232 successfully penetrated the interior of the caravan
readx; Zhuang Hua took the bamboo slip, opened it, and read it from beginning to end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough it has been out of the Celestial Empire's education for many years, Zhuang Hua's mental arithmetic is still top-notch, and the middle-aged steward only thinks that she has only yawned, and she has already calculated it.
"It costs five hundred and ninety gold for white rice, two thousand four hundred gold for cloth, one thousand two hundred and thirty gold for fox skins, nine hundred and seventy gold for bear skins, and seven thousand five hundred gold for all kinds of precious stones, for a total of twelve thousand six hundred and ninety gold." After speaking, Zhuang Hua frowned slightly and didn't look at the bamboo slips, and muttered: "It shouldn't be, why are there so many fox ......skins" The fox skin in the south is not better than the fox skin in the north because of the cold climate, so the fox fur is more and long, and the fox fur in the south is mostly sparse, dull and short, buy so many fox skins in the south......
The middle-aged steward didn't care about Zhuang Hua's muttering, took out the general account book from his arms, and paired it with the account in Zhuang Hua's hand, there was nothing wrong with it, and suddenly the middle-aged steward's eyes changed when he looked at Zhuang Hua, "Little brother, we are going to go out of the city at noon, you may follow?" ”
Zhuang Hua came back to his senses from his thoughts and nodded, "Of course, if you don't give up, our brothers can leave at any time." "The transfer proposal invited the two brothers, and if you want to collect them, you have to accept them, not just sell them.
The steward looked at Bai Chengyan, who was not far behind Zhuang Hua, and said, "I see that your brother has fine skin and tender meat, if he can endure hardship, just follow." ”
"Okay, thank you!" Zhuang Hua said, turned around and beckoned to Bai Chengyan, Bai Chengyan trotted over, Zhuang Hua grabbed Bai Chengyan, and said to the steward: "My younger brother is also literate, although he can't do heavy work, but there is no problem with helping to look at the accounts." ”
The steward smiled: "I also found a treasure." Then he asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Your brothers are all literate and hyphenated, why did you end up here?" ”
Zhuang Hua lowered his head slightly, and said in a somewhat lost tone: "Don't hide things, our brother's surname is Bai, not Baihe people, but Shengfang people, we are cousins, the elders in the family are all in the public school, but I have no choice but to offend the nobles, the family is in the middle, and in the end only my two brothers are left." We finally came to Hakutsuru and wanted to find a way to choose a way to another country. Zhuang Hua took a step back and hugged his fist at the steward, "It's really for a reason, it's just because my two brothers are embarrassed and have encountered many obstacles before, so they ...... If the steward is in trouble, let us go elsewhere. After speaking, he pulled Bai Chengyan's arm, as if he couldn't stand the rejection of others, and was about to leave, but the steward stepped forward to stop him and said: "Little brother, if you have something to say, I'll go and tell the team leader again, your identity is indeed a little difficult, but if the team leader is willing to keep you, everything is fine." ”
Zhuang Hua's eyes were pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, steward." Zhuang Hua took out a white jade pendant with good color from his sleeve, and quietly stuffed it into the steward's hand, "The steward is Zhang Luo for our two brothers, there is really nothing to repay, and I don't call anything else, the little things that are passed down from the family, a little heart, the steward should not be disliked." ”
"This, how can this be collected, I just told the team leader, whether it is successful or not, I am still leading the team." Although the steward was refusing, but he was not very resolute, Zhuang Hua was tough and stuffed Yupei into the steward's hand, and said: "The steward brother has this intention to help our brother, it is better than thousands, we have seen too much of the world along the way, and it is rare to see such a kind person as the eldest brother." ”
The steward finally received Zhuang Hua's "heart", and after that, the middle-aged steward went to say something to the team leader in the distance, and told Zhuang Hua when he came back: "You guys just follow me, the team with the C-shaped flag, find an open space to sit in the car when you set off, don't crush the valuable goods." ”
The two of them officially joined the caravan.
When they came to the place where the middle-aged steward said, seeing that the people in the team were still moving goods to the car, Zhuang Hua and Bai Chengyan both consciously started to help move the goods, and when the goods were loaded, it was already noon.
Zhuang Hua took out the dry food he had bought a long time ago from his burden and handed it to Bai Chengyan, and the two of them sat on a mule cart full of goods, eating dry food.
There is no lunch in this world, but now the people in the caravan are eating, and Zhuang Hua and Bai Chengyan also follow the local customs and eat together.
The steward is very careful, Zhuang Hua, specially came over to ask Zhuang Hua if they have dry food, Zhuang Hua has already inquired with the people in the C column before, the steward's surname is Zhang, Zhuang Hua thanked Steward Zhang and said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, we brought dry food." ”
Everyone likes people who don't have to worry about it, and he also saw that Zhuang Hua and Bai Chengyan were helping the people in the caravan move the goods, and Steward Zhang patted Zhuang Hua on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job, the tent in the caravan went back to the hometown last month because of the wife in the hometown, if you do a good job, maybe you can get on top." ”
Zhuang Hua didn't want to stay in the caravan for a long time, but it was difficult to refuse, so Zhuang Hua vaguely agreed: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your promotion." ”
Steward Zhang thought about the jade pendant that he had just put away, it was worth a lot of money, it seemed that the two brothers did not eat the suffering of the world, so he got such a big advantage, and he should take care of it more, and said with a smile: "Say thank you or not, they are all their own brothers, and if there is anything, tell the brothers in the caravan." ”
"Yes." Zhuang Hua nodded in agreement.
After Steward Zhang left, Bai Chengyan sneered at Zhuang Hua, laughing so inexplicably that Zhuang Hua asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Bai Chengyan said: "Laugh at you for being a dignified scholar, and you actually flattered a merchant. ”
Zhuang Hua didn't care about this, "Three years ago, when I appeared in Jiuding Mountain, I was still a wild man without a home or a household. ”
Bai Chengyan heard Zhuang Hua talk about the past for the first time, and was curious: "Why? ”
"At that time, I was lost, penniless, and I didn't know anyone. The world is strange to me. Zhuang Hua said ambiguously, but he couldn't stand Bai Chengyan's brain replenishment ability, and soon, the image of a hermit appeared in Bai Chengyan's mind, and he asked with great interest: "Who was the first person you met?" ”
"Mountain Garden." Zhuang Hua blurted out unexpectedly.
"What kind of person is he?" Bai Chengyan said.
Zhuang Hua thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Maybe you have seen him, not necessarily...... Even if you haven't seen it, you've heard of it. ”
Bai Chengyan frowned, looked at Zhuang Hua and said, "Except for you, I don't know a person named Shanting. ”
"He is not called a mountain court in Yasukuni." Zhuang Hua attached himself to Bai Chengyan's ear and said: "He is in Yasukuni, and his name is Fuliang. ”
Bai Chengyan was taken aback, frustrated with Liang, the youngest doctor of the famous Shengfang. Think about it, three years ago, Fu Liang was inexplicably convicted, and after escaping, he was arrested by the national list, and at that time he also just started to look for his biological mother, because the search for this matter stopped for a while, and was noticed for a year.
Three years ago...... "How did you meet him?" Bai Chengyan's eyes were shining, flashing with the light of gossip, Zhuang Hua took a bite of the dry food in his hand, and said: "When I saw him, he was seriously injured, I didn't understand the language, and I thought that it would be good to have someone who could teach me to speak, so I saved him." After that, I crossed the Yangguo country with her and went to the Zhaoguo. Zhuang Hua paused at this point, as if he was recalling something.
And Bai Chengyan asked anxiously, "And then what?" ”
"And then......" Zhuang Hua sighed, "we were in distress in Shaolu, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead in order to save me from the enemy, so I was taken to Zhaoguo by his friend Xing Le, and after I was safe, Xing Le returned to Yangguo to find the mountain court." ”
"Xing Le turned out to be his friend!" Bai Chengyan was shocked, he never knew that such two seemingly unrelated people would be friends.
"Of course, he is also your father's friend, why can't he be Xing Le's friend?" Zhuang Hua said and took a water bladder from his side and handed it to Bai Chengyan, Bai Chengyan was shocked and kept biting the dry food, Zhuang Hua was afraid that he would choke.
Sure enough, Bai Chengyan was choked, and hurriedly picked up the water bladder and drank two sips of water and finally went down. "You're saying that he's actually ......" Zhaoguo?
Zhuang Hua nodded, "Yes." ”
Bai Chengyan's expression gradually sank, "What about after that?" You've arrived in Zhaoguo, how are Shanting and Xing Le? ”
Zhuang Hua fiddled with the dry food in his hand and said, "After that, I went to Zhaoguo and contacted your father, and when I rescued him, it was time this spring." Your father and I were in Yangguo for almost half a year before we were able to save them. ”
"Why didn't you go back with them?" Bai Chengyan asked.
Zhuang Hua said: "There was some accident on the way, so I went to Yasukuni, and then I met your father in Baihe, and then I went to Shengfang to find you." You know it after that. ”
Bai Chengyan looked at Zhuang Hua and said, "That's it?" ”
"Well, that's all." The general main line is like this, Zhuang Hua has a clear conscience (you rely on Mao!! )。
Bai Chengyan pulled his face and said, "Don't lie to me. ”
"I didn't lie to you." I just didn't say something, Zhuang Hua said in his heart.
Bai Chengyan didn't believe it at all, what he heard was not like this, "When you were in the country, your name was Shanting, why is this?" ”
Zhuang Hua's head was a little painful, why did this kid have so many questions, fortunately, at this time, the caravan's lunch time was over, Zhuang Hua said with a sloppy eye: "Pack up and set off." ”
Bai Chengyan said dissatisfied: "I know that you didn't tell the truth, so don't care about it now, and you have to explain it to me in the future." ”
"Okay, little ancestor, hurry up and clean up."
The two of them quickly packed up the uneaten dry food, and the convoy set off, the mule cart that the two of them sat in was mixed in the middle of the team, and the clothes they wore were very ordinary, so they were not noticed at all, Zhuang Hua picked this car because of this, but this is not easy when crossing the city gate, because there is no one to check, every car has to be checked, so you have to think of another way.
