Sheng Guoer looked at the three people leaving curiously, muttering in her heart.
These three people looked very strange. I had never seen them before. Could they be enemies?
Meng Xingzhou also felt that this matter was very strange and said, "Guoer, we are not going back today, so we will sleep here overnight and we will talk about it tomorrow."
Sheng Guoer nodded, feeling that the origin of the visitor was unknown, and if he went back rashly, something would definitely happen.
Meng Xingzhou waited for those people to go away, saw the right opportunity and shot a wild goat, then went up to tidy up, and returned to the camp with the wild goat and Sheng Guo'er.
On the way, Sheng Guoer picked some fruits and wild vegetables and ate them with the tender meat of the wild goat, which had a unique flavor.
When she came, Sheng Guoer specially brought a salt bowl. This kind of bowl is made of salt. When you want to eat, just rub the roasted mutton on it.
At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the stars are shining in the sky. The bonfire is burning brightly, and the sound of crackling firewood is heard from time to time.
Sheng Guoer smiled and turned the lamb leg that was added to the barbecue. At this moment, the lamb was roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and was sizzling with oil. Sheng Guoer pursed her lips and sprinkled some pepper powder on it.
"Oh, there's just no cumin and chili powder here, otherwise it would taste better."
Sheng Guoer was a little regretful. She used to like barbecue the most. This time, instead of skewering it, she roasted the leg of lamb in such a rough way. Although it had some flavor, barbecue without cumin powder and chili powder was simply soulless. !
Seeing Sheng Guoer sighing, Meng Xingzhou thought Sheng Guoer was worried about the three people today, so he said: "Guoer, when we go back tomorrow, no matter what happens, I will protect you!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and glanced at Meng Xingzhou. She knew that what was in Meng Xingzhou's heart was different from what she thought, but seeing Meng Xingzhou defend her like this made Sheng Guoer feel quite sweet in her heart.
Sheng Guoer turned the lamb leg and saw that the heat was almost done, so he said: "Okay, you can eat it!"
Meng Xingzhou wiped his hands, took out his knife and cut off the tenderest parts piece by piece, put them in the salt bowl and handed them to Sheng Guo'er.
Seeing that Meng Xingzhou gave the best to her, Sheng Guoer felt sweet and kissed Meng Xingzhou.
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "What are you doing!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "I'll eat your tofu!"
Meng Xingzhou looked at himself and said, "Where can I find tofu?"
Sheng Guoer glared at Meng Xingzhou angrily and muttered: "Idiot!"
After the meal, the two cuddled up against each other and looked at the stars in the sky among the flowers. Sheng Guoer pointed at the stars in the sky and said, "Look, there is Scorpio over there, and there is Leo over there." "
Meng Xingzhou said: "What Leo, Orion?"
Sheng Guoer said: "What are the twelve constellations?"
Meng Xingzhou showed a surprised expression and asked: "I only know the twelve zodiac signs, what are the twelve constellations?"
Only then did Sheng Guoer realize that Meng Xingzhou didn't know anything about the twelve constellations. Sheng Guoer said, "The twelve constellations represent twelve different personalities."
Meng Xingzhou became interested and asked, "Oh, this is the so-called unity of heaven and man!"
Sheng Guoer smiled, thinking that the ancients were really good at summarizing.
Sheng Guoer nodded and continued: "Actually, each constellation has a story. It's the story of the Western Regions. People in the Western Regions don't have zodiac signs, only constellations."
Meng Xingzhou was a little surprised, but looking at Sheng Guoer's words, he said, "Madam is really knowledgeable and talented. I really need to learn from you in the future."
As the bonfire gradually extinguished, the two hid in the tent.
The next morning, with the chirping of birds, a new day began.
Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou got into the carriage and returned home.
As soon as they got home, they saw Xing'er running over in a hurry and said, "Master and Madam, three burly men came to see you. I thought they were evil, so I asked the concierge to stop them."
Meng Xingzhou and Sheng Guoer looked at each other and smiled, they must be those three people.
Sheng Guoer waved his hand and said, "Let them come in!"
Xing'er looked at Sheng Guo'er worriedly, and Sheng Guo'er nodded and said, "It's okay, I know them."
Xing'er had no choice but to ask the concierge to let the three of them in.
"Three of you came from afar. You must have something to do with me. Is it a business matter or a private matter?" Sheng Guoer greeted the three of them and sat in the main hall. Meng Xingzhou sat aside with Sheng Guoer.
The bearded man didn't expect Sheng Guo'er to be such a young girl. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm Tieda Wuzhen, these two are my brothers. The one with the pockmarked face is called Kuokuochu, and the fatter one is called Chi Liewen. We All three of them are from the Dongyuan clan."
Meng Xingzhou suddenly became vigilant. The Dongyuan Empire had always coveted the Dasheng Dynasty and often invaded the border. Meng Xingzhou asked: "What are you doing here? Don't you know that our two countries are at war?"
Tieda Wuzhen said: "This official has misunderstood. We are not spies, but merchants. We have been doing border trade before. I heard that Sheng Guoer once did a business called 'box lunch' on the official road, which attracted the attention of merchants." We all praise you very much. We are very interested in you and want to do business with you!"
Sheng Guoer knew her husband's thoughts and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. Your empire is at war with my country. If word spreads, wouldn't it mean that I, Sheng Guoer, am a collaborator?"
After finishing speaking, Sheng Guoer served tea and said, "Send off the guests!"
Just as Sheng Guoer and Meng Xingzhou were about to leave, Tieda Wuzhen stood up and said: "Boss Sheng, business is business, and war is war. They are not the same. If Boss Sheng agrees to our cooperation, I promise to convince the Khan, Stop the war!"
Meng Xingzhou questioned: "What ability do you have to make the Great Khan stop fighting?"
Just when Chi Liewen was about to announce his family status, he was stopped by Kuokuo Chu, who said: "You two, my master is very powerful in the court, please don't worry. We are going south this time to learn from the Southern Dynasties. Ping'an Township in Dongliao Prefecture is the closest to us, and Boss Sheng is well-known in Ping'an Township, so I came here to learn how to operate from Boss Sheng."
Sheng Guoer felt that what she said was very pertinent, but these people felt that it was a bit insincere.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "I know a little bit about business management, but I don't dare to teach you. I'd better hire someone else to do it!"
Tieda Wu really understood that Sheng Guoer did not believe the three of them, so he said: "We grassland people believe in a promise and treat our friends sincerely. A war between the two countries is not what I want. I offer something, I don't know if it can represent My sincerity!"
After finishing speaking, Tieda Wuzhen signaled, and Chi Liewen presented a letter with both hands.
Meng Xingzhou took the letter, opened it and was stunned.
This is a letter from Wei Jinzhong collaborating with the enemy. It also has the unique seal of the Duke of Fuguo!
This seal cannot be forged, because this seal is Wei Jinzhong's personal belongings, and the handwriting is also Wei Jinzhong's handwriting.
"You two, we can help the Dasheng Dynasty get rid of a spy. This will show our sincerity!"
Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guoer and whispered, "This is indeed evidence that Wei Jinzhong is collaborating with the enemy!"
Sheng Guoer rolled his eyes and felt that this matter was not trivial, and said: "Three of you, we don't know your origins yet, so we dare not make any conclusions. This matter is not trivial and involves one of our founding fathers. Please three of us." Stay at my house for a while, and I will give you an answer tomorrow!"
Tieda Wuzhen was a truly good-natured man. He immediately bowed deeply and said, "Okay, this will save you the trouble of getting angry with the boss!"
Sheng Guoer felt that this man was very famous and had no doubts or wariness about her, which showed that he was a true hero. Sheng Guoer said: "Come here, give each of the three distinguished guests a first-class guest room and prepare the best food and wine." Entertaining three distinguished guests!”
Xing'er received the order and turned around to get ready.
After the three people left, Sheng Guoer said to Meng Xingzhou: "We must discuss this matter with Hong Shiqing and Zhao Mengfu. It is no small matter!"
Meng Xingzhou nodded and said, "Also, I must report to Chang Bowen, the censor, and let him explain the situation clearly to the emperor."
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Go handle this matter, discuss it with Master Hong and Master Zhao, and then write a letter to Master Chang. I will stabilize those three people!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Then be careful!"
Sheng Guoer said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm in our home, they don't dare to do anything to me!"
Meng Xingzhou nodded, then took off his soft protective armor and put it on Sheng Guoer.
"Be careful. This protective soft armor has been following me for a long time. It is invulnerable. You put it on just in case!"
After Meng Xingzhou tied the last button of the soft armor, he warned carefully: "Be careful in everything!"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Without further delay, let's go!"
Meng Xingzhou turned around and went to Hong Shiqing's place.
Sheng Guoer changed her clothes and came to Tieda Wuzhen's guest room.
It happened that all three of them were there, Sheng Guoer said with a smile: "Three distinguished guests, please take a seat, come!"
Xing'er had already brought the food and wine with her servants and placed them on the table.
"Three distinguished guests have come from afar. I'll prepare some wine for them to wash away their dust." Sheng Guoer greeted the three of them to sit down grandly.
Tieda Wuzhen said with admiration: "I have long heard that Boss Sheng is wise and generous, and now I see that he is well-deserved. I, Tieda Wuzhen, have also met many women from the Southern Dynasties, and few are as manly as Boss Sheng. You are very Like us prairie people!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "You're welcome, please!"
After the guests and guests sat down and had a drink, Sheng Guoer asked, "Is Mr. Tieda Wuzhen just here to learn how to run a business?"
Tieda Wuzhen sighed and said: "Our Dongyuan Empire is dominated by iron cavalry, but we cannot continue to be nomadic. I have been fascinated by the culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and I have a special liking for historical records. If the Dongyuan Empire wants to develop, it has always relied on it. Burning, killing and looting will not work. Therefore, I want to bring your advanced ideas back through business, which will benefit both of us!"
Chi Liewen said: "Yes, my master came to find you with this intention in mind!"
Kuokuochu added: "Boss Sheng doesn't know something. You have twelve zodiac signs, and we also have twelve constellations. Logically speaking, we still have something in common."
When Sheng Guoer heard about the twelve constellations, she smiled: "So you also have twelve constellations. What constellation are you three? Are you Scorpio or Leo?"
Kuokuochu looked at Sheng Guoer in surprise and said, "I also hold the position of high priest in the Dongyuan Empire. I thought that only our Dongyuan Empire and the other countries in the Western Regions knew the art of astrology. I didn't expect you, Boss Sheng, could do the same." ah?"
Sheng Guoer was thinking about the art of astrology. Isn't it just the astrolabe and tarot cards? She knew how to do this in junior high school.
Sheng Guoer said: "I know a little bit about it, why don't we just have a chat."
Tieda Wuzhen said: "If Boss Sheng can convince us of our chat, we are willing to provide a thousand kilograms of cumin for free!"
When Sheng Guoer heard about cumin, she smiled in her heart and said, "You really get whatever you want!"
