After visiting the East Market, Ye Chang went to the West Market again.

Xishi is a revisit to his old place, and after a year, he can't help but sigh when he returns here.

With the exception of Suzaku Street, the one that is completely paved with cement is the West Market, which makes the West Market clean. The West Market is also more lively than the East Market, and I feel that there are half as many customers as it travels.

The same is true of several glass shops, where people come and go, and those who stop do not know how many. Think about it, because of the cement paving, the west market is much cleaner than the east market, especially in this long dry and rainless midsummer, after washing the streets once there is no dust, naturally attract more customers.

This is also the reason why Wang Yuanbao provoked the city competition, if not, his Liuli shop in the East City would not be able to compete with the West Market at all.

The guys in the store were equally enthusiastic, and it could be seen that they were competing with Wang Yuanbao with a sigh of relief.

With the glazed shop, there are also all kinds of treasured ornaments, after turning these shops, Ye Chang pondered how to dismantle Wang Yuanbao's platform, and turned here by the way.

"This crystal is a treasure of the Western Regions, worth a thousand gold, the lady really has a good eye, and she sees this at a glance" He just came in, and he heard the guys in the store trying their best to sell their goods to people.

Ye Chang followed the prestige, and saw a woman with her back to him, looking at the treasures on the antique shelf.

The antique shelves are full of crystal treasures, which have been polished by skilled craftsmen to reflect the crystal clear light in the light of the candles. The woman picked it up and played with it one by one, and put it down one by one, and couldn't put it down.

"Little lady, look, this crystal plate, if the grapes are in it, it is really crystal clear, this plate is only sold for eighty times, if the little lady wants, we can also get ten percent off......"

Hearing that guy sell like this, Ye Chang couldn't help but laugh, shopping guides are a virtue in any era.

He took two steps forward and looked at the crystal objects on the antique shelves, most of which were decorative ornaments.

However, a crystal ball on top attracted Ye Chang's attention.

The crystal ball was polished very smooth, it looked round and smooth, and the crystal was of very good quality, almost completely transparent. It was the size of a fist and was placed in a brocade box, like a giant pearl of the night.

Ye Chang's heart suddenly moved, and he was about to take it to watch, when an old woman entered the shop and opened her mouth and said, "Xianniang, why did you come here?"

The woman who was playing with a crystal plate in her hand heard this cry, trembled in fright, and turned around.

But Ye Chang was moving forward, very close to her, and when she turned around, her arm hit Ye Chang's elbow. Ye Chang didn't have anything, the woman was delicate and weak, and her hand couldn't help but let go, and then the crystal plate in her hand fell to the ground

With the sound of bells, the crystal disc jumped on the ground a few times in a row, turned a few times, and then stopped.

The floor of this shop, like most shops in the West Market, is paved with cement

The crystal disc fell on the cement and was not completely shattered, which is already a fluke, but it is also impossible to be completely undamaged. Not only did there be a visible crack underneath, but it also shattered a corner.

Even if you hire a craftsman, this crystal plate is also wasted.

The girl's face was pale and bloodless, and the shopkeeper was stunned.

Ye Chang was also stunned, he didn't expect such a situation.

"Compensate, little lady, you can't go" The guy was the first to react, he went over to block the door, if it wasn't for the little lady is a woman, I'm afraid I would have to reach out and hug her.

"How...... How so? The old woman who rushed in muttered, and then became furious: "You little, take you to the West Market, don't look at the silk and satin, but come to see what treasures, now it's good, it's good now."

Ye Chang only looked at the girl carefully at this time, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes were beaded, and her jade face was pale, obviously she was frightened.

However, in the old woman's scolding, although she was in tears, she could not see the depression at all, but straightened her waist, and after the old woman finished scolding, she bowed to the old woman and said: "A certain grandmother, is ten years old, and is willing to use this body to provide for the elderly, and ask the grandmother to write off this account for a certain person." ”

She calls herself "so-and-so", but she is not a "slave" commonly used by ordinary women, and listening to her words again, Ye Chang's heart moved: This woman is quite fierce

Falling off the crystal plate, the old woman is responsible, this woman is responsible, and Ye Chang is also responsible, but this woman didn't say a word, so she took all the responsibility, and didn't care about Ye Chang at all, and her character can be seen.

Ye Chang is not the kind of person who takes advantage of it, and for him now, eighty yuan is not too much of an expense.

"Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to combine the crystal plate on the ground and the crystal ball on the top?" Ye Chang opened his mouth and said, "Mao'er, you paid this account for me." ”

Naturally, he didn't bring so much money with him, this is the West Market, which is Jia Mao'er's base camp, so he asked Jia Mao'er to pay the bill. The shopkeeper knew Jia Mao'er, and when he saw him nodding, he said with a smile: "Since Jia Lang's friend wants to buy it, the two pieces are combined, 200,000 yuan." ”

The price is fair, Ye Chang nodded, but at this moment, the girl over there stepped forward to salute Ye Chang: "This thing was broken by a certain place, how can it be compensated by Lang Jun, Lang Jun is kind, and a certain heart has received ......"

"You lady, don't know what to do, since Ye Langjun said it, then I will pay for it. In the whole Chang'an City, I don't know how many people are eager to pay for Ye Langjun."

Jia Mao'er was a little impatient, and opened her mouth to block the girl, but the girl was still holding on, and the old woman next to her couldn't wait to come over, and took her hand hard and pulled her aside.

"Why did Mother pull so-and-so?" The girl asked.

"Over there, Jia Lang, the big director of the ball market, Jia Lang is all flattering, he must be a great character" The old woman bit her ear and said: "And this person is a young man, romantic and golden, daughter, you should come up with means." If it can be done, the daughter will also have a fall in this life, she is an old body, and she has something to rely on."

The girl raised her eyes and looked at Ye Chang, and her heart was also slightly moved.

She was originally a non-conscional child, and was adopted by an old woman since she was a child, the purpose of which was to recruit prodigal children when she grew up and obtain a reward for her retirement. Since it is to be sold after all, how can it be sold to those vulgar and fat wealthy businessmen, how can it be sold to this handsome young man?

But seeing that the young man in front of her couldn't stop looking at herself, just looking at the crystal ball, her heart suddenly became cold.

Shaking her head slightly, she stepped forward again and saluted Ye Chang: "That is the case, Lang Jun's grace of relieving Ran, a certain person must be remembered deeply, I don't know Lang Jun's surname, who is the person, there will be something to repay in the future." ”

Ye Chang was not interested in this girl's return, he waved his hand: "There is no need to be like this, if it weren't for me, the crystal plate would not have fallen, and the lady doesn't owe me anything." ”

He insisted on not saying his identity, and the girl was helpless, so when she went out, she saw a few companions guarding the door, presumably the entourage of Jia Mao'er in the house. The girl's heart moved, and she pulled the old woman and muttered a few times, the old woman had originally instigated her to hook up with Ye Chang, the Kaizi, and stepped forward happily at the moment to give a gift to those companions.

"A few Lang gentlemen are invited."

"What's the matter with Grandma?"

The old woman saw that the little Langjun who followed Jia Langjun was a little familiar, as if she was a distant relative of the old woman, but she didn't dare to take the liberty of recognizing her. Therefore, I asked a few people, the name of this little Langjun is from the hometown, please do not hesitate to tell me. ”

"Ha Luha, grandma, you can joke, if your family has relatives like Xiao Langjun, then it will be developed." When Bandang heard what she said, he couldn't help but laugh.

"My relative's surname is Ye ......," the old woman said quietly.

Several companions stopped smiling for a moment, and looked at each other: "Could it be true, Xiao Langjun's real surname is Ye, and he is a martial artist..."

"Ah, but that Ye Shiyi Lang who has an infinitely good sunset?" Before the old woman could react, the girl over there asked in surprise.

If Ye Chang was only a second- or third-rate person in Chang'an City when he wrote this sentence last year, but after the Son of Heaven gave him money to return to his hometown and the ball game became popular, Ye Chang's reputation has reached the first-class.

It was a boudoir woman like the girl, and she had also heard of Ye Chang's reputation, but she didn't expect that this Xiuwu Ye Shiyi Lang would be so young.

He looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old

"It's him, it turns out that the little lady has also heard of his reputation?" Those who have good things among them said: "I just don't know if it's a relative of the little lady, if it is, I just need Ye Shiyi Lang to dial it, and make money every day, what's so difficult?" ”

"It turned out to be him" The old woman's dim eyes flashed with a greedy gaze, the matter of making money every day in the football match is not a secret in Chang'an City, people in the market, those with a little vision, can see the huge interests behind it.

She returned to the girl's side and nagged that she wanted to continue to instigate the girl to hook up with Ye Chang, but the girl just left in silence.

After they left, Ye Chang walked out with a box containing a crystal ball, and walked around again, feeling that he had seen almost enough, and then returned to Hu Ji Liulizhai.

Hu Ji Liulizhai is the wealthy businessman who led the competition with Wang Yuanbao in the West Market, and in order to prepare for the competition, the courtyard inside is busy. When Ye Chang turned back this time, he saw an old man with a long beard sitting on the side of the Hu bed, watching many craftsmen busy here.

"Hu Dongjia." Jia Mao'er was familiar, recognized this person, and greeted him.

The long-bearded old man got up to return the salute, but there was a hidden worry in his eyes: "Why is Director Jia here, there is chaos in the shop today, and the greeting is not good, please forgive Director Jia." ”

"I heard about the Sai City, and I don't know what the situation is, looking at Hu Dongjia's expression, it can't be ......"

"Don't mention it, I heard that Wang Yuanbao has special means over there, and this time in the market, I'm afraid there will be more losses and fewer wins." The Hu Dongjia smiled bitterly: "The Wang family's glazed shop, the business has been getting bigger and bigger in the past few decades, it is in the palace, and it is rumored that he also orders from his side." Our companies are getting smaller and smaller, and finally the West Market has been renovated, and the business has improved, so he proposed that the Saishi really doesn't give us a way to live. ”

Hearing the complaints of this pot-bellied wealthy businessman, Ye Chang and Jia Mao'er only believed half of it.

Chang'an City is a giant city with a population of more than one million, and there are many rich and noble families in the city, and the wealth of the world gathers here. Wang Yuanbao monopolized seventy percent of the glaze market in Chang'an City, and the remaining thirty percent was enough for the rest to sustain themselves.

"This city competition, I don't know how to distribute, are you Hu Ji building a lottery?" Jia Mao'er asked.

"Exactly, isn't this busy?"

The so-called color building is at the intersection of Suzaku Street, erecting a temporary wooden building similar to the square gate, decorated with flowers, trees and satin, the more colorful it is, the more it can attract everyone's attention. Generally speaking, which side of the color building is more attractive, which side will have higher morale.

"What about Doucai Tower?"

"Naturally, it's a competitive song, when it comes to this, it's a little annoying, the East Market is closer to Pingkangfang, let Wang Yuanbao strike first, the famous tricks in the workshop are actually confused by Wang Yuanbao, and no one is willing to play for my West Market."

Because Pingkangfang is close to the Shangshu Provincial Government Office in the east of the imperial city, it is a meeting place for the Jinju Yuan (Beijing Office) from all over the country, and the officials who are rushing to take the examination and the officials to be elected mostly rent houses in this vicinity, so it has become a place where the families of the tricks gather. According to Ye Chang's understanding, this is the largest red light district in Chang'an City, and the courtesans in Chang'an City are also the best in Pingkangfang.

"This one, it seems that it is bound to lose, the situation is not good." Jia Mao'er snorted: "What about again?" ”

"Hanging treasures compete with each other, our two families, each with a glass treasure, hanging under the color building, for people to enjoy."

This is Doubao, that is, the real commodity of both sides. Hanging under the color building, only the most outstanding, there are many glass treasures, will be set on the antique shelves on both sides of the road, by a special person to take care of, for visitors to enjoy.

Ye Chang listened with relish, it was the first time he had come into contact with such competition between merchants in ancient times, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, but as long as he thought about it, he could know the excitement of the city competition.

"Director Jia, you are from our West Market, if you have any clever plans, you must pull the old decay a hand." That Hu Dongjia knew that Jia Mao'er would not come here without a purpose, so he got up and saluted him again: "If you get the help of Jia, I will wait for several glass shops in the West Market, I am really grateful."

"I begged the wrong person." Jia Mao'er said with a smile: "If I had any clever plan, I would have come up with it a long time ago, and I would have fallen back then?" ”
