Moreover, now Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao are going all the way to the Yellow Sea, their whereabouts are uncertain, where are they going to find someone? And even if they find it, it is one thing whether people are willing to come back; even if they are willing to come back, how much time will it take for people to return to Hailing County and Yangzhou City?

Don't forget that Cui Pu also has a pot-bellied Mu Jiaojiao by his side!

Thinking about the last time, he summoned Cui Pu to Yangzhou City, and that kid directly ignored him. If you look for him again this time for Wu Lixin's matter, he will definitely have his tail cocked to the sky, and it will be strange that he will pay attention to them!

Zhou Zhifu thought about it, and his heart became gloomy.

Seeing this, Wu Lixin also sank his face: "My father recommended you to be the prefect of Yangzhou to Concubine Hui, but I didn't let you come to gag with the general surname Zuo!"

"Erlangjun, please rest assured! The official has his own plans for this matter, and he must call Cui Pu back as soon as possible!" Governor Zhou's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly said.

Wu Lixin was not satisfied. "How long is it as soon as possible?"

"Half a month...... No, ten days! ten days at most!"

"Ten days, are you planning to let this county be scolded to death by the people of Tianchang County?" Wu Lixin snorted coldly, "Just three days." In three days, you hurry up and find him, otherwise the county will pick your skin!"

"Yes, yes, the lower officials will definitely recall the people back within three days!" Governor Zhou nodded hurriedly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart - in three days, he estimated that even Cui Pu might not be able to find it, how could he bring the people back? Especially since Cui Pu is still inseparable from his lady, will he be willing to let her ride all the way up and bump and be uncomfortable? It's impossible to think about it!

Just when Wu Lixin and Zhou Zhifu were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were very relaxed.

After leaving Hailing County, the two abandoned the carriage and horse, took a small canopy boat instead, slowly and leisurely down the river, passed through a heavy lotus field, and finally merged into the Yellow Sea, and stopped at the entrance of the Yellow Sea.

When they got out of the awning boat, they saw several huge sea boats parked at the ferry. People on and off the ship came and went, and from time to time you could see someone happily walking over there with a novelty or two.

Cui Pu immediately took Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "Let's go and have a look! You pick it out first, and then I'll go find someone, don't let them know our identity for the time being." Otherwise, I will be surrounded by a group of people from beginning to end, and I will be noisy and noisy, and I won't even have the heart to go shopping!"

Mu Jiaojiao happily agreed.

When the two of them walked close to the hull of the ship, they saw a man dressed as a small guy coming up to greet them: "You two are here to pick up sea goods, right?

Cui Pu casually threw out a small string of copper coins: "Reward you! As long as you can let my lady happily pick a few lovely things, I will have a heavy reward!"

"Okay, you two can rest assured to come with me, I promise to let you return with a full load today!" The little guy looked at the twenty or thirty copper plates in his hand, and suddenly smiled and squinted.

Hurriedly took two people on the ship, and on the upper deck, I saw that hundreds of large boxes were spread out, and there were many novel objects in them, which were indeed not available in the New Tang Dynasty.

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at it, and her eyes were immediately attracted by many delicate little things.

Although some restored products have been seen in TV dramas in later generations, these things have become antiques for Japan thousands of years later. And now, these antiquities are really in front of her eyes, how can this make her dislike?

Along the way, she grabbed a sunny day doll and a few small hairpins made of silver, and then her eyes fell on a small jade comb.

This jade comb is not carved from the mutton fat jade that is now customary in the New Tang Dynasty. However, Mu Jiaojiao didn't know about the variety of jade, she just thought that this jade comb was very good-looking, not only small and exquisite, the teeth on the top were neat and symmetrical, and there was a cluster of blooming peonies carved on the back of the comb. Not only that, from the back of the comb to the end of the teeth, from the front to the back, all the colors are light and moist, showing a gradient color, giving people a fresh feeling after the rain after the rain, which is very comfortable.

Seeing that her gaze fell on her head and couldn't take it off, Cui Pu hurriedly reached out to help her get it.

Who knew that the person watching the box next to him immediately stopped him: "This Lang Jun, I'm sorry, this jade comb is the treasure of our town ship, and now I just take it out for everyone to see, and I don't plan to sell it." ”

"Don't sell it, since you don't sell it, what are you doing with it? Do you deliberately attract people's attention in order to raise its value?" Cui Pu immediately drank coldly.

Seeing this, the little guy on the side hurriedly laughed and said: "Lang Jun, please don't be angry, the price of this jade comb is not cheap, and ordinary people really can't afford it." ”

The two of them traveled lightly this time, although they were not badly clothed, and they also brought a few slaves behind them, but how many people on this ship were not like this? Therefore, this group of people naturally regarded them and others as ordinary people from well-off families, and naturally only looked at them in ordinary and even somewhat demeaning eyes.

After three years of experience, Cui Pu is no longer the irascible little Langjun who blew up at the first touch. And to be honest, compared to those who hide knives in their smiles in the officialdom, the person in front of him said it so clearly, which is exactly what he wants.

He just smiled: "No matter how cheap it is, it always has a price, right?" You say, how much is it, as long as it doesn't exceed 10,000 yuan, I'll buy it!"

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, a light smile suddenly rose on the corner of her lips.

She remembered the whispering Cui Pu had whispered to her last night.

I still remember that when he had just finished bathing, he rubbed beside her, and said to her with a villainous look: "Tomorrow, if you like something, just take it, I will pay! You can take as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about money!"

Mu Jiaojiao was stunned. "You're so rich now?"

"Yes!" Cui Pu nodded triumphantly, "Isn't this the business of the Wei Restaurant in Tianchang County getting better and better? After deducting costs, labor, and so on, there were almost 3,000 yuan distributed to me last month! As you know, if Changxian is a new place for Wu Li today, I will not be stupid enough to spend my own money to help him build roads." So, it's useless for me to keep this money in my hand, so I'll just use it for you and my daughter to spend. As long as you're happy, it's worth the money!"

It's really rare, it's her turn to spend his money!

So now, seeing Cui Pu say that sentence so arrogantly, she almost couldn't help it on the spot. This man, after being wealthy, is really getting more and more domineering!

The person who looked at the box didn't expect him to report this number, and he was a little stupid. He blinked desperately, and then he lowered his face and said, "Are you crazy? If you want 10,000 yuan, you still use it here to pick things by yourself? You should have called someone to bring things back and pick them slowly!"

"I just like to pick it myself and come here to join in the fun, can't I?" Cui Pu snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, how much is this comb worth?" Since my lady likes it, no matter how much it costs, we will buy it!"

"I'm afraid you can't afford it no matter how much money you have—"

"This comb, we gave it to the county lady!"

As soon as the voice of the person looking at the box started, a clear voice immediately suppressed him.

Everyone looked back one after another, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy Lang Jun striding towards this side with his head held high.

When he came to Cui Pu, he respectfully saluted Cui Pu: "A certain Qu Sanlang, I have seen Cui Xianzun, I have seen Mrs. Xianzun." ”

"Young owner!" Xiao Wu and the others hurriedly came to salute him.

The person who was still looking at the jade comb with arrogance was now pale. "Young owner, you say this one is ......"

"That's right, he is our newly appointed parent official Cui Xianzun in Hailing County. This time, their husband and wife should have come to Weifu for a private patrol!" Qu Saburo said with a smile, and saluted Cui Pu again, "The slave has no form, and we have collided with the county honorable couple, and we have not disciplined it well." Please also ask Cui Xianzun not to have the same knowledge as them. ”

Cui Pu pouted. "Since you have already called this county a county honor, is this county embarrassed to get along with a kid now?"

"Then I thanked Cui Xianzun on his behalf first!" Qu Sanlang saluted again, and then glanced over there, "Why don't you hurry up and put the jade comb in a hurry and send it to Mrs. Xianzun in a while?"

After that, he smiled at Cui Pu and his wife: "Cui Xianzun and his wife are here, making our boat shine. There are many offenses, and a certain person is willing to prepare a table of banquets, apologize to the two, and invite the two to appreciate their faces. ”

Now that they have all been recognized, they can't stay in this place.

Cui Pu was not very happy in his heart. He really misses when he first came to Yangzhou. At that time, he was not famous, and few people even knew him in the county seat of Tianchang County, so he and Mu Jiaojiao could walk everywhere and do whatever they wanted. As a result, when they arrived in Hailing County, those squires and dignitaries always recognized him at a glance as if they had obtained his portrait!

This time, he specially took Mu Jiaojiao far away, but he didn't play freely for long, and he was recognized again!

It's boring.

Cui Pu bowed: "Then let's go!"

"Two of you, please!" Qu Saburo quickly turned around and led the way.

There were many restaurants near the ferry, but Qu Saburo took them into a seemingly ordinary one. The group entered the restaurant and did not go to the second floor, but passed through a small door at the back and went directly into the courtyard at the back.

This courtyard is also a typical Jiangnan garden, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, which is very poetic and picturesque. The garden is dotted with several houses, which are small and cute.

Qu Saburo walked all the way, pushed open a room door, and ushered Cui Pu and the others in.

After the three of them sat down, someone brought tea.

Cui Pu didn't eat tea, but looked at him coldly: "How do you recognize this county?"

"Although I haven't seen Cui Xianzun, our Qu family and the Wei family are the same famous merchants in Yangzhou City, and my father and the current head of the Wei family are also close friends. My father had met him a few times before he went to sea the year before last. During this time, I heard him mention your name several times. Unfortunately, at that time, he was also with his father, so he learned some news about Cui Xianzun from Wei Shibo. So as soon as I saw you today, I met with Cui Xianzun in Wei Shibo's mouth. Qu Saburo said with a smile.

Then his gaze fell slightly on Mu Jiaojiao. Moreover, just two days ago, Wei Shibo sent a letter to his father, asking him to choose a few suitable for women and young children from this treasure, saying that his aunt was about to give birth, and he would give them a few gifts. Therefore, combined with the current appearance of the county lady, the identity of the two of you has been determined. ”

"You have a bit of an eye. Cui Pu said coldly.

"Thank you Cui County for your compliment. ”

While the two of them were talking, they saw several more servants walking in with four or five boxes.

"What is this?" Cui Pu raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, the things that come out of the boat now are not very good, except for the jade comb. The real good things are in these boxes! To apologize for today's events, Mrs. County, you can pick a few things here at will. Qu Saburo said with a smile, and ordered someone to open the boxes one by one.

The quality and workmanship of the things here are much more refined than those on board, and almost everything is fine.

It's a technical job to pick a few from here.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled secretly in her heart, and was about to ask Cui Pu to help her come up with ideas, but she didn't want a fierce roar to come from outside-

"The surname Qu, you come out for me! Who told you to give away the jade comb? Didn't Lao Tzu tell you that this is Lao Tzu? Who did you give it to? Lao Tzu wants to kill them!"
