Chapter 272 Exchange
On that day, Zhao Zhen secretly sealed Liu Tang, Shi Qian, Tang Long, and Pei Xuan. After lunch, he arranged for the heroes to go to the military camp with Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiao With seventy-two people as companions, Zhao Zhen took his wives and concubines, and ten Forbidden Army soldiers as guards, and the group rode to the county town to visit his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.
On the way, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She held the reins tightly with both hands and spoke less.
Zhao Zhen saw him, drove his horse to Hu Sanniang's side, and said softly: "Sanniang, don't worry, the eldest wife, Cheng Waner, and the three of them have also paid their respects to their parents. My family was originally just a home in the head of Guizhou. Over the years, We have just got property, and we are from a poor family, so there are few rules. My parents, brother and sister-in-law are good people, so Sanniang doesn't have to worry."
Ji Minghan and Ji Minghuan who were riding on the horse also ran away. He came over and comforted Hu Sanniang for a few words, and then Hu Sanniang relaxed a little.
The group entered the county seat and went straight to Zhao Jin's residence.
The mighty motorcade came from a distance, and Zhao Jin saw it early. By the time Zhao Zhen and his party stopped, Zhao Jin had already greeted his mother Li E and walked out of the counter. Zhao Zhen quickly dismounted and called himself father and mother.
The family walked through the shop and entered the back hall. Zhao Zhen led Hu Sanniang forward to meet Li E. Li E smiled and said: "Last time, I heard Erlang said that he wanted to marry a beautiful girl. I never thought He is so tall. Standing next to you, Erlang is a lot shorter, and your two children must not be short either."
Listening to Li E's joke, Hu Sanniang felt anxious. lay down.
At night, after a family dinner, Zhao Zhen and others returned to the Nanshi house to rest.
That night, Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian took Zhao Zhen back to the east chamber early, and Ji Qingwan had to arrange for Hu Sanniang to stay next to Ji Xuan in the west chamber.
Sure enough, that night, the twin sisters tried their best, and the three of them struggled for half the night before falling asleep. Exactly:
Tingting Chuchu, jade\fairy girl. It’s so cute, so praiseworthy!
On the second day, Zhao Zhen and his party returned to Bailiu Village.
In the next few days, Zhao Zhen drank and ate meat with his brothers every day and competed in martial arts. Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Zhao Zhen ordered his troops and horses and set off for Hanji Township.
It was the Cold Food Festival, and people on the road didn't light fires. They only ate dry food, pickles, vegetables and the like. It was getting dark, so the group arrived at Hanji Township. I don't know if it was because of the night, but Zhao Zhen just felt that the atmosphere in Hanji Township was much more solemn. Zhao Zhen and his party were planning to enter Hanji Township. Song Shiqin and Song Jinhong were waiting outside the township gate.
After exchanging pleasantries, Song Shiqin led Zhao Zhen to a camp that had been set up first. Along the way, the townspeople were carrying lanterns and coming and going in a hurry, looking busy.
Song Shiqin said: "Brother Zhao Zhen, please rest here today. I will send someone some hot water, soup cakes and other things. Brother, rest early today. I will ask you to talk in detail tomorrow."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Song, go and do your own business. I don't need to worry here."
Song Shiqin cupped his hands and left in a hurry.
Zhao Zhen ordered everyone to check the camp and found nothing wrong, so he arranged to have a meal and rest.
Early on the second day, Zhao Zhen and others also got up early and dressed themselves up.
Song Qian, the guard whom I met earlier, brought meals and invited Zhao Zhen to discuss matters.
Zhao Zhen gave a few instructions to everyone, took Liu Tang with him, got up and followed Song Qian. While walking on the road, Zhao Zhen observed carefully and saw that although the people in the town were coming and going in a hurry, they did not show any signs of panic and seemed to have already adapted. After seeing the ceremony, Song Shiqin said: "Brother Zhao Zhen, did you have a good rest last night?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Nothing happened last night. It's pretty safe. I wonder what brother Song has planned for today?"
Song Shiqin asked: "Brother, this is not urgent. After dinner, I will go to Qudui with my brother to have a look. , I will make a plan then. I wonder if my brother has any extra Tridacna magic weapon?"
Zhao Zhen had already thought that although he brought the sergeant here this time, he did not intend to bring it with him. Pile of fog. He only took eleven people including Liu Tang, Hu Sanniang, Dong Laodao, Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian, together with himself, for a total of fourteen people. Each person holds either a sapodilla dagger or a mahogany sword, or wears a rosary made of eighteen-dimensional clams.
There are naturally enough magical instruments, and Zhao Zhen also intends to sell them, so he took out a string of first-class clam beads from his arms and said: "I have a few clam beads here, which are only first-class Buddhist treasures. It has only one characteristic: it can emit Buddha light, which can help people calm down and suppress demons and ghosts."
As he spoke, he handed the rosary to Song Shiqin. Song Shiqin took it, felt it carefully in his hand, and handed it to the person aside. Song Jinhong. After the two looked at it, Song Jinhong said: "It is indeed a magic weapon. I wonder how many of them Zhao Lizheng can sell? Is there anything better?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "That clam is mostly a first-level material. More than 600 beads were made, but only more than 140 beads can emit Buddha light. Now only seven pieces of the Eighteen Realms have been made. "rosary beads."
Song Shiqin said: "Brother, the selling price of weapons of this level is usually upwards of 600. There is no market for magical weapons except here. My brother originally used the eight-tailed spirit fish. The converted silver money is less than 2,000 guan, how about I buy it for 400 guan each?”
Afraid of Zhao Zhen’s reluctance, Song Jinhong immediately said: “The Buddha’s light in this rosary has a protective effect, and it can indeed protect you if you hold it. If the soul causes damage, it would be better if it is made into a weapon. The protective power of this Buddha's light is probably not satisfactory."
It's not easy to refute, after all, what Song Jinhong said is true.
Song Shiqin said: "Brother, what is the price?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I can sell the seven rosary beads to Brother Song. Put them all together and ask for 3,000 beads. However, I don't want cash here. Please replace them with cotton or cotton cloth. But the price must be discounted." "You two have been growing cotton here for many years, and I think it would be best to replace it with this."
Song Shiqin and Song Jinhong looked at each other, "Let's calculate it this way." : "I do expect that there are some exotic cottons here, and they have been made into cloth for a long time. The output of these exotic cottons is not large, and the cotton cloth is naturally small, and it is even rarer on the market. If Zhao Lizheng needs it, I can naturally exchange it here, but the quantity is Not much, most of them have to use ordinary cotton cloth."
Zhao Zhen nodded and agreed. It was an unexpected surprise to get this result.
Song Shiqin said: "The transaction is not urgent. I will take my brothers to Qudui first to have a look. Today at noon time, we will enter the fog. At this time, the Yang Qi is at its strongest, although it is difficult to distinguish between morning and dusk in the fog. , after exploration, it is true that the ghosts and ghosts are the weakest in the fog at noon."
Zhao Zhen took out the other six strings of clam beads in his arms, handed them to Song Shiqin, and said, "Brother Song, I will use these beads first. The trip to the pile is over, let’s start trading again.”
Song Shiqin did not shirk, reached out to take it, and said: "Thank you brother, I really need it here, so you're welcome. Brother, please rest assured, this transaction will definitely not treat you badly."
