Seeing Uncle Xu's high interest, Wen Yu followed suit and said, "What's the matter? Did the Su family give me an extra sum of money?"
"That's not true, but this matter does have something to do with the Su family."
Xu Laoer cleared his throat, looked at the people gathered around him who didn't know what was going on, and then continued:
"After the Su family received the first batch of spiritual lanterns, they started planning a banquet and invited families in Chang'an City to appreciate the spiritual lanterns. When I went out, I heard people talking in the teahouse. The Su family actually invited people to dinner. I’m afraid there’s something wrong with the eldest young master of the Su family.”
Everyone around knew that the class Miss Wen was leading recently had made a lantern that could be as bright at night as during the day, so they naturally had no doubts.
No one cheered, so Xu Laoer shook his head sadly and continued:
"As a result, everyone who came to the appointment on time that day was shocked by the Su family's generosity and thought it was some kind of Hongmen Banquet."
Monks can also use spells to illuminate the night, and there are even rare treasures that can keep the light on forever. However, the Su family's house is so big, and bright lanterns are hung all over it, illuminating the Su residence as if it were daytime. This is not a big deal. ?
"After the dinner, the whole city of Chang'an was talking about the Su family's spiritual lantern. Those who have some spare money are trying to buy one. It is suitable for both practicality and to show their status."
Xu Laoer smiled happily, they were the ones who made this lantern that surprised the whole city!
His daughter did it too!
"This isn't over yet," Xu Laoer waved his hand, and someone quickly moved a wooden stool for him to sit on. "When we sent the last batch of spiritual lanterns to the Su family yesterday, someone who was well-informed already found the yard we rented. ."
"Two young men came. The one who knocked on the door was named Chu Yan. He is handsome and has a good eloquence. The one who came with him was called Zhuo Fang. I heard he was a rich man who had just arrived in Chang'an."
"These two people somehow knew that the Su family's spiritual lanterns were bought from us. They want a share of the pie and are willing to pay a high price. It is best to have a long-term cooperation."
Xu Laoer was tempted when he thought about Chu Yan who said he wanted to continue working as a spiritual lantern for a while. He and Zhuo Fang seemed to have a good relationship, but they just felt weird.
"Have you sold it?" someone asked curiously.
"certainly--"
"Not sold." Xu Laoer replied confidently, "We agreed with the Su family that we would only sell to them. Of course we cannot break the contract."
Wei Jin came out to expose Xu Lao Er at this time, "Although Jing Liang said decisively at this time, he looked very sad when he rejected the person yesterday. He also asked us privately if he could sell some secretly."
"I don't want to make more money. When I get to Yongzhou, I can do some business." Xu Laoer explained.
"Then Chu Yan wanted to continue lobbying, but Zhuo Fang, who came with him, couldn't sit still. He said that he had made an appointment with someone at Fengyang Tower and was impatient to continue staying."
"Brother Yuan Zheng and I sent the last batch of spiritual lanterns there. In the evening, we heard that the Su family had been robbed and a batch of precious items were lost."
Xu Laoer laughed, "I guess a batch of spiritual lanterns were lost. As for who did it, I'm not sure."
"But this has nothing to do with us. Although the eldest young master of the Su family still wants us to continue doing it for a while, he can't force it as we agreed before."
Xu Laoer got up and went to the area where the Xu family was. Before leaving, he thought of something and said to Wen Yu:
"Before I left the city, I met a group of people who were also leaving the city. There were not many of them. There were no markings on the carriage and the guards. I paid attention. There was a chubby young man sitting in the car. He had very big ears, but the clothes he wore I have only seen the eldest son of the Su family wear this material."
Su Zhao? Wen Yu recognized this person from Xu Laoer's description.
"Where did he sneak out of the city?" "Looking from the direction the carriage left, it should be Kyoto."
Kyoto imperial examination?
The Su family is sending Su Zhao to take the imperial examination. Does King Ning know?
Wen Yu felt that there was a high probability that he didn't know, but the Su family was courageous enough. On the one hand, they relied on Prince Ning, and on the other hand, they secretly bet on the court.
However, these are not things she needs to worry about.
Wen Yu thought optimistically that Yongzhou would be arriving soon, and then she could concentrate on finding a way to return to the world of immortality.
After seeing the prosperity of Chang'an City, everyone had a lot to say to their families, and the things they had reluctantly bought at that time were now displayed proudly.
They have gained a lot in the past few days. Erya now sees that everyone is wary. Holding their hard-earned money, they convene the Youth Army to start their first all-member meeting.
The theme is the ownership and distribution of military resources and their subsequent application.
She also called Fan Renkai, planning to ask him to take some time to point out the Youth Army, and the cost would be taken from the money she just earned.
As everyone gathered together, everyone realized that they were about to continue their journey south, and the camp gradually became lively, preparing dry food and washing clothes.
Wen Yu waited for Fan Renkai to come back from the Youth Army before walking over.
"Miss Wen, what do you want from me?" Fan Renkai asked respectfully. He was convinced of Wen Yu's strength and admired her willingness to lead such a group of people south.
"I want to ask you, how can we dispose of the light armor and excess horses we captured?"
Fan Renkai thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Miss Wen, are you willing to recruit one or two more people? Of course, they are all people I have known before. There are a few in Chang'an City, and their character is absolutely as reliable as mine."
General Fan, please note that you have just transferred from the enemy camp to our camp less than half a month ago, and the transition was quite smooth.
Wen Yu complained a little inwardly, but still nodded. If a few more capable people could join, then a few fewer villagers would die next time they were in danger.
"Yes, but you recruited them and you need to take responsibility for it."
"No problem." Fan Renkai vowed, "Then Miss Wen's desire to change hands to light armor can also be solved. Some of them specialize in this."
"Okay, when they arrive, just ask him to find Mr. Wei Jin." Wen Yu left the job to Wei Jin, asked Fan Renkai about the first and second military training, and then left.
Wen Yu often goes to Dr. Wang Lang recently. Although she has a single water spirit root, she is unable to learn healing spells because of the strong cold she practices.
Therefore, Wen Yu searched out all the healing techniques he knew from the sea of consciousness and handed them to Wang Lang and several of his apprentices with spiritual roots every day.
When they were meditating, Wen Yu would go into the sick tent to chat, and sometimes he could sit there all afternoon without talking.
"Xiaoer, I'm here to play with you."
