Cen Wenhan stayed here with Uncle Qiao for more than a year, and on this day two merchants who received leather goods came from outside the mountain, after Cen Wenhan took these two people to the yard, Uncle Qiao happily talked to these two people, one of them was surnamed Xiao, the eldest in line, with a big beard covering his whole face, not tall, not small voice. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info another surname Xi, called Xi Jiu, this person looks like a scholar. These leather merchants had to go to the mountains to collect the skins every year, and Uncle Qiao sold the skins he had collected from hunting to these merchants in exchange for some daily necessities.

Few people come in the mountains, Uncle Qiao saw the two of them coming here and quickly prepared tea for the two, the three of them sat down in the courtyard and chatted, Uncle Qiao can't see outsiders in the mountains all the year round, at this time he is of course happy that someone comes, especially some people can bring him news outside the mountain, the three of them chatted in the courtyard Cen San cleaned up the animal skins in the house, and I don't know what Xi Jiu thought of, "I heard that King Yan raised troops in the name of 'Qingjun side'." ”

Uncle Qiao asked puzzledly, "What is the 'Qingjun side'?" ”

Xiao Da said: "It is to clean up the traitors around the emperor." ”

"Are there traitors around the emperor?" Uncle Qiao still didn't understand a little.

Xiao Da and Xi Jiu both laughed and didn't answer, and then Uncle Qiao looked at Cen Wenhan who was playing with the dog on the side suspiciously, and Cen Wenhan said when he saw that Uncle was looking at him: "This is just an excuse for rebellion, he just wants to be the emperor." ”

As soon as Cen Wenhan's words fell, Xiao Da and Xi Jiu laughed, and Uncle Qiao shook his head and said, "You literati have the most fancy intestines, and you don't have to say anything inconsequential." ”

Xiao Da looked at Cen Wenhan and said, "Has this little brother ever read? ”

Uncle Qiao hurriedly replied: "When he was young, I sent him to a private school for a few years, and he could read a few words, so that he would not be as old as me. ”

Xiao Da looked at Cen Wenhan at this time and said, "Little brother, we haven't seen each other before, when did you come?" ”

Uncle Qiao just wanted to help Cen Wenhan answer, Cen Wenhan immediately replied: "I only came last year, my hometown was flooded and there was no food, my parents sent me to Uncle to live, and I will go back when the situation at home improves." ”

Uncle Qiao, who was sitting on the side, was also relieved to hear him answer, it seems that this kid is really smart, and he doesn't leak a drop of words, Xi Jiu next to him glanced at the sky, "It's not too early to see the sky, let's collect the goods and hurry!" Xiao Da next to him also agreed, so he settled the price of the animal skins received with Uncle Qiao, and after calculating the price, Xi Jiu took some salt, cloth and other things from the bag on the horse's back to offset the goods, and then Uncle Qiao saw him take a pair of gourd bottles out, "Brother Xi, can this pair of gourd bottles be counted for me as goods?" ”

Xi Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I bought this pair of bottles for home furnishings, what is the use of Qiao Dan taking this?" ”

"Brother Xi doesn't know, I have everything in the mountains but lack everything, if you want to buy some containers and the like, it is not easy to bring them into the mountains, and there are a lot of broken ones on the road, I think Brother Xi's pair of gourd bottles can just be used for me to fill medicine, so I want to ask Brother Xi to count it in the price of leather goods." Uncle Qiao seems to be very interested in these two gourd bottles.

Xi Jiuyi heard that this was also reasonable, it was not easy to buy some porcelain from outside the mountain, the mountain road was not easy to walk, and the porcelain would be broken if he was not careful, so he immediately gave Uncle Qiao the leather money to calculate.

At this time, it was still early, and the two leather merchants bundled the leather goods received from Qiao Da and put them on horseback, and today they had a lot of harvest, and the two of them happily said goodbye to Qiao Da and the two went to the mountains.

After watching the two leather merchants walk away, Uncle Qiao turned his head and said to Cen Wenhan excitedly: "San'er, if Uncle didn't guess wrong today, our two fathers are lucky." ”
