He left Ming Dynasty and went to Ryukyu to continue to be the richest man in the world.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingwen's frown relaxed.
Old Feng also understood.
Bai Qingwen just refused to give in.
Unwilling to lose to Chu Ze like this.
So he has one last thing to do.
Only when this matter is settled can the resentment in his heart be dissipated.
Only then can I go to Ryukyu with peace of mind.
Otherwise, he will never sleep peacefully in his life.
To put it bluntly, it means not admitting defeat.
Now that he has said this, he, as a current man, naturally cannot back down.
He smiled and said: "Although we have a humble status, we will always follow the master. Even if we go down below, we will continue to serve the master."
Bai Qingwen turned around and patted Lao Feng on the shoulder, saying: "Don't worry, we have made arrangements. We still have decades to go. We won't let you die so soon. Damn it, it's someone else." .”
…
When Bai Qingwen was waiting for the letter of peace with all his heart.
Chu Ze was standing by the river with his hands folded. He and Zhu Di, who were standing in the same posture, were blowing the river breeze and looking at several boats of different sizes slowly approaching in the distance.
After a while, the boat docked.
A tall man wearing ordinary boatman's clothes jumped out of the boat,
This person is none other than Zhao Shifa.
Zhao Shifa walked briskly and trotted towards Chu Ze and others.
"My lord, your highness!"
Chu Ze nodded: "Did you bring them all back?"
"How can we fail to handle what the Lord has told us? There are fifteen people, many of them are here." Zhao Shifa turned sideways, raised his hand and pointed behind him, signaling Chu Ze to look at it.
Chu Ze raised his eyes, turned to Zhu Di and sighed: "This Bai Qingwen is quite cautious, and he actually built a lot of boats. Do you think he is guarding against us or Kang Cheng?"
Zhu Di thought for a moment and said, "Beware of everything."
Unfortunately, it's useless.
Chu Ze had people arranged for him early and was waiting for them to take the bait.
No, even the pot is served.
Chu Ze said to Zhao Shi: "Go and invite them all to come up and have a rest. They are all charming young ladies and noble gentlemen. It would be too unfair for them to stay on the boat all the time."
Zhu Di chuckled: "That's really nice to say."
It's actually an interrogation.
"If you have anything to ask these people, why don't you just arrest them and lock them up?" Zhu Di felt that Chu Ze was wasting his time.
During this time, they all went back and had many sweet dreams.
