Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

After all the work was done, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Ling Qingyu stood up, thinking about walking around to loosen his muscles, when he heard a servant outside shouting: Master, Master, someone seems to be coming outside.

Ling Qingyu was stunned, and sure enough he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. Although this yard was on the edge of the West Lake, it was also remote. There were no people nearby. Who could come here at this time.

The main hall was very close to the gate, so Ling Qingyu simply walked towards the gate.

At this time, the sun was already slightly tilted, but the sunlight was just right.

When Ling Qingyu walked out of the door, the sun was shining slantingly, dyeing the slowly approaching group of people golden.

The group of more than ten people rode on tall horses and wore silver armor. They looked majestic and came slowly under the sun.

Ling Qingyu felt that her breathing had stopped for a moment. She had known that they were iron-blooded warriors and had seen them kill so ruthlessly many times. However, fighting in linen clothes and shorts looked more like bandits, right?

But now, those tall and tall figures in armor, the coldness that cannot be warmed by the sun, the evil spirit and fierce momentum all over their bodies, are all shouting, they are a group of men who came out from thousands of armies.

Yang Zhao jumped off the horse, took off his helmet, looked at Ling Qingyu's dull look, waved his fingers in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: We are back.

Ah? Ling Qingyu rolled his eyes and turned a thousand words into one sentence, saying: Aren't you hot in what you wear?

Hahaha, I said the boss would definitely say that! Come on, give me money! Li Yan laughed, took off his helmet, and jumped off the horse.

Yang Zhao took Ling Qingyu's hand and walked inside very naturally. He smiled and said, Yes, it's so hot. Please be kind enough to prepare a bathing place for us.

Ling Qingyu's small courtyard suddenly became lively.

After closing the courtyard door, the men took off their armor and clothes, took water directly from the well, and took a shower in the courtyard.

Hearing the noise outside, Ling Qingyu slowly regained his feeling, as if he had finally landed on the ground, and the yard had a real sense of reality at this time.

Don't you need to go to the north right away? Ling Qingyu asked Yang Zhao, who had just walked into the house with water still dripping from his body.

Well, we'll set off in five days. Yang Zhao sat next to Ling Qingyu and said, I want to accompany you to Wu County and offer incense to your parents.

Ling Qingyu's eyes were slightly hot, and he pointed at the armor that looked very beautiful and valuable on the table and said, Why are you wearing this? It's such a hot day?

There is no other way. I went to the Jiedushi Yamen to receive the order. These were rewarded by the emperor, so I had to change them on the spot. Yang Zhao lay down on the bed and said, I was forced to swim down the street. It was so hot that I almost felt sick. I can't stand it anymore. These words were naturally meant to tease Ling Qingyu. The Heishui Pass where they were located could freeze to death in winter and heat to death in summer. But when fighting a war, it doesn't matter whether you live in winter or summer. Once the war breaks out, it will last for several days and nights. It is very common to not take off your armor. They have long been accustomed to heat and cold.

Ling Qingyu was indeed heartbroken. She touched his body and said, I asked Shi Fang to prepare some prickly heat powder or something. Isn't this a torment?

As soon as she touched it twice, she saw Yang Zhao blinking his eyes and secretly screaming, and sure enough, he saw a tent set up underneath. He said hurriedly: Not now, we have a social event later. The shopkeeper of the Xiao family has made an appointment to meet at Zuixian Tower. I want to sell some goods.

I'll go with you. Yang Zhao pulled her down, held her in his arms, and said, Let me sleep for a while, and I'll go with you. Zhao Pu entertained them at noon today, and he heard during the dinner The current head of the Xiao family is seriously ill and his son is young. The Xiao family's property is now being watched by many people. If you trade with them, you must be careful.

Well, I'll call you later. You go to sleep first, and I'll go out and take a look. After getting out of Yang Zhao's arms, seeing that he had fallen asleep, Ling Qingyu quietly opened the door and walked out.

Everyone outside had finished washing and found beds to sleep under Yan San's arrangement. Only Meng Su was sitting under the tree in the yard.

Meng Su, why don't you go and have a rest? That armor must weigh several dozen kilograms. If you wear this for a day and then go out to parade, it will be very tiring.

Fortunately, I'm not tired. Meng Su said with a smile, his big eyes flashing.

Hey, I didn't expect that at such a young age, you are also a captain. Ling Qingyu stood next to him and sighed.

I just happened to get the credit, the general is the most powerful. Meng Su looked sideways at Ling Qingyu and said with a smile.

Can’t you not go? How about we go to sea together? These words ran through my mind many times, but I couldn't say them out, not to Yang Zhao, nor to the childish young man in front of me. Ling Qingyu was very frustrated.

If Heishui Pass cannot be defended, the Dangxiang and Liao people will invade in large numbers. By then, Jiangnan may not be able to escape the war. Meng Su said softly, then turned to look at the scenery in the yard and said with a smile: This place is really nice for the master. If Su Neng survives after defeating them, can he be a servant for the master here?

Nonsense! How can such a young person talk about life and death so lightly! Ling Qingyu rubbed his head and said, You all have to live for me and come back alive. My, Ling Qingyu's, home is your home, and the door is always open.

The woman holding him from behind was suppressing her sadness on top of his head. The tears that he couldn't cry burned his heart. Meng Su smiled and looked at every scene in the yard. He must remember it, so it doesn't matter. No matter where you are, you can find your way back and your way home.

In the evening, Yang Zhao and He Li changed into regular clothes and followed Ling Qing Yu Yan San to Zuixian Tower for dinner. Several other people went to help Su Hexiang clear the goods.

Xiao Rong arranged the elegant room at the corner as usual, but this time the screen in the middle was moved away and a large round table was placed in the middle.

Yan San stood guard at the door, while Yang Zhao and He Li sat next to Ling Qingyu on the left and right.

Xiao Rong wiped his sweat. The famous General Yang and Lieutenant He, whom he had just seen in the afternoon, appeared here so carelessly, and even sat with them very naturally. Master Ling! Can you tell me what this old man is doing?

However, Xiao Rong didn't dare to ask. He and the others here are all veterans. Originally, they were all shopkeepers of various businesses. It would be of equal status to discuss business with Ling Qingyu, a merchant, but there are two officials sitting at this table. , he is still a military attache, and he is still the most popular military attache recently, but he is now half shorter.

As a modern person, classmate Ling Qingyu, who still doesn't understand the official positions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, didn't realize this at all. In modern times, isn't it the most normal thing for businessmen and officials to have dinner together?

Hello everyone, I am Ling Qingyu from the Ling Family Boat Company. Seeing that Xiao Rong was still refusing to introduce him, Ling Qingyu simply went in on his own.

Headmaster Ling is good, Mr. Ling is good. Several shopkeepers said hurriedly, sweating in private.

This is Murong Mingming, the chief shopkeeper of the Murong family. This is Mo Yan, the chief shopkeeper of the Mo family. This is Fang Di, the chief shopkeeper of the Shu family. This is Tong Hao, the chief shopkeeper of the Tong family in Qingzhou. Xiao Rong finally said. Thinking of his responsibilities, he introduced.

Look up for a long time, look up for a long time, look up for a long time, look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Every time Xiao Rong introduced someone, Ling Qingyu smiled and looked up for a long time, so long that Xiao Rong secretly said in his heart, if you look up for a long time, you will never know.

The Murong family has been operating in Jiangnan. Half of the shops in Suzhou are owned by his family. The Mo family is a big family in Hangzhou. The Fang family has been doing business in Shu spices and Shu brocade. The Tong family in Qingzhou has opened shops all over Jingdong Road and Lingzhou. If our five families can't eat your goods, let alone other families. Xiao Rong said with a smile. Then, with a twitching look from the corner of his eye, he looked at the dishes that General Yang had given to Head Ling.

This is the best. If we can form a good supply and demand relationship, it will be much easier for me. Ling Qingyu said as he ate, making no mistake.

I heard that Master Ling's family has pepper here. I want it urgently. I am willing to pay twenty taels of silver per catty. I wonder how much Master Ling's family can sell it to me? Fang Di was the first to take action.

I have 100,000 jins of pepper for sale, but shopkeeper Fang, I have also asked about the market price. Now pepper in Hangzhou is already four taels of silver per tael. If you offer 20 taels of silver per catty, don't you think it's too cheap?

You must leave some profit for us. If Master Ling is willing to sell all the pepper to me, I can add another two taels. Fang Di said with a smile.

Seeing that the two evil spirits didn't speak at all, the shopkeepers slowly let go and started talking about business, but no one dared to propose a toast. The negotiation process was very harmonious.

After a round of negotiations, one-third of the bulk cargo on the ship was finalized, with a total price of 3.8 million taels.

When the shopkeepers saw that the matter was settled, they said goodbye and went out. When they walked out of Zuixian Tower, they felt that their vests were soaked through. The two people didn't say a word to them from beginning to end, but every time they made a small move, they would receive those cold looks, which was really frightening.

After Xiao Rong said goodbye to a few people, he looked up upstairs and saw Yang Zhao leaning against the window, watching coldly. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. When he introduced Ling Qingyu, he was talking about the big shopkeepers of each family. In fact, where is the big shopkeeper? The shopkeeper is just the shopkeeper of Hangzhou Mansion. However, Ling Qingyu does not suffer from the price and quantity negotiated now. Xiao Rong feels that it is worthy of his conscience and secretly thought to himself, if you can always be her backer in the future, maybe the head of the Ling family will It's easier to do, but it still requires your life to come back.

Such a big shopkeeper? He Li sneered and said.

I'm just the shopkeeper of Hangzhou Prefecture, but it doesn't matter. Our business is successful, and the price has exceeded my estimate. Ling Qingyu said with a smile: Our goods this time are too valuable. If someone is interested, There are also constant troubles, so shopkeeper Xiao has done me a big favor.

Go back, we have to deliver the goods tomorrow. Ling Qingyu stood up and said.

After coming out of the restaurant, the street was full of lights, people were looking at each other, and various stalls were busy.

Ling Qingyu looked sideways at Yang Zhao, then turned in the faces of Yan San and He Li, and walked leisurely towards the long street.

Yang Zhao took a step forward and followed her half a step away. Yan San shook his head, picked up a food box from the carriage, and followed leisurely with He Li.

The night breeze is blowing gently, the starry sky is clear, and there are a lot of people around.

A few people just walked and looked at each other, leisurely and leisurely, not stopping at any stalls, walking through the long street like a leisurely stroll.

When we walked back to Wanyu Garden, the night was already very deep. A row of lanterns was lit at the door. Zi Su and the woman named Jin Lan were waiting at the door, looking anxious.
