Zhi Congruan took a sip of wine and cast his eyes out the window, the new atmosphere of Lingzhou was indeed refreshing to him.

In Zhe Congruan's mind, Lingzhou, which has the largest number of party members, has always been a poor and backward remote and poor land.

However, the merchants passing by in front of the wine shop in front of him made Zhi Congruan realize that Lingzhou was full of vitality.

After being in charge of Ruan's side for a long time, he naturally understood in his heart that if he couldn't eat enough, the people would definitely rebel.

However, if you want to be rich, you have to be a businessman.

The reason why Fuzhou is getting poorer and poorer is mainly because of the almost continuous wars, which have caused heavy losses to the merchants who go to Fuzhou to do business.

Businessmen are profit-seeking animals, not only have no money to make, but also risk losing their lives, who will come to Fuzhou?

Zhi Congruan took another sip of wine, and Fifth Brother Ma was a little worried that the old man was too eager to drink, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Old lady, you drink slowly." ”

Zhi Congruan glanced at the old servant Fifth Brother Ma, and said with a pleasant face: "I'm happy today, I want to drink a few more glasses." ”

Fifth Brother Ma has been by the side of Zhe Congruan for thirty years, he used to be the general of the Zhe family, and now, he is the indispensable butler next to the old lady.

Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. The older this person gets, the more he misses the old.

In the Zhe family, even if the current head of the family, Zhe Deran, sees Fifth Brother Ma, he has to call him affectionately, Fifth Uncle!

"Old lady, it's not a small mouthy, you really can't drink too much." Fifth Brother Ma sighed and said, "The big girl will tell the old slave in private, if the old slave doesn't persuade you, drive the old slave out of the folded house." When beggars freeze to death on the streets. ”

Zhe Congruan looked at Fifth Brother Ma interestingly, and almost laughed out loud, the big girl was a flower. It was almost raised by Brother Ma, and the two were like father and daughter, and the relationship was very good.

"Old five, I'm old, in a few years, I'm afraid I'll be too old to walk, and I don't know if there will be a chance to drink in the future." Zhi Congruan sighed. Sad spring and sad autumn, full of emotion.

Fifth Brother Ma looked at the white-headed Congruan, who was growing day by day, and felt sad in his heart. did not show the slightest emotion on his face, and comforted him with a smile: "Old lady, your body is very strong, and the sun eclipses several catties of beef and mutton." Plus three pounds of food. Even Dalang is not as healthy as you. ”

Zhi Congruan sighed and said, "What's the use of Kang Jian, I'm so old, and I still have to run around." "There was a desolation in my heart.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fifth Brother Ma hurriedly poured a glass of wine from Ruan, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Old lady, this beef is not bad." It goes well with sake. ”

Zhi Congruan raised his finger and pointed at Fifth Brother Ma, and scolded with a smile: "You want to plug my mouth with wine? ”

Fifth Brother Ma smiled. He said, "How dare the old slave?" ”

After being full of wine and food, he rested for a quarter of an hour, went downstairs and boarded the car to continue to Lingzhou City.

When queuing up to enter the city at the gate of Lingzhou City, the folding congruan who lifted the car window looked at the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate with great interest, and was putting a special bamboo sign for the people entering the city.

Under Ruan's careful observation, he found that the officers and soldiers defending the city did not take the means of searching their bodies one by one, and their attention was mainly focused on the goods accompanying the merchants.

After the merchants had registered their goods, they were surprised to find that the merchants had not paid the city tax, so they had directly entered the city with their goods.

Li Zhongyi, what kind of ghost is this? Zhe Congruan's heart is a little puzzled, if there is no tax on the merchants, where does the money come from?

When it was Ruan's turn to enter the city, Ma Wuge was worried that the officers and soldiers guarding the city would disturb the old lady, so he secretly stuffed money to a small officer who looked like a leader.

Who knows, after the officer saw the money, he immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Come on, take them all." ”

In the blink of an eye, I saw the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, with bows and arrows, swords and guns raised, and they were surrounded by Ruan and his party.

In the carriage, it was Fold Congruan, Fifth Brother Ma didn't dare to move, and hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Master Jun, what do you mean by this?" ”

The little officer smiled coldly and said, "If there is no ghost in your heart, why do you need to send money?" ”

Fifth Brother Ma was speechless for a while, and he wondered in his heart, entering the city without charging money, this is really a new thing.

Zhe Congruan walked down the carriage quickly, arched his hand at the officer and said, "This little brother is invited, we are merchants from Xizhou, and along the way, a lot of money has to be extorted at various checkpoints, so ......" He deliberately stopped halfway and did not continue.

The little officer's face softened slightly, and he said coldly: "Since it is a merchant, the accompanying goods must be registered. ”

Zhe Congruan smiled and arched his hand and said: "What the military master said is very true, the goods are all on the car, please check." ”

The petty officer didn't say a word, but ordered his men to come forward and carefully inspect the goods, and register them one by one.

After the inspection was completed, the little officer did not deliberately embarrass Fifth Brother Ma, raised his hand and let him go.

After Shun Lì mixed into the city, Ruan Yi remembered the danger just now, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Knowing the autumn after a leaf, the officers do not love money and do not stir up trouble indiscriminately, which shows that the discipline of the Shuofang army is strict.

Brother Ma Wu casually found an inn, chartered the backyard, and settled everyone down, and then walked quickly to see Ruan.

Holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, he squinted his eyes and looked at the bustling scene of traffic on the street outside the window, and was silent for a long time.

"Old lady, this matter is very evil...... "Fifth Brother Ma felt a little guilty in his heart, because of his recklessness, he almost ruined the big thing.

Zhi Congruan waved his hand and said: "Don't say it's you, even I, I didn't expect that there would be a soldier who didn't charge money." ”

"What's more, the soldiers who defend the city don't care about the swords we carry with us." Zhi Congruan suddenly laughed, "Could it be that this Li is not worried at all, someone is taking the opportunity to make trouble?" ”

Fifth Brother Ma scratched his head and said, "The villain really can't guess, what does this Li Dashuai think?" ”

He sat quietly for a long time, puzzled, since he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to, and led Ma Wuge and the others out of the inn and turned to the street.

At this time, Li Zhongyi was in the kang room in the backyard of the mansion, and a pair of twin brothers and sisters, one left and one right, were lying between his legs.

"The big girl is not well-behaved at all today, she only eats a few bites of milk, and she refuses to eat again." Fei Meiniang had a pair of jade feet, leaned on the big pillow, and gently pinched the tip of the Li family's girl's nose with her hand.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Our big girl is so young, I know that we have to go on a diet, which is a great thing." ”

Fei Meiniang glanced at Li Zhongyi, and said angrily: "Such a small point, what kind of food do you save?" Grandma said that it is normal to eat and sleep enough, and then eat when you are full. ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Fei Meiniang's bulging chest, her eyelids jumped violently, her daughter didn't want to breastfeed, he was a father, but he wanted to eat drips! (To be continued......)
