It has been five days since Yang Yuanqing came back from Mayi County, and for five whole days, the entire Taiyuan City and even the government and the opposition have been busy with tens of millions of cattle and sheep, from top to bottom, all of them are beaming, the population of the Great Sui is only more than four million households, on average, each household can get five cattle and sheep, which is undoubtedly a generous gift for the Pingtou people.

In these five days, Yang Yuanqing was finally able to completely relax himself and rest for a few days, and after a while, the decisive battle between the Sui and Tang dynasties would kick off, and at that time, he would also devote himself to the final decisive battle.

The light in the study was bright and dark, Yang Yuanqing was half-lying on the couch with a backrest and a thick mattress, reading very leisurely, at this time he no longer thought about the battle situation in Bashu, no longer worried about the battle of Hanzhong, and would not consider the confrontation in Guannei.

He didn't want to do anything, just enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

The door opened gently, and the eldest daughter Yang Bing slowly walked in with a cup of tea, during the time when her father came back, she had to fry a cup of tea for her father every day, although she felt that her father was not very accustomed to the tea she fried, but forced him to drink it, it was also a kind of fun.

"Here comes my tea."

When Yang Yuanqing saw his daughter come in with tea, he quickly sat up straight, with a smile on his face.

Pei Minqiu said that Yang Bing is Yang Yuanqing's baby, it is not an exaggeration at all, among all Yang Yuanqing's children, his favorite is his eldest daughter.

Generally, fathers love their daughters, especially a daughter who has grown up, and he is even more distressed when he doesn't spend much time with her.

"Daddy, I paid special attention to the heat of today's fried tea, you taste it, is it different from the previous two days?"

Yang Bing put the teacup on the table, twisted his fingers, and looked at his father expectantly, his eyes clearly hoping to get his father's praise.

As long as it is his daughter's fried tea, Yang Yuanqing likes it, although he is more accustomed to the craftsmanship of Yu Damiang, who is in charge of sencha in the house, but to get his daughter's filial piety, he would rather sacrifice the taste of tea.

Yang Yuanqing picked up the teacup and sucked it slowly, it was an improvement compared to the previous two days, the slight smoke and fire was gone, and the tea taste became more pure, which was to begin to master the heat of sencha.

"Not bad! Very pure, good tea! ”

Yang Yuanqing did not hesitate to give praise to his daughter, and Yang Bing was so excited that his face turned red: "I'll fry a pot of tea for my father in the afternoon." ”

Just like someone who has just mastered a skill, she can't wait to practice, Yang Yuanqing nodded, "In another year, your sencha skills will surpass Aunt Yu." ”

"Daddy, I want to go to North City to buy something."

"Go ahead! Daddy will let you go. ”

After a pause, Yang Yuanqing found that his daughter was silent, and couldn't help but look at her strangely, seeing that she was looking at him aggrievedly.

"What's wrong?"

"Daddy, I want to ......" Yang Bing stopped when he wanted to speak.

Yang Yuanqing's mind turned, and he suddenly understood his daughter's careful thoughts, and said with a smile: "You want your father to accompany you to Beishi, right!" ”

Yang Bing nodded, "Sihua is also going, Daddy has been very busy and has no time to accompany us." ”

Yang Yuanqing felt sorry in his heart, he had almost been fighting abroad all these years, and he had no time to accompany his children at all, in a blink of an eye, the eldest daughter was twelve years old, and the second daughter was also ten years old, he really should accompany the children.

"Hmmm! I'm just free for the past two days, so I'll go out with you. ”

Yang Bing jumped up with joy: "My name is Sihua!" In the blink of an eye, she ran away without a trace.

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, only to realize that although his daughter grew very tall, she was actually still a child in her bones......

Taiyuan North City has always been the barometer of the Great Sui economy, where the materials from all over the Great Sui Dynasty are concentrated, the good trees of Yuzhang County, the rice, silk, celadon and tea in the south of the Yangtze River are transported here by water, as well as the furs of the northern grasslands, medicinal materials, etc., all kinds of goods are available in the shops of the North City.

At the time of last year's drought, Beishi also became a bit depressed, but with this year's favorable weather and the incorporation of the south into the territory of the Great Sui, trade in Beishi flourished again.

Tens of thousands of businessmen from all over the world gather here, and the streets are filled with various accents from all over the world, and you can even see Hu merchants who come from afar with a camel caravan.

At this time, an ordinary carriage drove into the gate of Beishi, due to the Sui Dynasty's continuous victory in the war against the grassland peoples, a large number of grassland materials also poured into the Sui Dynasty, such as the price of sheepskins fell several times, becoming cheap goods, beggars on the street also have one or two sheepskins, and the originally expensive horses have gradually entered thousands of households and become ordinary household transportation.

There are more and more carriages and ox carts on the street, horseback riding is no longer a status symbol, and ordinary cavalry has become the norm, so when this carriage appeared at the gate of the North City, no one paid attention to it, let alone any decoration.

However, there are still smart people who find this carriage unusual, that is, there are twenty knights around it, each of them is burly, with big shoulders and round waists, and the horses they ride are also the best horses, and with the popularity of horses, most ordinary people know a little bit of the art of horses.

War horses like these knights, with strong physique, slender limbs, shiny fur and no miscellaneous hair, these are all excellent war horses, and they can't be seen on the market at all, so what is the identity of the people in the carriage they guard? A lot of people are full of interest.

In the carriage, Yang Yuanqing sat by the right window, leaning against the wall of the car and half-squinting to rest, he opened his eyes from time to time, looked at the two baby daughters who were as happy as two little birds, and showed a knowing smile.

The two daughters crowded into the left window, looking out of the car window excitedly, whispering in a low voice, wondering what they were discussing?

"You two, what do you want to buy?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Yang Bing and Sihua glanced at each other, and almost said in unison: "I want to buy a musical instrument!" ”

"Oh-"

Yang Yuanqing let out a long 'oh' and said with a smile: "I also plan to buy you some jewelry!" ”

The eyes of the two women suddenly lit up, and they said in unison, "Buy jewelry!" ”

Girls like jewelry and jade, Yang Bing and Sihua are no exception, but Pei Minqiu is very strict, and he will buy them a piece of jewelry on their birthday every year, and the price is not too expensive.

At this time, their plan to buy musical instruments had already been thrown out of the clouds, and the two of them immediately began to think about what jewelry to buy, whether to buy hairpin ring jewelry or jewelry?

"Buying jewelry will be discovered by my mother."

Yang Sihua said in a low voice: "She will definitely say that she will keep it for us, and in the end, there will be no share for us, no jewelry." ”

Yang Bing also deeply agreed, last time her grandmother gave her a pair of precious jasper bracelets, which were taken away by her mother, saying that they were safekept, but in the end she found that the pair of bracelets appeared on Xiao Niang's wrist, and I heard that they were taken as tokens by her father.

Thinking of this, Yang Bing was angry in his heart, so he nodded, "Let's buy jewelry, press it in the box and hide it." ”

The two young ladies made up their minds, and secretly glanced at their father again, and when they saw him with a wide smile, the two of them pursed their lips and laughed together......

The carriage turned to the jewelry workshop, which is the concentration of jewelry stores in Beishi, there are Hu jewelry, there are also Han jewelry stores, there are more than 20 of them, people come and go, business is prosperous.

The three of them got out of the carriage, looked at the jewelry stores on both sides, and asked with a smile, "Which one do you want to go to?" ”

"Daddy, go this way."

The two daughters, one on each side, took Yang Yuanqing's hand and walked towards the largest Huren jewelry store.

This jewelry shop is called Kang's Jewelry, which is opened by a Kangguo Hu merchant, the store is very large, very richly decorated, served by a dozen orchids, there are no displays, there are thirty tables, if necessary, the guys in the store will put the jewelry boxes on the table for customers to choose.

As soon as they entered the store, they were greeted by a handsome orchid who greeted them in half-baked Chinese.

Yang Yuanqing looked at the store again, and always felt that the atmosphere in the store was a little familiar, at this time, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, thin and tall, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, and shouted: "Lao Kang!" ”

Hu Shang turned around suddenly, it was Yang Yuanqing's old friend Kangbas, his eyes lit up suddenly, he stepped forward quickly, and was about to kneel, but Yang Yuanqing stopped him and smiled slightly: "Don't reveal my identity." ”

Combas immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Please follow me." ”

He led Yang Yuanqing into the guest room, and the two laughed and hugged tightly, Yang Bing and Sihua realized that their father and this Hu Shang knew each other, and it seemed that the relationship was still very good.

Yang Yuanqing patted Kang Bas's shoulder and said with a smile: "I thought you went back to Kangguo." ”

Combas sighed, "My hometown is not peaceful, I can't go back for the time being, let's talk about it after the war is over!" ”

He glanced at Yang Yuanqing's two daughters again, and praised with a smile: "These should be the two county lords!" I haven't seen you for many years, but I've grown so big. ”

"Hmm!"

Yang Yuanqing nodded and said to his two daughters: "This is Uncle Kang, my father's old subordinates, and my old friends, you have to see each other." ”

Yang Bing and Sihua hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "See Uncle Kang!" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! ”

Kang Bas waved his hand again and again, and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Your Highness, the two county lords, please sit here!" ”

Yang Yuanqing took his two daughters to sit down at a small table and asked, "Lao Kang, aren't you in the wine business?" Why are you selling jewelry again? ”

Kang Bas ordered the orchid to serve tea, and then said with a smile: "The wine business is still doing, the tea business is also doing, and the jewelry has been done for three years, don't hide it from Your Highness, the wine shop in the Western Regions in the east of the city is also my asset, and I also have three camel caravans, two thousand camels, going back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains." ”

"It looks like it's really getting bigger."

Yang Yuanqing remembered the capture of Kangbas, and sighed infinitely: "It's been twenty years in a blink of an eye, and Lao Kang is almost fifty years old!" ”

"I'll be fifty next year."

Yang Yuanqing pointed to the two daughters and said with a smile: "I brought the two of them here today to buy them some jewelry, but I didn't expect the largest jewelry store to be opened by the old man, what a coincidence!" ”

"It's called fate."

Combas hurriedly turned around and instructed the chief steward, "Bring the jade treasure box in my inner room." ”

Yang Yuanqing listened to his tone, estimated that it was worth a lot, and hurriedly said: "Let me explain first, buy and sell at a fair price, I don't take advantage of you, friendship is friendship, and business belongs to business." ”

Combas smiled, people are like mountains, friendship is like the sea, how can it be fair. (To be continued)
