Hua Fushu looked at Ye Zelin's back and smiled lightly. Originally, she was still thinking about the money, but now she has no thoughts at all.

This was used by the imperial court to build water conservancy projects, and it was a good thing that benefited the people. No matter how much I suffered in Qingyun Mountain, I couldn't take this idea.

After meeting up with Yin Jiujiu and others, everyone headed to Xiangshui Town. When they arrived, it was already dark, and the moon was shining brightly in the blue sky. Hua Fushu took the people directly to Xiangshui Pier.

Xiangshui Town is built near the water and has three or four docks, the largest of which is the Xiangshui Wharf in Caobang, Xiangshui.

Two large ships were moored on the broad and calm river. The lights were lit on the ships, illuminating the ships brightly. Workers carried bags of goods on board, and a tall and strong man held a booklet in his hand to check. Number and inventory of goods.

Hua Fushu recognized the sturdy man at a glance. He was her second brother, Shang Lu, the leader of the Xiangshui Cao Gang. He was the thirteenth in the clan and was known as Shang Thirteen.

In fact, she also had a sworn brother, the head of the Huo family who treated Ouyang's second master Ouyang from madness at the Ouyang family.

Becoming sworn friends with the leader of the Huo family is a sign of similar interests and a long-lasting acquaintance. Becoming sworn friends with Shang Shisan is a kind of kindness that is hard to refuse and cannot be tolerated.

Back then, she got the news about the destruction of the Xiangshui Cao Gang from Shen Jianjia, the master of Yiren Pavilion. She reported it to her master and asked for his opinion. The master asked her to make her own decision, so she brought a banknote of 30,000 taels of silver. When he arrived at Xiangshui Town, he found Shang Shisan and worked with him to reorganize the Xiangshui Cao Gang.

Shang Shisan is very capable. After the Xiangshui Cao Gang was rebuilt, he quickly attracted a large amount of business. With his efforts, the Xiangshui Cao Gang became the largest water transport company in the entire Dongting County in just one year. , even exceeding the scale of official water transportation, and there are docks and ships all over the Dongting County water system.

When the Xiangshui Cao Gang was rebuilt, Shang Shisan was grateful to her and wanted to become a brother and sister with different surnames several times. In the end, she couldn't bear Shang Shisan's hospitality. Her elder brother, Shang Shisan became her sworn second brother.

"Second brother."

A familiar voice came to his ears. Shang Shisan thought he had misheard it, so he didn't care.

Hua Fushu thought she screamed too softly and Shang Shisan didn't hear it, so she doubled her voice, "Shang Shisan!"

Shang Shisan finally knew that he had not misheard. The voice seemed so familiar, like his great benefactor, his sworn sister Xiaohua.

He turned around and saw a girl standing under the dim light in the distance. It was his adopted sister who he had not seen for two years!

She looks taller than two years ago, her face is not as round as it was two years ago, and her eyes are still so clear and bright.

"Little flower girl!"

Shang Shisan gave the book in his hand to the boy beside him, ran over quickly, walked to Hua Fushu, and said excitedly: "Sister, it is you indeed, I thought I heard wrong! Why are you here? , the last time we saw each other was two years ago, the brothers and sisters in our gang really want you to be our guests!"

Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Little sister, you are not here to disturb Brother Thirteen."

Shang Shisan said: "You said you, a member of your own family, why should you be polite to your brother?"

Hua Fushu said: "I'm not polite to Brother Thirteen. I don't need my help for anything."

Only then did Shang Shisan see a large number of people standing behind Hua Fushu. There were about fifty or sixty of them. The few closest to her were all young men in their twenties. The farther back they went, the harder it was to see. The faces include those of men, women, and children, mostly men in their prime.

He asked: "Who are these people that you brought?"

Hua Fushu nodded, "My friend and brother." She smiled and said pitifully, "Brother Thirteen, I'm hungry. If you have anything to do, wait until I eat."

Sanqiao also said: "Brother Thirteen, I'm hungry too."

Shang Shisan looked at the pitiful master and servant with tired faces, ordered the boy to check the goods for him, and took Hua Fushu and others home.

Shang Shisan's home is a large house with three entrances. There are two large lanterns hanging in front of the door. The two ink Chinese characters "Shang" are written on the gauze covering the lanterns. When the servant saw his master coming back, he came out and said, "Master, what are you doing?" Come back soon, the eldest lady is still saying that there are many goods, and I will not be back until later."

Shang Shisan patted the servant on the shoulder and said happily: "Go and tell the lady that the little flower girl is here and ask her to come out to meet the guests."

Only then did the servant notice the girl next to Shang Shisan. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the master had a godmother who was a great benefactor to their Xiangshui Cao Gang.

The servant was about to go in to find the lady in charge, but Hua Fushu stopped him and said to Shang Shi, "Brother Thirteen, there's no need to disturb my sister-in-law. I'll straighten my clothes and go see my sister-in-law."

Shang Shisan's joy has not faded to this day. He said: "Look at me, I'm so happy. Why don't I ask my sister to meet her again after eating, drinking and resting?"

It goes without saying that Hua Fushu had a good relationship with Shang Shisan. He said directly: "Brother Shisan, my friends would also like to ask you to say hello."

"I told you not to be polite to brother." Shang Shisan ordered his servant to greet his friends who were following him.

Shang Shisan led Hua Fushu through the door. Ye Zelin, Qin Youran, Mu Qing, Yu Chisu, Sanqiao, Jingmo, and Nanxing followed Hua Fushu consciously. Cangzhu pulled Jiang Li's sleeves, and Jiang Li understood, no Following Nan Xing's footsteps, he and Cang Zhu followed Sai Yuhuan and others.

Although the servant didn't know the relationship between these people and Hua Fushu, Hua Fushu was the god-sister of the head of the family and a great benefactor of the Xiangshui Cao Gang, so he naturally did not dare to neglect them. He invited Sai Yuhuan and others into the house, and greeted them Several boys came to help greet friends like Hua Fushu.

Everyone entered the merchant's house, but Cang Zhu and the others had not yet entered. Cang Shu said to Jiang Li, "Keep an eye on them."

Jiang Li said calmly: "Understood."

The servant waved to the two of them: "Why don't you two come in?"

Only then did Cang Zhu and Jiang Li enter the door.

Knowing that Hua Fushu was hungry, Shang Shisan immediately ordered his servant to make noodles. While making noodles, Sanqiao and Shang Shisan asked for paper and pen. Only then did Shang Shisan realize that Hua Fushu was injured, so he immediately called his servant Bring pen and paper.

Huafu read out the prescriptions, and Sanqiao was responsible for writing them. There were two prescriptions, one for pain relief and inflammation, and one for removing scars and promoting muscle growth. After the prescription was written, Shang Shisan took his servant to the drug store to get some medicine.

Hua Fushu invited Shang Thirteen to sit down, then pulled Ye Zelin over and introduced: "Brother Thirteen, this is my little sister's husband, Ye Zelin. I didn't invite my brother to have a glass of wedding wine at the wedding. I hope my brother Haihan."

Ye Zelin bowed and said, "Don't blame Fushu for this. Something happened at that time. I set the wedding date early, and Fushu's invitation was delivered. My brother couldn't make it to the wedding banquet. If you want to blame me, blame me."

Shang Shisan showed no dissatisfaction and said: "That's it. Why should sister feel guilty? Brother, how can I blame you? I'll give you a replacement gift tomorrow."
