Xue Ping sent it out, and explained the situation in Zhenzhou again and again.

The predecessors of the Xue family, it is said that they are all old friends with Wang Shuzheng.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, Xue Ping's father Xue Song and Wang Shuzheng's great-grandfather had a good relationship with Wang Wujun. And Wang Shuzheng's great-grandfather was the adopted son of Wang Wujun, the envoy of Chengde Festival. Therefore, when the squire arrives in Zhenzhou, a few people can use the old friendship between the Xue family and the Wang family to handle things skillfully.

They all mounted their horses and were about to take their leave. Huang Yi and Huang Zhao hit their horses and ran over.

Huang Zhao shouted, "Auntie, where are you going?" Why don't you tell Zhao'er?"

Huang Zhao's shout made An Zhi suddenly at a loss.

Huang Yi came over, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and stopped Huang Zhao: "Zhao'er, your aunt has a secret order from Xue Servant and wants to run errands." I'll be back when I'm done. Don't make a mess. ”

The few who are going to walk here will also get off their horses and see you. An Zhi took Huang Zhao's hand and couldn't help but burst into tears. Yes, since entering the Yellow Mansion, they have been with each other for more than ten years, and suddenly they have to go far away, and many words are choked in their throats, and they don't know how to speak.

Huang Zhao was in An Zhi's arms and said to his grandfather: "My aunt is traveling far away, and Zhao'er is here to send it, why is it adding to the chaos?"

Seeing him say this, An Zhi smiled with tears in her eyes: "Zhao'er is obedient, and my aunt will be back soon." Go back. This time the matter is urgent, so I can't talk about it in detail, let's talk about it when we meet later. ”

Huang Zhao shouted: "I'll go to the uncle, ask for an arrow, and follow my aunt." ”

You Tong came over and persuaded: "Young General go back, I'm with your aunt, aren't you at ease?"

After all, there is more ink in the lacquer carving, and he also came over to persuade: "There are still many things assigned by your servant grandpa, you went with us, he has something to look for you, but where to find you." You're a general, and there's still a lot going on in the military tent, right?"

When Huang Zhao heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Let's go, and when you come back, remember to buy me something to eat. ”

"Okay, little glutton. Let's go back, my aunt is gone. Dad, take care. Xiangyun will definitely complete the task well, wait for our good news. Anzhi wiped away a handful of tears, turned over on his horse, and galloped away.

Lacquer carving, Wen Lie, You Guan, You Tong, etc., also said goodbye and got on the horse.

Huang Zhao pulled his grandfather until he couldn't see his aunt, and then reluctantly returned to the army.

Two groups of people went to be Han Yu's guards, and the words were divided into two ends, each with a branch.

You Tongbao took his son Commander You and daughter-in-law An Xiangyun on this road, after all, he went to Zhenzhou to settle some relations, and he did not directly protect Han Shilang for the time being.

Let's talk about the whereabouts of Wen Lie, Qi Diao and the two brothers.

About Wen Lie, how did he get to Qingzhou?

The previous document has already explained that he heard about the lacquer carving and opened the spring wine workshop in Qingzhou. His home is far away in Jiangli County, Jiezhou, north of the western part of the Qinling Mountains, and west of the upper reaches of the Jialing River, how did you hear about it?

Since the five heroes of Lishan got married in Huazhou, the three elder brothers killed the two thieves of Confucius and Mencius and died together. There are only two of them left, plus the old department of Huaixi, so they have been closely connected for so many years.

Qi Diao's home is in Yandao County, Rongzhou, located on the north bank of the Mahu River (Cash Shajiang). Rongzhou is the old name of Yibin. Yandao County is a county where the Servants are the main ethnic groups.

Rongzhou spring wine is the predecessor of today's Jiannanchun. Therefore, Qi Diaohui once vowed to sell Rongzhou spring wine. But he asked his father to help him fulfill his last wish and open the first Rongzhou Spring Wine Workshop in Qingzhou, where he died in battle.

Both brothers live in the west and speak a similar language. From Rongzhou to Jiezhou, the north and south are separated by Chengdu Mansion, which is 1,700 miles apart. Although it is also far away, it is much closer than to Qingzhou in the east.

In the news of the Spring Wine Workshop in Kairongzhou, Qingzhou, Qi Diao wrote another letter to Wen Lie. Wen Lie rushed to the letter after receiving the letter. He led his disciples to sell red membranaceus, coptis, and peppercorns in Chaoge City a year ago, and only rushed home on the twenty-first year. Returning home coincided with Chinese New Year's Eve. Every year.

In addition to rushing to the Song Eight Society, it is sold on weekdays, mainly in Chang'an, Chengdu, Taiyuan, Luoyang, Bianzhou, and Yangzhou. These places are rotated once a year, just in time for Laba to rush to the court.

This time, Wen Lie got a letter from Qi Diao, because he wanted to visit Qingzhou, he changed the trafficking route, and the first stop this year was in Bianzhou. Wen Lie attended the wedding of You Tong in Qingzhou, and the six classes were all selling goods in Bianzhou.

They were brothers, walking all the way, talking about those endless old things along the way.

Running so far, don't look at Wen Lie who has been a county official for many years, but it is the first time for long-distance galloping.

He asked loudly on the horse: "Fourth brother, if you want to kill Chang'an from Qingzhou, you must not only not get tired of the horses, but also be busy to Chang'an, and get to Chang'an in a few days at the earliest? ”

Wen walked and shouted: "From Qingzhou to the southwest, go straight to Yunzhou, Bianzhou, and then go straight to Luoyang, to Chang'an." This way, 2,700 miles. Because it is light, the war horse can run more and then rest, running at least 600 miles a day. It is expected to arrive in six days. ”

When Qi Diao heard it again, he felt a lot more relieved, and said, "Lat is still exempt." According to the usual practice, the minister will go on a long trip, prepare belongings, send off relatives and friends, and leave for ten days. Xue Fu shot the news, it was an urgent stack, and it spread thousands of miles in a day, it was four days. Hold them to kill, with Lu Tian, it is just right to catch up with Han Shilang to go out. ”

Wen Lie shouted: "You are a godson of Lu, you are all selling goods in Bianzhou, you have to take a look." It didn't take much time, so I left while I was eating, seeing them. ”

"Yes, I haven't seen the babies for a long time. Antang Ten Tigers, the eldest brother left, the six classes are together, but it is not easy to see the responsibility, Zhaozhi, and Zishu. They're still in the army, right?" Qi Diao couldn't help but sigh.

Wen Lie couldn't help but worry about these children: "These children are very well-behaved, and they should still be in the army." Didn't you listen to Xue Fuzhu, the big battle in Qingzhou, the dolls are all rare handsome. ”

They can't finish talking all the way, and they can't wait to finish the words of this life.

It was almost noon on this day, and the two brothers arrived in Bianzhou. The side of the Bianhe River is actually the side of the canal. It is full of shops, and of course there are also peddlers who come and go.

Wen Lie found his son and five apprentices who set up a stall. The one-armed disciple Ding Kai came up to greet the master and hurriedly greeted: "Master has worked hard all the way, it seems that there is something wrong, where are you going?"

Ding Kaiban was cut off by Changdu as early as eight years ago, due to the Battle of Lishan Pass. Over the years, he has worked hard to train his left arm, and no matter what he does, he can do it like his right arm. Every time Wen Lie saw him, it was the most difficult time, and he couldn't bear to leave him behind. In this way, the seven masters and apprentices persevered.

The three varieties of Hongqi, Coptis chinensis, and Sichuan pepper, which are the specialties of their hometown Jiezhou, are sold each time, and the number of them is fixed every year. Generally, the disparity is not too large.

Qi Diao has just been in business, he is curious about everything, he has seen his nephews, and asked Wen Lie: "Fourth brother, you have brought a lot of goods from Jiangli County to the south and north of the world, just set up a stall, can you sell it out?"

Wen Lie said with a smile: "Our red membranaceus and coptis chinensis, if we count on the people to buy them, the big teeth will be hungry." Set up such a stall and go to his fixed place at a fixed time every year, mainly to attract pharmacies to engage in purchasing. The pharmacies in their nearby states and counties, at this time, will come to see the goods, and they will take some of them. ”

"Oh, lakh. Isn't it cost-effective to rent his storefront?" asked Qi Diao again.

Wen Lie said: "Of course it's not cost-effective. For example, when we come to Bianzhou, the goods we bring are generally sold out in one or two months. No more than two months. Rent a storefront, rent it for a year, and you will not be wrongfully paid. ”

Qi Diao chased after him: "Then if I rent you for two months at a fixed time every year, but the average monthly price is a little more expensive, will you rent it?"

"That won't be rented. If you want to sell it as a stall, why bother renting it?" Wen Lie said with a smile.

Qi Diao asked again: "Hongqi and Coptis chinensis, he is a medicinal herb." How are all the peppercorns sold?"

Wen Lie said: "Sichuan pepper has at least three uses. A must-have for every family, and sell better. ”

The lacquer carving calmly asked: "Which three uses?"

Wen Lie: "The first is seasoning, Yizhou is inseparable from peppercorns when cooking, what you want is that hemp flavor." Yizhou loves to eat fish, rainy and foggy, extremely humid, and prone to insects. Sichuan pepper is just warm to dispel cold, dehumidify, relieve pain, kill insects, and detoxify fishy poison. Therefore, Yizhou cuisine is inseparable from Sichuan pepper. ”

He asked again, "What is the second use?"

"Of course it's medicinal." Treatment of food and drink, cold and abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, cough and qi reversal, wind, cold and dampness, diarrhea, dysentery, hernia, toothache, itching, scabies, etc. Keep it at home and use it at any time. I don't have it at home, so I went to the pharmacy to buy it. ”

Calm and then asked: "What about the third use?"

He roared: "Hey, old man, are you going to force the fourth brother to death, break the casserole and ask the end?"

Pingfu was suddenly annoyed with him, but he didn't expect it, and hurriedly said, "Isn't my little brother learning to do business from scratch?" ”

Walking Thunderbolt was quite impatient, and replied: "The third use of peppercorns, the leaves of peppercorns are covered on the pickle jar, and the pickles are not insects and rotten." Wherever peppercorns are placed, they will not provoke insects. For toothache, just put one peppercorn. The courtyard wall and the ground are planted with peppercorns, with many thorns and anti-thieves. That's it, okay, let's drink. ”

The lacquer carving calmed down, and only cared about asking, the children had already withdrawn from the stall, ordered food at the wine shop by the Bianhe River, and prepared to drink. I couldn't help but laugh at myself for being stupid.

Ding Kaiban has no right arm, but he is so diligent no matter what he does. This left a deep impression on the lacquer carving. I can't help but ask other situations: "Start class, do you have a lot of children?"

Ding Kaiban dusted off his white clothes, and his snow-white face looked the youngest, and his height was naturally seven feet away, which was the standard length of a man in the Tang Dynasty. When he saw the fifth uncle asking him, he was very happy and replied: "My nephew married his wife Zhang and had three daughters and one son. My son is only five years old. ”

"There are many women, blessed people. Nurture them well. The lacquer carving looked at him gently.

They still have to rush to Chang'an to chase Han Yu, when will they arrive?
