Volume 1: A Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 140: Goodbye
It was noon when Chenfeng and his party came out of the Treasure Building, Zhang Wen stood aside with a smile, and when he saw a few people walking out, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss, childe, lunch is ready, if there is nothing else, let's go eat first." ”
Chenfeng and the others had nothing to do, and the group followed Zhang Wen and soon came to a two-story building called "Xianhe Tower", and a small servant hurriedly greeted him: "Master Zhang, the private room on the second floor has been prepared, and I have been waiting for a long time." "Obviously familiar with Zhang Wen.
Walking into the restaurant, because it is the meal, the hall on the first floor is bustling, and men and women from all over the world are sitting together in twos and threes, or talking and laughing, or talking in a low voice, so lively.
Seeing that Bai Zhuo and the others were looking at the scene on the first floor intently, the little maid mistakenly thought that they were dissatisfied with the dining environment, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to the stairs leading to the second floor, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please here, the upstairs is full of private rooms, not noisy or noisy." ”
Chenfeng smiled slightly, didn't explain, and followed up to the second floor. After coming to the second floor, it was a lot cleaner, dozens of private rooms were closed, and the little maid led the group to a private room around the corner and then bent down and retreated.
After entering the room, Zhang Wen didn't sit down, and looked at Chenfeng with a smile and said: "A few young ladies and young ladies, the old slave took it upon himself to point out the signboard of this Crane Tower, I don't know if you have taboos and habits, the old slave is good to settle down." ”
"No, Steward Zhang, please take a seat, thank you for your hospitality, I should settle the bill for this meal." Chenfeng hurriedly waved his hand, stood up and motioned for Zhang Wen to sit down.
Chenfeng's movements and tone were quite jerky, most of these etiquette words were seen from the rivers and lakes, and it was only at this moment that Chenfeng secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was indeed right to read more.
Zhang Wen was no longer polite, and sat down in the next position, and asked seemingly casually: "How many sons have gained something in the Treasure Building?"
"The Morning Wind Boy got the Black Iron Badge given by Master Zhenbao Lou Qingyi!"
Chenfeng was about to say that there was nothing to gain, but Ding Yaru on the side suddenly interjected with a smile.
"Really?"
Zhang Wen stood up from the chair suddenly, and when he saw Chenfeng and the others looking at him in surprise, he realized that he was a little out of shape, and said stupidly: "It's a gaffe, miss, son, forgive me." ”
"Is this useful?"
Morrowind took out the Black Iron Five-Pointed Star Badge that Yu Qingyi handed over to him, and asked with some confusion?
"You don't know?"
As soon as Chenfeng's voice fell, it was Ding Yaru and Zhang Wen who asked in unison. Make the scene even more embarrassing.
"Uh......" Chenfeng was speechless, and Bai Zhuo and the others were also curious, what could be the origin of such a piece of broken copper and iron? Otherwise, why would Ding Yaru and Zhang Wen behave like this.
Zhang Wen smiled and said leisurely: "Chen Gongzi should know the Treasure Building, which is often called the Treasure Building, the Treasure Building and the Wanbao Building, are the two most famous trading houses in the East, rich and rival the country, and it is rumored that there are branches in the South, the North and even the Western Regions, and no one is unsurpassed in the entire continent in terms of its power and financial resources. ”
Zhang Wen said lightly, but Chenfeng and the others were shocked in their hearts, it turned out that this rare treasure building was so big, not to mention that it was so rich and rivaled by the country, it was so widely distributed on the entire continent.
"The headquarters of the treasure building is in the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is said that it is not far from the imperial city, its grandeur is second only to the imperial palace of the Great Zhou, the treasure building has branches in various states and counties, this trading workshop is the most influential, better than nothing. ”
"Jumbo Building is a business for people all over the world, Tong Su is not deceitful, and never does that deceptive business. Of course, the world is so big, there are very few people and forces who dare to offend Zhenbaolou, and those arrogant people who try to provoke the dignity of Zhenbaolou have been rampant for only three days, without exception. Without him, money can make ghosts grind!"
"Having said that, Childe, you have the Black Iron Badge, you are half a member of the Treasure Building, any force will give the Treasure Building some face when they see it, and for the first time, you will enjoy the benefits of different grades by trading in any Treasure Building with this item. ”
"It is said that the badge of the treasure building is divided into several kinds, the black iron badge in the hand of the son is the lowest, and there seems to be brass, silver, gold, platinum and the like, what is the difference between the specific several, it is not for the villain to know, in short, the son has the badge of the treasure building, and it will be a lot easier to walk the world. ”
Zhang Wenxu chattered about the treasure building and its unique badge, and it was an eye-opener to hear Chenfeng and others, and he didn't think that there was such a special force in Dazhou, relying on the trading network to have a deep foundation in the entire Dazhou, rather than whoever has the big fist has the right to speak.
Chenfeng sincerely thanked: "Thank you Steward Zhang for solving your doubts!"
Ding Yaru looked at Chenfeng and the others' reactions, which didn't seem to be fake, and doubts filled her heart again. Isn't it a child of a family of alchemists? How could they be ignorant of such a behemoth as the Treasure Building? Besides, shouldn't the relationship between the Treasure Building and the alchemist be very close?
At this moment, the second child of the restaurant knocked on the door and served the delicious dishes on the table one by one, interrupting Ding Yaru's thoughts.
Next, Chenfeng and the others appreciated the delicious food carefully prepared by Zhang Wen, Yao Ling'er ate with a mouth full of oil, and called it delicious, only Chenfeng secretly commented in his heart while chewing slowly, this dish is poor in salt and vinegar, and the pot of soup lacks onions and ginger.
When several people returned to their residence after dinner, a middle-aged man with a dignified face stood at the door, Ding Yaru excitedly shouted "Daddy" and flew into her arms, and her eyes were hazy with tears in an instant. This is the line of life and death, and it is not until this moment that she completely lets down her guard.
"Okay, Ru'er, you're already an adult, don't be so childish anymore, why don't you introduce your great benefactor to your father?" The middle-aged man touched Ding Yaru's hair dotingly, and smiled gently.
Ding Yaru listened to the middle-aged man's joke, then came back to her senses, wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, her cheeks were crimson, and whispered: "This is the Morning Wind Boy, this is Bai Zhuo...... They were the ones who cured their daughter's ill, and ......"
Seeing that Ding Yaru's voice was crying again, the middle-aged man hurriedly interrupted, and arched his hand to Chenfeng and the others: "Ding Li, the head of the Xia Ding family, thank you little friends." ”
Chenfeng took a step forward, and there was also a decent arch hand, and replied: "The head of the Ding family is polite, and the effort of his hands is not enough to worry about. ”
Ding Li still had a warm smile on his face, and he didn't care about the jerky return of the morning breeze, and said with a smile: "You will rest for a while, and then set off to return to Ding's house after dealing with some trivial matters. ”
Ding Li took Ding Yaru and left temporarily, and the four of them gathered in the house, and the atmosphere was a little dull. It's out of Canglan Mountain, but there is still a distance from Huihui College, and the day of enrollment is not far away, after all, it is a few children who are still young and have no experience in dealing with the world, and they are inevitably full of confusion about the unknown future.
"The Ding family still won't go, don't talk about delaying time, in case of regeneration, it will really delay your admission. Bai Zhuo broke the silence.
Chenfeng first nodded slowly, agreeing with Bai Zhuo's suggestion, and then frowned and whispered, "How can we refuse?"
"I went to Huihui College, passing through Yangping Prefecture, Wuzhou, and Yuehan Prefecture, and finally arrived in Xihan Prefecture, where Huihui College is located, the road is far away, the future is uncertain, and there are only more than two months left before the enrollment of Huihui College......
The morning breeze muttered to himself as he paced around the room like a broken thought.
Bai Zhuo suddenly interjected: "Or... Try the Black Iron Badge of the Treasure Building?"
Hearing this, Hu Ying was also happy, and looked at the morning breeze expectantly, while Yao Ling'er was bored and crawled on the table and played with the tea set in her hand, seemingly not caring about it.
Chenfeng was silent for a while, and then slowly shook his head: "Let's not say that this black iron badge doesn't work, even if it is useful, it can only be used as a backup option, we should still rely on ourselves, it is best not to count on external forces." ”
After some heated discussions, several people still did not come up with a charter. At this time, Zhang Wen's voice came from outside the door: "Two sons, two young ladies, the master invites a few people to the lobby to talk, I don't know if it's convenient?"
Bai Zhuo and Chenfeng looked at each other and smiled, after all, they still came, nodded and walked out, Hu Ying and Yao Ling'er hurriedly followed.
When a few people came to the hall on the first floor, Ding Li and Ding Yaru seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Chenfeng and others coming, Ding Li took the lead in getting up, with a smile on his face, and his expression and demeanor were much more enthusiastic and respectful than when they first met.
Ding Li looked at a few people and said with a smile: "A few sons, this place is remote, I have suffered in the past few days, Ding has arranged the frame, I don't know if it is convenient for you to go to the cold house for a small gathering?"
As the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Chenfeng was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm, and he was embarrassed to say that he was about to leave, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"Thank you for the kindness of the head of the Ding family, it's just that a few of me still have some things to do as instructed by the master and his old man, the time is in a hurry, I have to leave today, I'm really sorry, I have the opportunity to bother you another day." But it was Bai Zhuo who refused Ding Li's invitation without humility or arrogance, which made Chenfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh, I don't know if there is a place where Ding can be used?" To everyone's surprise, hearing Bai Zhuo's rejection, Ding Li was not only not annoyed, but faintly excited in his words.
"Well, it's not necessary, a little little thing won't bother the head of the Ding family, and besides, this can be regarded as a test for the family teacher, so ......" Bai Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand and declined Ding Li's kindness.
A faint look of disappointment flashed on Ding Li's face, and he sighed: "Understand, then I won't delay your trip, and I will definitely be a guest at the house if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
......
After Chenfeng and the others left, Ding Li's face regained his dignity as the head of the family.
"What do you think?"
Ding Li looked in the direction of the door and asked in a deep voice.
Ding Yaru glanced at her father, and plucked up the courage to say: "My daughter thinks that this matter should not be faked, there must be a high-level alchemist behind them, whether it is the method of treating her daughter, or the point of reference to Master Qingyi in the Treasure Building, it can be proved, it's just ...... What is the specific grade, and the incompetence of the ransom daughter has not been tempted. ”
Ding Li nodded slightly, expressing agreement, but did not say a word.
Seeing that Ding Li was silent, Zhang Wen arched his hand and said: "Back to the master, the old slave agrees with Miss's statement, except for what Miss said, the old slave Guan Chenfeng, Bai Zhuo and others are extremely good in terms of speech and demeanor, as well as etiquette and upbringing, like everyone came out." However, they don't know a lot of common sense about the mainland, this is where the old slave is incomprehensible, and please ask the old lady to know it!"
Ding Li nodded again, was silent for a long time, and then said leisurely: "This matter is strange, and it is not easy for people to come out of the depths of Canglan Mountain safely. This is the end of this matter, it is not appropriate to talk about it, I have my own plans, you two must be concerned about that matter, and nothing can go wrong. ”
Ding Yaru and Zhang Wenqi claimed to be.
At the same time, the four of Morrowind had already left the trading shop, and according to the general route recorded in the "Zhou Zhi", they hired a dilapidated carriage and set off.
Compared with the difficulty and caution in Canglan Mountain, at this moment, a few people walked briskly, not at all worried that a Beamon would suddenly emerge from the side of the road, or strayed into the mysterious bamboo forest, so soon disappeared on the official road.
Sitting in the carriage, Chenfeng looked back at the rolling dust behind the car, at first there was no wave in his heart, through the smoke can vaguely see the boundless Canglan Mountains, but looking at it, Chenfeng seems to see the thatched house in the mountains and jungles, the silent and peaceful old man in the thatched house courtyard, and the dignified and elegant Chen Qingqing finally returned.
So, Chenfeng raised his right hand, waved it gently, and said silently in his heart: "Goodbye!"
Ahead is the unknown, the world that I have longed for for a long time.
The end of this volume!
