Chapter 178: Li Chaozong's Money Bag

Meishu said to me, "Madame, rest, the son and the young lady and the slave will take care of it." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "She is also very amiable when she is not smiling, and she was personally selected by Zhou Sinian, which also made me feel at ease, lying down, covering the quilt, with the rhythmic swing of the carriage, and smelling the fragrance of the Ruyi bottle, listening to the children's sound of Yun Tuan and Ah Fu Jiao, I fell asleep very sweetly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, we arrived at Fancheng, which was the place where Li Chaozong reclaimed the border when he was the king of Chen. When Li Chaozong came to Fancheng, he began to expand Fancheng, which is the largest seaport in the southeast by the sea. Gradually, it became a place where merchants from all walks of life gathered, with many shops and crowds, and all kinds of blue-eyed and yellow-haired people walked through the crowd.

As long as there is money to be made, Sun City is indispensable. Sun City Fancheng Hall, located in the most lively place in the west of the city, looks inconspicuous guild hall, in charge of all the business of Fancheng Sun City, restaurant tea shop, song and dance club, as well as storage and transportation on the wharf, etc., no matter how big or small, all make decisions in this three-way courtyard, and it is also the beginning and housekeeping business of Sun City. It is the place where Zhou Sinian became rich with the support of Li Chaozong, and it is one of Li Chaozong's money bags.

When we arrived at the Fancheng Guild Hall, the Guild Hall had already received the news that it had begun to prepare early in the morning to go to the house, remove the idle people, etc., prepare a place for the sergeants and horses to rest, and have food. Director Ning of the guild hall is an ordinary-looking man, with a white and pure complexion, slender red phoenix eyes, a thin figure, and a cyan robe, who doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a weak scholar.

Ke Wu Xiucheng looked at the dishes prepared by the guild hall, shook his head again and again, and said to Chief Ning: "The Sun City Guild Hall has been in Fancheng for many years, and you have learned to do this?" ”

Without waiting for Lord Ning to answer, he said to me: "The princess knows that the people of this city do not ask about birds, beasts, snakes and insects, and eat them." I heard that the princess loves to eat wild game, do you want to give it a try with Xiucheng? ”

Although I longed for it, it was always inconvenient to go out, and said, "I'm afraid of a lot of inconvenience...... and turned to ask Ning, "What kind of game will the guild hall make?" Make it for General Wu to eat. ”

Director Ning replied: "Xiao Ke received a letter, saying that Mrs. and all the distinguished guests are from the capital, and Mrs. has a weak spleen and stomach, and the city lord specially instructed not to eat these wild meats, so I have not prepared, it is late today, and tomorrow will be good?" ”

Wu Xiucheng said: "You don't need to prepare, I have been in Fancheng for several years, and I know which store makes these foods the most authentic." ”

Lin Chenghong said to Wu Xiucheng, "I don't eat messy things," he pointed to the kabuki beside him, "They have to cherish their throats, and they don't eat, you better don't go out, stay overnight and we'll leave." ”

Wu Xiucheng said disappreciatively: "When you come to Fancheng, how can you not eat Fancheng's food?" It's a shame. ”

I was itchy by what he said, and I was about to ask Ruyun and Luzhu: "Are you going?" The two of them were also a little moved, and Ruyun replied, "If the princess goes, we will definitely follow, but we all have to change into men's clothes to move easily." ”

Then he said to Zhou Yang: "You don't have to go, help Meishu take care of her son and miss at home." ”

Zhou Yang opened his mouth wide: "Ah," turned out a long arc, looking depressed. can see Ruyun's face elongated, hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and nodded like a pounded garlic in agreement.

Seeing how cute they were, we all laughed.

For a while, everyone laughed and changed into men's clothes, Ruyun took out a few mustaches, pasted them on me and Luzhu respectively, but I refused to paste them, I and Luzhu pressed her down, and insisted on picking two of the thickest stickers on her lips, and then ran out with a chatter, and followed Wu Xiucheng out of the gate of the hall and came to the south of the city.

The south of the city is a gathering area for foreign shops, people with eyes of all colors and hair walking around the streets, and restaurants and teahouses abound. Wu Xiucheng walked to a restaurant with "Zhang Ji" written on it and stopped, and said, "This is it!" ”

I looked at the word "Zhang Ji" and felt that something was wrong, and I looked left and right, and found that all the shops, silk, tea, restaurants, and even pharmacies, under the guise of various styles, there were two words: "Zhang Ji".

I asked Wu Xiucheng in surprise: "All the shops in this area belong to this Boss Zhang?" ”

Wu Xiucheng smiled unusually, didn't answer, just beckoned us to follow Xiao Er upstairs. The little second looked like a girl, but he was a talker, and he replied with a smile: "This boy has good eyesight, and the shops on this street are all from our Zhang Yuanwai." ”

I said, "You're so rich." ”

Xiao Er was triumphant and said: "We are not ordinary people, we are the emperor's father-in-law, our young lady, is the mother of the palace, and that is the mother of the emperor's eldest son, Prince Shun'an." ”

I understand, we actually came to Zhang Ronghua's mother's house.

Xiao Er led us to the private room, opened the curtains, and had a panoramic view of the entire commercial street. He still had a smile on his face that could warm the iceberg: "Ladies and gentlemen, does this room look good?" Zhou Tong took out five taels of silver and handed it to Xiao Er: "Hurry up and serve the food, eat cleanly, and don't let idle people approach!" Xiao Er's eyes narrowed with joy, he screamed one by one, and left with a thousand thanks.

Wu Xiucheng said with a smile: "Guogong is generous, even the guards are so rich, this meal has not been eaten, and the five taels of silver are thrown out first." I am no longer a soldier, so I will go and wash the floor for the prince. ”

I laughed: "General Wu is really good at laughing, Zhou Tong is cautious, in this class of guards, Zhou Tong is the biggest, and he has the heaviest responsibility." When he goes out, he also means spending money to buy peace. These expenses will have to be repaid when you go back. ”

Wu Xiucheng said disapprenously: "Don't worry, princess, since Xiucheng promised the princess, he will not let the princess have an accident, this restaurant was originally his own person." ”

I heard him say "my own people" and asked curiously: "Did General Wu often come here to eat in the past?" ”

Wu Xiucheng said with emotion: "Yes! When I came to Chenwang's Mansion with my brother, I often came here to eat. Zhang Yuanwai is a good person. ”

I looked at him with interest and wanted to hear him continue. After he finished sighing, he stopped and looked at the shops outside.

I had no choice but to say tentatively: "I heard that Zhang Yuanwai is noble, and he wants to support His Majesty Kuang's restoration of the royal family even if he is bankrupt." ”

Wu Xiucheng laughed: "Yes, but after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he did not forget the Zhang family, but Zhang Yuanwai only wanted to take his son to do business, and did not want his descendants to enter the court as officials." The emperor gave this street to Zhang Yuanwai. ”

Seeing that I was about to open my mouth, he continued: "It's not much, Zhang Yuanwai was so rich before, and the emperor just took him out and returned it to him." (To be continued.) )
