First update today.

Are you here?

Mo Zi was very interested in that place.Although Luozhou is the most affluent state in the Great Zhou, there are many Shangdu people coming and going in Luozhou city, but there are not many opportunities to have dinner with Shangdu people, especially when she really wants to inquire about news.So, his eyes were looking outside, but his ears were straightened up, wanting to hear if there is any gossip about Jingwangfu.

"When you go, you'll know." It's obvious that you can talk about a mountain in a long story, but who knows that Brother Erlang will end it with eight words.

Mo Zi stared, but unfortunately no one could see it.

"How can I go? My mother won't let me go." Eleventh Miss said angrily.

"It's not that I won't let you. Mother is worried that you are still young." Every time Miss Six speaks, she must be just right, showing that she is very gentle and skillful.

"I'm almost 13 years old, still young? My eldest sister got married when she was 16." Eleventh Miss continued to puff up.

"I said Eleventh Sister, you are still thinking about getting married before you are 13 years old? Leaving aside your age, at least you have to wait for the three older sisters above you to get married before it will be your turn. So going to Shangdu is also Sixth Sister will go first. When she helps you find a good brother-in-law, you can stay as long as you want." The smiling man seems to be the oldest of the four siblings.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, mother hasn't decided yet. And this is a private matter at home, don't talk about it outside." Sixth Miss's tone was a little embarrassing.

"What are you afraid of? The sixth younger sister is so beautiful, even if she is the number one beauty in Luozhou, she deserves it. I think brother, only the son of the queen and general of Shangdu can match the sixth younger sister." , "Erlang, do you think so?"

Erlang was silent.

There might be an expression, but Mo Zi couldn't see it clearly.

"Third brother!" Miss Six was really angry now, "If you continue to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation, I will go back and tell my mother."

Mo Zi didn't care about Miss Six's conservatism, but when she heard the statement that the number one beauty in Luozhou, she had a big objection in her heart.Before, she had observed carefully that although the Sixth Miss was pretty good-looking, she was far from Qiu Sanniang. At most, she was a dignified lady with a conservative and fun personality.This may also be because she has an unusual master, and she has an unusual relationship, and her vision is different from that of the public.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk. I praise you, but I still don't want to." The third son was still smiling.

As soon as the door opened, the two white-clothed guys just brought up the dishes.

"Will the war in the north affect Luozhou?" It was Zhong An's voice.

"Not before. However, Pan County is not peaceful recently." Young Master You Qi said, "Not only are there twice as many soldiers guarding the city than usual, but they are also stricter than before for passing merchants. It is necessary to conduct interrogation and inspect the goods, and if there is anything wrong, people will not be allowed to go out or let people in. I heard later that it was because they were afraid that Daqiu’s spies would sneak into our Dazhou through Nande.”

"It's not just that we are afraid of any changes in Daqiu. From across the Chuanjiang River in Pan County to the territory of Nande, the defenders are also extremely strict. I saw with my own eyes that several carts of iron tools were not allowed to enter, because there were supplies to Daqiu. In the past, I didn’t have writing discs, so I had to pay some silver and let the merchants buy them. Nowadays, writing discs are necessary, and I have to have a guarantor in Nande. It’s really annoying.” The third son said loudly, “Father We are considering whether we should take back the business in South Germany to avoid being affected by the war."

"You don't have to worry too much. Nande and Dazhou have always been friends, but now it's just to guard against Daqiu's ambitions. Even if Daqiu can swallow the Yuling of Maru Xiaoguo, he will definitely not dare to offend Dazhou." It was Zhong'an who spoke. .

"Of course, my Great Zhou has a vast territory, strong soldiers and strong horses, and can fight well on land and water, so why are you afraid of the barbarians in the north?" The third son has many shortcomings, and the pride of being a great Zhou person can be regarded as an advantage.

"Although Yuling is a small country, there are dangerous rivers on three sides of the country. How Daqiu broke up the country is still unknown. This makes me nervous in Dazhou and Nande, because our border and Yuling are connected by a river. Qiu Neng leads the army into Yuling, maybe he will fight with our water army soon. If the prediction is correct, the waterway in Luozhou may not be as smooth as before." The unfamiliar voice was loud and rough.

Mo Zi knew that he should be the other person behind Erlang.

"Brother Hua is right. Apart from the Seven Immortals Gorge here, and the Qinmuling River, the navies of the two countries have frequently lined up their boats recently. They don't allow civilian ships to pass through at all, just for fear of getting into Daqiu's ships. The waterway is blocked. , it is difficult to travel by land, and the prices of special products in the two countries have increased several times. I hate the restrictions on writing and discs, and I can't take the opportunity to make a fortune." The third son sighed regretfully.

Suddenly a low laugh came into Mo Zi's ears.I don't know who it is, like a philistine mocking someone.But across the screen, sitting closest to her was the family Erlang.

"So, if you enter Nande by water, it is completely impossible?" Zhong An asked.

"It should be impossible." The third young master replied quite affirmatively, "If I can walk by water, I will still stay at home?"

"That's not necessarily the case." The seventh son's voice became mysterious, "I heard people say that some private boats went to the fish beach in the early days, and they didn't even need to spend the money to pass the customs. They only bought and sold goods that were prohibited from trade between the two countries."

"Absurd! Nonsense! The fish drowned on the fish beach. There are two dangerous peaks, the current is fast, the river bed is paved with chaotic stones, and the land is desolate." The third son retorted loudly.

"That's why it's also called Baigu Beach. Few people made a fortune, and countless dead people died when their boat capsized and turned into ghosts, preventing the living from going ashore. Flesh and flesh planted ten miles of reeds at the bottom of the river, with poisonous thorns growing from each root. , even if you can get close to the shore, you can't find your way out of the poisonous reeds."

Mo Zi was putting down the teacup, when he heard the Seventh Young Master's alarmist talk there, he also brought out a ghost and a poisonous reed, and spouted half a mouthful of tea.Fortunately, Miss Eleven over there screamed, and no one seemed to notice her.

"Brothers are so boring. Talking about the war is already interesting, but you still tell such a terrible ghost story. Stop talking about it, it's frightening, and Sixth Sister's face turned pale."

Under Miss Shiyi's firm opposition, the men stopped discussing the current situation, and instead discussed whether to find a few Ge Qiu who are good at singing and dancing.

Before there was an agreement over there, the door here opened.

"Brother Mo, sorry for the long wait." The genuine Erlang, Cen Jia Erlang came in, "I can't figure out the account, there is an inexplicable loss of 3000 taels, and I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."

But when he saw the many people behind the screen, he was stunned and asked, "Brother Mo, you brought guests, why did you order a bowl of Yangchun noodles?"

Mo Zi laughed and said, "Save a few taels of money for your account."

"Brother Mo looks down on me too much. I can't hide 3000 taels of silver. For a meal, you just order good wine and good food. Are you afraid that I won't be able to serve you?" Cen Erlang held out a stack of notebooks, "Since you Come here, save me a trip, and help me find out if the money is back. 3000 taels!"

"I don't look at it. 3000 taels won't make it right. Do you still dare to hand over the account to you? I told your father, come today and don't look at the account." Mo Zi stood up and pulled Cen Erlang out, "We The two walked and talked."

The door closed softly.

"It turned out to be someone from the owner of Wangqiu Tower, no wonder one person occupied such a large private room, and looked so complacent." Zhong An said it was no wonder.

"At most it's the housekeeper." The third young master thought he wasn't mistaken.

That Erlang swept over lightly, the leisurely shadow behind the screen was no longer there, but the fragrance of tea could still be smelled.A pair of black jade eyes flashed and then disappeared.

Everything is calm.
