Chapter 99: The Rain Keeps Falling

Wen Chen and the three of them went all the way south, until they crossed the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou, and Xuanyang was still wearing the same Wen Chen clothes.

Fortunately, it is almost August, and the weather has gradually become cooler, and on this day, the sky is raining lightly, and it has been falling from midnight to noon.

Xuanyang, who was sitting in the carriage, looked bored at Wen Chen, who was meditating on his knees.

"Dog minion, what are you doing?"

"Meditation." Wen Chen replied softly.

"What's the use?"

"It can make the six roots pure, and less tormented by the noise of the outside world."

To put it bluntly, Xiao Heidou is too noisy every day, and meditating with her eyes closed can avoid arguing with her.

Xuanyang pouted his lips boredly, and his little hand reached out of the window to catch some rain and slapped it on his forehead, and he suddenly felt a little cooler.

"Brother Wen, it is estimated that you will arrive in Huaiyuan County in half an hour, how about you go there to rest today?"

Wen Chen snorted, and the topographic map of Qingzhou began to appear in his mind.

Qingzhou can be divided into ten cities and eight counties, and Huaiyuan County is the first county seat encountered when you first enter Qingzhou, and it is also the only way to reach the final destination Lucheng.

It stands to reason that Qingzhou has 800 miles of coastline, and almost half of the industries in the three cities near the sea are related to fishing.

But since the three of them entered the Qingzhou territory, one or two dry skeletons would be seen every few miles, lying ragged on the side of the road, and the black hole eye sockets were very scary. Although it has been rainy in the last few days, the sowing season has already passed, and the barren fields are full of white salinity, and even if they can be planted next year, the land will have to be raised again for another two or three years before a good harvest can be obtained.

"This trip has a long way to go...... Wen Chen sighed slightly.

If the problem is not fundamentally solved this time, even if there is a big change of blood in Qingzhou, there will still be an excerpt handed to Shangjing City next year to ask for help.

The rain was dripping, and just when Xuanyang was a little sleepy, a stone suddenly flew into the center of her eyebrows from the window, and she screamed in pain.

"Which dog thing that doesn't have long eyes is thrown at Hongu?!"

Wen Chen glanced at her helplessly, since he left Wucheng a few days ago, he warned Xiao Heidou not to casually claim to be in this palace, he would be seen through by others, but these words were obviously put in and out of Xuanyang's left ear and out of his right ear, and it didn't play any role at all.

But the afterglow swept to the stones that fell on the floor of the carriage seemed to have a shining brilliance, Wen Chen bent down to pick it up and saw what kind of stone it was, clearly a piece of broken silver the size of a finger's belly!

Xuanyang touched the redness and swelling on his forehead, pouted and said, "There is silver in the sky?" ”

Wen Chen frowned, touched the slightly cool silver nuggets, and shouted outside, "Stop." ”

"Phewβ€”"

When Han Rishan heard the order, he immediately stopped the horses.

"Brother Wen, what's wrong?"

Wen Chen stepped out of the carriage and looked around through the hazy light rain, only to see a pavilion not far to the west, where two young men in Chinese costumes, a man and a woman, were laughing inside.

The man was dressed in flawless white, with a folding fan pinned to his waist, dressed in a graceful manner, but his face was not flattering, with a long shoehorn face, thin and narrow eyes, two sparse and curly mustaches, and a humanoid mouse, two buck teeth protruding from his lips, as if he could dig the ground as soon as he lowered his head.

The girl looked a lot more beautiful against the backdrop of such an ugly person, with a slender figure and a pink skirt, even in such weather, the long skirt on her body was not stained with a trace of mud.

A beautiful mole on her cheek hangs next to the pear vortex, and there are a pair of fox eyes on the bridge of her small and firm nose, showing her charm with a smile and a smile.

Outside the pavilion stood four men in small gray cloth hats, soaking wet, but with humble smiles on their faces.

From time to time, the man in the pavilion took out a piece of broken silver from the box in his hand, and after showing off to the woman in pink who was holding a white rabbit beside him, he waved his arm and threw a splash into the stagnant water on the side of the road.

"Brother Yuen Long, you lost, you see that you have been beaten into other people's carriages, and I am afraid that a son will trouble you!" The woman holding the white rabbit smiled softly, and the slender jade pointed in the direction of Wen Chen and the others.

"Humph! Who in this realm dares to trouble me He Yuen Long? The white-clothed boy sneered, walked out of the pavilion and kicked a little guy close to him to the ground, and commanded arrogantly, "Tell those few things that don't have long eyes to roll over and make amends to this son!" ”

Instead of getting angry, the little guy got up and greeted him with a smile, nodded to He Yuanlang and agreed, and waved his hand to call the remaining three compatriots to walk towards the carriage on the side of the road menacingly.

"What do you look at a dog thing that doesn't have long eyes?"

"Do you know what the sin is to delay my son-in-law's fun?"

Several people crossed their waists to surround Wen Chen and the others, and their ugly faces were exposed.

Wen Chen smiled slightly, picked up the broken silver in his hand and asked, "Wouldn't it be too wasteful for your son-in-law to play this?" ”

"Dogs are nosy with rats!" The little guy who took the lead glared, stepped forward and grabbed Wen Chen's sleeve, "What is my son-in-law playing, how to play, you are also worthy of asking?" ”

"Let's go! Kowtow to my son-in-law in the past to make amends! ”

"Brother Wen, they are so unreasonable...... Han Rishan's face on the side was a little displeased.

Wen Chen patted his arm and chuckled, "Let's go over and take a look first, after all, we swept this son's Yaxing." ”

"Oh......"

The two of them were dragged into the pavilion by the four servants.

Seeing this, He Yuanlang in the pavilion smiled confidently at the woman beside him, "Sister Xueqin, if you see it, you have to be scared to deal with Diao Min, otherwise they will be disobedient!" ”

The woman smiled slightly, did not reply, her fingers gently stroked the white rabbit's body, and her eyes looked at Wen Chen.

"What a handsome young man, what's your name?"

Wen Chen glanced at the two of them lightly and spread his palm, "Is this silver the two's?" ”

Hearing his female companion praise others for their good looks, He Yuanlang was a little annoyed for a while, grabbed the silver and threw it to the ground, "It's your business!" If you can kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times now, this son may be happy and reward you with a few spare money! ”

"Okay!" Wen Chen smiled, "But there is a problem before kowtowing to people, that is, you must ask the other party's family background, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable." ”

"Dare to ask Gongzi's surname, what kind of business is the family doing, and can be so rich that they can spend money in such a catastrophic year?"

"My son's surname is He, his name is Yuen Long, he doesn't do business at home, and his father, He Erlong, is the county magistrate of Huaiyuan County, and he rules over your gang of people! Do you understand? ”

Wen Chen raised his eyebrows, pointed to the silver box next to He Yuanlang's hand and asked, "As far as I know, my Dasheng County Order's monthly salary is no more than one hundred and fifty stones, plus two thousand five hundred yuan, and the son is so extravagant and wasteful, won't Ling Zun feel heartache?" ”

"Heartache?" He Yuanlang laughed, "Look at your appearance of a turtle who has never seen the world, my son's father has a good way to make money, what is this bit of silver?" It's just you people who treat them as treasures! ”

Seeing Wen Chen's pensive look, the woman with the white rabbit in her arms twisted her body and walked over, stretched out her little hand and gently tapped his chin, "Little boy, you haven't told Miss Ben yet, what is your name......

"Slut! Take your stinky hands away! Don't touch him! ”

There was an angry roar from the carriage behind him, Xuanyang was wearing wide clothes, and rushed over angrily!
