When he arrived in Luzhou, Wei Xianyun had been living in seclusion, for fear of being recognized and ruining his next plan. Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian could go out at will, he felt a little aggrieved in his heart.

Lu Xiaoxian seemed to have a good heart, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Wei Xianyun: "Sir, if you bear with me, this will not be long!" Believe me! ”

Lu Xiaoxian's empathy moved Wei Xianyun very much, and he nodded and said, "How could I not believe you?" Let's go! ”

On the way, Lu Xiaoxian was talking and laughing with Jiang Xiaotong while looking at the shops along the street.

After a while, the shadow who followed behind took a step forward and whispered to Jiang Xiaotong: "Miss, there are two people in the back who are following us, and they have been following us since we went out!" ”

Jiang Xiaotong was very experienced, she didn't look back and continued to talk and laugh with Lu Xiaoxian, and asked Ying'er casually, "Do you see it?" What number of roads? ”

Shadow shook her head and said, "I can't see it, they don't seem to know martial arts!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Ying'er, don't pay attention to them, you go and tell Uncle Hai......"

Lu Xiaoxian's voice became smaller and smaller.

After listening to Lu Xiaoxian, Shadow snorted and said, "Why should I listen to you?" ”

Jiang Xiaotong said with a straight face: "Is it time to vomit now?" Do it according to the meaning of Xiaoxian! ”

"Okay!" Shadow agreed.

……

Seeing Lu Xiaoxian coming in, the rouge with a big belly hurriedly wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaotong.

Jiang Xiaotong frowned and complained: "Rouge, why don't you know how to cherish your body, when is it, and what are you doing with these etiquette?" ”

"Xiaotong is right! Rouge, you know, I don't care if it's polite or not! Lu Xiaoxian nodded in agreement.

"That's not going to work!" Rouge shook his head stubbornly and said, "My brother said, Childe is our great benefactor, no matter when we see him, we must give a big gift!" ”

Jiang Xiaotong wanted to say something, but Lu Xiaoxian quickly diverted the topic: "Rouge, where is Yang Ke, why don't you take care of you in the house?" ”

"He's in the backyard, busy developing rouge gouache! Don't worry, Childe, I've asked the maid to call him! ”

Listening to Rouge's words, Jiang Xiaotong glared at Lu Xiaoxian hatefully: "It's all your fault, just your words, it's good now, Yang Ke doesn't even care about Rouge!" ”

Jiang Xiaotong's blame made Lu Xiaoxian smile bitterly and shook his head, but he couldn't refute it, Yang Ke's obsession with developing rouge gouache was indeed derived from Lu Xiaoxian's joke.

On the way to Luzhou, Lu Xiaoxian was very worried, so that Yang Ke, who had always wanted to repay Lu Xiaoxian's great kindness, was anxious in his eyes, and he hoped that he could help Lu Xiaoxian share something.

Finally, when Yang Ke expressed his heart to Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoxian looked at him and smiled, and said casually: "If you can develop the best rouge gouache in the world, it will be a great help to me." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Lu Xiaoxian's joke, Yang Ke remembered it deeply.

When he arrived in Luzhou, Lu Xiaoxian insisted on buying a separate courtyard for Yang Ke and Rouge couple, and also hired subordinates and maids for them, so that Yang Ke was even more grateful to Lu Xiaoxian, and he vowed to develop the best rouge gouache for Lu Xiaoxian.

In addition to sleeping and eating, Yang Ke spends his days in the backyard, tinkering with all kinds of bottles and cans.

Hearing Jiang Xiaotong count Lu Xiaoxian, Rouge hurriedly explained: "Miss Jiang, it's no wonder that this son!" ”

Jiang Xiaotong looked at Rouge distressedly: "If you don't hate him, why do you still help him speak!" ”

"How can I hold a grudge against Childe?" Rouge said sincerely, "My brother said, Gongzi is our benefactor, he helped us so much, and he never wanted to reciprocate." If he can't develop the best rouge gouache in Datang, he won't have the face to see his son! ”

While talking, Yang Ke entered the house from the outside.

He was covered in sweat, and his hands were still stained with red mud, apparently in a hurry, and he didn't bother to wash his hands.

Yang Ke was about to bow down to Lu Xiaoxian, but Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly supported him: "Please, Brother Yang, don't bow down, if someone is going to be mad again!" ”

"Crazy? Childe, who's going to be mad? Yang Ke was inexplicable.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Jiang Xiaotong said to Yang Ke, "Brother Yang, don't patronize rouge gouache all day long, spend more time with rouge, after all, she is about to give birth!" ”

"Hey! I know. Yang Ke nodded and agreed, "It's almost the same in the past few days, after the matter is done, I don't do anything, I accompany Rouge every day!" ”

"Is it really about to be?" Lu Xiaoxian was surprised.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't expect that with his own joke, Yang Ke could really develop the best rouge gouache.

"Almost!" It can be seen that Yang Ke is also very happy, "When it is done, I will ask Gongzi to accept it!" ”

"Good!" Lu Xiaoxian patted Yang Ke on the shoulder: "I will definitely come then." ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't know how to do business, but he knew in his heart what it would mean if Yang Ke really succeeded in developing.

……

In the evening, Uncle Hai came to find Lu Xiaoxian.

"Uncle Hai, how is it? Have you found out? Lu Xiaoxian asked curiously.

"Got it checked!" Uncle Hai nodded and said, "It's the people of the Bird Gang who are following us during the day!" ”

"How could it be them?" Lu Xiaoxian was taken aback.

If the people from Changle Gate followed him, it was still reasonable, but he didn't expect it to be someone from the Bird's Bird Gang, which made Lu Xiaoxian a little surprised.

"Are you sure it's someone from the Birds?" Lu Xiaoxian wondered.

Uncle Hai nodded and said, "I secretly followed them and watched them enter a place." Then I asked Gu'er to lead my subordinate Hanako to identify it, it was an altar of the Bird's Bird Gang! ”

"You can't go wrong! This Song Ning is quite interesting! Lu Xiaoxian said to himself, "It seems that this puddle of water in Luzhou is getting more and more muddy!" ”

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaoxian instructed Uncle Hai: "Uncle Hai, you go and tell Gu'er to keep an eye on the Bird Gang, if there is any news, come in time!" ”

……

"Tuk tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door outside the house early in the morning.

Lu Xiaoxian opened the door and saw Song Di, Yao Hong, Wang Shouyi and Li Linfu standing in front of him.

"Xiaoxian, a few of us thought about it and felt that we couldn't lose your friend!" Song Di said solemnly, "We have decided, listen to your words and quit gambling!" ”

"Really?" Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Really!" The four of them nodded in unison.

"That's right!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Then we are still friends, come on, come on, please come in!" ”

Several people sat down, and Song Di took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoxian: "This is the silver won that day, a total of four thousand seven hundred taels, Xiaoxian, you take it!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and refused: "I don't lack silver, your brother will divide it!" ”

"How can that work?" Song Di said seriously, "If it weren't for you, let's not talk about winning silver, it is estimated that we are still being played as monkeys, if you don't want it, I would rather give this silver to the beggars!" ”

Song Di's stubbornness, Lu Xiaoxian has seen it, he smiled and took the silver ticket, and asked Song Di: "How much silver does it cost to buy a decent house in Luzhou?" ”

"I don't know much about this!" Song Di shook his head and pointed at Wang Shouyi, "You ask Shouyi, he knows the market!" ”

Wang Shouyi smiled and said: "The average house is about 1,000 taels, and the better ones are about 1,500 taels!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded: "If it was just me living here with Zhang Meng and Xiaoyi, but if you come often, it will be a little shabby!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian counted out a few silver tickets and handed them to Wang Shouyi: "That's it, Brother Wang, this is 1,700 taels of silver, you take it, please buy a better house, next time you come to me, it will be more convenient for me!" ”

"No problem, I'll take care of it!" Wang Shouyi took the silver ticket.

Lu Xiaoxian took out a few more silver tickets: "There are six of us in total, and there are three thousand taels of silver, the three of us will receive one thousand taels, and the remaining two thousand taels, and the four of you will each have five hundred taels of points!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian handed the remaining silver ticket to Song Di again.

Song Di wanted to say something, Lu Xiaoxian said with a straight face: "If you push three more times, I'll be angry!" ”

Song Di had no choice but to divide the silver ticket.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xiaoxian asked casually: "I've been in Luzhou for a long time, do you know any lively places, recommend them to me, I want to go out for a walk!" ”

Li Linfu said with a smile: "If you talk about a lively place, it must be Yangliudun!" ”

"Yang Liudun?" Lu Xiaoxian asked, "What kind of place is Yangliudun?" ”

"Yangliudun is a place to do business, and it is also the largest trading place in Luzhou!"

Lu Xiaoxian became interested: "Are you free, let's go to this Yangliudun for a walk?" ”

……

Yangliudun was not originally a bazaar, just a large open space next to the official road, and at first it was just one or two, three or five people who set up stalls there and had paved them.

As the days went by, the number of paving increased day by day, and they were arranged in rows, and with a scale, it became the current bazaar.

A few people got out of the carriage, and Lu Xiaoxian looked around and said, "It's really not small!" ”

The market of Yangliudun may not be as prosperous as Chang'an West Market, but it covers a much larger area than West City.

"Xiaoxian, this is the grass market!" Li Linfu pointed to the market in front of him.

"Grass Market? Why is it called a grass market? Lu Xiaoxian said strangely.

"I don't quite understand, that's what everyone calls it anyway!"

Lu Xiaoxian nodded.

The commodities traded in the grass market are mainly crops grown by the farmers themselves, as well as salt, wine, and other daily necessities.

After walking around the grass market, Lu Xiaoxian followed Li Linfu and walked forward.

"Xiaoxian, this is the horse market!" Li Linfu continued.

The horse market, as the name suggests, is a market for exchanging or buying horses, and in addition to horses, there is also the trade of cattle such as cattle, donkeys, mules, sheep, etc.

Here, it can be bought with silver, or exchanged for farm tools, clothing, grain, iron pots, etc.

Lu Xiaoxian seemed to be very interested in horses, and everywhere he went, he would look at them curiously for a while.

Li Linfu smiled and asked, "Xiaoxian, you know horses!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "How can I know anything about horses, in my eyes, they are all the same, and they can't tell the good from the bad at all!" ”

Li Linfu deliberately teased: "There are four formulas for knowing horses, I don't know if Lu Gongzi has heard it?" ”
