Chapter 104 Half

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Shi avoided the servants of the Lin family who followed him today. Riding back to Pingzhou quickly. On the way, he was reluctant to eat and sleep. He just rushed back as soon as possible to find the iron manager to raise food and Lin Jinyin to raise money.

After breakfast, Tao Shunqin asked Tao Fengtang to prepare to buy grain, and he himself went to inquire about the incense in person. He wandered around the shops all over the field and confirmed the news. When he got out of the field, he was about to go back. He inadvertently turned around and saw Lu Yan standing on the street from afar, staring at a big Rong man coming over.

The Darong man was fat and tall, with curly hair, wearing a gold-weaved sweater, followed by several attendants, pulling five or six ostors, and his body was full of goods. The fragrance was splashing. At a glance, he knew at a dealer who sold a large amount of incense. The direction to go is the scene.

Lu Yan seemed to want to take two steps forward, but he was pulled by Changshou to death. His face was full of perseverance, and his longevity was full of pleading. The master and servant pulled the saw back and forth and couldn't be grasped clearly. Tao Shunqin's heart moved, walked around from behind, and gently patted Lu Yan on the shoulder: "Is this your nephew?"

Changshou withdrew his hand as if he had been burned by fire, bowed his head and avoided. Lu Yanyu's white face quickly burst into a thin layer of red, and he lowered his eyelashes to salute. When the ceremony was over, his expression had returned to normal: "I want to inquire about the situation on Darong's side with ."

Looking at the appearance of his broken holy boat, I'm afraid he wants to talk to the Darong guest and work in private, right? Tao Shunqin didn't break it. He smiled and said, "At noon, I think my nephew hasn't eaten yet. There is a shop selling tung skin noodles and three meat patties in front of him. You and I will go to fill your stomach. If you want to know anything, you can ask me."

Lu Yan's eyes showed a little uncomsipation and anxiety. Seeing that the big Rongxiang drug dealer entered the field, he couldn't help biting his lips and looking up at Tao Shunqin several times, but he couldn't say anything to refuse.

Tao Shunqin only didn't see it, so he led the way forward. After a few steps, he saw Lu Yan following up listlessly with his eyes down. His boy named Longevity was full of happiness.

When the two of them sat down, Tao Shunqin asked the shopkeeper for four bowls of Tongpi noodles, two catties and three meat cakes, and half of them were given to the long-term attendants to eat. He took Lu Yan to sit by the window to eat and drink. Tao Shunqin's diet is good. He ate noodles and cakes. He ate sweetly, but Lu Yan was much more elegant. For a long time, he only half of his bowl of noodles went down.

Tao Shunqin had seen that he couldn't eat enough of his food. Fang smiled and said, "I don't know why my virtuous nephew is looking for that great businessman? What do you want to ask? I also know a lot of great honor merchants. "I know more or less about their customs. Let's talk about it, I'll solve your puzzle."

Lu Yan knew that he had seen through it, so he smiled faintly: "I want to find out where there is a cheap incense.

I know that it's not stupid to run outside the field to block people, but I'm still stupid. Tao Shunqin stroked his beard and shook his head gently: "You are too reckless. Like you, not only can't ask anything, but also be careful of being deceived or causing trouble. You are a famous person and have a rich family. Why do you take such a risk for the sake of money? Lu Yan was silent and said for a long time, "To tell you the truth," Xiao Meng was in urgent need of a large amount of money. If you are willing to help, your little nephew will never forget it for the rest of his life, and he will definitely repay you in the future.

In this case, Tao Shunqin has heard too much in his life. It's just that everyone will explain how difficult, how difficult, and how pitiful they are before opening their mouths. There are very few people like Lu Yan. "I don't say the reason, don't complain." I just said bluntly It helped me, and I promise you won't regret it.

Tao Shunqin looked at Lu Yan sideways. Seeing that his eyes were clear and he did not shy away, he looked directly at himself calmly. He seemed to be fearless and confident, but in fact, there was timidity and desire inside. This child is very afraid of being rejected... At this time, his desire for money is very similar to Lin Jinrong. Tao Shunqin had a sense of intimacy and suddenly smiled: "How much money do you have?"

A little light slowly ignited from the depths of Lu Yan's dark eyes, getting brighter and brighter. His lips trembled slightly, and his voice was a little unstable: "I have a hundred taels of gold. Not much, but you can make a little money.

"Ha..." Tao Shunqin smiled again, a hundred taels of gold, but took twenty taels to buy a gift. The child was really a big-minded person. He is not a cruel person, so he can't refuse the child. He said calmly, "Feng Tang also told me yesterday that you want to buy and sell food. If I don't meet you, I will also ask someone to discuss this matter. Since it's a statement, if you believe me, give me the money and do my best to make this money

Lu Yan's face finally showed some smiles that matched his actual age. He got up and said to Tao Shunqin: "Thank you, Uncle Tao. In the future..." Tao Shunqin raised his hand and whispered, "Don't thank me. I can't make all the money alone. The favor is done by each other. Who doesn't have a difficulty? If it's convenient for you in the future, remember to watch Gu Xiao Laoqi for me. I will be very grateful.

Lu Yan was stunned and bowed respectfully to Tao Shunqin.

Not everyone has the luck of Lin Jinrong's sister and brother to meet such a kind, capable, bold and considerate uncle. Uncle Lin, Lu Yan laughed at himself,

They were just like Master Lin San. They guarded him against thieves and scolded him without mercy: As for his mother's uncle, he sighed gently, and his children had to find out their sister who had been married for many years to find a way to cry.

Near the city wall in the west of the city, across the street is an ordinary private house. The courtyard wall is low, and the houses are rarely tall. It is rare to be clean. The not-wide bluestone road is washed clean by clear water. Walking along the alley, you can see one or two pots of yellow pots that are blooming brilliantly White and red chrysanthemum huā, huā is the most ordinary and worthless variety, but at this time, it looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

Tao Shunqin, who has always been used to being busy, walks with Lu Yan in this quiet alley, which is quite refreshing and leisurely. In the depths of the alley is the Gu family's house, which is quite different from the surrounding houses. First of all, no huāhuā grass can be seen on the wall of his house: second The painted door was tightly closed; once again, the steps paved with bluestone were so clean that they shimmered.

Just standing at the door, you can feel the smell of strangers emanating from the master.

Tao Shunqin remembered what Lu Yan said... clean and comfortable, clean and tidy" has a little to laugh. The Gu family was also a student earlier, but the Gu family's wife was unlucky. She lost her husband when she was young. She relied on a strong cavity and outstanding embroidery work to support the door independently. She worked hard to raise her two sons. The eldest son was forced to make a living and lost his way to study and made a living for the family. Because of : The youngest son came out of the famous bookworm. When he was a child, he picked up a piece of paper with words and would not let it go. If he saw others reading, he would stand aside and read it. If you promised to borrow books with him, it would not be too much for him to call your ancestors.

How could Lu Yan know such a person and make friends? Tao Shunqin saw that Lu Yan was knocking on the door, and his slightly thin back was a little thoughtful.

It took a long time for the door to open. A pale young man in his twenties held the book in one hand, lowered his head, his eyes almost stuck to the book, pressed the door with the other hand to support the door, and didn't even look at anyone: "Who are you looking for?"

This is too committed. Tao Shunqin couldn't help sighing secretly. Lu Yan smiled and said, "Brother Gu, it's me."

The young man just raised his head and stared at him for a long time: "Are you back? My mother left you a meal under the stove. Then he narrowed his eyes again and craned his neck to see Tao Shunqin.

Gu Shu is almost blind when reading, isn't he? Tao Shunqin had an impulse and wanted to stretch out two fingers to open his upper and lower eyelids for him. He finally suppressed his laughter and said, "Brother Gu, do you remember me?"

Gu Shu's infatuated name is Gu Jiande. In the past, when the Aunt Gu family worked for the Tao family, she had been to the Tao family. Naturally, she also knew Tao Shunqin. After hearing this call, she didn't think so. She squinted her eyes and smiled and saluted, "It turned out Suddenly, when he remembered something, his face changed. He subconsciously hid the book in his hand behind him and looked at Lu Yan with dissatisfaction: "Brother Lu, you..."

Lu Yan knew what he was worried about and said with a quick smile, "Don't worry, I'm just here to get something and live here."

Gu Shuqi was relieved and casually ordered longevity: "You boil water to greet the guests for your master, and I still have to read..." Without saying a word, he held the book and walked into the room.

Lu Yan and Tao Shunqin looked at each other and smiled. Tao Shunqin pointed to Gu Shuqi: "How can you recognize him?"

Lu Yan was slightly embarrassed: "He also went to Taiming Mansion to take the exam. His eyes were not good, he was teased, and someone relied on him to steal books..." There is no need to explain it in detail to understand what was going on. Tao Biqin nodded and walked into Lu Yan's room and looked around. However, it's just a narrow bed, a table, a lamp, and a stool. The furniture has not been painted, but it has been scrubbed clean. There are two cages against the wall. The cages are exquisite. I think it's Lu Yan's luggage. Sure enough, it is clean and tidy, but not necessarily comfortable.

Lu Yan did not avoid him. He opened the cage and took out a bag and presented it with both hands: "Do you want to test it?"

Tao Shunqin looked at him with a smile: "Do you want to write a receipt with you?" Lu Yan blushed and shook his head gently: "How can you look up to me for a hundred taels of gold?"

Tao Shunqin laughed and swung his chin out: "Let's go, take it to my house."

After leaving Gu's family, Tao Shunqin said, "Two businesses, grain and incense, grain is stable and profitable, but incense is to take risks, but this profit is greater. Do you want to do half of each, or just make food? Lu Yan remembered that Lin Jinrong was the first thing to say was the incense. What he was in a hurry to buy was also the incense, so he said with certainty, "Do half of each."
