Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Wan Xi led Qin Juan into this Zhuangzi.

I thought no one lived here until an old man came out

"..." Seeing Wanxi, the old man was so choked up that he couldn't speak. After a long time, what he thought of was to kneel down and salute.

While the lamp was shaking, Wan Xi supported the old man: "Okay, there's no need, go and rest, I will come over to make arrangements the day after tomorrow, and we'll talk about it then."

Wan Xi said, the old man looked at him and then at Qin Juan,

Wan Xi took Qin Juan to visit Zhuangzi first.

He talked about the original intention of buying this Zhuangzi. After he came to the Central Plains from Onanhe, he thought of visiting Suzhou, where his biological mother was born, so he bought Zhuangzi here.

Qin Juan vaguely felt that things would not be all like this.

Wan Xi has something to hide from him... It's just that he understands that everyone has their own soft thoughts, and he doesn't want to reveal it to others.

He smiled faintly, and asked Wanxi how much he remembered his birth mother.

Wan Xi said a lot, but what she couldn't avoid was gentleness and seriousness, tenderness and coldness...

Qin Juan really couldn't figure out such a contradiction, but when he looked at Wanxi again,

Such a contradiction is reflected in Wan Xi.

He has clear eyebrows and eyes, and every time he looks at him, he thinks this person is smiling, and sometimes he can feel his tenderness for a moment inadvertently... But when he understands this person's incomparably cold heart, he will feel this People are disgusting and outrageous.

The impersonal Wanxi, the contradictory Wanxi...sometimes the magnanimous and calm Wanxi...This kind of Wanxi started from his biological mother's attitude towards him when he was young.

Thus, a child's expectation of his mother has gone through a longing to be loved, to giving up completely, to losing interest in loving others.

Thus, such a ruthless and ruthless counselor was born at the right time and place.

"You never thought about it. Although my mother's name is Lin Yuean, she might not be the Lin Yuean who came out of the Lin Mansion." Qin Juan's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't look at Wanxi, but at the starry sky outside the window. The stars of the sky.

Wan Xi curled her lips into a smile: "Do you think a suspicious person like me won't investigate?"

"Or are you just talking to me, do you want to know where your mother grew up? Who was adopted? If you want to know, you can ask me directly, don't beat around the bush. You are not doubting our blood relationship, but doubting my ability to work."

Qin Juan didn't expect that Wan Xi would give him a face-to-face order... But now he knows that Wan Xi is a man who is ruthless and confident in his ability...

Wanxi didn't hesitate to tell him the answer: "The person who bought your mother was originally a party nobleman (the royal family of Xixia) from the Xixia Zhongxing Mansion. According to what I found out, this woman bought many girls, and the girls grew up to twelve or three years old. After the age, it will be given to some very important people, such as officials, counselors or big businessmen, but I don’t know why she left your mother alone. Later, Xixia died completely, and she immediately changed the name of the Han people. I also called your mother back to the name engraved on the Longevity Lock when she bought her, Lin Yuean. I guess your cheap grandmother should know that your mother is from the Lin family in Suzhou. After all, the Lin family is looking for a daughter. Anyone with a bit of reputation knows that she has won over so many officials, and she has heard of it. Later, when she was about to die, she married your mother to your father. Your father can give your mother a real Han household registration, and take your mother to the south of the Song Dynasty, and never come back."

"No matter what was on her mind, at least at the end of her life, she wanted your mother to be safe."

Listening to Wan Xi's words about the life of his mother and grandmother, Qin Juan didn't react for a long time. When he looked out the window again, he felt that the scene in front of him was in a trance.

This was the first time he heard about his mother from someone else.

It turned out that when someone mentioned his biological mother, he felt like this... At least, it made him feel alive, he was not a lonely ghost who was tens of thousands of miles away from home and even forgot where his home was.

At least someone knows who his mother is.

At least he still has a cousin here...

The feeling was so shocking and strange to him.

He even indulged in it, returning to his senses for a long time.

In my memory, my mother is gentle and quiet like a fairy, she speaks in a low voice, and walks lightly with lotus steps, but she is different from the Jiangnan girl in my memory. She grew up in Qinchuan, eight hundred miles to the north, gentle, dignified and elegant. of.

Wanxi: "Hexi Confucianism, the Lin family was originally a scholarly family, and has been engaged to the great Hexi Confucianists Guo and Liu for generations, but... secretly, Lin Chen'an's great-grandfather has been studying iron smelting since Lin Chen'an's death. It has never been broken. Lin Shen'an got the true biography of smelting, but later someone informed him about it, and this matter got into the ears of the Suzhou government, and the people of the government sealed the Chalin mansion many times."

Qin Juan nodded. He knew that when he saw his uncle for the first time, his uncle had escaped from the Suzhou government for many years...

At that time, if I hadn’t met my uncle, would I never have met him again?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

This night, he experienced shock and emotion, as well as strange emotions and fear.

Also at this moment, he began to lament the fate.

If in life, there is one less impulsiveness, one less look back, one less smile, the fate will be different.

If he hadn't worked up the courage to step into Taklimakan in that month, he would not have met his uncle.

Uncle, maybe like countless passers-by, walked through Taklamakan and went to a farther place, maybe the uncle who returned to the Central Plains after many years has gray hair.

Or maybe that year and that month, the wolf cub who escaped from Samarkand fled all the way south to India, did not meet Riri, Xuebietai and Ningbai, and settled down in a remote place in India, avoiding The Mongolian conscription did not dare to return to the Central Plains.

In life, there will not be so many ups and downs, and there will not be so many beautiful and deep-seated...

When he became an old wolf, he occasionally thought of Song Guo, and only sighed in vain.

However, there are no ifs in life.

Birth endowed him with fearsome courage, the best thing his father had bequeathed him.

Back then, Qin Guang didn't interrupt the trade just because the Kingdom of Jin was at war.

Back then, because of his unyielding courage, Qin Guang managed to do business in the Kingdom of Jin, and even visited Tianzhu and A Kingdom.

Back then, Qin Guang didn't live in a small village in the Song Dynasty. His fearsome courage supported him to travel all over the world, and even returned home with his beautiful mother.

Back then, Qin Guang did not lose his courage even though he was destroyed in the Kingdom of Jin and traveled to and from the Mongolian Slaves. Even before he died, he still encouraged him to live.

It was the courage Qin Guang gave him that supported him to survive in the tragic Jihab camp, and supported him to defeat man and nature again and again.He admitted that he missed Qin Guang

Under the nine springs, Qin Guang blessed him to find his way home.

The next day, A Zaodong joined them, but something happened.

It turned out that when passing through Suzhou, they were accidentally followed by a team of officers and soldiers from Suzhou. Half of their "goods" were confiscated and they needed money to redeem them.

A Zaodong didn't bring any cash with him, so he could only leave a few people there to wrestle with the officers and soldiers, and he took the rest of the people and the "goods" and left first.

Qin Juan asked him, "Do the officers and soldiers know it's food?"

A Zaodong shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, at least they didn't check when the officials came to you, and I also asked before leaving, don't let the officers and soldiers check the goods."

If the officers and soldiers knew that it was grain and grass, they would definitely be suspicious, because they had stored too much grain and grass, which exceeded the budget of each army, and doing so would be punished as treason.

"I'll give you the silver, you go to redeem the grain and grass first, remember to take a detour after redeeming it, and I'll take someone to Tashuiyuan to pick you up." Qin Juan asked someone to give him the silver.

A Zaodong took the money: "When will we meet you?"

"Tomorrow is time."

"it is good."

On the night after A Zaodong left with his men, Qin Juan led more than ten cavalry to Tashuiyuan.

There is a basement in the manor, which was built by him back then. It was originally intended to prevent wars, to take refuge, and to store things.

He always liked to plan for a rainy day.

Qin Juan waited until the third quarter of the clock and did not wait for A Zaodong to appear, and the person he sent out an hour ago had not returned yet. When he ordered to walk more than ten miles in the direction of Suzhou, he saw a person in the distance come on horseback

Intuition told him that it should be the person sent by Azaodong to report.

The man told him: "Master Ah Zaodong left after redeeming his things last night, why haven't they come back yet?..."

This person was secretly sent by A Zaodong to Suzhou to inquire about the news after they were targeted by officers and soldiers yesterday, but he did not expect to walk in front of A Zaodong

Qin Juan suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and ordered: "Follow me for more than ten miles to find them."

Even if there is an accident, it should be near this Suwon!

Qin Juan guessed that there was a high probability that it was those horse thieves looking for death!

Really impatient to live, even dare to rob his people, bullying them just arrived here?

But this is not the problem, the problem is that even horse thieves can't find out that their goods are grain!

This will spread the word!

For example, Donucci knew that he was heading west with the army, so he would not send anyone to chase him, because Donucci could also get him there in the name of joining the Western Expeditionary Army.

But if Donuqi knew that he had hoarded three thousand shi of rice and noodles, he would not be able to sit still, even if this matter was spread by horse thieves.
