The hustle and bustle outside the wooden door is unusual for people to come and go, what is this not the street market in the capital? I was suddenly shocked again, I went, even if this door is not an anti-theft door is also a soundproof door, this soundproofing effect is simply too good, just now I and Yue'er stood in the door but I couldn't hear a sound at all!

"Yue'er, look at ......!" I couldn't help but whisper to Yue'er behind me with surprise on my face.

Yue'er also poked her head out when she heard my shout, and saw the street market outside the door at a glance, and couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "Brother Bi, we are still in the capital...... ”

"Yes." I answered softly, took Yue'er's hand and walked through the wooden door.

As soon as I walked out of the wooden door, an indescribable sense of relief spread all over my body, and then I took a deep breath of air.

"Yue'er, let's hurry home!" I turned my head and glanced at Yue'er, then took Yue'er's hand and left, before leaving, I didn't forget to turn my head to look at the wooden door behind me, hum, when I am safe, I will take the four heroes of the capital and Mo Lu Caoquan to raid your nest, let you copy all over the door, wipe the ......!

As soon as Yue'er and I went to the market, we hurriedly walked forward after mixing into the crowd, anyway, this is still the capital, no matter how you go, you won't lose it, although passers-by don't know where the Lu Dao Bi Mansion is, but they will definitely know where the Ming Wangfu is, as long as we find the Ming Wangfu, we will be safe.

I just took Yue'er's hand and walked wildly, and gradually the sun was already overhead, but we haven't found the gate of the Ming Palace.

"Brother Bi......, I'm a little tired!" Yue'er followed me in a hurry all morning, and she was a little out of breath at this time.

"Good. Let's find a teahouse for a cup of tea and then let's go! I said casually, but my head suddenly remembered what Yuqiong had said before. There are a lot of industries under the Ming Wangfu in this capital, maybe I will accidentally break into a teahouse in the Ming Wangfu!

Yue'er and I walked around looking for teahouses on both sides of the market. After a while, I saw a teahouse with a small storefront, and I didn't bother to look at the signboard, so I walked in with Yue'er.

"Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, the shop is full, please go and have a look elsewhere!" As soon as he walked into the door of the teahouse, the shopkeeper greeted him and said apologetically.

"Full?" I tilted my head to look at him and exclaimed, "Don't think we don't have any money on us. Your benefits are indispensable. ”

"Guest, you misunderstood, our small shop is really full, don't believe it!" The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and dodged to the side, so that I could see the hall of the teahouse clearly.

I looked up, and saw that there was no free table and chair in this small teahouse, and there were three or five old men drinking tea sitting next to each wooden table, and each of them had a solemn look on their faces, as if they were discussing something. Even on the empty chairs on the side sat a few old men with strong expressions, and they could see the same solemnity.

I looked around for a while before I looked at the shopkeeper and asked in a low voice, "Are they here for a meeting?" ”

"Meeting?" The shopkeeper looked at me puzzled.

"Uh...... I mean, they're sitting here. Is there something to discuss? I explained.

"They are all business leaders in the capital, and they are gathered here to discuss the matter of the imperial examination in half a month." The shopkeeper replied quietly.

"A business tycoon? Discuss the imperial examination? I couldn't help muttering to myself, it seems that these two things have nothing to do with each other at all, right?! The business tycoon does not honestly stay at home, serve his wife and concubine, and think about how to do business. What did you do here to discuss the imperial examination?

When the shopkeeper heard my question, he didn't explain much. Just look at me.

I looked around and didn't find any empty wooden tables, so I turned around and left. "Yue'er, let's go, let's go to another house and have a look."

"Is this ...... Bi Gongzi?" Just as Yue'er and I turned around to leave, an old voice suddenly came from behind us.

I followed the sound and looked around, and saw an old man in black brocade sitting at a small wooden table, with a square hat on his head, and a kind eyebrow as if he were an abbot, looking at me with a smile on his face.

When I saw it, I wondered, where did I seem to have seen this old man?!

"Ha Lu Ha ......, Brother Liu still has good eyesight, it's really Bi Gongzi!" Before I could remember who this old man was, the old man who was not tall but slightly chubby sat next to him smiled and said, I looked up and saw that it was even more strange, I really wanted to see this fat old man.

"Shopkeeper Yue is laughing again." The old man who was called 'Brother Liu' smiled faintly and beckoned to me, "Master Bi, since we met is fate, how about coming over for a cup of tea?" ”

I didn't respond, took Yue'er's hand and slowly walked to the wooden table and sat down.

As soon as the two of us sat down, the old man, known as 'Brother Liu', beckoned the shopkeeper to pour tea for us, and the shopkeeper didn't ask much when he saw this, and poured a cup of tea for me and Yue'er.

The chubby old man looked me up and down, and said, "Bi Gongzi, I haven't seen the old man for a while since I last saw him, and I don't want Bi Gongzi to be much stronger again!" ”

"Shopkeeper Yue praised it." I called him 'Shopkeeper Yue' according to the old man's name just now, but my mind was still searching for the impressions of these two old men.

"I don't know who this good couple next to Bi Gongzi is? But Bi Gongzi's mother-in-law? The old man, who looked like an abbot, asked.

I smiled faintly and whispered, "It's my cousin below, called Yue'er." ”

"Yue'er?" The two old men looked at each other, and the slightly chubby shopkeeper Yue said: "Like the bright moon reflected in the water, the clear water floats and is lovely, what a name!" ”

When Yue'er heard this, her face turned red and she said, "Let the shopkeeper Yue laugh." ”

When the two old men heard Yue'er say this, they immediately laughed.

In the midst of this laughter, I finally remembered who the two old men in front of me were, this old man called 'Brother Liu' is Boss Liu, a salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and nine out of ten times the salt in the world has to pass through his hands. Haiyan Liu', and this shopkeeper Yue is specialized in cloth, no need to guess to know that Lu Dao is also a rich businessman, the two of them are the woman surnamed Wang who I rescued in a town passing through the capital, and the old man Wang of that family was introduced to me when he feasted guests, and I still remember that at that time, the old man Wang also introduced a thin old man who was the emperor's enlightenment teacher to me, called Mr. Zhu.

As soon as I thought of this, I became enthusiastic and enthusiastic, these are all rare network resources, and I may be able to use them in the future after climbing this level of relationship!

Boss Liu and Shopkeeper Yue exchanged a few words with me, then turned their heads and looked at everyone with a serious face, looking at the expression as if they were holding a party congress, and it looked extremely grand in solemnity!

I approached the shopkeeper Yue and whispered, "Shopkeeper Yue, I don't know what so many of you are gathered in this teahouse for a few days?" ”

Shopkeeper Yue is good-natured, and when he saw me asking, he patiently explained: "All the businessmen in the capital are gathered here today, for the imperial examination in half a month, this matter is not only related to the scholars who come to Beijing to take the examination, but also cheers for our merchants in the capital!" ”

Listening to the generous statement of the shopkeeper Yue, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: Isn't it just a imperial examination, as if the whole world is going to be coaxed, you say too, what does an exam matter to you businessmen? Are you going to participate in it too?

Shopkeeper Yue looked at my puzzled eyes, and seemed to know what I was thinking, and continued to explain without waiting for me to speak: "Although we businessmen will not participate in this imperial examination, the relationship is very great, from the pen, ink, paper and inkstone used in the examination, to the official mansion appointed by the emperor to appoint the new champion, all of which are from the hands of our businessmen. ”
