- Although his family has borrowed the name of the imperial merchant and climbed up faster, he really hasn't done any dirty things that hurt his peers. If it weren't for some reason, we had to tear our faces and do it, in fact, there are some basic morals in the business world, and everyone still has to weigh and abide by them.

But today, some businessmen have always wanted to do things that they had to suppress in the end, and it seems that Wang Chi's words have been done.

Himself has become a similar "accomplice"?

The call bill of 30,000 taels of gold lifted the bottom of the silver treasury of Yunxia Qianzhuang!

But then again, to live the silver treasury of Yunxia Qianzhuang again, it really only takes 30,000 taels of gold? Hurriedly estimated, Yunxia Qianzhuang, which has won many sought-after by Beijing merchants, turned out to be just a "paper tiger" with a principal limit of less than 50,000 taels of gold?

There are also rumors of the imperial businessman. Although Ruan Luo had never touched the true background of Yunxia Qianzhuang, because of his friendship with the third prince Wang Zhe, he was able to find out some more reliable news than the rumors before he returned to Beijing. The statement that Yunxia Qianzhuang did for the imperial family is indeed true.

Because although the royal family has gained a lot of benefits from doing business, there are also many disadvantages, so this secret has been hidden very deeply. If it weren't for the fact that Yunxia Money Village would have learned that the other four money banks in Beijing were ready to join forces to run on the bank, so they deliberately released some words to knock and knock, I am afraid that the secret behind this hidden money bank would have been hidden from the world for a longer time.

However, although there were words released, it was not very clear, and even Ruan Luo, who was so close to the third prince Wang Zhe, only vaguely knew that Yunxia Qianzhuang was probably the property in the hands of Hou Wei Yunhuai in northern Jin.

Wei Yunhuai, the Marquis of Northern Jin, is not very smart, at least on the road to fame, he has never taken the exam for most of his life. has no ambition, even his ancestors. Demengzu has accumulated shade for more than ten generations, and the Wei family has passed on to Wei Yunhuai's generation. Even if it can't be called a huge rich, it can be regarded as able to keep the industry stable in the turbulent times more than 20 years ago. So far, I have no worries about food and clothing.

However, the Marquis of Northern Jin was able to fief the capital of Jin and enjoy the worship of ten thousand households, mainly borrowing the blessings of his sister, the late Empress Wei Yunjue of the current emperor.

When Wang Chi was only a medium-sized general in the northern border pass, in the four years after marriage, his wife Wei Yunjue gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another. Helplessly, the climate in the north is cold and changeable, and Wei Yunjue has fallen into the root of deficiency in the confinement since Wang Chi gave birth to the next queen Qing. It hasn't gotten better.

Wang Chi took great pity on his wife, and sent a few people from his personal guard camp to collect famous doctors and elixirs in the northwest land. At that time, although the old neighbor Beiyan was extremely resistant to people with the face of the Southern Zhou Dynasty crossing the city boundary, the Xiaoliang State in the northwest corner had also seen a small trend and was more able to accept the visits of foreign individual visitors. The Wei family has a solid background, and is maintained by expensive tonics, although the Wang's wife Wei often feels tired and tired on weekdays, but she is barely able to get by.

But the world is unpredictable, Wang Chi's eldest son died of an emergency when he was five years old. gave his wife Wei Yunjue the heaviest blow to his body and mind, and since then, his body has deteriorated, and even taking ginseng gum soup for 300 years has no effect. In the end, it failed to survive the victory period when Wang Chi returned to Beijing.

Although it didn't take long for Wang Chi to be the emperor, he posthumously crowned his wife Wei Yunjue as the queen of filial piety Chunxian, but he always felt that he owed his wife too much in his heart, so he borrowed a reason that he could handle in front of the courtiers one day, and made his wife's brother Wei Yunhuai the marquis of ten thousand households, fiefdom the capital of Jin, gave him a hereditary title, and enjoyed the annual offering of ten thousand households.

Although Wang Chi did not hand over the real power of the marquis to Wei Yunhuai at the same time, except for an honorary title. Wei Yunhuai, the Marquis of Northern Jin, did not have the power to transfer troops, but Wei Yunhuai had no intention of being an official and manager. In this year, you can enjoy the annual autumn harvest of the whole people in Jindu, and keep it for your own use, and accumulate family resources year by year. Imagine that in the future, you will be able to easily save a large amount of money.

However, Ruan Luo, who knew who the real helmsman of Yunxia Qianzhuang was, looked at this fortunate event that was incomparably beautiful in the past, and obviously felt a little strange and unpredictable.

Wang Chi lifted the bottom of the Yunxia Qianzhuang Silver Treasury, and it seemed that he intended to check his brother-in-law! What's going on?

Relying on power for personal gain has always been a taboo for imperial businessmen, not to mention that Wang Chi is still a new monarch, and he should attach great importance to establishing his own monarchial authority, so during this period, as an imperial businessman, he should be more vigilant and restrain himself. Otherwise, if there is the slightest disobedience at this stage of the new monarch's position, no matter what kind of relatives they are, they are likely to be regarded as a negative example of shocking the government and the opposition, and will be ruthlessly taken down and punished.

But His Majesty's move this time was inevitably too sudden, and even a little like an accidental idea.

As soon as his thoughts came to this point, Ruan Luo suddenly remembered the Qingchuan War that Wang Chi had told him about when he first arrived at the bookstore an hour ago, and he seemed to understand something. War is the most financially consuming thing in a country, and the Wei family is originally a big family that does not lack silver, and in recent years, they have enjoyed the marquis's ten thousand households, and the wealth of the family is indescribable, could it be that there is something wrong here?

"Young Master Ruan?"

Suddenly, there was a light call, and Ruan Luo was lifted out of his distracting thoughts, Ruan Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that it was the thirteenth guard who was calling him, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”

"You just said that 10,000 taels of gold were exchanged for a fraction of these official banknotes, where did the rest go?" Although the thirteenth guard was a little suspicious of what Ruan Luo was thinking about, he was not good at intervening, but just completed his duties calmly, "Yunxia Qianzhuang will exchange the bill you issued into a large ticket for receiving 150,000 taels of silver, and then send the large ticket to the Hengtai Pavilion for exchange with your subordinates, and the official banknote is worth 28,000 taels, and the remaining 120,000 taels of silver are these six jade plates." ”

Ruan Luo quickly recovered the merchant's mind, and as soon as the Guard Thirteen finished speaking, he immediately said, "Where are the two thousand taels left?" What is the use of the jade medals exchanged for an average of 20,000 taels of silver? ”

"The purpose of the jade plaque is more complicated, to put it simply, it can be used to travel through the pavilion area below the Junwang Lodge. There are a total of six Junwang Pavilions in the Hengtai Pavilion District, that is to say, with this jade plaque as a reference, Ruan Gongzi can visit two-thirds of the Hengtai Pavilion District. Nothing to stagnate in. Thirteen explained to Ruan Luo as concisely as possible the main purpose of the jade plate of 20,000 taels of silver, but when it was his turn to explain where the 2,000 taels of silver were used, he hesitated. Then he said: "Two thousand taels, pack the nearest 'Yuwu Pavilion' from here." It's a great place to drink tea. ”

Ruan Luo listened to his explanation, although he had long known that the money spent here today would probably be repaid by Wang Chi after a night, but the first time he played this crazy game, he couldn't help but tug the corners of his mouth slightly. Two thousand taels can only be rented out here, but in Kyoto, even the title deed with the tables and chairs of the building are all bought out, and the value of a teahouse is so much.

For people who only have a house of gold and silver and no high-level status in the world, Hengtai Pavilion is really a good place to use silver tickets as firewood!

Thirteen noticed that Ruan Luo's face was a little wrong. Cautious about saying anything more, he couldn't help but glance sideways at Wang Chi. After getting Wang Chi's eyes, Thirteen immediately felt like he was amnesty, and hurriedly stepped aside.

"This bit of silver is used appropriately." Wang Chi looked at Thirteen and Ah Ping, who were already standing together, and said slowly: "You two will walk ahead, Thirteen and be careful, and the matter of spending money will be handed over to the two of you." ”

Thirteen and Ah Ping hurriedly responded when they heard this.

Ruan Luo heard Wang Chi's voice, and gradually regained his heart.

Except for a few independent courtyards, the guard rules in the Hengtai Pavilion area are generally strict on the outside and loose on the inside. The most troublesome formalities of the gate to Guò have been completed. After that, it will be much easier to walk. With a sigh of relief, Ruan Luo cast his gaze into the distance, focusing on the buildings in the museum area. Immediately afterwards, he saw a group of five people hurrying down a straight street in the museum area.

The four in the back of the five seemed to be dressed as guys in a restaurant and teahouse, and the leader was in Ruan Luo's opinion, the identity of the chief silver cabinet was obvious, and Ruan Luo usually dealt with this kind of person.

The five of them walked to Wang Chi, and the middle-aged man in silk clothes who looked like the head of the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and laughed, raised his fists and said respectfully: "Dare to ask, this is the old man Wang who came to Beijing to enjoy the spring, right?" ”

Of course, Wang Chi nodded, and secretly smiled that Yue Yu had not walked out of the palace, and the compilation work of the thirteen seemed to be more refined.

The identity of the visitor was confirmed. The smile on the face of the shopkeeper in the silk suit became even brighter, and he did not ask Ruan Luo's identity again. Instead, he made a "please" word to the right with one hand, and said preconceivedly: "It's the little shopkeeper of Yuwu Pavilion." With four guys, I came to greet the two distinguished guests. The floor in the pavilion is dusted, and the snow spring on the stove is slightly hot. ”

"Okay." Wang Chi smiled slightly, "The shopkeeper's courtesy is heavy." ”

Ruan Luo, who was standing half a step behind Wang Chi's side, was sluggish again at this time, and the title of "Zun Gongzi" fell into his ears, knocking his eyebrows up.

And the bodyguard Ah Tong, who was standing behind Ruan Luo, heard what Wang Chi said, and he had quite an objection in his heart: Two thousand taels for a few guys in the teahouse came out to greet each other, this is not a courtesy from the other party, right? However, his son-in-law's silver bag was cut severely, which is a bit heavy.

The guard thirteen and the bodyguard Ah Ping, who were at the forefront, had already begun to issue silver tickets to the teahouse guys, two for each person, and the official banknotes of twenty taels were exchanged for silver bills, and at least sixteen or seven taels could be obtained, and the smiles on the faces of the four guys were more real, and the taste of joy at that time.

Ruan Luo, who was slowly behind Wang Chi, couldn't get up quickly, and suddenly he saw Wang Chi look back at him, and said in a very soft voice: "Are you thinking about the matter of Yunxia Qianzhuang?" Or should I say that you have already begun to think about the matter of the Marquis of Jinbei? ”

Ruan Luo's eyes lit up, and he was very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that although he hadn't mentioned a word about his hidden thoughts, he had already been understood by Wang Chi so accurately.

Facing Wang Chi's gaze, Ruan Luo moved the corners of his lips, and was quite hesitant whether to say it, so he heard Wang Chi say softly: "So I just said that the thirteen flowers of silver are quite appropriate, and the sound avoidance effect of Yuwu Pavilion is very good, and it is more comfortable to chat there than to stand on this street." ”

Ruan Luo understood, didn't say anything more, just quickened his pace.

……

After leaving a copper coin at the wonton restaurant, the unkempt woodcutter who walked away quickly only bypassed one street and stopped when he reached a corner of the street where there were few people. After holding his breath and observing the surroundings for a moment, the unkempt woodcutter immediately kicked the stone onto the wall, and disappeared into the wall in an instant.

Settling in the backyard of a private house, the unkempt woodcutter walked around the main house for a quick scan, quickly scanning the four corners of the courtyard to make sure that no one was there. Turning his gaze, he swept to the location of the kitchen, and then strode away.

When crossing the threshold of the kitchen. His left hand had removed the weed-like hair from his head, and his right hand had rested the wood knife he was carrying on the stove. Then he hooked his index finger and slashed it to his waist, and the corset strapped, the tattered linen garment faded from the front placket, slid down his shoulders, and reached his right hand.

After taking off the sackcloth, the gray cloth shirt with narrow sleeves and short placket was revealed, cut and cut close-to-the-body, faintly revealing his slender and well-proportioned body. His back straightened. The arms are long and the shoulders are wide, which is not like the physique of a person who has been overworking all year round.

While his right hand wrapped the "hair" in sackcloth, his left hand quickly picked up the wood knife resting on the stove, and took advantage of the situation to slap the fire sickle that the family used to hang on the wall not far from the stove, and sparked several times at a very fast speed.

The crumpled sackcloth in his hand touched the spark, and soon a thin wisp of smoke rose, and the young woodcutter, who had no unkempt hair, stuffed the tattered shirt and wig into the stove, and then he took out a small paper bag from the narrow sleeve and poured out a black ball the size of a soybean. Crush between your index finger and thumb and throw your palm into the hearth.

The pitch-black stove suddenly brightened, and it was just a few sparks that were stained with smoke. In the blink of an eye, he spat out tongues of fire as if he had been demonized, engulfing the tattered sackcloth.

Scooped a scoop of water from the kitchen water tank, and cleaned the teeth that had not been washed for several days with the salt from the stove of this household. When the grime on the young face was washed away, the woodcutter put down a black hair tightly coiled on the top of his head, dipped his fingers in water as a comb, thinned it a few times, and then pulled out a new purple ribbon embroidered with white plum blossoms from the inside of the placket, and loosely tied the long, slightly damp hair behind his head.

Get out of this family's kitchen. It is difficult to find traces of firewood gatherers in the mountains on the young people who are already new. It was early afternoon, and the clothes hanging in the family's backyard were dry. But the young man just glanced at the drying rope a few times, and made up his mind. He did not go to pick up the clothes on the ropes, but went straight to the head of household.

With a tense wrist and a clasped thumb, the iron lock hanging from the door was like beans fried in a hot pan, and the door of the main house opened. The young man went straight in, then turned and walked into the bedroom next to the main hall, and opened the closet that stood next to the wall. His gaze swept over, and instead of taking the properly hung brocade robe, his gaze drooped slightly, and fell on a neatly folded heavy purple silk shirt in the corner of the cabinet.

Putting on the purple one, the young man instantly had a kind of businessman's temperament, and soon his eyes fell on the corner of the wardrobe, but he took a fancy to the size of the pair of mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes, which seemed to be the same size as the clothes of the man of this family, and the shoes fit well.

He bent down to get the shoes, but unexpectedly pulled out a handful of loose silver from the shoes, and the young man was slightly stunned at first, and then his habitually tight lips hooked upward. He poured out the broken silver and put it back in the corner where the shoes were kept, put the cloth shoes on, and the young man closed his closet, took the tattered cloth shoes he had been wearing, and went out of the house, and closed the door again.

As he closed the door, the young man threw the iron lock, which had just been torn open by himself with two fingers, into the corner of the yard, and a cluster of blooming wildflowers shook gently, submerging the slightly rusty lock.

Returning to the kitchen, and disposing of the tattered cloth shoes in the same order as the tattered sackcloth, the young man picked up the wood knife resting on the edge of the stove again, and stabbed it into the hearth, and made sure that the ashes, which were slightly different in color from the wood ash, had been burned out, and then he stood up straight, took two steps, and stood the wood knife next to a wood-splitting axe in the corner.

Out of the kitchen, the young man looked around the courtyard again, and suddenly a thought occurred to him, and he walked past the clothesline, and pulled a plain shirt hanging from the rope a little crookedly. When he had done this, he sighed softly with satisfaction, and finally kicked the stone up the wall again, and walked away in the direction he had come.

About half an hour after the young man left, the courtyard door of the house opened from the outside in, and a middle-aged couple walked in, but it was the main owner of the family who had gone out before noon.

The middle-aged male protagonist is slightly thin, with thin eyebrows and a long face, which shows that he should have some delicate temperament when he was a teenager. However, when people reach middle age, the corners of their mouths are no longer easy to rise, their pupils seem to be cloudy, and the expression of affection on their faces is also locked by the repeated life that lasts all day, making them mature but gradually getting old.

He walked behind the middle-aged woman, his eyes glazed over, and his face was drunk, as if he was going to visit some family or friend's house at noon. It was caused by eating too much wine during the banquet. In contrast, the middle-aged woman looks shrewd and has a calmer complexion.

But when the woman went into the courtyard. As soon as she swept to the door of the main house, she suddenly couldn't calm down.

"Boss. When we left before noon, didn't my wife tell you to lock the door? ”

The woman's voice was slightly louder, and the half-drunk and half-awake middle-aged man stiffened his neck when he was drunk. He finally opened his squinted eyes wider, and glanced at the padlock on the door.

After making sure that the door was not locked, the man felt a little weak in his heart, but he was afraid of his own lady's lion roar, and he was also carrying the strength of wine. I was a little unwilling to be in the limelight by my wife all the time, so I forced a somewhat obscure voice and said: "It's not that you kept urging and urging when you left, and the husband's family may have forgotten...... But I remember that I locked the door, otherwise how could the key be in my hand? ”

The woman lowered her eyes and glanced at her hand, she had just opened the lock on the gate of the courtyard, and the key was indeed taken from her husband's hand, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she thought of this.

But she quickly thought through a problem, and immediately shouted: "Our lock can be locked without a key, and the key must be used when the lock is opened!" ”

While the woman spoke. It seemed that she was about to snap her husband's fingers as a habit, but as soon as one hand was halfway raised, she sighed again and lowered it gently. Take a look at her husband's drunken and glowing red face. She only thought in her heart that she couldn't listen to anything she said to him at this time.

The woman's annoyance had just been suppressed by herself, and the corner of her eyes swept over the plain shirt hanging on the clothesline in the yard, and noticed that the crooked placket that had been washed was somehow dirty, and the fire in her heart suddenly rubbed up again, and she scolded: "Whose domestic cat is this restless?!" ”

Looking at the direction his wife was going, the man didn't need to open his eyes to see the dress clearly, he already knew in his heart what she was complaining about. Maybe it's because I drank wine and strengthened my spirit. He casually threw a sentence: "If it's dirty, wash it again, why do you have to make noise about everything?" Are you going to catch that cat? Quarrel with it again? ”

This simply adds fuel to the fire.

The woman turned around and said, "You don't need to wash these clothes, and you don't feel tired standing and talking, right?" ”

The male host finally realized the strict zhòng sex of the problem between the scenes. He shouldn't have answered at all just now, and if he continued like this, it was estimated that he would not be able to escape another dispute today, so he quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Although he has now saved up a shop and has a worry-free life, the capital of his business is all dependent on the dowry brought by his wife when she got married. The wife was born in a wealthy family, and since she was a child, she learned from her parents and learned well, and now this small family that is gradually getting richer, in fact, the main living silver is in the hands of his wife. Although his mind is a little dizzy at the moment, as long as his wife's voice is in his ears, he can't ignore the reality of this wife's respect for her husband.

Closing his mouth, the corners of his mouth were a little displeased, and the man walked towards the main house with his hands tied.

A few days ago, I met a childhood friend in Beijing, and I was invited to visit today, and at the lunch banquet, I talked about playing together in this small seaside town called "Koyo" as a child, and then experienced the turmoil in Kyoto and lost contact, and a couple of pee drank a few more glasses. In the afternoon, he came back drunk, but at this moment, he was quarreled with by his wife, and his dizziness was even worse, and he just wanted to sit down and rest quickly.

However, as soon as the man pushed open the door of the main house, he stepped in halfway with his front foot, and his wife exclaimed from behind him, which startled him again.

"Boss, is our family a thief?"

After a little calm, the man didn't even want to turn his head back, and said a little impatiently: "Don't be surprised, have you seen that family was robbed, can the door be so neat?" ”

However, as soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly remembered something, and the strength of the wine in his brain suddenly cleared up, and his legs and feet immediately became sharp, and he went straight to the bedroom on the side of the hall.

Opening the closet, his eyes widened slightly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly scooped up a handful of broken silver that was spread out in a corner of the closet, hurriedly filled it into another pair of shoes, and hurriedly got up, and the sound of light footsteps behind him was already very close. He didn't have time to close the closet, so he pretended to pick up the clothes inside, and was frightened by this nervousness, he faced the closet, and the blush that was washed up by the wine was much lighter, and a trace of doubt rose in his drunken eyes: the shoes were missing, and it seemed that he had really been robbed. But the silver is still there, so what's going on?

Before the man could think about it, he heard his wife, who had already entered the inner room, ask, "Why did you suddenly turn up the closet?" Did you really lose something? ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly muttered: "What are you throwing away?" I just spilled wine on my body during the banquet, and I came to find a change of clothes. ”

"Ahh Then you can just find a casual body to wear, and don't touch the clothes in this closet. The woman hurriedly approached a little closer, and muttered, "As my wife has said a long time ago, all the silk brocade in this cabinet is worn, and it is only worn during festivals, so don't break it casually." Go aside, and let your wife find it for you. ”

Push her husband away. Then the closet was closed, and the woman stepped aside, opened a wooden box that was placed next to the closet, reached out and rummaged through it, picked out a cloth shirt, handed it to her husband, and said, "Look at the hour, you don't have to go anywhere today, so wear this cotton first." ”

I changed into dry clothes and walked out of the inner room. The man sat down in the hall. Seeing that his wife took her own clothes stained with wine foam and went to the well, she was fetching water, and it seemed that she was going to wash her clothes immediately. The man couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, and secretly became entangled.

It's not easy for her to work hard to manage the housework, it's too young a husband to do this......

Do you want to sue her?

But if you sue her, you will definitely be scolded, right?

Don't sue her?

But it seems that the family has really been burglarized, otherwise where did the shoes go?

Obviously, I wouldn't do anything to put the silver in my closet, it's too stupid to be found directly......

Maybe...... Did she find out a long time ago?

No, no...... It's probably still a thief......

But do you want to report to the police? But once she reported to the official, it meant that she also knew......

Just when the male owner tossed and turned to no avail. After soaking his clothes in water, he moved a small stool and sat on a wooden basin to his wife, who was sitting in the main hall. The husband's family, who was also looking at this side in a daze, shouted at himself just now. She actually has some regrets in her heart at the moment.

I can't always speak softly like those famous ladies.,Everything seems to be too careful.,This should be where the husband has been patient with himself, right? But those ladies have been pampered since childhood, and there are maids and wives to serve the heavier work, which is like themselves, and they will teach their parents when they are young, and everything must be mastered by hand, otherwise even your things will have a chance to slip away from the gap.

After getting married, life was tepid, and the relationship between her husband and her husband was also so lukewarm, she actually knew what the problem was, but she listened to the homely chatter between the neighborhoods and aunts, so she lived to middle age but was more sensitive and didn't dare to let go.

After hesitating for a moment, the woman said lightly: "Maybe I was too surprised just now, looking at the time, it should be my son who came back from school." ”

When the man heard this, he suddenly figured out a question, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and said secretly: Yes, even I know that private money needs to be hidden in a place that can be hidden, how can the thief not take the silver when he sees it? How can there be such a stupid thief in the world! As for where did the shoes go...... It should have been before noon, when I left, the lady was urging me to hurry, and I hurriedly threw it away when I changed my shoes......

As soon as the man thought of this, his wife's voice came again, and her voice suddenly rose a lot, which startled him again.

"My son's bad habits have been committed again, he is as wild as a monkey, and the dirty hands on the clothesline must have been caught by him, and he drank cold water in the vat! From the kitchen to the outside, you can get water everywhere, don't you tell him that when you come back from school and want to drink water, you go to the teapot on the table in the hall and pour it? The water in the teapot has been boiled, and drinking too much cold water from the well will make your stomach hurt! When will this bad habit be broken? The skin of the mouth is chewed through, and it is still like that...... I think I have to fight if I can't do it, and I'll wait for him to come back later, and see how I pump him. ”

The wife chewed the words over and over again, and the middle-aged man wanted to tell her honestly, but in fact, he was tired of hearing it like his son.

However, after a moment of speculation, he finally gave up some loyalty to his wife, stroked his somewhat stuffy forehead, and only secretly screamed in his heart: My wife is fierce! Are you still finished? I won't sue you that I'm hiding money behind your back, so I won't be so stupid!

……

He wore other people's clothes, kicked other people's shoes, and used water from other people's homes, but he didn't take the private money hidden by his young husband, because the uninvited guest who broke into that house was very clear about what he needed and what he didn't need.

The young man who jumped out of the courtyard wall had white paint, eyes embedded with stars, and purple with purple clothes. It's hard to compare with a thief who walks in the day, except that his heavy purple silk shirt is a little old-fashioned. If you remove these, he actually looks more like a well-read man.

The young scholar in the purple shirt walked briskly as the wind. Soon left the small residential area, came to a bustling Jinyang neighborhood in the east city, and walked into a winery called "Deyi Building" in a proper manner.

After whispering a few words with the shopkeeper at the counter in the lobby, the young scholar took out a silver ticket with three seals overlapped from his narrow sleeve, and after the shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket carefully, his eyes lit up obviously, and his face quickly piled up a warm smile, and he bent down to pick out a key from the dense small compartment under the counter. Respectfully handed it out.

Following the leading man to the second floor, the young scholar suddenly stopped, called the man to stop, raised his eyebrows slightly and said a few words, and then took out a silver nug from the tight cuff. The guy who ran the hall responded again and again, took the silver nugget and put it in it, and went downstairs with a sneer.

Looking at the back of the guy who ran downstairs and completely disappeared into the staircase, the young scholar had a strange look in his eyes for a moment, and then he turned his head with a cold smile on his face. After glancing at the private rooms on both sides of the hallway on the second floor of this luxury winery, I finally took another step.

Take two gentle steps, followed by three heavier steps. The next two steps were lighter...... As the young scholar reached the seventh step in the middle of the aisle, a door to his right suddenly opened, and a hand reached out and dragged him in.

The young man took the key to the room number 2 of the second room, but he entered the third room of the third floor.

In this room, there is a man with a mouth full of mung bean cake foam. The man was about thirty years old, and he was dressed in a light blue cotton shirt, which looked neat and tidy at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could take a closer look. It must not be difficult to find a large piece of wet stain on his front placket, apparently accidentally poured from the teapot he was carrying in his hand and pouring into his mouth.

"Uncle Swordbreaker. Are you drinking again? The young man strode forward and took the teapot from the man's hand. It's not last night, we're here on a mission. ”

Perhaps no one knows that the four figures who left a line of figures on the seashore outside the east gate of the capital three years ago returned to the capital again in the days closest to that day three years later. And this time they went straight into the inner city, rather than spending a moment on the waterfront.

Like the gathering in Kyoto three years ago, the job of Oriken this time is still to wait and respond. But today he enjoys a completely different treatment from the stormy day three years ago, no longer sitting on the old boat swaying with the waves drenched in the rain and swallowing bitter wine, but sitting in the first-class decoration of the "Deyi Building" in Dongcheng District, accompanied by sweet but not greasy pastries, slowly drinking the refreshing fragrant tea and warm soup in the pot.

In the copper incense burner carved by plum blossoms, under the burning of a cluster of velvet ignited from the white charcoal, the balm made of tulip petals on the gold leaf slowly melts, and the wisps of invisible smoke float out of the incense burner and spread out in the private room of No. 3 C in Deyi Building. In this situation, it seems that there is no need to use wine to cheer up, and the feeling of fragrant fragrance makes people's hearts ethereal, alienated from reality, and teaches people to get drunk.

The folding sword that had been waiting for a long time couldn't hold back for a while, swallowed half of the bean cake made by the tasteless fang on the table, and felt thirsty again, so he directly picked up the white jade fine porcelain teapot at hand, and aimed the beautiful arc of the pot at his stubble and green mouth, and poured it together.

Of course, the tea sent upstairs with the famous bean cake will not go anywhere, and the fresh and slightly sweet taste makes Zhijian suddenly have an idea in his heart: If the things that the sect wants to do when they send people into Beijing this time, if they are really done, does it mean that these beautiful things will soon be unable to escape a catastrophe caused by the change of dynasty and be washed away without room for maneuver?
