No disaster

At the end of July, a dense rain falls and floats along the wind, like a fog blown by the wind, but if you stand in the fog for a while, your body will be covered in no time. Water stains.

The small caravan carrying silk and satin in a donkey cart was delayed by the heavy rain, so they had to buy wine in the small inn and eat slowly with peanuts and broad beans.

"It's so hot today, if those goods get moldy, we won't make any money this trip."

I don't know who said something.Throwing it into the originally silent lobby caused a burst of sighs.

"If you can find a buyer to buy these goods, regardless of the high price or low price, at least you can not lose money."

Shuwu was saving the teacup, and casually answered, the goods purchased this time are considered average compared to the ones that Jingyun Pavilion usually trades in, not to mention that the quantity is not large, even if it is received, it will not be a small loss.

"Total, how much do we have?"

Everyone talked about the goods they had saved, and there were always fifty bolts of satin, thirty bolts of soft silk, and ten bolts of cloud gauze.Ordinary silk and satin shops can also accept these goods, but they are only merchants, and it is difficult to get acquainted with them.

Wu Wu Wang didn't want to spend too much time here at this time, so he said, "If you trust me, you can make a list, and I'll find someone to buy the goods at once."

"Do you have access?"

He said in vain: "After running in Yunnan for so many years, how can you not even have connections?"

The people discussed for a while, and they were familiar with Shu Wuwang, and those who followed him for two trips also knew his character and believed in him, so they handed in the form, and the rest were also handed in one after another.

At dusk, the rain stopped for a while.Wu Wuwang took an oiled paper umbrella and left the inn.

I haven't entered the village yet, this small town sits on the hillside, with stone houses rising and falling around the hillside, looking from a distance, it has a special charm.

Carry an umbrella and walk along the trail in the town.There is good bacon and wine in this town, and some people can spend half a day with a pot of wine and a plate of meat.

Shangguan Lan happened to be this kind of person.

"Wu Wang, you don't drink alcohol, it's really boring."

Shu Wuwang leaned against the table with an umbrella, lowered his eyes, there was already a cup of bamboo leaf tea in front of him, it was the right time to drink it.And a pair of bowls and chopsticks, a plate of vinegar and soy sauce.

"You've been saying that for nine years."

He took his seat without hesitation, put the cup in his hand, and took a sip.

"Fortunately, you are still willing to eat meat."

Shangguan Lan sliced ​​the bacon on the bamboo plate with a small silver knife, and pushed it in front of Shu Wu Wang.

He picked up the chopsticks and took a slice of bacon without any hesitation. The slice was extremely thin, almost translucent, and the texture and texture could be seen clearly against the light.Dip it in vinegar and soy sauce, eat it in your mouth, the aroma of bacon and vinegar and soy sauce are slightly sour and salty.

"Compared to you, the chefs here are too clumsy with knives."

Shangguan Lan was wiping the blade of the silver knife with a handkerchief, and couldn't help but smile triumphantly after hearing this.

"This piece of meat is thin, and it looks good and delicious, why not do it?"

But without any doubt, he slowly swallowed the meat in his mouth.

"How long do you plan to stay in Yunnan?"

Shangguan Lan drank a full glass of strong wine in one gulp, his cheeks flushed slightly due to the smell of alcohol, "Summer in Yunnan is humid and stuffy, I don't want to stay anymore."

"I've been here for four years, and you've only been here for four months."

Shangguan Lan was taken aback, and said strangely: "The people from Nanzhang have already withdrawn, you still plan to return to Jingyun Pavilion?"

"In another month, the snow pears will be ripe."

"Snow pear?"

"He likes pears."

Shangguan Lan was surprised when he heard this, leaned forward, and asked, "You're here, don't you have any plans?"

Shu Wuwang played with the teacup in his hand, his brows slowly frowned.What flashed in front of his eyes was the side face of the auxiliary political prince before he sat on the case.

"probably……"

Shangguan Lan laughed, "Then I'll stay in Yunnan for a while." After a while, he probed again and asked, "Do you want Jingyun Pavilion to run a pear business route to the south? It also saves you from running around , exposed flaws."

Shuwuwang looked up at Shangguanlan, he said that it was a business for transporting pears, but pears and other goods were probably not the only ones coming and going.However, there's really no downside.

"The dispatcher took the shipment from me."

"You leave the inn with your front foot, and someone will go with your back foot. The boy under your command is very well-behaved."

Shu Wuwang suddenly remembered something, and stared at Shangguan Lan for a while, "Where is Lord Yu?"

Mentioning this incident, Shangguan Lan felt a lump in his heart, "He has returned to the main residence of the Yu family."

Shuwu sighed in vain, "You come every year when the lychees are ripe, you probably forgot that the anniversary of Senior Yu's death is also at that time."

Shangguanlan smiled wryly: "How could I forget...Ache doesn't eat as many lychees as I do every year."

The wind picked up again outside, and the fine and dense rain drifted around with the wind.Shuwuwang poked his head up to look at the sky, and drank the last little tea in the cup.

"The weather is bad, go back early."

Shangguan Lan looked down at the wine cup in his palm, nodded, but did not respond.

Shuwuwang held up the oil-paper umbrella and walked back to the inn along the long street.

The inn was busy, and the merchants who cleared their goods had silver taels in their pockets. They sold wine, weighed meat and bought chickens and ducks. They wanted to celebrate.

It's not unreasonable to ask the merchant to persuade him to drink. He has never liked and was not good at drinking. He greeted and sent him a few drinks, and he went back to the guest room while drunk.

He didn't quite know whether he was drunk or not.Some things should be forgotten clearly, but they are vividly remembered at this moment.

I remember that he said that he wanted to see cranes, and he had thought about it for a long time; I remembered that he was copying the copybook in front of the desk, and he had to ponder every stroke for a long time; He can't ride a horse, and once fell into his arms and cried; I remember that he was not good at bowing, and when he drew a bow for the first time, his whole body was trembling with effort; I remembered the temperature and touch of his fingertips left behind; , Seeing him, he would always bite his lower lip and snigger, not knowing what he was laughing at.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

Shu Wuwang muttered something, and finally fell asleep.

It's raining again, and the wind makes the window paper rustle, probably because of the dampness of the mountain rain, the wind is actually a bit cool.

Shuwuwu rubbed the faintly aching temples after the hangover, opened his eyes, moved a little bit, smelled of alcohol, and put a bag of broken silver by his pillow, his own goods should not be worth such a thing, I'm afraid The merchant thought he was looking for someone to receive the goods, so he gave him money as a thank you.

It's just that after taking a bath and changing clothes, I went to the lobby to look for food. The merchants have already packed up, and I'm afraid I'm ready to go back to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy goods, or go home.

"Boss Su."

As soon as he was seated, a person sat down at his table with a smile and ordered hot porridge and snacks for him.

This man beat him back to Yunnan. He was a businessman who had been partnering with him since he started his business. He was over [-] years old, skinny and dark-skinned. .

Su He resigned from his porridge and said: "Boss Gu, if you have something to say, just say it."

The man rubbed his hands, leaned forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Su has means and ability, I don't know if he can take care of our business in the future? Mr. has many connections, can you tell us to set up a door and go to the hall?"

Su He raised his eyes and glanced, all the merchants in the surrounding area were looking at him, probably pointing to him to find a way to make money in the future.

In normal times, it doesn't matter if you point or not, but right now, he can't take the risk of revealing his identity, and he can't get any influence from Jingyun Pavilion.

"Su Mou will go to Zhaozhou in a few days, and will not go on the same journey with you. Besides, Su Mou can only be regarded as having a small business relationship with the silk and satin factory.

The man thought about it carefully, and felt that what Su He said was indeed reasonable.If he really has a door and a way, how can he still be a businessman today?The man couldn't hide his disappointment, and cupped his hands at Su He, "That's really a pity. I'm bothering Boss Su."

But Wuwu raised his hand in return, and called the waiter to ask for food.

After several days of continuous rain, he finally agreed to stop for a while, so he packed up and set off for Zhaozhou.

Although snowflake pears are good, they have not been stored. No wonder he can only use sour pears even though he owns a whole country.

The rain in Yunnan has stopped.The rain in Nanzhang has not stopped yet.

In this rain, the assistant prince looked at the irises by the pond. The irises had faded early, and only the withered flowers were left hanging on the leaves.The thatched grass next to it is in good spirits.

Su He should have stood here for a long time and looked at it for a long time.I don't know if it is any different from what he saw.

Su He returned to Yunnan, and traveled between Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yunnan, doing silk, satin and embroidery brocade business, which was quite successful.Thinking about it, a person like him should be extremely easy to accomplish.

But now, what happened to Su He, he didn't know.

His father, the courtier, was already suspicious of Su He's identity, not to mention that he was involved in Uncle Wang's treason case.In order to protect Su He's life, he begged his father Wang to allow Su He to be spared with the words "willing to raise a tiger by his side to avoid future troubles".

But he let Su He go after all.

Actually...he had already thought of it.If the father wanted to blame him, he would be collaborating with the enemy and treasoning the country, and he could not escape death.But fortunately, the father just put him under house arrest, and sent a secret sentry to monitor him.

If Su He was innocent, the father would have guessed the inside story of Uncle Wang's treason.If Su He is not innocent, he will also be implicated.

What a gamble... Why would you risk your life to bet that Su He is innocent?
