Travel back to ancient times to be a beautician
Chapter 131 Kidnapping
Sunan was vigilant in his heart, Li Lizhi always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time he suddenly came to him, there was absolutely nothing good.
Li Lizhi wore a moon-white brocade robe today, he was handsome, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were handsome, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a shimmer.Her hair is tall, her eyes are deep and dark, she doesn't have much emotion, but she has a tinge of serenity.
Sunan and Li Lizhi were sitting opposite each other, and Lin Jun was next to him, and he felt a bit more settled in his heart, he was right, he was right.
But who knew that when Li Li opened his mouth, he was so angry that he was half dead: "How about you sell me the formula of soap?" With a calm expression, he opened his mouth without a trace of shame. joke.
Sunan's veins bulged out, the person in front of him must be a fool.Soap sold him?Have you made a mistake, is it possible to think about it with your brain?
Before Sunan could speak, Li Lizhi quickly interrupted: "Of course, I know it's impossible, so I'm just talking."
No matter how calm Lin Jun was, he was also stunned by Li Lizhi's words. Before he could react, he was interrupted again. After hearing the words behind him, Lin Jun was silent for a while, looking at Li Lizhi's eyes with meaning. Clear, strange look.What a trick this guy is doing.
There was a "bang" in Sunan's mind, and he was about to explode with anger. This guy...is trying to find fault, right?
"Get out!" Sunan glared angrily, determined to let Lin Jun drive him away, this guy came here to provoke.
Lin Jun got up silently, stared at Li Lizhi with sympathetic eyes, walked in front of the other party, grabbed his collar with his hands, and lifted him up with a "swipe", Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed, and quickly waved and said: "Wait. "Wait a minute, I'm here today to talk about business."
Lin Jun put him down silently, and his fine brocade robe and silk were a little wrinkled from being caught. Li Lizhi was not angry, and tidied up his clothes in embarrassment.Then he said to Sunan sincerely: "What I said just now is not counted as what I said, and what follows is what I said."
"I really want to cooperate with you. Can you sell me some of your soap?" Li Lizhi stared at him with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Hehe, can you talk well?" Sunan sneered twice, if you want to cooperate, you should talk well, why is this kid so awkward when he opens his mouth?
"Why, are you also interested in my soap?" Hearing Li Lizhi's intentions, Sunan's smile softened slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he started the profiteer mode.
"I'm not very interested. It's just that someone in the Li family is very interested in your soap." Li Lizhi curled his lips, disapproving of the person he was talking about, and there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.
How far is Sunan's soap fire?I don't know who brought the soap to the palace. Several nobles were very interested in this thing, so they kept urging the purchasing department to buy more. These Sunan didn't stay in the store and didn't know about it.
"Oh? Interested, to what extent?" Sunan asked with a smile.Lin Jun was next to him, and he was not empty.
"I'm so interested that I want to buy your formula." To Sunan's surprise, Li Lizhi was very honest. He looked directly at Sunan and answered whatever he asked. The honesty made him choke.
"However, do you know why someone in the Li family is interested in your soap?" Li Lizhi was full of energy and continued to ask.
"Oh, I don't want to know." Sunan said indifferently, his face was faintly blue, and he roared in his heart: Who the hell wants to know so much, he is not interested at all, go away, hurry up.
"That's because your soap is so popular, not to mention the streets and alleys, everyone in the palace knows about it. I heard people say that the purchasing department has planned to spend some time, so he came to your store to buy. "Li Lizhi turned a deaf ear and said.
Su Nan's face was ashamed, whether this person really didn't understand what people said, he said he didn't want to hear it anymore, why was he still talking non-stop.
However, Li Lizhi's words made Sunan think that the procurement department is coming to purchase again.
For him, the Purchasing Department is like a big piece of fat. Wherever he goes, fat will fall.It's just that Li Lizhi's next sentence shattered all his fantasies:
"However, the orders in the palace have always been completed by the Jiutian Pavilion. If you do this, you are undoubtedly taking food from a tiger's mouth." Li Lizhi stared at him and said, Sunan was dumbfounded, and then suddenly realized, and suddenly smiled: "And then?"
Knowing that it was not going well, Sunan curled his lips secretly in his heart, thinking that it was so.
When the purchasing department came to the store to buy perfume, the aunt in the palace accidentally mentioned that this business in the palace should have been considered Jiutian Pavilion.Not to mention the item of spices, which is the specialty of Jiutian Pavilion. What does it feel like to have a piece of meat accidentally picked out by someone next to you, which was originally in your pocket?
When Li Lizhi came looking for him before, he was mentally prepared. He thought he was looking for him to settle accounts, but it didn't seem to be the case. When he came this time, he cleared up all the problems.
"This time, the elders of the clan planned to buy the soap formula in your hand, but I don't think so." Li Lizhi looked at Sunan, his tone softened, and said: "But the order in the palace It is absolutely impossible for the Li family to lose it, why don't you sell the soap to me at the original price in a certain amount?"
In fact, this matter is troublesome, but it is not troublesome.
Sunan has been in the limelight during this time, let's not talk about the perfume, he just bit off a piece of the Li family's meat, if not for Wei Guogong Lin Jun's backing, according to the nature of the Li family, I don't know how many times he would have done it up.
Even Li Lizhi didn't know whether Sunan's previous near-misses were directly related to the Li family.
"What if I don't want to?" Sunan suddenly smiled, but there was some sharpness in his eyes, and asked back.
Lin Jun and Lin Jun looked at each other unchecked, Lin Jun frowned slightly, and Sunan looked at each other, and quickly exchanged emotions, there was undisguised worry in the eyes.
"En..." Li Lizhi pondered for a moment, and said to him sincerely: "Then they will definitely punish you, probably to death."
Sunan turned around and looked around him. He placed a weapon rack in the center of the living room, and there was a red-tasseled gun on it. He took the red-tasseled gun down, and it sank a little. He wanted to kill this evil creature with one shot! !
Lin Jun hugged Sunan helplessly, his face was ferocious, the weapon in his hand was snatched by Lin Jun's backhand, and he could only roar at the opposite person: "Get out of here!!"
When Li Lizhi was holding the gun in Sunan, he silently moved aside and said with a straight neck, "So, I just ask you to sell me the original price of the soap."
"Hehe" Sunan sneered and said, "Come over here."
"I don't." Li Lizhi is not stupid, Sunan is obviously still angry, didn't he seek death in the past?
"Come here!!" Sunan roared, his face extremely ferocious, Li Lizhi moved over unwillingly, but Sunan's eyes quickly grabbed his ear, and the latter's complexion was distorted in pain, his handsome face was ugly.
"It hurts...it hurts... Sunan, let go." Li Lizhi wailed, and Sunan leaned closer to his ear and said, "Treasure treasure, treasure treasure, how long are you going to delay for me!!!" Sunan jumped angrily , Every time I was with Li Lizhi, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and I was often cheated.
Sunan thinks that he is also a good player at reading other people's psychology, and he does a good job of observing words and expressions, but every time he meets Li Lizhi, he feels a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.
I don't know if this person is born with little tendons, and every time he does a kind of deceitful thing with a deadpan face, but his eyes are very frank, with an innocent expression, which makes people can't help but beat him a meal.
"I know, I know about the treasure." Li Lizhi yelled in pain, and couldn't help pleading: "I'll help you find it, can't I help you find it?"
Sunan finally let go, sneered twice, and said, "You don't have to report this matter to the elders of the Li family."
Li Lizhi was free, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled at Sunan flatteringly, and said, "No, no, this matter is over."
Sunan's complexion finally improved. Li Lizhi knew that the matter had been settled, so he immediately smiled, bowed his hands and saluted Sunan, and then left.
He sat on the table angrily, and Lin Jun poured him a glass of water, raised his eyebrows, and said in a clear and calm voice, "Is it settled like this?"
Sunan gave him a blank look: "Why not decide?" Although he was a little unwilling, he didn't suffer much.
Outside Wei Guogong's mansion, in front of a carriage, Li Lizhi left Wei Guogong's mansion, the eyes of a person in front of the carriage lit up, waited for him to enter, greeted him into the carriage, sat with him in the carriage, the driver waved his arms, and the carriage walked forward slowly OK.
"Master, is the negotiation over? Boss Su agrees?" The person who spoke was a servant, and asked curiously.
"I agree." Li Lizhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is the elder?" The young servant, with delicate features and delicate features, looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, a little immature, with big and watery eyes, and asked worriedly.
----------
In the Duke's mansion, Lin Jun was a little puzzled, and said, "I think the young patriarch of the Li family doesn't seem to have a good relationship with the elders of the family?"
"Is this something that a blind person can see?" Sunan rolled his eyes towards the sky and said coolly.
Thanks to Lin Jun, Sunan seemed to have heard about Li Lizhi's Li family for a long time, and the twists and turns were very complicated.Unlike ordinary small families, the Li family has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, and usually the housekeeper is not the patriarch, but a group of elders.
Hearing this name, the elder looked like a shady demon heretic, but on the surface he was just doing some normal business.And in this normal business, there is a big business, which is the order of tribute in the palace.
From rouge gouache powder, lavender spice, to honey locust powder, they are all provided by Jiutian Pavilion.For things that sell for a tael of silver outside, Jiutian Pavilion will sell at least three hundred cash more.As for how to open up the relationship and how much to pay to the superiors, that is another matter.
But there is no doubt that at least they are making money.So such a large piece of fat was rashly bitten by Sunan. Although the bite was not much, it also made the people in Jiutian Pavilion a little bit alert.
But Li Lizhi's attitude was ambiguous.From a clear point of view, he is a member of the Li family, and his behavior and behavior are considered for the Li family, but more of it is coping, and he has his own considerations on certain things.
Sunan vaguely guessed that Li Lizhi's patriarch was just a puppet, more like a target outside.But after being a puppet for a long time, it is inevitable that he will come up with his own ideas, and it is also a strategy to obey others and contradict others.
"Anyway, he just promised me that he will help me solve the secret of the treasure. Correspondingly, I can sell him soap." Sunan took a sip of tea, exhaled, and continued.
The conversation he had with Li Lizhi just now was very simple.Soap can be sold to him. If the Purchasing Department wants to buy soap, it will also cooperate with Jiutian Pavilion, and it has nothing to do with his Shiwai Pavilion.After all, people in the palace, as long as they have something, they don't care where it came from.
It's just that Li Lizhi also agreed to him. The matter of the treasure has nothing to do with the Li family.Even if the treasure is indeed found in the future, it has nothing to do with the Li family, and it is he and Li Lizhi who share it... Well, how much to share with him is also a question.
----------------
On the carriage outside the mansion, "Can you really snatch the business of the palace from the elders this time?" the servant asked timidly.
"No." Li Lizhi gave a rare smile. He was very handsome, but he disappeared quickly, muttering to himself, "It's not so easy." The soap from the Purchasing Department in the palace must be bought, and the soap is in Sunan's hands. , only through his hand.If he got angry and asked Sunan not to sell Jiutiange soap, the latter would probably jump in anger.
The corner of the wall is dug day by day, and everything is accumulated. It won't be long before the Li family's right to speak will finally fall to him.Slightly closing his eyes, Li Lizhi buried the firmness in his eyes deep.
"Here we are, young master." The servant reminded, Li Lizhi opened his eyes and was about to get out of the car, but when he opened the curtain, he saw the person standing at the door, his complexion suddenly turned cold.
"Mr. Zhao, are you here?" At the door, Zhao Ping nodded modestly, with a gentle smile, and said, "Li Zhi, what's up, the matter is settled?"
Li Lizhi sorted out the conversation just now, subtracted many things that should not have been said, and told Zhao Ping.Zhao Ping nodded and sighed: "Now there is only this expedient solution." This Zhao Ping has only followed him for a while, and was sent to him by the patriarch and elders. He has some strategies, but because of his status, Li Lizhi is always indifferent to him. hot.
Along with Zhao Ping, he seemed to have no intention of asking: "By the way, patriarch, do you know if there is anything about the treasure of the previous dynasty?"
"The old people in the backyard are all discussing the treasure map." Zhao Ping asked tentatively.
"No." Li Lizhi answered quickly, and answered without thinking.But I was a little troubled in my heart. I had promised Sunan that the two of them would settle the treasure, but the people in the clan would not let it go. How could I find an excuse to fool the treasure map?
Of course, Li Lizhi, who was deep in thought, hadn't noticed the eyes of the people behind him.
Sunan quickly reached an agreement with Jiutian Pavilion to buy the pancreas at the original price, and the amount was regulated by the quantity, which could fluctuate.As expected, Jiutian Pavilion was a big deal. They ordered about 3 taels of soap as soon as they ordered it. In addition to the more than [-] taels of goods ordered by Boss Wang before, the mood became even better.
The work was in full swing, the workshop was short of manpower, and a lot of people had gathered in the past few days. Manager Zhao added more than ten workers, which finally accelerated the speed.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions. In April, although the early spring is over, the grass blooms and the cherry blossoms are flying, and there is no pink and pink flower scene, but the weather is still clear and clear. When you go out to the city, there are green mountains, green waters, and rippling blue waves. The scenery is still beautiful.
Xia Xueyao wanted to take Sunan to play, "I heard that in a small town near the capital, every [-]th day of the new year, the people in the town would gather to sell things, and they might find a lot of good things. "Xia Xueyao was so naive, she held Sunan tightly and said coquettishly.
Sunan hit a hutch, isn't she talking about going to the market?If there is anything to see, it is better to stay at home and have fun.
"No, no, I'm going." Xia Xueyao refused to obey, and was entangled by the side.Brother Jun is very strict with her, usually she is not allowed to go out casually, but on a rare day when he is not around, she has no choice but to play hard
"Let's go, Sunan, you have been in the capital for so long, you haven't visited the capital yet, I heard that the people in that small county are best at planting roses, and all the ladies have gone to see it." Xia Xueyao begged bitterly, revealing in her eyes A glimmer of hope.
Sunan is a little moved, is the rose flower near the capital?Why did he never know about this, so he had to go and see, by the way, to find out if there were any roses suitable for planting in the north.After all, Guanshi Zhao bought such a large piece of land, and he still doesn't know how to place it?It would be great if we could grow roses and specialize in the production of floral dew and essential oils.
However, Sunan was a little hesitant: "Your brother specifically asked me not to go out with you during this time, otherwise, I'd better wait until I come back tomorrow."
"Are you kidding me!" Xia Xueyao looked very excited, Brother Jun will be back tomorrow?Why doesn't she know, no, no, she has to leave today, and she will go right away. When he comes back, there will be no play.
Sunan couldn't hold back Xia Xueyao, and finally agreed, and there was no one else. Song Zhu stayed in Shiwai Pavilion, and the two asked for a carriage. Bringing the silver taels, the two of them set off towards Xiaocang County.
Xia Xueyao looked excited and kept making noises all the way in the carriage, looking around, girls of this age were the most lively and active, and kept a strong curiosity about things, occasionally meeting novel flowers and fruits, You have to stop and watch for half a day.
Although Sunan is helpless, he still dotes on Xia Xueyao. His six relatives are indifferent, and he has no feeling for family affection. Xia Xueyao, though occasionally a bit savage, is like a little sister who hasn't grown up. She usually treats him very well. It's rare that he likes her too. , happy to pamper her.
This Xiaocang County is not far away, and it is more than 100 kilometers away. It took nearly half a day to rush to the county. A paradise that makes people fascinated.
Seeing that she had arrived at her destination, Xia Xueyao's interest also increased a lot. Sunan's nose was very sharp, and in an instant, she smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, which penetrated into the tip of her nose. aroma.
Not only Sunan, but the closer to Xiaocang County, the stronger the fragrance. Xia Xueyao kept shaking Sunan's sleeves, and said excitedly: "Su Nan, have you smelled it? It smells so good!"
Sunan nodded helplessly, raised his head and looked outside, and immediately approached the destination. On the land in front of the town, lush bushes were planted, and on the low bushes, pairs of roses gathered together, which had just bloomed , there are still some flower buds, which are not very colorful, but you can imagine the beauty of the sea of flowers in the future.
This Xiaocang County is a bit lively, people come and go at the gate of the county, most of them are horse-drawn carriages, and they don't go fast. Seeing this scene, Sunan can't help but feel a little worried. If it's so lively, will there be no place for the inn?
Thinking of this, Sunan said to the driver: "I'll get out of the car first, and go see what good inns are in the county." Xia Xueyao said that the wind is rain, and she must have never thought of such a trivial matter as fixing an inn. Only sleep on the street.
"Huh? Does the inn still need to be booked?" Hearing what Sunan said, otherwise he stuck out his small head and asked curiously.
Sunan sighed, the coachman looked desperate, and quickly said: "Okay, Mr. Su, go quickly." Seeing his young lady like this, he knew it was unreliable, and he didn't want to sleep on the street at night.
Su Nan got out of the carriage and walked past the gate of the county. This Xiaocang County is still a bit lively, with people coming and going. There are pots of roses in front of almost every store. They are so colorful that the whole small county is full of joy. In a sweet aroma.
He asked the people next to him, found the best inn in the county, and asked the price. Now there are only the most expensive rooms left, and there are only two rooms left, each for three taels of silver per night.
Sunan took a deep breath in his heart, it was really expensive.But looking at the situation today, there is nothing to do, so I can only pay the money and accept it.After making the reservation, Sunan went back on foot, and the coachman and Xia Xueyao waited obediently.
After learning that there was a place to live at night, the two breathed a sigh of relief. After getting into the car, Sunan told them that there were only two rooms, and Xia Xueyao had a strange expression: "Then... how can we squeeze together?" Squeeze?" She didn't know what to think of, she smiled strangely.
He looked at Xia Xueyao strangely, wondering why she asked such a question: "Of course we two men squeezed each other, how else can we squeeze?" Isn't this nonsense?
Xia Xueyao:....... Pretend she didn't ask.
The clerk led them into the room of the inn. As soon as they entered, Xia Xueyao's eyes lit up, and she ran into the room happily, saying in surprise, "Su Nan, this place is not bad."
This room has a large space, with simple and elegant decoration, and the antique cabinets next to the wall are neatly arranged. When you open the window, you will see a garden not far away, full of roses, like a sea of flowers, filling your eyes. .
Sunan walked slowly to the window, yo, it's not bad, it's still a viewing room.Turning his head to look at the table, there are a few bouquets of rose branches in place, packed in light green porcelain vases, bringing the tranquility of the empty valley.
He frowned slightly, and said, "I also have this flower in my room? Please help me remove it, my nose is a little uncomfortable." It's good to smell the fragrance of this flower once in a while, but his sense of smell is too sensitive, and the strong fragrance is not good. good thing.
When I came to the room where Sunan and the guards lived, there was no difference between the room and the furnishings next to it, except that there was only one wooden bed in the room. Sunan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't like to sleep with others, what should I do?
The guard quickly said: "Mr. Su, I just asked the shopkeeper downstairs, and he said that an extra bed is available, and I will just sleep on the extra bed." Sunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry. "
The guard repeatedly pleaded guilty and said nothing happened.Sunan chatted with him, the guard's name was Wang Liang, he was from Jinzhou, hundreds of miles away from the capital, he joined the army with Lin Jun before, and after retiring, he came to the mansion as a guard to earn money to support his family, but he has not yet married a wife.
However, in his twenties, his face looks a little immature, but his heart is like a child's. Seeing how lively Xiaocang County is, he was a little curious and asked, "Why are there so many people in this county?"
While arranging her clothes, Sunan said nonchalantly, "Xiaocang County is famous for its roses. This is when the roses are in full bloom, so there are naturally many people who come to see them." Otherwise, this room would not be too crowded. It was sold for three taels of silver per room, which was equivalent to a high-end hotel in the capital.
"I heard that there will be gatherings every night, and even the curfew will be postponed for an hour. If you like, you can go shopping." Sunan smiled gently and packed up her things.
"Aren't you going, Mr. Su?" Wang Liang asked suspiciously.
"I...let's have a look again." Sunan smiled. He came here for the roses this time. The quality of their essential oils always feels unstable, which should be related to the flowers they extract.He just walked all the way and found that there are quite a lot of rose varieties here.
When he finds a time, he should ask to see which one is the most suitable for making toilet water, so that it can be mass-produced.
But who knows, Sunan's idea was completely dispelled when he met Xia Xueyao.
"What?! You have to leave alone, no! You have to go to the rally with me!!" Xia Xueyao heard Sunan's intentions, and jumped in anger, holding onto Sunan's sleeve and refusing to let go. "Tomorrow I will accompany you to see the roses. In exchange, you must accompany me to the assembly today." Xia Xueyao muttered, refusing to let go of her hand.
"Besides, it will be night in a while. What kind of flowers can you see at night? Shouldn't you go early in the morning to see flowers?" She argued.
"But shouldn't we leave early tomorrow?" Sunan laughed twice, and the latter wondered: "Why do we have to leave early?"
Lin Jun will be returning home tomorrow, if he finds out that he has taken Xia Xueyao so far, wouldn't he hate himself to death?
"Oh..." Xia Xueyao waved her hands, and said indifferently: "What's the matter? Just explain it to him when he comes back. I don't worry about what you are worried about?"
Sunan was a little moved by what was said, and hesitated: "Then... that's fine." A trace of righteousness flashed across his clear eyes, forget it, just be scolded, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, Lin Jun would not call him fierce.
After tidying up her mood and getting ready to go, Xia Xueyao happily clapped her hands when she saw that Sunan agreed, her bright eyes were wide open, full of smiles and excitement.Today she wore a goose-yellow Liuxian dress, combed her hair with double horns, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.
As soon as I went out, I realized that Xiaocang County was more lively than in the daytime. Walking on the street, rows of red lanterns were hung above the head, and the blurred light shrouded the head. At a glance, the whole street looked like a wandering dragon. , brightly lit, dare not look directly at.
Xia Xueyao felt very excited. This small county is different from the capital city. Although the architectural style is a bit old, it has an extra touch of classical style. Standing on the stone road, the strong historical flavor of the small county is pressing towards her.The quiet small county suddenly became lively, and the collision of the two atmospheres made Sunan's mind unexpectedly quiet a lot.
Sunan looked around, and suddenly stopped, with her head tilted slightly to the back. Xia Xueyao in front noticed it, and didn't think about it, but urged: "Su Nan, what are you stopping for, go quickly."
"Here we come." Sunan replied loudly, doubts and vigilance flashed across his eyes, just for a moment, it seemed that someone was looking at him.But when he turned his head, he could only see a crowded flow of people, which was nothing strange.
Sunan turned his head and followed Xia Xueyao's pace, feeling a little relieved, but he couldn't help but keep an eye on it.
Xia Xueyao seemed to come to the fair for the first time, everything felt novel and wanted to buy everything.The gatherings in the county are naturally not comparable to the capital, they are all rough but delicate gadgets, but she still can't move her eyes.
She walked to a small vendor and stared at a bracelet. It was made of silver, and it couldn't be said to be very delicate, but the pattern on it was a bit strange, and it looked like the pattern of a foreign race.Xia Xueyao couldn't move her eyes anymore, and asked casually, "How much is this bracelet?"
"Girl has a good eye. This bracelet is made of silver. The patterns are those of the ancient tribe. They are small countries around the Zhou Dynasty, and they specialize in carving silver. Look at the hollowed out filigree, which is their exclusive craft... ...."
Xia Xueyao was very interested in listening, and waited for the peddler to finish, then turned her head and said to Sunan expectantly: "Brother Sunan...can you buy this bracelet for me?" She looked at him with bright expectant eyes.
Sunan held a small mirror in his hand, seemed to be looking at himself, and was a little dazed for a while, until Xia Xueyao called him several times before he realized, nodded: "Enen, buy it." He put the mirror in front of him, The peddler asked in surprise, "Master, do you want a mirror too?"
Sunan was in a daze, and didn't hear what the peddler said clearly. He nodded unconsciously and said, "If you want...all of them." He didn't realize until he paid the money, why did he buy this thing?
"Well... I'll give it to you." Sunan casually gave the mirror to Xia Xueyao as a gift. The latter was stunned and asked tentatively, "Is it really for me?"
"Yes, I'll give it to you." Sunan smiled softly, but his mind was not here.
Immediately, Xia Xueyao became a little flustered, her bright eyes burst out with joy, the blush on her face became more and more serious, and she said coyly, "Thank you...thank you Brother Su."
"You're welcome." Sunan just took it as a little girl's coquettish attitude. Besides, the workmanship of this mirror is very peculiar. It is obviously made of silver, but the surface is very smooth. It can clearly reflect the figure, which is better than any brass mirror. It was easy to use, he raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xia Xueyao's head, then walked forward.
Xia Xueyao's heart was almost overflowing with honey, Wang Liang didn't understand why the lady stopped, seeing Su Nan went to the front, and urged in a low voice: "Miss, Mr. Su has gone to the front."
"I see, you go first, don't worry about me." Xia Xueyao replied with a smile, she was in a very good mood, and she was also unexpectedly gentle to Wang Liang.Wang Liang nodded in bewilderment, his legs were moving, but his eyes were worried about his young lady, and he looked back at her frequently.
"This lady is very lucky. This concentric mirror is made of silver, with excellent skills, and is more expensive than the bracelet in your hand." While helping her pack, the peddler said flattering words.
Xia Xueyao chased after Sunan with a smile, but Sunan stopped, turned his head suddenly and looked behind him, his eyes swept over everyone behind him sharply.Xia Xueyao had never seen such a Sunan before, she was frightened and did not dare to move, and asked cautiously: "Su Nan...what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Sunan smiled indifferently, and said to her kindly: "Let's go back after shopping for a while, I suddenly feel a little headache, and I want to go back and rest early."
Xia Xueyao opened her eyes wide. She really thought that Sunan was not feeling well, so she hurriedly said: "Then...then let's go back first." As she walked, she asked concerned: "Why are you uncomfortable? Are you sick?"
He smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, maybe I feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable when I'm in the car." Xiaocang County is well-connected, and all are brightly lit, like a dense spider web. Sunan found the direction, but after a while After burning incense, several people returned to the inn.
Xia Xueyao was still worried about Sunan, and was still a little worried before entering the door, "Don't worry, Wang Liang will take care of me." She smiled casually, she felt that although Sunan was smiling, the expression on his face was a bit serious, and she could only worry about it. Nod.
"By the way, when you are away from home, you live in a room by yourself. Be careful, and if there is any gentleman on the beam, be careful." Sunan sincerely reminded, Xia Xueyao laughed: "Su Nan, don't worry, I know martial arts, how can ordinary thieves be my opponents, he is lucky if he doesn't hit him all over the place." How dare he break ground on the head of Tai Sui?
Hearing that she was so confident, Sunan felt relieved, and went back to the room with Wang Liang.He sensed something was wrong with Sunan, and asked nervously, "Mr. Su, is there any problem?"
There was a rare smile on his face, and he was thoughtful: "Just now when I went out, I felt a stare staring at my back, which made me very uncomfortable, but when I turned my head and looked back, there was nothing." The sight continued one after another , Just now he pretended to buy a mirror, but he didn't find anything when he looked at the back. That person is well concealed.
However, Wang Liang smiled: "Mr. Su is really sensitive, he must be some short-sighted thief. There are always a lot of thieves in such big gatherings. Seeing that you have an extraordinary bearing, sir, I thought you were a fat sheep, but you are not easy to mess with. "
"Haha, maybe it is." Sunan laughed twice, thinking that this explanation was smooth.Wang Liang took off his coat and was about to take a bath. When he remembered something, he hurriedly said to Sunan: "By the way, Mr. Su, you want to take a bath. I'll go down and fetch water for you now."
Sunan shied away a few times, but Wang Liang insisted on going, he thanked with a smile, and let him go.
He sat on the stool, took advantage of this gap, and pushed open the window. Outside the window was not the main street, only two sporadic fire snakes dotted the night. The sweat is much refreshed
While waiting for Wang Liang to fetch water, Sunan sat on the stool and flipped through a book casually. It was just a miscellaneous book of stories, and it was interesting to read it in spare time.It's just that Sunan sat on the stool and opened it for a long time, but he still couldn't see it. Time passed, but Wang Liang didn't come back.
Sunan couldn't sit still.
It's been more than half of the time, and it's just a fetch of water. Could something happen?Sunan went downstairs to the lobby, and asked the shopkeeper at the door: "Shopkeeper, a man and a woman with me, where are they, have you ever seen them?"
Xu Nan's expression was a bit serious, and he frightened the shopkeeper, who said in a daze, "Those two, asked me if there is any pharmacy near here, and went to buy some medicine to relieve heat and treat dizziness, and then went out."
Sunan froze, frowning: "Then where is the pharmacy they were talking about?" A bad feeling gradually rose in his heart, and when he got the answer, Sunan went out immediately.
There were still a lot of people on the street, and Sunan passed through the street like a gust of wind, walking like flying, but after a while, he arrived at the door of the drugstore, feeling slightly depressed. Where did it go.
"Those two? They did come, but they left after buying the medicine. It's been a while." The pharmacy clerk pondered for a moment and said to Sunan.
Sunan's face was black and black, and he wandered around the street in a panic, hoping that it was Xia Xueyao's whim, and she went somewhere to mess around, and would come back later, and quickly walked through the entire main street without seeing the two of them. I went to the inn and asked the shopkeeper, but I also got the answer that I didn't return.
Even the shopkeeper of the inn knew something was wrong, and came out from behind with a anxious voice: "This... this Xiaocang County has always been stable, at most it will lose a purse or something, and there has never been a precedent for abducting women."
Sunan's heart sank, and he asked, "Where is the government office going?"
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant: "This... report to the official now? What if your lady is just mischievous and gets separated?"
"You just tell me where to report to the official, and you don't have to worry about the other shopkeepers." Sunan's face was rarely impatient, and he said to the guy next to him: "You, take me to the government office."
Seeing that something was wrong, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked his assistant to lead Sunan to the mansion. During this period, he ran all the way, and finally arrived at the mansion with the closed gate.Sunan went up, picked up the drumstick and rapped heavily on the drum next to him. The sound of the drum was particularly harsh in the quiet night. After a while, the door of the Xiaocang County Government Office opened.
A disheveled yamen servant in a green shirt came out with a yawn, saw the two people outside, and said impatiently, "Who is it?
In the darkness, Sunan's eyes were sharp, no longer as gentle as jade before, and he walked straight forward, kicking the half-open door open with one kick.The person behind the door couldn't dodge in time, and fell directly to the ground with a dazed expression. Seeing that Sunan was full of evil spirits, he rushed in, and shouted in panic: "Hey... what are you doing... come here, someone Break into the court without permission!!"
Such a miserable roar resounded through the sky, and soon several people rushed out from inside, all of them looked at him in a panic, the one behind him looked like a leader, he should be the county magistrate, looked at Sunan in surprise, and reprimanded : "Who, trespassing in the government office, do you have any rules?"
Sunan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly took out a sign from his chest. It was made of black material, and the workmanship was not good, but he was still terrified when he heard that the county was frightened, and his angry face became a little respectful and flustered: "My lord, it turns out that he is from the capital. My lord, I'm being rude." He saluted respectfully, but found that his clothes were not neatly dressed, his face flushed suddenly, but he was not in the mood to say this to the county magistrate.
"This is the badge of the Duke of Wei's mansion. Today I was playing with the lady of the Duke's mansion in the county. After nightfall, the lady did not come back. I have already searched for the county seat, but I still haven't found any trace. Take someone with you immediately, Every street in Xiaocang County has been searched."
The county magistrate's surname is Chang. When he heard it, his heart skipped a beat. Wei Guogong's name was known throughout the Zhou Dynasty. If his own sister was lost in his own land, how could he get away with it?Immediately scared out of his wits, he hurriedly urged the people next to him: "Hurry up, wake up everyone, and find someone for me."
"Wait..." Sunan stopped him with a frown, and handed him the badge, "Find someone who can ride a horse, and send this badge to him overnight." Zhixian's trembling hand just Stretching out, Sunan put the waist badge into his arms, "Forget it, you just go directly."
"Just say that you have a very urgent matter, and you have to report it to General Xia Xiuxin Xia. The gatekeeper will not stop you, but will let you in." If someone really tied Xia Xueyao and Wang Liang, they must be lurking in the city now, If he bumped into this waist card and snatched it, the problem would be even more serious.
Immediately, a man in the yamen came out, about 20 years old, a man with a rough face, saluted him and said: "Return to the adults, the villain can ride a horse, so let the villain go."
"When you arrive in the capital, you only say you are looking for Duke Wei's mansion, and someone will take you there." The leader of the soldiers guarding the city gate, who has always been on good terms with Lin Jun, should not embarrass him.
The man set off immediately, and the rest of the people divided into several groups to find
Li Lizhi wore a moon-white brocade robe today, he was handsome, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were handsome, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a shimmer.Her hair is tall, her eyes are deep and dark, she doesn't have much emotion, but she has a tinge of serenity.
Sunan and Li Lizhi were sitting opposite each other, and Lin Jun was next to him, and he felt a bit more settled in his heart, he was right, he was right.
But who knew that when Li Li opened his mouth, he was so angry that he was half dead: "How about you sell me the formula of soap?" With a calm expression, he opened his mouth without a trace of shame. joke.
Sunan's veins bulged out, the person in front of him must be a fool.Soap sold him?Have you made a mistake, is it possible to think about it with your brain?
Before Sunan could speak, Li Lizhi quickly interrupted: "Of course, I know it's impossible, so I'm just talking."
No matter how calm Lin Jun was, he was also stunned by Li Lizhi's words. Before he could react, he was interrupted again. After hearing the words behind him, Lin Jun was silent for a while, looking at Li Lizhi's eyes with meaning. Clear, strange look.What a trick this guy is doing.
There was a "bang" in Sunan's mind, and he was about to explode with anger. This guy...is trying to find fault, right?
"Get out!" Sunan glared angrily, determined to let Lin Jun drive him away, this guy came here to provoke.
Lin Jun got up silently, stared at Li Lizhi with sympathetic eyes, walked in front of the other party, grabbed his collar with his hands, and lifted him up with a "swipe", Li Lizhi was a little embarrassed, and quickly waved and said: "Wait. "Wait a minute, I'm here today to talk about business."
Lin Jun put him down silently, and his fine brocade robe and silk were a little wrinkled from being caught. Li Lizhi was not angry, and tidied up his clothes in embarrassment.Then he said to Sunan sincerely: "What I said just now is not counted as what I said, and what follows is what I said."
"I really want to cooperate with you. Can you sell me some of your soap?" Li Lizhi stared at him with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Hehe, can you talk well?" Sunan sneered twice, if you want to cooperate, you should talk well, why is this kid so awkward when he opens his mouth?
"Why, are you also interested in my soap?" Hearing Li Lizhi's intentions, Sunan's smile softened slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he started the profiteer mode.
"I'm not very interested. It's just that someone in the Li family is very interested in your soap." Li Lizhi curled his lips, disapproving of the person he was talking about, and there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.
How far is Sunan's soap fire?I don't know who brought the soap to the palace. Several nobles were very interested in this thing, so they kept urging the purchasing department to buy more. These Sunan didn't stay in the store and didn't know about it.
"Oh? Interested, to what extent?" Sunan asked with a smile.Lin Jun was next to him, and he was not empty.
"I'm so interested that I want to buy your formula." To Sunan's surprise, Li Lizhi was very honest. He looked directly at Sunan and answered whatever he asked. The honesty made him choke.
"However, do you know why someone in the Li family is interested in your soap?" Li Lizhi was full of energy and continued to ask.
"Oh, I don't want to know." Sunan said indifferently, his face was faintly blue, and he roared in his heart: Who the hell wants to know so much, he is not interested at all, go away, hurry up.
"That's because your soap is so popular, not to mention the streets and alleys, everyone in the palace knows about it. I heard people say that the purchasing department has planned to spend some time, so he came to your store to buy. "Li Lizhi turned a deaf ear and said.
Su Nan's face was ashamed, whether this person really didn't understand what people said, he said he didn't want to hear it anymore, why was he still talking non-stop.
However, Li Lizhi's words made Sunan think that the procurement department is coming to purchase again.
For him, the Purchasing Department is like a big piece of fat. Wherever he goes, fat will fall.It's just that Li Lizhi's next sentence shattered all his fantasies:
"However, the orders in the palace have always been completed by the Jiutian Pavilion. If you do this, you are undoubtedly taking food from a tiger's mouth." Li Lizhi stared at him and said, Sunan was dumbfounded, and then suddenly realized, and suddenly smiled: "And then?"
Knowing that it was not going well, Sunan curled his lips secretly in his heart, thinking that it was so.
When the purchasing department came to the store to buy perfume, the aunt in the palace accidentally mentioned that this business in the palace should have been considered Jiutian Pavilion.Not to mention the item of spices, which is the specialty of Jiutian Pavilion. What does it feel like to have a piece of meat accidentally picked out by someone next to you, which was originally in your pocket?
When Li Lizhi came looking for him before, he was mentally prepared. He thought he was looking for him to settle accounts, but it didn't seem to be the case. When he came this time, he cleared up all the problems.
"This time, the elders of the clan planned to buy the soap formula in your hand, but I don't think so." Li Lizhi looked at Sunan, his tone softened, and said: "But the order in the palace It is absolutely impossible for the Li family to lose it, why don't you sell the soap to me at the original price in a certain amount?"
In fact, this matter is troublesome, but it is not troublesome.
Sunan has been in the limelight during this time, let's not talk about the perfume, he just bit off a piece of the Li family's meat, if not for Wei Guogong Lin Jun's backing, according to the nature of the Li family, I don't know how many times he would have done it up.
Even Li Lizhi didn't know whether Sunan's previous near-misses were directly related to the Li family.
"What if I don't want to?" Sunan suddenly smiled, but there was some sharpness in his eyes, and asked back.
Lin Jun and Lin Jun looked at each other unchecked, Lin Jun frowned slightly, and Sunan looked at each other, and quickly exchanged emotions, there was undisguised worry in the eyes.
"En..." Li Lizhi pondered for a moment, and said to him sincerely: "Then they will definitely punish you, probably to death."
Sunan turned around and looked around him. He placed a weapon rack in the center of the living room, and there was a red-tasseled gun on it. He took the red-tasseled gun down, and it sank a little. He wanted to kill this evil creature with one shot! !
Lin Jun hugged Sunan helplessly, his face was ferocious, the weapon in his hand was snatched by Lin Jun's backhand, and he could only roar at the opposite person: "Get out of here!!"
When Li Lizhi was holding the gun in Sunan, he silently moved aside and said with a straight neck, "So, I just ask you to sell me the original price of the soap."
"Hehe" Sunan sneered and said, "Come over here."
"I don't." Li Lizhi is not stupid, Sunan is obviously still angry, didn't he seek death in the past?
"Come here!!" Sunan roared, his face extremely ferocious, Li Lizhi moved over unwillingly, but Sunan's eyes quickly grabbed his ear, and the latter's complexion was distorted in pain, his handsome face was ugly.
"It hurts...it hurts... Sunan, let go." Li Lizhi wailed, and Sunan leaned closer to his ear and said, "Treasure treasure, treasure treasure, how long are you going to delay for me!!!" Sunan jumped angrily , Every time I was with Li Lizhi, I felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and I was often cheated.
Sunan thinks that he is also a good player at reading other people's psychology, and he does a good job of observing words and expressions, but every time he meets Li Lizhi, he feels a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.
I don't know if this person is born with little tendons, and every time he does a kind of deceitful thing with a deadpan face, but his eyes are very frank, with an innocent expression, which makes people can't help but beat him a meal.
"I know, I know about the treasure." Li Lizhi yelled in pain, and couldn't help pleading: "I'll help you find it, can't I help you find it?"
Sunan finally let go, sneered twice, and said, "You don't have to report this matter to the elders of the Li family."
Li Lizhi was free, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled at Sunan flatteringly, and said, "No, no, this matter is over."
Sunan's complexion finally improved. Li Lizhi knew that the matter had been settled, so he immediately smiled, bowed his hands and saluted Sunan, and then left.
He sat on the table angrily, and Lin Jun poured him a glass of water, raised his eyebrows, and said in a clear and calm voice, "Is it settled like this?"
Sunan gave him a blank look: "Why not decide?" Although he was a little unwilling, he didn't suffer much.
Outside Wei Guogong's mansion, in front of a carriage, Li Lizhi left Wei Guogong's mansion, the eyes of a person in front of the carriage lit up, waited for him to enter, greeted him into the carriage, sat with him in the carriage, the driver waved his arms, and the carriage walked forward slowly OK.
"Master, is the negotiation over? Boss Su agrees?" The person who spoke was a servant, and asked curiously.
"I agree." Li Lizhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is the elder?" The young servant, with delicate features and delicate features, looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, a little immature, with big and watery eyes, and asked worriedly.
----------
In the Duke's mansion, Lin Jun was a little puzzled, and said, "I think the young patriarch of the Li family doesn't seem to have a good relationship with the elders of the family?"
"Is this something that a blind person can see?" Sunan rolled his eyes towards the sky and said coolly.
Thanks to Lin Jun, Sunan seemed to have heard about Li Lizhi's Li family for a long time, and the twists and turns were very complicated.Unlike ordinary small families, the Li family has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, and usually the housekeeper is not the patriarch, but a group of elders.
Hearing this name, the elder looked like a shady demon heretic, but on the surface he was just doing some normal business.And in this normal business, there is a big business, which is the order of tribute in the palace.
From rouge gouache powder, lavender spice, to honey locust powder, they are all provided by Jiutian Pavilion.For things that sell for a tael of silver outside, Jiutian Pavilion will sell at least three hundred cash more.As for how to open up the relationship and how much to pay to the superiors, that is another matter.
But there is no doubt that at least they are making money.So such a large piece of fat was rashly bitten by Sunan. Although the bite was not much, it also made the people in Jiutian Pavilion a little bit alert.
But Li Lizhi's attitude was ambiguous.From a clear point of view, he is a member of the Li family, and his behavior and behavior are considered for the Li family, but more of it is coping, and he has his own considerations on certain things.
Sunan vaguely guessed that Li Lizhi's patriarch was just a puppet, more like a target outside.But after being a puppet for a long time, it is inevitable that he will come up with his own ideas, and it is also a strategy to obey others and contradict others.
"Anyway, he just promised me that he will help me solve the secret of the treasure. Correspondingly, I can sell him soap." Sunan took a sip of tea, exhaled, and continued.
The conversation he had with Li Lizhi just now was very simple.Soap can be sold to him. If the Purchasing Department wants to buy soap, it will also cooperate with Jiutian Pavilion, and it has nothing to do with his Shiwai Pavilion.After all, people in the palace, as long as they have something, they don't care where it came from.
It's just that Li Lizhi also agreed to him. The matter of the treasure has nothing to do with the Li family.Even if the treasure is indeed found in the future, it has nothing to do with the Li family, and it is he and Li Lizhi who share it... Well, how much to share with him is also a question.
----------------
On the carriage outside the mansion, "Can you really snatch the business of the palace from the elders this time?" the servant asked timidly.
"No." Li Lizhi gave a rare smile. He was very handsome, but he disappeared quickly, muttering to himself, "It's not so easy." The soap from the Purchasing Department in the palace must be bought, and the soap is in Sunan's hands. , only through his hand.If he got angry and asked Sunan not to sell Jiutiange soap, the latter would probably jump in anger.
The corner of the wall is dug day by day, and everything is accumulated. It won't be long before the Li family's right to speak will finally fall to him.Slightly closing his eyes, Li Lizhi buried the firmness in his eyes deep.
"Here we are, young master." The servant reminded, Li Lizhi opened his eyes and was about to get out of the car, but when he opened the curtain, he saw the person standing at the door, his complexion suddenly turned cold.
"Mr. Zhao, are you here?" At the door, Zhao Ping nodded modestly, with a gentle smile, and said, "Li Zhi, what's up, the matter is settled?"
Li Lizhi sorted out the conversation just now, subtracted many things that should not have been said, and told Zhao Ping.Zhao Ping nodded and sighed: "Now there is only this expedient solution." This Zhao Ping has only followed him for a while, and was sent to him by the patriarch and elders. He has some strategies, but because of his status, Li Lizhi is always indifferent to him. hot.
Along with Zhao Ping, he seemed to have no intention of asking: "By the way, patriarch, do you know if there is anything about the treasure of the previous dynasty?"
"The old people in the backyard are all discussing the treasure map." Zhao Ping asked tentatively.
"No." Li Lizhi answered quickly, and answered without thinking.But I was a little troubled in my heart. I had promised Sunan that the two of them would settle the treasure, but the people in the clan would not let it go. How could I find an excuse to fool the treasure map?
Of course, Li Lizhi, who was deep in thought, hadn't noticed the eyes of the people behind him.
Sunan quickly reached an agreement with Jiutian Pavilion to buy the pancreas at the original price, and the amount was regulated by the quantity, which could fluctuate.As expected, Jiutian Pavilion was a big deal. They ordered about 3 taels of soap as soon as they ordered it. In addition to the more than [-] taels of goods ordered by Boss Wang before, the mood became even better.
The work was in full swing, the workshop was short of manpower, and a lot of people had gathered in the past few days. Manager Zhao added more than ten workers, which finally accelerated the speed.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions. In April, although the early spring is over, the grass blooms and the cherry blossoms are flying, and there is no pink and pink flower scene, but the weather is still clear and clear. When you go out to the city, there are green mountains, green waters, and rippling blue waves. The scenery is still beautiful.
Xia Xueyao wanted to take Sunan to play, "I heard that in a small town near the capital, every [-]th day of the new year, the people in the town would gather to sell things, and they might find a lot of good things. "Xia Xueyao was so naive, she held Sunan tightly and said coquettishly.
Sunan hit a hutch, isn't she talking about going to the market?If there is anything to see, it is better to stay at home and have fun.
"No, no, I'm going." Xia Xueyao refused to obey, and was entangled by the side.Brother Jun is very strict with her, usually she is not allowed to go out casually, but on a rare day when he is not around, she has no choice but to play hard
"Let's go, Sunan, you have been in the capital for so long, you haven't visited the capital yet, I heard that the people in that small county are best at planting roses, and all the ladies have gone to see it." Xia Xueyao begged bitterly, revealing in her eyes A glimmer of hope.
Sunan is a little moved, is the rose flower near the capital?Why did he never know about this, so he had to go and see, by the way, to find out if there were any roses suitable for planting in the north.After all, Guanshi Zhao bought such a large piece of land, and he still doesn't know how to place it?It would be great if we could grow roses and specialize in the production of floral dew and essential oils.
However, Sunan was a little hesitant: "Your brother specifically asked me not to go out with you during this time, otherwise, I'd better wait until I come back tomorrow."
"Are you kidding me!" Xia Xueyao looked very excited, Brother Jun will be back tomorrow?Why doesn't she know, no, no, she has to leave today, and she will go right away. When he comes back, there will be no play.
Sunan couldn't hold back Xia Xueyao, and finally agreed, and there was no one else. Song Zhu stayed in Shiwai Pavilion, and the two asked for a carriage. Bringing the silver taels, the two of them set off towards Xiaocang County.
Xia Xueyao looked excited and kept making noises all the way in the carriage, looking around, girls of this age were the most lively and active, and kept a strong curiosity about things, occasionally meeting novel flowers and fruits, You have to stop and watch for half a day.
Although Sunan is helpless, he still dotes on Xia Xueyao. His six relatives are indifferent, and he has no feeling for family affection. Xia Xueyao, though occasionally a bit savage, is like a little sister who hasn't grown up. She usually treats him very well. It's rare that he likes her too. , happy to pamper her.
This Xiaocang County is not far away, and it is more than 100 kilometers away. It took nearly half a day to rush to the county. A paradise that makes people fascinated.
Seeing that she had arrived at her destination, Xia Xueyao's interest also increased a lot. Sunan's nose was very sharp, and in an instant, she smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, which penetrated into the tip of her nose. aroma.
Not only Sunan, but the closer to Xiaocang County, the stronger the fragrance. Xia Xueyao kept shaking Sunan's sleeves, and said excitedly: "Su Nan, have you smelled it? It smells so good!"
Sunan nodded helplessly, raised his head and looked outside, and immediately approached the destination. On the land in front of the town, lush bushes were planted, and on the low bushes, pairs of roses gathered together, which had just bloomed , there are still some flower buds, which are not very colorful, but you can imagine the beauty of the sea of flowers in the future.
This Xiaocang County is a bit lively, people come and go at the gate of the county, most of them are horse-drawn carriages, and they don't go fast. Seeing this scene, Sunan can't help but feel a little worried. If it's so lively, will there be no place for the inn?
Thinking of this, Sunan said to the driver: "I'll get out of the car first, and go see what good inns are in the county." Xia Xueyao said that the wind is rain, and she must have never thought of such a trivial matter as fixing an inn. Only sleep on the street.
"Huh? Does the inn still need to be booked?" Hearing what Sunan said, otherwise he stuck out his small head and asked curiously.
Sunan sighed, the coachman looked desperate, and quickly said: "Okay, Mr. Su, go quickly." Seeing his young lady like this, he knew it was unreliable, and he didn't want to sleep on the street at night.
Su Nan got out of the carriage and walked past the gate of the county. This Xiaocang County is still a bit lively, with people coming and going. There are pots of roses in front of almost every store. They are so colorful that the whole small county is full of joy. In a sweet aroma.
He asked the people next to him, found the best inn in the county, and asked the price. Now there are only the most expensive rooms left, and there are only two rooms left, each for three taels of silver per night.
Sunan took a deep breath in his heart, it was really expensive.But looking at the situation today, there is nothing to do, so I can only pay the money and accept it.After making the reservation, Sunan went back on foot, and the coachman and Xia Xueyao waited obediently.
After learning that there was a place to live at night, the two breathed a sigh of relief. After getting into the car, Sunan told them that there were only two rooms, and Xia Xueyao had a strange expression: "Then... how can we squeeze together?" Squeeze?" She didn't know what to think of, she smiled strangely.
He looked at Xia Xueyao strangely, wondering why she asked such a question: "Of course we two men squeezed each other, how else can we squeeze?" Isn't this nonsense?
Xia Xueyao:....... Pretend she didn't ask.
The clerk led them into the room of the inn. As soon as they entered, Xia Xueyao's eyes lit up, and she ran into the room happily, saying in surprise, "Su Nan, this place is not bad."
This room has a large space, with simple and elegant decoration, and the antique cabinets next to the wall are neatly arranged. When you open the window, you will see a garden not far away, full of roses, like a sea of flowers, filling your eyes. .
Sunan walked slowly to the window, yo, it's not bad, it's still a viewing room.Turning his head to look at the table, there are a few bouquets of rose branches in place, packed in light green porcelain vases, bringing the tranquility of the empty valley.
He frowned slightly, and said, "I also have this flower in my room? Please help me remove it, my nose is a little uncomfortable." It's good to smell the fragrance of this flower once in a while, but his sense of smell is too sensitive, and the strong fragrance is not good. good thing.
When I came to the room where Sunan and the guards lived, there was no difference between the room and the furnishings next to it, except that there was only one wooden bed in the room. Sunan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't like to sleep with others, what should I do?
The guard quickly said: "Mr. Su, I just asked the shopkeeper downstairs, and he said that an extra bed is available, and I will just sleep on the extra bed." Sunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry. "
The guard repeatedly pleaded guilty and said nothing happened.Sunan chatted with him, the guard's name was Wang Liang, he was from Jinzhou, hundreds of miles away from the capital, he joined the army with Lin Jun before, and after retiring, he came to the mansion as a guard to earn money to support his family, but he has not yet married a wife.
However, in his twenties, his face looks a little immature, but his heart is like a child's. Seeing how lively Xiaocang County is, he was a little curious and asked, "Why are there so many people in this county?"
While arranging her clothes, Sunan said nonchalantly, "Xiaocang County is famous for its roses. This is when the roses are in full bloom, so there are naturally many people who come to see them." Otherwise, this room would not be too crowded. It was sold for three taels of silver per room, which was equivalent to a high-end hotel in the capital.
"I heard that there will be gatherings every night, and even the curfew will be postponed for an hour. If you like, you can go shopping." Sunan smiled gently and packed up her things.
"Aren't you going, Mr. Su?" Wang Liang asked suspiciously.
"I...let's have a look again." Sunan smiled. He came here for the roses this time. The quality of their essential oils always feels unstable, which should be related to the flowers they extract.He just walked all the way and found that there are quite a lot of rose varieties here.
When he finds a time, he should ask to see which one is the most suitable for making toilet water, so that it can be mass-produced.
But who knows, Sunan's idea was completely dispelled when he met Xia Xueyao.
"What?! You have to leave alone, no! You have to go to the rally with me!!" Xia Xueyao heard Sunan's intentions, and jumped in anger, holding onto Sunan's sleeve and refusing to let go. "Tomorrow I will accompany you to see the roses. In exchange, you must accompany me to the assembly today." Xia Xueyao muttered, refusing to let go of her hand.
"Besides, it will be night in a while. What kind of flowers can you see at night? Shouldn't you go early in the morning to see flowers?" She argued.
"But shouldn't we leave early tomorrow?" Sunan laughed twice, and the latter wondered: "Why do we have to leave early?"
Lin Jun will be returning home tomorrow, if he finds out that he has taken Xia Xueyao so far, wouldn't he hate himself to death?
"Oh..." Xia Xueyao waved her hands, and said indifferently: "What's the matter? Just explain it to him when he comes back. I don't worry about what you are worried about?"
Sunan was a little moved by what was said, and hesitated: "Then... that's fine." A trace of righteousness flashed across his clear eyes, forget it, just be scolded, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, Lin Jun would not call him fierce.
After tidying up her mood and getting ready to go, Xia Xueyao happily clapped her hands when she saw that Sunan agreed, her bright eyes were wide open, full of smiles and excitement.Today she wore a goose-yellow Liuxian dress, combed her hair with double horns, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.
As soon as I went out, I realized that Xiaocang County was more lively than in the daytime. Walking on the street, rows of red lanterns were hung above the head, and the blurred light shrouded the head. At a glance, the whole street looked like a wandering dragon. , brightly lit, dare not look directly at.
Xia Xueyao felt very excited. This small county is different from the capital city. Although the architectural style is a bit old, it has an extra touch of classical style. Standing on the stone road, the strong historical flavor of the small county is pressing towards her.The quiet small county suddenly became lively, and the collision of the two atmospheres made Sunan's mind unexpectedly quiet a lot.
Sunan looked around, and suddenly stopped, with her head tilted slightly to the back. Xia Xueyao in front noticed it, and didn't think about it, but urged: "Su Nan, what are you stopping for, go quickly."
"Here we come." Sunan replied loudly, doubts and vigilance flashed across his eyes, just for a moment, it seemed that someone was looking at him.But when he turned his head, he could only see a crowded flow of people, which was nothing strange.
Sunan turned his head and followed Xia Xueyao's pace, feeling a little relieved, but he couldn't help but keep an eye on it.
Xia Xueyao seemed to come to the fair for the first time, everything felt novel and wanted to buy everything.The gatherings in the county are naturally not comparable to the capital, they are all rough but delicate gadgets, but she still can't move her eyes.
She walked to a small vendor and stared at a bracelet. It was made of silver, and it couldn't be said to be very delicate, but the pattern on it was a bit strange, and it looked like the pattern of a foreign race.Xia Xueyao couldn't move her eyes anymore, and asked casually, "How much is this bracelet?"
"Girl has a good eye. This bracelet is made of silver. The patterns are those of the ancient tribe. They are small countries around the Zhou Dynasty, and they specialize in carving silver. Look at the hollowed out filigree, which is their exclusive craft... ...."
Xia Xueyao was very interested in listening, and waited for the peddler to finish, then turned her head and said to Sunan expectantly: "Brother Sunan...can you buy this bracelet for me?" She looked at him with bright expectant eyes.
Sunan held a small mirror in his hand, seemed to be looking at himself, and was a little dazed for a while, until Xia Xueyao called him several times before he realized, nodded: "Enen, buy it." He put the mirror in front of him, The peddler asked in surprise, "Master, do you want a mirror too?"
Sunan was in a daze, and didn't hear what the peddler said clearly. He nodded unconsciously and said, "If you want...all of them." He didn't realize until he paid the money, why did he buy this thing?
"Well... I'll give it to you." Sunan casually gave the mirror to Xia Xueyao as a gift. The latter was stunned and asked tentatively, "Is it really for me?"
"Yes, I'll give it to you." Sunan smiled softly, but his mind was not here.
Immediately, Xia Xueyao became a little flustered, her bright eyes burst out with joy, the blush on her face became more and more serious, and she said coyly, "Thank you...thank you Brother Su."
"You're welcome." Sunan just took it as a little girl's coquettish attitude. Besides, the workmanship of this mirror is very peculiar. It is obviously made of silver, but the surface is very smooth. It can clearly reflect the figure, which is better than any brass mirror. It was easy to use, he raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xia Xueyao's head, then walked forward.
Xia Xueyao's heart was almost overflowing with honey, Wang Liang didn't understand why the lady stopped, seeing Su Nan went to the front, and urged in a low voice: "Miss, Mr. Su has gone to the front."
"I see, you go first, don't worry about me." Xia Xueyao replied with a smile, she was in a very good mood, and she was also unexpectedly gentle to Wang Liang.Wang Liang nodded in bewilderment, his legs were moving, but his eyes were worried about his young lady, and he looked back at her frequently.
"This lady is very lucky. This concentric mirror is made of silver, with excellent skills, and is more expensive than the bracelet in your hand." While helping her pack, the peddler said flattering words.
Xia Xueyao chased after Sunan with a smile, but Sunan stopped, turned his head suddenly and looked behind him, his eyes swept over everyone behind him sharply.Xia Xueyao had never seen such a Sunan before, she was frightened and did not dare to move, and asked cautiously: "Su Nan...what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Sunan smiled indifferently, and said to her kindly: "Let's go back after shopping for a while, I suddenly feel a little headache, and I want to go back and rest early."
Xia Xueyao opened her eyes wide. She really thought that Sunan was not feeling well, so she hurriedly said: "Then...then let's go back first." As she walked, she asked concerned: "Why are you uncomfortable? Are you sick?"
He smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, maybe I feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable when I'm in the car." Xiaocang County is well-connected, and all are brightly lit, like a dense spider web. Sunan found the direction, but after a while After burning incense, several people returned to the inn.
Xia Xueyao was still worried about Sunan, and was still a little worried before entering the door, "Don't worry, Wang Liang will take care of me." She smiled casually, she felt that although Sunan was smiling, the expression on his face was a bit serious, and she could only worry about it. Nod.
"By the way, when you are away from home, you live in a room by yourself. Be careful, and if there is any gentleman on the beam, be careful." Sunan sincerely reminded, Xia Xueyao laughed: "Su Nan, don't worry, I know martial arts, how can ordinary thieves be my opponents, he is lucky if he doesn't hit him all over the place." How dare he break ground on the head of Tai Sui?
Hearing that she was so confident, Sunan felt relieved, and went back to the room with Wang Liang.He sensed something was wrong with Sunan, and asked nervously, "Mr. Su, is there any problem?"
There was a rare smile on his face, and he was thoughtful: "Just now when I went out, I felt a stare staring at my back, which made me very uncomfortable, but when I turned my head and looked back, there was nothing." The sight continued one after another , Just now he pretended to buy a mirror, but he didn't find anything when he looked at the back. That person is well concealed.
However, Wang Liang smiled: "Mr. Su is really sensitive, he must be some short-sighted thief. There are always a lot of thieves in such big gatherings. Seeing that you have an extraordinary bearing, sir, I thought you were a fat sheep, but you are not easy to mess with. "
"Haha, maybe it is." Sunan laughed twice, thinking that this explanation was smooth.Wang Liang took off his coat and was about to take a bath. When he remembered something, he hurriedly said to Sunan: "By the way, Mr. Su, you want to take a bath. I'll go down and fetch water for you now."
Sunan shied away a few times, but Wang Liang insisted on going, he thanked with a smile, and let him go.
He sat on the stool, took advantage of this gap, and pushed open the window. Outside the window was not the main street, only two sporadic fire snakes dotted the night. The sweat is much refreshed
While waiting for Wang Liang to fetch water, Sunan sat on the stool and flipped through a book casually. It was just a miscellaneous book of stories, and it was interesting to read it in spare time.It's just that Sunan sat on the stool and opened it for a long time, but he still couldn't see it. Time passed, but Wang Liang didn't come back.
Sunan couldn't sit still.
It's been more than half of the time, and it's just a fetch of water. Could something happen?Sunan went downstairs to the lobby, and asked the shopkeeper at the door: "Shopkeeper, a man and a woman with me, where are they, have you ever seen them?"
Xu Nan's expression was a bit serious, and he frightened the shopkeeper, who said in a daze, "Those two, asked me if there is any pharmacy near here, and went to buy some medicine to relieve heat and treat dizziness, and then went out."
Sunan froze, frowning: "Then where is the pharmacy they were talking about?" A bad feeling gradually rose in his heart, and when he got the answer, Sunan went out immediately.
There were still a lot of people on the street, and Sunan passed through the street like a gust of wind, walking like flying, but after a while, he arrived at the door of the drugstore, feeling slightly depressed. Where did it go.
"Those two? They did come, but they left after buying the medicine. It's been a while." The pharmacy clerk pondered for a moment and said to Sunan.
Sunan's face was black and black, and he wandered around the street in a panic, hoping that it was Xia Xueyao's whim, and she went somewhere to mess around, and would come back later, and quickly walked through the entire main street without seeing the two of them. I went to the inn and asked the shopkeeper, but I also got the answer that I didn't return.
Even the shopkeeper of the inn knew something was wrong, and came out from behind with a anxious voice: "This... this Xiaocang County has always been stable, at most it will lose a purse or something, and there has never been a precedent for abducting women."
Sunan's heart sank, and he asked, "Where is the government office going?"
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant: "This... report to the official now? What if your lady is just mischievous and gets separated?"
"You just tell me where to report to the official, and you don't have to worry about the other shopkeepers." Sunan's face was rarely impatient, and he said to the guy next to him: "You, take me to the government office."
Seeing that something was wrong, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked his assistant to lead Sunan to the mansion. During this period, he ran all the way, and finally arrived at the mansion with the closed gate.Sunan went up, picked up the drumstick and rapped heavily on the drum next to him. The sound of the drum was particularly harsh in the quiet night. After a while, the door of the Xiaocang County Government Office opened.
A disheveled yamen servant in a green shirt came out with a yawn, saw the two people outside, and said impatiently, "Who is it?
In the darkness, Sunan's eyes were sharp, no longer as gentle as jade before, and he walked straight forward, kicking the half-open door open with one kick.The person behind the door couldn't dodge in time, and fell directly to the ground with a dazed expression. Seeing that Sunan was full of evil spirits, he rushed in, and shouted in panic: "Hey... what are you doing... come here, someone Break into the court without permission!!"
Such a miserable roar resounded through the sky, and soon several people rushed out from inside, all of them looked at him in a panic, the one behind him looked like a leader, he should be the county magistrate, looked at Sunan in surprise, and reprimanded : "Who, trespassing in the government office, do you have any rules?"
Sunan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly took out a sign from his chest. It was made of black material, and the workmanship was not good, but he was still terrified when he heard that the county was frightened, and his angry face became a little respectful and flustered: "My lord, it turns out that he is from the capital. My lord, I'm being rude." He saluted respectfully, but found that his clothes were not neatly dressed, his face flushed suddenly, but he was not in the mood to say this to the county magistrate.
"This is the badge of the Duke of Wei's mansion. Today I was playing with the lady of the Duke's mansion in the county. After nightfall, the lady did not come back. I have already searched for the county seat, but I still haven't found any trace. Take someone with you immediately, Every street in Xiaocang County has been searched."
The county magistrate's surname is Chang. When he heard it, his heart skipped a beat. Wei Guogong's name was known throughout the Zhou Dynasty. If his own sister was lost in his own land, how could he get away with it?Immediately scared out of his wits, he hurriedly urged the people next to him: "Hurry up, wake up everyone, and find someone for me."
"Wait..." Sunan stopped him with a frown, and handed him the badge, "Find someone who can ride a horse, and send this badge to him overnight." Zhixian's trembling hand just Stretching out, Sunan put the waist badge into his arms, "Forget it, you just go directly."
"Just say that you have a very urgent matter, and you have to report it to General Xia Xiuxin Xia. The gatekeeper will not stop you, but will let you in." If someone really tied Xia Xueyao and Wang Liang, they must be lurking in the city now, If he bumped into this waist card and snatched it, the problem would be even more serious.
Immediately, a man in the yamen came out, about 20 years old, a man with a rough face, saluted him and said: "Return to the adults, the villain can ride a horse, so let the villain go."
"When you arrive in the capital, you only say you are looking for Duke Wei's mansion, and someone will take you there." The leader of the soldiers guarding the city gate, who has always been on good terms with Lin Jun, should not embarrass him.
The man set off immediately, and the rest of the people divided into several groups to find
