There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The potter was taken aback when he saw this.

"Are you female?"

It turned out to be a young woman who was wearing a coir raincoat to hide her appearance.

Her appearance is extremely beautiful, she has the beauty of a classical woman, a very intellectual and gentle beauty, but under her dignity, there seems to be a hint of spirituality hidden.

Seeing the strange look in the potter's eyes, the woman smiled gently, revealing two beautiful dimples.

"Why, women can't go up the mountain, can't they go out?"

The pottery merchant waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's not true, women are the same as men, they can do anything... It's just that it's not safe for you to be alone as a woman in this barren mountain, and besides, you mentioned us just now. Leading the way here, are you not afraid that we are bad people?"

The woman turned her finger to the other people sheltering from the hail under the rock path, and said, "Who says I'm alone? These are all my fellow travelers... As for bringing you here to shelter from the rain, it's not easy for everyone to go out. Each other? If you can help, you will naturally help."

Although she said these words plainly, both the temperament and the connotation in the words were extremely heart-wrenching.

The pottery merchant nodded and praised: "Miss is open-minded and courageous, which is really admirable."

The woman blinked and said: "After talking for a long time, it seems that you haven't thanked the little girl, sir!"

The pottery merchant patted his forehead suddenly, and said: "I am to blame for my negligence. Thank you for your kindness in leading the way."

The woman showed her face and said, "Sir, you don't have to be polite."

Both of them looked at each other and laughed.

The woman smiled and said to the potter: "May I ask this gentleman, what do you do when you go out with so many people?"

The potter said calmly, "Going out to do business."

"what business?"

The pottery merchant stroked his tall nose: "It's a big business of transporting grain from south to north."

After hearing what the pottery said, the people behind the woman showed expressions of disdain.

In times of chaos, grain is sometimes more valuable than gold these days.

In particular, the south has developed rapidly under the management of Xuzhou Dow in recent years, the economy has soared, and the grain production is abundant. It can be called the land of abundance and the hometown of wealth.

Although there is a lot of grain, Dow's management is also very strict. Import and export matters are subject to extremely strict audits. The grain from the south is transferred to the north of Qingzhou for sale. Those who can do this business are by no means ordinary people.

Look at the appearance of these people... they can't even find a place to avoid hailstorms, they are so stupid, they don't seem to know how to dry food.

But that girl is the only one who doesn't doubt the potter.

She looked the potter up and down for a while, and said, "Looking at Mr.'s appearance and accent, he is indeed from the south... He must have come from the south of the Yangtze River, right? The food over there is very good."

The potter secretly praised the woman for her meticulous observation.

The pottery merchant looked at the woman and the people behind him: "Where is the girl? What are you doing going out? Are you going on an outing?"

The woman was taken aback when she heard the words, then covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sir, don't be joking, deep in the mountains and wilderness, who comes to this place for an outing? The little girl is also a businessman."

The pottery merchant suddenly said "Oh": "What kind of business does that girl do?"

The woman didn't hide her secrets, and said: "The little girl's ancestral home is in the north, and she is in the horse trade business."

The potter suddenly realized, and said: "The business of selling horses? I'm afraid it's not ordinary people who can do this business. The girl must have a good family, but it's really admirable for such a rich family to come out to do things in person. , is really a heroine among women."

When the woman heard the words, for some reason, she showed a wry smile. It seemed that there was something unspeakable.

When I was young, after the hail stopped, I saw a woman asking the pottery merchant, "May I ask where you can go to discuss business?"

"Qihe."

The woman showed surprise on her face: "What a coincidence? I'm going to Qihe as well."

The potter said with a smile: "My girl and I hit it off right away. Since we are both in business, we might as well go together together."

Chapter 673 Going Together

After hearing what the pottery said, the woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, but the hesitation was only for a moment, and she smiled and said, "Okay."

The pottery merchant nodded, turned his head to look at the group of subordinates led by the woman, and saw that they all had unkind eyes and were quite on guard, and he had already confirmed her identity in his heart.

The pottery merchant came here based on the information brought back by the spies from the school affairs office, and there is no doubt that the woman in front of him is not only a promise in this caravan, but also experienced in the field, and she does not recognize her identity. Who could Zhen Mi, the eldest daughter of the famous Zhen family?

When I was young, when the hailstorm stopped, the group of people divided into two teams and headed for Qihe County mightily.

On the way, Zhen Mi asked Tao Shang, "Sir, you came to the north to do business, but the current Hebei is full of troops and horses. It's not a place where you live for a long time. Why do you dare to come here? Could it be that Mister is not afraid of military disasters?"

The pottery merchant laughed when he heard the words: "I am just an ordinary businessman, how can I not be afraid of the difficulty of fighting? It's just that in this world, where is there a peaceful paradise? Doing business is more or less risky, but it is also a helpless thing .”

Zhen Mi nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "It's not that there is no place to live. The southeast land where Mr. lives, isn't it a rich place in recent years? Later, over the years, the southeast became more and more prosperous, and residents from all over the world moved to Jinling and other places. My husband lives in such a precious place, so why bother to come out to the north to do business? After all, this war is not just for fun."

Tao Shang looked at Zhen Mi with a smile and said, "Listening to Miss, it seems that you are quite familiar with Prime Minister Tao?"

Zhen Mi hurriedly shook her head and said, "Of course not. I'm a merchant girl from the north. How can I recognize such a powerful person? I just listen to what others say."

The pottery merchant nodded suddenly, and said: "Let's put it this way, although I was lucky enough to be born in a land of abundance and happiness in my life, even if I live in the southeast, it is fine, but the business is passed down from my family. Since I am the current Patriarch , I have the responsibility to expand the family business. Although the Northland is dangerous, the war will inevitably lead to idle land and food shortages. This is also a great opportunity to expand the family business."

Speaking of this, the potter paused, and said: "Besides, the war in the north is endless, and the people are short of grain. I am here to do business, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as helping to restore the production of one side. Why not do it?"

Zhen Mi covered her mouth and smiled.

"Mr. is quite sophistry. He's obviously here to make money, but it's as if he came here to help."

The pottery merchant smiled lightly and said, "Everyone has their own thoughts... It's normal to not understand each other. Don't dare to ask Miss's name?"

"The little girl's surname is Zhen."

The potter pretended to be surprised, and said: "I heard that there is a big family in Zhongshan in the north. Although they are nobles, they have been merchants for generations. Yan's Zhen family, could it be...?"

"Oh!" Zhen Mi covered her mouth and looked at the pottery merchant in surprise, "Unexpectedly, Mr. still recognizes the Zhen family? The little girl is really honored."

The pottery merchant smiled and said, "Who doesn't know the Zhen family in Hebei? I heard that the head of the Zhen family is a woman, and she is also unparalleled in beauty and ability. She is the best in business in Hebei. ...Could it be that you are?"

When Zhen Mi heard that the pottery merchant praised her, she couldn't help feeling a little shy. She shook her head lightly and said, "Unexpectedly, my husband also knows Zhen Mi's name, but it's a pity that I'm not her..."

"then who are you?"
