Chapter 38: Which Erlang (4)
Today's first update.
----------------------
All from above?
Mo Zizheng was very interested in that place. Although Luozhou is the richest state in the Great Zhou, and there are many Shangdu people coming and going in Luozhou City, there are not many opportunities to eat next to the Shangdu people, especially when she wants to inquire about the news. So, his eyes looked outside, but his ears were straight, and he wanted to hear if there was any gossip about the king's mansion.
"You'll know when you go." Obviously, you can talk about a mountain at length, but who knows that Brother Erlang will end it in eight words.
Mo Zi stared, but unfortunately no one could see it.
"How do I get there? My mother won't let me. Miss Eleven said angrily.
"It's not that I won't let you, my mother is worried that you are still young." Every time Miss Six speaks, she must be just right, and she seems to be very gentle and skillful.
"I'm almost thirteen years old, still young? The eldest sister got married at the age of sixteen. Miss Eleven continued to puff up.
"I said Eleventh Sister, you haven't reached the age of thirteen yet, and you want to get married? Let's not talk about age, at least you have to wait for the three sisters above you to get married, and then you can get your turn. So if you want to go to Shangdu, the sixth sister will go first. When she helps you find a good brother-in-law, when the time comes, you can live as long as you want. "The grinning man seems to be the eldest of the four siblings.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, my mother hasn't decided yet. And this is a private matter at home, don't take it out to talk about it. Miss Six's tone was a little embarrassed.
"Afraid of what? The sixth sister is stunning, even if she is the first beauty in Luozhou, she deserves it. thought that the brother looked at it, only the son of the queen of Shangdu, Fang and the sixth sister. The third prince still has to pull people to cheer, "Erlang, do you see?" ”
Jiro was silent.
There may be expressions, but Mo Zi can't see clearly.
"Third brother!" Miss Six was really angry now, "If you continue to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation, I will go back and tell my mother." ”
Mo Zi didn't care about Miss Six's conservatism, but when she heard the statement that she was the first beauty in Luozhou, she had a lot of objections in her heart. Before, she looked carefully, although the sixth lady looked good, she was far from Qiu Sanniang, at most she was a dignified lady, with a conservative and boring personality. This may also be because she has an unusual master, and she has an unusual relationship, and her vision is different from that of the public.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. I praise you, but I don't want to. The third prince smiled as usual.
As soon as the door opened, the two white-clothed men just now brought the food up.
"Does the fighting in the north have an impact on Luoju?" It was Joong-an's voice.
"Not before. However, it has not been peaceful in Pan County recently. "Not only are there twice as many sergeants guarding the city as usual, but they are also stricter than before, not only to inspect the customs records, but also to interrogate and inspect the goods, and if there is a slight mistake, they will not let people go out or let people in." I later heard that it was the spies who were afraid of Daqiu who had infiltrated our Great Zhou through Nande. ”
"It's not just that we are afraid of any changes, from Panxian across the Sichuan River to the territory of Nande, the defenders are also very strict. I saw with my own eyes that several carts of iron were not allowed to enter, because they were suspected of being supplied. In the past, there was no disc, so I paid some silver taels and let the merchant pass. Nowadays, the discs are necessary, and there must be a guarantor in South Germany, which is simply annoying. When the third prince said the back, he was a little louder, "Father is considering whether he should take back the business in Nande so that it will not be affected by the war." ”
"You don't have to worry too much. Nande and Da Zhou have always been good friends, but now it is just to prevent big ambitions. And even if Daqiu can swallow the projectile of the small country Yuling, he will definitely not dare to offend my Da Zhou. "It's still Zhong'an who speaks.
"Of course, my Great Zhou has a vast territory, strong soldiers and strong horses, and can fight well on land and water, and I am still afraid of the barbarians in the north?" The third son has many shortcomings, and the pride of being a Da Zhou person can be regarded as an advantage.
"Although Yuling is a small country, there are rapid rivers and natural dangers on three sides of the country. How to make Daqiu break the country, the reason is still unknown. This made both Da Zhou and Nande nervous, because our border and Yuling are connected by a river, and Da Qiu can lead a large army into Yuling, maybe we will soon have a battle with our navy. As expected, the waterways in Los Angeles may not be as smooth as before. "An unfamiliar voice, rough and loud.
Mo Zi knew that he should be the other person behind Najiro.
"Brother Hua is right. In addition to our Qixian Gorge here, to the river of Qinduling, the naval armies of the two countries have recently lined up frequently in formations, and they do not allow civilian ships to pass through at all, for fear of blending into the ships of Daqiu. The waterways are impassable, the land route is difficult, and the prices of special products of the two countries have risen several times. Hateful disc restrictions, you can't take the opportunity to make a lot of money. The third prince sighed.
Suddenly, a low chuckle came into Mo Zi's ears. I don't know who it is, as if mocking someone's philistine. But through the screen, the closest person to her was the Erlang.
"So, if you enter South Germany by water, it is completely impossible?" Zhong An asked.
"I guess I can't." The third prince replied quite affirmatively, "If I could walk by water, would I still stay at home?" ”
"Not necessarily." The Seventh Prince's voice became mysterious, "In the early years, I heard that there were private ships that went to the Fish Beach, and they didn't even have to spend the money to pass the customs records, and they exclusively bought and sold goods that were prohibited from trade between the two countries. ”
"Ridiculous! Nonsense! Drowning fish on the startling beach. There are dangerous peaks on both sides, the water is turbulent, the riverbed is paved with rocks, and the land is deserted for hundreds of miles. The third prince retorted loudly.
"That's why it's also called Bone Beach. There were very few people who made a fortune, and the number of dead people who overturned and sank in the ship was too great to count, and they turned into ghosts, and did not let the living go ashore. Flesh and blood grow ten miles of reed flowers at the bottom of the river, and the roots have poisonous stingers, even if you can get close to the shore, you can't find the direction from the poisonous reed flowers. ”
Mo Zi was putting the teacup down, and when he heard the seventh prince being alarmist there, he also brought out the powerful ghost and the poisonous reed, and spewed out half a sip of tea. Fortunately, Miss Eleven screamed in surprise, and no one seemed to notice her.
"My brothers are so bored, they talk about the war is boring, and they still tell such terrible ghost stories. Don't say any more, it was so frightened that the six sisters' faces turned pale. ”
Under the resolute opposition of Miss Eleven, the men no longer discussed the current situation, but instead discussed whether to find a few Ge Qiu, who was good at singing and dancing.
Before the agreement could be made, the door opened.
"Brother Mo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to wait for you." The genuine Erlang, the Erlang of the Cen family, came in, "I can't figure out how to make an account, inexplicably there is a lack of three thousand taels, and I was scared into a cold sweat." ”
But when he saw the many people behind the screen, he was stunned and asked, "Brother Mo, you brought a guest, why did you order a bowl of Yangchun noodles by yourself?" ”
Mo Zi laughed and said, "Help you save a few taels of silver in that account." ”
"Brother Mo also underestimated me. I can't hide three thousand taels of silver, and for a meal, you just have to order good wine and good food, and you're afraid that I won't be able to entertain you? Cen Erlang took out a stack of notebooks, "Since you are here, save me a trip and help me see if the silver has returned to its place." Three thousand taels! ”
"I don't look. If you can't get three thousand taels, do you dare to hand over the account room to you? I told your father, come today, don't look at the account. Mo Zi stood up and pulled Cen Erlang out," we said as we walked. ”
The door closed softly.
"It turned out to be a person from the owner of Wangqiu Tower, no wonder one person occupies such a large box, and he looks so complacent." Zhong An bluntly said that it was no wonder.
"At most, it's the butler." The third prince thinks that he is not looking away.
The Erlang swept over lightly, and the leisurely shadow behind the screen was no longer there, but he could still smell the fragrance of tea. A pair of black jade eyes flashed and disappeared.
Everything is calm.
