Wei'er Daqi: "It's obviously rice, why is it called corn?"

Zhou Shanren glanced at Zhou Fu, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

Zhou Lang's face was flushed after drinking, but he was still sober, and he also said with a smile: "Sister Wei'er doesn't know, this corn is not the other corn." This rice was born on a small island in the Red Sea, and my father also discovered it by accident, only this one, and there is no trace of it elsewhere!

My father chartered the whole island that year, specially hired people to cultivate and cultivate, and then transported back to Bailuan by big ship, and then sent to Lanyue City with a nineteen-force rice car, just for transportation, the price of this rice has reached five taels of silver a liter, and a bucket of rice costs fifty taels of silver, which is comparable to the preciousness of gold and jade, so it is called Taicang corn. ”

Wei'er couldn't help but be speechless: "Wow! It's so expensive! But what is a nineteen-mile rice car?"

Zhou Lang said with a smile: "From the rice ashore to the rice warehouse, there are nineteen post stations in the middle, and each post station changes horses once, which is called Yili." ”

Xiaobao sighed: "Then it's no wonder that this rice is as expensive as gold and jade!"

Wei'er frowned and asked, "Can anyone buy such expensive rice?"

Zhou Fu laughed: "The dignitaries of Lanyue City are proud to eat Taicang corn every day, and every time the rice cart arrives, it is sold out, if it is not for the old man to keep some privately, Miss is afraid that she will not be able to eat the first rice in the world recently!"

Zhou Shanren smiled: "If your niece likes it, she can stay with her uncle for a long time in the future, and your uncle will definitely want you to eat this Taicang corn for three meals a day!"

The meaning of these words is already obvious to recruit a daughter-in-law, of course Wei'er can hear it, and stuck out her tongue: "Uncle can't let Wei'er be a luxury lady, this bowl of rice is on the top of the poor family's livelihood for a year, Wei'er can't afford to eat, it's enough to satisfy her hunger occasionally!"

Zhou Shanren was stunned for a moment, his face flashed with sorrow, and he said with a dry smile: "Okay, it's rare for my niece to have compassion for heaven and kindness, but it's my old man who is too talkative, drinking and drinking!"

This Zhou family's father and son now know that they have met a master, seeing that this little treasure is young, but the amount of wine is indeed so profound, Zhou Shanren felt a little dizzy, and Zhou Lang was even worse, and even spoke a little rapping.

The housekeeper still abides by his duty and doesn't dare to drink more, which is a little better than the two of them.

Xiaobao was completely fine, and followed everyone to raise their glasses frequently. Zhou Lang didn't dare to take the initiative to toast anymore, if he knew that Xiaobao had dragon snake fruit in his body that could cure all kinds of poisons, and the hangover was not a problem, and he had a colorful Yuan Dan body protector on his body, drinking wine was like drinking water, and he wouldn't dare to fight with Xiaobao if he was killed!

Zhou Lang grabbed Xiaobao's hand and said drunkenly: "Little brother, wait a minute, I'll go back to the inn with you, you introduce me to you, those friends are all chivalrous, Zhou has the heart to accept it, I don't know if it's okay?"

Before Xiaobao could speak, Wei'er smiled and said, "Brother Zhou wants to see Sister Xuan'er, right?"

Zhou Lang's face suddenly turned even redder, his eyes dodged Wei'er, and he waved his hand and said, "Anywhere, I want to see you!"

Wei'er was about to tell Diexuan about her relationship with Xiaobao, but Xiaobao secretly pinched her slender hand under the table, Wei'er's heart trembled, and she didn't say anything more.

Xiaobao said to him with a smile: "The eldest brother is willing to promote our group of mountain villagers, how dare Xiaobao disobey." ”

Zhou Shanren said lightly to Zhou Lang: "You still have something to do at night, don't drink the wine." ”

When Zhou Lang heard this, his face sank, he took another sip of the wine glass, and said to Zhou Shanren without raising his head: "Dad, can I not go?"

Zhou Shanren frowned, wanted to get angry but held back, and snorted coldly: "Can't! offend him, our Zhou family can't afford it!"

Zhou Lang put the cup on the table heavily, and said hatefully: "There is a moon mansion that is not needed, but it has come to loot us businessmen! This is to send silver and give it away, and we are really fat pigs tied to a tree, and anyone can come and cut a piece of meat!"

Zhou Shanren was furious: "Lang'er, you are drunk!

Zhou Lang snorted, flicked the wine glass to the side, and said loudly: "I'm not drunk! What's wrong with the prince of Zhenjiang? You can fish and flesh the people at will? He said that he wants silver taels, and each of the three major families in Lanyue City is at least three thousand taels, which is not enough for you to spend all the way?"

Now he wants to forcibly accept me as a righteous son, and the good thing is that he will carry me into the palace for a year and enjoy endless glory and wealth, but in fact he is used as a hostage, for fear that we will leak the news! If we can't see this kind of intention, we really can't be fools!"

Zhou Shanren didn't get angry, his face was gloomy, and he sighed: "Lang'er, we are businessmen, we must take a long-term view, not just stare at the present." The prince of Zhenjiang is in a high position, and if he can climb this big tree, the Zhou family will have countless glory in the future!

He will leave in a few days, we just need to wait for these few days, and when he is gone, we will give him more silver, and you will pretend to be sick for a few more days, I don't think he will have to force you to go with him, and when he returns to the palace safely, I am afraid that he will not give us some benefits for these meritorious men?

You must know that he is the younger brother of Emperor Yin, and if something is plucked out of his teeth, it will be enough for us to eat for a few years!"

Zhou Lang snorted coldly: "Is it good to serve these days? He is a prince, but he does not dare to alarm the government, there must be an ulterior secret! I heard that the green forest thief Huang Quan has come to Lanyue City, and there are also the thirteen Taibao, and even the star thief is here, these people must have come for him!"

There must be some treasure on this prince, provoked these green forest characters to travel a long distance to come to Lanyue City, I am afraid that the name of this Zhenjiang prince will scare us ordinary people, but I can't stop these green forest heroes..."

"Lang'er!" Zhou Shanren shouted loudly, and said to Zhou Fu, the housekeeper next to him: "The young master is drunk, help him to the inner room to rest!"

The housekeeper hurriedly got up and just walked to Zhou Lang's side, but was pushed away by Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang grabbed the wine glass and said to the person next to him, "Pour me wine!" I'm not drunk, I still want to drink. Seeing the little brother today, I am very happy in my heart, I Zhou Lang wants to be like you, fighting swords and rivers and lakes, and acting wantonly, but... I... I really can't...", his eyes turned red as he spoke, and his tone choked up.

Zhou Shanren knocked down the wine glass in Zhou Lang's hand, grabbed his arm with his right hand, and sent him to the housekeeper, and said with a straight face: "Send him back to the room, let the kitchen cook some kudzu soup, and sober him up!"

Zhou Lang shouted: "I'm not going back! I'm not drunk!" but he was weakly supported by the housekeeper and walked away, disappearing into the corridor in front of the pavilion.

After this trouble, the three of them lost their interest, and after a dull meal, Xiaobao and Wei'er got up to say goodbye, and Zhou Shanren did not stay, and personally sent the two out of the house.

Wei'er whispered to Xiaobao: "Brother, you said that the prince of Zhenjiang is so mysterious, could it be that he really found some treasure?"

Xiaobao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Go back and ask Wu'er and Xuan'er, maybe they can figure out a clue. ”

Wei'er hugged Xiaobao's arm, pouted and begged: "Good brother, Wei'er has been sitting all morning, and she already feels bored, can you accompany Wei'er to take a walk around Lanyue City?"

Xiaobao scratched her nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Then why not? ”

When the two of them first came to Lanyue City, they didn't know where to play, so they just wandered aimlessly on the streets.

Wei'er looked at the rows of shops and crowds in the city, and said excitedly: "This place is much more lively than Caixia Town!"

Xiaobao also entered the city with a mountain cannon, and he had never seen the world: "Yes, the city lord here is two levels higher than the county commander of Caixia Town!"

Wei'er stuck out her tongue: "Whatever, there's a rouge stall there, let's take a look!"

Wei'er stood next to the rouge stall, holding a pink wooden box, and screamed: "Wow, there is also an eyebrow pencil, and a lip blush, brother, look at this fat powder, how slippery!"

The stall owner was a young woman in her thirties, looking at Wei'er and smiling: "Girl, this fat powder is ground with pearls, it is genuine, a box of money is my money, and it is applied to the girl's face, so that this little official will see it, and I want to hold you every day and not let go!"

Wei'er blushed, remembering that a few days ago, Diexuan said that there was not much entanglement, so she reluctantly put down the wooden box and said, "I'll take a look, I won't buy it." ”

Xiaobao took out five cents and handed it to the woman, picked up the wooden box and said, "As long as Wei'er likes it, my brother will buy it." ”

Wei'er was so happy that she hugged Xiaobao's arm, and wanted to kiss Ailang but remembered that on the street, her pretty face was crimson, her eyes were full of spring, and she looked at Xiaobao and whispered to him: "I know that my brother loves Wei'er the most." ”

The girl's delicate appearance even stunned the woman next to her, and she exclaimed: "What a pair of golden boys and girls! My crazy woman has lived for half her life, and I have never seen such a handsome girl and son, what a match made in heaven!"

Xiaobao looked at the woman when she heard this, and saw that although she had passed her twenties, her appearance was also charming, her eyebrows were full of spring, her exposed skin was fine and tender, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were almost invisible.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Childe is praising me for my delicate skin, not like I have experienced wind and frost? Haha, then I have to thank Childe for his good words! The slave family is doing this beauty business, and it will naturally be conditioned, Childe bought this fat powder lipstick, and went back to dress up this young lady, that is, in another twenty years, it will be the same as it is today, do you believe it or not?"

Xiaobao looked at the woman like a person who had never seen the world, and she had no scruples about talking to her, and she was quite in love. You must know that in today's world, women should smile without showing their teeth, and laughing like this woman is also immoral, but Xiaobao is pure-minded, not only does not feel awkward, but is happy, and is more willing to be close, and smiles at the moment: "Then shouldn't I be your business for twenty years?"

The woman smiled and said, "Every day against you, a pair of jade people who are perfectly matched, I will be blessed to look at it for another twenty years!"

Seeing that Xiaobao was chatting happily with the woman, Wei'er couldn't help but feel a little surprised, pouting and saying, "Brother, let's go somewhere else to play, I don't know where to play in this Lanyue City?"

The woman looked at Wei'er and smiled: "The girl is not a local, is she? At this time, I was watching the dragon boat! Go 500 meters along this road, there is the Shadow Moon Bridge, where there is a dragon boat competition, you two can go to see the excitement." ”

Xiaobao arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

The woman hid her mouth and laughed: "Don't call me any sister-in-law, the slave family has not yet allowed me to be married, others call me a crazy woman, and the two of you call me the same!"

Xiaobao frowned, this woman is also good-looking, not too old, and has a cheerful personality, why is she called such a nickname?

The woman laughed: "This little brother is really good at coaxing his daughter's family, this sister is comfortable to listen to!"

Wei'er was about to speak, but she heard a loud shout behind her: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the uncle!" Four bearded men carried a sedan chair and swaggered from the street!
