When she woke up in the morning, Ayun saw deep bloodshot eyes in Li Xu's eyes. That confused and confused look should never appear in the eyes of a boy less than fifteen years old. On the grassland, even if someone was ten years older than Li Xu,
His eyes were not as deep as his, so deep that it was heartbreaking. This made Ayun feel a little guilty, but the feeling of guilt was quickly replaced by a trace of pleasure in revenge. "He was the one who destroyed Suotou Xiren's
Fighting spirit!" The slave girl thought happily, her white teeth unknowingly touched the wound last night, feeling a gentle pain.
"Prepare some cheese, and I'll ask someone to help you pick up the felt bag this afternoon!" Li Xu's voice was not as weak as Ayun imagined. After a sleepless night, he seemed to have grown a few years older.
The tone of his speech was somewhat calm as an adult.
In the morning light, the boy's shoulders appear very broad and his spine is very straight. Putting aside the grievances between each other for the time being, this is a picture of a good body that is rare among young people in the prairie. It is solid and heavy. You can forget all the wind and rain when you lean on it.
.
"Yes, Master!" Ah Yun agreed in a panic, as if all her bad intentions had been seen through, and thin beads of sweat poured out from her forehead and the tip of her nose at the same time.
"You can change it yourself if you need it. The cattle and sheep in my name are all written on the sheepskin in the box, using Chinese characters!" Li Xu warned with a smile, turned around and left.
"How does the master know that I know Chinese characters?" Ayun didn't dare to look into Li Xu's eyes. She didn't raise her head until the other person's footsteps gradually faded away, thinking silently.
"Could it be that he knew that I looked through his box yesterday? Then why wasn't he angry? Why did he trust me? Wasn't he afraid that I would take his treasure and run away?" In the sunshine, the slave girl carrying the copper pot gradually frowned.
They gathered together into a ball, and half a pot of water dripped down to wet their feet.
Li Xu didn't have the energy to pay attention to the sound of running water behind him. Since last night, how to rescue Uncle Jiu has become the top priority in his mind. Su Chuobu is far away from the Central Plains, so a few horses must be prepared. Wild animals are infested along the way.
Bandits are rampant, so it is obviously not a safe plan to only allow Wang Mazi and Xu Fu, the eldest member of the Xu family, to return south. If more people are gathered to accompany Wang Mazi, more traders will have to clear their goods in advance...
"Old Sun is in trouble, and we have to help. If Mr. Li offers a suitable price, I am willing to give you a full discount on the goods, and then accompany Mazi on this journey!" After listening to Li Xu's introduction, a man who had been with Sun Jiu last time
The vendor from Lai Su Chuobu stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, Brother Ninth is a good man. We can't afford the money, so we should give him a stick!" Several vendors who had never met Li Xu responded in a loud voice.
"The price, the price should be easy to negotiate. We don't ask for anything else. I just ask for Li. Mr. Li will take care of you if you have more in the future." A southern tea merchant stammered. There were too many merchants with them.
The same goods are concentrated in one place, which is obviously not a good sign. Instead of waiting for the goods to drop in price, it is better to sell them all at once. You can save your capital and get a favor at the same time. This young man is worth it now.
With the friends he has made, he can do his best to rescue Sun Jiu. In the future, he will be able to go back and forth, and he will not be afraid that he will not help if he encounters trouble!
Fortunately, Sun Jiu had been traveling outside the Great Wall for many years and had accumulated enough popularity. Fortunately, Li Xu now had enough wealth in his hands and his status in the Su Chuan tribe was high enough. With the help of Zhang San, he was busy for more than two hours.
, everyone finally put together a team of fifteen traders returning south, carrying Li Xu's expectations and the silverware exchanged from his hands, and hurriedly disappeared into the grass in the distance.
"Master Li, Brother Ninth was so optimistic about you at the beginning. He really didn't make a mistake!" Uncle Zhang followed behind Li Xu and praised with emotion. Dozens of taels of silverware changed hands in the blink of an eye. He has been doing business all his life and has never seen such a big deal.
Once those Shu brocades and tea leaves fail to sell for the expected price, the honest and respectable young man in front of him will lose all his money.
"I'm just about to open a shop here, so I'm not in a hurry to sell the goods. Aren't Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang going to stay in Su Chuanbu? They can help me in the shop!" Li Xu turned around and replied to Uncle Zhang.
Confident smile. Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang are the names of the two young people last night. They want to stay in Su Chuanbu, but they lack a suitable reason.
"Well, that's great! Mr. Xu, Mr. Li, you are really thoughtful!" Uncle Zhang didn't react for a moment. He was stunned and stuttered. Last night, he was still worried that Li Xu couldn't fulfill his promise, but he didn't expect to just use
After spending one night, the young man arranged everything properly.
"Third uncle, you might as well bring some books to sell next time!" Li Xu smiled, whipped the horse behind its butt, and rushed into the tribe. Both Xu Dayan and the coppersmith master said that being cruel to the defeated was the rule on the grassland.
Last night, Ayun also answered the same question. Can this rule be changed? The young man hopes that he can give it a try if he has the opportunity.
"Actually, they are all kind-hearted and good people! They just haven't read books!" The young heart thought sincerely.
When it comes to friends, the shepherds of Su Chuobu really deserve the word "kindness". Especially for friends like Li Xu who are loyal and affectionate, everyone is willing to take his matters as their own. I heard that he is going to start a new life.
The felt bag, Aslan, Duer, Hou Quli and others rushed to help. The price of wool is the lowest on the grassland now, so buying a felt does not cost Li Xu much Shu brocade. In order to open the first warehouse in the tribe as soon as possible
For the opening, Elder Etuo specially allocated some dry wood strips and wool ropes for tying felt bags from the public treasury. Everyone worked together and in less than two days, the felt bags under Li Xu's name were transformed from one
It became four.
"From now on, the fruit wine brewed by Aunt Qing, the scimitar made by the coppersmith master, and Zhongyuan's paper, pens, and silk can all be sold here! The price of each item is fairer than others!" Tao Kuo stood at the outermost corner, taking off his silk clothes.
There was a felt bag in front of the door, happily describing his dream.
Lin Ren does not have the concept of valuing agriculture over business, so being able to do something for her sweetheart makes her feel happy from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, this is the only warehouse within hundreds of miles. With her and Fu Li running it, the girl believes that this store will soon be opened.
The warehouse can become the most important part of the tribe.
"Little money fan, this warehouse seems to be attached!" Elder Etuo reminded him pretending to be kind, stroking his beard.
"I'm about to marry Fu Li as my bride! The elder is so confused!" Tao Kuotuo was not polite at all and answered loudly while standing at the door of the felt bag.
"It turns out that someone is going to marry Fu Li as a bride! No wonder the felt bag in the middle is so big and tall!" Aslan put her hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted around with a smile, "Who else wants to move in?
This felt bag, you won’t have a chance after this summer!”
"Me!" "Me!" "I want to live too!" Several flowery girls responded loudly, holding hands and rushing towards the group of felt bags that had just been set up. "Aslan! You are so bad!" Tao Kuo took off his clothes and was shy.
Yelling, he rushed forward in three or two steps, stretched out his hands, and blocked the door of the felt bag. The new house was occupied by another woman, which foreshadowed that her husband would be tired of her in the future. When it comes to lifelong happiness, the girl will definitely
Not willing to run away because of shyness.
The felt bag in the center was made very large, so the door was two feet wider than the ordinary felt bag. Tao Kuo, a slender figure, had her hair blocked on this side and left the other side empty. Several girls who usually love to be naughty smiled mischievously,
Tao Kuo was about to give it a try. He cursed Aslan for being evil-hearted and begged his female companions for mercy. However, the female companions showed no mercy at all. They formed a small team and rushed to the left side of the door.
Right. Some people rushed to the window where the moisture was being vented, and put on half of their boots to make a window-turning gesture.
"One, two, turn over!" The young shepherds laughed and encouraged the girl who climbed over the window and rushed to the door.
"No, no!" Tao Kuo waved his arms, guarding his love nest like a mother bird.
A broad hand stretched out and grasped the girl's fingers that were turning white with anxiety. Tao Kuo stopped laughing and leaned his head happily against Li Xu's broad chest.
"Young man, you are protecting your wife like this before you are married. Be careful, after we are married, she will take advantage of the situation and go to heaven!" Aslan's wife Pade "scolded" her as a person who had been there.
"Yes, yes, wives need to be disciplined!" The girl in red, half of her boots already on the wooden window frame, smiled and made faces at Li Xu. The sky was not very cold anymore, and under her raised silk skirt, she
The slender white calves are clearly visible.
"Damn it, Toya, when you get married, I will definitely give your husband a riding crop!" Taukotos spat, threatening in a low voice.
"Who will give Fu Li a riding crop?" Toya pulled her long legs down from the window and jumped like a deer.
"Dear brother, I will give you a riding crop to accompany you to herd sheep. Dear brother, I would like to turn into a little lamb and lie beside you..." The girls laughed unscrupulously,
Singing, the song ripples in the summer sunset.
"Fu Li, what if I do something wrong in the future?" The girl hid her shameful face on Li Xu's shoulder, her voice as quiet as a gnat. "You can beat me or scold me like other husbands teach their wives, but don't
, don’t drive me away….”
Li Xu's hand tightened with great effort, and Tao Kuo's silky catkin lay firmly in the depths of his palm. He didn't understand the way to express friendship on the grassland, nor did he know the oath of the people, so he had to use this silent language.
Tell each other that love and commitment exist.
"Holding the child's hand, one grows old with the child! Is this what the Central Plains people call holding the child's hand?" The girl Eru looked at her sister immersed in happiness quietly from a distance, her eyes full of envy.
Xu Xianzhe went to negotiate with the Khitans! But dealing with foreigners was not Brother Xu's business at all. Eru turned around gently and disappeared from the excitement.
Following Aunt Qing since she was a child, she read too many Chinese poems. She seemed to understand every sentence, but when she finally understood one or two of them, she tasted the deep sadness behind the poems. (Unfinished)
