There was a loud sound in the night sky, and a black shadow crouched by the railing. Wei Huan stood leaning on the railing, his fingertips caressing the eagle's long black wings.

Pondering, he stared at the sleeping Ye family courtyard for a long time.

Chapter 52

The carpenter came early in the morning.

The Ye family opened the door, and the carpenter dragged a cart of wood into the front yard.

Ye Fuliu and the carpenter squatted together, discussing the carpentry while rummaging through the wood.

Since accepting the commission of the Ye family, the carpenter has not even been at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and has traveled all over the border of the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, and only found a dozen or so rosewood sticks throughout the month, all of which have been left in the yard.

Rosewood is precious and hard to find. There is less dark purple wood to match the color of the rosewood chair in the Wei family's wooden building.

Ye Fuliu rummaged through them for a long time and sighed, "The color and texture of these dozen or so pieces of wood are much worse than each other. The color is dark and light, barely made into a wooden chair, take it to the Wei family's wooden upstairs, and make a pair of people's original wooden chairs, and compare the two compartments - smash the signboard of the Ye family's business. ”

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the ingredients cannot be conjured out on the spot. The carpenter said with a bitter face, "It's really hard to find rosewood. The best rosewood has long been collected by the big households. The little old man really can't have children. If you look for it again, you have to go out of the Jiangnan territory and go to the west and south to find good materials. ”

Ye Fuliu squatted on the ground and said to himself, "There is no material, you can't make a wooden chair, and you can't do business." If the Wei family's transaction is not completed, the Ye family will not be able to return to Qiantang. The Ye family stays in Wukou Town for a day, and they can't sell the house for a day——"

Ye Fuliu suddenly clapped his hands and said to Su Qiu and Qin Long, "You see, it's not that I don't want to sell the house and go back to Qiantang, it's that there is no good rosewood in Jiangnan, and the deal with the Wei family is not completed, so I can't move." If the third brother asks about you, tell him as you are. ”

I couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row, and when I woke up, I always felt stuffy in my chest, and suddenly I felt comfortable.

Ye Fuliu happily gave a generous deposit. "Then go to the west and the south to find wood. Pick the best rosewood and send it back. ”

"Hey!" The carpenter took the deposit and dragged back the cart of lumber as it was.

Ye Fuliu walked back along the corridor. When I walked to the second courtyard, I saw a bamboo curtain rolled up on the wooden building next door from a distance, and a slender figure appeared behind the curtain.

She was about to go back to the house, but somehow she walked along the courtyard wall.

He didn't make a sound, just stood under the wall, staring at the figure behind the bamboo curtain of the wooden building.

Su Qiu casually asked, "Is it the kind of family that is very big when the emperor's relatives and relatives get married, and the relatives of the officials and children who are familiar with each other come to congratulate them, and the bride wears a phoenix crown and a veil, and she wants to enter the palace to thank her?" ”

Su Qiu was stunned. "yes. I've seen it all played out in the plays. ”

Ye Fuliu asked again, "The emperor's relatives are sons-in-law, how should the daughter's family welcome them?" ”

Su Qiu was taken aback, "I've never heard of it." ”

Ye Fuliu stopped at his feet, looked up at the wooden building a few times, turned around and walked into the hall in the opposite direction, and muttered, "Why can't he be a mountain bandit leader?" ”

The east-facing bamboo curtain of the wooden building is rolled to the top.

The gaze that fell from a high place followed him like a shadow, and Ye Fuliu could almost feel the gaze from behind. But she didn't decide whether to turn around and go back to say hello.

It's easy to say hello, what do you say in person after saying hello?

Said to his face, San Lang, the Ye family is rushing to deliver the goods. When the rosewood chair is finished and delivered on both sides, the Ye family will sell the house.

Why did the Ye family sell their house ? The Ye family has never been in one place for half a year, and every house that the Ye family has ever sold has been sold. I originally planned to move out before the end of the year, but now because my brother hit my head, I sold the house a few months in advance. does the wei family want to do it ?

San Lang, do you really want to leave the Wei family's ancestral house and follow the Ye family around to do business? The Ye family merchant is not an ordinary merchant, don't regret getting on the thief ship. If you don't go with the Ye family, stay in the town, and I will be able to see you from time to time when I come to the town in the future. If you regret following the Ye family, we will have to part ways.

Ye Fuliu muttered in his heart, walking faster and faster.

There are three forks in the road ahead, go to the left to the hall and go to the right. She took a sharp turn and headed straight for the gate.

She's not really heartless.

The gaze behind her was so staring that she couldn't stand it.

——

The town is very lively today.

The neighbors enthusiastically discussed a rare anecdote. The big boss of the Shen family's business didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he actually became a fortune boy and took the initiative to distribute rice and money from door to door!

"Our big boss suddenly realized. What is money, the daughter is scattered and comes back, there are many things in this world that are more valuable than money. ”

The cronies of the Shen family went door-to-door to distribute rice and money, sent it to the family, and read a sentence, "The Shen family is small and rich, and serves the family and country." "The Shen family is small and rich, serving the family and country."

When Ye Fuliu went out, the people of the Shen family happened to come to the north of the town, and the lady of the Li family next door was full of surprise, "Ouch, I took rice and noodles, and I even gave copper coins. ”

The Shen family's account room was full of sincerity, "Make it possible, just need the lady of the Li family to take the rice and grain, and don't forget to say a few good words for the Shen family." The Shen family traveled around doing business and saved some net worth, which was useful in the township and the country, and it was enough to be gratified that we were in charge. ”

Everyone sighed in unison: "The Shen family is a great good person." ”

Ye Fuliu didn't leave, but stopped by the door and looked at it with a smile. Shen Da, who has to pay a penny, starts to be a fortune boy? Kicked in the head by a donkey?

The Shen family's account room was full of sincerity, pointing to the big basket behind him.

"On the left is rice noodles, and on the right is copper coins. The Ye family takes some as much as they want. ”

Qin Long's face was full of suspicion, and he didn't know whether to take it or not.

Ye Fuliu opened his mouth and asked, "What about you and others?" ”

The Shen family's account room stopped talking, peeked at the closed door of the Wei family next door, wiped tears and sighed:

"One night, when we had a sudden accident and were in danger, the river was surging in our ears, and the wolf howled sounded, and the head of my family repented! As a businessman, you should concentrate on business and devote yourself to serving the country, so that this body can be of great use! ——The Shen family recently received a batch of expensive goods, and the big boss crossed the river overnight two days ago and went to the north to find a seller. ”

"He's really gone? Rare. Ye Fuliu laughed, "Got it." If the Ye family doesn't take your Shen family, add some rice and copper coins, and give back to the township as our share. ”

When she went out to mix things up and was a little more relaxed, she went to the river for a walk and came back with ten catties of crabs. If the brain is broken and forgetful, the appetite will not change. My brother likes to eat crabs.

Walking to the door, I looked at the closed door next door, and my footsteps paused, the crab is cold, and it is good for people who have been poisoned by heat.

"I don't know if Saburo eats crab?"

Qin Long carried the crab into the door and asked.

Soon he came back with the crabs as they were.

"What, San Lang doesn't like to eat?" Ye Fuliu asked curiously, "Then you don't need to bring it back, it's okay to leave it for Wei Da Wei Er to eat." ”

Qin Long threw the crab into the door with a big grin, "Wei Jialangjun loves to eat, just now asked me if the Ye family eats crabs?" I said that everyone in the Ye family loves to eat. Wei Langjun said that the Wei family has meat and vegetables, and he will bring a few vegetables to the door tonight, and the two families will eat crabs together. ”

Ye Fuliu thought for a while, "I asked him for a dinner last time, but I didn't eat it later. Okay, tell them to come over tonight. ”

"Oh, then go to the Lord's house. Wei Langjun is waiting for you outside the door. ”

Ye Fuliu: ?

Ye Fuliu went out confused. In the open space outside the two gates, Wei Er was preparing for the scaffolding, and Wei Huan was leading the horse outside the door, brushing Huaifeng's black and shiny mane.

Ye Fuliu stood by the door: "The Wei family is going out on an outing again?" The Ye family is not empty, so you can go by yourself. ”

"It's not an outing." Wei Huan brushed his mane, touched the back of the oily and strong horse, and fed a handful of hay. "You need to go into the mountains to hunt a few prey, and then you can bring meat and vegetables to the door at night. I don't know the taste of the Ye family, please go to the mountains to choose ingredients. ”

Boy. After beating around the bush, it turned out that the Wei family's meat and vegetables were still in the mountains.

Ye Fuliu laughed a few times. Routines, all routines.

But it's so funny, she likes it.

She stepped forward and touched Huaifeng's big head and tilted her head, "How am I going?" Horseback riding or driving? ”

Wei Huan stepped on his horse and stretched out his hand from the horse. "Ride fast."

Ye Fuliu stretched out his hand to greet him, and when he was pulled on the horse, he was still muttering, "Liar, the two of us are very slow to ride horses." ”

Wei Huan pulled the reins, and Huaifeng began to trot briskly, "Then ride slowly." ”

"Ride slowly, you can't get into the mountain when it's dark."

"Wei Er took the clouds to the mountains to hunt, and we rode over slowly."

"Look, the lady of the Li family next door doesn't say anything, staring at us."

A long cloak with a human body temperature was pulled from behind him and in front of him, covering his head and face. "They can't see clearly. You don't recognize it. ”

Ye Fuliu pulled down his cloak, "I don't dare to admit anything." Isn't it just going into the mountains and choosing a dish? ”

You come and go back and forth for a dozen sentences, all of which are casual gossip, and the long street of the town is gradually thrown behind, Ye Fuliu sits sideways on the horse, rests his small chin on the warm chest behind him, closes his eyes, and rubs it.

Whatever, I still like him.

——

When I really entered Yamaha Furu, I found that it was not her who chose the dishes, but the eagles who chose the dishes.

There was a whistle on the ground, and a small black dot in the sky swirled around, throwing a bloody prey in mid-air.

Ye Fuliu fixed his eyes and looked, it was an unlucky wild goose flying south.

Soon a large pile of prey was piled up on the ground. There are those who fly in the sky, those who run on the ground, and those who are big and small. The largest prey is a small yellow sheep that has just reached adulthood. Don't say that adding a few meat dishes is enough to make a full table of delicacies.

An extremely loud eagle chirp was heard from above, and the clouds swooped down from a hundred feet in the sky, carrying the whistling wind straight down, and suddenly retracted its wings in mid-air, and the bloody eagle claw hook grabbed Wei Huan's shoulder.

It looked terrifying, but fortunately, I had already put on the cowhide protector of the eagle.

Wei Huan patted Jueyun's head approvingly and fed a piece of meat. Jueyun ate and drank to his heart's content, and began to grunt comfortably.

The game was filled with four large bags and returned the same way. It didn't come very quickly, and it was even slower to go back. Jueyun considered himself a great hero, and stood proudly on his master's shoulders with his head held high, and Wei Er refused to go down no matter how coaxing he was.

Ye Fuliu burst into tears with laughter, "With an eagle standing on your shoulder, how can you ride a horse?" ”

Wei Huan touched Huaifeng's head soothingly, and handed the reins to Wei Er, "Don't be in a hurry to go back, it's okay to walk around the bottom of the mountain." ”

The two of them walked slowly along the mountain path.

When we talk about slow driving, we mean that we are talking about the speed of a horse. Ye Fuliu's steps were brisk, not slow at all, jumping up the slope for a while and walking a few steps, squatting on the ground for a while to pick up a handful of fungus, and from time to time he turned back and urged two sentences, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

"Shhhh Wei Huan led Jueyun to walk slowly in the mountains, his slender fingers stroked the black wings, and scratched the fine fluff around his neck, and Jueyun squinted his eyes comfortably and purred.

Ye Fuliu picked the fungus on his hand, and when he walked back to Wei Huan's side, Wei Er happened to pick up the sleepy Jueyun. Wei Huan took the reins of the horse again, and glanced at her hand.

"The brown one on the left is poisonous."

Ye Fuliu had been waiting for him for a long time, and his hands full of fat and big mushrooms spread forward,

"Labor Saburo and pick out the poisonous. We'll go back and add another dish for the rest. ”

The two identified them one by one, picked out a few poisonous varieties they knew, and threw them to the side of the road. There was a fat white speckled fungus, Wei Huan nodded his finger, and groaned, "This is not sure." Throw it away. As he spoke, he threw it on the side of the road.
