Mo Qingdai saw that Du Nuhao said something, so she took the letter needle and looked at it. After looking at Diao Zhuo, Du Wenhao looked weird.

Du Wenhao took the letter and looked at Lin Qingdai: "What's the matter, look at your expression, as if you have seen something terrifying." ”

Lin Qingdai pursed her mouth: "Look at it yourself, don't you know why I have such an expression when you see it yourself?" ”

Du Wenhao saw that it read: "The river is running out and the river is overflowing. ”

Du Wenhao: "What do you think Old Man Yang means?" ”

Lin Qingdai's face was expressionless: "How do I know what river water is and what river water is obviously playing dumb riddles for you to see if you are smart enough." ”

Du Wenhao asked Hantou to go downstairs to find wine. After supporting him, he whispered: "Ask me everything, I know everything, the person who knows me best in the world is you, Lin Qingdai, and Lin Qingdai alone, what kind of dumb riddle to play me at this time." It's really boring. ”

Lin Qingdai snickered: "If I have half of your wisdom and wisdom, it would be the best, but it's a pity that this question was given to you by Old Man Yang, how can I understand?" That's why I ask you if you understand? ”

Du Wenhao nodded Lin Qingdai's forehead: "If that's the case, I'll force you, but this old man is really a god!" ”

As he was talking, he walked in with a few pours of wine and a smile.

Give the wine to Du Wenhao, Lin Qingdai poured it and roared. Hantou looked at Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai, put a piece of meat in his mouth, and muttered, "Master, I don't understand what you saw." ”

Du Wenhao ignored Han Cha and said: "So, the old man knows very well, Jiang should be the Jiang shopkeeper, and the river should be the county commander He Zhao." ”

Lin Qingdai: "I had such a fleeting thought in my mind before, but I thought it was a little funny, but now Wen Hao, you say so, it seems that I am not a woman's heart." ”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I have always said that your feeling is the most accurate, Qin'er is too rational and too kind, Xue'er is a good person in managing her family, but she is less flexible." ”

Lin Qingdai bowed her head silently shyly, probably because it was inconvenient for Hantou to speak, and it happened that there was a guy outside the door called Hantou, and Hantou himself was embarrassed, so he hurriedly went out under the pretext.

Du Wenhao joked: "Are you still embarrassed? I'm telling the truth."

Lin Qingdai: "Wen Hao, I think so too, don't you say that Jiang is the biggest shopkeeper?" Why did Mr. Yang give us such words? ”

Du Wenhao pondered for a long time: "Say so." The old man knew that we would come to Yuanshan, and knew that we would definitely go to the shopkeeper Jiang, but the shopkeeper Jiang had a very good relationship with Yang Rui, and this bone was not easy to gnaw, so he asked us to bypass the shopkeeper Jiang and approach the county order directly. ”

Lin Qingdai: "But if we don't meet someone this time, how can we get close to He County?" ”

"Isn't there another letter?" Open it up, shall we? ”

Lin Qingdai: "Yes, open it and take a look." ”

Du Wenhao shook his head: "Now that we are close to He Xianling's beloved concubine, if the letter really teaches us how to do it, I don't think it is necessary." ”

Lin Qingdai: "Wen Hao, I always feel that something is wrong. ”

Du Wenhao: "I think the same way, I can't go to He County Commander every time." Moreover, what should we do if we use He County's order to suppress the Jiang shopkeeper, if we let this Jiang shopkeeper calculate privately? And he had such a good relationship with that Yang Rui, how could he be so willing to bow down to his subordinates? ”

Lin Qingdai said deflated: "It's better not to watch it if I knew it earlier." ”

Du Wenhao: "Have you ever thought that it is not a good thing that there is no depletion and flooding? ”

Lin Qingdai thought about it and felt that this was the case. It's even more confusing.

Du Wenhao muttered to himself the words depletion and flooding. I can't figure out what this old man Yang wants to hint at to himself, probably worried that Yang Rui will see this letter, so he hides his head and hides his tail? Du Wenhao thought of this, saw four words written on paper, carefully examined it, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, could it be that the words of overflow and exhaustion are put together, which is the homonym of interception, but what is interception?

The more Du Wenhao thought about it, the more he thought about it, so he simply didn't think about it, crumpled the paper and threw it aside to drink.

Back at the inn, Du Wenhao lay on the bed. I still have those eight words in my head, and I can't get rid of them.

Seeing this, Lin Qingdai said tentatively: "Since what the old man said is not what we thought at the beginning. Why don't we take a look at the other letter? ”

Du Wenhao still insisted on not wanting to read it: "I don't want people to lead me by the nose, after all, Yang Rui is his grandson, we just saved his life, he is willing to let his grandson kill himself, you can know which is more important in his heart, forget it, don't think about another letter." We'll go tomorrow to meet that Jiang shopkeeper for a while. ”

Early the next morning.

Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai, who did not dress as a man this time, went out, did not take a fool with him, but asked him to do another thing, which is to inquire about what kind of person this county magistrate named He Zhao is, Du Wenhao knows that in a place where he is not familiar with life, if he wants to do something, he must know himself and know that the other party can not be defeated.

A medicinal herb merchant in Yuanshan County, Jianghuai. In his early forties, he was short and thin, liked money and women, was a mercenary villain, this person was the only filial piety, and it was very filial, his father died early, only his mother was in his sixties, and his body was strong. is different from Jiang Huaiyuan, an old lady with a straightforward personality.

Du Wenhao took Lin Qingdai to find the door of a very well-built mansion of the Jiang family without much difficulty.

Lin Qingdai walked to the porter and said that it was waist, Jiang Huaiyuan's porter saw that the person came with empty hands, his face was immediately unhappy, and he was about to shout to drive Lin Qingdai out, this is a woman with a head full of silver who walked over, followed by four maids.

"What's going on?" The old woman asked.

The porter hurriedly bowed over and said with a disdainful face: "I probably came to beg the master to sell medicinal herbs again." ”

The old woman glanced at Lin Qingdai, who was dressed in short clothes, delicate and neat.

The old woman stepped forward and saw Du Wenhao outside the door and said, "Do you have anything to do with my son?" ”

Lin Qingdai bowed down and said, "We are from Qishan County, and we want to visit the shopkeeper Jiang, and we want to ask the porter to make it convenient." ”

The old woman snorted and couldn't see any expression, and said, "Go back, my family Huaiyuan went out, won't the medicine market open tomorrow?" When the time comes, I will naturally see it. With that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Lin Qingdai looked at Du Nuhao and Du Nuhao signaled that she was hesitating, and the porter stepped forward to push Lin Qingdai with the old tricks, and the porter immediately screamed.

The old woman heard the voice and turned around. His eyes lit up and he stepped forward: "The girl still has this hand?" ”

Lin Qingdai saw that the old woman did not blame, but showed joy on her face, knowing that this old woman should like kung fu, so she let go of the porter, and the porter was painful because of her teeth and cracked mouth, but because the old woman was cured by the side, she held her wrist and hid to the side.

Lin Qingdai: "I'm sorry, old lady, he didn't touch me, and I didn't."

The old woman was really happy and said, "There is nothing to be ashamed of, they are like this to everyone. It's all for my son to indulge, and it's good to have someone teach some. ”

Lin Qingdai wanted to be captured, so she arched her hand and said: "If the old lady is still sensible, then I won't bother." Leave. After speaking, he turned around to leave, Du Wenhao stood under the steps and watched, knowing that Lin Qingdai didn't care about acting, just watched.

"Girl, stay!" The old woman is humane. Lin Qingdai turned her head to look at the old woman: "Is there anything else to do with the old lady?" ”

The old lady stepped forward without saying a word, and suddenly struck Lin Qingdai's chest with a palm. Lin Qingdai, an old lady with a lower waist, pounced in the air. One stumbled and almost fell, Lin Qingdai hurriedly supported the old lady with both hands, and then staggered to her feet.

"Be careful." Lin Qingdai said lightly.

"The girl reacts very quickly!" The old lady said with a smile.

Lin Qingdai smiled slightly: "Let you see and laugh." I've been practicing since I was a child, but your palm is just a false palm, and you don't really want to hit me. Naturally, it was easy to dodge. ”

In fact, the old lady really beat it, but she didn't hit her original face, and she was a little unbearable. didn't expect Lin Qingdai to say this, just to save her face, and she couldn't help but like this beautiful girl a little.

"Hehe, yes, how could I really beat you, but I just want to see if you can do kung fu in the end, it's good, it's good."

Lin Qingdai saw that the old woman was happy, so she struck while the iron was hot: "The old lady is very clean, she should have practiced for many years, right?" At first glance, it is extraordinary. ”

When the old woman heard Lin Qingdai praise herself, she praised herself. laughed happily like a child: "Where have you practiced anything, but I just like to learn from the troupe for a few days when I was young." Now that I'm old, I can't practice. ”

Lin Qingdai: "Who said that at a time like you, you are generally a person with a common waist and a stick on your back, look at your body, you are strong and fast, as long as you want to practice, it is not a matter of catching it?" ”

Du Wenhao has not made a sound on the side, but he just thinks about how he didn't have Lin Qingdai who is so good at shooting people and horses before, but it is not surprising that a woman wants to be a good pharmacy shopkeeper, and she has to do everything herself, so many years have naturally practiced it, thinking of this, looking at Lin Qingdai, who is not smiling on weekdays, although she still doesn't smile much, she can coax an old man to smile, not for herself, for this family, she can't help but feel more pity.

The old woman said proudly, "Of course. This is not false at all, I have to climb the back mountain every morning for more than ten years, and even the maids around me can't catch up with me. ”

Lin Qingdai smiled indifferently: "I can see it, since Shopkeeper Jiang is not standing here with us, and it is not good to talk, then please go back." ”

The old woman saw that Lin Qingdai was leaving, and suddenly she couldn't give up, there was no one in the family who was so close to her, she could talk about the things she liked, and now she inadvertently met one, for fear that she wouldn't be able to meet it in the future, so she didn't hurry up and keep the guests? !

"Why don't you sit at home for a while, my son Ann should be back."

Only then did Du Wenhao come forward and bow down.

Lin Qingdai introduced: "This is my master. He is also the shopkeeper of our pharmacy. ”

Du Wenhao: "The younger generation's surname is Du Mingyunfan, and I have seen the old lady here."

The old lady saw that Du Wenhao was with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He is also polite when he speaks, and unlike his son's friends who drink and meat, he naturally likes it very much. invited Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai into the Jiang Mansion.

On the first day of the lunar month, the market was opened.

In the past, Du Wenhao never had the opportunity to buy goods with Lin Qingdai, and naturally he did not have the opportunity to see it, but now he is really shocked when he looks at it.

The entire medicine market looks like a kilometer from east to west. The medicine market door faces the east gate, there is a big red satin hanging down high, it is ten meters high, the east and west sides are respectively worshipping the medicine king Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth, there is an offering fruit and high incense, and the small opening market is a pre-selected time, there is a medicine shop with the highest seniority, leading all the people to enter the incense first. After the worship. Only then was the market officially announced.

The medicine market is full of people, and businessmen from the south, south, and northwest gather here, which is very lively.

When Du Wenhao and the three of them opened the market, they didn't see any one in the Yang family's medicinal herb shop, and they were wondering, so they casually pulled a seller and asked, only to find out that the Yang family's shelf was very big, and they rarely came in person, they all directly opened a list of the pharmacy here and sent it over, and the Yang family only did business with the Jiang family, who didn't know that the Jiang family was a well-known medicinal material merchant in Dali, and if they could get in touch with them, the business would naturally be half better.

Du Wenhao thought that it might be better for Yang Rui not to be behind. Anyway, Lin Qingdai had a good chat with his mother on the first day. even agreed to accompany Jiang's mother to climb the mountain, and the two of them deliberately said goodbye before Jiang Huaiyuan came back, in order not to make extraneous branches, they originally wanted to find Jiang Huaiyuan directly, but then after thinking about it, forget it, maybe Jiang's mother came forward and things would be easier to do.

Sure enough, as Du Wenhao expected, after shopping in the entire medicine market, everyone has medicinal materials on hand, but as long as they hear that Du Wenhao is from Xiushan County, they will not sell them at any price, no matter how high the price is, they will not sell it to you, you have no way to do it. It was expected that the three of them would return empty-handed, but there was nothing to be depressed about.

Anyway, the medicine market will be open for half a month, Du Wenhao is not in a hurry, the guest's medicine needs to be taken for a few days to have an effect, Du Wenhao stayed in the inn and read a book on a poisonous day. Lin Qingdai accompanied Jiang's mother to climb the mountain every day, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and continued to go to the teahouse for a day without anything to listen to this. It's called the matter of Ho Li County Order. Ten days have passed.

On this day, Lin Qingdai went out early in the morning as usual to accompany Jiang's mother to climb the mountain, Du Wenhao was lying on the bed reading a book with nothing to do, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.
