Chapter 200: The Uninvited Guest
Looking at the anxious scene of everyone, Wei Xiangqiang suppressed his anger, secretly took a deep breath, and then slowed down his tone and said in a harmonious voice: "Then what is the situation over there now, has someone visited in the past?" ”
Before he finished his words, he heard someone outside rushing over panting: "The little one has an urgent matter to report to the master!" "Apparently, someone who came was blocked from the study.
Hearing the voice of the comer, Wei Xiang said in a deep voice: "Let him in!" ”
So, a man came in with a sweaty face, and both legs and stomach were shaking. "Xiang, Xiangye, no, it's not good, the grain depot in the capital is burning, no, it hasn't burned..."
Wei Xiang was inexplicable when he heard this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What is this talking about? Can't you even speak clearly? What else do I need from you? Come on, drag this useless thing down and fight! Fight until he says it clearly! ”
The man was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said loudly: "Xiangye, that's the case!" Last night's fire did burn, but it didn't take long for it to be discovered! All of us have been taken away. In the early hours of this morning, Xiao and Zhang San were ordered to check, and they were already on alert. Zhang San was caught, and thanks to his little cleverness, he escaped back! ”
Hearing him say this, Wei Xiangye only felt a suffocation in his chest, and then sneered: "Even if you keep that food, you won't be able to last a few days in the capital!" Hmph, I don't believe it, what other good way can they break my game! ”
Among the staff, there are those who are bold, and they come forward to worship: "Xiangye is strategizing, and no one in the world can match it!" Even if the prince tried his best to keep the grain. Jingzhong won't be able to last a few days. As long as the chaos is completed, the emperor has to question the incompetence of the prince! ”
Although Wei Xiangye was very depressed in his heart, he tried not to show it on his face: "The old man has been laying out for a long time. Last night was just a minor accident! Nothing. The rest of the thing, you guys go ahead as planned! He didn't believe that the situation he had carefully arranged would be cracked by the prince.
Wang Xiaoer yawned, raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyes, and slowly opened the door of the store. The hour has passed, so it stands to reason. He should have gotten up at this hour. It's just that in the past month, the store has been crowded. Almost never opened.
Wang Xiaoer's rice shop is on the outskirts of the capital and is not a very big shop. Recently, the price of rice in the capital is expensive, and the owners of the shops have been unable to buy it. The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, and there is no rice in the store. Naturally, it is impossible to do business. There were originally three guys in the shop. Because there is no business, the boss has already returned two. Wang Xiaoer is related to the boss because he has some relatives, so he stays in the store for the time being. It's just that if this situation continues, I'm afraid Wang Xiaoer will also go home hungry.
"Little second brother, do you have rice here?" A big man with a beard walked into the shop and asked him loudly.
Wang Xiaoer was cleaning the shop weakly, and when he heard the question, he said angrily: "I'm sorry, guest officer." You can run one more house! ”
The bearded man didn't seem to care about his attitude. He sat down at the counter in the store and said loudly, "What? Don't you want to do business when you open a shop? ”
Wang Xiaoer saw that he didn't leave. Instead, he sat down, couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "I'm sorry, guest officer!" We have a small shop, so if you want to buy rice and go to the big store! There is no rice left to sell! ”
The bearded man smiled and said, "Since you don't have rice, why don't you come back with some more?" Wang Xiaoer shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, now the price of rice in the capital is extremely expensive, comparable to Zhu Yu, and the owner of the shop can't even support himself, where is the spare energy to buy some rice and come back?" The guest officer went to those time-honored shops to have a look, maybe they might still have some to sell there. ”
Seeing his sincerity, the bearded man gestured to Wang Xiaoer: "Second brother, I am a foreigner and have come from afar." I don't know if there is such a thing in the capital! There is no rice, can you give me hot water to drink? ”
Wang Xiaoer was already past the time to get up at this time, and there was usually only one person in the store, and he was also extremely bored. It's rare for a traveler from afar to come over today, and it's good to talk to him. So he smiled and put down the sprinkler in his hand and said, "You want to drink water, why don't you say it earlier?" Yes, yes, enough hot water pipes! I still have a little tea foam left over from the boss, if you don't dislike it, I'll brew it for you! ”
The bearded man chuckled softly: "That's a good feeling!" I've always loved tea! It doesn't matter what it is, in short, you can remove some fresh water smell! Thank you, little second brother! ”
After a while, Wang Xiao's second-hand feet neatly put on the tea set, and the strong fragrance of tea suddenly attracted the nose of the beard. "What kind of tea are you brewing? It's very fragrant, and you still say it's not good tea? Hearing the praise of the beard, Wang Xiaoer was a little proud.
"If you want to talk about my tea, but the nobles in the palace like it! This is an authentic Lao Junmei, although it is old tea, it tastes good, right? Our boss doesn't pay attention to anything else, and he usually likes to drink tea. He's going to fiddle with these things! Wang Xiaoer served tea to the bearded man, and sat on the side and talked with him about the mountains.
While drinking tea, the bearded man chatted with him with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. After chatting with the shopkeeper in full swing and basically finding out the situation in Beijing, the bearded man said to the shopkeeper seriously: "Little second brother, I can't hide it, I entered Beijing today, in fact, I have a very important thing to do." This matter may make your boss a fortune. How about it, can you help me get your boss over? I have something to counsel with him. ”
Hearing the beard talk about making a fortune, Wang Xiaoer's eyes lit up. He went up and down a lot of beards, and found that the clothes on his body were simple and elegant, neither very luxurious nor very simple. With his sharp eyes for many years, he can't see the details of this big man. It must not be easy to think of this big man.
So, he nodded and smiled: "Guest officer, since you said that you can make our boss rich, then I will treat you as the God of Wealth!" Wait a minute, I'll please! ”
As he spoke, he got up and went straight to the backyard. In front of this shop is a rice shop facing the street, and there is a big yard in the back, which is the residence of the boss Sun Siyou. Because there has been no business in the store recently, the boss Sun Siyou simply didn't go to the shop, leaving a guy Wang Xiaoer to watch.
Hearing Wang Xiaoer say that there was a God of Wealth in front of him, Sun Siyou nodded on Wang Xiaoer's head and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, if you are full and have nothing to do, entertain me, be careful that I give you a big stick!" (To be continued.) )
