The rain in Lingshui Province came and went quickly, and when Long Yuan and the others reached the delivery location, the rain gradually stopped, and a rare ray of sunlight appeared in the diffuse mist, and the dew drops hanging on the corner of the house shimmered crystal clear.

Naughty children rushed outside the house despite the dissuasion of their parents, frolicking in the slippery streets, and in a short time there were many mud spots on their bodies, and it was estimated that they would inevitably be beaten with sticks when they returned home, but this did not affect their current happy mood.

Long Yuan couldn't help but feel a little touched when he looked at this scene, and the dusty memories poured out one by one, flashing in his mind like a marquee, and Long Yuan's eyes were a little hot for a while.

"What, envy?"

Zhou Meng, who was also an orphan, surprisingly did not laugh at Long Yuan this time, because he also had this feeling.

Long Yuan tilted his face slightly, took a deep breath and calmed down his fluctuating emotions, "What stupid things are you talking about, why am I envious of them?"

"Hard-mouthed. ”

Zhou Meng pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully.

"Lao Zhang, you go knock on the door. ”

Long Yuan also ignored Zhou Meng, and turned to Lao Zhang, who was still wearing a robe, and commanded him.

Lao Zhang nodded, came to the vermilion lacquer gate with the "City Lord's Mansion", and knocked on the lion's mouth copper ring.

That's right, the person Long Yuan and the others are going to deliver this time is the city lord of Tangdu City, and this is also the news that Long Yuan only learned after he arrived in Tangdu City to inquire.

Crunch –

A crack opened in the vermilion lacquer gate, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant came out, looked at Lao Zhang, and then said arrogantly: "What are you doing here in the City Lord's Mansion?"

As the old saying goes: the prime minister is a third-grade official in front of the door. So after listening to and watching more, these servants who work in the City Lord's Mansion will inevitably have some arrogance.

Lao Zhang naturally understood this truth, and respectfully said to the man dressed as a servant: "We are a merchant from Beisha Province, and we have come to your mansion to deliver the goods, please take the trouble to pass it on." ”

"Running business~"

After hearing Lao Zhang's introduction, the servant smacked his mouth, turned several corners at the end, and slapped his palm twice and said: "Now the city lord, I am seeing the distinguished guest, you can wait here for a while!"

"Little brother, you see that it is not easy for us to come from afar, so you can make it convenient!" Lao Zhang said as he put some broken silver into the servant's hand.

The servant swept the broken silver in his hand, frowned and scolded with a righteous face: "What do you think of me!"

Saying that, he threw the broken silver on Lao Zhang's face, making a posture of going inside, Lao Zhang ignored the pain on his cheeks, and hurriedly stopped the servant man and said: "Rest the anger, stop the anger, it's the old man I don't understand the rules." ”

After saying that, he took out twice as much broken silver as just now and put it in the servant's hand, the servant felt that the weight in his hand was not light, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, but his eyes were still looking at the broken silver he threw just now.

How could Lao Zhang not understand his thoughts, and secretly scolded a "scoundrel" in his heart, but he still bent down and respectfully picked up the silver taels and sent them to the servant's hand, and kept saying: "Labor, labor." ”

"Well, I kind of know the rules. After the servant pretended to be a moment, he said slowly, "It just so happens that the butler in charge is resting in the house, so I will go and call him over." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lao Zhang to answer, he walked into the door and closed the door with a bang.

"It's not a thing!"

Yin Ying gritted his teeth and scolded, even Long Yuan frowned a little angrily, obviously the servant's action of smashing Lao Zhang with broken silver just now had made Long Yuan very unhappy in his heart.

Without letting Long Yuan and them wait long, the vermilion lacquer gate opened again, and a man with a round figure and two beards under his nose walked out with figure-eight steps.

Maybe seeing that Long Yuan and the others were still young, he mistakenly thought that Lao Zhang was the leader of this run, so he stood on the steps and said, "I heard that you are here to deliver the goods?"

"Exactly. ”

Lao Zhang arched his hand.

"Do you have credentials?"

Lao Zhang took out the list handed over to them by Boss Xu in Liting City from his arms and handed it to the fat butler.

After taking the list, the fat butler glanced at it a few times, nodded and said, "Well, that's right, you can come in with me!"

The guards held the wooden box that Long Yuan had already taken out in their hands, and walked to the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the fat butler.

In the verandah, the fat housekeeper said to Lao Zhang with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come so soon, my family is still worried that it will be too late, and two days ago he ordered me to hurry up and prepare a birthday gift." ”

"Didn't you say that the deadline set for these wood carvings was two months later, why are you in such a hurry now?" asked Lao Zhang puzzled.

"Hey, these wood carvings were originally intended for the birthday of the old lady of the City Lord's Mansion, but who knows that there are two new officials in the city of the mansion, and I heard that one of them is particularly fond of wood carving......

Speaking of which, Long Yuan and they can be regarded as understanding, feeling that this city lord is planning to do what he likes.

The fat butler glanced at Long Yuan, Zhou Meng, and Yin Ying again, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy for you guys to make this trip, and you actually gave it away!"

"Sending people" is the jargon in running business, usually it means escorting some people to other places, but "sending people" is often accompanied by a high risk, so running caravans generally do not accept the work of "sending people".

"Well, I think you may have misunderstood. Hearing the fat butler's words, Lao Zhang also looked a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly pointed to Long Yuan and introduced the fat butler: "This is the leader of our caravan this time." ”

"Him!?"

The fat housekeeper was also a little surprised for a while, looked Long Yuan up and down, and looked at Lao Zhang with a serious expression, not like he was joking.

The fat butler muttered in his heart: "Such a small child will actually be the leader of a caravan, and you have to inspect the goods well, don't go wrong." ”

It is estimated that Long Yuan is a milky little kid, and the fat housekeeper has no interest in chatting for a while, and the group came to the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion in silence.

"Okay, let's open the box and inspect the goods!"

The fat butler said with a serious face.

Take out the wood carvings one by one and hand them over to the fat butler to see. The fat butler took the list, checked the quality again and again after counting the quantity, and after he nodded, he was sent into the treasury by the servants of the city lord's mansion.

Seeing that the goods were almost counted, Long Yuan took out the brocade box containing the "Frost White Longevity Turtle" from his arms and carefully placed it in the hands of the fat butler.

"Shhhh

opened the brocade box, and the cold air on his face made the fat butler gasp, and his round body couldn't help but shiver.

His fingertips swept over the body of the "frost-white longevity turtle", and he was full of praise: "Boutique, absolute boutique!"

The fat butler is also a person who has seen a lot of treasures, and the wood carvings are not a hundred or eighty, but they can be compared to the "frost-white longevity turtle" in his hand now, and he can count them on one hand.

Afraid that something would go wrong with his servants, the fat butler personally held the brocade box and took Long Yuan and them to the account office of the City Lord's Mansion to withdraw money.

With the face of the fat housekeeper, Long Yuan and the others quickly got the payment, and after the payment was cleared, the fat housekeeper enthusiastically sent Long Yuan to the door.

But just as they passed through the lobby, they heard a strong and powerful voice coming from the lobby: "Okay, good, the master's high apprentice is really different, with your high apprentice entering my city lord's mansion, this time the family assessment, I will definitely be nine out of ten." ”

Long Yuan and the others followed the sound and looked over, and saw several familiar figures.

Yin Ying whispered to Long Yuan, "Aren't they the same people who ate at the inn before, how can they be here?"

These people are the old man in the inn, as well as a young man named Xiao Wu and a woman named Xiao Wu, as for the stranger in gorgeous clothes, he should be the city lord of Tangdu City.

Long Yuan nodded silently, and was about to leave, but Zhou Meng, who had not spoken, stopped, and looked at Xiao Wu with an arrogant face.

Xiao Wu also seemed to notice Zhou Meng's gaze, and turned his head to meet Zhou Meng's eyes...... Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
