Compared to the outside world, Youjiaobu is a pure land.
The peach blossoms in Peach Blossom House are still pink and delicate, fragrant and elegant, always blooming. No matter the season, those who enter here always have the illusion of being caught in the spring breeze, and it has indeed become a scene in Youjiao Port. Gao Laoer sits on the ground Collect some money.
It is currently the only relatively stable income in Taohuaju.
Years passed, and time passed quickly. After returning from Penglai Mountain, almost two years had passed.
It was also the most peaceful period for the senior brothers after they came out of the mountains.
There is no one who often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. After recognizing this reality, they also accepted their mediocrity. The shopkeeper next door is right, don't listen to other people's chatter. Only unpromising people like to talk about promising things.
Although they were trying to comfort the senior brothers, they took it seriously. In order to live a steady life and make money, they no longer dreamed of getting rich overnight.
Even though they were able to calm down, they were frightened. Not to mention the hardships they had gone through, they had heard on the way back that Tianji Mountain was shaken. Xiang Daxing, the man from Daye Division, was angry for some unknown reason and mobilized the troops of Daye Division for a bloodbath. He broke into the city and was said to be involved in a wide range of things, killing many, many people. Other forces also got involved because of the huge changes. The inside story was no longer something that outsiders could figure out.
The woman's cruelty made the other brothers' hair stand on end. Thinking of the deaths of Tong Zaitian and Jasmine, Yu Qing's resentment towards Xiang Lanxuan could not be eliminated.
Fortunately, the storm in Tianji Mountain did not affect them, and no one seemed to know that they had been to Tianji Mountain.
Now, everything has returned to normal, Mu Aotie and Nanzhu have gone out to run orders, and it was Gao Laoer who took the job for them.
Gao Laoer has been in Youjiaobu for a long time and knows many shopkeepers. If any shop has to do errands to the outside world, Gao Laoer will help his two junior brothers. Without the identity of Youjiaobu, he cannot work in Youjiaobu. I work in Jiaobu, so it’s no problem to run orders outside. If it is too dangerous, the two junior brothers will not be allowed to do it. Gao Laoer will identify it himself.
Baili Xin has not been in Youjiao Port for a long time, and has also gone out to find work. It is easy for her to find work as a great archery master. When a wealthy family invites her to live in the town, her income is much higher than that of Mu Aotie and Nan Zhu. Not only is the salary high, , and much easier.
It is said that Nanzhu often takes a detour to see Bailixin when he goes out.
As for Yu Qing, he didn't go out much and spent most of his time in Taohua Juli doing some meditation.
Although he said he was practicing pure cultivation, it was actually the same as waiting to die. His cultivation level was already at the peak of the Elementary Profound Realm, and he was unable to break through and was stuck at the stage of enlightenment. However, the chance of his breakthrough is still quite high, because he is young and has time capital.
He didn't worry about going out to make money. He kept his hair disheveled all day long and often wandered barefoot in the Taohuaju. He looked like a lunatic and had a sense of reclusion from the world. Fortunately, Chong'er didn't dislike him and still treated him like an ancestor. , a very young person, but turned into a waste who could only open his mouth after eating.
In fact, it is quite easy for him to make money, but because of his reputation, he is embarrassed to make money using Tan Hwa Lang's brand.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie could understand. After all, they had experienced the Wenfu incident together and knew that he actually did not want to admit that he was Tanhua Lang. In fact, for Yu Qing himself, that is only one of the reasons. The real reason is that he is a fake prodigy and has no real talent and learning at all. If he really shows off, he has to lose his reputation. Being humble is more valuable.
And Gao Laoer has been hiding something from Yu Qing, or from everyone. The reason why many people are willing to spend money to see the fairy peach tree is actually because they come because of its name. A small part of it is the name of the fairy peach tree, and most of them are It's for Old Fifteen.
The guests who spend money to go to Peach Blossom Residence to see the fairy peach trees, the reason why they come all the way to Youjiao Port is not directly to see the fairy peach trees. Most of them come to Youjiao Port. I heard that Tanhualang lives in Youjiao Port. Peach Blossom Residence, and then I learned that I could spend money to go in and see the fairy peach trees. If I were lucky, I could even see Tanhua Lang himself. This way, I continued to attract guests.
He only gradually realized this truth later. He knew it but didn't tell everyone so that he could continue to slap everyone on the table during the quarrel. He said that it was the method he thought of to maintain Taohuaju and maintain his foothold here. legitimacy.
The two single-eyed men in Taohuaju, Xiaodong and Xiaoxi, were also fired by Gao Laoer, who was calculating the income and expenditure. He felt that there was no need for Taohuaju to support so many idle people as they had nothing to do, so he hired handymen specifically, as they had more money. No place to spend it? Do it all yourself.
Furthermore, I felt that there were a lot of secrets in Peach Blossom Residence. As time passed, everyone discovered that Xiao Hei was right. The fairy peach tree could indeed move. It had become a spirit and had spirituality, but it was still very timid. Perceive the world cautiously in the haze.
This period is when the cognition of spirits is formed. Da Hei begins to let Xiao Hei set up a table under the peach tree to read and write. Xiao Hei's "big stick" will also stretch out its limbs and help him grind ink in the form of a bug. I have grown up a lot, and my handwriting has become more mature.
Xiaoqing, who looks like a three-legged crow, often rests on the peach tree. She is usually leisurely and carefree. When guests come, she will fly back inside to escape. Now she has become a messenger among the people in Taohuaju. If there is anything, she can contact people outside in time. , or help people outside send messages home in time.
In Nanzhu's words, it was too expensive for Qianlilang to deliver the letter, costing tens of thousands of taels. Not only did Xiaoqing run the errands for free, the flight speed was also very fast, and it was also very reliable, so there was no need to worry about leaking secrets. Of course, every time Xiaoqing is asked to go out, she has to help change her makeup, which is basically dyeing the feathers a little bit, so that no one will recognize her as a valuable three-legged crow at a glance, and try to avoid possible dangers during the delivery process.
Xiaoqing is also most annoyed about helping Nanzhu deliver a letter to Baili Xin. What kind of letter is that? She is clearly asking her to help deliver a love letter. She runs all the way back and forth just to deliver a love letter to you. What do you think I am?
In a word, Taohuaju has to reduce expenses from top to bottom now.
As for the reason for reducing expenses, it also came with Chong'er's shout, "We have rare guests."
One is a woman wearing a colorful feather crown, and the other is a man wearing animal skins, tall and thick, with beards. The man and woman follow behind Zhong Er. They are none other than Ye Diandian, who is married to the Phoenix Clan in the Great Wasteland. and her husband Feng Zangshan.
Xiao Hei, who was writing under the peach blossom tree, looked up and immediately shouted in surprise: "Aunt Ye, Uncle Feng."
With his eyes shining, he dropped the pen and jumped out from behind the table, rushing towards Ye Diandian like a gust of wind.
Over the years, Ye Diandian would occasionally stop by, so Xiao Hei recognized him.
Gao Laoer's figure came out very quickly, and he jumped out of the pavilion, stopped Xiao Hei, and grabbed the charging Xiao Hei. Because Ye Diandian had a big belly, this kid was born with brute force and never took it easy. It's not heavy. It would be fine if it gets damaged.
Xiao Hei did not feel disappointed, but said happily: "Aunt Ye, Uncle Feng, have you brought me a gift?"
This is what he cares about most. Ye Diandian will bring some gifts to the children every time he comes.
Feng Zangshan laughed heartily, dropped the package on his shoulder, and handed it over: "Take it, it's all yours."
"Yeah." Xiao Hei jumped happily when he got the thing, turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, he just saw his father who walked out of the yard and stared at him coldly and said "huh".
Xiao Hei's head shrank, knowing that his father was blaming him for not knowing the etiquette of the world, he quickly turned around, and what a bachelor was so neat, he knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Zangshan and his wife, "Thank you, Uncle Feng, thank you Aunt Ye."
"Ouch." Ye Diandian was overjoyed. She held her big belly in one hand, leaned over with the other hand, helped Xiao Hei up with her own hands, touched his head and said, "Xiao Hei is so polite, but this gift is a bit too big."
Feng Zangshan burst into laughter and couldn't close his mouth.
Xiao Hei chuckled, hugged the gift and ran away first.
Chong'er pointed to Gao Laoer in the courtyard where Yu Qing currently lives, indicating that he would inform Yu Qing. After Gao Laoer nodded slightly, he trotted away.
Gao Laoer greeted the couple, and Wu Hei, who walked quickly, also greeted them politely.
After a few words, Gao Laoer led the couple to Yu Qing's yard.
Ye Diandian realized that she was not going to the courtyard where Yu Qing lived. She was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't that the courtyard where the two one-eyed men living?"
Gao Laoer chuckled: "Those two one-eyed men resigned. I don't know what they thought. They insisted on moving to the smallest courtyard. They said it was convenient for one person, but the insects moved there anyway."
Ye Diandian said thoughtfully, looked around as he walked, and asked, "Where are the fat man and the big guy?"
Gao Laoer touched his nose and was embarrassed to say that he was out to run an order. He said vaguely: "I have something to do."
Ye Diandian didn't ask any more questions, because Yu Qing had already appeared at the door of the courtyard. He was wearing a thin and yellowish white gown, with disheveled hair, holding an unsheathed sword in one hand, and came out barefoot to greet the guests. It was really Not particular.
He was practicing his sword just now. When he saw a guest coming, he picked up the sword and threw it back. The insect behind him immediately caught the sword and treated it carefully because he knew that the master still cared about the sword. Although It is broken, but it is said that it was a gift from the previous head, and it has not been replaced with a better one even if there are conditions.
Yu Qing's eyes fell on Ye Diandian's exaggeratedly big belly. It wasn't that he had never seen pregnant women before, but it was true that pregnant women were rare in the spiritual world. This was the first time he had seen them. He was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect to see this. The leaves look dotted.
Ye Diandian was obviously still not used to the Feng Clan's clothing that showed their arms and legs, so she still wore cloth clothes, but with some animal skins on top of the clothes.
When he arrived, Ye Diandian looked at him in surprise, "Why do you look like this? He looks a little depressed."
Yu Qing laughed and said: "Nothing, just try to relax and be at ease."
Seeing that he kept staring at her big belly, Ye Diandian stroked her belly and said with a smile: "I'm about to give birth, it will only be this month."
"Then I congratulate you in advance." Yu Qingchao and his wife congratulated sincerely.
Feng Zangshan, who was laughing loudly, slapped him on the shoulder. He did this every time they met. The slap made Yu Qing grin and tilt his body.
When Yu Qing invited the two of them to sit inside, Feng Zangshan turned his arm around Yu Qing's neck and walked in with his arms around him. Ye Diandian looked at him and shook his head.
In fact, the major tribes in the great wilderness are not willing to get too close to the outside world. Except for necessary purchases, the reason why Fengzangshan has a good relationship with Yu Qing is also because of Ye Diandian. Through his mouth, he knew that this Tanhualang was a great person.
It is not comparable to ordinary people in the secular world. He did not give face to the emperor, threw away his crown, abandoned literature and joined the martial arts, and still survived among several major forces by picking chestnuts from the fire and crawling through the clouds. Fengzangshan was very happy to hear it. Yu Qing is a real man, and he is very close to him.
