Chapter 206: The Festival of the Upper Quarter (7)
Sure enough, seeing the arrival of the caravan, the villagers of the five villages could not take care of the previous Yan Song matter, and immediately went home to try to sort out the things in their homes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info all said that these businessmen have sharp eyes and know the quality of things at a glance, and everyone does not dare to step forward, just waiting at the door of Yanfu, holding their own things in their hands and patiently waiting for people to come out.
Inside, Ah Chun and Ah Xia had already prepared refreshments, and the guest rooms had been cleaned in advance, and most of these businessmen had rushed back to their rooms to rest after a day's journey. Only Chen Yue and the old Chen beside him were left to sit in the hall with Yan Song.
"Second son, in fact, the villagers of the five villages are all hospitable, and they have already prepared a wine banquet and brought out fresh vegetables and fruits at home. After everyone rests for a while, they can go outside and enjoy themselves. Yan Song said, helping Ah Chun on the side to bring the tea.
"How can you be sure that I will definitely come?" Chen Yue asked about the fragrance of tea, it was indeed fragrant, and the corners of her mouth hooked and slowly drank it, "If I don't come, all these preparations will be wasted...... In fact, what Yan Song didn't explain is that these vegetables and fruits are already excessive, even if Chen Yue doesn't come, they will only stay in the field and rot when it is time to harvest, naturally they can't lose, of course, she can't say these words to her face.
"Anyway, Gongzi has come to the three villages now, and the people of the three villages are naturally enthusiastic. Yan Song said, pointing to the lights outside the window, it was indeed dark this day, "Childe, tomorrow happens to be the Shangsi Festival, and the village will be very lively, so you can go to the river to have a look." ”
"Shangsi Festival ......" Chen Yue, who is only sixteen years old, is naturally not familiar with this festival, and besides, he grew up on the back of a camel, "I just hope it is not another plan of the girl." I want to talk to the girl about vanilla. ”
Yan Song immediately smiled, sat up straight and said, "Sure enough, the second son is interested." ”
"This herb has such a miraculous effect that no one will not be interested. I think so, the cultivation and picking of herbs will be left to Miss Yan, and then every time it is ripe, I will send someone to pick it up, I wonder what the girl thinks about this matter?"
Yan Song thought for a while and replied, "Childe must have used this herb not only for medicinal purposes, but also for the front line." The front line is already chaotic, and no one can guarantee to carry a single grass with them, so why not make it into pills? ”
"Pills?" Chenyue's fingers were slender, so they looked particularly good when they landed on the cyan tea lid, "You are thoughtful, but can you make pills in this small village?" As soon as the words fell, a person came up from the bottom, probably brought it up by Yan Songrang, who looked like an old man, and his legs and feet were not sharp, so he walked for a long time before he came to the front.
"Childe, this is Uncle Zhou, a well-known craftsman in the five villages, and he likes to play with some gadgets on weekdays. Yan Song said, and asked Ah Chun to bring some of the tricks made by Zhou Bo, and the small boxes actually hide mysteries.
Chenyue suddenly opened a box with interest, the box was empty, but when it was opened again, a grain of rice appeared, and sure enough, it was an interesting thing. Then he saw a box in another place, the box did not have any openings on the outside, but as long as you followed the direction of the painting, the box was like a flower, and the contents were presented one by one, which was really interesting. Most of the things Zhou Bo made were such magical boxes.
"Although Uncle Zhou's legs and feet are inconvenient, his hands are notoriously skillful. These are all things that he researches on weekdays, and I think Gongzi may be able to use them, after all, such things are urgently needed by some dignitaries. What Yan Song was alluding to, Chen Yue naturally knew that this thing could not only keep secrets in it, but also save his life at a critical moment, which was indeed a good thing. The key is in the jade capital or other large towns, such craftsmanship may not be easily found.
Chenyue put everything aside, and then said, "It seems that the girl has made a series of tricks, and she has already prepared everything that should be prepared." ”
"Every thing I recommend to Childe is a kind of curiosity, so naturally I want to do this business with Childe in good faith. ”
Tatsuki's slender fingers slid over every object on the side, and finally said, "Okay, then I'll make an exception and make a deal with you." ”
"Since Childe agreed, can you listen to me again?"
"It's true—" Tatsuki leaned back, leaning back against the back of the chair behind her head and letting out a sigh of relief, "It's not that simple. ”
"In fact, what Yan Song asked for was very simple, I knew that Gongzi's caravan would pass through Jiangnan every year, but I just hoped that the caravan could follow today's road, first passing through the five villages and then going east. ”
"You ...... mind" Chenyue's fingers curled slightly, and then the corners of her mouth hooked slightly to reveal a sly smile, "It's really shrewd, knowing that the caravan will buy fresh fruits and vegetables in Jiangnan, it is to make a fortune before the three villages." ”
"I really can't hide anything from Childe. Yan Song smiled slightly, but didn't dare to show it too obviously, "But this shouldn't have any impact on Childe." If the caravan had gone the usual way, it would indeed have been able to reach the three villages directly, but now that it has passed through the five villages and then to the three villages, this road seems to be more worthwhile. ”
Chen Yue shook her head while looking at the girl who looked dumbfounded, thinking that she was just a little clever, but she didn't expect that she could do it so thoroughly when she thought about things. At the age of sixteen, he traveled from south to north, but he had never encountered anything like this.
That night, everyone in the caravan slept very well under the sweet smell of vanilla, except for one person, that is, Chen Yue, he needed a long time to fall asleep every night, and every morning he would always wake up in his sleep, hanging with teardrops, no one knew what dream he had, even himself, when he woke up, he forgot it, just touched the moist corners of his eyes and felt strange.
His eyes were wet again that night, and the spring night was not particularly quiet, and everywhere he could hear the chirping of insects and the sparse chirping of birds. He put on a single coat and walked in the direction of the river, why did he weep? He touched his moist eyes, shook his head and sighed, and then wrapped his coat tighter again.
The sky was bright, and I could see some of the things around me a little, but the river was foggy. Accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, he seemed to hear a woman whispering by the river, and her voice was very faint as if she was talking to herself, as if she was singing the song "Pu Jia" that women often sang.
"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are ...... on the water side"
Because of the fog, he had to carefully follow the gravel path by the river, and he was afraid that he would fall into the water if he was not careful, after all, he was especially afraid of water. It's just that the more careful he is, the more unsteady his steps become, and he really falls into the water if he is not careful.
