Chapter 30 The Young Owner of the Five Lakes
After the white dragon announced the task, the water curtain in front of Jia Liyu's eyes suddenly shook slightly, slowly blurred, a picture of green mountains and green waters from virtual to real, from blurred and clear, Jia Liyu found himself in an ancient town, between the mountains and rivers, you can see piles of purple sand pottery everywhere, there is a unique style.
Jia Liyu looked around, trying to figure out where he was at this time, walked half a street, saw nine out of ten shops selling pottery, repeatedly muttered to himself "pottery, pottery", and then thought of a place - Yixing, the "pottery capital", located in the south of Jiangsu, Yixing on the west bank of Taihu Lake.
"What does the white dragon mean by sending me here?" Jia Liyu quickly recalled the plot related to Taihu Lake in the Condor Shooting, and then thought of Lu Chengfeng in Guiyunzhuang.
"Could it be that Guo Jing and Huang Rong have come to Taihu Lake now?" Jia Liyu stopped and thought for a moment, his stomach growled, patted his body, and found not a penny, although Bai Long did not let himself be a beggar this time, and even gave himself a chic white dress, but the empty pocket made his situation not much different from the first time he came.
Fortunately, Jia Liyu is no longer in a state of ignorance for the first time, especially after having the ability to be a wonderful scholar, he will definitely be invincible in this city.
"Anyway, fill your stomach first. Jia Liyu made up his mind, began to look for the target, looked around, did not find a suitable object, and was about to walk towards the east, when he suddenly saw three men dressed very differently from the Song Dynasty buying pottery.
"Jin Ren?" Jia Liyu looked at the braids tied up on the heads of the three people, recognized their identities, the three of them chose the pottery, took it and left, they didn't even pay, the pottery boss shouted for money, but listened to one of them: "We are the entourage of the envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom, it is your honor to take your pottery, and you dare to open your mouth to ask for money, I don't know what is dead or alive." ”
When the pottery boss heard the words "Dajin Guoqin Envoy", he didn't dare to shout again, and shook his head helplessly, with a face full of tears.
Seeing this, Jia Liyu walked quickly towards the three golden men, pretending to bow his head and hurry, and accidentally collided with the three golden men.
The boy who hit them seemed to be frightened by this angry reprimand, said "I'm sorry", and then turned around and ran away, and the three of them didn't even react.
After the entourage of the three Great Golden Qin envoys left, Jia Liyu turned around and came back, walked to the pottery boss's shop and asked, "How much is the pottery that the three golden men took from you just now worth?"
The boss had just lost his business and was about to find someone to complain, when he heard Jia Liyu ask, he saw him kind and kind, and said helplessly: "The few pottery I took also cost twenty taels of silver, and these gold people are really unreasonable." He sighed again.
Jia Liyu took out a heavy money bag from his arms, then poured out a gold ingot from the money bag, handed it to the boss, and said, "Do you think this gold ingot is enough?"
The boss looked at Jia Liyu with a surprised face, but he didn't dare to reach out to take the gold, and said, "It's enough, it's just ......."
Jia Liyu said with a smile: "This time, the envoy of Jin Guoqin is staying in my house, they eat and drink for nothing outside, and the silver naturally wants our family to come out, take it." ”
The boss hesitantly stretched out his hand, Jia Liyu stuffed the gold into his hand, and then turned around and left, the boss hurriedly shouted: "Childe, I haven't looked for you yet......" Before the words fell, Childe was gone, and the boss looked at the gold in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
Jia Liyu picked up the money bags of the three golden people, returned the pottery money for them, and then found an inn to eat, now he has a lot of money, not afraid of no food money, asked Xiao Er to come over and order the best dishes in the store, and when waiting for the dishes, the two uninvited guests were not invited and sat down opposite.
"Are you ......" Jia Liyu looked at the two opposite and asked curiously.
"You don't care who we are, you tell us who you are first. ”
Jia Liyu smiled and said nothing.
"You just said that the envoy of Jin Guoqin lives in your house?"
Jia Liyu looked at the person who spoke and said, "Jin Guoqin's envoy is so pompous, if you want to check it, it's easy, why embarrass me here?"
The two glanced at each other and asked Jia Liyu: "So, the little brother hasn't seen the envoy of the Jin Kingdom?"
Jia Liyu shook her head.
"Then why did you pay back the pottery money for those three golden men?"
Jia Liyu smiled and said, "Because the gold is theirs." ”
"Huh?" the two suddenly realized, laughed, and praised: "Little brother did a good job, excuse me." ”
Jia Liyu's heart suddenly moved, and said: "If the two of you don't have to eat, it's better to be together, it's too boring for me to eat alone, and the gold of Jin Guoqin's envoy doesn't have to be used in vain." ”
The two were about to refuse Jia Liyu's invitation, but after hearing the last sentence, they looked at each other and smiled, and sat down again, saying, "Little brother is right, the gold of Jin Guoqin's envoy does not need to be used in vain. ”
Jia Liyu stretched out his hand and asked Xiao Er to add wine and vegetables.
After a while, the wine and food were served, and after the three of them exchanged their names, they pushed the cups and changed the lamps, chatting while eating, Jia Liyu took a big sip of wine and asked, "I don't know what happened when the Jin people sent an envoy this time?"
Zhang Weixian snorted and said, "What else can be good, it's just to ask for benefits and scrape the people's fat and people's ointment." ”
Jia Liyu sighed and said, "It's a pity. ”
Zhang Weixian asked: "Why is Brother Xiao Jia called a pity?"
"Brother Zhang doesn't know, it's a pity that I can only take their money bags with my hands, and I can't help the people get back those gold and silver treasures. ”
Zhang Weixian paused for a moment and asked, "What ......does Xiao Jia's brother mean?"
Jia Liyu looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I have heard that the young owner of Taihu Lake Guiyunzhuang is anxious and righteous, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to see him. ”
Zhang Weixian smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Xiao Jia is really willing to meet Master Lu Shaozhuang, can I help with this?"
"Really?"
"Naturally, take it seriously. However, before going to meet the young owner, Brother Ma and I still have to inquire about the news of the envoy of the Jin State. ”
"I don't know if there's anything you need my little brother's help with?"
Zhang Weixian shook his head and said, "The young owner has already made arrangements, and Brother Jia is waiting here." ”
After the three finished eating, Jia Liyu paid, Zhang Weixian, Ma Jun and Jia Liyu hugged their fists and said goodbye in a hurry, Jia Liyu didn't want to wait, found a secluded place to meditate, I don't know how long it took, Jia Liyu only felt that the jade qi was in harmony with the gods, several breaths and breaths, and the qi returned to the dantian, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the night had already fallen.
Jia Liyu hurriedly got up and went to the agreed place to round with Zhang Ma and the others, and just arrived at the door of the inn, he saw two black shadows walking towards this side, it was Zhang Weixian and Ma Jun.
"Something went wrong, and Brother Jia waited for a long time. Zhang Weixian apologized.
"It doesn't matter. ”
"Let's go, let's go see the young owner. ”
Jia Liyu followed Zhang Weixian and Ma Jun all the way to the east, and soon after, came to the Taihu Lake, and a group of men holding torches and dressed as fishermen gathered together, those people seemed to know Zhang Weixian, greeted each other, called brothers, walked along the lake for a while, came to a row of fishing boats approached, everyone flocked to the boat, Jia Liyu followed Zhang Weixian also got on the fishing boat.
The boat sailed out of the lake, and suddenly heard the sound of conch whims in the lake, and after a few miles, I saw that the lake was full of fishing boats, and a caravan was parked in the center of the lake, and the sound of conch came from the caravan.
"The young owner is on the big boat. Zhang Weixian introduced Jia Liyu, and suddenly the speed of the boat accelerated, and he rushed towards the caravan, and when he got closer, the speed of the boat slowed down, and it just stopped next to the caravan.
"Brother Jia, get on the boat. Ma Jun said, the three of them got on the big boat, Jia Liyu saw more than a dozen small boats parked around the big boat, and someone walked out of the boat one after another, Jia Liyu, Zhang Weixian, and Ma Jun entered the cabin of the big ship, and saw a calm and relaxed young man sitting in the main seat of the cabin, and everyone saluted him humbly. The young man raised his hand to look at Zhang Weixian and asked, "Brother Zhang, how are you listening?"
Zhang Weixian said: "Back to the young master, Jin Guoqin's envoy is scheduled to cross the lake overnight tonight, and Duan Commander's envoy will arrive in more than an hour." This time, in the name of welcoming the envoy of Jin Guoqin, he searched all the way, so he came late. ”
That young man was Lu Guanying, the son of Lu Chengfeng, the young owner of Guiyunzhuang and the fourth apprentice of Huang Yaoshi.
Jia Liyu suddenly remembered something and looked up at the top of the boat.
