Chapter 150: Trading, Moving Places
A sudden scene disturbed the original order at the city gate. /
The man in blue had been watching quietly from the sidelines, and he had planned to get back into the car after the conversation.
After a delay in watching the play like this, it was delayed for a while.
After a short time, he confirmed the condition of the convoy, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he stepped into the carriage and urged the coachman to drive the car to the busiest street in the national capital.
There, there are some of the largest shops in the capital of Sealand that sell items like rouge gouache.
Since he has this name, he has to sell the goods first.
There is no old man's carriage, and it is much quieter.
As he turned the corner in the street, the man in blue looked out the window for a while, and unlike other places, there were significantly more women than men on the streets of the capital of Sealand.
He recalled the procession he had just seen at the gate of the city, and it was a man who got up and down to answer the guards in the first car, and he was no less than forty years old.
Why this team came, he could guess a rough idea, the news in the Sealand Palace came out that a palace banquet would be held soon, and these people were afraid that they were also here for this purpose.
In accordance with his instructions, the coachman made a detour on the streets of the capital of Zealand, deliberately avoiding the boundary of the Yamen, the capital of the country, which was frequented by the most officials, and turned north in a small alley.
When we arrived at our destination, the weather was beautiful, and the rain had stopped.
The man in blue got out of the car and parked in front of a large shop on the street.
He asked the coachman to drive the carriage to rest under the tree on the side of the street, and he stood under the tree for a while before calmly moving up to the door of the shop
I slept a little late the night before. When I opened my eyes, I turned my head to see that the sky was a little brighter outside.
I was shocked. I got up quickly, and the first thing I did after washing up was to put away the booklet that I had read on the table for most of the night and take it with me.
I went all the way out, met Uncle Yuan in the kitchen, took two steamed buns and ate them with a cup of hot tea, and I rushed to the flower garden along the path outside the courtyard. The footsteps are hurried and do not stop.
On this day, Qingzhi also got up later than I expected, when I saw that I was alone in the greenhouse land. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She is the boss of the flower garden, I am a little follower, and I am more weak than her.
Arrange the potted flowers on the shelves and water them by the way. I was busy with my back to the conservatory door. Hearing the familiar footsteps outside, you don't need to look to know that it is Qingzhi coming.
I put down what I was doing, and when she entered the door, she didn't look very good.
I hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed her arm and asked her, "Sister, early in the morning, what's wrong?" “
My gut feeling is that something should be going on. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so direct.
Qing Zhi frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "It's just dawn." Someone from the Qingsi Hall came to the flower garden to look for me. ”
In this way, she got up a long time ago, could it be that she was tossing and turning in the warehouse again?
I thought back to the last time those two unkind people came, looked at Qingzhi in surprise, and my heart fluctuated for a while, and after a while, I didn't see her continue, and then I asked, "Why did they come?" ”
"Your Majesty ordered someone to redecorate the Qingsi Palace," Qing Zhi paused in her tone, "In order to move the place, another residence in the palace was temporarily given to Su Guijun." ”
Somehow, at that moment, what flashed in my mind was the layout of the Sealand Palace, which I had put a lot of effort into.
Deliberately ignoring the important points mentioned in the first half of Qing Zhi's sentence, I quickly asked, "Where is the new residence in the palace?" “
Qing Zhi gave me a strange look, as if she couldn't understand the key point of my question, a newcomer to the palace, if she told me the location, I was afraid that I wouldn't even know the direction.
How did she know that I had a good grasp of the terrain of the entire palace?
Qingzhi's eyes flashed, and after glancing at me, she bowed her head and fell silent.
I thought about what she had just said, and suddenly asked, "I'm afraid you moved to the closest place to Your Majesty, right?" ”
Qing Zhi really raised her head and stared at me, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "You guessed it right." ”
I thought about it for a while, and I couldn't help but think of where, it is said that the empress has spoken out to let him change the land, if he changes to another place, what is the point, only the closest place to his own will make today's Qingzhi feel tricky.
The last time the people who went back to the Qingsi Hall came to the flower garden, they couldn't ask for a booklet to show off their might, although they still had the opportunity to leave part afterwards, and the most important thing was still on me, but this time and that time.
Qing Zhi was able to speak out because Su Guijun had not been officially changed by His Majesty, and before the situation was unclear, when she encountered such a bully and a fake tiger, Qing Zhi wanted to stand up in order to protect the interests of the flower garden.
Now, it was as if a hand had opened the curtain that was covered, and the scene she saw inside was something she didn't want to see.
Even if I were to replace her, I would be depressed.
If you have a diaphragm first, you don't know if the people in the Qingsi Hall have gained momentum this time, will they find some reasons to find the flower garden from the beginning.
Qingzhi and I glanced at each other, and we both understood the unspoken meaning in each other's eyes.
Qing Zhi sighed, took a step closer to me and said, "Xiaoling, it stands to reason that even if that Su Guijun gains power, he can't threaten the people of Penglai Pavilion. “
She stopped talking, and I guessed the subtext she was going to say. "I know," I was stunned, then my eyes swept out of the window, and I said in a low voice, "I can't talk about threats, but now I have to hold a palace banquet, not to mention the cumbersome preparations, at this stall, if the people of Qingsi Hall are interested, they will come to us a little bit of blockage" "I don't want to disturb the national teacher for such a thing, he is recuperating now, and even His Majesty is rarely able to go to the main building of Penglai Pavilion, but the tonic of the reward is constantly being sent." “
Speaking of which, my heart is even heavier, but even if there are many things in the backlog, I have to come one by one.
I pursed my lips, looked at Qing Zhi and said, "Last time, I asked my sister about the guards who patrolled the palace at night, and now my sister might as well tell me what you know." “
The teacup was empty and continued, and the fragrant jasmine tea couldn't suppress the anxiety in my heart.
I stood up and walked to the edge of the shelf to look at the humble pot of comfrey sent from the main building, the leaves were green and strong.
Angelica gave me the flowers and plants, and I had planned to move them to my own room, but I changed my mind on the other hand, so now it still occupies a small corner on the flower shelf.
Turning my head to look at Qingzhi, I asked, "Qingsi Hall is redecorating, what else do you need the people from the flower garden to do?" ”
In my concept, isn't it time to put the end of the day, and then I need someone in the flower garden to be useful?
"Xiaoling, you haven't been to Qingsi Palace, so you don't know the situation over there, come with me later, it's clearer than I said."
"Okay, listen to my sister."
I brushed my hand over the pot and slowly stopped on the leaves of the comfrey
At the door of the shops in the capital city, the horse-drawn carriage drove under the trees to the outside of the shop.
The rouge gouache loaded on the car and some jewelry went into the lobby of the store.
The man in blue said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and the latter grabbed him and said in a cordial tone: "It is difficult for the prince to come to the capital of Sealand, and when you go back, don't leave the car empty, buy some rare gadgets in the city, and make a sum of money after you go back." ”
The man in blue smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you are an understanding person, I have this intention in mind, and I am going to stay in the city for a few days before leaving." ”
The shopkeeper was simply a hundred satisfied with the transaction just now, he had never seen such a careless businessman, not to mention the first-class goods delivered, and the price he asked for was much less than he expected.
When the shopkeeper was chatting with him just now, he heard that the other party had just taken over the family's business, and he was going to come with a steward who was familiar with the line and the inner joint, but unexpectedly the man fell ill halfway through.
Seeing that he was old, he didn't dare to take him on the road forcibly, so he had to stay in the inn and pay the money to the innkeeper to take care of him, and then bring it back the way after the transaction was completed.
This is the scene where the man in blue only brings the driver to deliver the goods.
At the beginning, most of them were not so shrewd, and the shopkeeper still left the bottom line, according to his hunch, it was okay to lower the price even more, but he was worried that once the young man in blue returned to his home in Huguo, he was afraid that there would be elders to blame.
In business, it is also necessary to do long-term business, so the shopkeeper's price reduction also leaves room for improvement.
At this moment, he heard that the other party still had to stay in the capital of Sealand for a few days, so he was very enthusiastic to introduce him to a place worth going to outside the city.
The shopkeeper talked endlessly, and the coachman who was waiting outside looked at it several times.
The man in blue listened to the shopkeeper's chatter with a smile on his face, the other party was old enough to be his elder, but Yu Guang saw the coachman's anxious expression.
Finally, the conversation came to an end, and the shopkeeper's politeness sent him out the door.
The coachman, who had been waiting impatiently at the door, hurriedly jumped into the car and urged him to dismount.
The carriage circled the street, and when it reached the north of the city, and seeing that it was close to the boundary of the palace, the man in blue asked the coachman to drive the carriage into a small alley.
Deep down the alley is a secluded house.
Get out of the car, enter the yard, close the door, and soon the alley is quiet again
After being busy for more than an hour in the morning, Qingzhi took me out of the door of the conservatory.
I walked with her on the path in the flower garden, and when I walked through the forest, Qingzhi asked me to wait for her for a while.
She remembered the style of the newly sent flower pots in the small courtyard of the flower garden, or the Lin De Hall urged to ask for it, she went to the Qingsi Hall with me, and the errand of sending the flower pots had to be handed over to Master Yuan's apprentice.
I hesitated to tell her, I learned it during the meal, and the tone of the little apprentice's speech was really worried that I would offend the palace people of the Lin De Palace, but Qingzhi was fast, and I didn't think about what to say, so I didn't mention it for the time being.
I waited at the edge of the forest, for about a quarter of an hour, and I didn't see Qingzhi come back, but by the bridge leading to the main building of Penglai Pavilion, two people came.
