877th Caravan

Therefore, the grass is all over the country, and the parting is sad.

The road is out of the cold clouds, and people return to the twilight snow.

In a caravan heading to Shanxi.

Xiao Han, Cheng Yanjin, and Luo Shixin were wearing thick cotton clothes at this time, sitting in an inconspicuous carriage and napping.

Normally, when the snow closes the mountain, things like caravans stop functioning and wait for winter to pass.

However, since the coal stove has flourished in the market in the past two years.

The shrewd businessmen found that no matter how much charcoal they had on hand, in the end, they would fill the bottomless pit of Chang'an!

Especially in winter, the price of coal is rising again and again!

This huge benefit makes many people prefer to brave the wind and snow to earn this hard-earned money.

As a result, between Chang'an and Shanxi, there were slowly more large and small caravans, which could be regarded as adding a little busy atmosphere to this cold winter.

"Whew...... How long will it take to get there? ”

yawned several times in succession, Xiao Han said angrily, while lifting the thick curtain of the car and looking out.

Outside, a blanket of silver, leaving only a dark road under your feet, winding into the distance.

"Hey, come early! How can it take ten days! ”

In the carriage, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes did not open, and he replied to Xiao Han without raising his hand.

"More than ten days? That's too slow! Can you still go home for the New Year this year? ”

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and was about to complain, when a cold wind suddenly blew outside, and he shivered violently, hurriedly put down the car curtain, and put his hand back into the warm sleeve to copy it.

"Disgusted with slowness?" The car darkened, Cheng Yanjin reopened his eyes, glanced Xiao Han up and down and said disdainfully: "Slow is not what you are looking for?" If I had listened to me, the three of us would have ridden directly on the road, and now we would have arrived in Hebei early! ”

"Horseback riding in this weather? Can't freeze you into a popsicle? Xiao Han pouted and said.

Cheng Biting Jin glared: "It's better to freeze into a popsicle than to grind blindly now, you said you!" If you have to follow the caravan, you have to go around Shanxi, this big circle is going around, and the distance is almost doubled! What the hell is the picture? ”

"I ...... I'm too lazy to tell you! ”

Xiao Han couldn't explain the reason for the detour to Shanxi to Cheng Yanjin, so he had to sneer: "You have a lot of problems!" Look at Xiao Luo, don't say anything, just follow along. ”

"Xiao Luo? He has a bear temper, and he doesn't bother to move when it's cold. Cheng Yanjin turned his head to look at Luo Shixin, who was motionless, and didn't know what he thought, and suddenly smiled.

"Phew, a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, you're a bear!" Luo Shixin suffered an unjustified disaster, and he couldn't help but open his eyes and curse back.

Xiao Han laughed on the side: "Hahahaha, Lao Luo, your analogy is amazing!" Look at Lao Cheng, he has a big waist and a round neck, isn't it just a bear?

Hey, hey, what are you going to do? The gentleman doesn't move his hands! Oops, hit someone! Does anyone care? ”

"Phew, Lao Tzu is not a gentleman, Lao Tzu is a rough man......"

"I hate rough people! Lao Luo, save me......"

The carriage shook violently, and even the horses with the cart were unsteady and neighed.

"Ayer."

In front of the convoy, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man heard the voice, looked back at Xiao Han's carriage in disgust, and then said to the strong man on the road:

"Why are we taking those three with us? They don't do anything, they are in the car, they don't keep vigil at night, they eat actively!

Just that fat man, one person can eat three people's servings! And the thinnest one, you have to pick and choose what you eat, and you really think you're an uncle? ”

The strong man who walked in front of him looked at his face, and he belonged to the kind of person who had been going south and north for a long time, so he was not displeased with his son's complaints, but just smiled lightly: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people!" Besides, it's just a little bit of food, don't take it personally! ”

"However, every day we are so busy, they ......" The young man's heart was still full of resentment.

The strong man waved his hand to interrupt his son's words, and said with a stern face: "San Lang, be cautious!" To us, they are like guests! Help do something, that's kind to people. Stay quiet, it is also what people should do, don't mention this matter again in the future, and don't look at people again. ”

"Humph! I look down on three big men huddled together anyway!! ”

At the age of a young man, it is the period of youth and rebellion, how could his mind be changed by his father's words?

So after snorting coldly, he simply reined in the mules and horses under him, and went directly to the back of the line, and when he passed Xiao Han's carriage, he didn't forget to spit under the wheels.

Seeing such a scene, the strong man just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, my son is big after all!" ”

"Haha, San Lang's temper is with you, big brother!"

Behind him, a caravan brother caught up, and when he heard the man's words, he couldn't help grinning and said loudly.

The strong man glanced at the person who spoke, and then looked at the sunset that was about to set, and he didn't know what he thought, so he shook off his whip lightly and said: "In the end, I am young and vigorous, I was like him at the same age, and I don't know how much I have suffered for this temper, hey......"

The man who just spoke grinned nonchalantly: "But big brother, aren't you all out now?" In your hometown, who doesn't say that your eldest brother has a lot of money and has bought a large number of family businesses?

Oh, that's right, big brother! The nobleman in Chang'an said that as long as we take these three people together, the price of the coal shipped back this time will rise by 30%, can this matter be taken seriously? ”

When the strong man thought of the noble man in Chang'an, his expression couldn't help but stagnate, and then he nodded firmly: "You can take it seriously!" She never breaks her word. ”

"That's a lot of money......

"For us! But for others, it may not even be a drop in the bucket......"

"Shhh...... That noble man is so rich? Big brother, you said that if we call a few other colleagues together this time, and we will take some money from them, wouldn't it be a distribution? ”

"Huh?"

When the strong man heard this, he suddenly turned his head! A pair of eyes were glued to the man who spoke!

The man who spoke was stared at by the strong man and was uncomfortable, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Big brother, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously!" ”

The strong man's clenched fist kept making a crisp sound, and after a long time, he let go of his fist and said, "Don't talk like this in the future!" People can't stand without faith, and industry can't prosper without faith! If anyone has such thoughts in the future and is known to me, don't blame me for being welcome!! ”

(The Tang Dynasty title is very different from the modern title, where the son calls his father Aye, or Yeye.)

For example, Du Fu's "Soldier Chariot Travel", which contains the poem "Ye Niang's wife goes to see each other off".

In addition, like my brother and my lord, these two also refer to my father!

But because these were too obscure, Coke was abandoned and changed to a modern popular name.

So pay attention now, if any big guy really crosses over, don't call the official an adult in the Tang Dynasty, it is equivalent to recognizing your father everywhere and will be beaten to death...... )
