Inside Childe Ka's mansion.

In the middle of the night, in the main hall of the mansion, there is an endless stream of wine and meat, laughter and laughter.

Under dozens of candlelights, seventeen or eighteen men hugged the beauty beside them while drinking and talking.

The youngest of these men is no more than ten years old, and the oldest is in his thirties, but without exception, they are all revealing their true nature.

There are saints in the world, but there are truly saints who have no desires and no desires, and there are few people in the world.

Talented scholars are eager for fame and fortune and status, and other ordinary scholars are even more eager and demanding, people live for a lifetime, and who doesn't like beauty and money.

On the main hall.

Gongzi Jia hugged the beautiful concubine, and after three rounds of drinking, he was thirty years old, and he was also a little drunk.

These men in the main hall were all guests of his banquet, including the children of the scholars who offered food today, the children of the scholars and officials in Handan City, and some famous scholars from Han Wei.

For those scholars who offer food, for the elderly, Gongzi Jia respects him, and for those young people brought by the old man, Gongzi Jia will not slack off.

After all, one day, these young scholars will take over the clan behind them.

"Well, Wu Cheng is back!"

Gongzijia suddenly saw Wu Cheng coming back, and hurriedly laughed.

"Sit down, come back!"

Gongzijia burped and was about to turn his head and tell the maid to hurry up and put on another banquet.

However, I heard Wu Cheng speak.

"Childe, Wu Cheng has something to say!"

When Gongzijia heard Wu Cheng's words, he noticed Wu Cheng's solemn face at this time.

Some doubts, didn't Wu Cheng go to see the child surnamed Xu? Why did he come back like this, but Gongzijia still waved his hand and motioned for Wu Cheng to step forward and speak.

"Wu Cheng, come on, come on, drink!"

Liang Jin was already drunk, and staggered to Wu Cheng with a glass of wine.

However, at this time, Wu Cheng was still in the mood to ignore Liang Jin, and after bowing his hand to Liang Jin, he bypassed Liang Jin and walked towards Gongzijia.

The guards on both sides of the main hall did not stop Wu Cheng because they saw Gongzi Jia's demeanor.

Liang Jin's face was flushed, he stood in place with a glass of wine, turned his head and looked at the departing Wu Cheng hazy, and before Liang Jin's mind turned around, he saw the woman who was just holding him step forward to support him.

Liang Jin's face immediately raised a smile, completely forgetting about Wu Cheng's matter.

On the main hall.

Wu Cheng came to Gongzijia, and after a maid gave way, Wu Cheng knelt down and whispered in Gongzijia's ear about what happened in the Red Attic.

Listening and listening, Gongzi Jia's eyes widened visibly, and the alcohol disappeared.

5,000 stones!

Today, he gathered in Han and Wei, so many famous families, only to gather more than 8,000 stones, then Xu Zixiao alone, there are 5,000 stones.

After Wu Cheng finished reporting, he looked at Gongzi Jia.

Wu Cheng didn't expect that Xu Zixiao had so much grain and grass, but the more grain and grass Xu Zixiao had, the more good things it was for him.

Because no one else suggested contacting Xu Zixiao at the beginning, he went alone, and he also wrote a letter asking Princess Zhao Qiu to go with him.

If not.

That Xu Zixiao will definitely not say that there is food in his hand.

"Childe. Princess Zhao Qiu ordered Wu Cheng to come over, and Yan Gongzi paid two hundred and fifty gold. ”

Wu Cheng said.

For this money, even if Wu Chengdu couldn't help but take a breath, then Xu Zixiao really made a fortune this time, the grain and grass of five thousand stones on weekdays was only eighteen gold, but now it was sent to Zhao State, but it was two hundred and fifty gold.

This time, the extra two hundred and thirty gold out of thin air was completely unearned, like picking up.

"Take me to him!"

Gongzijia heard Wu Cheng's words, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to get up and go to Xu Zixiao.

Two hundred and fifty gold, the price is too high, he can't afford it at all.

Even if he could come up with this gold, he would still need entertainment, expenses, and even food in the future, how could he still afford it.

"No!"

Wu Cheng heard Gongzijia's words and nodded hurriedly.

After Wu Cheng got up, he saw that Gongzijia had already gotten up.

In the main hall, everyone who was still drinking and talking happily saw this scene and was full of puzzlement.

Gongzijia made an excuse and said that he would leave for a while, and the others would resume laughing.

Under candlelight.

Bai Yan is writing bamboo slips.

Every time he led his troops on the way, he rarely had time to write bamboo slips and find an opportunity for the Lu clan to send them to the Qi Kingdom.

Now that he has come to Handan, he is idle and idle, he wants to write more to make up for Tian Feiyan.

"Gentleman, Gongzi Jia is asking to see you outside the mansion!"

Outside the study, the voice of karma suddenly came.

Hearing karma's words, Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the door, a little unresponsive.

Childe Ka?

Bai Yan even wondered if he had heard it wrong, knowing that the purpose of his coming to Handan was for Gongzi Jia.

Turning his head to look out the window, the moon was in the sky.

It's late at night.

How did Childe Jia end up here? And he came to his own mansion.

Accompanied by doubts, the next moment, a person appeared in Bai Yan's mind.

Princess Zhao, Zhao Qiu!

Without writing any more bamboo slips, Bai Yan got up, came to the door and opened the door.

"Let's go!"

Bai Yan looked at the industry, spoke, and motioned to lead the way.

Ye nodded, took the candle lamp, turned around and walked towards the outside of the mansion with Bai Yan.

This mansion was bought by Bai Yan from an official at a low price after he came to Handan, and even the maids and servants in the mansion bought one and got one free.

The reason is that the drought in Zhao State, the rise in grain, there is no surplus grain, seeing that the money is constantly squandered by the wife and children, the officials are distressed, so they send their wives and children away from Handan, so that they can not only reduce expenses, but also have more money to enjoy in Handan City.

Outside the mansion.

When Bai Yan came to the outside of the mansion, he saw a carriage parked at the door under the moonlight.

Several figures were waiting in place.

Seeing the two black shadows stepping forward, Bai Yan frowned slightly, why didn't Gongzi Jia bring a few maids to take charge of the lamp?

"Junzi Xu, this is Gongzi Zhao Jia."

Under the faint candlelight of Ye, Wu Cheng stepped forward, bowed his hand to Bai Yan, and then introduced Bai Yan to the people behind him.

At this time.

Bai Yan also saw that under the candlelight, a thirty-year-old man appeared in front of him.

"Jia, I've seen Junzi Xu!"

Gongzijia didn't wait for Bai Yan to speak, so he took the lead in saluting, and his tone was very polite.

When Gongzijia gave his salute, Wu Cheng on the side was also telling Bai Yan that Gongzijia was at the banquet, and when he learned about Bai Yan, he immediately rushed here, and he didn't even bother to wear shoes.

Bai Yan looked along the line of sight, and sure enough, he saw Gongzijia's two feet, all wearing cloth and no shoes.

"Xu Zixiao, meet Childe!"

Bai Yan hurriedly bowed his hand, and after the salute, he hurriedly looked at Gongzijia excitedly: "Why does Childe need to be like this, how can Xu Zixiao let Childe be like this." ”

Bai Yan said, took off his shoes, and hurriedly put them at Gongzijia's feet.

Gongzijia wants to act and be famous, and wants to use this kind of behavior to make him obedient and convinced.

Bai Yan saw through it and didn't say it.

Childe Jia craves fame right now, and so does he.

"No!"

Gongzijia hurriedly excused himself.

In the end, Bai Yan and Gongzijia argued for a while, and after Wu Cheng's encouragement, Gongzijia had to put on shoes and enter the mansion with Bai Yan.

Inside the mansion.

The maid had already prepared the tea, which was lit by a few candles.

Bai Yan knelt in the main hall with Gongzi Jia and Wu Cheng, looking at each other.

Bai Yan realized at this time that the person behind Wu Cheng was not Princess Zhao Qiu, but Gongzi Jia!

Although he didn't understand why it was Zhao Qiu who went to the Red Loft at night, Bai Yan was still relieved when he saw Gongzijia.

Bai Yan was also very worried in his heart before, after all, he didn't take the route arranged by Yingzheng, and after coming to Handan, he didn't make contact with the Qin State in detail, nor did he go to those officials of the Zhao State.

In order to lower Gongzi Jia's vigilance, he didn't even let Jue and Ye go to inquire about Gongzi Jia's news.

So all along, he wasn't sure how long it would take to see Childe Jia.

"Childe came in a hurry, is it for the five thousand stone rice millet?"

After Bai Yan saw the maid pouring tea for Gongzi Jia, he asked softly.

See Wu Cheng.

Bai Yan could roughly guess that Gongzi Jia must have come for the five thousand stones of grain and grass.

"Don't hide it from the gentleman, Jia heard that the gentleman has five thousand stone of grain in his hands, and he is ecstatic, my Zhao country has a disaster, the fields are not harvested, and the people are displaced, if you get the grain of five thousand stones, it will be like charcoal in the snow for the Zhao country."

Gongzi Jia arched his hand to Bai Yan and said.

Under candlelight.

Gongzijia said slowly, Bai Yan listened quietly,

Seeing Gongzi Jiarao, he was a big circle, and finally when it came to the matter of the two hundred and fifty gold, Bai Yan was not surprised.

If it weren't for the two hundred and fifty gold, maybe Gongzi Jia wouldn't have appeared here right now, after all, he had already agreed to trade with Zhao Qiu, and Zhao Qiu and Wu Cheng didn't know that there were tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass in his hands, or even more.

"I also hope that the gentleman can be accommodating and can sell grain for double the money."

Gongzijia bowed to him, his words were sincere, and his face was frank.

Bai Yan took the tea and took a sip.

I have to say that the first time he contacted this Gongzi Jia, the other party's cheekiness was really beyond his expectations, first he came without shoes, and then he talked about the price and directly cut it twice.

"Childe!"

Bai Yan sighed, bowed his hand to Gongzijia, and then shook his head helplessly: "Gongzi Xiaozhi moves with reason, Zixiao is silent, and Zixiao also has difficulties." ”

Wooden table.

When Wu Cheng heard Bai Yan's words, he looked at Bai Yan with surprise.

He didn't expect that Xu Zixiao would not let go when he saw Gongzijia coming in person, and he didn't even wear shoes.

Childe Jia was also stunned.

Obviously, Gongzijia didn't expect this young Xu Zixiao to not enter the oil and salt.

Under the gaze of Gongzi Jia and Wu Cheng.

Bai Yan seemed to be embarrassed, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.

"Childe is like this, if Zixiao collects money from Childe again, Zixiao will be an unrighteous person, now Zixiao has decided to leave Zhao Kingdom first and discuss with the elders, what do you think, Childe?"

Bai Yan thought for a while and said to Gongzijia: "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, Zixiao will definitely give Gongzi two hundred stones of grain and grass, and will never charge half a penny or half a gold!" ”

The voice fell.

Gongzijia narrowed his eyes and hurriedly waved his hand.

Gongzijia knew that he was here to persuade Xu Zixiao to ask for less money, not to drive Xu Zixiao away.

Although two hundred stones is a lot, compared to five thousand stones, Gongzi Jia still knows the severity.

However, Xu Zixiao's two hundred and fifty gold is too much.

Come to think of it.

Gongzijia looked at Wu Cheng beside him, he really didn't expect this situation, this Xu Zixiao said and said, as soon as he talked about the price, he was going to leave Handan and go back to discuss, how could he talk about it.

"Xu Junzi, please be blunt, how much less can it be this time?"

Wu Cheng saw Gongzijia's gaze and knew that this was an opportunity for him to perform, so he looked at Bai Yan and took the lead in speaking.

Bai Yan heard Wu Cheng's words, pondered for a moment, and shook his head at Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, Bai Yan looked at Gongzi Jia.

"Childe treats me like this, and Zixiao will have something to say."

After Bai Yan gave up his hand, he raised another hand and signaled Gongzi Jia to come to him barefoot, he saw it really and remembered it in his heart.

Seeing Bai Yan like this, Gongzi Jia immediately sat up straight and listened to what Bai Yan was going to say.

"Zixiao's trip, in fact, he wants to sell grain and grass, not five thousand!"

Bai Yan looked at Gongzijia, turned his head to look around, and saw if there were any Tibetans under the candlelight, and then whispered to Gongzijia.

"It's thirty thousand!"

Bai Yan said.

One word.

In an instant, Gongzi Jia stood up.

"What?"

Gongzijia opened his mouth wide and looked at this young man named Xu Zixiao in disbelief.

30,000 stone of rice millet !!

This.

Gongzi Jia was stunned, completely covered in place, he couldn't believe that this Xu Zixiao actually had so much grain and grass.

Wu Cheng on the side also looked at Bai Yan with a dull expression, and even wondered if his ears were wrong.

Inside the main hall.

Bai Yan looked at the appearance of Gongzijia and Wu Cheng, and did not speak in a hurry, but patiently waited for the two to calm down.

After a few breaths, Gongzi Jia, who was in a trance, gradually calmed down.

"Zixiao's words are true?"

Childe Jia asked with a serious face.

Wu Cheng was on the side, breathing a little fast, looking at Bai Yan, he didn't expect that when he was in the Red Attic, this Xu Zixiao didn't tell the truth to Princess Zhao Qiu.

Not five thousand stones at all.

but there were 30,000 stone of grain and grass.

If it weren't for Gongzijia coming barefoot tonight and moving this Xu Zixiao, I'm afraid that this Xu Zixiao would turn his head and sell the rest of the grain and grass to others.

"If it weren't for that, how could Zixiao say that he would go back to the clan to discuss with his father."

Bai Yan sighed.

When Gongzijia heard Bai Yan's words, his face changed, and his expression repeated for a while.

"Dare to ask Zixiao's family, where can they take out 30,000 grains and grass, and if Zixiao leaves, will they come again?"

Gongzijia looked at Bai Yan, full of nervousness.

He already raised a lot of grain and grass, and if he got these 30,000 grains and grass, it would be enough for him to do a lot of things, and even operate well, not only in the court, but also in the hearts of the people, which would increase several times.

"When Qin attacked Zhao, he could send grain to Zhao, no matter whether this matter could be done or not, why should Gongzi care where the Xu family was, as for whether Zixiao would come back after leaving Handan, Fang Cai Zixiao said that even if he didn't go back, he would send two hundred stones to Gongzi's mansion."

Bai Yan said with a smile in the face of Gongzijia's inquiry.

"This"

Childe Jia's brows furrowed slightly, and it was only at this time that Childe Jia also realized that his inquiry was very abrupt.

The Xu family's 30,000 stone grain millet, if it is really sent to Zhao State, it will undoubtedly offend Qin State, at this time, ask where the Xu family is, and be a fool to be someone else.

Come to think of it.

Gongzijia sighed, because he wanted to send someone to go back with this Xu Zixiao.

Inside the main hall.

After Gongzijia's mood calmed down, he continued to sit on the straw mat, and in the dim light, his hands on his thighs were clenched.

He must take the 30,000 stone of grain and grass.

But if it was according to the previous price, he would have to come up with 1,500 gold, which was too huge, and now he couldn't take it out at all.

"Rong Jia thinks about it for two days, Zixiao is playing in Handan, in order to show his gratitude, tomorrow Jia will send two beauties over for Zixiao to have fun!"

Gongzijia said to Bai Yan, first appease this Xu Zixiao, he wants to go to Zhao Qiu to discuss, how to eat the 30,000 stone grain millet.

Bai Yan got up and bowed his hand to Gongzi Jia.

Outside the mansion.

Bai Yan put Gongzijia into the carriage and stood in place, watching the carriage leave.

This Gongzi Jia really thought the same as he thought, and when he knew that there was more grain and grass, he didn't dare to negotiate lightly.

These 30,000 stone grain millet, Gongzi Jia will definitely not let go, and Gongzi Jia, who can't get the money, will have to pay for things sooner or later.

"Zhao Qiu, Zhao Jia, Wu Yun!"

Bai Yan muttered.

Turning his head, he walked back into the mansion.

Gongzijia has already entered the urn, and he only needs to come step by step.

What really made Bai Yan curious was that Wu Yun was the Wu family of Xingyang, and Wu Yun knew Zhao Qiu, and Zhao Qiu called Gongzi Jia again.

remembered his previous speculation about Wu Yunru's purpose in Handan.

Bai Yan had a hunch that behind this Gongzi Jia and Zhao Qiu, there must be an anti-Qin organization, and the anti-Qin forces in the world are connected to them.

Perhaps it is these scholars who will secretly disturb the situation in the world in the future.

"It's interesting, I just don't know if there is a chance to contact them!"

Bai Yan thought in his heart.
