Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Warm Stable

Qingxiang City is now a real city, and it is still a place where caravans and envoys from the south to the north must stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The era of the Great Song Dynasty is the most beautiful era, the goods pass through the north and the south, the trade is prosperous, the thieves are like hemp along the way, the robbers are like wolves, and the caravan goes to the north and south like a battle.

The caravan was bought and sold not so much by the wisdom of the shopkeeper as by the sword of the guard.

Tie Xinyuan has long stopped robbing things, so as long as the caravans coming and going to Hami enter the territory of Hami, they will breathe a sigh of relief, and when they pass by the land temple set up by Zhao Wan, they will also take the initiative to add bricks and tiles and add some fruits.

The food in Qingxiang City is a treat that caravans will never miss in the past, but this year it was almost done.

The business in Qingxiang City is still booming, whether it is cotton and linen, silk, tea, salt, and even hundreds of workers.

Only, it is not good to eat, there is not a single restaurant in the tile market, even if it is a big inn with dragons and phoenixes, there is no food supply.

If you want to eat, it's very troublesome, you have to go to the steward in the tile market, and after paying the money, you can go to the canteen with the big bowl issued by the people to eat with the people.

Money is very useful in Qingxiang City, even the jade of Hotan, the agate of Hami, the gold of Daya River, and the gems of the River of Tears can be bought, but they can't buy any food, and even if they can buy it, it is only a pitiful little food provided by the Hami government for supplies on the road.

For the first time, some astute merchants broke the taboo of not selling grain for thousands of miles, and brought a large amount of grain from the previous place of departure, which was sold at ten times the price of grain in Hami, and the supply still exceeded demand.

Don't talk about others, Tie Xinyuan himself is red-eyed, who has more food in his hands?

If it was in the Great Song Dynasty, it would be impossible for Tie Xinyuan to let go of the opportunity to make a fortune, the problem is that now, if it is difficult to make a fortune, he is cheating himself.

Ouyang Xiu was not only not angry when he saw this scene, but he was happy, and specially ordered the Hami government not to hinder the enthusiasm of these caravans to transport and sell grain, and even canceled all taxes on grain.

"As long as the food is eaten by the Hami people, we will be considered profitable." Ouyang Xiu had no interest in explaining to Tie Xinyuan in depth, and after leaving this sentence, he left with his hands behind his back, it is said that he still has a sumptuous banquet today......

Tie Xinyuan sighed, tore off the meat on the sheep's bones little by little and fed it to the iron fox, until there was no trace of meat on the bones, and then he found an axe to smash the bones and suck the marrow in the bones.

The outside of the house is so cold that there is no way to stay, the water in the lotus pond has been thick with ice, and the koi in the pond have long been fished out and stocked in the lotus pot in the house, the lotus pond is too shallow, and the cold winter in Hami will freeze the whole pond into ice cubes.

The big green horse's belly is already very large, with a big belly pocket wrapped around his belly, standing quietly in the greenhouse, eating grass without a mouthful.

The King of the Jujube Red Horse stood in the open air with only one ear, like a sculpture, and it took a long time to see two puffs of white gas spewing out, indicating that he was still alive.

Zhao Wan looked enviously at Da Qingma's huge belly and touched her belly, turning the water beads around like a pregnant woman.

The menstrual period had expired for three days, and she was sure that she was pregnant.

After eating three grapes in a row, Zhao Wan said to Tie Xinyuan with some worry: "A-Niang seems to be unhappy today. ”

Tie Xinyuan looked at Tie Xiaoya, who was already asleep, and said: "Don't disturb A-Niang, every year today, she has to spend a day alone in her old man's house, and she will get better tomorrow." ”

"Why?"

"No, Niang married Daddy on this day."

"Oh! Shall we be alone on the day we get married? ”

"Okay."

"You said that I was already married, why did A-Niang still raise me as a princess? I'm actually very hard-working. ”

"A-Niang is not raising you as a princess, she is worried that the princess spirit in your body will be worn away by the harsh environment of Hami, you have no luxury, how will you train a real prince in the future?"

"It's true, A-Niang always says that you are more like a monkey than a king."

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "I am the son of a blacksmith, and I like to use a hammer and smash anything that I don't like to see." ”

Zhao Wan proudly cocked the orchid and pointed to her head and said: "That's right, our son will be handed over to me to raise in the future, if you learn the ability to smash things, this world can't withstand a few hammers from him." ”

"Then it's over, in this case, my son will curse at the age of two, be bad at the age of three, scourge the people at the age of four, and pinch me by the neck at the age of eight to ask for the throne of Hami!"

"It's like what you say." Zhao Wan happily touched her belly and said, "My child's child will definitely become a king of the world in the future." ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "It's better to become a horse thief first, there is no one in this world who works harder than a horse thief."

Think about it, anything in the hands of a horse thief is robbed, nothing falls from the sky, no matter how many horse thieves die, the horse thief still rushes over to rob one after another, and does not achieve the goal until death!

If a person does not have the quality of a horse thief, what kind of king should he be? “

Zhao Wan smiled: "Yes, you look like a horse thief from the soles of your feet to the top of your head, and your horse thief bloodline inheritance is enough for our children to use for two or three lifetimes, and there is no need to deliberately teach."

Oh, tell you what to do, my father will teach him to be a qualified emperor, you say, why hasn't Zhang Fenggu come until now? ”

Tie Xinyuan pinched Zhao Wan's face and smiled: "I think he can come later, so that you can be happy for a longer time." ”

"Ah, my hands are full of oil, and they are smeared on other people's faces, what nonsense are you talking about, I am pregnant, if he dares to touch my child's pulse, I will send him to the calamus sea to plant reeds."

Tie Xinyuan laughed, and then his wife's words: "That's right, send him to plant reeds in the calamus sea, just right, we want to make paper." ”

Shui Zhu'er said inexplicably: "Why do you want to do this? ”

Zhao Wan looked at Shui Zhu'er's face, pinched it lightly and said, "Who told him to always peek at Shui Zhu'er, this is disrespectful!" ”

Shui Zhu'er said aggrievedly: "You and the king always make fun of me. ”

Tie Xinyuan and Zhao Wan, a couple with a bad taste, huddled together and laughed at the water beads, the laughing water beads were red all over the face, and they didn't know where to put their heads.

Jujube Hongma may feel that everyone else stays in the warm greenhouse, so he is a little stupid to stand in the ice and snow by himself, so he arches the door and walks into the greenhouse with a snort.

The cold wind rushed in at once, and in Zhao Wan's curse, Shui Zhu'er quickly glanced at both sides and then closed the door.

The jujube red horse came in and sniffed Tie Xinyuan's teapot, and when he saw that it was not filled with wine, he ignored it, walked to the side of the big green horse, arched the pregnant woman who was eating, and stood in front of the trough and chewed the pregnant woman's concentrate feed.

The big green horse obediently walked to the haystack prepared in the greenhouse, slowly lay down, and looked at the jujube red horse affectionately.

It was very warm in the conservatory, and it was easy for people to feel sleepy in such cold weather, so the iron fox jumped on the bed of the iron girl with his mouth wide open, curled up and continued to sleep.

Zhao Wan yawned and said, "I'm going to sleep, Zhang Fenggu woke me up when he came, I didn't expect that my dignified princess Song would sleep in the same room with two horses." ”

Tie Xinyuan covered Zhao Wan, then came to the stove again, picked up the long sword beside him, took it out and looked at it, and then closed it again.

Zhao Wan can sleep, but he can't sleep yet, and if the assassin in Qingxiang City is not caught for a day, he will not dare to be careless.

Yu Chiwen entered the house in a flash, and quickly came to Tie Xinyuan's side and whispered, "Caught!" ”

Tie Xinyuan asked quietly, "How many?" ”

"Two!" The cold hand hurt his fingers after being roasted by the fire, and Yu Chiwen gritted his teeth when he spoke.

"Have you been interrogated?"

"I'm interrogating, but I've still run away from three, Qingxiang City is under martial law, Mr. Tie Yi is leading people to search everywhere, the whole city is moving, and the assassins can't escape."

Tie Xinyuan said: "Have you searched the caravan there?" I mean Mahim there! ”

Wei Chiwen's eyes flickered and he bowed and said, "He is the focus there, but the assassin didn't run to the caravan, but went straight to the back mountain." ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "The assassin from Eagle Mountain will not affect his master after defeat, if he runs towards Mahim, I will suspect that he is framing Mahim, since they avoided their best protection and ran to the back mountain, then, the assassin was sent by Mahim." ”

Wei Chiwen said in a low voice: "I'm going to encircle and suppress Mahim!" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "No, continue to search, the assassin must be caught before sunset, and then, ah, hand over the captured assassin to Mahim to carry out the punishment of dismemberment!" ”

"No!"

Yu Chi left in the same style, and before Tie Xinyuan could sit still, he saw Zhao Wan blinking at her.

A smile appeared on his face and said to Zhao Wan: "Sleep, it's okay." ”

Zhao Wan smiled: "Of course I know it's okay, I just want to go back to my room early to sleep, your baby jujube red horse is starting to fart again." ”

"Bear with me, no one would have thought that we lived in a stable, you don't know, Wang gradually fought with the assassins, and our house was a mess, and we have to rebuild it before we can live in it."

Zhao Wan nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I'm precious now, I won't take risks, but you must catch the assassin to avenge Wang Gradual, the assassin's sword almost killed Wang Gradually." ”

Tie Xinyuan sat at the head of the bed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wang gradually is fine, the assassin will be caught, even if he is an iron man, he will speak."

Whoever sent him, I will not let him go. (To be continued.) )
