This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 317

After some questioning, Yang Maodao found out that the money was given by his son before Yang's return to Chang'an. After asking Yang Maodao again, he was surprised to find that Wang Hui, the worthless child that everyone had heard from word of mouth, was here now. Shanzhou actually seems to have gained some fame. He captured Murongji alive before Tuyuhun's formation, and was promoted to rank six military general. He also seemed to be quite appreciated by Hou Junji, and he was used by Longxi before the formation, and he was awarded fertile land. A thousand acres, and even made a farm there.The cigarettes and canned food that are popular among the rich in Chang'an today are produced in that farm.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Maodao couldn't bear to pay more attention to Wang Hui's family.

"This kid is capable."

He said that as soon as he stretched out his hand, he asked the maid to take a cigarette, well, now that cigarettes are becoming popular in Chang'an City, even Li Shimin has smoked it, so Yang Maodao is naturally not immune.

The maid quickly brought up a pack of cigarettes, Yang Maodao picked one up casually, looked at it but couldn't help asking curiously: "Why is Madam willing to smoke this product of Hou Shangshu for me today, isn't it usually from Kunlun Mountain? "

Madam smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, the king came to visit and brought three big boxes of Yipin Hou Shangshu. I saw that the master liked it too, so I left a box."

Yang Maodao nodded and said with a smile: "You are filial."

As a prime minister, he can afford to smoke a first-grade Hou Shangshu, but he is not that addicted to cigarettes. In addition, the first-grade Hou Shangshu is indeed expensive in Chang'an City. At the same time, he is a cautious person, and he has already heard that Li Shimin said that Hou Junji named his cigarette Yipin Hou Shangshu, although he didn't say anything on the surface, but he seemed to have a grudge in his heart, so Yang Maodao deliberately didn't smoke the best cigarettes on weekdays, but only smoked Kunlun Mountain, which was second-class in price. , but Wang Dong sent three boxes of Yipin Hou Shangshu without saying a word when he entered the mansion this time. There are good cigarettes to smoke, and he can smoke the filial cigarettes of the younger generation in an open manner. Yang Maodao is also quite satisfied, and he is very satisfied with Wang Dong My impression is naturally better.

After lighting up the first-grade Hou Shangshu, he took a good puff, and after blowing out the smoke ring, he said to his wife with a smile: "Since Wang Hui's child is here, we can have a banquet at our house in a few days, so let Wang Hui come and see you." .”

"Then what will the king do these days?"

Madam thought for a while and replied: "It is said that Yang Hu and Yang Maodao invited him to play polo tomorrow, and Yang Shidao nodded. It would be good for them juniors to play more together. Are they all family?"

At this time, in the sunset at dusk, Wang Dong, who was sitting in the small courtyard, suddenly coughed twice inexplicably, and looked up at the sky. I don't know which brother is missing him, the handsome man again, and thought for a long time. I couldn't figure it out, so I lowered my head and continued to cut to the polo club I will use tomorrow.

This thing looks like a golf club of later generations, but the details are different, and it is also quite particular. It is customized according to the length of a person's arm. Wang Dong went to the market to ask about it after returning from Li Chengqian's bedroom today. Wang Dong was shocked when he found out that polo was really an aristocratic sport, and a polo would cost more than a dozen taels of silver, so he decided to do it himself.

At this time, a polo pole was quickly taking shape under his skillful hands. He Luo walked by and watched Master Wang doing carpentry work, and then couldn't help but asked: "Sir, is there something wrong with the wood we are using?" Well, today we went to the shop where custom-made clubs are made, and I saw that they only use elm and willow, so I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to use this fruit wood.”

"What's wrong with the mixed fruit tree?" Wang Dong asked without raising his head while adjusting the arc of the crescent at the top of the cue with a knife.

He Luo replied: "The mixed fruit wood is hard. It is said that when playing polo, the clubs will inevitably collide. If there is a fight, the mixed fruit wood is too hard, and it may easily hurt your hands."

"Yeah." Wang Dong nodded and continued to sharpen his fruit wood club, "What if you hit someone?"

He Luo thought about his previous experience of using a mixed fruit stick, "It's better to use mixed fruit sticks for beating people."

"That's it."

As Wang Dong said, he naturally picked up the cue and looked at the smoothness of the surface of the cue.

He Luo was taken aback for a moment, and finally couldn't help swallowing when he saw Master Wang's expression. Hearing what he said, he didn't go there just to play ball, and he suddenly got sweaty in his heart for the nobles who were going to compete with him.

"Meiniang, why don't you go watch polo with us."

Yang Hu surrounded Wu Meiniang happily and said with a smile.

Wu Meiniang shook her head: "No, we have something to do in the Zhuangzi outside the city today, I have to go there to see. Why don't you go with me to the Zhuangzi outside the city, then don't play the ball, it's not interesting."

"Zhuangzi outside the city?" Yang Maodao on the side did not take the steps that Wu Meiniang found for Wang Dong, but stepped forward and asked: "What is it that you are working for, and you go there yourself?"

Wu Meiniang didn't speak, Yang Hu thought for a while and suddenly said: "Isn't it going to be a business of selling pigs and sheep?"

Hearing this, Wu Meiniang's face couldn't help turning red.

She and her mother Yang Zhi lived a normal life in Yang's house. Although Yang Shidao gave them some money, they were still very tight. A small farm, the main job is to raise some livestock to supply Chang'an's butcher shop for profit.

Today, a batch of live pigs were slaughtered in the farm, and they were about to send them to the market in Chang'an for sale. Wu Meiniang was relieved and promised her mother to go and see for herself. He didn't want Wang Dong to be bullied by Yang Hu and the others, so he planned to bring Take Yang Hu and the others to the farm outside the city.

But as a young lady of the Yang family, others lived a polite life, but she had to worry about such trivial matters all day long. Wu Meiniang also knew that it would be quite a joke to tell people. At this time, when Yang Hu said this, Wu Meiniang inevitably felt a little inferior. .

But she pursed her lips when she heard the words, and then said with a smile: "I'm going to sell pigs!"

"How did you do such a thing? It's very dirty!" Yang Hu said, Wu Meiniang, who was already a bit uneasy, couldn't help but blush when she said this.

Seeing this situation, Yang Maodao at the side quickly laughed and said: "You really shouldn't do this kind of thing by yourself. I sent a few servants to drive this pig to our Yang family's fire room to supply. We still go together Go watch a game."

Hearing this, Yang Hu also reacted, and quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, our servants are about to eat some pork, how much is there?"

Although Wu Meiniang didn't want to go, but Yang Hu and Yang Maodao couldn't save face when she was dragged like this, so she could only say: "There are too many pigs in our farm, and there are more than 20 pigs that will be sent to Chang'an this season. "

Hearing that there were so many pigs, Yang Maodao was also a little surprised, but he had already said his words, so he would not repent, and said directly: "Is it only more than 20 pigs? I'll ask someone to take them down."

He turned around and called one of his servants and said: "Go and ask about the price of pigs in the market, after two days I will send you the money and send it to the third grandma, and then ask someone to drive the pigs back from the farm. "The boy quickly agreed.

Although he lost dozens of taels of silver at once, and felt a little pain in his heart, Yang Maodao naturally pretended to be calm, and said to Wu Meiniang, "This time we can go to the polo field together, I see. It’s almost time to arrive at the Wanghui, let’s go quickly.”

After he finished speaking, Yang Hu couldn't wait to ask someone to lead the horse. He specifically asked for three good horses, including Wu Meiniang's horse.
