Section 111 Calamity

Everything went quite smoothly, and Shen Mu felt a little relaxed on the way here. In addition to remembering tomorrow's things, I was thinking more about Yu Yu's affairs.

He always felt that something was not quite right in this matter, Yu Yonghe was a high-ranking official and a generous person, with Shen Mu's opinion of him, this kind of person could not arouse his interest in other things except for the official position, and he should not take his daughter so seriously at all. What's more, I have long heard that Yu Yonghe has three wives and four concubines, and five or six children......

Unless...... Unless Yu Yu will affect his "road to heaven".

Thinking of this, Shen Muden was stunned. No wonder Yu Yu wanted to escape...... It turned out that it was time to get married......

Forget it, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs...... I'm an outsider, what do you care!

As soon as he returned to the inn, Shen Mu saw Sun Yike leaning drunkenly in the corridor on the second floor.

Sun Yike followed Shen Mu to Xingzhai, and there was not a day when he was not drunk.

Shen Mu was also wondering if he had seen the wrong person.

How could such a drunkard stay in the righteous gas valve to help? But the words that came out of his mouth were so eclectic. If you think about it carefully, such people are often talented and accompanied by wine.

Shen Mu frowned and said, "Brother Sun, why are you lying here...... Be careful that it's frozen!" he said, squatting down and reaching out to help Sun Yike.

Sun Yike was half-asleep and half-awake, squinting one eye and seeing that it was Shen Mu. Shaking his head, he desperately kept upright and sober and said, "Brother Shen, you're back so soon...... This peach blossom drunk ...... That's a lot of energy......"

He floated under his feet and staggered two steps, but fortunately Shen Mu pulled him, so that he would not fall down the second floor.

Shen Mu smelled that he was full of wine, and said helplessly: "Brother Sun, are you drunk...... Go back to your room and rest!"

Sun Yike shook his fingers and said, "Pull the calf...... What is drunk? I'm not drunk...... Brother Shen, I told you the truth...... I will drink this wine even if I come to ten jars again...... Hiccup......"

When Sun Yike said this, he burped at Shen Mu, and a foul smell came to his face, almost throwing up Shen Mufu.

Sun Yike continued: "Brother Shen...... Before he finished ......speaking, his eyes were closed, his hands drooped, and he fell asleep drunk.

Shen Mu shook his head helplessly, dragged Sun Yike, and sent him back to the room.

As soon as he sat down to rest, the innkeeper came and knocked on the door.

Shen Mu opened the door and saw Xiao Er facing Avril and a man waiting outside the door.

Avril smiled first and said, "Boss Shen...... Hello!"

Shen Mu introduced the two of them into the room, gave Xiao Er some broken silver, and asked him to get some snacks and tea.

Xiao Er took the money and thanked him for it.

Shen Mu invited the two of them to sit down, sat down in front of the hall, and said, "Miss Avril, I don't know if you suddenly came to me?

Avril squinted and smiled softly, the kind of Westerner with charm in his bones was undoubtedly revealed.

"Boss Shen, I do have something to discuss with you! You should know that I am Glover's businessman...... I came here to do the white tea business...... My father is relatively old, and he can't stand the pain of thousands of miles...... As the eldest daughter in the family, I naturally have to take over the burden! Yesterday ...... Yesterday, I didn't know that Boss Shen was an adult from your country's tea bureau, so I was offended...... Please Boss Shen don't ...... Mind...... Mind, mind!"

Shen Mu smiled: "Didn't the girl help Shen yesterday? This has already been offset...... Girls don't have to take it personally!"

Avril said, "Thank you, Boss Shen......!" I just heard from the elder that there has been some change in the white tea business this year. So I came to find out from Boss Shen. ”

Shen Mu already knew that Avril had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so he said: "Yes, this year, Shen has optimized the white tea business, and it is also for the sake of the tea merchant partners' way to make money, I don't know how the girl understands Shen Mu's approach?"

Avril said, "I ...... I looked at the price list, and I listened to the elder's message, and I thought it was possible...... I know that it would be a bit biased for Boss Shen to ask for how many boxes to order now, so I only hope that Mr. Shen will promise one thing!"

Shen Mu originally thought that Avril wanted to take advantage of yesterday's love to have a close to the water, but if she really said it, she would be in a dilemma because of her embarrassment and justice. Unexpectedly, Avril herself understood this, and secretly admired her high emotional intelligence.

Shen Mu said: "Girl, please speak!"

Avril said: "I want to ask Boss Shen to promise me, if tomorrow after the major chambers of commerce have finished ordering, I will pay for the remaining tea boxes, regardless of it, how about it?"

It was impossible for Shen Mu to disagree with this request, but at the same time, he had a little more doubts: "Miss Avril, Shen can promise you this, but please also ask the girl to think carefully first, if there is less left tomorrow, it doesn't matter." If other merchants are not interested, there are a lot of gift boxes left. The girl has to think about whether she can eat it, and even if the girl eats it, she has to think about whether she can do it all...... Shen is a kind reminder, please consider it. ”

Avril said, "That's what Boss Shen said...... I've thought about it too...... As long as Mr. Shen agrees, I have my own way to ...... the rest."

Shen Mu said: "It's impossible for me not to agree to such a request...... It's good for the girl to think clearly......"

Avril said: "I, Glover, are located in the west of the continent, and although I am across the sea from Yunzhao Country, this vast sea has countless risks and is impassable. It took us half a year to come to Yunzhaoguo. If it takes half a year each time, then we are either on the way to come or on the way back. Therefore, the presidents who came from the eight countries are only honorable, and most of them are the presidents of the chambers of commerce and branches stationed in various parts of your country. Only we and a very small number of people have come from our own countries. This is also my first time in Yunzhao Kingdom, so I am curious about all kinds of things in your country. This time, I saw Mr. Shen's unique views on the white tea business, which is very wonderful and novel. The reason why I want to ask Mr. Shen to transfer the rest of the gift boxes to us is that we will have the same share every year in the future......"

Avril said eloquently, and Shen Mu was thrilled to hear it. Avril said it simply, and this passage was only a few seconds, but Shen Mu knew how much sadness there was in these words.

Glover and Yunzhaoguo are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, in a world without airplanes and high-speed rail. It is not easy for a girl to travel across this continent in half a year.

And this time it was a whole year, and a man like him didn't dare to imagine the hardships on the road.

If it weren't for the survival of the family, no one would want to trek through mountains and rivers like this.

It's no wonder that Avril was beaten with a stick when she first saw her, this is the self-protection she must have.

Shen Mu was moved and took a long breath: "Miss Avril, I agreed." On top of that, I'll make you a special tea box of a thousand boxes every year, in your name, unique, until you decide you don't need it anymore!"

No man can refuse the reasonable request made by such a beautiful woman, and Shen Mu is no exception.

Avril was overjoyed, and couldn't help jumping up and said, "Thank you, Boss Shen......"

She danced with joy, like a girl who had scored a perfect score.

The eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and the blonde hair is fluttering.

"Boss Shen, in order to express your gratitude, can you have a meal with your face?"

At the mention of the word "rice", Shen Mu remembered that he seemed to have eaten some snacks sent by Xiao Er from morning to now. When Avril said this, her stomach was really hungry and panicked.

During the meal, Avril introduced the man next to her, named Edmonton, who was the "guardian" of the Avril family.

To put it bluntly, it is a personal bodyguard.

This meal was eaten until the evening.

Fortunately, the two didn't care if they had lunch or dinner.

When night fell, Avril said goodbye to Shen Mu and returned.

Back at the inn, Shen Mu found Ma Linzi and Zong Ming to chat, and most of what he said was tomorrow's arrangement.

There was a sound of footsteps, and I saw Hou Cheng rushing up to the guest room on the second floor.

Shen Mu saw that he was out of breath, and said with a smile: "Brother Hou, what's the matter, is it because the girl outside is pestering you......"

When Ma Linzi and Zong Ming heard this, they burst out laughing.

Hou Cheng has been staying with a group of Feng sisters for the past two days, and the soft bone style is simply envious of others. But only Shen Mu and others knew that Hou Cheng's job was not easy to do.

Not to mention that those dusty women have no discipline at all, just two or three random people chattering is enough for Hou Cheng's head to explode.

Hou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Shen, don't be joking. Something big is wrong......"

Shen Mu saw that his face didn't look like a joke, so he hurriedly said, "What's going on?"

Hou Chengdao: "Hey, on the way back, I ran into a large group of officers and soldiers rushing out of the city. I looked at it with curiosity and looked at it twice. Unexpectedly, as soon as the group of officers and soldiers left the city, another group of officers and soldiers rushed in. The black oppression is all out of the city...... and the father-in-law of the Tea Bureau also went out of the city in a sedan chair...... That's right...... And that Lord Zhu...... Many people rushed out of the city...... I wondered...... Why are they out of the city so late, looking at their ...... in a hurry?"

Shen Mu listened to his book-like narration, and said hurriedly: "Pick up the key points, what the hell is going on." ”

Hou Cheng was snorted by Shen Mu, and hurriedly said: "I just inquired about it, and then I found out that there was an accident at the post station, and I heard that someone died......

When Shen Mu heard this, his face changed greatly, and he stood up and walked around, saying as he walked: "Brother Xiaoma, you come with me." Zong Ming, Hou Cheng, you two bring it back and call the brothers to follow and rush to the post station as soon as possible. ”

While talking, he had already arrived in the backyard, took the horses, and hurried to the post station with Ma Linzi.

There were two or three hundred soldiers outside the station, and the road had been blocked.

Shen Mu and the others were stopped by officers and soldiers when they were still some distance away from the post station. It is said that there is an order from above, and the idle people are temporarily avoided.

Shen Mu said his identity, but unexpectedly, the officer and soldier said that there must be an adult's approval, otherwise no one can enter.

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a man raise his voice: "Can't even me?"
