Heaven and earth gather cold, and snow covers the morning light.

Xiangyang City, which is still warm, also fell for the first time since the beginning of winter.

At this time, the servants in the Zhao Mansion were busy, burning the fire to extract carbon, and Li Yiming had already started his morning exercise in the backyard, one move and one style, one kick and one punch, and the moves were powerful, with less gorgeous moves and more real punches and feet.

"Hey, drink!" Li Yiming was beating a stump wrapped in iron sheets, not wrapped in iron sheets, Li Yiming was afraid, and after a few hits, the stump would rot!

Li Yiming, who got up early, "wanted to absorb the essence of the sun, but the heavens were not beautiful, and it snowed heavily in Xiangyang City, and the dense clouds covered the morning light, so Li Yiming had to practice unpretentious fists and feet.

At this time, Zhao Dezhu limped towards Li Yiming's courtyard, and muttered: "This stinky and sour Confucian, doesn't it mean that the year is too old?"

Don't you say that the masters of Confucianism and Taoism are all self-cultivation? I started to beat my ass and flesh, and I didn't look like a cultural person at all.

"Big brother, what are you...... Could it be that he was beaten by Mr.'s ring ruler?" Li Yiming covered his mouth and smiled!

"It's not to participate in the imperial examination with you, otherwise I'll be a gentleman and a gentleman, in fact, I have done my homework seriously, but Mr. He bluntly said that I will only memorize by rote, and what do you say "soldiers are treacherous".

Let me memorize the entire military book, not to mention, but also let me use it flexibly, please, I can memorize it well!" Zhao Dezhu limped over while rubbing his buttocks.

Li Yiming saw this situation, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to come over with a soft cushion, and let Zhao Dezhu sit on a cold stone bench on the current situation of his buttocks, that would not kill him!

Zhao Dezhu slowly sat on the cushioned stone bench and asked Li Yiming with a strange expression: "How did you get back well with the homework assigned by Mr.? Why didn't I find out that you didn't get boarded?"

"Big brother, I don't say that I have a back-to-back recitement, but I can basically answer what Mr. asks, so Mr. didn't hit me on the board" Li Yiming said helplessly, with a look of self-righteousness!

"Brother, now I know that there is an auction today, are you interested in accompanying me to participate in it? I heard that a few lots in the finale may be cultivation resources!" After Zhao Dezhu was beaten on the board, he had no intention of studying anymore and wanted to go out to breathe.

"Big brother, the teacher has given me a lot of classics, I haven't read them yet, I still have a competition with the Danshi Alliance in a few days, time is precious, I'm afraid I can't accompany the eldest brother!"

Li Yiming said hesitantly, after all, it takes time to read, and in his spare time, he also wants to recall the "Life-Extending Divine Needle" taught by Mr. Li Zhi.

Zhao Dezhu doesn't care, he just got a board, and this pain is in his buttocks, how can you let him come down carefully and study the book of war.

Softly and stiffly said to Li Yiming: "Big brother knows that you have a few pounds and a few taels, you see that you have returned to Mr. this time, you have not been hit by the board at all, and your talent in this article has been affirmed by Mr., as for the Danshi Alliance, you don't have to be afraid, just your acupuncture, it will be over, but if you don't accompany me today, I won't follow!"

After Zhao Dezhu finished speaking, he pitifully pulled Li Yiming's hand.

Li Yiming knew that Zhao Dezhu had been wronged by the board, or not, Zhou Hanlin said that it was better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and to accompany the eldest brother to go out for a walk was also a change of mood, and he was also studying, putting down the books in his hand.

said to Zhao Dezhu: "Big brother, I'll accompany you to this auction, let's say okay first, my brother has no yellow and white things, don't ask me for money, the monthly money given by my father, and the happy money at the banquet, I have returned it to the account room, you know me, I don't spend money, just put the money in the account room." ”

When Zhao Dezhu heard that Li Yiming was willing to go out with him, he replied with a smile: "I, the eldest young master of the Tang Tang Zhao family firm, how can I let your younger brother spend money, what do you fancy tell me, the eldest brother will buy it for you, the money is not enough, I will let the bookkeeper pay it." ”

Li Yiming saw Zhao Dezhu so confident and generously told him that he could buy whatever he liked, so he was worried about it, so he went back to the room and changed his clothes, while Zhao Dezhu asked his subordinates to prepare the carriage and horses, and set off with Li Yiming to go to the auction.

On the carriage, swaying and shining, Zhao Dezhu lay in the carriage covered with soft blankets, and followed Li Yiming and said: "My ass, it is estimated that it will not get better in some time, so I can only lie on my stomach, brother, don't laugh at the eldest brother!"

"Big brother, what you should be thinking about is how to get back to your homework next time, if you can't read the book, you can come and ask me, although I don't study the book of soldiers, it's okay to interpret the text of the book for you, and big brother, isn't this the largest trading house in Xiangyang City our family? Why do you want to go to another auction?" Li Yiming asked with a puzzled face,

"Brother, don't you know, although our Zhao family's father and son are cultivators, but what we do is a secular mortal business, such as the Zhao Si caravan you bumped into, it is to go into the mountains to collect mountain goods, if you receive one or two grade spirit grass in the mountains, it is developed, if you can't meet it, it is also to do some ordinary business.

For example, buying and selling furs, buying and selling currency from the north and south, taking care of some long-term and short-term labor, and cultivating some family fields, although our Zhao family is the first commercial house in Xiangyang City, it is also a business between the mundane, and the resources for cultivating truth are also in urgent need. ”

Li Yiming instantly understood why Zhao Dezhu was so embarrassed when Xu Guangzhi asked for a thousand yuan crystals, he really hadn't seen what a thousand yuan crystals looked like, and he didn't have any connections in this area!

After a while, the carriage stopped shaking and stopped, and the coachman shouted, "Two young masters, it's time to get there!"

Li Yiming got out of the carriage first, and then slowly supported Zhao Dezhu, Zhao Dezhu is usually fat, but now he is injured, and his actions remain the same, Li Yiming, who has entered the Dao of Refinement, simply used the power of the god of war, picked up Zhao Dezhu with both hands, and hugged Zhao Dezhu down like an eagle catching a chicken.

Zhao Dezhu also exclaimed: "Brother, although you are not thin, you can carry me out of the carriage so easily with both hands, eldest brother is really admired!"

Of course, Li Yiming would not say that he was cultivating the power of the God of War, and explained: "Big brother, don't make fun of your younger brother, my child who came out of the mountains has the strength!"

It's just that what Li Yiming doesn't know is that he has already let the people around him see his little show, and privately discussed, this is a little doll of more than ten years old, with so much strength, it must be a great kung fu cultivation!

Li Yiming looked up and saw that what should be in front of him was a nine-storey, magnificent, graceful and luxuriously decorated building, with three pure gold words "Treasure Pavilion" engraved on the flat!

Li Yiming saw these three big characters, not surprised that the material was pure gold, gold in Li Yiming's eyes, just a vulgar thing, but the words carved by this gold are clearly from the hands of Confucianism and Taoism, but Zhou Lao Hanlin said to him that Confucian people regard money as dung, but what I saw today, what Zhou Hanlin said, made Li Yiming feel that Confucian people are not necessarily all self-clean, self-cultivation and self-cultivation!

Zhao Dezhu took a cane and said to Li Yiming: "Brother, what else to see, go in with the eldest brother!" This "Treasure Pavilion" is the largest commercial house on the Chinese mainland, we call it a business empire, as small as the circulation of goods between mortals, as large as the cultivation resources, they have everything, this floor, is open to food, called "Tianxiang Building", this second floor is the "Tianxian Building" where beautiful women gather, the third floor is the counter of the general buying and selling of cultivation materials, this fourth floor is the auction site we are going to today, don't be stunned, let's go!"

With Zhao Dezhu's explanation, the "Tianxiang Building" mentioned to him by Uncle Zhao Si at the beginning was actually the business of this "Treasure Pavilion", which is worthy of being a "business empire" Today, it can be regarded as a long insight, and it is not in vain to go in and take a look.

Li Yiming helped Zhao Dezhu and walked into the "Treasure Pavilion" side by side.

I saw this floor, decoration, very blessed, this high-quality white jade carved into a dragon pillar, a plate of dishes, made of pure gold, the bowl is pure silver, the chopsticks are unknown animal teeth polishing, even a piece of the most ordinary, used to separate the screen, is also made of the best ice jade.

And not to mention the wine glass, the Night Shadow Glass Cup, everything has refreshed Li Yiming's cognition, and Zhao Mansion is really not a grade compared to it!

But since Li Yiming learned Confucianism and Taoism, no matter how extravagant the furniture and furnishings are, in his eyes, they are just passing things, and sooner or later he will be the one who goes to Eastern Shenzhou and embarks on the road of cultivation.

The wealth of the mortal world can only be enjoyed by the mortal world, the life span of mortals is short for decades, life does not bring, death does not take away, no matter how many yellow and white things are, they will only turn into a trace of dust in an instant, and when the breeze blows, they are all dispersed!

As soon as Zhao Dezhu appeared, after all, he was also half a celebrity in Xiangyang City, a rich lord, and the director on the first floor immediately stepped forward to offer flattery: "Yo, isn't this a young owner?

The world is as black as a crow, no matter how big the store is, the customer is always God, the main thing hurriedly greeted Zhao Dezhu, for fear of neglecting the God of Wealth, after all, although "Tianxianglou" is open to secular people, but like Zhao Dezhu, the son of a local tyrant can only consume more, this main thing is to see through this, quickly put down the things in his hand, and come to welcome the young master of the Zhao family!

Zhao Dezhu straightened up, after all, he also had to pay attention to his image when he was spending here, and swept away the previous sluggish state: "I am taking my brother-in-law today to participate in the auction on the fourth floor, and now the time has not yet come, you go to the second floor to open a private room, pay attention to be quiet, we don't want to be noisy!"

Zhao Dezhu's opening is to go up to the second floor of "Tianxian Building", Tianxian upstairs is full of boxes, and there are stunning beauties to accompany it, the woman here is known as the national color and Tianxiang, so the second floor is named "Tianxian Building"!

But the girls in this Tianxian Lou are all talented and talented, and they don't sell their bodies, but the romantic places are not obscene, but many scholars and literati are here to show off their literary talents, and they are a good place to show their coquettishness.

This "Tianxian Building" is also a good place for literati to gather, often chanting poems here, dancing and writing ink, especially when approaching the imperial examination, this wind is more prevalent, for this reason, although this "Tianxian Building" is a gold cave, it also makes an activity for the collection of literati.

Every ten days, a literary contest is held, such as fighting poetry, such as chess, such as making pairs, and so on, as long as you are the leader of one of them, so that many literati present are convinced, then the drinks and meals you consume on the second floor today are all free!

I have to say that this "Treasure Pavilion" is really good at doing business, originally after earning worldly money, and earning Yuan Jing in the cultivation world, at this time it is even more necessary to earn fame! Confucianism, from cultivators to ordinary people are disciples all over the world, "Treasure Pavilion" This abacus is shrewd, I want money, I also want name, for example, fish and bear paws can't have both, but I "Treasure Pavilion", all want!

The director replied to Zhao Dezhu: "Okay, Shao Dongjia, I will send someone to receive you on this "Tianxian Building", you see that the box of "Liyue Longmen" is still empty, are you willing to eat in this box!"

Zhao Dezhu didn't care, he just wanted to take advantage of the time before the hour arrived, and he didn't want to eat in the crowded place on this floor: "You can arrange whatever you want, I still have to eat with my brother-in-law!"

Li Yiming and Zhao Dezhu walked to an elevator under the leadership of Xiao Er, only to see that the elevator is sliding with a pulley, as long as people stand up and ring the bell, it will automatically lift, but it saves Zhao Dezhu from being inconvenient, and even Li Yiming is surprised: "This elevator is so magical, saving the trouble of climbing the stairs!"

Xiao Er said proudly: "This elevator is not a strange thing, it was originally used by the dock for unloading, and then an elder of my "Treasure Pavilion" saw it, and invited the skilled craftsmen of "Organ Gate", and changed it to use Yuan Jing as kinetic energy, and use it to use people to sit on the elevator, we call it "Yuan Ladder". This yuan ladder can ride more than 20 people at the same time!"

Li Yiming was secretly surprised, there are still such skilled craftsmen in this world, but seeing the financial resources of "Treasure Pavilion", Li Yiming was also relieved, money can make ghosts grind, and it will not be outdated anywhere......
