nChapter 150 – Playing With The Sand By The Sea
nGood merchants could always smell interested and arrive in the shortest possible time.
nThree years ago, the docks in the Yabian Village was still unknown, but in the past two years many merchants in Hexing Province learned about this place and some of them even specially arranged foe their people to stay here so as soon as they get news that Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming returned from the sea they could immediately come here.
nIf they could buy rare things from overseas first, they may earn several times more after selling it, so who could not be eager to do so?
nJiang Zhen said he wanted to spend time with his family, but the next day he was busy with taking care of goods.
nThe most precious things Jiang Zhen brought back this time were potatoes and chili peppers.
nYes, this time he was able to get some potatoes and chili peppers from these European merchants, but it was in such small quantities that it may take years before he would be able to grow them on a large scale.
nFor Jiang Zhen, these two things were the most precious, but for others, it was not the case.
nThese businessmen come for glazed mirrors and glass, in addition they also liked all kind of precious stones.
nAs soon as Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming came back, they sold half of the mirrors and glass because they knew that the people Zheng Yi brought were definitely not of low status, but they would not sell the rest at once.
nDoing business, you need to learn how to be patient and wait for a good price.
nAfter more and more businessmen came to the seaside, Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming stopped coming forward and only asked their men to sell the relatively worthless things they had brought.
nConverted to the Gregorian calendar it was now July but it should be September. The weather has not yet cooled down and the beach was not too hot so in general it was very comfortable.
nJiang Zhen took his children with one hand and went to his own “private beach” to play.
nAs a matter of fact, he also wanted to take Zhao Jinge with him but unfortunately, Zhao Jinge still had to deal with Jinzhen escort agency matters and could not play with them, so he did not force him to do so.
nIn Zhao family private beach there were some vines growing in the sand, there were also a large pavilion so during high tide, the seawater would occasionally swept under the pavilion.
nJiang Zhen looked at the situation and simply took off his coat and pants, simply wearing a pair of short to lie down under the gazebo and letting his children play beside him.
nZhao Mingzhu carried a small bucket and dug the sand with a small shovel, but Zhao Chengyu just looked at Jiang Zhen curiously for a while before grabbing his chest bulge and sucked it for a while with his mouth.
nJiang Zhen: “…”
nHis son was breast-fed by a wet nurse since he was born and finished not to long ago so… he wanted milk now?
n“Father, dig with me.” Zhao Mingzhu got tired of digging by herself after a while and wanted Jiang Zhen to accompany her.
nBut at this moment, Jiang Zhen did not want to move at all: “Mingzhu digs by yourself… How about this, Mingzhu? why don’t you dig up more sand and bury your father? “
nAs Jiang Zhen spoke, he grabbed a handful of sand and put it on his stomach.
nZhao Jinge loved his two children very much and was willing to accompany them when he was free, and so were Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu. But they would never let their daughter
/ granddaughter bury themselves as shamelessly as Jiang Zhen.
nTherefore, Zhao Mingzhu felt that this was something new and giggled as she dug up the sand to bury Jiang Zhen.
nZhao Chengyu quickly learned everything from his elder sister. Seeing that his elder sister did it he mimicked his elder sister’s movement and began to shovel sand on Jiang Zhen.
nThe three of them were having a good time when some voices suddenly came from not far away.
n“There’s a pavilion here!”
n“Let’s go to the pavilion and take a break.”
n“There’s someone in the pavilion!”
n…
nJiang Zhen frowned when he heard those voices.
nHe built a fence on both sides of the beach, although that fence was not high it still let other know to not come in casually. But there were still some people who come casually.
nZhao Mingzhu had already piled a lot of sand on him so in order to prevent it from falling, Jiang Zhen could not stand up casually. So he just turned his head and saw few 17 or 18-year-old teenage girls walking over in pairs.
nThere were no such guests in the Zhao family, and even if there were Zhao Jinge who knew he was playing with children on the beach would not let them come over here, so these few people definitely climbed over the wall.
nLooking at their clothes, they were expensive and noble-looking. He didn’t know what family’s young ladies not stayed at the docks and came to this secluded place. But, they still climbed over other people fences.
nJiang Zhen saw those people so those people also saw Jiang Zhen lying in the sand, he had a tanned face and there were two dirty children next to him.
nJiang Zhen used to take Zhao Mingzhu with him wherever he went, and Zhao Jinge continued this habit.
nIn the past three years, Zhao Jinge took his two children wherever he went so the two children were not very spoiled and were even a little tanned.
nAt this time, because they were in their own house, Jiang Zhen dressed them in short sleeves and shorts so after playing with sand for a while they looked even more rough.
nThose few teenage girls who came over frowned seeing this situation.
nThey walked along the beach for a long time and sweated a lot due to the hot weather so they really wanted to rest in this pavilion. But there was already someone there.
n“Hey, go elsewhere to play. Give us this place to rest.”
n“Come on, hurry up and go away, take your things too.”Another person pointed to the stuff on the lounge chair under the pavilion and said.
n“This is my place, it’s you guys who should go away.” Jiang Zhen said.
n“It’s already your privilege that we have taken a fancy to this place so you should know what to do and hurry up.” A young girl said, in a twinkling of an eye and suddenly found that on the lounge chair there were also pants and other clothes.
nHer eyes suddenly opened wide as she looked at his body buried in the sand, Jiang Zhen was definitely not wearing any top judging from his exposed shoulders so she said angrily: “You’re not even wearing clothes! How disgusting is that!?”
n“You better get the hell out of here.” Jiang Zhen’s brow furrowed as his voice become colder.
nThese teenage girls were all held in high esteem since they were young, so when Jiang Zhen wanted to drive them away they naturally become unhappy: “Why should we go? You are the one who should go!”
n“That’s right!” Another person said: “Are you a servant here or a person from a neighborhood village? Do you know who we are?”
nWhile they were talking, one of the teenagers suddenly exclaimed: “Mirror!”
nHearing that teenager words, the people present all looked over in unison and found a palm-sized mirror on the sand next to that lounge chair.
nThey begged Wen Yingniang for a long time, but Wen Yingniang refused to give them a mirror. But now such an expensive mirror was placed casually on the sand.
nThese teenage girls were all members of the Wen family.
nIn the past, Wen Yingniang still had the idea of going back to the Minnan province but after having a child she give up this idea.
nHer husband married into her family so she give birth to a child surnamed Wen. Wen Ming also had a lot of face in the Wen family…. In that case, if she took her family and come back it could be considered that she wanted to rob the family fortune from her brothers.
nAfter all, after her husband married into her family their children were part of Wen family tree.
nShe has no intention of hearing about every family’s wealth so she decided to not go back, since her children were also not the only ones in the Wen family tree.
nHowever, although Wen Yingniang has tried her best to avoid suspicion after seeing Wen Ming leave the Wen family and his business getting bigger and bigger some people in the Wen family wouldn’t help becoming restless.
nEven Wen Yingniang’s elder brothers have a lot of complaints about Wen Yingniang stealing Wen Ming to set up her own business, not to mention others.
nThe Wen family hoped that Wen Yingniang and Wen Ming could go back, preferably with the fleet of ships and their belongings so they could become part of Wen family wealth.
nBut naturally, Wen Yingniang was unwilling to do so.
nShe did not covet the property of the Wen family, if Wen family wanted her to give back her dowry she wouldn’t say anything. But Wen Ming risked his life by going to sea to make money for their children so no matter what she was unwilling to give it to the Wen family.
nWen Yingniang refused to go back so finally one of Wen Yingniang’s cousins come over with Wen family younger generation. These teenage girls in front of them were the younger generation of the Wen family.
nThey came this time to persuade Wen Yingniang and Wen Ming to go back. At the same time, this cousin of Wen Yingniang, also has some other thoughts, thinking that if Wen Yingniang was not willing to go back he would persuade Wen Ming to become his son-in-law.
nWen Yingniang actually has no ability, it was Wen Ming who was the golden Bodhisattva!
nNot long after this group of people came here, they met Wen Ming who just come back from the sea. They also knew that Wen Ming had brought back some mirrors and immediately asked Wen Yingniang about them. But at this time, Wen Yingniang who already knew their little thoughts refused them.
nThese teenage girls were embarrassed by Wen Yingniang, so they walked out of the Wen family’s house and walked along the beach.
nThe house of the Wen family and the house of the Zhao family was not far away, so why don’t they just come to the Zhao family house? As for the previous fence, they regard it as the fence of the Wen family.
nAfter a young girl saw the mirror, she grabbed it and turned it in her hands as she frowned at Jiang Zhen: “Who are you? How can you have this kind of mirror? Did you steal it?”
nThese people are new to Hexing Province so they only knew that Wen Ming brought a lot of mirrors back from overseas, but they didn’t know about Jiang Zhen existence or Jiang Zhen himself.
