After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

After Lin Yucheng said goodbye to his brother, he relied on his family connections to send him, his mother, and his younger brother to the relatively peaceful Western Chu. At this moment, they had not long settled in Xuancheng, the capital of Western Chu.

Some time ago, I wanted to go out and do some things first, but I didn't expect to meet Su Nianwei looking for someone to ask if he had packed someone's things.

After he escaped from Canglang County with his brother, he was very grateful to Su Nianwei. Although he didn't know the other party's purpose, it was a fact that the other party had indeed helped him, so he didn't hide his secrets. He turned around and made Mengshi and handed it to her, as to how she wanted to use it. It has nothing to do with him.

At this moment, he took some of the spices Su Nianwei gave him and was going to the market to ask about the situation.

Fortunately, his uncle asked them to come disguised as a caravan, otherwise, even though this thing was good, he would not dare to take action rashly.

Lin Yuchen was not in a hurry to take action at this time. He first went to a teahouse and ordered a cup of tea and a few snacks. He ate slowly while listening to Mr. Shu's storytelling.

The waiter who served tea was a teenage boy, lean and lean. He looked unfamiliar and kind-hearted. He rolled his eyes and started talking to me.

"Isn't your guest a local from Xuancheng?"

Lin Yucheng looked at him with some surprise. When he was young, he went on a study tour with his elders in the family, and stayed in Xichu for a long time. His speech and accent were exactly the same as those from Xuancheng, and he would not be confused if he mingled among them. Is there any flaw? Unexpectedly, a waiter would recognize it today.

The waiter looked at his searching eyes and hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand me, sir. I'm just looking at you, and if you have such a good demeanor, if you stay in Xuancheng all the time, it's not my fault. My eyes can give you You made it clear!"

After saying that, he was quite proud.

Lin Yuchen also became interested, and happened to see a handsome young master walking in. He wanted to see the waiter's ability, so he said: "You said you can clearly describe the people in Xuancheng." ?”

"Yes, this is my specialty!" The waiter was full of confidence.

"Then tell me, who is the person who just came in?" Lin Yucheng asked.

Following his gaze, the waiter saw the young man who had just come in.

When I saw it, I smiled.

"This, he is one of the young men in Xuancheng." He raised his thumb and then continued.

"Don't talk about me. Even if you pick up anyone on the street, you can recognize this young master. This young master's surname is Yu, his first name is Pingbo, and his given name is Xizhen. He is the dean of our Tongwu Academy in Xuancheng. You Despite his young age, he has already achieved great success. Who in this city wouldn’t call him ‘Dean Yu’ when he sees him?”

"Since you have the reputation of being a civil servant, why not become an official?" Lin Yucheng became interested. Although the world is not very good, with the ability of the dean, he can find a good job no matter what.

"My guest, you don't know something now. Our dean is a filial man. The palace issued three decrees in the past, all of which invited this person to be an official. However, dean Yu has been relying on his support since he was a child. He was raised by his grandmother, and now this old lady is nearly 70 years old, so Dean Yu came to the court to express his love and ask the Holy Spirit to allow him to take care of his grandmother in her old age." The waiter paused and continued pretending to be mysterious.

"It is said that when the Holy One saw Dean Yu's petition, he was moved to tears. He no longer ordered Dean Yu to become an official. He also gave many things as a commendation to Dean Yu."

While speaking, Yu Pingbo turned around and took the tea snacks packed by the waiter. The moment he turned around, Lin Yuchen could see his appearance. Even though he had seen many of the beauties of his aunts at home since he was a child, he also took a breath when he saw Yu Pingbo.

I saw this young master smiling lightly, with clear and bright eyes under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, and a straight bridge of nose adding to his heroic spirit. He was wearing a moon-white robe, with apricot-colored trim exposed inside the robe, and the belt was in the air when he turned around. , the silver embroidery pattern is faintly visible. He wears a jade belt around his waist, matched with colored glaze, holds a jade hairpin in his hair, and holds a fan in his hand, giving him a carefree attitude.

Lin Yuchen felt that the person he saw did not look like a person seeking fame and wealth who had entered the officialdom, but rather like a banished immortal.

At this moment, the banished immortal bought his grandmother's favorite tea and went home to please his grandmother.

Seeing Uncle Yu Ping walking away, Lin Yuchen remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly pulled the waiter and asked:

"Do you know where to buy the best spices in Xuancheng? Spices like pepper."

"Sir, you have asked the right person now. As far as I know, there are many shops selling spices in Xuancheng. But if you are looking for a shop that sells good products, there are only three shops in Xuancheng that are good. They are Liu Jiaxiang Pharmacy. , Xiang Rujiu, Xiangyu Xiangshi. The most famous among them is Xiangyu Xiangshi. The shopkeeper is a widow named Jin Xiangyu. Most of the foreign merchants buy goods in this store." He suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Lin Yu Chao.

Lin Yuchen understood and threw a piece of broken silver to him.

The waiter took it and weighed it in his hand. He estimated that one tael was more than two taels. Knowing that this was a generous master, he wiped it on his clothes and carefully put the silver into his arms. go on:

"Most outsiders come because of the reputation of Xiangyu Xiangshi. In fact, we locals in Xuancheng generally don't go to Xiangyu, but to Liujiaxiang Medicine Store."

"Why is this?" Lin Yuchen asked.

"First of all, shopkeeper Jin is a widow. Secondly..." The waiter looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he came closer and continued:

"Secondly, I heard this from a relative of mine who lives in Mufu, shopkeeper Jin's mother-in-law's family, saying that it belongs to shopkeeper Jin and has some shady origins. Except for merchants who buy and leave, who would want to wait here for trouble to come? Now." After saying that, he lowered his eyes.

"How dare you sell it blatantly if it comes from a shady origin?" Lin Yuchen frowned.

"This is related to the late husband of the original shopkeeper Jin. It is said that the big merchant Mu once had a relationship with the head of Hefeng Village outside the city, and he had some connections with the government, so he was so unscrupulous." At this point, Xiao Xiao Er didn't know what point he hit, and he was filled with indignation.

Lin Yuchen remained calm, paid the bill, packed up the unfinished refreshments, and took away the snacks, preparing to visit these shops in person.

Although the waiter was so angry, he still decided to go to Xiangyu Xiang Room to have a look.

Within a quarter of an hour after leaving the teahouse, I arrived at the Xiangyu Fragrance Room. Before even stepping in, Lin Yuchen smelled a sweet and greasy smell.

He usually didn't like the fragrance, which made him a little uncomfortable and made him retreat.

After walking in, several women came to greet them. The person responsible for entertaining guests in this store was also a woman.

This surprised Lin Yuchen.

He was a little uncomfortable, but he still asked: "Do you have any pepper here?"

The woman in pink clothes who came to receive the reception said with a sweet smile: "What are you talking about, our guest? If there is no pepper in our incense room, how can we say that we are selling spices?"

"What's the quality of your pepper?" he continued.

"What does the guest want this pepper for?" the woman asked Lin Yuchen.

"I don't know what to say?" Lin Yucheng himself is a medical practitioner. He probably knows that there are many varieties of pepper and how to use it, but he just wanted to ask.

"This is..."
