Volume 5 Downfall Beiwangyun Monument Chapter 10 Trading
Ten days later, Su Geweng took Su Mengling and Zhuo Hua to the City Lord's Mansion, and set off with them in four carriages. These carriages were filled with the Su family's grain books, caravan accounts, and of course, the heavy gold.
The news that the Su family was going to sell their wealth spread a few days ago, and the merchants and civilians all over the city got the news and came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion early today, wanting to experience this transaction that shook Moon Viewing City.
"Look, look, the Su family's convoy is coming!" a man in plain clothes pointed to several carriages coming from the east side of the street.
"It's really magnificent! It is said that all the books in it are the Su family's land properties and shops, as well as the land deeds and land deeds!" said a woman in her forties behind her.
"Why, have you seen the last two carriages? The ruts are so deep, and the things on the carriages are not light! Maybe they are full of gold!" said a sixty-year-old man beside the woman with an envious expression.
"Grandpa, what is gold?" the old man's grandson tiptoed to poke his head out to see.
"Silly boy, gold is money! such a gold ingot can buy your house!" said the woman, tapping the child on the head.
"Wow! The Su family is really rich!" The child, who was only seven or eight years old, let out the same exclamation in the hearts of all adults, causing a group of viewers around him to nod frequently.
"Hmph!" In the crowd, a fat man dressed as a businessman was silent, and looked at him coldly for a long time. Only when he heard the child's words couldn't help but speak: "After tonight, they will be like you." No, it may not be as good as you!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of fans, so everyone began to talk about the miserable days of backwardness in the Su family.
"Stop~~~" Su Bo made a long sound, and several carriages stopped their movements at the same time and stopped quietly at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's here, sir. Suber bowed his head and stood beside the carriage with his hands down.
"Got it. An old man slowly walked down from the carriage, this old man was very bad, and he didn't seem to have been well rested lately, and he was much older in an instant.
"Sir, slow down. Su Bo wanted to reach out to help a Weng, but his hand was pushed away by a Weng.
"I'll go myself. There was a stubbornness in his tone.
As soon as Su Geweng's feet landed, he instructed Su Bodao: "Go, invite Miss and Zhuo Gongzi down." ”
Suber nodded yes and turned to the second carriage.
"Wait a minute!", Su Geweng stopped Su Bo, "If Miss doesn't want to get out of the car, forget it, and if you go, you will make trouble for me." ”
"Who said I'd make trouble?" a crisp voice came from the carriage, and then a delicate little face came out of it, jumped and fell to the ground lightly. Then he immediately turned around and reached out to pick up Zhuo Hua.
"Big brother, be careful, today is your big day, there can be no accidents. Su Mengling smiled sweetly, and stretched out her hand to hold Zhuo Hua's arm to her chest.
Zhuo Hua got out of the car and looked around. He was visibly uncomfortable with the crowd around him. So he lowered his head and pointed to his arm that was being held and said to Su Mengling: "Ling'er, there are so many people here, you are like this..."
Su Mengling raised her eyes to look at Zhuo Hua, her big eyes were full of questions, "I don't care what others say, does my eldest brother care a lot?"
"No, no, no!" Zhuo Hua waved his hand repeatedly.
"You let go of me!" Su Geweng broke off and came from not far away.
"Sixteen or seventeen is a big girl, and she doesn't pay attention to her appearance outside. Pulling and pulling on the street, what kind of system is it?" Su Geweng's voice was not loud, but it exuded a sternness.
Su Mengling let go of Zhuo Hua's hand with an unconvinced face, muttering something in her mouth.
At this moment, the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion creaked open. A butler-like man walked out of it and went straight to the Su family.
"Master Su, please inside. The lord of the castle has been waiting for a long time. The butler smiled and led the group inside.
Su Bo walked two steps quickly, caught up with Su Geweng and asked, "Master, what should we do with these carriages?"
Before Su Geweng could speak, the butler hurriedly pointed to the wide open side door and said, "Enter the side door and go directly to the atrium." ”
Then he urged a family member next to him and said, "Hurry up and bring the car in! ”
Silent all the way, everyone came to the garden atrium of the City Lord's Mansion.
The greased lord of the castle had been waiting there in full costume for a long time.
"Oh, Brother Su! It's an honor to come as promised!" A series of polite words came out of the mouth of the city lord Yan Duyun.
"Brother Yan, let's be free of politeness!I've brought everything, what about the Qi Bead?" Su Geweng said with a calm expression and a cold tone.
"Pop" two applause, and the two servants of Twilight Cloud carried a beautiful three-foot square box.
"Open!" Twilight triumphantly crossed one hand on her hip and pointed at the box with one hand.
"Yes!" the two servants carefully opened the ornate wooden box, revealing one of the wooden boxes inside.
Su Mengling, who had just stretched his head over to find out, suddenly rolled his eyes. "Uncle Yan, you don't want us to see these boxes in your collection. ”
"How come, keep open!". Today, Smoke Twilight Cloud seemed to be in a good mood, completely ignoring Su Mengling's teasing.
A servant carefully opened the small box, revealing a crystal clear bead inside.
"This broken bead is also worth 10,000 taels of gold?" Su Mengling squeezed through the crowd, stretched her neck and looked at the Qi bead, disappointed. "I thought it would be so unremarkable when I opened it. ”
"Little girl, do you think this bead is the same as the jewelry you play with your dolls? Yan Duyun glared at Su Mengling, her face full of disdain.
"Yuanjun, come and inspect it. Su Geweng made a gesture of invitation to Zhuo Hua.
Su Mengling also jumped up and pulled Zhuo Hua to look at the Qi Bead. "Big brother, big brother, come and see, how about this bead? If it's not good, we don't want it. ”
Zhuo Hua just wanted to reach out to take it, but Yan Duyun immediately stopped him: "Wait, the Qi Bead is precious, you can only see it, you can't touch it." ”
Su Geweng stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Duyun and said, "How can you be so rude to Yuan Jun?"
Yan Duyun clasped his hands in front of his chest, squinted at Zhuo Hua, and sneered: "There is only business in the business field, there are no monarchs and ministers. The rules are the rules, and it was mine before I paid for it, and I can't touch it if I say I can't touch it. ”
Zhuo Hua withdrew his hand that had stopped in mid-air and slowly straightened up. "A very ordinary ordinary-grade fourth-grade bead, the skillful craftsman who made this bead is also very rough. He said lightly.
"I'll just say it's an ordinary thing! I'll tell you, girls are born with the ability to look at these pearl agate. Su Mengling found someone who supported him, and immediately took off his chin and looked at Yan Duyun.
"It's such a good bead, you can't find a second one when you go all over Xiqizhou. I dare to say that this craftsman's craftsmanship is not good, but this bead is from the hands of a famous craftsman. Seeing that their goods were being belittled, like dogs with their tails trampled, Twilight barked her teeth and barked at them.
"No one in front of me can say that he is a master. A rare conceit appeared on Zhuo Hua's face.
"Whether you buy it or not, don't buy it or not, don't talk too much about it. Twilight got angry and was ready to close the box and end the deal.
A hand pressed on the box, Su Geweng raised his head, looked at Yan Duyun and said, "I'll buy it." Start trading"
"Daddy!" Su Mengling stomped his foot and shouted.
"Oh my boy, this bead is really not worth this money. Zhuo Hua also persuaded.
"Now is not the time to discuss whether this bead is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Yuanjun, if you return to the Cloud Palace one day later, the people of Li in the world will be poisoned by the thieves of the secret clan for one more day. Money is more important than human life?" Su Geweng said again: "Let's start trading." ”
Yan Duyun nodded with a smile, opened the box with some praise, and said to Su Geweng: "Brother Su! Those who close up those so-called temples are more concerned about this country!"
An hour later, both parties have delivered the goods, signed the paperwork, and the whole transaction is completed.
Yan Duyun pointed to the delivery slip in Su Geweng's hand and instructed, "Brother Su, you can put this piece of paper away! If you lose it, you won't be able to prove that this bead belongs to you! Don't forget the rules of our Moon Viewing City!"
Su Geweng folded the paper in his hand four folds and put it into his personal pocket. He arched his hand towards Yan Duyun and said, "Thank you Brother Yan for reminding me, Su said goodbye." With a wave of his hand, Su Mengling followed Zhuo Hua, who was holding the small wooden box, and turned around and left.
The group walked out of the City Lord's Mansion quickly. At this moment, the crowd has dispersed, the streets are sluggish, and a cold wind blows, as if blowing a parting song from the end of the world.
When they come, they are clustered and empty.
Back at Su Mansion, as soon as the three of them sat down in the hall, Su Geweng urged Zhuo Hua to quickly push the Dingqi Bead into his body. "Yuanjun, please quickly absorb the Dingqi Bead into your body, I'm afraid that the old decay will change later. ”
"Oh, why do you have such doubts?" Zhuo Hua was a little puzzled.
"The old man simply doesn't trust Yan Duyun's character. Su Geweng stroked his beard, his face full of worry.
"Okay! I'm going to put this bead into my body. Zhuo Hua nodded, and reached out to take out the Dingqi bead from the small wooden box. According to the previous method of qi training, try to push the qi bead into the abdomen.
It is also strange to say that the Qi Determination Bead, which could slowly slide into the cultivator's body with a slight push, actually stopped at this moment when it was still half an inch away from Zhuo Hua's body, and no matter how much Zhuo Hua pushed it, he would not take a step forward.
"What's the matter!" Su Mengling asked with concern when she saw Zhuo Hua, who was sweating all over his head.
"My cultivation has been abolished, and now I am equivalent to a beginner, and I really need to try a few more times to integrate this Qi Bead for the first time. Let me take a break and try again. Zhuo Hua gasped and replied.
Su Mengling helped Zhuo Hua wipe his sweat and comforted him over and over again: "Big brother, don't worry, with your ability, you can definitely try again." ”
Just when Zhuo Hua was trying hard to get the Dingqi Bead into his abdomen, there was a noise outside the door of the Su Mansion, and dozens of people dressed in the uniforms of the servants rushed into the Su Mansion, led by one person holding a volume of documents in his hand, standing in the courtyard and shouting: "On the orders of the city lord, arrest the people of the Su Mansion." Those who resist arrest will be killed. ”
