Chapter Twenty-Eight: Brothers, Settle Accounts
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Brothers, Settle Accounts
"Well said, well said!" Zhang Qian turned sideways and promised to be as happy as he wanted.
It's not because I see how pleasing Guo Nu is, but I really can't stand the smell of this person. He had just gone through a vigorous workout and couldn't hold his breath.
And according to the little fat man Ren Cong, his passing place and hands are also handled by the "stinky man" surnamed Guo. It would be rude to turn around and avoid this person immediately when you see this person approaching. Therefore, even if it was just to take a few breaths of stink, Zhang Qian didn't dare to agree too slowly.
"Thank you Immortal Master for the medicine!" That Guo Nu, where did you think that the reason why Zhang Qian agreed so happily was to be less smoked. Immediately took a few steps forward, reaching the ground for a long time, "This kindness and virtue, Guo Er will not forget." Price......"
A stench, three times thicker than just now, hit my face. Zhang Qian couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, and fled, "The price Guo Shaolangjun looks at it, I'll go get you medicine first." Brother Ren, just greet Guo Shaolangjun, I'll come when I go! ”
"Hey, hey!" Although he is very familiar with Guo Nu, Ren Cong can't stand the smell of the other party. Half holding his breath, he took half a step forward, and smiled, "Second brother, you are thirsty on the road, it is better to go to the flower hall to drink tea first." The osmanthus flowers over there have just bloomed, and the trees are full of golden, and the fragrance is like honey......"
"Don't go, I hate the smell of osmanthus the most!" Guo Nu waved his hand and refused aggressively, "Since I was a child, my mother has been in my house, and there are sachets made of osmanthus everywhere. And gardenias, I have a headache when I smell them now! I'll just wait here, lest the immortal master think I'm not sincere enough. Xiao Wu, the immortal master just said, I will give the price casually. You give me an idea, how much is it appropriate to give? ”
"W-how do I know this?" Ren Cong had no choice but to stop at a position not far from Guo Nu, and forcibly endured the pain to give the other party an idea, "After all, this medicine is unique in the world." It's not a lifesaver, but it's just the glass bottle that holds the medicine......"
"Good brother, you can really talk! If you finish this order, you will definitely be given a commission. Zhang Qian heard the conversation between the two clearly, turned around, and secretly gave Ren Cong a thumbs up. Immediately, seeing the painful appearance of the other party who wanted to hide but couldn't hide, his heart was suddenly full of sympathy.
However, sympathy is sympathy, let him go back and Ren Cong replace, it is absolutely impossible. In line with the essence of "cultivation" of smoking to death Taoist friends and not smoking poor Taoism, he quickly turned his head back, and Zhang Qian strode away from the scene. It wasn't until I entered the door of the guest room that I finally let go of my nose and mouth completely, leaning against the door frame and gasping for breath.
"What does it smell like?" Ren Wu and Ren Liu, who had been ordered to help carry the copper coins back, were tired enough to choke and were sitting at the table drinking water at the moment. Shuangshuang turned his head suspiciously, and reminded Zhang Qian in a low voice, "Shaolangjun, did you step on?" ”
"Shaolang-kun, be careful of your step! Damn, who walks the dog in the yard and doesn't clean up the shit! When you turn around, you must ask the housekeeper to teach him a lesson! ”
"No, no!" Zhang Qian was so embarrassed by the question, he hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "I met Guo Erlangjun just now and had a few tricks with him. Hey, don't talk about it, Zijuan, help me hand over my bag! ”
"It turned out to be Guo Erlangjun!" Ren Wu and Ren Liu suddenly realized, looked at Zhang Qian's gaze, and were immediately full of sympathy. "Why did Zhang Shaolangjun remember to have a visit with him? Didn't the owner of my young village remind Shaolangjun? Guo Erlangjun's favorite thing to do is to sweat before he does it with others. Once the stalemate starts, others can't stand his taste, and he will naturally win! ”
"I'll go!" Hearing this, Zhang Qian suddenly regretted it and wanted to hit his head against the wall. Dare to love the other party's smell, and most of it is deliberately made, just to disgust yourself! What the fuck is this? It wasn't good for Ren Cong to ask anyone for help at the beginning, why did he ask him?!
"But although Guo Erlangjun likes disgusting people, he is very righteous in doing things." Sympathizing with Zhang Qian's experience just now, and also grateful for his life-saving grace to his own owner, Ren Wu thought about it, and added with a smile, "His father, Guo Tingshi, is in charge of the largest express delivery line in Chang'an, and both official and non-governmental are very open-minded. And his uncle is a genuine Weizhou assassin history, and he is even valued by the emperor! ”
This is already a very obvious point, which is equivalent to directly telling Zhang Qian that Guo Nu is worth making efforts to make friends. Even if he can't use it for a while, it will only be good for him.
And Zhang Qian, unlike when he first arrived, was blind to the situation in Datang. Just listening to Ren Wu, Guo Nu's father worshiped the history of the four stabs, but he did not delay him from continuing to open the express company, and he still had some face in both black and white, so he knew that this person could not be offended. And when he heard that one of Guo Nu's uncles was still in charge of Weizhou, it suddenly became more and more clear that the bottle of wind oil essence he had just promised would not be lost. (Note 1: The history of assassination is divided into real and fictitious, and some assassins have no position or salary, and only have a title.) The specific reasons will be mentioned later, so no spoilers here. )
It happened that Zijuan took the wind oil essence from the house, Zhang Qianxin took it, and then smiled and thanked Ren Wu and Ren Liu. Immediately, no matter how uneasy the two of them returned the salute, they turned their heads and walked out of the door again with sadness, looking at their backs, how resolute and resolute they were.
"It's out of the way, whether it's for household registration, or for having one more friend in Datang in the future!" Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhang Qian cheered himself up in his heart, and quietly unscrewed the cap of the wind oil essence bottle and nodded two drops under his left and right nostrils. "It's just a few minutes of stink, and it's not a humiliation to the crotch! I think back then, King Yue Goujian, but even Baba has eaten, compared to him, Lao Tzu ......"
In the courtyard, the negotiation between the little fat man Ren Cong and Guo Nu has already come to an end. Seeing Zhang Qian turn back so quickly, both of them were overjoyed. rushed forward and greeted loudly: "Brother Zhang came back so quickly, the two of us just finished discussing ......"
"The price will be discussed later!" Since he has decided to hug Guo Nu's little thick leg in his heart, Zhang Qian is simply a good person to the end. After a long distance, he stopped, and threw the wind oil essence and the bottle into Guo Nu's arms, "Second Brother Guo will use it first!" Originally, it wasn't a precious thing! ”
"Thank you, Immortal Master!" Guo Er thanked him loudly, ran two steps quickly, and carefully caught the bottle of wind oil essence. After a few quick glances, he was unaware of himself and decisively unscrewed the plastic bottle cap.
Obviously, he also knew that the smell on his body was unpleasant, so he couldn't wait to try the curative effect of the "miracle medicine". However, before he poured out the first drop of wind oil essence from the bottle, Zhang Qian's stopping sound had already entered his heart along with the faint fragrance of wind oil essence, "Second brother, slow down!" This thing is also special when used! Otherwise, how much you use will be in vain! ”
"Huh?!" Guo Fu shuddered, and quickly twisted the bottle cap back. stared at a pair of goldfish eyes, looked at Zhang Qian pitifully, and begged the latter to hurry up and guide him.
"Before using this object, you need to bathe and change your clothes. Then rub the potion with the palm of your hand and apply it to the armpits, shoulder sockets and blood vessels of the left and right wrists. It doesn't take much, just one drop. This bottle should be enough for the second brother to use for more than half a month! After using it, if the second brother thinks the effect is acceptable, he can come to me again! Sympathizing with the other party's impatience, and in order to make his nose more comfortable as soon as possible, Zhang Qian quickly and methodically gave an answer.
This is actually the use of perfume in later generations, but the purpose is to get rid of the odor on the body, or to increase the body odor. The truth is exactly the same. Both use alcohol to suppress the secretion of sweat glands in the armpits, and use the temperature of blood in the shoulder fossa and carpal veins to promote the evaporation of spices.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, Guo went to bathe first. Turn around, and thank the immortal master for the grace of medicine. Guo Nu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he saluted Zhang sneakingly, turned around and left, "Ren Wu, please borrow your bathtub for use!" ”
"Ren Quan, take the second brother of the Guo family to the guest room across the courtyard on the left, and by the way, let someone move a bathtub and fill him with hot water." Ren Cong was also very much looking forward to the effect of the "elixir", and he didn't even think about it, so he ordered loudly.
However, when the words fell, he and Guo Nu turned their eyes to Zhang Qian again, one was so excited that his face turned red, and the other was so nervous that his lips trembled.
"Brother Zhang, you just said, you just said that Second Brother Guo can still find you when he runs out of this thing?!"
"Immortal Master, this medicine, you, will you prepare? You, you have the recipe in your hand?! ”
After asking, Ren Cong can no longer care about Guo angry. squeezed this person away with his body, and added loudly: "Brother Zhang, the formula must not be handed over to others." This potion is not a lifesaver, has a great future, and is risk-free. It's better for you to be raw than cooked......"
"Immortal Master, take a stake! My Guo family pays money, people, land and medicinal materials, and you only give prescriptions. As the young proprietor of the largest private express delivery "company" in Datang, how could Guo Nu let a mountain of gold float away in front of his eyes? Directly bumped Ren Cong with his body, and decisively increased the price, "How to divide the account, you can decide in one word." ”
"Guo Er, Brother Zhang was invited back by me!" Ren Cong was in a hurry, blushing and protesting loudly.
"Be content! Although the immortal master arrived at your house first, but the life-saving elixir, from beginning to end, I didn't ask! Not to be outdone, Guo Nu immediately retorted loudly, and at the same time blocked Zhang Qian behind him with both hands, like an angry hen, protecting the eggs that were about to hatch!
