The day has not yet dawned, the East Market has been very lively, located in the Beijing Division, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is the most chaotic time, here is also a peaceful place, early in the morning, countless merchants and porters, shoulder to shoulder, take advantage of the east wind to come, around the pen shop, wine shop, teahouse, bookstore, there are acrobatics, playing the pipa singing girl haunts.

There are more than 200 lines in the entire East Market, which is really lively and makes outsiders stunned.

Hongchen has not been to play in such places, but he came here today to accompany a few young ladies of the Lu family.

A few days ago, there were a lot of things, Sister Yao, they didn't say that they were anxious, but they were also worried for a while, but now that things have roughly calmed down, they simply took the money they had accumulated on weekdays and went to Dongshi to buy some fun things for recreation.

Women want to be happy, shopping is the best choice.

Not to mention Sister Yao, Hongchen is interested, let people follow in the car, pick and choose by themselves, but all the small things that are eye-catching and have some wild fun are all bought back and piled up on the car, and after a while, there is a full car.

When she came back to her senses, Sister Yao couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said with a wry smile: "It's bad, I will definitely be scolded when I go back." ”

The Lu family has a strict family education, and the family will not run out of money, and the girls are taught to be chaste and quiet, so that the old ladies know that a group of girls and children are angry, and they have learned the methods of nouveau riche, and bought a lot of useless things back, saying that they must be punished for copying a few books to settle down.

"I bought everything, I can't throw it away, besides, it's all good things, and we won't suffer losses."

Hongchen laughed.

The gadgets in the East Market can be regarded as very delicate and easy to use, Sister Yao and they will be taken to buy a lot, mainly because these are rare in Jiangnan.

For example, a complete set of nuclear carvings, carved is the wind and moon in the capital, lifelike, the boat is still moving with the wind, take it back to honor the father, the father must like it.

There are also those brushes, paper, and good inkstones of various colors, and the sisters go out to salute, and it is also novel and interesting to take these.

Since they have already bought so much, why should they be scolded when they go back, so let's just have fun for a while, Sister Yao and they are very atmospheric, and they sighed, but they still can't help but continue shopping.

Here in the capital, it is a hundred times more lively than their hometown.

Hongchen was not very interested, sat in the car and followed, watching Sister Yao and them wander around, and unintentionally turned his head to see an acquaintance.

The third prince of Qi, King Chen Rui.

Chen Rui didn't wear any luxurious clothes today, just an ordinary cloth robe, but a person like him, no matter how simple he dressed, he couldn't hide his wealth, just look at the surrounding foot merchants who didn't consciously dodge and dodge, and didn't dare to come forward to know, everyone could see that this person's identity was not ordinary.

And there are at least thirty guards left and right, which is still on the surface, and secretly there are about more.

"Heaven is noble!"

Hongchen smiled, and didn't care much, these princes and grandsons are also people, white dragon fish suits, micro service private interviews or something, not only is it written in the script to look good, they will also do it, even if they know that it is not very suitable, it is very dangerous, it is a fool's behavior to risk themselves, but they can be born as human beings, how can they control themselves all the time?

Glancing at it, I saw that King Qi went around and went into a small shop, which was a tavern, incompatible with the surrounding buildings, and the surrounding wine shops and teahouses, not to mention anything else, most of them were clean and tidy, but this one was suffocated, the door was narrow, and the wine flags were stained with a lot of oil.

In this kind of place, not to mention a person like King Qi, he is an ordinary rich and noble son, I am afraid that even a glance will make his eyes dirty.

Hongchen was stunned, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and explained in a low voice, asking the coachman to talk to Sister Yao and speed up a little.

King Qi recognized her, maybe he also had some impressions of Luo Niang and Xiao Yan, so it was better to stay away and not run into her suddenly.

After walking a few steps, Hongchen puffed out his eyes, and saw Li Wang Chen Wei riding away, Chen Wei did not disguise himself, or was very flamboyant, a horse scurried left and right in the downtown area, so frightened that pedestrians gave way, no one dared to care, fortunately, his riding skills were really good, quite good, and he didn't hurt anyone in the city.

Hongchen hadn't seen this person for a long time, and he hadn't changed much, but his face was full of anger, and even his neck was red, obviously in a rage.

King Li has a bad temper, everyone knows it, but Hongchen knows that at least a large part of this guy's anger is deliberately made, because it is necessary to be angry, so he is angry, and he is alone like this, and his face is full of anger, which is about to be really angry.

He is angry here, maybe it has something to do with the King of Qi?

The relationship between the two princes is not good, and they have not dealt with each other, King Qi is the son of Yu Guifei, and King Li has always been unapologetic to him, even in front of the emperor, he rarely pays attention to him, and his head is also buckled with the hat of disrespectful brother, these two people get together, it is really not compatible.

Now Hongchen came to be interested, his eyes wandered, and he saw a restaurant opposite, with three floors, so he said to Sister Yao, first went upstairs and ordered a few refreshments, ready to sit for a while, first, you can wait for Sister Yao and them to have fun, and second, I want to see if I can explore the private affairs of the two princes.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't, it's out to play anyway.

In fact, King Li has run away without a shadow, King Qi got into the tavern and didn't come out, Hongchen couldn't see anything, just when the shopkeeper came to deliver snacks, Hongchen looked at it, stuffed him with a handful of copper coins, and asked with a smile: "It's strange to say, I think our side is quite prosperous, why is the tavern on the other side not tidy up, that look, there are also guests?" ”

The shopkeeper is also a chatter, seeing the guest asking, he was interested, and he didn't need to ask any more deeply, so he said mysteriously: "Guest, you don't know, the business of the tavern is very good, but it is a tavern on the surface, but it mainly sells wine." ”

While speaking, the shopkeeper's eyebrows danced, as if he knew some big secret.

Hongchen blinked, laughed in her heart, and made a deaf look, but said in her heart, she also knew a few shops under the guise of restaurants and restaurants, as well as the famous spiritual master news gathering place of Yan Jiuye in the capital, even the queen often frequented it, no, it is not unusual to say that it is not a tavern.

"To tell you the truth, if the guest hadn't asked the right person, he wouldn't have known that the restaurant is a place that sells pills and cures diseases."

Hongchen raised his eyebrows - this was unexpected.

"However, people do business also to watch people put dishes, and strangers buy and sell, and people don't do ......"

After saying two words, the shopkeeper digressed and shifted the topic to how the proprietress of the tavern was so beautiful.

"Hey, this tavern has been open for seven or eight years, and the proprietress originally looked ordinary, but in the last two years, it has become more and more watery, longer and more tender, and occasionally comes out once, which is very seductive!"

"Little Liuzi!"

The shopkeeper at the back obviously heard a few words, was very dissatisfied, and snorted angrily.

The shopkeeper shrunk his neck, and he also knew that he owed something, and what was a mess with a female customer, he hurriedly apologized with a smiling face, nodded and retreated.

Hongchen didn't embarrass him, he asked for a pot of tea, a pot of fruit wine, and tasted it slowly, this fruit wine has a very low degree, it is not intoxicating at all, and it doesn't hurt to drink it when water.

Less than half a cup of tea passed, and as soon as the dirty curtain of the tavern on the opposite side was lifted, a person rushed out of it, not King Qi, but a teenager, who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, with unkempt hair, blue face, and a look of anger, followed by a shoe.

"Get out, get out, die outside!"

The voice from behind was hoarse and unpleasant.

The young man gritted his teeth and glared at the curtain a few times, turned his head and rushed up to the restaurant here, just bumping into Sister Yao'er who was also going upstairs, and the maid next to him hurriedly protected Sister Yao.

The young man sneered, rolled his eyes at Sister Yao'er, ignored it, and ran upstairs.

When he got upstairs, he walked around in circles, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper frowned, obviously a little displeased, but he had scruples in his heart and didn't drive him away as soon as possible.

"Hey, sell you pills, do you want to?"

After walking around, the young man squinted, and suddenly stared at a middle-aged man with a round figure and dressed like a wealthy businessman, so he strode over and said in a low voice.

His voice is not high, and others can't hear it, but Hongchen's ear power is good, and he can hear it clearly.

The rich merchant was obviously very angry, and he opened his mouth to scold, but before he could make a sound, the young man said softly: "If you don't buy it, I will immediately shout, saying that if you don't raise it, you will be a silver gun wax head, hmph, when the time comes, see where your face goes." ”

Hongchen: "......"

The rich merchant obviously held his breath, but after all, it was not such a particularly tough person, and after a few big breaths, he threw out a string of copper coins, which seemed to be at least as many as a hundred and ten wen.

The young man didn't dislike it, and sure enough, he took out a pill from his arms, and said with a smile: "Go back and try it, it's easy to use, but you have a little money, just buy a pill, hehehe, if you think it's good, welcome to visit again!" ”

The rich businessman didn't care about eating, so he didn't throw away the pills, probably because he was afraid of this little devil, threw down the food money, turned around and ran.

The shopkeeper didn't stop him, sighed, and just hoped that the little boy wouldn't wander around when he was done, and leave quickly.

As soon as he came, the store didn't stop.

Hongchen is funny in his heart, he has always met bear children recently, and it seems that there are really a lot of bear children in the world.

Sister Yao had obviously never seen this kind of character, and her face showed a little disgust, but she was curious, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The other girls haven't come yet, and if they do, they probably have to look at them twice.

It's really this young man, not to mention anything else, in fact, he has a good face, even if he is hidden under the unkempt, but his facial features are still clear and delicate, if he dresses up well, he can't be a beautiful child.

Hongchen didn't plan to pay attention to him, but the young man weighed the money in his hand, hesitated, looked around, looked left and right, and saw Hongchen and them at a glance, he hesitated a little, but he still walked over.

At this time, the shopkeeper's face changed, he stepped forward to stop him, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Wei, usually you make trouble, I don't think it's easy to care about Boss Du's face, but you have always been measured, you know who you can provoke and who can't, and you don't look at the clothes of those women, is that what you can provoke?" ”

The young man gritted his teeth: "I am short of money, I want to treat my mother." Don't worry about you, old man, I can't be angry with you, you don't look at it, a few young ladies go out alone, they don't follow the elders, they definitely don't want to cause trouble, besides, I'm not a robber, just sell something, willing to buy and sell, where to break the rules? ”

"What is the lack of money, your father is so rich, he is really short of money, and he will not look for your father to go!"

"Phew, where did I come from, father, now I will depend on my mother, that man has his filial son and grandson, and it has nothing to do with me."

The young man's face was ruthless.

The shopkeeper's face also changed, and when he saw that he couldn't control him, he snorted coldly: "Forget it, if you don't bother to talk about you, you will die, sooner or later...... Hum. ”

The boy stomped his foot and sprang over in a few steps.

Sister Yao was taken aback.

Hongchen patted her hand and kicked off the chair with her leg, which just blocked the young man's leg and knocked him tumbling.

"If you have anything to say, stand there and say it."

The red dust is fluttering.

This young man is not an obedient person, and his temperament is stubborn enough, what people say, the kind that wants to carry it on his back, but at this time, he doesn't know what's going on, so Hongchen blocked a sentence, and showed a little cowardice in his heart.

However, he immediately came back to his senses, coughed, bent down, and said with a smile: "Two young ladies, you are so good-looking......

The maid guarding next to him was furious: "Dengzi, what nonsense, Miss is also something you can talk about." ”

This person is not angry, obviously used to seeing it, full of flowers: "Don't price, I am sincere, this little lady is also very beautiful, I see that you are all rich and noble, I have an ancestral elixir in my hand, which can beautify and nourish your face, so that you are sixteen years old, beautiful as a flower, why don't you buy some back?" ”

Hongchen smiled secretly in his heart, this young man is a slippery head, and he is quite thoughtful, he has a face at the rich businessmen, and he changes to another one for them.

Sister Yao'er's face flushed.

Hongchen is no stranger to this kind of small people in the market, and he will not be exhausted to deal with it, so he smiled and said: "Don't boast, although I have a dry face, I have no interest in your medicine, but it is not a problem to buy it, so let's ask you something, if you tell me in detail, I will pay for it." ”

The young man was stunned, he didn't expect things to develop like this, and his face was somewhat wary: "You ask first." ”

Hongchen didn't mind, and said softly: "Don't worry, I only ask one thing, when did the guests who entered your restaurant just now start to patronize?" ”

The young man was taken aback again, his expression was suspicious, and he was also a little disgusted, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were impatient, but he hesitated for a long time, and still spoke: "From ...... Last October, October 27. ”

Taking a deep breath, he remembered this day clearly, because on this day, his so-called father sent a sum of money to his mother, which made his mother cry incessantly.

Hongchen thought thoughtfully, took out a handful of broken silver, not much, but it added up to a lot, handed it to the young man, and said with a smile: "Your trouble is coming, let's leave quickly." ”

As he spoke, a series of footsteps crackled downstairs, and the boy seemed to have been bitten by a dog, and the girl jumped down from the other side.

Sister Yao was stunned, confused, and Hongchen didn't explain much, so she poured her a cup of tea.

"Have you seen the restaurant opposite, don't step into it in the future, the feng shui in that place is not good, it is yin to evil, and if you get a little bit of it, you will be unlucky for three years." (To be continued.) )
