In the Beijing Inn.

"...How could this be the case!?"

Xu Huan looked at the box that was supposed to be protected by layers of protection with an extremely ugly face, but now the most important item is missing!Just now he had called all the people accompanying him to question carefully, and carefully screened the candidates who had been in contact with the carriage!Very good, he took precautions against everything, but he didn't guard against the nursing home who had followed him for many years!

And the most important piece of goods was the Yu Guangshan summer tea that he had searched for for a long time and selected after thousands of choices!

It has to be said that in recent years, the Xu family's royal business card has a bright future, but it is actually in danger.A few years ago, Xu Xun, Xu Huan's father, who was the head of the Xu family, passed away, and Xu Huan's two uncles fought for a long time. In the end, both of them were hurt, and no one was better off. Then the grandmother spoke, Let him, the younger generation, take over the head.

But this time, it was discovered that they had not successfully paid tribute for more than two years. If they failed for three consecutive years, their own right to pay tribute would be deprived.For the Huangshang brand, if they lost this privilege, they would be nothing more than a merchant with a name but no real power, and all kinds of advantages would plummet!

Therefore, if the tribute can be successfully paid this year, the pressure on Xu Huan's shoulders will be relieved a lot, and it will also greatly help the family's control and voice.

However, he has tried his best to keep it secret and protect it. Xia Cha, who moved into the carriage at the last moment, was still taken away by someone just before departure!

Even the good-tempered Xu Huan couldn't help but slapped the table angrily, "After years of training, he turned out to be a white-eyed wolf!! It's really hateful!! Check him out for me later, and we must catch the person behind it, even if I really miss this time!" Opportunities don’t let things go unnoticed.”

The second-in-command next to Xu Huan, Ming Butler, responded with a heavy expression, but he had to remind, "But young master, we have already reported this tribute to the imperial examiner, what should we do now? As long as we report, There must be something to pay tribute to, otherwise no one can afford the charge of teasing an official."

Xu Huan sighed heavily, "Of course the stuff has to be handed over, but can it be delayed for a few more days? It's not far from here by car from Sioux City, and people can rush back to move the goods in my room. They can find the top of the stuff." For this tribute payment, he searched for a lot of items before, some of which are still in his room now.

Steward Ming hesitated for a while, and then said, "Young Master, I will tell you nothing. When negotiating with Chen Shiguan earlier, I always felt that he was hostile to our Xu family. Chen examiner will not agree to your request. The young master had better make second-hand preparations."

There are so many merchants who want to pay tribute, and if one is squeezed out, another will be selected.This kind of buying is not uncommon.Xu Huan's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but thumped the table again. At this time, his sight just happened to see the boxes placed in the corner of the room.

It is the exquisitely packaged fruit gift box from Yang Dalang's family.This time Xu Huan specially went to get a few boxes from someone, all of which were newly shipped from Miaojia Village, so it was just right to give them away as a favor.He didn't buy more because he had to keep it for Yang Dalang to distribute in Sioux City.According to them, these are promotional samples.

Xu Huan paused and pointed to the box. "You bring that box of fruit and open it, let me have a look."

Butler Ming was taken aback, and immediately understood Xu Huan's thoughts. After doing as he said, he hesitated, "Master, is he going to give this fruit? But, there are very few tribute fruits that people are looking for." Fruits are good or bad. It is easy to have a drop in quality, and it is not easy to pass the test.Even if you pass the examiner's level, if the subsequent batches are not of the same standard, you will be recorded as a failure.

Xu Huan sighed, "Then tell me, is there any other way? Besides, I have to go outside to find something to put on top of it temporarily. I believe everyone in the streets and alleys will know that there is something wrong with the Xu family's tribute."

Hearing the words, Butler Ming could only sigh heavily.

However, when I opened the box, I saw that there were still fresh and juicy fruits inside; there were exactly three peaches, three persimmons and three pears, with colorful colors and pleasing numbers. Fragrance, it's really hard to see that it's a temporary top.

"Very good. Just give it away."

-

Before and after Xu Huan from the capital stepped on the trap, he was far away from his wife in Miaojia Village, so he guarded well.

Because Xiang Zhen went to work at Miao He's house every day, and Miao He refused single girls to come and work, Xu Wan had no choice but to go to the town or a nearby county to pass the time and wait for others to finish their work.Miao Duan'er followed Xu Wan stubbornly, and she was familiar with the local area, so she became Xu Wan's good playmate.

Especially the flower-and-bird skirts and pearls and flowers that Xu Wan brought, really made Miao Duan'er look at them warmly, waiting for someone to take her out every day.The dress is also becoming more and more fancy and gaudy.For this peasant girl who put all her thoughts on her face, Xu Wan was joking and contemptuous in her heart, but she had a sweet mouth and praised this and that all day long, and Xu Wan was happy to hear it.I am more willing to treat people and run around.

On this day, they came to the most famous Yangshui Tea House in the town.Miao Duan'er was already used to introducing and leading the way, so when she entered the teahouse, she said in a haughty manner, "Give us a room of Tianzi size. Have a meal."

Miao Duan'er is not a maidservant, a real maidservant is following behind Xu Wan, so speaking like that is a bit nondescript.But she didn't realize it herself, she just felt that the treatment of people bowing down respectfully wherever she went was what she wanted in the future.

After giving orders, Miao Duan'er turned his head, and said thoughtfully, "The dishes here are expensive, but the dishes are not as novel as that of Dahe Restaurant, and the decoration is also old-fashioned. It is not as festive and lively as the people. I heard that the owner has a county background behind him. There are only so many people here. Sister Wan'er, you will feel wronged today."

Waiting for the time to be seated, Xu Wan looked around critically, thinking in her heart that this place is more elegant than the Dahe Restaurant she went to a few days ago, but she heard Miao Duan'er's voice suddenly sharp, "You, why are you here!?"

The person Miao Duan'er pointed at was her ex-sister-in-law Min Chun.I saw that the person was wearing a light brown satin robe, clean and resembling a human being.Thinking that all the good clothes are the money dug from his own family, his mouth is so thin.

"You are an unruly brother who has been divorced, why are you still unrepentant and showing your face everywhere!?"

Min Chun sneered, none of the Miao family is good, this Miao Duaner is the stupidest one, and he also has a grudge against him, "Ms. Miao can come, why can't I. I am spending my own money to eat, Ms. Miao ... Is this the job of finding a maidservant, it is suitable."

"You!?" Miao Duan'er couldn't help but blush, but Xu Wan looked surprised, and said to a young master who was following Min Chun, "Master Luo San? Why are you here too?"

Luo Zijun, who is called the third son of Luo, has fairly regular features, is tall and thin, and is dressed in a moon-white robe with a jade pendant and tassels on his waist. He looks like a rich man. Miss Xu, it's a coincidence."

When Xu Wan rolled her eyes, she almost guessed the intention of the person.His brother told her about robbing the tribute rights, and it was the Luo family who cooperated behind the scenes.Perhaps the third son of the Luo family also heard that his cousin came to this country to build another courtyard on purpose. He had some secrets and was called here to inquire.

That's not right, she thought this town was boring, so she cordially invited, "Why don't you have a meal together, I wonder how long Mr. Luo San has been here? I want to know something, my little sister may have some news here."

Luo Zijun smiled and nodded, "Of course. I'm not familiar with the place I live in." Speaking of this, he turned his head, "Brother Xiaochun, too?"

Miao Duan'er on the side had already put away the sharp look just now, facing another rich man, he licked his hair beside his ear and reminded worriedly, "Master, I advise you to leave this brother A little farther away, he doesn't have a good reputation in his hometown, he is still a brother who has reconciled with him. If there are too many places, I am afraid it will not hinder the reputation of the young master."

Min Chun, however, seemed to have a plan in mind, and looked back at him.Luo Zijun smiled and cupped his hands, "Everyone has a past, and the past follows the wind. I just want to be a good friend, and it's okay to be open and honest."

Right, this is a person with a brain.Min Chun nodded in satisfaction.

He had just negotiated a fan workshop with someone, and Luo Zijun, who knew where Qianjing and business opportunities were, would be his workshop partner in the future.There is money to be made, so why talk about those reputations?What's more, this Luo Zijun's conditions suit his appetite, and he will indeed "make friends" well in the future.

Xu Wanmei glanced up and down Minchun, and smiled, "Master Luo said so. My new younger sister is also impatient, sir, please forgive me."

For this reason, Min Chun looked more at this luxuriously dressed young lady.Well, people with high family backgrounds do have wider knowledge.

The dissatisfied Miao Duan'er wanted to speak, but Xu Wan patted her hands to comfort her.

It might be profitable for Mr. Luo to treat him so courteously for a lackluster brother.

Let's take a look first.

-

But at this time, the Miao He's family, after a while of confusion, finally brought order.

Since the first guy sent the reply letter, every three days Yang Dalang will ask a guy to bring back the order.Sometimes fifty boxes, sometimes forty boxes, a small amount but always there, indicating that the condition is good.Miao He was slightly relieved.It just so happens that everyone is not familiar with the business at the beginning, and the fruit packing is slower. Such sales volume can make people gradually become proficient.

However, the output is still greater than the sales speed, and the cellar is not enough now.What was still in the cellar was moved to another longhouse.Miao He was thinking about converting another longhouse into a freezer for ice when a new letter arrived.

But this time when the messenger opened the door, the steamed buns and steamed buns that were playing on the floor of the main room immediately turned their little heads to the door.These days, although there is an extra cute girl to play with during the day, but these two boys will miss Dad when Yang Dalang is away.

Seeing that they would open their eyes wide from time to time, turn their small heads and keep looking for something around. Although they couldn't speak, Miao He knew that they were looking for their father, Yang Dalang who would hug them and coax them every day.Seeing Miao He's heart was sore and soft, thinking that when he came back, he must tell them well.

This time there was another letter, Miao He happily took it and opened it.

Then rub your eyes and look again.

"Two hundred boxes each, shipped cold to the capital, the freshest!?"
