"Aha! I don't know what to call this benevolent brother? Why don't you come in and have a drink? Zhuang Yi was furious, and immediately strode out, came to the corridor, grabbed the scribe's arm and pulled it in, but his face was full of smiles, and he invited warmly.

"A certain surname Yang, is a Yuyang County Ya engaged in ......" The scribe was caught, and suddenly felt a little bad, he wanted to push Zhuang Yi's hand away, but he couldn't break free, but was pulled and staggered, he was a little annoyed, and shouted: "Where did you come from, what are you doing with so-and-so, let go quickly......"

Zhuang Yi ignored him, pulled him to the banquet, sat down, hooked his neck with one hand, picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth. Yang shut up and refused to drink, and the wine was dripping his cheeks and clothes.

At this time, two more young scribes walked in when they heard the voice, obviously Yang Zhi's companions, and when they saw Zhuang Yi and Yang Zheng hooking their shoulders, they were a little surprised, and hurriedly bowed. Zhuang Yi saw that Yang Zhi's slender face was crappy, so he was about to scold, patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly said: "The two brothers are sitting here, this Yang is my classmate and friend, I haven't seen him for many years, and today I met my old acquaintance in another country!" Yang Zhi was so happy, he couldn't help but be a little babbling, don't blame the two of you! Come on, come on! We're drunk! ”

The other two scribes looked at each other and wondered. A scribe in his twenties smiled with a smile on his face, pointed to a young man next to him and said: "A certain surname is Song, this is a certain friend Zhang Yatong, the word is the same light, thank you for your hospitality, we still have important things to do, so I won't accompany you!" ”

"Aha...... So how can it? You're so kind, please take a seat! Zhuang Yi said in his mouth, but he sat still, stepped on Yang Cheng's black leather boots, crushed them vigorously, put down the wine pot in his hand, picked up the wine cup next to Shagu, and continued to pour wine to Yang. Sha Gu was not stupid, he kept pouring wine, and in a short time he finished pouring two pots of wine.

Poor Yang grinned in pain, his face was dark but he couldn't open his mouth, and he whined. It wasn't until the wine ran out that Zhuang Yi let him go, hugged his neck fiercely, lifted it up and laughed: "Yang engaged!" Since your two friends said that you still have something, then I won't keep you, and I'll be the east another day, and I'll get drunk with the three of you! ”

"You, you...... Certain...... Thank you! Yang Zhi was unrestrained, said with a cloudy face, and immediately turned around and left.

"Slow down, three! The three of us and I hit it off at first sight, and when we are free tomorrow, we will definitely come to visit! ”

"Please stay! Please stay! Goodbye, goodbye! The scribe surnamed Song saw that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything.

Another scribe surnamed Zhang looked inexplicable and followed the other two downstairs. The three of them walked out of the restaurant, turned the corner, and the scribe surnamed Zhang couldn't help but pull Yang Cheng and asked, "Brother Xiuwen!" What the hell is going on here? ”

"Hi...... Same light! You haven't seen it yet, the poor acid is not a thing, he brings a lot of people! A group of strong men are not good! Let's go find someone to inquire and see where the big measures came from, so rude. The scribe surnamed Song said indignantly.

"Good stone! Same light! The two of you are from Fanyang, and you didn't entertain you well, so you don't want to go! It's strange to say that there are so many mouths! Why do you do it, go back to the yamen to find someone to find out their details, and you must clean them up. Yang said as he waved his fist in annoyance.

Zhuang Yi and the others were already full of wine and food, and after calling the guys to settle the bill, Mei Xiang carried the money bag to the counter to deliver it. Zhuang Yi led everyone out of the restaurant with a smile, asked Shi Dali to rush to the carriage and horses, and the group went straight to the West Market.

The goods traded in the West Market were mainly bulk mules and horses, cattle and sheep, cloth, grain, etc., and if you wanted to buy daily necessities, you had to go to the East Market, which is located in the southeast of the city. Zhuang Yi and his entourage naturally flew into the air, so they had to cross the street again and swayed to the East Market, where there were many shops and pedestrians rubbing shoulders one after another.

Zhuang Yi found a Hu people's jewelry store, asked Shi Dali to guard the door with his personal guards, and brought Sha Gu and Mei Xiang into the store, Mei Xiang was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of jewelry behind the counter, and looked at it with great interest.

A fat young man saw that Zhuang Yi was the host, and stepped forward to ask, "Does this guest want to buy jewelry or sell valuables?" ”

"Sell...... Call your shopkeepers. ”

The man immediately turned around and went to the inner room, and then brought out a thin old man. Zhuang Yi took out a thumb-sized Dongzhu from his arms, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper take a look at this?" You estimate it! ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand to take it, and looked carefully at the sunlight shining in from the window for a long time, but said with a chuckle: "This bead is still a little tender, it can only be regarded as average, how about four hundred dollars?" ”

"What? You snatch it! Zhuang Yi snatched the beads from the shopkeeper's hand and sneered.

The shopkeeper looked down at his empty right hand, a little dazed, with a hellish expression. He only felt a big hand in front of him, his right wrist tightened and numb, his fingers were loosened weakly, and the beads that were tightly clasped in the palm of his hand returned to the other party's hand. I immediately understood in my heart that the young man in front of me was not easy to mess with.

"Hey...... Don't go, guest officer! If you have a lot of these beads, I can consider raising the price a little bit, but it also depends on the texture, size and vintage. The shopkeeper immediately rushed up to block Zhuang Yi's way, and said with a humble smile.

Zhuang Yi turned around and laughed, and suddenly took out a white bead the size of a pigeon's egg, and flashed it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes. The shopkeeper's eyes immediately widened, his Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

"Guest, please come into the house and talk, and follow me up to the second floor." The shopkeeper immediately smiled and crooked his mouth. Zhuang Yi nodded and said hello, and Sha Gu and Mei Xiang turned around and followed.

The shopkeeper took the three of them to a richly decorated small hall on the second floor, sat them down, and personally served tea, and then turned around and went out.

After a while, the bead curtain covering the door sounded, the fragrance of jasmine permeated, a graceful young lady in a pink dress leaned in, she held the red silk ribbon in the crook of her arm, and walked in lightly, the clothes fluttered and looked smart and dusty, the bright red lips were slightly upturned, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, indescribably lazy and charming.

She glanced at the three of them, immediately locked her gaze on Zhuang Yi's face, and walked across from her and sat down with a smile. In a bone-soft voice, he said, "Yo...... So young! I heard that this Xiaolangjun has a good Dongzhu, so let's take a look! As long as the slave family can see it, the price will never lose Xiao Langjun! ”

As soon as Hu Niang spoke, Sha Gu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and Mei Xiang looked nervous, and immediately went to Zhuang Yi's side and tightened his sleeves.

"Hey...... Why is my heart pounding, thinking that I have walked into the girl's boudoir! It's just that there seem to be more people outside the door, which is not good! Zhuang Yi looked at Hu Niang opposite, looked at her delicate facial features, white skin like clotted cream, delicate and slender neck, and sneered.

Hu Niang Gegejiao laughed, and said casually: "Xiao Langjun said that he was laughing, there are just some people outside the door, how can you not protect such a valuable thing?" People who know each other call the slave family Lei Niang, I don't know what Xiao Langjun is called? Are these two of your followers? I'm afraid it's not good to talk about business if there are too many people! ”

"What do I ...... Named Zhuang Yi, Zhuang of the manor, resolute Yi! The two followers have to wait for the money! The beads are here, you can take a look at them first......" Zhuang Yi said, took out a small bag from his arms and put it on the case, and slowly pushed it in front of Lei Niang.

Lei Niang didn't rush to open it, she still looked at Zhuang Yi with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Zhuang Langjun, you don't look like you are from Bohai and Silla, but you brought two Xi people with you...... Such a precious Dongzhu, except for Liaodong, there is no other place, the slave family is very curious, where did Zhuang Langjun come from, and where did these beads come from? ”

"Nonsense! Do you want it or not? If you can't afford it, forget it! "Looking at this slow and logical beauty, although it looks very eye-catching, it makes people feel that they are powerful and unassuming, and Zhuang Yi is a little impatient.

"The little young are like this, I can't hold my breath!" Lei Niang laughed again, and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled. It took a long time to let the shopkeeper standing behind him bring a thick cotton cloth, spread it on the table, opened the small bag in front of him, and poured out all the bags of Dongzhu.

Zhuang Yi stretched out his hand and took out two big ones, and stuffed them into Mei Xiang beside him, the little girl was a little frightened, and immediately smiled.

Lei Niang couldn't help but smile, and said, "Yo...... The little girl looks very smart, no wonder she is so cute, why does she look like a girl? ”

"I want you to take care of ......," Mei Xiang said annoyedly, her little head immediately lowered, and her face was so red that it looked like a monkey's buttocks.

"Those two big ones look so good, if you don't give them to the slave family, don't you really plan to sell them?" Lei Niang looked aggrieved, and said pitifully.

"Hah...... Money is something outside the body, compared to a beauty like Lei Niang, isn't it just a point of Dongzhu, it's really nothing. If you like it, I can find a bigger ...... next time" Zhuang Yi said with a smile, as soon as Mei Xiang heard this, her eyes immediately widened, and she stepped on Zhuang Yi's feet under the case.

"Zhuang Langjun laughed, the slave family is a married woman, but I don't dare to accept your generous gifts!" Lei Niang said this, a pair of blue eyes squinted at Zhuang Yi, and they were about to drip water. Seeing that Zhuang Yi said this, and there was no follow-up, she couldn't help but purse her red lips in some disappointment, gritted her teeth and said: "There are a total of thirty-six Dongzhu, of which seven large ones are twelve yuan each, and each medium one is four dollars, as for the small ones, how about each consistent money?" ”

"I'm okay with the small ones, but the medium ones are too low? Is that really the price of the big one? I've been short of money lately, I have to sell it for a good price, and next time I have this kind of bead, I can come to you......" Zhuang Yi said with a smile, a pair of eyes swept left and right in the slightly plump place in front of Lei Niang.

Lei Niang subconsciously glanced down, immediately sat up straight, raised her chest, raised her chin confidently, and said with a smile: "Okay...... The medium six-guan money, the big one remains the same, and it definitely can't be higher! ”

"Okay...... So be it! But you can still go a little higher here...... I can help you! Zhuang Yi said meaningfully, and smiled evilly

"You little thing! Dare to ridicule the old lady! Go downstairs and wait to get your money! Lei Niang smiled proudly, looked up at him, but didn't care. She elegantly put away the bag of Dongzhu, got up and twisted her waist and left. When he was about to go out, he actually turned around and gave Zhuang Yi a rippling wink.

I'm much older than you in terms of age, and I really think I'm young! Zhuang Yi was secretly a little funny. The shopkeeper also saw it, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and looked back at Zhuang Yi strangely, but didn't say anything.

"Tsk...... This woman is as soft as water, and it looks like it's not simple! Sha Gu smiled, he could see it, how could Zhuang Yi not know.

"Humph! This vixen! Look at the ...... that confuses you both Dongzhu, who is so valuable, was almost deceived by her. Xiaomei furrowed her nose and yelled, twisting her head to the side after speaking.

"What a thing! It's better to hurry up and get the money, so let's go shopping. Zhuang Yi said with a wry smile, but he was muttering in his heart, woman! It's really weird.

The three of them went downstairs, and Zhuang Yi bought a hairpin and a beaded chain in the store for Mei Xiang, which finally made the little girl very happy, and immediately forgot about the unhappiness just now. I asked Mei Xiang to help pick out a few pieces of jewelry that looked good and were not expensive, and asked Mei Xiang to keep them first, planning to give them to Alan later.

The three of them came out with a heavy bag of copper coins, and Zhuang Yi casually threw them into the carriage, took Shi Dali and his party of twenty guards, and continued to walk around.
