Nine Spirits Chapter 21: Bao Ling Zhai
When I woke up, the sky was bright.
The sun shines through the curtains, sprinkling its own remnants on the ground. The light rain in the middle of yesterday seemed to be paving the way for today's bright sunshine. All the people are in a good mood because of this sunshine.
It has been some time since he came to this Dayang County, and Fang Ze has not had a good grasp of the style of this county. It's just that when I accompany Zhao Rui to school on weekdays, I can simply glance at a few times. If you want to say savor it, there is no such thing.
After tidying up his clothes, Fang Ze touched his chest and glanced at his index finger. The belt was brought with him, and he pushed open the door and went straight to the cotton core room.
Since Fang Ze finished treating Zhao Rui yesterday, Zhao Tong gave Fang Ze a cotton core and a military carriage. This is also to make life and travel more convenient, after all, a family's worship can't do everything by yourself.
Gently knocked on the door of the cotton wick, and a woman in a light green shirt came out.
I saw this woman, tall, slim, plump and moving. He looks thirteen or fourteen years old, but he is very well developed. Fair skin, long black hair coiled on the top of the head. A pair of black eyes and a pointed nose are embellished on the melon-like face, which is just right.
Looking at the cotton core that slowly came out, Fang Ze was a little distracted. Usually the cotton core is plain, and there will be dirt on the face from time to time, and I can't see how outstanding it is. This is a little dressed up today, and it is so unusual. If Fang Ze was a real man at this time, he would definitely be able to carry a gun and fight for 3,000 rounds.
Looking at Fang Ze, who was out of his mind, the cotton core saluted slightly, and said, "Young Master Fang, is there anything going on today?"
Fang Ze was pulled back to reality by this sound. He turned his index finger twice, but forgot what he was about to say. I had to find a sentence to say it temporarily: "Sister Cotton Core, why are you so beautiful today?"
Seeing Fang Ze's words, the cotton core sneered and laughed. This smile directly hooked Fang Ze's soul.
Cotton Core said: "I'm resting today, and I'm going to go to the rouge factory with a few sisters." ”
Fang Ze: "Who is there anywhere?"
Cotton core: "You don't know each other, there are Sister Ling from the County Shoufu, Sister Yu from Huayang Mansion, and Sister Yang from the Sun family." ”
In any world, in any class, in any era, people are social animals. As the steward of the west room of the Imperial History Mansion, the cotton core is naturally the person she knows is also the person who counts in each government. Fang Ze was not interested in the name of the cotton core, but was very interested in the words Huayang Mansion and Sun Mansion.
Huayang Mansion controls more than half of the properties in Dayang County, and the most lucrative industries under its name are brothels and auction houses.
The Sun family is the smuggler in the city, and its status is second only to Huayang Mansion. The most important thing is that Fang Ze is about to have cause and effect in the Sun family, so Fang Ze wants to know about the strength and trends of the Sun family. After all, the Wind Bead must be obtained by himself, and he doesn't know what will happen after he gets it.
Always be prepared in advance, just in case.
Hearing these news, Fang Ze remained silent. Pretended not to care and said, "Miss Cotton Wick, I want you to do something with me today, you can see if you can push that party." I'll give you three days off in a few days, do you think it's okay?"
Mian Xin said in embarrassment: "I have made an appointment with my sisters, and they are also resting today." I missed the appointment this time, and they won't take me to play in the future. ”
Seeing that the cotton core was so difficult, Fang Ze knew that the plan had been completed.
Fang Ze: "If Sister Cotton Core is not like this, I will also go to the vicinity of the rouge factory today, or I will take you with a car." The military carriage on the left and right is also relatively large, and it is no problem to seat six or seven people. I'll do my business, and you play with yours. ”
The cotton core did not hesitate and readily agreed. For that military carriage, the cotton core has always longed to be able to do it once. Besides, it must be very face-saving to use that carriage to take your sisters with you.
The coachman drove the carriage and walked around Dayang County for a long time before picking up the other three. Taking four women and a child with him, the coachman asked, "Where are we going?"
Because I don't know if they have any other plans for cotton cores, they didn't say the word rouge factory. Fang Ze set his eyes on the cotton core, and the cotton core immediately understood what Fang Ze meant and said: "Take us to the fat powder factory first, and then you can listen to the worship of the adult." ”
Hearing the order, the coachman struck his horsewhip and walked away. In the car, the three women were very curious about Fang Ze. How could such a three-year-old child become the worship of the Zhao Mansion? I don't see anything outstanding about this child? Did Lord Zhao have his brain broken?
seemed to see everyone's doubts, and the cotton core said: "Xiao Fang Gongzi is amazing, my young master has a strange disease called bruising, and even that old man can't cure it." Xiao Fang Gongzi went up three times and divided five by two, and then he made the Zhao Mansion to worship. ”
Hearing this, the hearts of the people were clear. But Fang Ze really complained in his heart, what is three times five divided by two? That is half his life.
However, the words of the cotton core also reminded Fang Ze that a small plan was brewing in Fang Ze's heart.
Talking and laughing all the way, I came to the fat powder factory.
This is the most prosperous women's street in Dayang County, and you can know it by listening to the name, selling all the things that women love. As soon as I arrived at the street, the thick smell of fat powder came over. Women are very fond of this taste, and as a man does not like this smell. Those five big and three rough gentlemen only like the fragrance of fat powder on women.
Before getting out of the car, Fang Ze asked Mianxin: "Sister Mianxin, do you know which restaurant in Dayang County has good dishes and is distinctive?"
Without thinking about it, Mian Xin said: "Then the dishes in Xunyang Building are the best, and the rich and powerful people in the city go there to eat." ”
Fang Ze said: "In this case, at noon, you take your friends to Xunyang Tower to book a compartment and order a few distinctive dishes." I'll go over when I'm done here. ”
"Ah, go to Xunyang Tower, and the compartment? It's very expensive. The cotton wick was surprised.
Fang Ze said: "It's okay, I'll please." ”
Cotton Core asked with a little suspicion, "Do you have any money?"
Fang Ze grinned and said, "Don't you dare to treat you if you don't have money?"
"Okay" Cotton Core threw down two words and jumped out of the carriage.
Watching the four women disappear into the crowd on Fat Powder Street, Fang Ze ordered the coachman to "go to the Huayang Auction House". The coachman gave the order, whistled, and drove to the auction house.
There are three Huayangjia auction halls, and below each auction hall is the casino. There are some gamblers who gamble red-eyed and will definitely offset some treasures cheaply. Treasures that were sold the day before will be auctioned the next day.
And there are some treasures that are not in the world, and the Huayang family will also do exhibitions on a regular basis. As for when the auction will be held, they will go to the various prefectures to inform them. I have to say that this business acumen is really admirable.
After getting out of the carriage, Fang Ze glanced up at the plaque, on which the words "Baoling Zhai" were written. Obtaining it is the treasure of the world, the meaning of outstanding people. This is the largest one in Huayang Auction House, and there is not only an auction hall but also a treasure shop. The first and second floors are the treasure shop, and the third floor is the office area. The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are auction halls, and the first basement floor is a gambling house.
The little shopkeeper of Bao Lingzhai saw the carriage of the Zhao Mansion from a distance. Seeing Fang Ze jump out of the car, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. The man was smiling and flattering, as if he could smell the smell of copper from a distance. Fang Ze is just funny in such a decent place, how can the quality of employees be like this.
But for this little shopkeeper, Fang Ze still has a hint of respect. After all, people also rely on their own ability to exchange for a family's rations.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Ze said to the little shopkeeper: "I'll let you make a sum of money today, but it's your ability to earn more and earn less." ”
The little shopkeeper was a little confused when he heard this at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood, and his attitude towards Fang Ze became more attentive.
The little shopkeeper invited Fang Ze to the inner hall and poured a cup of Mingqian Longjing.
This Longjing before the Ming Dynasty is the Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival. Not only the taste and appearance, but also the price.
This little shopkeeper came up step by step from an apprentice. On the day he became the shopkeeper, the big shopkeeper gave him a small bag of Ming Qian Longjing.
This is the rule of Bao Ling Zhai, and every newly promoted shopkeeper will give a bag of Ming Qian tea. This small packet of Ming Qian tea is measured twice. If this small bag of tea runs out, the shopkeeper still doesn't have the money to buy the next one. That means he should roll up and go home, and he doesn't know how to do business?
The little shopkeeper stood beside Fang Ze and asked, "I don't know if you need something, little boy, I'll find it for you." ”
Fang Ze took a sip of tea and refreshed himself, and said, "This tea is good, bring me two catties." ”
The little shopkeeper almost didn't tilt his nose, and thought: "This is a treasure shop and not a tea shop, I want to drink tea and buy it myself." ”
For the customer's unreasonable request, the little shopkeeper could only say: "Childe, this tea is Ming Qian tea, and this is not for sale in this store." Our shop is mainly for the sale of rare treasures, do you think you need to add anything to this rare treasure?"
With that, the little shopkeeper put a booklet in front of Fang Ze.
Fang Ze looked at it casually, they were all cultivation supplies that were not very popular. After looking at it for a while, Fang Ze threw the booklet on the table. He continued to drink tea and did not speak. The little shopkeeper put away the booklet on the table, put the booklet under his armpit, and asked, "The little boy doesn't like these things?"
Fang Ze continued to drink tea and was silent.
The little shopkeeper smiled with a smile on his face, and his heart was already thunderous at this time. I thought to myself, "You little brat, what are you pretending to be?"
This kind of negative emotion naturally can't be expressed, so I have to continue to ask: "If you don't see these things, please go up to the second floor, there should be something you want." ”
Hearing the second floor, Fang Ze's eyes lit up. He put the teacup down and said, "Go check it out, after all, today is for you to make money." ”
With the little shopkeeper to the second floor, just walked up the last step of the second floor. Fang Ze couldn't move a little, there were all kinds of treasures. There are a lot of treasures, which are exactly what Fang Ze can use at this stage.
Without waiting for the little shopkeeper to introduce, Fang Ze watched it by himself.
Tiangu Dan: It can make a two-star late-stage powerhouse directly advance to the three-star level.
"Flowing Clouds Chasing the Moon": Two-star footwork supernatural powers.
Cold Condensation Sword: A low-grade divine weapon, infused with aura to release the true intent of ice.
Ten years of Ganoderma lucidum: It can build a foundation and replenish qi and strengthen the body.
Ruins remnants, exercise fragments, spirit beads, demon beast essence blood, one-star puppets, Guiyuan Zhuji Dan......
After walking past the first row of display cases, Fang Ze suddenly stopped. I looked at a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng for a long time, and I didn't move an inch.
In fact, what attracted Fang Ze was not this hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, but a book of exercises next to this mountain ginseng.
