On the carriage, Xia Shuang was still crying. As the carriage drove all the way, she cried all the way. In the end, she could only find an inn and stay temporarily.
According to Fan Gu and Wang Yun, it is completely possible to be a distinguished guest and rest in their home.
But Xu Mu thought about it and refused.
"You bastard, you come to my house tomorrow." Li Xiaowan puffed up her face and kept scolding her.
"What are you going to do? Don't go."
Regarding Zhao Qingyun's matter, Xu Mu's chest was still a little tight. As for the little ancestor, at this time, it can be filtered automatically.
"The young master who always remembers the grain store is in my house."
Xu Mu paused and turned his head, his expression showing surprise.
Of course he knew that Chang Ji Grain Store was of the generation in the inner city and could be ranked among the top three major grain stores.
"Do you want to do a second job? If so, I can give you more commission."
"Fart!" Li Xiaowan's face turned red, "Sister Caiwei told me about Zhuangzi, and my aunt is helping you!"
"Just half a day to see if your love will come."
Li Xiaowan gritted her teeth and walked forward. After taking a few more steps, she didn't forget to turn around and glare at Xu Mu again.
It was Xu Mu's turn to be a little confused.
"Xu Lang, Wanwan also means well."
"I hope..."
Xu Mu rubbed his head, thinking that Li Xiaowan was repaying his kindness and that he had been worried about her all the way to the border.
As the night grew darker, Fan Gu and Wang Yun also hurriedly left, chasing Li Xiaowan's figure, shouting and running.
After a while, even the sound was no longer audible.
"Everyone has been tired for a long day. Let's have a good rest tonight."
Adhering to the belief of putting safety first, before going to bed, Xu Mu still ordered Zhou Zun to take turns to watch the night.
Lying on the wooden bed, Xu Mu fell asleep in a daze. In a deep dream, he dreamed of Zhao Qingyun in the endless Diren grassland, galloping on horseback and wielding a sword, surrounded by fighting and roaring.
In an instant, I dreamed again of the refugee heads piled up in baskets in front of the south gate of Wangzhou. There was blood everywhere and my eyes were stained red.
"Master Xu Fang, don't worry. I, Zhao Qingyun, will be at odds with the Di people in this life. All I want in this life is to serve the country and the people!"
The old friend's voice is like thunder piercing the ears.
…
In the early morning, sunlight filtered in through the partially concealed windows.
Xu Mu opened his eyes and rubbed his forehead for a long time before the feeling of swelling in his head slowly disappeared.
"My boss, my wife wants you to have breakfast."
"know."
After putting on my robe and tying up my sword, I walked downstairs to eat breakfast. The sun outside Chengcheng was already high in the sky.
The road to the Li Xiaowan family's mansion is not difficult. Driving along the bustling main street, driving a carriage all the way to the end, you can see an exquisite and wealthy mansion from a distance.
The four guards with their hair tied in headbands recognized each other and asked their names. Then they respectfully stepped aside and invited Xu Mu and his party to the mansion.
The scenery in front of me suddenly became clear after walking on the cobblestone trail.
Vermilion door, white jade steps, colorful glazed tiles.
Green willows hang all around, complementing a small blue lake. Pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are scattered in the garden.
"Brother Mu, how much money does this little ancestor's family have?"
Not only Si Hu, everyone present was amazed.
Even Xu Mu himself did not expect that Li Xiaowan's family was so wealthy... I hope your father is not a corrupt official.
"Sister Caiwei!"
Li Xiaowan wore a rare bun and a four-color silk dress. She walked happily with small steps.
Still did not forget to glare at Xu Mu.
Xiangdao couldn't hide the look in his eyes. Xu Mu was sure that if he said a few more stupid words, the guards following him would pounce on him ferociously.
Xu Mu suddenly remembered how stupid he was when he refused the two hundred taels of reward at Zhuangzi on the border.
Two hundred taels of silver, for this kind of people, is half a hair on the head.
"follow me."
Li Xiaowan seemed extremely happy. She held Jiang Caiwei's hand affectionately and walked forward. After walking along a straight bluestone path, she arrived in front of the main hall of the mansion.
Listening from a distance, laughter could be heard from time to time.
Xu Mu straightened his clothes and changed into a robe specially for this business. Apart from anything else, he really wanted to make an agreement with Changji Grain Store. He would no longer have to worry about collecting grain for a long time in the future.
.
"Dad, Mr. Chang, Master Xu is here. Don't neglect me. Master Xu is my savior."
Li Xiaowan's words finally made Xu Mu's heart move slightly. This girl was helping him support the show.
After all, a small business owner with a low status usually has little chance of being able to go to such a big place.
Two figures walked out of the main hall with smiles and laughter. One of them, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing, walked a few more steps and enthusiastically held Xu Mu's hand.
Needless to say, this is naturally Li Xiaowan's father. I heard Li Xiaowan mention it before, and his name seemed to be Li Shuomo.
"Wanwan, take the other guests and go to the inner room to rest first. The banquet has already been prepared."
Li Xiaowan nodded, took Jiang Caiwei's hand again, led Si Hu and others, and walked to the bluestone path nearby.
Just walked away.
Li Shuomo then let go of Xu Mu, and his expression became calm and motionless. Mr. Chang, who was standing next to him, yawned very boringly and took the lead in turning around and entering the main hall.
"Mr. Xu, please stand here for a while and go over there to have a banquet later. Chang Ji that the grain store will provide you with twenty carts of rice every month, based on the purchase price."
"You don't need to go in, I have other things to do."
After taking two more steps, Li Shuomo suddenly turned around, frowned and spoke again, "I almost forgot, if nothing happens in the future, I hope you don't come to Chengcheng. Just remember, stand there for a while and then go eat."
Xu Mu stood there, feeling like a dog waiting for his master to throw a bone, and then ran away with the bone in his mouth.
But he doesn't want to be a dog, he wants to be a human being, a person who can live uprightly even in troubled times.
He stepped forward, gathered up his robe, crossed the doorpost carved with auspicious animals, and stepped in.
In the quaint main hall, Li Shuomo, who was stirring the foam in his tea, raised his head and his eyes became slightly angry.
That Mr. Chang rarely showed a weird smile.
"Master Xu, I didn't let you in." Li Shuomo said in an unhappy voice as he put down the tea cup.
He has given a lot of face to the matter of harvesting grain. Twenty carts per month are calculated based on the purchase price. If it were another small owner, he would have laughed a lot.
Xu Mu did not answer immediately, but still walked in, and then stood firmly in front of the hall.
"Master Xu, it's not good for you to be like this. You seem to have no self-awareness."
Li Shuomo stood up, with anger already on his face. These days, there are many young people who want to work hard.
It's not that he doesn't give young people opportunities. On the contrary, as the fifth-rank governor of the Daji Dynasty, he has promoted many juniors in the past two years.
Of course, he is not the kind of poor boy who is struggling in the market. In this world, if some people eat rice, some will eat rice. Some people will wear silk shirts, and some will wear ragged linen clothes. This is the eternal truth.
In his opinion, Xu Mu, a member of the market, is just relying on favors to be arrogant. This kind of people will come to the end of their road.
