The middle-aged Taoist priest said: "Certainly, definitely, Boss Xiao doesn't need to be polite, if you have friends who want to buy, I will definitely introduce the 'Xiao's' Chamber of Commerce." And he paid the silver ticket.

The fat man took the money, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "The new mansion of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce is on sale today, it is of good quality and low price, can you buy it?"

Suddenly, I saw a man and a woman, I saw it just now, why are they still here?

"Little brother, buy it or not, this house is definitely worth the money. ”

He smiled without worry: "Second Uncle Xiao, you are really good at business, and your fortune has been sent to the monks." ”

When the fat man heard this, he pushed the 'erbeard' on his eyes up, stared at it, and felt that this young man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Are you?" the fat man was not sure.

"Second Uncle Xiao, you are really a noble person who forgets things, even I don't remember. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and he already held a small bronze card in his palm, which was given to him by Xiao Yun at that time, and holding this token was equivalent to the second shopkeeper of any property under Xiao Yun's name.

The fat man's eyes lit up and said: "Ouch, I remembered, no worries, people are fat and their brains are not good, blame me for blaming me, why are you here?"

Wu Wu said: "Collect medicine in the forest and stroll here." ”

Which is this fat man, it is none other than Xiao Jingzu, the second uncle of Xiao Yun, the righteous brother of Wushou, who is an imperial businessman. That day, Ji Mingyu repaired a book and sent it to Kyoto from Wuchou, Xiao Yun handed over his property to his second uncle Xiao Jingzu before going to Fuyun Palace. When Xiao Yun handed over the affairs of Yiying to the second uncle that day, he happened to be present without worry, and the two were naturally old acquaintances.

Xiao Jingzu shouted loudly: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang!"

In the distance, a bookkeeper in his fifties ran over quickly and said, "Second master, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Jingzu said: "I'm here for a distinguished guest, I'll leave it to you to take care of, the price of the house can't fall too much, so we have already set the price." ”

Lao Zhang said: "You can rest assured! I know." ”

Xiao Jingzu smiled with a smile, and said to Wuchou: "Please, please." I also looked at Xi Ouyi beside Wuxi, and saw that although she was wearing a wide men's dress, she still couldn't stop her pretty and delicate appearance, and said: "Ouch, which little girl is this, she looks like a little fairy." ”

Wu Wu said: "Xiao Chi, this is Second Uncle Xiao." ”

Xi Ouyi wanted to laugh when she saw the appearance of this fat man, and when she saw Wuchou, she gave her a look and said, "Hello Uncle Xiao! ”

Xiao Jingzu said: "Little girl is good. ”

Not long after, Xiao Jingzu took the two of them to the Xiao family's inn 'Heavenly Guest', and Xiao Jingzu ordered a maid to take Xi Ouyi to bathe and change clothes.

The two of them are old acquaintances, so naturally they don't need to be polite, and they don't have to worry about seeing Xiao Jingzu panting tired when they go upstairs, and said, "Second Uncle Xiao, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you rich again?"

Xiao Jingzu came to the second floor with Wuchou and sat down, he knew that Wuchou was not a mortal, and said: "Don't laugh at me, it stands to reason that since Yun Xiaozi handed over the business to me, I should lose weight after I am so busy, but somehow I am getting more and more obese, you don't know, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm going to work hard, your second uncle knows that you are not an ordinary person, you think of ideas for the second uncle, and you can reduce the burden of this body." ”

Wu Wu said: "This thing is easy, wrap it up on me, I will open the furnace to refine some medicine at night, and I promise to satisfy you." ”

Xiao Jingzu looked at what he said and said: "Then you can be careful, don't let your second uncle suffer, last time in Kyoto, it was the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace, that medicine, ouch, almost didn't let me leak out my internal organs, but you look at the current situation, it is even worse than then." ”

Wu Wu said: "My medicine is different from theirs, this rest assured, there will never be that kind of thing, their medicine is mainly cathartic, but I am the main consumer, they use fierce medicine to damage the internal organs, my medicine is eaten, but the effect of the drug is distributed around the body to consume its excess, will not hurt itself." ”

Xiao Jingzu said: "I'm relieved." ”

Wuchou asked again: "Second Uncle Xiao, why did you come here?"

Xiao Jingzu said: " Two months ago I was in Shandong territory business, when the fishermen were rumored to have found a fairy island overseas, even fishermen can enter, the governor of Shandong will report the matter, the court on the rock climbing attached to the people of the people, all said that it is the holy grace Qi Tian, the sky descended the fairy fate, said that there is a fairy medicine on this island, the saint believed that it is true, so he sent a messenger to lead 10,000 sailors from the Shandong boundary, to find the elixir of immortality, who knows the evil of the fierce beasts on the island, where mortals can come, 10,000 good men will be buried on the island, the holy dragon Yan was furious, will be a traitor are put into prison, I have some friendship with the messenger, then I also followed the boat, who knows that the boat I sit on encountered a big wind and waves, was swept to the south of the island, I found a river, up the river, then to this big city, not to tell you, your Uncle Xiao and I had an idea, then immediately ordered people to recruit craftsmen, mobilized the family of thirty large merchant ships, let them come here to repair the city wall, built a few mansions, this place is not under the control of the imperial court, we came early, occupy early, the land does not cost money, the wood is cut from the forest, we only pay some craftsmen's food and clothing and the hard money of the craftsmen, originally afraid that no one will buy, lose a fine light, who knows, came batch after batch of monks and Taoists, all rushed to buy, your Uncle Xiao and I hurriedly ordered people to build overnightAt first, they were flying around in the air, and we all regarded them as immortals, and then I learned that they were cultivators, and it turned out that cultivators also had to eat, dress, and housing, and I was afraid that they would rob them, but they were willing to talk very well and were willing to pay money to buy them. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingzu's mouth was dry, and he hurriedly poured him a cup of tea.

Xiao Jingzu continued: "Do you know why they are willing to pay for it and don't rob it?"

Wu Worry said: "You say, you say." ”

Xiao Jingzu said with a smile: "Don't look at these monks, but they don't know how to build civil engineering, and they are afraid of dirty, and they are afraid of doing these cheap jobs, building city walls, building houses, these all depend on us ordinary people, that is, there are too many monsters in the forest, and many people died when cutting wood, and then a few heads of cultivators came to me, saying that they are willing to send people to deal with monsters, we just need to repair the city walls, build houses, if someone robs them, they will also take care of them, so later I sent people to recruit many people, and they are getting bigger and bigger." ”

Xiao Jingzu's expression suddenly changed and said: "But now, your second uncle Xiao and I are afraid in my heart, I am afraid that one day this city will be built, and my life will not be guaranteed, don't look at those monks who are polite to me now, but we know in our hearts that we ordinary people are just animals that make cattle and horses for them in their eyes, and I can only advance and not retreat now!"
