Chapter 048: A Difficult Brother Who Makes Fun in Suffering
It's the 28th, this month is about to pass, dear book friends, the final sprint, ask for strong support from recommendation votes! ***
Ximen Qing and Xia Xun were dressed in Confucian shirts, and they came down from the Lion Tower step by step, walking slowly on the street.
Ximen Qing covered his mouth with a fan, and said with his teeth: "Brother Yang is really lucky, it is rare that they have ready-made iron materials in their hands, we have paid the deposit, and we will be able to ship soon, you are going to do long-term business, so the price given by people is still very fair, I know the market, this price did not deceive you." However, the raw and wrought iron tools have been settled, and the fur and animal tendons are more troublesome......"
Ximenqing flicked the toothpick to the ground, closed the fan and said: "If you want to buy a large number of this thing, you can only start from outside the plug, if you want to have high-quality goods, you have to find a way from outside the plug, it is not easy to contact them, but this year the Mongolians suffered a big loss in the hands of King Yan, fled for hundreds of miles, leaving behind many old and weak widows who lack food and clothing, and the food and strong labor have been taken away, they are worried that they will not be able to survive this winter, and take the initiative to send people to find buyers, which will fulfill you, we not only save time, but also save a lot of money." ”
Xia Xun said with a smile: "This, thanks to Brother Ximen's wide range of hands and connections, otherwise the brother is alone and his eyes are blank, but there is no way to start, Brother Ximen has to worry a lot." ”
Ximenqing said with a smile: "It's nothing to bother, anyway, I don't make any effort in vain, my left hand in, right hand out, I can also make a fortune from it, my lady is a tutor, dignified and virtuous, in fact, she is an excellent woman, but she likes to be jealous, especially when she sees money." Take this money back and slap it on the kang, she still doesn't serve me properly? ”
Ximenqing didn't know what he thought of, so he laughed a few times.
Xia Xun reminded: "I don't know when I will be able to contact the source of goods?" If I don't have an accurate score, I won't be able to explain it. Besides, I'm really in a hurry to go back, so it's better to hurry up. ”
Ximen Qing said: "You can't be in a hurry, people are looking for it, but the fastest delivery has to be between October and November, I'll wait for the news, as soon as there is news here, I will immediately send someone to send you a letter, and then the two of us will go to Beiping together." I'll figure out a way to transport vehicles, mules and horses, and I can also help you get through the joints of the yamen through the water and land checkpoints, but the cost of opening up the joints is ......."
Xia Xun smiled knowingly: "Then naturally I came out." ”
Ximen Qing smiled dryly: "Hey, anyway, it's King Qi's money, be generous to others, and my brother doesn't have to be painful." By the way, this time it's not more than usual, the goods are more than ten times more than what I smuggled before, such a huge amount of goods, it is difficult to cover people's eyes and ears when transporting, maybe something will really go wrong, and then you will have to use the relationship of your Qi Palace. ”
Xia Xun nodded and said, "There is no problem with this." If I go to Beiping, what deal do I bring? Gold or silver or what? ”
Ximenqing said with a smile: "Actually, they are more interested in things like grain, tea, and cloth, and they like to barter. However, we are too eye-catching to transport things to Beiping with great fanfare, so let's use money, gold or silver, and I can pass treasure money in the Ming Dynasty, and they all admit it. ”
Xia Xun said happily: "That's good." ”
Ximen Qing glanced at him and said with emotion: "When I first saw you, I thought you were from Yingtianfu, but I didn't expect you to be from Qingzhou, you are a few years younger than me, could it be that you are the same as me, the son succeeds his father and inherits the brocade clothes?" ”
Xia Xun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The situation of the little brother is much more complicated than yours, and it is difficult to explain it." Where is the brocade? If it was a few years earlier, everyone who broke their heads might not be able to join Jinyiwei? But now ......, Jinyiwei is no longer the time when he was majestic on all sides, since entering Jinyi, I am walking on thin ice and approaching the abyss. ”
Ximen Qing said sympathetically: "Yes." Who would have thought that the emperor's order, the invincible Jinyi guard in the world would suddenly die down and become a toothless tiger, and the power of the sky is unpredictable. But ......"
He said in a deep voice: "I always feel that Jinyiwei will not end like this. The ups and downs of life, the impermanence of fate, once the wind and clouds meet, who can guarantee that Jinyiwei will not be able to ...... again"
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Wow! Sure enough, the storm will meet! ”
"What?"
Xia Xun also looked up at the sky, and saw a thick dark cloud overhead, covering half of the sky, but the other half of the sky did not have a trace of clouds, the dark blue sky was clear and far-reaching, clear and far-reaching, clear and clear, without a single cloud. The part between the two halves of the sky was illuminated by the sunlight as if it was gilded with a layer of silver, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "What a rare celestial phenomenon, magnificent and majestic......
Ximenqing slowly lowered his head, and a crystal drop of water on the bridge of his nose was slowly sliding down to the tip of his nose. Ximenqing seemed to suddenly turn into a wise man, and said in a deep and calm voice: "Didn't you notice that it was going to rain?" ”
Xia Xun was surprised and said, "It's raining? The sun is shining, do you want it to rain? ”
Before the sound fell, there was a thunderclap in the sky, the downpour fell from the sky, the raindrops with the size of beans "crackled" and smashed on the ground, the people on the street made a sound, and the wolves ran away one after another. In an instant, the heavy rain swept the sky and the earth, and the eyes were confused, this rain was really sudden and urgent.
The two of them looked at each other, shouted at the same time, lifted their robes and ran forward. The rain came so quickly and so heavily that it was as if a god was standing in the sky with a large basin and pouring water, but the other half of the sky still looked clear and blue, shining with bright sunlight.
The two people only ran a few dozen steps, and their bodies were drenched by the rain, squinting and looking forward, they saw that there were many people standing quietly in the heavy rain, and they were looking at them with their necks stretched, and there were many people in front of them, walking, carrying burdens, holding children, pushing carts, rubbing shoulders and boiling, such a scene was nothing, but it was raining heavily, and they actually did not dodge, which was particularly weird.
The two of them were a little hairy in their hearts, and turned their heads to look, only to see that the street behind them was also a white and vast rain fog, and the raindrops smashed on the ground powerfully, splashing patches of water, and there was nothing strange in addition, what were those people looking at?
For a while, the two of them didn't think much about it, they just ran wildly, and when they ran closer, they found that the rain was actually bounded by that street, and the people of Yanggu County were standing outside the rain line curiously enjoying this rare scene, and the two of them were unlucky people who were watered by the rain......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The two of them walked on the street in embarrassment, Ximenqing twisted the hem of his clothes, and said with a wry smile: "I've grown so big, it's the first time I've seen such a lack of rain." ”
Xia Xun dragged the mud and water forward, and said lazily: "I have seen the sun and rain, and I have also heard of the yin and yang rain, but across the street, the rain on one side is so heavy, and the rain does not fall on the other side, such an evil rain, I have seen it for the first time." ”
The two of them glanced at the soup chicken next to them at the same time, and said in unison: "It must be you!" ”
Ximen Qing snorted: "Don't fart and look at others, I'm a cross-character offense with you, since I met you, my bad luck has never been broken, I used to tease the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, my lady has always known, but as soon as you came, I let the lady teach me a lesson." Because of your Miss Peng, I've been laying the floor for two days, and you still say it's not you? ”
Xia Xun shook off the rain on his face and asked strangely, "What do you have to do with me?" ”
Ximen Qing said: "Why is it irrelevant? The night before yesterday, my lady had gone to bed, and I was about to make love with my lady, but I had just held her in my arms, and she suddenly asked me, which one is more beautiful, she or your lady. ”
Xia Xun asked, "What do you say?" ”
Ximen Qing said: "Of course I said, your lady is more handsome." ”
Xia Xun smiled: "Then you deserve it, you have to blame me for this." ”
Ximen Qing said confidently: "I call this sincerity!" Hmph, last night, I was so coaxed that the lady's mood was smooth, I untied my clothes again, and was about to go to bed to make love, who knew that I just hugged her, she actually asked me the topic of the first night, and asked me who is more beautiful between her and your lady. ”
Xia Xun said: "You won't tell the truth again, will you?" ”
Ximen Qing glanced at him and said: "You are stupid to me, of course I say that my lady is the most beautiful, my Xiaodong is charming, like jade and flowers, heaven and earth, unique." ”
Xia Xun stroked his palms and smiled: "That's right, women like to listen to compliments, even if you know that what you say is false, she would rather you lie to her." This time, Mrs. Sister-in-law's heart is full of joy, Brother Simon should be able to get what he wants, right? ”
Ximenqing hung his head and said dejectedly: "Don't mention it, this time I not only slept on the floor again, but I was also kicked off the kang by my mother." ”
Xia Xunqi said: "Why is this? ”
Ximen Qing said crookedly: "She said that I can't do it now, and I have learned to lie......"
Xia Xun was silent for a long time, and sighed sympathetically: "Actually, I think it...... My sister-in-law is just enjoying the process of abusing you. ”
Ximenqing said with a sad face: "I think so too. ”
Xia Xun couldn't help but smile and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Mourning is good!" ”
Ximen Qing was very obedient, the curve of his face that had collapsed suddenly seemed to be pulled by an invisible silk thread, and they were raised upwards together, and the difficult process of inexplicably going from grief to smiling was completed in an instant, and the narrow Danfeng eyes also narrowed, and a few treacherous laughs came out of his mouth, Xia Xun was startled, took a step back, and said vigilantly: "Brother Ximen, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ximenqing didn't look at him, and ran to the side of the road in a hurry, shouting, "Aha! Xiao Jiu'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, I've grown so smart, tsk, come on, let me see, this body, this face, if anyone marries our wine, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. ”
Jiu'er is a little girl who sells pears and dates under the willow tree, the little girl is not very old, thirteen or fourteen years old, cardamom years, petite and exquisite, but a pair of buds on her chest have slightly raised a seductive arc, her face is round, with a healthy ruddy, like a seductive red apple, big eyes, small mouth, a smile and two shallow dimples, sweet like the pears on her stall.
Ximen Qing leaned over with a hippie smile. He took the biggest pear from the little girl's stall, glanced at the little girl's face that began to blush, and took a bite of the pear, and the bite was so juicy that it was like gnawing on the mouth of a little girl, and praised it repeatedly: "Sweet, so sweet......"
The little girl hung her head shyly, twisted the corners of her clothes and said, "Uncle Simon is here to laugh at people again." ”
Ximen Qing hurriedly declared: "Don't don't, I'm only a few years older than you, I want to call Brother Ximen, don't call me uncle, my father is your uncle." Sister Jiu'er, have you found a suitable in-law, if there is really no suitable one, it is better to tell your father, just marry into my family as a concubine, although I am older than you, but I know the ...... of loving my wife"
"Uncle Simon is here to bully people again, so I won't tell you."
The little girl shyly ran behind the willow tree, and quietly probed to see if he was gone, Ximenqing said a few words, as if he had taken advantage of others, and his eyebrows danced with laughter, he called a few times, but did not see the wine come out, so he threw a few copper coins on the stall and walked back happily.
Xia Xun looked at Ximen Dashao with a smile, and he really had nothing to say. After two days of getting along, he has learned about the situation in Ximenqing's family and his personality. This Ximen Qing family, who has the same name as the famous Ximen official in history, has a fierce wife, a son and a daughter. Usually, whether it is a woman who comes to see a doctor, a maid at home, or a beautiful girl who meets on the street, Ximen always likes to take advantage of others.
In fact, he just has a lot of mouths, and his hands are very measured, Ximen Qing looks elegant and gentle, and has a lot of gold in his pocket, although his mouth is flowery, it is mostly flattering and funny, Xia Xun found that whether it is a girl in his house or a female patient who sees a doctor, or a woman who meets on the street, he doesn't hate his accosting very much, but once his wife finds out, he has to twist his ears and teach him a lesson with a feather duster.
But this Ximen Qing is tired of this, and he is also an outlier, he can't imagine that such a person is the original form of the character in "Water Margin", which is a collection of ruffians, bullies, profiteers, and prostitutes, which is really shocking.
Ximenqing was not ashamed of his behavior, but proud, he triumphantly nibbled on the pear, the frustration caused by the heavy rain and the lady was swept away, he took a bite of the pear, and said to Xia Xun: "By the way, when it comes to your lady, you said she is just your bodyguard?" This girl is very weird, obviously everyone knows that she is a woman, but she refuses to admit it, wearing a man's clothes, dangling in my back garden all day long, and if it goes on like this, others will think that my lady Hongxing is out of the wall. Why do you mess around with her, every time you see her, you still have trouble, and you call Peng Gongzi a mouthful? ”
Xia Xun slowly smiled mysteriously on his face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled lightly: "Don't you think it's interesting to tease her like this?" ”
Ximenqing looked at him and pouted: "You are very obscene!" ”
Xia Xun: "......"
The two of them returned to the "Weishengtang Pharmacy", and after changing their clothes, they went to the West Cross Courtyard first, but they didn't see Peng Ziqi, and then went to the back garden, as soon as they passed the Moon Gate, they saw Ximen's sister-in-law sitting in the small pavilion and Peng Ziqi chatting, Peng Ziqi was still dressed in men's clothes, although everyone already knew that she was a woman.
Ximenqing smiled and said: "This Miss Peng is very good, I can see that she actually has a little bit of meaning to you, but I don't want you to see that my daughter's family is thin-skinned, if Brother Yang also has affection for her, you should take the initiative." As the saying goes, the strong girl is afraid of Lang entanglement, don't look at her now if she is not salty and indifferent to you, once this layer of window paper is pierced, she is a hundred Lian Steel and turned into a finger soft, and your happy days will come, hehe......"
Xia Xun coughed and said: "It seems that Miss Peng is already in good health, even if she can't ride a horse for a long distance, it is still feasible for us to go back by water, I want to leave for Qingzhou early tomorrow morning." ”
Ximenqing said unexpectedly: "So fast? ”
Xia Xun said: "Well, there are still a lot of things that need to be taken care of over there." By the way, Brother Simon, you have excellent medical skills, and you have a pharmacy at home, I want to ask you, but what kind of medicine can make people fall asleep after taking it and it is difficult to find out the abnormality? ”
Ximen Qing said: "Naturally, there are such medicines, but ...... What does this do, you ask? ”
Xia Xun said happily: "Is there really such a drug? Haha, great, one guest doesn't bother the two masters, then send me some of them, the little brother is useful. ”
Ximenqing's face changed, and he lost his voice: "You...... Do you want to use medicine on Miss Peng? ”
