Chapter 245: It's New Year's Eve

"How much does this cost?" came an exclamation from the drug store, causing passers-by to look sideways. However, when they saw the big and round guards inside, they quickly lowered their heads and left quickly.

A thin streak of white sweat broke out on the forehead of the drugstore shopkeeper. He held the bill over with trembling hands and spoke with a cry in his tone: "A total of 150 bills and 45 coins... Sir, please don't glare at me."

, Old man is timid! This is really the lowest price for you! This is the price the villain bought from Hu Shang. If nothing else, you can’t find anything cheaper than this even if you travel all over Chang’an.

!How about, you see, I wipe out the change for you?"

Xiao Han frowned and looked at the shopkeeper who was trying to please the appearance: "Wiping out a small change? That's okay! Xiaodong, give me the money, 15 strings and 45 coins!"

"ah?"

At this time, not only the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, but Li Shentong and Xue Pan both hid their faces and couldn't bear to look at it anymore! They said it was a zero, but you just gave them a zero. Even the robbers would do this! How cruel!

Li Shentong covered his face and poked Xiao Han's waist from behind: "Brother Xiao, this thing is so expensive! He is not a lion, so stop teasing him!"

The Li family is also a large family that has been engaged in food for several generations. The family used to support caravans traveling to the Western Regions. They are quite knowledgeable about spices, gems and the like. To be fair, the shopkeeper's price is really not high. If

According to Xiao Han's price, the shopkeeper will have to hang himself today!

"Ahem..." Xiao Han coughed and looked at the cloth bag that he picked up with just one finger on his hand. He didn't associate this thing with the ten cows!

Just this money, converted into the currency of future generations, is enough to buy an entire spice shop! Just buy this few things here?

Xiao Han didn't react to the huge price difference for a while, but he also knew that Li Shentong would not lie to him about this. If this guy said it was worth it, then it was really worth so much money! It seems that his values ​​​​are really worth it.

Need to re-evaluate!

"I know, how could I not know? Isn't this just a joke on the shopkeeper!" Xiao Han said pretending to be generous!

Tears almost fell from the shopkeeper's face, and he raised his hands to Xiao Han repeatedly: "Dear guest, please don't joke, the old man is old and cannot stand being scared..."

"Okay, Xiaodong, pay the money! Shopkeeper, you can collect the gold and silver here!"

"Collect it, collect this!" As soon as he heard the payment, the shopkeeper, who looked like he was about to die here, immediately became energetic again, as if he had taken the nine-turn soul-reviving pill, he nodded and pointed at the counter, "We have Tonghui here.

,Dear guest, you can use it as payment against your account with gold or silver!"

Xiao Han nodded and took out the gold leaves from his arms with some distress. He brought them with him before leaving. He didn't expect to use them, but he almost spent all the money on buying some peppercorns and aniseed! Damn the beard, how dare you do this.

When doing business, I won’t use glass to deceive you to death next year, and my surname will not be Xiao!

After carrying a cloth bag out of the door, Xiao Han touched a large piece of his wallet again, and most of his good mood was gone. However, seeing that Xue Pan still seemed to be unsatisfied, he could only cheer up and continue shopping.

.

"Money is like a bastard. We can make more after spending it! But...this money is so worthless. I have been cheated..." Xiao Han sighed looking up to the sky, and Xiao Han looked at the sympathetic eyes of Xiaodong.

, quickly caught up with Li Shentong and Xue Pan who were watching the noodle maker in front.

The sunset on the horizon was dyed red by the setting sun, and the drumming of Jingjie echoed over Chang'an. Xiao Han, who had been shopping all afternoon, hurried out of Chang'an City before the gate was closed.

In front of you is the way home under the setting sun. Behind you is the afternoon's spoils.

The several carts brought this time were all filled with goods, and they were piled high, just like grain hoards.

The accompanying guards each held a long sugar cane and were munching on it as they walked! The winding road was filled with laughter and laughter.

Xue Pan and Xiao Ai have already gone home, and they don't know when they will meet again. Lovers always think about being together all day long, and a short separation will make people infinitely sad.

The convoy passed by Xiao Lizi's military camp. Xiao Han deliberately raised his head and took a closer look. He did not see Liu Hongji. Only a few scouts came over to check their waistbands before letting them pass. At this time, if he did not have a waistband,

He will be arrested as a spy.

The hundred-mile journey originally only took more than half an hour, but because it was loaded with trophies, it took a full two hours to see the memorial archway of Xiaojiazhuangzi.

Steward Lu was dozing with his hands on his hands and leaning against the archway. He heard the sound of scattered horse hooves and suddenly woke up. When he saw the Marquis's carriage with a torch, he finally felt relieved, stood up and stretched, and stopped by.

Jian Pu, who was so sleepy that he was sweating, was kicked.

"Lazy people! Get out of here, Lord Marquis is back! Go and unload the truck! Let me tell you, whoever wants to be lazy will get...the year-end bonus this year? No one will get it!"

"Hehe, okay!" The kicked servant grinned, moved his body, and hurried forward to meet him.

They all know that Mr. Hou went out this time to buy them New Year's goods! Although he came back later, we can't go to bed without conscience!

When the cart stopped at the entrance of Zhuangzi, there was no need to go forward. People who had been waiting for a long time in Zhuangzi rushed forward and quickly moved the things on the cart into an empty room. If they were left outside, frost would be bad.

.

A large group of people were lighting torches and moving things. From time to time, someone shouted something like "be careful", which made Butler Lu laugh and curse a few more times. Then he squinted his eyes and walked to Xiao Han's carriage in front.

beside.

Just as he was about to open the curtain and say hello to Mr. Hou, Xiao Han jumped out of the car first and made a shushing gesture towards him.

"Don't be loud, the kid inside is asleep!"

"That kid inside?" Butler Lu was surprised. He quickly looked inside and saw that Li Shentong, who had been talking all day long, was fast asleep in the warm carriage!

"Eh? Li Shentong? Why did he fall asleep in your car, Lord Marquis?" Butler Lu asked in surprise. He remembered that sometimes he didn't take this kid with him!

Xiao Han was tired from the car ride all the way, and this kid was too dishonest when sleeping. It was just like drunken boxing. He would have kicked him up as soon as he closed his eyes! If he wasn't absolutely sure that this kid was sleeping like this

, Xiao Han had to kick him out of the car!

"Hey, don't mention it. I picked up such a burden along the way. Butler, let's see if we send him back or let him sleep for one night!"

"Haha, Lord Marquis, according to my servant, it's not safe to send him back this late at night. Why don't you let him sleep for one night and send him back tomorrow?" Steward Lu stroked his beard and replied with a smile, talking to Li

He was happy to hear that his family had a good relationship. After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! And this neighbor is also quite powerful!

"Okay!" Xiao Han waved his hand casually. He just wanted to go back to the warm bed quickly and fall asleep under the quilt. He might as well wait until tomorrow to talk about anything else!

Just as he was about to lift his leg to leave, Xiao Han thought of something and pulled his leg back: "By the way, I wonder if his family will be anxious if this kid doesn't go home at night! If he causes people to look for him everywhere, this

But it’s not good!”

Butler Lu smiled and shook his head: "Master Hou, you are worrying too much. I will find a young man with good riding skills later and ask him to report to the Li family. It has been a busy day today. Master Hou, please take a rest as soon as possible. Here

Just leave it to the old slave!"

"Haha, I was overthinking it!" When Xiao Han heard this, he suddenly realized that having such a competent butler here really saved him a lot of trouble!

Bowing to ask Xiao Han to go back to sleep, Butler Lu was busy asking people to carry Li Shentong to the guest room.

After settling in, he grabbed a skinny young man and asked him to deliver a message to the Li family. The Li family's village and the Xiao family's village were originally close to each other, and everyone in the village knew their location.
