In winter, the last batch of colorful yarn clothes was packed and set off from Linjiang.

Although the sales of the newly developed streamer yarn clothes developed by the Zhuo family are good, the volume gradually decreases after the autumn.

These yarns are hot in spring and summer, and there are fewer people in winter.

This batch of goods arrived, and the goods arrived after the beginning of spring.

Cao Yi arranged for Zuo Huai to lead the team and go with the two small caravans.

To get to Beijing by water and then by land, about 20 days before and after.

Three convoys, three merchant ships, a total of fifty or sixty people.

The group first walked by water for ten days, and then stopped at the shore and changed carriages to move forward.

Many businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River are doing business in Beijing, this road is already very familiar to everyone, except for a few mountains and forests on the way, usually through the village and town, there is almost no danger.

The two convoys accompanying them along the way were very lazy, and the guards were pretending, and they all looked like they were picked out from the family, so Zhuo's caravan looked regular, and the personnel were powerful, like that.

The convoy arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain, and the group found an inn to prepare for accommodation.

Zuo Huai fixed the room, looked up at the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there a change here?" ”

The middle-aged man with a mustache smiled, "I just took over last month." If there is anything slow in the shop, the guest officer only mentions, and we will make timely changes to ensure that the guest officer is satisfied. ”

Zuo Huai glanced at his bookkeeping, shook his head, and asked, "Does the shopkeeper know where the shop selling rice and grain is?" ”

The convoy had to be replenished along the way, and it was normal to buy rice and noodles.

The shopkeeper raised his hand and said, "There is a grain and oil store at the corner of the street, and the guest officer can go there to have a look." ”

Zuo Huai nodded, thanked him and went back to the room.

After a while, the three guards went out and drove the carriage to the grain and oil store on the street.

At night, Zuo Huai and his entourage asked for two baskets of white flour steamed buns, two pots of sauce meat, and three jars of wine, and ate them directly in the Chase room.

The leaders of the other two caravans came and asked Zuo Huai to go to the hall to drink, but Zuo Huai didn't go, saying that he was tired and wanted to sleep more.

The two didn't think much about it, and when they returned to the room after eating, they fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, but the lights were lit up in the backyard of the inn.

More than a dozen masked black-clothed men carried big knives and slowly walked towards the guest room in front, but they were shot dead by Zuo Huai and his party lurking on the second floor in the lobby.

The movement in the hall continued for a pillar of incense, and those who were lucky enough to escape the arrow feathers were also caught by Zuo Huai and them.

After finishing his errands, Zuo Huai entered the rooms of the other two caravans, and found that those people were still sleeping like dead pigs, and it was obvious that they had been given sweat medicine during the night's meal.

The next day, when the two teams rubbed their heads and went out of the room, they found that there were many officials in the hall, so they knew that if it wasn't for Zuo Huai and his party last night, their lives would be gone.

Kyocaka.

Before leaving, Linjiang sent a letter to Jingzhong, and Ah Xiu also knew.

In the past two days, she was waiting to see the goods, but the goods did not come but she waited for the news of the bandits on the road.

Hearing that the people and goods were even, An Axiu breathed a sigh of relief, and when Zuo Huai and them arrived, he made a special trip to meet them and ask about the situation at that time.

Zuo Huai often walks that way, and he has lived in the inn a few times, and he is quite familiar with the shopkeeper, but now he is a little suspicious when he suddenly changes people, and then he inquired when he went out to buy rice noodles, and he felt that something was wrong.

It's also their luck to be able to avoid the past this time, it's hard to say if those people don't succeed and whether they will come again, and they will have to be more careful in terms of security in the future.

Zuo Huai nodded, said that he would return to Linjiang in two days, and left quickly.

Huangfu, Baoqing Street.

Huang Zhi heard that the people he invited had all broken off, and he was so angry that he dropped a tea cup.

"Master, do you want me to go ...... again?"

Looking at the somewhat arrogant steward, he waved to Huang Zhi and interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"That's the first thing to do."

has already scared the snake, and to do the same thing again is simply to send a handle to someone to catch.

Although he never comes forward for these things, he can't be sure if he will find out something for them.

"So, Zhuo's side?"

The first time I didn't do my job well, I hated it, and I just wanted to take revenge again and get back the lost field.

Huang Zhi glanced at him with slanted eyes, and his eyebrows were viciously cold.

"The embroidery workshop in Linjiang can't be moved, and I didn't get any benefits halfway, how do you say to get it?"

"Master, it's better to ......"

The steward leaned into Huang Zhi's ear and whispered a few words.

Huang Zhi nodded, "Be careful, don't show your feet." ”

"Yes."

*****

Zuo Huai only stayed here for two days, and soon took people back to Linjiang.

Ah Xiu secretly made people pay attention to the movements of those people, thinking that Lu Wei would go to the embroidery building every three days, and try to accompany her as much as possible.

In the afternoon of this day, the two returned home from the embroidery building and met Song Tian who was on duty in advance at the door.

"Brother Tian, why is it so early today?"

Ah Xiu was a little surprised, and Song Tian said: "I will go to the imperial tomb with me tomorrow." ”

I see.

The group entered the door and returned to the courtyard, and Ah Xiu began to pack his bags for Song Tian.

The triennial memorial of the imperial tomb will be held for three days and two nights.

In the evening, Chang heard that his son was going to travel, so he asked people to say that there was no need to go over to eat, and he would just say it when he left tomorrow.

Ah Xiu and Song Tian have been married for half a year, the two are naturally in love, Chang only hopes to hug his grandson as soon as possible, and now that her daughter is older, she can play on the ground by herself, and her hands are empty.

At night, because Song Tian was leaving, he naturally pestered Ah Xiu to do what Ming'er was going to do at night in advance.

The next day, the Song family and his entourage got up early in the morning, in addition to sending Song Tian to the gate of the city, and by the way, they saw the royal honor guard.

The triennial memorial of the imperial tomb is also very important to the royal family, and the previous afternoon, there was a notice from the officials along the street that the business was temporarily closed, and the honor guard could only open after leaving.

The Song family's carriage stopped on another street, and then Song Tian got out of the car and walked forward to meet the crowd.

Since he is not a military attaché, he can finally get a carriage to sit in this time.

It's just that because of the low official position, several people sit together.

Song Tian came from the Hanlin Academy, and this time he naturally sat with the people of the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy went to three people this time, two historians, and one was Song Tian.

Xie Jun didn't get a chance, he didn't come this time.

Song Tian greeted the officials he knew one by one, and accidentally saw Gao Yehua riding on a horse.

I hadn't seen this person for a long time, and Song Tian arched his hand to him from afar.

Gao Yehua returned the salute and slowly went to the column of military generals.

In the palace exam in April, Gao Yehua, who originally had great hopes, suddenly lowered his profile, although he also won the Jinshi, his ranking was not much different from Hu Ke.

It stands to reason that he should be in front.

However, although this person had an average rank, he went to the military department.

Being able to be an errand in the military department is not something that ordinary people can do, and the role of Gao Ge Lao in it is needless to say.
