Du Huo came back from the academy with a disgraced face, he went to Sima Mansion today to see Huang Liulang, and wanted to explain a few words for the box of wine vessels, but was stopped outside the door, and the next person said that Huang Liulang and several Lang Jun went to the western suburbs to ride horses for a banquet, and I am afraid that they will not be in the mansion these days.

He was stunned for a moment, he was originally Jiangning Du Jialangjun, since he learned about the Yuan, others were even more polite wherever he went, and in the past, Sima Mansion also sent him posts, but he had never been stopped outside the door like this, and he didn't even see his face.

He was depressed for a while, and on the way back, he sent someone to Deng Mansion to see Deng Dalang, but he also got a letter saying that Deng Dalang also went to the western suburbs, and even the Min family Langjun and Wen family Langjun, who were often with him on weekdays, were also invited to go to the western suburbs together, leaving him alone.

He finally panicked, could it be because of the box of wine vessels? But he just wanted to make friends with Chang Jialangjun, how did he get like this.

When he returned home, he came to Qiushiyuan with a gloomy face, and wanted to ask Xiao Rongyue how the box of wine vessels had the seal of the Xiao family, obviously he himself had seen it carefully, and it was intact without half a word.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rongyue was not in the main room, he endured his anger and asked the camellia left in the room: "Where did you lady go?" I have something to ask her. ”

Seeing that his face was ugly, Camellia was a little scared, and shrank his head timidly: "Lady, lady went to the shop." ”

It seems that he won't be able to come back for a while, and he flicked his sleeves indignantly: "She's not sick, it's not good to recuperate in the house, how can she go out all day, what will she become!" ”

However, Camellia was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, no matter what he said, he stood there with his head shrunk and silent, so that he had no interest in talking again, and got up and walked out, wanting to go to the study and think about how to make up for it.

As soon as Mu Lian saw him with Zhao Di coming to the main room, Mu Lian's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she happily stepped forward to salute: "Lang Jun is back, the maid has been thinking about Lang Jun every day for the past two days, and the new robe is also ready, Lang Jun wants to give it a try?" ”

He was not interested, but Mulian was coquettish and stupid, and he was crooked and didn't let him go, and he was also irritable, so he simply went to Baoxia with her.

The new robe didn't try it seriously, but the couch was rolled into a mess, and the delicate and weak stood up from the couch and called Mu Lian, who was sent hot water in, looked back at Du Huo, whose face was not good, and blinked: "Does Lang Jun want to see the lady?" ”

"Today, the maid went to greet the lady, and as soon as she arrived at the door of the main house, she heard the lady talking to Sanqi inside, as if talking about the caravan from the Western Regions coming from Chang'an, which originally had frequent dealings with the Xiao family's shops, saying that it was from the Luoyang waterway to Jiangning Mansion to sell Western Regions merchants."

"But I don't know what happened on the road, the ship capsized nearly half, and even the merchant goods were ruined, and now the caravan is delayed in Shanyang, and the Hu merchant is even frightened and sick, the caravan is in a mess, and even the entanglement back to Chang'an is not enough, or someone brought the news to the Xiao family's shop, and the lady only knew about it."

Mu Lian tried hard to remember what she heard through the curtain: "The lady seems to say that she wants to go to the shop to have a look, if she can want to accept the rest of the goods of the Hu merchant, she can sell them for a lot of money in Jiangning Mansion." ”

Du Huo, who was lying down, slowly sat up and looked at Mu Lian: "Do you really hear it?" What kind of goods is she going to buy? ”

Mu Lian nodded again and again: "I heard it really well, the lady also instructed Sanqi to go to the small treasury to count the money when she came back from the shop, it seems that she really wants to buy it." ”

Du Huo didn't care much about economic matters, but he also knew that Jiangning Mansion was rich and tranquil, but it was not as prosperous and convenient as Chang'an, and there were very few caravans from the Western Regions that came all the way, so these Western Regions merchants were the most rare and rare, if they could really take advantage of this cheap and sell them, they would definitely be able to make a lot of money, but it was a rare good opportunity.

He thought about it for a while and instructed Mulian: "Wait for the change of clothes and freshen up." ”

After bathing and changing, he strode towards the Spring Garden.

“…… Do you think this is true? Pei Shi was still a little hesitant and asked his son, "Have we ever dealt with the Western Regions merchants, wouldn't it be troublesome if we smashed them in our hands." ”

Du Huo frowned: "The Xiao family has a lot of contacts with those merchants, so they must know that it is not feasible. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned again, Shang Jia was already low, Hu Shang was even more barbarian, the Xiao family was really unworthy of such a person, and it was really humiliating for him to marry such a wife.

Pei Shi thought that he could make a lot of money, and he couldn't give up his heart, and suddenly remembered the matter of the Chang'an shop, and said busily: "If that Hu Shang really has something to do with the Xiao family, and he is from Chang'an, the Chang'an shop must know, if I let someone send a letter to Chang'an and ask about it." ”

Du Huo shook his head: "I'm afraid that this back and forth will not be more than a month, so where can the Hu merchants wait, I'm afraid that the Xiao family has already received that batch of commercial goods." ”

Pei Shi was deflated: "How can that be good?" You can't just believe that amount of money. ”

Du Huo originally didn't want to ask more about these things, he was a dignified gentleman, how could he care about these things, he just wanted to tell Pei Shi the news, and let her take the idea to do it, so as not to miss such a good opportunity, but Pei Shi is like this, if he doesn't open his mouth, he is afraid that the opportunity will be wasted in front of him.

He had no choice but to say in a low voice: "A-Niang doesn't have to be like this, take advantage of the fact that the Xiao family has not moved now, first send someone to Shanyang to take a look, but this is really the case, if you don't bother to spend some money to buy some and come back to see, if you can really make money, you can think of collecting more money and coming back." ”

Pei's eyes lit up for a while, but he quickly frowned: "The Xiao family's side ......"

If Xiao Rongyue accepts it, she will marry richly and have a shop, and the Du family will not be able to get it at all.

Du Huo frowned and thought for a while: "Only drag her." ”

When Xiao Rongyue came back, Yulan was already waiting outside the main room, and when she came back, she hurriedly crossed her hands and bowed: "Lady." ”

Xiao Rongyue glanced at her, saw that her face was pale, and she frowned and walked into the room: "What's wrong?" ”

Yulan lowered her head and followed in, but she stood aside but was frightened, and never spoke.

Sanqi glanced at her strangely: "The lady asked you something." ”

Yulan was as if she was startled, her body trembled, and she knelt down: "Lady spare her life." ”

Xiao Rongyue's face slowly turned cold, and she glanced at Sanqi, who hurriedly called the little maids to retreat, put the curtains, and personally guarded outside, and no one was allowed to come closer.

"Tell me, what's going on." Xiao Rongyue's tone was light, and she took a bite of the ice bowl that was still bubbling.

Yulan trembled and took out a paper bag from her sleeve and held it in front of Xiao Rongyue: "This, this is what Lang Jun instructed the maid, and instructed the maid to think of serving in the main room and put it in the lady's food......"
