"How much does this cost?" came an exclamation from the drug store, causing passers-by to look sideways. However, when they saw the bulky guards inside, they quickly lowered their heads and left quickly.
A thin streak of white sweat broke out on the forehead of the drugstore shopkeeper. He held the bill over with trembling hands and spoke with a cry in his tone: "A total of 150 bills and 45 coins... Sir, please don't glare at me." , old man is timid! This is really the lowest price for you! This is the price that the villain purchased from Hu Shang. If nothing else is said, you can’t find anything cheaper than this even if you travel all over Chang’an. ! How about, you see, I wiped out the change for you?"
Xiao Han frowned and looked at the shopkeeper who was trying to please the prime minister: "Wipe out the change? That's okay! Xiaodong, give me the money, 15 strings and 45 coins!"
"ah?"
At this time, not only the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, but Li Shentong and Xue Pan both hid their faces and couldn't bear to watch anymore! They said it would be a zero, but you just gave them a zero. Even the robbers would do this! So cruel!
Li Shentong covered his face and poked Xiao Han's waist from behind: "Brother Xiao, this thing is so expensive! He is not a lion, so stop teasing him!"
The Li family is also a wealthy family that has been engaged in food for several generations. The family also used to support caravans traveling to the Western Regions. They are quite familiar with spices, gems and the like. To be fair, the shopkeeper's quotation is really not high. If According to Xiao Han's price, the shopkeeper will have to hang himself today!
"Ahem..." Xiao Han coughed and looked at the cloth bag that he picked up with just one finger on his hand. He didn't associate this thing with the ten cows!
Just this money, converted into the currency of future generations, is enough to buy an entire spice shop! Just buy this little stuff here?
Xiao Han didn't react to the huge price difference for a while, but he also knew that Li Shentong wouldn't lie to him about it. If this guy said it was worth it, then it was really worth that much! It seems that my values really need to be re-evaluated!
"I know, how could I not know? Isn't this a joke on the shopkeeper!" Xiao Han said pretending to be generous!
Tears almost fell from the shopkeeper's face, and he raised his hands to Xiao Han repeatedly: "Dear guest, please don't joke, the old man is old and cannot stand being scared..."
"Okay, Xiaodong, pay the money! Shopkeeper, you can collect the gold and silver here!"
"Take it, take this!" As soon as he heard the payment, the shopkeeper, who looked like he was about to die here, immediately became energetic again, as if he had taken the Nine-Transmutation Soul-Reviving Pill, he nodded and pointed at the counter, "We have Tonghui here. , distinguished guest, you can use gold and silver as credit!"
Xiao Han nodded, and rather distressedly took out the gold leaves from his arms. These were specially brought with him before leaving. He didn't expect to use them, but he almost spent all the money on buying some pepper and aniseed! Damn Beard, if you dare to do this business, next year I won’t use glass to deceive you to death, my surname will not be Xiao!
After carrying a cloth bag out of the door, Xiao Han touched a large piece of his wallet again, and most of his good mood was gone. However, seeing that Xue Pan still seemed to be unsatisfied, he could only cheer up and continue shopping. .
"Money is like a bastard. We can make more after spending it! But...this money is so worthless. I have been cheated..." Xiao Han looked up to the sky and sighed. Xiao Han looked at Xiaodong's sympathetic eyes. , quickly caught up with Li Shentong and Xue Pan who were watching the noodle maker in front.
The sunset on the horizon was dyed red by the setting sun, and the drumming of Jingjie echoed over Chang'an. Xiao Han, who had been shopping all afternoon, hurried out of Chang'an City before the gate was closed.
In front of us is the way home under the setting sun. Behind him was the afternoon's spoils.
The several carts brought this time were all filled with goods, and they were piled high, just like grain hoards.
The accompanying guards each held a long sugar cane and were munching on it as they walked! The winding road is filled with laughter.
Xue Pan and Xiao Ai have already gone home, and they don't know when they will meet again. Lovers always think about being together all day long, and a short separation will make people infinitely sad.
When the convoy passed Xiao Lizi's military camp, Xiao Han deliberately raised his head and took a closer look. He didn't see Liu Hongji. Only a few scouts came over to check their waistbands before letting them pass. At this time, if he didn't have his waistbands, Will be arrested as a spy.
The hundred-mile journey originally only took more than half an hour, but because it was loaded with loot, it took a full two hours before we saw the memorial archway of Xiaojiazhuangzi.
Butler Lu was dozing off against the archway with his hands folded. He heard the sound of scattered horse hooves and suddenly woke up. When he saw the Marquis's carriage with a torch, he finally felt relieved, stood up and stretched, and stopped by. Jian Pu, who was so sleepy that he was sweating, was kicked.
"Lazy people! Get out of here, Lord Marquis is back! Go and unload the truck! Let me tell you, whoever wants to be lazy, this year's...year-end bonus? No one will get it!"
"Hehe, okay!" The kicked servant grinned, moved his body, and hurried forward to meet him.
They all knew that the Marquis went out this time to buy them New Year's goods! Although we came back later, we can't go to bed without conscience!
When the cart stopped at the entrance of Zhuangzi, there was no need to go forward. People who had been waiting for a long time in Zhuangzi rushed forward and quickly moved the things on the cart into an empty room. If they were left outside, frost would be bad. .
A large group of people were lighting torches and moving things. From time to time, someone shouted something like "be careful", which made Butler Lu laugh and curse a few more times. Then he squinted his eyes and walked to Xiao Han's carriage in front. beside.
Just as he was about to open the curtain and say hello to Mr. Hou, Xiao Han jumped out of the car first and made a shushing gesture towards him.
"Don't be loud, the kid inside is asleep!"
"That kid inside?" Butler Lu was surprised. He quickly looked inside and saw that Li Shentong, who had been talking all day long, was fast asleep in the warm carriage!
"Eh? Li Shentong? Why did he fall asleep in your car, Lord Marquis?" Butler Lu asked in surprise. He remembered that sometimes he didn't take this kid with him!
Xiao Han was tired from the car ride all the way, and this kid was too dishonest when sleeping. It was just like drunken boxing. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would definitely hit him! If he wasn't absolutely sure that this kid was sleeping like this, Xiao Han would have kicked him out of the car!
"Hey, don't mention it. I picked up such a burden along the way. Butler, let's see if we send him back or let him sleep for one night!"
"Haha, Lord Marquis, according to my servant, it's not safe to send him back this late at night. Why don't you let him sleep for one night and send him back tomorrow?" Butler Lu stroked his beard and replied with a smile, talking to Li He is happy to hear that his family has a good relationship. After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! And this neighbor is quite powerful!
"Okay!" Xiao Han waved his hand casually. He just wanted to go back to the warm bed quickly and fall asleep under the quilt. He might as well wait until tomorrow to talk about anything else!
Just as he was about to lift his leg to leave, Xiao Han remembered something and pulled his leg back: "By the way, I wonder if his family will be anxious if this kid doesn't go home at night! If he causes people to look for him everywhere, this But it’s not good!”
Butler Lu smiled and shook his head: "Master Hou, you are worrying too much. I will find a young man with good riding skills later and ask him to report to the Li family. It has been a busy day today. Master Hou, please take a rest as soon as possible. Here Just leave it to the old slave!"
"Haha, I was overthinking it!" When Xiao Han heard this, he suddenly realized that having such a competent housekeeper really saved him a lot of trouble!
Bowing to ask Xiao Han to go back to sleep, Butler Lu was busy asking people to carry Li Shentong to the guest room.
After settling in, he grabbed a skinny young man and asked him to deliver a message to the Li family. The Li family's village and the Xiao family's village were originally close to each other, and everyone in the village knew their location.
