Chapter 80: The Wrong Sycophant
Osmanthus finally picked out the embroidery thread and only bought two threads, but she fought with the embroidery lady who received her for a long time in order to reduce a penny.
In the end, the female shopkeeper couldn't see it, and nodded in agreement before refusing to give up.
Osmanthus was satisfied and pulled Huang Zheng out of the cloth village, and said with a snickered face: "Zheng'er, look at this line, there is light on it, and the embroidered things are beautiful, I asked several shops when I came back, but this one is the cheapest, and I finally talked about it for a penny, which is really cost-effective......
Osmanthus looked happy, I didn't know, I thought she had picked up a big gold ingot.
Huang Zheng couldn't help but be secretly funny, and the female shopkeeper finally nodded and agreed, nine times out of ten she adhered to the principle of leaving a line in everything and seeing each other in the future, because the needles she sold were good or bad, they were all unknown, and the female shopkeeper was just selling a personal favor.
I didn't expect that my face was worth a penny! Huang Zheng felt the urge to laugh.
The two walked out of Buzhuang and walked slowly towards the city gate, but when they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
Huang Zheng looked left and right and found that almost all the people who were going out of the city or entering the city were all blocked by the city defenders.
There was a carriage parked at the gate of the city, and the trunk was closed, but from the way it stood safely in front of the gate, and the flattering appearance of the soldiers, there must have been a big man sitting in it.
A small soldier said to the people: "After a while, General Huwei in Beiqiang will come to our county, rich as the sky, everyone will welcome it well for a while, and the general will give a reward, and the county lord will exempt everyone's carriage and horse money!! ”
All ox carts and horse-drawn carts entering the city will be charged for entering the city with a fee ranging from one penny to three cents.
Just welcome a general who guards the city, a few formal welcomes, when back to the "group performance", you can avoid the car and horse money, for the common people, it is tantamount to a pie in the sky of a good thing, if luck comes, maybe what Huwei general can throw down some copper plate as a reward.
Almost everyone looked out of the city, and after a long time, more than 20 fast horses flew in, galloping, and when they arrived in front of them, they seemed to have a bone of awe-inspiring cold air.
The county magistrate hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, trotted to the side of the road at the city gate, and started to shake in the direction of the horses.
The horses roared in, and as soon as the "group performance" was seen, the spirit came to the time, and they shouted in a miscellaneous manner: "General Huwei is mighty!" ”;“ Welcome to the triumph of the generals! ”......
Osmanthus shouted lively: "I wish the tiger general a prosperous officer luck and a high promotion step by step....."
Auspicious words are like no money, it can be said that "the crowd is excited", "going forward and succeeding", "overwhelming", even Huang Zheng has to admire these people who usually look at honest friends, there is such a big "potential" to be tapped.
There is a way to wear thousands of clothes, and you don't wear sycophants, this Huwei general must be happy in his heart, right?
The horse team had already rushed to the front, and although the soldiers behind them were dressed in bright armor, they were not mighty, but the leader was wearing a dark blue cloth robe, with no decoration on it, and it was very simple.
The man's thin eyebrows, obsidian eyes, and long hair were tied in a bun at the back of his head, and his bronzed hands tugged at the reins.
Obviously, this is the legendary "General Huwei", looking at his appearance, although he is a military general, he is better than a scholar.
At this time, the "scholar's" face was very unsightly, especially looking at the "excited" people, listening to the miscellaneous flattery, he frowned, and his face sank like water.
