Early the next morning, Uncle Zhou drove Jia Jingmin to Wu's house as he wished. Jia Song, Qi shopkeeper, Wang Erwa, follow all the way.

At the foot of the steps in front of the Wu family, the group waited at the station. The shopkeeper stepped forward to call the door.

Jia Song looked at the gate of the Wu family, and secretly felt ruthless in his heart: "One day, I will also have a high-gate compound like this!" ”

The shopkeeper Qi negotiated a few words in front of the Wu family, and saw a steward come out and lead the carriage into the Wu family's courtyard through the side door. When the carriage stopped, Ruyi handed the cash box to Jia Song, jumped out of the car, and helped Jia Jingmin out. The steward took the group to the main hall parlor.

Wu Jin had already been waiting in the living room, and when he saw Jia Jingmin and others coming in, he immediately got up and burst into a hearty laugh: "Let's just say that today, my magpie bird is chirping non-stop, but it is Miss Jia who is here." ”

Jia Song said: "Originally, my sister didn't use it, but Boss Wu had to sign it herself." I have to come today, will Boss Wu know? ”

A trace of disgust flashed in Wu Jin's eyes, and he said haha: "This is Jia Song?" I haven't seen you for a long time, I've grown up again, and I've been admitted to show talent, right?! ”

"Nope!" Jia Song replied hard.

"Then this year, you should be able to get in, right? The body is so good, it is a pity not to take the test to do things in the imperial court. Wu Jin couldn't help but have a mockery on his face.

"I just want to do a good deal. Like you, it's good to donate a name in the future! Jia Song pushed back.

Wu Jin nodded, but he didn't smile: "Hehe." Then I'll wait and see how you can donate a fame. However, if we can become relatives, this donation will be a trivial matter. ”

Jia Song snorted: "Don't dare to climb high." ”

Jia Jingmin smiled reluctantly: "Boss Wu, we are here to load the goods today, I don't know if Boss Wu is ready?" ”

"That's it!" Wu Jin smiled and said, "Miss Jia, rest assured, the way of business is honesty." I answered the shopkeeper, and the cashier was three hundred taels today. The remaining two hundred taels Miss Jia signed a credit agreement. Five hundred taels of silk are ready. Right now it's in the yard. Miss Jia signed an IOU agreement and could be pulled away. ”

Jia Jingmin smiled slightly: "This is the best, thank you Boss Wu for being accommodating." ”

"When you opened your cloth shop, you just got the goods from me, and after so many years of dealing, there is still some trust in this." Wu Jin beckoned, and a steward held a piece of paper and carefully placed it on the table, with pen and ink already prepared next to it.

Jia Jingmin and Jia Song took a closer look, and the agreement was indeed in order, that is, an agreement of two hundred taels of silk on credit. No interest shall be charged on the payment of silver or the equivalent of silk within three days. After three days, the daily interest is 400 yuan. This agreement is considered a favor and gives three days of convenience. After all, when the shopkeeper Qi came to talk, he agreed to repay the loan in three days at most.

After reading it carefully, Jia Jingmin took up the pen and signed her name. Then Jia Song opened the cash box, took out three gold ingots, and put them on the table.

Jia Jingmin said: "Thank you Boss Wu for the convenience, this is 30 taels of gold ingots exchanged for the quality warehouse, and 300 taels of silver." ”

A steward stepped forward and took the gold ingots and the credit agreement. Wu Jin smiled and said: "I'm here, prepare a first-class banquet, and invite Miss Jia, Brother Jia, to rest here for a while and have lunch together?" ”

Jia Jingmin shook her head: "Thank you, it's just that we are in a hurry to hand over the goods, and we also want to send you the arrears as soon as possible." So pick up your order now. ”

Wu Jin smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, Wu does not dare to force it." Steward Feng, you take them to inspect the goods! ”

The steward answered. stepped forward and said to Jia Jingmin: "Please follow me." ”

In the backyard of the Wu family, Steward Feng and Shopkeeper Qi, one of them had a list in their hands, a guy and Wang Erwa lifted a silk horse, and another guy sang: "Python satin, full of wind and clouds, four horses." Golden velvet butterfly satin, 10 horses. Red silk jacket and blue satin, ten horses ......"

The value of top-grade silk is high, and the number of five hundred taels of silk is not much. The tea is counted. Steward Feng took the list and smiled at Jia Jingmin: "If the inventory is correct, please ask Miss Jia to sign it." ”

After taking Jia Jingmin to sign, Steward Feng said: "Miss Jia, there are so many silks, it is not convenient to call a car outside without a cover." It's better to use the Wu family's box car to help you pull it, and you can give the guy a little money when you get to the place. What do you think? ”

The box car is a baffle around the board car, with a cover cloth on it, which is generally not very shaped, and is not easy to stack the goods, and some valuables, such as silk, are pulled by the box car, and the people on the street cannot see it, so as not to be miscellaneous.

Steward Feng's suggestion is actually quite pertinent. Jia Songdu felt that this was a good intention, and he couldn't refuse.

The process of picking up the goods was quite smooth.

came out of Jia's house, because Hu Shang was mixed with people and anxious, and he didn't pay much attention to Dahua etiquette. Jia Jingmin definitely can't go. So Jia Jingmin, Ruyi, took Uncle Zhou's car and went home directly.

Jia Song, the shopkeeper of Qi, Wang Erwa, took the two men of the Wu family and pulled the box car to Hu Shang's residence.

The shopkeeper led the way, and the group came to the front of a large courtyard. Several Hu people came over and greeted the shopkeeper Qi warmly.

Several people gathered around the box cart and walked into the courtyard. There were also three carts in the yard, all kinds of goods were piled up on the ground, and six or seven people were busy counting.

The shopkeeper Qi chatted with a Hu businessman, and the Hu businessman glanced at Jia Song, smiled, and shook Jia Song's shoulders: "They are all friends!" Welcome to me! ”

A strong smell rushed into his nostrils, and Jia Song pretended to smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled and said, "Young Master Jia, otherwise, we will order the goods first, and they will count us after the inventory is completed." ”

The silk was one by one, and several people quickly took off the silk from the car. Jia Song took out two pieces of broken silver and sent away the Wu family's men.

Jia Song and Qi shopkeepers, Wang Erwa and the three of them guarded the silk, watching those Hu businessmen order other people's goods, and there was a word of gossip in their mouths.

Suddenly, there was a sparse commotion, but when I was counting and carrying, I accidentally broke a few porcelain plates. Several Hu people suddenly made a fuss and argued. Jia Song and the others frowned darkly. I don't understand what they're saying.

Several Hu merchants argued with each other for a long time, but finally calmed down and continued to order. Jia Song also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, counting on them, and his movements were more swift.

Hu Ren, who began to take his shoulders, came over and said to a few people: "Friends, you go to the hall to rest for a while, we will be very fast, and we will soon collect the silk and satin." ”

Shopkeeper Qi whispered: "Young Master Jia, it's okay for us to stay here, it's better to go to the hall and sit and drink some water, Wang Erwa can sit by the door of the hall, and you can also see the goods in the yard." ”

Jia Song was also irritable in his heart, and nodded.

The three of them went to sit in the hall, but no one came to pour some tea. Shopkeeper Qi was a little embarrassed and said: "Hehe, they do not have hospitality!" ”

Jia Song smiled bitterly: "It's okay, as long as you can count it quickly." ”

Wang Erwa sat by the door, put her eyes on the courtyard, and turned back to Jia Song and said, "Young master, I think there will be a while, they seem to have miscounted now, and they took out the box of porcelain and counted it again." ”

Shopkeeper Qi shook his head: "Be patient, anyway, today, the inventory will be completed." ”

Jia Song sighed: "It seems that it is too late to go to the quality warehouse, so it will be a few hundred more money." ”

After sitting for a while, Jia Song said, "Shopkeeper Qi, can you get some water?" Wang Erwa also said: "Yes, I went out in the morning, it was noon, and I didn't drink a sip of water." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and got up to go out. After a while, I saw a Hu merchant carrying a large teapot, and the shopkeeper Qi came over with three earthen bowls.

The Hu Shang put down the teapot and left, and the shopkeeper opened three bowls, and said in his mouth while pouring tea: "I personally washed the bowls, you can drink them with confidence." The tea that these Hu merchants drank was called horse tea. Quench thirst and quench oiliness. But the taste of boiling is heavy, so let's drink it. ”

Jia Song picked up a bowl of tea, took a sip, and frowned: "Bitter." Shopkeeper Qi smiled: "They use brick tea to boil." The taste is very different from the tea we drink. ”

Jia Song nodded: "I have also heard of brick tea, it is said to taste similar to the black tea on our side, it is okay, except that the taste is a little stronger, you can also drink it." "Take a sip and drink a bowl of tea.

Wang Erwa didn't distinguish the taste of tea, so she picked up the bowl and drank a bowl in a few sips.

The shopkeeper Qi refilled the two of them, and the three of them drank tea and talked a few words of gossip. After a while, Jia Song felt that his eyelids were gradually heavy, his head was a little dizzy, and when a little doubt rose in his heart, his head was stunned, and with a click, the earthen bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and Jia Song's body was weak and fell to the ground......

"Young Master, Young Master Jia! Master! Jia Song was awakened by a scream, and tried to open his eyes, seeing Wang Erwa's anxious face.

"What happened?" Jia Song's head was still a little dizzy, but there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Wang Erwa panicked and said, "Young master, there's something wrong with that tea!" We were fascinated, and I had just woken up and saw the young master fall to the ground. I was startled, and when I looked in the yard, there was no one! Young master, our goods were deceived by those Hu merchants! ”

Yes! Jia Song sat up with a spirit: "What about the shopkeeper Qi?" ”

"I don't know, it's just the two of us here!"

Jia Song stumbled into the courtyard, the courtyard was empty, and suddenly it was like a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe, and the whole heart was cold. Jia Song sat down on the steps with his buttocks, only to feel a pain in his head.

Wang Erwa came over and hurriedly said, "Young master, let's chase it!" ”

"Where to chase? The sun is in the west, and we have been fascinated for more than an hour! It's long gone! Jia Song said dejectedly: "Let's go, go to the county government to report to the official." ”

In the backyard of Jia's house, seeing that the sun was in the west, Mrs. Jia and Jia Jingmin couldn't wait patiently, and after a while, they asked Ruyi to go out to have a look. Ruyi ran more than ten times, and Qin Feng, who was resting in the outer courtyard, felt dazzled, and couldn't help asking: "Ruyi, what are you doing in and out?" ”

"Alas, Mr. Qin, my young master went out to deliver the goods, and now he hasn't come back, Mrs. Miss, I'm in a hurry. I'll just come out and have a look. ”

Qin Feng nodded: "Isn't it time to come back?" ”

Ruyi said: "That's not either, this kind of delivery is not common, and I can't count the time." It's just a guess, it's time to come back. ”

Qin Feng said: "If you're in a hurry, send someone to take a look." ”

Ruyi had a bitter face: "It's all the shopkeeper Qi who is in contact, we don't know where Hu Shang lives." ”

Qin Feng's face sank, and he suddenly had a premonition in his heart......
