Chapter 214: A Chance Encounter at the City Gate
Qin Coriander returned home, Su's family, Aunt Sang and the children all came over, and the house was very lively for a while, and Qin Coward's dizziness improved
After changing her clothes, she came out to hold the child and talk to her mother and Aunt Sang.
Although she has been away from her mother for a while, Lu'er is still very dependent on her mother, but the child can't sit still, and after a while, he clamored to go out to play, saying that he wanted to play with Bao'er's brother.
After the child went out, Qin Xun saw that his mother wanted to speak and stopped, so he took the initiative to say that Uncle Qi followed Xiao Chenyu to escort the goods and would not come back until later.
Su Shi blushed and glared at his daughter.
Seeing that her mother was embarrassed, Qin Xun hurriedly changed the topic and asked about Bao'er? Su Shi was also happy to talk about other things, only saying that Bao'er went to the academy and should come back to see the sky.
Four-year-old children go to private schools for enlightenment, which is actually a bit early.
It's just that Qin Xun understands Li Siniang's mood and understands Bao'er's responsibilities even more. So he also nodded and said: "Siniang must let Bao'er have a future career, and it is a matter of course to let Bao'er study." It's just that I feel sorry for Bao'er, so many things have to be carried at such a young age. ”
After having Lu'er, Qin Xun just wanted to clear the road ahead for her son, so that he could live his life safely and smoothly, she never thought of making Lu'er a big man who became famous.
Qin Xun retracted his thoughts and asked again, "No one in the Li family has found Bao'er?" ”
Su Shi shook his head and sighed heavily: "That surnamed Li is so ridiculous, what can he know?" ”
Then she said that once she took Bao'er and Lu'er out shopping, and saw that Li Dongliang standing outside, taking a look at Bao'er, and he stupidly said that these two children are really good-looking.
Father and son don't know each other when they meet, and they are both angry and funny.
But for Li Siniang, this should be the best result.
The Xiao family's house is very large, but the population is not large, so a yard was vacated for a warehouse, and all the incense products brought by Qijiang County were sent in.
The incense ingots belonging to the Lu family were also sent to the Xiao family's treasury, and as for the Qin family, they naturally belonged to the Qin family.
The goods were sent one after another, but Xiao Chenyu and Lu Jiu did not return for a long time, but Qinggu came back and said: "The city gate of the capital is strictly checked, and the second master and the ninth master are waiting at the city gate, for fear that the goods behind will be lost." ”
Qin Xun looked at the sky, it was dark early in the capital, and he was a little worried that if the city gate was closed after a while, and the goods had not been delivered, it would be troublesome.
After thinking about it, he still called Li Siniang, who came back with Qinggu, and asked if there was a place to stay outside the city, which was not only safe, but also a large enough place to place the goods that had not yet been delivered.
"Don't worry, Mrs., the second master and Lu Jiuye have already arranged, there is a mountain villa outside the city gate, you can borrow it to others, you only need to give some silver."
Hearing that there was already an arrangement, Qin Xun didn't ask in detail, Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu were both cautious people, and they would naturally do a good job.
The North City Gate is close to the big wharf, so foreign cargo ships enter the capital through the North City Gate.
Of course, there is a long mountain just outside the North City Gate. It is a good place to hunt in the capital.
Many mountain villas have been built at the foot of the mountain, which are usually used by their masters to rest when they go out to hunt, and they also provide daily food such as vegetables, melons, fruits, chickens, ducks, and fish for the masters' families.
Therefore, in addition to the goods, there are also children of families who go out to hunt and slaves who go out to hunt.
It was getting dark, and only part of the goods entered the city, because as long as there were children of the family who came back on horseback, they had to give way first.
But the situation is stronger than people, they are all characters who can't afford to offend, Lu Jiu and Qin Yaoguang, the uncle of the Qin family, have nothing to do, they are a figure in Dancheng, but when they arrive in the capital, merchants like them are nothing.
This is the place where the world's powerful gather, the world's wealth is also the most here, and the prosperity of the city is also jaw-dropping.
Of course, there are also many powerful people.
So much so that when another wave of young men and women on horseback rampage, Lu Jiu wanted to scold his mother.
He lowered his voice and complained to Xiao Chenyu: "Why do these people like to run out on such a cold day?" Isn't it comfortable to have a fire at home and eat wine? ”
Xiao Chenyu glanced at Lu Jiu's face, which had become whiter because of cold and hunger, and smiled: "You don't know this, the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and the Queen Mother once sighed that her knees hurt when it was cold." Therefore, these children of the family and the noble families all want to hunt precious and beautiful animals outside, so as to make furs into cloaks or blankets for the Queen Mother, so as to win the favor of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. ”
Lu Jiu raised his face slightly, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, the snowflakes fell on his eyelashes, he shook his head vigorously, the cloak on his head slipped off, and a beautiful face was even more beautiful under the light of the lantern that had just been lit at the city gate.
This scene was seen by a group of men and women who happened to be wiped into the city, and they all showed surprised looks.
However, in the eyes of these people, there is amazingness, but it is not shocking.
No one stopped, but they entered the gates.
The guards at the city gate began to greet Xiao Chenyu and Lu Jiu impatiently, telling them not to enter the city today, and to send them to the mountain villa to avoid the wind and snow.
Xiao Chenyu looked at the sky, and also felt that it was so good, anyway, he couldn't finish it, so it was better to ship the goods tomorrow.
Uncle Qi said that he and Lao Sun went to the villa to watch together, and asked Xiao Chenyu to go home first.
Lu Jiu is not a person who can endure hardships, so he also ordered his trusted people to go to the villa to see the goods together, and instructed his subordinates to obey Uncle Qi's orders and dispatches, no matter what happens, they will be based on Uncle Qi's orders.
The Qin family didn't have a lot of things, and they left most of them first, and only a little bit was left, so they discussed with Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu and let their own people go into the city.
Xiao Chenyu still has a lot of respect for this eldest brother, so he agreed, Lu Jiu naturally didn't care about these little things, and the two took the initiative to help discuss with the guards guarding the city and let the Qin family's goods enter the city.
The guards were unwilling, even if Qin Yaoguang took out the silver to bribe, they were reluctant, they only said that they were going to close the city gate, and they didn't have the heart to carefully inspect the goods.
At this time, Qin Yaozu, the eldest son of the fourth master of Qin and the fourth in the Qin family, came.
Qin Yaozu, who was wearing a six-grade official uniform, got out of the carriage and stepped forward to give away the silver that the eldest brother of the Qin family couldn't give away.
Then he urged everyone to hurry up and deliver goods into the city, and now the inspection was not so careful.
Qin Yaozu turned around and walked towards Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu, he and Lu Jiu had known each other before, but Qin Yaozu was a child who was very good at reading and very competitive since he was a child, and Lu Jiu's reputation was like that.
One of the two is a positive textbook and the other is a negative textbook.
After all, Qin Yaoguang is from a big house, and he has no direct relationship or conflict with Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun, but Qin Yaozu is different, after all, he is the biological son of Qin Si's wife, and he is also the one with the vested interest of Qin family's fourth room to marry those concubines.
"You are my brother-in-law Xiao Chenyu, right? My name is Qin Yaoguang, and I am Qin Xun's elder brother, you should also call me the fourth brother. ”
