Chapter 119: The Messenger
He had long been Ah Che's messenger.
When she entered the city again, she made a lot of food with the Chen family, and went to the old house again, and Old Man He really prepared some hometown specialties and asked her to bring them to Uncle He.
Sibao didn't worry about her alone, so he had to follow.
Dayang and Forsythia, but this time they didn't bring anyone.
When they arrived in the county seat, He Zao and Sibao separated from He Laosan and them, and said that they would meet at a good place, so they had come a few times, and knew that the two of them were not reckless, He Laosan only admonished: "Be careful, Sibao takes care of my sister." So he waved them and let them go.
He Zao and they rented a carriage and went to deliver a letter to Ah Che first.
It is easy to inquire about the location of the family members of the salt transportation envoy, and the key is how to meet people.
Ah Che said that his cousin's name is Han Lanshuo, and the Han family has several properties in Guyang City, if they have just arrived in Guyang City, then Han Lanshuo should go to these properties in the next few days, and it is better for them to see him alone, so as not to alarm others.
But if he couldn't see it, he also gave him another mutton fat jade pendant carved with a white tiger, which was his personal belonging, and the Han family also knew about it, and if he took it to the Han Mansion, they would definitely be able to enter the Mansion to see Mrs. Han.
He didn't plan to take that jade pendant out for a long time, since the things that everyone in the Han family knew, as soon as they appeared, who knew who would look at them, and Don't Ah Che's whereabouts were leaked out because of this, it would be too unjust!
But unexpectedly, it seemed that everyone in the county knew where Han Lanshuo was.
As soon as the coachman heard that He had inquired about the son of the Han family, he excitedly said that the second day after the son of the Han family arrived in Guyang City, he held a banquet in the largest restaurant "Qingyan Building", and invited the virtuous people of Guyang City to come to the table to talk about poetry and fu, if there were poor scholars into his eyes, he would also let people prepare twenty taels of silver for the ceremony. Twenty taels is not a small amount, I heard that even the boys who have just been in school for two days and can't read all the words have gone to join in the fun.
He had already heard it, but he was suspicious, in a small county town in Guyang City, where would there be great sages, what was the purpose of the Han family's son's move?
But it's easy to find someone, He Zao and Sibao went straight to the banquet building, sure enough, the people were full of people, all the people were old and young, and there were bursts of laughter and conversation in the restaurant, so that the coachman waited in the corner outside, and He Zao and Sibao went to the restaurant.
Two rustic-dressed country children, in a group of scholars, are doubly conspicuous, and before they reach the door, the guy who stood at the door to greet the guests waved his hand at the two: "What are you doing, this is not the place for you to stay, hurry up, don't bump into the nobles!" ”
The scholars who came in and out of the side glanced at the two of them with indifferent glances.
He Zao hurriedly pulled Sibao's sleeve and said with a smile: "Little brother, we are here to discuss business with the shopkeeper of your store." ”
The young man glared: "What is the voice, who are you ......" The voice did not fall, but he felt that his hand was heavy, and when he looked down, it was a two-tael silver poke, and his eyes widened, he looked at the arrogant wise men who were in and out, and hurriedly pulled He Zao and Sibao to the corner behind the door, and lowered his voice: "You two are really talking about business?" What kind of business are you talking about? ”
He Zao smiled and said: "We are countrymen, there is a lack of everything at home, there is no shortage of game, we have wild deer, wild boar, colorful chickens on the mountain, you are all nobles, presumably the nobles also want to eat a game!" ”
Sibao and the little guy looked at He Zao in dismay, the former was shocked that she came with a lie, and she didn't stumble at all, but the latter was surprised, rubbing his hands: "Oh, this is really sleepy and sent a pillow, little girl, you came just right, my restaurant lacks these game, where is your home?" Lots of game in the mountains? ”
From Wuxian Town to Guyang City, it is from north to south, in fact, it is from the mountains to the plains, sometimes people say that they go to the county seat and directly say "go to the bottom", that is to say, "go to the plains".
There are not many mountains around Guyang City, and even if there are, they are all poor mountains.
He Zao didn't want to say too carefully, so he said vaguely: "North mile!" ”
The man was even more convinced, and hurriedly invited the two of them to the kitchen, while hurriedly saying, "I'll ask the shopkeeper to come over, you wait first." ”
With that, the man ran away and went up to the second floor.
Sibao was a little worried: "Zao'er, where did you get the game?" ”
He Zao smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice: "As long as we see the master, we will be in the middle." ”
Fortunately, when she came, she prepared several pieces of silver, and if she had money to make the ghost grind, she didn't believe that she couldn't see that Han Gongzi if she smashed it with silver.
The shopkeeper of the Qingyan Building was a white and chubby middle-aged man, who originally went downstairs with a surprised face, and when he saw that it was two and a half children, he was dressed rustically and thinly, so he turned his head and scolded the young man: "You are blind, just call me down from the noble man for this person!" Saying that, it was like a chick and bombarded He Zao: "You two little dolls, where did you come from and where are you going, you are so busy that you are still making trouble!" ”
"Shopkeeper, you don't look at people in the cracks of the door, and you look down on people, my fourth brother and I are really here to talk about business! My father is an Orion, he shot three deer this morning, and I know that there are nobles in your restaurant, so I specially asked us to ask you if you want it! ”
The scolded young man nodded hurriedly, his face full of grievances: Look, look, I'm not talking nonsense, this little girl really has game at home!
The shopkeeper was stunned, since the Han family held a banquet in this restaurant, the silver was in the account in an uproar, but there are not many specialties in Guyang City, just those two kinds of food are turned over and over, Han Gongzi has long been tired of eating, and the meals ordered in the past two days have been sent out as they are, and he is trying to find ways to get some game, so someone will send it to the door.
He tugged at the mustaches and looked at the two brothers and sisters suspiciously: "Is this true?" ”
He Zao rolled his eyes: "We ordinary people don't dare to lie, no." ”
The countrymen are all sincere.
The shopkeeper smiled kindly: "Good boy, where are the adults in your family?" I talked to him, as long as the things are good, the price must be negotiable. ”
Since I came here to find the celebration building, I must want to sell it for a good price.
He Zao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I not only have deer at home, but also a few other specialties to eat, I see that the noble person's appetite is not very good in the past two days, why don't you let me go to see it, I will ask the noble person what he likes to eat, I will go home and let my father get it!" ”
The shopkeeper gasped, and then sneered: "Little girl, you have such a big breath, what do you want to eat for your father, you think your father is the cook in the palace!" Do you have wild deer in your house, if you have them, they will be transported, and if they are not, they will be blasted out, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense! I also see the nobles, and I don't see if the nobles are what you see! ”
