The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 709 690 eight: Three people each pick up the goods

When Duan Wuji returned home, he saw his parents were sitting on the kang watching the two children play!

Duan Wuji looked at his parents and asked: "Has my brother sent money to the city yet?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "What time is it now, your brother still goes to that city to deliver money!

Your brother sent the money back long ago. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Oh! You're back early! Why are you so fast! Dad, prepare 3000 taels of silver for me!

To-morrow morning I shall take it into town, and the next morning we shall set off. "

Liucaihua laughed and said, "You guys are talking too fast!

Um!Boy, just wait, mother will prepare delicious food for you now, before you leave, let's have another meal cooked by mother! "

After speaking, Liu Caihua went to cook, and Duan Wuji walked into the west wing and said to Wang Jinhua, "Jinhua, I'm going to do business tomorrow, and you can find my clothes and wrap them up for me later."

Wang Jinhua nodded.

"Master, you should be careful when you go out!

It doesn't matter if you make money or not, you have to save your life no matter what!

Both of us are counting on you! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Don't worry! Nothing will happen to us, I just became a prince now, and I haven't even received that month's salary, how could I die!

Do not worry!If it really doesn't work, even if we throw away all of our more than 1 taels of silver, I will come back alive!
There are losses and profits in this business, we can still afford to lose once or twice, I won't lose my life, so don't worry about it!
I will not let our son lose his father at such a young age. "

"Well! I'm relieved when you think so. Every time you go to do business, I'm always on tenterhooks!

well!When will we be able to live a peaceful life!
Ordinarily, our family is not short of any money, so what does it matter if we spend more or less!Why do this dangerous business! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Isn't it quick to make money doing this! Doing other things for ten years may not necessarily make as much money as we did this time!

Otherwise, who would want to do this!

To be honest, doing our job is more profitable than being a bandit!

Well, I won't tell you these things, I'll practice on the kang for a while! "

After speaking, Duan Wuji sat cross-legged on the kang and went to practice.

Seeing Duan Wuji like this, Wang Jinhua retreated out of the room knowingly.

It wasn't until the setting sun was setting that Duan Wuji came out of the house.

Duan Wuji walked into the main room, only to see a table of sumptuous meals already set up.

When Liu Caihua saw Duan Wuji come in, she said with a smile: "Oh! You bastard! You came on time!

Come in when the meal is served, if you don't come in, I plan to call you! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother! How can I bother you to call me!
Didn't I come here by myself! "

Liu Caihua looked at Duan Shengsong and said, "Song Er, go, call your father over for dinner!"

The child listened to his grandma's order, turned around and ran out. It wasn't too long, so he dragged Duan Changsheng over from the west yard.

Today's meals are really hearty, there are dozens of meat and vegetable dishes, and almost all dishes imaginable are cooked.

The whole family had dinner around the table, and Duan Wuji stood up after he was full.

"Father, have you prepared all the 3000 taels of silver you brought for business?"

"I prepared it for you a long time ago, how could I forget this matter!"

"Well! That's good! Father, mother, you can just rest!
I went back to rest. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji came out from the main room and walked back to his east wing.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji got up early. Duan Wuji was wearing his snake skill armor inside and a suit of clothes outside. After everything was packed, Duan Wuji went straight to the main room.

When I entered the main room, I saw that my money bag and clothes bag were all on the kang!
The food on the table has been set long ago, and Liu Caihua and Wang Jinhua are both sitting on the edge of the kang!
Duan Wuji knew that the two of them woke up early and made it for themselves.

When Liu Caihua saw her youngest son coming in, she quickly said to Duan Wuji: "You son of a bitch! Sit down and eat quickly, the meals on the table are made by the two of us just for you!

Just let go and eat!Let's go when we are full! "

Duan Wuji was not too polite, after Duan Wuji sat down, he immediately ate like a storm.

After eating everything on the table, Duan Wuji stood up.

"Mom, I've finished eating, and there's nothing else to do now, my son, I should go too."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji carried the two burdens on the kang behind his back, and then stepped out.

The servants at home have already brought Duan Wuji's white horse over.

When Duan Wuji checked, he saw that the big stick, bow and arrow were all there!
Duan Wuji took off the sword and put it on his back, then led the horse and walked straight out of the gate!
Duan Yanqing led his family and sent them out.

Duan Wuji got on his horse, glanced at his family and said, "You all go back, it's quite cold outside, go back and get warm!"

Duan Yanqing looked at his youngest son and said: "Wuji! Daddy told you, no matter what, you have to come back alive for me!

This time the transaction is completely lost, and our family can't hurt its muscles or move its bones!

Don't play with your life! "

"Well! I see, Daddy, don't worry!

I know the scale. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji rode straight to the fork in the Duanjiaji intersection, and the family didn't turn around until the shadow of Duan Wuji ran away.

Duan Wuji rode his horse to the fork in Duanjiaji, only to see that Tie Niu and his son were waiting for him by the roadside!

Tie Niu was riding a horse, and his father was sitting on the shaft of the cart.

Duan Wuji looked at Tie Niu and asked: "Brother Tie Niu, are you wearing your snakeskin armor?"

"Do you still need to ask this! I'm not stupid, how could I lose that thing!"

"Well! It's fine to wear it! Then let's go! Don't make Brother Chai wait so anxiously."

With Duan Wuji in front and Tie Niu in the back, the two people protected the money cart and walked straight to Taiyuan City.

When they arrived at the gate of Chai Mansion, the two of them had just climbed up the steps when Chai Shao greeted him from the gate.

"You two virtuous brothers, you came early enough!

I won't say much about other nonsense, let's pick up the goods now!
Isn't this the goods from three places!Why don't the three of us go to one place alone, let's stare at one place alone, so that we can load faster!

Chaihuo, hurry up and call those carriages, and tell them that we will pick up the goods immediately, and tell them to rush there immediately.

I have already told them where each car goes!

Brother Tie Niu, you can drive the silver cart to pick up the porcelain!
Don't you have shares in the porcelain field?It is also very convenient for you to go to that place!

Brother Wuji, keep your eyes on the tea leaves!
I'm going to pick up those cloths, let's just pack the goods and forget about it! "

Tieniu heard this and said to his father: "Father! Let's go! Let's go to the entrance of the porcelain kiln!"

When Tieniu's father heard this, he shook his whip and followed Tieniu away.

Duan Wuji also galloped straight to the tea shop.

When he arrived at the door of the tea shop, Duan Wuji tied the horse to the tree at the door, and walked straight to the tea shop.

Seeing Duan Wuji coming in, the boss Niu stood up quickly.

"Brother, come here to pick up the goods!
Come, come, sit down! "

Duan Wuji looked at Boss Niu and said: "Brother Niu, those carriages will be here in a while, you should get ready too!

You will be responsible for loading the car for me in a while!I won't do anything wrong! "

"Don't worry! I'll leave all these things to me, and I tell you, it won't make any difference!

We have been working for such a long time to deliver, can we do it if there is something wrong!

Brother, you don't have to stare at this matter, I can handle all these things by myself!

You just drink tea in the house.

You don't have to worry about things outside!

There are snacks and fruits in my shop, let me bring you two plates! "

Ho!The boss of this tea shop is so tight-lipped to that Duan Wuji!

Duan Wuji was sitting by the table drinking tea, Boss Niu smiled and said: "You come here to drink tea, I'll go out and ask the guys to go!

The car will arrive in a while, so we can load it. "

"Well! Then you go, the car will be here in a while."

Boss Niu went out and brought in seven or eight guys in a short time.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "The carriage will come later, you can use the owner of the carriage and the people following the carriage as you like, if they are not obedient, then it is not acceptable."

Boss Niu nodded.

"Well, if that's the case, then the loading will be much faster."

At this moment, there was the sound of rumbling cars outside the door.

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The convoy has already arrived, you can take people out to have a look!
How to load it is up to you!

Brother Niu, you must install the car for me! "

"Brother, don't worry! All these things are left to my brother.

All my tea leaves are stored in the storeroom. It is impossible for so many tea leaves to be stored in my small shop! "

Boss Niu waved at the guys.

"Come on, let's go out and have a look!

Once these cars are installed, we'll be fine. "

Several guys followed Boss Niu out.

Then, there was a loud voice in front of the door.

While drinking tea, Duan Wuji was thinking about his own thoughts, no one knew what Duan Wuji was thinking about!

An hour later, the boss Niu came in from the outside with a smile.

"Brother Wuji, the car has been installed, come out and have a look, if there is no problem, then let them go."

Duan Wuji stood up and stepped out, Duan Wuji checked one car after another.

It was not until he found that all the vehicles were in good condition that Duan Wuji shouted loudly to the owners of these vehicles: "Drive all these vehicles back! After you go back, you should have a good rest for the night, and tomorrow morning we will On the road."

After hearing this, the carriage owners shook their whips and drove their carriages back.

Duan Wuban saw that nothing was going on, so he got off his horse and was about to leave.

Boss Niu came out of the house.

"Brother, why do you have to leave just after finishing this matter! Why are you in a hurry to go back!

Let your sister-in-law get some dishes for our brothers in a while, let us have a good meal with him!

How long has it been since we ate together!

Brother, don't look at me as poor, brother, I can afford you this meal! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Niu, you are a celebrity in our Taiyuan Mansion!

Who dares to say that you are poor!Can the poor get into the tea of ​​more than 2 taels of silver all at once!

However, Brother Niu, I am very busy today. If you want to eat, you can invite me when I come back from business!
At that time, you can't do it if you don't invite me!Don't invite me today!
Brother Niu, just do your business well, brother, I wish you a fortune! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji untied the stiff rope and got on his horse, cupped his hands towards Boss Niu, and then ran towards Chai Mansion in the north of Taiyuan Mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the Chai Mansion, Duan Wuji got off his horse and shouted loudly at the guard: "Hey! I said the gatekeeper, my brother Chai is back!"

The gatekeeper saw that it was Duan Wuji, and quickly said with a smile: "Our eldest son has long been back, Mr. Duan, hurry up and invite him inside!"

Duan Wuji handed over the horse to the gatekeeper, and walked straight to the gate.

Duan Wuji went straight to Chai Shao's study, and when he entered the study, he saw that Chai Shao was sitting at the table drinking tea!
When Chai Shao saw that Duan Wuji came in, he laughed and said, "Brother, why did you come back! Come, come!

Sit down now! "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother Chai, why are you faster than me, I paid the money yesterday!"

Chai Shao laughed and said: "You just paid the silver yesterday, do you know when I paid the silver!
I have already paid the money for more than 20 days. You think you are the fastest, but think about it, brother, I paid the money earlier than you.

Today I will take the car and load it!My cloth is more durable, and it’s quicker to load into a cart, but your tea is relatively stingy, and it’s more troublesome to load into a cart!

Brother, I don't blame you if I don't leave you behind! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, you paid the money so early, didn't the owner of the cloth shop give you any discount?"

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Brother, you really know how to guess! You said that if the owner of the cloth shop takes my money as capital, how can he not give me some discounts!

Didn’t the cloth pack 500 taels of silver into one cart? He gave me three extra carts of cloth in total. This is called mutual cooperation and everyone benefits!

We get benefits, and he doesn't need to spend money, as long as both of us benefit!

brother!What do you say! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, you are not only a senior official of the country, but also a shrewd businessman!"

Chai Shao grinned when he heard this.

"How can we not be smart! Our business is getting more and more profitable, so we can make money if we don't plan carefully!"

The two of them were talking while drinking water!About an hour later, the iron bull pushed the door and came in!

"Yo ho! Brother Chai, Brother Wuji, you have already returned!

I'm far away this way, so I came back a little late. "

When Chai Shao saw that the iron ox had also returned, he quickly ordered the servants beside him, "Now that we are all back, hurry up and serve us dinner!

We had a good rest after lunch, and we should be on our way tomorrow morning! "
