The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 158. Chapter 157.

At the banquet for the eldest son, the sisters of the Ning family did not appear again, and neither did Mingyue.

Ah Chou only cares about cooking, Shang San'er hummed: "I didn't block the trade roads in Yaopeng City, if I want me to plead for mercy, the errand fee must not be less!"

He was full of nonsense and refused to instigate the mountain god to block the road. Lu Dongshan also catered to him by the way: "Who doesn't know about the friendship between Luliu and the two mountain gods? Dilongshan can't speak, Ning Jiawei can only look at you, and the benefits will not be dared." few!"

"Bring the sisters of the Ning family back, I will ask for two benefits!"

Shang San'er wrenched his fingers: "The first is the same, the secret technique of making preserved fruit in Yaopeng City; the second one, I didn't know anything about it the year before last, and after disguising, I fished shrimp for eight days in Jiashan City. Then ask the Ning family to clear the accounts for me!"

Lu Dongshan was speechless after hearing this rascal's bidding all over the sky.

The name of the Yaopeng City is that when a certain heavenly emperor made a token, many monsters went down the Nine Nether Passage, vying to eat the rare Wuxinsu. There was a Yaopeng outside, guarding the entrance of the passage to hunt. It's named.

Nowadays, besides black heart millet, the former city lord of the Ning family also has another famous specialty, which is preserved fruit made from peaches, apricots, dates, wax gourds, etc. When ordinary people make it, they only marinate it with sugar and honey, while his family makes it. Strange ingredients are added, which has a unique flavor, and can also add a little aura, which is exclusively for immortals.

In the past, the reputation of Yaopeng preserved fruit was not obvious, and the Ning family became more greedy, and the price was too high. The caravan took it to another city, and the profit was not much, so it was not very easy to sell.But last year, taking advantage of the prosperity, I bought Qionghua dew from Luliu, saying that it was the same price as here, five and a half catties a leaf. Only the immortal merchants wanted to buy wine, and they had to add preserved fruits of the same price to make a living together.

The caravan was greedy for the profits of Qionghualu, and they wanted to buy wine, which made the preserved fruit sell well. The Ning family did not make less money. The City God of Green Willow had already found out about this.

It is only more than 500 miles away from Yaopeng. If Shang San'er obtains the secret method of Ning family's candied fruit, there will be hidden dangers of evil in the future. How many?

That Wu Xinsu, in the annual tribute paid by the Ning family, some were sold in Longlin City, and after they were no longer afraid of the evil spirits, those who had to run away from the Yaopeng would lose a lot.

And that's just the first thing!

The second one, the shrimp that Shang San'er secretly caught in Jiashan was worth nearly three thousand leaves in terms of merit alone!Taking advantage of Luliu's calamity the year before last, Yaopeng City was prosperous for a while, but it only earned Qianduo Ye in the sky, and if he asked his family to settle the accounts, he might not be able to pay for it!Besides, in that karma, the Lu family wanted to use the surname of Shang, so how could they really settle the accounts for the Ning family?
After a long silence, Lu Dongshan sighed: "You big-bellied man is not afraid to hold back, you don't even dare to bargain! Let's just drink today, and cry in front of my junior sister tomorrow!"

Raise the wine glass: "Lady, my junior respects you!"

Mrs. Shang raised her glass in response: "Thank you, Young Master!"

Accompanied him to finish the drink, then turned to stare at his son: "If you're talking about benefits, don't just call Mingyue hard!"

"Mother, the fairy family buys and sells, and the price is the same!"

The sister Huafei left, making Shang San'er unhappy, and the matter she mentioned was a bit cruel.

But it was impossible for Lu Dongshan to agree, and the old lady just sneered, daring to disregard Mingyue's face, maybe after the guest left, she would take him to eat the thorn.

There is no other way, Shang San'er had no choice but to find the steps down by himself: "There is no love to talk about the secret technique of preserved fruit; the cause and effect of Jiashan, the eldest son will show you the way."

There are so many businesses in Luliu City, if it is not so strong, the county guard's mansion, the annual tribute should have been raised again, and now there is no longer any hope, asking for the Ning family's preserved fruit recipe will not hurt the Lu family. Lu Dongshan nodded and said: "I can't take charge of Jiashan's matter, but please rest assured that I will never ask you to ask for it until it is urgent. The Ning family has already paid for the preserved fruit, and the second one will accept Qianye. When the family is prosperous, the income is about the same, and it should be enough!"

As the most powerful vassal in Dongshan County, there are not many causes and effects that can be determined, and the Lu family will never let go easily.

The eldest son's words can already be regarded as the conclusion of the Lu family. If there is no other way, the Ning family can only follow through with tears!

The business road is blocked, and the immortals are just talking about it. In that city, the prices of all the things they need to buy from outside have risen, and there are complaints in the city. The celestial beings who practiced in Pengcheng were troubled by the great grievances, which hindered their practice. If they dragged on for a few more years, they would definitely say goodbye and leave.

Don't mess with hob meat easily!
After a closer look, Ning Yu, the owner of Yaopeng City, shouldn't have shown off in front of Shang San'er after suffering disasters in Green Willow City and benefiting his own family, and then secretly used tricks to insert cards on the main road of Green Willow City to lure the caravan. With the power of the two mountain gods, he reorganized his house.

If it can't be turned around, the commercial road will be blocked for 20 years, and Shang San'er won't blink any more.

In the final outcome, it is not counted to send two daughters out, and the profit is exhausted, and the ancestral preserved fruit prescription is also lost, what is the trouble?
Compared with the huge deficit on the whirlwind, it is too little to only get a thousand leaves, but not every city has Daluo and Jinxian who have passed down their lives to make a living, and there are not many wealthy people. A strange object with eight hundred leaves is still ashamed!

No more oil and water could be squeezed out, so Shang San'er could only nod his head.

Abandoning the Qingniu concept of cause and effect, it was only then that the affairs of Yaopeng City were sorted out. Lu Dongshan let out a long sigh, seeing that Shang San'er was dissatisfied, and he was still unhappy. Come to Longlin to eat at my wedding banquet, don't hesitate to follow the wedding gift, I will come next month empty-handed!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Mrs. Shang: "Madam, when the time comes, please also move your car and sit in Longlin City, and let the younger generation bring your daughter-in-law to toast!"

Shang San'er was surprised: "Are you getting married in March?"

It was scheduled to be in March, and the marriage with Shang Laosan was only more than a month away. Only then did Lu Dongshan say that the wedding ceremony should not be followed, and the next month would come empty-handed.

Shishan Academy and Dongshan County are connected to the land, and then marry, it should be sooner rather than later, and there will be no delay, but the owner of the big family city is indeed too fast. When the Yuanxiao was scheduled to be conquered at the beginning of the year, Lu Dongshan didn't even know who the bride was. .

The wedding reception is different from Mrs. Lu's invitation. According to her daughter-in-law Mingyue, she must be counted as relatives, only more than 400 miles away, Mrs. Shang pondered for a while, and finally agreed: "I will take Mingyue there at that time, and I will also be happy! "

"Oh, I remember last time, the old lady said that there had never been a green willow. I would like to thank you for your kindness, and I respect you again!"

Putting down the wine glass, he turned to Ah Chou again: "Senior Ugly..."

Ah Chou raised his head: "I'm going, it's not good to scare your guests!"

Both merchants and wives laughed, and Lu Dongshan didn't force it, pretending to be surprised: "Oh, seniors can also joke?"

In fact, what A Chou said was the truth, not a joke.

Shang San'er asked: "The Sheriff's Mansion has moved to Longya, why don't you go there for your marriage, and you are still in Longlin?"

"To tell you the truth, my family only asks me to stay at Longlin, come to your house to settle matters, and sniff the cinnamon on the way. This is an exception, and you are not allowed to go out normally!"

Longlin City is the old base of the Lu family. His family's plan is to let Lu Dongshan guard the south to share some risks. In the future, after the old cities of Longyang County in the north are settled, the county guard's mansion can also be moved back.

"Where is Second Miss, when will you marry Nanjin?"

"The news came from the ancestor of the Ji family that after the war with Manchu was stopped, he and the emperor returned to the capital, and then set a date for the marriage of the fourth prince and sent someone to marry him."

With great power, I saw the clue from Ji Zheng's entourage. After returning to the city, Shang San'er also ordered the City God to send his ears to the gods to go to Longya to inquire about the news, but the fourth prince has been honestly pretending to be a filial son-in-law in front of Madam Lu. , did not see any movement.

In the south of the Daze, the battle between the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Manchus did not show any signs of ending in a short time.

The Lu family was married to the Southern Jin family and did not dare to ask the emperor Ji De, but at least Ji Zheng had made an oath to the sky, so that he could feel at ease. The date of the marriage letter comes first, if Ji Zhengruo is not an abandoned son, if Nan Jin wants to plan troubles, he has to hurry before that.

Shang San'er is now hoping that the Ji family will be more aggressive, and that they will be completely wiped out before the Lu family can react. The cause and effect of stealing fishing in Jiashan City may never be paid back.

In person, Lu Dongshan wouldn't know the truth. Everyone around him knew that he had mischievous intentions towards Lu Zhaojun, and he wouldn't think too much about it even if he intervened.

Lu Dongshan was afraid that Shang San'er would never forget his sister, so he said: "Among the women of the Lu clan, there is another high-ranking immortal who can lead Taoist soldiers, but his appearance is a little unsatisfactory. If you don't mind, I can ask my father to send her to you." Make it a concubine for your house."

When Mrs. Lu came with Lu Ling, Poppier looked down on her, she only cared about the second young lady who was born in the first place.The merchant has asked the Qizhen Pavilion to make a whirlwind twister to train female Taoist soldiers, but in Luliu City, Chen Meier and Xiang Mingyue, who were in charge of the Kun Taoist Mansion, have practiced well at home, but they are not good enough to lead soldiers. Some people speculated that apart from the embarrassment in the stone field that humiliated Zhaojun, there should be high-ranking immortals.

Shang San'er rolled his eyes at him: "You look unsatisfactory, what did you say?"

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Mrs. Shang's mouth twitched, her face turned a little ugly, she just held back and didn't say much.

Knowing the old woman's temperament, Shang San'er was frightened, and hurriedly picked up a chicken wing to test: "Mother, eat!"

Mrs. Shang still didn't want to accept it.

Lu Dongshan didn't know why the old lady was unhappy, but the person with a very winking look hurriedly changed the subject again: "When will the Qionghua dew that I promised my family be delivered?"

There are now eleven brewing ponds in the wine shop and Yaxing. If you don’t go out right now, you can brew ten thousand catties of wine with a little work, but you ask: “I owe money to those who are short-lived. Give your family credit, when will it be settled?"

"You don't want to press the bill, I'll help you get another deal!"

When Shang San'er was puzzled, he said: "It's Shishan Academy. His family owns the Xianwang Mansion, and there is almost no loss and consumption. Now he wants to buy wine, and he will not be in debt!"

"How much does his family want?"

"It's only intentional right now, it's not yet decided, but if it's used by a big family, it will cost tens of thousands of catties, but the price must be the same as my house, six catties of wine per leaf, so I can open my mouth."

Compared with the retail price of the Green Willow City Winery, a piece of merit leaf is only half a catty of wine, which doesn't sound like much, but it is more than 100 leaves for ten thousand catties, which is worth Lu Dongshan's words.

It is said that Shishan Academy is only intentional and has not yet been decided. Shang San'er doesn't believe it, it's just asking for personal favors.

Compared with the capital, Qionghualu's profit is twice as high, except for Mei'er and others' love, other things in the city are not so profitable, Shang San'er is naturally happy: "Then toast you a glass of wine!"

"Oh, it's really not easy for you to toast now. I thought I had to wait until the wedding day to drink!"

"That's disrespectful, let's drink it after the big wedding!"

"The wine glasses are all served, Erpilian, are you so kind?"

"Pick it up and put it down again, how much effort does it take?"

After the banquet was over, I sent Lu Dongshan out of the mansion first, Shang San'er didn't dare to go out, and ran back to Taoqi Courtyard: "Old lady, did I say something was wrong at the banquet?"

Mrs. Shang said angrily: "What about the decent city lord, what's wrong?"

"My mother has been raising her for more than 20 years, and it's not like she doesn't know that her son has a lack of control. He just talks nonsense everywhere, without thinking about what he says. If you don't teach him, how will you know what's wrong? Maybe he will do it again in the future!"

Little Wei He had already fallen asleep, and all the maids were not in front of him, only mother and son, and Madam Shang began to scold: "Because you are rich and noble, you can't look down on those who don't look like you? Your old lady didn't look like you when she was young. What do you hate?"

Mrs. Shang understands her son's virtues and temperament, and she knows that today it is not his fault. On the contrary, she never forgets her background from a small family, and she can't let it go when she becomes a rich man. It's a joke, a sentence that looks unsatisfactory, actually thinks of myself, and feels awkward.

The white-haired old woman still remembers her youthful appearance?Before I got rich, I heard this kind of words ten or a hundred times, but it was only normal, and I forgot it after I heard it. Now I can't listen to it anymore, because of the change of identity and the passage of time.

Shang San'er really felt wronged, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "It is said that a son does not think his mother is ugly, and a dog does not think his family is poor..."

The word "mother is ugly" made Mrs. Shang even more angry: "My mother is ugly! Besides, your dog really doesn't dislike our family?"

Shang San'er only knew what she was struggling with. She hadn't even thought about it before, but it was the first time that she met her. It was easy to coax: "That's a common saying, let me use it! My old lady, you used to be famous in the alley. Peugeot, I don’t remember anything when I was young, but after my father died, you saved enough silver, and when you went to pay back Lao Luo’s house, didn’t you still make his old wife feel bitter and fight?”

Whether the late Luo family had a fight because of her paying back the money or not, I can’t remember for a long time, but even if they knew that their son was lying, they immediately forgot their unhappiness, and couldn’t help laughing: "Get out! You are so brave, dare to make up for my old lady. , what's the matter?"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, it was Mei'er who came back after cleaning up, already making my old lady happy, Shang San'er didn't want to stay: "Then I'm going to gamble?"

"Get lost! Next time, if you dare to talk nonsense, please take care of Sin Jing!"

He trotted out, laughed and chatted with the maids, walked to a place where no one was around, and thought: "I am so big, but sometimes I have troubles. It can be seen that no one is perfect, and it has nothing to do with age! I also heard people say that the old man should Coaxing the baby, I thought it was just a joke, I didn't want it to happen!"

Sit in the lobby of the front yard for a while, and when Ah Chou arrives, we will leave the mansion together, first knock on Geng Patrol Street, and then return to Datong Casino.

Recently, there are too many immortals from outside, and there are also two ninth ranks who came to the second floor of the gambling house to gamble. Tonight, Lu Dongshan will be added.

Seeing them go up one by one, many people in the coin gambling circle downstairs are eagerly looking forward to it, and Ma Ji from the calligraphy and painting shop is among them, and they are especially envious.

He, the city lord of the dead city, has exhausted his family fortune in the Baishan faction, but he was born lustful and playful. He heard that the second floor is for gambling merit leaves. Without cultivation, without that qualification, you can only covet downstairs.
