When spring returns to the earth, everything is full of life, not only for plants, but also for people.

In recent years, the life of the Great Song Dynasty has become better and better, and the people have a lot of living money in their hands, and their spending power has gradually improved a lot.

However, in winter, the roads and waterways cannot be walked, and those in-demand goods from outside have no chance to enter, so in winter, many consumer desires are suffocated.

Until the arrival of spring, the merchants rushed to Bianliang from all over the country with the scarce goods collected from all over the country.

For example, silk and silk cloth in the south, cow and sheep dairy products in the north, and green salt in the west, those caravans crowded the royal streets.

This happens every year, and when the roads are usually in the spring, the streets are often blocked by people, but no one cares about it, because it's a good thing.

Unless His Majesty has something serious to pass through here, or there is a major event in the court, and the army is going to leave Kyoto, the congestion is still there.

Xu Mao wanted to take a shortcut back, but he didn't expect to be blocked here.

The Great Song Dynasty did not allow the internal servants to interfere in politics, so Xu Maoze, who was a big man in the palace, suddenly came to the outside and became a transparent existence.

Except for those officials who want to give you face, because you are a person close to His Majesty, they are worried that you will wear small shoes, as for the others, who bird you.

"This is the best jerky, we weighed exactly three thousand catties when we came, even if there is some damage along the way, it is impossible to lose five hundred catties, right? There must be something wrong with this scale of yours, I'm going to weigh it again! ”

"Who said there was a problem with so-and-so's scale?"

The shopkeeper of the butcher shop came out with a fierce face, and when he saw that it was a woman, he became even more arrogant, and said coldly: "How many years has a certain person been doing business in Bianliang, do you dare to say that a certain person is cheating?" ”

"You're just cheating! Give our meat back! ”

A woman stood there in a rage, and several big men behind him suddenly rushed over, but more big men came out from the other side, and there were even splashers.

This is a caravan from the northwest, bringing dried meat and dairy products, for these things, they traveled thousands of miles to Bianliang, just to sell them for a good price.

Their dust and dust reflect the red light of the butcher shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper laughed and said coldly: "You woman is so savage, where do you have three thousand?" I see that it is not easy for you to come from the northwest, so I gave more...... But you are not satisfied, but you want to slander people? Don't forget, this is Bianliang, no matter how crooked, beware of the official coming to arrest you! ”

"It's just right for the official to come, let them judge!"

The woman stood at the door without giving an inch.

The shopkeeper sneered, with a bit of lewdness on his face. Dang, said with a smile: "Commentary? To whom? For you? I advise you to get acquainted with each other...... Otherwise, you will be put in prison, do you know how many years the people there have been holding back, and a woman like you will go in, hehe......"

Not far away, Xu Mao only felt angry when he listened to these discussions.

Seeing the woman being bullied and molested by the shopkeeper, he couldn't hold back any longer, pushed away the person in front of him, walked straight over, and shouted, "What do you want?" ”

The woman turned around when she heard the voice, and when she saw the person in front of her, her face showed joy, and she said with a smile: "Old Xu? It's you...... Why are you here? ”

Xu Mao nodded at her.

Then he said to the shopkeeper with a cold face: "You are so bold, you dare to be abducted and deceived in the Yujie pit, is it good to go to Qiongzhou to cheat?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at his clothes and said lightly: "This is a noble person in the palace, right?" The nobles serve His Majesty hard, but the things outside are not so easy to talk nonsense. ”

This matter can't end now, even if Xu Mao is from the palace, the shopkeeper must resist it and can't change his words.

If he admits to deceiving Zeng Yue's goods, he will dig his own grave, and he will have no place in Bianliang when he turns back.

As for offending Xu Maoze, it's a big deal to go back and spend more money to dredge it up, and their inner servants go out of the palace every day.

To put it more seriously, even if it is Lu Yijian who comes at this moment, he will only refuse to admit it, otherwise he will have no business to do in the future.

"You!"

Xu Mao was immediately furious, he served two generations of emperors in the palace, and he has always been a figure standing at the top, when did he suffer this kind of humiliation.

Especially the arrogance of the shopkeeper, Xu Mao was angry, and said coldly: "Go and find someone from the inspection department, I want to see if I want to see how arrogant he can be today!" ”

"Lao Xu, forget it."

Zeng Yue wanted to join the fire of the shopkeeper, but the other party had significantly more people, and they were the head snakes, and they also had the background of the government behind them.

Once a fight starts, not only will they have no chance of winning, but they will also invite trouble.

But although she admitted this matter, she was obviously not ready to admit defeat, so she arched her hand at the shopkeeper and said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, whether it is three thousand or two thousand five you and I know it, I admit this matter ......"

"Admit a fart, you can admit it, but I don't admit it!"

Zeng Yue looked back in amazement, feeling that Xu Mao was a little strange, and felt that this person was a little different from the person he saw last time.

The last Xu Mao was a little timid and a little shy.

I still remember that it was last year, when their caravan passed through Qingjian City, everyone met by chance, and then went all the way together.

That journey is deeply memorable, and the sentence "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight" until now Zeng Yue still remembers it in his heart.

But today's Xu Mao is extremely imposing, changing his previous appearance, and even with a touch of majesty, which makes people feel unconsciously unfamiliar.

……

Xu Mao is the super boss in the waiter.

Under normal circumstances, if there is a dispute with someone like this, he will maintain his demeanor and rarely show his emotions, let alone anger.

But now Xu Mao has forgotten his demeanor and changed the cultivation and connotation of the first chamberlain of the dynasty.

He pointed at the shopkeeper angrily, and said coldly: "It is Xu Maoze, who has been working by His Majesty's side for many years, and I advise you to return the things obediently, otherwise...... A certain will use all means to make you a dilemma of life and death! ”

There are not many people who can be threatened by Xu Maoze, even if it is Lu Yijian, to a certain extent, Xu Maoze can ignore his existence, if nothing else, just because he is Zhao Zhen's person.

But such a big guy today reported his name for the first time to threaten the shopkeeper of a butcher shop.

"You work beside Your Majesty?"

Zeng Yue looked at Xu Maoze with a stunned face when she heard this, and then subconsciously said, "Your Majesty's side...... So, you're a chamberlain in the palace? ”

can do things by Zhao Zhen's side, except for those concubines in the harem, there are only internal servants.

Xu Mao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his mood suddenly became gloomy, he silently looked at his feet, nodded and said, "Yes, so-and-so is the palace attendant......

I'm not a complete man anymore, so how can I expect anything else?

It's ridiculous that I was tempted...... Is it ironic that a chamberlain, a man who has no roots, is it ironic that he has a heart for a woman?

But after Zeng Yue saw his appearance, he suddenly smiled: "So what, I only know that you are a good person...... As long as you're a good person, that's enough. ”

Is it enough that I'm a good person?

Spring returns to the earth in an instant, and the dying shoots break out of the ground, struggling upwards with vigorous vitality, it wants to grow up quickly, and it is big enough to instantly shade and protect the woman in front of it from the rain.

Xu Maoze's face finally showed a smile, he mustered up the courage to look at Zeng Yue, and grinned: "This person ...... It's still good, others say that this person is good. ”

The eyes of the waiters on the side are about to fall, and the super boss Xu Maoze in their eyes actually boasted that he was not bad?

And in addition to the smile on his face, there is clearly a bit of ...... Shy? That's right! It's shy! It's like meeting a beloved girl next door.

What a once-in-a-millennium spectacle! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that Xu Mao, who has always been majestic and dignified, would have such an unknown side!

Zeng Yue couldn't help but smile when she saw his dumb look, and said, "You are a good person, right...... Where do you live? I'll send you some jerky and cheese to eat. ”

As she spoke, she said proudly: "My jerky and cheese are all from the northwest, the purest, if you want to eat it in the future, just say it, I will give it to you when I go back to Bianliang." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

At this moment, Xu Mao only felt that his body was fluttering, all the qi and blood in his body were used in his heart, and his beating heart seemed to be about to pop out.

Zeng Yue no longer cared about this, but turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Friend, I advise you...... People do their duty, and they will cause trouble if they are greedy for a small bargain, and today they admit defeat! ”

She turned around and bowed her head to the few men she brought behind her, her slightly dark face was full of sassy posture, and said loudly: "You don't have to worry about your profits, I'll fill in this money!" ”

Caravans like these traveling from south to north are generally made by a few people or a group of people, and everyone's profits will be distributed proportionally each time.

But now that there are a few hundred catties of dried meat, the deficit in this is huge, and if one person bears it, it is likely to go bankrupt.

So Zeng Yue's cheerfulness can be seen from this, this is the real chivalrous girl! 33

"I said it, I don't admit it! What to fill in ......"

Xu Mao took a step forward, glared at the shopkeeper angrily, and then turned back to Zeng Yue and said: "You just have to wait for this matter, if you can't let him spit it out, you won't have the surname Xu!" ”

Zeng Yue didn't have much joy at his righteous sword, but frowned and said: "Although I don't understand officialdom, I also know that it is best for the palace servants not to get involved in outside affairs and commit taboos...... It's just 500 pounds of jerky, and I won't go bankrupt, forget it......"

Although Zeng Yue said it very casually, there was obviously unwillingness in her eyes.

Five hundred catties of jerky is not a small amount, even if Zeng Yue is not bankrupt, then her family is estimated to have to be empty to make up for it.

The shopkeeper wanted to stop, but he felt embarrassed, and he was afraid that people would see the joke, so he sneered: "Then why don't you hurry up?" Otherwise, let's talk to Kaifeng Mansion and see if the government believes you or so. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
