The guard looked at a few of his companions and said affirmatively, "Since we have all gathered together, let's work together." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He paused, glanced in the direction of the outside of the courtyard, and then continued, "Let's think about where we can start with the map?" ”

One of his companions lowered his voice and proposed, "Why don't you go to the shops in the town and look for them, there are a lot of shops open in the town of Northland, we may be able to find them." ”

Hearing this, the guard subconsciously nodded and agreed: "Since the young master has been ordered, let's go to the most lively streets in the town......

"Everyone is going to see it."

He looked at each of his companions gathered together.

After seeing the expressions of several people clearly, he continued, "Let's go separately. ”

"I can't think of a better way, so I might as well try it first."

Several people groaned and nodded, no objection.

In recent years, although the town is not far from the battlefield in the north, the people in the town are still preparing for the New Year.

This is logically strange, but it is not surprising that you can feel the atmosphere of the pre-Chinese New Year here.

It is said that before the start of the war in the Northland, there were a large number of residents who had migrated and businessmen who had left the area.

But it was also a gust of wind, and as time went on, the turmoil was suppressed and replaced with another form.

Most of those who can leave leave, and the rest are planning to deal with fate with the Northland.

If it weren't for the impact on the lives of the people in the town, the town not far from the battlefield would be quite peaceful.

I saw that there were many customers coming and going from the shops in the town every day, so I made this proposal after hearing the words of the guards.

The Yuwen family has a lot of people in the town's mansion.

If they act separately, even if they run two more streets, it will be just those shops, which is not too exaggerated.

To say that even if it is in Suzhou, the eldest young master really has an order, they still have to go separately to find and do the task!

It's just that it's in Beidi Town, and the scale is smaller than Suzhou City!

"I was in the building just now, for this...... When he talked to the young master, he almost got angry when he heard it! ”

The guards looked at several of their companions with a sense of apprehension.

"What do you mean?"

The companion glanced at the guard with confusion in his eyes, it is a fact to say that the young master of their family has an indifferent personality, but the number of times he gets angry is actually not much.

"I just told him it was hard to find, and I didn't say much!"

The companion glanced at him speechlessly, then shook his head and said, "Don't you know the young master's personality, in fact, he has always said the same." ”

The companion glanced in the direction of Xiaolou, turned his head to meet the gaze of the guards around him, and said quietly: "We still have little contact." ”

The companion couldn't help but add: "But didn't the Fu Steward who came with him from South Zealand send us a message to mention something?" ”

Hearing this, the guard sighed and said, "Yes, you're right, the Fu steward also specially mentioned it." ”

"I was embarrassed when I heard about the map just now," he said after a pause, "I forgot about it for a while, so I just explained it to him." ”

The guard agreed: "It almost turned out to be ......"

"Don't take it as an example!"

Several people looked at each other and whispered.

"There's definitely no next time, I don't dare to provoke him again!"

The guard replied in the affirmative.

...... The carriage departed from the hillside of the house in the north of the town, and was far away from the gaze of the guards.

The shopkeeper lifted the curtain and glanced in the direction of the house, and it was only at this time that he felt that he had come back to life.

The pressure on his shoulders lightened suddenly.

When he was waiting in the mansion before, his whole person was as if he was hanging there, without a place to stay, and his heart was always up and down.

It wasn't until the attendant who passed by kindly mentioned it, and had an argument with the guards stationed in the mansion, which could be regarded as a reflection of the situation inside, and reminded him a few words by the way.

The shopkeeper had a general idea in his heart, at least he knew that the status of the national teacher beside the empress was really unusual.

But staying in the shop and arriving at the empress's residence to meet those nobles in person was a completely different experience for him after all.

At that time, the stranger who arrived at the store to deliver the drawing paper was a little scary to look at...... Compared with the well-guarded mansion, the location of the empress and the national teacher in the town cannot be compared.

The latter is even more worrying!

The shopkeeper has been worried before leaving, and I don't know if it will be dangerous to send something?!

Fortunately, although there were some unexpected circumstances, it was surviving without danger.

At present, the shopkeeper is holding the scroll tightly in his hand, and his body is sitting extremely upright, and the whole person seems to be tense.

When the car had traveled some distance and turned another street, he let out a long breath and dared to open the scroll in his hand to take a closer look.

Seeing the exact same map of the North drawn on the scroll, the shopkeeper stared at the paper tightly for a while, suspicious.

The stranger who returned to the store came in the name of Wang Shi, and he carried the token in the army with him, which made people have to be frightened.

Out of jealousy, he instructed the shopkeeper to do so.

Before this trip, the shopkeeper had already seen the messenger, and he was almost certain that it was the same person.

Therefore, when he saw the people who were following the National Teacher, he thought it necessary to mention the matter of the previous time.

It's a coincidence, but the question is how can it be so coincidental?

Knowing that someone would be looking for a map of the Northlands in the town, the shopkeeper had doubts in his mind, but not long after he received the painting, a stranger came to visit the shop.

The result was the same as the original point, and the other party was willing to pay money to buy the map.

Will this time the same thing have to be done all over again?

Expect things like gods!

The shopkeeper is a little confused, and the buyer doesn't know where it came from?

Why are those people so interested in topographic maps of the Northlands?

Since it was handed over by Wang Shi, could it be that he is also a person in the army?

That's right, the Northland's location is important, and it is a hot spot for the two sides to fight.

There are also a lot of rumors in this area, the kind of rumors that strangers will find unbelievable.

But the shopkeeper had thought carefully about it afterwards, assuming that if the other party was a subordinate of Princess Fang in the war.

It seems that the shopkeeper definitely doesn't need to make a special trip to Northland.

What time is now, the time when the war is about to resume, this is not like what the other side will do.

If it was really rushed to such a point, what were the odds?!

Topographic survey, location selection...... These should have been planned and laid out in advance, rather than a situation in which things were rushed to deal with in a hurry.

What's more, the people who come to the store are more like strangers passing by the town to do business.

If you think about it deeply, there are more mysteries mixed with it...... The shopkeeper's self-question is not so bright.

Things that can't be easily figured out also involve all aspects...... He made a decision in his mind and decided not to dig deeper.

The drawings I got this time, maybe the buyer will appear soon.

In fact, all he wants to do is make a deal that can make money for himself.

The process is not necessarily cumbersome, he is like waiting for the rabbit to appear in the shop in the town.

Who would be afraid of more silver?

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a good thing to send to the door!

At the beginning, Wang Shi's people may have carefully selected the shops in the town, and it is better to be lucky to be able to choose the shop he opened!

The shopkeeper's second thought about it has something to do with the fact that he has been running a calligraphy and painting shop in the town for the longest time.

The other party must look for a seller with more seniority, and the things sold are more convincing.

His shop is in the middle of the town, and as long as anyone who passes by has the heart to inquire with the people in the town, they will know that his shop is indeed the longest in the town.

The things sold are also more credible.

The shopkeeper retracted his thoughts and focused his gaze on the scroll in his hand.

He could see the brushwork that had gone into the drawing...... I couldn't help but praise a few words in my heart.

He could even tell that the picture was definitely not elaborately carved.

On the contrary, it should not take much time.

As soon as he got his hands on it, he could clearly see that the marks on the paper were very new, and it was clear that the person who wrote the pen had done it not long ago.

He wondered if he had done it in a hurry while he was waiting in the room at the end of the corridor.

...... Concentrated, the shopkeeper's gaze repeatedly swept over the drawing paper, and many questions in his heart were temporarily pressed down.

He had been to the empress's residence, and had heard a conversation between the guards and the attendants, and he had seen with his own eyes the people who were following the national teacher.

Everything reminded him that he should never ask more questions that he shouldn't ask, and even sometimes he couldn't say anything when he was curious.

The safest way is to only do your own thing and complete the other party's instructions!

The shopkeeper knows that this is the most effective way to avoid trouble.

...... The car turned a corner in the street and into an alley that crossed another street, with a clear direction and purpose.

The next stop is the shop in town.

The shopkeeper reached out and took out the bottle that was handed to him by the person next to the national teacher when he was leaving.

The bottle was taken out and handed to him almost as he was about to leave, and he was surprised at the time.

Listening to the tone of the people around the national teacher, it seems that he should know what is stored in the bottle.

The shopkeeper carefully removed the cork and sniffed it close to his nose.

After thinking about it, his expression changed a little.

If it's the same as I guessed, it must be......

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's spirits lifted, and he said to the little guy who was sitting in front of him driving: "Go faster, hurry up to the shop." ”

He thought he was going to test his guesses.

If you guess correctly, what the national teacher ordered his subordinates to hand over to him is indeed something that can be used in the store.

It's a rare thing that takes time to concoct!

...... The carriage stopped in front of a shop on the long street.

Nearby, there are dim sum shops, carpentry shops, garment shops, and a drugstore.

These shops are all along the street, and it seems that each one has a better business than his.

The shopkeeper hurried out of the car and walked quickly into the shop.

The little guy who followed behind him was a few seconds late and got out of the carriage.

He looked at the urgency of his shopkeeper to return to the shop the whole time, he scratched his head, and was a little confused.

I watched the shopkeeper go in under the big tree outside the house before.

While waiting outside the high walls of the deep courtyard, the little maid was also uneasy in his heart.

It must be that the nobleman who lives there gave him something to give to his shopkeeper, right?

He thought secretly in his heart, and heard that the nobles in the palace were more generous.

If you please them, it is common to give them money, food, and even precious things.

The little guy looked at the back of the shopkeeper in a hurry with a hint of envy.

...... The young man guarding the storefront stepped forward to greet him, and the shopkeeper entered the inner room of the storefront without saying a word.

It's a long, narrow room.

In the north corner of the house, an area is deliberately separated for some daily use in the store.

Speaking of which, this corner is not used very often, but every time you need to use it, most of the purpose is to ...... For the calligraphy and paintings sold in the store.

For this industry, it is a basic technology.

The most sophisticated talents in this area are often selected to the palace.

For example, in the Sealand Palace, I heard that there are top craftsmen.

The shopkeeper took the bottle out, weighed it, and then pulled the cork from the mouth of the bottle.

His gaze swept around him, and after hesitation, he reached out and grabbed a small clean plate from the shelf next to him.

The shopkeeper tilts the bottle and pours a little of the liquid into the saucer.

An item is required for experimentation.

The shopkeeper's gaze looked again around the room, and he walked over to his desk, where a pile of papers was piled up on the shelf.

He casually took out a piece of drawing paper from the pile of paper that he had used to practice his pen.

Almost everyone in this industry has similar hobbies, and if it weren't for this, they wouldn't be half an expert, and they couldn't do calligraphy and painting.

Because when introducing to customers, at least you have to be knowledgeable, and what you say can be convincing and make a business.

The shopkeeper usually has hobbies, writing and painting, and the piles of paper on the shelves are the results of his usual pen practice.

Right now, he took out the piece of paper...... It happened to be a picture of flowers and birds that he drew by himself.

It wasn't an item sold in the store, and it was more appropriate for him to use it for testing.

The small saucer was in his hand.

He stared at the paper for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally resolutely poured the liquid from the dish onto the paper.

When he fell, his gestures were still a little shaky, with anticipation.

...... The shopkeeper's eyes widened at the paper, and when he saw the changes on the paper clearly, his eyes widened! (To be continued.) )
