Chapter Seventy-Four: Little Cui
There was a plop and the water splashed.
When the tall man saw Chen Siyu being thrown into the river, he shook his head again and again, looking very sorry.
At this moment, the girl named Xiaocui hurriedly shouted: "She's not dead yet, even if I die, she won't die!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, and the tall man bought Siyu at a high price of three hundred taels of silver was even more reluctant.
When he heard this, he was stunned at first, and hurriedly sent someone to check in the river, but fortunately, Siyu was already screaming by the cold river water.
Everyone hurriedly lifted Siyu up, and there was an old bustard who came over to take a look, and exclaimed: "Yo, this is a beautiful embryo!" ”
Many of the old bustards in the Qinglou leaned over to take a look, and they also praised repeatedly: "I haven't seen such a good product for many years!" ”
At this time, Siyu was washed by the cold water, but she eased up, and people took off their blindfolds, and she looked at everyone in horror.
This look is even more pitiful, and the pitiful appearance makes the old bustards intoxicated.
Immediately they began bidding.
"This person, I will give two hundred taels of silver, and we will sell the gold cave!"
"Two hundred and fifty taels, we want it in Xiao Xiang Pavilion!"
"Four hundred taels, we want Drunken Xiangyuan!"
……
At this time, the tall man said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we don't sell this person for less than five hundred taels of silver, but she is our top commodity here!" ”
As soon as he said this, all the shopkeepers from the capital fell silent, and they were secretly thinking about it in their hearts.
After a long time, someone finally made a bid, this time it was Tianxianglou, and the person who came was actually a male shopkeeper, who was only forty or fifty years old.
"I'm a thousand taels of silver from Tianxianglou!"
This was followed by an exclamation, and the rest of the shopkeepers began to whisper.
At this moment, someone offered another 1,500 taels of silver, and there was another exclamation in the crowd.
The bidder was the shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Building, a cardamom woman, who became the shopkeeper at a young age.
At this time, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou seemed to be a little angry, and simply bid for three thousand taels of silver, and he glanced at the young female shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Building with disdain.
No one knows that these two Qinglou in the capital have always looked at each other wrongly, openly and secretly, fighting each other.
As the two largest Fengyue places in the capital, there have always been many contradictions, and they have marked each other.
The proprietors behind these two Fengyue places belong to the important ministers of the imperial court, the Huo family and the Shen family, and they have always been fighting each other openly and secretly.
Now, in order to rob Siyu, such a beautiful person has begun to fight again.
The female shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Lou was originally the youngest daughter of the Huo family, and was in charge of all the Huo family's properties in the capital.
And the male shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, the owner behind him is the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Yulong, who controls the Fengyue place of the Shen family in the capital.
and the Shen family's medicine store mastered by the second son of Shen equally share the world.
Originally, there was a slight contradiction between the Shen family and the Huo family, before, Huo Qiaoqiao, the youngest daughter of the Huo family, admired Shen Gongzi very much, but was rejected for marriage.
As a result, Tianxiang Building and Xiaoyao Building have been in constant dispute.
It seems that where there is Tianxianglou, there are people from Xiaoyaolou who come to make trouble, or they will stick a bar.
As long as Tianxianglou opens a branch somewhere, then Xiaoyaolou will inevitably open a branch opposite the Tianxianglou branch.
Huo Qiaoqiao's difficulty made Shen Dagongzi have a headache.
secretly made a strong reparation, and apologized and couldn't get the other party's forgiveness, and in the end, fortunately, the two sides went down.
In the long run, the Shen family and the Huo family also began to fight each other everywhere.
However, the situation in front of him was exactly what the tall man wanted to see, and of course he hoped that Siyu would be able to bid a high price.
Huo Qiaoqiao didn't look at it, and directly wrote three thousand five hundred taels of silver on the cardboard and held it high.
The male shopkeeper of Tianxianglou shook his head again and again when he saw it, and wanted to give up, but a note came over.
It was Shen Yulong's handwriting, and it was written that at all costs, Xiaoyaolou must be beaten down.
The male shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Building is also in his forties, a very shrewd businessman.
When he saw Na Siyu, he looked really good, but looking at the corners of Na Siyu's eyes and eyebrows, it seemed that it was very difficult to adjust.
Seeing that no one was allowed to approach, her expression was full of determination, and her visibility was like fire.
He also quietly inquired, it turned out that Siyu had bitten his tongue and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
Thinking of this, I naturally feel that the capital is not another place, a place with bricks, tiles and royal laws.
If something really happens, I am afraid that it will affect my lord's official reputation, and I have some intention of giving up at the moment.
But the owner didn't allow it, so he had to carry it hard.
Tianxiang Building, five thousand taels of silver!
As soon as this price came out, everyone exclaimed, and the tall man was overjoyed.
Huo Qiaoqiao of Xiaoyao Lou didn't frown, "Five thousand five hundred taels of silver!" ”
The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, Xiao Da, was almost crazy, seven thousand taels of silver.
It was only at this time that a mother-in-law beside Huo Qiaoqiao whispered a few words in her ear, which made her look a little unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to bid stupidly, nine thousand taels!
The shopkeeper Xiao of Tianxianglou stomped his feet, turned around and left, and was suddenly intercepted by the guy, and he was stunned when he saw the note handed over.
He looked at the soft sedan car behind him from a distance, but the sedan curtain was covered, and it was obvious that the owner had made up his mind.
Fifteen thousand taels of silver, Tianxiang Building.
As soon as this price came out, almost all the bustards were stupid, and no one expected that a chick would be priced more than 10,000 taels of silver.
When Huo Qiaoqiao from Xiaoyao Lou heard this, he wanted to continue to bargain, but was stopped by a mother-in-law next to him, so he gave up.
Siyu didn't expect that he was sold to the Qinglou, and the whole person was transferred to a clean carriage.
But when she heard a familiar voice, she hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw a girl being slapped by the old bustard on the side, and she was beaten and cried.
She hurriedly struggled, twisted her body, and made a whining sound in her mouth, and when the shopkeeper Xiao saw this, he saw that her eyes were looking directly at the little girl, full of longing.
As soon as his heart softened, he went to the tall man surnamed Mu and said, "Father-in-law Mu, give me this little girl together!" ”
How dare Father-in-law Mu not listen, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Ouch, your old lady is polite, she gave it away in vain!" ”
Turning his face and beckoning, he hurriedly picked up Xiao Cui, who was so thin as a handful of bones, from the old bustard's hand, and pushed it in front of Shopkeeper Xiao.
Shopkeeper Xiao smiled, patted the thin little girl, and said, "You know?"
That Xiaocui was really skinny, and there were only two big smart eyes left, both nodding and shaking his head.
Shopkeeper Xiao smiled and asked, "Nod first, then shake your head, what does this mean?"
Without waiting for Xiaocui to speak, a vicious woman next to her, with a black and green birthmark on half of her face, shouted and frightened: "Shopkeeper Xiao asks, answer carefully!" ”
Frightened, Xiao Cui'er hid behind the shopkeeper Xiao, but the evil woman still didn't give up: "Mr. Xiao, this little girl is undercut!" ”
Shopkeeper Xiao's face sank, and the evil woman looked flustered.
He shouted a lesson: "Don't think I don't know what you are doing, from now on, with me, I will not allow you to be the same as before!" ”
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound, and she promised repeatedly, and when the shopkeeper Xiao walked away, she muttered again and again, obviously unconvinced.
Xiao Cui'er was placed in the same carriage as Siyu, and although Siyu had taken the mouth plug at this time, she was silent.
The old bustard in the same carriage brought her a bowl of gruel, but she didn't look at it, twisted to the side, and looked indifferent.
The old bustard was only in his early forties, and his old face was whiter than the pink wall, but his thick lips were as red as blood, and his two eyebrows were drawn short and thick, which made people see it, and it was very refreshing.
Seeing Siyu like this, she snorted and sneered: "Undercooked skin, boil, see who can survive whom!" ”
With that, she casually threw the bowl of porridge outside the carriage.
Xiao Cui next to her swallowed her saliva when she saw it, and she saw her gluttony, so she gave Xiao Cui a slap when she returned her hand, and sneered: "I have a little vision in the future, be careful that I can't live for ten days!" ”
Xiao Cui covered her red and swollen face, and hid timidly beside Si Yu, and suddenly her hand was clenched by Si Yu, although her hand was also cold, at that moment, Xiao Cui leaned her head on Si Yu.
She looked at this beautiful sister timidly, but Siyu's eyes were empty.
She understood the fate she was about to face, and at this moment, she felt that her life was worse than death.
At this point, the carriage was much lighter, and it was no longer stuffed into the carriage like a sardine just now.
The horses also seem to have been specially trained, and the carriage is very stable, and the soft compartment is fragrant, covered with fine straw mats and fragrant pillows.
At this time, the carriage has entered this prosperous place in the world, cooking oil with fire, flowers, and bustling.
The characters in the city are all handsome and graceful, and the flow of people is like weaving, and the markets on both sides are even more shops and shops, and hawkers are hawking along the streets.
Monkeys on the street, performing arts, and so on, Xiaocui lay on the window of the car, greedy for the scenery outside the car, his eyes were flawless, and he was amazed.
The old bustard in the car had a hint of boredom on her face, and sneered, she had already seen through this land of red dust and fireworks.
And Siyu has fallen asleep, the sun shines on her beautiful, shocking face, and there are still teardrops in the corners of her eyes, which is pitiful.
Tianxianglou, as the first-class and first-class place of gold fireworks in the capital, is the most popular place for the red, pink and rouge to gather.
The Xiaoyao Building opposite it seems to be deliberately against Tianxiang Building, and deliberately forcibly put down the proud restaurant opposite Tianxiang Building.
Since then, it has become a famous Yanliu Lane in Beijing, and several high-class green buildings have also followed suit and gathered here.
Don't look at this small smoke willow lane, it is not more than half a mile long, but it is not a place for ordinary people to afford fireworks.
Even if you have 10,000 taels of gold with you, I'm afraid that it won't take half a day, and you won't even hear a sound when you throw it into this smoke willow alley.
The carriage was chauffled, and finally arrived at Tianxiang Building, and the turtle slave was about to take Siyu down, and suddenly saw that the corners of her mouth were bleeding, her face was pale, and she was so frightened that she exclaimed: "Shopkeeper Xiao, Mother Feng, it's not good, she bit her tongue and committed suicide!" ”
