Chapter 60: Sneak back into the pavilion
Seeing the old man, Zhou Bo immediately saluted, and he said respectfully: "Zhou Bo greets Uncle Xiahou."
The old man ignored it, his expression was still displeased, and he just said coldly: "What about the letter of the unfilial son?"
Seeing that Xiahou Ying's father did not want to see him, Zhou Bo was not angry, but just smiled bitterly, he immediately took out the animal skin letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands. "Uncle, this is the letter written by Brother Xiahou."
Uncle Xiahou took the animal skin, and he hurriedly opened it. Xiahou Ying gave a rough account of what happened to him in the letter, and then asked his father to help Zhou Bo transport supplies, but as for what it was, Xiahou Ying did not elaborate. After reading the letter, Uncle Xiahou pretended to wave his sleeves angrily and snorted, "This unfilial son went to serve the Yao service, and he lost all the face of my Xiahou family." That being said, there is no hiding concern on his face.
"If you know the name of the unfilial son, you are his friend. The old man doesn't ask you what you want to transport, for the sake of Liu Tingchang who has rescued this unfilial son, my Xiahou family is willing to help from the side. "Obviously, Uncle Xiahou knew a lot from the letters, and he was well versed in sophistication, so he didn't ask too much.
Zhou Bo smiled, and after he saluted again, he also said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiahou has a close relationship with Bo and others, please rest assured, this time, my brother will find a way to rescue Brother Xiahou." ”
"In this way, I have thanked Pavilion Chief Liu." Uncle Xiahou showed a rare smile, in fact, he was also very worried about his son in his heart, but he was more stubborn, scolding in his mouth, but he refused to show his heart.
"Plus!" Zhou Bo said in a condensed voice: "In order to thank the Xiahou family for their help, my brother Yuan also agreed that the Xiahou family would sell the pottery on his behalf. ”
When Uncle Xiahou heard this, his heart tightened, and then he couldn't hide his joy, the pottery of the Surabaya Pavilion can be said to be famous. Now the people of Dangjun are willing to buy the pottery produced in the Surabaya Pavilion, and if the Xiahou family can sell it on their behalf, the profit is unimaginable. At this time, Uncle Xiahou also became enthusiastic, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Bo, please take a seat." It's not early, I will stay at my Xiahou's house today, and the old man will let me send some wine and food, let's have a few bowls. ”
Zhou Bo looked at the sky outside the hall, he didn't squirm, he also nodded and said, "Then I will disturb Uncle Xiahou." After the matter of Qian County was dealt with, Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and he also had a rare few more bowls of wine, and was finally helped to the guest room by the servants.
The next morning, Zhou **** was very early, had breakfast at Xiahou's house, and discussed some details with Uncle Xiahou before he resigned and left. Out of Qian County, he traveled quite fast, but fortunately there were no accidents on the road, and two days later, he finally returned to Surabaya Pavilion. Seeing that Zhou Bo arrived at the pavilion, Liu Fang, who was patrolling outside, hurried over, and he asked eagerly: "Brother Zhou, why did you come back and what happened?" Could it be that Brother Yuan is in trouble? ”
Zhou Bo shook his head, he poured a few bowls of water violently, sat on the ground, and said pantingly: "Brother Yuan is fine, I will come back and Brother Yuan has something to explain." ”
"What do you have to say?" Hearing that everything was going well with Liu Yuan, Liu Fangcai breathed a sigh of relief, he poured another bowl of water for Zhou Bo, and asked with a light smile.
Zhou Bo stretched out his head to look outside the house, and when he saw that there was no one, he cautiously told him about the bronze. When Liu Fang heard this, he exclaimed: "Rice grain for bronze? ”
"Shhhh Be quiet! Zhou Bo scolded in a low voice.
Only then did Liu Fang realize that he had lost his words, he nodded, and asked softly again: "Brother Yuan is sure to trade with that Zhou market?" ”
"Well, this matter has been decided, and Brother Yuan ordered me to return to the pavilion to be responsible for the exchange." Zhou Bo looked at Liu Fang and explained.
"Okay, what Brother Yuan says, I, Liu Fang, will do it." Liu Fang replied in a condensed voice, and then said again: "Fang is going to prepare rice grain." These days, we have built two new granaries in Surabaya Pavilion, and they are all full. ”
"That's right!" Zhou Bo suddenly advised: "Brother Yuan asked you to suspend the exchange of porcelain for rice grain, if these families want porcelain, they can go to Lu Mansion, and my Surabaya Pavilion will no longer sell any porcelain privately." ”
Liu Fang didn't understand Liu Yuan's intentions, but since Zhou Bo said so, he had no choice but to do so. "Don't worry, Fang understands."
Zhou Bo bowed slightly, "I still need to go to Lu Mansion, and I will leave it to Brother Fang here." Zhou Bo was about to leave, but saw Lu Pheasant walking in anxiously, seeing this, he hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”
"Zhou Bo, how is my husband? Where are you at this time, and how are you on the road? Lu Pheasant also asked worriedly.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, Brother Yuan and the others should have entered Hanoi County, and the journey is quite smooth and there is no accident." Zhou Bo comforted, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yuan still has something to do, and Bo will tell you the details of the road one by one later." ”
"Okay, you can go first." Lu Pheasant said.
"Nabo took his leave." Zhou Bo bowed to Lu Pheasant, and then rushed to Peixian City. The news of Zhou Bo's return was not deliberately spread, after all, it was better to be cautious about this bronze matter, and he wore a hat to cover his face when he arrived in Peixian City. When he arrived at the Lu Mansion and explained his intentions, the servants quickly went to report it.
Hearing that it was Zhou Bo, Lu Taigong personally came out to greet him, he was naturally familiar with Liu Yuan's brothers, this Zhou Bo secretly returned, there must be something important, and Lu Taigong was also a good heart. "Needless to say, let's talk about it first." Seeing Zhou Bo, he said in a condensed voice.
After entering the lobby, Taigong Lu dismissed the servants, and then he frowned and asked, "Say, what is the matter with my virtuous son-in-law letting you come?" ”
"Brother Yuan asked Bo to hand over this letter to Mrs. Lu, and he said that you will know after reading it." Zhou Bo handed the letter to Mrs. Lu and said in a deep voice.
Lu Taigong opened the animal skin with a little doubt, he looked at it fixedly, his face was a little surprised, and a little happy, he took his hand to ponder, groaned, and said, "I know about this matter." ”
"That being the case, Bo returned to the Surabaya Pavilion first." Zhou Bo didn't know the content of the letter, since Taigong Lu already knew, his task was completed.
After sending Zhou Bo away, Mrs. Lu sat alone in the hall, and he muttered to himself, "These ceramics are all sold by my Lu Mansion, it seems that my virtuous son-in-law is in trouble." As for the rice grain, it doesn't matter, I'll buy it privately for him. It turned out that Liu Yuan hoped in the letter that he could use the caravan of Lu Mansion to buy grain privately in various places, so that he could avoid some ears. Obviously, Zhou Shi's analysis made Liu Yuan more cautious.
Zhou Bo returned to Surabaya Pavilion and went directly to Liu Yuan's house, and now his wife still lives in Liu's house, and the mother and son are naturally happy to cry when they see each other. Zhou Bo comforted Liu's mother again, telling her not to worry, and at the same time told her in detail about the things on the road. After Mother Liu and Lu Pheasant heard about it, they were much more relieved.
