Chapter Ninety-Four: The Merchant

After Mei Yixuan waited for Xue Bajin and Zhao Erli to leave, she also walked out of Yinwan Hutong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info She walked down the street with a fan in her hand, seemingly watching the scenery on the street, but paying attention to the movements around her.

This attention is really a discovery. On his left side, there is always a person a few meters away, following him unhurriedly. It's just that this person is very clever in tracking, and he doesn't look at himself, and he doesn't have the feeling of being stared at.

This man is dressed in ordinary clothes, of medium stature, wearing a cyan gown, and a pair of small eyes look at passers-by flatteringly, looking a little bit of a philistine. He carried a pair of burdens on his shoulders, and at each end of the burden carried a square wooden box, which contained everything colorful and green. He carried a burden on his left shoulder and a rattle in his right hand, shouting and singing as he went.

"They are all brothers and sisters from Kyoto,

Something good for you,

Our things don't lie,

Candy, toys, needles, threads, and gouache,

Coarse, muslin, satin, sole, vamp, shoehorn,

Wooden combs, grates, melons and fruits, snacks, brooms, dustpans, all that whole・・・・・・

As he shouted, the women of the neighborhood all came out of the house, gathered in front of his load, and chose what was in it to their liking, and each time he nodded and said something pleasing to him, which made the old and young women smile, and they left again with satisfaction.

Mei Yixuan didn't pay attention to him at first, because he seemed to have no purpose, just wantonly selling on the street, and stopped when he met someone to buy, not looking around at all, nor staring at a certain person or place.

She also stared at the merchant's burden with interest, feeling very interesting. It wasn't until she had walked two streets, and the merchant was still following behind her, that she became alert.

In order to be afraid that someone with a heart would follow him, he deliberately spared a circle and did not go directly to his uncle's house. It is no coincidence or accident that this merchant followed her two streets. is really patient, and even quietly and skillfully uses the merchant as a cover to follow him. If he hadn't been alert, wouldn't he have led him to his uncle's house? Thinking about it like this, Mei Yixuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

My uncle has only been in Kyoto for a few days, and this visit to Beijing must have something to do with official affairs in southern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang is a sensitive area, where more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed, and my uncle is a general from Wupin, and those who have a heart must be indispensable to win over. If you can't win him over, you will definitely try everything you can to deal with him.

My uncle's family is not in Beijing, and only their mother and daughter are the weakness of my uncle in Kyoto. Although he wears makeup, if he is followed to Meifu, he will immediately be associated with him.

She concluded that she must have been followed when she was selling Cistanche just now. The person who is most likely to follow him should be the people of the Rejuvenation Hall. Of course, it is also possible that there are people who are staring at the Rejuvenation Hall, because the time they spend in the Rejuvenation Hall is not the time they spend in ordinary medicine.

Since the Rejuvenation Hall is linked to the Five Princes, the opponents of the Five Princes must always be keeping an eye on the territory he belongs to, and he may also be targeted by some of the Five Princes' opponents in Kyoto.

I can't make trouble for my uncle, and in this world, I'm afraid only my uncle's family is sincere to their mother and daughter. She can't help her uncle, even if she can't bring trouble to him.

Mei Yixuan's heart was tumbling, but her face was still calm, shaking her fan and looking at the scenery while walking, no one could see that she was looking for a place to get out.

At this time, a three-story restaurant appeared not far in front, and the three big characters of "Jufu Building" on the wine banner were particularly eye-catching.

A man in a green coat and a small hat, holding a white cloth scarf in his hand, stood at the door of the restaurant and was greeting customers.

"Guest, have you eaten well, you are good, come back next time. ”

"Guest, are you here? How many of you are eating in the lobby or upstairs? Okay, okay, you are upstairs, please! There are five people upstairs・・・・・・!

"Hey, this uncle, can you not stand here and move to the side, and it will be terrible to bump into the guests later. Yes, yes, it's okay to be there, I'll bring you the rest of the food in a while, you wait a little longer. ”

Mei Yixuan walked over slowly, and saw that this fourteen or fifteen-year-old man was persuading a ragged and skinny old man, and his heart was still kind, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.

"Guest officer, are you here, please!" The young man saw Mei Yixuan coming over, and hurriedly left the old man and greeted him.

She glanced at the merchant shouting behind her, and turned around and walked into the restaurant.

In the lobby of the restaurant, there are not many people, this time has long passed the time of eating, only a table of seven or eight people of foreign merchants sit together to eat, while eating and talking about the strange things seen along the way, the atmosphere is very warm.

"Hey, have you heard? The northern Tartars are restless again, and the caravans leaving the customs have been robbed several times, and it looks like there will be another war. ”

"Wouldn't it? This trade route is the agreement reached between the defeat of the Tartars and the Tartars more than ten years ago, could you have heard it wrong?"

"Yes, it is winter that we start plundering merchants, and now this season is very abnormal!

"That's not right, Han Gong is still guarding the northwest town, with him, the Tartars are crazy? This season to rob merchants? Han Gong didn't care?"

"I don't know the details, I only know that no one dares to leave, maybe the rumors are wrong. “

"Hey, don't you care if he's a Tartar or not, why don't we go to the north? Drink and drink, talk less about this, or talk about how to make more money. “

"Wrong, you have to pick a place to make money, don't you? You can't go to the north, you can't go to an unstable place, that place is not to make money, and you can't get your life on the way. “

"Where is it unstable? Is there any unstable place in the pass?"

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang drank too much, right? Where is there such a place, don't listen to his nonsense, maybe he didn't wake up and had hysteria. “

"Hahaha, it's not, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm foolish, drinking and drinking, gossiping, drinking wine and eating meat is the most affordable・・・・・・, what are we making money for?

Mei Yixuan asked for a plate of peanuts and a glass of sake, and sat on the seat by the window, listening to the conversation of the merchants while paying attention to the movements of the merchants outside.

It's just that what did she hear? Tartar, Northwest, Korea, and unstable places? Could it be that this dynasty was not peaceful?

She remembered that Han Minghai, the mother of the eldest prince Murong Hao, was a first-class Korean duke, commanding 150,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest.

It's no wonder that she thinks too much, the battle for succession in history has always been life and death, and the winner also stepped on countless bones to ascend to the throne of God. Although the emperor has already set up a crown prince, and other princes have also been crowned on the throne, as long as they don't sit on that chair, everyone has a chance. (To be continued.) )
