A knife in love

Chapter 2899
Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng stopped hastily, and was about to comfort Murong Danyan when Ding Guan and Zhou Xian, who were walking on the left and right sides, also stopped.The two didn't know what happened, so they couldn't help but looked at each other, with puzzled expressions on their faces.Ding Guan said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Li, Miss Mu, do you two have something important to do?"

Li Qiufeng thought that this matter was too bizarre and it was a secret, so naturally he couldn't tell Ding Guan about it.So he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Miss Mu had some headaches just now, so she stopped to take a rest. Mr. Ding doesn't have to worry."

At this time Murong Danyan had also come to his senses, secretly cursing himself for disregarding priorities and almost showing his flaws in front of Ding Guan and Zhou Xian.As soon as Li Qiufeng finished speaking, she rushed to say: "I'm fine, don't worry about Mr. Laoding, we'd better get to the pier as soon as possible."

Ding Guan is a person who is experienced in the world. Seeing Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan's expressions were a little weird when they were talking, he guessed that they were not telling the truth, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only say with a smile: "The next few days He ordered his servants to buy a lot of medicinal materials, all of which were transported to the big ship, and also prepared a lot of proprietary medicines. After we arrive at the pier, if Miss Mu still has a headache, you might as well find a few pills and take them, maybe they will have a miraculous effect."

Li Qiufeng thanked Ding Guan, and said: "Mr. Ding is thoughtful, and Li admires it."

As soon as Li Qiufeng finished speaking, Zhou Xian chuckled and said, "Mr. Ding has prepared so many medicinal materials. If he brings them to Fusang, it will be at least sixteen or seventeen times as profitable."

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan heard Zhou Xian's words, they suddenly realized that they had heard Ding Guan's words just now, and they also admired this man's thoughtfulness. They were worried that someone would get sick during the voyage, so they bought a lot of medicinal materials and patent medicines and put them on the ship for later use. .Unexpectedly, Zhou Xian said a word out of the blue, and then he realized that Ding Guan brought a lot of medicinal materials to Fusang country, not because he was worried that someone would get sick at sea, but because he wanted to buy low and sell high, and go to Fusang country to make a fortune. Windfall.This person is indeed a big businessman with a huge family fortune, and he has already made up his mind to make a fortune.

Zhou Xian exposed Ding Guan's tricks. He was a cunning and thick-skinned man, and his expression was slightly embarrassed at this moment.I only heard him laugh twice, and said in his mouth: "Master Zhou is joking, I don't mean it. But Master Zhou reminded me that after we arrive in Fusang country, if we have surplus medicinal materials and patented medicines, we might as well sell them to Fusang people , earning some silver is also very good.”

Zhou Xian was a military officer in the Dengzhou Weishui Division, and he often dealt with businessmen on weekdays, so he naturally knew the tricks of these businessmen.Although the Daming sea ban is very strict, but the merchants spent a lot of money, and the navy officers and soldiers benefited, so they naturally turned a blind eye, and would not embarrass the merchants who went to sea privately to trade with the Fusang people.So Ding Guan was able to fool Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, but he couldn't hide it from Zhou Xian.It's just that Zhou Xian saw Ding Guan's awkward expression at the beginning, then his face remained normal, and finally said a half-truth and half-false sentence to dispel the embarrassment.This kind of machine-changing kung fu is really admirable.

The four of them moved forward again, and they had already reached the gate of Tianhou Temple.Li Qiufeng was afraid that Murong Danyan would be afraid, so he intentionally or unintentionally stood on the left side of Murong Danyan to protect her body.Murong Danyan turned his head to the right, pretending to look around, but he didn't dare to look at Tianhou Temple on the left.

Zhou Xian glanced at the Tianhou Temple, and said to Ding Guan in a rough voice: "After I entered the city, I asked where the old shop of Yu's family was located, and came here in a daze. The first time I saw this Tianhou Temple , I was really surprised. There is also a Tianhou Temple in Dengzhou, which is much smaller than this Tianhou Temple in terms of scale. It stands to reason that Dengzhou is much larger than Dong'an City. Why is the Tianhou Temple The scale is far smaller than here?"

Hearing what Zhou Xian said, Li Qiufeng's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that I just didn't understand why we came to the gate of Tianhou Palace. It turned out that after Zhou Xian entered the city, he walked to Yu's old shop while inquiring.Just now after we left Yu's old shop, Zhou Xian and Ding Guan were walking on the left and right sides of Miss Murong and me, and Zhou Xian walked faster than Ding Guan, so before we knew it, Miss Murong, Ding Guan and I walked together. All the viewers followed Zhou Xian, and then they came to the gate of Tianhou Palace.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Ding Guan laughingly said: "Lord Zhou just arrived in Dong'an City, I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation in the city. In terms of scale, Dong'an City is naturally far inferior to Dengzhou, but the Tianhou Palace in the city The background of the temple is not small, as far as I know, in terms of scale, not to mention the Tianhou Temple in Dengzhou City is not as good as here, and there is no Tianhou Palace Temple of this scale in other seaside cities."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan listened to Ding Guan's words, they were all engrossed in their hearts, and they all looked at Ding Guan at the same time.I only heard Ding Guan continue to say: "The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and the coast is even longer. From Liaodong to the south to Qiongtai, there are more than [-] miles, and there are no less than two to three hundred coastal cities. Among them, there are more than forty large cities, and the small cities are not counted. Most of these large and small cities have wharves for fishermen to go fishing, and merchants also go to sea from various wharves to transport and sell goods along the sea route.”

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Since ancient times, people who go out to sea are most afraid of encountering waves at sea. In addition, they are also worried about being robbed by pirates and ending up with no bones left. And the huge waves No matter whether it is pirates or pirates, they cannot be resisted by human beings, so I don’t know from which dynasty or generation, these seaside cities have built Tianhou temples one after another, praying to the Goddess of the Sea to bless those who went to sea to return safely. Dong’an City and Deng The capital of the state is by the sea, so it is not uncommon to have a temple in the city."

Listening to Ding Guan's eloquent talk, Zhou Xian couldn't help nodding his head.At this moment, the four of them had reached the main gate of Tianhou Temple, Ding Guan stopped, pointed at the gate of Tianhou Palace and said: "Three, please see, what is so strange about the gate of Tianhou Palace?"

Li Qiufeng and the others were stunned, and couldn't help turning their heads to look at Tianhou's palace.I saw that the gate of Tianhou Temple was more than two feet high, and the gate in the middle was the tallest, with carved beams and painted buildings, angled corners and cornices, which was extremely gorgeous.There is a side door on the left and right sides, although the scale is slightly smaller, it is also as high as Zhangxu.Li Qiufeng and others looked at it for a while, thinking that this gate is huge and unique.But if there is anything weird, I can't see it for a while.

Ding Guan saw that Li Qiufeng and the others looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while, knowing that the three of them couldn't see anything strange about the gate, he couldn't help but smile, and said in his mouth: "Actually, the strangeness of this gate is that It’s on the plaque at the top of the gate. It’s just that this gate is too gorgeous, and anyone who sees the gate is just amazed in their hearts, unavoidably half-hearted, and it’s not surprising that they can’t see the weirdness of the plaque.”
