talk about wine

Master Yan trusts Yan Qian, and he handles many things in the house. This time he heard the news because his master is having a headache. The thirteenth day of the first lunar month next month will be the [-]th birthday of Jiangning Prefecture Governor Zhao Pingxuan.The Yan family has a personal relationship with the Zhao family, and the Yan family intends to take over the Jiangning shipping business, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the government.

But giving gifts and officials, you can't be too flamboyant but you can't be sincere. The news of Polygonum multiflorum came at the right time, so Yan Qian rushed over after hearing the news without checking the authenticity.

Yan Qian glanced at the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand, and said calmly: "This Polygonum multiflorum, how do you plan to sell it?"

Meng Chuxi chuckled lightly: "Business is all about your love and I am willing. Butler Yan must have worked so hard to come here because he sincerely wants it, and I really want to sell it. I think it will be a good deal. If this Polygonum multiflorum is sold to a pharmacy, its The medicinal value in Qingyang Town is no more than three pennies at most, so what I sell is not only its medicinal value, but what Yan Guanjia wants is not only the medicinal value."

Yan Qian looked at her for a long time, and then burst out laughing: "That day when I saw the girl, I felt that she was not an ordinary person, but in such a remote and remote place, she still had a brilliant mind like yours, that's right, I didn't miss her. "

Meng Chuxi shook her head: "I'm not the only one paying attention." After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Qingwu, the meaning was self-evident.

Yan Qian was a little surprised, but Zhou Qingwu barely managed to stabilize his expression at the moment. Seeing Yan Qian looking at her, he just shook his head slightly, his expression was calm, his eyes faded from the daze and panic just now, and they were quite spiritual.

Yan Qian thought it was interesting: "Okay, the pharmacy offered three guan, then I will promise [-] guan, what do you think?"

After Zhou Qingwu listened, he looked at Meng Chuxi. The price of [-] guan was several times higher than that of [-] guan, which is already quite a lot, but...

Meng Chuxi didn't answer her immediately, but just looked at Zhou Qingwu: "Twenty is already a lot, what does Qingwu think?"

Zhou Qingwu didn't expect that she would ask himself, he was stunned for a moment and then stretched out his hand to gesture: It owes me a lot, but it owes a little.

Yan Qian was a little surprised when he saw her gesturing but didn't open her mouth, but quickly retracted it, and said with a normal expression: "What does Lingmei mean?"

Meng Chuxi smiled faintly: "She said that my family's twenties are quite a lot, but it owes some."

Yan Qian did not hide the interest in his eyes now. He has been in Qingyang Town with his master for three years. After all, the people he met in a small place are worse than those in the capital, but he unexpectedly met such a person here. For fun sisters.

"So how much do you think is appropriate?"

"If this kind of goods meets the right owner, even a thousand gold is hard to find. If you don't like it, it's worth at most two. Of course, if it stays in our hands, it can only be used as a medicinal material, but it's worth it if you meet it. Fate, we also hope to find an owner who cherishes it. If it is only worth twenty pennies in the eyes of Steward Yan, I also want to know how much it is worth in the eyes of other people?"

What Meng Chuxi said seemed to be harsh, but his tone was very casual. Yan Qian originally wanted to suppress them.Hearing what she said, she laughed again: "It seems that if I want to get this Polygonum multiflorum, I need to show my sincerity." After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his hands to make a gesture of four.

"Forty strings, no matter how much it is, it may not be a good thing for you." The one that stands out is the tree that stands out from the forest.

Meng Chuxi secretly felt that Yan Qian was also an old fox, and directly hit her sore spots. Unless she had enough capital to leave Zhoujia Village, otherwise she would have to stay in "poverty" if she wanted to stay here, so she nodded: "Steward Yan is sincere. Absolutely, doing business with you twice is very speculative, and giving you forty guan is well deserved."

Yan Qian cupped his hands and gave a salute: "You are also straightforward people, so it's settled." After finishing speaking, he said: "I feel that it's a pity for you to stay here. If possible, you are good businessmen. Meeting is fate. If you need something in the future, you can go to the Yan Mansion, if you can help the old man, I will help you."

Regardless of whether he was sincere or polite, Meng Chuxi was still slightly happy to receive such a sentence, and immediately cupped his hands to thank him.

Forty pennies of silver is not a small amount, and Yan Qian didn't have enough on him, so he sent the two of them to Yan's mansion to get it.This was in the arms of Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu, but they refused the invitation to go back in the carriage with Yan Qian, and they went to the town with the so-called bag containing Polygonum ubud on their backs.When I met an acquaintance, I said that the deal had not been negotiated, and I was afraid that the thief would worry about it, so I went directly to the pharmacy to sell it.

The people who showed the way thought they were lucky, but the business turned out to be a mess. However, if such a fleece-flower root flower was sold in a drug store, it was already a considerable income for ordinary farmers like them.

Just after Meng Chuxi and the others went to the town, the little thief who was chased away by Da Huang last night and dared not go home came back.

The heavy log hit him on the forehead just yesterday, and now his nose is bruised and his face is swollen.Last night, I was chased by a dog in a panic, and when I rushed to the mountain, I was badly scraped by thorns and branches. I sprained my feet and walked with a limp.The person who sneaked into Zhou Qingwu's house was named Zhou Xiaowu. He was young but idle. He had been wandering around and rarely returned home. He also loved to gamble. His family was completely ruined and destitute.

He didn't live at home often, but he just came back to hide his debts these few days, and when he heard that they had dug up the treasure, he came up with Zhou Qingwu's idea.Originally, I thought that the two weak women would not be afraid of anything, but I didn't expect to suffer such a big loss.

He didn't dare to show it like this, and when he took a detour to hide back home, his mother was surprised when she saw her, and she couldn't find out when she asked, only thinking that he ran out to fight with others again, crying and scolding.Zhou Xiaowu had a bad face, and couldn't stop the resentment in his heart.

After Yan Qian left, Meng Chuxi thought about it and said, "Qingwu, can you tell me now, what happened just now? When you saw Butler Yan, you looked very wrong, and then you were so annoyed, but what happened? "

Zhou Qingwu lowered his head, twisted his fingers a few times, and finally gestured: I thought he recognized you.

Yan Qian's performance is naturally that he knows himself, how could he say that?Suddenly Meng Chuxi thought of something, "You think he knows my identity, and then I will leave?"

Just hearing her say this, Zhou Qingwu nodded sullenly as if his heart had been twisted.

Meng Chuxi laughed a little, but also felt a little distressed, and said softly: "But later I found out that it wasn't, so why did you have that expression?" That look was not a look of disappointment for her.

Zhou Qingwu lowered his head and didn't look at Meng Chuxi, nor did he answer.Meng Chuxi didn't urge her, but just looked at her tenderly from the side.After a long while, she raised her head, her eyes were red, and the water inside was surging, she was about to cry.

Meng Chuxi's heart tightened: "What's wrong, did I say something wrong, don't cry, I won't ask, okay?"

It's okay if she doesn't coax, Zhou Qingwu burst into tears when he said that.Meng Chuxi hurriedly reached out to wipe away tears, with annoyed and guilty expression on her face, she gestured and said: It's best that you can go home, but I'm too greedy, I thought you could go back, I'm not happy for you, and I'm very scared.You are so kind to me, but I am so selfish. I am not a good person, and I am not worthy of you being so kind to me.

Meng Chuxi looked at her seriously, and after understanding what she meant, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.Such complicated emotions surged in her heart, this silly girl, why is she so harsh on herself.

Meng Chuxi sighed softly, and when the little girl flinched and looked up at her, she flicked her forehead with her knuckles.Her strength was not light, Zhou Qingwu's tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, and he looked very pitiful when he looked at Meng Chuxi.

"Do you know why I hit you?"

Zhou Qingwu shook his head.

Meng Chuxi frowned and said, "You always like to think wildly at such a young age, and you just blame yourself for such a thing for so long? I owe you a fight." After she finished speaking, she stretched her eyebrows and said softly, "Do you think that I will do it because of you? Should I blame you for being selfish? Silly girl, if you find out that I am leaving and you are happy, then I will be sad. "

Zhou Qingwu was stunned, blinking his eyes as if he was thinking about what Meng Chuxi said.

"You are not a saint, don't be so harsh on yourself, you know. Besides, Qingwu, what I said before always counts. Whether I can remember it or not, you must be a very important person. Now I will follow you, if I return Now home, as long as you want, I will definitely take you with me." This was not to comfort her, Zhou Qingwu meant a lot to her.

Zhou Qingwu stared at her blankly, not knowing how to express it for a while.And Meng Chuxi has already reached out to hold her: "Let's go, don't keep others waiting."

She explained it very directly, and ended the topic very directly, but she gave Zhou Qingwu a solemn promise.Zhou Qingwu thought, even if Chu Xi really went home in the future, these days would be enough.

Yan Qian paid the money very neatly, the forty guan coins were finally converted into silver, and it was not very conspicuous when he returned.Although Polygonum multiflorum was sold, Meng Chuxi was a little worried that the man would hold a grudge after eating it.Meng Chuxi knew all the people in the village, even through Zhou Qingwu, and there were not many people who could do such a thing.

Today, the person Aunt Liu mentioned caught Meng Chuxi's attention.Zhou Qingwu also mentioned that Zhou Xiaowu, who is in his 30s, is said to have done a lot of stealing. He even stole the well-dried medicinal materials from Zhou Qingwu's poor family, and his wife couldn't stand it and ran away. Aunt Liu just happened to meet him back to the village the day before yesterday.

It’s just that everything is just guesswork without proof, Meng Chuxi kept an eye on it, after returning home, Zhou Qingwu and Meng Chuxi collected the money saved at home, except for the [-] cash for home use, the rest were put into the small box for saving money. Wrap it in kraft paper, put it in the secret compartment dug by Zhou Qingwu before, and press it with a cabinet.

Meng Chuxi counted carefully. She has been in Zhoujia Village for almost four months. There are two people working together to subsidize the family. The family's expenses can be maintained. Counting the money left over from selling thatch mushrooms, the family has 43 yuan. Five hundred wen, not counting Meng Chuxi's two golden leaves.

Although more than 40 years is not said to be rich, it is enough for them to settle down. Compared with before, it is completely turned upside down.

Meng Chuxi smiled and looked at the put boxes: "The days are really getting better and better."

In fact, Zhou Qingwu didn't recover much, and only now did he gesture and say: It's like a dream.

Four months ago, she really couldn't even dream of it.

This time it was really lucky, and Meng Chuxi secretly felt that she was probably like the koi raised by Zhou Qingwu, and it could indeed bring good luck.

The door lock at home, Meng Chuxi, used the excuse that it was broken, so she asked carpenter Zhou in the village to re-make the door bolt, so as not to try to hide the truth.

People's interest came and went quickly, and Zhou Qingwu and Meng Chuxi didn't see Zhou Qingwu and Meng Chuxi living comfortably after Polygonum multiflorum was sold. The women in the village soon had something new and put it behind them.

And Zhou Qingwu's house was calm and quiet at night, and the turmoil seemed to have passed.It's just that some people feel uncomfortable, especially after not coming back for so long, seeing Zhou Qingwu's family has a delicate beauty, Zhou Xiaowu's mind is even more eager to move.

After hiding at home for a few days, when the injury was almost healed, Zhou Xiaowu went to the town to have fun again after rummaging through boxes and cabinets and taking away the little money left at home.

Last week in the casino, Xiao Wu also had a lot of gamblers. When a group of people were chatting together, one of them who lived in Qingyang Town inadvertently mentioned that the Yan family had recently acquired a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. He thought of the Polygonum multiflorum that Zhou Qingwu dug up.

His expression changed slightly: "But you bought it from the dumb house in Zhoujia Village?"

The man froze for a moment, and frowned: "I don't know either. My cousin told me about it when he saw it with his own eyes in Yan's family. But it was rumored that someone in Zhoujia Village dug up a rare Polygonum multiflorum, probably That's right. Damn it's really lucky, I don't know how much money it sold, why didn't I meet it?"

He cursed and said a few words, then impatiently said: "Stop talking, keep driving! Let me tell you Zhou Xiaowu, you owe a lot of debt, if you can't make up your money, don't blame me for being ungrateful. I can't do the job with the third master."

Zhou Xiaowu's face turned blue and red, and he pressed all the remaining money from his arms: "I don't believe it anymore, I can be unlucky for the rest of my life, give it to me, and I will definitely make money!"

The veins on his face popped up, and he roared: "Big, big, big!" His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the dice cup in front of him. After he opened it, the muscles on his face were a little distorted, and he was shaking with excitement. Shaking, laughing loudly: "Big, haha, big! I said I'm going to change my luck!" In the noisy casino, there were wailing and roaring one after another, and Zhou Xiaowu's hoarse voice was mixed in, no one paid attention.
