Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The weather after autumn is hotter than in summer. The ancients called autumn tigers true.Sitting in the carriage, Wang Xiujin felt nothing but heat. He was always sweating on the road these days and never felt dry. Even though there was ice in the carriage, he still didn't feel cool.Fortunately, he will arrive in the capital in a few days, and such a day can no longer be tolerated, otherwise he will find a place to go to Beijing after hiding.

After entering the capital, Wang Xiujin saw Li Sushan at the gate of the city. Although he didn't see anything from the other party's face, he could still feel the joy emanating from the other party.The two half-aged children didn't speak. Wang Xiujin looked at each other, wondering if he was injured. Li Sushan also looked at Wang Xiujin. After looking at each other for a long time, Li Sushan slowly said, "I'm thin, I have to live in the mansion when I go to Beijing this time." Here, let the housekeeper instruct the cook to mend it for you."

Wang Xiujin did not refuse. Apart from sending things this time, he came to Beijing at the invitation of the emperor. As for what the emperor asked him to do in Beijing, he was not quite sure. "Are you injured?" After all, he still asked what he wanted to ask in his heart.

"No, it's just that when I first arrived at the border, I fought with the opponent a few times, and then I never fought again." Li Sushan didn't talk about the details of the battle. It's a minor injury.Following Wang Xiujin into the carriage, Li Sushan kept staring at him.Wang Xiujin was looked at awkwardly, felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was weird, so he looked for topics to break the silence.

We can’t know about the battles at the frontier, but we can learn more about the customs of the frontier. Wang Xiujin is curious about the ancient frontier, but it’s a pity that after years of war, it’s impossible to travel safely. If you want to see the style of the frontier, you can only imagine one time.The flavors of the cattle and sheep in the frontier fortress are very different from those in the pass. If the two sides can do business, you can get some back to taste.Beef and mutton are good tonics. Thinking about it, Wang Xiujin licked his lips. He wanted to eat mutton skewers, drink mutton soup, boil mutton slices, roast lamb legs... the more he thought about it, the more hungry he felt.

"Thirsty?" Li Sushan hurriedly found out the water bag and handed it to Wang Xiujin. "This water bag is special to the border. It is made of leather. It is very dense and will not leak." He was worried that Wang Xiujin would not be able to bear it because it was made of "leather". , I feel unclean, "They have cleaned it in a special way, and I have washed it before I use it, and it is very clean."

Wang Xiujin looked at the water bag, not because he was worried about the dryness, but because he was curious. In his previous life, this thing was a proper decoration, so the price is not cheap. It comes to drink water.Pull out the cork and drink the water, just like Li Sushan said, there is no smell of leather, it is very convenient to use as a kettle in ancient times.

The first stop in Beijing was not to follow Li Sushan back to the General’s Mansion, but to go to the grocery store to unload the goods and settle the payment. The shopkeeper Mi frowned slightly when he saw the peanut oil delivered, "There is not enough oil, just order it out There are more than [-] barrels, how to divide only ten barrels?"

"There are two more batches, which should arrive in a few days. The next batch will be full of oil, so don't worry about not having enough."

"That's good." The rice shopkeeper didn't say any more, after weighing the rice and counting the number of crabs, he began to settle accounts and pay. "The fourth son asked the prince if he wanted to visit the new house after he came to Beijing." Handing the banknote to Wu Xiujin, shopkeeper Mi began to gossip.

"It's important to do business. The house won't run away there. I have to come to see it anytime." Wang Xiujin is really not in a hurry. He may not be able to visit the capital once a year. Even if the house is cleaned up, no one lives there. What does he do, he might as well just leave it like this, and if he really can live here for a period of time in a year, he will have time to clean it up.

The two chatted without saying a word, and Li Sushan just sat and watched without interrupting. When Wang Xiujin got up, he would also get up and say goodbye to the shopkeeper Mi.The two left the grocery store and went to the General's Mansion. This time when they arrived in the capital, Wang Xiujin came with the grocery store's delivery truck and did not bring his servants.I didn't plan to stay in the capital for a long time, and would follow the delivery car back to Wu County.

When I arrived at Li's house, I went to meet the elders first, and was received very warmly by General Li, with a smile on his majestic face, and he looked very kind.Old General Li was very satisfied with Wang Xiujin, especially after the other party mentioned the resettlement of wounded soldiers, he raised his favor to the peak.He asked how the journey was going well, and asked Li Sushan which courtyard he arranged for Wang Xiujin, and told the housekeeper to give Wang Xiujin good nourishment, since it was time for him to grow his body, he had to eat better.

Enduring exhaustion and chatting with General Li, Wang Xiujin found that the old general was very talkative, and he would not be embarrassed to have nothing to talk about.Old General Li also saw that Wang Xiujin was tired, so his grandson took Wang Xiujin to rest.Wang Xiujin was ashamed, so he reasoned that nothing happened.Old General Li waved his hand, "When we get to our home, we don't have those vain things. If we're tired, we can go to rest. If we want to chat with you, we can wait until after dinner."

Wang Xiujin didn't try his best to go back to rest.Li Sushan returned after a while, and continued to chat with his grandfather, still not talking much.Lying on the soft couch, Wang Xiujin felt that Li Sushan was a little strange today. According to Li Sushan's personality, he should talk a lot, but today when he was alone together, he didn't hear Li Sushan say a few words.Most of the changes in human temperament are after experiencing major events.Wang Xiujin was thinking about Li Sushan, tossed and turned and couldn't take a good rest.

From Li Sushan's temperament to when he put Li Sushan in his heart, Wang Xiujin thought too much. He had the same orientation in his previous life, and before he had time to distinguish his orientation in this life, he suddenly had to point out marriage, so he didn't have to make any distinctions.Is it because of marriage?Perhaps this may be the reason. If you can't resist, you can only obey, and you can live a more comfortable life, so you begin to accept the existence of such a person.Thinking about it this way, Wang Xiujin felt quite reasonable.When you have time, you should chat with Li Su, and you should express your sadness. If you hold it in your heart for a long time, you will have psychological problems.He didn't want to wait until the day of marriage to be a person with a mental illness.

After yawning, he finally felt sleepy, turned over and found a comfortable position, and Wang Xiujin squinted to sleep for a while.He really just slept for a while, he felt that he was woken up soon, and a servant in the yard called him up to go to the main hall for dinner. "Master Wang, do you need to fetch some water?"

"Please call me some, thank you." Yawning, Wang Xiujin sat up, probably because he had been lying down for too long, and turned back and forth again. His head hurt a little, he rubbed his temples, and pinched his nose, trying to make the pain in his head less painful. comfortable news.

After a while, the servant fetched a basin of water, got permission to enter the house, rubbed a cloth towel and brought it to Wang Xiujin.Applying the cool cloth towel on his face immediately woke up Wang Xiujin a lot, and the headache also eased a bit.After Wang Xiujin changed his clothes, he asked the boy to lead the way to the main hall.

Only the old general and the two younger generations were having dinner together. Wang Xiujin didn't ask what the others were busy with. After eating dinner quietly, the old general returned to the yard on the grounds that he had something to do. Li Sushan took Wang Xiujin to see his sister. Curious what the little doll looks like now.

The little baby seemed to have just woken up, and when she saw someone coming in, waving her hands and kicking her feet, she seemed very excited, but Wang Xiujin noticed that the little baby's face was expressionless, even if she felt that she was happy.Wang Xiujin reached out and pinched the little baby's soft hand, "It's so soft."

"I recently found that my sister doesn't have any expression. Is it because she sees me every day?" Li Sushan muttered softly.

"Nonsense." Wang Xiujin glared at Li Sushan, this man couldn't have changed his temperament because his younger sister had no expression!Not so! "You should be grateful to God for giving you the differences between brothers and sisters, and you will become extraordinary people in the future." After Wang Xiujin finished speaking, he could feel that Li Sushan's mood improved a lot, and then he found that Li Sushan also talked more, but Compared with the previous chattering state, it is much worse.

The two played with the baby for a while, and then asked the nanny to nurse the baby. The two retreated outside, and after a while, the nanny came out and said that the young lady had fallen asleep.Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan took a look inside and found that they were indeed sleeping soundly, so they left quietly.

As Li Sushan walked, he talked about how many nurses beside his sister had been changed. It seemed that he had really opened up the knot in his heart, and Li Sushan talked a lot again.Wang Xiujin didn't find Li Sushan annoyed at all when he was chattering, on the contrary he was relieved.Li Sushan said all kinds of reasons for changing his sister's nanny, such as lack of dedication, wanting to climb on the bed, etc. Wang Xiujin's mouth twitched, but he didn't interrupt Li Sushan who turned into a sister-in-law.

On the second day after arriving in the capital, Wang Xiujin went to the grocery store again, and heard that shopkeeper Mi went out of the city overnight to the border gate yesterday evening, saying that there was a problem with the business there.Wang Xiujin felt that this reason would only deceive the people in the shop, but he didn't believe that there was a problem with the shop, and it was very likely that something happened to the army at the border.Guessing in his heart, Wang Xiujin didn't dare to tell Li Sushan, fearing that he would talk to General Li after he went back, but thinking that General Li said before dinner last night that he wanted to chat, and then said something happened after dinner, he was afraid that he had already got the news.

There was indeed an accident at the border, but it was not an accident in the army, but the barbarians sent a large army over again, outright asking for people, money, and food, or they would start a war.General Li is not afraid of fighting, so let him give people away for nothing, and also send money, food, and tell jokes?

If this matter was reported to the imperial court, if it had been put in the past, maybe the civil servants would immediately jump up and remonstrate, and they should agree.But after the case of Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, anyone who dares to say yes seems to be a collaborator. None of the civil officials dared to say yes to the other party, and even some civil officials spoke for the military officers. When they hurt them, they will not come again. provocative.Civil servants are suffering!It is obvious that the military officer can have no battle to fight, but now he has to stand on the side of the military officer.

Shopkeeper Mi went to the border with the person who passed the decree. Apart from the eunuch who carried a clear decree, shopkeeper Mi carried a secret decree.
