It is a rather imposing mansion, with two large stone lions sitting in front of the door, and the two doors are also vermilion and gold nails.

Wu Nian raised his eyebrows, according to the rules of the Great Chu State.

The gate of this mansion has been transgressed.

It is not a luxury gate that a merchant can have.

Looking at the leopard in the tube, this person named Zhang Shiping is probably also a very presumptuous person.

The door of the house was open, and there was a team of soldiers with bears and tigers, holding the handle of the knife at their waists, standing guard in high spirits, showing vigilance to the passers-by around.

"Where are the idle people, don't linger here." A knife-wielding soldier scolded Wu Nian and the others.

This attitude is really unpleasant. Zhang Jin and Long He all showed angry faces, and everyone was about to move.

Wu Nian calmed down and waved his hand to calm everyone down. Then he came forward, hugged his fists and said: "I am Wu Nian, the acting general banner of Beishan Fort, and I have come to visit Mr. Zhang Shiping." Please also ask the strong man to pass it on. ”

After that, Wu Nian took the initiative to take out a large silver ingot and handed it to the soldier without changing his face.

He is not a simple reckless man, but also knows the sophistication of human feelings.

Moreover, there is no need to have a general insight with a gatekeeper.

This soldier is not aimed at Wu Nian, and the brigade that passes by, they will all scold. When he saw the silver, he immediately smiled. He clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be Lord Zongqi." Please wait. I'm going to report to my lord. ”

He first stuffed the silver into his bosom, turned and walked in.

The rest of the soldiers saw that they had the silver, and they looked at the eyes of Wu Nian and the others, and they were also much kinder.

Wu Nian and the others waited in front of this gate.

Wu Nian reached out and took a sheepskin water bag from a baggage cart, and drank it to his mouth. I wondered in my heart, what should I say after seeing Zhang Shiping for a while.

The Zhang family's mansion is not only magnificent, but also luxurious and huge, it is a five-entry mansion, which is two more than the three-entry mansion of Wu Nian.

Among them, there are many family soldiers standing guard or patrolling, and each family soldier is a bear's waist and tiger back, with a murderous aura between his eyebrows, and he does not seem to be an idle person.

All in all, strong and heavily guarded.

Inside the study.

Zhang Shiping was talking to a literati.

Zhang Shiping is forty years old this year, and he has a donkey face, which is a little funny, but his eyes are bright and energetic, his figure is quite strong, and his body exudes a capable atmosphere.

The people who can mix in this Liaodong are not idle people. Zhang Shiping is a rich generation, when he was young, he was a ginseng visitor on Changbai Mountain, digging wild ginseng, and also a part-time hunter, in short, he did what he saw on the mountain.

In seventeen or eighteen years, the current foundation has been created.

The literati were about 30 years old, white and clean, with a three-inch long beard, a blue robe, and a square scarf on his head.

Zhang Shiping sits, and the scribe stands.

"Sir. The soldiers in front of the house came to report, and there was a Wu Nian who claimed to be the acting general banner of Beishan Fort and asked to see him. A house slave came to the door of the study, did not dare to go in, and reported loudly.

"Wu Nian?" Zhang Shiping's eyes flickered, and then he raised his head and said to the scribe: "Half of Zhang is the enemy, and he intercepted a group of people in the north. ”

When Zhang Shiping said this, his eyes rolled slightly, and there was something haunting in his heart. He raised his head tentatively and said duplicitously, "Do you want to take the opportunity to kill him?" ”

"Don't. Now is the critical moment, so there is no need to make extraneous branches. Just Beishan Fort, waiting for our people to go south, it is just a speck of dust, which will be swept away. The scribe's face was proud.

The scribe was Han Chinese, named Qian Guangyuan. This is a poor talent, not very good at reading, but he has a bit of cleverness and strategy, and is currently working under Meng Yuanren.

"That's what Mr. Qian said." Zhang Shiping's attitude was respectful, and he patted his ass a little. Then the sneaky heart rose again, and he tentatively said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Deal with it and send this man away." Qian Guangyuan's attitude towards Zhang Shiping was very useful, and he said without thinking.

In the past, he was nothing, but now he is with Meng Yuanren, who is a tiger with wings and can fly. Even a big businessman like Zhang Shiping has to look at his face.

That's how a husband should be, happy.

When Qian Guangyuan thought of this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and his attitude became more and more proud.

"Good. I'll go. Zhang Shiping respectfully agreed, then stood up and greeted the house slave outside the door, walked out of the door of the study with his head held high, and went to the hall.

Qian Guangyuan didn't take it seriously, but after Zhang Shiping left, after a while, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after him.

Outside the door. Wu Nian, who was waiting for the news, was invited in. Just in case, he took Zhang Jin with him and did not remove the saber.

After coming to the hall and sitting for a while, Wu Nian saw Zhang Shiping walk in from outside.

"But Mr. Zhang?" Wu Nian hurriedly stood up and politely bowed his hand.

"It's Zhang Shiping." Zhang Shiping looked Wu Nian up and down for a while before he returned the salute with his fists. Immediately, Zhang Shiping came to the main seat and sat down, and Wu Nian also sat back.

At this time, Qian Guangyuan walked in from outside. Zhang Shiping glanced at him and introduced with a smile: "This is my Mr. Xixi, Qian Guangyuan." ”

"Mr. Money." Wu Nian politely hugged his fists again.

"Lord Wu." Qian Guangyuan was also very polite, and then came to stand behind Zhang Shiping, and took in everything in the hall with a pair of eyes.

"Lord Wu. I am in the northeast of Liaoning, Beishan Fort is in the southeast of Liao, the two of us can't fight together, you came to me all the way, is there something wrong? Zhang Shiping asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang's expectations are not bad, I do have a request for Mr." Wu Nian took a deep breath, and then said sincerely: "My wife at home is frail and sickly, and she needs a hundred years of wild ginseng to recuperate. And Mr. Zhang is the largest ginseng merchant in Liaodong, so he came to visit. ”

Zhang Shiping and Qian Guangyuan both showed surprise.

Wu Nian didn't say it was a concubine, only a wife.

In this world, it is rare for a husband to buy a century-old wild ginseng for his wife.

"This guy is a sentimental guy." Zhang Shiping and Qian Guangyuan said secretly in their hearts.

"Lord Wu is really a husband, and it is a blessing for Mrs. Zun. It's just a pity. Hundred-year-old wild ginseng, I don't have it here. This thing is only in the hands of the imperial palace of Chu or the nobles of Mengyuan. ”

Zhang Shiping sighed, shook his head and said.

Wu Nian's heart sank and became anxious.

Before coming, he had already made two preparations.

If Zhang Shiping is arrogant, then him.

But Zhang Shiping is surprisingly good at talking, and he claims to be no. Wu Nian believed a little in his heart.

Wu Nian's heart was heavy, if there was no hundred-year-old wild ginseng, then Chen's body would be .......

"That's right. Then I bothered. After a while, Wu Nian came to his senses, took a deep breath, said in a heavy tone, and stood up.

"Wait." Zhang Shiping stopped Wu Nian, Qian Guangyuan's eyes immediately flickered, and he looked at Zhang Shiping, full of warning.

"Sir, do you have any other news about the 100-year-old wild ginseng? Please let me know and I will thank you again. Wu Nian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said.

"What's the news. It's just that Lord Wu came to my house, and I didn't even take a sip of tea, which is really rude. Please wait. ”

Zhang Shiping shook his head, posed as a master, raised his head and said loudly: "Come on, serve tea." ”

"Yes." A house slave answered and walked in with a plate with two cups of tea.

Wu Nian was a little impatient, but Zhang Shiping's attitude was very good, and he didn't want to attack for this little thing, so he pressed it down.

"Thank you." Wu Nian hugged his fists and thanked him, and then reached out to take the tea cup brought by the house slave. Wu Nian's expression moved, and there was one more thing in his palm, boxy, which seemed to be a note.

"What?!" Wu Nian said secretly in his heart.

Don't panic when you encounter something, Wu Nian calmed down completely, and quietly ate the teacup.
