Section 36 Heavy reward
Zhao Gongzi's actions looked stupid and funny, but no one present laughed, everyone looked at the angry Pei Mingcui in awe, and looked at Xiao Buyi who was drinking in awe.
They unanimously agreed that this Pei Mingcui had already taken a fancy to Xiao Buyi.
But it's no wonder that although Xiao Buyi is a cloth dress, the young man is not bad at all, although Pei Mingcui is the eldest lady, but after all, men dare not approach.
When you meet a man who is not afraid of death, of course he will be moved, and Xiao Buyi has climbed up to Pei Valve, even if Buyi can ascend to the sky in one step, it is also appropriate to make some sacrifices.
Although Zhao Gongzi is considered a local person, he is very unlucky and provokes Xiao Buyi, and Pei Mingcui is forgivable for his sweetheart.
But there is one most important obstacle here, the gate valve of the Shi clan has never married with Buyi, even if Pei Mingcui loves Xiao Buyi, I am afraid that she will not be able to break this rule, it seems that the remaining task is to donate an official position for Xiao Buyi.
When everyone was thinking nonsense, Pei Mingcui sat down, slapped her face, and said lightly: "Don't let a dog sweep everyone's interest, drink." ”
She picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and everyone could only raise the wine glass one after another and drink the bottom of the glass to the sky, for fear of being one step behind.
Xiao Buyi saw Pei Mingcui's moodiness, suddenly calm, and in an instant, he didn't think it was terrible, he just felt funny, and when he saw her looking at herself, he picked up his wine glass and toasted with her.
He suddenly found that he had no feeling for alcohol, which made him somewhat unaccustomed to it. In fact, he found this problem for a long time, and in the past few months, the more he drank, the more he felt that the alcohol had no touch on him, and when he was in the cottage, he even secretly poured two jars of wine, and his stomach was about to blow up, but he was very sober.
Could this be the aftermath of the crossing? Xiao Buyi could only smile bitterly.
"Brother Xiao, do you know who is here today?" Pei Mingcui went down with a glass of wine, her face remained unchanged, but her eyes were dark and shiny.
Xiao Buyi found again that although Pei Mingcui was bold, but if you look closely, she is a woman with very characteristics, and it can even be said that she is very good.
She is now dressed as a man, so people can't look charming, but if she wears women's clothes, maybe it's not bad? Xiao Buyi forbade himself to think about it any further.
"How do I know?" Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "These must be Miss Pei's friends?" ”
Pei Mingcui waved her hand, "I only have one friend here, Brother Xiao." ”
Everyone drank, Xiao Buyi was stunned, and she couldn't understand why Pei Mingcui thought so highly of herself, was it just because she helped her race a horse and won back face?
"These were originally the merchants of the Tianmao caravan." Pei Mingcui suddenly laughed, "The Tianmao caravan suddenly announced that it would not be out of the fortress this year, which overwhelmed them, so they all found Pei Valve." ”
Xiao Buyi was stunned, and when he saw that everyone present was full of embarrassment, he couldn't help but laugh.
He remembered that this time it was not as simple as horse racing, the bet of horse racing had already involved the struggle between the two major forces, Tianmao did not go out of the jam, these merchants were mercenary, and they couldn't let the goods rot in their hands, so they could only come to the Pei family caravan.
"Originally, the merchants of Tianmao, the Pei family caravan would never accept it," Pei Mingcui said loudly: "But this time Brother Xiao pleaded for you, saying that it is not easy for you, you might as well let you go, I will give you a chance." ”
The businessmen below all nodded again and again, and gratitude was written on their faces, "Thank you Miss Pei, thank you Xiao Gongzi." ”
Xiao Buyi could only drink, hold back his laughter, and accept the thanks that flew out of thin air.
"Brother Xiao just arrived at the Pei family caravan, and he did great things for the Pei family caravan, do you think such a person should be rewarded?" Pei Mingcui asked again.
"Of course, of course." The merchants below all nodded their heads again and again, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat unnatural.
"You are right, brothers are brothers, but this reward is still to be given." Pei Mingcui laughed and said, "Someone." ”
A subordinate stepped forward quickly, holding two ingots of gold, shining brightly.
"These forty taels of gold are the Pei family's reward for Brother Xiao." Pei Mingcui looked at Xiao Buyi with a smile on her face, with a sincere face, "Brother Xiao, don't shirk it, otherwise you will look down on me Pei Mingcui." ”
The crowd shook and was stunned.
At that time, gold and silver were not the currency in circulation, but they have always been precious, a thousand taels of gold can support an army of hundreds of people for two or three years, when Wang Rengong was the general, the battle of Liaodong, the armies were defeated, only Wang Rengong broke the enemy behind the palace, and the holy dragon Yan was happy, which was only a reward of ten good horses, and a hundred taels of gold.
Everyone knows the generosity of the saints, which shows the preciousness of gold.
Now Pei Mingcui, as soon as he makes a move, he is forty taels of gold, which can no longer be described as a heavy reward.
Everyone was a little chattering, Xiao Buyi just took it casually, put it on the case, and said, "Then Xiao is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." ”
His expression did not move, as if what he had in his hand was not forty taels of gold, but only two pennies.
Everyone was a little puzzled and despised him, and they couldn't understand why a cloth cloth could be so loved by Pei Valve, but seeing that he behaved calmly and didn't move his money, he felt that this kid was a bit of a doorway.
Pei Mingcui laughed, looking indescribably comfortable, "I just like Brother Xiao's cheerfulness, come, I'll introduce you to a few people." ”
She got up and grabbed Xiao Buyi's hand, and walked to the front of the first few cases, and those people all got up with smiles.
"This is the God of Wealth of Jiangnan Wangjia Cloth Village, this is the Lin shopkeeper of Yuzhang Lin's rice shop, but this one is Mr. Xu, who is from Yanzhou, and his business is all over the country."
Xiao Buyi glanced at them one by one and found that Wang Caishen was really similar to the God of Wealth in the New Year's painting, the year of the Mandate of Heaven. Shopkeeper Lin is not confused by his age, he is very fat, his eyes are not much different from rice grains, it is estimated that he has done too much business, and because he has seen too many rice grains, he rubbed his hands and was very nervous. Mr. Xu is a young man, with a kind expression and calm demeanor, when he saw Xiao Buyi looking over, he smiled and arched his hand, "It is a great honor to meet Xiao Gongzi." ”
This Mr. Xu's demeanor is the most calm and calm, and Xiao Buyi also clasps his fists and salutes, "I dare not be ashamed of the title of the son, and I am under Xiao Buyi." ”
He talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, Mr. Xu is polite, and he is also symmetrical, but fortunately, it is not difficult.
Mr. Xu was somewhat surprised when he heard Xiao Buyi's humility, glanced at Xiao Buyi again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi is good-looking, and with the help of nobles, the future must be limitless." ”
He was tactful, invisibly held Xiao Buyi, and slapped Pei Mingcui's ass. Xiao Buyi secretly said in his heart, people are different, the person who can be introduced by Pei Mingcui is by no means idle, Mr. Xu is thoughtful, and he must also be a powerful character.
Pei Mingcui frowned, "Brother Xiao has his own backbone, why do you need others to help." Besides, he has always been helping me, and Mr. Xu's words are wrong. ”
When Mr. Xu heard Pei Mingcui's words, he didn't say much, and changed the topic, "Miss Pei, I heard that Miss Mengdie is also here?" ”
Pei Mingcui didn't delve into it, and laughed again, "No wonder, I think Wang Caishen and Shopkeeper Lin are here, or because of the reason for going out of the plug, Mr. Xu is very feasible in the Central Plains, and he doesn't need to ask Pei Valve for help, but he came here today, but he originally wanted to see Mengdie." ”
Mr. Xu was not embarrassed, and smiled slightly, "Miss Pei said half and half." ”
"Oh?" Pei Mingcui raised her eyebrows and squinted: "Mr. Xu came to Mayi to see Mengdie is half of the reason, I wonder if Pei Mingcui can ask the other half of the reason?" ”;
