Chapter 418 Senior, spring rain is as precious as oil
Pengcheng Lane.
Lu Mansion.
In the study, the oil lamp is bright.
Three maidservants were waiting quietly outside the door.
After a while, the sound of soft footsteps came closer from far away.
The maid saw the person coming and was about to salute. Hongmei waved her hand slightly and walked up to the front and asked: "When did the master come back?"
"Go back to Madam, a stick of incense. There are many.”
“Who is sending me?”
“It’s Mr. Shen”
With the help of the lantern, when the maid addressed Master Shen, the blush on her face was clearly visible.
Hongmei smiled.
"Prepare some snacks at home in the future. Next time Mr. Shen comes again, we have to thank you."
The maidservant was excited: "Yes, yes, madam, we are here Then go and get ready.”
Seeing the maid leave, Hongmei couldn’t help but laugh.
"We ask you to work on weekdays, but all of you are reluctant."
After finding a way to drive the animals, she looked back at the study with doubts in her eyes.
"Master Shen also sent it back yesterday, but he didn't enter the study..."
After pondering for a while, Hongmei took the tray from the maid behind her and ordered: "Go to the bathroom. Get ready and let the chicken soup warm in the kitchen."
"Madam, you..."
"Go, I'll wait here."
The maid is also a sensible person. She came back not long after she left, with an extra cloak in her hand, which she tied on Hongmei.
The divine punishment at the end of February, Liangyi shot back from time to time.
Hongmei's nose itched, so she hurriedly walked a few steps away and sneezed lightly.
Before she came back, the study door opened with a creak.
The two males and females looked at each other.
"Husband."
"How long have Mei'er been waiting? Come in quickly."
"Husband, I have just arrived. The ginger soup is still hot. Husband, please drink it first. . ”
Putting his hand on the cloak and feeling the coldness, Lu Buxian knew how long Hongmei had been standing and hurriedly pulled him into the study.
The study is warm.
Hongmei rubbed her nose to drive away the sneezes and served Lu Buxian to drink ginger soup.
"I'll come, I'll come."
Lu Buxian pressed Hongmei into the chair, held a bowl in his hand, scooped up a spoon, felt it against his lips, and then handed it to Hongmei's mouth.
“It’s rare for the Law Department to have a dinner tonight, which will delay a lot of time. Hongmei shouldn’t be waiting for me.”
"What are you talking about, husband?" Jiang Tang was spicy but sweet. Hongmei took the bowl and spoon and fed it back, "You are busy with national affairs. It is Hongmei's responsibility to take good care of your husband."
A Little A bowl of ginger soup couldn't stand up to two people drinking it, but it warmed the study.
"Husband, is something bothering you?"
"Why do you ask Hongmei like that?"
Hongmei smiled and said, "If there is nothing to worry about, husband should Went to the main hall.”
"It's not a worry," Lu Buxian thought for a while, then asked, "How is your business going now?"
Lu Mansion's business has a huge platform, but it doesn't do much. big.
At first, Hongmei was made ambitious by Lu Buxian’s marriage proposal.
Once she really lives in Lu Mansion, the strong woman will have much less to worry about.
Two and three months of rubbing shoulders with Lu Buxian also sharpened the qualities of a family member of an official - you can do business, but you can't focus on making money.
After calming down her thoughts for a moment, Hongmei said softly: "Not bad. I made small profits but quick turnover. I sold enough for people's livelihood needs and made a lot of profit. Oh, a few days ago, I made another donation in the name of the trading company. , the amount is not much..."
Lu Buxian listened carefully.
After more than ten years of hard work in the Department of Law, even if he doesn't know how to do business, if he has a better view of the overall situation, he will know the rise and fall of shops, and even life and death.
Life and death actually don’t matter.
For a family of three, the salary from the Ministry of Law is enough for food and clothing.
After becoming an official, he can even go one step further and make waves in the world of Heavenly Punishment Butlers, pursuing a prosperous path.
The reason why I ask is because of the red plums.
"Do you have any contact with Yun's Trading Company?"
Hongmei was startled, then nodded and said: "The trading companies all purchase goods from Yun's Company, and they are closely connected, but Yun's management is strict... ...What do you mean, husband?”
“You’re wrong,” Lu Buxian said with a smile, “I don’t want to give you anything. If you visit more often, you might gain something.”
Hongmei nodded thoughtfully.
"In that case, I will come to see you tomorrow... Husband, what do you want to see mainly?"
Lu Buxian thought for a while and said: "Things related to the Immortal City are all You can take a look and ask."
Hongmei was suspicious, but she didn't ask. She nodded and said, "Okay, husband, it's time to go and have a rest. I have to go to the office tomorrow."
< br>“Okay.”
chicken soup.
Bath room.
Bed.
Lu Buxian warmed up all night, and then was put into the carriage by Hongmei and went to the Yamen.
Back in the main hall, Hongmei sat and pondered.
"Husband, you seem to want me to catch something..."
A quarter of an hour later, the carriages and horses were ready, and she took the two maids and went straight to Yun's Trading House.
Forbidden Martial Arts Division.
Law Department.
The rhythm of the Law Department is that with a small number of people, Lu Buxian can keep busy, but with many people... Lu Buxian can make people busy.
Liu Gaosheng and Tuoba brothers went to the town headquarters to select candidates to go to Xinghai to guard.
Shen Qingyun took Du Kui Mai to sort out the information on the Immortal Market, the employment of body refiners and the research center, and prepared to take it to Xinghai for His Majesty and His Excellency to review.
Thanks to the grid method of switching from domestic sales to export sales and then to domestic sales, data organization is much easier than before, but there are too many things to handle.
After two hours of busy work, as noon approached, Shen Qingyun put down his form, rubbed his eyes and stretched.
“That’s almost it, let’s go and take a nap.”
As if he had received an amnesty, Ma Yi staggered when he stood up.
Du Kui was very happy to see it.
"Ma Yi, you need to practice more."
Ma Yi stabilized her body and said in a low voice: "Brother Shen, why are you greeting me at my weak point?"
< br>"Brother Mai, you don't understand me," Shen Qingyun smiled as he walked, "Don't you understand me, sir?"
Oh, it's an adult's handiwork.
Ma Yi rubbed her nose, poked her head into Lian Zhan's office and shouted: "Judge Lian, Governor Li, come out and relax."
"I'm still writing a letter of apology."
I started writing it yesterday!
Everyone looked at each other.
Mai was embarrassed and walked into the public room and said: "Judge Lian hasn't finished writing it yet? Yesterday I said I would help you write it, and I just have it now..."
"There is no need to help you with the self-examination letter," Lian Zhan paused. Looking at the person, he sighed softly, "I still have more than two thousand sticks over there in the inner prison. If Mai is willing, go and get it for me."
Li Fei, who was opposite, heard this and lowered his head into his crotch.
"So many?" Mai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Eh? You..." Lian Zhan was startled, but Mai They all left, "Mom, you really took it for me, how many kowtows should I give him?"
Li Fei hurriedly asked: "Judge Lian, has anyone experienced the legal system?"
When Lian Zhan heard this, his face changed suddenly, he got up and chased after him.
"Brother Mai, Brother Mai..."
Back garden.
Du Kui accompanied Shen Qingyun to make colorful sunshine.
Shen Qingyun was too lazy to shout one, two, three, four, and Du Kui didn't want to shout either, but after silently doing a few four beats, something didn't feel right, so he could only silently chant to Shen Qingyun while still chatting with Shen Qingyun.
"Brother Shen, is this what happened with Judge Lian?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingyun couldn't spare the time to touch his nose, so he could only nod his head and said: "Please hurry up. It's better to leave behind than to come back and see it in person Fight."
"Hey, this honest judge..." Du Kui wanted to laugh, "but he never thought of being so upright."
Then you have to ask, Ren Maiyong. What kind of bribe...
Shen Qingyun was resentful, and before he could say a few words of praise, someone came from afar.
"Brother Shen? Brother Shen is really back!"
The one coming is Horse Supervisor Liu Qian and Liu Supervisor.
As soon as Shen Qingyun saw the person, he thought of the donkey and asked with a smile: "Master Liu, what does that little guy look like?"
"The official is here for this matter." We haven’t seen each other for more than a month. Liu Qian has gained a little weight and is energetic. He said with a smile, "Brother Shen, if you have time, can you come over and take a look?"
Shen Qingyun looked at Du Kui.
Du Kuijiao smiled and said: "I'll go and see the strange things too."
At the horse farm during the New Year, there were a lot more people and animals.
Most of them are horses and donkeys, not limited to male or female.
Glancing from a distance, Shen Qingyun felt that the scene was so spectacular that it was a bit eye-catching.
"Master Liu, it seems that the progress is quite fast?"
Liu Qian is also a smart man. He knows the elegant meaning of the voice and hurriedly replied: "Although the pony and donkey have not yet grown up, there is a supply of spiritual food from the Immortal Department. Now we can see the clues, and Brother Shen will know it at a glance."
When he entered the stable, a strange beast caught his eye.
The whole body is black and brown, but the circles under his eyes are surrounded by white hair. He is very... cute.
"This is..." Du Kui said in surprise, "This is unheard of."
Shen Qingyun had seen a lot in his previous life and didn't find it strange.
"Looking at his appearance, he looks more like a horse. He has high shoulders, slightly short ears, and strong tendons in his limbs. He is really good looking."
Liu Qian complimented: "Brother Shen is indeed Experts, this beast is bold and alert, has great endurance and strength, but it has a bad temper. , even though it’s only less than three months old, most stallions of three or four years old would not dare to mess with it.”
“It’s different after eating spiritual food.” Shen Qingyun asked with a smile. Try using it?”
When it comes to this, Liu Qian’s eyes are full of admiration.
"I've tried it, and I'm an expert in both riding and farming. I'm not particular about what I eat, I just eat slowly. Brother Shen, if this beast is extensively cultivated, its future is limitless!"
Shen Qingyun He smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Liu for discovering a treasure for Qin Wu."
Liu Qian was so embarrassed that he waved his hands repeatedly : "It's all thanks to Brother Shen..."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Shen Qingyun didn't even have time to hide, so he turned around and left, "Mr. Liu, when you have time, sort out the information and submit it to me when the time comes. Go up and say goodbye."
"Hey, Brother Shen, there is one more thing..."
"Self-determination, self-determination..."
Shen Qingyun ran very fast.
Du Kui started gossiping. After hearing what Liu Qian said, he hurriedly caught up to tell him.
"It's about Shouyang Mountain."
"Shouyang Mountain?" Shen Qingyun asked doubtfully, "Isn't Shouyang Mountain a cattle ranch?" In Brother Shen's eyes , the four major sects are not as good as cows!
Du Kui smiled tenderly: "I changed to raising donkeys a few years ago. A lot of them died, so they sent people to Jinwusi to learn from them."
Shen Qingyun was surprised: "Why don't we just raise donkeys? "
"That's not to say," Du Kui sighed, "Qin Wu has lost another treasure."
Hearing this, Shen Qingyun felt a little disappointed.
"I wonder if the trading company has time to collect the cattle..."
Although I don't like it, the feedback from my colleagues in the department is still quite good.
What is more important is naturally the Wuhua Stone in Shouyang Mountain.
"But it's not my turn to worry about such an important weapon of the country..."
The two walked around the Koi Lake and saw Mai and Lian Zhan coming towards them.
Mai's expression was normal, Lian Zhan... kept wiping tears.
Shen Qingyun and Du Kui looked at each other.
"Is this...not a substitute?"
"It should be, but...it won't make you cry, right?"
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingyun stepped forward. Concerned: "Brother Lian, what's going on?"
"You, ask him!"
Shen Qingyun looked at Mai: "No replacement?"
Ma Yi muffled: "Replacement."
Shen Qingyun He hurriedly asked: "Are you injured?"
Ma Yi was moved: "Brother Lao Shen is thinking about me, but my buttocks are a little itchy."
Oh, praise Mai for not leaking!
"Then..." Shen Qingyun glanced at Lian Zhan, then looked at Mai.
Ma Yi touched her nose and said: "After Commander Mo finished the fight, he said that the substitution did not count."
Then the substitution was not in vain?
Shen and Du were shocked.
"Brother Lian is crying because he feels sorry for Mai..."
After trying to understand the joint, Shen Qingyun hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Lian, don't take it to heart. Mai has a lot of muscles and bones, let alone two thousand sticks. , even four thousand doesn’t matter.”
“ It's okay for him, but it falls on me!"
Shen Qingyun was stunned: "What, what's going on?"
Lian Zhan burst into tears: "He was in vain. Not to mention, in turn, it’s doubled here!”
"Brother Lian, this kickback is really real..."
Shen Qingyun could still bear it, but Du Kui beside him ran away like an old hen.
"Judge Lian, please stop crying," Mai hesitated for a moment, then began to unbuckle his belt, "I'll give you another rope."
A man will receive four thousand sticks, so you give him a rope. Son?
Even the ground rope won’t work!
Shen Qingyun was still complaining when he saw Lian Zhan stop sobbing and gritted his teeth to take the rope.
"Ma Yi, I beg you, please don't interfere in this matter."
Ma Yi said shamefully: "I am also wrong."
"No, no, no, It's all my fault," Lian Zhanye I don’t know whether he was self-reflecting or criticizing Huaihuai. He gnashed his teeth and said, "I am the original sin. I am too stupid. In the future... hum!"
Brother Lian finally discovered the brilliance of his own humanity...
< br>
Shen Qingyun looked at Lian Zhan's back and paid attention.
While watching, a doubt emerged.
"Is the ground rope so easy to use?"
After lunch, it was busy again.
“Brother Shen, the forms in Xianshi have been sorted out.”
Du Kui handed over a stack of papers, and Shen Qingyun took it, looked at it, and said, "Let's go to the fairy market for a stroll."
Ma Yi stood up excitedly and looked back out the window: "I'm afraid it's going to rain. ."
"Then Brother Mai will stay to sort it out?"
"Go together, go together!"
The fairy market is more popular than before.
Especially once the shops of Guixu Sect, Beast Sect and Five Sects were completed, their influence expanded several times.
There are monks coming and going, mostly casual cultivators, but there are also monks with sect status who come here because of their reputation.
As soon as Shen Qingyun arrived at the door, he was attracted by a group of monks.
"They are..."
Lu Buxian explained: "They are patrol teams spontaneously organized by members of the Beast Sect, led by deacons to maintain discipline."
Shen Qingyun didn't speak after hearing this.
Things like law enforcement power are important...
But if the big guys are willing to strengthen mutual trust and make the win-win situation bigger and stronger, there is nothing wrong with it.
“It must be more than just the Beast Sect, right?”
Lu Buxian nodded.
"Both the Guixu Sect and the Five Sects are involved. Each sect rotates for ten days. Its main responsibility is to cooperate with the management of the Forbidden Martial Arts Department."
That's even less of a problem.
But it is not without problems.
“Judging from this trend,” Lu Buxian sighed, “it is imperative to expand the Fairy City. Unfortunately, most of Furong Garden has been occupied. If we move out, it will be a lot of trouble.”< br>
Shen Qingyun nodded and continued to observe.
The shops in the fairy market have already been sold out.
Entering Bailaizhang, he even saw the street stall area that he had never considered before.
The street stall area is laid out in a square grid with white lines, one stall per square, and numbers are written outside the squares.
In addition, there is a black sign hanging in a conspicuous place of the stall. The numbers on it are written in white and correspond to the square numbers one by one.
"The management is pretty good." Shen Qingyun praised, "Yan Xing and Qiu are getting more and more comfortable."
Lu Buxian smiled and said: "It's mainly because Qiu Qianqiang is busy here. It is said that people from Qin Fuyin have come many times and want to move the management of the fairy market stalls to the newly built Nanshi..."
< br>Shen Qingyun and his party watched and chatted, matching the information recorded in the form with the fairy city one by one.
Just as I was about to walk out of the street stall area, I found that the corner in front of me was surrounded.
Looking closer, there are two stalls surrounded.
Both stalls have banners hanging on them.
One of them wrote: "Asking for Heaven."
The other wrote: "Asking for the blind."
Shen Qingyun tasted the product and felt his scalp numb.
"Isn't it necessary to blow out your brains?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at his two colleagues.
"Eh? Is it Tian...Senior Tian Yanzi?"
Lü Buxian was also surprised when he heard this.
He knew that Shen Qingyun was in Motianfang City and asked an expert to tell his fortune for him, and it was ridiculously accurate.
"Is it really him?"
Shen Qingyun nodded, hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and looked at the other person at the same time...
He didn't dare to step forward.
“It’s that expert!”
Sitting in the stall next to Tian Yanzi was the old man Shen Qingyun had explored with his spiritual consciousness at the gate of the city.
Shen Qingyun doesn't know the fortune-telling abilities of the two, but if they really want to fight...
"I don't know if senior Tian Yanzi can calculate that he will be in a bloody disaster..."
Shen Qingyun sighed secretly, watching and listening to the explanations from the crowd.
“Which one of them came first?”
“You have to ask me, I was here long ago, the two of them came together, and they even used a pretense together. As soon as the pretense came out, the two of them Right!"
"One asked for the sky, and the other asked for Yu blind, what a fate!"
"This old monk is not blind, why ask for blindness? ?”
"I didn't expect that monks can also scold mothers, and their level is not as good as mine..."
...
Shen Qingyun listened for half of it, then looked at Tian Yanzi and wiped his mouth.
"It's okay if you can't beat him. It seems that senior Tian Yanzi hasn't scolded him either..."
While still thinking, the two started to face each other again.
Tian Yanzi held back his anger and said: "Since my fellow Taoist has no intention of causing trouble, why not change the place?"
The old man said lightly: "There is no more money."
"There are no less than a hundred people around now. Just count it as a friend, the street vendor fee is more than enough..."
"Why should I change it?"
"Young Daoist is obviously targeting poor Dao!"
"It is good for young people to be confident, but don't use it in the wrong place."
"I am angry!"
......
Seeing that Tian Yanzi's breath was unstable Okay, Shen Qingyun is deeply afraid of getting out of trouble Luozi could only step forward and smile: "I didn't expect to meet senior Tian Yanzi here again. I'm so polite to you."
Tian Yanzi was impatient at first and just wanted to take a glance at Shen Qingyun to finish...
The glance that passed by suddenly turned back and fell on Shen Qingyun.
“Is it him?”
The memories of the shameful and great calamity emerged, and Tian Yanzi’s toes trembled slightly.
But soon, his mind was occupied by another thing.
“I wanted to count him out at that time, but the result was...”
As a result, he couldn't see the fate of this person at all, so he could only blame others!
At that time, the boss was hanging on the wall behind him, and with the disaster approaching, he had no intention of looking around. At this moment...
Tian Yanzi squeezed out a smile: "So it's you , I remembered it.”
“It’s an honor for me, junior,” Shen Qing. Yun cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Senior, if you have time, you can move elsewhere, and I will arrange everything."
Looking at the official robe on Shen Qingyun, Tian Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at After glancing at his opponent, he nodded and said, "That's fine..."
Before he finished speaking, his opponent stood up, took off his disguise, and replaced it with another one.
“Ask for Tian?!”
Tian Yanzi’s face turned pale with anger, he pointed at his old enemy and trembled: “Aren’t you targeting me on purpose?”
The old man said calmly: "If you had left earlier, I wouldn't have taken it out just now. I have tolerated you for a long time."
"I am so angry!"
Shen Qingyun didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Senior Tian Yanzi, calm down, it's going to rain, junior will lead the way..."
"Huh, I don't have the same experience as you!" Tian Yanzi walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
The old man glanced at the sky and said calmly: "You don't have to leave, the rain won't fall."
Tian Yanzi began to shiver again.
Hearing this, Shen Qingyun stepped forward and looked at the sky. After a while, he turned back and smiled at the old man.
"Senior, spring rain is as precious as oil."
