sweet wife little confused

Chapter 263 Rendezvous
Along the way, An Xiu'er did spend a lot of money. She told An Tieshi before that whenever she went to a place, she had to build a Zhuangzi in that place. She really did this. Along the way, She has already bought a lot of land to build a Zhuangzi.

Every time a Zhuangzi is built, it is inevitable to put a few guards as supervisors, and buy some servants, which leads to fewer and fewer guards along the way.

But this time, An Xiuer considered that they didn't bring many guards and didn't want to build new buildings. She planned to bring more people and build some houses when she came next year. In her imagination, the shop that lives in someone else's house is a Zhuangzi eighty miles away, connecting her entire business route.

Of course, this is a big project, and it is not so simple to implement, because in many places, there are no people in sight after a few days of walking along the way. It is really difficult to build Zhuangzi in such places.

However, people come out of the road, as long as they want to do it, there is still a way. As long as they have enough money to do things nowadays, everything will be much more convenient. It's just that An Xiu'er is not enough manpower now, and she can't spare the time to do these things. , as she bought more and more servants and recruited more and more guards, she believed that all this would become a reality.

Take your time, earn money if you need it, and buy people if you need it. All this is just a matter of time. She believes that as long as there is time, all her ideas will come true.

In fact, they also encountered many post stations along the way, but due to the political ambiguity of the imperial court, many post stations became deserted, existing in name only, An Xiu'er felt a little moved every time she saw these.

It is too simple for the imperial court to do things, but meat eaters are contemptuous, and they have not really considered for the common people, nor have they taken these matters to heart.

Then let her do all of this, and when this business route is opened, she believes that everything will be much more convenient. She has a gully in her heart, and she firmly believes that her act of building a villa will bring her unexpected gains.

After staying in this small city called Qianhui City for a few days, An Xiuer went to Koryo to meet Fang Yuan. This small city is not far from Koryo, but within a few days' journey, everyone arrived at the capital of Koryo. .

An Xiu'er originally thought that it might not be easy for her to find Fang Yuan since Koryo is such a big country, but she didn't expect that it was only the first day, just after the capital of Koryo, she found Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan came a few days before her, because he was worried that An Xiu'er would not be able to find him, so these days, he sent people to wait for them outside the city gate.

Just now when she entered the city, a guard came over and asked if it was someone from the Zhang family. She guessed it was Fang Yuan's man. After listening to the guard's introduction, it was true. She followed him to Fang Yuan's inn. Fang Yuan had already put everything away. It's all arranged.

"Mrs. Zhang is finally here. I have been waiting for you for several days." Seeing An Xiu'er, Fang Yuan cupped his hands.

"Master Fang has been waiting for a long time." An Xiu'er also replied.

"It is true that Mrs. Zhang came a bit late, I thought you would not come." Fang Yuan said, guiding An Xiu'er and the others to sit down on their seats.

"How come, since I promised you, I will definitely come." After sitting down, An Xiu'er straightened her robes, and then said: "It's just that when I was in Qianhui City, I had to deal with some matters and wasted some time. "

"Qianhui City?" Fang Yuan smiled, poured a cup of tea for An Xiu'er and the two, and said, "I passed by there before, if I stayed in Qianhui City for two more days, maybe I can see you now."

"It's okay, as long as we can meet each other." An Xiu'er said with a smile. After all, he invited her to come to the Western Regions this time. If she didn't meet him, she would inevitably feel a little regretful.

"Mrs. Zhang brought a lot of people this time. It seems that Mrs. Zhang is already ready for this time, right?" Fang Yuan joked with a smile when he saw that An Xiuer had brought hundreds of people this time. said a word.

"No, actually, I just came along with our caravan this time." An Xiu'er said.

"Ms. Zhang always said that she followed the caravan on the way, and she gained a lot every time. It would be great if I could do the same." Fang Yuan picked up the teapot and poured some tea for her.

"It's really on the way this time. If you don't believe me, you can ask my elder brother." An Xiuer took a sip of tea and looked at An Tieshi.

An Tieshi said: "We are indeed here to discuss business in the Western Regions this time. It happened that Master Fang invited Sister Sister, so Sister Sister came together."

"Oh, I see. So you just said that when you were in Qianhui City, you were delayed for a while, and you were discussing business?" Fang Yuan said clearly.

Seeing that he had guessed it, An Xiu'er nodded without hiding anything.

Fang Yuan opened the fan in his hand, and said, "This time you came to Koryo, the carriages and horses are empty, so I guess your goods must have been sold in Qianhui City, and... it is very likely that they were sold to Sapphire Trading Company or It's Luojia Trading Company."

"How do you know?" An Xiu'er was a little surprised, there were quite a few merchants in Qianhui City, and he was able to guess who her goods were sold to in an instant.

"It's not difficult to guess. The two of them are quite well-known in Qianhui City." Fang Yuan said, "But next time you come to the Western Regions to do business, sell your goods to Korea, or go for a few more days." , Going to Loulan, there may be even bigger surprises, just be careful of the bandits who rob the passing merchants on the road."

"Thank you, Master Fang for your reminder." An Xiu'er said, "In this way, Master Fang must have had business dealings with them."

"I can't help it." Fang Yuan sighed, and said, "Since Mrs. Zhang told me last time, I have decided to work hard to make money, otherwise I will just sit and eat like this. Next time I see some nice emeralds." Jade, there is really no money to buy it."

"I'm on the same level as you now, and I don't know the price of this rough Kunlun Mountain jade. If it's too expensive, I won't be able to play. I can only come here to see the world." An Xiu'er said.

"Madam Zhang, don't underestimate yourself. Madam Zhang said that you have seen the world, and you may gain the most by then." Fang Yuan said.

An Xiu'er smiled, and said: "I've never looked at rough jade, this time, maybe it's a real bamboo basket and it's all gone."

"Before that moment, don't say such frustrating words. If you are too modest, it will make people feel like showing off." Fang Yuan said.

An Xiu'er stopped talking. She really didn't have much confidence. There are too many people in this world who don't recognize Jingshan jade. She has no experience, so it's normal for her not to be able to distinguish.

In the Zhang family's secret book, there are a lot of secrets about the survey of rough jadeite, but there are not many surveys about this kind of Hetian jade and nephrite jade. If they want to come to the Western Regions, the Kunlun Mountains, they have not been there many times. , I hope she can really know everything, and she can also shine in this way of looking at rough jade.

After chatting for a while, An Xiu'er went back to her room to rest, and had dinner together at night. Fang Yuan and An Xiu'er discussed the route, and the next day, the group headed for Kunlun Mountain.

The further you go to Kunlun Mountains, the colder it becomes. Before, you could wear cotton jackets in the morning and gauze in the afternoon, but when you arrive at Kunlun Mountains, even wearing cotton jackets is useless because it is too cold.

An Xiu'er was originally a person who was afraid of the cold, but she contracted the wind and cold on the first day she came to Kunlun Mountain, and immediately fell ill.

She felt that she was really an unlucky person. She had come here. She had gone through thorns and thorns all the way, lived and slept in the open air, but she came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but she no longer had the energy to walk up Kunlun Mountain.

This Kunlun Mountain is a sacred mountain in the eyes of local people. Kunlun Mountain is full of treasures. In the deep mountains of Kunlun Mountain, there are people who specialize in mining jade. Sometimes, some jade will be washed down by a winding river on the mountain. Many nearby The local residents pan for gold in this river, and they firmly believe that they can pick up jade stones washed down from the upper reaches of this river.

In fact, the probability is not high. I heard that at the beginning, someone picked up a beautiful stone by the river, and then he fell while walking. Unexpectedly, the stone cracked, revealing the jade inside. , Later, this story spread for some reason, and the nearby mountain people all came here to pan for gold.

An Xiu'er does not deny the authenticity of this matter, but no matter how true this matter is, it has nothing to do with her, because she can only lie on the bed in the inn these days, covered with a thick quilt, light the brazier in the room, close the The windows, like this, still feel uncomfortable.

The illness came like a mountain. After all, she is just a weak woman. Even if she has the experience of trekking through mountains and rivers a few times, she has traveled for too long. She looked fine at first, but this illness revealed all her flaws Out.

The weather is really cold, and it has even snowed these days.

"I won't be able to go to Nanzhao this year." An Xiu'er held the stove in her hands and sighed. Her illness has delayed her work here for several days.

"If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have come to the Western Regions. Ma'am, we might as well go to Nanzhao. The weather in Nanzhao is good, and it's not as cold as this place." Qiu Yu said softly.

"That's right, Master Fang is all to blame for inviting you to this kind of place. This place is so cold and deserted. How can you come?" Chun Equinox said dissatisfied.

At this moment Fang Yuan happened to be standing at the door intending to visit An Xiu'er, after hearing this, he echoed outside the door, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

She didn't think it was impolite for Chun Equinox to say bad things about others, but she just said through the door, "Of course it's your fault."

"Don't be rude like this. What does this have to do with Master Fang? I wanted to come here myself." An Xiu'er reprimanded in a low voice.

"Ma'am, you still speak for him. I think this place is really not a place for people to stay." Chun Equinox said.
