Chapter 46: Tokyo Hurricane
"Everyone said that Princess Changning was deeply favored by the emperor, innocent and simple, but she didn't expect to be melancholy for the moon."
Gu Hui glanced at him with slanted eyes and didn't make a sound.
Lu Yanliang touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, jumped off the wall, and shook it with a bag of pastries.
"Lu really has something important today, so he had to leave the princess behind, and he specially brought pastries to ask the princess for his guilt today."
Gu Hui snorted coldly, his expression softened a little after all, and he sat directly in front of the stone table, smiling rather than smiling.
"Brother Lu really likes to be a gentleman on the beam, and he came to my wall again today...... Bring me pastries? I think they're here to shut my mouth! â
Although saying this, Gu Hui looked at the lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake on the table, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, picked up one and ate it, his mouth bulging like a little hamster.
Lu Yanliang smiled in a good mood, picked up a pot of wine he carried with him and took a sip, looking at the girl who was still covered with thorns just now, but instantly softened.
Could it be that the emperor just likes her cheekiness and is so favored?
"Tsk, you want to buy me with a bag of pastries."
Lu Yanliang smiled softly, his voice crisp.
"So princess...... Are you willing to accept Lu's bribe? â
I don't know if it's because the moonlight is too gentle, Gu Hui only felt a little ripple in her heart, and she snorted in a hurry.
"That's... I'm not so idle, I go to expose this and that every day. â
So you can rest assured.
Gu Hui looked at Lu Yanliang, his eyes were facing each other, and his eyes were serious.
What's more, there is no benefit in exposing it, she has no grudges with Lu Yanliang, and she is not the kind of person who wants to do the right thing for heaven as soon as she encounters something.
Lu Yanliang laughed happily again, he only felt that tonight was the most laughing since he was three years old, and Gu Hui was the most transparent person he had ever seen at a young age.
Smart people don't talk too much about each other, but if they have agreed, they will definitely do it.
Lu Yanliang stood up, bowed slightly, and touched the top of Gu Hui's hair, only to feel as soft as he imagined. He smiled happily, picked up the pastries and flasks on the table, and jumped out in one dodge.
"Hey! My pastries. â
She just ate a piece, but she took it away from the pastry she gave away.
Lu Yanliang's voice came from afar, with a smile but making people gnash their teeth.
"Eating too much sugar at night is not good for your teeth, so Lu helped the princess solve it."
Gu Hui pursed her lips and touched her head, fortunately her hair was not messy, she breathed a sigh of relief, and put her hands on her chin and smiled stupidly.
[Good-looking people are really good-looking in everything they do, and that face is simply a crime. ã
Alas~
But the heart is too dark......
I can't stand it.
âŽ(ī¸ļīšī¸ļ)â
Standing up, Gu Hui clapped his hands, the sorrows in his heart disappeared, and he decided to go back and sleep well, and tomorrow he would go to listen to the steward of the city that never sleeps to report on the current financial situation.
Early the next morning, Gu Hui came to the largest pawn shop in the city that never sleeps, accompanied by Nuan Chun.
There are four big characters at the door, pawn at night.
The main thing to do here is the pawn business, divided into live pawn and dead pawn, the price of the dead stall is higher, but it cannot be redeemed, the price of the live stall is lower, and a certain handling fee is required for redemption.
There has been a pawn industry in this dynasty, but most of them are retail investors, and a complete system has not yet been formed, Gu Hui has a complete set of plans in his heart, and as soon as the funds are in place, he is naturally familiar with it.
Pawnshops are also engaged in a business that is not fully developed, which is to lend interest to those who need money urgently. Nowadays, the loan sharks on the market are very dark, and most of them are three-point interest.
And here only needs a penny, although compared to modern times is still more, but in the ancient environment is already a conscience, some people who are in urgent need of money can also solve the urgent need.
When they first arrived, they met a young man with a nervous expression, who was holding a very delicate bamboo painting in his hand, only the size of two palms, and it was rare that the maid on it was lifelike, and her expression was very clear and charming.
"Shopkeeper, take a look at it again, my bamboo painting was handed down by my grandfather, how can our family heirloom be worth only 20 copper plates?"
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand very impatiently, "Go away, go away, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't sell it, how much can your broken bamboo be worth, if I don't look quite exquisite, 20 copper plates won't come out." â
Chang Sheng walked out of the pawnshop with a pale face and dull eyes holding the bamboo painting in his arms, he looked at the heirloom in his arms, thought of his father was terminally ill, his eyes were very tangled, and he turned around.
"Shopkeeper, I ......"
"This little brother, please wait."
Nuan Chun stepped forward to stop Chang Sheng and nodded, "This little brother, my master is invited, she is very interested in your bamboo paintings." â
Chang Sheng's eyes lit up, like a lonely boat drifting on the sea and saw the big boat, and he wanted to leave with Nuan Chun.
"Wait!"
Shopkeeper Li stopped the two, looked at Nuan Chun's full bearing, and the clothes on her body were extraordinary, guessing that her master was not an ordinary person, and she spoke a little politely.
"This girl, I was talking to this son about business just now, and everything has to be said on a first-come, first-served basis."
Nuan Chun looked at Shopkeeper Li and smiled meaningfully.
"But I don't think you and this boy have come to an agreement."
"Who said no, so be it, because your father is seriously ill, I will add another 30 copper plates to you, and 50 copper plates are fine!"
Chang Sheng firmly held the bamboo painting, and it was obvious that the price was still a drop in the bucket for him.
But when cornered, he could only compromise, he nodded, and was about to agree.
"This son, can you show me your treasure?"
Chang Sheng lowered his head and looked at the source of the voice, it was a very luxuriously dressed but delicate and cute girl.
Any kind of jewelry on the girl's body is worth a lot of money, and she must not covet his things, Chang Sheng thought about it and sent the bamboo painting in his arms to her.
Gu Hui's eyes lit up when she saw the bamboo painting, she reached out and touched it, her bones were cold, looking at the year for a long time, the color in some places was not so gorgeous, but it was rare that it did not fade, but had a unique sense of simplicity.
Gu Hui looked surprised, raised his head and asked.
"I bought this bamboo painting of yours for twenty taels of silver, do you have any other bamboo products at home?"
Chang Sheng looked stunned, obviously very surprised that in a short period of time, the price of his heirloom had risen so many times, and replied stupidly.
"This kind of painting is just one of our family, my grandfather made it, and my father and I made a little bit of other bamboo products."
Hearing that someone would do it, Gu Hui was even more pleasantly surprised.
"Will you do it? That's even better, if the quality is passable, I'll buy both. â
In her heart, she already has another plan to make money.
[Author's digression]: Lu touched the princess's hair and floated away.
Gu Hui touched his head and sighed: Fortunately, the hairstyle is not messy, otherwise I would have to find him desperately.
Lu someone: Why don't you look shy?
Gu Hui: Your heart is too dark! ã(â,â)ã
