Fight the Giants

  Chapter 289 Nobody Tells

   "Why are you looking at me secretly?" Huo Xi asked him like this.

  Wu Chengye pursed his lips and did not answer.

   Seeing that he was avoiding his eyes and not daring to look at him, Huo Xi didn't ask any more questions.

  Just as he was about to turn around, he heard him say again: "My mother, I was thinking of you."

  Huo Xi nodded: "Okay, I'll go see her when I'm done."

   After finishing his work, Yang Fu returned to the boat, Huo Xi talked to Li Yu, and then left the shop to go to the small courtyard where the nanny lived. Wu Chengye followed behind her.

  Huo Xi turned to look at him, but didn't care.

   After walking for a while, I heard him say: "I know who you are."

  Huo Xi was stunned for a moment, turned to look at him, saw that he was avoiding his gaze again, couldn't help but smiled, "Who am I?"

  Wu Chengye pursed his lips again.

  The two walked in tandem. I heard Wu Chengye whisper again: "I won't tell anyone."

  Huo Xi turned his head to look at him, raised the corner of his mouth, took two steps, and said casually, "Don't tell your father?"

  Wu Chengye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head for a while: "Don't say anything. No one will say anything."

  He understood what mother meant, but mother asked him to keep it a secret, and said he was not her. But he knew he was her.

  Niang lied to him. But he doesn't blame his mother. He won't tell it, he won't tell anyone. Dad didn't say anything either.

  Wu Chengye thought about it, so he secretly looked at Huo Xi's back, it might as well be seen by Huo Xi when he turned around.

   smiled at him and said, "Really don't tell your father?"

   "Well, don't say it." Wu Chengye nodded emphatically.

She is a younger sister, she played with him when she was a child, showed him such a big mansion, gave him all kinds of delicious food, and gave him so many fun things... not long ago, she asked him to come out from his stepmother, Send it to your mother.

  It’s my younger sister.

  Huo Xi smiled, and glanced at the caramel shop beside him: "Do you still like candy?"

  Wu Chengye followed her gaze and nodded blankly: "I like it." I have always liked it.

  Huo Xi went into the shop, picked out all kinds of candies, and stuffed a big handful into his arms. Wu Chengye continued in a daze, looked at her, and laughed too.

  When the two walked to the small courtyard, the nanny and Mama hadn't come back yet, so they sat together on the gate pier in the courtyard, eating candy.

  You peel one for me, and I will peel one for you too. The two ate happily, neither of them talking. Everyone thinks today's candy is very sweet.

  When the nanny returned to the courtyard, she was pleasantly surprised to see Huo Xi. Seeing her sitting with Chengye again, he was stunned.

  Seeing a lot of candy wrappers on the ground next to the two of them, their mouths were also bulging, and their eye sockets turned red all of a sudden.

   Turning his back to wipe his tears.

  Nurse Ma took a look at Huo Xi, smiled and nodded at her.

   "Grandmother, mother, come and see, this is the saving box that Aunt Lou asked me to bring to you, isn't it good?"

  Nurse Ma came over, picked it up carefully, and nodded: "It's beautiful, her craftsmanship is still there. The things she makes are more spiritual."

   After reading it, she took the letter from Lou Qingyao and walked aside to read it.

  Nurse took a few glances and then put it down, holding onto Huo Xi's hand, looking at her from time to time, and then at Cheng Ye, with a smile on her face.

  Huo Xi stayed in the small courtyard for one night, woke up the next day, had breakfast with the nanny, and went to the shop. He took Li Yu with him and took his own boat to the outer port.

  This is the first time for Li Yu to follow him. Seeing Huo Erhuai and Bao Xia rowing their boats around Fanchuan, he was a little confused, until Huo Xi shouted at the other merchant ship, he was stunned.

   "Xi'er, did you learn what you said from your uncle?"

  Huo Xi couldn't avoid it, so he nodded.

   Li Yu admired him very much. He had also heard what Li Dian Shou said, but he didn't seem to be as slippery as Xi'er said. Is it true that children are better at learning languages?

  Yi'er is three years old now, do you want him to learn some?

  Just as he was thinking, he saw a small boat had been hoisted from a fan boat, and a small boat had been hoisted from a fan boat not far away, and the two boats were rowing towards them together.

   And the two big ships were lined up with archers facing them.

  Li Yu only felt a little weak in his legs. Looking at Huo Xi again, he looked calm, and looking at Yang Fu, Huo Erhuai and the others, they were also very calm, so he straightened up.

  The fan who had done business with Huo Xi earlier boarded the boat first, greeted Huo Xi warmly, sat cross-legged on the deck and had tea and snacks with Huo Xi.

   After a while, two other people from the other small boat also boarded, and everyone moved to the cabin to sit.

  Bao Xia rowed the boat away from the nearby waters. Huo Erhuai and Bao Kang lowered their fishing nets, during which many boats also approached them.

   Just watched them fishing and walked away.

  In the cabin, the Fan merchant introduced by the earlier Fan merchant was very satisfied with the goods brought by Huo Xi.

  In addition to being determined to get the white sugar in Huo Xi's hand, he is also very satisfied with the silk, satin and porcelain she brought. I am very satisfied with those handicrafts, storage boxes, various fans, and velvet flowers.

  Take those fans and play with them carefully. Bargain with Huo Xi.

  Other fans, bamboo fans, paper fans, feather fans, and silk fans, Huo Xi directly costs four taels of silver each, but for the bamboo silk fan, Huo Xi costs five taels of silver each.

  Bamboo fan is not easy to make, and it takes a long time to make one.

  The bamboo thread is as thin as silk, and it takes more than half a month to split the bamboo thread. These bamboo threads as thin as silk are assembled into various patterns and styles, making them as bright as brocade and as thin as cicada wings.

  It is a beautiful handicraft rather than a fan.

  A Japanese fan sold at a high price of 300 Wen in the Wei Dynasty. I bought such art treasures as fans that can be collected as treasures. It is not expensive at all to sell five taels of silver.

  South Asia is hot. This fan can fan the wind, play with it, and treasure it. In terms of workmanship and fineness, isn’t it better than the Japanese fan?

  Several Fanren couldn’t put it down because they couldn’t put it down, and they all rushed to get it. In the end, the new fan merchant took a box full of pearls, and exchanged the ten bamboo fans in her hands with Huo Xi.

   Li Yu smacked his tongue.

  It seems that when I go to the countryside to receive goods in the future, I still need to find out if there are some folk craftsmen in the area, such as fan makers, mother-of-pearl makers, etc., and find some high-quality goods so that I can exchange the good goods in their hands with the Fan people.

  These fans seem to like these handicrafts of mine very much. Li Yu sat aside and thought about it.

  In the end, the sugar didn’t counter-offer, just like the previous Fanshang, thirty taels a stone. Li Yu was dumbfounded again.

   Unexpectedly, the goods that Xi'er brought would include such things as sugar.

   His eyes were wide open, and when he saw those merchants trying sugar, he wanted to try it too. He had a lot to ask, but he held back.

   After negotiating the price, it is to look at the other party's goods.

This time Li Yu started to pick out a lot, spices and dew, jewelry and jade, all kinds of decorations, glazed tortoiseshell products, exotic teacups and wine glasses, incense tubes and wine plates, glass mirrors, all kinds of wood ebony, iron wood, sandalwood Wood, all kinds of fabrics, Fansha Fanluo also bought a lot.

  Every two or three sticks of ambergris, Huo Xi spared no expense this time, buying more than ten catties.

  Two hundred shi of white sugar, plus the goods bought at five thousand taels, this barter, the value of the goods in exchange exceeds ten thousand taels of silver.

  After exchanging the goods, Huo Xi worried all the way and led the three boats back to the port.
