Chapter 3220 Gathering

Bai Shan and Yin arrived on the third day. By that time, the two children were already playing crazy at the beach.

The two of them took a small wooden shovel, a small wooden cart, and a small wooden horse. When they arrived at the beach, they occupied a beach and could sit on the sand and play all day.

Zhou Man put on little hats for them and ignored them. She and Mingda stood on the beach and stared at the sea in a daze.

The wharf is already being completed. Compared with the wharf three years ago, the current wharf is about twice the size and can accommodate three times the number of ships as the Laizhou wharf.

Zhou Man looked at the endless sea and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can't go out to see the sea. It would be great to have a chance to cross the sea on a sea boat and go to Baekje Silla."

Mingda: "I think so too."

The two couldn't help but turned to look at each other and laughed.

Zhou Man did the math in his mind and said, "I will resign when the medical department is on track. Then I can go wherever I want."

"What should Bai Shan do?"

Zhou Man: "If he is still an official, I will come back to see him often."

Mingda couldn't help laughing, and then said: "I will go with you then."

Zhou Man raised his eyebrows, "Will the princess of Jin Dynasty go to Baekje, Silla?"

Mingda pursed his lips and smiled and said: "What's the point? The princess can go, but the princess can't?"

"I, the princess, came later, but you, the princess, were born, different." Zhou Man had already thought about it, "When the time comes, you can ask His Majesty to become an envoy, and we will even waive the travel expenses."

Mingda snorted, "You are too frugal. Your income from your fiefdom and farm is not low, and you have income from paper mills. How can you still be so frugal?"

Zhou Man said seriously: "This is not saving, this is for safety. If you are an envoy and go to Baekje and Silla, they will have to protect your safety. Isn't it better than concealing your identity and going there yourself?"

"We went there to understand the folk customs, not to experience the sufferings of the people. There is no need to hide our identities for this purpose."

Mingda: "You went there to dig up other people's flowers and plants, right?"

Zhou Man hugged her arm and said, "I can't hide anything from you."

The two of them were talking about the excitement when a horn sounded from the other side of the pier. Zhou Man listened for a while and then said: "A ship has entered the port. Do you want to go and see the excitement?"

"I don't know where the boat is from," Mingda said, "I also want to bring some things back to Sister Changyu. She has now paid her filial piety, and Wei's consort is looking for a vacancy. He may leave Beijing soon."

Zhou Man immediately said after hearing this: "Let's go and take a look. If there are any good things, I will buy some too. Then you can help me bring them to her."

The two turned around and took the two children with them.

The two children were unwilling to leave the beach. They kept kicking their dangling feet and shouted: "I won't go, I won't go, I want to build a city wall."

Zhou Man lowered his head and glanced at their masterpiece. He was disgusted and said, "Whose city wall looks like this? It's crooked and so short. Stop playing around. Let's go see the good stuff first and build it again when we come back."

"No, no," Bai Jingxing sank down hard, trying hard to step on the beach with his little feet, "Let's play by ourselves, mother, you can play by yourself, we don't need you to take care of us."

Bai Ruoyu didn't want to leave either. She struggled in the hands of the palace maids and looked like she would open her mouth and cry if they didn't agree.

Mingda said: "Forget it, let them stay here and leave them a few more servants."

Longchi Pier is relatively safe. Zhou Manlue agreed after thinking about it, and told Bai Jingxing: "You can only play on the beach, and you can't go to the sea. Do you understand?"

"Know."

The two children, Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu, don't like the sea water now because they have already chased the waves and don't find it much fun. Digging in the sand is the most fun.

As soon as the two children were put down, they immediately ran back to their own territory, picked up a small wooden shovel and continued to play the wall-building game conscientiously.

Mingda turned to look at the eldest palace maid, "Keep an eye on them."

"yes."

Mingda and Zhouman went to the dock.

There was a lot of excitement there, and many day laborers were squatting on the edge of the dock waiting to be selected, and some had already been selected to carry goods.

Further ahead, there were many business travelers with different clothes waiting for them.

These people don't have the capital to get on the ship, but even though they don't have the capital to get on the ship, they can still pick up some relatively cheap goods at the dock and sell them to the inland and north, where they can also make a lot of money.

As soon as Zhou Man and Ming Da came over, there was no need for the guards to step forward to separate everyone, they just got out of the way with a wink.

There is also the enthusiasm of Chang Hun Wharf to greet Zhou Man, "Mr. Zhou, are you here to enjoy the scenery or to see the goods?"

Zhou Man: "There are so many other good places for viewing, why would I come here?"

She glanced forward and asked, "Where did this boat come from?"

Soon, a few laborers in short coats squeezed out from the front, and they shouted: "Don't wait, this is coming from Laizhou Wharf, just load some goods here and leave. There are not many good things unloaded here."

When everyone heard that they were from Laizhou, they immediately dispersed and waited in another place, "Counting the days, the boat to Baekje should be back by now, right?"

"I think I'll be back soon. I don't know what good things I can bring back."

Zhou Man and Mingda did not leave, however. They stared at Tang He who walked out of the pier with wide eyes, "Senior Brother Tang?"

Tang He didn't expect to see them as soon as he got off the boat, and immediately stepped forward happily, "Are you here to pick me up?"

Mingda's smile froze slightly, but Zhou Man nodded, "Senior Brother Tang, why did you take the sea route instead of the land route?"

Tang He: "...You don't even know the sea route I took, so why are you here to pick me up?"

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence?" Zhou Man turned sideways and said enthusiastically: "Senior Brother Tang, please—"

Tang He laughed angrily at her and couldn't help but raise the fan in his hand. However, thinking that Zhou Man was no longer a little girl, he didn't slap the fan down. He put his hand behind his back, shook his head and walked along.

"Where's Bai Shan?"

"They haven't arrived yet." As soon as Zhou Man finished speaking, a guard squeezed through the crowd and came in to report: "Madam, Master Lang and the others have arrived and are waiting in the other courtyard."

Zhou Man glanced behind Tang He and saw that he had only three people with him, so he asked: "Brother Tang, do you want to visit Longchi Pier first, or go to the other courtyard to rest first?

"

Tang He thought for a while and then said: "Let the guards take the luggage to the other courtyard. Let's walk around."

Tang He visited Longchi Wharf in June. It is not much different from before, except that the wharf has been basically built and many things have been cleaned up. It looks cleaner and tidier than last time.

Since it was a casual walk, Zhou Man took him to the restaurant. It was almost time for dinner.
