In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yun came to Beishi alone, it was still early in the morning, there were few pedestrians in Beishi, and most of the shops had just removed their door panels and had not yet started business. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lu Yun walked along the street lined with shops and came to a very grand building in the center of the North City. I saw that under it was a pedestal made of two layers of white marble, and on the pedestal, there were dozens of vermilion thick Yongding pillars to sit on an equal footing. Three high-rise buildings were built on the flat seat, the middle one is five stories high, and the annex buildings on the left and right also have three floors, all of which are vermilion walls and tiles, and magnificent. Between the buildings, each with a flying bridge railing, light and shade communication. Even in the North Market, where there are many high-rise mansions, it still stands out from the crowd and looks down on the crowd.

In Lu Yun's opinion, the luxury and grandeur of this building can already be compared with the imperial palace. But it adheres to the regulations everywhere, and people can't find the slightest fault. His gaze wandered up and down the building, and finally fixed on the plaque in black letters on a blue background at the gate - 'Shang's Head Office'.

This is the headquarters of the merchant in the capital, which is rich in the world and wealthy, which is vividly reflected from this building.

Lu Yun shook his head and sighed lightly, then walked up the smooth stone steps, only to see that the two vermilion lacquer gates had been opened, and next to a pair of ostentatious stone lions at the door, there were four tall and burly guards standing in each.

Lu Yun looked at the eight guards, and was surprised again, those eight guards were all Xuan-level powerhouses. Among the seven valves, I am afraid that only the Xiahou Valve and Pei Valve, who are as strong as the clouds, can be extravagant enough to use a Xuan-level powerhouse to guard the door.

In addition to the eight Xuanjie guards, there were a number of capable and clever disciples, standing there with their heads bowed. Seeing this young boy coming up the stairs, a disciple stepped forward, saluted him, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This young man is early, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

"I took the liberty to come here and ask to see the merchant's eldest lady." Lu Yun smiled and arched his hand, and then pulled out a famous thorn from his sleeve.

As soon as the disciple heard this kid speak, he was about to see his eldest lady, and there was a trace of imperceptible disdain in his eyes, he had seen too much of such a Meng Langzi. But he still politely took the famous thorn, prepared to be perfunctory, and politely blocked him out of the door.

But when he saw the name on the navy blue name tattoo and the silver-white family emblem in the upper right corner of the name tattoo, he actually held back all the perfunctory words he had prepared. "Oh, it turned out to be the famous Lu Gongzi!"

"Exactly down there." Lu Yun nodded, and said with a wry smile in his heart: "Am I already famous?" I hope it's not notoriety. ’

"I'm sorry, it's too early, my eldest lady hasn't come over yet." The disciple finished politely, but said apologetically to Lu Yun: "Why don't you come back later?" ”

"It's okay, I'll just wait here." Lu Yun shook his head with a smile, and said calmly.

"It's cool in autumn outside," Menzi hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Then please ask Childe to eat tea inside and wait." ”

"Thank you." Lu Yun nodded, and followed Menzi into the hall of the Shang family's head office, only to see that the hall was extremely spacious, and the decoration was very luxurious.

Although this is the head office of all the merchants' businesses, there is no office in the lobby on the first floor, which is used to show the strong financial resources of the merchants. In one corner of the hall, there are several small rooms separated by rosewood latticework, which are furnished with several tables, which are full of refreshments and fruits, and are lit with fine sandalwood, apparently for visitors to wait.

Menzi guided him to sit down in a cubicle, and a delicate maid served him fragrant tea.

"The son will sit down for the time being, as soon as the eldest lady of my family comes back, the villain will immediately pass through." The man said an explanation to Lu Yun, and then bowed and retreated.

Lu Yun's eyes kept following his back, and through the rosewood lattice, Lu Yun clearly saw that he went straight up the stairs, obviously going up to report the news.

The so-called eldest lady is not there, and eighty percent is an excuse. 'Lu Yun had already understood clearly before he came, and the merchants did have many luxurious mansions inside and outside Luojing, but Miss Shang liked to live in the head office, otherwise why would Lu Yun rush here early in the morning?

But since people want to be pretentious, he can only pretend not to know.

Listening to the melodious sound of the piano coming from nowhere, Lu Yun took a sip of fragrant tea and looked at this small compartment. I saw that on those rosewood lattice shelves, books, bamboo slips, vases, cultural toys and other things were placed in a staggered manner, and the vases were inserted with delicate flowers.

Lu Yunxin took out a scroll of bamboo slips, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Dew" in the Han Dynasty, which he had only seen the engraved version of today, but had not yet read the original text of the Han Dynasty. Lu Yun couldn't help but sigh again, even a cubicle for visitors to wait was so perfect, and the grandeur of the business was really to the bone. Moreover, this can not only be done with money, but also with considerable taste and cultivation.

After a slight sigh, Lu Yun looked at the scroll with relish, but who knew that after enjoying the tea, someone was led in and sitting. Lu Yun frowned slightly, glanced around, and found that there were already three or four visitors sitting in the cubicles that were empty before. Looking at the dress of these people, most of them are businessmen, and most of them are the children of scholars like him, and there are no ordinary people anyway.

However, they are all merchants and merchants sitting at the same table, and the scholars and scholars are sitting at the same table, even if this is the territory of the largest merchant in the world, they dare not break the rule of 'Shishu does not sit at the same table'.

In this era, the people of the scholar clan have always regarded the son of Han Su as a servant and as easy as a mustard, and will never be with him. Even if the Shu clan is prominent and rises to the rank of noble relative, if he does not go to see the clan himself, he will not be courteous to the clan, and he will even be insulted. That is, this is the territory of the merchants, otherwise as long as there is a place where the scholars appear, the Shu people will have to retreat.

The one who was invited to sit with Lu Yun was naturally also a scholar. I saw that the man actually brought a cushion with him and rested it on the mat in the compartment, and then sat down. The maid served him tea, but he didn't touch it, and said to Lu Yun who was holding the tea: "You are too unparticular, how can we people of the Shi clan drink the water of the Shu clan?" ”

This was said in front of the man and the maid, Lu Yun felt a burst of blushing when he heard it, but the man said with a natural face: "Although you are still young, you should also be self-respecting, don't lose your face." After a pause, he asked Lu Yundao, "By the way, which family are you from?" ”

"The Lu family." Lu Yun moved his gaze to the scroll, he didn't want to pay attention to this inexplicable megalomaniac.

"Lu family, ......" When the man heard this, he seemed to be interested in him, and first naturally introduced: "I am Xie Valve, my name is Xie Yu." My second uncle is the manager of the Accounting Institute of the Valve, and if he hadn't ordered it, I wouldn't have come to this kind of ghost place. This Xie Yu doesn't seem to despise the Shu clan, so he won't speak.

Lu Yun originally thought that he was so arrogant, how could he be a descendant of the gate valve, but when he heard his name and self-introduction, he knew that he could no longer be biased. A side line can be crazy like this, and there is really no one.

"Isn't this about to start winter? I'm here to buy a batch of cold things for Valve. That Xie Yu didn't see Lu Yun's boredom, and still said to himself: "Hey, this kind of personnel, how can we use people like us to go out, just let the people below run away, I don't know what my uncle thinks." Saying that, he asked Lu Yundao again: "What about you, what are you here for?" ”
