Chapter 143: Rumors of the West Market

Wei Shaoguang broke a worried heart when he came out of the right minister's mansion, and Jiang Qiqi rarely broke a fine cloud brush.

is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, and acquaintances do not always have to meet.

In the evening of this day, Wei Shaoguang had just walked into the Zhuangyuan Mansion and had not even had time to change his clothes, when Chang'an trotted over to her and told her that a young man who claimed to be a three-life gold shop came to her.

Shaoguang stood on the way to Wisteria Xiaozhu, pinched the cuffs in his hand and instructed Chang'an, "That's Liu Yi, you take him to the flower hall and wait for me, oh, remember to have a good cup of tea, he is an important guest of mine." ”

Chang'an received the order and quickly turned around and left.

Wei Shaoguang looked at his back running away, thinking about other things in her heart, she felt that she couldn't always bother He Yongzhi, one day he was going to return to the team, and she might be able to train a capable housekeeper.

Well, after thinking about it, she still needs a maid by her side, after all, it would be good if there was a lovely maid by her side at this time during the female menstrual period, she has survived alone in the past few years, although Xia Houming knows his identity as a woman, but he is still a bachelor, so don't expect him too much.

Alas! The finch is not bad, but it's a pity that she ran away, and I don't know if I'm alive or dead now.

Wei Shaoguang sighed, then walked back to Wisteria Xiaozhu quickly, and changed the clothes that smelled of blood on his body.

By the time she changed her clothes and returned to the flower hall, it was already dark, and as soon as she walked in, she saw Liu Yi sitting on a chair waiting for her.

This child is only thirteen years old this year, and his tall height is okay, although his temper is not good, but he is a very fleshy boy.

"Chang'an, you go to the kitchen and let them arrange the meal, I'll invite that little brother to dinner tonight."

"Yes, sir."

Chang'an walked out of the flower hall again, and walked over and sat next to Liu Yi by himself.

"What did you come to me for today?"

Liu Yi was still a little afraid when he knew that Wei Shaoguang's identity was the famous champion this year, but now he saw Shaoguang sitting next to him and not sitting on that high position, and the tension in his heart suddenly dissipated a little.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, handed over a pitch-black box, and said thoughtfully, "My lord, this is what you asked our shop to make a few days ago, we made one of them first, and I would like to take a look at it, and if you are satisfied with it, we will continue to make a few other things according to this standard." ”

"Oh? So fast? ”

Wei Shaoguang had an easy-going attitude, there was no official arrogance at all, just like when he first saw her the day before yesterday, he took the box handed to her by Liu Yi, opened the lid to reveal a delicate gold carved hollow sachet inside, Shaoguang took out the small gold sachet with his fingers, put down the box, and then opened the sachet with both hands.

"Not bad! I only gave you a drawing, and I was amazed that you were able to make a latch from the drawing!"

Wei Shaoguang carefully looked at the lock at the junction of the two halves of the sachet and couldn't help but exclaim, you must know that she was very worried in advance, afraid that she would not be able to make such a relatively fine handicraft with today's technology, who knew that this Sansheng gold shop was so unexpected!

Liu Yi only had a little confidence at this time, he said to Shaoguang with certainty, "My grandfather has made a lifetime of gold craftsmanship, although the drawings you give are not common, but my grandfather still has a little experience, so he hurried to make it, as long as you are satisfied." ”

"Well, I'm very satisfied with this little golden sachet, but this object is relatively small, and your grandfather is also old, go back and tell your grandfather that you don't need to worry, as long as it is finished before December."

Wei Shaoguang held the small golden sachet in his hand to the middle of the small table between the two chairs, pointed at it and said to Liu Yi, "There is no problem with this lock, and the degree of bite is also very fine, but the hollow carving on it should pay attention to a bit, after completion, it is used to hold spice balls, I hope it can be more fine, and there is about carving, I will give a few more drawings and make the rest of the sachets according to the above patterns, how about it?" ”

After speaking, Shaoguang took out a few drawings from his sleeve and handed them to Liu Yi, "Put it away, don't spread it, after all, this was drawn by me myself, and it took a lot of thought." ”

Shake the light smiled easily and handed over the drawings to Liu Yi, "Some patterns need to be painted, which will bother you to do a few more processes, if you don't have enough money, bring someone to see me, and I will add it to you as appropriate." ”

Shaoguang stared at Liu Yi's eyes, smiled and whispered the last few words, "In addition, there are a few drawings on the things please help me make them in silver, I'll pick them up after a while, understand?" ”

Liu Yi trembled when he heard the last words of Shaoguang, and knew that this was something that Shaoguang didn't want others to know, so he responded softly.

Everything was explained, and Chang'an finally passed the meal, and sat on the chair and asked about other things.

"Liu Yi, do you know where there is a sale in this capital, uh, no, where can I find a handmaid? There is a real need for some handmaidens in this house, you see that almost all of them are men here, alas!"

Liu Yi was amused by Shaoguang's tone, he thought for a while and said to Shaoguang, "My lord, I do know where there is a doorway to find some good maidservants. ”

Wei Shaoguang originally asked casually, and he didn't expect this thirteen-year-old hairy boy to answer this somewhat dark question at all.

"Oh? You say come and hear it. ”

"It's not surprising that adults don't know anything when they first come to the capital, do you know that there are two cities in the capital?"

"I know this, isn't it?"

"Presumably adults should have heard of it, the East Market is lively and the West Market is desolate, in fact, because the West Market is mostly a place for butlers to buy and sell horses and exchange grain, in fact, the night here is the most important, the West Market is the only place in the entire capital where it is allowed to buy and sell servants, adults should have heard of it, about the previous dynasty's slave breeding customs, this West Market is a mutation of this atmosphere, you may be able to find some sensible and obedient maids there."

Liu Yi was talking to Shaoguang, and Chang'an stepped forward to reply, but he heard the conversation between Liu Yi and Shaoguang, and couldn't help but interject.

"My lord, please forgive me for interjecting a little."

"Huh?" Shaoguang and Liu Yi turned their heads to look at Chang'an together, "What's wrong?" You say. ”

"That's right, the little one has also heard about the rumors in this West Market, and after hearing the words of this Liu Gongzi, I can't help but want to add a little."

"Well, let's talk about it."

"Yes."

Chang'an stood beside Shaoguang and spoke respectfully, "There is a big auction venue in the West Market, where it was originally a tile shop, and then it was closed in a recession, and now it is the power of the wealthy Zheng family, and they have become the masters of the lowly slave market. ”

"My lord, if you are interested in there, the little one can help you disguise it and take you over tomorrow night to have a look."

"I didn't expect Chang'an to understand these things." After listening to Chang'an's words, Shaoguang smiled and commented on him.

That Chang'an is a thoughtful person, and he is very good at following the trend, and he should say in response to the shaking light at the moment, "My lord, you are laughing, the little one has not been in Beijing for so long, and it is not difficult to find out about some slightly hidden things, right?" ”

"That's what you said." Shaoguang stood up from his chair and rubbed his shoulders as if he was a little tired, "Have you already set up the meal?" ”

"It's already already, my lord, Liu Gongzi, the two of you are here, please."

"Hmm." Shaoguang looked at Liu Yi, "It's time for dinner, you can go back after eating here." ”

How could Liu Yi refuse? So he accepted the invitation of Shaoguang, and sat down at a table with this champion who acted differently and finished a meal.

After that, Shaoguang didn't keep him longer, and arranged for someone to send him out of the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

The day was spent in such a thrilling way, shaking the light and tirelessly moving back to the wisteria building step by step.

There are less than six days left before she officially enters the court, and she still has some things to deal with, His Majesty is willing to give her a few days of leave, it is really not good, although after entering the court, although the Hanlin Academy does not need to go to the court or anything for the time being, but ...... There are many revisions, and if His Majesty takes a fancy to her this year and asks her to follow His Majesty to the court to record the emperor's words and deeds, it will not be very wonderful......

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, his identity as a three-yuan and first was too eye-catching, so it was not impossible to become a close minister by His Majesty's side.

She hesitated and speculated for a moment, and secretly planned what she was about to reach out to investigate. On the other side, Jiang Qiqi pondered over the vase of bouquets on the table, and after an afternoon of silence, he said to Bi Ruo, "I want to be a florist." ”

Bi Ruo squirted out all the tea in one gulp.

"Master! What did you just say?!"

Jiang Qiqi seemed to have suddenly changed his temperament, and calmly told Bi Ruo, "I want to go to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to be a florist." ”

Ah, I heard you right.

Bi Ruo wiped his sleeves and neckline wet with tea with a handkerchief, and thought calmly while wiping: Fortunately, I didn't eat, otherwise wouldn't I have sprayed rice?
