"Although the drop is not much, it's a good start after all." Wu Datian seemed very happy.

The price of salt has been rising continuously for many years, and not only businessmen, but ordinary people are also very happy that the price can be lowered this time.

"It should drop a little more, and then stabilize." Wu Xuan said.

Wu Xuan happened to know some inside information about this matter.

Because he received a letter from Gu Jin a few days ago.Yes, it was written to him, with his name written on the envelope.

The letter briefly described the struggle between the reformists and the old-fashioned factions. The Hubu Shangshu was pulled down and replaced by reformists, which was equivalent to breaking Feng Ge's arm.It was the first time in nearly a decade that the reformists had such a clear victory.

The Yugu Salt Farm, which was originally managed by Feng Ge's old school, was handed over to Gu Shangshu's proud disciple.

At the end of the letter, Gu Jin agreed to meet Wu Xuan in the capital very friendly.

"It's good if the price is stable, and I don't expect the price of salt to go back to 20 years ago." Wu Datian packed Wu Xuan's newly made braised pork and two pieces of tofu into a big food box inside.

Wu Xuan picked up the box, and Doudou went to a jewelry store on another street.

The jewelry store has just opened for a month, and the name was given by Wu Xuan, called "Jinyu Pavilion", which sounds straightforward and vulgar.But because of Wu Xuan's good handwriting, he looked very generous.

When I entered the shop, I saw a pair of plainly dressed mother and daughter, choosing jewelry at the counter on the right, and a woman at the counter was explaining something to them.

Hearing the sound of someone entering the door, the woman looked up and immediately shouted to the backyard: "Brother, the boss is here."

"Hey!" Ji Qing quickly ran over from the small door, his sleeves were still rolled up, obviously he was working just now, "Boss, you are here to get something, you sit first, I will get it for you."

Wu Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, you clean up first."

Ji Qing laughed and went back to the backyard.

Wu Xuan took Doudou to the counter on the left, and put the food box next to the counter, "Doudo, come and sit here for a while." This stool was designed by Wu Xuan. take up space.

It was the first time for Doudou to visit this shop, and she looked left and right curiously.

Wu Xuan said: "The display shelves of this shop are the same as those of the white porcelain shop." The shelves are filled with rock bonsai, and the prices are not expensive.Wu Xuan told Ji Qing that when he made money, he would replace it with jade carved cabbage and pure gold Pixiu on the shelf.

In the end, Ji Qing was so frightened that he shook his head again and again, saying that he would not dare to put such a valuable item in the shop.

The mother and daughter were looking at the silver hairpins, and couldn't make up their minds after looking at several of them.Ji Chuan'er said to them patiently: "This girl looks delicate, but the hairpin that is too big looks bulky. This thin hairpin is just right for her."

As he spoke, he inserted the hairpin into his daughter's hair and let the woman take a closer look.

The woman finally made up her mind and said, "Okay, I'll buy this one."

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you." Ji Chuan'er quickly took a wooden box and put the hairpin in it.The woman hesitated for a long time just now, probably thinking about buying an expensive hairpin for her daughter, but judging from her daughter's expression, she obviously prefers this thinner hairpin.

The mother and daughter went out with the hairpin, and Ji Chuan'er freed his hands to make a pot of tea, and said to Wu Xuan, "I have guests just now, so I have neglected my host." She looked at Doudou, not knowing what to call her, so she had to I was blessed.

Ji Qing came from the backyard with two boxes in his arms, "Boss, what do you think? If you are not satisfied, let my father go back to work."

"Brother Xuan, what did you ask Master Ji to do?" Doudou said while opening the box on top.In the past six months, Wu Xuan brought a lot of gold and jade decorations and jewelry to his home. He even made several rings of similar styles for storage rings and bracelets.

Opening the box, I saw two sets of jewellery, one set of gold and the other set of silver, with hairpins of all sizes, earrings, bracelets covered with mother-of-pearl, and everything was complete.

Doudou was surprised, "Why is it women's jewelry?" Moreover, these jewelry are small in size, and the shape is mainly hollowed out and wrapped around flowers, which looks more like it is worn by little girls.

Wu Xuan said: "This is for our future daughter."

Hearing this, Ji Qing immediately realized that he shouldn't be there, so he moved quietly and dragged Ji Chuan'er to the backyard.

Wu Xuan opened the box below and said, "This box is for boys. I wanted to make a dagger—"

As a result, as soon as the idea was announced, Ji Changfeng attacked him. Jin Zi was too soft to bite a mark with his teeth, and it would be difficult to cut tofu to make a dagger.

Doudou closed the lid, "Brother Xuan, you're spending money indiscriminately again."

Fortunately, he was almost sad just now, but in the end, Brother Xuan deserves to be the Brother Xuan he is familiar with.My head is full of strange ideas, and I always do some hot-headed things.

"No, this is for our future children, it's not a waste." Wu Xuan retorted.

"Where did our two children come from? Unless——" Unless Wu Xuan took a concubine.

Wu Xuan leaned close to Doudou's ear mysteriously, "We will have a baby next fall."

Doudou rubbed her red ears, but she didn't believe his words.

Wu Xuan went to the backyard and told Ji Qing about going to the capital for scientific research, and left it to him to decide all matters in the shop in the past two months.

Ji Qing agreed.

On July 29th, Wu Wentao, Yang Xiuzhu and Liu Siyuan gathered at Wu Xuan's house and had a lively hot pot meal.

Early the next morning, Wu Wenshou drove the carriage over.

This carriage has been refitted, with damping springs added to the wheels, and the road to the capital is a smooth official road.So there are almost no big bumps along the way.

On the night of the [-]th, a group of people stayed at a post station outside Zhenxing Mansion.

Then they drove all day long, and in the evening, they were already close to the boundary of the capital.Wu Wenshou said: "Big Brother, should we find a place to live nearby, or keep going."

Wu Xuan said: "Let's go forward, to the South City Gate." Although it is definitely not in time to enter the city, but there is a big official inn outside the South City Gate, it is safer to live than a small inn.

With their current speed, they can reach the south gate of the capital in an hour.

"Okay!" Wu Wenshou raised his whip, and the horse started to run again.

Along the way, I met many horse-drawn carriages driving at night, and they seemed to have the same idea as them.

The sky was getting dark gradually, but fortunately the official road was a smooth road, so just go forward.Although there is no moon in the sky on the first day of August, the sky is full of stars and stars, and the road can basically be seen clearly.

An hour later, a bright light could be seen in the distance ahead, which was the giant torch lit on the south gate.

Wu Wenshou said excitedly, "We're almost there."

He was about to speed up when he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic and hurried horseshoes from behind, and someone shouted loudly: "Officials return to Beijing, idlers dodge!"

Wu Wenshou heard the sound and quickly directed the horse to hide aside.After all, this black horse was a prairie horse bought with a lot of money, and he had been with Wu Wenshou for a long time, so he reacted very quickly and ran diagonally forward.

But the people behind were not so lucky.

"Ah!" Only the terrified screams of a few people came from behind, accompanied by the sound of the carriage overturning.

"Good dogs don't block the way!" The man on the tall horse lashed the overturned carriage with a whip, and heard another scream in satisfaction.
