Chapter Eighty-Six: Rumors

Yuezhou, the state of Xiaochang City, the son of Yuezhou Thorn History Xu Shao is at home arrow hall play with arrows to meet friends, his opponent is a classmate friend, the son of the Thorn History of Hao Wubo, a few days ago Xu Shao returned to Anlu with the army and took leave to visit his parents in Yuezhou, today's friends came to visit.

Drama shooting is divided into single shooting, friend shooting, today there are only two of them, so the single shooting and the arrow target distance of eighty steps is considered a low difficulty, but after a battle, Hao Wubo won by a narrow margin.

"Sizong has never practiced arrows in the army?" After Hao Wubo finished speaking, he put down his bow and arrows and walked to the side to sit on the couch and sit opposite Xu Shao, Xu Shao wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "The affairs of the army are busy, where is there time to supervise people to do things, and there are many masters of archery in the army, and the distance between the arrow targets is one hundred and twenty steps and the bow is not allowed, which is their opponent." ”

In early June, Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, led the army to fight against Yang, and fought viciously in the Jingzhou governor's mansion, and Xu Shao also participated in it, which was a good time to listen to the story.

During the conversation, Hao Wubo motioned to his entourage to present a wooden box: "This is a newly made tea cake in my home, and the heir has a tea or two." ”

Xu Shao motioned to the servant to take it and brought the small charcoal stove and a tea set that had been lit, and the two maids then boiled water with a small stove on the side, they carefully took out a piece of tea cake and put it in a porcelain bowl and carefully mashed it, and then when they were about to add green onions and ginger, Xu Shao said to stop: "Slowly, just brew." ”

The trend of drinking tea has been popular in Jiangnan for many years since the Wei and Jin dynasties, from the beginning as a refreshing medicine to the later daily drink until it became a custom, but just like the situation in the world, the southerners drink tea and the northerners drink cheese.

"Heizong fought under the command of the Yuwen Army. Are the rumours true? Uncle Hao Wu asked when he saw that it would take some time to make tea. Yuwenliang, the second son of Anzhou Governor Yuwen, has a bad reputation and has a lot of notoriety, so he is a little curious. My friend is working under Yu Wenwen, so I want to hear what the other party has to say.

In May last year, Hao Wubo passed by Xiaochang to visit Xu Shao, and the two met Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County who was passing by in Shili Pavilion in the eastern suburbs of the city.

"What do you mean by the rumors?" Xu Shao just asked with a smile, Hao Wu Bozi Chengye is therefore commensurate with this, he knows that the Xiyang County Duke has made too much notoriety outside, and he doesn't know where to start for a while, so he simply let the other party point it out.

Hao Wubo naturally asked the recent rumor that "Yuwen Evil Wolf was killing in Jiangling, drawing a knife and slashing indiscriminately and bleeding like a river", Xu Shao just smiled bitterly and said that there was a change in the Liang Palace that night. Yu Wenwen led the soldiers into the palace to rescue his brother Yu Wenming, and although there was a fight, there was no blood during the fight.

Although he was defending in the military camp that night, he didn't have to be at the scene in person, but he heard the soldiers who entered the palace say that someone led the way at that time, and he walked through the tunnel, so he entered the palace without killing anyone, and he also repelled the forbidden army that blocked the way in the palace, and the Liang Guozong family was not damaged.

"I see, I thought it was strange to hear people say that." After Hao Wubo finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything, he actually asked not this but another version of the rumor, of course, if he asked at the beginning, it would always make people feel like a rough embryo.

After paving the way for the previous question, he was silent for a moment, and finally asked with a dry cough: "Well, I also heard that the Yuwen army is prostituting and messing with the harem of the Liang Kingdom, and it is useless to think about it." ”

Everyone is a young man, just the blood Fang Gang just has another tutor, and when he hears this kind of 'happy to see' thing, he still can't resist his curiosity, Xu Shao heard his friend ask like this, and he also smiled bitterly: "That's just the army taking Lord Liang's lost daughter to the palace to recognize his relatives." Where did that come from?"

Seeing that the other party was stunned, Xu Shao also coughed dryly and continued to tell how they went south to rescue Miss Xiao in Loquat Temple, burned Jiang Jinshu, ambushed Chen Shuling, and then sent Miss Xiao home when they entered the city after Chen Jun retreated.

"On that day, the unified army entered the palace to meet Lord Liang, and when he came out, he happened to meet Miss Xiao who was looking for relatives at the palace gate. Seeing that the other party was helpless and unable to find relatives, he was filled with righteous indignation for a moment and took her into the palace, although it was rude, but there was no lewdness/harem matter"

"It turned out to be two things, and the strange rumors from outside make people scratch their heads." Hao Wubo nodded when he heard this, he pondered that there was Yuwenwen's brother Yu Wenming in Jiangling City, so it should not be too nonsense, and now after hearing the truth from the 'party' Xu Shao, he was suddenly opened.

He has seen Xiangzhou Thorn Shiyu civilization, judging by his conversation, he can be regarded as acting decently, and there are rumors of the two sons of the chief Guan Yu Wenliang 'one tiger and one cat' on the boundary of Anzhou, Hao Wubo refers to what Xu Shao said, it seems that this Xiyang County Gongyu Wenwen is not as unbearable as rumored.

Xu Shao didn't say anything on the side, because there was a follow-up plot, he didn't dare to say: Yuwenwen brought the Xiao girl out of the palace again, but when he went to the temple to burn incense, he encountered the 'water attack' again and almost hung up, and finally brought the ninth princess of the Liang Kingdom back to Anlu, as for what to do next, it was tacit.

Of course, he couldn't say this kind of thing, but what he was going to say next was a little difficult to say, just when he hesitated, the tea had been brewed, and the two maids served the tea with a green glazed tea cup.

"A few years ago, my father found good tea trees from the south of the Yangtze River and planted them on the mountain, and now they can be picked, which is a new system recently." Hao Wubo gave an explanation of the tea cakes he brought, and Xu Shao laughed out loud after a while:

"Chengye visit me, this tea is not new, let's say, how many months is it?"

"Heizong is really powerful, I thought that I couldn't tell the old tea from the old and the new when I smelled blood in the army." Uncle Hao Wubo stroked his palms and laughed, "The secret method has been found in the house, and the older the tea cakes, the more fragrant they are." ”

The two chatted while tasting, seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Shao coughed dryly and turned to the main question and asked the other party if he knew the glass treasure mirror, Hao Wubo was quite surprised when he heard this, and asked if he also had this valuable treasure at home.

"Well, there is a side to Jiaci, and my father is heartbroken for this." After Xu Shao finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of tea to hide his complexion, there was indeed a glass treasure mirror in his home, but it was not bought by his father, but he brought it back.

This thing is said to be sold for nearly 10,000 yuan, although his family insists on buying it, he can afford it, but it really hurts for a long time, he thought that this glass treasure mirror is nothing more than a false rumor, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was stunned and speechless.

The mirror has nearly two palms, which can fully show the appearance of a person, and this thing is held with one hand, and he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it steadily, and he is almost holding it with both hands. Then someone's seductive voice rang in his ears: "How." Take one with you. ”

Bring. It's not buying, the meaning of these two words is completely different, so it's very important, Xu Shao waited for the other party to say it three times in a row before he was sure that the other party let him 'take' away instead of 'buying' away.

It is rumored that the glass treasure mirror that will be sold for tens of thousands of yuan is taken away here, of course, it is impossible, even if it is possible, Xu Shao does not dare, he took 10,000 yuan of things home for no reason, and he is afraid that he will be grounded by his father, so he wants to ask what is going on.

"It doesn't matter, the shyness in this father's pocket has to sell his property to support his family and raise a new army by the way, if the heir sect has a way, how about a commission of two hundred yuan per side?"

Xu Shao's ears were still echoing with Yu Wenwen's voice, especially the two hundred commissions per side, Hao Wubo saw that Xu Shao provoked the topic but disappeared, and he seemed to be distracted, and he was feeling strange, and at this moment, he heard the other party ask if he wanted to buy it.

"Buy?" Uncle Hao Wubo muttered to himself. Of course he wanted to buy it himself, but he couldn't afford it, and the family could afford to pay for it, and he did buy one, but it was all kept as a treasure by a special person, and when he took it, he was afraid that this valuable treasure would be broken.

"Uh, ahem, ahem." Xu Shao touched his head, although the other party was his friend, he was still a little embarrassed when it came to this kind of thing, "What, buy it or not?" ”

He also has many acquaintances and friends on weekdays, but there are not many peers who can really be called wealthy, Hao Wubo in front of him is counted as one, and the other is Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong who is far away in Chang'an.

The 'commission' of two hundred yuan per mirror given by Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County made Xu Shao restless, and the profits of this livelihood were beyond his ability to accept. You must know that the family spends him every month is only ten times.

Seeing Xu Shao's appearance, Hao Wubo was a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered another rumor: the Duke of Xiyang County can get this glass mirror. This rumor is not a rumor spread by rough people in the market, he was a guest at an elder's house and casually listened to the news when the other party was talking to his big shopkeeper.

It is said that the public of Xiyang County has a way to buy goods from the merchants of the Western Regions to get glass mirrors, Hao Wubo later thought about it and felt a little ridiculous: The merchants of the Western Regions naturally went to Chang'an and Luoyang to do business in the prosperous world of Chang'an and Luoyang, who would inexplicably come to Anzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River to sell things?

However, when he saw his friend mention it here and now, Uncle Hao Wu had an extra heart, and he figured out the key in an instant: Does the heir have a source of goods in his hands? No, it is unlikely that there is such a trade route in the family of Hei Zong, and he can contact the merchants of the Western Regions, and he works under the command of the Duke of Xiyang County, could it be that Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County really has a source of goods in his hands?

Thinking of this, he remembered another rumor: during the time when the Anzhou army was fighting with the imperial army at the mouth of the two rivers, there seemed to be someone in Anlu City who attacked the shopkeeper of the Xiyang County Mansion, but those people disappeared without a trace for some reason, and the chief steward of Anlu, Shi, also pretended not to know.

This series of rumors is connected, coupled with the fact that his friends are now asking themselves whether to buy glass mirrors, Hao Wubo can be regarded as suddenly enlightened: Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County can't really have a supply of goods in his hands, and Xu Shao is familiar with him and can get a piece of the pie.

"Uh, don't you have the goods in your hands?" Hao Wubo asked tentatively.

"How much do you want?" Xu Shao is obviously a young man who can't do business, and this sentence reveals the old bottom: he has more than one or two sides of the goods in his hands, if a business veteran can use this to say that he can buy a lot of goods and then bargain.

'How many sides?' How many faces, you ask, I want? You've got a lot of goods there! Hao Wubo's heart was shocked when he heard this, he had never handled the family's business, so he couldn't be the master, but he probably thought of what his friend revealed here:

The other party is helping Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County sell glass mirrors, of course, Xu Shao must be beneficial, but the key is to be able to get involved with Yuwen Wen, if he can buy the goods at a lower price and then change hands, it will be a big profit.

"Heizong, I'm here, of course I want to buy it, but you know, this has to be the master of the family" Hao Wubo spoke a little unfavorably, the other party didn't know how to do business, and he was no better, not only did he not ask the price, but he was afraid that the other party would regret it and added: "Buy, definitely buy!" I'll go back to Anlu to discuss with my family! ”

His family, like Xu Shao's family, has a big house in Anlu, and a large family lives in Anlu on weekdays, after all, it is more comfortable there, and the shopkeepers who are in charge of business at home are also in Anlu.

The two of them talked about business for the first time, and they still couldn't let go of their skin, so the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and just as the two were laughing, a servant suddenly rushed in in a panic and shouted: "Lang Jun, something happened!" (To be continued.) )
