Chapter Ninety-Six: Doing What He Likes (Part II)
The charming girl who was massaging Bo Ya's shoulder saw me, and whispered something in Bo Ya's ear, Bo Yao breathed a sigh of relief, shook his neck, and turned around, he was in his forties, well maintained, his hair was black and dense, there were no wrinkles on his white face, and the three strands of black beard made him look very elegant, and he looked like a chic man at first glance, but his eyes were full of fatigue, obviously because of excessive wine.

I said respectfully: "Hello Dazai-sama, the villain Lu Yuan came from the Chu State to visit your lordship. ”
Bo Yao hummed softly and said, "I heard that your grandfather used to be my family's former groom?" ”
I smiled and said, "Dazai-sama remembers?" ”
"Remember...... Remember...... However, after so many years, the impression is somewhat vague. What Bo Yao said was just a polite remark, how could he remember a horseman in the past mansion with his identity, not to mention that he was still young when he fled from the Chu State, and his vague impression was not false.
I sighed: "After the fall of the Bofu, my grandfather passed away soon after, and he always remembered the benefits of the old master, and later heard that you escaped the disaster and came to the country of Wu, and specially instructed me that if I can come to the country of Wu one day, I must come to meet Lord Dazai." ”
Bo Yao couldn't help but show a little moved, and nodded: "It's hard to see that there are still people who remember me." He gestured to the other side, motioned for me to sit down, and told the two ladies to get up and make tea.
I respectfully put the gift I brought in front of him, Bo Yao unfolded the gift box, his eyes couldn't help but light up, the gift box contained a pair of jade bi I specially selected, which was obtained during the capture of Mochizuki City, according to Ying Lian, this pair of jade bi is a rare treasure. She was born into a princely family, and was accustomed to seeing treasures, and since it must be a good thing to say, I chose it as a gift to Bo Ya.
Bo Yao stroked the jade for a long time, his eyes showed a look of great joy, and he said for a long time: "If I am not mistaken, this pair of jade should not be produced in the Central Plains, it should be the work of Rong Di craftsmen in the northwest, the carving is first-class, and the jade quality is even more first-class, how can I accept such a valuable gift!" Although he said kind words, his palm was not willing to leave Yubi for half a point, and he would not refuse no matter what.
I laughed and said, "What is this little gift compared to the kindness of Dazai's ancestors to my grandfather?" If Dazai didn't accept it, my grandfather Izumishita would definitely blame me. ”
Bo Yao pretended to be quite moved: "In this case, I can only be disrespectful." ”
After accepting my gift, Bo Ya was very affectionate to me, and asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food for me to dine at the house.
Bo Yao drank a lot of wine, drank boldly, frequently raised glasses during the banquet, with my amount of alcohol will definitely not be his opponent, after drinking a few glasses, he was dizzy, Bo Yao saw that I drank mediocre, and did not force me much, and smiled: "What business is Lu Gongzi coming to Wu this time for?" ”
I whispered, "I don't dare to lie in front of Dazai, as long as it's a profitable business, I'll do it." ”
Bo Yao was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Well said, well said!" ”
I said, "Recently, silk in the north has become good, and I want to buy a batch of silk from Wu State." I just said this, but I didn't expect Bo Yao to listen to it intentionally.
He said in a low voice: "The silk of Wu Kingdom is not cheap now. He took a sip of his glass, and said: "What's more, the king has recently ordered that all silk must be handed over to the national treasury in a unified manner, and the state will buy and sell it externally, and buying and selling silk privately is tantamount to violating national law." ”
I didn't know that Wu Guo was so strict about the management of silk trading, so I made a look of sincere fear and said, "If it wasn't for Dazai-sama to remind me, I would have almost done something wrong." ”
Bo Yao smiled mysteriously: "What is right and what is wrong?" In fact, this incident was aimed at the Yue Kingdom, although the Wu Kingdom was the birthplace of silk, but in the past two years, there was a shortage of mulberry leaves, and the number of silk produced had dropped sharply. The king naturally did not want to see this situation, and ordered Gou Jian to unify the price of silk, and half of the silk produced in Yue must be handed over to Wu State, which was uniformly distributed by Wu State. ”
I secretly said in my heart: "Fucha really bullied Gou Jian to get home, no wonder Gou Jian hates him so much." ”
Bo Yao said: "This matter has been handed over to me to deal with, and it will be announced to the country in the next two days." ”
I was pleasantly surprised and said, "Please Dazai-sama do it!" ”
Bo Yao smiled and said: "You have a relationship with me, besides, I think you are also an honest gentleman, if I don't take care of you, will I take care of other people?" One thing I dare say is that not only can you buy and sell silk openly, but you can also get the lowest price. ”
This was a windfall for me, and Bo Ya must have wanted to use me to dispose of the stolen goods he had taken bribes, and human greed was really endless.
Bo Yao said: "Yue Guo has paid tribute to a hundred beauties, and they will arrive in Gusu in these two days, and along with these beauties, there are fifty carts of fine silk, I will help you pay attention." ”
I knocked on the side and said, "It seems that King Goujian of Yue has a lot of respect for Wu Guo!" ”
Bo Yao laughed and said: "A monarch who has almost lost his country, what dignity is there to talk about......" He seemed to realize that he was talking too much, and stopped talking: "Where does Lu Gongzi live now?" ”
I replied calmly, "I rented a mansion in the Yin Mansion in Tanchun Lane, which is very close to Dazai-sama. ”
Dazai Boyao smiled and said, "Okay, with such a vision at such a young age, the future of Lu Gongzi will definitely be limitless." ”
"I hope you will give me a lot of help."
"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
The 100 beauties paid tribute by the Yue Kingdom arrived in Gusu City three days later, and when the escort team entered the city, all the people in Gusu City poured into the streets to see the beauty of the Yue women.
Yingluo and I were also mixed in with the crowd, looking towards the center of the street, but we saw that at the head of the line was a group of fifty Wu guards, they were wearing bronze armor, riding on all the red horses, majestic, the bronze armor was deeply reflected in the sun, and their eyes were full of pride and pride, and they were responsible for leading the way at the front.
Walking behind them was twenty Yue Guo guards, from which I found two familiar faces, one is Fan Li, who has been meeting for a long time, and the other is my brother-in-law Taifu Qu Mu, these two are important figures in the Yue Kingdom, this time they can actually come together, which shows that Yue Wang Gou Jian attaches great importance to this trip.
I put on a human skin mask and naturally don't have to worry about them seeing through my identity, looking directly at Fan Li, but seeing Fan Li's expression calm, his eyes calm, if the private relationship between him and Xi Shi recorded in history is true, just this rational kung fu to control feelings, it makes me ashamed.
Qu Mu smiled and talked about something with Fan Li, and when he talked about the happy place, he burst into laughter.
Behind them were nearly thirty richly decorated four-seater carriages, each with low curtains, much to the disappointment of the people who had come to see the beautiful beauty of the Yue country.
The carriage slowly drove through the middle of the street, passing in front of me, the curtain of one of the carriages was quietly lifted, a girl looked curiously from the middle to the outside, just happened to meet my eyes, when I saw her face clearly, my heart couldn't help but shake violently, the whole person was stunned as if hit by a thunderbolt, I never thought that the girl in the car was actually moving light, and my heart couldn't help but be chaotic, this ambitious little Nizi has not fallen in love with the prince of Yue and Yi? Why did he fall into the situation of being sent to the state of Wu?
Shifting Light apparently didn't recognize me, a pair of beautiful eyes swept coldly over my face, and then quickly lowered the curtains.
After the convoy passed, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the people of Gusu City could hear their sighs everywhere because they did not see the true faces of the beauties of the Yue Kingdom.
Yingluo and I returned to the mansion from the path.
Yingluo could see that I was in a bad mood and didn't dare to disturb me along the way.
As soon as he walked into the mansion, he saw Kaolie greet him, and he whispered: "Childe, just now Dazai Boyao sent someone over, saying that he would let Childe come to the mansion at night, and he has something important to discuss with you." ”
I nodded listlessly and said, "Got it, you go and help me prepare!" ”
At this time, the two brothers Feng Tu and Feng Xin also came in from outside, and the two of them were sent by me to inquire about what had happened in Gusu City in the past few days.
After saluting me, Feng Xin said: "I heard that Wu Wangfu will summon the beauties of Yue in Shicheng in the evening. ”
Feng Tu said: "In the past two days, Gusu City has been full of patrolling Wu soldiers, and they will interrogate people who are the slightest deliberate, and the two of us have been interrogated as many as five times along the way. ”
I said indifferently: "It seems that Wu Guo does not trust the Yue people. ”
Feng Tu nodded and said, "By the way, I heard that the fugitive who tried to rob the beauties of Yue a few days ago has been caught." ”
I frowned, if the news of the slaughter is true, Bai Zheng should have been caught, I don't have much sympathy for this simple-minded guy who causes trouble everywhere, it would be better to catch him, so that he would suddenly run out and ruin my plan.
