Chapter 98: Xuan Nian buys sugar gourds
It didn't take long for the guy to bring the meal, and the two of them listened to everyone's gossip while eating.
Not far away, two businessmen sat around the table, and while they were eating, they were talking about the Xu family and the Zhong family's ready-to-wear shop.
Merchant A played with the wine glass and looked at the person opposite: "Brother, I heard that a few days ago, the new clothes launched by the Xu family were actually from the Zhong family, but they were stolen by the King of Pingjun. ”
Merchant B said incredulously, "And this is the case? ”
Merchant A said: "It is said that the Xu family lost a big face at the plum blossom banquet. The clothes they wore collided with people, and the headdresses they wore also collided with people. Princess Fuyou also wanted to let others replace it, but it turned out that other people's were from the hands of famous artists, and the same is true for jewelry, so she had to change it herself, but she still bumped into it, and finally had to give up. ”
Merchant B said, "Isn't the banquet very lively?" ”
Merchant A said: "Of course, isn't that the queen's benevolence for the sake of the people, the ladies and ladies of all families also helped, and the most surprising thing is that Princess Fuyou and her daughters actually donated all their jewelry." ”
Merchant B said: "Tsk, it's really good to pull hatred!" ”
Merchant A said: "No, the ladies and ladies saw this, and hurriedly added some property. However, early this morning, Lord Hui Yu and Concubine Xu went to the Zhong family's jade ornament shop to make trouble......"
Wang Xuannian listened, raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xuanlan, blinked his eyes, and just wanted to ask, but was stuffed with a dish with a large chopsticks by Zhong Xuanlan.
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Eat, the business house will be fine." ”
Wang Xuannian nodded.
After finishing the meal, the man cleaned up, served tea to the two of them, and let them go.
Zhong Xuanlan drank tea slowly, listening to the news in the restaurant.
Wang Xuannian put down the teacup and asked worriedly, "Lan'er, will there be any trouble in this Xu family?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan said nonchalantly: "As long as I don't touch my things." ”
The merchant here said: "Youzhou tax silver was robbed, do you think this big boss will be dismissed?" ”
Merchant B was surprised, "What? When did this happen? ”
Merchant A picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Merchant B, and said in a low voice: "It seems that it was yesterday, the early dynasty was discussing the matter of the iron mine in Qingyun County, and there was an urgent report that the tax and silver had been robbed, and that person was immediately angry, and immediately wanted to abolish the prince." ”
Merchant B said disbelievingly: "Huh? That's a bit weird! ”
Merchant A whispered, "I tell you, don't spread the word, now the treasury is empty." ”
Merchant B said worriedly, "Then aren't we merchants going to be unlucky?" ”
Merchant A waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Hey, it's not good for us to be unlucky?" Isn't there still a big man on top! ”
Merchant B took a sip of wine, changed the subject, and asked, "Brother Gao, are you going to today's auction?" ”
Merchant Jia nodded slightly and said, "Of course I want to go." Today will definitely be very lively, if you can watch another battle between the six imperial merchants, you will be feasted on for the eyes. ”
"I heard that this matter was proposed by Zhong Da, do you believe it?"
Merchant A shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, why is Master Zhong doing a thankless job?" It must be misinformation, how stupid are those who believe! ”
Merchant B nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe these are all to win people's hearts under the banner of Zhong Da Boss......
Wang Xuannian listened, glanced at Zhong Xuanlan, saw that her expression was normal, and thought to himself: He just believed that this matter must have Zhong Xuanlan's handwriting, could he be wrong?
Retracting his thoughts, he asked worriedly, "Lan'er, you'll be fine, and the Zhong family won't be in trouble, right?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, squinted his eyes at the two people in front of him, and carefully looked at Merchant A, his news was too well-informed, who told him?
The two were silent for a while, and Wang Xuannian chatted with her about other things.
After a long time, the two of them came out of the restaurant, and seeing that the snow had stopped, Wang Xuannian pulled Zhong Xuanlan around the street.
Wang Xuannian stretched out his left hand and pointed to the stall in front of him, and said with novelty in his eyes: "Lan'er, look at that." ”
Zhong Xuanlan looked at his hand and saw that it was a set of overseas wine glasses. "Do you like it?" ”
Wang Xuannian shook his head slightly and said, "I just think it's novel." ”
Zhong Xuanlan introduced: "This is an overseas thing, the Eastern Yuan Dynasty's Quanzhou Blue Sea City is close to the sea, maritime trade is prosperous, and many overseas merchants come from afar with all kinds of goods to trade with us. If we have time, let's take a look. ”
Wang Xuannian responded with a smile: "Okay! ”
Zhong Xuanlan led Wang Xuannian and continued to walk forward, the sound of selling was endless, and the sound was in the ears, and the two would occasionally stop and watch before continuing to move forward.
Wang Xuannian found that passers-by were looking at Zhong Xuanlan, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, his hand was hidden in his sleeve, pinching his sleeve, rubbing, looking at Zhong Xuanlan expectantly, and said, "Lan'er, are you okay with a mask?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan took the mask off the stall and handed it to Wang Xuannian, while saying, "You help me put it on." After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Wang Xuannian's movements.
Wang Xuannian smiled, took the mask, put it on for her, Zhong Xuanlan, who put on the fox mask, looked more like a fox in his eyes. He nodded in satisfaction.
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Let's go." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of silver to the vendor, and then pulled Wang Xuannian away.
Wang Xuannian was in a happy mood, walked forward briskly, and asked, "When will the Lan'er auction start?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan responded: "Not yet." ”
Wang Xuannian turned to face Zhong Xuanlan, tilted his head slightly, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Then where are we going next?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan asked rhetorically, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Wang Xuannian turned his head to look up at Zhong Xuanlan's side face, and said, "Shall we go to the teahouse to listen to books?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
At this time, they were standing next to the intersection, a cold wind blew, and Wang Xuannian suddenly heard a voice: "Sugar gourd, sweet and delicious sugar gourd......"
Turned around and raised his eyes to look in front of the right, and said, "Lan'er, you wait here, I'll come when I go." As he spoke, he let go of Zhong Xuanlan's hand and ran forward.
Not long after, Wang Xuannian panted and took back a string of sugar gourds.
Zhong Xuanlan saw this and asked, "Do you like sugar gourds?" ”
Wang Xuannian said truthfully without hesitation: "The second brother said that Lan'er likes to eat sugar gourds. ”
Zhong Xuanlan was stunned and replied, "He likes to eat." ”
Wang Xuannian was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, looked at her eyes with a slight tilt, and said with a serious expression: "Lan'er, I am your husband." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "The little guy is my little husband." ”
Wang Xuannian smiled and asked, "Then what about this sugar gourd?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian's expression, hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the sugar gourd, and said, "I'll eat it." ”
Seeing this, Wang Xuannian was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
