***It’s the 28th, and this month is coming to an end. Dear book friends, I’m in the final sprint. Please vote for your strong support!***
Ximen Qing and Xia Xun, dressed in Confucian shirts, came down from the Lion Tower with one step and three steps, and walked slowly on the street.
Ximen Qing covered his mouth with a fan, picked his teeth and said: "Brother Yang is really lucky. It's rare that they have ready-made iron materials in their hands. We paid the deposit and can start shipping soon. You want to do long-term business, so I
The price given is still very reasonable. I know the market and I’m not deceiving you with this price. However, the raw and wrought iron items are available, but things like furs and animal sinews are more troublesome..."
Ximen Qing flicked the toothpick on the ground, closed the fan and said: "If you want to buy this thing in large quantities, you can only start from outside the Great Wall. If you want the best quality goods, you have to find a way from outside the Great Wall. It is not easy to contact them originally, but
This year the Mongols suffered a big loss at the hands of King Yan. They fled hundreds of miles away, leaving behind many old, weak and poor people who lacked food and clothing. Their food and strong labor were taken away. They were worried that they would not be able to survive this winter, so they took the initiative to send
People come here to look for buyers, and this will help you. Not only do we save time, but we can also save a lot of money."
Xia Xun said with a smile: "This is all thanks to Brother Ximen's wide range of skills and connections. Otherwise, brother Ximen would have no idea how to start with his eyes wide open. Brother Ximen would have to worry so much."
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you bother. Anyway, my efforts are not in vain. I go in with my left hand and out with my right hand. I can still make a fortune from it. My wife is a housekeeper and raises her children. She is dignified and virtuous. In fact, she is an excellent woman. It's just that
She likes to be jealous, especially when it comes to money. I took this money back and slapped it on the kang, and she still didn’t serve me properly?"
Ximen Qing didn't know what he thought of, and he laughed a few times.
Xia Xun reminded: "I wonder when I can contact the source of the goods? If I don't know for sure, it will be difficult for me to explain. Besides, I am really in a hurry to go back, so it would be better to do this as soon as possible."
Ximen Qing said: "You can't rush this. The person has been found, but the fastest delivery will be between October and November. I'll wait for the news. As soon as there is news here, I will send it immediately."
I will send you a message, and then we will go to Peking together. I will find a way to transport the vehicles, mules, and horses. I can also help you clear the joints of the Yamen through the water and land checkpoints, but the cost of opening the joints...
"
Xia Xun smiled knowingly: "Of course it was me who made the mistake."
Ximen Qingqing smiled and said: "Hey, it's the King of Qi's money anyway. I don't have to feel sad if I'm generous to others. By the way, this time it's no different than usual. The goods are more than ten times more than what I smuggled before. So,
It is difficult to cover up a huge amount of goods when transporting it. Maybe something will go wrong, and then you will have to use your connections with Prince Qi."
Xia Xun nodded and said: "This is no problem. If I go to Peking, what should I bring to trade? Gold, silver or something?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "Actually, they are more interested in food, tea, cloth and other things, and like to barter. However, our big fanfare of transporting things to Peiping is a bit too superficial. We can still use money, gold is also acceptable.
Silver is also acceptable, as is my Da Ming Tong Bao Banknote, and they all accept it."
Xia Xun said happily: "That's good."
Ximen Qing glanced at him and said with emotion: "When I first met you, I thought you were from Yingtian Mansion, but I didn't expect that you are from Qingzhou. You are several years younger than me. Are you the same as me?"
, is the son inheriting his father’s business and inheriting the royal robe?”
Xia Xun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My little brother's situation is much more complicated than yours. It's hard to explain in one word. Where is the Jin in the Jin Yiwei? If only a few years earlier, everyone who had broken his head might not have been able to join the Jin Yiwei? But?
Now..., Jinyiwei is no longer as majestic as before. Since joining Jinyi, I have been walking on thin ice and facing an abyss."
Ximen Qing felt the same and said: "Yes. Who would have thought that with just one order from the emperor, the arrogant and arrogant Jin Yiwei would suddenly cease to exist and become a toothless tiger. The power of God is unpredictable. But..."
He said solemnly: "I always feel that Jin Yiwei will not end like this. Life has ups and downs, and fate is unpredictable. Once the situation changes, who can guarantee that Jin Yiwei will not be able to rise again..."
As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the sky. He couldn't help but be startled and said in a voiceless voice: "Hey! Sure enough, the situation will meet!"
"What?"
Xia Xun also raised his head to look up at the sky, and saw a thick black cloud above his head, covering half of the sky, but there was no cloud in the other half of the sky. The dark blue sky was clear and far-reaching, and there was no cloud in sight for thousands of miles.
The connecting part between the two halves of the sky was illuminated by the sun and seemed to be coated with a layer of silver. I couldn't help but say in surprise: "What a rare celestial phenomenon, magnificent and majestic..."
Ximen Qing slowly lowered his head, and there was a crystal drop of water on the bridge of his nose slowly sliding down to the tip of his nose. Ximen Qing seemed to suddenly transform into a wise man, and said in a deep and steady voice: "You didn't realize, God wants to
Is it raining?”
Xia Xun said in surprise: "It's raining? The sun is shining brightly, is it going to rain?"
Before the voice fell, there was a "click" of thunder in the sky, and heavy rain fell from the sky. Raindrops as big as peas hit the ground with a "crack, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop, plop".
The ground was covered with confusion, and the rain was really sudden and fast.
The two looked at each other, shouted at the same time, picked up their robes and ran forward. The rain came quickly and fell hard. It was like a god standing in the sky holding a big basin and pouring water. It was rare.
Fortunately, the other half of the sky still looks clear and blue, with bright sunlight.
The two of them had only run a few dozen steps before they were soaked by the rain. When they squinted and looked forward, they saw many people standing there quietly in the heavy rain, stretching their necks to look at them. There were many people in front of them.
People walking, carrying burdens, carrying children, and pushing carts were all crowded together, and it was noisy. This scene was nothing at first, but it was raining heavily, and they didn't hide or dodge. This seemed particularly strange.
The two of them were a little frightened. They turned around and saw that the street behind them was also filled with white rain and fog. The raindrops hit the ground hard and splashed with water. Other than that, there was nothing strange. What on earth were those people looking at?
For a moment, the two of them didn't think much, they just ran as fast as they could. When they got closer, they realized that the rain was actually bounded by that street. It was pouring here, but there was no water on that side. In Yanggu County,
The common people were standing outside the rain line curiously admiring this rare scene, and the two of them were the unlucky ones who got rained on...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The two of them were walking on the street in embarrassment. Ximen Qing twisted the hem of his clothes and said with a wry smile: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a wicked rain."
Xia Xun walked forward lazily and said lazily: "I have seen the sun rain, and I have heard of the yin and yang rain, but across the street, it rains so hard on one side, but not a drop of rain falls on the other side. It's so evil.
This is also the first time I have seen rain."
The two of them glanced at the drowned rat beside them at the same time, and said in unison: "It must have been you who did it!"
Ximen Qing snorted: "Don't look at other people with your farts. You and I are at odds with each other. Ever since I met you, I have been in bad luck. I used to molest older girls and younger wives. My wife never knew about it, but you
As soon as I came, I asked my wife to teach me a lesson. Because of you, Miss Peng, I have been laying the floor for two days, and you still said it was not your fault?"
Xia Xun shook the rain off his face and asked strangely: "What does it have to do with me if you lay the floor?"
Ximen Qing said: "Why is it irrelevant? The night before yesterday, my wife had already gone to bed. I took off my clothes and was about to have some intimacy with her. But just as I held her in my arms, she suddenly asked me, who is she and your wife?
Be more beautiful."
Xia Xun asked: "What did you say?"
Ximen Qing said: "Of course I say, your wife is more handsome."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Then you deserve it. You can't blame me for this."
Ximen Qing said confidently: "This is what I call sincerity! Humph, last night, I finally made my wife feel happy. I took off my clothes again and was about to go to bed to make out. Who knew that as soon as I hugged her, she asked me again?
The topic of the first night was to ask me who is more beautiful, her or your wife."
Xia Xun said: "Aren't you telling the truth again?"
Ximen Qing rolled his eyes at him and said: "You think I'm stupid, of course I said my wife is the most beautiful, and my Xiaodong is so charming and beautiful, like jade and flowers, unique in the world."
Xia Xun put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "That's right, women like to hear compliments. Even if she knows that what you say is false, she would rather you lie to her. This time, Mrs. Sister-in-law is very happy, and Brother Ximen should be able to get what he wants.
?”
Ximen Qing said dejectedly: "Forget it, this time I not only slept on the floor again, but I was also kicked off the bed by my wife."
Xia Xun wondered: "Why is this?"
Ximen Qing said reluctantly: "She said that I am so bad now that I have learned to lie..."
Xia Xun was silent for a while, then sighed sympathetically: "Actually, I think... Mrs. Sister-in-law is just enjoying the process of abusing you."
Ximen Qing said with a look of sadness and anger: "I think so too."
Xia Xun held back a smile and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "My condolences!"
Ximen Qing was very obedient. The curve of his slumped face suddenly seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, rising together. In an instant, he completed the difficult process from being inexplicably sad to smiling, and his narrow red phoenix eyes were also narrowed.
He stood up and let out a few evil laughs. Xia Xun was startled, took a step back, and said warily: "Brother Ximen, what's wrong with you?"
Ximen Qing didn't even look at him, and ran to the roadside in a hurry, shouting: "Aha! Xiaojiu'er, I haven't seen you for a few days and you have become so plump. Tsk, tsk, tsk, come on, let's
Let's see, with this figure and this face, whoever marries our drunkard would be a real loser.
