Another slave came over and said, "Shizi, hehe, in ten days, it will be your crown gift." ”

Qi Tang's birthday was at the end of August, and the big day of the crown ceremony was set for 30 August, and the invitations were sent to all parts of Jiangning Mansion half a year earlier.

Qi Tang looked up at the moon overhead. The bright full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually transformed into a beautiful face in his eyes......

By 25 August at the latest, he would have to go back to Jiangning Mansion. There are still 10 days left when the full fight is full, and it depends on whether he goes back alone or in pairs!

The official business was handled smoothly, and even the previous sluggish mood was much more invigorated. Qi Tang pondered, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

"I promised a lot of money before, is there any news about the batch of goods that the people of Toya rushed out of Jiangnan?"

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

A group of light horses only entered the boundary of Jiang County, and the tooth people got the news of the return of the big patrons, and even the Mid-Autumn Festival was not over, and they flew out happily, and met head-on to the ground, and congratulated repeatedly:

"Congratulations to Lang Jun, congratulations to Lang Jun, the little one has lived up to the trust, and the big business of 500 taels of gold entrusted by Lang Jun before has found a buyer in the Jiangnan territory...... That's it! ”

Qi Tang smiled on horseback at that time.

The capital was 230 taels of gold, 500 taels of gold were sold, and 20 taels of gold were deducted from the tooth man.

"Net three hundred and eighty taels of gold." The quick-witted little guy whispered in his ear, "The prince forgot that the capital of one hundred and thirty taels of gold was taken from the Shen family. ”

Qi Tang really forgot. was reminded by the little girl, and the smile on his face was even more pleasant.

"Reward!" Qi Tang waved his hand generously, "Everyone is happy, everyone present today will be rewarded with twenty times!" ”

The slaves were moved to tears.

In the past two months, I followed my master out of Jiangning Mansion to visit the micro-service, the wind and rain came and went, the wooden stick was also carried over, and the prison was also squatted, and finally the clouds opened and the moon was brightened - seeing the reward!

The tooth man got a commission of 20 taels of gold plus a reward of 20 yuan, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes. But he did not forget in his heart that the buyer of this big business also entrusted him with another matter.

How can you be a tooth man who thinks you have a lot of money. He does the trust of both buyers and sellers, and the commissions on both sides have to be collected without a single copper!

"The buyer only has a small request." The tooth man smiled, "I want to deliver it in person, and the money and goods will be delivered." ”

Qi Tang frowned dishappily. He rushed back to Jiang County ahead of schedule, didn't he just want to go to the Ye family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? The deal delayed him.

However, the tooth man tried his best to agitate the three-inch incorruptible tongue, explaining that the amount of money in this transaction was too large, and the buyer and seller had a few words of conversation through the curtain to confirm that it was correct, and on the spot while counting the goods, while transporting both gold and silver goods.

Qi Tang finally nodded.

——

Shen Li sat and waited in the small courtyard by the river.

As night fell, a full moon began to shine.

Before, it was he who underestimated the Ye family Fuliu. I don't know how she moved around, and she actually washed away a batch of Han bricks of unknown origin. The tooth people are inextricably linked with the government, and the buyer channels are much wider, since they can be shipped through the tooth people, the Han bricks are expensive, and they can be sold sooner or later.

Rather than asking her to sell these Han bricks to a big customer who didn't know where they came from, and then meet the Shen family as a stranger, it was better for him to buy them. Through the tooth people, in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, match an opportunity to meet face-to-face.

I don't know that when Fuliu, the seller, came to meet the buyer, he unexpectedly found that he was going around and around, and the big customer who had the ability to eat her entire batch of goods in the Jiangnan realm was still only him, Shen Li, who would show such a surprised look. Will he change his mind and be willing to enter the door of his Shen family's courtyard?

The Shen family has been in business for many years and has a lot of money. Although it is said to be a Shinong industry and commerce, the merchants are at the bottom...... To be honest, he has never seen anyone who spends money uselessly and cannot move money. If there is, it must be because there is too little money thrown out, and the way to throw money is not right.

Last time, he came to the door with a money box and opened the box in public, called giving gifts to make amends, but in fact, he showed off his wealth, and the means were too vulgar! It hurts the face of the Ye family too much! He has already deeply reflected.

Today, he changed his tactful way and offered a big business of 500 gold, just to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his sweetheart......

Shen Li smiled firmly.

There was a galloping sound of galloping horses outside the door of the small courtyard. A moment later, the neighing and shouting of horses reached the ears.

The tooth people ran from the door panting, and sold it diligently, "Shen Da is in charge, and the small one is not up to the entrustment, and he will bring the seller to meet."

Shen Li felt a little wrong, "She came on horseback?" How many people did you bring in? On weekdays, I see that the shopkeepers under her command travel by donkey carts? ”

The tooth man smiled all over his face, "I did come on horseback." More than a dozen horses galloped from Jiangxian County, and their feet were very fast, and they arrived in the town in half an hour. One of them took a small ride, and the horse's butt hurt! ”

Shen Li: It seems that the more you listen to it, the more wrong ...... become?

The tooth man urged, "I'm tired of Shen Da's family going out." The seller said that he did not want to meet, but before anyone entered the door, he sent his cronies to come and say a few words, and it was good to count the silver goods in person. ”

Shen Li led three or five cronies and strode out the door. Confronted by a young man of 18 or 9 years old, who seemed to have a somewhat familiar face, stood outside the door with his hands folded on his chest, and looked impatiently at the door, his mouth was very sharp.

"Where are the buyers? My owner has arrived, the goods are here, what about the buyer's money box? I tell you, my master is not a fool - huh? Shen Shen Shen is in charge? ”

The two sides looked at each other, and Shen Li was also stunned.

His footsteps stopped suddenly, and he pointed out the door, "-Qi Qi's little house!" ”

It was as if a huge thunderbolt had slashed from the top of his head to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and Shen Li suddenly realized what the problem was. He turned around and grabbed the tooth man next to him and asked, "Is the seller a man or a woman!" ”

The tooth man was frightened by Shen Li's face, "Of course it's a man, a man." has not yet reached the crown, and he is rich and noble, and he sends a young man to ......"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the little servant of the Qi family rushed to the dark alley to find the master's return situation, and described it in a colorful voice, "The buyer is actually Shen Da's master!" When I saw the little one, my face changed at that time, and I asked the tooth man sharply, 'Is the seller a man or a woman?', which is so scary...... Shizi, I don't know what kind of Hongmen banquet is set up here, we are few and lonely, let's go quickly! ”

Qi Tang was shocked.

I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to my senses.

"'Is the seller male or female?'...... The original owner of these Han bricks was Ye Xiaoniang...... I know! It turned out that he thought the seller was Ye Xiaoniang. The Ye family broke off their friendship with the Shen family, and the Ye lady did not let the surnamed Shen enter the door, so he beat around the bush and bought the entire batch of goods with a lot of money, taking the opportunity of buying and selling to get closer to Fangze...... Phew! Luckily, it hit me. ”

Qi Tang figured out the key, threw the reins of the horse into the hands of the little guy, led the rich slaves out of the dark alley, blocked the door of the Shen family's courtyard and shouted:

"The sale has been completed, the goods have been brought, I, the seller, are here, what about the buyer's money? Could it be that the seller of this transaction is a man and not a woman, and he wants to repay the debt? ”

Shen Li was full of anger and could no longer suppress it, and said to the tooth who was pestled on the side, "The Shen family has an urgent matter that needs to be used for money, and they can't take care of the Han bricks, so this deal can't be done!" ”

The tooth man opened his mouth and stammered, "This this ......"

Qi Tang sneered, "Master Shen has tried his best to invite the son of this world, how can there be any reason to regret it." Sons, go in and move the Shen family's money box out! ”

Shen Li's eyelids jumped sharply, "Robbing merchants on a sunny day and in the daytime, even the nobles from Jiangning Mansion have to talk about the king's law!" Close the door! Report to the officer! ”

The Qi family's slaves swarmed over to break through the door, and the Shen family's relatives flocked over to close the door, and they didn't know who was raising their heads, and in an instant, fists and kicks were exchanged, and the two groups of people were in a mess in front of the two wooden doors in the small courtyard by the river.

A little donkey sits along the river with a young scholar, past a scuffling crowd.

The donkey stopped and turned curiously to look into the crowd. The 27-year-old scholar pulled the donkey to turn to the left, nervously bypassing the scuffling crowd, and whispered in a gentle and soft Wu Di accent to comfort the donkey, "Don't stop, don't stop, go ahead." ”

The tooth man squatted aggrievedly by the river and waited. Don't dare to get too close to the door of the Shen family's courtyard for fear of being beaten; He did not dare to leave, for fear that this rare big business would become yellow.

When the donkey walked down the street in front of the tooth man, the scholar stopped the donkey, hesitated for a while, and summoned up great courage to ask for directions.

"Dare to ask, dare to ask, the house of Ye Xiaoniang, who is doing cloth business in Wukou Town...... In what direction? ”

His voice was as thin as a gnat, and he asked twice before he could hear it clearly, squatting and raising his hand to point north, "At the end of the long street in the town, the largest one is the Ye House." ”

"Thank you." The weak scholar carried his bag, touched the donkey's ears, and persuaded the little donkey to continue his journey north.

"Hurry up, don't miss the Mid-Autumn Festival. My mother-in-law is waiting for me for the holidays. ”

The donkey barked loudly, and the little broken steps simply stopped on the side of the road, turned his head back, and looked at the excitement with interest.

The weak scholar could not move the donkey, sighed, skillfully took out a long wooden pole, tied a piece of sweet pear with a string, and hung it in front of the donkey's nose.

"Well, let's go."

Chapter 44 (Supplement)

People with a noisy temperament, no matter how much they eat the feast, they will make a fuss at the end of the meal.

After the Ye family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was toasted, and after a few rounds of cold dishes and hot dishes, I don't know who started it, and proposed to have some fun. Wei Da proposed to throw the pot, Wei Er proposed to guess the coin, Qin Long proposed to dance the sword, Su Qiu was secretly vigilant and shook his head again and again.

"It's all the lively tricks of the gentlemen, and it's not suitable for the daughter's house to play. Does the lady want to play the Flying Flower Order? ”

Wei Huan's gaze turned to Ye Fuliu, who had his own ideas. "I don't like to play with flying flowers. Today's banquet is set up at the Ye family, and they all listen to me. ”

Her eyes were shining, as if the stars were gathering in the sky. I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, I looked at Wei Huan opposite with a smile, and my eyes showed a bit of cunning that I couldn't speak. "Saburo, what do you think?"

Wei Huan stared at the smiling little lady opposite, as if sitting by the lake and watching the starry sky. "Listen to my mother."

So, the Ye family yard was lively and shook the dice.

"Today's holiday, play a different trick. The number of dice is one to six, which is exactly six of us. Come on, come and draw, and draw a bamboo stick, and each stick has a number from one to six, and you each memorize it. ”

In the sound of the iron cup shaking the dice, Wei Huan's fingertips stroked the end of the bamboo stick, and a number was engraved on it: three.

Ye Fuliu generously displayed his bamboo sticks, "The biggest I have taken, six." The bamboo skewers are all placed in front of me, don't change them secretly, I'm going to open the cup! ”

The lid of the iron cup opened, revealing a single dice inside, and Su Qiu leaned over to look, "Five!" Who is Five? ”

Wei Da put down the bamboo stick and stared at Su Qiu fiercely, "I'm five." And then how to play? ”

Su Qiu glanced at him, didn't answer, turned sideways, and retreated behind Ye Fuliu.

Wei Da: ??

Ye Fuliu pretended not to see the turbulent dark tide here, "Wait! He touched another stick holder full of bamboo sticks and handed it to Wei Da, "Shake the pick yourself." ”

Wei Da held his breath in his heart, grabbed the stick holder and shook it violently, roaring in his heart as he shook it, "She still thinks Lao Tzu is a mountain bandit!" Lao Tzu is not a mountain bandit! ”

With a bang, a bamboo stick fell out of the tube, and Qin Long's eyes quickly caught it in mid-air, shouting, "Eighth lot!" ”

Ye Fuliu took out the small cloth bag, fumbled for a long time, found out the eighth signature, and unfolded the dense small characters in public, and read:

"The eighth sign: Woe and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. The winners of the lottery will openly explain what they are thinking at the moment. ”

Unheard of strange signing, Wei Da was still stunned when he heard it, and Ye Fuliu had urged, "What are you thinking in your heart, say it, quickly!" If it's slow, it won't work! ”

Wei Da opened his mouth without thinking, "Lao Tzu is not a mountain bandit!" ”

The three people on the Ye family's side were all stunned. Qin Long blurted out: "What mountain bandits? Su Qiu blurted out, "You're not?" ”

Ye Fuliu didn't speak, and muttered in his heart, "Okay, you're Wei Da, talking nonsense to your face." Usually looking at the rectum and straight belly, it turns out that people are quite attentive. You dare to do it, but you don't dare to admit it. ”

On the Wei family's side, Wei Huan and Wei Er drank together. Wei Huan's eyes glanced at the "signature" in Ye Fuliu's hand, and continued to take a sip of wine.

Wei Er slapped Wei Da on the back, "Wei Dayou! During the Mid-Autumn Festival, what nonsense are you talking about. ”

Ye Fuliu scolded Wei Da bitterly in his heart, and continued to take the dice cup as if nothing happened, "Wei Da clarified what he thought in public, and he spoke very quickly, and the signing should be effective." Wei Da drank a glass of wine and started the next round. ”

Wei Da drank with a complicated expression. Without giving everyone time to react, Ye Fuliu began to shake the dice again, "Open the cup! Look at the bamboo sticks in your hands, this time it's two. ”

Su Qiu took the "two" sign and bit her lip nervously, "Lady, it's me." ”

Ye Fuliu still handed her the stick holder full of bamboo sticks, and Su Qiu shook out a "twelve sticks" this time. ”

"The twelfth. Let me see—" Ye Fuliu groped out the signature from the small cloth bag, and read it out in public:
