Jinling City, where hundreds of thousands of people live, is never short of new things, whether it is the rise and fall of officialdom or the relatives of a certain noble family, or the merry and talented son of Guozijian fighting for a famous prostitute in Qinhuaihe, it can become the news that swept the whole city.

Other things such as what new products a century-old brand has launched, why the price of rice, grain, meat and vegetables has risen and dropped recently, what large-scale rituals have been prepared by a certain Taoist temple, what new plays have been made up by the troupe of Wendeqiao, etc., these things are closer to daily life, and naturally they have become a topic of conversation among countless ordinary people in and outside the city.

But in the past half a month, there have been several times more new things happening in Jinling City than in ordinary years, both interesting and sensational are far better than in the past, and the speed and breadth of circulation are also unprecedented.

At present, what makes the whole city sensational is that every day from morning to night full of all kinds of goods shuttle between the Jinchuan Gate and the shogunate mountain, hundreds of shops in the city have benefited from the large purchase of Ziyangguan, at least hundreds of workshops outside the city have been working day and night to manufacture all kinds of tools and articles for Ziyangguan, in order to meet the food, drink and Lazar of nearly 30,000 displaced people in Ziyangguan who have been relieved by work, Jincheng merchants have flocked to it, making Jinling City's oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, chicken, duck, and fish meat rise faster than the price of grain.

In the past half a month, no one has talked about the news that the northern Tatars have plundered most of the northern Zhili with a full load, and no one cares about the vast earthquake in the nearby lake, and all the disasters that occur under the great tomorrow seem to have nothing to do with everyone in Jinling City.

From the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing to the humble peddlers and pawns, most of the talk is about the novelty and luxury sold in the shops under the Yingjia General Account, and many knowledgeable people have been arguing about such issues:

The two hours on the Western table clock and the pocket watch represent an hour of my Ming Dynasty, which one is convenient? Which is more accurate? Fu does not conform to the five virtues of heaven?

Whether it is a lady who is raised in the depths of the boudoir, or a sister who laughs in the hook bar, she is now proud to have a dressing mirror that can show the hair on her face; The talents in the major academies and the national prison, the sons and young masters of the noble and rich gentry's families, and even the adults in the officialdom, if there is no half of the shiny bracelet exposed outside the placket, they are embarrassed to go to the restaurant for a banquet, and they are even more embarrassed to go to the flower boat**, if they don't show half of the bracelet and haven't seen the embroidered version of "Golden Vase Plum" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it will be even worse, don't go out if you have nothing to do, otherwise what awaits you will be a series of disdainful glances and merciless ridicule.

Zhang Guizhi, the shopkeeper of the famous time-honored antique shop "Cui Wei Zhai", is one of the countless unlucky eggs who were despised and ridiculed, he finally gritted his teeth and endured the shame, and asked someone to go through the back door to get back a beautiful Western pocket watch from the Ying family firm "Bao Yue Xuan", but before he hung the glittering bracelet, he was snatched away by his own little marquis.

Zhang Da shopkeeper was distressed and made amends, and immediately sent a strong shop guy, carrying forty taels of silver to rush to the Ying family business name "Mo Lin Zhai", regardless of the scolding of the major academies and Guozi Jian scholars to the counter, and the result was as late as the crowded readers, if it wasn't for the occasional learning that there was a poor sour show who sold calligraphy and painting for a living, he started early, and seven days ago he was lucky enough to buy two sets of embroidered versions of "Golden Vase Plum" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhang Da shopkeeper immediately took out sixty taels of silver and went out in person. I bought back a set of "Golden Vase Plum" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at a high price from the reluctant poor sour Xiucai, I'm afraid I'm really embarrassed to go out to meet people.

The two sets of embroidered statues that caused a sensation in the city were bought back, but Zhang Da shopkeeper is afraid that it is really unfavorable to commit Tai Sui, and just turned over to the wonderful picture on the head of Pan Jinlian who threw a bamboo from the upper floor and smashed the head of the Ximen official, he was pulled out of the door by the chief dog-legged young master of the Yan family and dragged into the carriage, took the greeting post and the gilded invitation, and rushed to the Ziyang Temple under the shogunate mountain to build a large number of buildings.

The two finally came to the dusty construction site in front of Ziyang Temple, and Corporal Lixian asked three people's leaders and two young Taoist priests in succession, only to learn that Daoist Xiao Zhu happened to come back from the city to run errands.

The excited two immediately rushed to the direction of the small bridge where Xiao Zhu Daochang was, and just halfway through, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper Zhang Da was frustrated to find that the luxury four-wheeled carriage of the Yingjia firm was actually parked at the small bridge by the stream, in order not to expose his whereabouts and mess up the little marquis's strategy, the two could only retreat unwillingly, planning to come as soon as the city gate opened tomorrow.

But what happened in the next few days was too strange, which not only made the shopkeeper Zhang Da and the young master of the Yan family anxious, but also made his little marquis very angry:

Every time I almost found Xiao Zhu Daoist, I was always a step slower, almost just arrived at Zizhu Garden, the busy Xiao Zhu Taoist had returned to the Ziyang Temple under the Shogunate Mountain, Zhang Da Shopkeeper and the young master of the Yan family worked tirelessly to rush to Ziyang Temple, but Xiao Zhu Daoist returned to the Zizhu Garden in the city, and no one paid attention to the carriage staggered on the way, as if God was deliberately embarrassed.

Yesterday afternoon, I finally got an urgent report, Xiao Zhu Daochang's four-wheeled carriage with a gossip flag on the roof of the car entered the city again, Zhang Da shopkeeper and the young master of the Yan family immediately happily took the carriage to the intersection that must be passed, because of the traffic jam on the road, it was half a step late, and I watched the four-wheeled carriage with the gossip flag on the roof of the car drive into the courtyard gate of the third family of the Ying family.

The young master of the Yan family, who could no longer tolerate it, had a temper coming, and ordered the coachman to park the car diagonally opposite the three families of Ying Lao, and grabbed the shopkeeper Zhang Da who sighed and waited together, and waited until late at night, and still didn't see anyone come out, and the young master of the Yan family and the shopkeeper Zhang Da behind the hungry belly sticker speculated that Xiao Zhu Daochang was probably drunk, and he must stay overnight tonight to stay at the third family of the old man to prostitute the girl, and finally decided to go home temporarily to eat something to catch his breath, and come early tomorrow morning to block the door.

The two had just walked for less than half an hour, when a four-wheeled carriage with a gossip flag came out and drove unhurriedly to the Zizhu Garden in the west of the city under the light of the stars and moon.

Early the next morning, Zhang Da shopkeeper and the young master of the Yan family really blocked the door of Ying Laosan's house and waited, left and right but did not see Xiao Zhu Daochang's carriage come out, anxious Zhang Da shopkeeper took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the coachman to inquire, and soon learned that Xiao Zhu Daochang had returned to Zizhu Garden late last night, and it was estimated that he was still inspecting the construction of the garden and did not leave.

The shopkeeper Zhang and the young master of the Yan family immediately drove to Zizhu Garden, and after identifying themselves, they successfully passed through the doorman, and came to the East Cross Courtyard, which was full of children, and finally saw the familiar carriage parked in the door.

The two hurriedly tidied up their clothes, got out of the car with the invitation card, and happened to meet an old acquaintance who came out of the courtyard at the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Xunting, the director of the Ministry of Industry, and found that Zhao Xunting also came to find Xiao Zhu Daoist, Xiao Zhu's special car was still there, but people didn't know where to go.

Zhang Da Shopkeeper, the Young Master of the Yan Family, Zhao Xunting and everyone else never dreamed that the little Daoist Zhu they were looking for was in the three-story European-style villa at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, holding the Song Da Beauty after the passion to admire the five exquisite porcelain on the carpet.

"There are also two bronze pieces that were given by others that are too conspicuous, I really don't dare to bring them back, otherwise you will be even more surprised." Zhu Daolin, who was bare-chested and strong, hugged Song Damei's small waist from behind.

Song Da Mei turned her swan-like neck and looked at her beloved man: "Bronze Gui? If it was before the Western Han Dynasty, it would definitely be a national treasure. ”

Zhu Daolin kissed her: "I also saw it, and I knew that the word 'Gui' is pronounced as 'ghost', which is a necessary utensil for the princes before the Han Dynasty to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, next time, bring it back to you next time." ”

Song Da Meiren twisted her graceful body, changed to a face-to-face posture and hugged Zhu Daolin's neck: "Today is the winter solstice you promised to come back, I didn't see you come back yesterday, I thought you wouldn't come back, which mountain are you still wandering, I didn't expect you to give me a surprise before dawn, I love you to death!" ”

"Then love."

Zhu Daolin, who was unabated, picked up the beauty and walked to the big bed, put the hot and silky Song Damei on the messy brocade quilt, and was about to get up and down when Song Damei suddenly mentioned something:

"Daolin, I didn't ask you, I took over the Tangshan Film and Television Base, a key cultural construction project at the provincial and municipal levels, with a total investment of nine billion, I put the three hundred million you lent me in, and gave you a chairman's position, I personally served as the executive director and general manager, and included in the charter to report to the ministries and provincial and municipal authorities, recommending you to compete for this year's top ten young entrepreneurs in the province, I hope you don't blame me."

Zhu Daolin was stunned: "Money is a trivial matter, anyway, I won't need it for a while, it's best for you to help me invest, but I haven't even worked as a department manager, how can I be competent?" It's better to be a shareholder and feel more comfortable. ”

Song Shaojun excitedly pulled Zhu Daolin to himself: "Thank you Daolin, thank you for your magnanimity and trust!" You don't know how nervous and scared I was before I said it, and I was even worried that you would turn around and leave in a fit of anger...... Don't be stupid, love me. ”

"Wait."

Zhu Daolin lay down beside her lightly and hugged her in his arms: "Is it that Lu Tao is looking for trouble for me, you are worried that I will not be able to withstand a humble villain, so you want to try to promote me to the top position, let me get ahead, and have a feared reputation and status?" ”

Song Shaojun held Zhu Daolin's face in admiration: "I am so lucky to see that the person I love is so good and so keen." ”

Zhu Daolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and gratitude arose: "Shaojun, thank you!" I listen to you, but I'm worried that I don't have time to participate in the affairs of the film and television base, and everything will have to work hard for you. You know my character and habits, my religion, and so many things that I need to do, so ...... I can only go with the flow, please understand! ”

"It doesn't matter, who made you my favorite person, but on New Year's Day, you have to go to the Tangshan base with me to show up and cut the ribbon, okay?" Song Shaojun asked gently.

Zhu Daolin hesitated for a moment: "Who are you attending?" ”

Song Shaojun, who was excited, crossed his fingers and began to count: "Provincial and municipal leaders will definitely attend, and the cultural propaganda and radio and television departments of the capital will also come, maybe my grandfather will also come to see how I can build the Tangshan base, which currently has nothing, into the best film and television base beyond Hengdian." ”

"There is also the film and television star Sun Li you know, as well as more than a dozen male and female stars who have become famous in recent years, many of them are friends introduced by Sun Li, and film and television directors will also come to so few, after all, many of them know me in the capital, don't worry, if you don't like to socialize, you will leave after the ceremony, who can do anything to you?"

"Holy! That's too grand, isn't it? Such a large-scale ceremony will definitely be on TV, and if my parents see it, I really don't know how to explain it. Zhu Daolin was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? Don't your aunts know how you're doing? Song Shaojun was quite surprised.

Zhu Daolin turned around and lay on his back, sighing helplessly: "I'm afraid of scaring them, so I've been hiding it, alas! ”

"Don't sigh, there will be a way, lie down and close your eyes...... You've always spoiled me and served me, it's time for me to serve you......"
