Red Mansion Wind

Chapter 36 ;

General Xuanwei's Mansion.

Zhou's mother felt sorry for this silly son, and kept all kinds of nourishing soups and medicines, originally telling him to keep in good health, but he was so young that he couldn't support him, instead he played and sang every night, poor Xiangling was in severe pain after all.

It was really lucky that the two of them could cope with it. After several days of wind and snow subsided, Zhou Xu wondered if he was too depraved.

Is it time for us to prepare for the preliminary work of making a fortune?

I got up early this morning to exercise, and went to the backyard to find my own help. I should go out today to see if there are any ready-made materials. Except for the burning of glass mirrors, I have to study carefully. Others should have raw materials. It's the easiest way to process.

Soap needs lard, perfume needs no water, these programs are badly written by others, anyway, he knows that he is going to make a fortune from these.

"Brother Chun, cough...Brother Chun~"

Zhou Xu yelled and felt that it was a bit inconsistent, so he quickly added a word and felt much better. He stopped a few times and came out of the yard. A burly boy came out of the courtyard. He was Aunt Chun's eldest son. I don't know what his original name was, but he was Brother Chun, Brother Chun is called that.

"Grandpa, why are you here so early?"

The man wiped the oil stains on his mouth, thinking he was eating just now, Zhou Xu waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, and I've been bored at home for a few days, come out with me to play~"

"Okay~"

Brother Chun responded, went back to the house, put on thick clothes, and kicked the bag. Zhou Xu’s expenses for going out were covered in it, and Zhou’s mother gave him a fixed amount of money every month for him to eat, drink and have fun, and Brother Chun followed suit. , otherwise I wouldn't be able to grow this big man.

"Go out and take good care of the uncle. If something happens again, the wife will not spare you, and the old lady will also peel your skin!"

Seeing that her son was going out with Zhou Xu, Aunt Chun hurriedly ran out to instruct her. The two sentences made Brother Chun's words short by half, and she nodded again and again. Don't let Zhou Xu get hurt.

Although Mrs. Zhou forgave him last time, Aunt Chun really gave him a good meal.

"Hey, Aunt Chun is too fierce, Brother Chun, you are going to get married, so don't leave any room for it."

After leaving the mansion, Zhou Xu joked that this person in his memory had blocked him a lot, and he didn't treat him as someone else. After the two got very close, Brother Chun boasted and said, "Master Tiger, please don't give up!" You're making fun of me, don't say you're not married, even if you're married, I can still be disobedient, mother scolded me last time"

"Okay, okay, don't mention that screwdriver, that's a bad thing, just because you're in a bad mood, accompany me to the West Market~"

Xuehua Luhua and the two of them didn't ride horses either, they just strolled there while talking, and when they turned to Yujie to go west, there was a creaking sound behind them, and there were people urging them non-stop.

"Let it go, let it go!"

"Get out of the way, hurry up!"

Looking back, the large carriages were full, each of which was followed by seven or eight men pushing the handlebars of the carts, and the carriages cleared a group of brightly armored guys and headed north.

"What is this for?"

"Who knows, it looks like a public errand."

"Nonsense, I don't know who this old soldier is following, it belongs to the public, what kind of errand do I ask!"

Passers-by stepped aside one after another, looking for acquaintances to talk about, and they got first-hand information to go to the teahouse and restaurant to talk about. Zhou Xu was not staring at the car, but at the leading soldier in front. It seemed that he was not a soldier. It seems that the infantry armor is still tucked in a blanket to protect against the cold.

"Grandpa, don't you just know?"

Brother Chun thought that Zhou Xu was just watching the fun and didn't know what was going on here, so Zhou Xu looked back at Brother Chun and asked, "I know what it is?"

"Just this convoy, all the food on it is sent to the grasslands, I heard it was our master's plan~"

There are two kinds of people in the capital who are the most well-informed. One is the beggars on the side of the road. Ladies and gentlemen, whenever there is a little bit of news, the young men of several families gather together to discuss, and they can make a general idea of ​​the matter.

"master?"

Zhou Xu thought for a while, as if he had heard such a sentence, Brother Chun said in a low voice: "Isn't it the master, it is rumored that during the court meeting, Lord Zhen Guo had a problem, if anyone can answer it well, pick him up The envoy of the Privy Council, our master answered the question with one member of the Wang family, and in the end the master was slightly better, otherwise, why didn’t the Wang family get a job with the Privy Council?"

".Where did you all hear this news, and what you said has a nose and eyes, just like you saw it in the court."

Zhou Xu laughed and ignored this, and went straight to the West Market, but the West Market is not located in the west of the city, but the name of the former merchant market, which is still used today. The Dagan West Market is close to the Water Gate, where There are canal ports to facilitate the transportation of goods, and the commodities traded there are complete, including Dagan, Kunguo, both north and south, as well as imported goods brought in by coastal merchants.

But they are all under the banner of the Zhen family, and I don't know what grace the Zhen family has.

When we arrived in West City, although it was winter and it had just snowed, the ground was pattering, but there were people crowded and steaming, not less than usual, people buying goods, small merchants running through the streets, and roadside stalls. , more groups of Lifu sitting under the eaves gossiping.

The livelihoods of millions of people in the capital depend on these drops of sweat and patches of purple bruises. They must have never enjoyed the precious things they carried in their entire lives. Zhou Xu looked at the crowd and asked, "Why?" Do you feel that there are more people today than before?”

"Of course there are too many. I don't go out very much recently, so I don't know what's going on. The Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, once he took office, he will eat and drink all kinds of people, old and young, and some disabled people. They will all be driven out of the camp, and tens of thousands of people will lose their livelihoods, and those who have families will flock to the West Market to find a way to survive."

"It turned out to be like this. How does the imperial court manage things? They kicked out people without any arrangement. Didn't they force them to commit crimes?"

"Who says it's not~"

It's not just Zhou Xu who thinks so. The three well-dressed people who just entered the West Market frowned when they saw the idlers all over the street. They were accompanied by only a few burly men. The people of the city walked around them.

"Dai Quan, what's going on here, where are there so many idlers in West Market?"

"Master Baomu, you have to ask the privy envoy, Mr. Wang and the others. These are all retreated from the Beijing camp. They have nowhere to go, so they can only come here all at once."

"This matter is indeed a little hasty. It's uneasy for so many idlers to make trouble."

Dai Quan glanced at the old man and shut up too.

These three people are none other than the current emperor Song Yin who left the palace in the white dragon fish suit, along with Zhen Guogong Yang Qinhu and the eunuch Dai Quan. Today, Emperor Xiumu wanted to go out for a walk when he got excited. When I arrived at the Zhen Guogong Mansion, I met Yang Qinhu who was going to visit the West Market, so he followed him. Although there were only a few people, there were many strong and strong men walking around in the crowd.

Coming and going are not seven or eight steps away from the three of them.

"Go, go in and have a look~"
