From Huazhou Huiye Mansion to Jiang Anyi's home in Pingshan Town, Xinqi, Dezhou, it is necessary to travel through five states, a distance of more than 2,600 miles, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the distance is farther than from Pingshan Town to Yongchang City, the imperial capital.

The day is turned back to July 15th, the night of the full moon, there is only one month before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, in the pavilion, the family sits around, drinking the honey fruit that has been poured by the well water, sweet and warm. Looking at the moon and thinking about people, Jiang Anyi suddenly wanted to let his mother and Yan'er, as well as relatives and friends in Pingshan Town, also taste the delicious food of Huazhou.

No matter how far the distance is, Jiang Anyi's homesickness is not stopped, and six carriages full of sugar and fruits are escorted to Pingshan Town by Weiyuan Dart Bureau, this trip Jiang Anyi has a request, to be delivered within a month, for the shelf life of honey fruits Jiang Anyi has no bottom in his heart.

In order to curry favor with Jiang Thorn Shishi, Luo Shiming, the chief dart head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, agreed with his mouth, and even wanted to personally lead the team to Pingshan Town, Xinqi County, Texas. How could Zhang Tiangang let his master go on a long journey at an old age, so that he could take over the matter, Luo Shiming told him to tell Zhang Tiangang to do the matter well, even if he lost his capital, he would please Jiang Tingshi.

The honey fruit is packed in a clay pot, and it is easy to break when the road is bumpy, and the dart line has experience in transporting porcelain, so the clay pot is neatly stacked in the box, and the soft grass is stuffed around it, and then the wooden box is firmly fixed with ropes.

Six hundred cans of sugar and fruits, originally three cars could be loaded, but in order to ensure speed, Luo Shiming insisted on loading six cars, equipped with twenty-six dart masters, and transported a large number of goods to the Western Regions on weekdays, and there would be such a scale of more than 1,000 taels of commissions.

Zhang Tiangang took the most capable dart master of the dart game, bid farewell to the master and led the team to Pingshan Town. In advance, Jiang Thorn Shi explained that this batch of honey fruits likes cold and is afraid of heat, so they can only go early and stay late. This is a big taboo in the dart line, the dart pays attention to early departure and early accommodation, and the evening is the time when the green forest heroes are active, and it is easy to have accidents.

Zhang Tiangang rode on the horse, listening to the executioner in front of him shouting loudly, "Weiyuan Dart Bureau, borrow the way from friends in the rivers and lakes", and his heart was not a taste. He rarely met opponents when he came out of the school, and the heroes on the rivers and lakes respected and feared him, and he created the name of "Broken Soul Claw" in the year of the weak crown, which made him arrogant, except for the master, the two senior brothers did not pay much attention to it.

Although the competition in Han Fu ended in a draw, Zhang Tiangang knew that he was not Jiang Anyi's opponent, and he was defeated by a person younger than him, which made him feel lost. After going back, he practiced hard again, thinking of finding a chance to get back on the field, but he didn't expect that the merchant from the Western Regions suddenly became the new Huazhou Assassin.

The master was very frightened when he learned the news, which made Zhang Tiangang quite puzzled, in his heart, the master was a man who stood up to the sky, how many times he had seen the wind and waves, how could he be so afraid of a hairy boy. Luo Shiming told Zhang Tiangang about his worries, "Breaking the county order and destroying the history of the assassination", who dares to go against the government except for rebellion.

How dare people not bow their heads under the low eaves, so when Zhang Tiangang saw Jiang Anyi from a distance in the Hua family's farm, his first thought was to escape, don't cause trouble to the master. However, Zhang Tiangang was full of resentment towards Jiang Anyi, thinking that he was not a good man with the help of the government's power to oppress people, and this time he had to curry favor with Jiang Anyi, which made Zhang Tiangang deeply frustrated.

Because the goods transported are afraid of heat, Zhang Tiangang takes the dart team to set off every day, Chen Wei rests, waits for the sun to set in the west, and then goes on the road at the end of Shen Shi, and stays in the hotel at the time. In this way, I can travel for three and a half hours a day, but the goods are not heavy, and I can walk more than 100 miles a day.

Zhang Tiangang's heart was full of resentment, and he wanted to find a few blind thieves to vent his anger, out of Huazhou, through the merger, Lou, Fang, Renzhou, and finally into Texas. After Bingzhou and Louzhou took a few groups of blind bandits to vent their anger, the future journey became peaceful, which made Zhang Tiangang have nowhere to fire.

The journey went smoothly, and the time to arrive at Pingshan Town, Xinqi County, Dezhou was four days ahead of schedule, and Zhang Tiangang and others appeared on the road to Pingshan Town on 11 August. Zhang Tiangang looked at the endless stream of people around him, and secretly sighed in his heart, this is like a small town, and the several big counties that pass along the way are not as lively here.

A few miles away from Pingshan Town, the rich fragrance of flowers wafts over. On the way, Zhang Tiangang and others heard that Pingshan Town is a famous flower town in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter what season you come here, you can see a beautiful sea of flowers. Now the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, it is the time when the osmanthus flowers are fragrant, under the osmanthus tree in the field of the mountain, there are many big girls and little daughters-in-law and old women holding coarse cloth, some people shake the osmanthus tree, the yellow flowers fall like rain, and fall on the coarse cloth that is enclosed.

The traffic on the avenue is busy, judging from the clothes, there are rich idlers riding high-headed horses and carrying scholars and servants, there are scholars wearing green shirts and holding folding fans, as well as young ladies and girls who ride incense carts and sit in soft sedan chairs, as well as traders who come to buy goods in horse-drawn carriages, and the whole Pingshan Town is more lively than Xinqi County except for the city gate.

Along the way, there are people picking osmanthus under the tree, and a dart master exclaimed: "There are so many osmanthus trees, how many osmanthus cakes and osmanthus sugar have to be made from the picked osmanthus flowers." ”

As soon as the words came out, they were immediately greeted with a lot of sarcastic smiles on the road, with a reserve and pride in the smiles that looked down on outsiders. An old man with a white beard said a lesson: "Outsiders have little knowledge, don't they know that our Pingshan Town is a perfume production area?" Flowers bloom throughout the year, and these flowers are used to make perfumes. ”

When Zhang Tiangang was in Huazhou, he learned from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions that there was a perfume shop in the capital that sold all kinds of floral perfumes. Na Hu Shang took out a bottle from the layers of wooden boxes and showed him that the price of two perfumes in a three-inch-long porcelain bottle was actually a hundred taels of silver.

Hu Shang proudly told him that this perfume was very popular in the eastern market of Beijing, only 100 bottles were sold every day, and each person was limited to 10 bottles, and he queued up in front of the perfume shop in the middle of the night to buy the 10 bottles in the box. Hu Shang's words shocked Zhang Tiangang very much, there are never too many buyers to sell goods, why does the owner of this perfume shop restrict the sale of perfumes.

Zhang Tiangang still clearly remembered that Hu Shang said: "This bottle of perfume can be exchanged for at least twenty taels of gold when it arrives in Xiuli Country." "Twenty taels of gold is four hundred taels of silver, hundreds of people up and down the dart line, and the income is only 100,000 taels a year, but it is the value of hundreds of bottles of perfume.

"If you want to say that our Pingshan Town is really a treasure of feng shui, otherwise the eldest son of the Jiang family can win the champion, and our Pingshan Town has been a prosperous life over the years." The old man was obviously from Pingshan Town, and pointed to the crowd of people who kept coming and going: "Look, I don't know how many outsiders come to our Pingshan Town every day, and dozens of inns in the town are full every day. It is said that scholars are noble, you see that the streets are full of scholars, and there are even scholars from thousands of miles away who come here, as for the businessmen, there are too many to count. ”

The old man gushed endlessly, this set of words is estimated to have been said hundreds of times, and even his demeanor and demeanor have been practiced mellowly, touching his beard and raising his head slightly, and his eyes are slightly smug and proud. The dart master was shocked by the old man's words and asked, "Is the perfume produced in Pingshan Town, I thought it was the property of some prince in the capital." ”

"Rare and strange", the old man showed a look of disdain, and said with a look of honor: "This perfume was pondered by Jiang Zhuangyuan, and the eldest son of the Jiang family has to call my uncle when he sees me." ”

Perfume is actually the Jiang family's industry, no wonder some people call Jiang Anyi a golden hand, Zhang Tiangang woke up from the shock, and shouted angrily at the dart master: "What a mouth, don't go quickly." ”

The dart team quickly stopped in front of the Jiang house, and after the report, a white-bearded housekeeper came out, took the letter sent by Jiang Anyi, and beckoned the family to move the goods on the car into the house.

The Jiang family has money, and if they don't take it for nothing, Zhang Tiangang accepted it unceremoniously. The time is not early, Zhang Tiangang decided to live in Pingshan Town today and return to Huazhou tomorrow.

The inn is not easy to find, and it is not easy to find one in the remote place in the south of the town, the store is black, the price is more expensive by three points elsewhere, and the shopkeeper and the guy are all arrogant faces, and they can't live in love. Zhang Tiangang really wanted to return to Xinqi County to live in the hotel, but when he came to Pingshan Town, Jiang Anyi's hometown, Zhang Tiangang always wanted to explore something.

Pingshan Town is a good place to enjoy the flowers, the dart masters go out to play in twos and threes, Zhang Tiangang changed his clothes, and went out to hang out with his hands behind his back, but he did not go to Siye to see the scenery, but circled around the front and back of the Jiang house, thinking about whether to enter the house at night to explore.

Dong'er took her husband's letter and read it to her mother-in-law word by word, Jiang Anyi asked the family in the letter, his son was one year old, and as a father who was not around, Jiang Anyi felt a little guilty and felt a little sorry for his son and Dong'er. In the letter, Jiang Anyi revealed the idea of coming to Huazhou to reunite with her family, and Dong'er was of course moved to reunite with her husband.

Jiang Huang smiled: "My old woman won't go to such a far place, after the New Year, you can take Chenzhi to Huazhou." ”

After more than half a year of getting along, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along happily, from the heart, compared to Xinfei, Jiang Huang's family prefers Dong'er, and this daughter-in-law is as kind as the girl who grew up in the village. Dong'er said: "Mother, who will honor you when I leave the house, and Chenzhi can't do without you." ”

Speaking of his grandson, a trace of reluctance flashed in Jiang Huang's eyes, and he smiled forcefully: "My son can't help my mother, Yi'er is an official in Huazhou, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, you don't have to worry about me, there is still Yan'er at home, I miss you, I will go to Huazhou to see you." By the way, Yi'er said that the Huazhou honey fruit sent should be eaten as soon as possible, for fear that it will not be preserved, you can ask people to give some to the three uncles' families, as well as Guo Mansion and Yu Mansion also send a little, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou should not forget it, by the way, there are also two old men invited by Xinfei, and also send a few cans. ”

After Jiang Anyi and Xinfei left, Dong'er's housekeeper was at home, and with the help of Yan'er, the Jiang family was well organized, and Jiang Huang's family took his grandson to play with peace of mind, and rarely asked about housework. Dong'er called Steward Wang, Uncle Wang was already seventy, and the old man was still in good spirits, showing signs of getting younger and younger.

However, Uncle Wang's age is finally old, after Dong'er took over the housekeeper, he was assigned a few young stewards, and after Uncle Wang's eldest son Wang Niu returned from Fuluo County, Dong'er intended to let him succeed Uncle Wang as the new housekeeper of Jiangfu. Uncle Wang refused to accept the old man, but he was busy inside and out, Dong'er had to let him, and told Wang Niu to follow his father at any time and study.

Uncle Wang asked people to bring two jars of honey fruits, opened them and overflowed with fragrance, poured them into a bowl and tasted them, sweet and delicious, very delicious. Jiang Huang asked people to bring their grandson and feed it carefully, Jiang Chenzhi ate it with relish, and said in a milky voice: "It's so stupid (eat)." ”

Dong'er thought of Yan'er and asked Uncle Wang, who was eating on the side, "Uncle Wang, where has Yan'er gone, call her to try it too, Jiang Lang said that this thing is not easy to last for a long time, and it will break down after a while." ”

Wang Boying said: "Miss went to the back village with Miss Hong after lunch, saying that she was taking some flower dregs to make rouge, and it was almost time to come back, I will let people go and see." ”

Yeona found that the flowers after making the perfume were colorful, and the rouge used to make it was not only bright in color, but also fragrant, so she tried to make a few boxes of rouge, which turned out to be very popular among the cousins. After Jiang Anyi returned home a year ago and learned about it, he asked Zhang Keji to help improve it, and sure enough, he developed a good rouge, which has been sent to the perfume shop for sale, which is very popular with the rich lady, and the price is not cheap. Although it is not as good as perfume, it is estimated that there are 10,000 taels of silver a year. Jiang Anyi smiled and said that Yan'er had purchased a dowry by herself, and whoever wanted to marry her in the future would get a mountain of gold.

"This girl, she is not at home all day long, and she is not a small child, and she should find her mother-in-law's house after a while, and she doesn't know how to do embroidery at home." Jiang Huang sandwiched the pulp into small pieces and carefully fed it to his grandson's mouth, while complaining.

Dong'er smiled: "Yan'er is still worried about not being able to get married? It's just that Jiang Lang said that Yan'er's husband wanted him to see it in person, and he didn't know how he could take care of this side when he was in Huazhou. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed and focused their attention on Jiang Chenzhi, they didn't know that a conspiracy was coming towards Yan'er. ()
