Ye Sanniang's original name is Ye Linghu. She is the third eldest daughter of the Ye family in southern Dawei. She is a well-educated and worldly lady.
Such women have great character, so she eloped with a servant at home, traveled westward, and settled in Yangguan.
Such a wild and crazy dream came and went even faster. I never thought that the servant was just interested in his identity as the third young lady of the Ye family and wanted to get some benefits from it. He had no feelings for Ye Sanniang at all.
After learning the truth, Ye Sanniang was so angry that she killed her "husband" with her own hands and used the remaining money to open this wine shop and inn.
In a place like Yangguan, it is difficult to do business, especially for women.
There was no choice but to use her identity and old connections in the south of Dawei to protect many desperadoes, including border army officers who had embezzled military pay, and criminals who were responsible for several major murder cases.
According to her logic: using people's money to eliminate disasters for others is the fairest business in the world and the most righteous thing to do.
Done well, it's no different from the "timely rain" in the storybook legend. If you go too far, the worst possible outcome is to replace the drink sign at the door with a banner of "Walking for Heaven!"
It's a pity that Ye Sanniang's words did not arouse Zhao Rang's interest.
It is true that he wants to drink "Western Region Spring", and it is true that he has no money in his pocket, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be controlled by others and obey orders.
If he weren't really short of money and eager to go to the Western Regions from Yangguan, Zhao Rang wouldn't want to have any contact with Ye Sanniang at all.
Seeing that she had no intention of getting him a drink at this moment, Zhao Rang sighed deeply and turned around to leave.
Anyway, Yangguan is very big, and she is not the only boss lady.
The top priority right now is to find a place to eat.
Only half of the bowl of plain noodles had been eaten when the dog next to Young Master Zheng overturned the table.
It took a lot of effort to do it later, so now I am even hungrier...
The more times like this, the further away from Ye Sanniang you have to be. It can't be said that he fell into this woman's trap just because he was in a bad state.
But before he had taken a few steps, Zhao Rang suddenly felt a thunderous sound in his stomach, which made him extremely embarrassed.
At the same time, there were several sounds of cabinet doors opening and closing behind him, and then a strong aroma of wine spread, heading towards his nostrils.
"I'll cut some braised beef for you to drink with. You drink it first, and I'll fry two side dishes later!"
Zhao Rang turned around and saw the wine bottle and beef on the table, and sat down involuntarily.
The beef is stewed so soft that even the chewy tendons melt in your mouth.
Take another sip of "Western Region Spring" and your lips and teeth will feel more fragrant and your whole body will feel comfortable!
The "Western Region Spring" brewed from grapes has a sweet aftertaste, followed by fishy spiciness.
And the energy is gentle, and the whole body feels soft after drinking it.
As soon as I close my eyes, I immediately feel like I'm in a gentle place.
Zhao Rang knew the characteristics of "Western Region Spring", so he drank it slowly.
After finishing the plate of beef, only one-third of the wine in the pot was gone.
When Ye Sanniang came out of the back hall again, she was carrying a plate of Kung Pao chicken and a plate of fried peanuts.
She controlled the heat very well, the chicken was smooth and tender, the peanuts were crispy, and the salt was sprinkled evenly.
Zhao Rang swept away the food and wine like a storm, then leaned back and burped very roughly.
Ye Sanniang couldn't help but smile.
Having her food devoured by others is the best compliment to her craftsmanship and is worth more than a thousand words.
Zhao Rang rested for a moment, cupped his hands towards her, and said:
"Thank you Sanniang Ye!"
However, Ye Sanniang reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled it towards her chest:
"Brother, why are you so polite? You like to eat the food cooked by your sister. It's not too late for your sister to be happy!"
Zhao Rang smiled perfunctorily.
It's not that he doesn't know how to flirt with women, but she is still a little frightened when facing a woman like Ye Sanniang.
Ye Sanniang is just the opposite.
Every word that comes out of her mouth is like a sword stabbing at the opponent, making people feel like they are stuck in the throat and unable to resist.
"Sister, we will meet again later!"
Zhao asked him to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and quickly pulled his hand back unintentionally.
Generally speaking, people who say goodbye may see each other again. But if we say there will be a time in the future, it is basically far away and we will never see each other again.
So Zhao Rang emphasized the last four words very seriously.
These words were a bit heartless to anyone, but after hearing this, Ye Sanniang crossed her legs, revealing a large area of scenery under her skirt, and asked with a charming smile:
"You're here to fight for that thing too, right?"
Zhao Rang froze.
He didn't care about everything before, but he had to treat this sentence carefully.
Ye Sanniang never makes a mistake. Now that she has exposed this matter, it proves that he must have something to say.
And these words are often irresistible.
"So what?"
Seeing Zhao Rang's admission, Ye Sanniang grabbed a handful of dates from somewhere, placed them one by one on the table, and said:
"The Zheng family, the Zhang family, the Yanyu Pavilion, the Qingyi Tower...even the princes and princes from the north and the south have come to my place to drink like a revolving door recently, isn't it all for that thing? But..."
Ye Sanniang held the long tail note, picked up the date palm that had just been used to refer to the Zheng family, threw it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and spit out the core.
This move is telling Zhao Rang that with so many people coming, no one is worse than anyone else. But now the person surnamed Zheng has no head, just like a date pit that has been spit out, he is out.
“To each his own!”
Zhao Rang pondered for a moment and then spoke.
The smile on Ye Sanniang's face finally became more sincere, she enthusiastically took Zhao Rang's hand and said:
"Let's go, brother. Let's go upstairs and talk!"
The two of them walked to the door at the east end of the second floor one after another. Ye Sanniang opened the golden lock on the door and politely invited Zhao Rang in.
Zhao Rang looked at it briefly, but was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Ye Sanniang's house was extremely simple, just like the people in the countryside.
The only difference is that there is a large bookcase standing tall against the wall at the head of the bed.
There are many partitions of different sizes on the bookcases, which are classified according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches. If others don't know the specific correspondences, they have no way of knowing what the partitions are used to store.
Ye Sanniang took out a dossier from the first box "Jia Zi" and handed it to Zhao Rang.
"Baihe Mountain?"
Seeing the title of the dossier, Zhao Rang read it out inadvertently.
Baiheshan is a Taoist sect. The founder of the sect claimed to have received the true biography of Lu Zu during one day of enlightenment.
However, over the years, the Taoist priests in Baihe Mountain have not learned any of Lu Zu's immortal style. Especially after the gold mine was discovered in the back mountains, everyone became fat and full of fat, like a rich man. Where does it look like you are giving up the world and nourishing your heart?
"Just keep watching!"
When Ye Sanniang saw Zhao Rang curling his lips, she knew that he despised these "cow noses" in his heart, so she had to let him read it patiently.
"They have already found the Admiralty Escort Agency, so what else can they be worried about?"
The file said that in order to commemorate this year's Lu Zu Ascension Day, the Taoist priests from Baihe Mountain rushed to the Western Regions to purchase a batch of local spices and dried fruits. However, due to different government orders, transactions in the Western Regions could only use cash.
The Taoist priests in Baihe Mountain knew what they were worth, so they hired the most prestigious Jinzhong Escort Bureau to escort him all the way.
The Golden Bell Escort Bureau was named after its first chief escort, who had mastered the martial arts "Golden Bell". It has been carried forward by three generations, with eight branches spread across the north and south, with a total of no less than 50,000 people.
Sometimes, even the imperial court and local government agencies would ask the Admiralty Escort Bureau to assist when transferring important supplies and large sums of tax and military pay.
"Brother, do you know what the poor lack the most and what they fear the most?"
Zhao Rang replied without thinking:
"The most lacking of money is the most afraid of spending money without my life."
Ye Sanniang smiled and nodded.
Although the Taoist priests from Baihe Mountain had already contacted the Jinzhong Escort Bureau, they still felt that it was not safe, so they contacted Ye Sanniang again, thinking that more people would provide more protection. As for the cost, it has never been a problem for those who sit on the gold mine.
"How much can I earn from this job?"
Ye Sanniang was caught off guard by Zhao Rang's question and was very surprised.
She never thought that Zhao Rang would ask this.
In other words, in her heart, Zhao Rang was not a person who was short of money anyway. The reason why he looks down and out is just a necessary disguise.
However, since it was previously agreed that "each one gets what he needs," Ye Sanniang still answered honestly:
"Three hundred taels!"
Baiheshan's Niubi is indeed generous!
Zhao Rang was actually a little shocked when he heard the reward of three hundred taels.
You must know that even in Yangguan, one tael of silver is enough to eat nearly fifty bowls of plain noodles.
"It also comes with a reasonable identity that allows you to go to the Western Regions, without being obvious or leaking."
The landlady continued.
"Um."
Zhao Rang also felt very satisfied after hearing this.
"but……"
He changed the subject.
Ye Sanniang frowned slightly and immediately asked:
"But what?"
Zhao Rang said:
"But it seems that I am taking advantage. Since we have agreed that we each get what we need, my brother still wants to know what benefits my sister has received?"
The landlady was startled and answered the question unintentionally: "
"It's better for a man to be stupid! Only if a woman is stupid can she think she can be deceived, otherwise she will have to be a bachelor for the rest of her life!
After saying that, he got up and walked to his bed, took out a small iron box from under the pillow and handed it to Zhao Rang:
"I wanted to give it to you before I left. When you leave Yangguan and enter the Western Region, someone will come to you to get it."
Zhao Rang took it without looking at it, put it directly into his arms and asked:
"When to set off?"
Ye Sanniang smoothed the strands of hair around her temples and replied:
"Tomorrow morning."
Glancing out the window at the Gobi Desert, which was as dark as a ghost, Zhao Rang pulled out his only
There was only a hole in the bag left, and he said to Ye Sanniang:
"make a deal!"
"But my sister has to pay the three hundred taels of silver first, because my brother really doesn't have a penny left."
