Zi Yan was very happy when she saw Qu Hao come back, and handed over the tea she had made for him. Seeing that he bought a lot of things, it was very strange: "Brother, why do you buy so many things?" ”

Qu Hao saw her get out of bed and asked her to lie down quickly: "Ziyan, today I got the confirmed news, Sister Mengyao is in Xinzheng." Tomorrow we are leaving the inn, I will take you to Chenjia Village near Zhuye, you live there for more than ten days, I will go to Xinzheng to pick up Sister Mengyao and then pick you up. These things were bought for the villagers of Chenjia Village. ”

"I'm going to Xinzheng with my brother."

"No, it's too cold now, and you can't travel far before you get sick."

"I'm cured and there's no problem at all. It would be dangerous for my brother to walk alone on a mountain road. ”

"You've just gotten better, and it's even worse if you get cold. I've been in the army, and I have experience marching alone, so you have to have faith in my brother. ”

When Zi Yan saw that she couldn't move her brother, she was so anxious that tears fell, and she cried and said that she was going to Xinzheng.

Qu Hao was very helpless, there was absolutely nothing to do with Ziyan, but he couldn't bear it when he saw the girl crying, if he persuaded her not to cry, it would only make her cry even more, so he had to simply not look at her, and sat on the side silently.

Early the next morning, Qu Hao began to pack his things. He packed the simple clothes he wanted to bring and put them in a cloth bag, and the other things in his backpack, worried that Zi Yan would be cold, and specially asked the innkeeper to prepare a portable brazier.

After a while, Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi's carriage also arrived, Qu Hao and Zi Yan walked downstairs with their luggage, and after receiving the account, they took the horse they brought, and sent Zi Yan to Zheng Shu's carriage, and put the luggage on Ji Zhi's carriage and rode on the horse.

Qu Hao asked Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi: "Two brothers, I don't have enough money in my hands now, can you take me to the largest jewelry trading office here, I want to sell a jewel." ”

"It's not far ahead, we'll take you there." Zheng Shu said as he drove the carriage to the jewelry trading place.

After coming to the jewelry trading hall to set up the carriage and horses, let Ziyan wait in the carriage, and Qu Hao, Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi entered the trading hall together.

This is a large government-run trading hall, Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi were surprised to see Qu Hao take out a night pearl from his arms and hand it to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw this treasure, he immediately caught it with both hands, for fear of falling to the ground. The shopkeeper hurriedly called the boss and handed the night pearl to the boss. The boss's eyes lit up when he saw this rare treasure, and he put his hands together to reveal a gap in the Night Pearl, only to see a beam of green and faint light coming out, which made him amazed.

"The guest officer wants to sell this?" The boss asked Qu Hao.

"Exactly." Qu Hao replied, he knew that the Night Pearl was a priceless treasure, rare in the world, and it could definitely become a treasure of the town hall here.

"This thing is the pearl of the night, because we don't have the same jewelry to compare it to, so I can only give it to you at an estimated price, do you agree?" The boss said.

"That's all there is to it, you can tell me a price." Qu Hao said.

"Thirty pounds of gold." The boss said.

Qu Hao knows that one pound in ancient times is about half a pound in modern times, and thirty pounds is equivalent to fifteen pounds in modern times.

"Okay." Qu Hao accepted the price.

After taking the thirty catties of gold handed over by the boss, Qu Hao borrowed the boss's balance to balance three catties and one catty each, took out two of the catties of gold and handed them to Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi one catty each, and said: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Ji, this is the remuneration you deserve for taking me to sell the Night Pearl and providing clues to Wu Mengyao, don't refuse." As he spoke, he tied the remaining twenty-eight pounds of gold around his waist in a cloth bag.

Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi were anxious. Say, "This is what we should do, and you will not be able to accept your honorarium." ”

Qu Hao said: "If you don't accept it, you will see the outside." Although you didn't help me with this money, for me, you didn't accept it because you made me a person who didn't know the rules and etiquette. ”

Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi saw that Qu Hao insisted, so they had to accept it.

After doing these things, Ji Zhi led everyone to Chenjia Village.

Chenjia Village is not too far from Zhuye, and it takes less than an hour to reach the entrance of the village.

In winter, Chenjia Village is desolate and silent, the withered grass is swaying in the breeze, the melting snow moistens the earth, and the residual snow leaves mottled white traces on the earth. There are no greenery left in the fields, and everything is waiting for spring to come again.

There was no one in the village of Chenjia Village, and the cold made people choose to stay at home to avoid the cold, and several thatched huts smoked from the chimneys, and several domestic dogs surrounded them and barked loudly.

Qu Hao got off the horse and led the horse to look as he walked, as if he was looking for the traces that Meng Yao had left behind.

Ji Zhi took everyone to the door of Chen Damao's house, and it could be seen that his house was the best economic situation in Chenjia Village, although it was also a thatched house, but it was obviously much larger than other people's houses.

"Big hair, big hair." Ji Zhi shouted outside the door.

Hearing someone shouting inside, the door opened, and it was Da Mao's sister Chen Qing who opened the door.

"It's Brother Ji Zhi, ah, there are so many people? Please come in. Chen Qing obviously didn't expect so many people to visit.

When the people inside heard that there were many people coming, they all walked out curiously.

"Ji Zhi, it's been a long time, haha, it's great that you still bring so many guests." Chen Damao walked out and hugged Ji Zhi, and Ermao also followed, looking at the friends who worked together happily.

"First of all, I will introduce to you the master here, this is Chen Damao, this is Chen Ermao, and their sister Chen Qing." Ji Zhi said to Zheng Shu and Qu Hao.

"Da Mao Ermao, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, come, let me introduce these friends. This is Zheng Shu, a colleague I met in Zhuye. Ji Zhi first introduced Zheng Shu to Da Mao.

"Welcome, welcome, we are all doing this, and we must take care of each other in the future." Da Mao said.

"Brother Ji Zhi often talks about your brothers, and when we met today, you are similar to what I imagined." Zheng Shu hugged his fists and greeted Da Mao Ermao.

"This brother is what he asked to come to see you, his name is Qu Hao, and he is Wu Mengyao's husband." Ji Zhi introduced Qu Hao, who was already standing in front of the Da Mao brothers, to him.

"Huh?" Chen Damao was obviously very surprised, one was that he was not mentally prepared at all, and he didn't expect Wu Mengyao's husband to find here; the second is that he didn't expect Qu Hao to live unscathed; The third is that he didn't expect Qu Hao to be so persistent in looking for Wu Mengyao.

"It's a blessing. Brother Da Mao, you are my wife's savior, and it is really a blessing to meet you today. Da Mao hadn't come back to his senses yet, so Qu Hao first hugged his fists and saluted him.

"I'm glad I would, I really didn't expect it. But speaking of your wife, I still regret it, I must have told you that my friend betrayed her, and I didn't have the ability to save her, I'm sorry for you. Chen Damao said.

"Don't say that, it's not up to you. I only found out about this yesterday. Qu Hao said.

"Let's go inside and say, it's cold outside." At this time, Chen Qing said.

"This is your sister, isn't it? Come on, Sister Chen Qing, let me introduce you to someone. I have a sister who is still in the carriage with a slight chill. Qu Hao said and let Chen Qing to Zheng Shu's carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, and helped Ziyan get out of the carriage.

"This is Sister Chen Qing." Qu Hao said to Ziyan, and then introduced to Chen Qing: "This is my sister Ziyan." ”

After saluting each other, the two little girls held hands and walked into the house.

The others also entered the house after setting up the horses and wagons. Qu Hao also walked in with two large bags of things.
