At the end of the day, the gold-lettered plaque with "Zuochen Century" is hung directly above the door of the shop. Seven-colored banners with various goods are symmetrical around the main gate, inserted under the eaves, and swaying in the wind in a new way to tell passers-by that the shop is open.

The opening of the shop was shabby, and there was no congratulations from business colleagues, and no relatives and friends to cheer around.

Zuo Chen doesn't care about these hypocritical entertainment, and the boutique shops that have been planned for a long time are destined to have no chance with ordinary people. Ordinary people, who would be willing to spend five taels of silver to buy a hand-washing thing? A lamb belly towel is ten taels of silver, which is enough for a family to live a year tightly.

"If you don't open for a year, you can eat for three years if you open for three years." It is a true portrayal of the profiteering industry. Zuo Chen knows that he will not open for a year, as long as he opens, there will be huge profits, because the shops sell rare and unique. Dignitaries and nobles just like this kind of different, that is, luxury goods that can be consumed, why not make them a lot of money if there are such business opportunities.

"I believe that the propaganda materials sent to the prince will soon spread among dignitaries and nobles. All that's left is to wait for them to get used to it, recognize their benefits, and follow the guise to buy them. Zuo Chen patiently explained the shopkeeper's question, "This will be the easiest time in your shopkeeper's career, no one quarrels with you, no one cares with you." Although for the common people, it is luxurious enough to lose. For the tasteful and elegant people, this is an insignificant consumption. ”

Wang Ping was a little skeptical, but he was embarrassed to speak, his eyes glanced at the door from time to time, and he was really worried that no one cared about these novel goods, "Hey, shopkeeper Liu!" President Zhou! Fast! Come inside, please. After seeing the people who came in, Wang Ping was slightly disappointed. Obviously, neither he, Liu Chengxuan, nor Zhou Xudong are buyers.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to Liu Gongzi for opening a good business, and making money every day. Liu Chengxuan and Zhou Xudong arched their hands and congratulated in unison.

"Thanks to the auspicious words of two colleagues." Zuo Chen politely said, "Two, please go upstairs for tea." Looking at the silver ticket that the two handed to Wang Ping, he secretly shook his head in his heart. That Zhou Xudong was okay, Liu Chengxuan didn't know how much silver had come into the account during this time, and he had to spend a lot of money, and he would have to return the silver to him if he had an opportunity in the future.

"Roar! Two gods of wealth! A congratulatory gift of 1,000 taels per person. Wang Ping had a plan in his heart, and he shouted that he would come out just to avoid suspicion.

Zuo Chen didn't think it was a huge amount of money when he heard it. Zhang Youcai's eyes widened suddenly, thinking in his heart, my obedient man can pay it back, a thousand taels of silver can be used in the countryside, and he can buy a whole set of decent real estate and a large piece of land. So, Zhang Youcai hurriedly said: "The two of you, please go upstairs with your son, and I will deliver tea in a while."

The three of them just sat down according to the position of guest and host, "Bang, bang, bang!" ......" The sound of gongs opening the way came from far and near the street.

"Which one passed by?" Liu Chengxuan got up and walked to the window as he spoke, stretched his neck to look out, and exclaimed, "There are eight people carrying a sedan chair in front!" ”

Zuo Chen, who was counting the sound of gongs, was shocked, "The gong rings eleven, and the sedan chair is lifted eight times!" It's Prince Qing! As he spoke, he bounced up from his chair.

At this time, Zhang Youcai's voice came from the staircase, "Childe, it's Prince Qing's palanquin......" Then, it was the voice of "Tongtong" running up the stairs, "Is it not, the prince is coming to the shop." ”

Zuo Chen, who had already rushed to the door of the living room, replied: "I guess it is!" This old man, what a time to join in! As he spoke, he kept walking, and Zhang Youcai hurried down the stairs.

Liu Chengxuan and Zhou Xudong glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, the relationship between Liu Zuochen and Prince Qing is really different, and he even called the prince an old man! He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and walked down the stairs quickly after him.

The spacious commercial street has long been shunned by pedestrians. A servant sounded the gong in front of his head, and behind him was a sedan chair with eight people carrying a silver-topped yellow cover and red curtains, and then looking back, there were more than ten tin-topped sedan chairs, two of which were carried by four people, and the rest were carried by two people. The mighty and mighty are not majestic, and the passers-by are all frightened, and the three halls of the trial do not have such a big battle. There is no yamen on this whole road, where are the high-ranking officials and nobles going?

After just a while, I arrived at the door of the "Zuochen Century" shop, collected the gong and fell off the sedan chair. There will be no more people who can't understand it, unless it's a big fool. The idlers and others could no longer suppress the curiosity in their hearts, although they did not dare to move forward to see what was going on, and the voices of discussion were everywhere.

"Is it a new shop that opened today?"

"What identity? How could there be so many big names! ”

"Do you know whose shop it is?"

"Zuochen Century, what kind of business is it running?"

……

Zuo Chen didn't dare to be sloppy, so many eyes watched, walked quickly to Prince Qing's palanquin, knelt on his knees and said loudly: "Grandson Zuo Chen, respectfully Prince Qing Grandpa." ”

"Oh, this kinship is not ordinary." Someone saw the clue and said softly: "You don't need to call Prince Qing a thousand years old, but call grandpa!" ”

The prince who came out from under the curtain lifted by his entourage was full of smiles. Walked up to Zuo Chen, bent down to help him up, and said, "Get up!" Look, I've brought you all the ladies to cheer you on, are you satisfied? ”

Everyone who knelt on the ground as soon as the prince got out of the sedan chair all raised their heads slightly, secretly looked in the direction of the prince and Zuo Chen, and they were all amazed in their hearts. The prince actually leaned over and pulled up Zuo Chen in person regardless of his identity, which shows how much the prince likes Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen naturally understood that this was deliberately done by the prince. Otherwise, why didn't you help yourself once every time you went to the prince's study? However, this is more than one move on the street with many idle people, which is obviously showing an attitude - the backstage of the "Zuochen Century" shop and Liu Zuochen is that I invite the prince!

"Grandson thanked grandpa!" Zuo Chen said, and with the strength of the prince's hand, he stood up and walked over to the crowd crowded at the door of the shop and shouting "Wang Ye Chitose Chitose".

"Get up!" The prince said, turned around and waved his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, please!" ”

Fortunately, the living room on the second floor was spacious enough, but it was still overcrowded.

Zuo Chen asked for peace one by one, and he didn't finish it until he lowered his head and was dizzy. All the adults can be regarded as clearly seeing Zuo Chen, who beat Sun Yongquan's "stuffy stick", and they are all embarrassed in their hearts, and they are still a little shy when they see the harmless appearance of other people and animals, which has caused the officials of the Manchu Dynasty to panic for a long time, and it has only been a few days since it stopped.

"Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog! At this young age, he can be regarded as brave and resourceful! Xin Zhongguo, the secretary of the ministry, stroked the goatee on his chin and said meaningfully, and looked at Zuo Chen with a smile.

Zuo Chen dared to be arrogant in front of so many officials, but he just pretended not to understand. I slandered the prince in my heart, you have such a big battle this time, but it hurts me, and you have to take tea and pour water with a smile on your head.

"This kid is good! Take action when it's time to make a move, and there must be such a person to cure unhealthy tendencies, Xin Shangshu, you should thank Liu Zuochen. Zhao Pengfei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was playing haha, obviously facing Mai Mang with Xin Zhongguo at the tip of the needle.

There is such an art of dialogue in the court officialdom, and everything is not broken, just talking in such a vague way, and you can still understand it! Zuo Chen also vaguely understood that it was his own beating of the stick as the starting point, and he was overturned by the emperor and the bigwigs in the officialdom, and sought their own interests. It is not clear to Zuo Chen who is seeking what kind or how much benefit Zuo Chen has, but all the adults here know it.

The prince has long been accustomed to the intrigue between them, and the old god is drinking tea on the ground, and he does not say anything to stop it, and he doesn't know what kind of mentality he has in mind. The other officials are not as high as the official ranks of these two, so naturally they only have the share of watching the play, and if they want to sing a few words, it is also the time when there is no way to talk about it.

"Zhao Shangshu! Thank you Zuo Chen, but I also have to have a reason to thank you, right? Xin Zhongguo looked at Zhao Pengfei with a smile on his face, waiting for a solution.

"Oh, it seems that Xin Shangshu doesn't know something. I heard that Li Xingfang, who was fined by the emperor for one year, was transferred to the yamen of the criminal department. It's not like you don't know! Li Xingfang, who is praised by you as a '-stirring stick', can't be transferred to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials without your consent! Stretching out his hand, he stopped Xin Zhongguo from retorting, and continued: "Besides, it's not the time to evaluate merit and discuss positions, how can there be three protégés of a certain Shangshu who have been promoted and merged into his yamen." There are two people in the yamen of our military department who have waited for two years and have not taken their turn to take the test. After Zhao Pengfei finished speaking, he took the tea and drank it all, completely without the appearance of Sven.

In front of many officials, Zhao Pengfei exposed his old bottom, and Xin Zhongguo, who was already red-faced, finally couldn't hold back his face, "Zhao Pengfei, why are you talking so unobtrusively?" Your military department ......"

"That's it! Is there an end? It's not like I'm inviting you to fight. The prince spoke out in time to stop it, and these two lords pulled each other again, who knows how many things they don't know.

Zuo Chen finally understood that the prince obviously had a move to favor the military department, otherwise, why didn't he stop him from exposing Xin Zhongguo.

"Zuo Chen, I won't count here. Each adult brought them half a box of transparent soap and towels, and they said it was very good. Settle accounts directly, and adults have silver tickets on them. If the ticket amount is large, you can't find it, so you can move a whole box, or you can't find it, you just opened, and you don't have the money to find them. The cash ticket is collected first, and the goods are delivered according to the silver ticket. "The prince finished speaking." The sound of "poof" squirting tea, and the sound of "burp" being choked came and went.

Ladies and gentlemen, I never thought that the prince would come to such a hand, why did he pull it down without finding the silver, isn't this a robbery?

This cash ticket, even Zuo Chen was flustered for a while, and the one who lost the least was also five hundred taels of silver, and the worst one was the official book, who lost a full three thousand five hundred taels of silver, because he was a silver ticket of five thousand taels.

Zuo Chen pretended to be very embarrassed, "Grandpa, this number is a bit different, you see?" ”

"Look at your little bit of interest! What's the matter, you haven't paid attention to these little money, have you? Ladies and gentlemen! ”

Everyone nodded silently, but they were thinking in their hearts, you two wild masters did it on purpose, this is a blatant robbery of money!
