After choosing the gifts, the potter handed over the prayer notes that had been prepared to Pei Guang and Pei Ben respectively, and asked them to send them to Cao Bao and Mi Zhu's mansions respectively, and after shopping with Guo Jia for a while, he went to Mi Zhu's mansion first.

As early as when the potter left Xuzhou a year ago, Mi Zhu had already hastily agreed with him on a verbal covenant.

Although there was no legal constraint on the verbal contract between the nobles in the troubled times, it was common for them to turn their faces and repay their debts, but at least so far, the relationship between the potter and Mi Zhu is still on a benign and friendly trajectory.

I haven't seen you for more than a year, Mi Zhu has not changed, she is still so gentle and elegant, and she has the air of everyone who hides needles in her cotton.

"The eldest prince, I returned to Pengcheng yesterday, Zhu has not yet gone to the house to pay homage in person, but I rely on the prince to come to see Zhu in person, I am really sad in my heart, ashamed, ashamed."

The potter naturally replied to Mi Zhu, and said modestly: "Don't drive with Tao, we are also teachers and friends, we don't have to be so foreign, right?" ”

Mi Zhu smiled, waved his hand, and said: "You can be a friend, but this master Zhu can't afford it, I heard that the prince has already worshiped Huangfu Zhongcheng as a teacher, Zhu Yan dares to be on a par with Lord Zhongcheng?" That's never going to happen. ”

The potter pointed to Guo Jia beside him and introduced Mi Zhu.

After the introduction, Guo Jiadang first arched his hand to Mi Zhu and said: "I have admired the name of farewell for a long time, like thunder." ”

Mi Zhu was not rude, and said to Guo Jia: "Although I met Fengxiao for the first time, it was like an old acquaintance. ”

In politeness, there is a faint sense of alienation.

This is not that Mi Zhu has any opinions on Guo Jia, but Guo Jia was born in Yingchuan and has a low branch, in the eyes of businessmen like Mi Zhu, this kind of young boy with no background and cumin is not of much use to himself, and it is a waste of feelings to have too much enthusiasm.

In this era, the families, the nobles, the wealthy or the scholars all have a more or less deep-rooted sense of self-superiority, even if it is a merchant family like Mi Zhu.

Guo Jia has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he doesn't mind it very much, he casually untied the wine gourd on his waist, and drank it by himself, regardless of others.

Mi Zhu saw Guo Jia drinking wine in his living room, and couldn't help frowning, secretly saying in his heart that it was really a prodigal act.

But after all, this kid is the person brought by the pottery merchant, and Mi Zhu has the right to turn a blind eye.

"Childe is outside this time, what a big movement." Mi Zhu ordered people to serve fruit and honey water, while personally entertaining the pottery merchants, while saying: "Shang Shulang Xu Jing personally raised the son as filial piety, Runan Xu Zi will give the son ten sentences of Yuedan comments, the court enshrined the son as the Danyang County Guard, and even the Taiping Prince such a nickname is praised by the world, it seems that the son let Zhu bet on the treasure, it is indeed quite self-evident." ”

The potter smiled and didn't say anything.

Although his political gains this time are great, these things do not have a deep impact on Mi Zhu, if as expected, this old boy must have a future.

Mi Zhu saw that the pottery merchant did not squeak, nor was he embarrassed, and continued with a smile: "Not only that, Gongzi came back this time, but also brought back a lot of talents and more than 100,000 soldiers, so that my Xuzhou's momentum is unprecedentedly huge, yesterday Mi Zhu asked the envoy how to arrange these soldiers, but Tao Envoy Jun did not say anything to me, presumably his old man and son, in private has already made a conclusion, right?" ”

Hearing this, the potter couldn't help but smile - this is the point that Mi Zhu wants to ask.

"Where did you come from, where are you going, all the people who Tao brought back will go to Danyang County with me to take office, and they will not stay in Pengcheng to make trouble for you."

Mi Zhu seemed to be surprised when he heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said: "Wang Situ, Huangfu Zhongcheng, and Sima Shi of Hanoi will also go to Danyang with Gongzi?" ”

For Mi Zhu, more than 100,000 Baibo troops in Pengcheng will destroy the balance of military power in Pengcheng, but Wang Yun, who is a member of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and the foreign clans such as the Sima clan of the Hanoi Wang clan, are likely to affect the structure of the local scholars.

"Father said, let them also go to Danyang County with me, Tao has a great responsibility." The potter reassured Mi Zhu.

Hearing this, Mi Zhu, the old boy, was completely relaxed, and he nodded with a smile, feeling quite relieved.

"Gongzi went to Danyang this time, it is indeed a great responsibility, not only to settle Wang Situ, Huangfu Zhongcheng and other scholars for the monarch, but also to properly dispose of more than 100,000 Baibo soldiers, Danyang County is subordinate to Yangzhou, it is really hard work."

The potter shook his head at Mi Zhu with a smile and said, "Sharing worries for my father, how can it be said that it is hard work, but it is just a matter of duty." ”

Mi Zhu touched his beard and said slowly: "The eldest son, Mi Mou thinks that the son, as the son of the envoy, led a large group of outsiders to Danyang to take office, and there is no one of our local henchmen in Xuzhou to help him, and he can't stretch his hands and feet." ”

The potter's face was puzzled: "What does that mean?" ”

"The younger brother Mi Fang, who followed the son to the west, has taken care of the son a lot in the past year, and the son must be quite handy, right? You might as well let the younger brother assist the son to go to Danyang, although Danyang County is the place where the son is from, but the people are fierce, there are many constraints, and the original Taishou Zhou Xin has a high reputation, so let the younger brother go with the son, so there is a good response, right? ”

Although Mi Fang's ability is average, after more than a year, she does have a relationship with the potter.

If he can go to Danyang with him, he will undoubtedly be a huge help to himself, at least some things are tacit.

This acquaintance must be more convenient than the living.

The potter just wanted to say thank you to Mi Zhu, but Guo Jia, the prodigal son who had been drinking with a wine gourd next to him, quietly stretched out his hand and patted the potter's leg without leaving a trace.

The potter reacted quickly, and he just wanted to agree to Mi Zhu's recommendation, but after getting Guo Jia's hint, he immediately shut up and did not agree.

Seeing that the potter didn't answer, Mi Zhu couldn't help frowning.

After a while, I saw Mi Zhu's eyes suddenly light up.

"The two of you will wait, Zhu will go to the back hall to change clothes, and I will be back in a few days."

The potter didn't understand what Mi Zhu was going to do at this time, but he was just about to whisper something to Guo Jia right now, so he smiled at Mi Zhu along the way: "It's okay, don't drive." ”

Mi Zhu stood up, waved at the two, and then turned into the back hall and left.

As soon as Mi Zhu's figure disappeared, the potter hurriedly asked Guo Jia in a low voice: "What do you mean by you just patting me on the thigh and not letting me agree to him?" ”

Guo Jia pretended to be stupid while drinking: "Didn't Guo let you promise him?" How I don't remember. ”

"You don't remember? You don't remember what you slapped me on the thigh for? ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "What's the matter, you are not a big girl who has not been touched." ”

It's not a yellow flower girl, the problem is that I'm a yellow flower now!

Looking at Guo Jia's bastard appearance, the potter's face suddenly became gloomy, and he now began to think about whether to recruit You Donkey from outside Mi Mansion to bombard Guo Jia with two arrows to cure him.

Guo Jia obviously saw that the pottery merchant's eyes were full of danger, covered his mouth and coughed heavily, and said with a smile: "I won't let you promise him, that's for your good!" Don't you see the meaning of his move? ”

"Meaning?"

The potter rolled his eyes and wondered: "Could it be that he still wants Mi Fang to spy on me?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "That's not it, the problem is that you have to know that you have led more than 100,000 people and many forces to enter Danyang County this time, if you can really successfully control the eighteen counties of Danyang, you will definitely become a major force in the periphery of Xuzhou!" Mi Zhu asked his brother to enter Danyang with you, just to take advantage of your convenience, so that the Mi family can also get a share of Danyang County in the future. ”

When the potter heard this, he suddenly said: "Actually, I have a good relationship with the Mi family, can't I tell this soup?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and shook the wine gourd in his hand: "Of course you can't tell the difference, since you have made up your mind to repair Danyang County into your own power, then the four major warrior clans in Xuzhou are not allowed to meddle in it, once they are allowed to interfere, today it is Mi Zhu, tomorrow it is Cao Bao, and the day after tomorrow it is Wang Lang, one after another wants to extend their hands to Danyang County, so do you agree or not?" All agreed, what is the difference between Danyang County and Pengcheng? If you should respond to the Mi family but not the Cao family, wouldn't you offend people in vain? ”

The potter looked at the ghost talent with blazing eyes, and suddenly said: "Rather than this, then simply don't agree, if Danyang County enters my hands, it will be a country within a country outside Xuzhou, the four major families, no one should mix into it!" ”

Guo Jia nodded with a smile and said, "You're not too stupid." ”

At this time, Mi Zhu had already finished changing his clothes and came back, and behind him was a young beauty.

The woman's eyebrows were clear and picturesque, and her well-fitting clothes wrapped around her plump breasts, which were bulging high to show her proud arc.

Seeing this, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, and whispered to the pottery merchant: "Oh, this breast!" Mi Zhu is going to make a plan with you to make a beauty. ”

The potter also noticed the degree of restraint of the woman's breasts, and sighed: "Pink blue breasts and snow press plums...... This girl's mind is not generally broad, can I be in Mi Zhu's plan? ”

Guo Jia smiled and laughed: "It's up to you whether you are in the middle or not, I don't care, but what you just said, 'Pink blue chest snow presses plum'...... Your little article is very energetic, can you talk to Guo a few more words when you go back? …… You can get money! ”

Potter: "......"

At the moment when the two were chatting dirtily, Mi Zhu had already led the woman in.

The potter and Guo Jia hurriedly straightened up, finished whispering, and sat down on their own fronts.

A righteous gentleman should be able to face the big-breasted girl without changing his face, not to mention that there are two righteous gentlemen here.

Mi Zhu smiled and introduced to the potter and Guo Jia: "The eldest son, Mr. Guo, this is the little sister Mi Zhen, who has long admired the name of the son, and has asked a lot on weekdays. ”

When the potter heard this, he secretly thought about it.

It turned out that this one was the Mi lady who later became Liu Bei and Mi Zhu in history.

Liu Bei, this old boy, is so lucky, he can play with a big ball every night.

Mi Zhu touched his beard and said with a smile: "Sister, this is the eldest son of the envoy that the eldest brother often mentions to you on weekdays, and now he is a rare young talent." ”
