Because he was accompanying Han Qingwen back to his parents' home, it was not appropriate to talk about too much business, so after listening to Han Deyi's analysis of the prospects of his trip to Youzhou, Wang Kunjun changed the topic and began to chat with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. During this period, Mrs. Han asked Wang Kunjun how many people they had come this time, and they planned to stay in Youzhou City for a few days, and whether they had found a good place to live.

Wang Kunjun said that he came a total of 12 people this time, and he had already booked a room in Gaosheng Inn, and it was estimated that he would stay for four or five days, and he would not return to Liangxiang until he negotiated the glass business with Feng Cheng.

Hearing Wang Kunjun say that they had already booked a room at the inn, Mrs. Han was a little disappointed. Mrs. Han's expression was seen by Wang Kunjun, and he knew that Mrs. Han was disappointed because they and his group chose to stay in the inn. Because, in this way, Mrs. Han's plan to let Han Qingwen live in the Han Mansion for a few days may be in vain. Therefore, Wang Kunjun hurriedly added another sentence and said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, although the son-in-law has already booked a room at the inn, but considering that Qingwen may not be used to living, and the son-in-law may have to walk around outside for business matters these days, and he can't take care of her very much, so the son-in-law discussed with Qingwen and decided to let her live in her mother's house these days, hoping that her father-in-law and mother-in-law can agree." ”

Wang Kunjun's request was in Mrs. Han's arms, and although Han Deyi didn't say it, he was still very happy in his heart. So, Han Qingwen stayed in her home without any suspense.

That night, Han Deyi held a banquet in the mansion and entertained his son-in-law and his entourage. After eating, Wang Kunjun took Wang Feng and others to bid farewell to the Han couple and returned to the Gaosheng Inn.

The next day, Wang Kunjun and the others got up early, cleaned up, asked the shopkeeper to understand the location of the left-behind mansion, and then took the heavy gifts and glass samples out of the Gaosheng Inn, and went straight to Xiao Siwen's mansion.

Of course, Wang Kunjun and the others didn't go to the left-behind mansion this time to find Xiao Siwen - even if they wanted to see it, they probably wouldn't be able to see it - they went to find the left-behind mansion housekeeper Feng Cheng.

The left-behind mansion is in the southeast of Youzhou City, covering a large area. When the carriage in which Wang Kunjun and the others were riding was still a long distance away from the gate of the mansion, a patrolling soldier had already stepped forward to block their way and ask them about their destination. At this time, Fan Wucheng immediately got out of the carriage, and while explaining to the leader of the patrol soldiers that his group was here to talk about business with Feng Cheng, the housekeeper of the left-behind mansion, he secretly stuffed a string of copper coins into the hands of the leading general.

When the general heard that the other party was here to find Steward Feng, and then checked the copper coins in his hand, his original serious expression quickly relaxed, and said; "I also have some friendship with Steward Feng, and since you are a friend of Steward Feng, you are naturally a friend of So-and-so, so why be so polite. However, a few people who wanted to find Steward Feng couldn't find it here. ”

Fan Wucheng asked, "Why is this, isn't Steward Feng serving in the Left-behind Mansion?" Where can I find Steward Feng in the next place, I hope this general will give me some advice. ”

The general waved his hand and said, "You have misunderstood the meaning of a certain family." A certain family does not mean that Steward Feng is not in the left-behind mansion, a certain family means that it is not possible to go directly to the left-behind mansion to find Steward Feng like Er. It is said that Steward Feng often goes out of the house on errands, and you may not be able to find him. Even if he is in the mansion, the generals guarding the gate of the mansion will not go inside for you to spread the word. You must know that this is a left-behind mansion, although Steward Feng is a celebrity who stays behind by the adults, and the generals guarding the door have no reason to pass it on to him. If you want to find Steward Feng, you can only wait until the evening to go to his house to find him, and maybe you can have a chance to see him. ”

Fan Wucheng was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Go to his house?" What's the matter, doesn't Steward Feng live in the left-behind mansion? ”

The general nodded and said, "Yes, although Steward Feng is the housekeeper of the left-behind mansion, because he has to take care of the business of the left-behind lords, for the sake of convenience, he usually lives in his own house outside the mansion, and only when he is in office, he goes to the left-behind lords to listen to it." ”

After listening to the general's explanation, Fan Wucheng finally figured out what was going on. He hurriedly took out a string of money from his sleeve and stuffed it into the general's hand, and asked, "Thank you for the general's guidance, I wonder if the general can tell him where the house of Steward Feng is?" ”

The general said that he was not polite, and told Fan Wucheng the address of Feng Cheng's private house, but at the same time he put the copper coin into his arms.

After inquiring about Feng Cheng's residence, Fan Wucheng said goodbye to the patrolling general and led everyone to leave the left side of the mansion. After walking some distance, Fan Wucheng stopped the convoy and then came to the carriage in which Wang Kunjun was riding, and asked him what he planned to do next.

Wang Kunjun heard the conversation between Fan Wucheng and the military general just now, and knew that this Feng Da Butler was a busy man, and he could only follow the law of his behavior if he wanted to see him. Now they have no other way but to wait until after dinner to go to Feng Cheng's mansion to look for him. ,

However, it was only morning, and it was still far from dinner time. If you go back to the inn, you can only sit idle all day, and you will die of boredom. Therefore, Wang Kunjun did not ask everyone to go back to the inn immediately, but called the personal soldier who was familiar with Youzhou City, and asked him what interesting places to go in Youzhou City, so that he could kill everyone's time.

The soldier thought about it and recommended a few suitable places to play. Wang Kunjun chose two places outside Youzhou City, which he hadn't been to when he came to Youzhou City last time, and the soldiers took everyone out of the city to play.

Wang Kunjun and his entourage are still very high, this game is several hours, during which they also had a lunch outside, until the end of the afternoon near the end of Shen Shi, they re-entered Youzhou City.

At this time, everyone's mood is very relaxed. Huang Hai, Wu Peng, and the three personal soldiers rode on their horses, walking slowly and unhurriedly, while talking about the two scenery they had just played. The other two soldiers in charge of driving the car also participated in their discussion in the Yellow Sea while driving the car.

And in the two carriages, the rest of the people were also talking about their own topics. Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei, who were sitting in the first carriage, talked about how to start business negotiations after meeting Feng Cheng in the evening. Wang Kunjun and Wang Feng, who were sitting in the second carriage, were talking about whether they should go to Han Deyi's mansion to say goodbye after returning to the inn for a while. Just when Wang Kunjun decided to go to Hanfu for dinner again in the evening, suddenly there was a loud "clang" sound from outside the carriage, and the car also stopped, and then the sound of Huang Hai and Wu Peng scolding was heard. From the accusations of the two of them, it can be heard that other carriages were unruly and collided with the carriage in front of Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei.

As soon as he heard that his carriage had been hit, Wang Feng immediately sat up, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and planned to get out of the car to reason with the other party. Wang Kunjun hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and advised: "This is Youzhou, not a good township, don't act recklessly." You go out and tell the twelfth and thirty-one, as long as the tenth and the fourteenth are fine, don't hold each other accountable too much. ”

Wang Feng nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood, and then got out of the carriage with a cat's waist. At this time, outside the carriage, Huang Hai, Wu Peng, and three pro-soldiers on horseback had already surrounded the other party's vehicle and driver, and were arguing with the other party's principal. Wang Feng came to the side of the Yellow Sea and asked that the other party was a caravan from the north, and the handlebar style of one of the cars was not operated properly when the two sides were on the wrong car, causing the carriages of the two sides to scrape. However, because the speed of both sides was not fast, there were no injuries on his side, except for a few pieces of paint rubbed off the side wall of the carriage. However, the goods on the other party's car did not seem to be very strong, and several bags fell during the collision. One of the packets also fell apart, and the guys in the car were busy repacking it.

Hearing that the people on his side were not injured, Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He conveyed to Huang Hai and Wu Peng Wang Kunjun's instructions not to make a big deal out of the matter, and then returned to the carriage to report to Wang Kunjun.

Knowing that he was not injured, Wang Kunjun was also down-to-earth. However, when he heard Wang Feng's report that the other party's goods were knocked apart, he was still a little uneasy, afraid that the other party would find trouble with his own family. So he got up and got out of the carriage and stood beside the driving soldier, intending to see what the goods that the other party had scattered on the ground were worthless.

As a result, it was okay that he didn't look at it, and when he saw it, he was immediately attracted by the things scattered on the ground. I saw that next to the carriage where the other party was hit, two people, an old man and a young man, were squatting on the ground, carefully putting the goods scattered on the ground into a new pocket. And the things they hold are golden in color, flat rectangular in shape like teeth, one end is slightly pointed, and the other end is semicircle, which is clearly the most common crop in the previous life - corn.

But Wang Kunjun remembers clearly, Zhang Weixin once told him that corn is a plant native to Central America, and it was not discovered by Columbus until the end of the 15th century, and spread all over Shijie by the Spaniards, and it began to be planted in a large area in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It's the 10th century, and this kind of thing shouldn't be here anyway.

Wang Kunjun thought he was wrong at first, but he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and found that he was not wrong. Then, he pointed to the corn kernels on the ground and asked Wang Feng beside him, "Xiaofeng, what do you see scattered on the ground?" ”

Wang Feng was obviously very surprised that his cousin Weishenme asked this question, and he asked puzzledly: "Brother, what's wrong with you, it's only been more than a year, and you don't know this thing." Isn't this old corn, well, to put it more appropriately, this is old corn kernels. ”

After listening to Wang Feng's answer, Wang Kunjun finally made sure that he was not mistaken, and he said: "You kid, don't look at me with such eyes, as if I have amnesia." Of course I could tell it was corn, and the reason I asked you was just that I didn't believe that we were so lucky. Because as far as I know, this thing shouldn't be here at all now, it should not have been introduced to China until five hundred years later. ”

Wang Feng understood now, he turned his head and stared at the two people who were collecting corn kernels for a long time, and then asked, "Brother, do you mean that in this caravan, there may be traversers?" ”

Wang Kunjun nodded and said, "That's right, there are likely to be traversers in the other party's caravan. Or, there are traversers who have come into contact with them and sold these old corn kernels to them. Whatever the case may be, however, we must investigate this caravan in detail. ”
