The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 36

Regardless of the gossip behind the Chen family's father and son, everyone in Lu Xiaomi bought some daily necessities and went home directly.

Before noon on the second day, Shopkeeper Chen arrived at Lu's house with the hired carriage.A total of dozens of sacks of ground eggs, large and small, are also very gratifying to look at.

Xiaomi couldn't let outsiders into the greenhouse, so he made a pot of spicy rabbit meat and urged Gao Ren and Lu Wu to carry it back and forth.

Feng Jian tucked up the front of his gown, and also stepped forward to help.

It's a pity that he didn't do any heavy work after all.The front placket fell off, and was quickly scratched by the sack.

Xiaomi was so distressed that he tucked him up from time to time.It happened that Xiaodao in the backyard heard the news and rushed to help. Seeing the appearance of the two, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Xiaomi naturally didn't see it, but Lao Yang smiled and raised the copper pipe, and took a sip happily...

As night fell, the Lu family compound after a busy day finally quieted down.Women no longer come to do needlework, and it is rare for Xiaomi to go to bed early.In the main room in the front yard, the two brothers of the Lu family were already snoring loudly, only Father Lu's room was lit, and his back reflected by the window swayed from time to time. It was obvious that the old man was immersed in the sea of ​​books and couldn't extricate himself.

In the east wing, the three masters and servants of Feng's family also washed up and went to the kang.When Gao Ren was not being honest, he jumped up to the beam and ate the last piece of snacks, and then jumped down and got under the covers.

Lao Yang smiled and asked, "You don't rinse your mouth anymore? Xiaomi can tell you that if a child doesn't rinse his mouth after eating snacks, his teeth will rot easily!"

"I'm not a child!" Gao Ren rolled his eyes fiercely, looking very ferocious.Lao Yang ignored him, slowly folded his padded jacket, and lay down.

Gao Ren saw that Lao Yang and his master had indeed closed their eyes, hesitated for a moment, quickly took a big gulp of the teapot to his mouth, and finally blew on the oil lamp, lifted the quilt and covered his head tightly.

In the darkness, the corners of Lao Yang and Feng Jian's lips curled up. Looking closely, their expressions were somewhat similar...

"Gao Ren, send a message to Xuanming tomorrow to help Chen Xin." Feng Jian's voice became deeper and deeper in the dark night, but Gao Ren, who was bored in bed, could hear clearly.

He twisted his body and responded sullenly.

"understood!"

Xiaomi in the backyard was sleeping soundly, unaware that someone had opened his arms and embraced her in the widest, warmest and safest embrace.

In her dreams, it is rare that they are all beautiful, so the smile on her fair little face becomes sweeter and sweeter...

Besides, shopkeeper Chen took his son and ordered and ordered, but it was still at dawn, when the city gate first opened, that he sent his son back to Beijing.

The signboard of the Tang family is easy to use even in a remote state capital like Anzhou, and the little captain guarding the city gate did not dare to charge a penny.

On the contrary, Chen Xin thought that his parents were still begging for a living here, so he politely insisted on stuffing two taels of silver, and was so happy that the little captain sent him far away from the city gate.

Anzhou is a thousand miles away from Kyoto, and there is no need to elaborate on it.

In the afternoon half a month later, the convoy finally entered the north gate of Kyoto.A small steward from the Tang family came to greet him earlier, and Chen Xin carefully asked the main house and the shops that nothing major had happened after he left, so he was relieved.

The front of the Tang family's mansion was still so lively, the literati who posted the post hoped to be favored by the old and young masters of the Tang family and be introduced to Marquis Weiyuan.There are also shopkeepers from all over the country who come to Beijing to deliver goods and come to honor their master.In short, all kinds of people, but all bowed their knees and bowed their waists for power.

Chen Xin entered the front yard through the side door, and was about to go back to the house to change clothes when he went to talk to his master.I didn't want to, but I saw the third young master walking over with a whip in his hand, and the young man behind him was leading a tall black horse, which was very majestic.

Chen Xin's eyes flashed, and he quickly avoided to the side of the road and bowed to salute.

Tang Sanshao was unable to study or practice martial arts on weekdays, and he would only lose money in business, but he boasted that he was romantic, dressed in a wide robe with big sleeves, not to mention extremely gorgeous, and even covered his face with lead powder, just to name it It is said to imitate the ancients.

If it's okay during the day, but suddenly bumps into it at night, even the timid will shout, "Ghost!"

Chen Xin was slandering in his stomach, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face.

It's a pity that Tang Sanshao seemed to have a clairvoyant ear, and he heard the voice in his stomach.When he walked in front of him, he stopped, and asked with a sneer, "Hey, isn't this the most powerful shopkeeper under the second brother's hand, Mr. Chen? Are you back from going out? Next time, don't walk for so long. Without your help, Our Tang family's business is almost out of business!"

These words are too vicious. The Tang family's business is very big. Both the eldest and second young masters hold a lot, and there are more than a hundred shopkeepers.If other shopkeepers heard about it, wouldn't he be a young bird, and he would want to do errands for the master in the future, not to mention outsiders, even his colleagues who obeyed the orders of the second young master would trip him up.

"Third young master is absurd. The slave is stupid. He is just doing his job. He is definitely not as capable as other shopkeepers."

That Tang Sanshao snorted coldly, and when he was about to speak again, another person came from behind, with jade hairpins and brocade gowns, ordinary features but an extremely kind expression, "Third brother, didn't you say you were going to give it to me?" Auntie, please hello? Why haven't you left the house yet? After a while, I'm afraid the Marquis will fall down."

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me!"

Tang Sanshao's biological mother is the sister of Madam Weiyuan Hou, and also the successor of Master Tang.And the mothers of Young Master Tang and Second Young Master are the first wives of Master Tang's death, so Tang San Young Master naturally often visits Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.But Marquis Weiyuan, as a general, doesn't like his femininity, he scolds every time he sees it, it makes him like a mouse afraid of cats, he often has to avoid it.

Hearing that the second elder brother exposed his shortcomings, he gritted his teeth in resentment and responded, but he didn't dare to get angry. After all, Master Tang values ​​the harmony among his sons the most. If he dared to quarrel, half of his previous salary would be deducted. Monthly case, I'm afraid it will be completely gone.

But it was really hard not to get angry, so he raised his hand and lashed at the servant behind him with a whip, "Damn slave, did you show your face? Hurry up and leave! I will definitely peel your skin some other day!"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the tip of his whip unexpectedly "passed by" Chen Xin's left cheek, and a streak of blood appeared immediately, which was very conspicuous.

But Tang Sanshao was blind at the moment, as if he didn't see it at all, and walked away cursing.

A look of disgust flashed in Tang Ershao's eyes, and he motioned for Chen Xin to enter the study in the side courtyard with him.Soon there was a boy who brought medicine for wounds, Chen Xin naturally wanted to refuse, but Tang Ershao insisted on applying the medicine for him with his own hands, and finally got up to apologize, "Chang Ren, I have wronged you. Help me on weekdays." It’s all about working hard, but now I have to bear the name of a servant..."

"Second Young Master is serious. When we met robbers on the road together, although the villain was lucky enough to block the knife for Second Young Master, but after that, it was all thanks to Second Young Master's support. It was my old father's small shop, and he was also taken care of by Second Young Master. People can't thank you enough."

Chen Xin was not a ten-year-old child. He really believed that these masters would treat such a small person as a friend, and his expression was still so respectful, and he never neglected him.

Sure enough, Tang Ershao was very satisfied, raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "Is the old man in the family okay?"

"Thanks to the second young master, my father and mother are in good health. This time, they are still talking about asking the villain to take good care of the second young master! Anzhou is remote and there is nothing good. Last winter, my father happened to take two snow wolf skins. The color is pure white, without any stray hairs. The villain will send it over in a while, how about the second young master?"

"And such a good thing, the snow wolf skin is rare, and it will be Lord Hou's birthday in a few days, so it happened to be used as a birthday present."

"It's all thanks to the second young master. The villain has asked my father to continue to pay attention to buying good furs. I will send another batch in autumn."

"Okay, the more the better. It's hard work for your old man. The price of fur is [-]% higher than the market price."

"Thank you, Second Young Master."

Chen Xin hesitated several times, but he did not tell about those dolls.

It is also a sigh to say that when he left home to be a traveling businessman, he didn't want to encounter danger, so he happened to save Tang Er Shao. He thought that the two of them could be friends, and with the support of the Tang family, he could also do something.Who would have thought that these rich and noble sons would call him a son of a merchant as brothers and sisters.He was respectful on the surface, but in fact he was still used as a servant.It's good that there is nothing to do on weekdays, but if the three brothers of the Tang family fight for property in the future, he may be the first to be pushed out to prevent disaster.

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't offend Er Shao Tang and cause any trouble, so he remained deadlocked.

For some reason, he only saw Feng Jian before, and he seemed to be possessed. He always felt that this person was not simple, and maybe it was an opportunity for him to break the deadlock.

In this way, if Lu Xiaomi entrusts him to bring the dolls sold in Kyoto, it is best not to let the Tang family know first.

Thinking this way, he said a few more gossips, and Chen Xin resigned.

After disposing of the goods he had brought back, he rarely had time to spare, so he changed his clothes and planned to go out for a walk, visit the various Yinlou embroidery shops, and think about how to sell those dolls along the way.

Consignment is naturally the most worry-free, but he always feels wrong.

As the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, Kyoto is naturally the most prosperous and lively.Even though it was getting late, the market was still crowded with people.

I heard that the Supreme in the palace, because the little princess learned to write poems, specially ordered to cancel the curfew for three days.He can be said to be the one who loves his daughter the most among the emperors of all dynasties, but he treats his only son, the prince, the most harshly. Even a person like Chen Xin who is unwilling to gossip can list a bunch of them casually.

Of course, Tian's family affairs are always too far away from him as an ordinary person, and he is still worrying about how to sell the doll, and sell it at a high price.

It's a pity that there was no good place to go after walking for more than half an hour, so I had to go into a teahouse to rest.

This teahouse is not big, but it is quieter than it is.There are no noisy theaters on the first floor, and there are small private rooms on the second floor. You can watch the night view directly through the window, and enjoy the warming spring breeze with a cup of tea, which is quite pleasant.

Just when Chen Xin was pouring tea, the box next door also welcomed the guests.The compartments are not made of masonry, but just spliced ​​with wooden boards, supplemented by potted plants, which naturally cannot block any sound.

Thus, Chen Xin's free time came to an end.
