For the merchants of the eight provinces who bought and sold salt tea, Wu Wenxi was not only the Taoist who held the power of Sichuan salt tea, but also the younger brother of Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang. Now the Cantonese bandits occupy Jiangning and Yangzhou, the water transport is blocked, and the Huai salt cannot be transported to the Huguang area, which originally belonged to the two Huai salt transport divisions, and the saint has issued an order to let Sichuan receive help.

In other words, this is to lead from the younger brother, go to the salt factory to buy salt and sell it to the elder brother! With such a large population in Huguang, you can imagine what a big deal this is.

Most of the people who have been trading Sichuan salt have been Shanxi merchants, which is similar to most of the Anhui merchants who are doing Huai salt trading. Now Sichuan salt can be sold to Huguang justifiably, and Huguang merchants naturally don't want this piece of fat to be snatched away by Shanxi merchants, so as soon as they knew that Wu Wenxi was coming to Ba County, they rushed to Chengdu to pick up the car before the Shanxi merchants, and welcomed Wu Wenxi from Chengdu to Huguang Guild Hall.

Kechang Chen has been very busy these days, not only to receive Wu Daotai well, but also to help his fellow villagers turn away those who Wu Daotai does not need to see. But Wu Daotai not only had friends, but also family members, as well as the soap li brought from Chengdu, and Chen Kechang simply asked Zhu Er, the head of the tea gang, to take a dozen porters to guard the periphery of the hall, as long as he saw those unrelated businessmen all in the way.

Duan Jiqing came to visit him a few times before, but he was all stopped by Zhu Er, and he could only take advantage of the excitement again and again and return in defeat.

It is worth mentioning that this was not only Zhu Er's grudge and deliberately making things difficult, but also Chen Kechang's acquiescence. In the eyes of Chen Kechang, Duan Jiqing is no longer the military manager of the government, especially after the death of Gu Zhongzheng, who had been a supervisor of the imperial history, Duan Jiqing, who had lost his backer, was a small businessman who had shit luck, got some tea, and bought and sold tea.

Duan Jiqing was also very aware of this, and had been forbearing, but he didn't want to endure it anymore today, so he walked to the vicinity of the hall and turned around to make a look, and the head of the Guan team nodded understandingly, deliberately slowed down and followed behind with Zhang Shiheng.

"Duan Jingcheng, why are you here again?" Without waiting for Duan Jiqing to speak, Zhu Er greeted him and said with a smile: "Lord Wu is meeting the master of Bishan County, and after meeting the master of Bishan County, he will meet several other masters." If you don't believe it, there are seven or eight sedan chairs at the door. Please go back, Lord Wu really didn't have time to see you today. ”

"Zhu Er, you asked me to talk to Lord Wu's family, and I am tired of Lord Wu's family to help report it." Duan Jiqing pleaded with his mouth, and his hand was not idle, and he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket.

Zhu Er looked at the Guan team leader who followed behind, secretly thinking that you also have today, and hugged his arms and smiled: "Duan Jingcheng, I am an errand boy, and I am not Lord Wu's family, how can I accept your door bag!" ”

"But your current errand is similar to Lord Wu's family, help, let me go and talk to Lord Wu's family."

"Duan Jingcheng, I'm sorry, I can't take your money, and I can't help you with this favor."

"Then it's okay for me to report to Mr. Zhang, Lord Wu's friend behind the scenes, right?"

"No, Mr. Zhang is busy, and he doesn't have time to see you."

"Can't be accommodating at all?" Duan Jiqing asked with a bitter face.

"I can't." Zhu Er shook his head.

Duan Jiqing pretended to be lost, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around to meet him and said, "Second Brother Zhu, I really have an urgent matter to ask to see Mr. Zhang." ”

"What's the urgency, Duan Jingcheng, don't be joking, what can you do if you quit your yamen's errand early?" Zhu Er asked with a bit of sarcasm.

"I ...... I'm really in a hurry, do you see it, that young master is the son of Mr. Zhang's family, people have come all the way from Yizhen's hometown to find his father, you can't stop the father and son from reuniting, right? ”

Zhu Er looked in the direction of Duan Jiqing's finger, and sure enough, he found that there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old offspring next to Guan Bantou, but how did he look like a young master, he thought that it must be a lie, after all, if Mr. Zhang really had a family member come to join him, he would not go to him first Duan Jiqing, and was thinking about how to drive them away, Chen Kechang came over and said: "What's the matter, Lord Wu is discussing with a few masters inside, you can't make a loud noise at the door!" ”

"Captain Chen, I can be regarded as seeing you, we didn't make a loud noise, I have something." Duan Jiqing arched his hand.

"What's the matter?" Kechang Chen asked in a low voice.

"Chief Chen, do you see it, that is the son of Mr. Zhang's family. Wasn't Yizhen occupied by the Taiping bandits, people escaped with nine deaths, and came all the way to our Sichuan to find his father, do you think this is a hurry? ”

Guest Chief Chen hasn't gone out in any year, he didn't run less in the past, and as the guest head of the Huguang Guild Hall, he was very well-informed, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw Duan Jiqing talking with a nose and eyes.

Duan Jiqing asked with a bitter face: "Chief Chen, what are you laughing at?" ”

"You're laughing."

"What did I tease you?"

"Duan Jingcheng, your nonsense doesn't look like it at all," Chen Kechang also hugged his arms like Zhu Er, looked at Duan Jiqing with a smile and said: "Yi is really lost, and Yangzhou is also lost, but as far as I know, this time is not right." ”

"Why can't you do it?"

"You don't want to think about how far away Master Wu and Mr. Zhang's hometown Yizhen is from us, even if the waterway is not obstructed, Mr. Zhang's son-in-law went out from Yizhen on the day he fell, and he couldn't catch up with Ba County in a hurry. Besides, even if people are fast, how did he know that Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang would come to Ba County? I must go to Chengdu first, and it will take a few days to get here from Chengdu. This time is not right at all, do you say it is full of loopholes? ”

"Captain Chen, why don't you believe what I said, when did I Duan Jiqing deceive you?"

"Don't talk about this, it's boring to say it, please go back, Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang really don't have time to see you today, I'll help you report when Lord Wu and Mr. Zhang are free, and let Zhu Er call you when the time comes."

"You ...... It's just that you don't let you in, and you don't even let you report it, which is really unreasonable! Duan Jiqing pretended to be embarrassed and angry, and shouted at the top of his voice while rushing in: "Lord Wu, Lord Wu, I have a letter for you!" Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, your family Shiheng is from his hometown! ”

"Shi Heng, those turtle sons are blocking and not letting in, call your father!" Guan Bantou stabbed Zhang Shiheng's arm very tacitly, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, your son-in-law is coming to you!" Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang......"

"Duan Jingcheng, what are you doing here?" Chen Kechang was in a hurry, and was about to let the porters take him away, but Zhang Shiheng, who had just reacted, immediately shouted: "Dad, third master, I'm Shiheng!" I'm coming for you! Dad, you're not there, Dad, I'm really Shiheng! ”

I can't understand a word, it sounds like an accent from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Chen Kechang was stunned, Zhu Er didn't dare to act rashly, but he still stopped everyone from entering. Duan Jiqing couldn't help but laugh and shouted: "Zhang Dejian, Zhang Dejian, your son Zhang Shiheng is looking for you......"

Zhang Dejian, who was busy settling accounts, heard the commotion outside, but he was too focused on settling accounts and didn't care too much, until he heard the familiar local accent and heard Duan Jiqing call his name, but he still felt like he was dreaming, and he couldn't believe that his son was really here.

Wu Wenxi, who was sitting in the flower hall and talking to several magistrates, walked out of the hall first, looked at Zhang Shiheng, who was stopped by several porters, and asked in his hometown: "Are you Shiheng?" ”

Zhang Shiheng saw Wu Wenxi when he was a child, and Wu Wenxi didn't have many changes, so he recognized it at a glance, jumped up excitedly and said: "Third master, third master, I am really Shiheng, don't you remember me?" ”

"You've grown so tall, I only remember what you looked like when you were a child, come here, hurry up, tell me, how did you come here alone?"

"Third master, I'm coming to my dad. By the way, this is the letter that the sixth master asked me to give you. Zhang Shiheng hurriedly took out a letter from Wu Wenming that Wu Wenming asked him to bring from his inner pocket, and couldn't help but ask: "Third master, where is my father?" ”

"Your dad is in there, Dejian, Dejian! Are you deaf, your family Shiheng is coming to you! Wu Wenxi has been worried about the safety of his family these days, and he really can't sleep well, so he turned around and shouted, and then asked eagerly while opening the letter: "Shiheng, tell the third master first, when did you leave home, and did the bandits arrive at Yizhen when you came?" ”

"Third master, when I left, the bandits were attacking Jiangning, you don't have to worry at home, Uncle Han has already asked the third child of Su Xiucai's family to send a letter to the sixth master. When I left from my hometown, the sixth master also said that he would send all the ladies and young ladies to Taizhou, and if it was not safe to send them to Taizhou, Uncle Han would take them to the oblique field......"

Zhang Dejian rushed out of the hall and found that it was indeed his son, and was about to speak, when Wu Wenxi asked again: "Which Uncle Han?" ”

"Third master, what you know is Han Patrol, who has done the first thing in the Chongqing Hall in the capital, but I heard Master Duan say that Uncle Han led a thousand Xiangyong to fight a big victory in Wanfu Bridge after we left.

"Dong Weng, what Shi Heng said must be Han Zhixing, we met when we were in the capital." Zhang Deqiang endured excitement and reminded.

"Oh, I remember." Wu Wenxi realized that the father and son were going to be reunited, and looked at the letter and said, "Let's go in first, let's go in and talk about it." ”

"Dad!"

"Shi Heng, it's really me, you...... You're so tall, I can't remember what you look like if I don't see you again. Zhang Dejian couldn't control his excitement anymore, and hugged his son in tears.

Duan Jiqing didn't know if he really remembered his son-in-law who was an official in Jiangsu, or pretended, anyway, he was moved by this situation, rubbed his eyes and said: "Captain Chen, Zhu Er, have you seen it, it's really the son of Mr. Zhang's family, you not only don't believe it, but you won't let us in!" ”

Chen Kechang calmed down, realized that he was on Duan Jiqing, and hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhang forgives his sins, Mr. Zhang forgives his sins, there are no beads in the eyes, and I really don't know that this is your son-in-law." ”

"He who does not know is not guilty." Zhang Dejian's father and son reunited, how could they care about this, hugged their son and turned around: "Brother Duan, come in, come in if you have something to say." ”
