Flowing Years

In Wuzhe Town, inside the inn.

As soon as Bu Jing walked out of the room, he saw that the door of the next door was also opened, and Qi Yuan came out with a grimace on his face.

"Second brother!" The corners of Qiyuan's mouth turned upwards, although his eyes were blue, he couldn't hide his joy.

Bu Jing nodded lightly, and asked casually: "Did you not sleep well?"

Qiyuan smiled, and before he could speak, Xiao Linzi came out with a disheveled expression on his face: "Master, you didn't sleep all night, and you painted all night."

Don't be surprised, look at Qiyuan's joyful face and you will understand.Coming from Mosang, Qiyuan has been in a sluggish mood, and it became like this overnight, obviously last night he promised him to return to Mosang in the future.Bu Jing opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, even if he was not, Qi Yuan took it seriously.

"Let's eat." Without surprise and expressionless, he turned and left.

Qi Yuan followed Bu Jing to eat, without thinking too much.

"Master, which way to go next?" Luo watched the two finish their breakfast, and asked.

"Dan Shui." Bu Jing raised his eyes.

Qiyuan paused for a moment, because Mosang people are afraid of water.Soon, Qiyuan also returned to normal color, but somehow felt that with this second brother around, he could feel at ease and not have to be afraid.

After getting on the boat, Qiyuan went to the attic to catch up on sleep.

"Luo, the emperor has arrived at Hudi, then... soon..." Bu Jing looked at the morning glow outside the door.

"Supposedly..." Luo looked at the expression on Bujing's face and hesitated, "That's right."

Luo stood behind Bu Jing, waiting for the next sentence, but found that he didn't speak any more, just looked at the sky in silence.

Not surprised and not understanding my emotions, like an autumn leaf about to fall to the ground, I should be at ease, but still feel a little melancholy.I have kept my name incognito for so many years, just for my brother, for Mo Sang.When it came, it hesitated.As the day drew nearer, my heart became more and more uneasy.In the end, what kind of eyes will he look at himself?Resentment, or indifference?However, I have only met him a few times, but I am no longer that kind of easy-going and stubborn.Bu Jing recalled the peaceful and alienated expression of that person, and smiled helplessly.

The boat sailed smoothly.Thousands of mountains are silent, and the flowing water is murmuring.In the breeze, the morning rises and the evening sets, everything is reflected in the fresh water, so peaceful.The boat glides by, and the water surface is lightly rippling, disturbing a pool of autumn water.

As night fell, it began to rain in bits and pieces.By morning, it has stretched into countless silver threads.

When Bo Yan entered the cabin, he saw Bai Zezhi sitting by the window wearing a thin cloak.

"I also said that you wouldn't think of adding a robe." Bo Yan said, while putting a stone bowl and a round wooden box on a low table.

"Ye Yuan gave it." Bai Zezhi looked at him.

Only then did Bo Yan have a clear expression.He walked across to Bai Zezhi and checked his pulse.

"I will arrange the adjusted prescription, but you have to pay attention to it yourself, don't be so careless." Bo Yan said.

Bai Zezhi nodded to show that he understood.

"Master," Mu Lan walked over holding a small charcoal stove, "I put it on the table."

Bo Yan nodded and pointed: "That's it."

"Amu," Bai Zezhi was happy, he hadn't seen Mu Lan leave the room in the past two days, "Are you finally getting used to it?"

Mu Lan scratched her head and sat aside: "Hehe."

Bo Yan sat cross-legged on the couch and looked at the fire in the small stove.The fire in the small furnace was burning warmly, and a small purple gold pot was placed on it.Bo Yan opened the round wooden box, and Bai Zezhi looked at it. There were still a few partitions in the round wooden box, and some things were placed deep and shallow.Bo Yan put the stone bowl on the couch, pinched a small handful of clouds and put it into the stone bowl, grabbed some abacus, flax, calendula, etc., put them in together, and pounded it gently with a pestle in circles.

Not long after, the faint freshness of the clouds, the rosin of linseed and flax, and the medicinal fragrance of calendula came gently.Bai Zezhi glanced at it from time to time.

"Is this a coincidence?" Lan Yu walked in, looked at Bo Yan and smiled.

Bo Yan smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to open the small Zijin pot, looked at it, and then closed it again.Mu Lan stepped forward and arranged the teacups one by one.The few things in the stone bowl were pounded and ground into powder, Bo Yan pounded it twice, and when he felt it was all right, he put down the pestle.Bo Yan divided the light green powder into teacups, twisted a few grains of salt, picked up the small purple gold pot and poured it in, and the room was immediately fragrant.

Everyone took a cup, slowly sipping tea and watching the rain.

In this rainy autumn, the people in Xuanyi had already rushed to Hudi day and night.The Qilong merchant ship docked at Hudi's wharf.After the ship docked, the man in Xuanyi changed his appearance into an ordinary peddler and disappeared at the pier where there were many people coming and going.The merchant ship docked for half a day, unloaded some goods and loaded them to Hudi's Qizhuang company, loaded some silk and satin produced by Hudi, and left Hudi's wharf.

The mediocre peddler walked into the Qizhuang firm, looked at two items at random, and then flashed into the inner room.

"Master, you have arrived." A fat middle-aged man was already waiting in the inner room of Qizhuang Commercial Bank.

The unremarkable merchant changed his outer shirt, revealing the original black clothes, and sat on the main seat.

The middle-aged man served tea and waited aside.

The man in Xuanyi took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and asked, "How much grain have you harvested in the towns around Bogu Town?"

The middle-aged man immediately joined in after hearing the words: "In the past six months, 30 shi of grain have been harvested within a radius of [-] miles of Bogu Town."

"Is anyone paying attention?" The man in Xuanyi still looked down at the bowl of tea in his hand.

"The subordinates have received daily income from each grain store in the past six months, accumulating daily, and have not found anyone else investigating this situation." The middle-aged man replied.

The man in Xuanyi nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "How much grain is harvested near Qinshui Pass?"

"The Qinshui Pass received only [-] stones within a radius of [-] li." The middle-aged man replied.

"Most of the grain and grass at Qinshui Pass are concentrated in the military camp, and there are mostly hills and ravines within a thousand miles. It took a lot of hard work to receive [-] shi." The man in Xuanyi glanced at the middle-aged man.

"Your subordinate is lucky!" The calm expression on the middle-aged man's face finally showed some joy.

"Notify me to send all the harvested grain to Mosang." The man in Xuanyi stroked the rim of his cup a few times, "Be sure to send it away within two days, and the whole country will collect the grain after two days."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man replied in a deep voice.

"The chess can be collected immediately." The man in Xuanyi put down the teacup.

"My lord, does Luo Na want..." the middle-aged man asked.

"Wait for now," the man in Xuanyi got up and smiled faintly, "When the net is collected, none of them will be able to escape."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man bowed his head, looked at the tired face of the lord on his face, and said, "Does the lord want to arrange to go to the other garden to rest?"

The man in Xuanyi looked at the sky outside the window, the sky was still so gloomy and gloomy in the afternoon, and the raindrops hit the roof tiles with rustling sounds.After a long time, the man in Xuanyi waved his hand.

The middle-aged man withdrew.

The man in Xuanyi turned over the green wall of Wuwa, and the one behind him immediately handed over an oiled paper umbrella.The man in Xuanyi opened the umbrella and walked slowly in the wet green alley.

Because of the rainy weather, I went out of the cold and narrow green alley, and turned to the bustling alley on weekdays, but I didn't see many people.Although the doors of the shops on both sides were open, they were deserted. The shopkeeper and the clerk were either looking at the door with their heads propped up, or they were just dozing off on the side.It is rare for one or two pedestrians to walk by on the street, and they also pass by in a hurry.

Although most of the face of the man in Xuanyi was covered by an oiled paper umbrella, his wide sleeves and curvy train, and his handsome posture were also eye-catching.

Passing by a silk and bamboo workshop, the man in Xuanyi paused for a moment, closed his umbrella and walked in.

There are various flutes in one corner of the shop, including white bamboo flute, purple bamboo flute, bitter bamboo flute, jade flute and ocarina.The man in Xuanyi swept his eyes one by one, and stopped on an old purple bamboo flute.

The man in Xuanyi reached for the flute, and stopped there halfway.Why buy a flute?Why do you want to buy it?Does the melodious flute sound like the moonlight make me miss it?It must be so, just so.The man in Xuanyi clenched his fist, and reached out to pick up the old purple bamboo flute.Fingers caressed the body of the flute, and the corners of the man in black's lips slowly rose.

"Guest officer, are you watching the flute?" The shopkeeper saw the man in Xuanyi watching the flute, so he stepped forward and asked.

The man in Xuanyi raised his old purple bamboo flute, threw a piece of silver into the shopkeeper's hand, turned around, put up his umbrella and walked into the alley.
