The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 329
The child grinned, but the old couple who had just seen it were so frightened that they hurried forward to salute and apologize, "Guest officer, the child is ignorant and has caused you trouble."

"No trouble, the child is very smart."

Lu Qian handed the child and the snack box to the old woman, making the old woman thank you again.

Soon, the old man welcomed Lu Qian's master and servant into the tea stand and sat at the only vacant table.

The old woman put the child in a large basin with a high rim, and the child took a piece of snack and ate it sweetly with a smile.The old lady poured tea in a hurry, and finally brought it carefully to Lu Qian's master and servant, and greeted him humbly, "Guest officer, please drink tea. We don't have any good tea in our small place, so don't dislike it."

"Ma'am, you're being polite."

Lu Qian nodded, looking at the blue turban on her head, like those aunts and aunts in Laoxiongling, she felt very friendly, so she motioned for the dog to give more money for tea.

Naturally, Gouzi is not stingy, although their master and servant have been roaming throughout Dayuan in the past few years, the salary of the inspectors is not much.

But firstly, Lu Qian didn't need to mail money home, and secondly, when he was about to leave, Xiaomi, who almost treated his brother like a child, had already stuffed 5000 taels of silver in his luggage.

Occasionally, when meeting people in poor places who needed help, or families in trouble, Lu Qian would often help them.

Even so, seeing the capital in sight, Gouzi, the temporary butler, still had hundreds of taels of silver bills on his body, and dozens of taels of silver in his purse.

He casually picked up one and a half taels, stretched out his hand and stuffed it to the old woman.

"Ma'am, you take the tea money."

"Oh, there are too many, just a few pennies are enough!"

The old woman who was frightened by the sudden windfall did not dare to accept it at all, and kept pushing back.

Gouzi insisted on stuffing it into her hand, and added habitually, "If Ma'am feels sorry, just pick up the latest news and tell us something exciting, okay?"

After saying this, he felt a little regretful. After all, he was going to the capital soon, and his family members were all there. If he wanted to know anything, he couldn't bear it and ran here to ask an old woman.

However, before he could change the subject, a businessman on the table next to him turned his head and greeted them with a smile, "Are you two fellow brothers who travel north and south?"

Lu Qian was amused to hear that, he had always traveled around under the pretense of being a traveling student, and this was the first time he was being treated as a merchant.But it doesn't matter, so he nodded and said, "Exactly, this old man has really good eyesight. We came from Liuzhou in the south, and we wanted to see what good things there are in Kyoto to resell back to our hometown. However, we have never been there Jingdu, I am afraid that I will suffer from the unfamiliarity of the place, so I plan to ask a few words."

"That's it," the businessman who accosted was enthusiastic, took the tea bowl and sat down directly at Lu Qian's table, and said in a low voice, "Since we met, it is fate, my brother reminds you, if you want to resell something fresh Goods, why don't you just cross the capital and go directly to Bei'an Prefecture, buy some grassland specialties and stock up. Maybe there will be rare goods to live in in the future, this capital...doesn't matter if you don't go soon."

"Why do you say that?" Lu Qian's heart jumped up for no reason when he heard it, and subconsciously leaned over to ask, "Kyoto is the most prosperous place in Dayuan, and there are always the most good things. How can we cross the capital to go to the North?"

"Oh, brother, if it is a normal day, you are right to say that, but now... I am afraid it is a bit inconvenient. There has been a lot of noise in the capital recently, maybe something big will happen. Don't make money, but be contaminated with disasters. If you are still an old man, go directly to the Northland."

"What a disaster? How can it not be quiet at the feet of the emperor in the majestic capital?"

This time even Gouzi can't stand it anymore. You must know that the Lu family is the mansion of the Duke, the girl from the Lu family is the empress, and the capital is half of the base camp.Hearing that Kyoto has become a troubled place in the mouths of merchants, he naturally felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that the master and servant both looked like this, the merchant lost his temper and said in a low voice, "You guys, why don't you listen to persuasion? We don't have any hatred. I can still lie to you. You don't know, Something happened in Kyoto. An official who watched the sky was hanged, and left a letter saying that the queen's milk girl in the palace was a monster, a saint of Zoroastrianism, and the severe drought and flood in the southern states were all because of the queen. The empress only appeared, and it was the punishment of Vulcan. Many people clamored for the emperor to abolish the empress empress...You all know that the empress empress favors the harem, so there must be a means, how could she be willing to be abolished, say There may not be a fight. When the gods fight, we ordinary people, if we can hide, we must hide far away, otherwise, whoever will be unlucky."

The old woman who was bringing two kinds of wild fruits, after hearing this, interjected, "A few days ago, the empress took the lead in donating money to the victims of the disaster. Good man."

"Well, you can't say for sure. We ordinary people just watch the incidents in the court, and there will always be an explanation. Otherwise, if 10,000+ victims of the disaster make a fuss, it will be no small matter."

The merchant drank his tea and shook his head. He said this to the old lady, but he didn't notice that Lu Qian's master and servant had changed his face.

Lu Qian got up immediately, glanced at the few horses tied to the tree stump not far from the door, went straight to pull one of them off, turned up, shook the rein and ran away.

The merchant was so startled that the tea was soaked through his front and he couldn't even care about it. He ran out and yelled, "Oh, someone stole my horse! No, it's a stolen horse!"

But before he finished shouting, the dog had already thrown the purse in his hand to him, and finally quickly took the luggage in the carriage, and shouted loudly, "These silver and the carriage are enough to buy two horses!"

After all, he also jumped on a horse and ran away after his master.

The merchant was completely dumbfounded, and jumped up in anger. After all, the old woman still thought of Lu Qian's master and servant, and persuaded, "Guest officer, let's see how much money is in the purse. There are horse sellers in our town. If you need it , let my old man lead you there."

The merchant had no choice but to open the purse, and the result was more than 70 taels, which made him happy.

You know, a good horse is only 30 taels, and the two medium-sized horses that were ridden away are only 50 taels, and they earned 20 taels for nothing.

Thinking this way, he didn't care about it any more. Instead, he took a sip of tea in a hurry, called three or four guys, and hurriedly moved the goods to the carriage, and then set foot on the road back home with the windfall.

Not to mention how happy the merchant was, but to say that Lu Qian's master and servant rode horses all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the capital in time for the sunset.

The orange-red sunset sprinkled on the tall city walls, which is quite magnificent. This is also a must-see for many people who come to Kyoto for the first time. Write two poems and leave a masterpiece that will make future generations fantasize and miss.

Lu Qian has been wandering abroad for three years, so he naturally missed it, but now he sees it again, but he doesn't have any intention of appreciating it.

The guards at the city gate, who were rushing to close the gate, saw Lu Qian's master and servant coming on horseback from a distance, thinking that there was an emergency military situation somewhere, and were worried, but when they got closer, they found that it did not look like a messenger, and they were somewhat disapproving.

In the end, what Lu Qian threw was the inspector's signboard, and the guards were so frightened that they deliberately opened the half-closed door an extra foot to let the master and servant in.

Lu Qian's mouth was so dry that his skin was peeling. He rode his horse all the way into the city. No matter how urgent he was, he couldn't ride the horse. After all, there were people on the road. If they trampled on it, it would hurt the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. He felt very sorry.

So, when the master and servant finally reached the gate of the Duke's Mansion, it was already completely dark.

Menzi is not a stranger, they are all youngsters from Lao Xiongling, and he has a simple and honest temperament. He has lived in the capital for several years and has never been bullied by anyone.

Seeing Lu Qian's return, the young man turned around and shouted, "Quickly report to Mr. Third Young Master is back!"

Thus, the entire Duke's Mansion, and even the passers-by on the road in front of the gate, knew that the Empress Empress was the closest brother, and came back!

In the study in the front yard of the Duke's Mansion, Father Lu was talking to Chen Xin.

The little maid came in with tea, she was very careful, not because the master was so strict, she was afraid of being punished for doing something wrong.Rather, the reason why this study is called a study is that these two words are really not wasted.Everywhere you look, there are books.

Not to mention the bookshelves, there are book boxes on the Duobao Pavilion, even on the ground.

There are old and new books, some were sent by outsiders, and some were originally in stock at the Lu family.It is really the name of Papa Lu's good book, which is well-known throughout Dayuan.

Therefore, when giving gifts to the Lu family, they seldom embarrass everyone. There is no other reason, and sending books must not be wrong.

Father Lu originally liked to read, but after moving to the Duke's Mansion in Kyoto, except when Xiaomi secretly took a few children out of the palace and came back to stay for a few days, he became more and more immersed in the sea of ​​books.

If it weren't for the fierce disturbances in the capital and the fact that Xiaomi's background was related, he would not have come ashore from the sea of ​​books.

Chen Xin saw that Father Lu had become thinner than the last time he met, so he persuaded him, "Master Lu, you can't be so obsessed with reading, if your mother knows, I'm afraid she will take all your books into the palace." gone."

"Oh, that can't be done." Father Lu waved his hand quickly, thought for a while and said, "I just got a box of lonely copies, why don't I hide them with you first. If you have read these, Xiaomi will just confiscate them."

Chen Xin really couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed in his heart.

The greatest blessing of the Lu family is to have a daughter like Xiaomi, otherwise, with Father Lu being so obsessed with books, the boss Lu is simple and honest, and the second brother Lu is reckless. It's just food and clothing, how can there be the wealth and splendor of today, rich clothes and fine food.

"Master, let's talk about the collection of books after the fact. I came today to deliver a message to my mother, and my mother said..."

He was in the middle of speaking when he suddenly heard a noise at the door, so he stopped talking.

Soon a young man ran in and shouted in surprise, "Master, the third young master is back!"

"Oh, Dejing is back!"

Both Father Lu and Chen Xin stood up happily. Of course, Father Lu was discussing how to share his daughter's worries because of his son's return.Chen Xin, on the other hand, sighed that there was finally a reliable person to discuss important matters...
