Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 46 Five Years
"Boom, boom, boom."

The bell struck three times.

Shen Guo's national bell is so melodious that it can be heard throughout the capital.

The lingering sound is long and soft, just like the sound of Buddha.

The student who was reading raised his head, closed his eyes, and listened for a while with a look of intoxication.

It is said that this is the bell invented by Princess Yi, and it can be transmitted far and far.

Shen Guo is in good weather.

There is the best school, Shenxue.

World famous.

Shen Xue of Shen State, Xi Tower of Xi State, and Jing Qi of Jing State are the three legends in the world.

A person, in his life, who can see one of them, is considered well-informed and enviable and respected.

Among them, Shen Guo has the most famous Shen Xue.

Not everyone can be admitted to Shenxue, Shenxue is the top school in Shenguo.

In addition to applying for school, there are countless schools, large and small.

It is said that the hawkers in Shen Guo are all cultural people.

"Brother, have you ever read a book? The word 'tea' on this tea stall is very good." A middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing silk cloth asked while drinking water from a large bowl.

The boy holding the water was wearing a gray cloth shirt, which looked like it had been washed many times, and the cuffs were a little worn out, but he had a very delicate appearance, and he was even more kind when he smiled, his teeth were white and his eyebrows were curved, which was very pleasing.

Before the boy could answer, an old man in coarse cloth beside him responded first, "Boy Lu doesn't have time to study, he's busy enough to open a tea stall."

The middle-aged man thinks about it, too. Looking at the young man's handsome appearance, he feels like a scholar. Although Shen Guo has the first application, there are no scholars in this wilderness.

"My brother's handwriting is very good." A clear girl's voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a half-grown girl came out of the tea shed hut.

The whole tea stand was silent for a while.

The wilderness, the tea stand, the beautiful characters, and the clean and handsome young man had already amazed the middle-aged man.

It was his first time running this road as a merchant.

This is already the border of Shen State, which borders Jing State. Many merchants come here. Shen State’s ordinary silk tea and porcelain can be sold at a high price in Jing State, and then buy some utensils in Jing State, whether in Shen State or Xi State Can make another fortune.

As long as you have the courage, you don't have to worry about making money.

In the past, this commercial road was said to be full of bandits, and basically there was no return. Only when there was no other way would people go this way, and would rather go to Xiguo to take a long detour.

But in the past two years, it has become much more stable.

Originally, those bandits had disappeared, and it wasn't considered disappearing. It's just that they don't rob now, and change the marked price to collect tolls.

It depends on how much money is shipped.

Although it hurts, but after calculation, there is still a profit, and peace of mind, not only was there no robbery along the way, but when encountering small thieves who robbed, they didn't have to do it. The group of people who collected the toll did it first.

And along the way, there are still many tea stalls for passers-by to rest. Compared with the past, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

Not only Shen Guo, but also merchants in Xi Guo followed this business path.

There is an endless stream of cars and horses coming and going every day.

In this small tea stall, apart from the old man in rough cloth who came out of a nearby village to work, there were also three tables of guests who seemed to be businessmen from afar just like the middle-aged fat man.

These days, those who can travel far to do business are more knowledgeable people.

Even so, when he saw the little girl, he lost his voice.

The young man is handsome and clean, which makes people's eyes shine.

But that girl is like the best jade, born with exquisite craftsmanship and natural beauty.

It makes people feel like they are in a fairyland, seeing the young daughter of the Immortal Emperor.

The middle-aged man in silk cloth with a big belly was a bit stuck in his words.

"Is this your sister?" He looked at the tea boy with hot eyes.

And the guests at the outermost table drank tea quietly after sitting down without saying a word. Now they saw the girl and looked at each other.

Alu nodded helplessly.

He stretched out his hand to grab the younger sister who wanted to go out, but in vain.

Shenyou's short legs are already able to run, and they run extremely fast.

Even A Lu, who has now become the leader of the sentry team, can't catch her.

She ran away easily.

"My sister is young and naughty, the guest officer laughed at me." A Lu said while adding tea.

"Tongyan is interesting, young man, you really know how to write. If you are willing, you can go to do business with me. I belong to the Hu family of Shen Guo." The middle-aged man talked about the Hu family with a look of arrogance. A series of side branches.

When the people around heard the Hu family, they took a breath in cooperation.

Even the coarse cloth old man who lived in the nearby village was amazed: "Hu paper Hu family?"

The fat man nodded proudly and reservedly.

The Hu family is very, very famous in the Kingdom of Shen. They are the number one imperial merchant in the Kingdom of Shen. It is said that they rely on the empress and under the guidance of the talented and intelligent Princess, they made Hu paper that can be handed down from generation to generation, replacing the previous bamboo slips and silks. , Written on sheepskin, the reputation spread far and wide, even the old men in the village knew about it.

A Lu still held an iron pot steadily in his hand, refilling tea for the guests.

He shook his head with a warm smile.

"The family has younger siblings to take care of, so it's not suitable to travel far. Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your attention. I hope that you will go here and return with a full load. When the time comes, you can sit at my tea stall and I will pour tea for you."

Hearing the young man say that, the middle-aged fat man burst into a smile. He likes to hear people call him Mr. Hu, and he finds the young man's witty and lovable.

"sure."

The young man spoke interestingly, but everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the girl.

The girl is so beautiful, but her hair is a little short, and there is a small tangle on her head.

Shen Guoren's pursuit of appearance has reached an extreme.

Yan Hao, in Shen Guo, is very popular everywhere.

Unexpectedly, such a little girl appeared in this wilderness tea stand, always felt a little weird.

But judging by the old man's expression, the girl is indeed the younger sister of the boy from the tea stand.

The girl dodged her brother's hand, blew the whistle, and a tall, handsome horse with a dark body ran to the tea stand. The little girl grabbed the rope, jumped lightly, and turned over and sat on the horse's back.

"Brother, I'm going back to find Aunt Luo."

Alu, who has become the leader of the sentry team, can kill big pythons, giant tigers, and wild boar kings, but he is completely helpless when facing his only younger sister.

I had to shout: "Don't run around, or Aunt Luo will beat you again when you go back."

"Understood, brother." The girl's crisp voice was still there, but the man had already rode away.

The tea customer who was drinking tea on the outermost side also got up and left.

The fat man who claimed to be from the Hu family saw those people walking away, so he whispered to Ah Lu: "Ahem, little shopkeeper, those people just now were all armed with weapons. I'm afraid they are not good people. They look like After chasing your sister, you should go and have a look."

A Lu shook his head and said: "Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your kind words, but this is the first time for Mr. Hu to come to this road. This road is safe, even safer than the city. My sister walks every day. It's okay. You see The sole of the right foot is not strong, let me fix it for you..."

Fatty thinks about it because he is overthinking, but he heard the boy say that his horse's soles are not strong, so he hurried over to look, and sure enough, there are some problems. The method of horseshoes was also proposed by Princess Yi. Today's princess is really a genius. I can think of such a method, but it is not very firm, and it is always easy to fall off...

Green grassland, blue sky, white clouds, flying eagles.

Big black horse.

Girl rocking on horseback.

There is also a group of people chasing around.

It was the few people who were sitting on the outermost edge drinking tea just now.

Shenyou was sitting on the horseback, the sun was a little bit sunburned, although she didn't get tanned, she got more and more tanned, but she still hated the delay, she said seriously: "You are blocking my way."
