Chapter 288: Vassalage Elegance

Song Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture Daxiangguo Temple

One of the "Eight Views of Tokyo", the Great Xiangguo Temple is not only the largest and most majestic Buddhist temple in the world, but also forms a huge market near it, making it one of the liveliest places in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Since it is an unusually lively market, there are many merchants who do business here, and large and small merchants flock to it, all wanting to have a foothold in Daxiangguo Temple.

As long as the businessmen have a foothold in the Great Xiangguo Temple, then they can basically "make money every day".

"Rijin Doujin" has caused the vicinity of Daxiangguo Temple to be "every inch of land and every inch of gold". In Daxiangguo Temple, don't say that you have your own inch of land or storefront, just say that it is more difficult to rent an inch of land or storefront here, and ordinary businessmen may not be able to do it even if they work hard.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are people who have the ability to rent a large area of the storefront, and today on one of the most lively streets near the Great Xiangguo Temple, the newly opened "Cui Xuan Ju" silver building.

Yinlou is a business that buys and sells gold and silver jewelry, utensils, etc., that is, a jewelry store.

The silver building of "Cui Xuan Ju" has five stores on the street, and there are more than a dozen guest rooms in it, and the rooms are very elegantly decorated, which is a place for guests to rest or do business.

The just-opened "Cui Xuan Ju" has such a style, and it has occupied such a piece of feng shui treasure land in the Daxiangguo Temple of "every inch of land and every inch of gold", which makes all the businessmen smack their tongues, and at the same time they are extremely envious, and they are secretly guessing in their hearts, who has this ability?

At this time, in front of the silver building of "Cui Xuan Ju", a two-zhang high color building was erected, the color building is also called "Huanmen", it is tied up with square wood and wooden rods, and the windows near the faΓ§ade are all decorated with vermilion. The towering Huanmen Cailou was specially built to celebrate the opening of the "Cui Xuan Ju" silver building.

At the same time, countless fireworks and firecrackers were lit in front of the silver building of "Cui Xuan Ju", crackling sounds, and the guests who came and went to congratulate were like a tide, a lively scene.

"Li Daguan... When the little guy who welcomed the guests saw Li Sanjian and Zeng Gongming coming together, they were singing loudly, but they were glared at by Li Sanjian fiercely, and they stared back at the second half of the sentence.

The imperial court explicitly ordered that officials were not allowed to do business, and although this decree had become a dead letter, and although Li Sanjian was hiding behind the scenes, it was indeed inappropriate to make such a big fanfare.

Li Sanjian didn't want to come today, but Li Sanjian's family and friends in this silver building have joined the shares, especially Li Sanjian's second and third uncles, who said that they were shareholders with real pearls, but in fact, Li Wanting took more care of the two of them and arranged them in the warehouse, responsible for inspecting and receiving the goods, so it is too much to say that Li Sanjian did not come.

The most important thing is that Li Sanjian has already negotiated with Li Wanting, this silver building is controlled by Li Sanjian, as a major shareholder, how can the silver building not open?

"Li Gongzi, hurry up and please." The counter shopkeeper of the silver building is surnamed Zhang, a man in his thirties, who was originally a guy who has worked for more than ten years in Li Ji gold and silver shop. At the same time, Li Sanjian's side has no objection, the reason is that as the counter shopkeeper of the silver building, he must be a person who is more familiar with the processing and sales of jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, etc., but no one on Li Sanjian's side is like this, so there are only old people who use Li Ji gold and silver shops.

The little guy didn't know the inside story, but the shopkeeper Zhang knew, so he also glared at the roll call guy and welcomed Li Sanjian in.

Li Sanjian is the big proprietor behind the silver building, so the attitude of the shopkeeper Zhang is unusually deferential.

"Donglin, you take care of it in front, I'll go in and have a look." Li Sanjian then turned his head and said to Zeng Gongming.

Li Sanjian is an official, and Zeng Gongming is an official, and the imperial court's restrictions on officials are not so strict, and they are allowed to do business, so Li Sanjian's side is mainly played by Zeng Gongming.

"Brother, you are convenient, brother will take care of it." Zeng Gongming responded.

"Is the young owner here?" Li Sanjian asked as he walked.

"It's here, it's in the inner hall, Li Gongzi, please." Shopkeeper Zhang replied again and again, and after that, he welcomed Li Sanjian into the inner hall, and after Li Sanjian entered the inner hall, Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and closed the door.

Because Li Sanjian was facing away from him, Li Sanjian didn't see that the shopkeeper's smile was a little obscene...

"Ouch, Li Daguan can take time out of his busy schedule to take a look at the small shop, it's really rare, the little woman is really grateful." Li Wanting, who was dressed as a man again, smiled when she saw Li Sanjian enter the inner hall.

When Li Sanjian heard this, he immediately glanced at Li Wanting, sat down by himself, took a sip of a bowl of tea on the table, and said, "Are you scolding me?" ”

"Li Daguan, this is the tea bowl of the slave family. . . ." Li Wanting saw that Li Sanjian drank the tea bowl she had drunk again, so she said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Li Sanjian changed the topic awkwardly when he heard this: "Sanjian came here today mainly to thank the young owner. ”

There are two bowls of tea on the table, and I am obviously the closest bowl of tea to myself, even if the position is wrong, why do I choose the wrong one every time? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"Thank me for what?" Li Wanting's eyes fluttered, and she asked after smiling.

"Knowingly ask!" Li Sanjian said after picking up another bowl of tea.

"Daguan, this bowl of tea is also from the slave family." Li Wanting said.

"Boom... After Li Sanjian swallowed the sip of tea he had just drunk into his stomach, he pointed at Li Wanting and said, "You... You... Where in this world is there a reason for a person to drink two bowls of tea? ”

"Hee-hee..." Li Wanting couldn't help laughing when she saw this: "What are two bowls of tea?" One person drinks eight bowls of tea, and the slave family has seen it, haven't the officials found that each bowl of tea tastes different? ”

"The big official is thirsty, and the slave family will make you tea." Li Wanting smiled, got up and took a set of tea sets, and said while making tea: "Are the big officials satisfied with Yinlou?" ”

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Li Sanjian admired Li Wanting's beautiful posture of making tea, and praised: "The decoration of the silver building is extremely elegant and chic, and it is really troublesome for Miss Lao." ”

"This is what the slave family did according to the requirements of the big officials." Li Wanting smiled: "But is there some name of the silver building... ”

"The girl has something to say, why bother to spit it out?" Li Sanjian said with a smile: "Isn't the name 'Cuixuanju' bad?" ”

The name of Yinlou was still thought up by Li Sanjian, not to mention searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, but Li Sanjian also took a lot of effort to come up with it.

"Good is good, but when you do business, you must first let people know what you do." Li Wanting said bluntly: "'Cuixuanju' makes people feel like a bookstore, not a silver building, is the name inappropriate?" What do you think? ”

It is really worthy of being the champion of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is so elegant to name Yinlou, even so, Li Wanting still secretly praised in her heart, but 'Cuixuanju' is really confusing, I don't know what kind of business it is?

"The girl is worthy of being born in the family of Dajia, and she sees the important point." Li Sanjian praised it and then said: "I also thought about it, this name is indeed a bit untrue. However, there is an old saying that is good, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, doing this kind of business is not a matter of one day or two, it is a long-term thing, such a long time, are you afraid that no one knows what 'Cui Xuan Ju' does? The most important thing is that people in the world like to be vassals and elegant, especially wealthy people, as long as they are for romantic and elegant things, they are all eager to go, at this time, money is a trivial matter. ”

Li Sanjian then looked at Li Wanting and said with a smile: "This is also the reason why I want you to decorate the silver building elegantly and chicly, Miss Li, you have to understand that the ordinary people can't afford to use the precious jewelry, so our business can not be aimed at the ordinary people, but these people who like to be vassals and elegant." ”

Li Sanjian can be regarded as having seen through the current situation of the Song Dynasty, that is, the four words "vassal elegance", from the emperor, hundreds of officials to the common people, from top to bottom, the so-called daughter asks for a word, not that a word is really worth a thousand gold, but vassal elegance...

"Hmmm... Could it be that my Li family is also a vassal elegant family? Li Wanting had already made tea for Li Sanjian at this time, so she looked at Li Sanjian and asked.

"Aren't you from the Li family?" Li Sanjian asked with a smile.

Obviously it is the home of a big businessman, and the wealth of the family is rivaling the country, but no matter from the style of the house or the dress, it is less "rich and compelling", and more "elegant", this is not vassal elegance, what is it?

"you, you're a vassal elegance... Li Wanting pushed Li Sanjian and said angrily.

Both of them are not very old, they are both young people, and at the same time, in order to plan for the silver building, the two have also met a lot these days, and they are already more familiar, so at this time, there is less hostility between the two, and more closeness, unconsciously, the two are already joking with each other.

"If you don't do business, you're really condescending." Li Wanting then said to Li Sanjian.

"Haha, that's a lie." Li Sanjian smiled: "How can people like us do business? ”

"Li Daguan, are you really like the world, looking down on us and other people who do business?" Li Wanting's mood suddenly changed sharply when she heard this, and she asked a little coldly.

"Hey, the girl's words are bad!" Li Sanjian sighed when he heard this: "The girl misunderstood Sanjian's meaning, Sanjian has been poor since he was a child, it's not that he doesn't want to do business, let alone look down on traders, but he really has no capital and no way to do business, poor people are like this, they can't even eat, where is the capital to do business?" Take the silver building as an example, without Miss Li's help, where can this silver building be run? Miss Li, let me tell you the truth, before Sanjian embarked on the road to study, he still wanted to sell seafood in Qiongtai... ”

"Qiongtai sells seafood? Qiongtai is full of seafood, do you still need to sell it? You... Hee-hee... It's really laughing at the slave family.。。。 Li Wanting was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then pointed at Li Sanjian and laughed, laughing breathlessly, and she was extremely happy.
