Chu Huan followed Linlang's side, walked to the door, and saw Su Bo supporting an old man with a sixtieth armor coming to the lobby, Linlang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Xu, why are you here on this cold day?" Stepping forward to help the old owner Xu into the house, Chu Huan saw that Linlang respected this old man so much, then this old man must have something worthy of respect, and he also bowed.

After Mr. Xu sat down, he coughed for a while, looking very weak, Linlang hurriedly asked Su Bo to make tea, and then said with a wry smile: "Uncle Xu, you are not feeling well, I heard that you have been lying in bed for two months and have not gotten up, Linlang wanted to take time to see you, but he has not been free, Uncle Xu should not blame." ”

Old Boss Xu took out a handkerchief tremblingly, wiped the corners of his mouth, leaned back in the chair, his voice was a little weak, but it was still very clear: "Linlang, your affairs here, old man...... The old man has already heard about it. Originally, this could have been filmed by the kid below, but ...... But the old man was not at ease, so he came to see it in person, and his heart was steady. ”

Linlang sighed: "Thank you Uncle Xu for remembering." Xiang Chu Huan said: "Chu Huan, this is the old owner of Xu who is full of prosperity, and he is also an old friend of his father. My father started from scratch back then, it was under the care of Uncle Xu, at that time no one bought the wine we brewed, and it was Uncle Xu who was the first to buy wine from me and Shengquan, which helped my father open the wine market little by little! ”

Old Dong Xu looked at Chu Huan, and Chu Huan had already arched his hand and said, "Senior Chu Huan, I've seen Old Dong Xu!" ”

Old Uncle Xu waved his hand and said, "No need to ...... No need to be polite! Coughing for a while, he said: "Linlang, I saw the Ma shopkeeper and the Zhu shopkeeper on the road, are they here to bully you?" ”

Linlang smiled bitterly and did not speak.

Old Dong Xu sneered: "Ungrateful things, don't pay attention to the ...... of those people!" He looked at Linlang again and said, "If it weren't for the people from the Fang family in Xinzhou coming to the door, the old man wouldn't know that something big had happened to you." You kid, you really make the old man angry, you have such a big thing, but you don't say a word to the old man...... The old man is also your father's sworn brother, although the old bones are loose, but they have not softened, and the brain is not confused, your father also explained to you before he died, there is something to ...... If you have something, go to me and discuss, you child...... How can you be so disobedient......! It seemed that he was really a little angry, coughing violently, Linlang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu Laodong pat his back.

The old owner Xu was relieved, and then said: "The old man is cautious, although it seems that the world is peaceful now, but there are many people in the country...... Therefore, the old man had already accumulated a lot of food to meet the needs of the emergency. I have already sent someone to transport that batch of grain to Qingliu County early this morning, although it is not much, but it can still allow you to last for three or four months, give you more time, and let you think of more methods. ”

Linlang and Chu Huan were both taken aback.

"Uncle Xu, you ......!" Linlang's voice was choked, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Chu Huan couldn't figure out the details of Old Xu's family before, but when he heard him say this, he was immediately in awe.

"Needless to say." Old Uncle Xu raised his hand, waved it, and said solemnly: "The wall is down and everyone pushes it, and it is impossible to bully the strong and bully." The Fang family in Xinzhou sent people to our Yunshan Mansion to publicize the matter of the food shortage in Shengquan, and they had people from all the restaurants to visit, which was an opportunity to rob the wine market ...... Yunshan Mansion! ”

Lin Lang sneered: "The Fang family has always liked to do this kind of thing to steal chickens and dogs while people are in danger. ”

Old Xu said: "Now that he and Shengquan are in trouble, the Fang family is surging in, and they are still holding the title of the Gate of Imperial Wine, which is menacing." Wei Yi groaned, and then said in a low voice: "Liu Juguang is intent on rectifying your Su family, and the Fang family is taking advantage of the situation again, but the situation is not optimistic, but ...... But you don't have to be afraid, there is no other way, and there is ...... the way to the wine! ”

Linlang said: "Uncle Xu is talking about the imperial wine election after the year?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Laodong bowed slightly: "The imperial wine election is a round every five years, and the days of the election are the twentieth of the first month, and now it is nearly the end of the year, and after the New Year, the imperial wine election will begin, as long as your Su family can win, all the troubles will be solved." ”

Linlang sighed lightly: "It's not easy to win the championship. ”

Xu Laodong said: "The bamboo sake of the Su family is well-known in Yunshan Mansion, and the Qianye red of the Fang family is incomparable. The last time he was defeated in the hands of the Fang family, it was just the unfairness of the officials who selected it, God was blind once, and he will not be blind for the second time! The old man coughed again, and then said solemnly: "Linlang, the more people want to see your jokes, the more you can't let them see the jokes, remember, there is still righteousness between heaven and earth!" ”

The old man's words were righteous and strict, Chu Huan heard it in his ears, he was deeply touched, bowed his head slightly, and muttered to himself: "Yes, this world is ...... There is always a hint of righteousness! ”

Linlang's expression became firm, and said: "Uncle Xu, Linlang will not give up, and will definitely fight to comfort his father's spirit in the sky!" ”

Mr. Xu smiled, bowed slightly, and was about to get up, but Linlang hurriedly helped him up, and Mr. Xu said: "It's cold, the old man is not in good health, go back first." If you encounter trouble, you go to the old man...... Linlang, the Fang family's wine, I Quanjusheng will not help him buy a penny, you and Sheng Quan will only have the last drop of wine left, and I will also shout to sell it ......! ”

Linlang was extremely moved, and her eyes were red.

Bidding farewell to the old boss Xu, Chu Huancai said: "Big boss, not everyone will fall into the ground, there are still people behind us to support us, you cheer up, we will definitely win the selection of imperial wine after the year!" ”

Linlang was relieved in her heart, she liked to hear Chu Huan say "we" and "we", that was to put the two together, when she was the most difficult, Chu Huan had been standing by her side, her heart was warm, and she said softly: "Chu Huan, thank you, you are by my side, I ...... I'm not afraid of anything. As soon as the words came out, his face was slightly dizzy, quite charming.

……

……

Two more winter snows have passed, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is only more than ten days before the end of the year, Linlang has not been idle because of the predicament, and at the end of the year, she counts the accounts, inspects the shops under her name, and checks the accounts, Chu Huan has naturally been by her side.

On this day, Wei Tianqing sent someone over and invited Chu Huan to eat at the Shunfeng Pavilion, Chu Huan said to Linlang, leaving Wang Han and Fat Liu to take care of them in the mansion, and he rode a black horse to the Shunfeng Pavilion, and as soon as he went upstairs, he saw Wei Tianqing waiting.

After taking his seat, Wei Tianqing said mysteriously: "Brother Chu, do you know why I invited you here to eat?" ”

Chu Huan saw that Wei Tianqing seemed to be happy, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Wei has been promoted?" ”

Wei Tianqing laughed and said, "Now that I have five thousand Praetorian Guards in my hands, it will be difficult to be promoted in this Yunshan Mansion, and the Governor is still very important to me, and he will not let me go easily." ”

"So what's that?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "Brother Wei seems to be very happy? ”

Wei Tianqing lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember that group of Jiang bandits?" ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Wei Tianqing was talking about Lin Dai'er's group, and nodded and said, "Naturally remember." He frowned and said, "Could it be that Brother Wei has already found out their identities?" ”

Wei Tianqing nodded and smiled: "Not bad!" ”

Chu Huan suddenly became interested, and asked in a low voice, "Who are they?" ”

"It's really a bunch of bandits." Wei Tianqing said: "The people who are still the gods are powerful, starting from the horses, touching the melons along the vines, and finding out the whereabouts of those people!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned: "Horses? ”

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "Brother Chu, you still remember, when we got out of danger that day, my wife and I got a horse back, and that horse was obtained from that group of Jiang bandits!" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "You can find that group of people from a horse?" ”

Wei Tianqing sighed: "I used to hear people say how powerful the Divine Clothes Guard is, but I never believed it. But this time, in order to crack this case, the governor secretly invited the people of the Shenyi Guard, and the Shenyi Guard only came with a hundred households and three subordinates, so he figured out the matter, which has to be admired. ”

Chu Huan narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "How did they find out?" ”

"My Daqin's horses, that are all to be recorded, each horse's coat color, leg length, body length, mouth shape, tail shape are all measured, the record is very clear, in the household department of the pawn stable." Wei Tianqing said softly: "But the horse I got was not recorded, obviously it was not a stallion, but a private horse that the horse dealer concealed from the government's transactions!" ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, but did not speak.

"In fact, it is not difficult to find out which smugglers there are." Wei Tianqing said: "The people of the Shenyi Guard, with the help of the local government for a while, secretly searched and finally found out the source of this horse. Our horses in Daqin mainly have three origins, one is the northwest horse, the other is the Guanzhong horse, and the other is the Liaodong horse. ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "Guanzhong Ma doesn't seem to be on the stage, right?" ”

In fact, there is a great reason for his words, when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of horses, the Xiliang horses of the Xiliang people are naturally second to none, the Xiliang country is located in the northwest of Daqin, occupying the land of Kyushu, of which there are six states of the land is an endless prairie, cattle and sheep are like clouds, thousands of healthy horses, although the land area is far less than the Great Qin Empire, but the geographical structure is special, not only there are grasslands, but also desert land, the Xiliang people are brave, and the Xiliang horses are vigorous, which is famous in the world.

In addition to the Xiliang horse, the Liaodong horse produced by the Liaodong Road of Daqin is the most vigorous, but compared to the output, it is not as strong as the northwest horse, and the robustness and speed of the northwest horse are not as good as the Liaodong horse, but the endurance wins.

In addition, there are also Guanzhong horses produced in the land of Guanzhong in Daqin, and the number is not large, and no matter the speed and endurance, they are far inferior to the horses in other regions.

But Guanzhong horse has one benefit, that is, the coat color is pure, the appearance looks very beautiful, this kind of horse is also known as the noble horse, the cart is not successful, and the battle is not even more successful, but the hunting short-distance sprint is not bad, fat and long legs, beautiful appearance, deeply liked by the nobles, this kind of horse that is not used, the price is not cheap.

People who really understand horses never look down on Guanzhong horses in their hearts, just as people who know people never look down on those embroidered pillows that are useless.
