The father and son of the Xu family were busy with their journey to the north. After Qin Wu came out of the Xu family, he had been thinking about it all the time. He touched a few pieces of fragrant soap and fragrant flower dew in his bosom, gritted his teeth, and decided to go hand in hand. , in case the news is false, he has maintained the team, which can be regarded as a way out. If it is farther away, in case he wins the favor of the distant relatives of the team, it will really skyrocket. As long as there is a serious business that can earn money, even if you don't go to Mozhou, it's okay.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Wu was a little absent-minded when he ran errands every day. Fortunately, he didn't meet any bad-tempered nobles this day, so he was able to go off the errand without even returning home in time, so he went to the team with his things We went to where we lived.

The surname of his team is Yu, he is not young, but he is lazy and doesn't like to go out. If there is nothing important, he will guard his beautiful wife all day long. Qin Wu heard that this beautiful wife is some kind of official. The young lady of the family is extremely beautiful, but the family has been in decline, and she has to be exchanged for money to support the family's younger brother to study, so she has no choice but to marry Yu Duizheng.

Although Qin Wu works under Yu Duizheng's subordinates, he is not close to Yu Duizheng. Before, he was only thinking of currying favor with Duizheng, but he didn't think of anything. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered that Yu Duizheng liked his Xiaojiao so much. Wife, it's better if he disturbs you when you are angry

Thinking about it this way, Qin Wu became a little apprehensive and hesitated, but he was unwilling to go home, so he wandered outside the house like this.

Because Qin Wu didn't go home, he didn't have time to change his patched military uniform, and he was spotted by the Yu family's door after standing for a while. The Yu family's door only thought that he was asking for something from his master, and didn't intend to pay attention to it. But he accidentally saw him take out a piece of fragrant soap in an extremely familiar package from his arms, and immediately widened his eyes.

His wife has been thinking about the fragrant soap since it came out, but the fragrant soap is priceless, so many nobles can't buy it, not to mention a small team in his family who doesn't even buy it, just for this matter Well, his master is worried every day. If he does this job for the master and makes his wife happy, wouldn't the master be happy too, and just give him a monthly increase

Thinking about it this way, the heart of the door became very hot, fearing that the stupid big man at the door would leave if he was a step too late, he hurriedly opened the door, walked out quickly, and said courteously: "This military lord, you are here to look for my team. In the mansion, it’s freezing cold, the military master is afraid of freezing, so he will do some work in the little one’s room first, and the little one will report it right away.”

Hearing the sound of the opening, Qin Wuyan quickly put the fragrant soap into his arms, and just put on a smiling face and wanted to say a few words of flattery, but he was stunned for a while when he heard the doorman say so politely. When he came over, he was dragged into the door repeatedly by the doorman. If Qin Wu hadn't been convinced that this was the mansion of Dui Zheng's mansion, he only thought that he had offended someone and wanted to kill someone to silence him.

Qin Wu was forced to sit down in Menzi's hut, feeling anxious, but the Menzi was elated, and hurriedly told Qin Wu not to leave no matter what, and trotted to the place where the old lady lived. courtyard.

Although Duizheng has a relative who is a concubine in a high official's house, he doesn't have much money in his hands, so apart from him, there is only a cook, a sweeper, and a little girl who serves his wife.

Normally, when the master was at home, several people would hide away, afraid of hearing something they shouldn't hear, if it wasn't for the fact that Menzi was in a hurry to make a contribution today, he wouldn't have dared to come here.

He first listened to the movement at the door for a while, seeing that the door was quiet and there was no subtle sound, so he boldly called through a door, "Master, Master."

The sound was not loud, but it also passed in through the crack of the door, and it continued to yell like a ghost calling the door. After a while, there was movement in the room, and there was a crisp sound like something hitting the ground, and then there was a shout. Scolding: "Which thing that doesn't have eyes, what's the name of the ghost, I didn't see that the master and wife were sleeping, and still didn't roll down."

Different from his wife, his team is just a big and thick man, his arms are thicker than his legs, and they are long and fierce. Usually, his legs feel weak at a glance, not to mention being scolded, and the door is frightened. Cold sweat broke out , So Xuan did not kneel on the ground, it took a long time to muster up the courage again, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Master Qi, there is a military master outside the door asking to see, the young one seems to be in the master's team."

Menzi was afraid that his family team was coming out to beat him, so he hurriedly said, "The military master has a stick of incense in his arms, as if he has something to ask the master, the master wants to see you."

When the door first opened, there were still impatient voices inside the door, but when he uttered the words "Xiang Jianzi", there was a sudden silence, followed by a series of hurried footsteps, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and a vicious picture appeared. The face, the eyes were as big as copper bells, with such a stare, the courage that Menzi had just summoned up suddenly dissipated, and stammered: "Master."

Yu Duizheng was wearing a snow-white tunic and a gown over his body. He walked up to him in a few steps, stretched out his hand and easily pulled his door to his eyes, and asked, "Is this true?"

Menzi was so frightened by Yu Duizheng that he felt like urinating, nodded desperately and said: "Seriously, I saw it with my own eyes, the round piece is wrapped in silk, it is the fragrant soap that is only sold in Cui's shop. "

Yu Duizheng still doesn't want to believe it. After all, he doesn't know who is under his command. He is so poor that he can't even invite him for a drink. How can he afford such a heavy gift? Just look at the doorman's swearing appearance , or let go of the half-doubting hand, wrapped the clothes on his body indiscriminately, and went to the inner hall.

Menzi saw that Yu Dui was leaving, and he was still heading towards the inner hall, so how could he not know that his opportunity had come, so he hurriedly ran towards the gate with all his strength, and before he could say anything, he dragged the honest man out of breath. Qin Wu who is actually sitting.

Qin Wu's day was extremely muddled. He thought that it would take a lot of effort to see the team leader, but he never thought that before he came up with a regulation at the door, someone opened the door for him on his own initiative. With such a courteous attitude, he was forced to invite him in. Judging by his appearance at this time, he also wanted to take him to meet the captain. Qin Wu was both excited and a little inexplicable. How could things suddenly go so smoothly? It seems that since he met the merchant last night, his luck has improved.

Qin Wu met his Shangguan Yu Duizheng in the inner hall of his house. He knew that his Shangguan had a bad temper, and he didn't dare to flatter and seek relationships. He took out a piece of fragrant soap and fragrant flower dew, handed them over carefully, and said courteously: "My lord, these were obtained by a merchant who came from Yimozhou yesterday, and that merchant also He is a smart man who knows how to be filial to His Majesty, so he specially entrusted an official to send it to His Majesty."

What is filial piety to him? I have to do it myself. I'm afraid there is still something to ask for. Yu Duizheng knows it well, but he doesn't expose it. He is obviously very happy in his heart, but his face is dark as usual, and his actions are careful He took the things and didn't dare to play with them, so he just put them in the middle of the table, and said indifferently: "You and I are both vulgar people, and I don't know a few big characters, so don't come here like a literati, let's get straight to the point, what will you do?" What is the officer asking me to do with such a heavy ceremony?"

Yu Dui is just impatient, and Qin Wu doesn't like to procrastinate. Since Yu Duizheng said so, he said straightforwardly: "This official has something important to do, and I want to ask for a month's leave. , I don’t have any money in my hand, I want to borrow some money from the team, and I also heard some news from the merchant, and told the team.”

Before Qin Wu came, he had calculated that it was thousands of miles from Luoyang to Mozhou. If he followed the normal pace, he would have to walk for a month or two. Although I have suffered some hardships, it takes about half a month. After I go to the local area to find out clearly and then come back, it takes about a month or so.

At that time, he will bring one-third of the borrowed money with him, and keep two-thirds at home, and entrust the Xu family to take care of it, so that he can avoid any worries. I bought a piece of fragrant soap and a bottle of fragrant flower water, and carefully found a rich family to sell it, which was enough for him and the family.

After Qin Wu finished speaking, Yu Duizheng did not agree immediately, but looked at Qin Wu with a pair of probing eyes for a while, then remained silent for a moment, and then said: "It's easy to talk about asking for leave and borrowing money, you first share the news you heard with me The official said, I will see if I agree or not."

Qin Wu hurriedly said: "The lower official got the news from that merchant, and I don't know if it's true or not. According to the merchant, King Shun of Mozhou is going to build some kind of chamber of commerce and patent department in the near future, and also sell fragrant pancreas. The prescription of Zixiang Hualu, and the fairy glaze, are also for sale."

Yu Duzheng just received the gift from Qin Wu and was able to live steadily. When he heard the news, his mood suddenly became flustered, and his breathing became a lot heavier. He couldn't help asking: "Is this true?"

Qin Wudao: "The merchant said this news, I don't know whether it is true or not, but the merchant looks honest, I'm afraid it is true."

Yu Duizheng couldn't even sit still right now, so he got up and started pacing in the inner hall, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he was planning, so he turned around after a while and stared at Qin Wudao: "Then The merchant is still in the city, do you know where he is staying?"

Qin Wudao: "It's still there, in the Fulai Inn not far from the North City Gate."

Yu Duizheng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Then you take a few brothers to invite people here, and I will ask you personally. If the news is true, I will not only grant you a lie, but also don't have to pay back the money you borrowed." , I will reward you as my official."

The expected thing came true, Qin Wu immediately smiled, and with confidence in his heart, he hurriedly clapped his hands in agreement, turned around and ran out.

Zhang Hu didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He just flattered the idiot guarding the city with a few words at the gate of the city, and acted out another scene. In just a few days, the news that His Royal Highness King Shun wanted to recruit workers was over. It spread throughout Yangzhou, and even the news that the seller wanted to sell the son was also known by various news from the big households. Since yesterday, there have been no interruptions in the number of people coming in and out of his door. It is either the steward of some aristocratic family or a big merchant. The shopkeeper was so busy that he was dizzy, and the people who accompanied him were also very busy, but the effect was obvious. On the seventh day after he entered Luoyang City, impatient people packed up their bags and went on the road. There are many people who are well-off when they look in a carriage.

It was also from that day that Zhang Hu developed the habit of going to the North City Gate to look at it for an hour every day as soon as the city gate opened.

That day, he came back from the north city gate as usual, before he entered the inn, he was stopped by the recruit who came with him outside the gate. The recruit usually smiled, but now he was downcast, as if he was about to face a catastrophe. Like him, as soon as he saw him, he came up to him, and said anxiously: "The shopkeeper is in trouble, and people from the Cui family have come to the door."

"The Cui family" Zhang Hu looked puzzled, "Which Cui family is a big merchant in Luoyang City?"

The recruit's face was flushed, and he said: "Who else is the Cui family, that is, the Cui family who bought the rare things made by His Royal Highness in Luoyang City."
