Mujian frowned and criticized her two sons from time to time.

The eldest son Mu Xing got up to be taught in a very regular way, while the younger son Mu Yan secretly hid behind the eldest brother and winked.

Mujian saw it in her eyes, so she picked up the book on the table and knocked him on the head. She angrily said, "it's frivolous not to learn well all day!"

The knock was very light, but mu Yan still covered his head and cried for pain. Later, he looked around restlessly. When he heard someone knocking at the door outside, he rushed over.

Mujian shook her head. He was reluctant to fight this talented little son, so he had a headache.

Mu Yan opened the door and saw that it was a servant girl in the backyard. He turned back and said, "father, I'm looking for you."

"Master."

The servant girl came in and gave Mujian a wink. He got up and said, "do two more articles. If you want to check for your father, if you are perfunctory, break your legs!"

"Yes, father."

Seeing that dad was leaving, Mu Yan smiled happily.

Mujian shook her head, then couldn't help laughing. There was more softness in her eyes. Then she went out of the study with the servant girl and asked in a low voice, "what's the matter?"

The servant girl said, "master, Li Er is back. He's with his mother."

Mu Jian's eyebrows immediately turned to Lengsu. The servant girl continued, "Sir, his blind mother touched it every day a few days ago and asked Li Er if he had come back. They all fell a lot."

Mujian explained as she walked back to the yard: "pay more attention next time. Don't let her fall to death."

When she got to the backyard, Mujian went to the inner study, and the servant girl went to find Li Er.

Li Er came back with some food. He was waiting on his mother to eat. When he saw the servant girl coming in, he forced her with his eyes, then put the dessert in his mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, I'll explain the business to the master and come back later."

The old woman looked blankly at the direction outside the door and said, "second, you came back earlier. My mother misses you!"

Li Errou said in a voice, "OK, I'll be back later."

……

They went all the way to the outside of the inner study. The servant girl didn't hide her contempt and said, "the master is inside."

Li Er thought of the scratches on my mother's palm, looked at the servant girl and said, "who bullied my mother? Be careful that your head is missing at night!"

The servant girl was startled by his indifferent tone. After stepping back, she felt a little weak, so she forked her waist and said, "if you're wordy again, believe it or not, let your mother eat hogwash next time!"

Li Er smiled, nodded and said, "I'll be back for a long time this time. You can try."

Then he went into the inner study. The servant girl stood there and bit her red lips for a long time. Then she turned back. Her waist twisted like a water snake

……

In the inner study, Mujian was reading. When she heard the footsteps, she didn't look up and said, "close the door."

Li Er closed the door and said, "Sir, this trip is going well. The goods have been sold."

Mujian still didn't look up and asked, "what have you changed back?"

Li Er said, "those people have a lot of spices, but Sir, you told me that it's best to use gold and silver. Most of the small ones have changed gold and silver and some spices."

"Fool!"

Mujian looked up and said solemnly, "I said gold and silver are good, but there is no shortage of spices. When the treasure ship in the court stops, there will be a shortage of spices. It will be valuable and worth a lot of money! Do you understand?"

Li Er hung his head. "Yes, it's a small mistake."

Mujian looked at him coldly and said, "remember, next time you make your own decisions, I will make you regret!"

Li Er bowed his head. Mujian suddenly smiled and said, "well, you haven't had a good rest since you went out to sea. Go back. I'll let the kitchen send you a table for your mother and son to enjoy."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Er left quietly and closed the door of the study.

The house became a little dark. Mujian looked at the door, and a sneer gradually floated around her mouth. The book in her hand was gradually clenched

"Father, the child has finished two articles and is going out to have a spring outing with his classmates."

The sneer disappeared instantly. Mujian shouted, "if you dare to go, break your leg!"

The voice of Mu Yan outside is getting farther and farther: "Dad, if you don't go, you will be laughed at. The child will go home soon..."

Mujian opened the door with a smile on her mouth, looked at her little son's energetic running to the front yard, couldn't help shaking her head and said with a smile: "this shaft!"

……

A fleet came to Ningbo. When the fleet transported a lot of spices, it was regarded as a fleet from Peiping.

Zheng He brought back a lot of spices from his voyages. There were too many to use and send. Recently, Xia Yuanji in Peiping has been urging the emperor to cash in spices, so a lot of spices have been put into the southern market.

In the evening, many people came down from the ship. A sergeant on patrol went to ask questions. He was frightened by the waist token of the first person, and then cursed and swore that he had not done anything bad.

"Go, if you leak our news, the whole family will die!"

There was a lantern on the side. Li Jing's face was white and miserable. The sergeant immediately left.

Fang Xing came out from behind and said, "it's better for you to use the name of East Hall. Go into the city."

At the gate of the city, Li Jing took out the documents for buying cloth given by Zhu Zhanji and entered the city smoothly.

"There are more than a hundred people?"

When they entered the city, the sergeants couldn't help smacking their tongue.

"Dog eunuch, what a big battle!"

"Shut up! Do you want to make trouble for us?"

The eunuch is not broad-minded. If Li Jing knew what he said just now, these sergeants would have bad luck.

After entering the city, the party quietly settled in a big house, and then had a rest.

But Fang woke up but couldn't rest. From Li Jing waiting for the fleet on the shore, he knew that Zhu Zhanji was more eager to push to sea than he was.

The owner of this big house is a rich businessman, but recently he has some bad luck. Because he deals in luxury goods, but he has not paid taxes, he was greeted "kindly" by the people of the East Hall. At present, he is waiting for sin at home.

Fang Xing's residence is just a small courtyard. When Li Jing arrives, Fang Xing has taken a bath and is eating noodles. When he came in, he pointed to the opposite side of himself, and then he snored and ate noodles. He said comfortably, "I always feel bad on the ship. It turns out that it's bad for the feeling of land. I always feel bad when I eat."

After he wiped his mouth, Li Jing said, "Your Highness has found out that the man is in Ningbo mansion, but he can't further find out who it is."

Fang Xing took a sip of tea and felt a little sleepy. He said, "the man's name is Li Er. The man behind him also grabbed his mother. Ningbo is not small and difficult to check, so we have to start with the gold, silver and spices they exchanged."

Li Jing said happily, "that's great. Gold and silver must be transported. Our family will let people stare at the avenue of Ningbo mansion later and wait for them to enter the net."

"It's not that easy."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "Li Er is very alert, so he won't move for the time being."

Li Jing analyzed: "uncle, since Li Er is filial, can we take advantage of it?"

Fang Xing nodded admiringly and said, "I'm ready to take a chance in time to let people know where I live."

"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?"

Li Jing said with a smile, "uncle, good means!"

"It's just fishing. Pay attention on your side. Don't hang up with Ningbo Government. I'm afraid there will be a connection between them."

Li Jing nodded and said, "since that man is so cruel, he must have a mouthpiece in Ningbo Government. We'd better be careful so as not to be seen through."
