Chapter 081
In the winter, the mountain warehouse is also replaced with cotton paper brushed with tung oil, because it is thick, and the light transmission is poor.
Zu Gongluo sat outside the cabinet, and the silver cho on the tea stove in front of him was bubbling hot, but it was not tea, but medicine.
The shopkeeper Lao Tie stood in front of him with a crying face, coughing a few times from time to time, his eyes were red, and his face was gray.
Grandpa said lightly: "Is the old guest still in the town?" ”
Lao Tie nodded: "Here, how can he leave if the matter is not resolved, what a big deal." ”
Zu Gong coughed tightly when he heard him, and said to the square stool Nunu on his side: "You can sit too, even if you have a lot of money, you won't be in a hurry like this, and you don't sleep or eat, when you are still in your early twenties." ”
Lao Tie suddenly wiped his eyes, and said hoarsely: "I have been a shopkeeper in the mountain warehouse for almost twenty years, and I have never made such a big mistake. ”
Zu Gong pressed his eyebrows slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't he inspect the goods at that time?" ”
Lao Tiedao: "Inspected, and then handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and after two clearances, he pressed the goods and left, and came back to me without much effort out of the warehouse, saying that we dropped the bag for him, and what was even more annoying was that he also stabbed this to the grandmother, alarming the grandmother, I am guilty." ”
Grandpa waved his hand slightly: "Grandma didn't blame you in the slightest, in this way, you make an appointment with that old guest, find a convenient place for me to meet him, and you have to pay close attention to the goods he returns." Remember, no one can touch it but me. ”
Lao Tie is only promised. Do it.
Zu Gongluo went to the inner hall, and the returned goods were lined up on the ground, and one after another wooden boxes had been reopened, revealing the fine red silk inside, and the silk was wrapped in clay pots, which was one of the methods of collecting ginseng, and the clay pots filled with sesame oil were soaked and dried. Put it into Huayin fine spice and ginseng to store it interspersing, seal it, and it will not be damaged for many years.
Zu Gong squatted down slightly. Take a closer look at those ginsengs, although these are also the goods stored in the Zujiashan warehouse, they are not of the highest quality, and the people who buy these ginseng and eat them are all locals in Leigong Town. The merchants from outside rushed to the top grade. Those goods, regardless of age or condition, have unlimited added value and are more profitable, such as the seedling "Thousand Hands Guanyin" that Wenzhong once showed to Zu Baishou for inspection, because of the peculiar shape, the price has crossed the ginseng itself.
After looking and looking, thinking and thinking, Zu Gongluo seemed to have found a clue.
Lao Tie said when he came back. The old guest asked him to meet him tomorrow at the mountain inn.
Grandpa turned his head slightly to look at the window, and it was almost time to turn on the lights. He asked Lao Tie to send someone to take care of these goods, and then left the mountain warehouse and returned to the ancestral compound.
Liuli waited for him to wash and change clothes, and then instructed Xiaohe to go to the kitchen to pass the meal, Mengzi came, walking is still not good, his left foot is a little lame, he came to report to the ancestor Gongluo, Guo Mule appeared, and it was in an inn in Lei Gong Town.
Zu Gong thought for a little and said, "Your legs and feet are inconvenient, let Lei Zi keep an eye on it." ”
The fierce son came out in response.
Liuli stared at the back of the fierce son thoughtfully.
This move was slightly captured by Zu Gong, and smiled: "You know Mengzi, he is too loyal to me, and now that I don't marry a wife and have children, he won't start a family, it's not that he doesn't like you." ”
For Wen Wanyi, Zu Gongluo never regarded her as a wife in his heart.
Liuli listened to his explanation, first smiled shyly, and then remembered what Lei Zi said, Lei Zi said that Mengzi regarded himself as a sister at all, and the second young master would never deceive people, so that is to say, Lei Zi's words were not credible, so suddenly remembered that when Mengzi was injured, he had taken out a lot of money to Lei Zi, and asked him to help take care of the boys who exercised family law in the upper room, and after paying the money, Mengzi was still broken by them, and she had been full of suspicion about this matter, so she said to her grandfather: "Lei Zi, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Zu Gongluo was thinking about things with one hand on his cheek, and when he heard her, he asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Liuli told the original thing and the plate.
Zu Gongluo suddenly straightened up, and then said, "You send a girl to call the fierce son back." ”
Liuli responded, ran out to find someone, and almost bumped into Li Qingzhao who came in, and curtled his knees and called: "You are old." ”
Li Qingzhao is Shanbao's cousin, her seniority is extremely high and peculiar, Liuli doesn't know what to call her, only respect you for the old.
Li Qingzhao hummed, went straight inside, and said, "You go and get busy, I'll find a public strategy." ”
Now it is very normal for her to call her like this again, because her seniority is higher than that of her grandfather.
When he entered the room, he saw that his grandfather was sitting cross-legged on the big kang near the window, Li Qingzhao said loudly: "My cousin said, what happened to that matter?" ”
In that incident, Zu Gong knew a little about the return of ginseng to the old guests in the Guannai, and said with a smile: "Just send a girl." ”
Li Qingzhao laughed: "I said that I wanted to come to see you for a fake public benefit, do you believe it?" ”
Zu Gong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You want to see me waiting at any time, no need to make excuses." ”
Li Qingzhao's heart was full of joy, although it was rumored in the ancestral compound that his grandfather had broken his sleeves, but he was really good-looking, and he wanted to hate him but couldn't hate it, so he ran over and sat opposite his grandfather like thunder, and said: "Actually, if you don't have that brother, my cousin will like you." ”
Whether he had an intention or deliberately revealed it, his grandfather couldn't guess clearly, so he only chuckled: "That brother, who is it?" ”
Li Qingzhao immediately covered his mouth, Fang understood that he had gone, and said vaguely: "A man who is better than you, let's not talk about him, what should my cousin do if he asks about ginseng?" ”
Zu Gongluo asked rhetorically: "Your cousin, why didn't she ask herself?" ”
Li Qingzhao grinned: "You don't know, your mother-in-law, Miss Wen, touched my cousin, and actually said that my cousin doesn't know anything, and you will solve the big things, and you will also say that my cousin is a harmful spirit, and Hu Haijiao beat your master for my cousin, so my cousin is on fire at home." ”
Footsteps, a few little girls came in with dinner.
Zu Gongluo didn't say anything, only told Li Qingzhao: "The matter is settled, let her rest assured." ”
Li Qingzhao hummed in his mouth, stared at the little girls as they put the food on the kang table, and swallowed their saliva.
The corner of Zu Gong's mouth hooked up a warm smile, and said, "Eat with me?" ”
Li Qingzhao immediately said: "Okay, yes, yes." Then grab the chopsticks.
Not only did they eat, but the two of them also ate a few glasses of wine, Li Qingzhao was overwhelmed by alcohol, and he felt that his tongue grew and his eyes were bold, and he pointed at his grandfather vaguely and said, "Do you know who poisoned my cousin?" It's the Soul Reaver Grass. ”
Zu Gongluo's wine cup touched his lips and did not make a sound.
Li Qingzhao replied by himself: "It's Aunt Qiao." ”
Zu Gong's eyebrows moved.
Li Qingzhao staggered, spitting at Xingzi and said, "My cousin still suspects that the ginseng was dropped, and it was your eldest young master who did it." ”
Zu Gong clenched the wine cup slightly. (To be continued.) )
