Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey

Chapter 557 Young and Promising

"Get off the boat, get off the boat!"

"Awu, Azhao, and Arong are here to move the goods; Aji, go to the east and look for it. I saw a horse and carriage in front of me on the boat. It's a few steps away. Let's rent more carriages and come back!"

The ship docked, and more than 30 people disembarked one after another. Yang Xu ordered his personal guards to help, and went to the bottom cabin to fetch the horse. The tall horse, which had been bored for more than ten days, pedaled back to the land, shaking its head, stepping on its hooves, and smelling good smell. , somewhat temperamental.

Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I know it's hard for you, eat well today and work hard. "

Yang Xu stroked the horse's head and comforted the horse's neck, and then looked at Chishan, not complaining at all. He then thought of the river otter driving the boat and felt quite envious.

Junior brother is really good at controlling beasts and mouth!

Chishan snorted and raised his head proudly in the cabin.

Liang Qu packed up his weapons and silver, and casually touched the white clothes on the hanger, which felt smooth and soft.

His face lit up with joy.

"It's done!"

A full month.

This shark treasure finally softened from being as hard as a steel plate to being as soft as ever!

The color has not changed due to the absorption of the blue gold. When it does not change color, it remains cotton white.

texture..…. “Resilience has increased.”

Liang Qu held the end of the dragon spirit silk thread that Qinglang picked off and twisted it together. The thread naturally grew and reorganized. It was a good thing.

The three pieces of Hanhai Blue Gold are completely absorbed, and the strength of the Dragon Spirit Pin is increased. It takes some effort to pick up the line with the Spirit Soldier.

"I wonder if the ability to absorb water essence has been restored."

Before today, Liang Qu had taken Long Lingxiao into the water to test Factory Baoyi. It had the same effect of attracting water essence as Hanhai Blue Gold, but it was slightly less effective than the single Hanhai Blue Gold. The amount absorbed in one solid hour was only three thirds. Second, from stone to clothing, there is a sign of wear and tear in between.

"Ah Shui, where is the person?"

Xu Zishuai looks outside.

"coming!"

Liang Qu took off his regular clothes, put on Long Lingqiao, and hurriedly got off the boat.

port.

dusty.

The personal guard Aji arrived on horseback, followed by more than a dozen carriages. For such a big order, the manager of the carriage and horse shop came to discuss it in person. Yang Xu showed his voucher, bargained several times, and was about to pay the deposit.

Xu reached out and held it down.

"Don't you know the steward's last name?"

Something went wrong with the money he received, and the steward was quite unhappy, but he didn't dare to get angry: "My surname is Liao, what are your orders, madam?"

"Do you know Liao Zhenghuan?"

The manager of the car dealer testified: "Madam, do you know my uncle?"

Mrs. Xu said calmly: "Your uncle must call me auntie."

Aunt?

The manager of the car dealership looked Xu up and down.

She is very good-looking and young, in her twenties, thirty at most. Why is she so senior?

My aunt is not a junior member of the Xu family!

But when he saw the people coming around, he was not just joking around, "Madam, you are from the Xu family..."

"Has Xu Siqing heard of it?"

Say a few words.

The dealer's expression changed slightly, he bowed his head repeatedly, and was extremely respectful, "I'll give you another 20% off!"

Mrs. Xu remained silent.

The steward gritted his teeth: "30% off!"

"50% off, the Xu family will pay the bill."

“The steward hesitated.

The Xu family is holding a birthday banquet, and it's a good time for the carriage and horse business.

50% off, it's not a loss on weekdays, you can make some fur, but on this day, if you don't make much, it's a loss.

"Um?"

Yes, yes, you are an elder, so I will treat you as a little filial piety.

Easily cut the price in half and transfer the payment recipient.

Xu Shiyun waved her hand lightly.

The steward directed the carriages to move forward, the carriages were lined up in a row, and the grooms unloaded the goods.

Liang Qu, who had just disembarked from the boat, witnessed the whole process and was stunned. He moved towards his second senior brother Yu Dun.

Does Mistress have such a wide network of connections in Huangzhou? "

"It's not a good habit to talk behind your back."

"Ahem." Liang Qu scratched the back of his neck, "Master's wife, this disciple is just curious."

Mrs. Xu explained: "When my uncle's second daughter was young, she had an affair with a scholar named Liao. This girl has been spoiled since she was a child. She has a very bad temper. If she decides to do something, ten cows will not be able to bring her back. She threatens the family if she doesn't get married." Agree and elope.

The family had no choice but to agree. Who knows if there is no light in the east but light in the west, the scholar has no ability to succeed in reading!

But he did a good job.

Over the past ten years, my uncle has given me a lot of support, and almost everyone in the Huangzhou Car and Horse Industry has changed their surname to Liao. Previously, I noticed that the manager’s facial features were somewhat similar, so I stepped forward and asked, and it turned out to be true. "

All the disciples were stunned.

relative!

Xu Zishuai rubbed his hands.

"Master has the final say in Pingyang Town. Now that we have changed places, it all depends on Master! Fortunately, the disciple is usually very filial, and finally a good life has come!

The brothers and sisters are having fun openly. Don't be polite to any girl you like on the street. If you start a fight, you'll leave. If the teacher's wife covers the sky with her hands... covering your head, the first one to report to the official will come and arrest you! "

Mrs. Xu stretched out her index finger, poked Xu Zishuai's forehead and pressed it back until Xu Zishuai was pressed into an "iron bridge", with the back of his head touching the ground.

Everyone laughed.

All kinds of gifts were carried on horse-drawn carriages, and people were hired to take care of the ships.

The men rode horses, the women rode in cars, and followed the team to the city. Bang!

The groom cracked his whip.

Otter Nenkai crossed her legs, lay against the cart, peeled fresh peanuts and stuffed them into her mouth, turning a blind eye to the strange looks from passers-by.

"Huangzhou is very different."

Liang Qu rode up Chishan to follow the convoy, and what he saw and heard along the way was particularly fresh.

Maybe it's because of the center of Yizhou.

The prosperity of Zhoucheng is no worse than that of Pingyang Fucheng, and one thing is particularly eye-catching.

All the rice shops and cloth shops on the street have the name "Xu" on them.

Without exception.

Seeing Liang Qu pay attention to the name of Buzhuang, Yang Xu lightly held the horse's belly and walked side by side.

"Junior brother, are you confused?"

Liang Qu asked what was on his mind.

From the moment he got off the boat and met the manager of the carriage house, the Xu family's presence was extremely strong, which he had never experienced in Pingyang Mansion.

Yang Xu chuckled: "Junior brother, I don't travel far enough. There are two capitals and eighteen provinces in the world. The territory is so huge. Even Beiting's Liujin Sea is now included in our territory. However, the independence of the two capitals proves their power." different!

Nanzhili is the companion capital, where this dynasty was founded, and its control over the local area is undoubtedly much stronger than that of other state capitals.

I remember there was a Weng family in Huaiyin Mansion, right? You should have moved to Pingyang Mansion now. Have you heard about it several times before moving here? "

Liang Qu shook his head.

There is a Zongshuai in the Weng family who is engaged in the medicinal materials business. His reputation is a matter of reputation. There is a master and ancestor in the clan, and the family's presence is not much higher. The imperial decrees are everywhere.

If I ask you to adjust the food supply, you will be punished if you are delayed for half a day. If you are asked to withdraw from Huaiyin Palace and change it to Pingyang Palace, you must change the position within a month. If you are late for half a day, you will be punished, and the master will also have to move.

The outside world of the two capitals is completely different. Although the Xu family is famous for its cloth business, it is not just about silk and satin, but is involved in all aspects.

If you don't do it yourself, let the big branches of the tree be done by small families who are closely married to each other. Huangzhou is not far from Nanzhili, so it's not obvious yet. If the business is big, if you go to the northwest, it will be a dense spider web, and outsiders will It is very difficult to get into the net and try to climb up. "

net?

Liang Qu had a deep understanding.] Yu Dun nodded: "The world is so big that the big ones control the small ones, and the small ones depend on the big ones. They unite and rely on each other. When the big ones can no longer control them, the world will change and their positions will change." ”

Yang Xu smiled and said: "I started to attack, and the Martial Saint who was leading the battle alone had two hands nearby. The people who united and responded were extraordinary. He kept saying that he was neutral and the king was granted the title. The news came in the morning and he switched sides in the evening. Although he didn't know that the old emperor of Daqian was at that time. What’s the reaction? I think he changed more than one pair of pants.”

In this way, the people of the two capitals have the best life? "

Approaching Changsong curiously.

"Well, not necessarily." Yang Xu shook his head.

Liang Qu was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Of all the people present, apart from the master, probably no one is as knowledgeable as the senior brother.

On weekdays, Master rarely discussed government affairs, and was quite cautious like an "elderly".

Never comment on things you don’t fully understand.

In my opinion, the people in the frontier are the worst, followed by the people in the south.

On the contrary, in a place like Huangzhou, which is not far or near, the people live the best life and are quite wealthy. It is no problem to say that it is prosperous.

If you don't get seriously ill and work alone, you can eat meat every other day if you are young and strong. No matter how bad you are, you have to eat tofu. When you are busy, if you don't see meat for ten days, it will cause trouble. "

Everyone was shocked.

"Why?"

Yang Xu thought for a while and said: "The frontier is too poor, and the output from the frontier is too little. I wish I could have ten acres of land per person. The south is not poor, but even more prosperous. There are too many people, and there are few people with land."

Liang Qu was thoughtful.

Hu Qi explained to Changsong'er that Liang Qu didn't understand: "Senior Brother Xu fell in love with a beautiful woman and offered to spend ten taels of silver to spend a wonderful time with two candles. He turned around and found that the woman's home had hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and she lived there. Can you succeed after entering the courtyard?"

Xu Zi, who was listening silently, turned around.

"No, just keep talking, why did you involve me?"

Hu Qi shook his head: "I'm not a fool, it's unlikely."

"?"

“What if the other party’s family is destitute and has seriously ill parents to support?

He punched Changsong and said, "Then Senior Brother Xu may really take advantage."

"Hey, hey, it's really a discussion, isn't it?"

"A meaning."

"Eh." Yang Xu was slightly surprised, "Junior Brother Liang's analogy is quite interesting. The principle is this. If a beautiful woman is not in poverty, how can Brother Xu use ten taels of silver to get it? But Brother Xu has the advantage, and the beautiful woman will suffer. ”

Xu Zishuai was heartbroken: "Elder brother, why are you included!"

"Senior Brother, can you tell me about Mr. Xu? Should we pay attention to anything when we see him?"

Cao Rang changed the subject.

The minister of Guanglu Temple, from the third rank, is in charge of banquets and banquets, distinguishing their styles, checking their expenses, and responsible for part of the etiquette and distribution during the sacrificial period.

A standard civil servant and scholar.

These people are all rough people.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I did something wrong?

"It doesn't matter." Yang Xu waved his hand, "My grandfather was annoyed by these things the most. In the past, when he was on errands, the standards for officials at each level were completely different. If he made a mistake, his head would be ruined. After he became an official in the court, he became more and more arbitrary. Anyone who asks him about etiquette or rules will pull his ear and spit sleep into it."

Everyone was a little relieved.

Don't like to follow rules.

That's a good feeling.

After the carriage team had walked for more than ten miles, low hills stretched and a group of buildings no smaller than the Weng Family Courtyard appeared in front of them.

The Xu family has Grandmaster Zhenxiang, who rarely shows up. Mr. Xu belongs to the seniority in the public eye. The most senior seniors have 12 brothers and sisters, less than half of whom are still alive today.

Various cousins, more cousins, plus descendants, descendants of descendants, hundreds of people, we don't need to remember, when you meet people, you should follow the senior brother and salute. "

Yu Dun gave two instructions.

At this time, Mrs. Xu had already got off the carriage, and the concierge reported, "Are you...Miss Xu?"

The concierge was quite young, around 20 years old. Hearing that Mrs. Xu was Xu Rongguang's daughter, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Xu Rongguang is nearly ninety years old and has only two daughters, who must be at least fifty.

Not right!

Xu was helpless: "Is Uncle Cui here?"

"Wait a moment, ma'am."

Seeing that the visitor was very considerate of the Xu family and the concierge was not stupid, he hurriedly called for someone.

Not a moment.

The old man with gray hair and beard came out with a cane. When he saw Mrs. Xu, he was stunned on the spot. He put aside the cane and rubbed his eyes vigorously with both hands. He looked at Yang Dongxiong again and said Chi Ning.

"You are... Uncle Yang's daughter? Where is your mother?"

Uncle Cui! It’s me! Mrs. Xu's eyebrows curved, "When we were young, Wen Jing and I always sneaked out from school to play. You were never willing to tell my father, do you remember? "

Really a young lady? Old Man Cui's beard trembled slightly. He compared and compared again and again, almost falling into tears. He muttered in his mouth, "What I have seen a few years ago, what I have seen clearly, why, why, have changed, changed too much, I can't help but I didn't dare to recognize them, thinking why they were exactly the same. "

"Is it not good?"

"Okay, okay! Come in, come in." Old Cui hurriedly turned aside and slapped the young man with his crutch, "Go and report to Mr. Xu!"

"Which Mr. Xu?"

Old Man Cui almost held his breath.

The concierge responded: "I'll go, I'll go!"

Mrs. Xu stepped forward and patted Old Cui on the back, inexplicably funny: "Is that your grandson? He looks a bit like him."

"Last time you came here, my son was the janitor. He accidentally broke his leg last year. Let's replace him with my grandson. He looks just like him. His head is not as good as a melon seed, but it's a big bump on the elm. It's far worse. Come in quickly. I'll give it to you. You lead the way." Old Man Cui waved.

The servants on the side pushed open the door.

Everyone led their horses and walked.

Old Man Cui grabbed Xu's hand, which was covered with lint. He looked back and said, "There will be many more children this year. Is this your eldest son?"

Yang Xu took a step forward: "Grandpa Cui."

"Your second son..." Midway through his words, Old Cui suddenly stopped, "Yu Dun and Lu Gang, you are strong again, it's better to be stronger!

The last time we saw each other was ten years ago. "

Xu's face looked the same.

Yu Dun and Lu Gang stepped forward and clasped their fists.

Later, when the disciples saw Li, although he was just an old concierge with weak legs and legs, a shallow cultivation, weak Qi and blood, and he was exhausted, he obviously had a good relationship with his master's wife.

After Cao Rang, Old Man Cui looked at him carefully, trying to imprint all the new faces this year into his mind.

It's Liang Qu's turn.

Old Cui was surprised by the badge Liang Qu wore: "Envoy of Hengshui?" Liang Qu bowed and said, "Old Cui has a wise eye. "

"How old are you?"

"After this year, we are exactly twenty."

Old Man Cui nodded, turned around, and asked Xiang Changsong: "How old are you?"

Xiang Changsong's face was full of embarrassment: "Two out of twenty..." What official position? "

"No... no official position."

Old Man Cui went forward and asked Hu Qi: "How old are you?"

"Ahem."

Hu Qi looked at his wife.

Mrs. Xu found it funny: "Uncle Cui, don't ask again. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are both good and ambitious children, but some of them don't take the ordinary path."

Old man Cui understood clearly. He patted Liang Qu on the shoulder with his bare teeth.

“Young and promising, young and promising.

It's Liang Qu's turn.

Old Man Cui was surprised by the badge Liang Qu wore: "Hengshui envoy?"

Liang Qu bowed: "Cui Lao Huiyan."

"How old are you?"

"After this year, we are exactly twenty."

Old Man Cui nodded, turned around, and asked Xiang Changsong: "How old are you?"

Xiang Changsong's face was full of embarrassment: "Two out of twenty..." What official position? "

"No... no official position."

Old Man Cui went forward and asked Hu Qi: "How old are you?"

"Ahem."

Hu Qi looked at his wife.

Mrs. Xu found it funny: "Uncle Cui, don't ask again. Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are both good and ambitious children, but some of them don't take the ordinary path."

Old Man Cui understood clearly and patted Liang Qu on the shoulder, "Young and promising, young and promising.

I think he's better than that boy from the Huo family! "
