Wei Da: ?

He inhaled in hindsight, "What do you mean, ......?"

Wei Er: "Hey. I didn't say anything. ”

Overhead, there was a high-pitched eagle chirping, and a huge black shadow swirled and swooped down from the heights of the forest, landing accurately on the shoulders of its master. The huge swooping force of the falcon's flight shook the surrounding branches and leaves.

Wei Huan hung the longbow on the horse's back, comfortingly touched the black long-winged feathers that Jueyun had gathered, and fed a piece of raw meat.

——

Five towns and leaves.

Ye Fuliu beckoned Qin Long to drag back a cart of melons outside the door, and confirmed in surprise,

"Next door - autumn is crisp, went on an outing?"

Su Qiu: "That's what Wei Da said when he came over in the morning to get the morning food. I took a look at it at noon, and the door was locked next door, and there was really no one in the house. ”

"Can you go on an outing? In this way, Saburo's condition is really much better. Ye Fuliu laughed.

Qin Long dragged a bag of melons into the courtyard, opened the sack, and asked while piling the melons into the corner of the courtyard wall, "Wei Jialangjun and the main family look close, and their names are called, why don't you go on an outing without making a sound, and you don't call the main family in advance?" Master, I said you better watch out for the next door—"

Ye Fuliu stuffed a melon into his arms, "Crisp and fragrant melon, take it and eat it." Shaoxue Lin Langzhong broke his mouth. ”

Qin Long walked to the backyard with the melon in his hand, muttering dissatisfiedly, "It's crisp and fragrant, but it's not sweet." Throughout the summer, we picked out the melons that were not sweet and bought, and the melons that were not sweet in the melon field were all rounded by our family......"

Su Qiu cut a plate of melons, brought it over and sat opposite Ye Fuliu to eat.

She actually had a lot to say in her heart. Qin Long said what he wanted directly, saving her trouble.

"There is actually some truth in what the chief steward said."

Su Qiu persuaded softly, "Seeing that the lady and Wei Sanlangjun are getting along, they are getting close. But when it comes to the relationship between the two families, after all, they are just close neighbors...... Lady, it's not that I have many concerns, should the lady write a letter to the family and inform the elders of the Ye family in the capital......"

At this moment, a black shadow soared half a circle from the horizon, past the blue sky overhead.

Ye Fuliu looked up. "I look at that little black dot like the Wei family's eagle."

Su Qiu also looked up, "How can you see such a small black dot clearly?" It's okay to say that it's a passing geese. ”

Ye Fuliu still felt like: "The posture of spreading his wings and turning is like a cloud." ”

The two of them were eating melons and looking up at the sky when there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

Immediately, someone knocked on the door, "Is the lady of the Ye family here?" My husband invited the lady to go out and talk. ”

The voice of the door was loud, and you didn't need to tell it to know that it was Wei Da.

Ye Fuliu clapped his hands, "I'll just say that it looks like it." Sure enough, they returned. ”

"I'm here." She got up to answer the door and scooped up three melons, "Everyone will take the melons that they have cut at home." ”

Wei Da was in front of him, and Wei Er's lean body had recently become familiar with it, and Ye Fuliu gave each of them a piece.

The rider on the tall black horse was tall, with long hands and long feet, wearing a capable and close-fitting silver-gray narrow-sleeved riding robe, and long riding boots under his feet.

Ye Fuliu instinctively turned to one side with the melon, refusing to give it to a stranger. The clear and distinct gaze turned around, glaring dissatisfied, but met a pair of familiar black pool eyes.

Wei Huan stretched out his hand to catch the air, and with some surprise, he smiled at her slightly. "I can't eat it?"

Ye Fuliu looked at Wei Huan's dress today in surprise.

From head to toe, novel and unfamiliar.

From the first time she and Wei Huan met, he lived at home for a long time to recuperate. He always wore the wide-sleeved robes of a scribe, and he was emaciated, and his temperament appeared noble and weak.

She secretly speculated several times whether Wei Huan was always the second-in-command role of "feather fan swaying, frowning, and calculating" when he was a mountain bandit in the north.

But today's Wei Huan sat steadily on the high place of the saddle, his figure was as tall as a gun, holding the reins with one hand, and his calm temperament was overwhelming. In the past, the true colors of the mountain bandits who gathered in the Wuthering Mountains and forests have shown their true colors!

Ye Fuliu finished looking at it in a novel way, and handed over the melon in his hand.

"Specially selected crisp, fragrant and not sweet melons, you can eat and taste them."

Huaifeng is a fat and strong tall horse, and the horse's head is almost the same height as Ye Fuliu. She held a piece of melon and handed it to the horse, and on the other side she turned her head with a loud nose, her wet black eyes staring at the melon in her mouth, and her big head leaned over, clicked, and took a bite unceremoniously.

Ye Fuliu: "......"

Wei Da laughed. Wei Er slapped the horse's head in the past, and twisted the big head that was still eating and gnawing to the side, "Breathe out of Huaifeng!" The melon was given to Lang Jun by Ye Xiaoniang! ”

The horse's head was twisted stiffly, and a pair of wet eyes were still staring at the melon. Ye Fuliu sighed and stuffed the remaining half-cut melon into Huaifeng's mouth. "Eat, eat, eat."

She beckoned to the top of the saddle, "Saburo wait, I'll go get a new one." ”

Wei Huan sat on horseback and laughed.

It was not the silent smile that Ye Fuliu occasionally saw, but the slight vibration of his shoulders, stroking the horse's ears, looking at her, and joy rising from the bottom of his heart, and radiating from the inside out.

The smiling eyes looked intently, and his voice was still as calm as before, "No hurry." ”

Wei Huan turned over and dismounted, patted the horse's head that was gnawing on the melon, handed the reins to Wei Er, and untied two bulging cowhide pouches from the saddle.

"Today's outing, I went into the mountains to catch some game. You see if there are any likes. ”

Ye Fuliu beckoned Su Qiu to come out, and the two of them first pulled open a cowhide pouch.

Wow, two big pheasants with beautiful coats!

"I'll eat stewed pheasant tonight." Ye Fuliu immediately decided, "Half of Su Qiu and I, half of Qin Long, and send another one to you."

The corners of Wei Huan's lips curved, and he handed over the second cowhide sac. It was full of a whole bag of good mushrooms.

Ye Fuliu carried a bag full of mountain mushrooms back to the front yard, and was surprised as he turned over, "It's clean enough." There is not a single toadstool, all of them are fat and edible good fungi. ”

Wei Huan smiled and was silent.

Wei Da interjected beside him, "Can you still send you poisonous mushrooms?" We first carefully selected one by one, but Lang Jun was still not at ease, so he picked it again by himself and sifted it out layer by layer. ”

Ye Fuliu squatted in the courtyard, stopped picking up the fungus, his eyes were bright, and he glanced sideways at Wei Huan. "Will you pick fungi?"

Wei Huan squatted beside her in his robe and picked up a thick big fungus from the ground:

"I know a little. Look at the shape, smell the smell, look at the color, and don't pick the fungi you don't know. This is Bamboo Sunflower. ”

Ye Fuliu took the big bamboo sunflower in his hand with satisfaction: "Mushrooms are nourishing." Tonight, I'll eat stewed pheasant with bamboo sun. ”

A few people were happily counting the fungus in the courtyard when there was another knock on the door.

A few Hao slaves shouted through the door, "Is the Ye family lady here?" Our son rushed to raise the money for the goods within the three-day deadline. Pure gold and full of two! ”

Qi Tang dusted off his robe, followed the little servant to smooth out the folds of the master's clothes, and handed a sweat towel to wipe his face.

"Little lady Ye, Qi came to the door as promised."

The door of the Ye family opened. When Qi Tang saw the person who opened the door, his face changed along with the end of his speech.

"—Wei Da! How are you in the Ye family! Wait, why is it the door of your Ying Ye family! ”

Wei Da stood by the door and said with his arms crossed, "Lang Jun is in the Ye family, and I am naturally in the Ye family." Got a question ? ”

The problem is huge.

Wei Huan and Ye Fuliu squatted side by side, Ye Fuliu pinched a thick big fungus in his hand, the smile on his face had not faded, and he looked sideways at the door with a smile.

When he saw Qi Tang outside the door, the smile between his eyebrows and eyes was like ice and snow turning into spring, and he was gone.

Ye Fuliu got up and greeted politely, "Qi Shizi is here." But when you raise enough silver taels, you come to me to make a deal, and the silver and goods are gone? ”

Qi Tang said proudly, "Yes! ”

He came today with two hundred and thirty taels of pure gold. Immediately, he put on the posture of a big customer, took on his robe and walked into the door, "Let the irrelevant people go first." Let's talk about business in detail. ”

Ye Fuliu fiddled with the big fungus in his hand, "There are no irrelevant people in my Ye family." The prince is a big customer, and Wei Sanlangjun is also a big customer. There are big customers on both sides, so how can there be a reason to talk about business on one side and drive away on the other? If the prince wants to talk about business, he comes in. Don't want to talk about going out with your money box. ”

Qi Tang was shocked. On what basis !

He sent people to Jiangning Mansion overnight. The three-day date was too hasty, and the amount of withdrawal was huge, so the account office informed his father and only allocated him a hundred taels of gold.

It was easy for him to pick out another one hundred and thirty taels of gold from the hand surnamed Shen, and the two compartments were put together in one place, and finally made up enough money for the goods.

Today, he went to the door of the Ye family with a heavy money box to make a big deal, why is he still treated like this!

Qi Tang is not in a good mood. All the money has been brought, and it is absolutely impossible for him to leave at this moment. He slammed right through the door.

Standing in the courtyard of the Ye family surrounded by Hao slaves, his eyes slanted over the Wei family, as if he had just seen it at this time, and greeted him lukewarmly, "Third cousin." ”

Wei Huan stood in place, and nodded coldly at his unconscious cousin outside the door, "Cousin." ”

Qi Tang turned his head and asked Ye Fuliu: "What business is the Wei family talking to you about?" Yes Is the business you and I talking about? ”

Ye Fuliu: "In terms of the scale of the business, it is not as big as the business of Shizi, but I like the goods sent by Wei Sanlangjun." ”

Qi Tang was extremely unconvinced: "What goods? Can you trade in expensive goods? ”

Ye Fuliu's gaze swept around, and said happily: "Precious game."

Qi Tang: ??

The shocked eyes of the Qi family swept around in unison.

The so-called precious game sent by the Wei family...... Could it be two pheasants and a bunch of fungi on the ground??

Chapter 40

Shen Li came back in the dust.

Wukou Town has a half-day trip to Jiangxian Yamen, and it takes an hour to arrive on horseback. He originally thought that he would be able to go back and forth that day, but he did not expect that the people of Lu Zhixian were not in the county office. The autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is high and cool, and the Yaxing of Luzhi County is big, I don't know where to go to travel.

Shen Li inquired everywhere, searched around Jiang County for two or three days, and finally blocked Lu Zhixian, who was riding a little green donkey, shaking his head and reciting poetry, in front of him in a waterfront bamboo forest.

After some lobbying, it was said that "Qi Shizi Weifu secretly visited Wukou Town to secretly check the payment of local taxes and silver"...... Lu Zhixian's expression changed drastically, and he immediately agreed to follow him to Wukou Town.

This year, Jiang County's tax collection was not sufficient, and Lu Zhi County did not relentlessly squeeze the people in the county, and instead sought out wealthy local merchants to raise donations, just to quietly make up for the taxes.

Who would have thought that there would suddenly be a Qi Shizi who supervised the tax and silver from above!

People are still secretly visited, who knows what is famous for being secretly visited by him? Will there be unconvinced rich businessmen who secretly run to cry out for injustice? You have to greet them face to face, welcome them to the county office, and put them under your nose!
