Chapter 68: Honest Man
As soon as they entered the door, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, the entire Yunxiang Pavilion was basically full, and it looked like the caravan that Qiao Mingyue had seen before should be all the way.
Qi Jingyun's face was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help frowning, when did so many merchants suddenly pour in from Kyoto City, as far as he knew, there were no large-scale trade fairs in the near future, and there was no news from the imperial court at all, what was the situation?
"Go to the shopkeeper first." Qiao Mingyue also had some doubts, it was originally in the battle stage recently, and now this situation is a little abnormal.
Yunxiang Pavilion's business is booming, and the shopkeeper can't be idle for a moment, and he can't even take care of Qiao Mingyue when he sees him coming, and he is thinking about the accounts.
Qiao Mingyue took the opportunity to hide in the inner room and observe the people outside, the clothing styles were basically the same, all of them were popular in the small towns near Kyoto, and they were surprisingly unified.
If something happens, there must be a demon.
"Shopkeeper, check out." It was a big man who came over and slapped him on the pillar, so frightened that the shopkeeper almost jumped up.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and swept quickly with an abacus, "This guest officer, a total of sixteen taels." ”
The big man was talking with a smile to the people around him, but when he heard the shopkeeper's words, his expression changed instantly, "What? Why so many? You're not going to be a black shop, are you? Specifically bullying honest people like us? ”
Qiao Mingyue stood aside and listened speechlessly, which station did the big brother go out to, the black shop dared to bully, and said that he was an honest person, tsk.
The shopkeeper has also seen a lot of strange people, and he was not intimidated by this situation, and tried to calm himself down, "This guest officer, it may be that there are many of you, and there are more dishes here, so it will naturally be expensive." ”
The big man was anxious for an instant when he heard this, and he dragged him in front of him by the collar of the shopkeeper, and the distance was a little closer, and he could kiss him.
"What are you talking nonsense? Lao Tzu came alone, and he ate alone, don't give me these useless things. ”
The people in the store all turned their heads and looked at them curiously, a few little two surrounded and hesitated to step forward, the shopkeeper quietly gave them a gesture, asked them to step aside, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, if this is not the case, our store will give you a good daughter red on the altar, what do you think?" ”
Yunxiangge is a big store in the national chain, and this discount is still affordable.
The big man may have had enough trouble, so he thought about it and nodded and let go of the shopkeeper, "I told you I can watch here, don't you want to play a fake in front of me." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper regained control of his neckline, quickly settled the account for the big man, and sent him out respectfully.
The big man walked away happily with the wine, and the shopkeeper turned back, handed over the work of settling accounts to his assistant, and turned around and went into the inner room.
"Let the two bosses laugh." Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun were waiting for him inside, and the shopkeeper saluted them as soon as they came in.
Qiao Mingyue hurriedly stopped him, "Where is it, it's too late for me to admire the shopkeeper, this fearless mentality is not something anyone can have." ”
"Awards, awards." Hearing Qiao Mingyue's words, the shopkeeper's heart was completely relieved, and he wiped his sweat tiredly, "Boss Liang has already sent someone to report the letter, and I will ask Xiao Er to bring the account book to the two of you in a while." ”
Qiao Mingyue nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper." ”
"Don't bother, don't bother, if you two have anything else to order, just ask." The shopkeeper said respectfully. He knew the true identities of these two, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.
"There's really something I want to ask the shopkeeper." Qi Jingyun, who had been standing aside and not speaking, suddenly opened his mouth, and his eyes fell on the shopkeeper.
"Please."
"When did those people from outside appear in Kyoto?" Qi Jingyun had been observing the people outside just now, the big man who was making trouble in front had an unshaved beard on his face, judging from the shape, he should have had a beard before, and not long after he shaved it off, he still had a gold bracelet on his wrist, although it was blocked by the sleeves, Qi Jingyun still saw a rough idea, it didn't look like the Central Plains method.
Yunxiang Pavilion is a famous restaurant in Kyoto City, the number of people who come and go in a day is thousands, and the shopkeeper is the manager of the whole restaurant, and he should be more sensitive to the personnel exchanges in Kyoto City.
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and replied: "It should have started three days ago, and every day there are a large number of merchants who come to Yunxiang Pavilion to eat, because there are more people here, and I have paid special attention to it." ”
"Are they all dressed the same?" Qiao Mingyue asked.
If it had started three days ago, then now this mysterious caravan had already imported nearly 10,000 people to Kyoto City, and according to this calculation, almost every corner of Kyoto had their people.
The shopkeeper nodded, "It looks the same, it's a style that Kyoto City eliminated a few years ago, but there are still quite a few small towns around, so it's no surprise that they should have rested there." ”
Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun's hearts sank when they heard this, and the two glanced at each other, with unprecedented vigilance in their eyes.
"Trouble the shopkeeper, you go get busy." Qiao Mingyue turned her head and smiled at the shopkeeper, sent the shopkeeper out, and reached out to close the door of the inner room.
"What's going on? Is there no news at the court? Qiao Mingyue took a chair to block the door, turned her head and asked Qi Jingyun.
Qi Jingyun shook his head, his hand gently rubbed his eyebrows, the situation was even worse than he thought before, nearly 10,000 people poured in in three days, but there was no news from the imperial court, either these people were hiding too well, or someone in the court suppressed their whereabouts.
However, he quickly vetoed the first one, judging from the performance of these people, how can they not look like people who know what is hidden, so what kind of purpose are the people in the court who help them?
Everything is unknown to them now, and there is a huge mystery hidden in these people.
Qi Jingyun didn't dare to delay, "I'll go into the palace to take a look, you wait here to get the account book, and when you get it, you can go back to the house directly, don't wait for me." ”
Qiao Mingyue tugged at his sleeve and looked at him worriedly, "Pay attention to safety, I'll wait for you to come back in the palace." ”
Qi Jingyun held her in his arms, gently dropped a kiss on her lips, and looked at her affectionately, "Lady should also pay attention to safety." ”
Qiao Mingyue nodded, took the initiative to leave his embrace, and picked up the hat to help him put it on, "Let's go." ”
Qi Jingyun nodded, pushed open the door and walked out, disappearing into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
