When Xu Yuanzuo said goodbye and went home, he had actually thought of a way to subsidize Zheng Yue. If you throw it out in a hurry, not only will you not be able to appear to be a genius, but it will make people feel worthless. Waiting for Mr. Zheng to have another headache, Xu Yuanzuo handed over the antidote, so that the effect could be demonstrated.

Because Xu Jie, Xu Fan, father and son, are still visiting Gusu and Zhejiang, there is no need for Xu Yuanzuo to go back to Xu's mansion more often, and disturb Xu Yuanchun for his hard work.

Although the scholars of this era give people the illusion of spending time and drinking everywhere, they still have to spend most of their time in the study, memorizing and composing, and there are no weekends at all, which is much more painful than that of later generations of students.

So the news of getting the head of the case first came back to Zhu Li's home, and it immediately set off a big wave in Zhu Li.

According to the usual practice, as long as there is no major accident in the county case, it is natural for him to go to school.

After many years of silence, the small place of Zhuli is finally going to have another student.

Xu's mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and called a neighbor to chase Xu He overnight, wanting to inform him of the news that her son had been killed as soon as possible.

In previous years, Xu He had to go to the county town to sell cloth, and he hired people to pull goods from the Yahang warehouse. Sometimes the goods are not fully stocked, and they have to be delayed for several days. This time, because of Xu Yuanzuo's relationship, the goods were directly sent to Zhuli Town, which saved Xu He a lot of trouble, and I felt that this trip could have a good omen.

Lu Dingyuan naturally enjoyed this kind of treatment for the first time, and he flattered Xu He a lot along the way. He originally wanted to sell all the commercial goods in Suzhou and Nanjing, and with the large amount of purchases this time, the profits were quite considerable.

But Xu He is used to running to Xi'an, and he doesn't consider this lazy plan at all. And Xu Yuanzuo didn't know what to think, but he also hoped to maintain the trade route of Xi'an.

This made Lu Dingyuan a little unhappy, but this time he basically made a trip. There is no capital out, so there is not much to say.

After two and a half months, the sky is getting better and better. Later on the 16th, when it was not yet completely dark, Xu He and Lu Dingyuan crossed the lake and arrived at Shangtao Town.

The two have not yet disembarked. From a distance, I saw that a three-zhang high dragon gate was built on the wharf at some point, and a huge horizontal plaque was erected. A row of words is written on the plaque from right to left, which is: "Three hundred and fifty steps ahead, there is an inn, the government reports, and the old pavilion praises." ”

"Brother Yuan Zuo is talking about this 'inn'." A teenager came out of the cabin, dressed well, but a little too thick, and obviously hadn't been out of the house.

This person is the little man in the accounting room arranged by Xu Yuanzuo for Xu He. Xiao An.

Speaking of which, Xu He and Lu Dingyuan are both people who are familiar with Xiao An, thinking that Zhu Li is so big, and with the relationship between Master Lu, he is definitely not an outsider. It's just that Xu He regarded Xiao An as the eyes and ears sent by his son to monitor him, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he faced each other coldly.

Lu Dingyuan wanted to show goodwill, but Xiao An didn't react at all. I don't use hot faces to stick to people's cold buttocks.

Coming out of Zhu Li, Xiao An said the first sentence.

"Just stay here. I don't want silver. Xu He said: "It's just that someone has to keep vigil tonight, and I don't dare to sleep in the store." ”

Xiao An felt a little strange: this shop was opened by Yuan Zuo's brother, why did his father distrust it?

Lu Dingyuan asked directly: "Isn't this an inn run by Brother Shi?" Why be so careful. ”

"Hmph, what does he know?" Xu He said coldly: "Seeing people open inns and sit on the ground to collect money, I want to open one myself." How do you know that making a living in this world is not easy to do. ”

Xiao An has a social disability and has a hard time understanding Xu He's subtext. There is no interface.

Xu He had no choice but to say bluntly: "Xiao An is responsible for keeping vigil and watching the goods." ”

Xiao An didn't expect that this was Xu He who rectified him because of Xu Yuanzuo, but said, "Okay." ”

Xu He was like a punch in the cotton, not only did he not feel the slightest refreshment, but he also added anger, so he did not speak with a gloomy face.

The boat docked at the dock. Lu Dingyuan consciously looked for someone to move the goods, while Xu He stood with his hands in his hands, as if he was enjoying the comfort of having someone to serve him. In the past, he was the only one who did the whole thing.

Xiao An carefully counted the number of goods, his expression was focused, and he was not too cumbersome at all.

The driver who drove the car also knew that there was a newly opened inn in the business, so without saying much, he pulled people over with the goods. It's just a mile away, and when it was time to unload the goods, Xiao An counted the number of goods again, and seemed to be enjoying it.

Xu He jumped out of the car, looked up and saw a two-story building, with two shop signs horizontally and vertically, both of which read "Youjia Inn", which could be seen clearly from any angle.

If you look at the open door, you can see the neatly arranged tables and chairs inside, as well as the front desk lined up horizontally facing the door.

On the wall behind the front desk is a wooden frame with two sliding planks embedded in the wooden frame.

The former piece is "unitary", the back piece is "three", and there is a fixed word "time" in the middle, which together is the unitary time and three quarters. On the side of this hour, there is a slightly smaller trapboard with "February 16th of the year of Bingyin", as well as the appropriateness and taboo of the day.

Without waiting for Xu He to walk to the door, the person who ran the hall had already greeted him and bowed down: "Guest officer, welcome." He added: "Please inside, but do you have a small amount of luggage?" ”

Xu He already regarded Xiao An as a miscellaneous and long-term follower, and he didn't care about running the hall. He stepped through the door, only to see that the hall had two buildings, larger than it looked from the outside. At both ends of the lobby, there were five or seven sets of wooden tables and chairs, and there were a few businessman-like figures sitting here and there, but they were just drinking tea and talking, and there was no food.

- Hmph, business is really bleak! Not even a place to eat!

Xu He said secretly in his heart and walked to the front desk.

There was a young man standing behind the front desk, who seemed to have a good face, as if he had seen it somewhere. He kept smiling as if he were entertaining an acquaintance.

"Hello sir." The young man waited for Xu He to approach and bowed: "The little Chen Yizhi is the shopkeeper of this store." If you have any orders in the store, just call the small ones. ”

"Do you recognize me?" Xu He was a little surprised.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "I haven't had the honor to learn about Mr. Zun yet. But since Mr. has entered this door, we are destined. ”

Xu He laughed dryly, and the original sense of rejection in his heart also decreased a lot.

Chen Yi pointed directly to the water sign on the countertop, which showed the price of each room and the number of rooms remaining. He said, "Is the head of the gentleman back?" After that, he introduced the configuration and advantages of each class of rooms to Xu He.

When Xu He looked at the price, he couldn't help but be speechless, and said secretly in his heart: I just said that kid doesn't know how to operate! How can an inn charge such a high price? So who still lives here? If I am asked to pay my own money, I will not be able to die!

He took out a piece of paper: "This is from your big treasurer for me." He didn't know Xu Yuanzuo's title in the industry, and he only said that the big shopkeeper would probably not be wrong.

Chen Yizhi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: The big shopkeeper never cares about things, why don't you say in advance that there are guests coming? He took the letter with both hands, unfolded it, and smiled brighter: "It turned out to be the manager's distinguished guest, and he was lazy and lazy." He put the letter away and said with a smile: "Please go upstairs here, the guest room is ready for you." (To be continued......)
