You are back

Chapter 33 Chaos
Zhou Rui wondered what Chen Yanfeng meant, and said with a smile to the shopkeeper: "We brothers and sisters just bought a car for use, and when we get home..." Zhou Rui glanced at the cart and mules with a look of disgust, "No matter what It doesn’t work either, and it’s not very good.”

"What this man said is very true." The shopkeeper said flatteringly first, "I can't do business because of something at home. The cattle, horses, mules, and cars in this yard are half sold and half given away. These few days You can pick a big green walking mule at will, 60 taels of silver each, and I will send you a cart, and you can pick those carts as you like."

Zhou Rui was stunned, Chen Yanfeng also raised his brows in surprise, only Li Yan looked calm, she didn't understand the price, she didn't understand the price of the 60 taels a delivery car.

"What happened at home? Want to sell it so cheaply?" Chen Yanfeng couldn't help asking.

The shopkeeper's face was so bitter that he could squeeze out a bowl of coptis juice, "It's okay. I'm getting old and want to change places. You two, although these two horses are gentler in teeth, look at their bodies and coats. , originally for the nobles of Yangzhou, if you two want it, 200 taels of silver and two horses! I will give you another car, or two cars will do."

"Have you ever received business under the Crown Prince?" Zhou Rui suddenly asked.

The shopkeeper's expression changed, he stared at Zhou Rui, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"We came from Yichun. When we were in Yichun, we saw a few shops like you that were anxious to sell their pallets and move away." Zhou Rui explained hastily.

The shopkeeper obviously breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your praise. The younger one is hundreds of levels behind the Crown Prince. How can he have the face to lead business under the Crown Prince? The younger one is in the Han Mansion. In the past few years under your rule, I have made several missions and led several missions to deliver mules and horses to Yangzhou. Mr. Han Fu..."

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh, with a bit of a lump in his throat, "I have committed a crime, which is said to be a crime that can lead to beheading. I am a little timid, but really... Well, this business is doing well, but you can't risk your life for money. Hurry up and sell these goods before the imperial envoy comes. Otherwise, if... this head falls off, it will never grow back."

"You are very practical." Chen Yanfeng glanced at Zhou Rui, "Just these two horses and mules, you go pick the cart." Chen Yanfeng turned back to talk to Li Yan, and Li Yan agreed and went to pick the cart with Yushu.

"You two gentlemen, why don't you buy these two horses? You see how energetic these two horses are. Let's take them together. You can just pay 170 taels of silver..." The shopkeeper tried his best to promote his two horses, which were indeed quite good.

"The horses are too ostentatious." Chen Yanfeng looked at the two mules he had chosen and replied. The shopkeeper's expression froze, and then he sighed repeatedly, "This man... alas, no, in these troubled times, alas. 120 "Two, thank you two gentlemen. I don't dare to use these big green mules, for fear of attracting the attention of thieves. Alas, this is the way of the world."

After Li Yan picked up the cart, the shopkeeper called two guys over, brought a few buckets of water, washed it inside and out several times, put on the mule and came out, then went to a cloth shop to change the curtains, bought mattresses, etc. , packed up properly, a few people didn’t even have a good meal, so they drove out of Liuting Town and headed north along the official road.

There were two walking mules, Chen Yanfeng rode one, the other was harnessed to the cart, Zhou Rui was driving the cart, Li Yan was wrapped thickly, holding the big copper hand stove he just bought, sitting next to Zhou Rui, basking in the sun, While talking to Zhou Rui and Chen Yanfeng, Yushu was busy tidying up in the carriage.

"Why do you ask the shopkeeper whether he takes business under Shizi?" Li Yan wanted to ask this question ever since he heard Zhou Rui's question.

"He said that those two horses were prepared for the nobles in Yangzhou, and they are no longer needed. Of the nobles in Yangzhou, only the eldest son and the fourth master left Yangzhou for the capital. This is one, and the other is that Liuting Town belongs to Peng Ze. Ze's Han Fuzun came from Shizi's family, and Shizi went north... alas." Zhou Rui sighed lowly.

"This shopkeeper is very wise." Li Yan changed the topic dryly, thinking about the situation in the yard in Yichun.

"Yes. My eldest brother has long advised my father." Zhou Rui's voice was low, "He said that the current situation is chaotic and it is best to just stay contented. My father couldn't listen and always wanted to go further. He always said that if my grandfather was alive, It’s not too much to grant the Zhou family the throne.”

Chen Yanfeng sneered.Li Yan ignored him, Zhou Rui glanced at him, lowered his head and did not speak.

"About your family, I heard from Chen Yanfeng that the merits are so great that most of them will not survive." Li Yan continued what he said just now, and Zhou Rui hummed, "Brother also said that grandfather and uncle His death... dying on the battlefield is always better than being punished by the Manchus for committing something in the future. Dad is very stubborn. When Mr. Chen delivered the letter to the house, I was there. Dad said it was okay, and the eldest brother was bleeding .”

"It's a pity for your elder brother." Chen Yanfeng answered, "What are your plans in the future? Take revenge?"

"Who is the enemy?" Zhou Rui looked at Chen Yanfeng and asked, Chen Yanfeng spread his hands, "Whoever you think is whoever you are."

Li Yan looked at Chen Yanfeng, then at Zhou Rui, then at Chen Yanfeng, "Didn't it mean that it was an edict issued by the imperial court, and the enemy is in the imperial court?"

"There is a saying that thunder, rain and dew are all blessings. Have you heard of it?" Chen Yanfeng chuckled twice.

"There must be a reason. Even the emperor cannot kill people for no reason. If he kills someone's whole family for no reason, then seek revenge from him." This was the first time Li Yan heard these words of Thunder and Rain, but she But I don’t agree.

"My dad has always thought highly of himself, and he often tells people about his grandfather. Every year on his grandfather's birthday and death day, in addition to offering sacrifices at home, he also asks people to write articles..."

"Seek death!" Chen Yanfeng squeezed out two words from between his teeth. Zhou Rui stopped talking. Li Yan sighed. This is indeed a bit of a death wish.

"Didn't you say that your father was raised by the Queen Mother herself? I heard that the Queen Mother was wise, Chen Yanfeng said." Li Yan was a little puzzled. Normally, with the genes of the Zhou family, plus the fact that even Chen Yanfeng said he was wise The Empress Dowager Sun personally raised her, logically speaking, she shouldn't be so stupid.

Zhou Rui didn't answer Li Yan's words, Chen Yanfeng laughed, "If people are stupid, no one can teach them. Besides, Empress Dowager Sun...that's a really smart person." Chen Yanfeng said meaningfully, and immediately changed the topic, "Hurry up, or you'll have to sleep out tonight."

As Chen Yanfeng spoke, he slapped the mule on the butt. Zhou Rui also hurriedly shook the reins and urged the mule to start trotting.

　I went to Australia with my classmates a while ago, and I had nothing to do when they were inspecting the business. They arranged food, drinks, accommodation and transportation all the way. But as soon as I got home, they were full of life and went to work. I lay down with a bang, and my eyes were filled with tears from a month ago. I had an operation and it was so painful that I couldn’t open my eyes... I’m finally feeling better today...

　　The human body is indeed the foundation of everything.
