He Guang had actually noticed the commotion over there for a long time, but for various reasons, he didn't go to join in the fun.

Brother Hua was already worried about the situation with a worried face.

Mulan often buys things at the market on this horse foot bridge. There are many people in this bazaar, even if they don't know the famous "Mulan", at least they know Hua Mutuo.

So as soon as Hua Mutuo appeared, everyone almost immediately knew who this Xianbei man who was being pointed and poked by them, and for a while, everyone scattered cleanly.

Leaving He Mulan to touch his face in distress, wondering if he had a hideous appearance and a vicious expression in addition to his rough and dark face, otherwise how could he run away as soon as he knew his identity?

Didn't she say that she forced Gai Wu to retreat in the last martial arts competition and became a hero in the countryside?

It's not the same as saying yes!

"Auntie, do you know who that person is?" He Guang put on his signature gentle and harmless smile, and pointed at He Mullan, who was full of dazed faces.

I have to say that when he saw this "heroic as a god" in his father's mouth, General Hua, who was confused by the villagers, was a little happy.

The aunt had already attracted all the attention of a bead in He Guang's hand, and when she heard this, she glanced up, and her eyes flashed with a curious and fanatical expression: "Yo, I see which noble son you came to the countryside to play. That's Mulan from Yingguo Township! She often wears men's clothes to buy things in the market, and you can see that she is followed by the youngest son of the Hua family."

"If you know it's the heroine, why does everyone avoid it?" It wasn't what he had imagined.

"You don't know...... the aunt lowered her voice and whispered to him mysteriously: "I heard that this Mulan has been recruiting a son-in-law recently, and her robes in the army are forcing others to marry her!" They were afraid that they would get closer, and they would be dragged by those who were soldiers and forcibly married......"

"Presumptuous!" He Guang stood up with a pale face, and Junxiu's face was full of coldness. Yulin in the army, the pillar of the country, how can you crab man pawns be behind you and point fingers! "

"Oh my God! Xiao Langjun, you are really scary......" The aunt patted her chest and looked at He Guang as if she was looking at a neuropath. I've also heard what people say, and I'll answer if you ask, why bother to scare me by acting like an official! "

She probably lost face, and stopped telling him where to buy salt, and bowed her head neither at him nor at his beads.

"It's just a matter of listening to what people say......" He Guang lowered his head and sighed. I often hear that people are terrible, but I often dismiss it, thinking that it is because the person being said is not firm enough. Now it seems that there are times when I don't even want to hear other people's rumors."

It's only been a day, and this Mulan is still such an unpleasant character, what is wrong with him?

He Guang looked at the silk jacket on his body, and then looked at the other villagers wearing jackets made of linen and arrowroot, and regretted that he wore this out.

Occasionally, a few of these people were wearing leather jackets, and whoever they were, as long as they were sellers, crouched on the ground and curled up all of them. If there is a gust of wind blowing at this time, many people will start to ramble in unison, as if agreed.

He squeezed the master in his hand and smiled bitterly and walked towards another merchant selling pickles.

Why pity others, if you can't buy this salt today, he will be smoked to death in that dung pit if he can't do it

He Mulan watched as Hua Mutuo walked towards him.

It's just that the way the little brother Hua walked towards her with the gong bucket was too terrifying, and she thought for a moment that the gong bucket was going to be buckled on her head. So when Hua Mutuo walked in front of her, she was frightened by her own brain supplement and took a few steps back.

"Sister, what happened just now? I seem to see you fighting with people......" Hanakito looked around uneasily, looking around at the people who were looking at them with their peripheral vision. What's the trouble?"

"It's nothing, a misunderstanding has been solved." He Mulan wanted to take the gong bucket from the hand of the little brother Hua, but he blushed and just didn't give it, but instead carried the gong bucket to find Ah Shan Zhuo, who was in charge of the carriage and horses.

"This kid ......" He Mulan looked at the back of the little brother Hua with some emotion.

She knew what he was thinking, but she just thought that "Heroine Mulan's upside down Gong bucket" was too ugly to hear.

Her family is doing everything possible to make her live a respectable life, and she is not unaware.

But even if it's not respected, it's nothing.

Little Brother Hua quickly ran back, and He Mulan followed him, watching him bargain with others with his neck twisted, and looking up at her happily after the deal was confirmed. When she nodded, Hua Mutuo cut off the fine linen or a part of the cotton cloth she had brought with her and gave it to the villagers.

At this time, He Mulan would pick up the things he had bought and deliver them to Armandzhuo's car one by one.

I have to say that there is a person who is very convenient to watch the car, she used to carry it all the time, until she was about to leave the market before putting it back on the car of Huamutuo.

Since it was the last purchase this winter, there were two more guests in the house, and Hua Mutuo gritted his teeth and bought a lot of precious vegetables and melons and fruits such as frozen pears and persimmons.

It wasn't until this time that Shan Zhuo knew what Hua Mutuo was saying about "going out with my sister, just bring someone". When you go out with this "Aunt Hua", you only need to bring someone to bargain and choose something. The money was paid by He Mulan, and the things were carried by He Mulan, and he was very patient even waiting for Hua Mutuo to pick and choose......

Wait a minute......

Why do you always think there's something wrong?

He Guang was very fast. [,！ And he became a weirdo in the market.

Although this little boy who squatted in the market in good clothes and looked for pickle stalls everywhere to start, although he smiled very handsomely, as soon as he made a move, it was a bead bigger than a thumb nail, and none of these villagers dared to sell anything to him.

Such a bead, if it is inlaid on some hairpin for the daughter of the family to wear, it is enough to marry a rich family!

But that also depends on whether the thief will come.

The people who buy and sell in the Majiaoqiao market are acquaintances, and if you get a bead today, tomorrow you will be driven to your house by the whole village to watch the excitement. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, even if you get this cheap, you will never send it in the future.

But there are also bold ones who take the initiative to talk to this little Langjun.

"This little Langjun, what are you going to buy? Talk to the uncle, and the uncle will see if there is any! A lean-looking man in a dogskin coat stopped He Guang.

From afar, Mullan looked over inquiringly. He Guang shook his head at He Mulan and began to talk to him.

"I made a bet with my friend that I could buy ten pounds of salt at this bazaar." He Guang frowned, looking at the beads in his hand in embarrassment, "If I can't buy it back, I can only be willing to lose the bet."

"Yo, it turns out that Xiao Langjun is going to buy salt...... "The capable man laughed.

"Yes, I'm going to buy ten pounds of salt."

The mouth full of yellow teeth made He Guang's stomach a little uncomfortable, and he lowered his head slightly.

He didn't know what Hermulan had asked him to buy salt for, he wasn't familiar with the bazaar, and he didn't know where to buy salt, but he knew, he didn't know, but the people who had been using salt must know where to buy it.

So he kept asking picklers where they bought the salt, just to get the attention of the smugglers who had salt.

Ordinary villagers who sell pickled goods naturally have salt to sell, but if it is a few taels of salt, it is easy, but it is impossible to sell him ten catties and eight catties at once.

In the early days of the Northern Wei Dynasty, although there was no currency and many government decrees were chaotic and tight, the salt industry was always in their own hands, and the people had no right to exploit salt fields or sell illegal salt.

However, the illegal salt was uncontrollable, and the successive years of conquest also made the price of government salt higher and higher, which was used to subsidize military spending, and the number of people buying and selling illegal salt in the countryside increased.

He Guang probably knew that there were a large number of people in the Great Wei who specialized in mining, transporting, and selling salt at the risk of death, but he didn't know that there were people selling salt in the countryside of a medium-sized county like Lianyucheng.

Ten catties of salt is already a big deal in the countryside. The lean man probably didn't expect that someone from the government would send such a young man to buy salt in the market in expensive clothes, and he happily agreed to sell him ten catties of salt, but he would have to come over an hour later to get it in a secluded place under the bridge.

He Guang really wanted to know how they moved, so he agreed without hesitation, and even let him personally look at the beads in his hand, telling him that if he came faster, he would give him both beads in his hand.

When He Guang returned to He Mulan's side and waited, even Hua Mutuo was a little surprised that He Guang bought it so easily.

Due to the stubbornness of the flower father, their family never bought private salt in the market. But they have all seen others buy in the bazaar, and they don't say anything.

He Mullan asked him to buy salt, on the one hand, to see if he was a fool, and on the other hand, to see how good he was at dealing with people.

Salt is not the same as rice and silk, and it is a very tricky commodity. And for him, a noble son who is obviously an outsider, the people who sell illicit salt and the villagers will naturally uphold the heart of jealousy, and will not sell it to him lightly.

But now it seems that this child knows how to use his own advantages very well, and is also good at observing the situation around him, no wonder a person who ran away from home can actually run to Liang County unharmed.

Should she sigh and be terrible?

He Mulan waited with He Guang for a while, and for fear that he would be robbed, he followed him to the foot of the bridge.

It's just that when she saw who was carrying the salt, her eyes widened.

"Bolt the pillars! How are you! "Isn't this the third child under Gao Jinlong!

"Hey, General Hua, are you buying salt?" Seeing that it was He Mulan who came with a young man, the heart that he had lifted finally put into his stomach. Such a big bag of salt, a hundred catties of meat marinated is enough, the boss is worried about fraud, everyone is watching from the side, and only sent him and Ma Daring to come out to sell salt together.

"If I had known it was you, I would have come out with fine salt." The bolt pillar smiled very enthusiastically.

"General Hua, do you know these ...... "smugglers?"

"This is the rangers here, those Lu Shuihu people can retreat obediently, these rangers have seven points of merit." He Mulan was even more surprised than He Guang.

When he heard Mulan praising him, he laughed and forgot to put down the salt on his shoulder. Ma boldly saw that he was an acquaintance, and he smiled even more happily.

"I said, why are you still doing this?" He Mulan disagreed, "His Majesty prohibits the private sale of salt produced in the salt pond in Hedong, and if you do this, it will be terrible if it is discovered!" "

"Where can I eat official salt?" The bolt pillar smiled slightly, "It's not that I said, after so many years of fighting, if it weren't for the grain that my own family could produce, I wouldn't even be able to afford to eat, let alone eat salt. Brothers also need to eat, so you can't keep stealing chickens and dogs."

He Mullan is also willing to persuade, knowing that these rangers will not listen. In addition, she is a modern person after all, and she can't think about the "selling salt to kill your head" thing very specifically, so she didn't say more.

"Where did you get this salt?" He Guang on the side opened his mouth curiously to inquire, causing the bolt pillar to take a few looks, but he didn't take it. [,！ Ignore him.

He Guang wanted to ask more, but He Mulan pressed his shoulder, took out two more beads from his arms, and handed them over.

"Agreed, these are two Hepu beads."

"Tie the pillar, give the things to General Hua, let's go." The tall golden dragon in the distance finally appeared, shouting at them from a few feet away.

The bolt made an "oh" and left the salt bag to leave, but He Mullan grabbed him and stuffed two beads into his hand.

"Today is also a coincidence, friendship is friendship, and buying and selling is buying and selling. You boss doesn't just have a mouth, take it back, don't show your teeth with me."

The bolt pillar originally didn't dare to ask for her beads, but when she heard "your boss doesn't just care about a mouth", he still hesitated, and when he saw Ma Daring's vague excitement, he didn't let go after pinching the pearl, and said "I want salt and go down the bridge to find Ma Daring", and hurriedly ran away.

On the way back, He Guang was even more dull than when he came.

He Mulan thought that he was worried that there would be chaos in his cousin's place, but after hesitating, he comforted He Guanglai:

"Don't worry about the county order, this downstream chivalrous is measured, and he won't be too fierce."

"The man said that the official salt can't afford to eat anymore, is it really so strict?" He Guang couldn't help but ask.

"You can buy a cart of corn for two beads, but only a big bag of salt. It's still private salt." He Mulan didn't ask much about the price when she bought things, so she stretched out her head and asked the little brother Hua.

"Little brother, how did you change the official salt now?"

"A liter of salt, a bucket of rice." Brother Hua shouted out after listening to his sister's question, and asked his sister with some worry: "Sister, this salt is private salt, how can I explain it to my grandfather when I go home?"

"Then don't confess." He Mulan replied casually, "If you are in a hurry, I will say that it was sent by my old friend."

"To be honest, I don't have any way to buy and sell things, every time I go out, I can only take my brother with me. What kind of cloth and corn, liter bucket and two pounds, I have a headache all the time." He Mulan looked at He Guang and said with some emotion: "But I know that His Majesty has been fighting for so many years, and the people are really too bitter."

"When I left my hometown to join the army, two feet of Gebu Shang could be exchanged for four liters of corn. Nowadays, it's hard to even two liters. Food prices are high, and salt prices are even more frightening. It's just that if you don't eat corn and wheat rice, you can fill your stomach with other things, but if you don't eat salt, people will be weak and powerless, and they won't be able to survive at all......" He Mulan looked at He Guang, who listened carefully. Therefore, private salt must be stored. If it weren't for these people who sold smuggled salt, the people would not be able to afford it, and they would have caused even greater trouble."

"You County Order may not know that there are people under his jurisdiction who sell illicit salt ......"

"You mean, swim...... My cousin knows of someone selling illicit salt?"

"Who knows......" Hermulan didn't continue to speculate. Or know, or maybe don't know......"

"As long as someone can't afford to eat official salt, private salt will always be stored."

He Mulan's words seemed to have a great impact on He Guang, so much so that Shan Zhuo's worship of his "Aunt Hua" deepened.

The He family Langjun who can say it in a few words is deep in thought, and sure enough, only Aunt Hua can do it!

For Shan Zhuo, how much salt is sold and how many people have private salt are all things far away from him. What he needs to think about is to practice his martial arts well, and when the military government is put down by the army, he will go from Rong to make meritorious contributions and become the pride of his family.

He Guang is obviously not an ordinary child, because he knows a lot and thinks a lot. Ah Shan Zhuo knew that although the two had the experience of living in the same room, they were still two people who had nothing to do with each other after all, and when He Guang's family came, he would no longer be the polite "Big Brother Adan" in his mouth.

Because of the delay of "private salt", several people did not return home until the afternoon, and at noon they were casually sent with dry food on the road.

When they returned home, Fang and Yuan hurriedly came out to greet each other, and were coaxed back by He Mulan, and the four of them unloaded and got out of the car together, and then put them everywhere in different categories.

He Mulan previously thought that He Guang was a powerless son of a high-ranking family, but what he didn't expect was that he could actually carry a rice bag and carry a frozen pear.

"I've been learning to ride and shoot since I was a child......" He Guang replied to He Mulan's question a little lonely. It's just that I rarely use it."

"There is no reason why it is useless!" When Shan Zhuo heard He Guang's words, he smiled, "I heard that many of the Majesty Guards and Yulin Army are the sons of your Han family!" If you want to be really good at riding and shooting, there is no reason why you can't stand out! "

"Ah Danzhuo, don't talk nonsense, he is a rich and noble family of the Han family, so naturally he wants to be an official, what to do as a soldier!" Hua Mutuo secretly stuffed a large bag of salt into the feed room where the grass and beans were kept, and when he turned around and heard Shan Zhuo's words, he laughed fiercer than him.

"When the time comes, we will call Brother He 'Adult'."

"Who's going to do me a favor......" He Guang was almost crushed by a bag of beans. Your 'Adults'...... I can't hold it! "

At this time, Mullan was moving back to the place the large stones that had blocked the door of his storehouse, and then went back to the storehouse to count the silk brocade and other goods.

There aren't many things in the storeroom, in fact, most of them have been moved to other places for her. But even so, this treasury is much more solid than the treasury of ordinary eunuchs.

"Why don't you buy the land?" Some hoarse male voices came from behind her. Generally, generals are disarmed and return to the field, and they are all made to be a field housekeeper. These dead things are not easy to keep, and they are easy to decay, and they will disappear as soon as a fire blows. If you save zài here, it is better to buy more land and rent it out ......".

[,！ He Mulan was startled by the voice coming from behind him, and when he turned around, it was He Guang standing at the door.

The boy stood there in the backlight, looking like a dark shadow, without eyebrows. He Mulan narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and glanced at it again, closed the lid of the box after confirming that it was correct, and nodded his head back to him:

"I didn't know it was for the best. But...... Not yet."

Not yet, until it's certain that "Mulan" can't return, she won't dispose of these things at will.

Doesn't Mulan know that it is more appropriate to use these things to buy fields? Doesn't she know that being watched every day and being guarded by rangers is not a long-term solution?

But she didn't squander it, and she didn't buy any family business, but she only put so much gold, silver, pearls, cloth, silk and fur here without moving, there must be some reason.

And the half-empty box......

Until she finds a memory of this, she will not do what He Guang did.

"Could it be that General Chenghua has other plans?" He dragged out his tone. For example...... You don't want to stay here......"

In that case, she would naturally have to settle her property in the place where she would live for a long time.

"Well, I've been planning to go on a long trip lately......" Hermulan rubbed his chin. I want to go around and visit my old friends in the army......"

"But now I'm dragging you kid down, I can't say I have to wait until after the beginning of spring."

She pushed He Guang out of the warehouse, put a few big locks on the warehouse, and did not answer He Guang's questions directly.

This kid talks too much, and she has a good sense of humor.

When it was time for dinner, because of the day of traveling, Ah Danzhuo and Hua Mutuo both had a great appetite, and they were like the wild people who had been laid down on the mountain, and they had eaten as many as seven or eight pieces of wheat cakes.

Looking at He Guang again, not only did he not drink the broth, but he didn't even move the vegetables on the table, and only gnawed on the wheat cake.

"What's wrong with you, you don't even eat food?" Shan Zhuo took a bite of the cabbage.

The Chinese cabbage fried in lard boiled with pork fat is particularly sweet, and Ah Shan Zhuo ate several chopsticks, and even ate less meat.

"Nothing...... Probably tired and not much appetite......"

He Guang glanced at the cabbage a few times, and was stunned that he didn't have the courage to hold a chopstick.

"Then again...... He Mulan took a few bites of the wheat cake in his hand, and asked him with some curiosity: "I haven't asked you yet, why did you leave home?"

Looking at his appearance on this day, he doesn't look like a child full of grief and indignation.

"Well......" He suddenly showed a very sad look, and even put down his hand holding his chopsticks. That's because ......"

"My father treats my son much better than he treats me."

"What?"

Hua Mu Tuo and Hua Father almost choked to death from the wheat cake in their mouths.

"Oh my God! Do you have a son?"

This guy's life is too good! He is seventeen years old, and he has not married a daughter-in-law!

"I heard you right......" He Mullan glanced He Guang up and down. How old are you this year? How old is your son?"

She knows that boys in this era are precocious, but they are not precocious to this point!

Leaving behind the young son and wife room at home and running away from home, how middle school is this child!

"I ...... It's fifteen next month." He Guang looked at He Mulan embarrassedly, "Dog ......"

He Mullan looked at him with concern, thinking that he would say "a year old" or "a few months" or something like that.

As a result, He Guang smiled shyly.

"The dog is just three years old this year."

Burst......

Hermulan squirted out a mouthful of broth.

Three......

Three years old?
