Chapter 365: Another Brother-in-law?

The 'cloud' of the war is 'approaching', and the war preparations of Ningyuan City are being carried out in an orderly manner, although there is no martial law, but the soldiers patrolling the streets are lined up one after another, so that everyone can feel the tense and oppressive atmosphere before the war.

Mrs. Xian, who chased interests from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, complained about her bad fate, and was so embarrassed that she couldn't survive in Chang'an, she wanted to pan for gold in Ningyuan City for a few years, and then return to Chang'an when she had a lot of savings, but fate seemed to be joking with her, and the horror of war befell her, she lived for decades and never experienced the threat of war. She didn't go to the military parade, she didn't like to be lively, and she heard her unsuccessful son say that General Ning Yuan's strength was also very strong, but she didn't want to believe that Li Huaitang could survive under the joint efforts of several strong Hu.

There is no way to worry, she is not familiar with life in Ningyuan City, and it is difficult for her to return to Datang, so she can only continue her daily work to divert her attention. However, her living treasure son Xian Dalang has a 'spirit' that is at peace when he comes, and he wanders around the North Market all day long to have fun, and is "obsessed" with the style of Hu Niang who sells wine in wine shops.

Mrs. Xian set up her home in the workshop area, where there is a huge "door" for the construction of silkworm workshop, as far as the building facilities are concerned, she is very satisfied, there are dozens of silkworm houses in the workshop, the "door" and window can be removed, the summer "shade" cool ventilation, winter warmth, the most comfortable thing for her is that the large workshop is in charge of her, including hundreds of "women" workers are under her orders, no matter from which aspect can be seen the sincerity of the proprietor and the attitude of importance to her.

As usual, Mrs. Xian began to make routine rounds of the silkworm house every morning, and the silkworms hatched in the summer had formed cocoons, and before breaking the pupae, she had to pay special attention to protect the silkworms to reproduce the next generation, so that the silkworm workshop in Ningyuan City would continue to develop, rather than relying on thousands of miles to sell silkworm seeds from the Tang Dynasty.

While she was on the inspection, a 'female' worker ran to her in a panic and told her that Xian Dalang had broken into her house again and stole money.

"Da Lang, you 'bastard', you don't do your job all day long and only know that you are a loser, and when I can't hold this family anymore, I will starve to death together." Mrs. Sin ran back to the house in a rage, only to find that her living son had already succeeded, and ran triumphantly out of the window to the yard.

"You don't want to leave so much money to me when you save so much, I'm just using it in advance now. Besides, what do you know, how can you make a lot of money without 'spending' a little money? Xian Dalang did not have the slightest shame, but jumped and pointed at the door of the room and sprayed feces in his mouth.

Argument is rebuttal, but Xian Dalang is still afraid of his mother, as soon as he saw Mrs. Xian chase out with a stick, he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and rushed to the big 'door' of the workshop with a smoke.

"Oops!" In front of the big 'door', Xian Dalang unfortunately installed Shawa, and Xian Dalang, who was hollowed out by the wine, was Shawa's opponent, and took three steps back and sat on the ground one after another.

"You! Yes! Madam! "Xian Dalang was 'about to get angry', but suddenly saw Mrs. Ye Ji behind Sava. The Xian family followed Mrs. Ye Ji all the way from Chang'an, and Da Lang was certainly no stranger. What surprised him even more was that behind Mrs. Ye Ji was actually the famous Princess Broken Leaf in Chang'an City.

"Madame, princess?" When Mrs. Xian saw the arrival of the distinguished guests, it was too late to hide the ugliness of the family, so she naturally let Xian Dalang go.

Ye Ji and Pei Xiaoniang called in unison: "Mrs. Xian! ”

"Mrs. Xian has been so far, but I have not been able to come to visit in person, and I ask Mrs. Xian not to blame." Ye Ji apologized to Mrs. Xian.

Mrs. Xian was flattered and said, "Madame, don't be like this, kill the old body." ”

"Master," Pei Xiaoniang happily stood in front of Mrs. Xian, when she was in Chang'an, she often went to Xian Mansion to learn embroidery skills, but she didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet again in Ningyuan City, which was thousands of miles away.

"How is the little lady? A few days ago, I heard that Xiao Niang was rescued by the general and returned to Ningyuan City, the old body didn't know how happy she was when she heard the news, just don't have to marry the Tuqi Shi people, the general is heroic, the old body congratulates the little lady! ”

"What! The teacher made fun of the little lady. Pei Xiaoniang was embarrassed, twisting her waist and feeling angry.

"Hehe......"

Taking advantage of the greetings between the three of them, Xian Dalang, who was low-key in the corner, quietly escaped from the big 'gate' and ran towards his target, the most prosperous liquor store in Beishi

After the three of them finished their old relationship, they got to the point.

"Ye Ji came on behalf of her husband this time, and her husband said that he was willing to give a part of the silkworm workshop to Mrs. Xian, and hoped that Mrs. Xian would work here with peace of mind."

"Huh?" Mrs. Xian was quite surprised, if it was a peaceful environment, in Ningyuan City, she believed that she could definitely create a vast world with her own ability, and the Hu people's love for silk was no less than their feelings for war horses, as long as there was a large amount of silk, it would be difficult to be poor.

"But," Mrs. Xian was a little regretful, feeling sorry for the upcoming war, "Let's be honest, the war is ruthless, and the old body does not dare to stay here for too long, and when the general repels the Hu people, the old body wants to return to Chang'an, and I hope that Mrs. and Xiaoniang can understand." ”

Ye Ji said with a smile: "Mrs. Xian can rest assured here, Shiro naturally has a way to deal with Hu Ren." I think that our situation in Qishi City was even worse, with few soldiers and few generals, and the city was short, but Shiro still beat the Turks all over the ground to find teeth. Now we don't know how many times our strength is before, and the mere Hu Ren Shiro will not take it in his eyes, well, Shiro said, after this battle, Ningyuan City will be proud of the Western Regions, and no one will dare to covet it! ”

Mrs. Xian did not refute, but only laughed.

"In this way, the division commander will take over the next part first, and when Li Lang drives away the Hu people, how about the division commander make a decision after looking at the situation?" With the further understanding of Ning Yuancheng, Pei Xiaoniang is full of confidence, Li Huaitang can single-handedly rescue her from the broken leaf and big tooth of the Tuqi Shi people, and now that there are so many soldiers and horses, it is natural to defeat Qiang Hu.

Mrs. Xian had no choice, and under the persuasion of Ye Ji and Pei Xiaoniang in turn, she accepted Li Huaitang's kindness.

In a wine shop called "Sleeping 'Flowers' Cong", Xian Dalang spent a lot of money, and as soon as he made a move, he chartered four of the best Hu Niang, asked for the best wine, and put the 'wave' shape in an upper room.

A moment is really worth a thousand dollars! In just one hour, the gentleness of the four Hu Niangs emptied Xian Dalang's pockets.

"Haha, when the general meets me, he will call me brother-in-law." Xian Dalang was proud.

Hu Niangyi said: "I don't believe it, where did the general's brother-in-law surnamed Xian come from, slandering us." ”

"What do you know? Do you know the princess of Broken Leaves? Xian Dalang was 'excited' and couldn't hold his face, and he pulled Pei Xiaoniang, who happened to meet today, to his mouth, "Princess Broken Leaf is a frequent visitor to my house, call my aunt the teacher, call me brother, she is the general's wife who is about to pass the 'door', and the general's dowry is sent to my house." Doesn't he call my brother-in-law? ”

"Oh? It's true? Hu Niangyi's eyes flashed with a sly gaze.

"What are you lying about? Didn't you hear that my accent was the authentic Tang dialect of Chang'an? Besides, if it weren't for this identity, how would I get the white 'flower' and 'flower' dirhams to enjoy here? ”

Hu Niangyi gave Hu Niangjia a look, Hu Niangjia threw a wink, picked up a glass of wine on the desk and fed it to the complacent man. Da Lang was so comfortable that he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest for a while, and he didn't even notice Hu Niangyi going out of the 'door'.

Hu Niangyi also came back with a chestnut beard.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Xian Dalang looked at the uninvited guest with dissatisfaction.

The bearded man said with a smile: "The contemptible people are diligent, and they are the shopkeepers here, and they are 'benefited' by the big man, so that our store is full of brilliance." ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Xian Dalang dealt with it casually.

"I heard that Lang Jun is the general's old man? To tell the truth, if it weren't for the general taking care of us businessmen, how could we be rich today. Since you and I are destined, I will pay today's account! He smiled generously.

"Oh? That's a good idea! Xian Dalang didn't know what politeness was, he didn't know how many accounts he had cheekily relied on when he was in Chang'an, and it was rare for someone to treat him, so he didn't let it go.

"Okay, it's refreshing!" Clapping his hands tirelessly. Hu Niangyi brought a pot of wine very knowingly and poured it for the two of them.

"Let's make a friend!" Zi Lulu raised his wine glass and saluted Xian Dalang.

Da Lang raised his head and drank as much as he could, opened his mouth and said, "It's a good wine, it's really a good wine." That's what's wrong with the shopkeeper, why didn't you entertain me with this wine when I came in? ”

Zi Lulu smiled bitterly: "Da Lang doesn't know. Alas, although this wine is good, but none of the guest officials here have such a mouthful, this wine, alas, I am afraid it will have to be poured outside Ningyuan City. ”

"Pour it out? Why? Xian Dalang looked at Zi Lulu suspiciously, waiting for his answer.

The answer is related to Li Huaitang, a few days ago, the General's Mansion issued an order that the whole city was closed with three city 'gates', and residents and merchants entering and leaving the city must enter and exit through the south 'gate', and the entry and exit of goods were strictly checked, and all items that were included in the temporary contraband were confiscated.

"Is alcohol also considered contraband?" Xian Dalang asked casually.

"Hehe, it depends on what kind of wine, it doesn't count, it's just that the general suddenly issued some wartime emergency order, and spirits have become contraband for no reason, and no one is allowed to have it 'privately', and it must be handed over. Unfortunately, the goods I had ordered early in the morning happened to be banned, and I could not enter the city, and the wine merchant was unwilling to risk confiscation into the city, and asked me to go out of the city to pay for the goods. But knowing that it is going to be confiscated, where will I pay him, it is better to let him pour it out, at most lose the deposit. It's just a pity, alas! ”

Xian Dalang echoed and sighed: "Well, it's a pity, I don't know how many times the money will be earned if it is transported to the city." ”

Hu Niangyi 'interjected' at the right time: "Huh? This, I don't know if Da Lang can do it? Wouldn't it be enough to go back and talk to the general and let our caravan in? ”

"That's right!" Zi Lulu suddenly realized, and looked at Xian Dalang with expectant eyes.

"Me? I'll help you? ”

Zi Lu said with a smile: "Da Lang will not work in vain, if Da Lang gets the exemption pass for me to enter the city, I am willing to pay Da Lang a thousand dirhams." ”

"A thousand?" Xian Dalang's eyes lit up.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. What about risking the law of the world as long as the stakes are great enough?

"Okay, I'm done!" Xian Dalang got up when he took the case, and his face turned red because of the "agitation".

Zi Lulu was overjoyed, but he still didn't believe it: "Da Lang is sure?" It's not easy. ”

Xian Dalang said disdainfully: "My aunt is the person relied on by the general, without my aunt, who will raise silkworms for him?" He may reject me, but he won't break my delicate girl. In short, I have a lot of means, and the shopkeeper is here with peace of mind waiting for my news. ”

A righteous and strict analysis made Zi Lulu and several Hu Niang nod, however, Da Lang's words suddenly changed: "However, the shopkeeper knows, human favor belongs to human favor, but this number of etiquette cannot be less, where the general's mansion, I always need to do something, hehe, you know." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I know." Zilu smiled and motioned for Hu Niangyi to take the gift.

The number of salutes was two hundred dirhams, which were presented in front of the eyes of the great man. Xian Dalang looked greedily at the dirham in front of him, and his throat moved.

Zi Lu smiled and said, "As long as Da Lang gets the pass to enter the city, I will pay another thousand dirhams to show my gratitude." ”

"It's a deal!" Xian Dalang's self-confidence is bursting. People who don't know will definitely not suspect his vaunted identity when they see his expression at the moment.

Xian Dalang left, and with satisfaction with two hundred glittering dirhams. In the lively upper room just now, Zi Lulu 'revealed' a cold look, and said to Hu Niangyi: "Send someone to keep an eye on him to see if he has gone to the General's Mansion!" ”

"Yes!" Hu Niang went as ordered.

Zi Lulu also knew that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and pinned his hopes on Xian Dalang's body to be lucky. However, he really had no choice, Li Huaitang's strict order 'disrupted' his plan, and a hundred wooden barrels loaded with special goods were blocked outside the city, unable to enter the city. Without these hundred or so barrels of goods, he could hardly cook without rice, and could not cooperate with the army under the city to break the city, and time waited for no one, and soon war would break out, and in less than two days, the only open 'gate' of the city would be closed, and at the same time his hope would be closed outside the city.

Anxiously waiting, Hu Niangyi brought back the news. Xian Dalang did go in the direction of the General's Mansion, but he couldn't be sure whether he had entered the 'gate', and the person who followed him lost his target there.

"Well, it seems that he has entered the General's Mansion eighty percent!" Talking to yourself.

That night, a notice posted outside the General's Mansion was torn off, stamped with the General's seal and the General's crooked autograph. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
