Chapter 400 Arrival in Yangzhou
Zhu Mingqing stood up and looked down at the other person, as if this would allow him to take the main position.
"I don't care how you look at it, but you can't look at it like that just now."
In Luo Tingshan's eyes, she has always been calm and intelligent, no matter what the situation.
But at this moment, his slightly confused look was quite interesting.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Okay, as you say."
The other party's easy-going manner made Zhu Mingqing feel that he was bullying someone, but when he thought about the man's eyes just now, they were more affectionate than his own peach blossom eyes, tsk!
Damn it!
"Master, Madam, it's time for breakfast."
Jiang Feng didn't want to interrupt their affectionate gaze, but he saw that they were not hungry. The brothers had been hiding in the woods all night and were starving.
"Eat!" Zhu Mingqing shook his sleeves, turned around and left, even forgetting to pick up the silver needle beside him.
Luo Tingshan smiled faintly and bent down to pick it up.
Jiang Feng curled his lips helplessly. This smile was too cheap.
After leaving Jizhou, they went to Yuzhou and stopped in Wutan again. They visited almost all the forests, and all of Luo Tingshan's men were mobilized.
Zhu Mingqing also hired a lot of people to find more than 2,000 different living creatures.
I never thought that the animals that occupy the largest proportion are various insects, including butterflies, bees, dragonflies, grasshoppers... countless.
In fact, everyone was very curious about where all the actions ended up, but thinking about the lady's mysterious look, saying, "Don't ask too many questions, just take the money," no one spoke.
When you take money from others, you should keep your mouth shut.
In this way, the group headed south again and finally arrived at Yangzhou City.
It was summer when we left Guancheng.
It has only been more than 20 days now, but the temperature in Yangzhou has dropped sharply and everyone has to wear autumn clothes.
"The weather is a bit weird." Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Mingqing lifted the curtain, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and frowned.
Luo Tingshan had never encountered such weather in July or August. "Let's go into the city first, and then send someone out to investigate."
The carriage followed the team in front and gradually entered Yangzhou City.
This place is completely different from Guancheng. The walls are made of gray bricks and tiles, the restaurants are exquisitely decorated, and the people on the street are dressed more brightly.
The gurgling river flows through the streets, willow branches hang down, and people are washing clothes by the river.
The boatmen also run some businesses, and their shouts are accompanied by the sounds of children playing in the alleys, giving the impression that they are living and working in peace and contentment.
It is worthy of being the wealthy city of Yangzhou.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn. The waiter responded with a smile and talked about the bustling prosperity of Yangzhou City all the way. After taking the guests to the room, he prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Feng suddenly stopped him. "Excuse me, what's going on with this cold weather?"
The waiter's face changed, and he sighed, "We don't know what caused this, but it's been raining and sunny intermittently for half a month now. Today is just a coincidence, and you are all experiencing bad temperatures. But don't worry, it will get better in two days."
Seeing that they were silent, the waiter said, "If you have no other instructions, I will be leaving first."
The door opened and closed again. After making sure the footsteps had faded away, Jiang Feng said, "It shouldn't be serious. Madam and Master, don't worry too much. By the way, how long will we stay here?"
Luo Tingshan also looked at Zhu Mingqing.
"Yangzhou City is the richest city, so there will definitely be many merchants. The Lin family is also entrenched here, so we'll stay for half a month." Zhu Mingqing said, "Also, I heard that the Feng family, the largest medicine merchant in Southern Xia, is in Yangzhou, so I plan to ask Master Lin to introduce them to us."
Luo Tingshan paused, "Feng family? You want to cooperate with them?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly: "It's not impossible."
Seeing that his expression was not right, Zhu Mingqing was puzzled: "What's the problem again?"
Luo Tingshan was silent for a moment, then replied, "No problem!"
Zhu Mingqing didn't quite believe it, but he didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to ask any further questions.
When you come to Yangzhou City, you naturally want to go out for a walk. Moreover, there is no curfew here at night, making it more prosperous than other places.
After dinner, Zhu Mingqing took his men out, and Luo Tingshan stayed in the room.
I opened the window and looked at the people coming and going outside. Even though the weather was bad, they were still busy trying to survive.
Whenever he saw this scene, Luo Tingshan would unconsciously feel a sense of responsibility. He wanted to protect the smiles on the faces of these people and not let them be displaced. Also, those children should grow up without worries.
"Master, are you really not going to tell Madam?" Jiang Feng folded his arms across his chest and stood behind Luo Tingshan, guarding him.
Luo Tingshan sneered: "What are you talking about? Are you saying that the Feng family hates the Luo family, or that the Feng family also contributed to the Luo family's misfortune?"
Hearing this, Jiang Feng remained silent, but in his heart he felt sorry for his master.
The old lady's death was not caused by the master, so why should he be hostile to the entire Luo family until now?
Moreover, there was once a problem with the medicinal materials that the Feng family submitted to the court. If it were not for the master and the old prince's hard work, how could they have been safe until now?
Now he is even standing on the side of the Third Prince and turning a blind eye to the Luo family.
They are ruthless and ungrateful, and sooner or later they will regret it.
"Madam..." Luo Tingshan pondered, "No need to say more, she knows what's going on."
She always knows clearly who is suitable to cooperate with and who should be avoided.
Early the next morning, Zhu Mingqing was going to visit the Lin family, but unfortunately, Luo Tingshan fell ill.
"You're too weak!" Zhu Mingqing shook his head and sighed, "You're not allowed to go out for the next few days. Take good care of yourself. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Hearing this, Luo Tingshan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and slowly said three words: "You are so nice!"
"Stop!" Zhu Mingqing felt that his eyes were not right again, and immediately looked towards the door. As he walked, he said, "Since you were sick and asked someone to find animals for me, I will go to the kitchen to make you something delicious. You stay in your room!"
The door slammed shut.
Looking at the other person's hurriedly leaving back, for some reason, Luo Tingshan felt even more secretly happy.
At night, Jiang Feng returned with his group, but their carriage was no longer able to fit in the backyard of the inn.
Today was a fruitful day. They directly found a merchant in Yangzhou City who ran an animal business. The merchant had extensive connections, and in just half a day, they found hundreds of rare animals.
"Madam, these are harmless. The merchant also said that he could find some large animals. Do you want them?" Jiang Feng confided.
At the same time, the merchant encountered a big business, and he was so happy that he made an appointment with his friends to have a drink.
After three rounds of drinks, he said excitedly, "Once this deal is done, I'm going to quit!"
Someone immediately understood what was going on and inquired, "Sixth Brother, where did this big merchant come from?"
