After leaving Chang'an, Tang Xiu's heart also settled.

After shouting "no turning back", he directly turned the handlebar and left the original road and detoured to another road to Taiyuan.

In this regard, Li Siwen has a lot of criticism in his heart, you are not a new daughter-in-law who has just come out of the cabinet, where is the taboo of not going back? What a vexatious mess!

This detour will take at least five more days, Tang Xiu doesn't care if he is a loser, anyway, there is time, but the time of these officials who eat imperial food is very precious, okay? If you go back late, the emperor will blame him, who can afford to be guilty?

But there is no way to be in a hurry, Tang Xiu is the leader in this matter, Tang Xiu insists on taking a detour, and they can only follow behind. Otherwise, even if they arrived in Taiyuan in advance, without Tang Xiu's approval, it is estimated that they would not be able to buy the 10,000 catties of watermelons they needed.

As a result, after taking a long detour according to Tang Xiu's intentions, something happened that made Li Siwen even mad and even gritted his teeth.

Every time the carriage passed through a more prosperous town, Tang Xiu would take his family to wander around the city, eat some local snacks, and buy some local specialties.

Along the way, I don't know where they came from, the caravan came from, every time I pass through some remote villages and towns, there will be a lot of people around them to buy or exchange a little thing to go back, every time in order to send these boring villagers away, Li Siwen and his two subordinates shouted so loudly that their throats were smoking, and they all began to be a little hoarse.

What's even more infuriating is that after such a thing happened a few times, Pei Cai'er saw that those villagers were pitiful, and Tang Xiu, in order to smile at Bo Hongyan, actually started bartering with these people, and every time he stopped, he didn't even think about moving the place again for two or three hours.

I can't live this day!

"Boss, what is the origin of this master? Can he be more reliable in doing things? According to his way of walking, we are afraid that we will not be able to catch up with Taiyuan next year, right? ”

Li Siwen's subordinates also began to complain, and after inquiring from Tang Lu and learning that Tang Xiu was just an ordinary landlord in Taiyuan, he even had the idea of teaching Tang Xiu a lesson by force to make Tang Xiu stop for a while.

As a result, as soon as these subordinates spoke out, they directly scared Li Siwen into a cold sweat, and without saying a word, they directly kicked the two of them honestly.

If Tang Xiu is such a good lesson, will you be able to tolerate him until now? Look at the two of them, as well as the two little followers, two beginners of dark energy, and one peak of bright energy, Nima just wants to find death and don't trust Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu still wants to live for two more years.

Now that he heard the complaints of his subordinates, Li Siwen's face sank, and he said sharply: "Where is so much nonsense, don't care who he is, anyway, we can't afford to mess with this person, let him go how he wants, anyway, this time out, our task is to escort them to Taiyuan safely, don't care about anything else!" ”

Compared with Li Siwen's irritability, Yu Chi Dabao and Yu Chi Xiaobao, who were following Tang Xiu's buttocks, seemed to be in much better spirits.

In the past few days, I have followed Tang Xiu to the mountains and rivers, delicious food, drink and fun, which is far more interesting than staying in Chang'an City before.

"Cousin Tang Xiu is really a good person!"

These are the words that the two Wei Chi brothers have often talked about in the past few days, and the relationship between them and Tang Xiu has also begun to heat up sharply, and the level of trust in Tang Xiu has also begun to increase day by day. Sometimes Tang Xiu's words were even more effective than Wei Chi Shanshan's words.

In this regard, Wei Chi Shanshan was somewhat surprised, but after being told by Tang Xiu that this was a preliminary preparation for healing her two brothers, the little girl's mood began to improve instantly, not only did she no longer feel unbalanced in her heart, but she even kept saying good things to Tang Xiu in front of the two brothers, helping Tang Xiu speed up the process of getting acquainted with and getting close to Dabao Xiaobao.

In this way, it would have taken only five days to return to Taiyuan, but after Tang Xiu's detour and such and such delays, the group walked for half a month before they could reach the boundary of Taiyuan County.

When they walked to Pingyao County, which was not far from Taiyuan City, in Pingyao County, Tang Xiu and the others saw something that should not have appeared - watermelon.

At the beginning, Tang Xiu and the others saw that almost all the people in Pingyao County were surging in the same direction, and they thought that something was wrong, so they followed the flow of people with curiosity, but as a result, what they saw after arriving at the destination surprised all of them.

Watermelon, it turned out to be a watermelon!

Could it be that there are people here in Pingyao who can grow watermelons?

In the center of the county, thousands of catties of watermelons are stacked together, the smallest ones have a weight of about ten catties, and the largest ones even have thirty catties.

"Folks, do you see, do you see, this is a watermelon! This is the imperial watermelon that only today's emperor can eat! "Next to the watermelon stand. A short and fat vendor was loudly introducing his goods: "Sitting in the past, it was a rare one!" Ordinary people don't even eat it, but it's rare to see it! ”

"But it's different now!" The trader pointed in the direction of Taiyuan and said loudly: "In our neighboring Taiyuan City, there are 100 acres of nearly 100,000 catties of watermelons for sale, and the price is also quite cheap, as long as 100 yuan a catty, a watermelon is not even enough for the usual money!" Come to think of it, you only need consistent money to eat tribute that only the emperor can usually eat, this is simply a pie-in-the-sky business! ”

"Because there are not many watermelons, just Taiyuan is in short supply, my old Wang this time is also begging grandpa to tell grandma to trust countless favors and relationships from Taiyuan to come back from Taiyuan these 3,000 catties, miss this village will not have this store, everyone wants to buy it in a hurry, and then a little later can not eat it!"

After speaking, there are a lot of onlookers, but there are not many guests who really pay for it, the short and fat vendor is ruthless, pick out the smallest watermelon from the watermelon pile and split it directly, and then cut the watermelon into a number of small pieces, looking at the first few people: "The guests in front can taste the taste of this watermelon first, if it is not delicious or do not like it, you can turn around and leave, you don't have to leave a little face for my old king!" ”

"However, if the taste is really good, Lao Wang also hopes that a few people can say a few fair words for Lao Wang, lest someone will say that I am boasting and being ashamed ......."

As soon as they heard that they could eat it for nothing, the people in front rushed forward, and after a while, they wiped out the watermelons cut by Lao Wang, and then, after a silence, some people who ate these watermelons finally began to break out.

"Get me one!"

"Get me two!"

"I want five!"

"I want ten, don't rob me!"

No one commented on how the watermelon tasted, but seeing that they were so scrambling to buy it, you don't need to ask to know that Lao Wang's previous words were not just boasting.

For a moment, all the people began to get agitated.

There is no shortage of rich people everywhere, although there is always a lot of money, but if you can eat tribute that only the emperor can eat with the consistent money, these people really don't care.

When everyone was rushing to buy watermelons, Tang Xiu retreated from the crowd with people.

Facing Li Siwen's slightly questioning gaze, Tang Xiu smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Don't blame Brother Siwen, it may be that the younger brother has miscalculated, but I didn't expect the watermelon in the field to ripen a few days in advance." However, the price that Lao Wang sold was not the original price in Taiyuan, and when I set the price for the housekeeper at home, the maximum was only 50 wen a catty. We are all friends, and I will give you the price I originally agreed. ”

"Tang Gongzi is serious," Li Siwen glanced back at the hot scene when those people behind him bought watermelons, and said worriedly: "It's easy to say the price or anything, but the question that Li is most concerned about now is, can Tang Gongzi still get the 10,000 catties of watermelons that my son-in-law wants?" ”

Just looking at the scene of Pingyao selling watermelons, it is not difficult for Li Siwen to imagine how popular the watermelons in the Tang Mansion are, if all the watermelons in the Tang Mansion are sold out when they arrive in Taiyuan, then he will really want to cry without tears.

"Brother Siwen can rest assured of this." Tang Xiu assured: "It is impossible for all the watermelons in the field to be ripe at the same time, 10,000 catties of watermelons sounds like a lot, but in fact, there are only three or four hundred, and it won't take one night to go back, and the younger brother will be able to prepare them for Brother Siwen!" ”

Encountering such an accident, Tang Xiu was naturally embarrassed to play around, and after the group got into the carriage, they directly whipped their horses and hurried from Pingyao to Taiyuan City in less than half a day.
