Chapter 397: Surprises await him

South of Suizhou City, Fuqing old store. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The owner, Lao Wu, is busy, and with guests staying in, things will naturally increase. As long as he can make money, even if it is hard work, he is very happy, and as soon as he finished wiping the table, he looked up and saw a group of people walking in.
Oops, how? Business has been so good these days? And so many customers? Lao Wu's heart is happy. It's been a long time since I've had such a good business, and when I opened the door this time, there were a lot of guests, which was really rare. It seems that the day when you can make money to hire a doctor for your daughter-in-law and hold your grandson by yourself is not far away.
"A few guest officers, do you want to eat some food or stay in the hotel?" Lao Wu smiled and immediately stepped forward, very courteous, respectful and warm.
"Find someone!"
Lao Wu didn't expect the attitude of the person who came to be so bad, and his speech was even more cold and polite, vicious, and not polite at all. However, in these years, there are more rich and powerful people, and it is not unusual for such a situation to occur. Lao Wu has been running a shop for many years, and some things have long been commonplace and accustomed to it, so there is no negative emotion.
Little people, can't we hide if we can't afford to provoke it? Lao Wu immediately resigned himself and asked, "I don't know who Zunjia is looking for?" ”
"Do you have any merchants from Xizhou?"
"Xizhou?" Lao Wu was slightly stunned, a little stunned, and after a while, he realized that it was not the people who came before! So that's what happened, empty rejoicing! Lao Wu was slightly disappointed, but the requirements of the guests are always the most important, these are the masters, and they must be taken care of.
The old shopkeepers have a lot of ideas, and they seem to be businessmen, as long as they come and go to Suizhou in the future. They all live here. It's also a lot of money! Now let's take care of it first. So happily I went to inform the guests a few days ago.
"A few guests, someone is looking for them!" Lao Wu stood at the door and shouted.
Li Donglin and Ah Chang in the room were shocked when they heard the news, what? Is it the jewelry of Western Xia that has arrived?
Li Donglin and Ah Chang glanced at each other, slightly embarrassed. It's no wonder, after all, he is not a member of the caravan, and if he recognizes it, he will probably wear a goof. It's a bit of a problem. Although when inquiring at the time, the caravan said that the people who pick up the goods are different every year, and the problem is not big, it is inevitable that they are still a little worried.
This kind of performance falls in Ah Chang's eyes, which inevitably makes people a little suspicious. How? What's wrong with this kid? Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart? Be a thief? Although Ah Chang temporarily believed in Li Donglin's so-called nomination, he was also looking forward to his wonderful performance, hoping to make a good start for rescuing the seven girls and help his uncle's actions.
However, Ah Chang has never dared to take it lightly. is still wary of Li Donglin. After all, the heart of defense is indispensable, and Li Donglin has many mysteries. Especially today, the customers of Xixia come to the door. It's even more special. If he really has bad intentions, then today is the time for him to collude with Western Xia, and maybe he will take immediate action.
For a while, in the small inn, the atmosphere was tense and even murderous!
Vigilance is a must, so Ah Chang is even more nervous than Li Donglin.
Seeing this scene, Li Donglin couldn't help but shake his head lightly, a good heart, still suspected, really helpless! However, there is no way to do this, and many things cannot be said face-to-face, so misunderstanding is misunderstanding.
Li Donglin had the mentality of enduring humiliation, but he was very relaxed, and now he can't take care of it much. Moreover, he felt that it was a good thing that Ah Chang was so cautious and vigilant, in case his side was in trouble, the vigilance of the great enemy would come in handy, and maybe it would be crucial.
"Brother Achang, I'm going to see the guest!" Li Donglin asked for instructions, got up and walked out. I secretly said in my heart: I'm not afraid of shadows, just look at it, my name is here!
"Good!" Ah Chang answered, got up and said, "I'll go with you!" ”
Today is a more important scene, he must be present, Ah Chang always insisted, carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Li Donglin couldn't cry or laugh, Ah Chang went, in case something happened, maybe he could be his own help. It's just that in this way, if it is a goof, wouldn't it be a joke? Or maybe it's a misunderstanding, but it's not good.
In the final analysis, Ah Chang still doesn't completely reassure himself, it's really troublesome! But the matter has come to this point, so I can only bite the bullet, and take one step at a time.
"Are you looking for Li?" Li Donglin walked out of the room and saw several burly Xixia people, looking a little fierce and vicious, standing at the door.
"You? But Xizhou's Jade Xuan's? The Xixia people didn't take Li Donglin seriously, and asked directly.
"Yes!" If you say too much, you will lose, Li Donglin didn't say much else, and immediately showed a token to show his identity. These people who pick up the goods seem to change every year, so they only recognize the tokens but not the people, and they have no doubt about Li Donglin's identity. Just think about it, it is agreed to change the delivery from Xingqing Mansion to Suizhou, especially the old store in Fuqing in this location, it will not be wrong, outsiders don't know, and there will be no mistakes.
"Very well, where's the thing?" After the Tangut people saw the token, they asked in a deep voice, obviously they had recognized Li Donglin's identity.
Li Donglin smiled: "Naturally, I'm ready, please come with me!" ”
Walking into the room, Li Donglin quickly opened a few cages, took off the silk covering them, and said, "Look, these are beautiful jades from the Western Regions!" ”
A piece of exquisite jade was displayed in front of him, and the burly Tangut seemed to be quite proficient in these things, and nodded; "Sheep fat jade, yes, it's all good things!"
Clearly, they were satisfied. In this way, his master may also be satisfied, and the person to whom his master will give it will also be satisfied. Then everyone will be happy, and naturally their benefits will be indispensable!
"Is it just these things? Didn't you say there were rubies? Where's the thing? Obviously, there was an agreement on the content of the goods, so Xixia questioned it very carefully.
Ah Chang stood aside, looking at all the links were normal, it seemed that there seemed to be no problem with this Li Donglin, and he really served his life wholeheartedly? !
This is naturally the best, just about this ruby. What kind of moth is he going to make? What is the so-called nomination in this? Or is there something else going on? Let's see how this Li Donglin copes!
"Ruby. Of course! Li Donglin smiled: "It's just that this thing is a little ......."
"What's wrong? What's so special about it? The Tangut people suddenly became a little suspicious.
"That's right...... This ruby ......" Li Donglin suddenly gushed. Start telling the story!
Ah Chang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, can such a rough story work?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Empress Dowager Liang and Fu Meng went to Suizhou secretly, in order to prevent their whereabouts from being leaked, they just lived in an ordinary mansion, with no appearance at all, and there was no big pomp. Of course, there are strict defenses of Spirit Fox Guards inside and out. There was also a Western Xia army stationed not far from the house, but it was not deliberate, everything went naturally.
At night, Meng Meng hurried to the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Liang, and the intention was obvious.
"My lord, the Queen Mother is already asleep, and I told you not to come, please go back!" I didn't want to, but I was blocked by the maid, and I didn't let him into the room at all.
"This ......" suddenly felt a little unhappy and disappointed in her heart. Could it be that he has fallen out of favor? Or what's going on? Today is not the day of the Empress Dowager Liang's menstrual affairs? As for contraception, it is even more in place. Surely there will be no problem, how can this be? I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Liang will not be satisfied. After arriving in Suizhou, he also deliberately made supplements, but now he is useless.
Seeing this, the maid said in a low voice: "My lord, the queen mother is tired, and she will summon her lord another day!" ”
"Okay!" I didn't want to say anything more, so I had to turn around and leave.
Today, Empress Dowager Liang did go to bed early, and she didn't even call for a reckless waiter.
Meng Meng was slightly disappointed, guessing that the Queen Mother might be tired of carriages and horses, and she was worried about Liang Yi's burial, so she was not in the mood. He didn't know that Empress Dowager Liang was melancholy because of Zhen Wenxin's words! At this moment, I can't sleep alone, and I still think that I want to have "one heart, and the white head is inseparable." ”
But where is her beloved? Didn't hide the son of Pang? Li Liangzuo? Or is it just cute? Empress Dowager Liang shook her head gently, the original husband abandoned herself, the lord of the country took advantage of herself, and the reckless and deceitful is just a whole thing, where does he have any qualifications to be called a good person? How have you ever had true love? Touched by the truth?
When the ** is put aside, the Empress Dowager Liang really feels full of loneliness, which is very unpleasant! She is a woman, and naturally hopes that her soul can have a home, and she can have someone who cares about herself, but unfortunately she has nothing!
Seeing the kind of little happiness of Zhe Wenxin, Empress Dowager Liang didn't mention how envious she was. It's a pity that he won't feel like that again in this life, the dignified queen mother, how can he have a private relationship? It's really sad to mourn the family! Maybe this is the helplessness of life, with status and power, you must lose something!
Here, Empress Dowager Liang couldn't sleep alone, and she couldn't sleep even more when she was alone in the empty room, and she was still a little worried in her heart, for fear that her favor would be shaken because of this.
I don't know how that thing went? Meng Meng couldn't sleep, so he got up to find his henchman to question.
"Everything has arrived?"
"Don't worry, my lord, the quality of the best mutton fat jade is very good!"
Meng Meng nodded lightly: "That's good!" ”
The patron of those jade artifacts in Li Donglin's hands is the one who is Meng Meng, because the Empress Dowager Liang has always liked jade, and in order to do what she likes, she will find a way to search for beautiful jade from everywhere every year. Among them, there is a Xizhou caravan, which can travel back and forth to Hehuang, contact with the Western Regions, and buy the best jade.
The merchants of the Northwest Frontier don't think about so many trivial things when doing business, and they don't care which country their customers are. As long as it is not a material that is expressly prohibited by the imperial court, there is generally no problem. As a result, this caravan has been collecting jade for three consecutive years, and it was sent to Xingqing Mansion in the past.
This time, because he and the Empress Dowager Liang were in Suizhou, he thought that he could send it to Suizhou and dedicate it to the Empress Dowager Liang as soon as possible, so he said that he would change the route.
Now that the jade has been delivered, she thinks to herself that she will definitely like it if she dedicates it to Empress Dowager Liang as soon as possible. Then there is no trouble with this solid pet matter, this is his top priority.
"By the way, didn't you say there's a ruby step?" He looked at the jade offered by his henchman, looked at it carefully, and was very satisfied. In order to do what he likes, he can now be said to be a jade expert. But apparently he cares more about the most important thing in this shipment! I thought in my heart that after the Queen Mother took this step shake, it must be bright and moving, and it will be more brilliant!
"My lord, this ruby is a little special!" The confidant's words suddenly made Meng Meng a little curious and a little questionable.
"What's going on?" Meng Meng frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"That's right!" The confidant said: "The merchant said that this ruby step is a relic of Princess Gaochang and has a history of hundreds of years. It is said that the princess once said in front of the Buddha that if a beloved man is willing to bathe in the temple for a day and fast, make devout offerings, and then personally bring a step shake for the beloved woman, the woman will never abandon and obey her life for the rest of her life. ”
When I heard this, I was suddenly a little moved. He obviously bought this item to give it to the Empress Dowager Liang, in order to fix her favor. According to this theory, if you fast and make offerings and then bring them for the woman, you can ...... He doesn't believe in things like never leaving each other and loving each other deeply, and he doesn't care.
But he is obedient all his life, and these words obviously moved him. If the Queen Mother listens to herself all her life, what does she care about her pet? Don't worry about this at all. I don't have to be so low-minded, I don't have to make compromises, maybe I can even point fingers at the government...... Power is a very attractive thing to everyone.
Therefore, when he heard this, he was immediately moved, which can be said to be right in the middle.
"Really?" Meng Meng is very curious and has many doubts.
The guard said: "That's what the merchant said, and it is said to be a famous legend in the Gaochang area." Many people wanted to get this step, but unfortunately they all failed. They said that this item was originally intended to be offered to the Tibetan Zampu, and that they had tried every means to buy it back from the merchants. ”
"Really?" Tubo Zampu Dong Yu's father, Jiao Luo, grew up in the Gaochang area, and they have a lot of connections with each other, if you say so, it is really possible. Moreover, he subconsciously hopes that something will happen, so that his future status and authority can be guaranteed, so he has already believed in it.
"Yes, the merchant is very pious, and has already enshrined the treasure in the Puji Temple in the south of the city, if the adults ......" the henchmen probably understand the thoughts of the deceitful, so the order stops.
"In that case, then I'll think about it, and prepare to bathe and fast tomorrow!" This is a great attraction to the cuteness, and at the same time, he also wants to surprise the Empress Dowager Liang, so some things can only be done in private......
He has a surprise to prepare, and another surprise awaits him...... (To be continued.) )
