What Gu Xi didn't expect was that after he and Li Xiaogong signed a contract for 20,000 yuan each to subscribe for 20% of the shares after dinner, before they had two sips of tea, Yang Chong called Dongfang Bai, who had been waiting for a long time, and said: "Tomorrow the Chang'an branch of Jiangnan Porcelain Store will open, you prepare seats for Gu Family Master and Jiujiang Wang, they are now shareholders of Porcelain Bank." ”

It will open tomorrow, Gu Xi only felt dizzy, it was obvious that Yang Chong's plan had been prepared for two or three years, and it was already ready to be issued, and the porcelain kilns that Yuan Hongzhao bought must have produced a large number of products; Li Xiaogong didn't have so many ideas, so he agreed to come down and attend, but Gu Xi could only agree.

Only delayed the time for a cup of tea to come out, the two saw the advertisement of Jiangnan porcelain store on the street, and the Chang'an store was on the street opposite the Yue Wang's mansion where Yang Chong's own business gathered, and the fourth lady of the Yue Wang, Duhu Hong, the king of Jiujiang, Li Xiaogong, and the head of the Jiangnan Gu family, Gu Xi, cut the ribbon, as well as free performances and entertainment activities. Gu Xi shook his head and said, "I don't understand King Yue, he is so fond of business." ”

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "Lao Gu, we will be business partners in the future, let me remind you, don't make trouble." ”

Li Xiaogong smiled and left in his own carriage, Gu Xi still went to the store to take a look before going back, on the left of the porcelain shop was a Shiwen shop opened by Yang Fu, and on the right was a civilian bookstore, and there were many customers; The porcelain shop is decorated in the style of a Jiangnan storefront, the door plaque is antique, the furnishings in the store are staggered, and the murals on the wall are very charming; The shopkeeper was lecturing and teaching the guys how to do business, and he didn't care about outsiders watching.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sound of firecrackers on the bluestone slab outside the Jiangnan porcelain store continued, crowded with people, Li Xiaogong and the three of them cut the red ribbon with gold scissors in the smoke of gunpowder, and the crowd flocked into the store; Li Xiaogong shook his head with a smile, handed the golden scissors to his entourage, and left satisfied, but it was only a tea time to earn a pair of golden scissors full of color, and this kind of opportunity would be good if there were such opportunities every day.

Duhu Hong and Dongfang Bai accompanied Gu Xi to visit the store, in Gu Xi's eyes, this porcelain shop is a hodgepodge, several different regions of porcelain are placed together, can only be said to be beautiful in shape and variety. Blue and white, exquisite, white porcelain, each variety is from fine daily porcelain, divided into more than a dozen grades and varieties. To Gu Xi's surprise, it was in this that he saw a real boutique, which was no worse than the Gu family's collection.

A kind of blue and white porcelain vase, the shape is not particularly outstanding, but the color of the white ground and blue flowers makes people love it, the porcelain tire is delicate, crystal and soft; The blue flowers are fresh and bright, the glaze is bright and clean, and the white is green, verdant and dripping. It's a pity that there are only three pieces, which were chosen by three guests and are being paid; Gu Xi asked Dongfang Bai: "Which kiln might you find out which of those three pieces?" Do you also have a kiln in Gong County? ”

Dongfang Bai said with certainty: "No problem, each of our porcelain has a number, it is called blue and white porcelain, not from the Gongxian kiln, it is Luo Shixin who made a kiln in Xinping Town, and the master brought it from Gongxian." The Gu family mainly likes it, and will send someone to the house next time. ”

This is reasonable, according to Yang Chong's status, as long as there is a craftsman, no one dares not to give it, Gu Xi instantly understood that Yang Chong's planned action was already irreversible. When he saw clearly that the store still sold tea from Hangzhou and Xuancheng, Gu Xi was completely convinced, two taels or half a catty of tea cans were all kinds of colors, although they were nothing in their eyes, but for ordinary people, they had a unique complexion when they were bandaged and taken out.

Most civilians are actually not so particular about tea and porcelain, as long as they look at the scene and feel okay, they will buy one or two, two taels, or even half a catty. Yang Chong didn't know what means he used, it had been nine months, and the tea leaves taken out of the tea pot were still green; Gu Xi is also in the tea business at home, but he knows that the preservation of tea is a big problem.

After asking Yang Chong clearly that he was still resting in the Yue Wang's Mansion, Gu Xi immediately came to visit, Yang Chong met him in the small living room, soaked in the dragon well and said, "But what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "What else is not satisfied, I am here to confess to you." ”

Yang Chong asked with a smile: "It's about your family, don't you need to go back to discuss?" ”

Gu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "You have guessed everything, what else do you have to discuss." The plum blossom monk is a friend of Master Zhiguo, and now he is in Jiang Duofu, all of which should be his bureau; But as soon as the ribbon was cut today, it is estimated that he must have run away, not that I deliberately waited for him to leave to sell favors, but I really had this worry. ”

Yang Chong nodded with a smile and said, "I believe in you." The plum blossom monk went out of the city early in the morning in a hunting team, and had been caught after taking off the list; Master Zhiguo took one thing from Li Shimin's relics, and he was also arrested when he was about to leave the city this morning, and now many people are anxious. ”

Yang Chong didn't say specifically, Gu Xi also understood that the hunting team must have been arranged by Jiang Duo, if it was someone else, Yang Chong's subordinates would not choose to wait for the plum blossom monk to get off the sleeve alone, and they would definitely throw the entire hunting team into prison. Gu Xi asked in a low voice, "Master Zhiguo came to Chang'an for this thing?" ”

Yang Chong said: "You can't say anything to others, you and I must trust each other, and what he took away was a copper key that Li Shimin carried with him." Originally, I thought it was a souvenir or decoration, but now that I look at it, the key is still very particular, and I believe that the mystery will soon be revealed. ”

In the hands of Tianqi and Meng Tuo, 90% of the people will confess, and if they are people, they have weaknesses, as long as the weaknesses are discovered by these two people, that person is worse than death. Cui Wuniang came in from outside the door and said, "Lord, the princess invites you to come over." ”

Yang Chong's face darkened, and he said to Cui Wuniang: "I am entertaining the Gu family master, there will be something later, you tell the princess, let her rest well, and don't worry about the outside affairs anymore." If it's a family matter, you let her explain it to you or the third lady, and you don't need to discuss it with me. ”

Gu Xi wanted to stand up and leave, but he knew that now was the time for him and Jiang Duo to draw a clear line, and he couldn't be impulsive at will; Yang Chong waited for Cui Wuniang to leave and asked Gu Xi: "I heard Pei Lin say, you intend to stay in Chang'an to serve, or you will first be an idle job as a free horseman, and when you are familiar with the situation in Chang'an, I will arrange something for you to do." ”

Yang Chong's words were beautiful, which made Gu Xi feel very comfortable, Gu Xi obviously wanted to be an official, but in Yang Chong's mouth, he wanted to do things; Gu Xi hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you King Yue for your support." ”

Gu Xi understands that no matter how good the relationship is, when encountering this situation, it is still necessary to talk about respect and humility; If you forget even your humility, you won't be able to make friends for long.
