Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind.

The winter night of Kaifeng Mansion is particularly lively.

There is no cold winter, walking on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion, there are lively crowds everywhere, especially on the river, painting boats are lined up, and there is a sound of drunkenness.

Silk and bamboo wind music, shallow singing in a low voice, such a style of life, can only be experienced in Kaifeng and the Qinhuai River in Jiangning, and before the cold winter, there are often countless talented scholars of the An Dynasty who come to Kaifeng to look for their opportunities.

Xiao Mo naturally doesn't need to be mixed in the Qinglou painting boat, and go to show off coquettishly with those literati, now Xiao Mo, even Emperor Zhao Quan said that he is a very good minister, what else does he have to pursue for fame?

Therefore, Xiao Mo has been in his own mansion during this time, and occasionally enters the palace to accompany Zhao Ziji Yunxue and them to participate in some princes and nobles' gatherings, which is not what Xiao Mo insists on, it is those princes and nobles who want to invite Xiao Mo to their own parties, so they let Yunxue and Zhao Yao invite.

Yun Xue and Zhao Yao spoke, Xiao Mo naturally couldn't help but go, so Xiao Mo often went in and out of the mansions of princes and nobles, and Liang Zheng and Xiu Zhiming would also go to such a party with Xiao Mo in the capital.

For Xiao Mo, such a party was somewhat boring. In Xiao Mo's opinion, participating in such a party is not as interesting as having a barbecue with Yu Nuer and them at home, and the taste of barbecue is indeed very nostalgic, but Xiao Yi said that the cumin needed for barbecue cannot be bought in the capital, so there is less taste, which makes Xiao Mo sigh.

Later, Yu Nuer simply said, let people go to their own tribe to get it, what cumin, fennel, how much or how much, Xiao Mo listened, and inexplicably thought of the previous time when he was in Dolan, he promised to trade with Tubo, so he came to Cao Xiang's house.

Xiao Mo has not paid much attention to the war in Tibet, and he doesn't know how it is going, and now all the officials of the three provinces and six ministries are resting at home, because the New Year is over...... So Xiao Mo could only come to Cao Xiang.

Hearing that Xiao Mo came to ask about the war in Tibet, Cao Xiang said to Xiao Mo: "Half a month ago, there was good news in Tibet, the brothers of the seed and the doctor of the seeds, together with the king of Lhasa, defeated the army of King Hudder in Wuchuan, and Hudder's vitality was greatly damaged, but because of the cold winter, the army could not take advantage of the victory to pursue, so they could only wait for the spring of the next year, and then annihilate Hudson in one fell swoop!" ”

Xiao Mo listened and said to Cao Xiang: "My lord, you can let Chong Shiheng and Yeli Yu beg send troops, converge with Glolu's men and horses, and attack Hudder back and forth, so that he has nothing to hide!" ”

Cao Xiang heard it and felt reasonable, so he said: "It's the Shangyuan Festival, don't talk about all military affairs, after the spring of the next year, the old man will do it according to the general's will!" Come on, come on...... Ziheng rarely comes to the house, so I have to drink a few more drinks today! ”

After being poured half a pot of old wine by Lao Cao, Xiao Mo hurriedly found an excuse to escape, and after returning home, Xiao Mo thought about it for a while, and still asked Xiao Yi to find the name of Xiu.

When he found Xiu's name, this guy was drunk in the Weixiang Building in the capital, Xiao Yi had no choice but to ask the Xiu's guards to send him to Xiao's mansion, Xiao Mo frowned, and asked him to clean up a guest room for Xiu's name to sleep.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Xiu Zhiming woke up, and then he only felt a headache, Xiao Mo smiled slightly, asked people to prepare tea for Xiu Zhiming, and then asked: "Our Xiu official, why did you go to the restaurant to borrow wine to drown your sorrows?" ”

When Xiu Zhiming saw Xiao Mo, he said with a sad face: "Ziheng, the conscience of heaven and earth...... That day was just a joke with you, Bijun decided that I had the heart of a concubine, and said that I had the heart of a concubine before she passed the door, if this is the future? A sharp mouth didn't give me a chance to explain at all, and she went home, and I ......"

"Oh?" Xiao Mo listened, and said with a smile: "Our poor cultivators, but don't worry, everything is with me, and I will go to meet Old Man Liu with the cultivators later, and by the way, I will help you say a few kind words in front of Bijun, and the two of you will be reconciled as before!" ”

When Xiu Zhiming heard this, he said gratefully: "Ziheng, don't say anything, it's really a blessing to have you as a confidant!" ”

Xiao Mo listened, smiled, but couldn't help but remember the scene of watching the Spring Festival Gala before he crossed over, Zhao Benshan fooled Fan Wei into a cripple, and cheated Fan Wei for a few hundred yuan, Fan Wei turned around...... Thank you!

And the name of Xiu is the same, Xiao Mo often asks for silver in the name of Xiu, but the name of Xiu has nothing, and after giving the money, he also said: Three lives are lucky!

This kind of similar situation made Xiao Mo couldn't help laughing, but Xiao Mo also knew that although he had spent a lot of money on the cultivators, the value of the cultivators on himself was also a lot, but I was afraid that it was far more than the return of these silvers!

Therefore, Xiao Mo is not like Zhao Benshan who cheated people and cheated money, Xiao Mo at least helped the Xiu family a lot, for example, now, Xiao Mo has another business to discuss with Xiu.

After Xiao Mo smiled, he calmed down his emotions before saying to Xiu Zhiming: "Cultivator official, here is an idea, I wonder if the cultivator is interested?" ”

"Oh?" As soon as Xiu Zhiming heard it, he knew that Xiao Mo had any novel ideas, so he asked with great interest: "Ziheng has thought of any novel things?" ”

"Wrong!" Xiao Mo shook his head, and then took out a map to show Xiu Zhiming.

Xiu Zhiming glanced at the map, then frowned, and asked Xiao Mo, "Ziheng, do you want to open a trade route with this Tubo and Uighur?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Not bad! That's it, the great officials, the Tibetans and the Uighurs, they are interested in our porcelain, silk, tea, even rice, oil, salt, and so on, which are not very valuable! But whether it is the Uighurs or the Tibetans, the mountains there produce mink skins, curiosities, and many rare things on wild beasts, such as deer antler velvet...... Other than that...... Fennel and cumin are also essential accessories when grilling! ”

Thinking of the barbecue he ate in Xiao Mansion on the first night, Xiu Zhiming couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then his stomach actually growled.

Xiao Mo saw it and said, "Hehe...... The Xiu Daguan must have not eaten for a long time, his stomach is empty, he is hungry, why don't I let Lin Jie cook a few dishes, and then we talk slowly? ”

Hearing this, Xiu Zhi quickly nodded to Xiao Mo, now he is indeed dizzy and hungry! It is a bit ridiculous to say that the richest man in the world would fall to such a point......
