Chapter 266: The Arrogant Shop Xiaoer
Only Feng Wuya was familiar with Yangzhou, so the work of leading the way fell on him. As a big family in Yangzhou City, few people in the Xu family don't know where their business house is.
At this time, although it was already evening, there were many pedestrians on the street. Everyone walked for nearly half an hour before they came to the gate of Xu's firm.
This place is the most famous street in Yangzhou - Fengming Lane!
It is said that the reason why this Fengming Lane is called this name is because this lane had a favored imperial concubine in a certain dynasty, so this lane is called Fengming Lane.
The past events of the previous dynasty have long been turned into the dust of history, and there is no way to verify whether it is true or false. But this alley has become the most famous street in Yangzhou City, those big merchants have their own shops here, so that whether you succeed as a merchant in Yangzhou depends on whether there is your own shop on this street.
The gate of Xu's firm is very large, and all kinds of decorations are also very solemn. At this time, although the sky was a little hazy, there was an endless stream of people coming in and out of the door.
Nie Shuyao didn't get out of the car, and went to the business house to ask Da Niu where they lived, it was Nie Tianxi and Feng Wuya, and the others led their horses and waited at the door.
Their horses are all good horses, and Nie Shuyao's car is also a good car, and none of the shopkeepers who are not long-eyed stepped forward to drive people. But the old man's car is not good, although the horse eats with a few horses raised by Nie Shuyao, and has also raised fat these days, but the car is really not good.
Then a shopkeeper stepped forward and said in an unkind tone: "Where did the poor old man come from?" Let's go! This is not the place where you can come. ”
The residences in Yangzhou City are distinct, and there are Yangzhou salt merchant residential communities that embody the "Fubi Prince"; There are also what later generations called commercial streets; There are also small shacks for the poor.
And Xu's Commercial Bank is on the commercial street, and the clothes of the shopkeeper are brighter than those in other stores.
The old man was a little annoyed when he heard this, and reprimanded: "You are the second little shopkeeper, and the dog's eyes look at the bottom of the people." Why drive me away? ”
While saying this, he didn't forget to look at Nie Shuyao's carriage, if it was in the way, this car would stop at their gate, and he should drive them first.
The shopkeeper sneered: "If you don't rush you, will you catch this one?" Sue you, only our eldest young master has this four-wheeled carriage in Yangzhou City, understand? ”
"What?" The old man didn't understand, it was Nie Shuyao who was sitting in the car.
And Nie Shuyao, who was in the carriage, did understand a situation. That is, the four-wheeled carriage brought by Steward Xu became their eldest young master's. What about Xu Guangfa? Has he lost ground?
Just as the two were about to quarrel, a wealthy middle-aged man walked out of the firm, and he respectfully said something beside Nie Tianxi and Feng Wuya. After seeing the four-wheeled carriage outside. His eyes changed, and he quickly beckoned to the shopkeeper.
After that, he smiled at Nie Tianxi and said, "It is really an honor for our Xu family firm to come from afar, this month." The goods brought by Childe's entourage are really in short supply. In this way, I'll let my little two lead the way for Childe. Rest assured, your entourage was arranged by the master to be in a nice house. ”
Nie Tianxi arched his hand and said: "In this way, there is a shopkeeper of Laoda." ”
"Haha, it's easy to say." The big shopkeeper turned around and pulled the shopkeeper and muttered twice. The shopkeeper ran to the firm.
Then, another shopkeeper walked out of the trading house, and he looked a little like the previous one. The two seem to be brothers.
The big shopkeeper said: "Little Five, take the distinguished guest to the Blooming Courtyard." Do you remember Xiaosi's words? On the way, good students lead the way. ”
Xiao Wu bowed and said, "Please rest assured." The little one understands. ”
They are speaking official dialect, and Nie Tianxi can understand it, but just now, the big shopkeeper spoke Yangzhou dialect to the shopkeeper named Xiaosi, so I don't understand.
He looked at Feng Wuya, who shook his head at him and motioned for a moment to speak.
Xiao Wu took them away, the others pulled the horses first, Nie Shuyao's carriage followed, and finally the old man's broken carriage that was still sulking.
The old man glared at the big shopkeeper before leaving, and said indignantly: "Hmph, dogs look at things that are low!" ”
Then the old man threw up his whip, and the horse was in pain, and ran away. He also knew that the big shopkeeper was likely to scold back, and he wouldn't be able to scold him back if he left.
"Humph!" Sure enough, the big shopkeeper was also suffocated by these words, flicked his sleeves and entered the trading house.
As he walked, he thought, the car just now was the eldest young master's car, and he hoped that Xiao Si's movements were fast enough.
It's not dark yet, but the big shopkeeper's eyes are so bad, maybe these four-wheeled carriages are too rare in Yangzhou.
The big shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, their eldest young master can show off, and he takes fox friends and dog friends to the streets and alleys every day.
Nie Shuyao didn't know what this big shopkeeper thought, she only felt a little strange, how could the shopkeeper take them so slowly, it seemed that they had just walked through this street.
Seeing that the lights were on and the sky was already dark, this little five was still walking in front of him unhurriedly.
Nie Tianxi also discovered this unusual move, looked at Feng Wuya and said, "Brother Feng, do you know about the Blooming Courtyard?" ”
Feng Wuya said loudly: "I have lived in Yangzhou since I was a child, and there is nothing in the streets and alleys here that I don't know, and I know very well where the Blooming Courtyard is." ”
"Then let's ask Brother Feng to lead the way. This little second brother doesn't seem to know much about this! Nie Tianxi's voice was also very loud.
Then, everyone stopped, and Feng Wuya said briskly: "Okay, everyone, please come with me." ”
Ignoring the shopkeeper from beginning to end, after they all turned around, the shopkeeper was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Young Master Nie, please stay, it's the little one who has taken the wrong path." Please come with me, and I promise that you will be able to get to the Blossom Courtyard in no time. ”
Nie Tianxi turned around and said with a cold face: "Is this true? ”
"Really! It's more real than silver! Xiao Wu replied as he spoke.
Nie Shuyao, who was in the car, sneered when she heard this, this is really a material for being a shopkeeper.
Jiang Wan'er on the side said: "I think there is a problem here, could it be that Yuqin and them are in trouble?" ”
Shui Lan said worriedly: "Miss, then we have to leave quickly." ”
Nie Shuyao shook her head slowly, squinted her eyes and sneered: "With Brother Da Niu here, there shouldn't be a big problem." I want to see what Xu Guangfa is paying attention to! ”
Jiang Wan'er slowly learned some of her habits, which showed that Nie Shuyao was angry. Then someone is going to be unlucky. She also likes to see others unlucky!
That Xiao Wu was right, after getting out of this alley that they had walked through several times, they set foot on the avenue.
The Blooming Courtyard is in the south of the city, and it is indeed some distance from Xu's Commercial Bank, and this place is basically a well-off home. When Nie Shuyao and the others arrived at the Juhua Courtyard, their stomachs were already growling with hunger.
But who can tell them why the door in front of them is so small? There is not even a name for the individual hospital. At first glance, it is the back door.
The crowd stopped. Xiao Wu said to Nie Tianxi: "This is the Blooming Courtyard." ”
Nie Shuyao took advantage of Xiao Wu's inattention, leaving Shui Lan and Jiang Wan'er to get out of the car quietly, and they wanted to go to the front gate to have a look. If something happens, it's in the front yard.
The two of them traveled lightly and walked towards the gate at a very fast speed, and soon heard the shouting of the shopkeeper called Xiao Si just now.
I said. The eldest young master of our family has taken a fancy to you, which is your blessing. Why don't you come with me? ”
Yuqin said sharply: "I! I can't afford to enjoy this blessing, so I won't have to persuade the second brother. ”
As soon as she heard this, Nie Shuyao ran over, and the two stopped around the corner. looked at the arrogant shopkeeper coldly, wanting to hear what he would say more, and turned his attention to her maid.
Xiao Si with two big men. At first glance, he was a thug, and with a wave of his big hand, he said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Isn't it just a maid? When her master came, let the eldest young master send a thin horse, and everything would be solved. Skinny Marco is worth a lot of money, and I've never seen anyone I don't like. ”
The two big men stepped forward and wanted to rob people, but they were greeted up and down by Wu Niang and Gui Yuan with sticks.
Gui Yuan scolded while beating: "Our young lady doesn't want to be skinny, it's all shameless things." Get out of the way for the old lady! ”
Xiao Si sneered on the side, "You fat girl, just stick our young master upside down, our young master is disgusted with his eyes!" Those who know will come with me today, or you will move out now. I want to see which inn in Yangzhou City dares to accept you! ”
Wu Niang scolded: "Something without conscience, we are the distinguished guests invited by your family master, aren't you afraid of being killed with a stick?" ”
She worked as a coachwoman in a large family, and she knew what stick killing was.
Hearing the stick killing, Xiao Si laughed again, pointed at them and said, "Sue you, your master has come." Our big shopkeeper is giving them a pick-up, and after a meal, we might sell you. Your Excellency is also talking about the master, but what are you? Remember it's a slave! Even the life belongs to the master, and it is not a matter of words to give someone away. ”
"Nope! Miss is not such a person, you don't want to talk nonsense! Yuqin immediately said accusatory.
Xiao Si snorted coldly: "Sue you, if you want to gain a foothold in this Yangzhou City, the words of our Xu family firm are heaven, offend our eldest young master, see who can help your master." If you really think about your master, you will obediently go back with me to serve our eldest young master, maybe the eldest young master can let you fly on the branch and be an aunt or something, then it will be our master. Ha ha! ”
Hearing this, Nie Shuyao clenched her right hand, eager to go up and strangle that little four.
Jiang Wan'er took her hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, you don't want your arm anymore?" Let's see what Celesley has to say. ”
Nie Shuyao understood what she meant, and wanted to see how Yuqin looked at her as the master in this situation.
The faces of the three women in front of the gate of the Blooming Courtyard changed greatly, they are slaves Yes, the lives of slaves and maids are so miserable.
Gui Yuan looked at Yuqin, tears flowed down his eyes, and he promised: "Yuqin, don't worry, I will protect you even if I fight for my life." ”
Wu Niang also said: "Me too." Don't be afraid, when the kid comes back, see if they dare to be so arrogant. ”
Xiao Si said again: "Are you talking about the big black one?" He didn't listen to our eldest young master and did things obediently. I said that you slaves and maids are really selfish, why don't you know how to think about your master? Do you have to have our eldest young master ban your goods? (To be continued) R466
