Jinchang City is indeed very prosperous. The streets and alleys are crowded with people of all kinds coming and going. Shops and restaurants are adjacent to each other. Although it is not as rich and aristocratic as Zhongdu, among the pedestrians traveling from north to south.
The large number of Hu people is a rare sight in Central Capital. There are not a few with blond hair and blue eyes. The shops on the street have a wide range of goods from the north and the south, and the voices of bargaining in various dialects can be heard.
The noise was so noisy that Xiao Wei was dazzled by all this. If he hadn't known that Yanxi was now in internal and external troubles, he would have been dazzled by the prosperity of this place.
"Xiaowei, have you seen that Kunyuan Building is the most famous restaurant in Jinchang City and the biggest property of the Zhang family? Haha, my third uncle and I spent every day in the building.
I won’t give up if I’m happy, but this time I was tricked by you. After drinking your wine, I can’t even drink the wine from Kunyuan House. Tsk, no matter what, you have to give that wine to your third uncle.
I will keep half of it..." Liu Zhenxiong was afraid that Xiao Wei would have a knot in his heart because of his brother's previous courtesy. Along the way, he kept introducing the scenery of Jinchang City, and he was frothing at the mouth.
, but Xiao Wei kept responding, thinking about the blessings and misfortunes of his trip to Yanxi and his party.
It seems that the unpopular news about Liu Zhenying is true. Hey, regardless of our biological relationship, I am also a member of the royal family. I will inevitably gain the status of a prince in the future, not to mention that we are now considered to be members of the imperial court.
Envoy, that guy actually dared to look at us in public. It's obvious that he's an incompetent person. How can a person like this be in charge of the overall situation in Yanxi? It would be strange if there was no chaos.
Well, if Lao Liutou can raise such an outstanding daughter as our mother, he must not be a reckless man. Could it be that he can't see that Liu Zhenying is not a housekeeper at all? I'm afraid there is something wrong here, but Lao Liutou
What kind of "medicine" is sold in the gourd? Also, the people who came out of the city today to greet them are all the younger generation. Where are those old men hiding? It seems that the five major families in Yanxi are not simple, one
The boys all seem to be quite capable. I'm afraid Yan Xi's scene won't be easy to sing. I don't care about the "milk" or "milk" thing. I'll just find the right opportunity to trick the horse and run away. I don't care whether Yan Xi lives or dies.
It’s none of my business! Xiao Wei kept thinking over and over again in his mind, but finally made up his mind and decided to make a profit and leave as soon as possible. He didn’t want to stay in such a popular Yanxi for one more minute.
On the medicine bucket.
"Xiao Wei, we're home. Come, get off your horse and go home to talk to your third uncle." Liu Zhenxiong didn't know that Xiao Wei was thinking of running away at this time. Seeing Xiao Wei's dejected appearance, he thought Xiao Wei was interested in him.
Liu Zhenying was dissatisfied with his previous attitude, so he patted Xiao Wei's shoulder apologetically, lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Wei, don't blame your uncle, alas, that was all the fault of your damn father.
It has nothing to do with you, don’t think about it, just go, my father is still waiting to see you.”[
What did our old man do? Khan, is it possible that the father's debt must be repaid by the son? When Xiao Wei heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down his back, but he couldn't tell the details at that time.
Asked, he had to laugh dryly, even if he was confused, he got off his horse, and did not care about the arrangements of the camel team behind him. He followed Liu Zhenxiong and marched into the Liu family compound... The Liu family has been entrenched in the northwest for many years, and has been operating for a long time.
His mansion is certainly very extraordinary. Although it is far from as luxurious as Prince Xiang's mansion, it is very domineering. Most of the buildings in the outer courtyard are made of bluestone, which makes it look extremely rough, but the pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the inner courtyard are quite different.
There is also the small and elegant style of the Jiangnan water town, which combines hardness and softness, which is quite unique. Coupled with some obviously exotic dome roofs and exquisite reliefs, Xiao Wei looked at it with gusto.
In this way, we walked through several courtyards, looking at things and commenting on them, and arrived at the door of an independent small courtyard deep in the backyard.
"Second Young Master, please stay. The Grand Governor asked the young prince to go in alone." Liu Zhenxiong led Xiao Weigang to the door of the courtyard. A guard wearing black armor who was guarding the door of the courtyard came up to him and blocked the way of the two of them.
He bowed and said without any emotion.
"Huh?" Liu Zhenxiong frowned, as if he was about to get angry, but in the end he still endured it. He just turned around, looked at Xiao Wei and said: "Xiao Wei, you go in first, and my third uncle will look for you later."
."
What is this old Liutou doing? Xiao Wei obviously didn't expect such a drama. When he saw that Old Liutou didn't even see his third son after coming all the way back, he immediately started to feel nagging in his heart.
, even though he was complacent, he couldn't say much more, so he could only smile and say: "Third uncle, please do your business. My nephew will go in now, and the caravan guys outside will ask third uncle to make arrangements for me.
My nephew is very grateful,"
"Yes." Liu Zhenxiong was obviously in a bad mood. He nodded, responded, turned around, and walked away on his own.
"Young prince, please!" The black-armored guard ignored Liu Zhenxiong's anger and walked away. He turned aside, got out of the way, and made an invitation gesture to Xiao Wei.
"Thank you." Xiao Wei responded calmly, without any more courtesy, he shook his sleeves and followed the black-armored guard into the small courtyard. After entering the courtyard gate, he realized
This yard is pitifully small. Apart from a small pond, a small pavilion, and a few flower trees, there is only a row of bungalows facing the water. They look ordinary and do not show the slightest aura of wealth.
I don't see anything special about it, it's just like the civilian residences on the streets seen along the way.
No, the dignified hero of Yanxi lives in such a broken building? Could it be that Old Liutou was imprisoned by Liu Zhenying? This is not the way to return to nature. As Xiao Wei walked, he felt something in his stomach
I kept mumbling and couldn't believe that the famous Yanxi tycoon lived in such a shabby place.
"Please come in, young prince. The governor has been waiting inside for a long time." The black-armored guard led Xiao Wei to a door in the bungalow. He did not go to the door that was obviously ajar, but turned around.
He came over, bowed to Xiao Wei, and made a gesture of invitation.
Damn, are you planning to trap me? Xiao Wei saw that this house was really shabby, and his heart was pounding, but everyone had already walked to the door, and there was no reason not to go in, so he could only smile and nod.
After giving a signal, he stretched out his hand to open the ajar door and walked in. He immediately realized that the room was huge. It seemed that the entire row of bungalows had been opened up, but the furnishings inside were extremely simple, except for some tables and chairs.
, a few days and a few lamp stands, there is only a big Kang, a few maids occupying the wall, an old man who looks like a doctor is checking the pulse of a white-haired old man leaning on a thick brocade cushion,
Obviously, the reclining white-haired old man should be Liu Xiaoquan, the governor of Yanxi. Xiao Weike could vaguely see the shadow of his mother on his haggard and old face.
"Is Xiao Wei here?" Liu Xiaoquan, who was lying on the kang, heard the sound of Xiao Wei entering the door. He raised his head, looked at Xiao Wei who was standing at the door and looked at him with a smile, and asked gently.
One sound.
"My child, Xiao Wei, has seen my grandpa." Upon hearing this question, Xiao Wei concluded that the person in front of him was his own grandfather Liu Xiaoquan, and hurriedly rushed forward and paid homage.
"Okay, okay, good boy, get up quickly, let grandpa take a good look at you." When Liu Xiaoquan saw Xiao Wei prostrating himself on the ground, he immediately sat up straight, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone in the room to step back, with a look on his face.
He raised his hands in excitement.
"Grandpa, I see you are here." When Xiao Wei saw Liu Xiaoquan being so excited, a wave of warmth immediately rolled through his heart. He walked a few steps on his knees and came to the Kang, raising his head.
"It looks like, it really looks like. Alas, so many years have passed and Xiaowei has grown so old. I think that when your mother left, she was your age. Alas, my grandpa is old. He is still old. Your mother is still
Okay?" Liu Xiaoquan looked at Xiao Wei carefully. Maybe he remembered the past, and the corners of his eyes became moist. He muttered in a faint tone. He was completely like an old man who missed his children, and there was no trace of the wind and cloud.
The image of a strong generation.
"Everything is fine, mother. I just miss my grandpa. I specially asked the child to come and say hello." Xiao Wei kowtowed respectfully, then stood up and bowed to answer.
"That's good, that's good." Liu Xiaoquan seemed to be distracted and murmured, but his eyes were full of complicated colors. After being in a daze for a while, he patted the edge of the bed and said, "Come on,
Good boy, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, grandpa." Looking at Liu Xiaoquan's old face, Xiao Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of attachment and closeness in his heart. He bowed respectfully, responded, and sat on the edge of the Kang very obediently.
Liu Xiaoquan touched Xiao Wei's head lovingly, looked at Xiao Wei happily and said, "Good boy, my grandpa has heard about everything along the way. Thank you for your hard work." [
"Grandpa, everything is fine with the child. It's my fault that you forgot about it." Xiao Wei replied obediently, and then without waiting for Liu Xiaoquan to speak again, he directly stated the purpose of coming to Yanxi:
"Grandpa, I believe you all know that my son has a bet with me today, and he has to get a hundred good horses to make up for it. In addition to visiting my grandpa, my son is also thinking about selling some horses back from Yanxi, and I also want to invite my grandpa.
Granted."
"Oh? Is this the case, um..." When Liu Xiaoquan heard Xiao Wei's words, the expression on his face immediately became complicated. He pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't find the answer, which caused Xiao Wei to make a fuss.
