Qin Gong

Chapter 244 Tell you in a low voice, I have more than five thousand stones!

Inside the mansion of Young Master Jia.

As the night deepened, in the main hall of the mansion, there was an endless stream of laughter, wine and meat.

Under dozens of candle lights, [-] or [-] men were talking happily while embracing the beauties beside them.

The youngest of these men is only in their teens, and the oldest is in their 30s, but without exception, they all show their true nature here.

The world is said to be a saint, but the saint who truly has no desires and desires, how many people can there be in the world.

Talented scholars all yearn for fame, fortune, and status, and other ordinary scholars are even more ambitious. People live their lives, and who doesn't like beauties and money.

In the main hall.

Young Master Jia hugged his concubine, and after drinking for three rounds, he was a little tipsy at the age of 30.

These men in the main hall were all his guests at the banquet. Among them were the sons of the gentry who offered food today, as well as the children of the gentry and officials in Handan City, and some were famous scholars from Han and Wei.

For the gentry who donated food, for the old, Young Master Jia respected them, and for those young people brought by the old, Young Master Jia would not neglect.

After all, one day, these young gentry children will take over the clan behind them.

"Well, Wu Cheng is back!"

Young Master Jia suddenly saw Wu Cheng come back and laughed quickly.

"Sit down, just come back!"

Young Master Jia hiccupped, and was about to turn around and tell the maid to set up another banquet quickly.

However, I heard Wu Cheng speak.

"My lord, Wu Cheng has something to say!"

Young Master Jia heard Wu Cheng's words, and only then did he notice Wu Cheng's solemn expression.

Some doubts, didn't Wu Cheng go to see the child surnamed Xu?Why did he look like this when he came back, but Young Master Jia still waved his hand, signaling Wu Cheng to come forward and speak.

"Wu Cheng, come, come, drink!"

Liang Jin was already drunk, and staggered to Wu Cheng with a glass of wine.

However, at this time, Wu Cheng was still in the mood for Liang Jin. After cupping his hands at Liang Jin, he bypassed Liang Jin and walked towards Young Master Jia.

The guards on both sides of the main hall did not stop Wu Cheng because they saw Young Master Jia's behavior just now.

Liang Jin's face was flushed, and he stood on the spot holding a glass of wine, and turned his head to look at Wu Cheng who was leaving dimly. Before Liang Jin could turn his head around, he saw the woman he was hugging just now stepped forward to help him.

A smile immediately appeared on Liang Jin's face, and he completely forgot about Wu Cheng.

In the main hall.

Wu Cheng came in front of Young Master Jia, and after a maid gave way, Wu Cheng knelt down and whispered in Young Master Jia's ear what happened in the Red Attic.

Listening and listening, Young Master Jia's eyes widened visibly to the naked eye, and the drunkenness disappeared.

Five thousand stones!
Today, he gathered so many famous families in Han and Wei, and he only gathered more than [-] shi. Xu Zixiao alone has [-] shi.

After Wu Cheng finished his report, he looked at Young Master Jia.

Wu Cheng never thought that Xu Zixiao had so much food and grass, but the more food and grass Xu Zixiao had, the better it was for him.

Because no one else suggested contacting Xu Zixiao at the beginning, so he went alone, and it was also his letter, asking Princess Zhao Qiu to go with her.

If not.

Then Xu Zixiao will definitely not say that he has food in his hand.

"Master. Princess Zhao Qiu ordered Wu Cheng to come over, and Master Yan will pay the 250 gold."

Wu Cheng said.

For this amount of money, even Wu Chengcheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, then Xu Zixiao really got rich this time, the grain and grass of five thousand shi on weekdays was only eighteen gold, but now it was sent to Zhao Guo, but he got 250 gold.

This time, the extra 230 gold that was given out of thin air was completely obtained for nothing, like picking it up.

"Take me to meet him!"

When Young Master Jia heard Wu Cheng's words, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to get up to find Xu Zixiao.

250 gold, the price is too high, he can't afford it at all.

Even if he can come up with this sum of gold, he still needs to entertain, spend, and even buy food in the future, how can he afford it.

"promise!"

Wu Cheng nodded quickly when he heard what Young Master Jia said.

After Wu Cheng got up, he saw that Young Master Jia had already got up.

In the main hall, the people who were still talking and drinking were completely puzzled when they saw this scene.

Young Master Jia made an excuse, saying that after leaving for a while, the others resumed laughing.

By candlelight.

Bai Yan is writing bamboo slips.

Every time he led the troops on his way, he had little time to write bamboo slips, and looked for opportunities for Lu to send them to the state of Qi.

Now that he came to Handan, he was idle, and he wanted to write more to make up for Tian Feiyan.

"Gentleman, Young Master Jia is asking to see you outside the mansion!"

Outside the study, Ye's voice suddenly came.

Hearing Ye's words, Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the door, but he didn't react.

Young Master Jia?
Bai Yan even wondered if he had heard it wrong. One must know that his purpose of coming to Handan was for the son Jia.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the bright moon in the sky.

It's all late at night.

Why did Young Master Jia appear here?And also came to his mansion.

Accompanied by doubts, the next moment, a person appeared in Bai Yan's mind.

Princess Zhao, Zhao Qiu!

Without writing any more bamboo slips, Bai Yan got up, went to the door and opened it.

"go!"

Bai Yan looked at Ye, opened his mouth and said, motioning to lead the way.

Ye nodded, took the candle lamp, turned around and led Bai Yan towards the outside of the mansion.

This mansion was bought by Bai Yan from an official at a low price after he came to Handan, even the maids and servants in the mansion were bought one get one free.

The reason is the drought in Zhao State, the increase in grain, and there is no surplus grain. Seeing that the money is being squandered by the wives and children, the officials feel distressed and send all the wives, children, and children away from Handan. This can not only reduce expenses, but also have more money. Have fun in Handan city.

outside the mansion.

When Bai Yan came outside the mansion, he saw a carriage parked at the door under the moonlight.

Several figures were waiting in place.

Seeing the two black shadows approaching, Bai Yan frowned slightly, why didn't Young Master Jia bring a few maids to hold the lamp?
"Xu Junzi, this is the young master Zhao Jia."

Under Ye's weak candlelight, Wu Cheng stepped forward, cupped his hands to Bai Yan, and then introduced the person behind him to Bai Yan.

At this moment.

Bai Yan also saw, under the candlelight, a 30-year-old man appeared in front of him.

"Jia, I met Mr. Xu!"

Young Master Jia didn't wait for Bai Yan to open his mouth, and he bowed his hands first, with a very polite tone.

When Young Master Jia bowed his hands and saluted, Wu Cheng at the side also told Bai Yan that Young Master Jia was at a banquet, and when he learned about Bai Yan, he rushed here immediately, not even thinking about wearing shoes.

Bai Yan looked along his line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Mr. Jia's two feet, both of which were wearing cloth without shoes.

"Xu Zixiao, meet the young master!"

Bai Yan quickly cupped his hands and saluted, and after the salute, he looked at Young Master Jia excitedly: "Why do you have to do this, Young Master? How can Xu Zixiao let you do this?"

As Bai Yan said, he took off his shoes and quickly put them at Young Master Jia's feet.

Young Master Jia wants to act and be famous, and he wants to use this kind of behavior to make him obediently and convincingly.

Bai Yan sees through but doesn't say anything.

Young Master Jia is eager for fame now, and so is he.

"No!"

Young Master Jia hastily declined.

In the end, Bai Yan argued with Young Master Jia for a while, but under Wu Cheng's push, Young Master Jia had to put on his shoes and enter the mansion together with Bai Yan.

inside the mansion.

The maid had already prepared tea, which was lit with several candles.

Bai Yan, sons Jia and Wu Cheng sat kneeling in the main hall together, looking at each other.

It was only then that Bai Yan realized that the person behind Wu Cheng was not Princess Zhao Zhao Qiu, but Young Master Jia!
Although he didn't understand why Zhao Qiu was the one who went to the Red Loft at night, Bai Yan still breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Young Master Jia.

Before that, Bai Yan was also very worried. After all, he didn't follow the route arranged by Ying Zheng. After arriving in Handan, he didn't make contact with Qin State, nor did he go to those Zhao State officials.

In order to lower the vigilance of Young Master Jia, he didn't even allow Gui and Ye to inquire about Young Master Jia's news.

So all along, he wasn't sure how long it would take to see Young Master Jia.

"The young master came here in a hurry, is it because of the five thousand shi rice millet?"

After Bai Yan saw the maid pouring tea for Young Master Jia, he asked softly.

See Wu Cheng.

Bai Yan could roughly guess that Young Master Jia's visit must be for the five thousand stones.

"To be honest with Mr. Xu, Jia heard that the gentleman had five thousand shi of grain in his hand. He was overjoyed. In the case of disasters in our country of Zhao, the fields failed, and the people were displaced. Charcoal in the snow."

Young Master Jia cupped his hands and said to Bai Yan.

By candlelight.

Young Master Jia spoke slowly, Bai Yan listened quietly,

Bai Yan was not surprised when he saw the young master Jia forgive a lot, and finally talked about the 250 gold.

If it wasn't for the 250 gold, maybe Young Master Jia wouldn't be here right now. After all, he had agreed to trade with Zhao Qiu before, and Zhao Qiu and Wu Cheng didn't know that he still had tens of thousands of stones, grain and grass in his hands, and even more. many.

"I also hope that the gentleman can be more flexible and can sell food for double the money."

Young Master Jia bowed his hands to him, his words were sincere and his face was frank.

Bai Yan took the tea and took a sip.

I have to say that the first time I met this son Jia, the other party's face was really beyond his expectation. First, he came here without wearing shoes, and then he negotiated the price and cut it twice.

"Son!"

Bai Yan sighed, cupped his hands towards Young Master Jia, and then shook his head pretending to be helpless: "Young Master understands that you use reason to move you with emotion, Zi Xiao is tearful, but Zi Xiao also has difficulties."

by the wooden table.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Wu Cheng looked at Bai Yan in surprise.

He didn't expect Xu Zixiao to see Young Master Jia coming in person without even wearing shoes, so he would not let go under such circumstances.

Young Master Jia was also stunned.

Apparently, Young Master Jia didn't expect that Xu Zixiao, who was so young, wouldn't get in.

Under the gaze of Young Master Jia and Wu Cheng.

Bai Yan seemed to be in a dilemma, but finally he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Young master, if Zixiao takes money from you again, Zixiao will be an unrighteous person. Right now, Zixiao has decided to leave the country of Zhao and discuss with his elders. What do you think, young master?"

Bai Yan thought for a while, and said to Young Master Jia: "Young Master, don't worry, if it doesn't work, Zi Xiao will definitely give Young Master two hundred stones of food and grass, and will never accept half money and half gold!"

The voice fell.

Young Master Jia narrowed his eyes and waved his hands quickly.

Young Master Jia knew that he was here to persuade Xu Zixiao to ask for less money, not to drive Xu Zixiao away.

Although two hundred stones are a lot, compared to five thousand stones, Young Master Jia still knows how important it is.

However, Xu Zixiao's 250 gold is too much.

thought here.

Young Master Jia looked at Wu Cheng beside him. He really didn't expect this situation. As soon as Xu Zixiao talked about the price, he was about to leave Handan and go back to negotiate. How should he continue talking.

"Xu Junzi, please be blunt, how much less can you do this time?"

Seeing Young Master Jia's gaze, Wu Cheng knew that this was his opportunity to express himself, so he looked at Bai Yan and spoke first.

Hearing Wu Cheng's words, Bai Yan pondered for a moment, then shook his head at Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Bai Yan looked at Young Master Jia.

"Young Master treats me this time, so Zi Xiao can speak directly."

After Bai Yan cupped his hands, he raised another hand, indicating that Young Master Jia came to him with bare feet, he saw it clearly and remembered it in his heart.

Seeing Bai Yan like this, Young Master Jia immediately sat up straight and listened to what Bai Yan had to say.

"Zi Xiao actually wants to sell food and grass on this trip, not five thousand!"

Bai Yan looked at Young Master Jia, turned his head and looked around, to see if there were any Tibetans under the candle lamp, and then whispered to Young Master Jia.

"It's thirty thousand!"

Bai Yan said.

In a word.

In an instant, Young Master Jia stood up.

"what?"

Young Master Jia opened his mouth wide and looked at this young man named Xu Zixiao in disbelief.

Thirty thousand stones of millet! ! !

This.

Young Master Jia was stunned, completely stunned, he couldn't believe that this Xu Zixiao actually had so much food.

Wu Cheng on the side also looked at Bai Yan with a dull expression, and even wondered if his ears just heard it wrong.

Inside the main hall.

Bai Yan looked at the appearance of Young Master Jia and Wu Cheng, and did not rush to speak, but patiently waited for the two to calm down.

After a few breaths, the dazed young master Jia gradually calmed down.

"Is what Zixiao said true?"

Young Master Jia asked seriously.

Wu Cheng was on the side, breathing a bit short of breath, looking at Bai Yan, he never expected that Xu Zixiao would not tell the truth to Princess Zhao Qiu when he was in the red attic.

Not five thousand stones at all.

Instead, there is a full [-] shi of grain and grass.

If Young Master Jia hadn't come barefoot tonight and touched Xu Zixiao, Xu Zixiao might have turned around and sold the rest of the grain and grass to others.

"If it weren't for that, how could Zixiao say that he would go back to the clan to discuss with his father."

Bai Yan sighed.

When Young Master Jia heard Bai Yan's words, his face changed, and his expression repeated for a while.

"Dare to ask Zixiao's family, where can they provide [-] grain and grass, and if Zixiao leaves, will he come back?"

Young Master Jia looked at Bai Yan, full of nervousness.

He already raised a lot of food and grass, if he got another [-] food and grass, it would be enough for him to do a lot of things, and even operate well, not only his status in the court, but also in the hearts of the people would increase several times.

"When Qin attacked Zhao, they could send grain to Zhao. No matter whether it could be done or not, why should you care where Xu's family is? As for whether Zi Xiao will come back after leaving Handan, the talented Zi Xiao said that even if he doesn't return, I will also send two hundred shi to the prince's mansion."

Facing Young Master Jia's question, Bai Yan said with a smile.

"This"

Young Master Jia frowned slightly, until now Young Master Jia also realized that his question just now was very abrupt.

If the Xu family's [-] shi, grain and millet were really sent to the Zhao country, it would undoubtedly offend the Qin country. At this time, ask where the Xu family is, and treat others as fools.

thought here.

Young Master Jia sighed, thankfully he wanted to send someone to go back with Xu Zixiao.

Inside the main hall.

After Young Master Jia calmed down, he continued to sit on the straw mat, under the dim light, and clasped his hands on his lap.

He must take the [-] shi of food and grass.

But if the previous price was used, he would have to spend [-] gold. This figure is too huge, and now he can't afford it at all.

"Rong Jia has been thinking about it for two days, and Zi Xiao is going to play in Handan. To show his affection, Jia will send two beauties over tomorrow for Zi Xiao's entertainment!"

Young Master Jia cupped his hands to Bai Yan and said, first appease Xu Zixiao, he will go to Zhao Qiu to discuss how to eat the [-] shi grains.

Bai Yan got up and cupped his hands at Young Master Jia.

outside the mansion.

Bai Yan sent Young Master Jia to the carriage, stood where he was, and watched the carriage leave.

This Young Master Jia really did what he thought, when he knew that there was more food and grass, he didn't dare to talk about the price lightly.

Young Master Jia will definitely not let go of the [-] shi, grain and millet, and Young Master Jia who can't afford money will sooner or later have to give something low.

"Zhao Qiu, Zhao Jia, Wu Yun!"

Bai Yan murmured softly.

He turned his head and walked back into the mansion.

Young Master Jia has already entered the urn, just need to take it step by step.

What really made Bai Yan curious was that Wu Yun belonged to the Wu family in Xingyang, and Wu Yun knew Zhao Qiu, and Zhao Qiu called his son Jia.

Thinking of his previous speculation about Wu Yunru Handan's purpose.

Bai Yan had a hunch that there must be an anti-Qin organization behind this young master Jia and Zhao Qiu, and all the anti-Qin forces in the world were connected with them.

Perhaps in the future, it will be these gentry who will disturb the situation in the world secretly.

"Interesting, but I don't know if there is a chance to get in touch with them!"

Bai Yan thought in his heart.
