Chapter 5: Taking Appointment (Part I)
"We play around. Hou Xiaobai seemed to refuse, Song Zheng looked at it with a dark smile, Xiuzhijie looked ordinary, no wonder Hou Xiaobai was lukewarm to him.
Hou Xiaonian was afraid that he would not be able to save face on the Xiuzhi Festival, so he hurriedly said: "Let's go to Taiji Lake to play together......"
Xiuzhijie's fan slapped his palm: "I haven't been to Taiji Lake yet, I just want to play, why don't we go together?" He looked at Hou Xiaobai expectantly, but the girl turned her face to the side and kicked her boots gently.
The middle-aged monk reminded him in the back: "Young Master, today we have to wait for Chen Baihu to receive us, this is very important to the task of our trip. β
The cultivation festival is also entangled, things are messed up, and my father will definitely break his leg when he goes back. But the person he admired in his heart was right in front of him, as if there was a little white cat scratching in his heart, and finally he gritted his teeth: "Uncle Fang, Chen Baihu has every opportunity, and he may not have time to see us today." I'll go out with the little white girl first, you wait in the city, if Chen Baihu summons me, contact me immediately with the homophone bone note, and I will fly back immediately. β
"This ......" Uncle Fang, the middle-aged monk, hesitated for a while. Xiuzhijie said eagerly to Hou Xiaonian: "Xiaonian, let's go." Little white girl, what do you like to eat? Sugar gourd? Nian'er Ba, honey candy seeds, I'll buy it for you......"
"If you don't eat, you will gain weight. Hou Xiaobai lightly refused, and the cultivation festival was boring, and touched his nose pitifully.
Song Zheng followed, he didn't care about joining someone, he just needed a cover anyway. Hou Xiaonian smiled apologetically at him, and Song Zheng smiled and said it was okay.
Coming out of Huzhou City, walking more than ten miles to the southwest, there was a vast water surface in front of the smoke waves, the fog was steaming in mid-air from a distance, the spiritual energy was transformed, and sometimes there was a divine beast form, and from time to time there would be a dragon-shaped spiritual mist condensed out of the sky above the center of the lake, and it rushed into the sky, and then in a burst of thunderbolts, it was scattered into a heavenly spiritual rain, and it fell back into the lake with a bang.
Being able to come out with Hou Xiaobai, Xiuzhijie was very happy, and he was trying to tease the girl along the way, but unfortunately Hou Xiaobai was always salty and indifferent to him, which made the fiery Xiuzhijie very depressed.
When he arrived near Taiji Lake, he also saw that the little white girl seemed to have a good impression of the guy who was traveling with him. Only then did Xiuzhijie realize that he only had Hou Xiaobai in his eyes, and he didn't even say hello to others.
He quietly approached Hou Xiaonian and asked, "Who is that guy?"
"Song Zheng, we met on the road, and my little sister ...... with him It's quite talkative. Hou Xiaonian carefully considered the words and tried his best to make Xiuzhijie understand, but not to hit him too much.
Xiuzhijie was sullen, his own appearance was mediocre, and when he looked at Song Zheng, he understood why the little white girl couldn't look down on him. Song Zheng's appearance is already good, his skin is healthy and smooth after rebirth, and because of the experience of many hardships, his temperament seems to be like a mountain, and he has a calm and calm, which will attract the attention of the opposite sex unconsciously.
Xiuzhijie scratched his head, not knowing what to do. He knew that he couldn't blame Song Zheng - Song Zheng was lukewarm to Hou Xiaobai, even if Song Zheng was really with Hou Xiaobai, it was Hou Xiaobai's choice, and she had this power.
"Alasβ" Xiuzhijie sighed faintly, and took a few steps behind to feel sorry for himself.
Song Zheng arrived at the Taiji Lake, took a deep breath, and a spiritual energy swirled into his abdomen, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Good place, the heaven and earth yuan energy is rich." β
Hou Xiaonian was still worried about his luck, and when he saw the tourists around, I am afraid that a stone in this kind of place has been turned over seventy or eighty times, where can it be their turn? He repeatedly urged: "There is nothing to see in this kind of place, let's choose some secluded places and take a look at the unique scenery." β
Xiuzhijie wanted to chase Hou Xiaobai, of course, he tried to please his brother-in-law, and even echoed it, but Song Zheng had his own plans in his heart, so he agreed. The four of them avoided the flow of people and walked to a secluded place by the lake, and on the way Song Zheng asked: "Brother Zhijie, I heard that the lake rice will be distributed regularly every year, and there is still a surplus share for you?"
Xiuzhijie was not very wary, and replied casually: "Of course not, we are here to find a way, that Chen Baihu is said to be a powerful figure of the dragon Yiwei in the city, and he is qualified to speak in the distribution of the lake rice share, so I will go to meet him." β
Song Zheng asked again: "How is this lake rice, as well as jade mud and Taiji stone, distributed?"
Xiuzhijie looked at him, and Song Zheng smiled: "I'm just curious, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it." β
"There's nothing inconvenient to say, you can ask elsewhere. Xiuzhi said: "Taiji stone is too precious, it is said that as long as it appears, it will be taken away directly."
Those really big people, such as the powerhouses of the Zhenguo and the Taigu family, will inform Huzhou in advance, and they will line up in order of priority, and whoever has their turn will belong to whomever it is. It is said that it will be purchased at the market price, but it is not known how much it will cost.
As for Humi and Yuni, led by Long Yiwei, together with the top forces such as Yihu, Shuangzong, and Sanshi in the city, as well as the Bai family and the Hong family, the share of the next year is agreed in advance every year, and it will not be changed once it is decided.
It's almost time to negotiate next year's share, so I'm here. β
He said one more thing: "If you also want to do these businesses, I advise you to forget it." Our family still has some ways, and we invited several powerful people to intercede, and Chen Baihu agreed to meet us.
And although he agreed, I don't know when I will see him. Even if you see it, whether you can do it or not is another matter.
Alas, I don't know if it will work out, this Yuanyu has been spent like water, and I don't know what my father thinks. β
He couldn't help but shake his head, but the last sentence was muttered to himself.
Song Zheng smiled: "I don't do this business. β
From the mouth of the Xiuzhi Festival, he roughly understood how the greatest benefits of Huzhou City were distributed every year. At the same time, I also understood that Long Yiwei was really in the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, and they could also be in charge of this kind of thing.
He subconsciously frowned: Long Yiwei is so extravagant, but Bai Laoqi is dead...... He felt more and more that this trip was dangerous and he could not be careless.
Hou Xiaonian comforted the Xiuzhi Festival: "Although there are many Yuan Yuhua, once the matter is done, it will be a million profits." His eyes were firmly fixed on the ground, and he saw that the stones on the side of the road had to be turned over to take a look, which made Song Zheng a little unbearable.
As he was walking, someone in front of him suddenly shouted: "Where did you come from? Don't you know the rules of quarrying in Taiji Lake? Do you have a brand?"
Hou Xiaonian and several people tensed, and five monks dressed in dragon guard uniforms came violently.
They may have a small family asset, but against Shanglong Yiwei, only one end is the destruction of the family. Hou Xiaobai was a little unconvinced: "We were just curious, and we didn't go into the water to look for Taiji Stone." β
The leader Long Yiwei sneered: "You are monks, you can go deep underwater. According to the laws of Huzhou, it is a felony to search for Taiji stones without permission without a quarryman's brand!"
Hou Xiaonian hurriedly grabbed his sister and said with a smile: "Poor master, we are outsiders, we really don't know the rules, and I ask you to raise your noble hands, a little meaning, brothers drink tea......"
He pinched a few yuan jade stuffs and gave them to the dragon guard, but unexpectedly, the other party took it in his hand and turned it upside down, and said with a cruel smile: "This money, when our brother is called Huazi?"
Song Zheng frowned, the reason why Long Yiwei was notorious was that the "credit" of these ordinary errand servants was the greatest.
Hou Xiaonian said helplessly: "The poor master said a number." β
"The four of you, each with a thousand yuan of jade. β
Hou Xiaonian defended: "It has nothing to do with the three of them......
"Hey, what Lao Tzu said is related. He squinted at the four of them and sneered: "What, you're not convinced? Two thousand yuan jade per person! How about trying our Long Yiwei's hell?"
Hou Xiaonian swallowed his anger, eight thousand yuan jade is not a small amount, it is also a huge amount of money for their Hou family, he only brought one thousand yuan jade when he went out, or the father gave so much for the sake of his baby daughter's face, if he was alone, at most three hundred.
Xiuzhijie gritted his teeth and stepped forward, he had money on him, but it was a bribe for Chen Baihu, and now he had to take it out first. Don't talk about reporting the name of Chen Baihu or something, he is not so stupid.
"Xiao Nian, I'll come......"
Song Zheng stretched out his hand, stopped the two of them, and asked the five people, "Do you want a brand?"
The five dragon guards thought they had seen something wrong, and were about to scold, when they suddenly remembered what they had ordered from above, they almost knelt down with a soft body, and Song Zheng scolded: "Get out!"
"Yes, the little ones will get out. β
Hou Xiaonian and Xiu Zhijie looked stunned, and the five dragon guards quickly ran away with their tails between their legs. The brand in Song Zheng's hand disappeared in a flash, and the three of them didn't see what the brand was.
"Song ...... Brother," Hou Xiaonian subconsciously shouted and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Song Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Leave them alone, let's play ours." β
But apparently it can't be played.
......
The five dragon guards fled far away, each wiped a cold sweat, and said in shock: "What do you mean by Lord Qianhu? Why don't you take office when you come to Huzhou City?"
"Hey, you idiots, haven't you seen it yet? Lord Qianhu is playing the game of microserver private interview, target, have you noticed the girl next to him?"
The other four suddenly realized. At their level, they only want to conceive such a conclusion.
It's like the old peasant guessing what the emperor of the Forbidden City ate.
"Don't worry about these for now, the day before yesterday sent an order down, so that everyone was staring at the point, and now that I have found an adult, it is also a credit to report it quickly. β
......
The four of them went back absentmindedly, Song Zheng glanced at the Yin Yang Water Eye from a distance, and felt that these two strange places involved some heavenly rules, and they really contained big secrets.
When entering the city, a carriage passed by, stopped a zhang away, and as soon as the window opened, someone said: "Xiuzhijie, it's really you." β
Xiuzhijie saw the other party but didn't have a good face: "Su Hong, your Su family is really ghostly." β
