Wei Youde has been in the capital for more than half a month, and he is familiar with most of the capital.

Most of the places he went to were in the northern and eastern parts of the capital, where dignitaries lived, and where commerce flourished.

Wei Youde visited the capital for half a month, and touched the situation in the homes of some dignitaries, and also knew how many young ladies and young masters there were in those people's families, and they all remembered them one by one, and they would not make mistakes when they were useful in the future.

When he went out today, Wei Youde asked people to bring a box of building blocks to see if they could meet a gold owner who could sell the first box of building blocks after coming to the capital.

At this time, the carriage that Wei Youde was looking at had the emblem of the princess's mansion on it, and he followed it far away for half of Suzaku Street, during which the carriage stopped five times, either in front of the jewelry shop or outside the jade jewelry shop.

At this time, a young man came out of the shop, the man was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, wearing a hollow purple and gold crown, his face was very handsome, and he was turning his head around looking for something.

"What is this boy looking for?"

Wei Youde took Deng Jie and Wang Qiang and walked slowly across the road, and Deng Jie and Wang Qiang followed him closely behind him.

The man saw three people coming over, one of them was wearing a long stone blue suit, and he looked a little bookish, and the two behind him looked like attendants and guards.

The man looked Wei Youde up and down, the guards around him went up to stop them, the man raised the folding fan in his hand and tapped it left and right, making a gesture to get out of the way, and the guards saw it and retreated to the side.

"Who are you?"

Wei Youde hugged his fist and arched his hand at him, and said: "In Xiawei Youde, he is a small steward of the Meiji grocery store on Chang'an Street in the east of the city. ”

"Do you know who I am?"

The man shook the folding fan twice, with a slight smile on his face, and looked at the person opposite.

Wei Youde hesitated for a moment, looked at him again, and then said, "You should be the second master of the princess's mansion, right?" ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand at him again.

Second Master Chang smiled, "Your eyesight is good." He straightened his face again and said, "How do you know I'm looking for something?" ”

Wei Youde said bluntly: "I saw that the second master entered a few shops, but they all came out empty-handed, I don't think I found anything to love, right?" ”

"You're right." Second Master Chang shook the folding fan twice, "The day after tomorrow is my cousin's birthday, I wanted to give her a rare thing, but I didn't find a ,...... that could catch my eyes," he said.

Wei Youde said: "There is a thing in my hand, or it can be called a rare thing. ”

"Oh."

Second Master Chang looked at him meaningfully, then looked at Deng Jie and Wang Qiang, and finally looked at the small box that Wang Qiang was holding.

"That's not what you're talking about, is it?" He said.

"Yes."

"Open it and take a look."

Wei Youde looked around and said, "It's not suitable here, second master, please follow me to the teahouse in front to sit for a while, how about it?" ”

Second Master Chang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and he was curious about the contents of the small box, so he agreed to go to the teahouse to sit.

He has been out for a long time, and he just went to drink tea and rest.

Entering the teahouse, Wei Youde asked for a private room, and instructed the guys to serve good tea and snacks, Deng Jie and Wang Qiang, as well as a few guards from Chang Erye, also went upstairs together.

After waiting for the tea, Second Master Chang asked Wei Youde's name again, and said, "What do you sell in your shop?" ”

"Everything, satin cloth, tea, spices, pearls and gemstones,......" Wei Youde sat down opposite and said, "There are also potted flowers, books, paper and other things." ”

"It's quite a good list of things to sell."

"There are also incomplete ones."

"Oh! How so? ”

"Live chickens, live ducks, and fresh fish, we don't sell them in our shop." Wei Youde said.

Second Master Chang was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

The guy brought me tea and a few delicious snacks.

Second Master Chang drank half a bowl of tea and ate two pieces of dim sum, and Fang asked Wei Youde what he wanted him to see.

Wei Youde pushed the tea and fruit plate aside, took out a handkerchief and wiped it on the table, Chang Erye looked at his movements meaningfully, and became more and more curious about what was in the box.

Wei Youde took the box from Wang Qiang's hand, opened the small silver lock on it, opened the lid, and took out more than a dozen building blocks from it, "This is called building blocks." He said.

Chang Erye picked up two pieces and looked at them over and over, they were two inches in size, with grooves of mortise and tenon joints, and exquisite patterns were carved on them, "What is this and what is it for?" ”

"One toy for everyone,......"

Wei Youde didn't explain too much, he put together those wooden pieces with his hands, and after a short while, he put together a two-story house.

Chang Erye looked at those small wooden blocks, and put them together one by one in Wei Youde's hands to form a small house, with doors and windows, and three puppets to put in.

"This is a novelty!" He also learned to put together a room in a decent way.

Second Master Chang looked at the house he had spelled out, took two more pieces in his hand, and said, "How do you sell this, how much silver?" ”

Wei Youde said calmly: "If you say ten taels or eight taels, you look down on you, and you are sorry for our host." You are embarrassed to give it away even if you buy it back, you say I am right? ”

Second Master Chang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was reasonable, how could he not take a few taels of silver to give gifts, it would be too embarrassing for them to lose face in the princess's mansion.

"Then you can tell me a price?" He said.

"One hundred and sixty taels."

Wei Youde thought that the eldest lady asked him to sell eighty-eight taels of silver, but he couldn't ask for eighty-eight taels of silver, so what if people bargained? Then he didn't even have a little room to maneuver.

Wang Qiang's eyes almost fell off, such a pile of broken wood will be sold for more than a hundred silver, how can people ask for it!

Deng Jie was calm and composed, standing behind Wei Youde as solemn and majestic as a green pine.

Second Master Chang looked at the exquisitely crafted building blocks on the table, and then looked at Wei Youde's calm face, "It's a little expensive." But......" he paused, and then added, "I'm still okay with the price,......"

Wei Youde saw that he did not raise any objections to the price, so he praised his building blocks, from the choice of wood to the complexity of the workmanship, and listed them one by one.

"Okay, I'll buy it."

Two days later, Chang Erye went to the shop to look for Wei Youde, but he didn't find it, and he heard the guy in the shop say that Wei Youde went out with two people early in the morning, but he didn't know where to go.

He told the guy that he wanted to buy the brick, but the guy listened and didn't know what he was talking about. He had never heard of any building blocks, let alone seen what they looked like.
