Chapter 86 Rumors

?Yuezhou, in Xiaochang City, the governor of Yuezhou, Xu Shao, the son of the governor of Yuezhou, was shooting arrows at home, and his opponent was a classmate and friend of Mianzhou, Hao Wubo, the son of the governor of Mianzhou. A few days ago, Xu Shao returned to Anlu with the army and took leave to Yuezhou to visit his parents today. His friends came to visit him.

The shooting scores are single shots and friends. Today, they are only two of them, so they are single shots, and the target distance is 80 steps, which is considered to be low-difficulty. After a battle, Hao Wu Bo won with a slight advantage.

"Sizong has not practiced arrows in the army?" After saying that, Hao Wubo put down his bow and arrow and walked to the side to sit on the bed and sat against Xu Shao across the case. Xu Shao wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "The military affairs are busy all day long and there are no time to supervise people in the army. Besides, there are many masters of shooting skills in the army. The distance between the target is 120 steps and no bow is allowed. I am not their opponent."

Hao Wu Bo knew that Xu Shao had been in the army in the past few months, so he asked about interesting things in the army. In early June, Yuwen Liang, the general manager of Anzhou, led his army to fight against Yang in the general manager of Jingzhou, and Xu Shao also participated in it. It was a good time to listen to the story.

During the conversation, Hao Wu Bo signaled his entourage to present a wooden box: "This is a new tea cake for my home, and Sizong will have a tea or two."

Xu Shao signaled the servant to take and bring the lit small charcoal stove and a tea set. The two maids then boiled water on the side with a small stove. They carefully took out a piece of tea cake and mashed it carefully in a porcelain bowl. When they were about to add green onions, Xu Shao said to stop him: "Let's wait, just soak it."

The trend of drinking tea has been popular in Jiangnan for many years since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It started as a refreshing medicine to later daily drinks and became a custom. However, just like the situation in the world, people in southern China drank tea while people in northern China drank cheese.

"Is the rumors true in the battle under the command of Yuwen Tongjun?" Hao Wu Bo asked when he saw that it would take some time to make tea. Yuwen Liang, the second son of Anzhou General Manager Yuwen Liang, had many bad reputations, and he was a little curious. His friend was doing things under Yuwen Wen's men, so he wanted to hear what the other party said.

Last May, Hao Wubo passed by Xiaochang to visit Xu Shao. The two met Yuwen Wen, the passerby Xiyang County Gong, at Shiliting Pavilion outside the eastern suburbs of the city. At that time, Xu Shao and Yuwen Wen bet that the loser would take off their bodies and run around Anlu for three laps. Later, the bet could not be made and Xu Shao also worked in Yuwen Wen's newly trained army.

"What is the rumor that Chengye said? " Xu Shao just asked with a smile. Hao Wubo's name is Chengye, so he is called this. He knew that the Xiyang County Duke had made too many bad reputations outside for a while and didn't know where to start. So he asked the other party to point it out.

Hao Wu Bo naturally asked the recent vivid rumors that "Yuwen evil wolf started a massacre in Jiangling, and drew his sword to cut blood into a river." After hearing this, Xu Shao just smiled bitterly and said that there was a change in Liangguo Palace that night. Yuwen Wen led the soldiers into the palace to rescue his brother Yu Wenming. Although there was a fight during this period, there was no blood in the river.

Although he was defending the military camp that night, he could not come to the scene in person, but he heard the soldiers entering the palace say that someone was leading the way at that time, so he entered the palace without killing a single person. In the palace, he also defeated the imperial guards blocking the way, and the royal family of the Liang Kingdom did not suffer any damage.

"So that's it. I was surprised to hear others say this." After Hao Wu's words, he was a little reluctant to speak. In fact, he was not asking this but another version of the rumor. Of course, what he asked at the beginning always made people feel like he was as rough as he was.

After laying the preview of the previous question, he was silent for a moment and finally coughed and asked: "Uh, I heard that Yuwen Tongjun **\The harem of the Luanliang Kingdom is coming, and I think it's a vain."

Everyone is young, and they are just a young man. But when there is a tutor, he still can't help curiosity when he hears this kind of "happy" thing. Xu Shao smiled bitterly when he heard this friend's question: "That's just that the army led Liang Zhu's daughter to the palace to recognize her relatives. Where did that come from..."

Seeing that the other party was shocked, Xu Shao also coughed dryly and continued to send Miss Xiao to rescue Miss Xiao at the Pima Temple, burned Jiangjin Shu, ambushed Chen Shuling, and then waited for Chen's army to retreat and sent Miss Xiao home when he entered the city.

"That day, when the army of the army entered the palace to meet Lord Liang came out, he happened to meet Miss Xiao who was looking for relatives at the palace gate. Seeing that the other party was helpless and unable to find relatives... He was indignant and took her into the palace. Although he was a little rude, there was nothing **\The harem was in chaos..."

"It turned out to be two things. The strange thing was so trampled outside that it was confused." Hao Wu Bo nodded when he heard this. He thought that Yu Wen Wen's brother Yu Wenming would not be too rude in Jiangling City. Now that he heard that the 'party' Xu Shao told the truth, he was suddenly enlightened.

He had met the governor of Xiangzhou Yu Wenming, and his conversations were considered to be decent. There were rumors about the two sons of Yu Wenliang, the general manager, and the two sons of Yu Wenliang, who were "one tiger and one cat" in Anzhou. Hao Wu Bo referred to the various things that Xu Shao said, "Yu Wen Wen, the governor of Xiyang County, was not as unbearable as the rumor.

Xu Shao didn't say anything because there was a follow-up plot, he didn't dare to say: Yuwen Wen brought Miss Xiao out of the palace and ended up encountering "water attack" again when he went to the temple to burn incense. Finally, he brought the ninth princess of Liang back to Anlu. As for what he was going to do next, he was tacit.

Of course, he could not say such a thing as to what he was going to say next, but it was a bit difficult to say. Just when he was hesitating, the tea was ready, and the two maids put the tea in green-glazed tea cups and brought it up separately.

"A few years ago, my father found a good tea tree from Jiangnan and planted it on the mountain and now it can be picked. This is a recent new product." Hao Wu Bo explained the tea cakes he brought. Xu Shao savored it for a while and laughed out loud:

"Chengye visited me. This tea is not a new product. Let's talk about it, how many months does it take?"

"Sizong is indeed amazing. I thought I could not tell the difference between new and old tea when I was accustomed to the smell of blood in the army." Hao Wu Bo smiled. "I found a secret method in the mansion, and the more I used the tea cakes, the more fragrant it became."

The two of them were chatting while singing. Seeing that the "time is right" Xu Shao coughed and turned to the point of asking each other how to know the glass treasure mirror. Hao Wu Bo was quite surprised to hear this and asked if his family also had this valuable treasure.

"Well, my family has a kind side, and my father is heartbroken." After Xu Shao said that, he quickly lowered his head and sipped a sip of tea to cover up his face. There is indeed a glass mirror in his house, but it was not bought by his father but brought back by him.

It is said that this thing is sold for nearly 10,000 yuan. Although he insists on buying it, it will be painful for a long time. He thought that this glass treasure mirror was nothing more than a rumor, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

The mirror is nearly two palms that can reveal the appearance of a person. He is afraid that this thing will not be able to be held firmly, and he almost holds it with both hands. Then someone's tempting voice sounded in his ears: "How about it, take someone away."

Bring, not buying, these two words have completely different meanings, so it is very important. Xu Shao waited for the other party to say three times before he made sure that the other party asked him to "take" away instead of "buy" away.

It is of course impossible to take away the glass treasure mirror that was sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Even if it is possible, Xu Shao would not dare. He took the thing worth tens of thousands of yuan home for no reason, so he would have to confine his father. So he wanted to ask what was going on.

"It's okay. I have to sell my family and support my family and support my new army. If Sizong has a way, he will get a commission of 200 stakes per side?"

Yuwen Wen's voice echoed in Xu Shao's ears, especially the commission of 200 coins per side. When Hao Wu Bo saw Xu Shao raise the topic but lost the following text, he seemed to be distracted and felt strange. At this moment, he heard the other party ask if he wanted to buy it.

"Buy?" Hao Wubo murmured to himself. Of course he wanted to buy it but couldn't afford it. He could afford it at home and did buy it once, but he was treated as a treasure for a special person to keep it. When he took it, he was still holding it for a special person, so he was afraid that he would break this valuable treasure.

"Uh, cough cough." Xu Shao touched his head. Although the other party was his friend, he was still a little embarrassed when talking about such a thing, "How? Do you buy it?"

He also has many acquaintances on weekdays, but his friends are not many of them who are truly rich and powerful. In front of him, he is one of the Duke of Tang Li Yuan who is far away in Chang'an.

The "commission" of 200 cents per mirror given by Xiyang County Gong Yuwen made Xu Shao restless. The profit of this business has exceeded his ability to accept. You should know that the family spends only 10 cents a month.

Seeing Xu Shao's appearance, Hao Wu Bo was a little surprised and puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered another rumor: Xiyang County Duke could get this glass mirror. This rumor is not a rumor spread by the rough man in the market. He was a visitor to an elder's home and heard the news that the other party mentioned when he was talking to his shopkeeper.

It is said that Xiyang County has a way to buy goods from Western Regions merchants to get glass mirrors. After thinking about it, Hao Wu Bo later found that it was a bit ridiculous: Western Region merchants naturally went to Chang'an to enter the Central Plains. Who would inexplicably go to Anzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River to sell things?

However, when he saw his friend mentioning him, he became more careful. He immediately figured out the key: Does Sizong have a source of goods? No. It is unlikely that Sizong's family can have such a business path to contact the Western Regions merchants... He works under the command of the Xiyang County Duke... Could it be that Xiyang County Duke Yuwen Wen really has a source of goods?

Thinking of this, he remembered another rumor: During the period when the Anzhou army fought with the imperial army at Lianghekou, someone seemed to attack the shopkeeper of the Xiyang County Duke's Mansion. As a result, those people disappeared without a trace for no reason. The chief manager in Anlu also pretended not to know.

This series of rumors was connected and his friend asked him whether to buy a glass mirror. Hao Wu Bo suddenly realized: Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County, might have a source of goods, and Xu Shao became familiar with him and got a share of the pie.

"Uh, does Sizong have the goods in his hand?" Hao Wu Bo asked tentatively.

"How much do you want?" Xu Shao was obviously a young man who couldn't do business, so this sentence revealed his true feelings: he had more than one or two goods in his hands. If a business veteran could use this to buy a large amount of goods and bargain.

‘How many noodles? How many noodles do you want? I’m afraid there are a lot of goods there!’ Hao Wu Bo was shocked when he heard this. He had never handled the business at home, so he couldn’t make a decision. But he probably thought of what his friend revealed here:

The other party is helping Xiyang County Gong Yuwen sell glass mirrors. Of course, Xu Shao must have benefits, but the key is that he can be related to Yuwen Wen. If he can purchase goods at a lower price and then sell them, he will make a big profit.

"Sizong, I'm of course I can't buy it... You know, the family must be the decision..." Hao Wu's speech was a little unscrupulous. He was not much better if the other party could not do business. Not only did he not ask the price, but he was afraid that the other party would regret it and added: "Buy, you must buy it! I'll go back to Anlu to discuss it with my family!"

His family, like Xu Shao's family, has a big house in Anlu. On weekdays, the whole family lives in Anlu. After all, it is more comfortable there. The shopkeepers in charge of business at home are also in charge of Anlu.
