Chapter 44: The Dead in the East Market
A gust of autumn wind rises, and the fallen leaves fly all over the sky, drifting away with the wind.
Full of ambition, he glanced at the street where the fallen leaves were fluttering, and said proudly: "Liuliuzi, I said it, young master, if I don't make money, I am afraid of making money." Uncle Lu, with a snap of my fingers, the silver money rolled in. ”
"It's just a fox and a fake tiger, and the income of each family will not go into your pocket." Liuzi said coldly.
"Fox fake Huwei, you come to show me Fox fake Huwei. Without Uncle Lu's mind, you can't even do it. Besides, if you do such a big thing this time, will the one in the view be missing my reward? ”;
I was very annoyed when I was on the road, and sometimes I was not as comfortable as Boss Hu when I went out with this guy.
"Let's talk about it when it's in your hands." Liuzi still said without being salty.
I decided that I didn't want to deal with the thorny wood guy in front of me anymore.
One crisp autumn morning, I called out Tang Xiaoqi when I passed by, and said to her mysteriously: "Pack up and dress up, and I'll take you out to see the master after a while." Then take you for a good walk in Chang'an. ”
Tang Xiaoqi jumped up happily, and suddenly asked in a daze: "Master, when did you have an extra teacher in Chang'an?" ”
He lowered his voice in Tang Xiaoqi's ear and said, "The one in the Yuzhen Temple, and Mr. Taibai, hehe." The road was obscure, and it was a lewd gesture.
Tang Xiaoqi was speechless, and gestured stupidly to the road, and then the two laughed insolently.
Tang Xiaoqi, who was cowering, walked into the last hall and saw Princess Yuzhen with a smile on her face, as well as a beautiful female Taoist priest with a sad expression beside her.
When I passed by, I couldn't recognize this beautiful chick with a high nose and deep eyes as Ge Shu Xiaoye, but I didn't dare to show half of it. Respectfully knelt down in front of Princess Yuzhen.
"The disciple is on the way, Tang Xiaoqi pays a visit to Uncle Zhiying!";
Princess Yuzhen, who was in a good mood, waved her hand to let the two of them get up, looked at Tang Xiaoqi carefully, and praised in her mouth: "This ancient leaf is really discerning, and picking it up can help his junior brother pick up such a little lady who is like a flower and jade, even I like it very much." ”
After passing by, Tang Xiaoqi and Tang Xiaoqi couldn't laugh when they wanted to, and they were bitter in their hearts, so they stood there and didn't dare to speak.
"This is my newly recruited disciple, Master Xiaoye, you have come to see it." Princess Yuzhen demonstrated, and glanced at the road.
"Xiao Ye has seen Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Tang." The heroic Geshu Xiaoye was actually tossed into such a delicate and weak appearance.
"I have something to say to your Senior Brother Lu, take your Senior Sister Tang to the side to talk." Princess Yuzhen called the two away.
"Hmmm! You've done a good job this time. But are you sure that business at Orchid Liquor will be better? Can the composting method really increase the yield by 40%? Yu Zhen first praised with satisfaction, and then asked with some concern.
"Master, you can put 10,000 hearts. The composting method, Dongchangyan has already experimented, maybe it is not less than forty percent. There is no problem with the business of the orchid restaurant, and you will know when it opens. He replied complacently.
Princess Yuzhen nodded, and asked again: "What kind of mess will help those people in the West Market, they all honor me for nothing, there won't be any mess, right?" ”
"Where will it be? The disciples gave them ideas and found a way to make money, and they were not in a hurry to thank them, so how could they cause any trouble. Besides, the rules have been set together, and Xishi and Nagaoling County are safe and stable. Everyone is harmonious and wealthy, and there is no chaos, and even the government has to be secretly happy. Unless you encounter a troublesome lawsuit, the master only needs to show her intention to deal with it impartially, and you can accept these filial piety with peace of mind. ”;
Said with a relaxed attitude.
Princess Yuzhen relieved her heart and said with satisfaction: "It seems that you are much more useful than your master." In the past, let him have an idea, always hold his head high, non-state affairs, don't look for him.
You can tell me that this makes the nullah clear, Chang'an clean, and it can also increase grain production, and the flowers have a way to live. Gaoling County, West City, is no longer chaotic, and business is more prosperous. Chang'an also has an extra short-distance carriage, which is convenient to travel. These are not important things that benefit the country and the people, what are they.
It seems that you still have some skills, and I will say it in front of the sage brother when I have the chance. ”
The merits were counted one by one, how could you be unexpected. This may have fallen into the ears of the saint, and he almost floated up, waiting for the reward of Princess Yuzhen.
I waited for a long time with a smile, but I didn't see anything to say to Princess Yuzhen. Don't you really think that my little seven was picked up by your precious son and given to me, won't you just say it in front of a saint. God knows what a lot of money it will bring you.
"Call Xiao Qi over." Princess Yuzhen smiled and said as if to the air.
Tang Xiaoqi was brought over, Princess Yuzhen waved her hand, and a young female Taoist priest brought out two richly decorated wooden boxes. When I opened it, I almost blinded my eyes with the jewels.
"This is a jewelry headdress that I bought from all over the world when I traveled in my early years. Such a lovely girl, this stingy guy who passed by didn't give you some jewelry, this virtue is not good, not as good as his master Qinglian.
I don't need these things, and they don't come out of the palace. I'll give it to you, don't worry about committing a taboo. ”;
Tang Xiaoqi was almost stupid when he was on the road, and looked at the two boxes of jewelry in front of Tang Xiaoqi in a daze.
"It's okay, you can go down. By the way, Xiao Qi, you have to keep an eye on this man's money bag. Don't be like his old ghost master, show mercy everywhere. Without money, he can't go around if he wants to. ”
After walking out of Yuzhenguan for a long time, I haven't eased my breath after the road, fuck, there are so many nosy, such a pit teacher!
Two boxes of jewelry were taken home by Saturday. After passing the road, Tang Xiaoqi was like a dream, one sweet and the other bitter, and came to Dongshi to shop.
In the squares around the East Market, deep in the shade of the trees, the people under the trees are all Zhu households. On the streets of Higashi City, elegant and atmospheric shops are adjacently connected. The goods bought are either strange or precious, and the people who come and go are not obvious and expensive.
Tang Xiaoqi held the arm of the road, looked around curiously, rarely walked into those shops, she enjoyed the feeling of walking on the street with the road like this.
Seeing a jade shop, Tang Xiaoqi stopped.
"Shi Niang just gave you so much jewelry, what's so beautiful about this jade shop." The tone is sour.
"Stupid! I want to buy you a good jade pendant, and you are embarrassed to not return the jade pendant that has been occupying the Saturday son. Tang Xiaoqi gave Lu a roll of his eyes, turned around and walked in.
It's still my own lady who hurts herself! I walked by, and I followed in my heart.
Seeing the luxurious boxes on the cabinet, there were crystal clear and exquisitely made jade pendants, which almost dazzled Tang Xiaoqi's eyes. And the smacking price of the Na Ning people also made it difficult for her to make up her mind.
"Little lady, what about choosing a jade pendant? Look at this one. The color is warm but not transparent, bright but not flashing, and the brilliance is introverted. Such jade is good jade. It was only at the price of 1,200 taels of silver, and it was worth thousands of dollars to buy it back. A voice sounded next to Xiao Qi, vaguely familiar.
When he passed by, he thought that Tang Xiaoqi had met Meng Lang's disciple, so he hurriedly rushed over from the side, and saw that he was an acquaintance who was not very familiar.
"Ahh It turns out that Brother Lu! When did you get to Chang'an. I won't notify my little brother and give you a pick-up. Cheng Changmu took the lead in greeting.
"Brother Cheng is polite, my family was originally in Chang'an, and the health hall in Ping'an Fang on Pingwu Street is, what kind of wind do you need to pick up." Said with a smile.
"So this beauty is the little seventh girl? Brother Lu, you are really fast enough, and the younger brother admires it very much. Cheng Changmu joked with a smile.
"Where, where! Brother Cheng, is this here to buy jade? He smiled proudly.
The sharp-eyed Cheng Changmu spotted the phoenix pattern on the sword at a glance, and was shocked, but he didn't show it at all, and patted the road affectionately: "I haven't seen you for a long time, my brother is so angry with me Cheng Fatzi, just call me Cheng Fatty." ”
Before he could react, Cheng Fatzi approached Tang Xiaoqi: "Hasn't Xiaoqi's sister-in-law made up her mind yet?" Fatty, I can't go wrong with what I recommend to you. ”
This fat man is also familiar with each other, and he is not so annoying. Tang Xiaoqi said with some hesitation when he heard this: "This jade is a good thing, but it is too expensive. ”
"Seventh sister-in-law, there are a lot of high-quality jade in this store, what price are you going to buy?" The fat man's title became closer and closer, and Tang Xiaoqi didn't even notice it.
"I was going to take a look at about two or three hundred taels." Tang Xiaoqi's face turned slightly red.
Cheng Fatzi was a little embarrassed, his shop almost didn't have such a low price of jade. After thinking about it, he pointed to the jade pendant and said distressedly: "As for the jade pendant you fancie, it is two hundred taels less than you, and the minimum is one thousand taels, and you can take it directly from the seventh sister-in-law." ”
After passing by, he looked at the fat man with some surprise: "Could it be that this jade shop is not opened by your family?" ”
Cheng Changmu spread his hands: "Otherwise, why am I here?" The nobles of the capital, who don't have one or two shops in the East Market. Otherwise, relying on the little silver of the ancestral title, who can sustain it. ”
Tang Xiaoqi looked at the road apologetically and said in a low voice: "Let's go, we don't have so much silver ourselves." There have been some on the public account recently, but I don't dare touch it. ”
"How much do you have on you?" Lu asked.
"With the remaining gold leaves from before, I saved some for myself, and it was only about five hundred taels. Why don't you sell a few pieces of the jewelry that your sister gave us, and we'll come back later. Tang Xiaoqi looked up at the road.
"What the elders gave you, how can you sell it at will. I'll talk to this fat man again. When he was on the road, he quickly interrupted Tang Xiaoqi's thoughts.
"Cheng Fatzi, I only have five hundred taels here, not much. Or I'll give you an idea to make your business boom. Five hundred taels, the jade pendant is mine, how about it? He said with a smile.
When Cheng Fatzi saw the phoenix pattern, he wanted to grit his teeth, and sold half of the five hundred taels and gave it away. After hearing this, he asked with some curiosity.
"Brother what's the idea, come and listen to my fat man?";
"This rich young master, one is the scholar of the academy, and the other is the Qinglou Oiran who entered the gold that day, isn't it? These two parties often tell stories of affection and love, and love and love.
All you need to do is secretly spread rumors in the academy that so-and-so Oiran bought a bright jade in your jade shop and gave it to his good scholar. Then the scholar Jin Shi and the first, the high school gold list, and the Oiran got married. The more rumors there are, the more widely they are, and it's hard for you to become famous in this jade shop. ”;
Said confidently.
Cheng Changmu was still calculating the total in his heart, and a clear female voice sounded next to him: "Good idea, good idea!" This note is not to say that it is seven hundred taels, but seven thousand taels are worth it. ”
Passing by, Leng Leng looked at the young woman who came over from the container next to her, dressed in men's clothes, her skin was like snow and her eyebrows were picturesque, at a glance, she was even more amazing than the original playboy, and she was followed by a young man in Tsing Yi, with a delicate appearance, and it was also a rare beauty.
"This son? We seem to have seen it somewhere, haven't we? The young woman in men's clothes looked at the road suspiciously.
