Chapter Seventy-Nine: Shangguan Returns
Chu Wen has no interest in gaining fame, he has been a tao boy since he was a child, but he learned the skills of hunting after Bai Sanshu.
However, Chu Wen didn't have time to practice bows and arrows, so he didn't use heavy bows, and he usually hunted on the periphery, mostly with the following traps and traps, but he never hit a big guy.
But according to the rules of the Chu family, a male baby who does not study will not be valued by the family, so Chu Wen stays in the mountains almost all year round, which is also a special case in the Chu family.
"This is the wild fruit in my cellar, take it to quench your thirst." Bai Ling pretended to rummage in the basket for a while, took out a pear and handed it to Chu Wen, and said with a smile: "If Brother Chu Wen has set up a suit, it is better to dig herbs with me, and the money from selling them is no less than what you hunt." I think your bow is a little small, and it's time to change your hand. ”
The risks in the mountains are unpredictable, and with good weapons there is more security.
Although Bai Ling had space, he still bought a dagger to defend himself, so he was prepared.
Chu Wen wiped the bow he was carrying, nodded and followed Bai Ling's side, "I went to the blacksmith shop and asked, a good bow costs twenty taels of silver, and it also needs to be equipped with good feather arrows, and ten of them cost five taels of silver." ”
"I still have some here, if Brother Chu Wen wants to buy it, you can borrow it from me first, and then return it to me when you have saved enough." As far as he could, Bai Ling was willing to help Chu Wen.
"Don't worry, aren't you going to teach me how to pick herbs? When I sell herbs and save money, I can buy it again. Chu Wen shook his head and rejected Bai Ling's kindness, but his brows were furrowed.
Knowing Chu Wen's temperament, Bai Ling didn't persuade much, so he taught Chu Wen what the herbs taught around here looked like and how to dig them.
Thinking that the Chu family is so big, and there are many scholars, Chu Wending also has his own difficulties.
Bai Ling said half-jokingly: "If Brother Chu Wen doesn't want the family to know, you can put the herbs in my house, and I will help you concoct them, but you have to collect one percent of the salary." When Brother Chu Wen sells the silver, he can also put it here and save it, and when he marries a daughter-in-law in the future, it is convenient to have a little private money, so as not to be like when our family was not divided, there is no eldest son, and it will be miserable when it is urgently needed! ”
Chu Wen didn't speak, but secretly wrote down Bai Ling's words, so that no matter how much money he made in the future, he would keep some of it as a private house.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of the winter month, the heroine went to help Bai Sanshu sell chestnuts after selling vegetables, but she didn't know that her figure had fallen into Shangguan Yu's eyes.
Hongming Restaurant.
Shangguan Yu returned to Wufu Town, met his friend Duan Yulang, and met at the restaurant for a hundred years.
Hongming Restaurant is the property of the Duan family, and the third floor is only open to the owner, so he is not afraid of being disturbed when he eats here, but he is in line with Guan Yu's mind.
"Brother Shangguan, what are you looking at?"
Duan Yulang found that his friend didn't listen to him at all, so he got up and looked out the window, saw the Bai family's sugar-fried chestnut stall, and said with a smile:
"Brother Shangguan hasn't eaten fried chestnuts with sugar, right? It tastes good, and our candy shop also wants to get this business into their hands, but unfortunately they haven't negotiated with the stall owner yet. However, the second girl of that family is capable, and it is indispensable to cooperate in the future, is Brother Shangguan interested in getting to know him? ”
Shangguan Yu didn't say anything, but withdrew his gaze.
It was rare to see Shangguan Yu have something he was interested in, Duan Yulang called his little servant to buy sugar and fried chestnuts, and Baba talked to Shangguan Yu about going to Bai's house that day to talk about cooperation, but he was depressed and had a little resentment towards Bai Ling.
Soon the guy bought fried chestnuts with sugar, and Duan Yulang just wanted to demonstrate how to eat them, but he saw Shangguan Yu peeling off the shell very familiarly and tasting it elegantly.
"Have you eaten?" Duan Yulang asked in surprise, "Didn't you just come back today?" ”
Glancing at Duan Yulang, Shangguan Yu just said directly: Are you an idiot?
"I forgot, you are the little prince, and this Wufu Town is also the fief of your Han Palace." Duan Yulang laughed awkwardly.
"Haven't you always wanted to expand the Duan family's industry? That girl may be your turning point. After Shangguan Yu ate a few chestnuts in a row, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying something that surprised Duan Yulang.
"Shangguan, haven't you always cared about business? Could it be ......" Duan Yulang stood up abruptly and glanced out the window with a 'hell' expression, "You can't be the one who has a crush on that peasant girl, right?" Although she is passable, her identity is not worthy of you, and the rules of your family do not allow concubines. ”
Shangguan Yu's face sank, and he glared at Duan Yulang, who was talking to himself, and he didn't bother to take care of his nerves.
"But even if you Han Wangfu doesn't have this family rule, the two of you can't make it, I have dealt with Bai Ling once, don't look at her as just a peasant girl, she is high-spirited, and she will not want to be a concubine." Duan Yulang added another sentence, and when he turned around, he saw Shangguan Yu looking at him with a gloomy face, and subconsciously hid towards the window, "Hey, I'll tell you the truth, you won't be trying to kill me, right?" ”
Duan Yulang patted his chest, and his exaggerated expression made Shangguan Yu can't help but teach a lesson.
The teacup in his hand turned into a weapon and went straight to Duan Yulang's flat face, Shangguan Yu got up and left, but said in his mouth: "If you don't want to follow this God of Wealth, my mother will definitely like it." ”
"Don't." Duan Yulang hurriedly chased after him, blocked the door to prevent Shangguan Yu from leaving, and said flatteringly: "You know that I don't know anything but business, this God of Wealth has met, where is the reason to give it away." Princess Han's talent in business is not comparable to a small person like me, and there is nothing to lose if she has a little God of Wealth, so she just has time to accompany King Han more, right? ”
"Hmph." Shangguan Yu was too lazy to take care of Duan Yulang, turned around and sat down, and changed the topic: "Although there is a bumper harvest this year, there are frequent wars at the border gates, and the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court are not enough, you have to think of a way." ”
"I'm a little prince, you're going to cut off my wealth, what's the difference between wanting my life and asking for my life!" Duan Yulang covered his face and wailed: "Just because I haven't seen you, go out and turn right and go downstairs directly, and walk slowly without sending you off." ”
"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, hasn't Ziqian heard of it?" Shangguan Yu looked at Duan Yulang's pained expression appreciatively.
"Please don't call my word, it's probably not good." Duan Yulang lay on the table without any image, beating his chest and shouting: "Why is my life so bitter!" I finally found a way to survive, and I can stabilize my position as a young master, and you will come to exploit me. Princess Han is so able to make money, and the fief of the Han Mansion is also big enough, why should the matter of raising grain and grass be handed over to me by a small person in the market, isn't it embarrassing. ”
"This is my private request, Ziqian can refuse." Shangguan Yu spoke.
"Don't!" Duan Yulang sat up, his long hair was thrown behind his head, and he said with great grievance: "On the public, I can still find my old man, and I won't be guilty of perfunctory." But when it comes to personal relationships, it is to force me to stick a knife in my ribs and drain all my pockets, do you want to be so ruthless! ”
Shangguan Yu didn't speak, untied the money bag around his waist, threw it in front of Duan Yulang, and said in a low voice: "This is 50,000 taels of silver tickets, you look at the arrangement, it is inconvenient for the Han Wangfu to come forward." ”
"But that ......" Duan Yulang pointed to the top of his head, and without waiting for Shangguan Yu to reply, he hurriedly said: "Don't say it, I don't want to know." For my brother's sake, I'll do my best, and you can wait for my good news. ”
