Chapter 39
After the beginning of autumn.
Although the weather is hot, it can be cool in the morning and evening.
On this day, the magpies on the tree in front of the gate of the Yingke Building kept screaming early in the morning.
The waiter in the shop said to shopkeeper Wang, "Magpies are calling, good things have come. I think business will be booming today."
It was a coincidence that this was said. At noon, a large group of chariots and horses arrived at Longmen Town.
The camel bell came leisurely, accompanied by a vigorous tune.
Shopkeeper Wang greeted them in person. They were all old acquaintances. He patted the leader of the caravan on the shoulder.
□□He has a big beard,? High nose and deep eyes,? Green eyeballs are particularly eye-catching.
"Brother Big Tiger, stay safe! How is the business this year?"
Wang Dahu smiled and said: "It's just a small business for subsistence,? It's not as good as you who travel from south to north, and earn a lot of money."
He brewed a pot of good tea himself and poured it for him.
□□Taking a sip, praised: "Good tea." Then said: "It was okay in previous years, but I'm afraid it won't work this year."
Wang Dahu suddenly became interested. He sat down next to him and asked, "How do you say that?" He stayed in Longmen Town for a long time, and rarely went out unless he had to go to Shanyang County or Liangzhou City to buy goods. .
All outside news is learned from past guests.
□□ is a Hu businessman, and he is the most well-informed about news from south to north.
The people in the caravan outside were busy arranging the goods and feeding the horses. They leaned towards him and whispered: "This world is going to be chaotic!"
Wang Dahu was shocked.
The world is in chaos, so what's the matter?
"Is the news accurate?"
□□ Stiffed his neck and said: "Why is it inaccurate? We don't plan to go to the south this year. At most, we will go to the capital. Once the goods are out of our hands, we will bring some goods back."
Speaking of the south, Wang Dahu remembered what Cheng Yanping told him earlier, and hurriedly called someone to the school.
When Wang Dahu saw what he said about someone with a nose and eyes, the tip of his nose was sweating.
It has been three or four years since Emperor Yuanguang ascended the throne, how could the world be in chaos?
□□ Seeing that he didn't believe it, he said again: "Our people received news a few days ago that the second prince rebelled in the Lingnan area, and joined forces with the Deng family of Sichuan and Sichuan and the Li family of Huguang to march northward."
Wang Dahu was speechless.
The chaos of seizing the heir was the first, and the current Emperor Yuanguang was also the Seventh Prince at that time. He was originally the emperor who had been snatched from the throne by dishonorable names. Quite well established.
If it really becomes chaotic, I'm afraid it won't stop in three to five years.
He sighed deeply.
□□patted him on the shoulder, "You are my good friend, if the war comes here, you can go to Mobei to find me."
Wang Dahu thanked indiscriminately.
There is a saying that gold nests and silver nests are not as good as their own kennels. Now that he is so old, it is difficult to leave his homeland, so why would he want to leave his hometown to escape?
......
Cheng Yanping was teaching in the school.
Zhao Hou stayed under the window, the sun was shining brightly outside, and a small area was shining brightly through the patio, surrounded by lacquered red columns, thanks to the light, it would be gloomy at night.
He leaned against the window, listening to the sound of reading aloud.
Cheng Yanping led the sentence and the students followed.When Cheng Yanping reads, his words are correct and his accent is round, and his voice is pleasant to hear. When it's the students' turn to read, it's okay to be uneven, and the accent is even more strange.
Zhao Hou thought, is this how he talks to Cheng Yanping on weekdays?
During the break between classes, Cheng Yanping came over and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to come here? Why are you here again?"
When Zhao Hou thought about Bao San, he felt lingering fear.
Although he knew that nothing would happen to Cheng Yanping in Longmen Town, he still felt uneasy in his heart. If he didn't see him well, even if he was busy with other things, he would be uneasy.
It was like this when he got up early to weed the vegetable field.
He almost hoeed his own foot.
Cheng Yanping couldn't help him, so he turned around and went back to the school.
When the people from the Yingke Building came to deliver the letter, Cheng Yanping was letting the students copy and write. Hearing that Hu Shang was coming, he hurriedly left the ancestral hall only to say "write carefully".
Zhao Hou pulled him back, "You run slowly, since those Hu merchants have to rest, they won't leave so quickly."
Cheng Yanping smiled at him.
Concern is chaotic, but I forgot about it. When I got to the gate of the welcoming building, I saw people in the caravan carrying goods. The glass cups in the wooden boxes had strange shapes, reflecting colorful halos in the sunlight. .
There are also spices, various gemstones, carpets and so on.
Cheng Yanping couldn't keep his eyes occupied. When he was in the capital, he had heard that Hu merchants had all kinds of novelty items. At that time, there were orchids in the wine shops in Beijing. These orchids were all tall and good at singing and dancing.
Seeing Cheng Yanping coming, Wang Dahu came out to greet him, and introduced to the police: "This is our teacher in Longmen Town, Mr. Cheng, he is from the capital, and he is very knowledgeable."
□□Being a businessman for many years, he has seen countless beauties, but this is the first time he has seen someone as handsome as Cheng Yanping.
The long hair like a waterfall is fixed behind the head with a wooden hairpin, revealing the snow-white neck, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like stars, the cheeks are flushed, and the corners of the lips are smiling.
□□Curved knees and was about to reach out to shake Cheng Yanping's hand and kiss him.
"Oh, my God. There are such wonderful people in the world!"
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a "wall" between the two of them. The man had dark skin, and a cold chill burst out from his eyes, staring at him like a poisonous snake.
Wang Dahu came out to smooth things over, pulled Zhao Hou aside, and explained: "This is the etiquette of his place."
"This is Dayu!"
Zhao Hou replied coldly, there was no way to kiss the hand of his family's banquet.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Dahu knew that it didn't make sense, so he smiled apologetically at Barter, "The hunter in the town has never seen the world, so don't mind."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Cheng Yanping and said, "Don't you need to ask □□ for help? Say it now, I have been good friends with □□ for many years."
□□Slightly folded his chest and saluted.
"Happy to serve you, my beauty!"
Cheng Yanping blushed and said: "I heard that you will go to Lingnan, and I want to ask you to bring a letter. Is it convenient or not?" Seeing that his eyes were troubled, he said, "Money is not a problem."
□□Shaking his head, he explained: "It's not about money, it's just that there is war in the south. We don't plan to go to Lingnan this year. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this matter."
"War chaos?"
Cheng Yanping asked curiously.
Shopkeeper Wang took over the conversation and said: "I heard that the second prince is going to fight back to the capital to regain the throne."
Cheng Yanping's heart jumped up, and he grabbed Wang Dahu's arm.
"Second prince? Is what you said true?"
Shopkeeper Wang didn't expect him to have such a strong hand, and his arm was almost broken by him, "That's naturally true. The business of **** is all over the world, and the news is the most well-informed."
Cheng Yanping looked at □□ again.
□□Nodding solemnly, "It's absolutely true, truer than gold!"
Cheng Yanping grabbed Zhao Hou's arm again, "Did you hear that? It's the second prince, and the second prince is still alive..."
Zhao Hou had never seen Cheng Yanping lose his composure like this before, he hurriedly nodded and said: "I heard it, I heard it!" Cheng Yanping was happy, and he was naturally happy too.
But the next moment, Cheng Yanping's eyes turned red.
Zhao Hou hurriedly pulled him into his arms, and gently stroked his back.
"This is a happy thing, why are you crying again?"
Cheng Yanping choked and said, "But... but swords have no eyes on the battlefield, what if something happens to my brother?"
"this???"
Zhao Hou didn't think of how to comfort him for a while, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Since the big change in the family, Cheng Yanping has also looked away from many things, and said to himself: "You are right, this is a happy thing, the second prince is the best friend to my elder brother, and I will definitely protect him. hurt him."
□□Seeing that the two were hugging and hugging, they whispered to the shopkeeper Wang.
"them?"
Shopkeeper Wang nodded, "Yes, they are a couple."
□□Looking disappointed.
After Cheng Yanping figured it out, he turned around and asked, "Do you sell the things in your car?"
As soon as he talked about business, he became energetic in an instant.
"Sell, sell, of course it's for sale. If a beauty likes something, just buy it, and I'll give you a discount!"
Seeing his incomparable hospitality, Zhao Hou's momentum sank.
"I can still afford this amount of money, and you don't need a discount."
Cheng Yanping took advantage of other people's attention and pinched Zhao Hou's lower back fiercely. How can anyone think that the money is too much, and they don't even want a discount?
□□Led Cheng Yanping out to pick things up.
Cheng Yanping was very curious about these objects, and picked out a carpet, a blanket, some beeswax, gemstones, etc., and picked out some cups and saucers with strange patterns, and some spices.
Zhao Hou didn't know whether these things were expensive or not, and seeing that Cheng Yanping was happy to buy them, he didn't care.
It was only when I paid that I realized that these things were very expensive. Even if I got a discount, it almost cost my family money.
Xu Shi saw that Cheng Yanping had bought a lot of things, and before he left, he specially gave him a small bucket of wine.
Zhao Hou was rarely sweating.
Fortunately, I went to the mountains to hunt a lot of prey a few days ago, and I also exchanged a lot of money for furs, otherwise I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself in front of outsiders.
Cheng Yanping's mood has never been so good.
When I went back, I hummed a little tune, the tune was soft and lingering, which was very nice.
Zhao Hou followed him with a lot of things in his arms, "Is this enough to buy? If not, how many more would you like to pick?"
Cheng Yanping squinted at him.
"Then do you have any silver?"
The financial power is in his hands, and he knows better than him how much money the family has.
Zhao Hou said in a deep voice: "I can go to shopkeeper Wang to borrow some, and I will pay him back in three or two days."
Cheng Yanping laughed.
This idiot, is he such a prodigal?
He drank the wine once in Beijing, the aftertaste was sweet, and he said: "Zhao Hou, you set up a firepit tonight, we can roast something to eat, paired with this red wine, it will complement each other the most."
Zhao Hou thought to himself, is this red wine really that delicious?
Better than the mulberry wine he made himself?
Is it better than burning a knife?
Seeing Cheng Yanping so happy, he also became happy.
"Okay, then I'll prepare in the afternoon!"
