The news brought by Huo Jinsheng, the shopkeeper of Ximan Qianzhuang, made Xu Jinrou really surprised, why did people from the four major families gather in Dachu to see her? What does this locust plague have to do with guinea fowl?

asked Huo Jinsheng, but the shopkeeper of Xiban Money Bank glanced at Xu Jinrou's beautiful eyes, and lowered his head with a slightly red face, "Princess, I'm really sorry, I tried my best to try, but I didn't figure out what they were here for?" ”

Xu Jinrou had a trace of doubt in her heart, something must have happened that she didn't expect.

"However, there is still news to tell the princess, I don't know if it has something to do with it?" Hawkingson said.

"Oh, shopkeeper Huo, please speak."

"I reported the matter of the princess leaving 10,000 taels of silver in the money village last time and wanted to buy shares, and now the chief shopkeeper has sent a person to meet the princess, saying that she can decide whether this matter can be done after meeting."

"Is it such a coincidence? I came with the four big guys. Xu Jinrou was a little surprised.

"Well..., it's not a coincidence, the person sent by the chief shopkeeper is also one of the four families who came to see the princess this time, the people of the Huo family, are... My cousin. Hawkingson looked somewhat embarrassed.

Xu Jinrou was stunned, she didn't expect that this person from the Huo family also represented Ximan Qianzhuang and participated in the meeting between the four great families and her, could it be that the fact that she wanted to become a shareholder of Ximan Qianzhuang alarmed the four great families?

Huo Jinsheng saw Xu Jinrou's doubts, "Princess, it won't be because of your shareholding in Qianzhuang, this is not a big deal, and it is not enough to alarm the four families." ”

Xu Jinrou couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, this was a situation she had never encountered in her previous life.

The living room of Ximan Tea House is spacious and bright, and the tea on the table has been brewed, which is the famous tea of Dachu, Jinghu Shuangjing tea.

When Xu Jinrou entered the living room, the people who wanted to see her had already arrived, three men and one woman.

A man who was much fatter than Hawkingson sat in the first position on the left, about forty years old, wearing a brocade summer shirt, with a pair of small eyes as thin as the crack in the door, but he was born with a smiling face.

Sitting next to him was a woman, with spring water in her eyes and skin like congealed fat, a white smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, covered with white smoke and soft yarn, looking like she was in her thirties, but she was a little pink and crispy, with a delicate taste, and a cyan hookah about a foot long was fiddled with on her slender fingers like green onions.

In the first position on the right sat a thin old man, who should be over sixty years old, with a striking scar on his face from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, his face was as heavy as water, and his eyes were cold.

Sitting next to the old man was a dwarf about three feet tall, whose age was difficult to discern, with a beard with sideburns and cheeks, and a pair of ringed eyes, although he was short in stature, he was not angry but mighty.

Seeing Xu Jinrou enter the living room, the four of them all stood up, Xu Jinrou greeted each other, and Huo Jinsheng introduced them one by one.

The first man on the left is from the Xiao family, one of the four major families, this person's name is Xiao Shenji, and the woman sitting next to him is a person from the Huo family, named Huo Ruyan, and Huo Jinsheng calls her Sister Yan.

The first one on the right is from the Tang family, this person's name is Tang Buer, and the dwarf next to him is from the Feng family, named Feng Jiukong.

After everyone sat down, Huo Jinsheng personally added tea to everyone's teacup, and then hugged his fists and said: "Because of Sister Yan, I contacted on behalf of me, and let a few people meet with Princess Jin, and now that everything should be done has been done, I will say goodbye, lest there be something inconvenient for a few people to talk about, and hinder the actions of the four major families." ”

Huo Ruyan smiled and said: "Brother Jin Sheng's words are thorny, it's the strange sister who didn't say anything in advance, so let's pick my sister's reason!" ”

Huo Jinsheng smiled slightly, "Where did Sister Yan come from, you think too much." ”

Huo Ruyan stood up and pulled Huo Jinsheng to sit down, "Don't go anywhere today, just sit here, we don't need to hide from you what we want to talk about with Princess Jin, maybe you need to come up with some ideas!" ”

Hawkingsheng was not polite, sat down steadily, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Huo Ruyan chuckled, returned to his seat and sat down, first glanced at the other three men, and then his mist-like eyes swirled on Xu Jinrou's body, "Princess Jin, let me talk about it today, Brother Jin Sheng should have told you, I can give you an answer today about what you want to invest in Qianzhuang." ”

Xu Jinrou's face was calm, "There is no princess here, only Xu Jinrou, in the future, Sister Ruyan will call me Sister Jinrou, what is the answer?" Sister, please speak. ”

Huo Ruyan's smile trembled, "Okay, sister, I don't like the kind of person who thinks he is noble and has a stinky shelf, Sister Jinrou is very angry with her sister." ”

She shook the hookah in her hand gently, "Before replying, my sister needs to ask Sister Jinrou a question, and I hope you will answer truthfully." ”

Xu Jinrou nodded, "It should be like this." ”

Huo Ruyan's eyes were shining, "Liu Rentu has a clear mind, even if he is lustful, he will never be fascinated by beauty, although Jinrou's sister is charming, and even I am a woman who looks tempted, but this is definitely not the reason why Liu Rentu can't destroy Da Chu and persuade me that the Xiban Shengshang truces and stops fighting, so this question is, when the Xiban army besieged Kyoto City, what did you say in front of Liurentu's horse, and he was persuaded by you?" ”

Hearing Huo Ruyan's question, Xu Jinrou was stunned, it had nothing to do with her wanting to become a shareholder of Qianzhuang, but Huo Ruyan just asked.

At that time, she talked to Liu Rentu about the truth that the bird is hidden and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, but now in this situation, should she tell the truth? Dare to tell the truth?

The men in the hall were all staring at her face, and Huo Ruyan's eyes were more like a hook, hooking into her eyes, and she couldn't tolerate half a minute of hesitation and dodging.

Fortunately, Xu Jinrou is a person who has lived a lifetime, she has seen a lot of winds and waves, her heart is like lightning, but her expression is calm and unfazed, "Sister Ruyan, this is a very secret thing, my sister really doesn't want to talk about it." ”

"If Sister Jinrou wants to invest in Qianzhuang, this matter must be talked about!" Huo Ruyan's expression became solemn and serious.

Xu Jinrou's eyes changed, and she looked like she was struggling with a very difficult psychological struggle, and only after a moment did she say: "My sister told Liu Rentu, if today not only Da Chu but also overseas Tianluo Kingdom has not been destroyed, if Da Chu is dead, Tianluo Country has only one way to fight to the death, how can Xiban control Da Chu in his pocket, and then he can slowly figure it out against Tianluo Kingdom." ”

Xiao Shenji's small eyes suddenly shot out two cold rays, "The siege of the city must be que, so that the people of Tianluo Kingdom will not have the heart to fight to the death." ”

Tang Buji stroked his gray beard, "Well..., this will kill a lot less Western barbarian warriors." ”

The dwarf Feng Jiukong nodded and only said one word, "Okay!" ”

Huo Ruyan's serious face gradually stretched, and slowly turned into a smile, "Sister Jinrou, the person who joins the shares of Ximan Qianzhuang not only needs to be rich but also wise, and now my sister can reply to you, from now on, Da Chu Xu Jinrou is one of the partners of Ximan Qianzhuang, but you still need to sign some joint stock documents, and then the Jinsheng brothers can handle it." ”

Hawkingsheng raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, "I will definitely handle this matter properly." ”

Xu Jinrou was stunned at first, but immediately she was overjoyed, and immediately got up and saluted, "Sister has thanked Sister Ruyan here." ”

Huo Ruyan smiled coquettishly, got up and returned the salute, "This is what you deserve sister, don't thank me." ”

After sitting down again, Huo Ruyan's beautiful eyes swept over the three men of the four families, "Now that Sister Jinrou is already a member of my Ximan Money Village, if there is anything to do, what to say, the four families don't need to hide it, let's talk openly and honestly." ”

"Hmm...", Xiao Shenji cleared his throat, "Ahem, okay, then let me tell you, princess, it is said that you have raised nearly a million guinea fowl, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed, "This is indeed the case." ”

Xiao Shenji continued: "Now that I, Ximan, have promulgated the locust hunting law, I guess the princess also knows about it. ”

Xu Jinrou bowed slightly, "I just heard about it." ”

Xiao Shenji's small eyes couldn't help but flicker, "After the decree was issued, because the officials from all over the Xiban where their duties were located got the news, they all wanted to send people to Dachu to buy guinea fowl to fight against the locust plague, so as not to be punished by the Holy Lord if the land under their control was lost." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled, "This is a good thing, the saint of Xiban is wise." ”

Xiao Shenji nodded, "Yes, it's indeed a good thing, but all the people who want to come to Dachu to buy guinea fowl have been stopped by the four of us." ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes were cold, "What do you mean, four?" But do you want to fight against the new law? ”

Xiao Shenji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand, "The princess misunderstood, just because at this time, there will be a big disadvantage for local officials to do so." ”

Xu Jinrou was a little puzzled, "What are the drawbacks?" ”

Xiao Shenji said: "In this way, the guinea fowl will inevitably be scattered all over the place, and we cannot concentrate on exterminating the locusts as soon as possible and ending the locust plague." For the sake of my Xiban Sheji, for the sake of the people of the world, I want to buy all the guinea fowl and gather all the chickens together to exterminate the locusts. ”

Xu Jinrou suddenly realized and couldn't help nodding, "For the country and the people, the actions of the four great families are admirable, and they will definitely go down in history, and Jinrou's admiration is beyond words." ”

After listening to Xu Jinrou's words, Xiao Shenji's expression darkened, "Although this is the case, now the four families have encountered a problem, and they also ask the princess to give an idea." ”

Xu Jinrou calmed down, "Mr. Xiao, please speak." ”

Xiao Shenji's smile showed a hint of embarrassment, "Well, the princess should know that the use of silver settlement for trading and trading is a matter that only exists in the Great Chu country, and in Ximan, it is still the same as usual, and gold is the most valuable, so the four of me have more gold in their hands, and there is not so much silver." ”

Xu Jinrou's beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Shenji, "Hmm..., so what does Mr. Xiao mean?" ”

With a snap, Huo Ruyan slapped the hookah on the table, "Oh, a gentleman talks a lot, let me tell you, now the four of us want to buy all the guinea fowl in your hands Sister Jinrou, but the silver in your hand is not enough, I hope you can be accommodating..., owe it first." ”

"Ah..." Xu Jinrou was shocked, and after a long time, it turned out that the four families didn't have so much money in their hands to buy chickens.
