Chapter 128: Are You Alone?
The road to Qingwa Village did not stop for a while, although the mule cart was slower, but the night road felt much faster than during the day.
Along the way, Qin Yuanfeng led the mule cart and rode a horse, Fang Qingying fell asleep in the mule cart, the swaying official road was much smoother, and there were more vehicles coming and going these days than in the past ten years combined.
After two days of walking, one night and one day, when the sky was bright, we arrived at the foot of Qingwazhai Mountain.
After getting out of the car, Fang Qingying was very keenly aware of the changes in Qingwa Village, but he couldn't tell what it was like.
"The carriage winds up from behind, and goes far from there." Qin Yuanfeng took out the whistle and blew it three times: "You just wait here, there will be a brother who will come down to pick you up in a while, there is no one in our cottage now, everyone is waiting at Jinghe Mansion, I will wait for Cao Zhirong at the foot of the mountain." ”
Fang Qingying nodded: "What can I do here?" ”
"Let's read a book on the mountain first, and then discuss it when the matter is done." Qin Yuanfeng sat directly in the car, closed his eyes and went to recuperate.
After a while, someone came to carry a bamboo chair and sedan chair to pick up Fang Qingying up the mountain.
At this time, Granny Xu and Ah Xiangke were so happy, they told Chun Niang to cook, and came over with hot water to bathe and change clothes for Fang Qingying, they were all cleaned up, Fang Qingying sat on the soft couch and read a book, and when Granny Xu and Chun Niang came over with food boxes, Fang Qingying asked: "Do you know that I am coming?" ”
"I know, when Brother Qin's whistle blows, the girl is back." Ah Xiang gave Fang Qingying a bowl of soup and put it on the table: "The people on the mountain haven't come back much in the back mountain, and it seems that there are only a few of us and the brothers who guard the mountain in front, a total of more than a dozen people." ”
Fang Qingying nodded, ate and drank to his heart's content, watched Ah Xiang and the three of them clean up the table, and took out the spices to repel mosquitoes and insects.
Looking at the book in his hand, Fang Qingying asked Ah Xiang to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, sat down and began to copy, a book is afraid of mistakes, so it is necessary to copy it a few times in the past few days and hide it.
From Qingwa Village to Jinghe Mansion, I don't know how many days it will be delayed, and then return to Qingwa Village, how can it take half a month, Duan Chengde If they go well, they should come back in about a month, the best result is that Duan Chengde They send the grain to the mountains and then it rains, so it is really foolproof.
When the Qingwa Village matter is completed, they have to trouble these people to pick up Duan Chengde and them, otherwise the heavy rain will fall in patches, and the food will not be safe.
It doesn't matter how Fang Qingying is outside, she lives a very clean life in the cottage, going to the medicinal herb warehouse for an hour or two every day, not blending fragrances, and practicing how to make herbs into poison that seals her throat with blood.
Benevolence is a soft place that will be handled by people in ordinary days, Fang Qingying believes that after this matter is completed, no matter whether there is news from Zhu Hengshan, Qin Yuanfeng and these people will escort the grain to Nanban.
Moreover, when Qin Yuanfeng talked to Cao Zhirong about the conditions, he said that when the grain was sent to the grain depot on Cao Zhirong's side, Cao Zhirong would give 1,000 taels of silver, and this yellow and white thing would be the most useful at any time.
These poisons of their own are gifts to Zhu Yuhong, those who go into battle to kill the enemy need to be ruthless, and there are words in ancient times that they are not in charge of soldiers and are good at business.
There are really few people in the cottage, and even the teenagers who originally dispensed medicine and perfume here are not there.
Fang Qingying will go to the field with Granny Xu, there are a lot of people in the field over there, everyone is waiting for the grain to be ripe and harvested back, and the harvest will start in mid-August, and it will be a matter of ten days, and this day is really fast. Duan Chengde: They should go to the capital.
Just when Fang Qingying was studying the poison, Duan Chengde and the others finally arrived in the capital.
"Brother Duan." Li Jinghe came over: "It's definitely not okay for so many carriages and horses to enter the city, this is not another place where the security is very high." ”
Duan Chengde had seen Fang Qingying before leaving, and Fang Qingying had explained to him at that time, and when he arrived in the capital to see what Li Jinghe said and how to do it, if it went well, these spices would definitely be sold quickly.
Therefore, as soon as Li Jinghe said this, Duan Chengde immediately agreed, and all the carriages and horses were parked in a small town near the imperial city, although the town was not big, the inn was not small, and there was a large courtyard to store so many carriages and goods.
When he didn't live in, Zhou Dalang went to inquire first, it turned out that there were many merchants living in the inns here, and few merchants with a lot of goods dared to enter the imperial city directly.
After settling down, Li Jinghe volunteered to go into the city.
Duan Chengde asked, "Are you doing it alone?" ”
"Okay, Brother Duan, don't worry, I met a few people last time I came, just give me a pack of spices." Li Jinghe said.
Duan Chengde admired Fang Qingying in his heart, he really didn't know how she guessed it, Li Jinghe's every move was as if she had seen it with her own eyes on the side.
took out a bag of spices that had been prepared a long time ago, Duan Chengde instructed Li Jinghe: "Our goods can't be cheap, send them here so far, you have to make a little more money, you are optimistic about the price and sell, if you sell it wrong, you will have to be a slave to the owner for a lifetime." ”
Li Jinghe patted his chest and promised: "Brother Duan, don't worry, we are not people who do loss-making business." ”
Duan Chengde watched Li Jinghe leave, and thought in his heart, if this spice is sent in and traded, he has to ask the owner if he will ask if he will ask Bu when he goes back, because this spice is also prepared by the owner for Li Jinghe in advance, it is just right every step, and the score is exactly right.
Duan Chengde went out to find a post house, the post house can not only live people, but also deliver letters, and when he found the post house, he went to the stall on the street to write letters on behalf of him, and wrote a letter to Fang Qingying.
After doing this, Duan Chengde asked the dart master to work in groups of three, taking turns to watch the goods, should eat, should rest, this long-distance journey day and night is really not easy.
Li Jinghe entered the capital and went straight to the Jin Palace, and before he could stand firm at the back door, he was pressed on the shoulder: "Yo, the little brother is here again?" What about the silver tael I said last time? ”
"Brother Dog, I can be regarded as finding you." Li Jinghe was so frightened that he trembled, turned around with a flattering smile on his face, picked out the bag for a long time, took out a large handful of copper coins and a tael of silver, and held them in front of the second dog: "Brother Dog, I was very scared last time, and I only ran away when I went out, this time don't say a tael of silver, I will make amends to Brother Dog." ”
The second dog looked at Li Jinghe with a glance, pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a smile, grabbed all the money and threw it into the pocket of the meal: "You kid is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, don't think that you give me a lot, I know exactly how much silver you have in it, and I won't say anything about the last time, this time I don't want your money, take me one, and do business with you?" ”
Li Jinghe is going to die of distress, if it weren't for this stinky begging for food, he would have given up so much money? Do you still want to do business with yourself and look for death?
Thinking so in his heart, he pulled the second dog to the side and squatted down: "Okay, Brother Dog is willing to help the elder brother, the elder brother must be interesting enough, has there been a happy event in this yard recently?" ”
As he spoke, Li Jinghe pointed to the Jin Palace.
Ergouzi sneered: "You really didn't lie, the Jin Wangfu recruited Tanhualang to be the fast son-in-law of the East Bed, and you don't know it?" ”
"How do I know that?" Li Jinghe patted the pocket he was carrying: "Someone asked me to send things into the house again, I know that Brother Dog is familiar with this piece, so I am right to ask you." ”
The second dog touched his belly, which meant to eat and drink.
Li Jinghe hurriedly said: "Brother Dog, it's not that my brother is stingy, I gave you all the money just now, otherwise, I will get a reward after I go in and deliver something, and then invite Brother Dog to have a good meal, what's the matter?" ”
