Chapter 108: How Much Is It Worth?

"What does Master mean?" Han Xiuqi was a little puzzled.

Huo Tiandu sighed: "Old man Tianchi, he is not a Hu person, he is a Han person. He used to be a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and after the fall of the previous dynasty, he fled to the area of Changbai Mountain in the northeast. Later, after his martial arts were accomplished, he was called the old man of Tianchi. ”

"Last year's defeat in the Northern Desert must have alarmed him! Not to mention the martial arts of this man, it is said that he is also very strategic. If Hu Ren had his help, the situation this winter would have been delicate. Huo Tiandu was a little worried.

"You're worried that there will be a big war this winter?" Han Xiuqi asked in a deep voice.

Huo Tiandu nodded, "I can't rule out that this will happen!" Once the war starts, how many people will be ruined! He sighed.

"Then we have to prepare in advance!" Han Xiuqi thought in his heart, "I have to talk to General Zhou when I go back." ”。

"So! What I hope most is that your good daughter-in-law can turn her vision into reality and solve this eternal problem once and for all. Huo Tiandu sighed deeply.

"Originally, I would have been skeptical of her claims. But when I returned to the capital, I saw the amazing flow of visitors to her flowers. Also, behind her is the Lu family, a sea merchant in Lu'an Mansion. It can be said that as long as this wool can be woven into cloth, she alone can support a trade route. ”。

"Don't say much, even if it is produced in the territory of the two kings of Qiancheng and Tiehua, she will be able to wrap it up."

"Okay, when she comes to see the loom, I'll arrange for her to go back to the capital!" Han Xiuqi nodded.

"That's what I mean!" Huo Tiandu said.

Back in the small courtyard, Hibiscus and Zhang Qingwan were still shocked. Lu Yishuang said: "Okay, okay, we're back, don't worry!" ”。

Zhang Qingwan burst into tears, "I really didn't expect to meet this kind of person outside!" ”。

Lu Yishuang said heartily: Didn't you already meet it when you came!

But when the words came to his lips, he said: "So, this place is actually very dangerous!" Miss Huo, didn't you tell her about the siege here a few days ago! ”。

Huo Xiang shook his head.

"Siege?" Zhang Qingwan raised her head in surprise, "The enemy has all hit here?" ”。

"Of course!" Mu Hibiscus said on the side: "We won't let it out." I heard that tens of thousands of horses came, and it was black. At that time, there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and the form was very serious. ”。

"It's good that there are walls!" Hibiscus followed.

Walls? Zhang Qingwan looked at the low earthen city wall at the end of the street. It's no more than two feet high, made of rammed earth, and it looks tattered, can it stop the Hu people?

This city wall, not to mention compared with the capital, is an ordinary city city, which is much stronger than it.

Zhang Qingwan immediately regretted it!

I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come! She was filled with remorse. At the beginning, she was able to come to the border city to find her cousin alone, but now let her go back, she doesn't have the courage.

looked at Zhao Wu, but his eyes always seemed to fall on Lu Yishuang.

There's no way this man could send her back!

What to do! What to do?

Just as he was hesitating, Han Xiuqi strode back. Her eyes lit up and she was about to catch up.

Han Xiuqi bypassed her and walked towards Lu Yishuang. "Mr. Big wants to see you!".

"Oh!" Lu Yishuang nodded, and followed him out.

Zhang Qingwan hurriedly shouted: "Cousin, I have something to tell you!" ”。

"Let's talk about it when we come back!" Han Xiuqi said as he walked out the door.

"What's so urgent?" Lu Yishuang asked puzzled.

"Mr. Big is looking for you, it's a wool thing!" Han Xiuqi said with a smile.

"Yes! Then check it out! Lu Yishuang became interested.

Hurried to the general's mansion, Huo Tiandu waited in front of the steps with a smile. "The county lord is frightened today!".

"It's good that he's here!" Lu Yishuang was indeed a little frightened today. However, Han Xiuqi's martial arts also opened her eyes.

If she hadn't known that she was old, it would be too late to practice martial arts now, and she really wanted to have a beautiful chivalrous dream.

Huo Tiandu glanced at the apprentice with satisfaction.

"The county lord will come and see if this wool is suitable now?" Huo Tiandu invited Lu Yishuang to come and see.

Lu Yishuang looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, it's okay!" Let Master Xu get started now! ”。

Xu gave Lu Yishuang a courtesy and began to spin thread.

Watching the wool coarse strips pulled out of the self-spinning workshop, turned into thin threads wrapped around the spindles, and soon became a heavy lump.

Xu changed and continued to weave.

Lu Yishuang looked at the woolen thread she spun, if she wanted to spin the cloth, it was actually thicker.

Huo Tiandu asked with hope, "How is it?" ”。

Seeing that Lu Yishuang was silent, his heart gradually sank.

Seeing the old gentleman's face change from full of excitement to silence, Lu Yishuang was also a little unbearable. She was about to say that the thread was too thick to weave. Suddenly, there was an idea, and the thick wire has the use of the thick line!

"This thread is still thick, and weaving cloth is not good!" Lu Yishuang said directly.

Huo Tiandu sighed, "I also know that things are not so simple!" ”。

Xu Shi stopped and looked at the two of them in fear.

Lu Yishuang suddenly giggled.

Han Xiuqi hurriedly pulled her and asked her to restrain herself.

Lu Yishuang smiled and said to Huo Tiandu: "Actually, you can't spin cloth, it doesn't matter!" I also have a use! ”。

Huo Tiandu immediately felt that the entire sky was lit up. Hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”。

Lu Yishuang sold it and said to Xu: "Please trouble Master Xu to spin these threads again and spin them into such a thick thread." ”。

She looked left and right, and there was nothing suitable to make a gesture with. Stretched out his hand and plucked the golden hairpin from his head and stuffed it into Xu's hand. "It's probably just that thick!".

Xu Shi looked at it and said with a smile: "Yes!" How much do you need for the county lord? ”。

"Let's spin ten pounds first! I'll make a sample, enough is enough! Lu Yishuang didn't take the golden hairpin handed over by Xu.

"I've got you! Master Xu has come all the way, and I don't have anything to give, so I'll give it to Master Xu as a meeting gift! Lu Yishuang pressed the golden hairpin back into her hand.

With tears in his eyes, Xu put away the golden hairpin. Immediately before the spinning wheel, start spinning.

The two little girls next to her helped sort out the wool, and looked at Xu's golden hairpin with some hot eyes.

Lu Yishuang took off the gold bracelet on her wrist, and one of them loosened one of them. "Do your best, and when you succeed, there will be other rewards."

"Thank you, county lord!" The two hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Farewell to Huo Tiandu, the two went home. Looking at Lu Yishuang's bare hair, Han Xiuqi sighed.

"You're generous!" Han Xiuqi said: "I remember that you used to give a meeting gift to Cousin Qingwan, but it wasn't so generous. ”。

"What? Ready to find my account? Lu Yishuang said with a smile: "What I like is a thousand taels of gold." I don't like it, I also think it's redundant with a straw. Who told you that kissing cousin I don't like it! ”。

"And what if it's me?" Han Xiuqi smiled and said, "If I need it, how much money are you going to pay?" ”。

"I want to think about it!" Lu Yishuang tilted her head and said playfully.

"How much?" Han Xiuqi asked with a smile.
