The old man seems to have a soft spot for Mingzhe and likes to talk to him very much.

When he heard Mingzhe's theories of 'one move to life' and 'invincible in the world', he didn't say it as a fallacy like Xue Yan, but agreed very much, and his eyes lit up and said: "The world is so great that I am really good, what does the little brother do about cultivating immortals?"

Mingzhe rolled his eyes and said, "If there really is such a cultivation method, I will definitely do my best to cultivate this method to protect the benevolent people." Then he said gloomily: "According to legend, cultivation is owned by gods and men in the world, and I, a mortal, have no chance to see it." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Little brother doesn't have to be like this, the method of cultivating the truth is achieved immediately." He burst out laughing.

In this way, he and the old man had a good conversation, and more or less relieved the loneliness of the journey between the two sides.

_

As the sky grew brighter, the day-to-night journey did not dampen the enthusiasm of the passengers, and the people on board began to stir up, packing their luggage in groups of three or five.

Mingzhe looked at the old man, only to see the old man twisting his long beard and saying, "It's almost there, is it the first time that the little brother has come here?"

Mingzhe nodded sheepishly.

With the help of a long hook in the hands of the laborers, the passenger boat slowly docked on the platform of the ferry. Before the thick rope on the ship was attached to the bollard, the people on the ship were already rushing to the hatch with large bags and small wrappers.

Mingzhe and the old man looked at each other and smiled, and followed behind the crowd with their respective luggage.

"Uncle, don't you have a package? I'll help you deliver it to your home. Mingzhe asked with concern.

The old man looked at the huge package behind him and showed a look of approval, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, little brother, the goods are all in the hotel, take care of yourself, and see you again in the future." With that, he squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

Mingzhe shook his head, the feeling of regret lingered, and he felt very cordial with the old man in this short period of time, like an old friend who had known him for many years.

Looking up at the clear sky, the white clouds were pulled by the wind very thin and long, Mingzhe took a deep breath and hurriedly walked towards the Yuelai Inn.

_

Mingzhe, who had just arrived at the Yuelai Inn, handed over the herbs he brought to his father, and his joy was overflowing, and his father was also very happy, and he choked up: "Eldest son..."

Uncle Zhang next to him also greeted him, patted Mingzhe's shoulder with a look of joy, and hurriedly said, "Go in and talk, look at you two, just be safe." Mingzhe looked at Uncle Zhang, and saw that he was oily and powdery, and his clothes were gorgeous, and it seemed that business was not ordinarily good.

Mingzhe arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang." The three of them walked into the room of the Yuelai Inn.

Mingzhe looked at the furnishings in the house and sighed, the big city is different, the beds, tables and chairs, and wardrobes are all made of high-quality mahogany, painted with festive red paint, the bedding is extremely soft, and a pair of pillows embroidered with dragons and phoenixes add to the warmth. The purple sand teapot on the table was steaming from the spout, and I don't know what kind of precious tea leaves made the room full of aroma.

Mingzhe looked at his father with a surprised gaze and asked, "This room is expensive, isn't it?"

The father smiled mysteriously and said proudly: "How can it be like your mother, it is still your Uncle Zhang's luck, not long after we came, we contacted a big... Buyer, this little benefit is just a small meaning, if he is very satisfied with the samples you brought, he will send a cargo ship to our village in the future to buy a large number of them, and I and your Uncle Zhang are fully responsible, the yuan money, the silver ingot..."

Seeing his father's confident appearance, Mingzhe was also happy, yes, there is no joy in life than this.

Uncle Zhang also snickered beside him, glad that he followed the right person and went the right way.

The father put away his smile and said to Mingzhe earnestly: "After lunch, I will take you to see this nobleman, take a good look, you are sixteen, my lord, you can be a successor for my great future, as for your studies, you can do it yourself." Uncle Zhang next to him said yes again and again.

Mingzhe was stunned for a while and said, "I know Dad." ”

The father laughed and scolded: "I don't care about anything, what a little broken child." Then he took Uncle Zhang downstairs and went to Zhang Luo's wine and food.

_

In the private room on the first floor, Uncle Zhang first raised his glass and said, "Thanks to Brother Yuan's care, the younger brother will do it first as a respect!"

Father also took a toast with Xiaoxiao, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Thinking back to the past, when I first came here, I did all the dirty work and tired work, and I really didn't expect life in the big city to be so difficult, hey..." Later, it improved, and it only began to emerge when I was doing odd jobs in the hospital, and the customers were kind, and I took care of some medicinal materials from my hometown, which finally improved a little, but it was far from enough to be developed. ”

Mingzhe was deeply touched and raised his glass to his father and said, "The child understands. ”

The father patted the table and said loudly: "This time is different, the customer is a big man in this country, his status is extremely high, and the payment is not a problem, and the herbs we need are enough to make us rich." Then the three of them had a drink together, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Uncle Zhang looked at the two men who were a little depressed and said, "Look at it, it's not that the business has not been negotiated, so why worry about others and disturb yourself? By the way, Ah Zhe, your Aunt Zhang is okay?"

Mingzhe hurriedly raised his head, "Everything is fine, don't worry, it's just... I miss my uncle so much and... Swallows. Thinking of Xueyan, his heart was sour, three years, as the so-called: thoughts can turn into the wind, and only when you wake up from a dream do you know that it is precious.

Uncle Zhang took another sip of wine and said, "Yes, time flies, it's time to meet her." Then he remembered something, and said to Mingzhe: "Yan'er, that kid is really stubborn, and introduced her to a few rich and noble children, each with a talent, she just doesn't obey, you can help me persuade her when you are free." ”

Mingzhe lowered his head and replied 'yes' in a voice he could hear.

_

Mingzhe followed his father and Uncle Zhang to the house of the 'big man' in a trance.

I saw that the tall gatehouse is divided into two layers, the sandalwood is the beam for the threshold, next to the white jade pillar that is difficult for one person to hold, the two stone beasts are majestic, squatting on the stone platform with gilded patterns, the mouth is holding a jade ring, and the eyes are inlaid with brilliant gems and shimmering, which is by no means comparable to the stone beasts of the company commander's house, the top of the vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black nanmu plaque, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances on it to carve the three big characters of 'Zhenyuan Mansion', and the lower right corner of the big characters flashing with golden light has the seal of the king of this country, which is indescribably solemn and solemn.

The guards on the second floor watched the three of them warily, and issued a secret signal to the guards downstairs.

Wen Xun, the guard at the door, looked at the three of them, pulled out his sword and pointed at the three of them and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Frightened, Mingzhe and the three of them trembled, his father explained his intention with a smile, slowly walked to the guard, took out a bag of silver ingots from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, and kept nodding and saying: "Thank you for your care, thank you for your care..."

The guard flipped the money bag in his hand, pursed his lips, and replied, 'Wait.' He whispered to another guard beside him, pushed the door open and entered the house.

After a long time, the door opened, and the guard who entered said to the three of them, "Just bring the herbs in." ”

The father was just about to take a step, but was stopped by the guards, took the herb and said arrogantly: "Wait! Zhenyuan General's Mansion can you enter?" Then he waved his hand and said, "Please go back!"

The father smiled and gave a deep salute and said, "There is Master Lao." He turned around and walked towards the Yuelai Inn with Mingzhe and Uncle Zhang.
