170 So do business

Sunlight shines through the windows.

Luan Yi glanced at the sun, yelled badly, and slammed up from the bed, "Cicada, what day is it today?" ”

The half-asleep Diao Chan muttered, "The fourth year of junior high school, what's wrong?" ”

"What? The fourth year of junior high school? Luan Yi secretly scolded himself for being too crazy yesterday with Diao Chan and Qiqiao, and he overslept overly. hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and shouted in a panic: "Cicada, Qiqiao, get up quickly, comb my hair and change clothes." ”

Diao Chan muttered, "Luan Lang, what are you doing when you get up so early." Let's sleep a little longer! ”

"No! Today is the fourth day of the new year. You forget, there is a big market in the palace on the 4th, 14th and 24th of every month! ”

"Ahh Diao Chan was shocked, "How did you forget this?" Qiqiao, get up and help Luan Lang make up. ”

After speaking, the two women got up with a grunt, helped Luan Yi fix her hair and change out of her nightgown.

Luan Yi picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth, wiped his face casually, and ran out in a panic. He had just run out of the house not far away, but he heard Diao Chan calling out to him from behind, "Luan Lang, walk slowly." The goods, the goods haven't been taken yet! ”

Luan Yi looked back. But I almost forgot something important. He tossed back to the house, put the hemp bag in the corner of the house on his back, and kissed Diao Chan on the forehead, "Thank you!" He ran out of the door in a panic, "Luan Fu, prepare the horse, prepare the horse quickly!" ”

Turned over the horse, rode the horse straight to the palace, and did not dismount in front of the palace gate, the guards at the gate saw that it was Luan Yi, and knew that the emperor had ordered Luan Yi to be allowed to ride a horse in the palace, and immediately let him go.

The horse's hooves on the brick floor in the palace are particularly crisp, "click-click......"

When he reached the gate of the harem, Luan Yi pulled the reins violently, stopped the pace of the mount rushing forward, quickly jumped off the horse, threw the reins into the hands of the guards, and ran deep into the harem with the sack on his back.

When we arrived at the palace shopping street, the bazaar had already begun to trade, and it was bustling with activity.

At the entrance, there was a kiln, and at the door stood a row of palace maids with flowers and branches, shaking their handkerchiefs and shouting: "Uncle, come in and play for a while!" ”

The ridiculous thing is that there is only one man in the palace, the emperor, in order not to let the kiln be cold, a bunch of eunuchs act as prostitutes, and hook up with the palace maid who plays the kiln sister in the kiln. In order to make the scene more realistic, the eunuch kept rubbing oil on the palace maid.

On the opposite side of the kiln is a restaurant, in which there are a few people who drink and have fun, there are eunuchs who are busy serving tea and water, and there are palace maids singing and dancing, so it is not lively.

Go deeper through the restaurant, there are shops on both sides of the street, shops or sell rouge gouache, daily necessities, books, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, hairpin, jade pendant, women's underwear, from books, paintings, piano, chess to a variety of services, there are even monkey performers on the street, varied, lively...... But everything sold in the Luoyang market is everything here, which is exactly the same as Chang'an West Market.

There are also small stalls outside the shops, and the eunuchs who play the role of vendors in the stalls shout in a sharp voice, "Yangchun noodles, good Yangchun noodles......"

A eunuch pinched his orchid finger and shouted: "The female red embroidered by himself is cheap!" ”

There are people coming and going on the street, not to mention, there are really a lot of people buying things!

Located in the deepest part of the street, the gold shop is a small two-storey building, and among the many shops, it is the most magnificent, which is the "industry" of the Lingdi in the commercial street.

Luan Yi, as a celebrity next to Emperor Ling, is naturally the closest to Emperor Lingdi in the position where he does business, but unfortunately it is not a shop, but a very simple stall.

He came to his stall with a familiar car, erected the Jinfan sign from under the table, laid a tablecloth on the table, and poured the contents of the bag on the table. "Take a look, take a look!" Look! Uh-huh...... Just look at it! He poked his head into the gold shop, looked around and let out a sigh. OK! Emperor Ling is not in the store, maybe he hasn't arrived in the market yet, and he doesn't know about his lateness.

Fortunately, he was shocked to find that Emperor Ling walked out of the calligraphy and painting shop, and snorted angrily: "What kind of broken shop are you, such a slaughter, such a broken character to sell for 1,000 yuan, what are you a fool?" ”

The shopkeeper eunuch couldn't help kowtowing, "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life." ”

"Don't call me Your Majesty, call me Liu Gongzi!"

"Yes, Liu Gongzi! Liu Gongzi spares his life! ”

"I'm not me, understand? I don't have the right to kill you! "Emperor Ling is very into the play.

"Yes! Be. Only then did the treasurer eunuch relax and explain, "Your Majesty...... No, Liu Gongzi, this painting is Mao's masterpiece, and 1,000 guan is already very cheap! ”

"Mao everyone, which Mao family?" Emperor Han Ling asked.

"It's Mao Xiaoxian!"

The Spirit Emperor asked, "Oh? But is the land only Mao Jue? Young Master's brother? ”

"What a genius!"

Emperor Ling was overjoyed, copied the calligraphy and painting in his hand and looked at it again, "Good words, good words, look at it, how well it is written!" Okay, I've bought it cheaper! ”

"Liu Gongzi, do you look at it and give a price?"

The Spirit Emperor smiled and said, "100 runs!" ”

The eunuch looked aggrieved, "Huh? No, it's too cheap. When we bought it from the West Market, it cost 80 yuan! ”

"I say 100 is 100!"

"100, we really can't sell it! Liu Gongzi, why don't you go to another house! "This eunuch is also very into the play.

However, he entered the play, and Emperor Ling quit. "I want it."

"Not for sale!"

"Huh?" The Spirit Emperor was furious, "You dare to disobey my words? Come, drag this guy down and rebuke him with a rod.50 ”

"Huh?" The eunuch was shocked and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty spare your life, spare your life!" ”

Emperor Ling glared at the eunuch angrily and reprimanded, "What did you say just now?" Don't call me Your Majesty, call me Liu Gongzi! I can't remember that. Add 10 more strokes and 60 rods! ”

"Whoa!" The two people who sold Yangchun noodles patted the flour on their hands, walked up with towels, and dragged the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop on the left and right.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop is completely recalled. Liu Gongzi said that he was Liu Gongzi, but in fact he was still the emperor above 10,000 people! He begged bitterly, but in the end he did not get the forgiveness of Emperor Ling, and was dragged out of the commercial street and beaten for nothing.

The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop was beaten, Emperor Ling was appreciating the calligraphy and painting in his hand with great interest, glanced up in the direction of the gold store, and saw Luan Yi on the stall, so he strode over, and asked from afar: "Brother Ziqixian, I just spent 100 yuan to buy a painting, the seller said that it was Mao Xiaoxian's authentic work, you and Mao Xiaoxian are familiar with each other, help me see if it's true?" ”

Luan Yi took the scroll and glanced at it, and replied, "It is indeed genuine." ”

Emperor Ling was overjoyed. Now there are more than 1,000 pieces of Mao Jue's characters on the market, but he only spent 100 times. "I've earned it!"

Luan Yi pursed his lips, it's strange that such a bargaining method doesn't make money. flattered and said: "Liu Gongzi is talented and intelligent, he is really a genius in business!" ”

"Hahaha, I think so too!"

"Mr. Ziqi, Mr. Ziqi, what new things did you bring today?"

Hearing the childish call, Luan Yi raised his eyes and saw two children, one older and one young, coming out of the bustling crowd. The older one was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one was only four or five years old, led by the maid, and walked towards Luan Yi. "Oh! It's the prince and the prince! The minister had met the two princes. ”

The young Liu Xie blinked his eyes and said cutely: "Didn't my father say it!" There is no distinction between monarchs and ministers in the city. Mr. Ziqi can call the widow Young Master Liu. After speaking, Liu Xie bowed to Emperor Ling again, "The child greets his father!" ”

"Good!" Emperor Ling laughed, and Liu Wei reacted to follow Liu Xie's example to give Emperor Ling and Luan Yi a salute.

I have to admit that although Liu Wei is nearly ten years older than Liu Xie, he is much worse than Liu Xie in terms of treatment and wording. This is also reflected in Luan Yi's contact with them in the past.

"Mr. Ziqi, you haven't told the widow what new items you brought today?" Liu Xie looked at Luan Yi's table curiously. I looked around and found a strange thing. The end of the object is a handle made of pure gold, and the front end connected to the handle is a hollow gold ring, and the gold spring is dotted with several precious stones such as red, blue, and agate. In the center of the gold circle is crystal clear glass.

"What is this? Is it a mirror? Liu Xie was too young to reach that thing, so he pointed and asked.

"This one!" Luan Yi picked up the thing and introduced it with a smile: "This is called a magnifying glass!" After speaking, he took out a book from his arms, opened it and put it on the table, pointed the magnifying glass at the words in the book, and said: "Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu, please look!" ”

The Spirit Emperor took a look at it, startled, tilted his head sideways and looked around the open mirror to look at the page, and then moved his eyes to the magnifying glass, and looked through the magnifying glass again. "Yikes! What kind of immortal method is this, how did the word become so big! ”

He snatched the "magic weapon" from Luan Yi's hand and looked left and right, which was very strange. Facing Luan Yi in the mirror, staring at Luan Yi up and down, "Ah! Aiqing has also become bigger! ”

After Luan Yi saw the refraction of the magnifying glass, Emperor Ling's eyes were as big as the mouth of a bowl, and he almost laughed out loud Emperor Ling looked at it for a while, and then moved the magnifying glass away, "Hey! It's small again! "It was a lot of fun.

"Father, father, look at the child!"

Emperor Ling reluctantly handed the magnifying glass to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie fiddled with it for a while. "What is this? Is it a magic weapon that Mr. Ziqi invited from the immortals? ”

Luan Yi smiled, "Of course not!" This thing has just been made from the factory, and it's a very ordinary thing! ”

"Ordinary?" Liu Wei obviously disagrees with Luan's views.

"Sure, it looks amazing, doesn't it?" Luan Yi raised the corners of his mouth, and then said: "But if you know the principle, you will find that this thing is indeed very ordinary!" As he spoke, he took a hairpin from the table and drew a diagram of the enlarged image of a convex lens on the ground. explained to everyone for a while.

It's a pity that the convex lens imaging, which is the enlightenment content of the physics discipline in the future, contains the optical principles and materialist ideas that are too profound for the Lingdi in the 20th century, and they didn't understand what Luan Yi was talking about after listening to it for a long time.

The Spirit Emperor clicked his lips, "Okay! I get it in general. It's not a fairy weapon! ”

"Obviously!" Luan Yi was sweating profusely, how could he say that he couldn't understand it for a long time.

"But it's a wonderful thing." Emperor Ling took the magnifying glass and touched and looked at it, "How much does Ziqi sell for this thing?" ”

"Hey, Liu Gongzi just needs to pay for the cost. 3 taels of gold! "Luan Yi has three fingers in the depths.

"How can you do 3 taels!" Emperor Ling looked reluctant.

Luan Yi thought to himself, he was going to lose money now. "3 taels is already too cheap!"

"It's just too cheap!" Emperor Ling was serious, "According to me, this thing is worth 30 taels." I gave 30 taels of gold, and Ziqi was willing to sell it. ”

"Sell, of course sell!"
