In the early morning of the next day, everyone packed up and settled the accounts and left the inn. Xiao Sui'er generously gave dozens of other shop assistants who were called around by her; A 180-degree turn, originally called her little tigress and female Yasha behind her back, but now it suddenly became praise words such as straightforward, generous, and generous.

When going out, Su Jin intentionally looked into the barn in the yard to see that the two horses were no longer there, apparently they had paid their bills and left early in the morning.

The three mule carts drove slowly towards the west gate of Yingtianfu, because they were so close together, they arrived at the gate in less than half an hour, except for the female relatives who had to get out of the cart and walk when they entered the gate. Seeing the hustle and bustle of people from all directions, people from all villages and villages flocked to the city to participate in the morning market.

Su Jin sighed inwardly, looking at this posture, it is more than twice as prosperous as Luzhou City Hua Meimei is the birthplace of the person she loves, and the people of Shangqiu City have put in a lot of effort to catch up with Su Jin.

This Shangqiu city has been called the place names of the three merchants since ancient times. There is a Shang, one said that it was the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and the other said that it was the birthplace of the Chinese merchants. Commercial merchants and commodities. The origin of the three merchants was in Shangqiu; Su Jin believed it later. According to his speculation, Shangqiu is located at the place where the north-south thoroughfare and the east-west intersection, lakes and rivers extend in all directions, and it takes little effort to transport goods from the north to the south, so it is not surprising that it has become a place with developed commerce.

After entering the city, the streets are wide and crowded, and there are many shops on both sides of the road. come.

The crowd was dazzled by Xiao Sui'er and the others, who originally thought that Yingtian Mansion was not as prosperous as Luzhou City, but when they saw it, they were stunned; In order to accompany the capital, even the name "Yingtian" bestowed by the emperor himself, can it not be prosperous?

Although the street market is very prosperous, it is obvious that there is no time to go shopping. First of all, it is not a problem to find a place to settle down and wander around in the street. So Su Jin Bendang Street asked about the location of Yingtian Academy and wanted to find a place closer to the academy. Rent a house to accommodate everyone.

A passerby hurriedly heard that Su Jin was going to Yingtian Academy and laughed and said: "I'm so laughing, why did you go to Yingtian Academy and come to the west city? Don't you know that the academy is in Nanhu outside the south gate?"

Su Jin thought: I don't know Yingtian Academy, is it so ridiculous?There are so many places that I don’t know. If you want to laugh, you will die of laughing. This little citizen of Yingtianfu is really fucking weird.

Reluctantly, I had no choice but to ask for directions all the way to Nancheng, and I met several waves of guards of honor from the government lords going out, which was delayed for a long time until the sun burned people dizzy, and then I came to Nancheng. I was also dumbfounded and regretted that I shouldn't have sent someone to arrange the accommodation in advance. It's really not easy to find a place to stay all at once.

The group was so hot that it was time to eat, so they had no choice but to go into a restaurant to order food and eat slowly to avoid the scorching sun at noon.

During the meal, the personal bodyguard Zhao Hu suddenly said stupidly: "I finally returned to my hometown."

Su Jin was surprised and said: "You are not from Yingtian Mansion, why is this your hometown?"

Zhao Hu tore at the mutton chops, chewed them a few times, and then swallowed them whole. His two big oily hands waved wildly, making Xiao Sui'er frown and hide.

"I'm from Dengfeng County, but my father is from Yingtian Mansion? My son, I'm telling you the truth, so don't talk nonsense." Zhao Hu said mysteriously.

Xiao Zhuzi had long watched him eat half a plate of grilled lamb chops by himself, and felt dissatisfied. He stretched out his hand and brought the lamb chops in front of him and said impatiently: "If you don't want to talk about it, who cares about your father's business."

Su Jin rolled his eyes and told Huanniang to ask the shopkeeper to add a plate of grilled lamb chops, and then said: "If it involves sexual intercourse, you don't need to talk about it. We are not people who spy on other people's sexual intercourse."

Zhao Hu said: "No fuck no fuck, as long as everyone doesn't say it, I won't fuck."

Su Jin took him to have no choice but to tell people not to talk about it, and said it was not ** Seeing Zhao Hu staring at him helplessly, as if he was not unhappy, he had nothing to do, listen to what he said to relieve his boredom, so he said: "Then you Let’s talk about it and let’s not talk about it.”

Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Xiao Zhuzi and others nodded repeatedly and agreed to them, wishing that he had no time to talk and eat lamb chops, this stuff tastes too good, his thick mouth grabs the root of the lamb chops, just pulling a piece of grilled defecation leaves only a piece of meat It's a stick, he doesn't have time to eat, and everyone can just eat more.

Zhao Hu said in a low voice mysteriously: "Back then, everyone in Yingtian Mansion, my father, knew that no one in the four cities dared to provoke our father."

Zhang Long reminded: "It's your father, not ours."

Zhao Hu was surprised and said, "Isn't he my father? When did he become your father?"

Everyone was stunned. Seeing that this entanglement was not going to end, Su Jin frowned and said, "If you don't tell me, we'll hurry up and eat and find a house to rent right now. If we can't find it before the sun goes down, we have to go to an inn again. I don't have time to be with you." This is bullshit."

Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "My lord, don't be upset. I mean my father was very prestigious back then, but he committed a crime in this famous mansion, so he fled to Dengfeng Mountain and hid, not daring to show his face. Later, he met my mother in Dengfeng County. Then there was me."

Su Jin said: "That's it? Does this also make us swear not to say anything?"

Zhao Hu said anxiously: "No...not what I meant...that...this..."

Xiao Sui'er scolded: "What about this and that, isn't it because your father committed a crime and fled to Dengfeng County? Then he settled down in Dengfeng County, so your ancestral home is in Yingtian Mansion? What's the matter?"

Zhao Hu said: "I'm stupid, I mean..."

Huanniang suddenly said softly: "Do you want to say that your father has relatives here, maybe we can use your relatives to help find a yard and rent it?"

Zhao Hu nodded in relief and said: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. We are not familiar with this place, so it is not easy to find a house. I have an aunt who is in Yingtian Mansion. We can find her."

Su Jin said in his heart, this is a good idea. There are acquaintances here, not to mention renting a residence, and there is also a place to ask questions after the day. Then he patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for you to think about this. It's not advisable to go to visit your aunt after dinner."

Zhao Hu was praised, hehe Hanxiao stretched out his big hand and grabbed the only lamb chop left in his hand and started to chew.

Xiao Sui'er asked worriedly: "Where does your aunt live? Have you ever been here? Do you know the way?"

Zhao Hu said without raising his head, "I came to know me when my grandfather passed away when I was ten years old, so I went to the funeral with my mother."

When everyone heard it, they felt cold. The year of ten years old has passed, and I'm afraid there are so few people and nowhere to look for it.

Xiao Sui'er rolled her eyes and wished she could seal Zhao Hu's thick lips to Su Jin, and she was also depressed: Apart from his martial arts and solid flesh, this guy is just a brain of granite, but things have come to an end and we can only try our luck... ...!

……

God finally didn't make fun of people, Zhao Hu twisted and scratched his head and took the wrong road several times, and finally found Aunt Zhao's home at a city entrance not far from the gate of Nancheng.

Aunt Zhao and her husband run a dim sum shop. Business is slow at noon. The couple are leaning against the shop, shaking cattail fans, and resting. Three carts suddenly stop at the door. Seven or eight men and women walk in aggressively. The leading big man yelled as he walked: "That's what I remember them looking like and they can't run away."

The couple almost died of fright. Was this robbery or came to collect the dish fee?Didn't Zhu Manzi, the local ruffian leader in Nancheng come here to collect the plate fee yesterday?It cost a lot of money to feed the dog like this. The husband and wife were so distressed that they didn't sleep all night last night, why did they come again today.

But seeing that burly man with his arms outstretched, he went towards his wife, the shopkeeper Lao Jiang mustered up his courage to come forward and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Do you still have the law in broad daylight?"

Aunt Zhao also went all out, picked up the tongs, and threw herself into her mouth, shouting, "I'm going to fight with you guys."

Zhao Hu stopped in surprise and said: "Auntie and uncle, what are you going to fight with me? If you don't like seeing me, just tell me, why should the whole family fight to the death?"

Both Lao Jiang and Aunt Zhao were dumbfounded, and they carefully looked at the strong man in front of them. They haven't seen each other for a year or did they stay together for a few days ten years ago. How to recognize the difference.

"Who is this little official?" Aunt Zhao asked hesitantly.

"Auntie, you don't even remember me, I'm Zhao Hu." Zhao Hu stomped his feet.

"Zhao Hu?" Aunt Zhao became even more confused.

Seeing this situation, Su Jin hurried forward and saluted first: "The person in front of you, brothers and sisters-in-law, is Zhao Dalang, and now his name is Zhao Hu."

Then Aunt Zhao came to her senses, and upon closer inspection, there was indeed a trace of her childhood shadow in the outline. Then she yelled loudly before hugging Zhao Hu and said, "Da Lang, so it's Da Lang. I'm so tall that I can't even recognize it."

Only then did Lao Jiang let go of his worries and smiled happily. Zhao Hu hurriedly introduced Su Jin and others to them. When he heard that Zhao Hu was working with Su Jin's subordinates and was paid twice a month, the couple opened their mouths wide open. This is a rich family! It takes a month of hard work to earn six or seven pennies, and there is not much money left to get rid of the hooligans and ruffians.

My nephew eats the boss's food, drinks the boss's errands and attendants, and earns twice a month. This is luck.Aunt Zhao was sincerely happy for her nephew and hurriedly thanked Su Jinwanfu: "My master is a good man, but this nephew of my slave's family is honest, if there is any son who is not good at serving, I will take care of you."

Su Jin smiled and said: "It goes without saying that if you enter my Su family, the whole family will not have any embarrassment for him."

Lao Jiang and his wife thanked them again and again.Immediately let them into the store, wipe the oily tables and chairs, and greet everyone to sit down, and quickly make tea.

Seeing Su Jin sitting on a dirty stool without paying attention and drinking from a yellow teacup, Xiao Suier couldn't take it anymore, quickly grabbed Su Jin's teacup and ran out of the shop to fiddle around in the carriage, sweating profusely He took a bamboo mat and a box of teacups and came over, forced a mat under Su Jin's buttocks, and picked up his own celadon teacup to help Su Jin make another cup of tea.

Everyone looked at all this with dumbstruck eyes. The few people on Su Jin's side were okay. The old Jiang and his wife almost dislocated their jaws. The big family has so many rules, and they don't know how their nephew survived in Su's house; I don't envy Zhao Hu's job, but I feel sorry for him.
