The big boat crossed the Han River and arrived at the pier outside Yangyang. Deng Tu's brother Deng She was already waiting on the dock.

Deng She, Deng Tu's brother, is in his forties, with a white and handsome face and a long beard, and he doesn't look like Deng Tu at all. And Teresa Teng is like this uncle better than her father Deng Tu. Could it be that there is something in the Deng family that outsiders don't know? Zhang Miao's heart was full of malicious speculation.

Deng She is now a Cao official under the account of Mu Liu of Jingzhou, responsible for warehousing, and is considered a middle-level official. After hearing that everyone had saved Deng Tu's family, he thanked everyone again and again and invited everyone to live in his house.

Zhang Jin thanked Deng She for his kindness, but refused his invitation, a group of more than 20 people, it was too troublesome to go to someone's house.

So Deng She called the servant and asked him to take his own seal letter and lead the big guy to the post house in Xiangyang City.

"All expenses are counted in my account, you don't have to shirk!" Deng She said boldly.

"Brother Zhang will go to the pavilion to settle down first, and I will visit in person tomorrow, don't worry about your affairs, it's all on me!" Deng Tu said angrily.

The purpose of the group in Sanshui Village, Zhang Jin has already told Deng Tu, after all, everyone has no foundation in Xiangyang, and they need to get help from others to sell the honey candle for a big price.

"Zhang Jun, there will be a period later!" Deng Lihua lifted the curtains of the car window and said to Zhang Miao with a smile.

Zhang Miao nodded slightly: "See you soon!" ”

When entering Xiangyang City, Zhang Miao deliberately looked at the moat and found that the width was only more than ten zhang, so he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. In later generations, Zhang Miao went to Xiangyang and was very impressed by the moat, the widest part was 200 meters, like a big river, in ancient times, such a moat was enough to make the enemy desperate! And now, this moat is just over ten zhang and less than fifty meters wide!

"Deng Tu's brother is really good, this post house is really good!" In the room of the post house, Zhang Chuang sat on the wide bed, looked at the decoration in the room, and shouted excitedly.

Zhang Jin also nodded slightly: "Such a good residence, it costs a lot of money to stay every night, Deng She is really bold." ”

Zhang Miao sighed slightly in her heart, knowing that the reason why Deng She was enthusiastic about everyone was just to return the favor for her younger brother Deng Tu. Deng She has always spoken highly, and he does not look down on the big guy in his heart. On the contrary, Deng Tu's words and deeds are from the heart, which is completely different from his brother's style.

But if you know this kind of thing, you just know it in your heart, and there is no need to tell anyone else.

Not to mention that the group rested in the pavilion, let's talk about Deng Tu. Along the way, he excitedly talked to his brother Deng She about what happened on the way, and praised Zhang Miao very much in his words.

Deng She's home is in Xiangyang Xicheng, which is a two-entry house, and Deng Tu's father and daughter are placed in the east wing.

After settling in, the brothers sat opposite each other in the hall, and Deng She said to Deng Tu: "The Sanshui Zhang family has a life-saving grace for our Deng family, so let's think about returning their favor." Help them find shelter, help them sell their candles for a high price, and then give them some possessions when they leave.

But in the future, don't get too close to them, especially Lihua, and don't meet the kid surnamed Zhang again. ”

"Big brother, why is that?" Deng Tu's eyes widened and he asked in shock.

Deng She waved his hand: "It's just a bunch of mud legs, there's nothing to make friends with." Second brother, I will operate for you, help you find a military position in the state governor's mansion, and even find a wishful husband for Lihua.

With Lihua's appearance and conduct, not to mention marrying the son of the state shepherd, at least she has to marry a child of a family. If she has too much contact with that Zhang Miao and has ideas, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. ”

When it came to his daughter, Deng Tu fell silent, and finding a wishful husband for his daughter has always been his greatest wish.

Although Zhang Miao is good, her family background is too ordinary, and she is not a good match!

"Brother, the Zhang family has saved the lives of my whole family, and I will definitely try my best to repay it, and don't say anything about alienating them. As for Lihua, it depends on her brother's wishes. Deng Tu sighed.

Deng She shook his head, he was helpless against Deng Tu's stubbornness, he also knew that this brother's temperament, he was righteous and bold since he was a child, and he would not do anything that violated friendship, and it was already the limit to be able to promise not to let Deng Lihua and Zhang Miao contact again.

Whether it is Deng Tu or Deng She, they all have great hopes for Deng Lihua, hoping that Deng Lihua can marry well and take the Deng family to soar. In Dahan, it is not uncommon for a peasant girl to be a mother!

After having lunch at the pavilion, I told Zhang Chuang and others to stay in the pavilion not to run around and watch the goods! Zhang Jin took Zhang Miao and Zhang Ping out of the pavilion and went to the market to inspect the market of honey candles.

Xiangyang Dayi is naturally not comparable to the countryside of Sanshui Village, the roads are wide, the streets are full of pedestrians, and it is extraordinarily prosperous.

The place to buy and sell things is in the West Market, not too far from the pavilion, and before entering the West Market Gate, the noise will come to the face. I saw the inside and outside of the square door rubbing shoulders, and pedestrians bustling in and out.

In the market, there are many stalls, and the sound of selling is endless.

"My good man, there are so many people, it's much more lively than Dengyi Market!" Zhang Ping suddenly grew his mouth.

"Rare and weird! Xiangyang is the capital of the seven counties of Jingxiang, and the world's largest towns, how can it be compared with the township of Dengyi? Zhang Miao glanced at him and said lightly.

"Look, there's a candy seller!" Zhang Ping pointed to the front and shouted like a child.

"Okay, don't call it, I won't have the money to buy it for you to eat if I call it again." Zhang Jin sighed and said.

Zhang Miao glanced at Zhang Ping and sighed, poor baby, I have never seen anything on the market.

In order not to make Zhang Ping ugly, Zhang Jin didn't wander around anymore, went straight into a grocery store, and asked about honey candles.

"Honey candles? It's hard to find, but the shop doesn't. The guy said with a smile, and he didn't greet the three of them because of their tattered clothes.

"If there is a honey candle, do you want it?" Zhang Jin asked.

"Do you have honey candles?" The guy looked at Zhang Jin in disbelief, "Yes, of course, as much as you want!" ”

"What's the price?" Zhang Jin hurriedly asked.

"The price," the man hesitated, "and the shopkeeper has to decide." ”

The grocery store shopkeeper's surname Zhou invited the three of them into the inner room to sit down, ordered someone to bring tea, and then looked at the three of them eagerly: "The three of them are from the north, the price of the honey candle is easy to say, but you have to let someone take a look at it first." ”

Zhang Jin and Zhang Miao glanced at each other, Zhang Miao nodded, and Zhang Jin took out a honey candle from his arms.

Shopkeeper Zhou picked up the honey candle and looked at it for a while, and after obtaining Zhang Jin's consent, he lit it with a fire fold, looking at the burning flame and nodding slightly, "It is indeed a honey candle, but the quality is average, and the fragrance is too light." ”

Of course, the fragrance is light, it is not a bee hive, but an ash worm secretion, naturally there is not much fragrance, Zhang Miao said secretly.

"Shopkeeper, honey candles are hard to find, I'm afraid you haven't seen honey candles in your life, what do you say is good or not!" Zhang Miao said lightly, "I also understand that it is your businessman's usual trick to depreciate goods and lower prices, so just say it directly, how much are you willing to pay for this honey candle?" ”

For Zhang Miao's words, Shopkeeper Zhou was not annoyed, and stretched out five fingers with a smile, "Since it comes to this, the old man won't say much, fifty yuan a piece, I will eat as many as you have!" ”
