Mingshui County belongs to the lower county among the eighty-eight counties in Xingyuan Prefecture, but because it is close to the border and close to the mountains and forests, there are a lot of fur goods and Hu people's goods. Merchants from the south like to buy goods here, so the people who come and go There are more people than Zhong County.

The last time Mu Yangling came to the county was more than a year ago in the winter, when the Chinese New Year was about to come, Mu Shi happened to make a fortune, so he brought his wife and children to the county to buy New Year's goods.

For more than a year, Mingshui County has not changed much, and it is still as lively as ever.

"Father, where are we going?"

"Go to Fangshi first, where the merchants buy goods."

The Fangshi in Mingshui County has all kinds of things, leather goods occupy the largest area, and next to it are medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials of Xingyuan Mansion are as famous as the fur goods.

Mu Yangling had already got off the cart, walked beside his father and looked around, Mu Shi said in a low voice, "I've seen these merchants before, and they lowered the price when we came last time, let's go inside and have a look. "

Mu Yangling saw those merchants standing behind the stalls, they just glanced at Mu Shi and then moved away. Some even snorted arrogantly from their nostrils.

Mu Yangling couldn't help frowning, shouldn't peace be the most important thing for a businessman? Papa's leather goods are top-notch in this market.

The further he walked in, the more disappointed Mu Shi was. These merchants were all the same ones who came to see last time, and there was no difference.

Mu Shi stopped in his tracks and said to his daughter, "You stay here and watch, daddy asks the price."

"Okay." Mu Yangling sat obediently on the trolley.

Mu Shi took a piece of fur and went to ask the price from one family to another. Mu Yangling observed the people in the market, and paid special attention to several nearby fur dealers, and found that the prices they bought were all about the same. There will be a phenomenon of raising the price from time to time, but it is not drastic.

Mu Yangling knew that these merchants were united, and it was probably a unified act to lower the price of Mu Shi.

Mu Yangling frowned in disgust, but he didn't know that a young man not far away was looking at him in surprise.

Qi Haoran grabbed Fan Zijin, pointed at Mu Yangling and said happily, "Zijin, look who is that? Just now we said that we would repay the favor when we had time, but the person came."

Fan Zijin was also a little surprised when he saw Mu Yangling sitting on the trolley, "Why is she here?"

"Then do you need to ask? She must be here to sell furs. She is such a good hunter. She must have a lot of furs at home. Let's go and have a look. If there are any good ones, let's buy some." Qi Haoran pulled Fan Zijin over.

Fan Zijin's intuition is not good, and this person's appearance is too coincidental. Once suspicious, he will inevitably think more.

They just found Brother Xiuyuan and he appeared, what if it was a spy sent by the barbarians, or a spy sent by the imperial court? It may also be sent by an opponent who wants to deal with Brother Xiuyuan...

While Fan Zijin was still thinking wildly, Qi Haoran jumped up happily to pat Mu Yangling on the shoulder.

Mu Yangling stretched out his hand alertly and grabbed Qi Haoran's hand, twisting it slightly, Qi Haoran screamed "Wow", and shouted: "Be gentle, be gentle, it's me, Miss Mu, don't you remember me? "

Seeing that it was Qi Haoran, Mu Yangling quickly let go of his hands, and was a little surprised to see the two of them, "It's you? Have you found your relatives?"

Fan Zijin said reservedly: "I would also like to thank Miss Mu. We found our family when we arrived at the county seat yesterday afternoon. Why did Miss Mu come to the county seat?"

"I followed my father to sell fur goods, Mr. Qi, are your hands alright?"

Qi Haoran waved his hands and said, "You have great strength, but it doesn't matter, I'm used to being beaten since I was a child."

Fan Zijin glanced at him, then looked down at his wrist, and smiled coldly.

Qi Haoran glared at him, and asked Mu Yangling, "Miss Mu, what about your father?"

"He went to ask the price."

Qi Haoran was puzzled and said: "Aren't the prices the same? Why do you have to ask?" He and Fan Zijin came here early in the morning to shop, and found that the prices for buying leather goods here are all about the same.

Mu Yangling said helplessly: "They deliberately lowered the price of my family, and the price they gave was half of that given to others, so my father wanted to compare who gave a higher price, and see if they could raise it further."

Qi Haoran was surprised, "Why? Did your father offend these merchants?"

"No," Mu Yangling snorted, "It's just bullying my father to look like a barbarian."

Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows, pointed at Mu Shi who was asking the price, and said, "That's your father?"

Mu Yangling nodded.

Qi Haoran didn't like the Hu people, so he took a closer look at Mu Shi, and said, "The eyes and nose are a bit similar, and he looks a little taller, but it's not particularly similar. Your father has Hu people's blood?"

Mu Yangling nodded, "Half of my grandfather's blood is Hu people, but our family has settled in Linshan Village for a long time, and my father has a lot of old friends in Qili Township. He used to be very good in the county, but I don't know. Why, since the merchants in the county changed a batch, they have often lowered the price of my father's fur goods in the past two years. If it weren't for going too far to Xingzhou, my father would definitely go to Xingzhou to sell the leather goods on his back. Why bother here Take their anger."

It is said that Mu Shi looks like a barbarian, but it is because he is surrounded by Han people. Mu Shi's eyes are darker, his facial features are rougher, his nose is higher, and his body is tall. Among the Han men, there is a sense of standing out from the crowd.

But in the army, it won't look abrupt. Qi Haoran has seen many such people in the capital, and he doesn't think the other party is too much like a barbarian.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Zijin understood the reason, and said, "Your father's fur goods seem to be pretty good."

"That's natural. My grandfather has a good skill in tanning. My father learned from my grandfather. The furs from hunting in my family are all tanned by my father. They are top-notch in the market."

"It's no wonder that your family's hunting skills are good, and tanning is also good. The price is high and the quantity is high. Naturally, it will cost a lot of money to buy your family's leather goods. Those merchants are afraid that your father looks like a barbarian. The local people have hatred for the Hu people, so they agreed to lower the price. Otherwise, if the local Han people, the merchants would not dare to act like this.”

The reason why the merchants unite is to prevent being oppressed by the local people in other places, and the local people will unite in order not to be suppressed too much by the merchants. included.

Mu Yangling frowned, thought for a while and asked, "Then are there any merchants who are also excluded among these merchants?"

Fan Zijin glanced at Mu Yangling approvingly, and said, "I don't know about this, but you can ask the workshop owner here, he should know."

Mu Yangling looked at the two of them with bright eyes, "Do you know the master here?" Mu Yangling had already noticed that the clothes on them were expensive, and they were no longer the embarrassed look they saw yesterday.

Fan Zijin was about to repay yesterday's favor when he heard this and nodded with a smile: "Although I don't know him, I should be able to meet him. If Miss Mu wants to see him, I can ask someone to bring him here."
