Sihai Restaurant, in the bungalow of Jingbian Fort in the north is really a flower of exquisite color, it is made of wood, three stories high, the top is covered with tiles, and the inside is covered with exquisite utensils made in Suzhou, and the food it makes is fine Jiangnan flavor.

Since this building is so chic, it is naturally the place where the increasingly wealthy generals in Jingbian Fort often spend their silver taels.

At this time, Liu Renyu and the others were in the lobby of this building, looking around for the legendary old man.

He watched for a long time, and the lobby removed a few tables of diners who were shouting for five and six to drink, and ordered to eat; Dial the plan, the shopkeeper who does not stop settling accounts; Shuttling back and forth, in addition to the children serving the guests, there was only a thin old man sitting on the board, who had been staring at him at this time, and it seemed that he might be looking for someone.

But he looked at the old man carefully for a long time, and dug deep into his memory for a long time, and came to the conclusion: "This person is absolutely unknown, so where is the old man?" ”

While he was wondering about his child, the old man finally got up from the stool and walked towards him after carefully studying Liu Renyu for a long time.

"Dare to ask you, but you are the new garrison Lord Liu?"

"Who are you!? How do you know I'm the new guard? As soon as the old man spoke, Liu Renyu was taken aback.

The old man smiled and replied: "The villain didn't know it originally, but it was the villain's owner who told the villain, and the villain knew." Adult, the owner of the villain, is also your deceased, is waiting for the adult on the third floor of the Peony Pavilion, please go upstairs to meet. ”

"Oh, then I'll go meet the old man." With more and more intense questions, Liu Renyu climbed the stairs and went straight to the Peony Pavilion.

When I came to the Peony Pavilion, there were two maids guarding the door, and said to Zhenbeibao and his party: "My master said, please let Lord Liu go in alone, and the other military masters please rest in the Narcissus Pavilion for a while." ”

"Hey, we don't know where your master is, and whether it will be bad for adults, so how can we let adults go in alone, let's go in too." Sun Wuxian was concerned about Liu Renyu's safety, and said with dissatisfaction.

"Hey, no disease, no need to be so panicked, I am just a garrison, no power and no power, who will harm me, besides, you also know what level my martial arts are, so don't worry, I'll go in and take a look by myself, you guys are waiting on the side, if there is something, I will naturally inform you."

"Yes, my lord, I obey the order." When the guards received the order, they stopped talking, and instead rested in the Dao Narcissus Pavilion under the guidance of the two maids.

When the two maids saw that Liu Renyu had finished arranging his subordinates, they pushed open the door with a smile on their faces and said in unison: "Lord Liu, please come inside, my master is waiting." ”

Liu Renyu entered the peony pavilion according to his words, the first thing he saw was a muddy gold pine, bamboo and plum screen facing the opposite side, there was a red sandalwood square table in front of the screen, the table was equipped with drunkard chairs on all sides, on both sides of the room, there were a few long ones, and there were small gall bottles of the official kiln on the several, and the plum blossoms that were only available in the cold winter were placed in the bottle.

On the walls next to the long several, there are some ink calligraphy and paintings, who made these calligraphy and paintings, the value of geometric, Liu Renyu has not studied, there is no way to know, but look at the furnishings of this room, it is quite elegant.

Liu Renyu finished looking at the furnishings in the house, but he didn't see the old man, and when he was about to ask a question, a crisp voice like a silver bell suddenly came from behind the screen: "Lord Liu, do you still remember the fourth lady of the Du family who watched you perform invulnerability in the backyard in Yan'an City, Du Ji Pawnshop?" ”

Before the words fell, a pretty woman dressed in a goose yellow fur with a smile on her face turned out from behind the screen and saluted Liu Renyu.

"It's you!" Liu Renyu opened his mouth wide, obviously surprised.

No wonder it is said that it is an old man, it turns out to be this one, not to mention, this one can really be regarded as an old man, although there is only one side.

"It's the little girl, my lord, do you think we are old people?" Miss Du Jiasi chuckled.

"Count, count, count, you say it, forget it."

This Miss Du is the first costume beauty Liu Renyu has seen since he crossed, so he is naturally very impressed, and he is also planning to find the Du family to discuss cooperation, so that when he sees the fourth Miss Du family, in addition to being surprised, he is more happy.

"Since it's an old man, then please sit with me for a while, let's have tea and sit and chat, okay?" Miss Du Jiasi said.

"Okay, okay, okay, then let's sit down and drink tea and talk." Liu Renyu sat down as he said.

The fourth lady of the Du family also sat down, and then called: "Chunping, serve tea." ”

"Yes, miss." The maid called Chunping outside the door pushed the door in, put a pot of tea and two other teacups on the table, and then retreated outside the door.

"Lord Liu, please use tea." Miss Du Jiasi said.

"Hey, okay." Liu Renyu took a sip as he said.

"How's this tea?"

"Very good, green in color, sweet in taste, fragrant between the teeth, not ordinary."

"My lord is really well-informed, this tea is the tea of Jianning, Fujian, and the tea in that place is a royal tribute." Miss Du Jiasi chuckled.

"Wow, it's still tribute tea, it's really expensive." Liu Renyu said in amazement.

"Well, this thing is produced in Fujian, Fujian and Shaanxi are separated by more than 10,000 miles, if you want to drink this tea, it is natural to be transported by businessmen, we just do this business, sometimes Lord Sun wants to drink Fujian tea, or want to Suzhou utensils, we will help to buy, so it is familiar with Lord Sun."

"That's it, you know Master Sun, right?"

"Exactly. Master Sun is going to Yan'an to be a deputy general, and our Du family is also in Yan'an City. ”

"Why, then, do you want to see me?"

"There are not too many backers, and I have already asked clearly, how did Lord Sun, the deputy general, rise up, this must be known best to Lord Liu."

"I have a garrison, my own guerrillas, generals, deputy generals, and the general army is above me, and now the civil and military are cheap, and if it is not good, you can still find a civilian official as a backer, it really doesn't work, you can also change places."

"My lord, don't you know what kind of officers and soldiers are now? I'm afraid that if you do evil, you may not be worse than a thief, you know the Guyuan Mutiny, and many merchants in the city will suffer, and they will lose some money and food, and even destroy their families. ”

She added: "As for the civil officials, they are all rogue officials, and they can't compare to the military generals who generally don't make changes when they guard a place." In the end, there are local snakes in every place, and our Du family has arrived in a new place, one is to re-order, and the other is to deal with competition, so it is better to stay in Yansui. ”

"What do you mean, Miss Du?"

"Lord Liu, the little girl has expressed her intentions and is willing to honor the adult every year, hoping that the adult can protect our Du family."

"I'm just a guard, how can I protect your entire Du family."

"Adults are so young, they have come to this high position, as long as they make progress in the future, they will naturally be on the rise, and they will be the chief soldiers of Yansui, and they may not be unable to do it."

"It will take some time for me to ascend, so why don't you find a ready-made general soldier?"

"Those greedy generals have too much appetite for our Du family to bear, and some of the generals who have eaten filial piety, such as the guard general in Fugu, have not lost the city. Therefore, it is better to save money and honor you. ”

"That's it, but your Du family is in Yan'an, and I'm in Jingbian Fort, even if something happens, how can I save you?"

"I have inquired about the reasons for the fall of Fugu, and it is all the hungry people in the city who respond internally, and the thieves outside attack, and the two sides attack, and the city falls. Now there are thieves called Wang Zishun and Miao Mei leading tens of thousands of people in Yan'an, Suide and looting, and there are many hungry people in Yan'an City, if the inside and outside should be combined, I am afraid that Yan'an will ............ ”

"You can't trust Lord Sun?"

"Even if you can trust Lord Sun, you have to be careful."

"Then there are still hungry people in my Jingbian Fort?"

"The little girl went to Zhenbei Fort to see, there were no hungry people under the rule of adults, and I heard that thousands of siege thieves were broken a while ago."

"You're well-informed."

"Lord Liu has won the award, the most important thing in business is to listen to the news, which is the same as when you go to war."

"That makes sense, you're not a simple woman."

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

"Then do you mean that your Du family wants to live in my Jingbian Fort?"

"My lord is so good, I haven't said it yet, you guessed it."

"That's a good feeling, in fact, I just happened to have something to ask you to cooperate, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself."

But when the fourth lady of the Du family heard this, she couldn't help but feel that there was a lot of ambiguity in her words, and she couldn't help but blush and be a little embarrassed.

Liu Renyu looked at her situation, thought about it carefully, and then came to his senses, so he immediately remedied: "I mean you came to me to talk about business first." ”

"Hmm." Miss Du replied in a low voice.

So neither of them spoke anymore, and the scene suddenly became a little quiet and terrifying.

In the end, Liu Renyu broke the deadlock and said: "Do you know the carriages that are currently being sold in Yan'an City?" ”

"Yes. I heard that it was from your town north fort. ”

"Yes, yes, what do you think of the carriage?"

"I have never sat on it, but I saw the prince of the Wang family in the city sitting, the carriage is majestic, beautiful, and the price is also very expensive."

"By the way, my carriage is a Taixi style, very valuable, but unfortunately in Yansui, there are too few wealthy merchants, and not many people can buy it. By the way, with that said, I'd like you to see it. ”

When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly said to the maid outside: "I'm sorry for you to go and talk to a person named Liu Renjie, and ask him to give you the mirror, and you can bring it to me." ”

The maid outside responded to the sound, and went straight to find Liu Renjie, and after a while, the maid named Chunping entered the house with a box and handed it to Liu Renyu.

Liu Renyu handed it to Miss Du Jiasi again, and said, "Please Miss Du open it and take a look, what about this thing?" ”

Miss Du Jiasi still opened it, took out the mirror framed by copper, and was naturally very surprised, but she only looked at it a few times with a look of surprise, and then held back her curiosity and put the mirror back in the box.

"This thing is very different from my Ming bronze mirror, it is so clear and distinct, it is really rare and tight, and my lord has a treasure that can make a lot of money in his hand." Miss Du said with a smile.

"It's true that this thing, and that carriage can make money, but I have this technology, but I have no financial support, and there is no market, but I haven't made any money yet."

"What do you mean by showing me this, my lord?"

"I mean, your Du family provides some funds, I provide technology, and we cooperate. I provide goods, and organize an armed escort team to escort you, and you will dredge the joints for me, find merchants to sell, let's sell them to Xi'an, Taiyuan, Datong, or a little farther away, sell them to Beijing, and I will count you fifty percent of the profits, how about it? ”

"Such a big thing, the little woman can't be the master alone, she needs to report to her father to know, and see how his old man decides, but if the adult is in urgent need of silver, my father asked me to prepare 10,000 taels of filial piety silver for the adult."

"Yes, that's a good feeling, I happen to be short of money, so thank you first. Oh, by the way, didn't you say that you haven't seen what the carriage looks like, this is easy to say, tomorrow you go to Zhenbei Fort with me, and I will show you the carriage, okay? ”

"Since Lord Liu sincerely invited, I naturally want to go. By the way, Lord Liu, do you remember the items you pawned in our pawnshop? ”

"Of course I remember, I just arrived in Daming at that time, and I had nothing to do, so I had to pawn it to you."

"Now that our Du family is sheltered by you, we naturally want to return those few things to the adults, Chunping, and send the things over."

The door of the Peony Pavilion creaked, and then Chunping sent the dagger and the carbon fiber body armor to Liu Renyu.

"Lord Liu, what kind of lighter is that, but it's fun and tight, and it has been played with by my father many times, but it has been used badly, and now I can only return this dagger and this armor."

"I'm grateful, I'm grateful." Liu Renyu stroked the "old guys" who followed him for three years in later generations, and thanked him repeatedly.

"My lord, the gift has been delivered, and the words are almost done, I will send someone to report to my father later, so I will take the first step, where to wait for the adult tomorrow, and please inform the little girl."

"Just wait here tomorrow."

"Okay, the little woman is waiting for the adults right here."

"By the way, Miss Du, what is your name? Since we want to cooperate, let's be honest with each other. ”

"The little woman's name is Du Ruonan."

"Then I'll call you Ruonan in the future, and you can call me Brother Liu?"

"Brother Liu, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."
