A month later, the shopkeeper of Qian came to the Southern Chu Kingdom with a caravan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the caravan stopped to inspect at the gate of the city, Goudan nodded to the leader of the guards with the paperwork, and then took out a bag of silver and stuffed it.
Li Yong said: "Money shopkeeper, didn't you say that your caravan is unimpeded all the way?
Qian shopkeeper: "Brother Li Yong doesn't know, although Qian has a good relationship with the heroic yamen in various places, but there are too many small joints in the world, and the little devils are difficult, hehe." The gatekeeper has changed, and the two brothers don't look like locals at first glance, so I asked the dog to be accommodating so as not to cause trouble. ”
"The eldest brother is as careful as dust and thinks thoughtfully. Tian Cai said.
After taking care of the dog's eggs, he ran to the car and handed the clerk to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you can go." The money shopkeeper nodded, and the caravan continued to walk.
After passing the city gate, Li Yong said strangely: "How can the capital of this Southern Chu Kingdom be called a city of Buzhou? ”
Qian shopkeeper: "We Chu people have always been regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains vassal states, and the Chu people continue to go south to conquer the country in order to survive and become stronger and stronger, but the princes of the Central Plains still despise us Chu people, so the Chu people have never been tribute to the Zhou Dynasty, and they have never been dissatisfied with the Zhou, so they named the capital Buzhou City." ”
"Oh, I see, hehe. But the further south it goes, the hotter it gets, and a month ago there were snowflakes in Shudi. Li Yong said.
Goudan walked below: "That is, the climate of the Southern Chu Kingdom is warm and the land is fertile, it can be described as the country of abundance, and women are also born beautiful, hehe." ”
"Hehe, well, there are so many beautiful girls, all of them are smart. Li Yong's eyes were confused, and he couldn't get excited when he looked at the girls on both sides of the street.
Tian Cai shook his head: "Look at your lustful appearance, don't scare other girls, there are so many beauties in the Tianchong Immortal Realm that are not enough for you to see." ”
Li Yong's saliva flowed: "The fairy world sisters have their beauty, but they are all arrogant and look down on me Li Yong, and the women of the fairy world like to cultivate to be tall and handsome." Hey, it's all because Master Kuanggu didn't accept me as an apprentice, saying that I have no wisdom roots, otherwise I Li Yong wouldn't have to be sent by Senior Brother Gongsun after cultivating for a few years, but I can't get the appreciation of the fairy world for a princely talent like me......"
There was a commotion in front, Tian Cai watched a large number of people pointing around a wall, some were excited, and some laughed more than being coaxed by the guards.
"Oh no, shopkeeper, we're blocked in our way. Dogan said.
The caravan of the money shopkeeper was blocked by the crowd in the middle of the road and could not move, and the money shopkeeper said: "Dog, you go back to the house first and inform your wife that we are back, and ask her to prepare a meal to receive my brother-in-law." The dog answered and crowded away.
"What, what's going on?" Li Yong stood in the car and looked around, anxious: "Money shopkeeper, what they say, I don't understand." ”
The shopkeeper said: "I heard what they meant was Princess Ruhua, the only daughter of the emperor of the Southern Chu Kingdom, who was recruiting relatives today, as long as she could defeat all the unmarried men of all opponents, she would be recruited as a concubine." ”
Tian Cai and Li Yong looked at the money shopkeeper, and Li Yong was very happy: "And this is a good thing, hehe, isn't this a ring specially set up for Li Yong? Great!"
Li Yong looked at the crowd and asked, "This, where is this ring?"
Tian Cai and the money shopkeeper looked at each other and laughed, Li Yong hurriedly said: "What are you laughing at! I, Li Yong, have real skills, and besides, I have seen the immortal methods of the ancient masters, teachers and brothers in the heavenly realm, and I have learned some of them, and it is easy to defeat these ordinary people, haha." ”
The corners of Tian Cai's mouth hooked: "It seems that Senior Brother Li's face for you that day is fulfilled, hehe." ”
"Hey, it's really true, borrowing the auspicious words of Senior Brother Death, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, this time Li Yong must seize the opportunity to compete and recruit relatives. Li Yong sat down and asked again: "Shopkeeper Qian, many of their dialects are incomprehensible, you can help me listen to where the ring is." ”
The shopkeeper turned his head to look at the emperor, and then said: "Oh, we came in from the west city gate, and the ring is at the north gate. ”
"It's already started, no, I have to hurry up to the competition, then Princess Ruhua must be waiting for me to be a colt." Li Yong watched a large group of people make trouble, and Tian Cai and the money shopkeeper were happy.
Li Yong said: "Don't believe it, I, Li Yong, will definitely win the championship." Hey, money shopkeeper, is the emperor's only daughter, Princess Ruhua, born as beautiful as a fairy?"
"Huh?" The shopkeeper thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's natural, the emperor's harem has three thousand beauties, and the daughter born is amazing." Brother Li Yong went to the Southern Chu Kingdom without relatives, you went to win the championship and be a concubine not only to get fame and glory, but also to get a princess like a flower, it's worth it, hehe. ”
"That's good, time doesn't wait, Li Yong is now going to the north gate to compete and recruit relatives, and then I will go to visit the money shopkeeper when I win the first, thank you money shopkeeper for guiding the maze, hehe. Li Yong stood up again and looked around to see if there was no way.
Qian shopkeeper: "Brother Li Yong, Qian's pharmacy is connected to the main store of Qianzhuang in Nancheng, and the biggest one is, come to us if you have good news." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Li Yong looked at the Huangbang not far away, and his heart moved, and said: "It seems that I have to jump over and remove the Huangbang, lest these people block the road and can't walk, and by the way, take the Huangbang to find the princess, hehe." With that, Li Yong jumped away, turned around and removed the imperial list, and jumped to the roof with his arm against the wall, all in one go.
The people and guards in the road were amazed, and a few sturdy men below jumped and roared, then turned around and ran through the crowd to the northern city. Li Yong was proud, hugged his fists and said: "Unveil the emperor's list to recruit relatives, and win the first place to be a horse for you to see." With that, he leapt from the roof and followed the sturdy men who were running on the ground.
"It seems that this Princess Ruhua must be beautiful and extraordinary, you see that those people are really desperate to go to the north gate. Tian Cai said with emotion.
"Hey, the emperor's daughter doesn't worry about getting married, it's not worth mentioning compared to Su Xiyun. The shopkeeper didn't speak, and seeing his sad expression, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think so much, your sister-in-law will see you later, be happy, hehe." ”
"Hmm, sister-in-law, sister-in-law wants to see me?" Tian Cai said.
The money shopkeeper watched the crowd disperse, waved his leather whip, and the caravan continued to march: "Yes, every time the eldest brother comes back to bring a few carts of precious mountain herbs, Madame often hears the people talk about you, and always asks me to take you to the house as a guest, hehe." Tian Cai nodded and smiled, watching the bustling crowd shuttling endlessly, Buzhou City can be described as a very prosperous place.
Tian Cai watched the bustling city all the way with a happy look on his face, and he had been to the town under Tianchong Mountain before, which was dwarfed by this majestic and prosperous capital.
"Alright, here we are, Brother Tana. The shopkeeper shouted excitedly, and the caravan stopped in front of a tall mansion, and the shopkeeper helped Tian Cai down the ox cart.
"Qian Mansion!" Tian Cai looked up at the plaque, admiring in his heart, the eldest brother is really rich, although it is not as good as the palace of the majestic Tianchong Immortal Realm, it is very different from the surrounding houses.
"Dad, Dad, you're back!" a crisp female voice came, and suddenly rushed into Qian Guomin's arms.
"Ouch, girl, it's still so happy, where is it like a lady, hehe. The shopkeeper let go of Tian Cai, Tian Cai's body shook and stood firmly on the side of the car, probably knowing that this was the daughter of the eldest brother.
"You old immortal, why did you come back so soon? A middle-aged woman who looked like a noblewoman went out, swearing and swearing.
The shopkeeper looked helpless: "Madam, didn't you just let the dog inform you that we are back?
"Yes, yes. Xianggong, every time you go out for a few months, it's rare to come back, don't I think of you at home?" Mrs. Qian glanced at him, and saw a handsome young man with great joy in her heart.
Qian Guomin: "You...... What do you think, teach others how bad it is, pay attention to what you say outside, and don't let some people with ulterior motives hear. ”
"Ma'am. Tian Caigang was afraid that it was wrong, so he changed his words: "Tian Cai has seen my sister-in-law, I, my legs and feet are not good, I'm afraid it's not good to be polite, don't blame." ”
"Daddy, isn't this handsome brother ...... Hey. The daughter of the money shopkeeper looked at Tian Cai with a shy side face.
"Ah, yes, I forgot to introduce you two. The money shopkeeper let go of his daughter, pulled Tian Cai's arm and said, "Madam, this is Tian Cai, the sworn brother I often mention to you." ”
"Ahh Mrs. Qian came to her senses and smiled with a smile on her face: "Yes, I can see that this handsome and extraordinary young man is Uncle Tian Cai, Zhao Xiangyu is polite." ”
"This is sister-in-law Xiangyu, daughter-in-law Zhao Jin'er. The money shopkeeper introduced.
Zhao Jin'er pouted, pinching her two hands in her sleeves, but she was nervous for a while, and her eyes looked at Tian Cai with starry light: "Brother is really a beautiful man, why did Daddy never mention it?" ”
"Hey, you girl, call you uncle, how can you call your brother? The money shopkeeper educated Zhao Jin'er.
Zhao Jin'er glanced at the money shopkeeper, as if he was never afraid: "Daddy, you see that he is half a head taller than his daughter, and he is one year older than his daughter when he is young, how can you marry him as a brother? ”
Tian Cai and Qian Guomin looked embarrassed, Tian Cai smiled and said: "Tian Cai told my eldest brother before, and Brother Qian said that I would make friends in previous years, so I didn't think much about it and married Jin Lan with my eldest brother." ”
Qian Guomin gently patted the back of Zhao Jin'er's head: "There is no seriousness, just like your mother, everyone doesn't know how to be polite." Zhao Jin'er made a little grimace at him, holding her mother's arm and looking unhappy: "Mother, look at Dad, as soon as he comes back, he scolds his daughter, he clearly likes Jin'er because of his patriarchy." ”
Zhao Xiangyu's face sank, and he said angrily: "Old man, you are really, as soon as you come back, you will make my little heart unhappy, be careful of my ......" Zhao Xiangyu looked at Tian Cai's surprised face, immediately retracted his expression, and hurriedly said: "Ouch, what are you still standing here, hurry up and go into the house to eat a hot meal." ”
Qian Guomin smiled unnaturally when he saw Tian Cai, and then ordered the caravan to unload the goods.
The money shopkeeper helped Tian Cai into the mansion, and the courtyard seemed to have no head when he walked around, and Tian Cai suddenly felt that Brother Jieyi really had a way of doing business. Zhao Xiangyu's mother and daughter walked in front, and the mother and daughter looked back from time to time while talking and laughing, and then turned back embarrassedly and continued to laugh.
Tian Cai felt uncomfortable, and asked unintentionally: "Brother Qian, your daughter's name is Zhao Jin'er, why don't you believe it?"
Qian Guomin sighed and looked at the mother and daughter walking in front of him: "When I took you four orphans to Tianchong Mountain, Zhou Quanshu asked me why I didn't continue to take the skill test and gave up literature to engage in business. ”
"Well, the eldest brother said at that time that your family was surrounded by four walls, and your parents died early and had no money to continue living. Tian Cai said.
Qian Guomin: "People are poor and short-minded, and a penny is difficult to beat a hero, when I gave you a silver ticket in Tianchong Mountain, I said that you live in a fairy tale, that is because you don't live in the world, what kind of life do you have to live without money?"
Tian Cai sighed and nodded: "Big brother is right, at that time, Tian Cai thought that he could stay in the world forever and live in the world with her, but it's a pity that creation makes people, and now I have to face the world......"
"Brother, don't think about it so much, you will never starve to death if you have a bite to eat from your eldest brother, so you can live here to cultivate. The shopkeeper comforted him, turned the topic back to avoid him being sad, and continued: "The Qian family is surrounded by walls, except for writing a few sour and rotten articles, he has no skills, and he almost wants to beg for food.
Jin'er's mother's family is a rich man, so she recruited Qian Guomin to be her son-in-law, so the children followed their parents' letters. After that, coinciding with the great turmoil in the world, the princes and states continued to quarrel, and the people and their wives fled to the city of Buzhou to settle down, and the family's fertile land was lost. In desperation, I discussed with my wife to start a business, and after more than ten years of hard work, I earned this family business. ”
"It turns out that it is not easy for my eldest brother to have ups and downs in his life. Tian Cai said with emotion.
Money shopkeeper: "Xiangyu is actually very good-hearted, but he is unforgiving, and his temperament is a little stronger, if Xiangyu's mother and daughter collide with their brothers again, please bear more." ”
Tian Cai smiled: "Brother Qian, didn't you say that you were afraid of two women in this life in Shanmen Peak?" one is the moody Demon Empress who is worried, and the other is Sister Xiyun who does not eat fireworks in the world, I look at it, what you are most afraid of is their mother and daughter, hehe." ”
"This, this, alas. Qian Guomin laughed embarrassedly and said, "It's here, my brother must be hungry, hehe." ”
