The man next to Liang Jinzhao has a gorgeous costume with wide sleeves, a jade face and a slight beard, and a temperament like an orchid, handsome and elegant. As soon as I got out of the car, everyone paid attention.

Qian Yixiu didn't see this scene, but when he saw it, he would be surprised how familiar this person looked? Moreover, even the handsome Uncle Liang standing with him was compared to a young passer-by.

can't blame Uncle Liang for being a foil, it's really that this man's appearance and temperament are too extraordinary, no matter who stands next to him, he will be compared to the dull.

The next few people are subordinates.

When they came to the door of the Baoji Silver Building, the middle-aged man looked up at the plaque and walked in with his legs raised.

As soon as the shopkeeper Zhao saw the temperament of the two people at the head, he cheered up 120,000 spirits to serve.

The middle-aged man said, "I heard that you have a gold pearl from Nanyang in your silver building, can you take it out and take a look?" Don't worry, I'm just looking at it and won't force it to buy. ”

The voice was cold and slightly lazy.

This man is too good, and the pearl purple and gold crown he wears on his head has fully explained his identity. So even if no one introduces who he is, people who have heard of his name will guess his identity a little.

Listening to his request again, Shopkeeper Zhao knew who he was. He must be Pan Zi'an, the first genius of the Great Qian Dynasty, Pan Luma.

Pan Yuma is not only the first genius of the Great Qian Dynasty, but also the first beautiful man. Born in a family, his talent is unparalleled, although he is over forty years old, the "two firsts" are still unreplaced.

He won the championship at the age of sixteen and became famous at a young age. Later, Princess Ziyang took a fancy to recruit as a concubine, so he did not enter the Hanlin Academy, and was directly awarded the title of Rong Enbo.

Pan Yuma, who has the talent of the prime minister, failed to continue his career, but instead put his mind on landscapes and calligraphy and painting.

Pan has a well-known hobby of collecting pearls.

To be patronized by Pan is already the supreme glory of the silver building. If you can be praised by him again and buy a few beads, then our store will be more prestigious. Shopkeeper Zhao did not hesitate at all, and quickly bowed down and smiled and invited them to the private room on the second floor.

Before going upstairs, Shopkeeper Zhao whispered a few words to several nurses and Xiao Er, blocking the people at the door and not letting them in.

The floor of the private room is covered with velvet carpets, and the furniture is also mahogany. After the two of them sat down and served tea, Shopkeeper Zhao went to the third floor to get the gold beads.

The gold bead was locked in a safe on the third floor, and only the owner of the capital and the shopkeeper Zhao had the key in their hands. In this tin safe, which is connected to the wall, it contains the treasures of the three major town stores of Baoji Silver Building.

In addition to the gold beads, the other two treasures were worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. The reason why it is called one of the three treasures is that golden pearls are too rare. It's just that because it's not as heavy as those bigger beads, the price can't go up.

A moment later, Shopkeeper Zhao returned to the private room with a mahogany tray. On the tray is a mahogany carved makeup box, open the box, on the purple flannel cloth is placed a pea-sized golden pearl, the beads are round, golden in color, and the light can be seen.

Pan Juma stretched out his slender white fingers and picked up the gold bead, looked at it carefully under the lamp for a while, and said with a smile, "Well, round, noble, elegant, it's really a baby." ”

He turned his head and told Liang Jinzhao a few words about what was so good about this pearl, and Liang Jinzhao nodded frequently as if he understood.

After admiring it, Pan returned the gold beads to Zhao's shopkeeper very gentlemanly. Shaking his head regretfully, he said, "It's a pity that your store doesn't sell it." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao put away the pearls and said with a smile, "The villain only received a few good beads today, especially one of them, which weighs about six points, is pink and shiny, and is very good-looking." According to the person who sells the beads, he occasionally obtained them from foreigners many years ago, and the beads are indeed significantly different from the East Pearl and the South Pearl. ”

"Oh, please get it quickly." Pan Yuma's eyes showed a little joyful light.

Shopkeeper Zhao went to the third floor to put the gold beads and lock them, and carried a silver plate into the private room. The silver plate contained a large round box painted with foreign lacquer and gold, and when the round box was opened, there were four large and five pearls scattered on the blue flannel.

Pan Juma first picked up the big bead and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned sideways to Liang Jinzhao and said, "Zhao'er, look at it, there are a few golden threads floating in this bead, like golden light through the clouds, it is dazzling. This is different from the impurity spots on other beads, which are dusty to the beads, and these few strands of gold thread are the icing on the cake of the beads......"

Liang Jinzhao said with a smile, "After listening to Grandpa Pan's teachings, the younger generation has really benefited a lot. ”

Pan Juma looked at a few more small beads and nodded his head in favor.

Shopkeeper Zhao said, "Don't hide it from Mr.," Pan Horse likes to be called Mr. by others, and does not like others to call him Lord, Uncle or Concubine. There are many strangers in Baume & Mercier, and Panma is no exception.

As a businessman who listens to all directions, Shopkeeper Zhao also knows Pan Yuma's likes and dislikes. Shopkeeper Zhao continued, "To buy these beads, the villain spent a total of two thousand nine hundred taels of silver. If they can enter the eyes of Mr., it is also their blessing, and the villain is willing to transfer it at the original price. ”

Pan Juma waved his hand and said, "You are a businessman, how can I make you not make money." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said, "It's an honor for the store to be favored by Mr. Sir really has to be polite, the villain will accept three thousand taels of silver. ”

Pan Fuma nodded, and the subordinate took out the silver ticket to the shopkeeper Zhao, and put away the round box containing the pearls.

……

At this time, Qian Yixiu and Qian Yijin were sitting in Yixiang Building eating steamed buns, and their mouths were oily. The skin of the longan bun is thin and the meat is many, and the top of the bun is not sealed, revealing the sauce meat ball the size of the longan, which is delicious to look at.

Qian Sangui ate a few, then happily watched the two little people eat, and occasionally wiped their mouths with a handkerchief.

At this time, a few young scholars who were happy to come in sat down at the adjacent table.

I heard one person say excitedly, "It's such an honor to be able to see Mr. Pan today." Even if you only see the back of Mr., this life is enough. ”

Another said proudly, "I saw a side of Mr. Pan, and I think that Mr. Pan is even more noble and outstanding than the rumors." ”

One person smiled again, "Listening to the second child of Baoji Yinlou, Mr. Pan not only praised their Yinlou, but also bought five pearls. As soon as this word spreads, the business of Baoji Silver Building will definitely go to the next level. Not only will the students flock to it, but the women will also rush to buy jewelry......"

Several people boasted for a while, and boasted that Mr. Pan as a beautiful man and a talented man who is rare in heaven and earth, unparalleled in the world, and unprecedented.

Qian Yixiu didn't eat steamed buns anymore, but kept listening to the gossip. She was so curious, she asked Qian Sangui in a low voice, "Grandpa, they said Mr. Pan so well, could that person be Mr. Xizhou Academy?" "Xizhou Academy is a government-run academy in Xizhou Prefecture, the best institution in Ji'an Province, and a place where Qian Yijin wants to study in his dreams.

Qian Sangui shook his head and smiled, "Listening to their tone, it should be Mr. Pan, a famous man in the capital." ”

Qian Yijin asked again, "They all say that Mr. Pan is unparalleled in appearance, is he comparable to Lord Zhai Shuzhai?" ”

Wan Dazhong laughed and whispered, "Lord Zhai is far worse than Mr. Pan. Lord Zhai is a child of a peasant family, obsessed with his career and a good person. And Mr. Pan is just the opposite, born into a family, and became a princess, and was named an uncle. But he never regarded himself as a son of a family, an uncle, or a colt, and regarded power as dung. He is free and easy by nature, his talent is unique, and his danqing is even more difficult to find. When I was in the north, I heard that Mr. Pan was a fairy-like figure who was looked up to by all the students. ”

It turned out to be a colt! This legendary creature actually passed by itself. Qian Yixiu had some regrets, how good it would be for them to leave a little later.

Qian Yijin felt that Wan Dazhong belittled the idol he worshipped, and was a little uncomfortable, and said, "The temperament is as beautiful as an orchid, and the talent is more than immortal, these two sentences are like describing women." ”

Qian Hua said in a low voice, "When I was in the capital, I only saw one side of Mr. Pan from afar, a really fairy-like character. Brother Jin, don't take out what you just said, otherwise, those students who respect Mr. Pan will be unhappy with you, and those women who like him will also scold you. Before, there was a conceited and talented person in the capital, because he was dissatisfied with Mr. Pan's reputation, he said a few words demeaning to Mr. Pan in the teahouse, and he was beaten by several people, and was spat on by many women. ”

It turned out that Mr. Pan was a national idol, or a national minister. Qian Yixiu likes to see beauties, and after listening to so many rumors, she beat her chest even more, and she didn't have the opportunity to see the first beautiful man, but it's a pity.

Several people ate, and bought two cages of longan buns and went back to Qian Sigui's family to eat. Duoduo must love to eat this kind of bun, but now the weather is too hot, and it will be bad if you bring it back to Huaxi Village.

Next to Yixiang Building is an embroidery building, Qian Yixiu wanted to buy some good embroidery thread and silk for the little lady and aunt, and a few people walked in. Qian Sangui and the others were not interested in these, so they stood aside. There was a chair in the store, and Qian Hua moved in for Qian Sangui to sit down.

Only Qian Yixiu picked out the tip of her leg in front of the counter for a long time, and bought 20 strands of the best embroidery thread, which was for the little lady to embroider her "most beautiful flower in her heart". I bought ten feet of plain silk and thirty strands of slightly inferior embroidery thread, which were given to my little aunt, Qian Mandie and Qian Xiaoyu. I bought two beautiful embroidered handkerchiefs for Duoduo, and also bought some of the most inferior silk and embroidery threads, which were for myself and Duoduo Little Lori to practice their skills, and I also gave some to Xie Huzi's two daughters. In addition, five sets of embroidery needles and twenty silk flowers were bought.

These things cost twenty-five taels of silver. There are a lot of things, and there are two large packages, which makes Qian Sangui a little sideways.

When passing by the study, Qian Yijin went in again and bought some pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which he used for himself, and gave them to Mr. Zhang, Qian Manpo, Qian Yishan and others.

A few people walked around and rested, and bought things for the old man and his wife and some relatives. I walked around until the sun was setting in the west, and then I called a donkey cart and rushed home. Although the donkey cart is simple and does not block the sun, it can be used for sightseeing. Qian Yixiu sat in the car and looked at the streets and alleys of Xizhou Mansion with great interest.

This dynasty is somewhat like the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy was very prosperous, it was already in the embryonic state of capitalism, and the status of merchants was not as low as before. Moreover, the military is also relatively strong, and the Great Qianchao is one of the most powerful countries in this overhead world. It is said that the current Emperor Renzong is very diligent and good at admonishment, and he is a benevolent monarch.

Fortunately, in this peaceful era, although there are wars on the border from time to time, it will not burn here. It's just that the poor little daddy stayed there forever.

When I returned home, Qian Sigui hadn't come back yet. Qian Sangui was tired, so he went directly into the house to rest.

The two brothers and sisters gave Qian Manting some plain silk and embroidery thread, and Qian Manpo two pens and two inks.

Qian Yixiu quietly entered Qian Sangui's house and asked him for two big silver ingots for pocket money. can sell for so much money, it is all the credit of the granddaughter and Brother Monkey, and the granddaughter is not a person who spends money indiscriminately. Qian Sangui not only gave her two silver ingots, but also gave her one hundred taels of silver tickets, which made Qian Yixiu very happy.

Qian Sangui still wanted to give Qian Yijin, Qian Yijin shook his head and didn't ask for it, saying that it was rare for him to manage money, and he had to spend it to care about his grandfather and grandmother.

Qian Yixiu complained to Qian Yijin, "My brother doesn't want to take care of money, but Xiu'er likes to take care of money, why don't you let your sister take care of the money for you?" ”

These words not only made Qian Sangui laugh, but Qian Yijin also laughed.

Qian Yijin asked for a silver ingot and handed it over to his sister for safekeeping. He couldn't understand that there was no shortage of silver in the family now, but his sister's smile with the silver was still as bright as before. Xiao Zhengtai secretly made up his mind that he must be angry, earn more money, and make his sister happy.

The next day, Qian Sangui was still tired and continued to rest at home. also did not let the two children go out, saying that they were too good-looking, and they were remembered.

Wan Dazhong wanted to go to the general silver building to buy things, so Qian Yixiu asked him to help a monkey and three dogs make four silver collars, and gave him the size and a silver ingot. Thinking that the silver was too soft, and the mountain kings at home were too naughty, he let the four silver-plated ones be strong.

It was hot and humid in the house, and the four children came to the yard, and the branches of the big trees were luxuriant, and there was a breeze, which was still relatively pleasant. With the sound of quarrels next door, the manic sound of the dim sum room and the sound of acquaintances on the tree, Qian Yixiu and Qian Manting played a line, and Qian Yijin taught Qian Manpo to read and write. And Qian Sigui pulled Qian Hua to learn the experience of managing the shop.

Looking at this cramped yard, Qian Yixiu missed his big yard with a lake very much.

Seeing the Wang and Wei families who came out from time to time to wipe their sweat, Qian Yixiu was even more sympathetic. In particular, the two twelve-year-old apprentices, who were still in the sixth grade of primary school in their previous life, had to work in such a harsh environment. Because he was an apprentice, he was only given a symbolic amount of 60 wen a month. Oh oppression! Exploitation!

Unexpectedly, he also became an exploiting class. She told Sangui's grandfather yesterday if she could give them a salary increase, but Sangui's grandfather shook his head and said that this is the rule of the industry, and their family is not easy to destroy.

However, Qian Sigui and his family are quite kind, they prepare a lot of mung bean soup every day, and the food at noon is also good, and there is meat. I heard Qian Manpo's children say that the two primary school apprentices can eat it very well, and they must have eaten breakfast and dinner together. (To be continued.) )
