Chapter 215: Plans for Each Other
[Welcome to pay attention to the personal WeChat public account "Tiangao Chenyuan", share some reading experiences from time to time, recommend some books that can be read when there is a shortage of books, and also have some views on movies and television, if you like it, just take a look, if you don't like it, you can take it directly!]
[In addition, I recommend my new book "The Building Will Fall", I personally think that it can still be read!]
Covering an area of more than 1,600 acres, there are more than 200 different industries placed in it, not counting stalls and itinerant vendors, there are more than 40,000 fixed shops alone.
Don't look at the vast land and many shops, the Tang Empire has been prosperous for a hundred years, and the shops that can still be opened here are all people with great backgrounds.
The warehouse opened by Peng Ze occupies half of the street in the most central position of the West Market, mainly selling overseas rare treasures, and the amount is particularly large, spices and gems have always been weighed......
The guests not only include the wealthy and wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, the Goryeo and Wa kingdoms in the east, the Hui and the Yan in the north, and even merchants from various countries in the Western Regions will choose to buy goods from Chang'an that can only be obtained from more western countries, because the journey from Chang'an to the west is far safer than the road from the east from Dashi and other places, and the loss of goods is small, and the cost is lower.
The appearance of Peng Ze's warehouse almost cut off the livelihood of all merchants in the Western Regions, and when they came to Chang'an with a pitiful amount of goods after going through hardships and dangers, they found that this warehouse was dumping a large number of the same or even better goods at low prices.
Frightened, angry, and hopeless......
They had thought of countless ways and tried countless things, but in the end they only added a few more dry bones to the wasteland outside the city.
Desperate, they can only pray to the true God and try to let God destroy these evil sinners, but this sudden warehouse is still testing their faith in various gods in their own way.
At the top of a tall three-story wooden building, the eaves are as high as the clouds. The three big characters come from the south of the Fifth Avenue of the West Market, and they can be seen clearly from afar.
"Grocery store" is so vulgar that it can no longer be vulgar, but in the past two years, rich businessmen in Chang'an and even the whole world have praised its artistic conception of "returning to the basics......
Xiao Bai stepped into the door with lazy steps, and walked straight to an exclusive cushion, behind him, Lu Ying and Lin Xue led more than ten emaciated girls in, these children from poor families entered such a magnificent place for the first time, and they were so frightened that they couldn't move.
The guards hired by the warehouse returned one after another, and after someone rewarded Pan Ren with a piece of broken silver, the broker who took the initiative to come up left with a gloomy face after looking at the warehouse a few times.
After getting far enough away from the warehouse, Pan Ren stood silently on a street corner for a long time, and finally made up his mind to go to the agreed place.
In the warehouse, Peng Ze, who heard that Lu Ying was back, hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss, there is news from home that the big shopkeeper has returned home safely!"
"Really?" Lu Ying, who was just about to sit down and rest, stood in surprise and hurriedly said, "You can send someone back these people." ”
"Xiaoxue, let's go home!"
After speaking, without waiting for the carriage to be ready, he pulled Lin Xue and ran out of the door.
"Hurry up!" Peng Ze hurriedly said to the guards in the store: "You must not let Miss have an accident!"
In the past, Lu Ying usually had three or two teenagers around him to follow the guards, but now there are none.
Peng Ze was clear about the changes that had taken place in the compound in Dongshi, but when the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper didn't speak, he couldn't make any evaluation as a "subordinate".
Although he knew that the chief treasurer had never regarded him and the people around him as inferior "subordinates", even if he really got along in this capacity, it was not unacceptable to him, and it might even be more ...... Be down-to-earth.
However, these are only his personal thoughts after all, no matter what the big shopkeeper decides, he will resolutely support it!
Pan Ren worked the crowded street for half an hour, and finally arrived at this unsightly teahouse.
Lifting the curtain of the door and entering, the quiet lobby is not like the shops in the West Market, the only low table with people, two cups of tea are steaming.
The young man glanced at him and smiled.
Pan Ren stepped forward and sat down quietly.
"Taste the tea first!" the man on the other side raised his hand slightly.
Despite his restlessness, Pan Ren still drank this cup of tea honestly, and as for the taste, he couldn't taste it.
Seeing that he was uneasy, the person on the other side stopped rubbing, directly took out the pen and ink, and said, "Let's talk!"
"The girl asked, 'Look, miss, is that Hu man leading a camel?' and the other girl replied, 'Yes, this is a Bactrian camel, and it is said that there is a dromedary camel .......'"
The man on the other side wrote quickly, and in a short time he recorded all the scenes dictated by Pan Ren.
"This is the promised reward!" the young man stopped writing and handed over a bag of money.
Pan Ren quickly took it, reversed the weight, and nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, Pan Ren got up and left.
When the young man was about to leave, he suddenly admonished: "I advise you to leave Chang'an immediately!"
"I'm afraid I'll implicate you if I'm caught?"
Pan Ren is not stupid, he approached the two little girls for no reason, and was willing to pay such a big price in exchange for some "trivial" trivial things, if he didn't have ulterior motives, a fool wouldn't believe it!
Looking at the last place where the other party went, that inn has long been famous all over the world, how could he not know that he has been in the West Market for many years?
"Hehe......" the young man smiled and replied, "so be." ”
Pan Ren frowned and turned to leave.
To go or stay, where to go, these are all questions that Pan Ren needs to consider urgently. And for this young man with ulterior motives, the idea of a chess piece is not enough for him to bother, and the reminder just now is more out of good intentions.
"It's still the eldest brother who is comfortable, there is wine, there is a girl! I can only drink tea here......"
Complaining is complaining, and the young man still quietly waits in this deserted tea shop until it is about to dark.
said that as soon as Lu Ying got home, she pestered Xu Chen to ask for warmth.
"Brother Chen, it's so dirty in the prison, is it uncomfortable?"
"I've heard that the cell bosses are vicious, and you're not being bullied, are you?"
"What have you eaten for so many days?
……
Although Lu Ying's body bones have gradually opened in the past two years, she is no longer the yellow-haired girl she was at the beginning, and she is not as immature as ordinary girls after experiencing a lot of things, but in front of Xu Chen, she will always show the appearance of a little daughter from time to time.
At this moment, she also forgot Sister Yanqiu's requirements for "independence", "maturity", "stability" and so on.
"Alright, alright!" Xu Chen was overwhelmed, and said helplessly: "You have asked these questions almost eight hundred times!"
"How can there be so many ......" Lu Ying looked a little resentful.
Xu Chen had a lot of unsolved thoughts, and after patiently greeting him for a while, he pulled down his face and said in a deep voice: "Now you are also a big girl, you should talk about your mother-in-law's family in a few years, you can't be like this anymore!"
"Second child!" said, turned his head to Lu Hao on the side and said, "Go and invite a Xixi seat and teach Yingying well!"
"Did you just think about this now?" Lu Hao glanced at him and gritted his teeth.
"Didn't you run around before, you didn't have a chance!" Xu Chen smiled and said with emotion: "Now that you are married, and everyone has settled, it's time to live a good life......
Lu Hao turned his head and glanced at Xu Chen, the eldest brother's face was a little stunned.
"What do you mean?" Lu Hao said vigilantly.
"Nothing!" Xu Chen just smiled.
Lu Hao was even more suspicious, but when Lu Ying heard that she was going to find a teacher, she was still the kind of rotten Confucianism with a sour mouth, and she was immediately unhappy.
"I don't want any gentleman!" Lu Ying made a fuss: "Brother Chen, don't you teach us all your own lessons, why do you want to find another teacher?"
"Those ...... I taught" Xu Chen smiled and said, "It is estimated that I will be very busy in the future, and I will not have time to teach." ”
"If you really don't want Xixi, then it's not bad to find someone to learn from the girl, and if you find your in-laws in the future, you won't be disliked by your in-laws!"
"Who is going to get married!" Lu Ying was furious, and after stomping his foot hard, he turned around and ran out.
After the people left, Lu Hao looked at Xu Chen and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, do you have any plans?"
"I don't have it!" Xu Chen's tone was slightly deep, and he said quietly: "They won't give me so much time......"
Lu Hao didn't pay attention for a while, the eldest brother said "me" instead of "we" this time.
As night fell, the glitz of Tianxiang Building was to the extreme.
The teenagers had already been wandering, one by one like wolves and tigers, holding their respective maiko up and down their hands, and some of them were in a hurry, and they had already picked up their guns and mounted their horses, galloping on their horses......
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is like this, that is, to be dissolute in public, and others are only an interesting matter, not to mention that in this situation, who can take care of others?
"Where's Yulian'er?
The door was slammed open, and the disheveled Sheng Wang Li Qi broke in with the smell of alcohol.
The confused gaze searched the room, and soon fell on the beautiful woman beside Zhang Li.
"Yulian'er, let the lonely king find it!" As he spoke, Li Qi leaned over with staggering steps.
Zhang Li was not yet drunk, and when he saw the gorgeously dressed man leaning over step by step, his thoughts were roughly confused.
When King Sheng grabbed Yulian'er's little hand, Zhang Li reacted.
"This friend!" Zhang Li flicked lightly, and brought the unsteady Sheng Wang to the ground.
"I ordered this girl, if you want a girl, you can find something else!" Zhang Li lowered his head and smiled.
King Sheng, who was sitting on the ground, was obviously stunned.
He looked at Zhang Li stupidly, for a long time, and finally had a little thinking ability, and his face was even more flushed.
"Huh...... Hehe...... "King Sheng just laughed, and the laughter grew louder and sharper.
The teenagers who were running errands were so upset that they couldn't hold their guns......
"Damn, who's going to be a mourner?"
"! I'm going to kill you!"
The sound of squirming and dressing rang out.
Zhang Tianyi was not drunk, he saw the dress on King Sheng's body, and also saw that outside the open door, there were people dressed as guards who were hurrying from the opposite room.
So, frowned.
"Lord Wang!"
"Someone!" King Sheng saw that someone was coming, so he pointed at Zhang Li and said, "Kill them!"
The man in the room next to the teenagers had now walked out, followed by a man who was flying like a pen......
He's an artist!
