Chapter 109: The Gao Family
Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of Eryu I marry!
The story of the Gao family's caravan being forcibly bought and sold was spread into the city half a day later.
Xuan Yu Feng smiled slightly when she knew the news, the reason why she agreed so readily to accompany her niece to the western Xinjiang was that in addition to really loving Sheng Weiqiao, she had the intention of standing forward.
At this moment, I am satisfied to see Rong Sleeping Crane fulfill his promise and fight competitors.
However, he also followed the henchmen to discuss: "Calculate the time, our caravan should be almost there?"
Left and right said: "It's almost there." Because the whole country has been in good weather in the past two years, the general price of grain is not high, according to the total price agreed with the king of the county before, I bought too much at once, and the carriages and horses prepared earlier were not enough, so I delayed the road for a few days, otherwise it is estimated that I have arrived in Yizhou at this time. ”
Thinking of what happened to the Gao family, he couldn't help but be a little worried, "Old lady, the Gao family will definitely not give up after suffering such a loss! You said that when our caravan came over, what should General Meng do if he secretly sent the Northern Xinjiang Army to kill him halfway?"
"You can all think of this, Mi Zhen can still count it in his heart?" Xuan Yu Feng said safely, "We are not good at this kind of thing as Mi Zhen, and we will see him deal with it." ”
She was light and breezy here, and Meng Jiaqian, who was waiting for the support to arrive, received the news, but was almost fainted again.
simply invited a doctor to prick the needle in time, and Meng Jiaqian breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to the subordinate who told him that it was the head of the Gao family's caravan who asked to see him.
"It's useless for him to come to see me at this time, when it comes to the things in Mizhen's hands, where do I need to come in this situation now?" Meng Jiaqian heard the news, and his heart was bored again, and he said, "I knew this was the case, I should have asked Ni Jidao to bring someone to greet me." ”
"Ni Jidao and the others are afraid of the king of Mizhen County like a tiger, if they go to guard the caravan and meet the people of the county king, eighty percent of them dare not speak out. Comforting him left and right, "We are short of manpower, and this time there is nothing to be done." Fortunately, it was only a little baggage, and the subordinates only inquired, this is the first time that the Gao family caravan has taken this road, so the things they bring are not much, even if they are bought by Mi Zhenqiang at this time, the loss is not big. ”
He also said, "In any case, the Gao family has come all the way, and the general should always meet and appease them at this time." ”
Meng Jiaqian calmed down and said, "I'll take care of it." ”
At that moment, he called his subordinates to come up and freshen up for himself, and after tidying up, he went to the flower hall with a strong spirit, and summoned the principal of the Gao family's caravan to come in and talk.
When the principal came in, Meng Jiaqian was taken aback, although it was inconvenient to salute because of his injury, he also hurriedly bowed his body and said, "Uncle, why are you here in person?"
In fact, even Rong Sleeping Crane didn't expect that the Gao family's caravan was actually led by the head of the family, Gao Heyi.
This is Rong Sleeping Crane, after all, his foundation is shallow, and the powerful people under his hands know very limited.
Gao Jiyi, as the head of the Gao family in Jiangnan, is considered a person at the level of calling for wind and rain in Jiangnan, but it is nothing when he arrives in Chang'an. Rong Mianhe and his party have never stayed in Jiangnan, although they have stayed in Chang'an with Gao Yiyi for a while, but this head of the Gao family is far from being as flamboyant and domineering as his wife Meng Bichen and his only son Gao Chengxuan, so even the people on the Meng family's side may not know him.
Like Rong Sleeping Crane's side, Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife didn't know each other about the head of the Gao family, and the subordinates sent to sell it were even more unclear, Gao Heyi casually reported a fake name, and he was fooled.
Speaking of which, Meng Jiaqian, a native of the Meng family in northern Xinjiang, was able to recognize this cousin because Gao Heyi personally went north for some things two years ago, and when he met with Meng Boqin, Meng Jiaqian served tea beside him, so he knew it.
At the moment, he was busy asking people to change into good tea for entertaining distinguished guests, and complained about Gao Yiyi, "Now that Mizhen is powerful and ambitious in the western frontier, why does my uncle still have to risk himself?"
When he said this, he muttered in his heart, don't Chang'an or Northern Xinjiang have any important advice, it is so important that he personally came to be the messenger?
Or, for his failure during this time, the family didn't just scold him in a letter, did he send an elder to announce the punishment?
Meng Jiaqian's heart was full of ups and downs, but because Gao Heyi was not surnamed Meng in the end, he believed that it was impossible for the family to hand over Xijiang to a person with a foreign surname, it can be seen that even if the family wanted to borrow Gao Heyi's hand to clean him up this time, Meng's representative in Xijiang was still him Meng Jiaqian, and he still had a chance, so he would not lose his temper on the spot.
"The situation in western Xinjiang has a bearing on the overall situation. How can I rest assured that I won't go to such a big event in person?" Gao Heyi took the tea handed by his subordinates and took a sip, frowned with some disgust, and replied, "I heard that you were seriously injured a few days ago, and then you rushed to the west, and it was not easy to support you to the western frontier, but I don't know how your injuries are now?"
Meng Jiaqian was ashamed and said: "I still need to recuperate for a few days." ”
Gao Yiyi said: "I brought a five-hundred-year-old ginseng this time, which was originally specially for you to replenish your body, but I just asked Mi Zhen's subordinates outside the city to turn out of the carriage secretly, and I just lost a few pennies and bought it." So you'll have to wait another three or five days. ”
"Uncle, this is all nephew's incompetence. Meng Jiaqian thought that Gao Heyi was complaining, and hurriedly said, "After my nephew recovers from his injury, I will definitely avenge my uncle!"
"What's so hateful about this?" But to his surprise, Gao Yiyi shook his head when he heard this, and said safely, "This caravan, I specially gave it to Mi Zhenqiang to buy and sell. He sent someone to do this, and it was right in my hands! If I don't, I won't be at ease!"
Meng Jiaqian was surprised and said, "Why did my uncle say this?"
Not to mention his own injuries, he is waiting for the best medicinal materials such as five-hundred-year-old ginseng to nourish him, let's just say that the people under his hands were only robbed of most of the baggage by Rong Sleeping Crane, and Ni Jidao was still being watched and did not dare to replenish it easily, but they were all counting on the Gao family caravan to fill the loopholes after they arrived.
"Although I am the head of the Gao family, the Gao family has been in business for several generations, and there are many children and many elders. Gao Yiyi calmly explained, "I, the head of the family, can't be like Sheng Xinzhang, the head of the Nanfeng Sheng clan, and say nothing!"
Meng Jiaqian hesitated: "What does uncle mean ......?"
"Earlier, I proposed that others should not be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, but in the clan, the Gao Jialuo family is also a Jiangnan Wang family, and the ancestors have had many marriages. Not to mention that the Luo family and the Gao family have stood side by side for many years, and they have a profound background, and they are not easy to deal with. Gao Yiyi said kindly, "Although the Gao family relied on the power of the Meng family and suppressed the Luo family in Jiangnan, they did not kill them all. ”
"But now, because of the marriage between the Luo family and the Sheng family, they will come to carve up the Western Xinjiang trade route in the near future. ”
"If there is no movement in the Gao family, there will still be a foothold for my Gao family in Jiangnan in the future?!"
He smiled slightly when he said this, "With such a reason, not only the Gao family will agree to attack the Luo family next. Presumably your grandfather and they would have agreed. So don't worry, that five-hundred-year-old ginseng was also discovered by someone who deliberately called Mi Zhen, after all, you are seriously injured at this time, the Gao family is the husband's family of your cousin, and since the caravan is coming, how can you not bring something specially for you?"
"I sent another henchman, with rare medicinal herbs such as old ginseng, far behind. ”
"It will be there in about three or five days, and then I will ask the doctor here to see the quality and use it for you!"
Meng Jiaqian was surprised and delighted when he heard this, because although Gao Eryi's move was aimed at the Luo family, it was also very beneficial to his cousin.
After all, the Luo family is now married to the Sheng family, and the Meng family and the Gao family want to deal with the Luo family, so they have to burn the fire to the Sheng family. So whether the Sheng family in Nanfeng County is targeted, or the Western Xinjiang trade route jointly controlled by the three powerful families in Nanfeng County and the Luo family is targeted, it is a good thing for Meng Jiaqian anyway.
"It's just that my uncle is still too risky. He was happy, but he felt strange again, because just like this, it seemed that there was no need to let Gao Yiyi personally take risks?
So Meng Jiaqian said tentatively, "Although Mizhen and his wife are young, they basically don't know their uncle. However, the world is unpredictable, in case the news of my aunt's father coming to Yizhou is known to them, I am afraid that with Mizhen's ruthlessness, it will be unfavorable to my uncle. ”
For example, he said, "Yizhou's former old parents died a few days ago when they were about to leave Western Xinjiang. ”
"Over the years, it has been said that the army and government affairs in Western Xinjiang have been very relaxed. Gao Heyi didn't answer this question directly, but said lightly, "But what I've seen along the way, most of the places are not very desolate." There are still a lot of businessmen from Tiannan and Haibei. On the way into town, I even saw someone selling lynx cubs. ”
The lynx resembles a leopard, but has a more supple temperament than a leopard.
According to records, the nobles of the former dynasty often trained him as a hunting assistant. Especially the female dependents, think that it is more outstanding and cute than the hound, and cats are always cleaner than dogs, which can be described as a boudoir and a hunting ground.
Although the atmosphere of this dynasty is open, the martial style of the ladies is not as good as that of the previous dynasty, so there are not many noble ladies and noblewomen who raise lynx in the boudoir. In a place like Western Xinjiang, where the customs of the former dynasty are still remnants, there will be people who come out to sell lynx cubs...... But it also shows that there are many wealthy people in this place.
Otherwise, ordinary hunters will become with hunting dogs, and they will not raise lynxes that are more delicate and difficult to train than hunting dogs.
If this kind of cub is used for breeding, it can't be raised without a little net worth.
Since there are people selling in the western Xinjiang, passers-by are also accustomed to it, obviously although this place is deserted, it is not as poor as the Central Plains imagined.
For Jujia, this means business opportunities.
"I only hate that I have not recovered from my serious injuries at this time, and I am at a disadvantage, and I can't get justice for my uncle. Meng Jiaqian heard it, and co-author Gao Yiyi not only wanted to deal with the Luo family, but also took a fancy to the profits of the Western Xinjiang Trade Route. This time, he came in person, and eighty percent was still to inspect the trade route and get his promise.
He didn't do business, and he needed all kinds of support, so he immediately said without hesitation, "If I can be the master of the house in Western Xinjiang, I will naturally ask my uncle for guidance!"
Gao Heyi nodded with satisfaction, and said with a pleasant face: "You don't have to be anxious, Mizhen is not in harmony with King Gaomi, and he has his brother and son in front, so at this time, he is basically getting rid of King Gaomi and doing it alone, how can he compare with you with your back to the Meng family? Even if he takes the lead, it is not difficult for us to regain the advantage, I came this time, not only to inspect the businessmen in the western Xinjiang, but also to give you a hand, you listen to me......"
While their aunt and nephew were muttering here, the lynx cub that Gao Yiyi casually mentioned had already been brought into the backyard of the Thorn Mansion.
Xuan Yu Feng smiled and called Sheng Weiqiao to him: "Look at you, Wu Da sent us away, is it fun?"
Sheng Weiqiao glanced at it, not very interested: "Auntie, my family also raised this thing in the house in Nanfeng County." Did you forget?"
"That's just a pet, just look at it, at most touch it. Xuan Yu Feng said, "This is a cub, and it can be domesticated to help hunting." ”
She said excitedly, "Didn't we just learn how to ride? Go back and practice the bow and arrow, Master Wu said, in a few days, when we are more proficient in bows and horses, take us out of the city for autumn hunting!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to Ni Yanying and said, "Yanying, you also study with us, how boring is it to stay at home all the time?"
"...... Sheng Weiqiao really wants to say that aunt, you said a few days ago that you can't stay in Xijiang for a lifetime, and you will leave after a while, even if the lynx grows faster than a person, according to your urging me, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive it and be a helper for you, okay?"
However, looking at Xuan Yu Feng's elated appearance, she swallowed the words wisely, and said with a dry smile, "Cheng!"
Their hunting plan was reported to Rong Sleeping Crane the next day, and Rong Sleeping Crane complained to his wife: "I am busy all day long, and you still think about hunting." ”
asked Sheng Wei Qiao to kiss a few more times as comfort.
When the two were giggling and laughing, someone from the door told them that there was a team with supplies coming from Chang'an and asking to see Rong Sleeping Crane.
"It's here so soon?" Rong Sleeping Crane thought it was the baggage promised by the Yue family at this time, and he was a little surprised, so he stayed and frolicked with his wife and went to see it in person.
Who knows, after going to see it, I realized that I was mistaken.
If you see the refreshing, you will go to the [apex.]
