Chapter 251: Madam Wang Still Has Charm

Chapter 251: Madam Wang Still Has Charm
The Minjiang River has many tributaries along its course. When it reaches Fuzhou Prefecture, the water is vast and boundless with huge waves. The widest part between the two banks is the Yuhu Lake near the estuary, which is eight miles wide and can accommodate the ships from Fuzhou Port coming in and out.

On the river, the sails were fully raised and the three-story ship was sailing upstream to the west.

There were colorful flags flying on the boat, and there was a huge wooden dragon head on the bow. A large blue flag was unfurled in the wind, with two big characters on it - Fuwei.

On the same section of the river, the fishing boats rowed their boats to avoid the attack.

As for the colorful boats that cruised on the river with status, a small boat was lowered, and the owner would either come in person or send someone to approach the Fuwei to present visiting cards and gifts. The two sides would come and go, and this "Dragon God Meeting on the River and the Sea" was naturally very lively.

"Wow!"

"Young Escort Captain, look quickly, someone has fallen into the water."

The fishing boat was unable to dodge the colorful boats on the river and turned sideways to face the waves. It was overturned by a not-so-big wave. Pots, pans, daily necessities, and the figure in the middle were floating up and down in the waves.

"Haha, Old Shi, he is too careless."

"Yes, they were following a fixed route and were going very slowly, so they bumped into him. I was so flustered that I ended up capsizing the boat, which made this 'River and Sea Dragon God Association' a joke."

"I was just feeling bored and didn't want to join in on this fun. It's interesting, really interesting..."

Lin Pingzhi was not worried. If someone really drowned, the fishermen on the Minjiang River were very good at swimming and it would be no problem for them to swim to the shore by themselves. However, he had to offer this tattered belongings to the River Dragon God.

Anyway, in his eyes, such a shabby fishing boat was like a dead tree that could be picked up easily in the woods.

After three generations of management, the Lin family gradually got rid of their identity as gangsters and became wealthy and powerful in Fuzhou Prefecture, with friends all over the world and in the government.

Friends of equal status and dignitaries in Fuzhou City may feel blessed, but ordinary people from small families, even if they don't come into direct contact with them, can only feel the pressure.

On the third floor of the Fuwei, several escort leaders were chatting.

"Captain Zhang sent a letter from Hunan, saying that Master Yu of Songfeng Temple of Qingcheng Sect in western Sichuan finally accepted the gift sent by the escort agency. Chief escort, this is a great thing."

Lin Zhennan leaned on a wide rattan chair with a pipe on the table. He picked up a small jade teacup beside him, with the tea tinting a half circle of gold on the edge. He looked at the "joke" on the river in the distance with a smug smile on his face.

The escort business is between the black and white worlds and is much riskier than sailing on the river.

But decades later, this small boat not only did not capsize, but was replaced by a large ship.

Mr. Qiang is better than his ancestors, he has the right to be proud!
Lin Zhennan smiled and said, "Okay, you have worked hard these days, Chief Zheng."

Zheng Kang smiled and said, "The Fuwei Escort Agency has clear rewards and punishments. Working for the chief escort, even if I work harder, it's all worth it."

The escort leader Zheng who was speaking was in his early thirties, tall, handsome, and somewhat bookish. He seemed out of place among the dark, rough, and strange-looking escorts around him.

In comparison, Lin Zhennan, who smokes dry tobacco all year round, has black teeth and a yellow face, and coughs up thick phlegm from time to time. He is only over fifty years old, but he already looks like an old man.

"If it weren't for Escort Master Zheng using his clan connections, Master Yu would definitely not accept it, just like in previous years."

"It is also a coincidence that my uncle is the prefect of Sichuan and has met Master Yu several times."

In the Fuwei Escort Agency, Zheng Kang knew neither martial arts nor escorting, and only assisted Lin Zhennan in welcoming and seeing off guests. However, his status was not low, because the Zheng family behind him was a top-notch official family in Fujian.

Although Zheng Kang was only a concubine's son and had no achievements, he was able to get a well-paid job in the Fuwei Escort Agency thanks to his family connections.

The other escort leaders all started out as menial servants, porters, and escorts, and fought their way up. When they saw that the clean and honest Zheng Kang could gain the favor of the chief escort leader just by writing a few letters, they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Some things are destined for you, and there is no point in others envying you.

Lin Zhennan suddenly said, "Captain Zheng, since Abbot Yu has accepted the gift, I plan to take some time in the second half of the year to go to Sichuan again to visit the Qingcheng Sect in person and plan to set up a Bashu branch. How about you come with me, and you will be the head of the branch in the future, okay?"

Being sent to a remote place to be in charge of the affairs of the Fuwei Escort Agency in a province, various incomes are inevitable, which is much better than getting a fixed salary at the headquarters.

In the past, only the escort leaders who had made great contributions to the escort agency were qualified.

Several escort leaders widened their eyes and cast envious glances at Zheng Kang.

Zheng Kang said calmly, "Thank you for your appreciation, but my family is all in Fuzhou. As the saying goes, one should not travel far away while one's parents are still alive. Please appoint someone else who is wise. I would rather stay in the headquarters and work for them."

Seeing that he was loyal, filial, benevolent, and not greedy for merit, Lin Zhennan nodded slightly, and felt that Zheng Kang was a reliable person, worthy of being a son of an aristocratic family, and praised him highly. Seeing that Zheng Kang took the initiative to give up this sweet cake, the other escort leaders no longer had any hostility, and for a while, the guests and hosts were toasting each other and having a great time.

"Chief escort, all escort leaders, perhaps due to the wind from the river, I feel a little dizzy. I would like to excuse myself and go back to my room to take a nap."

Cui Biaotou laughed and said, "Brother Zheng is too weak to travel far. If you want to travel around the world to make a name for yourself, let the brothers take care of it."

Lin Zhennan chuckled and said, "Then Brother Zheng, go and have a rest. Get some energy. The Zhaojiang Lantern Festival tonight is an annual event. Don't miss it."

"Farewell!"

Zheng Kang went downstairs and the discomfort on his face disappeared instantly.

He did not go back to his room directly, but walked along the corridors of the building, looking around, as if he was looking for something.

"Meet Madam."

A graceful figure was walking towards him. Zheng Kang stopped in his tracks, looked at the ground, and acted extremely respectful and polite.

"Is Zhennan upstairs?"

Mrs. Wang was less than 40 years old, but she was well maintained, with smooth skin, a plump chest, round and smooth cheeks, and she was in her prime. Especially since she was a martial artist, her muscles were solid, and her skin was not loose at all, making her look like a young woman in her twenties.

"Upstairs, ma'am, would you like to go up?"

Madam Wang glanced at Zheng Biaotou: "Are there any others?"

Zheng Kang smiled and said, "Captain Cui, Captain Ji, Mr. Chen and others are here. Madam, do you want to talk to the chief escort?"

"Forget it, Zhennan is talking about the escort agency, I don't want to get involved, let's talk about it later."

Zheng Kang looked at her and said softly, "Madam is beautiful and virtuous. She is a blessing to the chief escort."

Mrs. Wang smiled. No matter what age a woman is, she needs to be praised, especially for her appearance and figure.

"Captain Zheng is worthy of having read the books of sages. His words are elegant and pleasant to the ears."

If a woman from a scholarly family heard this, she would have become furious and cursed the playboy.

It just so happened that Madam Wang came from a martial arts family, the Luoyang Golden Sword Sect. Her father was the 'Invincible Golden Sword' Wang Yuanba. The girl took after her father and had a fiery temper. She prided herself on being a child of the martial arts world and dared to love and hate.

In the past years, when running the Fuwei Escort Agency, the couple always sat together to discuss matters.

It was not until the past two years, when Lin Pingzhi was about to become an adult, that she became more restrained, but her basic character remained, and she was not particular about details.

"Pingzhi is a kid who loves to fly eagles and run dogs, ride horses and hunt all day long. He reads some miscellaneous books at most, and has no interest in learning. Although the Lin family has been running the escort agency for generations, and they hope that Pingzhi will inherit the family business, they don't expect him to pass the imperial examinations, but it's always good for him to read more serious books."

"If you have time, Chief Zheng, please teach Pingzhi more for me."

Zheng Kang cupped his hands and said, "Of course, of course, Madam, don't worry."

He looked at Mrs. Wang's back as she left, her hips twisting, and swallowed hard.

"It's so moist!"

"Lin Zhennan is occupying the toilet but not doing anything. Isn't that a waste of resources?"

For a young man from an aristocratic family like Zheng Kang, even if he was born out of wedlock and had no official title, it would not be a problem for him to wear a green robe and official uniform in Fuzhou Prefecture. Why would he lower his status and join the Fuwei Escort Agency to do the business of a "carriage, boat, foot, inn and yamen"?

He has a good appearance, a good family background, and enough money, so he can get ordinary women. However, Zheng Kang has a hobby that he cannot tell anyone... The more noble the status of the woman, and the more inviolable she is, the more excited he is.

Especially Mrs. Wang, whose children are almost adults!

Two years ago, he accidentally saw Mrs. Wang from the Fuwei Escort Agency on the street, and he has been missing her ever since...

"Lin Zhennan was an escort in his early years, which damaged his foundation. Although his Yang Qi is still there, he lacks confidence. I don't believe that you can endure it!"

　I revised several drafts. It's a little late. Sorry.
