Pi Erding followed Peng Xiaoyu from a distance, left the post house, and walked all the way to the west of the city. When he reached an intersection, Peng Xiaoyu stopped and looked around, as if he didn't know which direction to go. Pi Erding had an idea and walked quickly
He followed and when he passed by Peng Xiaoyu, Peng Xiaoyu called out: "Uncle, may I ask how to get to Mushi?"
Pi Erding was stunned for a moment, touched his face, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Girl, am I... very old?"
Peng Xiaoyu blushed, pinched her pointed fingers, made a gesture, and said with a forced smile: "I made a mistake. In fact... you are not old at all, you are just... just being polite."
Pi Erding was amused by her and laughed: "Is the girl a foreigner? Just arrived in Chang'an?"
Peng Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly. She glanced at the leather shoes on Pi Erding's feet and suddenly realized that the somewhat wretched-looking man in front of her was a soldier. He followed her so enthusiastically. It was probably not a chance encounter, but that he had been following her. But she
I just felt panic in my heart, but my body didn't move.
Pi Erding saw the vigilance in Peng Xiaoyu's eyes, but he did not hide it. He patted his chest enthusiastically and said, "Then you come with me. There is no one I am not familiar with in the nine cities of Chang'an. Maybe I can help you get it."
A good price.”
"Really, that's great." Peng Xiaoyu replied with a smile and followed Pi Erding forward.
The two came to Mu Market and found a furniture shop. Peng Xiaoyu took out the drawings of the foot bath bucket and made gestures to the shop owner, explaining her requirements. Although the shop owner sounded like a foreigner with her accent, she also had a green face on her face.
Ban, but he got the money easily, and his actions were decent and well-behaved. He was so happy that he agreed repeatedly.
"Okay, no problem. Can I pick it up in two days?"
"Seller, that... barrel is very heavy. As a little girl, it may not be convenient for me. Can you please send it to me then? I can give you more money."
"That's it." The shop owner hesitated, pointed to the busy clerk, and said awkwardly: "Originally, this is nothing. But look, girl, there are really no idle people in my shop..."
"You ignorant old man, I've told you well, but you won't listen, right?" Pi Erding turned his face, took out his badge from his waist, waved it in front of the shopkeeper, and put it away again. "Know me.
Pi Erding? Just listen to me honestly. In two days, send the bucket this girl ordered to the post house in front of the Governor's Mansion. If there is anyone cutting corners or playing tricks, I will have someone seal it immediately.
Your store.”
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he threw his hands away: "The old man is ignorant and didn't know that it was Master Pi's goods. Don't worry, I will deliver it to you the day after tomorrow."
"Where's the price?" Pi Erding rolled his eyes and yelled reluctantly: "You are bullying this little girl as a foreigner and asking for an exorbitant price, right? We Chang'an people have all lost face by you. No matter what,
, Chang'an was once the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, how can we allow profiteers like you to ruin our reputation?"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, knowing that he had encountered a robber today, so he quickly took out the deposit he had just accepted and put his hands in front of Pi Erding. Just as Pi Erding was about to collect it, Peng Xiaoyu blocked him and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper,
Mr. Pi is joking with you. You should keep the money first, there is no way you can buy things for free."
Upon hearing this, Pi Erding's hand that he just stretched out stopped in mid-air, and then retracted shyly. The shopkeeper was hesitant. Of course he was reluctant to give away the money, but he was also afraid that Pi Erding would make excuses to get angry.
He was too familiar with Pi Erding, a ruffian-turned-soldier. If he wasn't good at fighting, it would be easy to treat him like a carpenter.
Seeing this, Peng Xiaoyu hurriedly took Pi Erding out and said with a smile: "Master Pi, where is the wine market? You have done me such a big favor and I can't repay you. I will buy some wine and take it back, sir."
Quench your thirst?"
After hearing this, Pi Erding was slightly angry and then he was happy. He said a few words of false politeness and took Peng Xiaoyu to the wine market. Along the way, he enthusiastically introduced the customs of Chang'an and asked questions.
Peng Xiaoyu made wooden barrels. Extorting some money for wine was just an unexpected gain. His real intention was to get close to Peng Xiaoyu and inquire about the news.
Peng Xiaoyu did not hide it, and explained the functions of the foot bath bucket one by one. Hearing that foot baths had such great benefits, Pi Erding couldn't help but become more enthusiastic. After buying wine and sending Peng Xiaoyu back to the post house, he immediately
I returned to the wooden market and extorted a bucket from the shopkeeper and delivered it to his house. Although the shopkeeper was reluctant, he did not dare to resist, so he had to swallow his anger and admit himself to be unlucky.
Pi Erding turned around and reported what happened to Xiao Nuo. Xiao Nuo didn't take it too seriously. He just thought about it for a while and couldn't see any problems, so he wrote a report as usual and gave it to Xiahou Mao. Xiahou
After reading the report, I was quite interested and took some notes.
Two days later, the foot bath bucket was delivered to the post house. Wei Ba came out to inspect the goods, paid the balance, and rewarded the goods. He said to the delivery boy: "Don't unload the truck, and help me deliver it to the Governor's Mansion."
The clerk knew that this man was related to the Dudu Mansion, so he didn't dare to offend him, and since he had received the reward, he was in a happy mood. He didn't care about walking a few extra steps, so he pushed the deer cart and came to the gate of the Dudu Mansion with Wei Ba. Today was
It was Captain Tian Fu who was on duty. When he saw Wei Ba bringing a wooden barrel to see him, he couldn't help but laugh: "Wei Jun, what kind of treasure is this? Could it be Lao Jun's convenient magic weapon?"
After two months of getting along with each other, although Wei Ba was not close to Tian Fu, he also knew that this man had a good background. His father was Tian Yu, the captain of Wuhuan Huhuan, who was in Wei Zhenbei Xinjiang. Tian Fu was the second son and had no
When he had the chance to succeed him, he sought his own way and came to Guanzhong to become a captain. He grew up in the north, was proficient in bow and horse, and was good at riding combat. It was of course perfect for him to come to the western theater. But Guanzhong had nothing to do for many years, so he also
Too busy to panic.
"How can I have such a treasure? It's just some health-preserving equipment. Please tell the general, Captain."
Tian Fu asked people to go in and report. It didn't take long and Wei Ba was allowed in. Wei Ba came to the middle hall and saw Xia Houmao gesturing with cloud hands in the court. While gesturing, he smiled at Wei Ba and said, "Ziyu, this cloud hand
It’s really amazing. I’ve only been practicing for a few days and I feel my energy is smooth and I feel ready to do something.”
Although Xia Houmao doesn't have any great skills, he looks good, and he can practice Yun Shou quite well, and he has an immortal spirit. Wei Ba bowed and smiled and said: "That's because the general has an immortal destiny, is sincere, and perseveres.
Although there is no guarantee of immortality, good health can be expected."
Xia Houmao laughed loudly and glanced at the barrel while making gestures. "What is this?"
"This is also a health-preserving tool, but it is different from the Yun Shou. The Yun Shou dredges the blood vessels in the hands and upper body, and the upper part goes down. But this one dredges the blood vessels in the feet and legs, and the lower part goes up. Cooperate with the Yun Shou, you can
They complement each other.”
Xia Houmao suddenly remembered the report from the previous two days. He couldn't help but stopped and asked, "But what kind of bucket is that for foot bath?"
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "The general is wise, that's why." He was a surrendered general, and Xiahou Mao seemed to trust him, but he was unavoidable in secret. Pi Erding was one of the people following him, and he was also worried about it.
He knew it well. The reason why Peng Xiaoyu was asked to order the foot bath bucket instead of him himself was to avoid suspicion.
Xia Houmao was very happy. He took the cloth and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked at the wooden bucket with interest and asked about the foot bath. Wei Ba stepped forward and said softly: "General, he is busy with many things and is exhausted.
Seeing this, I admired the general, but also worried about him. The general worked so hard, which not only exhausted his body, but also neglected the princess who came from thousands of miles away. No matter how righteous the princess is, she will still complain.
General, do you think so?"
Xia Houmao rolled his eyes and put away his smile. The thing he was most worried about in the past two days was not that Zhuge Liang might invade, but that Princess Qinghe refused to let go of his dozen or so beautiful concubines and was bent on ripping off their lovely little heads.
Cut it off. For this reason, he didn't know how many soft words he said, but he couldn't get Princess Qinghe to show her favor. He couldn't see those little beauties for several months, and he felt like there were dozens of little mice in his heart, every night.
Hundreds of claws scratched his heart, and he couldn't sleep at night. Wei Ba suddenly mentioned these things, and he was a little embarrassed.
"so what?"
"General, after a hard day's work, you can enjoy a foot bath to soothe your mind. If you have a beautiful woman giving you a massage, it will not only be pleasing to the eye, but also pleasing to the eyes. One person can enjoy it alone, but two people can enjoy it, and it will not help you maintain your health."
, it can better promote the harmony of the piano and the harp.”
After hearing this, Xia Houmao's eyes lit up, and then he laughed covertly, pointed at Wei Ba and said: "Wei Ziyu, Wei Ziyu, you have a great talent, but you don't use your mind on serious matters. You think about these things all day long.
, isn’t it such a pity?”
Wei Ba smiled and said: "There is a general in Chang'an and the world is at peace. Why do I need to talk? I can serve the general and share his worries, so I have done a great thing. Does the general think so?"
Xiahou Mao was overjoyed, stroking his beard and nodding repeatedly. He glanced at the two brand-new foot bath buckets, stretched out his hand to pull Wei Ba up and walked to the hall. After sitting down, he said seriously: "Wei Ba, if you don't come, I'm going to prepare."
I'm going to find you. I have reported your matter to the imperial court. Your Majesty appreciates your loyalty and has issued an edict to confer you the title of Fengyi Zhonglang General. From now on, you will be a general of our Guanzhong Military Region. Please be careful in the future.
Do something to serve His Majesty."
Wei Ba turned over and prostrated, grateful.
Xiahou Mao had people bring the seals and official uniforms, and watched Wei Ba put them on. He stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Boy, you are indeed a talented person. Wearing these official uniforms will make you even more majestic. Wait until the fight is over.
For this battle, come with me to Luoyang. I wonder how many famous ladies will take a fancy to you. If you marry a beautiful wife in the future, don't forget to treat me to a drink."
Wei Ba smiled overjoyed and said: "Wei Ba came to Guanzhong with nothing, and the general treated me as if I was born again. If I have some achievements, how can I forget the general?"
"That's good." Xia Houmao's expression changed, and his official authority immediately flew to the sky. The expression on his face looked vulgar. "Ziyu, then don't delay the pedicure. You said it is
Bar?"
Wei Ba understood: "General, don't worry, I will immediately arrange for my maid to teach the art. General, what do you think is the best way to teach?"
Xiahou Mao twirled his beard and said seriously: "Of course, the faster, the better."
