Chapter 139: The Beginning of the Layout

On May 25, Gu Qing's Linglong Pavilion opened.

The following is the anti-theft chapter, please support the genuine version. The author went to dinner, and came back to change it for you.

The opening of Linglong Pavilion did not cause much sensation, Gu Qing did not post to each family, but asked Li Mao to send some high-level VIP brands to the people who were good friends, and he did not publicize it much.

But because of Qi Shao's relationship with many students, many people still know the Tao.

There were quite a few people who sent He Yi that day, but Gu Qing didn't know if the things sent by some people who had never heard of it were considered bribes, so cautiously, except for those who were closer, the others returned back.

May 25, Linglong Pavilion.

There was indeed no rain today, but it was not a sunny day, Zhang Xuan stood at the door of Linglong Pavilion, looking at the sky with a gloomy face.

I couldn't show my face in front of Tianjun, and I ended up smashing my own signboard.

The cloudy opening was not as bad as the rain, but it wasn't much better.

Because I don't know if it will rain on the road, many people simply don't go out. What if it rains halfway through?

Jiayun's father became the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion, and since he started to manage the decoration, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to make the slightest mistake. In addition, Mrs. Tai and Jade have become a good thing for the son of his family Jiayun and the big housekeeper, the two families have been engaged, and they want to have the help of their in-laws in the future, and the future will be easier, and they are even more grateful to Mrs. Tai and want to do this errand well.

"Shopkeeper, what did you say the adult at the door was looking at?" A guy in the shop pointed to the green-clad official standing outside the threshold at the door, "Is there something wrong with it?" โ€

The shopkeeper looked up, "I don't see anything wrong." Maybe he fell asleep last night? โ€

"Shopkeeper, you really know how to tell jokes......"

Zhang Xuan sighed and walked into Linglong Pavilion with a sad face.

There were already many guests in the Linglong Pavilion, most of them were students who had played the Three Kingdoms Killing in Gu Qing's Weishuang Hall before, and now they were watching other games in the Linglong Pavilion.

There are also some merchants who have long been curious about what this store sells, so they came in to see what it was.

The walls of Gu Qing's store are full of characters from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the main deck for sale is also "Three Kingdoms Killing", and then there are military chess, a fool and dozens of other games. There is a tearoom-like place in the back for buyers to try out the game first, and now there are many people in the back who are playing chess while holding a manual of the rules of the game.

"What do you want to buy, my lord?" The guy asked Zhang Xuan with a smile.

"Is there a game about Ascension?" Zhang Xuan asked without any hope.

I didn't expect Tianjun to open this kind of shop, which was really unexpected.

"You're talking about ascension?" As soon as the guy heard it, he knew that this person was an acquaintance at home, "Yes, yes, do you have a certificate?" โ€

"Huh? Really? Zhang Xuan unexpectedly took out the Linglong Pavilion plaque with "A" written on it in his arms. "Is that it?"

"Yes! That's it. You're probably a friend of Mrs. Tai? Then you can play with a deck of wood, do you need a first-class ascension? โ€

"What's the difference?"

"The chess pieces and the chessboard are not the same. Come and see. The man's enthusiasm took Zhang Xuan to the box where the "Flying Chess" was placed. The rules and contents of the game are written on the top of the grid, and the bottom is divided into three grids, with the board and pieces of the game spread out inside.

As you can see from this grid, the top is a beautifully carved chessboard and chess pieces, and the chess pieces are also painted; The middle ones are not so sophisticated, but the quality is also excellent; The bottom one is made of wood and hard paper, which is the simplest, but also easy to carry.

"This is Feisheng chess, there are four immortal chess pieces, all of them are in the foundation building period at the beginning, starting from the foundation building period, advancing to the nine-layer heaven, until the South Heavenly Gate......" The guy said the gameplay of this game like a river, and pointed to the place of various fighting methods on the flying chess, how to pass quickly, how to fall behind, how to throw the dice to determine the number of moves, and so on.

Zhang Xuan picked up four first-class chess pieces in amazement, only to see that there were three male Taoist priests and one female Taoist priest four characters, the character chess pieces were only the size of a thumb, but they were carved lifelike, even the beard of the middle-aged Taoist priest and the Taoist robe of the female Taoist priest were carved elegantly and smartly, and the eyebrows were clearly visible.

Looking at the clothes of these four Taoist priests again, aren't they similar to the ones he wore on the day of the Lantern Festival? This clear-eyed person is a righteous Taoist at first glance!

Look at the chessboard, it should be made of fine wood, with a wisp of fragrance.

This chess was indeed made by Gu Qing with Zhang Xuan's inspiration. She originally wanted to make flying chess, but there were no airplanes here, and it was not appropriate to replace them with anything else. In ancient times, there was nothing that could fly to replace airplanes.

But every time she listened to Zhang Xuan say "Feisheng" and "Feisheng", her brain was opened, and she simply made four "flying chess" for Taoist priests to fly, and the rules did not change anything, but the chessboard and chess pieces became the familiar Taoist priest and the "Heavenly Palace".

Not to mention, if you do this, no one will feel disobedient.

Zhang Xuan happily picked up four chess pieces.

"Yes, yes, I want it! Take a deck of Grade A! โ€

"We need to order this Grade A, do you want to leave the address or come to the store to pick it up when the time comes? A 30% deposit is all you need. The guy explained the reason to Zhang Xuan, "The shop is membership-based, and only customers with the corresponding vouchers can buy these customized models, and it takes ......time to customize them."

"How many days?"

"It's relatively simple, about four or five days."

"Then I'll order a pair first, and I'll get it later, how much does this pair cost?" Zhang Xuan took out the cloth bag from his arms and prepared to pay the deposit.

"A level 1 flying chess ten taels of silver."

Zhang Xuan took the hand of the cloth bag and looked at his wallet hard.

There were a few pieces of silver lying inside, about seven or eight taels. He is just a petty official of the Qingshui Yamen, there is not much moon rice, and there is not much moon silver, he doesn't need so much Lu rice, and every month he goes to the grain store to convert it into cash, and he can't exchange it for two taels, plus the monthly salary......

This chess set will cost him three or four months of monthly salary?

Is this heavenly monarch a god of wealth in heaven? So good at doing business?

Zhang Xuan is actually not poor, his family is a big family, and there are countless fields in the family, but he has been hiding from forced marriage at home since he was twenty years old, and rarely goes home. Zhang Xuan was originally a Qing cultivator, his materialistic desire was not strong, he lived poor without money, he wore official uniforms and Taoist clothes all year round, and saved money for clothes, shoes and hats.

Now he is a Lingtailang with no filial piety, if it weren't for some subsidies in various names in the court, and he was homeless, and his food and accommodation were still in the ministry, I was afraid that he would really cry and go back to the mountain.

As soon as the guy saw Zhang Xuan's expression, he knew what was going on.

"Don't you take advantage of it? It doesn't matter, you can keep a little money for the first time, and you can pay the rest in monthly installments. You are a first-class customer and can pay in six months' instalments. โ€

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't want to borrow money to live.

In the future, don't keep thinking about Qing Xiu, last time which adult gave him a hundred taels of gold and begged him to see Feng Shui? It's not good to go to see Tianjun always wearing a Taoist robe, do you want to buy some new clothes?

Next time, ask if that adult still wants to see feng shui.

He took out three taels of silver from his purse, "Oh, I'll give you a deposit." โ€

The guy smiled and led him to the counter, and the shopkeeper wrote him a bill, and then made an appointment to pick up the things, which was considered a deal.

The card room of Linglong Pavilion has been played, some know and some don't, everyone is sitting in one place, pondering how to play. One table was playing "The Great Thief Hunting the Head of the Commoner", and the only guest who played it acted as a judge presiding over the game; On the other side, a table was playing "A Foolish Surprise", and a rather handsome scribe was pretending to be a monkey with his eyebrows.

Zhang Xuan looked at Coke, walked in, and was immediately pulled to play "ghost catching".

Catching ghosts? His old job!

Outside Dongshi Street.

"Your Highness, this is not good, if the Holy Lord knows it...... Li Rui persuaded the eldest prince bitterly, he already regretted telling the eldest prince that his family's "Linglong Pavilion" opened today.

Many of the games that Li Rui brought to Shangyang Hall have been well received by several students. In particular, the "military chess" has become one of their favorite games to play after studying.

"I have already said hello to the queen mother, and we will go back in an hour, without delay." They have finished their classes in the morning, and they are bored to stay in the temple in the afternoon, so why can't they go out for a walk?

"But it's really dangerous for you to wear a white dragon fish suit like this!" Li Rui glanced at the four guards dressed in micro-clothes behind him. "Just these four people, it's really ......"

"You're thinking too much, there are so many noble sons walking at the foot of the capital, and I don't wear palace clothes, what's the danger?" He said disapprerovingly, "I have also been to my uncle's house before, and my father also knows the Tao, so you don't have to worry too much." โ€

The four guards are only on the surface, and when he goes out, he doesn't know how many secret guards are guarding him.

Li Rui wanted to say more, but Qin Bin held his hand down and shook his head.

His father was the commander of the Chinese army, so he naturally knew how tightly guarded the royal family was. Li Rui saw that Qin Bin also asked him not to persuade him, so he knew that His Royal Highness was definitely sure to go out of the house, so he didn't say much.

"The East Market is still like this, it's really not as interesting as the West Market." The eldest prince looked up at the buildings on both sides, "I haven't even changed a few stores." โ€

It's as if you're in the market all day.

Qiu Mu and Xiong Ping complained silently in their hearts.

"Here we are." Li Rui pointed to a big store with a "Linglong Pavilion" banner.

The eldest prince was interested and walked in first. There are already many people in the store who are curious to ask questions, and there are many sons and brothers who have been instigated by Qi Shao, so they went in without attracting many people's attention.

The idle guys on the side immediately walked up, these are all talents found by Wu Yuzhou, they can speak well, and the key is that they are all sincere.

"It's your first time here, so I don't know if you've been in contact with it before......"

"Wang Lin, you go and greet the other guests first." When the shopkeeper saw that his young master was coming, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, and saluted Li Rui's side, "Eldest son, ...... are you?"

"Well, I'll take my friends to take a casual look, you go and do it yourself, leave me alone."

Young Master's friend? Now that the young master is studying in the palace, his friend ......

The shopkeeper's legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall down and knelt in front of the purple-clothed young man who was the leader. Who would have thought that such a gentle-looking son would be today's ......

Li Rui saw that he immediately thought of it, and hurriedly made a "silence" gesture. He was really scared to come out, and if he yelled, this trip would be a farce.

Seeing that there were many people behind him, the eldest prince pointed to a room in the back and asked, "What are you doing over there?" โ€

"Back to ...... Return...... Back to the nobles, behind is a place for many guests to try out. If you have chess and cards with you, you can also call friends and play a few games. The shopkeeper felt his legs tremble.

"I'll take a look."

"Temple...... Big Prince! Li Rui saw that as soon as the eldest prince stretched out his head, he went to the crowded and mixed place behind, and hurriedly followed.

Just like what happened to Zhang Xuan, there were many guests who wanted to try new chess but were short of people, and when they saw this large group of people coming in, someone hurriedly came up and asked if they wanted to join in and play together.

Chu Chengxuan had played a lot of games with Li Rui and them in the palace, but when he arrived here, he found that there were more, so he naturally wanted to give it a try, so he was quickly pulled away and went to play with a smile.

Li Rui, for fear that others would associate himself with the eldest prince like just now, pretended not to know the eldest prince, and quietly asked Qin Bin, Xiong Ping, and Qiu Mu to follow the eldest prince to play first.

He was pulled here and there all at once, and he was introduced to various games.

The four guards stood at the junction of the inner and outer rooms, and after a while, a few more guests came in, and when the guards saw it, the guests gestured to them, and they were finally relieved to see that the guards had also come in.

On the streets of the East Market, another group of people are also persuading the leader.

"Lord Shizi, your grounding order has not been lifted yet, just run out like this, and the prince will definitely be punished heavily when you go back!" The foreign steward of the Xiangcheng Palace's Mansion regretted telling this lord that the Xinguo Mansion had let his family open a shop in the East Market.

He thought that this prince had been relieved a lot of what happened at the beginning, but who knew that Lu Dao was not only not relieved, but even more hateful, as soon as he heard such a thing, he must go out and see.

What can I do? If the prince wants to know that they come out together, he will definitely beat him to death!

But if he doesn't come out with him and let this master do something stupid, he will also be killed!

"Don't care, this world is measured."

Chu Yingyuan said this in his mouth, but no one next to him believed his words.

Nonsense, who would smile and say "I have measure"!

Where is the proportion?

No matter how frightened they were, this group of people from the Xiangcheng Palace's Mansion still followed the prince Chu Yingyuan to Linglong Pavilion.

Chu Yingyuan frowned as soon as he entered the store, because there were many characters of the Three Kingdoms painted on the walls around him. Everyone knows that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is written by the old country, although it has not yet been spread, but there are so many characters of the Three Kingdoms painted in this store, which has been disguised to publicize who the owner of this store is.

I haven't seen this letter for many years, and I still act so arrogantly!

Chu Yingyuan hated the Xinguo Mansion very much, so he naturally had a horizontal nose and vertical eyes, and it was wrong to see where his family was. Seeing that although there were many customers in front of him, most of them were scribes or scholars, he sneered in his heart.

As far as I know that I want to ask for the good of these sour people, the Xinguo Mansion is also a merit that will be obtained immediately, and these generations have actually begun to mingle with the Wenchens, and they regard themselves as Wenchen everywhere, which is really ridiculous.

Chu Yingyuan's family was the first to follow the emperor to fight everywhere, and made great contributions to Great Chu. I thought that even if I wasn't a prince, the fief would be a rich place, but who expected that a few Wenchen would say that "the root cause of the rebellion of the Yin Dynasty is that the ambition of the vassal king is too great", and as a result, their royal relatives in several provinces not only did not get the position of prince, but also went to bitter cold and remote places, which was called to enlighten the people for the Son of Heaven.

Phew!

Who is rare and civilized Huyi wilderness!

Chu Yingyuan casually picked up a pair of white jade and green jade as chess pieces, and said to the guy who greeted him, "I want this." โ€

He wants to go back to study and study, what is there to be pursued in this Xinguo Mansion.

The playthings are demoralized, and they all start business, which is really self-willing!

"Do you have any first-class membership credentials in the store?" The guy asked with a professional smile.

"What's that? You suspect I can't afford to pay? Chu Yingyuan glared at the guy angrily.

"No, no, all of you are distinguished guests, how dare you look down on you, it's just that you have a collection of quality military chess, good jade is rare, and there are not many of my family, so it is limited in supply, and it can only be customized." The guy secretly complained in his heart, this rule is unreasonable, I am afraid that I will cause trouble, "The pair in your hand is a sample, and our family does not sell it." โ€

Chu Yingyuan glanced at the people in the store, but he didn't think it was the reason for the limited supply, he thought that someone in the store saw that he was the one who had fought with their son-in-law on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and deliberately made it difficult.

Damn, I've decided to have a "sense of proportion", how dare you fight people?

Chu Yingyuan immediately frowned, and said viciously: "Today, if you sell it, you will sell it, and if you don't sell it, you will sell it!" It's not that I'm not without money, so you dare to drive guests out? Is this the tutor of the Shinkoku Mansion? โ€

When the guy saw the stubble, he hurriedly ran to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly dressed up and went to find Chu Yingyuan with a straight face.

"This distinguished guest, it's not the shop that drove you out, but the rules set by the owner of the shop, and we have to abide by it." The shopkeeper hopes that this person can sell the letter to the Guogong Mansion to save face, "Or, I will send someone back to ask the owner for instructions and see if I can make an exception?" โ€

"Excuse me, you people are just dogs who look down on people, and others can sell them, so why can't you sell me?" Chu Yingyuan took out a silver ingot and slapped it on the table, "I bought this chess!" โ€

"Nobleman, this is a sample, there is only one pair, and it really can't be sold." The shopkeeper was also angry, "Besides, I'm afraid you can't buy this chess piece with the money you pay." This chessboard is carved from the ivory of Shanghao, these chess pieces are made of flawless jade, the price of this chess piece in your hand is one hundred and twenty taels, and your ingot of silver is only enough to buy a few chess pieces. โ€

"What? Such a set of playthings actually costs one hundred and twenty taels? Are you robbing money? Chu Yingyuan stared at the shopkeeper, and then looked at the chessboard in his hand.

Hey, it seems to be really ivory?

The shopkeeper's Zhilu said that this person must have some opinion on their family, and there was the Xinguo Mansion standing behind him, since he had already saluted first, this person didn't know each other, and he thought that he was deliberately looking for fault, and there was no need to be polite to him, and he fell into the name of the Xinguo Mansion.

What's more, the young master and that one are still behind, and there are people supporting them when the sky falls.

Thinking of this, he reached out and spread his palm.

"This guest, please return the chessboard to me. The small shop still has to do business. โ€

Chu Yingyuan really didn't think about having to find ballast, but being slapped in the face with such a โ–กโ–ก naked, he was a clay man and angry, so he stretched his hand back at the moment.

"One hundred and twenty taels, right? Come on, pay! โ€

"Lord Shizi...... a subordinate biting his ear next to Chu Yingyuan, "We didn't bring so much money when we came out." You are grounded, who dares to go to the account office to pay money? โ€

He secretly complained in his heart, you have so many private houses, why do you always want to take the money in the public!

At this moment, Chu Yingyuan was embarrassed.

Even if people want to sell him now, he can't force him to buy it.

Because he doesn't have enough money.

"That's it, let's sell the letter to the Duke of the Kingdom ......"

"Shopkeeper, give that chess to Xiangcheng Wang Shizi, and I'll talk to my grandmother when I go home." Li Rui heard the noise outside inside, so he listened to it at the door of the inner room for a while, and when he heard that it was Chu Yingyuan who was making trouble again, he was ready to send this plague god away with the idea that more things are better than fewer people.

He had beaten him before, and now he gave him a set of chess, which is considered to be a reparation.

"Who's that?" The eldest prince, who was being dragged to play "The Great Thief and the Civilian", asked the companions around him.

"It seems that Chu Yingyuan, the son of the king of Xiangcheng, is the one who crippled his own brother and was ordered to think about it." Xiong and Chu Yingnian go to class together on weekdays, this young man looks like Chu Yingnian, and he thinks he is his elder brother.

"Yes, he looks like Chu Yingnian's kid." Qin Bin snorted, "The eldest brother has a violent temper, and the younger brother is insidious and vicious, what kind of goods are they in this family!" King Xiang Cheng is such a kind and honest person, how could he give birth to such two sons-in-law! โ€

"That's not necessarily King Xiangcheng's fault, maybe it's because of honesty that he is spoiled and brought up such a guy!" Qiu Mu answered on the side.

The eldest prince looked at this prince of Xiangcheng thoughtfully.

"Li Rui! I just know that you kid deliberately wants to lose my face! As soon as Chu Yingyuan saw Li Rui walk out, he immediately pointed at his nose angrily and said, "You first send your family to make things difficult, and then humiliate me, yes or no?" This thing in your house, don't send it to this son and don't want it! โ€

Chu Yingyuan threw the chessboard in his hand to the ground and looked at Li Rui defiantly.

"You are really inexplicable, I kindly gave you something, in order to make you angry, even the rules of the house were broken, you are so spoiled things!" Li Rui looked at the chessboard that was thrown out of the distance and the chess pieces scattered all over the place, these were all made by the craftsmen in the family, he and his younger brother were just playing together, this Chu Yingyuan raised his hand to smash it when he said it.

"The Linglong Pavilion store is small, and my family can't welcome a 'distinguished guest' like you. Shopkeeper, send-off! โ€

"The eldest prince, this chess ......" the shopkeeper looked at the chessboard with some cracks, "Don't you want him to pay?" โ€

"Count ourselves unlucky, we will meet a troublemaker when we open!" Li Rui is also a teenager with a temper, although he is very stable on weekdays, but he has a good face and sticks to other people's cold butts, and he was slapped back, so naturally he will not have a good tone. "Send him away!"

"Who are you scolding if your mouth is not clean!" Chu Yingyuan raised his hand to grab him, "You actually dare to ......"

"Okay, okay, let's get rid of our anger and stop arguing." The eldest prince Chu Chengxuan pretended to be panicked and ran out, waving his hands and standing in front of Li Rui.

"People's new store is newly opened today, the prince still don't touch other people's mold, how unlucky!"

Chu Yingyuan made a mistake when he first came to Beijing, and he has been living in a simple house, and later beat the concubine in the family, and was ordered to cultivate his mind at home. I didn't even know His Royal Highness the Great Prince.

He was a violent man, and when he saw a little child popping up again, he impatiently reached out to push him away.

"Where did you come from? If you say that you will dissipate the gas, I will get rid of the ...... for the son"

"Chu Yingyuan, you dare to do it!"

Li Rui saw that Chu Yingyuan was about to stretch out his hand to hit the eldest prince, the blood in his chest surged, turned his body slightly, and pulled the eldest prince behind him.

His shout was like a thunderbolt in mid-air, which startled Chu Yingyuan for a moment.

After he was stunned, in order to hide his surprise, he snorted coldly:

"You provoke me to do it and say that I will beat you first, so that you can deal with me, and then the wicked person will sue first, right?"

As soon as he thought of the method that his cousin had played, his cruel heart suddenly rose, "You might as well ask what the guy who played this trick on me last time was already like!" โ€

He raised his fist and slammed it viciously into Li Rui's face.

Two years ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was pressed to the ground by Li Rui and beaten, and he was extremely ashamed in his heart. He was originally a character who was willing to die rather than be angry, Li Rui shouted, and he immediately moved his hand.

His punch came very quickly, Li Rui was about to parry, and the strength of his fist had reached the door, but every time he encountered this kind of scene, all kinds of changes would naturally occur in his body, and this time was no exception.

The speed of this punch was instantaneous, and it was as slow as a freeze frame in front of him.

Li Rui tilted his head back, avoiding the heavy punch he was bound to hit by this move, and then grabbed it with his backhand, and suddenly used force, only to hear a "rattle", and the teeth of the people in the room were sore.

It turned out that Li Rui reversed Chu Yingyuan's joint and had broken his arm.

Li Rui's strength is extremely great, and he has grown older over the years, which is completely incomparable with when he was a child. He also learned a lot of techniques, and his moves were all martial arts in the army, which was different from Chu Yingyuan's kung fu.

Chu Yingyuan is also hard-boned, although his arm was broken and he was in a cold sweat, he still gritted his teeth and scolded the subordinates behind him: "Didn't you see that my arm was broken by your family?" Give me this kid and the kid behind him ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

Because he had several sharp swords around his neck.
