"What's so embarrassing?" Liang Mancang was a little surprised and smiled crampedly.

"That's right, since you plan to go to Nancang County to do things, you have to meet Cui Fu, he is the head of patrolling the streets and catching fast, and you will also work under him in the future." Su Duchun patted his arm as thick as iron.

"Miss Gu, this cage of dendrobium is more than five taels and one yuan, let's calculate it according to the ten taels and one catties that we said, if you get the best medicinal materials next time, please send them to Dexing, and I will keep them for the highest price." Tan Lide took five taels of silver and more than ten copper plates and handed them to Gu Qingzhu.

"And the fixed money will be deducted." Gu Qingzhu took out a small piece of silver and said.

Tan Lide gently pushed her hand away and said: "I here every winter and spring open to harvest dendrobium, most of them are strong men, every time they talk about the harvesting process, it is very thrilling, although you didn't mention how to harvest half a sentence, but I saw those mosses on your skirt, it is not easy to think."

Besides, Shicai Jincheng used twice the price, didn't say that you moved, now there are too few people who are so trustworthy, the so-called, people do not stand without trust, the industry does not prosper without trust, and the country declines without trust, the reason why my medicine store is called Dexing, that is, to keep such an old ceremony.

Look at my age, let me hold it up, our two are also fateful, don't worry about this little money, buy you a piece of fragrant pancreas laundry. ”

It is said that the clothes washed with fragrant pancreas are particularly clean and fragrant, but the price is frighteningly expensive, and a small piece of children's fists will cost thirty or forty yuan.

Gu Qingzhu is also a cheerful person, and when he saw Tan Lide say this, he withdrew his hand, carefully accepted the money, and bowed to thank him.

Occasionally, I got these five taels of silver, and the bundle of green pine has hope, although the money came quickly, but the dendrobium was almost her life to pick, and it happened to be not the season of the dendrobium harvest, she was lucky enough to pick a little bit of the rest of the people in the mountains, this way of making money, after all, is not a long-term solution, once or twice is just.

"Let's go, let's go to the county office." Several people said goodbye to Tan Lide and left together.

When I got out of the medicine store, I saw that Baoying and Yanmo were already waiting outside with their horses, and the medicines they ate and applied were all handed over to Yanmo for collection.

The county government is not far from Xishi, get on the horse and take the car, and the group will soon arrive.

Gu Qingzhu, who jumped out of the carriage, looked around, and saw the black and gray face of the county government, dignified and majestic, and two officials holding a killing stick, standing upright at the door.

Cui Fu was coming out of the corner gate at this time, glanced at the group of people in front of the door, and his eagle-like gaze quickly locked on Liang Mancang, who was sturdy with a horn bow on his back.

"I was saying I was going to look for you, and look, who did I bring with me?" Su Wanchun smiled and pointed at Liang Mancang and said to Cui Fu.

"This is ......," Cui Fu asked hesitantly.

"It's Liang Mancang you said last time, I've seen his kung fu, but it's amazing." Su Duchun gave a thumbs up and praised.

"A few days ago, Xiao Geng praised you in front of me, and when I saw it today, I really had an outstanding demeanor." Cui Fu stepped forward and saluted with his fists.

"Brother Xiao praises falsely, and the patrol officer will take care of it in the future." Liang Mancang hurriedly returned the gift.

"In the future, we will all be brothers, you don't have to be so polite, I will be a few years older than you, just call me Brother Cui." Cui Fu patted him on the shoulder.

"After walking for most of the day, come into the house and have a cup of tea." Su Duchun led everyone into the inner house from the side of the corridor.

Su Jin was an honest official, and there were only two fathers and sons in the family, so he did not buy a mansion in Nancang County, but only opened up two small roads in the east and west at the entrance of the yamen to lead directly to the inner house, and later married Mu Jiecheng, so he simply repaired the house and separated the courtyard.

The inner house is not big, divided into two small courtyards, Su Jin and his wife live in the Qingfeng Courtyard in the east, Su Duchun lives in the Leyuzhai in the west courtyard, in the middle is a small garden for planting flowers and raising fish, there is a moon cave door connected, both sides can open the door to enjoy the scenery, but they are locked on weekdays, there are years of grandmother guarding, nothing is not open to each other.

Because Mu Jiecheng is young, and because Mu Jincheng and Su Duchun play no matter how old or young, therefore, except for major days, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, New Year's Festival, etc., he needs to be greeted according to etiquette, and at other times, he is not required to settle down every morning and dusk, so Su Duchun only needs to ask his father for peace in the study of the yamen.

At this time, a group of people entered the Le Reading Zhai, only to see a small courtyard, planted with some orchids and daylilies, the inside of the layout is simple and generous, the black lacquer beech wood table and chair case, the atmosphere is low-key, the books can be seen everywhere, or roll or fold, waiting for the owner to read at any time.

The big girl in the courtyard Tian Xiang took two or three little girls with a total horn, carefully packed up the books, burned incense and cooked tea, served melons and fruits snacks, everyone sat together, ate tea and chatted, without the constraints of the elders, they were comfortable, sitting and lying at will, so happy.

"Yanmo, go and bring the clouds here." Su Duchun waved his hand.

"Whoa!" Yan Mo flew away.

After a while, Yan Mo brought a tall steed from the back stable, and saw that its whole body hair was black and shiny, and its four hooves were snow-white, as if it was galloping in the clouds without the horse's hooves, so it was called chasing the clouds.

"Mancang, you have been in the barracks, you are naturally an expert in bows and arrows and horses, and chasing clouds is a good horse, follow me, it's a pity to die in the stable, it's better to send it to you." Su Duchun stepped forward and touched Chaiyun's mane.

This horse, he has been raising it for two years, feeding it and washing it, but he can only watch Yan Mo walk the horse on his behalf, this kind of involuntary pain, it is difficult for others to understand one or two.

"Twilight Spring, this is given to you by your grandfather Lin Shangshuling, I haven't even spoken, but you want to give it to him!" Mu Jincheng was a little surprised.

"I can't overdo anything to repay the grace of saving my life, not to mention that it is a horse that I can only look at, not ride, if my grandfather knows, the reward will be more than this." Su Duchun smiled lightly like the wind and said slowly.

"He is a fool and a fool, and today he has obtained two good things that people have dreamed of for many years, Mr. Shangguan's bow and arrow and Yandi Divine Horse." Mu Jincheng was quite emotional and muttered in a low voice.

"If the little uncle really wants it, I ask my uncle who serves in the ordnance superintendent to find you a good horse, and the grassland horses exchanged for the tea and horse division every year will be registered with him." Su Wanchun said thoughtfully.

"Forget it, forget it, my riding skills are not much better than archery, and good things are wasted for me." This time, Mu Jincheng had self-knowledge and waved his hand again and again.

"Such a valuable gift, I dare not accept it as a mountain hunter!" Liang Mancang fell in love with Chasing Yun at a glance, but in the end, his eyelids jumped and politely declined.

"Bow and horse gift hero, there are always people in this world who are worthy of these good things!" Su Duchun shoved the reins in his hand into his hand.

Chaiyun lowered his head and snorted, and the hot breath exhaled on Liang Mancang's arm, hot, and in an instant, he felt as if he had returned to the bloody battlefield where the war drums shook the sky and the horn urged him to conquer.

"Brother Mancang, Master Su sent you these, not only to repay your kindness, but also to expect you." Gu Qingzhu pulled the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice.

"Brother, take it, he protects the safety of the people every day, which is the best reward for Su Gongzi." Cui Fu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Liang Mancang silently clenched the reins.

"The tea art of Tianxiang is not something that can be seen in the future, besides, this is the best flag gun tea cake." Mu Jincheng stood in front of the door and urged.

A few people turned back and sat down for a while, Su Duchun took Bai Yuxiao to play, the room was full of tea and elegant sound, and everyone only felt that their hearts were clear and full of fragrance.

Mu Jiecheng heard the housekeeper's return in Qingfeng Courtyard, so he specially selected a few exquisite dim sum and sent someone to send them over, and asked if he wanted to book a table outside for a banquet to stay.

Su Duchun sent Tian Xiang over to thank him, only saying that he had made his own arrangements, and he didn't worry about it.

"Twilight Spring, didn't you want to find a purple bamboo to make Xiao earlier, but is there a suitable one?" Mu Jincheng poured a cup of tea for Su Duchun, remembered and asked.

"I searched for a few places around Nancang County, but I didn't see Zizhu, probably only in the south." Su Duchun said with some disappointment.

Mu Jincheng took a piece of lotus seed cake, leaned on the chair and said while eating, "Do you want my second brother to help you find it?" He knew a lot of people, and there may have been a few familiar merchants to the south. ”

The lotus seed cake was originally extremely soft, and when he spoke, the crumbs sprayed on the hands of Gu Qingzhu, who was tilting his head and talking to Liang Mancang next to him, she glared at him with disgust, not wanting to spoil the scenery, so she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and dusted it off.

She bowed her head, revealing a snow-white goose neck under the placket of her clothes, and a purple bamboo hairpin tied in a black bun.

The hairpin is a cut of purple bamboo branches, the bamboo is polished very smooth, because of the long time, with an oily deep purple luster, if it weren't for Mu Jincheng being so close at this time, it would almost be invisible.

"Gu Qingzhu, is the one you are wearing on your head a purple bamboo?" Mu Jincheng said with some excitement.

"yes, what's wrong?" At the right time, she was talking to Liang Mancang about which mason in the nearby village had good craftsmanship, and she didn't listen carefully to what they said.

"Miss Gu, where did you find this purple bamboo branch, can you take me there?" When Su Duchun heard this, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked anxiously, it is rare for an elegant and indifferent person like him to have an urgent time.

"I haven't seen it anywhere else, but this is a bush in my house, which grows in a bamboo forest, and my mother brought it from the south to plant it." Gu Qingzhu didn't know why the two of them were interested in this, so he looked left and right at them, and said suspiciously.

"That'...... That's great. Su Duchun's face was happy, he really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, and then he asked a little pleadingly, "Can you cut your love and give me a branch?" I've wanted to make a purple bamboo flute for a long time. ”

"This ......" Gu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, biting his lip and saying nothing.

Seeing Gu Qingzhu's sudden hesitation, the anxious Mu Jincheng didn't choose to speak: "Do you want money again?!" ”

"How can you say that about Qingzhu! You are a noble son born in wealth and pampered, where do you know her suffering! The angry Liang Mancang pushed down Mu Jincheng.

What if you gave me a good bow BMW? The lives of people in the mountains are hard, but they are not cheap!

Mu Jincheng was stunned when he sat on the chair, and the people next to him were also silenced by the sudden change, and the originally harmonious and cheerful scene became even colder and more lonely than the cold winter wax moon!
