Shu Blossoms

Chapter 492: Secretly Observing
Xiao Yucheng once again lamented Zhai You's keenness, and even felt that he had already noticed himself at that moment just now.

Later, Xiao Yucheng followed them quietly, and met his other two people. Although their personalities were different, they didn't look like the kind of deep-minded and cunning people.

He was relieved but also a little curious why Zhai You didn't call that Meng Zi.

Xiao Yucheng took another look and saw that Zhai You shared the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with the other two, and they quickly opened it excitedly. That He Sheng took a bite carefully just like Big Ya, and the other Liang Zi ate a piece in big gulps. Just eat this piece and wrap it up.

Xiao Yucheng didn't expect that just a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes gave him a general understanding of the temperament of these children, knowing that they were all simple and kind-hearted children, he liked Zhai You even more.

He also had a plan in his heart, no matter what he did or not, as long as he didn't violate the prohibition, he would take him back and train him properly, and he would definitely be able to do something in the future.

After they finished discussing, the four of them parted happily, and made an appointment to meet at Daya's house tomorrow, and left in three steps at a time.It can be seen that they are very interested in tomorrow's affairs. After all, they can earn money by running errands, which is a lucky thing for them.

When Xiao Yucheng was rushing about for tomorrow's affairs, Zheng Heng reluctantly went to the restaurant to buy all the mustard pancakes in the store, and ordered some cooked meat.When I left the city like this, I was interrogated for a long time.

Zheng Heng took out the letter on his body and explained: "I want to rush back to my hometown, and the road is far away to spend money. I plan to bring more food. I can find a place to nest at night, and I can save some money."

The next day, Zhai You came to Shiye alone to ask Xiao Yucheng for money, and then ran outside Zhu Daya's house, distributed the money to them, and told them: "Go to the street corner when you buy food, and I will wait for you there. Whoever buys it The more food you get, the more you pay. But you have to be smart and take a few detours to avoid being watched. The three rice shops in the Jia family must be the last to go. If you find something is wrong, it is important to protect yourself.”

Then several teenagers ran non-stop in Hongdu City, bought food and hid it on the cart borrowed by Zhai You, with thick thatch stacked on it

This thatch was begged for the couch two days ago, and it just came in handy today.

While the four teenagers were running around, Ma Xingyun drove Yin Shi out of Hongdu in a carriage and headed north.

Xiao Yucheng stood in front of the window lattice of the posthouse cell, thinking that Xiulizhuang's carriage would also leave at this time.

Yesterday he asked for that piece of jade from Zheng Heng, and went to Xiulizhuang at night.

Yuan Wang is not here, Zheng Cong, brother of Zheng Heng's family, has been in charge since last year. He has been studying business with Yuan Wang since last year. At first, the clan uncle Zheng Yue came to ask Zheng Ye to find a job for his son in Jiankang, but Zheng Cong has a wild temper and doesn't like working in the capital. A pawn, preferring to run around.

Zheng Cong personally ran to Zheng Wei, begging her to learn business.After thinking about it, Zheng Wei let him go to Yuan Wang's side. After a year of experience, this time when Xiulizhuang in Hongdu was on the right track, Zheng Cong took care of it.

When Zheng Cong saw Xiao Yucheng, he enthusiastically led him to the backyard, but the piece of jade didn't come in handy.

"General Xiao, why did you come to Hongdu?" Zheng Cong admired Xiao Yucheng very much. A few years ago, he followed Zheng Heng and wanted to sneak away to join the army, but he was not as lucky as Zheng Heng. break his leg.

His mother cried and begged him. He was the only son in the family. If something happened to him, he had no choice but to throw himself into the well.

That year, the Great Zhou Northern Expedition had just been defeated, Gaoping Jinxiang was occupied by the Great Wei, and many common people and children of Jinxiang were slaughtered. I am afraid that they will rush to join the army to kill the enemy on impulse.

There are not many people in the Zheng family, and the heirs are even more precious, so there is no room for loss.Because of Zheng Heng's joining the army, the old patriarch would complain to Zheng Shao every time he saw him.

Therefore, Zheng Cong failed to join the army, he did not expect to see Xiao Yucheng in Hongdu today, he was both excited and cautious, he was busy serving tea and water for Xiao Yucheng, but he dared not sit down.

Seeing this, Xiao Yucheng said straight to the point: "I have something to ask for today, I wonder if uncle can sit down and listen to me speak slowly."

Zheng Cong heard Xiao Yucheng call his brother-in-law, and after being surprised, he got closer, and then he sat down firmly, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse, Xiao Sister-in-law, but it doesn't matter!"

"This matter is related to Zheng Heng, and I hope my uncle will keep it a secret!" Zheng Cong was even more surprised when he heard this, "Ah Heng also came to Hongdu?"

Xiao Yucheng was puzzled: "He came here a few days ago, you don't know?"

Zheng Cong said regretfully: "I've been buying gray cloth everywhere these days, and I'm not in the village at all. Yesterday, Yuan Wang suddenly wanted to leave the city and said that the gray cloth would not come in first, so he stayed with me."

Xiao Yucheng nodded, he was just planning to borrow someone to borrow a car, but when he saw Zheng Cong changed his mind temporarily, he said, "I need to transport a batch of grain out of the city, and now Hongdu City is watching closely, we don't have enough manpower, so we can only come to you help!"

Zheng Cong groaned for a moment and said, "Nowadays, salt, grain and iron cloth are strictly guarded in the city. If you want to transport them out of the city without anyone noticing, you have to find a way."

The two discussed for a night before they came up with today's solution.

Zheng Cong personally escorted the cart and took his servants to the Sericulture Workshop where Zhai You was.

When he heard Xiao Yucheng say that the food was put in Zhinufang, he immediately thought of this idea.

Every household in the sericulture workshop makes a living by raising silkworms and weaving cloth, and almost every family will save a few bolts of plain brocade to meet their urgent needs.And they happened to be the owners of an embroidery shop, so it was reasonable and reasonable to go where to buy Sujin, and it was not easy to attract suspicion.

Zheng Cong asked his servants to knock on the door from door to door, and he himself went to the alley where Zhai You's house was located according to the location Xiao Yucheng said, and knocked on the door of the first house.

After some inquiries, they paid the money and carefully placed a piece of brocade on the cart and covered it. It was like this. They didn't go to Zhai You's house until the afternoon, knocked on the door of Zhai's house, and happened to meet Zhai You. Come back by pulling the cart.

"Little brother, do you still have brocade at home? I can give you a good price!" Zheng Cong said with a smile.

Zhai You glanced at him vigilantly, Zheng Cong unhurriedly brought out something and handed it to him, Zhai Youcai said: "Come in!"

After finishing speaking, he was struggling to push the cart to enter the door. Seeing this, Zheng Cong hurried up to help, and the two of them entered the door together.

Zhai You first yelled, "Aniang, I'm the one who's back!"

A frail woman's voice came from the room, "Ayou, you ran away early in the morning, are you hungry, Auntie will get you some food!"

"No need, Mommy, I've got some things to do and I'll cook for you."

Zhai You replied, and there was no movement in the room, and then Zhai You looked at Zheng Cong, "Are you here to get something?"

"Have you finished shopping?" Zheng Cong asked in a low voice.

"There are the last three rice shops!" Zhai You shook his head.

"How long will it take?" Zheng Cong was thinking about the time. He couldn't stay here all the time, and it would easily arouse suspicion.

"At least one hour!" Zhai You said, the last three rice shops are actually the same owner, and the guys often run back and forth, he is afraid of missing the point, so he plans to go to only one of them, not all of them.
