Since it is a visit, gifts are a must, and a set of tables and chairs is a bit of a grade.

In order to prepare a gift for Hou Jian. Su Ren, Leng Jun, and Huo Laosi went back to Laojunguan to see if anything had happened to Laojunguan. According to Leng Jun's statement, his ** incense can last until noon the next day. However, Su Ren felt that this was a bit exaggerated, because the house was a place where the smuggler reported the matter to the salt boss, and there must be many people. Maybe those people will be found before dawn.

Seeing that Lao Junguan was looking at everything as usual, Su Ren's heart was relieved a little. The wing room on the west side of Laojunguan is a warehouse specially used to store furniture. In the month when Su Ren and Huo Laosi went to the forest to boil salt, Leng Jun had already built a lot of furniture. According to Su Ren's original meaning, these things were used to sell, and now they have to give another set.

The mansion of the county lieutenant Hou Jian is outside the city, and you can enter it no matter how late it is. When Su Ren and the others came back, it was dark again. Su Ren was a little helpless, every time he came to Wenshui County, it was night, in this era when there were no cars, it was boring to walk for twenty miles.

Carrying two chairs on his back, Leng Jun felt a little awkward in his heart: "Since you know that Hou Jian is not a good person, why do you want to send him something?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Believe me? ”

Leng Jun snorted coldly: "What can you belief, what can you do if you don't believe?" Anyway, they are county lieutenants, what can we do with them? Look at the people you offended, a county magistrate, a county lieutenant, and that county magistrate are all using us. ”

"That's not right, at least the county is not my offense, that's your master, we're just wiping his ass for the old man."

Leng Jun had nothing to say, so he no longer paid attention to Su Ren and just walked with his head down. The military camp is located at the northwest corner of the county, as a small border county, the number of government soldiers cannot exceed 300, which is a strict order of the imperial court. The barracks of 300 people were not very big. Hou Jian's county lieutenant is also hereditary, and this was originally the territory of Chu in the pre-Qin period, and the Hou family was the county lieutenant at that time. In the Han Dynasty, after Gaozu Liu Bang entered Wenshui County, the Hou family killed the county order at that time, Kaicheng surrendered, and the Hou family continued to be the county lieutenant.

Hou Jian's mansion is actually in the barracks, the barracks of 300 government soldiers, forming a village and town around the Hou family, which is more prosperous than the county seat, not only has a wine shop, but also a brothel. The lights in the barracks can be seen several miles away, which is also a major feature of Wenshui County. Although it is lively, the sentry is also meticulous. When Su Ren and the others came to the door, they were stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The small ones are not bad people, the small ones are sending things to the county lieutenant! Su Ren's groveling appearance was revealed again, causing Su Ren to hurriedly take two steps back.

The soldiers standing guard looked at Su Ren and raised their eyebrows. Su Ren hurriedly took out dozens of coppers and put them in the hands of the soldier leader, and the soldier's attitude immediately changed, with a smile on his face: "I'm still a sensible person, okay, let's go in!" The door of my lord's house is the largest one. ”

"Thank you, Master Jun, thank you!" Thanks a thousand thanks, Su Ren, Leng Jun, and Huo Laosi entered the barracks.

At the entrance of the barracks, there were two neat rows of houses, with racks of knives and guns at the doors, and long horses and short knives arranged in neat rows. The house was darkly lit, and there was no one in the house, so I guess I was spending all my time in the liquor shops and brothels inside.

I didn't go far to the Hou Mansion, the stone lion at the gate was really majestic, and the wide gatehouse was taller than the main gate of the county government. Three or five soldiers with big shoulders and round waists stood on the steps of the gatehouse. These men were majestic, holding the sword at their waist in one hand and their waist in the other, and their whole bodies were draped, like gods descending from the earth. Although it is a government soldier, the military uniform is also the traditional style of the Han Dynasty, with black and red robes, thick-soled riding boots, heavy leather armor to protect the chest and abdomen, and the bright red helmet on the leather hat stands straight in the light. Several people neither exchanged heads nor laughed and scolded. Stand straight with your legs crossed. It's scary to see from afar.

"It turned out to be a clay sculpture, which scared Lao Tzu!" Su Ren came to see it clearly, reached out and touched it, I don't know if it is the same meaning as the Terracotta Army.

The door was opened by an elderly man. His beard was white, but his eyes were fierce, and he looked at Su Ren expressionlessly.

Su Ren hurriedly bowed and swept the ground: "The old man is fine, I came from Lao Junguan and specially gave a gift to the captain, and I am tired of the old man to report it." ”

The old man turned around and closed the door with a dead face, and a voice came from inside the door: "Wait! ”

Standing in front of the empty door of the Hou Mansion, the night wind blew on his body, and it was still a little chilly to pour in from the wide sleeves of his robe. After waiting and waiting, the old man didn't come out, and several people waited a little anxiously. Leng Jun had already put down the Taishi chair and lifted Erlang's legs.

"Why bother? It seems that people don't want to see us. ”

Su Ren also moved a chair and placed it next to Leng Jun, and the two of them sat face to face in front of the door of the Hou Mansion. The soldiers who came and went were strange to see these people, especially the things under their butts that they had never seen before, and they gathered around after a while. Some people who have been to the county government office only then remembered that the county order seemed to have these things, and the discussion became louder.

"Squeak!" As soon as the gate of the Hou Mansion opened, the old man with a dead face coughed: "You can't wait to return to the camp, and you are making noise in front of the captain's door, do you think that the military stick can't beat you?" When the soldiers heard this, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

The dead-faced old man looked at Su Ren: "Master Su, my school captain is invited, please!" ”

Su Renchang got up, shook his robe, followed the appearance of those big officials on TV, straightened his hair crown, shook the dust on the robe, and smiled at the dead-faced old man: "There is labor!" Only then did he slowly walk in.

Leng Jun and Huo Laosi hurriedly picked up their chairs and followed Su Ren, and just walked to the door, but they were stopped by the dead-faced old man, twisting his beard in his hands, and looking at Leng Jun and Huo Laosi: "Two, my school captain only invites Su Gongzi." ”

Leng Jun was angry: "We are here to deliver something, stretch out our hand and don't hit the smiling person, the captain is so to us!" ”

The old man was silent, and his face was still the same. The arm stretched straight in front of Leng Jun and Huo Laosi, and he didn't give an inch.

Su Ren turned around and said, "It's okay, you two are just waiting here, I'll come out soon." When he turned around, he smiled at Leng Jun and Huo Laosi.

The Hou family was the county lieutenant of the two dynasties, and the courtyard at home was indeed very large. There are three entrances before and after, the first one into the courtyard should be the martial arts field, the only big house is facing the gate, the vacant field is full of weapons, and there are stone hammers and stone locks on the ground. The second courtyard is the place where the county lieutenant will meet guests, and the decoration in the living room Su Ren doesn't understand, it looks very simple. At this time, Su Ren actually felt that he could take a random thing from here and go back to his past, it was a priceless treasure.

Kneeling in the guest seat, a handyman poured a glass of water for Su Ren, and brought a plate of seasonal fruits by the way. Citrus is a good product to entertain guests as an original product. You must know that this thing is a tribute, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it. This pollution-free green citrus tastes really good, it tastes sweet, juicy and less, and it is many times stronger than those things in later generations.

When Su Ren was almost eating a plate of citrus, a guy with five big and three thick came from behind the screen. Seeing that Su Ren was concentrating on dealing with citrus, the big man laughed: "Okay! No one dared to eat it in the past, but you were the first, how did it taste? ”

The man was tall and fat, and the general's belly bulged outward. Small clothes and short clothes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of beard, and an urn sound when he speaks, this is the standard image of an ancient soldier.

"Yes, it's indeed the best fruit in the world." Su Ren didn't get up, reached out and took one and threw it to the person who came.

Someone came to catch it, peeled off the skin and sent it to the mouth, walked to the main seat in three or two steps, and sat down cross-legged: "This orange is native to Chudi, and someone on the ancestors planted a few, and planted it in my back garden, at this time of the year, it is fruitful, the color is golden and very gratifying, but it is a pity that this year there are thieves who have climbed over the wall and stolen a lot, and the rest is not enough for my family to eat, let Su Gongzi taste it today, and wait for Su Gongzi to return to Chengdu, don't worry, hahaha......."

Su Ren nodded: "Presumably, that thief is not stealing, but just hungry and hungry, Captain, it doesn't hurt if your lord has a lot of forgiveness, right?" ”

"That's a mistake! Hahaha! Hou Jian laughed, and his voice almost lifted the roof: "My family's is mine's, come to the door to ask for maybe give him a bite to eat, this thief's trick always makes people feel uncomfortable." ”

"That's true, but I don't know how to ask for it?"

"It's easy to say, this is a rare thing, selling it cheaply is insulting to the merits of the ancestors, not to mention ten thousand taels of gold, five dollars a piece, what does Su Gongzi think?"

"Isn't five dollars more expensive? A bucket of rice grain is only five yuan, I think one dollar is more suitable! ”

Hou Jian smiled: "Then I don't know how much Su Gongzi wants?" ”

"How many lieutenants are there?"

"Five thousand a month, is it much?"

"Not much, just right!" Su Ren hugged his fist at Hou Jianyi: "Thank you Captain, I tasted the captain's oranges today, I can't repay it, I gave the captain a set of furniture, I hope the captain likes it, although the gift is light, there is still favor." ”

"Hahaha! But it's the same as the county family? ”

"Exactly!"

"Very good! Then I'll laugh at it? ”

The dead-faced old man sent Su Ren out, Su Ren asked Leng Jun and Huo Laosi to put the furniture at the door, arched his hand at the dead-faced old man, and turned around and left with Leng Jun and Huo Laosi.

Walking out of the barracks, Leng Jun hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Is it this Hou Jian? ”

Su Ren nodded, turned his head and said to Huo Laosi: "Starting tomorrow, you will contact all the smuggled salt sellers, and let them take salt from us in the future, each catty of salt will grow to four yuan, and the price of selling it will still be five yuan, and find some other people, we will expand production, at least five thousand catties per month." ”

"Ahh Huo Laosi was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a smile, he didn't understand how Su Ren and Hou Jian were talking, and suddenly they were going to make such a big move.
