Chapter 245 Thirty thousand stones! The Wu siblings surprise
The sun rises in the morning.
The door of Bai Yan's mansion had just been opened. Two servants yawned as they walked out of the mansion. Then they saw a man leading a carriage, who seemed to have been waiting outside the mansion.
The two servants were a little confused, and then they saw the man turn his head and say something to the carriage, and two beautiful women slowly walked out of the carriage.
Seeing the two women, the two servants of the mansion looked at each other. They had been working as servants in this mansion and rarely saw such beautiful women.
Just when the two of them were confused.
The man slowly walked over and told the two women that Gongzijia had specially given them to Xu Junzi.
The two servants heard the man's words and nodded. They were surprised that Xu Junzi could actually make Gongzi Jia take him so seriously. After taking the man away, they turned around and took the two women into the mansion.
Inside the mansion.
Bai Yan was washing up, and Yan's small body was waiting on him.
When he saw the servant entering the room with two women, Yan looked at the appearance of the two women, his face suddenly became nervous and he lowered his head.
"Jane, meet your gentleman!"
"Yue, meet the gentleman!"
After the two women came in, they saluted Bai Yan.
At this time, the servant reported to Bai Yan that these two women were sent to the residence by the young master's retinue.
"You probably haven't eaten anything yet! Let's go to the main hall first and have some breakfast together later."
When Bai Yan heard that it was the woman sent by Gongzi Jia, he asked his servants to take the two women to the main hall, and he would be there later.
Watching the two women leave with the servants.
Bai Yan turned his head and put the wet cloth into the wooden basin.
"Yan, if I am not in the mansion, please pay attention to these two! Remember not to be discovered by them."
Bai Yan held the cloth in his hands, looked at the water in the basin, and whispered.
The two pretty women just now, given the character of Mr. Jia, Bai Yan would not have been wary of them in normal times.
However, in this current situation, Gongzijia knew that he could provide more than 30,000 yuan of food and grass. It was inevitable that the two women sent at this time were not spies.
Although there are no secrets in the mansion, there are still some things to be careful about.
Yan is more sensible.
And because of his age, it was difficult to attract the attention of the two women.
"Um!"
Yan, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head when he heard Bai Yan's words and nodded with a small face.
Bai Yan took the wet wipe and wiped his face again, put down the wet wipe, turned and walked out of the mansion.
Yan stood there, looking at the young man's back.
For her, the young man's words reassured her that she and her brother would not be kicked out or sold to others.
Think of this.
Yan put his two little hands into the wooden basin, washed the wet wipes, then struggled to hold the wooden basin and walked out in small steps.
Half an hour later.
Bai Yan and the two women sent by Gongzi Jia were having breakfast. Before Bai Yan could get up, he heard that someone was coming to visit.
"Gentleman, there are seven of them in total!"
In the main hall, a servant came to Bai Yan's side, cupped his hands and said.
When Ye Ye on the side heard this, he was not surprised.
In the past few days, whenever Feng Nian met any knights or scholars he knew in Handan, he would say hello. Coupled with his generous spending, more and more people who had known Feng Nian could not help but be jealous, knowing that Feng Nian was
Followed by a descendant of the Xu family.
This resulted in more and more people visiting the mansion, from one or two people a day to more than ten people a day.
"Gentleman, do you want to say you are not here?"
Ye turned to look at Bai Yan.
During this period of time, General Ye knew that he had never seen those who came to visit him, and would randomly use some excuses to let those people leave.
"No, go and invite them into the main hall!"
Bai Yan said softly.
Seeing his servants taking orders and leaving, Bai Yan turned to look at Ye.
"Take people and prepare money! When they leave later, I will give each of them a hundred coins!"
Bai Yan ordered.
I haven't seen you before, it's just that the opportunity hasn't arrived.
Now that Gongzijia has sent two women, he naturally wants others to know that he, Xu Zixiao, has a very close relationship with Gongzijia.
Ye bowed his hands to Bai Yan, then turned around and walked outside.
In the main hall.
Jian Yue looked at Xu Junzi with some curiosity. She didn't expect that this young Xu Junzi would be so generous, giving hundreds of dollars to everyone who came to visit.
Bai Yan, who was among the two women, felt their gazes and could roughly guess what they were thinking.
Naturally, Bai Yan would not explain.
When the Qin State attacked Zhao, the scholars who had been doing nothing in other vassal states all wanted to take the opportunity to come to the Zhao State to look for opportunities to get ahead and display their ambitions.
This time he wanted to use his two daughters to let others know that his relationship with Gongzi Jia was unusual, but nothing should appear deliberate.
Maybe a dozen people are enough!
Inside Handan City.
In another mansion that is several times larger than Bai Yan's mansion.
Zhao Qiu was sitting in the pavilion, eating the breakfast served by his servants, looking at the scorching sun rising again, his eyes a little lost.
How long has it been since it rained in Zhao State?
Now that a natural disaster occurred in the modern world, the Zhao people were displaced, and Li Mu had already led Zhao Bianqi and Daibei's army at Jingxing to guard against the Qin army led by Qin Wang Jian.
Handan Palace seems to be preparing to abandon Daibei and Yanmen this time.
Think of this.
Zhao Qiu looked thoughtful.
At this time, Zhao Qiu suddenly saw the maid in the distance coming here in a hurry with Gongzi Jia.
Seeing this, Zhao Qiu was a little surprised, but more confused.
Before the young master gained great fame, he had always been very taboo about her.
Even when the two of them meet in private, Gongzijia is usually cautious and does not dare to let others know.
Why did Mr. Jia suddenly come to her place today and still look so anxious?
After a while.
When Gongzi Jia came to the pavilion, Zhao Qiu stood up. After the two saluted, they sat down at a wooden table respectively.
Gongzijia didn't mince words at this time, he bluntly said that he was here to ask for help, and informed Zhao Qiu of yesterday's incident.
When Zhao Qiu heard that Xu Zixiao had thirty thousand stones of food and grass, he froze on the spot, his beautiful eyes full of shock.
"Not five thousand stones, but thirty thousand stones?"
Zhao Qiu knelt down in front of the wooden table and looked at Gongzi Jia in disbelief.
Back in the restaurant, Xu Zixiao clearly said that he only had five thousand stones.
Why did Young Master Jiahui suddenly say, "There are thirty thousand stones!"
"Are you sure he has?"
Zhao Qiu frowned and breathed slightly. She couldn't believe that Xu Zixiao had so much grain.
"It should be true, he is in Handan."
Gongzijia watched the maid put breakfast on the wooden table in front of him, then looked at Zhao Qiu and said.
In fact, when he first heard Xu Zixiao say this number, Gongzi Jia was confused and doubted whether Xu Zixiao was a liar. However, after some observation, Gongzi Jia found that Xu Zixiao did not look like a liar.
And during future transactions, no matter how many times the 30,000 shi is traded, Xu Zixiao will always be in Handan.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xu Zixiao to lie to others.
"Thirty thousand!"
Zhao Qiu looked at Gongzi Jia's appearance and thought of this number in her mind. At this moment, even she could no longer remain calm.
Thirty thousand shi of grain and millet is enough to make Dai Jun breathe easy.
There are so many things that can be done.
"Go and invite Wu Yun and Wu Gao over!"
Zhao Qiu turned his head and ordered the maid.
The maid took the order, turned around and walked towards the outside of the pavilion.
"Huh? Why did you call them two here?"
Gongzijia was a little puzzled when he heard Zhao Qiu's words.
Regarding the Wu siblings, Gongzi Jia naturally understood that the Wu family was a wealthy businessman family. When Korea was still in existence, the Wu family in Xingyang had good relations with the State of Zhao and had contributed several times to collect information to help the State of Zhao.
But Gongzi Jia didn't understand why Zhao Qiu wanted the Wu siblings to come over when talking about Xu Zixiao.
"Before."
At this time, Zhao Qiu also told Gongzi Jia what had happened when Wu Yun entered Zhao.
"And there's this!"
When Gongzijia heard Zhao Qiu's words, he slowly showed a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Xu Zixiao and the Wu siblings would have such an encounter.
"Can someone handle this matter?"
Gongzi Jia looked at Zhao Qiu and asked, "Wu Yun's beloved Wei Wen died in Zhao State. They must give an explanation to the Wu family, both emotionally and rationally."
Otherwise, if word spreads, they will not only lose the Wu family and the Wu family's connections, but they will also likely lose the help of other noble families.
"rest assured!"
Zhao Qiu saw in the distance that the maid had come over with sister Wu Yun.
"Wu Gao, I've met the young master!"
"Wu Yun, I have met the young master!!"
Wu Gao and Wu Yun came to the pavilion and quickly saluted Young Master Jia, and then saluted Zhao Qiu.
Gongzi Jia and Zhao Qiu also stood up and returned the courtesy.
Then the four of them took their seats.
Gongzijia was the first to be polite, and emotionally bluntly said that what happened to Wei Wen was his fault, Gongzijia, and Wu could speak up if necessary in the future.
After speaking, Wu Gao looked at Gong Zijia, full of gratitude.
Zhao Qiu waited until Gongzi Jia finished speaking before looking for an opportunity to change the topic to Xu Zixiao.
Inside the pavilion.
Along with Zhao Qiu's narration, both Wu Gao and Wu Yun opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
Xu Zixiao, who had rescued them at the beginning, actually had 30,000 shi of grain and millet in his hands!
"this!"
Wu Gao and Wu Yun looked at each other.
I think back to when we met in that mountain village, and that night they begged the young man to come to our rescue.
At that time, the two siblings really did not expect that the clan behind young Xu Zixiao had so much food.
"You two know that these 30,000 stones of grain and millet are extremely important to the State of Zhao. However, it is difficult for Master Jia and I to come up with such a large amount of money, so I hope that you can go see Xu Zixiao and ask him to be accommodating."
After Zhao Qiu finished speaking, the other young master at the short table, Jia, also raised his hands to the two siblings and saluted slowly: "Jia, I beg you both for this!"
Inside the pavilion.
Wu Yun came back to her senses and looked at Gongzi Jia and Zhao Qiu.
However, before she could speak, Wu Gao on the side spoke first.
"Gentleman Xu has helped me save my life. I am willing to go, but I cannot guarantee the price of grain and millet!"
Wu Gao said to Zhao Qiu and Gongzi Jia with his hands raised.
Xu Zixiao saved their sister and brother's life back then, and they owed it to Xu Zixiao. If Xu Zixiao was unwilling to lower the price this time, they would never insist.
Wu Yun thought about going to see the young man, but she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
the other side.
Gongzi Jia and Zhao Qiu looked at each other, and finally nodded towards Wu Gao.
"I'd like to thank you two for taking a trip this time!"
During the conversation.
Zhao Qiu sensitively noticed that something seemed wrong about Wu Yun's appearance, and then guessed that there must be something she didn't know about.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qiu suddenly looked very interested.
