Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shang Cheng said that he entertained guests at home, which was originally just an excuse.  Little did he know that two days later, his words would become a prophecy.

    At noon that day, he was in the garden, watching the hired stonemason completely cut out the two entangled paleontological fossils from the stone.  Several craftsmen who had never done such a living before were all like apprentices who had just begun to learn their craft. They were holding hammers and chisels, carefully tapping along the lines on the stone; they could not hit it more than three or five times.  You have to stop and blow off the floating soil and debris, and then use clean water to wash the area and the surrounding areas before you can dig a few more times Hey, this is not a job, it is just waiting for the first.  People!  However, the owner of this shop is kind-hearted and generous. Not only does he give him enough wages, but he also doesn¡¯t skimp on food. Every morning and evening, he has two delicious meals, and there is also a sesame oil noodle soup for a midnight snack.  , the craftsmen could smell the aroma of sesame oil even when they were sleeping.  This time, the work was easy. It was just carving a big stone. The customer didn't even mention the length of the construction period. As long as they could "pick out" the fossils in the stone completely according to the texture, they would be done.  Haha, look at his grandeur, no wonder he became a county clerk at such a young age!  Such generous and kind-hearted customers are hard to find even with a lantern; they are lucky to meet them once!  Since it was Bishop Gu and the others who cared for this stone as their ancestor, then this stone was their ancestor. Everyone worked hard and showed the ability and care to carve Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for temples, meticulously  Taking care of that big rock

    Erya, who is very curious about all strange things, also came here to watch the fun.  She also brought Xiao Chan over.

    After looking at it for a while, Xiaochan couldn't help but asked strangely: "Your family wants to renovate the garden, why don't you buy Taihu stones?" There are several strange Taihu stones in her garden;  She also knows where to buy the best Taihu stones.

    "You don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" Erya whispered to her like a big sister.  Among these girls, Xiaochan is the youngest, so Erya, who has always been a younger sister, finally found the feeling of being an elder sister in her.  It is precisely for this reason that she is also the best friend of Xiaochan.  She said disdainfully, "Taihu stones are everywhere, what's the big deal? This stone is rare! It's a fossil!"

    "Oh." Xiao Chan agreed in a low voice.  This girl's character is not at all like her father Gumi's, but follows her mother's softness and softness.  The warning in Erya's words did not make her feel disgusted; on the contrary, it gave her a feeling of warmth and dependence that only comes when someone cares and cares for her.  She stopped making any sound and stared at the rough outlines of the two stone beasts in the stone for a long time, then asked Erya in a low voice, "What are fossils?"

    This question stumped Erya.  She didn't know what a fossil was.  Shang Cheng had explained it to her; but Shang Cheng himself had just switched careers from navigation and cartography. In the field of paleontology, he could only say that he was blind. He just told her that fossils are worth tens of millions.  After animals such as cattle, sheep, and horses from years ago were buried in the soil, under certain circumstances, they would eventually turn into stones¡ªsuch stones are called fossils.  As for what a "specific" environment looks like, he couldn't tell.  So, Erya explained what he said again, and finally added solemnly, "This is a university question!"

    ??Xiao Chan sensiblely stopped talking.  She understood that the knowledge contained in this fossil was probably the same as the globe and world map in Shang Cheng's study. They were secrets kept by merchants.  It was impossible for Erya to tell her these things before she came in.  She didn't realize that Erya, like her, had not officially entered the merchant's door yet.

    At this time, Yue'er hurried to the backyard.

    She stopped Shang Cheng, who was rolling up his sleeves and was about to do it himself, and told him something: "Someone just came to report that the third brother is back!"

    "Who?" Shang Cheng's mind was still on the stone, he held a small hammer and asked smoothly.

    "What?" Yue'er was confused by his question.

    "Who did you say is back?"

    "Third brother! He's back!"

    "Is it Gao Xiaosan?"

    "right!"

    Haha, this is good news!  Finally got this guy back!  Shang Cheng held the hammer and chisel in his hand and was so happy that he wanted to swing it.  He asked Yue'er, "What else did Auntie say? She said she didn't say when Brother Xiaosan would arrive in the capital?" He thought it was Gao Xiaosan who delivered the letter to Liu Ji Warehouse, and the warehouse notified Aunt Seventeen.  Then he said, "Have you told your sister-in-law about this?" He was talking about Gao Xiaosan's wife and sister.  The two of them have been living in the backyard with Yue'er and the others.

    "Already said."

    "Are they okay?" Shang Chengasked with some concern.  The mistress's daughter-in-law is in very poor health and has been inseparable from the medicine jar for many years. Since this year, she has been worried about Gao Xiaosan's fate and whereabouts. Of course, her condition is getting worse and worse. She even fainted a while ago, which scared the whole family half to death.  .  Fortunately, Shang Cheng is "recuperating" now. In order to avoid the catastrophe of the prince's death, the two imperial doctors have moved to Zhuangzi in the name of taking care of Shang Cheng. Fortunately, there are such two medical experts by his side.  Only then did he save the life of his mistress.  Gao Xiaosan is back, which is originally a good thing, but the most taboo thing about the mistress's wife's illness is great joy or sorrow. If something unexpected happens to someone else Then how will he face Gao Xiaosan when he turns around?

    "We have already sent for two doctors." Yue'er said, "Sisters Daya and Pan'er are both accompanying the third sister-in-law."

    Shang Cheng felt a little relieved.  He thought for a while and said, "That's okay. No matter how fast it is, it will take half a month to get from Quanzhou to the capital. If you need anything, just make up your own mind." Then he picked up the mason's belongings.  He suddenly thought of something again and said, "That's right! Say hello to them one by one and tell them that if you have the exact schedule of the third brother's arrival in the capital, you must let me know. I'll go meet him!"

    "Who told you that Third Brother will arrive in half a month?"

    Shang Cheng doesn¡¯t understand.  Gao Xiaosan won't arrive in the capital in half a month, does he still want to go out to sea again?  That won't work!  This matter is non-negotiable!  Gao Xiaosan must come back; even if he kidnaps him, he will kidnap this guy to the capital!

    Yue'er knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "The person who brought the message was a soldier from the Quanzhou Navy. The Navy sent people to escort Third Brother and the others all the way, and the soldier was the front guard for Third Brother and the others. He said, Third Brother  Brother will arrive this evening at the latest!"

    ¡°Ah, Gao Xiaosan became energetic after taking a trip to the sea!  Can you still order the Quanzhou Navy to do things?  Shang Cheng was a little unhappy.  He couldn't stop a few girls from tinkering with any business, and could only regard the business rights of the warehouse as their toys; but they borrowed his name to influence local affairs, which was a bit too much

    Yue'er immediately saw that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "You yourself wrote the letter to Quanzhou to inquire about the whereabouts of the third brother. Why are you blaming us?"

    Only then did Shang Cheng remember that such a thing did happen.  When he heard that Gao Xiaosan had gone to sea, he wrote a letter to Quanzhou and asked the Quanzhou Shipping Department to help keep an eye on Gao Xiaosan's whereabouts.  In order to attract local attention, he still used the military post road to help deliver the private letter.  Now it seems that the letter must have worked. Quanzhou actually borrowed troops from the navy to escort Gao Xiaosan and his party. It was obvious that the degree of attention he paid far exceeded his expectations and imagination.

    He smiled, apologizing for wrongly blaming Yue'er.  While thinking about it, he said: "If we arrive this evening, we won't have much time. Make arrangements quickly to see how you can help the third brother. By the way, have you sent someone to the city to inform aunt? She has been there all along.  I'm thinking about this."

    "We have already sent people on fast horses to report the news to the city." Yue'er said.

    "Where's the warehouse?"

    ¡°We¡¯ve also sent people there.¡±

    Shang Cheng asked several things that needed to be arranged immediately, and Yue'er arranged them properly and comprehensively, without him having to think about it at all, let alone making up for the omissions.  Looking at Yue'er's vaguely childish face, he suddenly felt a sense of emotion. When he was too busy, somewhere where he couldn't see, he didn't know that the lovely Yue'er was silently  How many things have been done to help him
