"This is our quotation disk, please take a look." The steward politely held a booklet, looked at Zhu Yuenuan with inquiry, and said with a smile, "Before I arrived at Qimen, I heard that there was a great lady in Qimen County, I don't know if it is Mrs. You?" ”
"My husband is indeed the county commander of Qimen, but, I can't afford to be great." Zhu Yuenuan replied lightly, pulled the booklet and looked at it carefully.
The pamphlet is written with the words "Ryo Family Firm" in Kokefu, but the seal stamped underneath is from Kyoto.
"Nuan Nuan, who's here?" Chu Yitong rode a horse and arrived with the crowd, and when he saw Zhu Yuenuan talking to the steward, he waved his hand slightly, got off the horse and walked quickly behind Zhu Yuenuan.
The crowd quickly dispersed to both sides, surrounding the thirty or so people, while alerting the surrounding situation.
"Husband, it's the Liang family firm of Gaoqi Mansion." When Zhu Yuenuan heard this, she immediately took two steps back, only then turned around to meet Chu Yitong and handed over the booklet in her hand, "Kyoto's seal." ”
Chu Yitong's eyes were slightly condensed, flashing on her face, and she looked down at the booklet.
"This is Lord Chu?" The steward stepped forward, bowed down respectfully at Chu Yitong, and made a big salute.
Zhu Yuenuan subconsciously took a step forward and protected Chu Yitong.
Chu Yitong read it, handed over the booklet in his hand to the catcher on the side, walked two steps side by side with Zhu Yuenuan, looked at the steward and asked, "Where are you from?" ”
"We're from Lianggong Province." The steward replied seriously, said to step aside, waved his hand to let the things on the car lift the oilcloth above, "I brought some dry goods from Lianggong, half of them have been sold all the way, because I heard that the Qimen is now rising, and the mountain ginseng here is excellent, so we came, and asked the adults to allow me to wait for a store in the Qimen." ”
"What do you want to do for a living?" Chu Yitong asked gently.
"Dry goods." The steward said with a smile, "Our Liang family firm deals in all kinds of goods, everything, but on the way here, I already know that there is a north-south goods store in Qimen, and it is not easy to rob other people's business if you are new to it, so we will do dry goods, send and receive transactions." ”
"In that case, let's go in." Chu Yitong nodded, looked at the convoys, and raised his finger, "However, these need to be checked one by one before you can enter the city." ”
"As it should be." The steward nodded hurriedly, sideways and out of the way of his own people, with a posture of letting the inspection.
Seeing this, everyone put away the weapons in their hands without the slightest hesitation and retreated to the side.
Zhu Yuenuan couldn't help but look at it a few more times, not daring to relax a little.
Chu Yitong's side raised his hand and waved, and the others immediately took action, stepped forward one after another, and began to carefully inspect the car and horse.
The group of personnel was indifferent, standing aside and letting the catchers check it.
It took more than half an hour, and the sky gradually darkened, and the examination was completed.
"Your Excellency, it's all dry goods, and there's nothing wrong with it." The catchers have returned.
"Let it go." Chu Yitong nodded, pointed to the album of famous dishes that he was holding quickly, and said to the steward, "I'll take this away for the time being, and the Ming ** will come to the county office to register." ”
"Master Xie." The steward had no objection, and he responded very obediently, reorganized his outfit and entered the city, and when he passed the two people who were guarding the city, the steward politely apologized.
"My lord, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let them in?" Chu Yitong's side looked at their backs worriedly and asked.
"They came to open a store for business, and they have a famous dish for customs clearance, there is no problem with the goods, and they are not allowed to enter the city, who else in this county will dare to open a store in the future? If the shop is not prosperous, how can the door prosper? Zhu Yuenuan explained softly on the side, "It's better to let them in, it's better to put them under your nose than to let them scatter outside and hide in the dark." ”
Chu Yitong smiled slightly and did not refute her words.
As the night deepened, the candles in the house flickered slightly.
Zhu Yuenuan finished washing, her long hair was slightly wet, and she sat in the room in her home clothes, lighting the carbon fire in the furnace.
Chu Yitong pushed the door in a cold air, holding a letter of worship in his hand, with a slight joy on his face.
"What's the good news?" Zhu Yuenuan raised her head, and when she saw his appearance, she greeted him with a smile.
"The letter from Yuecha just delivered." Chu Yitong handed the greeting post in his hand to her, and brushed Zhu Yue's warm hair, slightly displeased, "It's cold in Layue, why are you wetting your hair?" ”
"Just a little, out of the way." Zhu Yuenuan responded casually, looking down at the post.
There was also a piece of letter paper sandwiched inside the prayer post.
As soon as she opened it, Zhu Yuenuan's eyes lit up in surprise: "Uncle's people?!" ”
"Yes." Chu Yitong smiled, turned behind her, opened his fingers slightly, and combed her long hair like a comb, while saying, "Do you want to meet?" ”
"Now?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at him in surprise.
"Hmm." Chu Yitong smiled and nodded, "Go to Zhu Ji." ”
Zhu Yue smiled warmly, put away the letter paper, walked to the oil lamp and lit it, and waited until the fire was about to burn to his fingers, then let go of his hand, and looked down at the fire gradually extinguishing after devouring the last piece of paper.
"Wear more." Chu Yitong let go of his hand, his eyes gently turned around her, and admonished.
Zhu Yuenuan walked quickly to the wardrobe, took light clothes and changed them on, and tied them up casually.
"Go through the corner gate." Chu Yitong stretched out his hand and led Zhu Yuenuan all the way out, but instead of going to the main gate, he took her to the corner gate, where Shi Chun was guarding.
"Your Excellency, Ma'am." When Shi Chun saw the two of them, he immediately gave them up.
"You don't have to follow, let's go out and be back in an hour." Chu Yitong commanded.
Zhu Yuenuan looked at him in surprise and said nothing with a smile.
"Yes." Shi Chun looked at Zhu Yuenuan and responded obediently.
There was silence on the street, only the red lanterns of Changhua Street hung high in the distance, and the cold wind came out of nowhere, swirled halfway down, swept the door of the two people, and whirred away.
Chu Yitong tightened Zhu Yuenuan's hand, glanced sideways, and quickened his pace.
Zhu Yuenuan cooperated to keep up.
The doors of the Zhu Ji North and South Goods Store were closed, and a row of red lanterns hung high at the door were bright.
The two did not approach, but turned the corner nearby, passed through the alley next to it, and came to the back door of the goods store.
Chu Yitong raised his hand and knocked lightly five times, three long, one short and one long.
Immediately, the same response came from inside, and immediately after, the back door opened, and Feng Li, dressed in a black robe, appeared behind the door.
Chu Yitong turned his head sideways and smiled lightly at Zhu Yuenuan, tightened his hands, and entered the door first.
As soon as the two entered, Feng Li immediately closed the back door, and then took two steps ahead to lead the way.
"Have you arrived?" Chu Yitong asked gently.
"Inside." Feng Li's usual words are like gold, and he led the two of them to a room, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
In the room, in addition to Yuecha, there were two people sitting. R1152
