Chapter 22: Clearing the Obstacles

"Congratulations, Brother Zheng!" Yue Xi stopped what he was doing and arched his hand to Zheng Baocai, and said with a smile: "There are many people in the family to be lively, and it is not easy for my sister-in-law, there are old and young, you have to feel sorry for her." ”

"Yes, brother, you said so!" Zheng Baocai pulled over the chair to sit inappropriately, and made it clear that he wanted to have a few words with Yue Xila: "Your sister-in-law, this child is not easy to break, from knowing that she vomited, now it is only more than three months, and she is still early, and I see that the fat girl in my family is so thin that she has lost her appearance!" ”

"If you vomit a lot, go see the doctor, don't drag. Maybe the child is a little older. Yue Xi has never been a mother, and she has no experience in such things as a woman's pregnancy, so she can only comfort Zheng Baocai for a few words: "Drive Baoqi home, you take your sister-in-law into the city to find a good doctor." ”

Father Zheng raised a little donkey after Yuexi snatched the donkey away.

It's just that the little donkey has been raised since he was weaned, and his status at home is higher than that of Zheng Baocai, and he always looks at the donkey as young and reluctant to pull it in a cart.

"That's fine." Zheng Baocai nodded and then asked, "How long will it take for the carriage and horse shop?" My brother picked more than a dozen people, all of whom are good at fighting, and they are also clever, and I have taken them to Cixian twice recently. ”

Yue Xi removed the sheets from the bed in the room, laid out the clean sheets he brought, and sorted them out before saying, "It won't take a few days." ”

"When I came, the mules were bought, and the riders were almost finished, and the carriages were made in a style. Now it's time to buy a store and wait to open. ”

"What did you say to Brother Zheng that day?" Yue Xi took out the sheets that had been changed on the bed and soaked them in water, stood in the courtyard and asked.

"I looked at two places." Zheng Baocai dragged the chair to the door, and the seat was still inappropriate: "One is in the city, and the other is in Xixiang Village outside the city, both of which are quite large, and the price is a lot worse." ”

Xixiang Village is between the grandmother temple and the west of the city, and it is indeed not a few steps away from the imperial capital. Many foreign merchants have settled here, and the prosperity is not lost to the west of the city.

"Buy one out of town."

The reason why Yuexi chose Xixiang Village, which is separated by a wall from the imperial capital, is not to be cheap. It's that her current identity is extremely embarrassing, and she was taken to the nest by King Chengping, and she didn't want to be careful.

This Xixiang Village is outside the city, but she finally has a place to settle down, and it is far away from the eyes of those people in the imperial capital, and she can move more freely in the future, which is the main thing.

"Then let's go over and have a look?" Zheng Baocai heard that the business of the carriage and horse shop was about to open, and his heart was also lively, and it was not easy to mix in the city recently, General Zhaoyi said that he had won the battle and suppressed the bandits, and it was unknown whether the bandits had eliminated him, but it was obvious that there were too many idle people.

And these groups are very powerful, although they only mix in the east of the city, and they don't violate the river with Zheng Baocai, but the people on both sides are mixed in the imperial capital, and it is inevitable that there will be a time to meet.

Zheng Baocai has already fought with this group twice, although he didn't suffer a loss, he didn't take advantage.

Now the result is a lose-lose situation!

Such a fight is meaningless to Zheng Baocai.

He knows the patience of his group, so he has no intention of expanding, and just wants to guard the land in the west of the city to eat and drink enough to support the elderly.

Now that I have a serious business like a carriage and horse shop, that's the best!

can eat a bowl of down-to-earth rice, who wants to live that kind of life of fighting and killing?

"Let's take a trip, then!"

Seeing that it was still early, Yue Xi and Zheng Baocai went out of the courtyard together, and after locking the courtyard door, she directly received the key in her arms: "When I leave, lock the door, put the key in the kitchen stove, Brother Zheng go over the wall and go in to get it." ”

"Done." There are nothing of value in the courtyard except for a few rooms and simple furniture, and Zheng Baocai is not afraid of thieves. It was nothing for the master who shook his fist every day to turn over the wall, he nodded immediately.

"Hey, brother, did you make a mistake?" The donkey cart ran south after the alley, and Zheng Baocai looked around and reminded.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, didn't you say it, I caused some trouble......"

……

Eighty-five taels of silver, bought a broken yard twice as large as the courtyard of the Chu family, and even returned a small piece of wasteland behind the courtyard to Yuexi.

After completing the procedures for the transfer of the deed, Yue Xi immediately found a craftsman to come back and settle it.

The affairs of the carriage and horse shop cannot be delayed for a day.

If the mule is not raised, it will consume forage every day, and Zheng Baocai's subordinates here are also swaying.

So as soon as the house in Xixiang Village was bought, Yue Xi didn't stop for a moment, and invited enough people to come back to help clean it up.

This matter looks complicated, but she is not short of silver, and the money will naturally have an effect when it is spent.

At the beginning of June, the carriage and horse shop officially opened.

Yue Xi gave it a very common name, 'Taiping Bureau'.

There is nothing more fortunate than being able to live a peaceful life with your wife......

The car was on the road, and the business was as Yue Xi thought: it was to sweep money everywhere!

There are many villages along the road from Cixian to the imperial capital, but there are few cars and horses in the past, and it is not easy to go to the emperor not far away.

Now the carriages and horses of the Taiping carriage and horse shop are running on the official road, which simply solves the urgent needs of the people along the way.

Moreover, Yue Xiding's fare is also fair, from Cixian to the imperial capital only 80 Wen, and the number of people who get on the bus along the way will be reduced.

This is much more reliable than those temporary rides along the way, and they will not force people to increase the car money halfway, and even more so, there are things that will drive people off the bus halfway after taking the car money, which will not happen in the Taiping car and horse.

The popularity of the business will naturally attract the eyes of some people, which was also expected by Yue Xi.

"Today, I was stopped by the inn on the road, the shopkeeper of the inn

Stay, the innkeeper also said that if we don't take a break from their shop next time, he will smash our car! ”

The car sent the guests to the West City Gate of the imperial capital, and when the guests got off the car, the handlebar drove back to the courtyard of Xixiang Village.

After unloading the carriage, feeding the mules with forage and drinking water, he entered the main house with the man who escorted the car, and complained to Yue Xi while drinking water after paying the money collected.

Yue Xi, the innkeeper in the mouth, is no stranger, he is the shopkeeper of the black shop where he once stayed for one night.

"Brother Zheng, let's go take a look?" She turned her head to Zheng Baocai and whispered.

"Brother, I'll just go, take a few people, beat the old boy who doesn't open his eyes, and beat him up!" Zheng Baocai said disapprehantly.

"The shopkeeper of that inn is a local resident, how many people do you bring over to convince everyone in that village?" Yue Xi asked with a smile.

"Otherwise, brother, I'll set a fire, and if he misses the inn on his dog day, see if he dares to stop our car!" Zheng Baocai thought about it again and said loudly.

"The inn is gone, he can still dig a pit on the road, if it really pits, wouldn't it be worth the loss for our carriage and horses and the guests in the car?"

"According to what you say, brother, we are afraid of them when we do serious business?"

"Huh!" Looking at Zheng Baocai, who was stalking his neck and slapping the case, Yue Xi smiled and said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, Brother Zheng, you will know the quality." ”

Zheng Baocai stopped talking.

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, but we're doing a long-term business, and since we have made a move, we have to clean him up completely, so that we can get rid of it."

"So, brother, what do you mean?" Zheng Baocai touched his head and asked.

"Let's go over and have a look." Yue Xi got up and walked outside.

"It's getting dark!" Zheng Baocai raised his eyes and glanced out the window, and hurriedly chased her out.

……

"How many people are we going to bring?" Sitting on the donkey cart, Zheng Baocai looked at both sides of the dark road and asked in a low voice.

"At this time, I brought too many people, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter his black shop." When Yue Xi said this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zheng Baocai: "This time I was negligent." ”

"What's wrong?" Zheng Baocai asked puzzled.

"Brother Zheng, you have a family and a job, and you are going to have a child soon, so you should stand aside for such a thing in the future."

"In the past, my brother also had a family, a job and a son, didn't he live such a life? You go to the west of the city and ask, who did the fighting brother crawl through? ”

Zheng Baocai replied with a pout.

Yue Xi grinned at him, his teeth were snow-white in the night: "Break that mess first, and there will be no fight along the way!" ”

stepped on the moonlight and went out, but Yue Xi did not do anything to enjoy the wind and moon.

At that time, two people who had been on the road for half the night stood at the closed gate of the black shop.

"Go in and start fighting, don't say anything!" Yue Xi instructed in a low voice.

"Yes!" Zheng Baocai rolled up his sleeves, picked up the hem of his robe and nodded at her.

'Papapa...... Yue Xi raised his hand and knocked on the door of the inn.

"Who?" A moment later, an impatient cry came from through the door, still with a deep sense of sleep.

"Those who stay in the house will feed the cattle with forage by the way." Yue Xi replied softly.

"What a fucking trouble, come to stay at this time...... The unclean voice quickly arrived at the door, and a glimmer of light leaked out of the crack in the door, Yue Xi nodded at Zheng Baocai.

Zheng Baocai raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists.

"How many people?" The door didn't open, and the other party only asked cautiously inside.

"Two, our brothers just want a guest room, the main thing is that the livestock can't walk, or this is not far from the emperor, and I can deal with the past...... Yue Xi sighed, as if he was really distressed about the money for the accommodation.

"There are guest rooms, livestock forage is counted, there is no food now, and the fire will not start until the morning......" Only one of the two door panels was opened, and the disheveled guy stood at the door with a lantern with an impatient face, Yue Xi raised his leg and kicked it over, directly on the guy's stomach!

Before the man could understand what was going on, the man had already fallen backwards, and Yue Xi rushed to him in two steps, first stomped on the lantern that had been lit, and then kicked down the guy who was able to get up!

"Shopkeeper's ......" The guy only shouted half a sentence and then lost his voice, and was knocked unconscious by a stick that Yue Xi followed.

"Howling!" A fierce shout came out of the main room, Yue Xi pointed at the door of the house, Zheng Bao realized, and the two of them stuck to the left and right.

A sound of kicking and trampling footsteps soon reached the door, the door was opened suddenly, and a big man with a bare upper body took a vicious step out, and was kicked back by Yue Xi and Zheng Baocai at the same time!
