Chapter 67: Sycophancy
Uncle Huang, who specializes in pulling people and sports cars, has already left at this time, and Xia Shan took the sixty yuan given by Xia and went to Zhou Carpenter's house to borrow an ox cart.
Xia Shan's argument is that the big snake that entered his sister's house last night was half killed by Xia Li with an arrow, and was bitten to death by a big dog, some of which were big, and he wanted to sell them for some money in the county restaurant.
The village knew that the Xia family had entered the big snake at night, but they didn't expect that Xia Li's girl looked delicate and weak, and she could shoot arrows so well.
Carpenter Zhou praised Xia Li a few words, and politely accepted sixty yuan, and asked his son Zhou Qingdong to drive Xia Li. When Xia Shan brought the horse over, Xia Li had already packed up and put a small package on the ox cart, and the sack containing the snake was also carried by Zhou Qingdong into the car.
Zhou Qingdong said enviously, "Obediently, this big snake weighs more than fifty catties, and the price is good, and it may not be possible to sell it for ten taels of silver." ”
This is the first time that Xia Shi has been separated from Xia Li, and he can't stop whispering to Xia Li and Xia Shan with red eyes. Xia Ju and Dangdang were also reluctant to give up their sister, so they sent them to the entrance of the village with tears in their eyes, watching the ox cart gradually move away.
Xia Li smiled and beckoned to him (it), and the short separation also made her reluctant.
The ox cart went directly to the door of Yixiang Restaurant, Xia Li got out of the car and said goodbye to Zhou Dongqing. Said they didn't have to wait for them, they were going to go shopping and then go back.
When Shopkeeper He saw the python in the sack, he was really surprised and delighted. laughed and said, "The golden python looks like this, and I have opened my eyes." He added, "I'll personally accompany you to Hanjiang Mansion to find Wu Dahu." Not only to help you, but I also want to buy some snake meat from Wu Dahu. It is said that the meat of the golden pan python is delicious, and I want to buy some for my old lady to try. ”
Of course, it would be better for him to accompany him to the provincial capital.
Xia Shan also smiled, "My general and cousin also went to the provincial capital. I also bought some meat for them to taste, and my general liked it the most. ”
Shopkeeper He wanted to say that every time Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi went to the provincial capital, they lived in Zengfu, and their own master ate it, and Lord Ye and Liu Gongzi also ate it. But thinking that he knows how to please his master, he can't stop others from patting the chief's ass.
He laughed and hurriedly asked Xiao Er to prepare the carriage. Now is the beginning of the season, set off immediately, hurry up, and get to the provincial capital when you get down.
Xia Li sat in the carriage, Shopkeeper He and the coachman sat outside the carriage, Xia Shan rode a horse, and a cart and a horse ran towards the provincial capital.
Xia Li was a little excited, and after coming to another world for half a year, he finally walked out of Tongning County and ran to the provincial capital.
On the way, I listened to the shopkeeper He said that Ye Feng and Liu Changzhao were both from famous families in the capital, Ye Feng was still a prince before, and because of his disobedience to Yi's decree last year, he was demoted by the emperor to the ravine here. Liu Changzhao is his father's eldest son, and if nothing happens, he should also be the son of the world in the future......
Xia Li often saw princes and princes in online articles in his previous life, even if he traveled to ancient times, he felt that a small peasant girl like him was far, far away from them, and there would be no intersection in this life. Unexpectedly, I accidentally stole a dog and collided with the previous life and the future life.
He asked again, "Why did Lord Ye disobey what Yi's will?" ”
Shopkeeper He couldn't explain the reason in detail, and said with a smile, "I'm far away, and I only know so much." ”
At the end of the afternoon, the carriage arrived at a small town, and several people went to a small restaurant for a meal. It is not the man who rests to eat, but the horse who rests and eats forage.
Xia Shan didn't rob the shopkeeper He for the meal, and he paid for it.
After resting for half an hour, he continued to march.
At the second moment of Shen Zheng, the carriage finally arrived at the provincial capital Hanjiang Mansion.
Xia Li lifted the curtain and saw the high city wall, with flags on the city wall and soldiers standing. The slanting sun is fiery and intense, illuminating the city wall even more magnificent and majestic.
Entering the city, the road is wide, the shops are lined up, there are many color buildings, the shouting is endless, and it is much more prosperous and lively than Tongning County.
Xia Li sighed again that he was wearing it in a good place. Not to mention the Yamato border, where there are occasional wars, but inside and outside the Huaxiang Mountain, which is 300 miles away from here, how many people suffer from banditry.
Xia Shan came to the provincial capital for the second time, and he also looked around.
The carriage walked for about three quarters of an hour and came to a three-story building with a plaque that read "Baolai Firm".
Xia Li also knows that "Baolai Commercial Bank" has a wide range of business and many shops, involving a variety of industries such as wine making, wine selling, cloth villages, pawnshops, etc., and there are several branches in Tongning County.
Several people got out of the car and dismounted, and the coachman entered the trading house, and came out again after a while, and said with a smile, "Master Wu is inside." ”
As soon as they entered the door, they saw a chubby middle-aged man in brown brocade greet them. He hugged his fists to the shopkeeper He and smiled, "It's the shopkeeper He, it's unwelcome, unwelcome." ”
Shopkeeper He also returned the salute with his fists and said with a smile, "Master Wu, this Xia Junye and Xia Xiaomei have a gold-plated python......
Wu Dahu's little eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Is it really a golden python?" ”
Xia Shan smiled, "We don't dare to pit Master Mengwu yet." So saying, he put the sack on the ground and opened it.
Wu Dahu leaned over and took a closer look, and said with a smile, "This is the Jinpan Python?" It's the first time I've seen it, and it's really big. I haven't heard back from the news for months, and I thought there was no hope. Please, please, talk in the house. ”
He also asked people to go to the middle hall to invite Dr. Fang, who was treating his mother's illness.
The interior of the house is exquisitely furnished, a few people sit down, and the girl has tea.
Wu Dahu saw the arrow hole on the python's body, and kept giving Xia Shan a thumbs up, and boasted, "The military master is good at archery, and the future is immeasurable." ”
In the morning, Shopkeeper He also said the same thing. Xia Shan is not good at telling outsiders that this is Xia Li's shot, and he laughs and acquiesces. I thought in my heart, how good it would be if I really had this ability, I had a future and everything, and I was respected by the world.
And Xia Li secretly thought in a low-key manner, if it weren't for the situation, she wouldn't want to show off her unique skills, and she didn't want to be a "magic archer".
Shopkeeper He smiled again, "Master He also knows that my master likes food. It is said that the meat of the golden plate python is delicious, and I want to buy two catties and go back to my lord to try it. ”
Xia Shan also hurriedly said, "My general is Lord Ye, and I also want to buy two catties of meat for my general to try." ”
Shopkeeper He hurriedly introduced, "Lord Ye is the master of Xiangshan Mansion. ”
Lord Zeng Lin is a big official that Wu Dahu has always wanted to tie up, where is there no reason to be. Although he didn't know Lord Dusi of Xiangshan Mansion, he didn't want to offend, many acquaintances and multiple roads.
Wu Dahu smiled at Shopkeeper He first, "Shopkeeper He is polite, you don't need to buy it, I should serve it." He smiled at Xia Shan again, "Master Jun is polite, it's easy to say, I should serve it." ”
Shopkeeper He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My lord has always loved the people like a son, and he does not take advantage of the people. If I dare to ask for other people's things for nothing, my lord will not let me go. ”
Of course, Xia Shan also expressed that his general is a good official who loves the people like a son, and he can't ask for things from the people in vain, and he will buy them with silver.
