Mustardite, an extremely prized ore, is only found in very few places. It is an indispensable raw material for the manufacture of mustard seeds. And mustard seeds are indispensable spiritual weapons for cultivators to store items.

With mustard seeds, cultivators can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles when walking the rivers and lakes. Many things that cannot be taken away or cannot be taken away can be packed and taken away in mustard seeds. It is really the best choice for home travel, killing people and goods.

The world is hidden in the millet seed, and the mustard seed is Sumeru. That's what I said. It can be said that mustard seeds are all-encompassing and all-encompassing except living creatures.

Regardless of the size of the internal space, mustard seeds can be bought at a high price within a few moments.

For some reason, there has been no mustard seed production in Luoyang City for a long time. Mustard seeds began to become more and more strained, and the price of mustard stones began to rise again and again.

Many people buy mustard stone at a low price in the early stage, and then sell it at a high price, but regret it after selling it for a while, because the price of mustard stone is still rising. It has been rising for half a month and has not stopped.

Some thoughtful businessmen began to go to the major cities in all directions to buy and sell mustard stones, but the mustard stones on the markets in the major cities had been quietly bought out half a month ago. There aren't many mustard stones still in circulation. Countless merchants have to go to cities farther away, and this trip may not be returned until the following spring.

There are still a few days before the 100 million silver lottery, and many people are inexplicably gathered outside the Hongfu Money Bank. These people are not here to wait for the jackpot to be opened, but to withdraw money. The profit from buying and selling mustard stone is much greater than that brought by the money store.

A month ago, he was still in high spirits, and the shopkeeper of Hongfu Money Bank, who was tens of millions of silver, stood on the high platform and looked at the noisy crowd.

It is late autumn in the world, but the palms and backs of the middle-aged shopkeeper are full of sweat.

The middle-aged shopkeeper pressed his hands weakly, "Everyone be quiet and listen to me." When saving money, it is written clearly in black and white, and it will take a month before you can take two copies of the silver taels, and now the time limit has not yet arrived, and you can't withdraw the money, but please rest assured, the biggest shareholder of our money bank is the youngest son of Wang Shilang of the Ministry of War and the third young master of the Chen family. As a guarantee in their name, the money bank will definitely not owe everyone a silver tael, except for those who have saved money for a month today, they can stay and take away the double silver taels, and the rest of the people will wait for them to come back!"

"I don't believe it, unless you open the money warehouse and let us see if you really have money. ”

"Yes, now the whole Luoyang City is saying that you are liars, as long as you dare to open the money warehouse for us to see, we believe that you are not a liar. ”

......

......

The middle-aged shopkeeper quietly wiped the sweat from his palms, looked at the crowd that still did not retreat, and had to turn around and look at a man in a gorgeous robe behind him for help.

The man in the Chinese robe lightly closed the folding fan in his hand, stepped forward slowly, and pressed his hands weakly, "Everyone, I am Chen Xuanguan, the third young master of the Chen clan, I think many of you have seen me. So I don't have to prove myself. Please rest assured that the Hongfu Money Company behind me is indeed the property of my Chen family and Brother Wang. I am a guarantor in the name of my family, and everyone is willing to believe in me and keep the money in Hongfu Bank. Then I will not disappoint everyone. I won't be greedy for everyone's money. Brother Wang can also be a guarantee for this. ”

Chen Xuanguan, a man in a Chinese robe, looked at another man with the same extraordinary bearing with a smile, he had just found a big deal for a large number of mustard stones, and before the business was negotiated, a large number of people gathered outside the money bank, not to mention Yaxing, who disturbed him, and wanted to talk to this group of people by himself, saying that it was fake to say that he was not angry.

If it weren't for the buyer saying that he would be trading in the money store, he really wanted to call a few friends to take the buyer to the largest Tianxiang Building in Luoyang City to learn from those high-rollers who spent a lot of money, and also invited a few Oiran to drink a few glasses of forgetful wine, wouldn't it be beautiful!

Chen Xuanguan shook his head secretly, he could only blame those buyers for not having such a glamorous fortune! It seems that he had to go to the pastime with Brother Wang, thinking of the beautiful lady in Tianxiang Building, Chen Xuanguan's heart couldn't help but be hot, as long as he sent this group of people, he must stay in Tianxiang Building for three days and three nights.

Dongluo and the three of them were under a big tree on the side of the road, watching the excitement while waiting for someone to settle the bill and leave, the wine shop was not big, only after waiting for the previous table of people to check out and leave, there was a place, Zhang Baigui hurriedly went to occupy a position, Dongluo asked for a pot of wine, and poured a big bowl for Zhang Baigui and Xue Nianci.

The tables of the wine shops are not far from each other, most of them are noisy, some are playing wine and boxing, and some are chatting about interesting things about the rivers and lakes, but most of them are looking at the middle-aged people surnamed Wang of Hongfu Qian Xing and talking on the high platform. It's not for anything else, it's just a lively picture.

Dongluo raised his head and drank a big bowl of sake, the wine was not strong, nor strong, and he didn't know how much water it was mixed with, "The children of this scholar family are indeed different from ordinary people's families, you see that this surnamed Wang, although his intelligence is insufficient, but his bearing is still some." ”

Xue Nianci took a sip of sake from the bowl, spit it back into the bowl, and said with a smile: "The reeds in the water, the bamboos in the mountains!"

Zhang Baigui poured himself a glass of wine, sucked it up little by little along the edge of the bowl, and made a smacking sound, which caused a wave of disgust between the two.

Zhang Baigui put down the wine bowl and smiled embarrassedly: "What kind of bearing do these people have, it's just that they have been pampered since childhood, and they have had the opportunity to read more sage teachings than others." That's all there is to being a human being. ”

Xue Nianci said coldly: "What's the matter?

Zhang Baigui shook his head, "I don't have the slightest prejudice against readers, and I even sincerely admire readers." However, in my opinion, reading is also divided into people, either a person who is full of poetry and books, or a reader, nor a person who has not read a book and is illiterate, and is not a reader. ”

Xue Nianci wanted to sigh.

I saw Dongluo slap his thigh and said loudly: "This kind of person is in my hometown dialect, is light on both sides, and the inside is coarse chaff, so it is useless!"

"Righteousness!" Xue Nianci and Zhang Baigui laughed.

The next state of affairs did not develop according to Chen Xuanguan's prediction, and I don't know who spread the news that Hongfu Money Bank has no money, and now more and more people outside Hongfu Money Bank are gathering. are all waiting to withdraw money.

Chen Xuanguan had no choice but to come to the backyard of the money store alone, intending to immediately sell a large number of mustard stones in his hand to solve the urgent need of the money store, and originally wanted to stay in the store for a few more days, wait for the price to rise again, and then sell it out. Now it seems that we can't wait for that time, and if we buy it at this time, we can make a little money! Make a little less, but it's just turning Tianxianglou into a red-sleeved fast! There is nothing unacceptable. When the time comes, who else in the Chen family will dare to say that they are wastes? Maybe with this fund, they can even compete for the position of the head of the family!

The more Chen Xuanguan thought about it, the hotter his heart became, and his steps became more and more brisk.

Chen Xuanguan walked quickly to a middle-aged man in the backyard pavilion and said with a confession: "Boss Li, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Come on, let's move on. When the business was negotiated, I set up a banquet in Red Sleeves to apologize to Boss Li. ”

The middle-aged man got up and shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm going to disappoint Boss Chen, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Red Sleeve Zhai." ”

Chen Xuanguan Lang said with a smile: "What Boss Li said is also true, as long as you wait for Boss Li to buy this batch of mustard stones, wait for a few more days, and sell them, don't say anything about red sleeves, I'm afraid that Tianxianglou will also treat Boss Li as a distinguished guest." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Xuanguan with a smile, "Maybe you don't know Boss Chen!" The price of mustard stone on the market has dropped, and now the price of mustard stone on the market has gradually stabilized, only a little higher than before. ”

Chen Xuanguan stumbled at his feet and exclaimed, "How is it possible? Boss Li is not funny at all. Don't be fooled. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said seriously: "Boss Chen, I'm not joking with you, if you don't believe it, you can send someone out to investigate now." Just as you went out for a while, a large number of mustard stones poured into the Luoyang market, and the government began to adjust the market. It is strictly forbidden to buy low and sell mustard stone at a high price. So this time, the mustard stone is really going to lose to grandma's house. Now the price of mustard stone is still a little higher than in the past, Chen Gongzi, it is better to plan early. I wish Gongzi Chen to sit on the position of the head of the Chen family as soon as possible, and I will definitely drink with Boss Chen for three days and three nights in Tianxianglou. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the depressed Chen Xuanguan and chuckled and turned to leave. Compared with his own young master and his two friends, these people seem to be nothing more than that! It seems that the young generation in the entire Luoyang City has lost some color.

Li Chengliang raised his hand to block the top of his head, and looked through his fingers at the still dazzling autumn sun. I don't know if this year's winter will be cold or not, but it is certain that some people will not survive this winter.

"Li Chengliang came out. Xue Nianci looked at a middle-aged man who walked out of Hongfu Qian Xing and reminded softly.

The middle-aged man casually glanced at Xue Nianci and the three of them who were drinking and chatting in the roadside wine shop, and did not come over, nor did he mean to stop, but left directly.

"Smack!"

With a soft sound, the bowl fell to the ground. Several men who were drinking in the wine shop looked at each other, as if they had received some code, and slowly squeezed into the crowd.

"Shopkeeper, your wine is so good, the wine is strong, the wine is strong, my brother was drunk after just one sip, and accidentally smashed a bowl of you, I'm really embarrassed! Jang Baigui shouted loudly.

The old shopkeeper who was making an abacus turned red with shame, quite a bit of the charm of a crane and a childish face, and hurriedly waved his hand when he heard the words: "It's just a bowl, no need to pay, no need to pay." ”

Zhang Baigui suddenly looked displeased, "Shopkeeper, do you look down on my brother? My brother is the most honest man, and he can't do anything fake." A tael of silver is money, but isn't a copper plate money? If my brother wakes up and knows that I am so immoral, our brother will not be able to do it. ”

The old shopkeeper was silent, watching the black-faced strong man rush to the counter and throw down the silver taels, and then turn around and leave with the two. He doesn't take the money on the counter, and he doesn't take it.

Turning his head to look at the empty restaurant, the old shopkeeper accepted the silver taels and sighed. As if an important decision had been made, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, the grass and trees shake and the dew is frost, and the swallows return to the south of the bird.

There were only empty mud nests of swallows between the beams, and the geese and birds were flying farther south. Passing by Luoyang City, the cry was clear and bleak. How many wanderers who are far away from home can't bear to listen carefully, afraid of tears wetting their shirts.

Dongluo looked up at the wild geese flying in the sky, and his heart was inevitably sad, whether it was Weicheng or that distant planet. It's all hometown, it's all a foreign land.

In the end, to live and to live became a foreign land.

Zhang Baigui slapped Dongluo's shoulder with a palm and said with a smile: "Homesick?"

Dongluo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, and said, "I'm just thinking that people in my hometown should be thinking about me!"

Zhang Baigui gently patted the young man's thin shoulder, and everything was silent.
