Chapter 162 Hearth Hone

The carriage in the fat life south city casually wandered around, beef store is not difficult to find, barely can be considered to swallow, Cao Wei earlier still do not know how this young girl look scruffy, and then glimpsed her eaten beef sauce, greasy hands on the body of a random wipe, see Cao Wei straight roll eyes. Xu didn’t let Cao Wei look away, did not hide his light friends, even personally went to the silk shop to buy a few bright clothes for the girl, this is not all, see the little girl stared blankly at a large number of colorful rouge box, and then pulled out a lot of silver, which makes Cao Wei some can’t bear it, thought you at least is a words and deeds to the north of the country’s rise and fall of the guy, so have the leisure to accompany a little girl! You are a man whose words and deeds are related to the rise and fall of Beiliang.

Carriage from the north gate of Feishou out of the city, non-stop hoof, rushed to the next resting place Huangnan County, in the dusk of the twilight to reach the grain silo of the Northern Liang, the new county guard Cai Junchen dragged the family just moved into Song Yan once lived in the mansion not long, and suddenly from the land of the stragglers to the flourishing Huangnan County, it is estimated that the guy has not completely slowed down the God, once the porter said that the king of the Northern Liang came to see us, the wind at the foot, and can not wait for the hand and foot and the dog’s leg posture, Xu Fenghua, the king of the Northern Liang. Xu Fengyen naturally did not have to wait outside the door, not long after walking into the residence, he saw Cai Junchen and Yu Ruorou running together, Cai Junchen’s swordsmanship is mediocre, at least there are still some three-legged kung fu to play the base, pity the former queen of Qingcang City, stopping her feet when she came up for air, Xia Fei cheeks, Xu Fengyen waved his hand to let her and Cai Junchen are free of bowing etiquette, walked into the depths of the courtyard, and took a glance at the brand-new clothes on the body of Cai Junchen, and then he saw the new clothes on his body. Taking a glance at Cai Junchen’s brand new fourth grade civil official’s patch, he joked, “County Cai, I heard the people in the city say that you, Lord Cai, refuse to take off your official uniform even when you sleep, so I’m wondering, can it be more comfortable than the dragon robes you used to wear?”

Cai Junchen bowed, smiled brightly and said: “I’m really not with the king, indeed much more comfortable, in the Qing Cang wear that thing, is to get addicted to, can live a day is a day, I’m afraid that the next day their heads do not know where to give people, sleep is not solid. Now greatly different, serious larks official complementary son, my ancestors upward push dozens of twenty generations, when the official has, but that is also the size of the sesame green beans of the official, my job this time is considered to be glorious ancestors, back to the humble Huangnan County affairs to the king to get ironed out, thinking about to re-revise the genealogy, when I dare to implore you to do not begrudge pen and ink, to help me to write some desktop articles, dozens of words on the line. ”

Xu Fengnian nodded: “This is a small matter, as long as you can suppress the four branches of the Wang Clan in Huangnan County, don’t scourge Huangnan County into a mess, the genealogy of the matter, I will definitely contribute, as for the enjoinment of Queen Yu, I will also give it.”

Hear the queen this urge to call, has been the county governor’s wife of Yu Rou Rou smiled sweetly, perhaps a side of the water and soil can really nurture a side of the people, she used to be the fox charming style, Mei is still in, the fox word is to be modified into the word Ming, the whole person’s feeling was originally like a windowless house, open the window, naturally open up a little brighter. Originally two fingers in the twisting official patch Cai Junchen heard the words of great joy, rubbing his hands fiercely, and heard the door to send joy to the king of Beiliang said: “Good people do in the end, I may as well tell you through a bottom, not to mention the scholar into the service, the scholar association with the founding of the Academy of these two things, Huangnan County in the entire Beiliang Road are among the top of the feng shui treasure, you will be good to keep an eye on the time, I give you carte blanche to dispose of, and remember not to let the happy event into a disaster. Remember not to let the happy event turn into a disaster. You stole from Qing Cang City to the Huangnan County of those antiques calligraphy and painting treasures, a total of forty-six pieces, I’ll pretend that one did not see, you just push the boat to use to go to the Liang scholars as a favor, and later, when they have an official status, no matter in which state to establish a firm foothold, and then you want to enlist, today one or two silver for a small matter, then you have to spend one or two gold.”

Cai Junchen hemmed and hawed and did not dare to speak, but Yu Ruorou did not see the previous timidity, smiled and said: “The king feel free to rest assured, slave girl roughly calculated, these objects sold cheaply, then, worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, the county sheriff’s office a penny not less, surely all the money spent in the governance of the livelihood of the county on top of the Huangnan. It’s a pity that you are not familiar with the area, you can’t sell it at a fair price, otherwise ……”

Xu Fenian pointed at Cai Junchen, smiled and lectured, “Lord Cai, Queen Yu is much better than you. Merely letting her dominate the interior is a big stretch. I’ll nag you one more time, you can only put down half of your heart first, I’ll tell the two heads of the Shui Jing Wang Clan Wang Xihua and Ling Su Wang Clan Wang Zhenlv, they’re all elegant and famous, with a good start from them, there’s no worry about not selling at a high price. The other half of the heart you still have to hang on, Huangnan four Wang’s these big family, even if I have to lead the line, the bones look down on you or very normal, look up to the strange thing. You in the Qing Cang of that set of human experience, put here does not work, Cai adults to have to start over again to learn over the consciousness. Lastly, don’t think that my trip to the government, is to force you to sell the pot of iron to do a losing business, money this line of work, winning in the thin water flow long, as long as the other day to sit firmly in the position of the county governor of Huangnan, 200,000 taels of silver? A county magistrate in Huangnan County may not even look at the eye. In fact, I know very well, these hard from the Qing Cang moved to the belongings, you Cai Junchen is trying to send to the Lord Secretary, as for how much to send, you look after your own, do not worry about what, I do not have to worry about what the outside world imagined as bad, you send Li Gongde silver, he dared to accept, but also dare not accept not to do things, he has his ‘old Huangnan’ to help out one or two, you will do things in Huangnan County, the county of Huangnan. You’ll be able to do things in Huangnan County much more smoothly.”

Cai Junchen surprisingly did not have the face and mouth to be thankful, but just gave a heavy hmmm. Xu Fengyen did not stay in the residence for long and left after having a meal. Cai Junchen sent to the door and watched as the young Northern Liang King boarded the carriage, looking at where the horse’s head was pointing, it should be going to Wang Xihua’s mansion. Cai Junchen did not directly enter the mansion, but instead sat on his butt on the entrance steps, Yu Rou Rou was a little surprised, and after sitting down, he tugged at the skirt under his plump buttocks, inquiring in a low voice, “What’s wrong? It’s not like you.”

Cai Junchen rubbed his cheeks, sighed, whispered: “My husband’s life is considered in the land of the exiles there in the blood and water over, when the emperor wore a dragon robe, in fact, really to say that mixing with the real officialdom, just a layman, but have not eaten the dog meat has always seen the dog planing, the least has heard the dog barking is not it? Where you say when the official, not the lower side of the people desperately trying to figure out the intention of the upper? They are afraid that they will go to the wrong temple and worship the wrong Bodhisattva even though they have raised the pig’s head. But my husband, the governor of Lingzhou, has turned it upside down, and it’s the King of Beiliang’s turn to teach me how to be an official and pave the way for me. Do you really think I’m capable of running the country and helping the world? I don’t believe it. His North Liang King’s mind, such as take me a thousand gold to buy bones, with me an outsider to clean Huangnan County, these I understand, but really to say that a new person to sit in the chair under the buttocks of my husband, it is not difficult, the North Liang again short of people, is not so shabby. Bei Liang King he didn’t force us to smash pots and pans for him, this is clearly to force me, Zhou Junchen, to willingly serve death for Bei Liang ah.”

Yu Rou Rou smiled, “Husband is not happy?”

Cai Junchen slowly got up and calmly said, “After living half a lifetime, for the first time I am standing up straight, it’s not like I really want my husband to go to the sands and die, so what is there to be unwilling to do?”

Yu Rou Rou arched her eyebrows and asked charmingly, “If, I mean if in case that person looks at me as a broken flower, will you send me this time?”

Cai Junchen looked straight at her, his eyes resolute, and said in a deep voice, “In the past, that was for the sake of staying alive. If this day still comes in the end in Beiliang, I will not send it away. Being a person can’t go back more and more.”

Yu Rou Rou laughed, playfully wrinkled her nose, unlike a woman whose style was ripe for the picking, it was like a naive girl, and said in an exasperated manner, “You know that he won’t, so you intentionally said good things to me, right?”

Cai Junchen stretched out his fingers and helped her lift a strand of green silk from the corner of her forehead, and said with red eyes, “Daughter-in-law, all these years, I’m sorry.”

Yu Rou Rou turned around violently and walked up the steps, her hands wringing behind her back, her footsteps light and agile.

……

On the carriage, Cao Wei shrank in a corner furthest away from the young girl who was busy applying rouge and water powder, sneering at Xu Fenian, “Yo, surnamed Xu, couldn’t see it before, bought a handful of good hearts?”

Xu Fenian squinted, “You should have known when I bribed your master and brothers to beat you up together, right?”

Cao Wei, who had his scars revealed, held a knife in one hand, “I really cut you?”

Xu Fengyen added fuel to the fire, “I’ll have to give away this knife of yours when we get to Long Qing County, now hurry up and touch it a few more times.”

Cao Wei said angrily, “Don’t even think about it!”

Xu Fengyen smiled, “If you don’t give it to me, I won’t rob it?”

Cao Wei was about to speak when Xu Fengyen stretched out his two hands and curved a finger, “10,000 elite cavalry, only 9,000 left.”

Cao Wei pounced on a hungry tiger and grasped Xu Fengnian’s hand with only four fingers, and said with a smile, “Xu, Xu Fengnian, Master Xu, Ancestor Xu! We are a gentleman’s word, a team of horses is difficult to catch up, said 10,000 can give 20,000, only can not give only 9,000 ah, do business how can you lack of catty and two, talking about a fair and square! You and I are heroes, we need to be bold!”

Xu Fengyen said with a smile on his face, “If you want me to take back the thousand horses, fine, go cool off on the side, don’t be an eyesore.”

Cao Wei laughed dryly, “The carriage is this big.”

Xu Fengyen pointed to the curtain, Cao Wei didn’t drag his feet, rolled out of the carriage, then lifted the curtain and poked out his head, “Don’t forget, it’s 10,000 not 9,000 ah! One less soldier or horse I’ll be anxious with you.”

As a result, Cao Dwarf forgot about the existence of that bad-tempered killer girl, and was slapped out by a horizontal bronze mirror, Cao Wei didn’t even dare to let out a fart, and sat beside the horseman Xu Yan Bing with his teeth bared, and being bored, he repeated the same old tune, and smiled with this world’s top expert and asked, “Xu expert, do you think I’m not even more jaded than the one in the inside who’s surnamed Xu? ”

Xu Yan Bing was indifferent.

Cao Wei refused to give up and asked, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize this point, then I am taller and more powerful than the one surnamed Xu, you should nod your head, right?”

Xu Yan Bing still ignored it.

Cao Wei climbed to Xu Yan Bing’s side, very nonchalantly hooked shoulders, said in all seriousness: “I know you are the top of the powerful experts, otherwise you can not chase Hong Jing Yan and seed Liang all the way to the border of the Gusei state, but I Cao Wei is not bad ah, I and the same surname Xu is not deal with the head, but with you to meet you feel like hating each other, I have some things have to be first to tell you clearly! ……”

Xu Yan Bing laughed in a low voice: “Are you trying to say, I Cao Wei read less and see less, you don’t lie to me about money, lie to me about money I have a good temper and don’t hit you. I am handsome and tall, you don’t lie to me either, if you dare to lie to me about this matter, I will definitely beat you to death?”

Cao Wei marveled: “Surname Xu’s this have told you? Damn, this son of a bitch must have said a lot of words to ruin my reputation, Xu expert, you can not believe that guy ah, surnamed Xu’s other skills are not big, cheating women cheating men really unconvincing not, absolutely called the stove fire pure blue!”

Xu Yan Bing such a cold-faced and cold-hearted character is also some tears and laughter, but also did not let Cao Wei move the dog’s paw away, said flatly: “Beiliang King did not say much else, is to let me go with you to the western region.”

Cao Wei bit his lip and was silent.

Inside the carriage, Xu Fengyen was chatting with Yang Guangdou about the Fish Dragon Gang that had risen to prominence in Lingzhou, a gang that was now financially prosperous to the point of being a mess, and the family business had snowballed, and had jumped from a third-rate force in Lingzhou to become one of the top gangs, and as for how the Fish Dragon Gang made money, outsiders only knew that it was the business of killing people by selling them back to the borders. Xu Fengyen told the old man to let the fish dragon gang with a few big horse thieves to do horse trafficking, naturally, it will not be the equivalent of half of the war horses lead to the price of cooked horses, but from the prairie on the capture of wild horses, regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of the young and strong, the fish dragon gang are out of the high price of the purchase, the border of the moment a lot of horse thieves have started a vast “pouring the horses” business, but not Directly with the fish and dragon gang connector, but sold to the fish and dragon gang with the love of the horse thieves, the price is naturally greatly discounted. Hearing this, the old man laughed and said, “Using this stupid method to add cooked horses from Northern Liang, will it not help?”

Xu Feng Nian shook his head and laughed: “Geographically, to whom the land of the stragglers belongs, the gains and losses of Bei Liang and Bei Mang are counted double, these wild horses without owners are almost the same thing, doubling the number is not something to be taken lightly. Besides, Xu Snapdragon said to me a long time ago, holding a family, is nothing more than the new three years old three years, sewing and mending another three years, sewing and mending two words the most test of a family’s master’s skills. Now, I have to take care of a thousand things in Beiliang, I have one purpose, as long as I can turn the silver into Beiliang’s war power, even if it’s a piece of business, under the premise of not delaying the big things, I’ll do it all the time.”

Yang Guangdou sighed, “It is a fortunate thing for Beiliang that Your Highness has this heart.”

Xu Fengyen suddenly saw that the girl had applied powder, “added flowers” and inserted two hairpins diagonally on her head, put down the bronze mirror, sat upright, and made a smile to him, probably because she felt that the woman had a lot of flavors.

Yang Guangdou was shocked by the light, gulped, can not bear to look at that face, and quickly turned his head to pick up a book.

The old man thought to himself that it was really difficult for this little girl, this must be much more difficult than assassinating a heavenly image expert, right?

Xu Fengyen’s determination has long been to the year in the face pasted half a kilogram of rouge Li Zi girl to sharpened out, smiling face remains, bent down and reached out to the girl intentionally cocked the orchid finger back to hard, and then gently scraped away with the fingers of some of the overly thick rouge.

Cao Wei to die at this time lifted the curtain, see that always stiff “charming” face, the Cao Wei to scared out of his wits, made a self-poke eyes gesture, muttered in a low voice: “Damn, one more than a ruthless!”

Xu Fenian asked softly, “What about that big cat that likes to eat bamboo?”

Oh girl lowered her eyes, “Dead.”

Xu Fengyen helped her pin the two hairpins that were originally crooked and rubbed her head, “Then I’ll have someone find you another one from the bamboo forest in Xishu.”

This young girl, who had once run a hand blade through Wang Ming Yin’s chest and had once kicked the head of Artemisia Liu’s master with both feet for fun, huffed her little nose and gently shook her head.

The old man left the carriage sagely, sitting next to Xu Yan Bing with Cao Wei on his left and right, and Cao Shorty gloated, “Uncle Yang, also given to be driven out ah?”

Heh heh.

Three times in a row.

Cao Wei learned smart this time, in order to explode the momentum directly jumped off the carriage, as expected, a slender arm directly through the wall of the car, if Cao Wei does not escape, it will have to be cut to the heart.
