Chapter 13] The Old Man of the Shanzhai Business Tea House

【Chapter 13】The Old Man of the Shanzhai Business Tea House

Not surprisingly, after Xiao Yuan saw Hua Jieyu, she entertained the four of them with delicious food and drinks.Yang Shun performed the ceremony of the Great Liao Dynasty, and introduced himself as Lu Shun, a fur trader in Lujiazhuang, beside him were his brother Lu Feng, Lu Ge, the accountant, and his sister Hua Niang accompanied the merchants.During the dinner, Xiao Yuan kept talking to Hua Jieyu, showing her love for her undoubtedly in her eyes.

After three glasses of wine, Hua Jieyu looked at Yang Shun's eyes, lowered his head and said with a smile, "I don't know if the owner of the village needs the whole fur. My brothers and sisters made a bet with my father that we will be able to sell the fur. There is nothing we can do about it." People are willing to accept it, and now it’s embarrassing to go back like this.”

Xiao Yuan took the fur from her subordinates, nodded and said, "It's indeed a good product, but we just bought a batch, and we don't need it right now."

A look of disappointment slipped across Hua Jieyu's face, he lowered his head and drank a glass of wine alone, without looking at Xiao Yuan any more.Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuan moved her eyes left and right, and said with a smile, "I don't need it here, but my brother does."

Hua Jieyu looked up in surprise, "Is the brother of the village master here?"

"My brother is the Rong family on the top of Muye Hill, you can sell him the things." Xiao Yuan pointed to the distance, "He just needs it."

"Just." Hua Jieyu looked at Yang Shun hesitantly, and Xiao Yuan also looked at him.

Yang Shun said helplessly: "I heard that the Rong family will not buy and sell with others at will. If we go up the mountain so recklessly, it will inevitably cause his dissatisfaction. I also thought about asking him to do this business, but he is different from the owner of Xiaozhai, and he is not easy to talk to. People, after thinking about it, they will give up."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yuan raised her hand, and the young man at the side handed over a wooden signboard with the crimson Liao character 'Xiao' engraved on it, "You take my signboard and say it was recommended by me. Yes, the Rong family will naturally trade with you."

"Thank you, the village master." Everyone bowed their hands, and Hua Jieyu got up to take it understandingly. When he approached Xiao Yuan, he looked very happy. After inviting everyone to have another drink, he seemed to think of something, and added: "Just, these days , My brother was attacked by bandits in the mountain, and the security is a little stricter, if you go, you can go alone."

Qin Xue looked at Yang Shun, stood up and said, "We have quite a lot of goods, and it's really inconvenient for one person to take them up the mountain. Why don't we let my housekeeper and Hua Niang stay in the village, and my brother and I will go together. What's the village's idea?"

When she heard that Hua Jieyu would stay, Xiao Yuan was naturally happy, nodded and said, "Okay, just the two of you."

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Shun and Qin Xue regained their foothold at the foot of the mountain and walked towards Rong's cottage.It was quite easy along the way, and there were no barriers, which is really surprising.In the distance, a bird fluttered its wings suddenly, and the two looked at each other to understand that there was a hidden person.Walking halfway up the mountain, two mountain patrollers finally ushered in. After seeing the wooden signs in their hands, they led them into the cottage.

The village is heavily guarded, and there are guards in every house and every road. Qin Xue looked around carefully and found that it was impossible to move freely in the village even at night.The two of them walked to the main hall, with Mrs. Rong sitting in the main seat, surrounded by four other masters, all from the Liao Dynasty.Qin Xue understood that these people must be from Yelumu, and the purpose was to keep looking at Rong's family to let him know that he was in the land of the Liao people and understood the principle of being a hero by knowing the current affairs.

Mrs. Rong is a tall man with a fierce look on his face. It can be seen from his appearance that he is not a kind person.He picked up a piece of fur and looked at it carefully, and found that it felt good, then looked at the wooden sign brought by the two of them, nodded and said: "The things are good, let's put the ones brought here first, how long will the rest be?" to get there?"

Yang Shun pretended to be happy, and replied: "Within four days, it will be delivered by the king."

"Okay." Rong motioned to the boy beside him to hand over the deposit, "When the goods are ready, the rest of the money will be paid up. Four days later, my people will be waiting for the goods at the foot of the mountain, and you two will be able to go up the mountain." , everyone else has to wait."

"Yes." The two were brought out from the main hall by the person who led up the mountain just now, Yang Shun looked around, looking for possible loopholes, but stayed too short, did not notice the weakness of the village, had to be watched down the mountain and left.

In Xiao's stockade, Xiao Yuan heard that the four of them still had to stay for four days to wait for the goods, and she was overjoyed, so she invited Hua Jieyu to accompany her for dinner.According to Yang Shun's intention, they didn't have enough furs to sell to the Rong family, so they had to go to the market in Qiu Muye to buy some bulk goods. You may not be able to find the best ones, and there should be many who make up the number.

The fur they showed Rong today was not the best among them. They wanted to test whether Rong paid more attention to the quality of the fur or the wooden sign Xiao Yuan gave. From the results, it can be seen that the wooden sign is more Important, the quality of the goods is second.

It was inevitable that Xiao Yuan got tired of Hua Jieyu, and the "beauty trick" would no longer work in the future, so Yang Shun tried to bring Hua Jieyu out together, and went to the market in Qiu Muye to look for furs.There are quite a lot of Liao people on the road, and there are also many people from the Song Dynasty interspersed among them. From the lives of the people, it cannot be seen that the two countries are at war, but there is a peaceful atmosphere.What's more, the things that the Song Dynasty has are always in short supply in the Daliao. These Song people come to sell goods to meet the urgent needs of the people in the Daliao, so naturally they will not be stopped.

The patrols occasionally walked through the market, watching suspicious people everywhere, and the four of them walked the streets with extra care, wearing Liao clothes, shoes and hats, which was not too abrupt.

Walking to a tea house, Yang Shun suggested that everyone rest their feet, and suddenly heard a commotion behind them, several Daliao women followed a man closely, their eyes were full of admiration and love.The four of them followed the sound, and Yelvmu walked slowly from far to near, and the guards around him carefully protected him, preventing the crowded women from colliding with him.

Qin Xue turned around abruptly, hugged the person in front of her, and let him cover herself completely.Yang Shun's body froze, as if he didn't expect that, after a long time, he slowly wrapped her in his arms.Sensing the strength of the person in front of her, Qin Xue raised her head slightly, and was startled when she saw that face that looked like a smile but not a smile. She pushed him away and hugged Hua Jieyu behind her.

Hua Jieyu was not surprised, and hugged her very cooperatively. Yang Shun approached the two of them and patted her on the shoulder, as if to comfort the two who were saying goodbye.Zoge didn't know why, so he followed Yang Shun's line of sight and stood beside him, covering Qin Xue.Yelumu didn't care, walked past the four of them, and accidentally glanced at one of the people in the teahouse, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, he hurriedly hid it, and left with a serious face.

After everyone walked away, Qin Xue slowly let go of Hua Jieyu in front of her, and smiled awkwardly at her, "I'm offended."

"If someone as handsome as you often offends me, I'd be more than happy." Hua Jieyu smiled lightly, looking at Yang Shun with a puzzled face, hiding the smile in his eyes.

"Do you want to explain the scene just now?" Yang Shun looked at Qin Xue, who was still in panic, with complicated expressions in his eyes.

"I can only say that I met someone who would hurt me, and I don't want him to see me here." Qin Xue slowly lowered her head and stopped talking.

Yang Shun stared at her for a long time, and told Hua Jieyu, "You two wait here, and Zuoge and I will look forward." After speaking, he cast an unclear look at Qin Xue, and led Zuoge Greg moved on.

"The third son told you, right?" After Yang Shun walked away, Qin Xue looked at Hua Jieyu.

"Yes." Hua Jieyu made no secrets: "I am a woman, and I can tell the difference between you at a glance. Unlike those men in the army, each of them only cares about fighting and doesn't pay attention to these details at all. But the military division Unlike other people, he has a delicate mind. Your appearance must not escape his eyes, so I went to ask him. I learned from him that you are from Xunguzhuang, Qin Xue who they lost in Daliao. "

"Thank you." For some reason, Qin Xue suddenly felt very close to the woman in front of her, as if hoping that she would know her identity.Qin Xue understands that Hua Jieyu is a kind woman, even if she knows her identity, she will protect herself and will not talk nonsense to others.Qin Xue embraced her again, much tighter than before, expressing her gratitude to her in her tight hug.

Hua Jieyu patted her on the back and said softly, "Go to the tea house first, someone is waiting for you."

Qin Xue listened to her guidance and looked towards the tea house. In the most inconspicuous corner, sat the familiar person, who was also looking at herself at the moment.Qin Xue slowly let go of her words, still staring at Yeluquan with bright eyes, and didn't intend to leave.

"I'll help you watch outside." Hua Jieyu gently pushed her, "I also know what you know Yeluquan, and I won't tell it."

The teahouse had just brewed a new pot of tea, and the waiter waiter filled the steaming tea for Yeluquan and left respectfully.Qin Xue had already stood beside him and did not intend to sit down.It's not that I don't want to, but I'm not used to it.During those days when they were slaves to Yeluquan, the two seldom sat together, Yeluquan always sat and she stood.Now, she is free, but when she meets Yeluquan, she always forgets that she is free.

Yeluquan stopped looking at her, picked up the lid of the cup and flicked the floating tea leaves. After a long time, he said calmly: "If you like people who kill tigers in front of you, I can take you to hunt tigers now."

"What?" Qin Xue stared at the man with a slightly cold face, not knowing why, and then remembered the scene of holding Yang Shun just now, her heart fluttered, and she wanted to explain something to the person in front of her, but she felt that it would be better not to speak.Unexpectedly, this person wanted her to explain, the more she explained, the more she would prove that she cared about herself.However, the woman in front of her just stood there and didn't answer.

Yeluquan handed her a cup of tea, and before he had time to signal her to sit with him, he heard her cold voice, "When I was in Daliao, there was never a happy day, even if I was guarded and protected by you, I would never be happy." hapiness."

Yeluquan's hand paused, and he raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were icy cold, as if countless sharp knives were hidden in his eyes, making people fearful.Qin Xue took a deep breath, took a step back, and was suddenly grabbed by him and pulled towards her, stopping at a very close distance from him.The hand was strong enough to hurt her wrist, but she gritted her teeth and resisted it.

Qin Xue managed to force a smile, and continued: "Although I'm not happy, I feel indispensable. If I don't remember a day, I will be very sad. This kind of thinking made me feel ashamed for a while, and I felt sorry for someone in my heart. , he died at your hands, but I fell in love with a person here."

Yeluquan looked at her in surprise, the coldness in his eyes turned soft, as if he didn't hear clearly, he pulled her closer again, already clinging to his body, his hands were stronger, as if he was pulling her like this, She will always be her own and will never escape.

"What do you want to say?" It was a very happy moment, but he asked such a question, because she felt that although the person in front of her said touching words, there was a burst of coldness in his eyes.

The tea house was already empty, with occasional passers-by passing by, Hua Jieyu observed the movement around him, and did not look inside.

Qin Xue gently pushed Yeluquan's hand, and said calmly: "Quan, in fact, you understand that we will never be able to. Before I was your slave, we were impossible. Now, I am your enemy, and we are even more impossible. There are some things that I can't go back." She suddenly said emotionally: "Don't stand up, if you do, I won't dare to say it."

Yeluquan sat down slowly, staring at her who was a little anxious, holding her wrist all the time, the look in his eyes was something Qin Xue had never seen on his face, a little scared, it turned out to be scared.

"Let's just have a peaceful chat this time, okay? I'm not angry, and you shouldn't be angry either. We quarrel every time, and there's never a single memory where we talk nicely." Qin Xue slowly squatted in front of him, still unrepentant. Thinking about sitting down, the voice softened a lot, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but we all made choices, and it won't be the same choice, right?"

Yeluquan didn't speak all the time, not even angry words, but just quietly held her tightly, as if she would disappear from his hand if he didn't pay attention, just like the light tea smoke in front of him, he couldn't catch her anymore.

Qin Xue picked up the tea he poured for herself, looked at the tea roots that were still swirling, and said with a slight smile: "This cup of tea is all my gratitude to you for your care for many years. I know that this thank you gift is too light. I will pay you back with my life."

Yeluquan sneered, and finally had the expression he should have on his face, and stared at the woman in front of him with cold eyes, "I don't want your life, if you really want to get rid of me, then you can pay me back with something. Bar."

"What?" Qin Xue didn't know whether she was excited or disappointed at the moment, there was always an inexplicable emotion pulling her body and pulling her unsteady mind.

"Your body."
