Chapter 172 Departure, Wanhua County
From Tang Yanxiu's first sentence, his uncle had a serious face.

At this moment, seeing that he seemed to be hesitating, he hurriedly asked, "Yan Xiu, don't be afraid, just say what you have to say."

Tang Yanxiu was not afraid at all, but considering his current age, he still gave his uncle a grateful look before slowly saying: "I didn't deliberately calculate the dream of my uncle and cousin Yu. Time, until yesterday's dream, suddenly reacted."

After a pause, Tang Yanxiu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling, and said: "My uncle questioned me in my dream, asking me why I didn't ask someone to pick him up. He also said that no one came on the first seven days, and on the second seven March [-]th still no one came, and after July [-]th, he began to despair. He thought that someone would come to pick him up during the Chinese New Year, but the one who greeted him was still empty and happy. He also said that no matter what, his Hundred Days We must see our family members when the time comes, otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?"

Seeing the eagerness on his uncle's face, Tang Yanxiu felt very uncomfortable.

According to his original intention, he didn't want to deceive his uncle who regarded him as his own.But after all...

Sighing silently in his heart, Tang Yanxiu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, he will die with peace in his eyes, and will never reincarnate."

Tang Yanxiu slowly opened his eyes as he heard the sound of his uncle sitting slumped on a chair, feeling guilty.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he was able to convince his uncle with such a clumsy lie was because his uncle trusted him very much.Of course, people in this era are superstitious for a certain reason, but if this matter is placed on others, they will have doubts, and only uncle...

"Yan Xiu, apart from telling me, have you mentioned this matter to others?"

It seemed like a long time before the uncle opened his mouth slowly.

Tang Yanxiu shook her head hastily: "No, I don't dare to tell others. Even the maid who serves me personally knows that I can't sleep well at night. Don't worry, uncle, I can keep it a secret."

"Okay, good boy." The uncle let out a long breath, and made a decision in a moment, "Before you find your uncle, don't tell your grandfather, lest he be sad twice. I thought about it, Just after the New Year's Eve, it's not a good time to go out, but this matter can't be delayed. According to what you said, your uncle had an accident the day after the winter solstice, so it will be a hundred days in more than a month, we must hurry up!"

"Yes." Tang Yanxiu murmured, regretting that the time was set too close.

You must know that this is not his previous life, and it only takes one day to fly from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere.In this day and age, from Luyang County to Wanhua County, even by water, it may take more than a month.Anyway, in the remaining time, it is absolutely impossible to go back and forth.

"I can't leave, even if the family affairs can be entrusted to others, but I have no excuse to leave. That's what I think, Yan Xiu, listen to me, and tell me your opinion later. I want your big cousin and The second cousin will go there together, and at the same time, you will go too. Is that okay?"

"I?"

These words really shocked Tang Yanxiu.

It is true that Tang Yanxiu knew that his ability was absolutely no less than the two cousins ​​born by his uncle, but the problem was that others didn't know it!After all, his biological age is enough to overshadow all his talents.

No one would believe that an 11-year-old boy is capable of doing great things.

"Yes, you went there too. In fact, I will talk to your two cousins ​​about other things, so you don't have to worry about it. The reason you go with me is that I need a perfect excuse. Do you understand?"

"Uncle intends to go to Wanhua County in my name, and then you sent two cousins ​​to accompany you because you were worried, is that true?"

"That's right. Otherwise, I can't find an excuse to drive people to Wanhua County. You have to understand that Wanhua County is the property of the Hua family. Although the Hua family is generally inferior to our Duan family, the Duan family never interferes." Business in the south. Now, you are the only one to take the lead."

"What is the specific reason?"

"You are in the trade of rare ingredients. Wanhua County belongs to the south and is the most famous water city and flower city. I don't know what method you use to keep those rare ingredients fresh, but if you have a way to If some special products from Wanhua County are brought back, I am willing to pay fifty times the high price to buy them."

Tang Yanxiu's pupils shrank.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the uncle's words had just been thought of or had been planned earlier.

Back then, when he first arrived in Luyang County, in order to establish a relationship with the Duan family, he did sell a batch of rare ingredients.Maybe those ingredients are not the most expensive, but they have the highest requirements for freshness.At that time, he almost sold part of it at a very low price, and because of this, he finally got to know the Duan family.

Later, he also invested in some business in Luyang County, but it had nothing to do with ingredients.And the Duan family never brought up any topic about ingredients.

I thought that no one would bring up this topic, but I never thought that my uncle has always remembered it.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yanxiu quickly made a decision.

"Uncle, I have been living in the north, and I don't know much about the situation in the south. If possible, can you make a list for me? As for the method of keeping ingredients fresh, I do know a thing or two. However, this is the What an expert taught me, I promised not to pass it on to others, and not to use it to do things that harm nature and reason.”

Hearing Tang Yanxiu's remarks, the uncle gave him a very serious look.

"Yan Xiu, everyone has their own secrets. I have no intention of prying into your secrets. I only hope that you can cooperate with the Duan family for a long time in the future. As for the ingredients, don't worry, I will send someone to send you a detailed copy later. In fact, those so-called rare ingredients are compared to other places, if you come to Wanhua County, it is not difficult to buy them, at most it is just bullying you as a foreigner and asking you to spend more money."

"Okay, then it's settled, I'll go back and pack my things. By the way, do I need to explain the reason to my grandfather?"

The uncle was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "No, I'll just say it's your old friend visiting. Because time is tight, I won't say goodbye. Anyway, you will come back."

Knowing that my uncle was worried that it would be bad if he accidentally leaked the details in front of his grandfather when he was young, Tang Yanxiu did not object.

"Go and pack your things first, and I will send the carriage to pick you up at your door later."

Tang Yanxiu agreed immediately.

He didn't need to do anything to pack things, he casually called a few servant girls to help pack a small box, and he waited at the door.After a while, the Duan family's carriage came, and the box was carried by a boy, so he jumped into the carriage.

In the carriage were the two eldest cousins ​​from my uncle.

In fact, he is said to be a cousin, but in terms of age, it seems to be two generations old.

Tang Yanxiu's uncle is the eldest son of his maternal grandfather. His grandfather is already 53 years old, and his uncle is also [-] years old.This is because none of the children before the uncle survived, otherwise, judging from the situation that the ancients got married in their teens, it is possible to be older.

As for the two cousins, the eldest cousin Duan Xun is in his 30s this year, and the second cousin Duan Min is also in his [-]s. Fortunately, Tang Yanxiu's mental age is almost [-] years old, so there is no psychological barrier to calling him a cousin.

"Yan Xiu, what happened? My father didn't explain it to us in detail. He only said that he would understand after hearing what you said. By the way, this is for you, and it was my father who told us."

The one who spoke was the second cousin Duan Min, who has always been eloquent.On the contrary, the big cousin Duan Xun is very steady, but not talkative.

Tang Yanxiu took a small box handed over by his second cousin, but didn't open it to take a closer look. Anyway, he must be going by water later, and he will have at least a month to study it slowly when he arrives on the boat. He is not in a hurry at all.

"It's my uncle's business."

Not sure how much he should say, Tang Yanxiu hesitated.

To be honest, he really didn't want to say such a clumsy and childish excuse of Tuomeng again.He deeply believed that uncle would believe what he said, purely because he believed in himself.And although he knew these two cousins, he was really not familiar with them.

The feeling of being despised as soon as you say it is really helpless.

The second cousin was the one who spoke. At first he was just suspicious, but now Monk Zhang Er was really confused: "Your uncle? Thirteenth uncle? What's wrong with him?"

The Duan family was prosperous, and even though the family rules stipulated that only three years of age could be included in the genealogy ranking, when it came to my uncle, it was already thirteen.Of course, there were not 13 real surviving men of the Duan family's generation.After all, many people died after the age of three.

"My uncle...I'm afraid something happened, and there is Cousin Yu."

"Yan Xiu, what do you mean by accident? Give me an accurate answer." This time, it was the eldest cousin who spoke, his brows were frowned, and he vaguely guessed something.

The Duan family is an aristocratic family, although the business family does not have as many rules as the official family, but there is still no reason for the heirs of the concubine to help deal with the aftermath carefully.The reverse is more or less the case.

Besides, what Tang Yanxiu's uncle did in Wanhua County was no secret at all in the Duan family.Even if you really encounter some troubles, wouldn't it be enough to ask the Hua family for help?The three major charity merchants in this dynasty are all like-minded, and they communicate frequently. It is no problem to ask for a favor once in a while.

Unless it's something that Huajia can't help.

"Uncle is gone, so is Cousin Yu. It happened after the winter solstice. Uncle hopes that we will come forward to help host the Hundred Days. We can't let Uncle and Cousin Yu go on the road without relatives to send them off like this!"

After thinking for a long time, Tang Yanxiu finally gritted his teeth and told the truth.

When I looked up again, the two cousins ​​who had reached their thirties both had expressions of disbelief and complete bewilderment.
