There are more than three miles of road from Bei'an Street, where the North Gate is located, to Dongzheng Street, where the state government is located, and Hu Xianxian always feels that the streets of Lingzhou City are too small, and at the moment he only thinks that this street is too long.

She ran all the way, and the brighter and brighter sky did not make her feel at ease, she only wished that it would get dark longer and that the gates would open later.

Finally, I arrived at the gate of the state government. She didn't have time to catch her breath when she beat the shouting drum at the entrance of the yamen, and the sound of the drum of "dong dong dong" woke up the yamen.

"Knock what?" The old servant slowly moved out while putting on his clothes.

"Quick, quick...... Don't be busy opening the city gate", Hu Xianxian was almost fainting, she forced herself to finish, "There are kidnappers who want to escape from the north gate." “

The old servant hurriedly got dressed, "You wait, I'll go find the horse to catch the head immediately." “

When Ma Zhutou rubbed her sleepy eyes, she finally gasped. Ma Zhutou didn't wait for her to speak, and then said angrily: "Who did you tie up?" Your son? How much ransom is it for? “

She said casually: "Tie up Pan Zongqiang, he is not my son." I'm not married yet. They didn't say they wanted a ransom either. “

Ma Zhutou said "hehe" twice, "It's not your son, what are you reporting the case?" Didn't ask for a ransom, and said it was a kidnapper? “

Hu Xianxian didn't know how he followed the horse to catch the head and started gossiping, and he was so anxious that he slapped himself, "North Gate, you want to go out of the North Gate!" It's a jewel merchant who has been kidnapped, so please seal the city gates! “

Ma Zhutou still looked at her anxiously, "You quarreled with us for a good dream, and we didn't do anything, right?" Why are you so scared to beat yourself? “

Hu Xianxian was furious, "If you delay any longer, you will be an accomplice of the kidnappers!" “

Ma Zhutou stared at the round eyes and roared: "You tell me again!" Lao Tzu sued you for slandering officials and contempt for the king's law. “

The old servant waved his hand lightly to Hu Xianxian, who was about to go crazy, "Ma Zhutou, what she said is that Pan Zongqiang was tied up." Do you remember? Master Pan of the Yunsheng jewelry store in Taixing City. Think about it, how dare I wake you up about the trivial things of ordinary people? “

Ma Zhutou thought for a while, "Master Pan, who runs the largest jewelry store in Taixing City, has a gold mine, and has just got a jade mine soon?" “

The old servant clapped his hands, "Isn't it?" How many more Pan masters can there be? “

Ma Zhutou pointed at Hu Xianxian, "You didn't say it earlier!" I can't save Master Pan, but I blame you! As he ran into the yamen, he said, "Old Zhu, take him to Master Guo to leave a record." “

When Hu Xianxian finished talking to Master Guo about the cause and effect, it was already time to come out of the yamen.

When she was about to go back to the inn, she saw Ma Zhutou riding a fast horse and running towards the north gate, she was puzzled in her heart, and asked Lao Zhu, who was dozing off, "I just came to report the case, it's been too soon, why did Ma Zhutou go out?" “

Lao Zhu shook his head and smiled and said, "Ma Zhutou has to find Yang Dianwei, and Yang Dianwei has to ask the prefect Che for instructions." Lord Che also learned that the deputy commander of the Xiang army who would defend the city. With the reply of Deputy Commander Mi, the city gate defenders can block the city gate. “

Hu Xianxian was chilled when he heard this, he thought that he would be able to buy more time for Cheng Haofeng when he came earlier, but the result was that he was busy in vain. The city gate was opened at the right time, and those people had already left the city at this moment, what else did they block?

She was tired and depressed and walked back, and she had to walk two miles to Nanzheng Street, and from Nanzheng Street to Hongbin Building, which is located in the middle of Nantong Street, she got another mile. She couldn't walk, so she found a staircase to sit down and rest. She sat there for an unknown amount of time, and it was only after someone called her that she came back to her senses.

"Immortals? Why are you sitting here? Your Hongbin Building is lively at this time, and you are very busy, why are you running here to hide and relax? The person who spoke was a lean middle-aged woman.

Hu Xianxian tore at her wrinkled clothes before she agreed: "Sister Huifen, something happened in my store last night, and I went to the yamen to report the case." What good things did you carry so early on the left and right buckets? “

The woman laughed and said, "What good?" Your good stuff in Hongbin Building! This is the wine sold by the merchants of the Heavenly Kingdom, and people all over the city rush to buy it. I was still familiar with you to buy these six catties of wine. Go back quickly, the two fat are all busy and crazy. I've got to get back quickly, there's still people waiting to drink at my smoked duck stand. “

Hu Xianxian sneered, "Wine with smoked duck?" “

The woman was a little annoyed when she heard her laugh, "What are you laughing at?" Erfat said that this wine is eaten with smoked duck, which is a way to eat longevity and prolonging life. “

Hu Xianxian smiled again and again, "It's good, it's good." I said who came up with such a tasteful way to eat, it turned out to be two fat, it seems that I really didn't invite the wrong person. “

When the woman heard her say that this way of eating was tasteful, she happily twisted her waist and swung her hips and walked away.

Hu Xianxian felt that after laughing for a while, his mood was much more relaxed, and his footwork became brisk.

Whenever she was sleepy, tired, and hungry, she thought of those people eating smoked duck with wine: taking a sip of smoked duck meat wrapped in the aroma of smoke, but not woody, and full of oil but not greasy, and wiping the oily mouth with her cuff. Then he lifted Erlang's legs to fully taste the meaty aroma, and then picked up the red and purple wine in the stoneware bowl, and took a sip of the wine—in an instant, the mellow wine aroma with fresh and fruity aroma blended into the smoky incense and oil aroma......

Thinking about it like this, she felt funny and hungry, so she insisted on walking to the door of Hongbin Building.

Seeing her enter the house, Sanhua greeted her with a smile, "Miss, you're back." We sold a lot of wine today, and you see how many people haven't bought the wine and are making reservations with Master Mai. “

Hu Xianxian looked at the people gathered around Metaha and sat on the chair, "Pour me a cup of tea, I'm almost exhausted." Hey, what about the second fat? “

was asking Er Fat, and Er Fat walked out with Manatha.

When the second fat saw Hu Xianxian, he said, "Miss, come to the backyard, we will be able to make money." “

Hu Xianxian didn't want to move, so he leaned on the chair and said, "What's the matter?" Right here I said, I'm going to break my leg. “

The second fat looked at the left and right cautiously, but Manasha laughed at him, and said while laughing: "It's only three hundred taels of silver, what are you doing so carefully?" I've never seen a lot of money. “

The second fat blushed, "I haven't seen so much money, what insight do I have as a shopkeeper?" “

Hu Xianxian was confused, "What three hundred taels of silver?" “

Sanhua handed the tea to Hu Xianxian and said happily, "Miss, I'll tell you." You drink tea first, don't worry. Last night, after Cheng Daochang conjured up wine for everyone to taste, they all said it was good. This spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and this morning, all the people in the city came to buy wine. All the wine brought by Young Master Mai was sold out, and he gave us one-tenth of the commission, and Miss Mai just paid the money to Er Fat. “

Hu Xianxian glanced at Er Fat, and Er Fat whispered in his ear: "The money is placed at the third uncle, and he is waiting for you to get it in the room." “

Hu Xianxian pulled away his scattered hair, walked to Maitaha, who had written the order and was resting with tea, and bent his knees to make a blessing salute.

"Young Master Mai, it's your light. I, Hu Xianxian, thank you Young Master Mai, I have been inconsiderate before, please forgive Young Master Mai. “

Metaha smiled proudly, "Miss Hu, I didn't eat and drink for nothing and live in vain, right?" “

Hu Xianxian's face froze, but he still kept smiling and said, "I have no eyesight and no knowledge, I hope that Young Master Mai and Miss Mai will forgive me." “

What else did Mataha want to say, Manasha snorted coldly at his brother, "Is it interesting for you to taunt her like this?" It's not a wine that can't be sold. “

Metaha's upturned mustache was even more angry, "What wine can't be sold?" It's these hillbillies who don't know the goods! “

Hu Xianxian's face was no longer stiff, and her smile became natural, and she looked at the brother and sister with a smile.

Seeing her brother yelling at her, Manasha argued even louder, "Father asked you to familiarize yourself with the way of business, and you took it upon yourself to say that merchants should not walk empty, but must bring wine to sell. My father said that people here have little contact with foreign things, and they won't accept the taste of wine, but you don't listen. Didn't you sell a single barrel in Wanzhou? If it weren't for Cheng Daochang giving you the idea and getting them to accept the taste of wine, would you be able to sell it out? “

Speaking of Cheng Haofeng, Hu Xianxian became anxious: "What about Cheng Fengfeng?" Didn't he come back? “

Erfat asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go out together?" What do you ask us? Master Pan's entourage poured back one, the other two went to report to the official, and the other three went back to Taixing City to report the news. The one who came back, he also said that he didn't see the ...... of the process."

Hu Xianxian waved his hand to interrupt Er Fat's words, "Go and help me find a car, I'm going out of the city." “

The second fat was still stunned, and Hu Xianxian said again: "Cheng Haofeng chased the kidnappers, but the arresters couldn't help." This Cheng Haofeng is not familiar with the life here, he must get lost, I will go to him. “

The second fat said as he walked, "What are you looking for?" I've only heard of immortals guiding the way, but I've never heard of immortals getting lost. “

Hu Xianxian was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "It doesn't matter if he is an immortal or not, I can't let him get lost." “
