Outside the gate, Fang Jinshi just wanted to turn around and come back, only to see a donkey cart slowly coming from a distance, Fang Jinshi saw from a distance that it was Shi Quan, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, greeted him from afar, and shouted: "Big brother, when did you come back?" ”

Shi Quan jumped down from the donkey cart and said with a smile: "I only came back last night." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Big brother won't tell me when he goes to the north, I've always wanted to go with my big brother to see the world." ”

Shi Quandao: "I was in a hurry at that time, and I didn't say hello to you, when my business is stable, I will definitely take you to Youyun Zhuzhou to have a look." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "That's a must-go." He led Shi Quan to his home, Shi Quan beckoned the guy who came with the cart to unload a few boxes from the donkey cart, and Fang Jinshi said, "What is this?" ”

Shi Quandao: "These are all local products from Youyun, and there are some high-quality clothes, and when you go out once, you always have to come back with something, and you can also try it." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Between our brothers, we don't have to be so polite, right?" ”

Shi Quandao: "Of course I didn't use it before, but now that my brother has a family, it's different, I must have what I should have, otherwise I won't be a man if I make fun of my eldest brother." ”

Fang Jinshi had to give up, although Shi Quan's appearance seemed to be rude, but in fact he was careful and steady, old and serious, and understood the world very well, Fang Jinshi sometimes wanted to learn from him, but he always couldn't learn.

He let Shi Quan go to the guest room, poured fragrant tea, and remembered the three jars of fine Jiuli peach melol left for Shi Quan, so he took it out of the back room, put it on the table and said, "Big brother, this is given to me by King Jing, give it to big brother to taste." ”

Shi Quan picked it up and looked at it, carefully removed the mud seal outside, opened the cork of the wine jar and sniffed it, took a few deep breaths and said: "It's really good wine, it must be authentic Jiuli peach wine, at least more than ten years." ”

Fang Jinshi laughed and said, "Big brother is really a big expert, you can know it when you hear it." ”

Shi Quan hurriedly plugged the wooden cork and said, "I'll take this wine back and drink it slowly, don't finish steaming the wine." Fang Jinshi saw that when he mentioned wine, when it came to peach blossom wine, he was like a child, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The two chatted a few more words, and Fang Jinshi said: "Big brother opened a branch in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, is it going well?" ”

Shi Quan shook his head lightly and said: "Business is difficult to do, Youyun has gone through war, most of the people are poor, and there is no spare money to buy silk and satin, and coarse cloth is also difficult to sell." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Since business is difficult and unprofitable, big brother shouldn't open any semicolons in the land of clouds, and it's good to open more semicolons in Jiangnan." ”

Shi Quandao: "Although it is not profitable, I still want to open a few Jinxian Zhuangs in Youyun Prefecture." ”

Fang Jinshi said curiously: "In business, doing business is naturally to avoid risks and seek benefits, and it is unprofitable to open a branch in Youyun Prefecture, and the risk is big, and the eldest brother has to open a semicolon, which I don't understand." ”

Shi Quandao: "I went this time and walked all the Youyun Prefectures, and what made me feel the most profound was that the Han people there have experienced the influence of the Khitan people in Liao for hundreds of years, and they are different from our Han people in the Central Plains. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "What's the difference?" Aren't they also Han Chinese? ”

Shi Quan's expression was a little worried: "It's true that they are Han people, but they actually think that the clothes of the Khitan people of the Liao Dynasty are better than the clothes of our Han people, and I don't think of the gorgeous beauty of the clothes of the Han people, I just thought, I want to transport the best clothes and materials of Jinxian Village to Youyun, even if I lose money for a few years, I have to slowly change them." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid that it is not easy to change the inherent views of some people, and it is not something that can be done in a short time. ”

Shi Quan Zhengse said: "Of course I know that a small cloth village in Yijin Xianzhuang is just a drop in the bucket, but I think I can make as much effort as I can, and it is always better to do a little than to do nothing, and it is only right that Han people always wear Han clothes." ”

Fang Jinshi listened to Shi Quan's words, and couldn't help but be in awe, although the descendants of the Yan and Huang people of the Chinese nation, although they have gone through thousands of difficulties for thousands of years, and there have indeed been many traitors and lackeys, there are always some lovely people like Shi Quan, some ordinary people, most of the Han people, inheriting the Han tradition, continuing the Chinese civilization, in one line, and the fire is endless.

Fang Jinshi originally wanted to advise Shi Quan not to go to the semicolon of Kaijin Line Village in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, but at this time, he suddenly felt that he should support Shi Quan, even if he knew that these would be businesses with no money in the future, he would do it.

Fang Jinshi said: "Big brother has this heart, I don't have anything else to say except to support big brother." ”

Shi Quandao: "If you have this heart, it will be done, and I don't want you to do anything, by the way, when I came, I saw two people from the government going out from here, what are they coming to do?" Is it your friend? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "No, they are here to report to me, a few days ago, I earned a military position when I was in Shaanxi, and now I have been transferred to the capital, big brother, I didn't go to Yushitai, and I didn't go to Kaifeng Mansion Cangcao, you won't blame me." ”

Shi Quandao: "What is the military position?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "Now he is a martial arts doctor, and his affiliation is undecided." ”

Shi Quan was overjoyed and said: "It's so high, it should be seven grades, are you stupid to be a big brother?" Still blame you? ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I'm just afraid that I'm wasting my eldest brother's hard work." ”

Shi Quan stood up and said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, what is the painstaking thing, such a good thing should at least drink a few glasses, take a walk, call the Feng family brothers, and then call a few friends to be lively together." ”

When he heard that Fang Jinshi had actually been promoted to a seventh-rank military position, he was really happy for him, and he couldn't sit down anymore, so he pulled him out to drink and celebrate, and said as he walked: "Tomorrow, I will call more friends and neighbors, and you can also call your friends and colleagues, and set up a few seats here, such a big happy event must be well publicized." ”

Fang Jinshi had no choice but to listen to him, the two of them went out of the house together, and when they walked into the yard, they happened to meet Huang Jinmian coming back from outside, and she followed a sister-in-law with two bamboo baskets in her hands, and she didn't know what to buy.

Huang Jinmian saw Shi Quan, and saluted: "Brother Shi." ”

Shi Quan still knew her, and said with a smile: "Miss Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, does King Xiu have something to see him?" "He has not been in Bianliang City for a long time, and when he came back, he came in a hurry, and the guy in the store had not told him about the Fang family, so he didn't know.

Huang Jinmian glanced at Fang Jinshi awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer him, so he had to say "oh" and said, "No." ”

Shi Quan sensed her strangeness, turned around to look at Fang Jinshi, and Fang Jinshi said, "She lives here, big brother, let's go." ”

The two went out together, got into Shi Quanlai's donkey cart, and when they sat in the car, Fang Jinshi said: "That Huang girl and King Xiu had a temper and lived here temporarily." ”

Shi Quandao: "How do you stay temporarily?" You left someone to live here for no reason, ruining the reputation of the girl. Fang Jinshi smiled proudly: "I can't destroy it, she is now my concubine, and King Xiu gave her to me." ”

Shi Quan turned his head to look at him, and said with a look of disbelief on his face, "Really? ”

Huang Jinmian's temper Shi Quan still knows, when he was recuperating from injuries before, Huang Jinmian visited him a few times, and Huang Jinmian would marry him, a brother who was not very competitive and had no literary talents, as a concubine, which was really a thing that made Shi Quan a little difficult to resemble.

Fang Jinshi said proudly: "Of course it's true, during the time that the eldest brother left Bianliang, I found two more women to enter, one is her, and the other is the other, I will bring it to the eldest brother to see the gift." ”

Shi Quan couldn't help frowning and said, "You are messing around like this, my brother and sister didn't say anything else?" Fang Jinshi saw that his tone was a little displeased, and he hurriedly said, "She didn't say anything." ”

Shi Quan didn't say anything more, and was silent for a while before saying: "It stands to reason that I am the eldest brother, I shouldn't say anything about such private matters, and I am not against you marrying a few more women, it is also a fact that your family is not prosperous, but if you marry someone, you always have to be responsible for other people's lives, like the new and hate the old, and abandon the chaos is the most unconscionable." ”

His tone was very heavy, and Fang Jinshi said: "The lesson of the eldest brother is that I am all sincere to them, and I will never do anything without conscience." ”

Shi Quan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Big brother speaks a little straight, don't blame him." After a pause, he said: "Tomorrow, you take them and pick up some materials to make clothes in the store, the eldest brother has nothing else, and there are still some brocade fabrics." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Is it a random pick?" ”

Shi Quan also smiled and said, "Naturally, it's ......."

After these two sentences, the matter was revealed, and Fang Jinshi said: "Why is the eldest brother marrying Miss Feng?" I'm waiting to drink my brother's wine. ”

Shi Quandao: "It's almost the New Year this year, let's talk about it." Although he still said "say it again", but he said that this year is about to celebrate the New Year, Fang Jinshi suddenly heard the meaning of his words, this year is already late, so what about next year? It seems that he has changed his mind, and his tone is not at all as stubborn as before.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, they sent a guy to invite the Feng family brothers to come over, Feng Qing was not there, Feng Bao came over, and pulled a few friends, the banquet was opened, the banquet was lively, and during the banquet, Shi Quan said to Fang Jinshi: "Do you remember the Cui Langzhong who treated my injuries?" ”

Fang Jinshi immediately remembered that the veterinarian Cui Langzhong Cui Hu with a very personality nodded and said, "Remember." ”

Shi Quandao: "I met him when I was in Zhuozhou, he was going to go to the bitter cold land in the extreme north to collect some ginseng and other medicinal materials, he had a few medicinal materials on hand that were hard to find, ask me to think of some methods, and I will give you the list when I turn around, you should also pay attention." ”

Fang Jinshi nodded and agreed, although this Cui Hu is a veterinarian, his medical skills are also very good, he is a disciple of Zhang Xian, a famous imperial doctor in Bianliang City.
