The carriage wandered around Feishou Nancheng casually, the beef shop is not hard to find, and it is barely edible, Cao Wei didn't know why the girl looked sloppy before, and then caught a glimpse of her eating the sauced beef, greasy hands carelessly Wiping his body, Cao Wei rolled his eyes. The one surnamed Xu didn't let Cao Wei take his eyes off him, and he made no secret of his preference for sex over friends. He even went to the silk and satin shop to buy some bright clothes for the girl. There were a lot of colorful rouge boxes, and a lot of money was taken out, which made Cao Wei a little bit overwhelmed, thinking that you are a guy whose words and deeds are related to the prosperity and decline of Beiliang, and you just have the leisure to eat and drink with a little girl having fun
The carriage left the city from the north gate of Feishou without stopping, and rushed to the next resting place, Huangnan County, and arrived at the Beiliang granary in the dusk. , suddenly transferred from the land of exiles to the blossoming Huangnan County City, probably this guy has not completely recovered from his nerves, when the concierge said that the king of Beiliang was coming, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he wanted to use his hands and feet in a dog-legged posture, Xu Fengnian naturally No need to wait outside the door. Not long after entering the mansion, I saw Cai Junchen and Yu Rourou running together. Cai Junchen's swordsmanship is mediocre, and at least he still has some three-legged kung fu. I have pity on this former queen of Qingcang City. Stop When she was out of breath, Xia Fei's cheeks, Xu Fengnian waved her and Cai Junchen to avoid the prostration etiquette, walked into the depths of the mansion together, looked at the brand new fourth-grade civil servant patch on Cai Junchen, and joked Said: "Cai County Governor, I heard from the people in the city that you, Mr. Cai, refused to take off your official uniform even when you slept. I wondered. Is it more comfortable than the dragon robe you wore before?"
Cai Junchen bowed his body and said with a bright smile: "The lowly job is really not about flirting with the prince, it is indeed much more comfortable. Wearing that thing in Qingcang is just a pleasure. If you can live a day, you are afraid that your head will be blown the next day." I don’t know where to put it for people, and I can’t sleep well. It’s very different now. The honest lark officials have been promoted for more than ten or twenty generations. There are officials, but those are officials the size of sesame mung beans , This time, I am honoring my ancestors. When I look back, I will give the Huangnan County affairs to the prince, and I want to revise the genealogy. When the time comes, I will boldly ask the prince to spare no effort to write some desktop articles for the prince. A few dozen words will do. "
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, as long as you can control the four Wang clans of Huangnan County, don't make Huangnan County a mess, I will definitely contribute to the genealogy, and I will also give Queen Yu's order. "
Hearing the condescending title of queen, Yu Rourou, who is already the wife of the sheriff, smiled sweetly. Perhaps it is because one side of water and soil can really nurture another person. Her former foxy demeanor is still there, and the word "hu" needs to be changed to "bright". It feels like a windowless house, but after opening the windows, it is naturally brighter. Cai Junchen, who had two fingers on the official man's body, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and rubbed his hands vigorously, and then heard the King of Beiliang, who came to see him off, say: "A good man will do it to the end, so I might as well tell you the truth, not to mention that a scholar enters an official position." For these two matters, the association of scholars and the establishment of an academy, Huangnan County is one of the top geomantic treasures in the entire Beiliang Road. You should pay close attention to it when the time comes. Those antique calligraphy and painting treasures smuggled to Huangnan County totaled forty-six pieces, and I pretended that I didn’t see any of them. If you want to gain a firm foothold in Zhouzhou, if you want to win over, a small matter of one tael of silver today will cost you a tael of gold then."
Cai Junchen didn't dare to speak, but Yu Rourou didn't see the cowardice in the past, and said with a smile: "My lord, don't worry, the servants have roughly calculated that if these things are sold cheaply, they are worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, and the county guard's mansion is not worth a cent." Not much, it must all be spent on managing the people's livelihood in Huangnan County. It's a pity that the husband is not familiar with the place here, so he can't sell it at a fair price, otherwise... "
Xu Fengnian pointed to Cai Junchen, and taught with a smile: "Lord Cai, Queen Yu is much better at life than you. Just let her be in charge, and she will be overqualified. Let me repeat, you can only let go of half of your heart first, Shui Jing and I The two patriarchs, Wang Xihua of the Wang family and Wang Zhenlu of the Lingsu Wang family, let me know that they are elegant and famous people. If they make a good start, they will not worry about not being able to sell at a high price. You still have to hang on to the other half of your heart. It’s normal for these flamboyant families to look down on you even if I’m the one to lead the way. It’s just weird to look down on you. Your experience in Qingcang’s human relationships doesn’t work here. Mr. Cai must have the consciousness to learn from the beginning. The last is Don't think that my trip to the mansion is to force you to sell pots and irons to make a loss-making business. The business of making money is better than a steady stream of water. As long as you secure the position of Huangnan County Guard in the future, two hundred thousand taels of silver? A middle county in Huangnan County Even the county magistrate may not be interested in it. In fact, I know very well that you, Cai Junchen, want to give the property that you have moved from Qingcang after so many hardships. As for how much to give, you can decide for yourself , don't worry about anything, the Li family and I are not as bad as the outside world imagines. You give Li Gongde money, he dares to accept it, and he dares not accept it. With the help of him, "Old Huang Nan", you work in Huang Nan County It will be much more refreshing.”
Cai Junchen surprisingly didn't show gratitude on the face and lips, but just hummed heavily. Xu Fengnian didn't stay in the mansion for a long time either, he left after having a meal. Cai Junchen walked to the door, watched the young king of Beiliang board the carriage, and saw the horse's head pointing, it should be to Wang Xihua's house. Zhou Junchen didn't go directly into the mansion, but sat down on the doorstep. Yu Rourou was a little surprised. After sitting down, she tugged at the skirt under her plump buttocks, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? It's not like you."
Cai Junchen rubbed his cheeks, sighed, and said softly: "My husband has spent his whole life in the blood of the refugee land. He became an emperor and wore a dragon robe. In fact, he is just a layman if he really wants to be a real official. , but I have never eaten dog meat, but I have always seen dogs digging, and at worst, I have heard dogs barking, right? Where do you say that you are an official, is it because the people below are desperately trying to figure out what you want? I am afraid that you will go to the wrong temple when you mention the pig’s head. Wrong Bodhisattva? Husband, the magistrate of Lingzhou, is good. It’s upside down. It’s my turn to teach me how to be an official and pave the way for me. How capable is Zhou Junchen? I, Zhou Junchen, have a head One doesn’t believe me. I understand what the King of Beiliang thinks, such as using my daughter to buy bones, and using me as an outsider to clean up Huangnan County. No matter how short Beiliang is, it is not so shabby. The king of Beiliang didn't force us to sell everything for him, but he clearly wanted to force me, Zhou Junchen, to willingly die for Beiliang."
Yu Rourou smiled, "Husband is not happy?"
Cai Junchen got up slowly, and said calmly: "After living half of my life, this is the first time I stand uprightly as a man, and I don't really want my husband to go to the battlefield to die. Why don't you want to?"
Yu Rourou frowned, and asked charmingly: "If, I mean, if that person takes a fancy to me as a broken flower, will you give it up this time?"
Cai Junchen looked directly at her with firm eyes, and said in a deep voice, "In the past, it was for survival. If there is still such a day in Beiliang, the husband will be killed. You can't go back more and more as a human being."
Yu Rourou smiled, wrinkled her nose playfully, she looked like an innocent girl instead of a well-known woman, and said angrily: "You know he can't, so you deliberately said something nice to me, right? ?”
Cai Junchen stretched out his fingers to help her lift a strand of black hair on her forehead, and said with red eyes, "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry for all these years."
Yu Rourou turned around suddenly and walked up the steps, with her hands twisted behind her back, her steps were light and agile.
…
On the carriage, Cao Wei huddled in the farthest corner from the girl who was busy applying rouge and gouache, and sneered at Xu Fengnian, "Yo, the surname is Xu, I couldn't see it before, and he bought a good heart?"
Xu Fengnian squinted and said: "When I bribed your brother to beat you together, you should have known about it, right?"
Cao Wei, whose scar was exposed, held a knife in one hand, "I really cut you off?"
Xu Fengnian added fuel to the fire: "When we arrive in Longqing County, I have to give away your knife, so hurry up and touch it a few more times."
Cao Wei said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I won't steal it if you don't give it to me?"
Just as Cao Wei was about to speak, Xu Fengnian stretched out both hands and bent a finger, "Of the ten thousand elite riders, only nine thousand are left."
Cao Wei was hungry and pounced on the sheep, holding Xu Fengnian's hand with only four fingers in his face, and said with a playful smile: "The surname is Xu, Xu Fengnian, Master Xu, ancestor Xu! We gentlemen are hard to follow. If you say 10,000, you can give 20,000." But you can’t just give nine thousand, how can you be short-changed in business, what you pay attention to is to be a child without deception! You and I cherish heroes and be heroic!”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "If you want me to take back the thousand horses, it's fine. Go cool off and don't be an eyesore."
Cao Wei said with a dry smile, "The carriage is just that big."
Xu Fengnian pointed to the curtain of the car, and Cao Wei rolled out of the car without any muddle, then lifted the curtain and poked his head out, "Don't forget, it's ten thousand, not nine thousand! I'm in a hurry with you if you have one soldier and one horse."
As a result, Shorty Cao forgot the existence of the bad-tempered killer girl, and was shot flying out of the sky by a bronze mirror. Cao Wei didn't even dare to fart, and sat next to the groom Xu Yanbing, grinning, bored, and repeated the same old Afterwards, he smiled and asked this world's top expert: "Master Xu, do you think I am more graceful than the one named Xu?"
Xu Yanbing remained indifferent.
Cao Wei refused to give up, and asked: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, then I am taller and more powerful than Xu, you should nod your head?"
Xu Yanbing still turned a deaf ear.
Cao Wei climbed up to Xu Yanbing's side, hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back very politely, and said solemnly: "I know you are a very powerful master, otherwise you wouldn't be able to chase Hong Jingyan and Zhongliang all the way to the border of Gusai Prefecture, but I, Cao Wei It's not bad, I'm not good with someone with the same surname as Xu, but when I meet you, I feel like it's too late, I have to explain some things to you first... "
Xu Yanbing laughed softly and said, "Are you trying to say, I, Cao Wei, have little education and knowledge, so don't lie to me for money, I have a good temper, so I won't hit you. I'm handsome, tall and mighty, so don't you Lie to me, if you dare to lie to me about this, I will definitely kill you?"
Cao Wei exclaimed: "Xu has told you all this? Damn, this bastard must have said a lot of things to ruin my reputation. Master Xu, don't trust that fellow, Xu Other skills are not great, it is really unconvincing to lie to women and men, it can definitely be called a master of fire!"
A cold-faced and cold-hearted person like Xu Yanbing was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't let Cao Wei move his dog's paw away, and said flatly: "The king of Beiliang didn't say anything else, but let me go to the Western Region with you when the time comes. "
Cao Wei bit his lip and remained silent.
In the carriage, Xu Fengnian was chatting with Yang Guangdou about the Yulong Gang that rose up in Lingzhou. This gang is now in a mess with fortune and family fortune snowballing. It has become one of the top gangs from a third-rate force in Lingzhou. How to make money, outsiders only know that it is a decapitation business of reselling at the border. Xu Fengnian told the old man to let the Yulong gang do horse smuggling with a few big horse thieves. Naturally, it will not be the familiar horse that is equivalent to most of the war horses and has no market, but will wantonly capture wild horses from the grassland, regardless of whether they are good or bad. The fish and dragon gangs pay high prices to buy them. At present, many horse thieves on the border have launched a mighty "reverse horse" business, but they are not directly connected with the fish and dragon gang, but sold to horse thieves who have a passion for the fish and dragon gang. , the price is naturally greatly reduced. Hearing this, the old man said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be useless to use such a stupid way to add familiar horses from Beiliang?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said with a smile: "Geographically, whoever belongs to the refugee land, the gains and losses of Beiliang and Beimang have to be counted in double. These unowned wild horses are almost the same. If the number doubles, it should not be underestimated. Besides Xu Fengnian Xiao told me a long time ago that housekeeping is nothing more than three years of new and old, three years of sewing and mending, and the word of sewing and mending is the most test of the skills of the head of the family. Now Beiliang wants me to go. Taking care of the trade-offs, I have one purpose, as long as I can turn silver into Beiliang's combat power, even if it is a copper plate business, I will do it as long as it does not delay the important and serious business."
Yang Guangdou sighed: "It's a blessing for Beiliang that the prince has such a heart."
Suddenly, Xu Fengnian saw that the girl had been painted with makeup, and inserted two hairpins obliquely on her head as an "icing on the cake". After putting down the bronze mirror, she sat upright and gave him a smiling face that she thought was feminine .
Yang Guangdou was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva. He couldn't bear to look at that face again, so he quickly turned his head and picked up a book.
The old man thought to himself that he really made things difficult for the little girl, this must be much more difficult than assassinating a celestial master, right
Xu Fengnian's concentration has long been tempered by the girl Li Zi who put half a catty of rouge on her face back then. Her smiling face remained the same. She bent down and stretched out her hand to forcefully pull back the orchid finger that the girl deliberately raised, and then gently scraped off some of it with her fingers. Too thick rouge.
Cao Wei raised the curtain at this time, and saw that always stiff "charming" face, which scared Cao Wei out of his wits, made a gesture of poking his eyes, and whispered: "Damn, a More ruthless than one!"
Xu Feng asked in a young voice, "Where is that big cat that likes to eat bamboo?"
Hehe girl lowered her eyelids, "Dead."
Xu Fengnian helped her fix the two crooked hairpins, rubbed her head, "Then I'll ask someone to find you another one from the bamboo forest in Xishu."
The girl who once pierced Wang Mingyin's chest with a hand knife and kicked Master Liu Hao's head for fun, twitched her little nose and shook her head slightly.
The old man left the carriage tactfully, and sat next to Xu Yanbing with Cao Wei on the left and right. Shorty Cao gloated and said, "Uncle Yang, you were kicked out too?"
Hehehe.
Hehe three times.
Cao Wei learned how to be smart this time, and jumped out of the carriage with the momentum of a thunderbolt. As expected, a slender arm directly penetrated the wall of the carriage. If Cao Wei did not escape, he would be heartbroken.
