On the busiest main road of East Street, a six-storey pavilion looks down on all living beings.

Strange skills and tricks are in the hall on the first floor, the elegant arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are evaluated on the second floor, the civil and military are separated from the third and fourth floors, and the fifth floor is only high-ranking officials and nobles can enter and talk about current affairs. As for the top floor, so far the world has not known how to climb it, which also adds to the mystery and unreachability of Xiaoyaotang.

The entire Great Xia was discriminating against people who were merchants, but anyone who had anything to do with the word business was a lowly person, even doctors and craftsmen.

But Xiaoyaotang has made the biggest business in the imperial city, not to mention the biggest business opportunities, and is admired and longed for by people all over the world, without the slightest humility of business.

This hall master is really a great vision, a great ability.

"Miss, do we really want to go in?" Lu Pingyu hesitated and said: "Then you go in, I won't go, so as not to lower your ......."

"Uncle Ping, we're just here to talk to Xiaoyaotang about business, you don't have to feel embarrassed." Lu Zhaojin interrupted: "What's more, Xiaoyao Hall even gathers those capable people on the most basic first floor, which shows that they know very well that these people are ......."

"What a joke, where did the yellow-haired girl come from here to make a big fuss." Before Lu Zhaojin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp laugh behind him.

Lu Zhaojin turned around coldly, and saw a girl in a pink Luo skirt stopping behind them on the soft sedan carriage dedicated to a young lady of the official family.

Because of their travel, the two of them wore white gauze hoods, so Lu Zhaojin couldn't see her face clearly, and the girl didn't notice her high bun.

"It turned out to be a lowly person from a merchant's background, no wonder his knowledge is so shallow." The girl in the Luo skirt swept away the extremely luxurious Lu family, but because of the restriction of business status, she could not use the carriage of the weeping flower spike, and she knew Lu Zhaojin's origin, and her words were even more inferior: "A cheap is a cheap person, and you still want to be able to climb the high branches here?" ”

The girl had already walked in front of Lu Zhaojin as she spoke.

"Since you want to climb the high branches, do your homework well, this Xiaoyao Hall puts strange skills and tricks on the first floor, it is because they are lowly."

"As lowly as a merchant pariah like you." The girl in the skirt covered her face and chuckled, pretending to elegantly put her hand on the hand of the maid who followed her, "I can't say anything more to people like you, I didn't belittle myself." ”

"You! Our eldest lady is ......" Hua Qiao was the first to refute, but Lu Zhaojin waved his hand to stop her.

Lu Ping also had a bad complexion, and regretted using the Lu family's carriage to travel.

He didn't know that Lu Zhaojin was going to come to Xiaoyaotang, a place where official ladies often haunted, so in case Mrs. Ye found out something, he didn't use the Ye family's carriage for this trip.

Who would have thought that Lu Zhaojin would be humiliated so much because of this.

Seeing that Lu Zhaojin just looked at her without speaking, the girl in the Luo skirt thought that she was afraid, and she became more and more inch-inch.

"But what? But the noble girl who has received an invitation from Siyizhai? The sneering of the girl in the skirt became more and more harsh, and even the maid beside her laughed out loud.

"There are naturally very few noble girls in Beijing who can receive invitations like Miss, how can it be the turn of such a businessman." The girl sang and harmonized with the girl in the skirt with a mocking face: "Let's go, Miss Chen Si is still waiting for you upstairs." ”

"Don't you dare to keep Sister Chen waiting." The girl in the Luo skirt was proud, like a proud peacock, and entered the building with her tail raised and her head raised.

Hua Qiao's eyes were red with anger, and she said angrily: "Miss, why don't you let the slave make it clear, see if she dares to be so proud!" ”

Lu Zhaojin didn't say anything, still reminiscing about the invitation of the Four Arts Zhai, and turned to look at the second floor.

She, on top?

"Miss?" Hua Qiao tugged at her sleeve, "The slave has already sent someone to let the carriage pick us up, we must scare her to death when we stay!" ”

"You!" Lu Zhaojin came back to his senses and said angrily.

"She's obviously getting carried away when she's been invited for the first time, what can she do if she goes up to the second floor, why bother to be like this kind of person."

Lu Zhaojin didn't want to mess up the original plan because of such a person, so he still entered the door calmly and let people hand over the famous thorn.

"Our landlord has been waiting for you for a long time, Neiyuan, please."

As soon as the name thorn was handed over, someone soon led Lu Zhaojin and the others into the inner garden, and that sentence of waiting for you for a long time made Lu Zhaojin feel like he had fallen into a wolf's den.

"Landlord, someone is here." The man sitting on the red sandalwood chair with his back to everyone waved his hand slightly, and the waiter stepped back respectfully.

Lu Zhaojin looked at it.

This inner garden is at the back of the main building of Xiaoyao Hall, separated by the Sifang Flower Garden and eight or nine extremely gorgeous small courtyards, located in the deepest part, and is extremely elegantly decorated.

Moreover, it is elegant and luxurious.

Any painting is worth a thousand gold, and it is rare that it is very unified with the overall style of the room.

This is clearly a collection of famous paintings can only be achieved after thousands of volumes, at the discretion of the owner.

With his back to Lu Zhaojin and the two who entered the door, the man turned around slowly, his voice was deep and frustrating, and it was extremely magnetic: "Welcome to my most powerful princess in Great Xia, please take a seat." ”

Lu Zhaojin raised his eyebrows, looking at the man in front of him who covered the whole with a delicate dense silver carved mask.

"I've seen the most powerful hall master in Great Xia."

"It's broken, it's broken, I'm just one of the seventy-two main buildings of Xiaoyao Hall, how dare I compare with the hall master." The brocade-robed man waved his hand and smiled, with a graceful bearing.

"If this mask caused the princess to misunderstand, Tang is sorry." The landlord clasped his fists and explained: "I also need to use a mask from the owner of the hall, from the surname of the hall owner, this rule, the princess will know the truth after a little inquiry." ”

Lu Zhaojin looked at Lu Ping, she didn't know much about Xiaoyao Hall in her past life and this life, and when she saw Lu Ping nodded, she was shocked in her heart.

Even a landlord has such momentum, Xiaoyaotang, it is really not to be underestimated.

Lu Ping also sighed.

It has been nearly 20 years since the establishment of Xiaoyaotang, and the momentum is unparalleled.

It is rumored that it is the eyes and ears of Shen Yunzhuang, which suddenly disappeared from the outside world, so it can rise from the ground so quickly.

Only this one explanation makes sense.

"But this matter is indeed the order of the hall master, it's just that it is inconvenient for his old man to show up in person." Seeing that Lu Zhaojin did not refute, the landlord continued.

"That's Zhaojin's recklessness." Lu Zhaojin smiled and saluted, but did not argue.

Whether it's true or not, how can it be so important.

"Since the hall master has ordered it in advance, presumably the landlord also knows why the Lu family came." Lu Zhaojin's voice was soft: "Then ask the landlord to make a price." ”

"Hahaha, Miss Lu is really refreshing and smart, as soon as she opens her mouth, she will lift my hole card in Xiaoyaotang."

The landlord was as kind as a stream, and when he heard Lu Zhaojin call himself Lu's family, not Ye Lu's, he called Miss Lu instead, but his words were quite sharp.

"It's rumored all over the capital that my Lu clan is tricky and arrogant, so naturally I don't have much patience." Lu Zhaojin spoke bluntly and said lightly: "The landlord, please." ”

"Then Tang is welcome." The landlord arched his hand, got up and said: "I have a good deal in this matter, and I have lost two good hands, so it can be seen that the girl is here, not just as simple as buying and selling news." ”

Lu Zhaojin smiled, but changed color when the landlord made a bid.

Lu Ping couldn't hold it back, and shouted: "It's really a lion's big mouth!" (To be continued.) )
