Chapter 9 It's Fan Yu, not Song Yu
Even if it is a small dwelling in Jiangdu, it shows the solemnity of the people of the Central Plains, the house is dignified and square, because of the development of handicrafts and commerce, the roofs of some rich and noble families have been tiled, but most of the houses are still built with walls and thatched roofs.
Zai Fuming was in charge of transporting baskets of fresh vegetables to the ox cart, and Cai'er sneaked out under the nose of the armor and found the jade candy shop on the corridor of the outer street.
Before entering the store, I smelled the sweet fragrance and the warm sweet taste, which made people have a great appetite, and Cai'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
The guys in the shop didn't pay attention to her when they saw that she was a thin little slave. The main thing the store sells is caramel sugar, which is a saccharified food made by fermenting wheat, barley, millet and maize, that is, maltose, in addition to selling some foods made of caramel sugar, osmanthus sugar, jasmine sugar, sugar cakes, sugar tablets...... The shelves are dazzling, and the food is not enough to eat at this time, not to mention the use of sugar to make food, so the price is not cheap, and the customers who generally come are either powerful or businessmen.
The guy didn't pay attention to Cai'er, so Cai'er took the initiative to talk: "Big brother, I want to change the sugar." ”
The guy glanced at her, her thin and thin body, how could there be a place to bulge up and hold valuable things.
"Stay where it's cool." The guy said impatiently.
"It's cool anywhere." It's not cool everywhere this winter.
The guy simply didn't look at her, turned around and set up the shelves, and waited for her to leave.
"Look at this headband, it can be exchanged for a lot of sugar." Cai'er took out the headband and showed it to him.
The guy turned his head and looked at an ordinary hairband woven from grass, and realized that the girl had a brain problem, "Let's go, go out." ”
The guy came out from behind the counter and forced Cai'er out: "Let's go, don't hinder me from opening a store and doing business." ”
Cai'er was pushed and almost turned upside down, so she began to make a fuss: "Sister Yu said that you can exchange a hairband for a lot of sugar." She didn't believe that Song Yu would lie to her, she finally came out, and failed so quickly.
"I don't care what Sister Ping is for you, Sister Wu, you don't have a long head, the straw rope is worth a few dollars, and you want to exchange for sugar." The guy finally pushed Cai'er out and breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect the little girl to look light and fluttering, and her strength was quite big.
"Sister Yu, you lied to me! They won't change. Cai'er cried sadly.
The shopkeeper heard the sound outside and came out to look, and accidentally saw the familiar Su Mangcao headband in Cai'er's hand, and called out to Cai'er: "Girl, where did you get the headband in your hand?" ”
The guy was stunned, and the shopkeeper was actually interested in the headband.
"Can you lend me a look?"
Cai'er nodded.
The shopkeeper has white hair and white beard, his eyes are blazing, he picked up the hairband and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it for a while, the shopkeeper frowned: "Where did this headband come from?" ”
"My sister gave it to me, and she said that you have business dealings with her family, and you can use a hairband to exchange candy for food."
"Sister Yu?" The shopkeeper pondered for a moment: "Where is she now?" ”
"In Zhengqing's Mansion."
The shopkeeper's brows furrowed even deeper, and he covered his forehead in distress: "She, how is she doing?" ”
"Sister Yu is doing well, and her son-in-law will take her back to the princess's mansion in the future."
The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this......
"Now, you can give me candy." Cai'er stopped crying and said expectantly.
The shopkeeper said, "How much do you want?" ”
Cai'er thought about it, and the sugar should be distributed to her sister, Brother Ming, and Sister Ling...... If you want too much and can't take it with you, "Take three packets of candy." ”
The shopkeeper instructed the guy: "What are you still stunned about, hurry up and give it to her." ”
The young man didn't know why, and he was annoyed that the shopkeeper would agree if he was confused, so he should say yes and go get the candy chips.
The shopkeeper went to the back room, and after a while, he took another hairband woven with Su Mang grass Cai'er: "Girl, I know your sister well, since you brought her objects to exchange for sugar, according to the etiquette, I will naturally give you sugar, but I won't accept the hairband, and when you see her, you will say that the shopkeeper will return the hairband to you." ”
This headband looks the same as before, but in fact the braiding method is very different, and it is difficult for normal people to distinguish it.
Cai'er wondered, she got the candy and returned the headband, which means that she didn't change it, and she gave the sugar for nothing, isn't this a big bargain.
Cai'er was satisfied and got the sugar slices and rushed back immediately.
The guy asked the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, the small one doesn't understand, how much is a straw hairband worth?" She said that she could have as much sugar as she wanted, but fortunately there were only three packs, otherwise our store would have lost a lot of money. ”
The shopkeeper said perfunctorily: "The sister she said is from a powerful family, and there will be no good fruit to eat after offending her, do you say that life is important or money is important." ”
The guy quickly shut up.
The shopkeeper entered the back room and hurriedly said to the bookkeeper: "Ruixuan, Miss Fan may be in Zhengqing's mansion." ”
Rui Xuan is a handsome and well-mannered man, but he looks pale, very weak, and dressed like a scholar, in fact, he is Langzhong of Chu State, the attendant of the prince of Chu State. The shopkeeper is Xianyin of Chu State, surnamed Jing, who is in charge of advice, and they are all secret agents of Chu State.
"How do you know the whereabouts of Miss Fan, she ran away without permission, and the prince is looking for her everywhere."
"Just now, a little house slave exchanged sugar for this headband." Jing Xianyin handed the headband to Rui Xuan.
Rui Xuan took the headband and looked at it carefully.
The seemingly ordinary hairband, in the way of knotting rope to remember, one word and one knot, Chu people have their own weaving password, and only their own people can understand the content of weaving. The hairband recorded that Yu Biao would go to the right warehouse today to transport weapons for the attack on Qin.
"The information on this hairband may have been told to us by her, I didn't receive an order from Chu to send another spy to the Jin State, and the house slave who sent me the hairband said Sister Yu, I think it's Miss Fan." Jing Xian Yin said.
Song Yu's real name is Fan Yu, and she is the princess of Fan Guo. Fan State, is a Ji surname vassal state, marquis, for the feudal food for Fan land, so called Fan, although with the same surname as Zhou Tianzi, is the descendant of Yu Zhong, the son of King Tai of Zhou, but after Fan Hou Zhongpi rebelled against the king of Zhou, was captured back to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty Haojing, Fan was given another old Central Plains vassal state Jin State, Fan people were not satisfied, when the Spring and Autumn Jin Dynasty Wen Gong surrounded Fan Di, Fan State perished, the last generation of Fan Hou Fan Qingzi fled, whereabouts unknown...... And Fan Yu is the daughter of Fan Qingziqi.
Rui Xuan looked at the headband, and until now, he could only try to use this headband to find clues.
"Hurry up and send someone to report the news to the prince, and immediately send someone to rob the weapons of the Emperor, if there are a large number of weapons, it is really good news for Kejin." Rui Xuan said.
"I have already ordered someone to expedite the news to the prince, I gave the house slave another hairband, which said that tonight when the ugly girl Fan to the back door of the Zhengqing Mansion, we will take her back, neither the king nor the prince wants her to take risks, first take her back to the Chu State so that the king can rest assured."
"It's a bit difficult to take her back."
