Chapter 8 Matchmaking (1000
"I'm here again, Miss Zhang!"
Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first. Compared with the singular expression in front of Li Mu, Ergou's voice seemed full of energy, full of confidence and confidence.
He is a dentist from the West City City, Chang'an. He is famous in the West City Bureau. Not to mention how much money he earns, he still has a sense of arrogance when looking at businessmen from other places.
The people in the room changed into another face as Ergou entered the house. They were so bitter and revenge that they were gone, and they were no longer sarcastic. Standing next to Zhang Tianai, the scarred face he had just spoken for him, also squeezed out a smile he thought was kind, as if he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Ergou.
If you want to talk about the bosses in the house, no one is the murderer who has followed Zhang Tianai's father, Zhang Xun and Zhang Village Master for many years. In places like Longyou, every day is a life of licking blood from a knife. These people will definitely not live today without twenty lives. Anyone who picks up one can be counted. Now, today, they come to Chang'an to sell furs, and it is really difficult for them to be kind to a tooth.
But there was no way. As the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks and eliminated the border troubles, their smuggling business could not be completed, and it became a thorn in the side of the Tang Dynasty. Maybe when the court took action, it would send troops to level their village. It was a time of panic. As the leader of the village, Zhang Xun originally thought about continuing the relationship between Li Ji and asking him to help Zhangjiazhai turn bandits into soldiers and cleanse them up. But he didn't expect that Li Ji used a Tai Chi technique and ignored him.
This incident made Zhang Xun look down in front of the leader under his command. Zhang Xun became anxious and became ill. He lay in bed all day long and was no longer in charge of the director.
The young and strong villages, with women and children, and more than 2,000 people, should not be left without a decision for a day. Zhang Xun had no son, only Zhang Tianai, the daughter. Although the leaders were dissatisfied, they were even more dissatisfied with each other, and finally they pushed Zhang Tianai to temporarily pass the power of the village leader together.
The channels for smuggling were gone, and the furs were piled up in the village, and they were already at the point where they could not be put down. Seeing that winter was approaching, the furs in the village could not be exchanged for money, and the grain and rice were less than a day, and they had no money to buy them, so they were so anxious that the whole village had no choice but to go around. Zhang Tianai had no choice but to buy them. Then he decided to bring all the leaders to Chang'an to sell furs. Relying on the years of relationship between Zhangjiazhai and Mayi County Magistrate, the Magistrate of Mai took the risk and sent a road guide to Zhang Tianai. Zhangjiazhai and others formed a caravan, and brought one-third of the furs in the village, all the way from Mayi to Chang'an.
Although the people in Zhangjiazhai are all from horse bandits, their majesty is also divided into places. After entering Chang'an City, a group of people were blinded by the prosperity of Chang'an. After hitting walls everywhere in the West Market, these tough horse bandits became more docile than the people. They only wanted to avoid disasters and not cause trouble, and sold all the furs they brought, so they bought some grain to return to the village to spend the winter.
They had dealt with Ergou yesterday and knew that he was just a tooth, but even if Ergou was just a tooth, he knew a lot of news that the leaders did not know and could not be offended. Moreover, the horse bandits also had a rule that no matter how their own people argued, the leader must be followed in front of outsiders. This simple truth is also one of the most important reasons why Zhangjiazhai can survive in the cracks and stay in Longyou until now.
"Miss Zhang, I'm here to congratulate you." Ergou bowed and smiled, "When I helped you rent this yard yesterday, I heard a few chats, which seemed to be worrying about the sales of fur. By the way, today I met a noble man who was about to buy tanned leather. But he said that as long as the goods are good, money is not a problem, just order money in front of you! Do you think I have to congratulate you?"
When the people in the room heard this, they all showed joy. Zhang Tianai asked quickly: "I wonder how much shame he wants when you are talking about? Our beauty is the best, and he will definitely like it!"
Ergou's eyes rolled when he heard this and said ambiguously: "This noble man, he is busy with business. He handed over all the matters of buying the skin. As for how much it takes, he didn't say it, even ten or eight cars might have to get it. As for the quality of the things, you should naturally say that your things are good, but whether they are good or bad..." Ergou cleared his throat for no reason and did not say it down. Zhang Tianai didn't react. Just as he was about to ask, Lao Hu had already understood the meaning, took out a piece of silver from his arms, stuffed it into Ergou's hand with a smile, and said, "Big brother, our skin is indeed the best, don't you think?"
After getting the silver, Ergou weighed it gently, and it was his usual money. He was happy in his heart and immediately said, "Of course this is the case, how could I come to find it? I will come here early tomorrow morning. You have prepared samples and I will take you to the noble mansion. The ugly words are ahead. I have taken this piece of silver and will do my best to tell you good things, but I can't guarantee whether they can like it. If the transaction fails, you can't complain, and the money will not be refunded."
Lao Hu quickly said, "This little money is for my brother to drink, it has nothing to do with anything else. I am already grateful for my brother if I can help me. Whether I succeed or not, I have nothing to do with my brother. If it succeeds, there will be rewards."
"Okay, my brother is a bright man." Ergou smiled and bowed to Zhang Tianai again, saying, "Then let's just say that. Everyone, Miss Zhang, I'll see you early tomorrow morning."
Ergou turned around and was about to leave. Lao Hu quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Ergou, can you reveal which noble person you are talking about? He wants to buy so many tanned leather, what are you doing?"
Ergou smiled and broke away from Lao Hu's hand, saying, "We are just a tooth, and we dare not ask about noble people. If you are so easy to inquire about, we dare not earn your money." Then he took out the silver and handed it to Lao Hu: "If you take the silver back, just pretend that we have never been here!"
"What are you doing?" Old Hu was afraid of losing his business, so he pushed the money back and said, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore, just wait. I hope my brothers will trust us and don't fool us."
Ergou took the money back, snorted softly, and said, "We are the ones who are too tits. I know you are from other places and I feel a little uneasy. You can go out and ask me about my Ergou and what reputation it is in the West City. Besides, our West City Teeth is famous in the West City Office. If I cheat you, you can sue the official."
After saying that, Ergou walked away with great strides. Lao Hu was sent to the door before returning. As soon as he entered the door, someone complained: "Lao Hu, if you can't speak, don't talk. This tooth man is kind enough to take care of the business. What do you think of others?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you, we are new to the place and are not familiar with each other, and we believe anyone who can say anything? We have three or four thousand chunks of skin and fur. Which noble family has such a big appetite can eat?"
"Then do you give him the money?"
"Nonsense, can he do his best to help without giving money? What if it is true!"
Seeing that it was about to start a quarrel again, Zhang Tianai stood up and said, "Don't worry whether it is true or not, let's take it seriously first. Cut out samples from the goods they bring, and take them all tomorrow. Take them from whoever they choose, don't complain. Go, go early after cutting them, and go early, tomorrow... if you are willing to go tomorrow, go all the way!"
This arrangement is very fair. No one has any objections, so they all made arrangements. Zhang Tianai rubbed his swollen temples, and suddenly the words his father told him to him when he was about to leave came out. He got up and returned to the bedside, and opened his bag.
There is a complete tiger skin inside the bag. When hunting this tiger, the arrows were shot in from the tiger's eyes. Therefore, there is no broken place on the tiger skin, which is a rare treasure. The tanned leather of three cars is not necessarily valuable as this tiger skin.
"Duke Cao's Mansion..." Zhang Tianai sighed and murmured: "Father, my daughter has been looking for him many times, but he has no intention of helping. After so long, will he still have to let his daughter go to the door and ask?"
The leaders were worried that Ergou would lie and didn't sleep well all night. When it was almost dawn, they just glanced at it. Unexpectedly, Ergou came to bark as soon as the sun rose. The leaders hurriedly got up, took their own samples, and freed up a ox cart to pull it. Under Ergou's leadership, they followed Zhang Tian's horse and came to Anyifang.
Before the Zhulu Hou Mansion was about to arrive, he met Feng Si at the corner of the street. Ergou quickly greeted him and the two of them talked for a few words. It turned out that Feng Si had withdrawn the money and was about to discuss the acquisition of the paper shop. When he learned that Li Mu had already aroused, Ergou felt relieved. He thought he had come earlier and planned to wait at the door.
When the two were talking, they didn't carry anyone on their backs. Zhang Tianai and the leaders next to them naturally heard some of them. Zhang Tianai was closest and could hear them clearly. Marquis Zhulu, Marquis, Iron Mass Bai... Several irrelevant words were linked together. Somehow, the shadows of Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Mu suddenly flashed through Zhang Tianai's mind.
Could it be them?
This time, Zhang Tianai came to Chang'an. In addition to selling fur, buying grain and rice, and asking for a second meeting with Li Ji again on her father's order, she was also among her plans to reminisce about the past with Bai Qiaoqiao. Although she and Bai Qiaoqiao had not been together for a long time, they got along very well and were as close as sisters. After Dingxiang parted, the contact was also broken. This time she came to Chang'an, she planned to find Bai Qiaoqiao. When she parted that day, she knew that Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao were going to Chang'an with Li Ji's army, and she also happened to see Li Ji. She was always thinking about finding an opportunity to find out where Bai Qiaoqiao was.
