Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 521. 520. The Second One
"Come from Guanzhong... So, they came here through Hedong County?"

"Exactly."

This response hit Li Zhen's heart.

Worrying about having no place to inquire about Lao Du's news, he nodded immediately:
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Cui! Then..."

He glanced at the direction of Xuanzang's house.

With the old grandson around, it must be safe.

Then, he immediately said:
"Let's go now?"

"Um……"

Cui Wanrong nodded first, but after looking at Li Zhen's Taoist robe, she said the same:

"Let's have dinner first, Taoist priest, and then...won't Taoist priest change clothes?"

"?"

Now Li Zhen was really puzzled, and instinctively lowered his head to look at his loose taoist robe, only to realize...it turned out that there were a few spots of oil stains on the chest of his taoist robe.

It's not too big, it should have been accidentally thrown by the bowl of noodles I ate last night.

It's not particularly dirty, but it looks a little rough when worn out.

There was a trace of embarrassment on his face, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"Let shopkeeper Cui see the joke. Then... eat first, and then we will go."

"Ah."

Two maids brought food boxes to the table.

……

The meal was eaten by Li Zhen and Sun Simiao.

However, Li Zhen ate faster than the old grandson who chewed slowly.

Two pancakes and a bowl of brown rice porridge were eaten within a few minutes.After drinking another saliva to clear his mouth, he cupped his hands to Cui Wanrong who was at the side, and walked into his room.

Entering the house, the first thing you see is the neatly folded quilt.

It must have been folded by Sun Simiao when he got up in the morning.

Gee.

Not to mention, Lao Suntou really has the taste of a refined single middle-aged man.

Everything is clean.

He dug out the burden from the cabinet, looked at those sets of Taoist robes...

The clothes on his body were newly made at Buzhuang when he came out of Luoyang City.As for the other three, one is Hongying's Taoist robe made of light and fluffy cirrus silk. It is of the highest grade, the most extraordinary, and the most handsome.

The other two are the old Taoist robes that he wore.

He didn't want to wear such ostentatious cirrus silk at first, but he saw that the necklines of the other two Taoist robes were worn to varying degrees.

There is no way, the clothes of ordinary people in this era are like this.

Because of the textile process, the fabric determines the life of a piece of clothing.

The fabric of Li Zhen's clothes, which cost seventy or eighty yuan, belongs to the worst kind of linen, especially not wear-resistant.

It will be worn out and broken in a few months.

And these two Taoist robes were made last year. First, they are a bit thick, and second, they look tattered after wearing them too much.

No way, he picked up the set of cirrus cloud silk that was as light as a cicada's wings.

……

With a "creak", the door opened.

Cui Wanrong and Sun Simiao, who were looking for the sound, showed a trace of... varying degrees of astonishment.

Black lining, white cuffs, and black and white Taoist robes followed the steps of the Taoist priest, like clouds flying every now and then.

It seemed that the young Taoist priest was extremely chic, like a fairy in a painting.

In an instant, Cui Wanrong's eyes lit up.

For a moment, he couldn't look away.

After Sun Simiao was stunned, he suddenly showed a strange expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry and a little bit of ridicule, and then lowered his head again and continued to eat.

"Cui Jushi, shall we go?"

The Taoist priest who walked on the light wind asked.

The woman whose ears were a little red came back to her senses and opened her mouth... But she didn't say anything.

Just made an invitation:
"Master Shouchu, please."

The courtyard was empty in an instant.

There is only the sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks.

Soon, after removing all the porridge from the bottom of the bowl, Sun Simiao, who put down his chopsticks, gradually showed a smile of joy on his face.

Holding a teacup, he muttered to himself:

"Hey, Maverick Nose...you are very lucky."

Recalling the scene when the woman from the Cui family came to find him at the pharmacy, said that there would be a caravan coming today, and planned to invite Taoist Shouchu to take a look at Zhiyu, the smile on his face grew stronger.

He said he was thinking about Xiaoniubi's concern about the situation in Hedong, so he went to ask in person to see if there was anything he wanted to know.

But...the caravans don't just leave when they pass by, don't these caravans come to Yuqian with their things?I really want to ask, why don't you wait for the caravan to enter and ask?
Going out of town?
Sun Simiao understood what An was thinking about here.

After all, this Miss Cui's family is not too young.She is the same age as Xiao Niubi, plus she has the surname Cui. No matter in terms of wealth or background, she is simply the dream wife of everyone in the world.

Daughter of the Cui family... is too precious.

And Xiaoniubi is a master disciple of Xuan Junguan.

If these two people can really succeed, they can be regarded as a good match.

Isn't that great.

When I get older, I am happy to see those young men and women who are in love with each other. This world is so hard, and men and women love such things, but there are not many people in the world who can envy the beauty of others as long as they are sincerely in love with each other.

Well, that's nice.

Good-looking, good background, knowledgeable and reasonable, she is worthy of being a lady from the Cui family.

You little bull-nosed character has an out-of-the-ordinary personality, and you don't usually have a straight face. You should have such a wife to take care of you.

Otherwise, if you really find a wife who will depend on you for everything, let you stretch out your clothes, stretch out your hands and open your mouth, and serve you every day, won't you go to the sky in the future, kid?
It's too gentle and considerate.

And this young lady of the Cui family is intellectual and gentle, but she also shows her inner beauty. She must have good skills in managing this chaotic city in an orderly manner.

There are insides and outsides, if the two of you can really make it, Xiao Niubi will be blessed in the future~
Holding a teacup, sitting in the courtyard where the insects were singing and the birds were singing, the Lord Yao fantasized about Li Zhen's happy life in the future, so he couldn't help grinning and let out two silly smiles:
"hey-hey."

……

"Master Shouchu, please take a look."

Standing in front of the official road, pointing to the group of people in the distance, Cui Wanrong said:

"These are all refugees who have arrived recently."

"So many? Are they here in the past few days?"

Looking at the dark head in the distance, Li Zhen frowned slightly.

"good."

Cui Wanrong nodded:

"Nowadays, the story of the earth-shattering earth-shaking sky should have spread to the surrounding counties. And these people, logically speaking, Yu Kuan shouldn't continue to receive them... After all, the salt mine has been destroyed now, let alone them. The old miners have lost their income, let alone these new arrivals. But... on the day when the earth was overturned, I have already sent several letters asking for help. In the next month or so, there will probably be five thousand to Eight thousand stones of grain came here. The purpose is to appease these refugees."

Hearing this, Li Zhen thought for a while, and vaguely understood what she meant:
"Treasurer Cui means... you want to take them for your own use?"

"Exactly."

Cui Wanrong nodded, looking at the refugees' eyes full of strategizing to control the overall situation:
"To tell the truth from the Taoist priest, it may be a month at the latest, and a large number of stones and wood for the construction of the dojo will be received at the Quail Ferry. At most, in about ten days, from the center of the Longhuo Pond to the outside, it will be It's starting to ram."

"So fast?"

Li Zhen's eyes inevitably showed surprise:
"Could it be... the people from the Taoist sect have arrived?"

"not yet."

Cui Wanrong's answer made him even more confused:
"Then shopkeeper Cui is...going to start work early?"

"Well. Daoist Sun said before that this pool of dragon fire, at least a few miles around, will be leveled, and the formation eye and Taoist palace that locks the dragon fire will be built. If this is the case, let's start work ahead of time. , first tamp all the roads, no matter what you do at that time, at least you don’t need to spend so much time. And the farmers in Yujiao have made an agreement with them in the past few days. All of them will be included in this civil work. After the establishment of the Daoist Palace is completed, we will see where there is vacant land, and then distribute the land to them. For the first five years, no tax will be collected."

"..."

Now Li Zhen was really surprised.

On the one hand, he could feel Cui Wanrong...or the sympathy and love of the Cui family brothers and sisters for the people of this city.

On the other hand... If it is really according to what Lao Suntou said, this may be the place where Laojunguan formed the formation outside Yucheng City.

What the Cui family is doing now belongs to earthwork infrastructure.

Anyone who works in engineering knows what the Cui family is doing now.

advances...

They even advanced funds without the consent of Party A.

Another money, another material, and another food...

Although it is a bit of a big deal, it prevents the taste of outsiders meddling... But what is the purpose of doing this?
He was a little puzzled.

No matter how high the profit of this project is, it doesn't have to be like this, right?

And perhaps seeing Li Zhen's doubts, Cui Wanrong rode on the horse, and while signaling Li Zhen to go forward with her, said:
"The Daoist thinks it's too early to talk about this?"

"……um, yes."

Hearing his answer, the woman's face revealed a... How should I put it.

If you say you are showing off, you can understand it that way.

But it's not just a show off, but a kind of... a side rendering of how good you are to express yourself with something.

This expression is very strange, confident, humble, full of emotions, and finally turned into that shallow dimple:

"Does the Taoist know, what is the most important thing in this world?"

"..."

Li Zhen was taken aback.

Looking at her eyes that smelled like a school exam, Li Zhen couldn't help asking:
"Treasurer Cui is testing the poor?"

The Taoist raised his eyebrows high, as if he had been aroused to win.

Under her smiling gaze, Li Zhen, who was riding a horse, looked at those dark heads, and a possibility gradually emerged in his heart.

The moment he thought of this possibility, Li Zhen suddenly felt goose bumps on his skin.

A thought... a mixture of surprise, shock, admiration, and a trace of indescribable amazement quickly occupied his entire brain.

But immediately another worry appeared in his mind, and the words in his heart immediately blurted out:

"Treasurer Cui... Aren't you afraid that Shanxi Hedong Comforting Ambassador will treat you as the second Wu Duan'er?"

"!"

Cui Wanrong's eyes instantly burst into brilliance.

Looking at the Taoist with fluttering clothes like a fairy in front of him, the joy in his heart became more and more overflowing.
