Wu Wang Palace, bedroom.

The newly built master bedroom of King Wu Sun Quan is magnificent, in the words of later generations, it is decorated in the style of wealthy gold.

Behind the carved screen and under the embroidered curtain, Sun Quan was lying on a couch, wearing plain clothes with a handful of chest hair exposed.

Mrs. Bu was waiting by her side, rubbing Sun Quan's shoulders and legs.

Even though she is the mother of two daughters, Bu is still graceful, well-proportioned, pretty and full of charm.

No wonder Sun Quan had countless beauties in his harem, but he only favored her.

"Trainer, Mr. Zhang is here to report that the new envoy sent by Zhuge Liang of Western Shu arrived in Wuchang yesterday. The leader is a young man in his twenties. It is said that he is one of Liu Bei's four ministers."

"Haha." Sun Quan sneered, "Is there really no one in Xishu? Liu Bei can only be left alone by Huangkou Ruzi?"

Bu Shi said: "Lu Boyan's fire in Yiling burned up all Liu Bei's family assets. Otherwise, there are so many talented people in the Western Shu Kingdom, and they would never be in such embarrassment."

Sun Quan nodded and said: "At present, the vitality of Western Shu is greatly weakened. However, Shu is remote and has a large army stationed in Baidi. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is really difficult to attack. Besides, Cao Pi's son, because I have played with him many times before, now he is here

Zi regards Gu Gu as an enemy bandit and repeatedly violates the border, which is really a headache."

Sun Quan paused for a long while and then said: "This moment is not the other moment. If Wu and Shu continue to be at odds with each other, it will be a great disadvantage to me, Soochow. I think it is only a matter of time before Wu and Shu form an alliance. However, since he came to ask me to form an alliance first, then

I can't agree easily. Otherwise, I will seem a little impatient."

Bu Shi said: "I would say, ignore them for now and wait for them for a while. The envoy from Shu came here with orders and brought so many gifts. If he doesn't see the king, he will definitely not go back."<

/p>

Sun Quan smiled and said: "What Madam said is absolutely true. Just treat them as if they don't exist. The instructor's post only cares about their food, drink and fun. If you ask about other things, they don't know anything. If you want to write to me, you won't even reply. Let's kill them."

Kill their spirit."

Bu chuckled loudly and said: "Your Majesty, you are too bad. If I were that young envoy of Shu and encountered such a situation and went to a foreign country, and the sky would not respond, and the earth would not work, I would definitely feel sad in my heart.

I’m so anxious.”

Sun Quan also laughed loudly, raised his hand, and slapped Bu Shi on the hip: "How dare you say that this king is evil? What crime should you be punished for?"

"Your Majesty~" Bu Shi said with a sweet smile in her eyes, pretending to be angry.

Wuchang City, Wu Guoguan Post.

Zhou Mo was sitting on a table, holding a brush in his hand, and was concentrating on writing on the paper. Now he was writing the character "car", now he was writing the character "horse", and now he was writing the character "soldier".

Deng Zhi was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking anxious, walking faster and faster.

Deng Zhi raised his head and glanced at Zhou Mo, frowned, walked quickly to him, and said anxiously: "Si Qian, I'm going to die of anxiety, why do you still have the heart to write here?"

"What's the rush?"

While Zhou Mo was answering, he continued writing without raising his head, and wrote another word for "Pao".

Deng Zhi said: "It has been two days since we arrived in Soochow. As soon as we landed, we submitted our credentials to the King of Wu, but nothing happened, and there was no news at all. When I asked the officials about this post, they would only shake their heads and say something small.

People don’t know. Even Zhang Zhao, when I went to visit him, said he was ill and had disappeared.”

Deng Zhi said, pacing back and forth on the ground again: "You and I are entrusted by the Prime Minister to go to Soochow as envoys. We have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. We are not asking for leave to go sightseeing, so how can we not be in a hurry?"

"If being anxious is useful, I must be more anxious than you."

As Zhou Mo answered, he tore off the word "gun" and wrote the word "crossbow" on the new paper.

Then he put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "Bo Miao, can't you see that Sun Quan is deliberately keeping me waiting? The more anxious you are, the more you play into his hands."

"Alas." Deng Zhi sighed heavily, "This Sun Quan is too treacherous."

Zhou Mo said: "In my estimation, we have to stay in Soochow for a long time. It has only been two days, and Bo Miao is so impatient. The days to come will be tough."

"I'm so angry." Deng Zhi stomped her feet angrily.

After Zhou Mo finished writing, he folded a stack of paper and put it away. He stood up and said to Deng Zhi: "I just want to go out for a walk, get some fresh air, see the street scene and people in Wuchang City, and spend some money to buy some things. Uncle

Miao, are you willing to go with me?"

"If you need anything, you can go and talk to the official at this official post, and he will arrange for it to be delivered. Why do you have to go out to buy it?"

Zhou Mo laughed and said: "No. Even if he has great ability, he can't deliver the things I want to buy."

"What do you want to buy?"

"First buy a shop. Then find a carpenter and do some small crafts."

"What? Buy a shop?" Deng Zhi asked in surprise, "What are you buying a shop for? Do you want to do business? This is Soochow, not Sichuan."

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "It's a long story, and I can't explain it for a while. When the time comes, Bo Miao will know about it."

Deng Zhi waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me ask, even if you really want to open a shop in Wuchang, the capital of Soochow, to do business, why do you have to buy it? Can't you rent it?"

"If you have enough money to buy it, why rent it?"

Deng Zhi was stunned.

"Is this how truly wealthy people think?"

Deng Zhi felt that his outlook on life had been impacted, and sighed: "I have long heard that the Zhou family in Langzhong is extremely wealthy, but buying a house and real estate is like buying melons at the market. This really opened my eyes."

Zhou Mo smiled: "Will Bo Miao come with me?"

Deng Zhi shook his head and said: "I won't go. I prefer to guard this official post. Firstly, I like it to be clean. Secondly, if there is news from Sun Quan, I can know it as soon as possible."

"Okay. Then I won't force it."

Zhou Mo left Dongwu Guanyi and came to Wuchang City Street.

Although Wuchang City is newly built, the former site of E County is a large county with a large population, rich in copper and iron, and developed trade. Therefore, the streets are crowded with people and there are many shops, creating a prosperous scene.

Zhou Mo came to the most prosperous area in the city and saw a store called Liubotang in a relatively quiet alley, and he immediately became interested.

After entering, I discovered that this place is actually a typical two-story teahouse, with the lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. What is different from ordinary teahouses is that in addition to tea sets, each low table also has tea sets.

Playing a pair of Liubo chess.

Not far away, two Soochow scribes were sitting on their knees across the table, playing chess and sipping tea.

In addition, there are not too many people, and there are only a few tea drinkers taking a break. It seems that the boss's management is not very good.

"This guest, do you want to drink tea or play chess?" A waiter came up and asked.

Zhou Mo asked: "Is your shopkeeper here? I have a small business and I want to discuss it with the shopkeeper."

The young man saw that although Zhou Mo was young, he was elegantly dressed and good-looking, so he knew he was an honored guest, so he said, "The shopkeeper is inside. Please come with me, sir."

Zhou Mo followed the little brother into a small room at the back. The little brother immediately went to the counter outside to make tea for the two of them.

Soon, in less than a cup of tea, Zhou Mo came out of the hut with the title deed of the shop.

The shopkeeper stood next to Zhou Mo, bowing his head like a servant, with a look of infinite joy on his face.

The waiter was coming over with a pot of hot tea when he met the two of them coming out and said in surprise: "Shopkeeper, is your business done now?"

"Don't call me shopkeeper." The shopkeeper smiled and pointed at Zhou Mo, "From now on, Mr. Zhou will be your shopkeeper."
