The sun sets in the west and the sky is getting late.

Because they stayed in Green Willow Villa for a long time, Jia Jing and his party had already set sunset when they left.

Along the way, everyone took advantage of the scarcity of people and cars on the official road and ran around the horse.

But even so, because the sun sets too fast in winter, before Jia Jing and others enter the city, the sky is already dark.

At the fifth hour of Xu, the sky had completely turned into a pitch-black color, and a huge evening drum was knocked on the gate tower above the city gate.

The gate of Shenjing City was slowly closed with the cooperation of a group of gatekeepers.

Hearing the sound of the evening drum, Jia Jing and his party, who were still rushing, couldn't help but slow down their speed.

The sound of the evening drum means that it is already the fifth hour of Xu, and the outer gate of Shenjing City has been closed, and all entry and exit are prohibited. No traveling with you is allowed unless it is urgent to report or war.

Therefore, if you can't enter Shenjing before the evening drum sounds, you can only stay out of the city for a night.

"It seems that today I'm going to experience the feeling of sleeping in the suburbs!"

Jia Jing was also helpless when he strangled the horses, and he was not in front of the village or the shop behind him.

Can you come back to Shenjing, eat delicious food, and live in a comfortable room, who would like to eat dry food outside and live in a dewy place?

Before, when Zhenbei Army was the 100 households in the general banner, he often spent the night in the wild because he was on missions. Therefore, Jia Jing was also experienced in sleeping in the wild. He just thought it was just to remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness.

Wherever he arrived, Jia Jing also skewed a few rabbits and pheasants he had hunted on the mountain today and put them on the fire to grill them.

Even if you spend the night in the wild, Jia Jing and his party's conditions are much better than those of ordinary people. At least ordinary people do not have storage space to store large amounts of food and water and other items.

For example, the guy who came up to me in front of me.

"This military master, it's a fate to be together. Can you give the two brothers evenly the rabbit pheasant you roasted?!"

As he said that, the man took out a handful of silver from his arms, looking about four or five taels, and stretched out to Jia Jing, "Brothers don't eat it for nothing. Please treat all the soldiers to tea for this little silver!"

In this era when three or five taels of silver are enough for a family of four to eat and drink for a year, is it really good to show off your wealth like this? In this wilderness, can you just feel at ease with those of you?

I'm afraid this person is not a fool, right?

Jia Jing joked, "Aren't you afraid of drugging you from the food you eat?"

"How is that possible?" the man waved his hand carelessly, "Not to mention that this place is almost under the wall of Shenjing. There are really strong bandits and strong men. I guess the men of the Protectorate of the Five Army can't sleep! Besides, we are not from a small family. My brother Xue Pan, my family ancestor once served as Ziwei's servant. Relying on the reputation of my family ancestor, I also made a false name in the Ministry of Revenue and took the imperial grain of the treasury, so ordinary strong people dare not touch me."

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing raised his eyebrows, and unexpectedly, in this wilderness, he could meet a relative who had turned two corners.

The big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him was Xue Pan, who was known as the "Dashiki" in Jinling.

I looked up and swept the convoy parked not far away, and I saw that on more than a dozen carriages, small flags with the word "Xue" were spread out in the wind.

In this way, the person sitting in the convoy not far away should be Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, who is the leader of the twelve golden hairpins with Lin Daiyu.

Xue Pan was still continuing to say at this time, "And the most important thing is that the soldiers and the heavy armor on the mount beside them. If there is really a strong man wearing such a heavy armor, even if he is stolen, the brother will recognize him!"

Jia Jing looked up and looked at the familiar guy in front of him in surprise. His nickname was Dabiwang?

Just stay here?

It's true that rumors are misleading people!

If you want to say that Xue Pan is the head of the Xue family in Jinling. His ancestors were close friends in the palace and had served as a member of Ziwei. Later, he was favored by the emperor and was released as a merchant and obtained the errands to buy the treasury. He was even more approved by the emperor and he had a false reputation in the Ministry of Revenue.

The Xue family has such a heavy emperor's kindness. With the convenience of being an imperial merchant, in just a few generations, they have saved millions of furniture and a sea of ​​gold and silver.

Xue Pan lost his father at a young age, and it was all due to his mother, Mrs. Xue, who was the only seedling in the family lineage of the head of the Xue family, was spoiled by Mrs. Xue since she was a child, and she developed the bad habit of being extravagant, arrogant and liked to show off her might and tantrums everywhere.

He fought cocks and dogs all day long and caused trouble everywhere, and finally became a domineering Jinling, and was given the nickname "Daibawang".

This time, Xue Pan brought his mother and sister to Beijing. One reason was to hide from the lawsuit that had been fought for a maid to kill someone a few days ago. The other was to send his sister to Beijing to be selected for a female official in the palace. Finally, he had to go to the Shenjing headquarters store to settle the old accounts, and by the way, he also wanted to go around the homes of many relatives in Shenjing.

Since Xue Pan's father passed away, all the trading contractors (agents) in various provinces, the managers and the likes of the shops, bullying Xue Pan's young and ignorant things, they took the opportunity to unite to make money and deceive Xue Pan into saying that their business is gradually losing money. Especially the Shenjing General Store, which has had a revenue deficit for two or three consecutive years.

As an imperial merchant, you can lose money. This is really fake. Even the "Daitty King" can't be deceived!

So taking this opportunity, Xue Pan and his mother and sister moved to Shenjing. First, many relatives were here, and the orphans and widows of the Xue family could also take care of them. Second, they could also look at some of the main stores of Shenjing, which was the basic foundation of the Xue family and could not be lost.

…………

Since she knew she was her relative, Jia Jing put away her joking attitude and seriously showed her identity.

Jia Jing doesn’t catch a cold when he first met, pretended not to know each other, and then suddenly realized when he met, and said frankly that he had a lot of fate. He always felt that people like this would not vomit him when they were eating?

Then, Lai Fu, who was ordered to pick two roasted rabbit chickens with good looks, took them one by Xue Pan, and headed to the Xue family convoy.

"Brother Jing, this roast rabbit chicken today is considered to be your kindness. I will arrive at Shenjing and I must serve as a banquet for you two times!"

Holding the roasted chicken with a roasted outside and tender inside, Xue Pan couldn't help swallowing a few saliva, "If you want to say that I eat a lot of delicacies on weekdays, why don't you think that the roasted chicken from Brother Jing is not as sweet as the sweetness and temptation of this roasted chicken from Brother Jing?"

Listening to the thunderous sound in Xue Pan's abdomen, Jia Jing smiled and said, "Brother Xue is so hungry that he naturally tastes good whenever he eats!"

"That's different! The fragrance alone is different," Xue Pan's face turned red, and he approached the roasted chicken and sniffed it carefully. "When you roast this pheasant, you must have put some unique seasonings!"

Jia Jing was stunned, and then he remembered that when he was roasting chicken, he put some spice seasonings bought in the system store, all of which were not available in the Great Zhou Empire.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan noticed it.

"There are some exotic spices inside," Jia Jing smiled and continued, "Brother Xue's nose is very enchanting."

"That's natural!" Xue Pan was quite proud when talking about food and drink.

As he was talking, he had already arrived outside the Xue family convoy.

"Mom, little sister, see what delicious food I brought to you!"

After taking the roasted rabbit from Jia Jing's hand, Xue Pan held up two roasted items and headed straight for a luxury caravan in the convoy.

Jia Jing looked at Xue Pan's back and nodded slightly. Even though he was extremely hungry, he was still thinking about his mother and sister. Xue Pan was a filial person!
